For The Mariettian lam arc They I Where are no wtheoomPanions or your boyhood, with whom you studied your tortuous lessons at school, and enjoyed your idle hours in sports and games, while MI fledged manhood with all its golden tinted hopes lay basking away in the distant future? Travel the corridors of memory for the history of those early friends, and many will anise before your mental vision, sprightly and buoyant with the healthful glow of vigorous youth, just emerging into the full sta ture of manhood, surrounded with a world teeming with the beautiful and good, wherein every faoulty is afforded boundless sources of culture and expan- *lion, and before realizing the unfolding possibilities profusely strewn around them The flitting panorama reveals them scorched, withered and blighted, by the seductive enchantment of exhilirating drinks, transporting their beauty into putrid grossness, and beguiling them into deeper and deeper degredation• until all the fine traces of humanity are lost in the corroding lusts that makes the human form an object of such loath someneA, that death at last kindly inter poses to remove Oe plague spot from the eight of sorrow stricken friends. And why is it that you have escaped this consuming %ice' it is not because of no inherent virtue that made you invul nerable to its onslaughts. Others as well fortified by strong resistence will and power, have been inveigled into its snares, nor realized their danger until they were carried beyond the reach of succor. Yon have breasted the surging tempest that has carried many of your companions before its fury, only because a combination of favorable cir- cumsta• ces have been your bulwark o& defence against the almost resistless power of this corrupting usage. It is not surprising th.t the victims are so numerous, but a wonder that so many escape its manifold forms of enticement. In no previous age has this world been cursed with a vice of such magnitude as this that is now insinuating itself into favor through every conceivable name, and under the assumed disguise of every healing virtue, gaining most ready ac- , cess to those who from affliction are least able to withstand its inroads upon their constitutional vigor, decoying them by the flattering hope of finding health in the poisoned chalice that impartee the flush and glow of a consuming fever alternating with the tremulous wretch edness of hopeless despondency. This wide spread assault upon the citadel of life, is endangering the safety of every human being, and threatens the perpetuity of the nation. How long shall this course continue to riot upon the common welfare of our country, is for you with whom abides the shaping of its destiny to determine. Are yon willing to see this devastation.of your countrymen continued from year to year unabated or are you prepared , to strike down the invidious foe before your own household shall be smitten by its venom. The present emergency demands prompt and decissiveaction, unity and well direc ted effort will accomplish the deliverance of the nation from this besetting sin. All should hasten to the rescue who desire to see our unequaled institutions transformed unsullied by our vice's to the generation soon to assume its duties and responsibilities. And we shall then have exhibited a spirit of patriotism that will unfold countless blessings non our posterity.

MARIEITA, PA., SATURDAY, AUGUST 3, 1867. The Admirable Crichton. James Crichton wee born in Pertl(._ shire, Scotland, August 21, 1551, and studied at the university of St. Andrews. After he completed his course of studies, be traveled on the continent, exciting wonder everywhere he went by the extent and variety of his learning. He is said to have spoken and written nearly twenty languages, and main tained public discussions with the most learned professor in every city to which he came, as was customery at that time. What seemed still more remarkable, he was not more skilled in the various in tellectual branches of knowledge, than he was in athletic exercises. Few men could run, jump, wrestle, ride or fence with him without establishing his superiority, while his skill in music was the wonder of those who knew him. He was called from the universality of his geniu;, The Admirable Crichton. Paris, Rome, Venice, and Pages were witnesses of his triumphs. Having set. tied in Mantua, where be killed in a single combat a great prize fighter, who had previously killed three men, he was appointed by the Duke of Mantua tutor to his son, Prince Gonzaga a wild and dissolute young man. He, envious of the high qualities and jealous of the supe riority of Crichton, took an opportunity during the carnival, when masks are almost universally used, to attack him with five of his followers. The strength, agility and skill of Crichton, however, made him more than a match for them. He disarmed or disabled them one after another, and when the last begged his life, he found him to be his pupil, the prince. He immediately returned the sword, apologizing to him for the rough treatment he had received from him. The prince, availing himself of the opportunity afforded him by the other being entirely off his guard, in the most ungrateful and treacherous man ner, ran him through the heart. Thus perished oue of the most singularly gifted men that the world ever produced. His .death occurred on the lst of July, 1582, in his 31st year. New York on Sunday. One of the most interesting features of New York life is the Sandal; barge experience of some 20,000 of its inhabi tants. The Times says that on last Sunday, between the hours of nine and eleven, fifteen large sized barges passed the Fulton Ferry. On each there was a large and apparently jolly crowd of men, women and children. Some were dancing to the livery music of a band. some were promenading, others sitting quietly with cigar, paper or book. Oc casionally troubles arise among the passengers, but as a rule the great pro. portion of them are in family partieli, and it being for the gentiral interest that order should reign, the best of good fellowship is maintained. On some of the barges regular bars are opened, on others only edibles, lemonade and soda water aro provided, but a barge without a band would be voted slow and mean, and ever after would be tabooed by the large and decorous class which avail themselves of such accommodations for a day's recreation. An eccentric man in Bath, Me., was asked to aid a foreign mission. He gave a quarter of a dollar, but stopped the agent as he was departing, and said —"here's a dolor to pay the expense of getting the quarter to the heathen." A gentleman who takes common sense views of things, being recently asked his opinion of a poetic individual, replied, "Oh, be is one of those men who have soarings after the infinite, and divings after the unfathomable, but who never pays cash." A. lady in Paris recently gave a con cert at her house. "Do yat like Ros sini ?" said she to one of her guests.— "Rossini ? indeed I do ; he is my favor ite composer." "Are you familiar with his 'Barber' (of Seville) ?" "Oh, dear, no," was the reply ; "I always shave myself." At a recent Fourth of July celebra tion in Marion, Co., 111., a young lady offered the following toast : "The young men of America—Their arms our pro tection, our arms their rewards ; fall in, men, fall in 1" A priest asked a tipsy fellow, leaning against a fence, where he expected to go when be died. "If I can't go any better then than now," said he, "I shan't go anywhere." It often happens, when the husband fails to be home to dinner, that it is one .f is ast days. Guilty, but Drunk. The business of the court was drawing to a close, when one morning a rough sort of a customer was arraigned on a charge of stealing. After the clerk had read the indict ment tolim, he put the question : "Guilty, or not guilty ?" 'Guilty, but drunk, your honor," answered the prisoner. "What's the plea?" asked the Judge, half dozing on the bench. "He pleads guilty, but says he was drunk," replied the clerk. "What is the charge against the man?" demanded the Judge. "le is indicted for grand larceny," replied the clerk. "What's the case ?" "May it please your honoi," said- the prosecuting attorney, "the man is regu larly indicted for stealing a large sum of money from Mr. Christopher Sterret, of the Columbus Hotel." "He is, hey 1 and pleads—" "He pleads guilty and drunk." The Judge was , now fairly aroused. "Guilty, but drunk—that is a most ex traordinary plea. Young man, are you certain you were drunk 2" "Yes, sir." "Where did you get the liquor ?" "At Sterret's." "➢id yon get none anywhere else?" "Not a drop." "You got drunk on his liquor, and then stole the money r Yee, sir." "M r. Prosecutor," sa!d the Judge, "do me the favor to enter in that man's case a nolle prosequi. That liquor at Stet rots is just enough to make any man steal from his grandfather. I got drunk on it myself the other day, and stole Sterret's spoons. Mr. Sheriff, please release the prisoner. Adjourn the Court," EMARKABLE CLOCK:- e follow ing account of a wonderful clock is cop ied from an old publication, dated 1769. it shows how the people of that age endeavored to get ahead of time byre_ lating marvelous stories. 'Some fifty years before,' says the report, 4 a clock was constructed by a Genevan mechanic named Droz, capable of performing a variety of surprising movements, which were - affected by the figures of a negro, a shepherd and a dog. When the clock struck, the shepherd played six tunes on hie flute, and the dog approached wad fawned upon him. This clock was exhibited to the King of Spain who was highly delighted with the ingenuity of the artist. The King at the request of Droz. took an apple cut of the shepherd's basket, when the dog started up and barked. so loud that the King's dog, which was in the same room, began to bark also. lir A South Carolina paper says : An old negro woman, on Tuesday last, gave a letter to the mail agent on the Caroli na train, at a station near Branchville, and asked him to send it for her. The agent said the letter must be stamped. The old woman became indignant, said the darker; were free, and "whar de use of freein' de culled pussmis of you don't free de letters, too," and finally yelled out, "how many stamps he want, eh V' The mail agent said "three I" Down went the letter and down went the old woman's heel. "Dar I Dar 1 Dar I Dar's three stamps, dat snuff, eh 1" She was in angry earnest, and the bystanders were amused accordingly. The agent saw the joke, volunteered to pay the money stamp, and thus doubly stamped, the letter was sent to its destination. . . - ""Illustrated with cuts V' said Milli ebievous young urchin, as he drew his knife across the leaves of his grammar. "Illustrated with cots I" repeated the schoolmaster, as he- drew his rattan across the back of the mischivous urchin. The printer who was fined $2OO in lowa for Imaging a girl -inchurch, mar ried her and was therefore released from the penalty. That is - what you might call jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. A farmer eaw an advertised receipt to prevent wells and cisterns from freezing. fie sent his money and received the following sower : "Take in your well or cistern on cold nights, and keep it by the fire." .. - A country editor describing the bon nets tow in fashion says : "They have a downward slant that reminds .one of _a vicious cow with i board across her e•es." The most troublesooie Nob aro those who have some wit. Women Watchmakers, Twenty thousand Swiss women earn a comfortable living by watch making. They make the movements, and even mostly put them together. A few wo men are finishers. The English Wo- ' man's Review says : "Geneva has re fused to employ women, and totally lost the watch trade. • Noite of the so:called Geneva watches are made therb, but in Neufchatel, where . women have always been employed." A traveler says : "We See women at tbe.head of some of the heaviest manu factories of Switzerland and France, in the watch and jewelry line." In Eng , land, women are employed in one Lou• don establishment, and in several prin cipal towns. Five hundred women are employed at Christ Churclein making interior chains for chronometers. American watches are made by ma chinery, while those imported are made by hand. The Waltham Watch Com. pany employs two hundred artisans, of whom seventy-five are women. tome Swiss women in Camden, N. .T., make inside work for watches. In Boston, women cut the teeth of chronometer and watch wheels, earning from $4 to $6 a week. Delicacy of touch, prac tice, and great care are needed. A. Waltham overseer says men earn double what women do, for they do more diffi cult work, are more thoughtful and contriving, more self-reliant and strong er; and besides it is the custom to pay . women less for the same work. MEN AND WOMEN.—Men love things —as facts, possessions; and estates ; and women, persons ; bud while a man re gards only abstract scientific facts, woman looks only at the person in wham they are embodied. Even in childhood t.e little girl loves an imitation of hu e anity—her doll—and works for it; the boy gets a hobby-horse or tools, and works with them. But the noblest quality wherewith nature has endowed• woman for the good of the world is love —that love which seeks no sympathy and no return. The child is the object of love and kisses and watching, and answers them only by complaint and anger ; and the feeble creature that requires the most repays the least. But the mother goes on ; her love only grows stronger the greater the need and the unthankfulness of its object ; and while fathers prefer the strongest of their children, the mother feels more love for the feeble and gartulons. •RECEIPT TO MAKE A MODERN FOP.

A neighbor shouted at him as he passed, inquiring if he expected to find a custo mer waiting for him. 'Oh, no,' replied the merchant, 'haven't seen one for a week ; but you know there are three partners in our concern, and as there are only two chairs in the counting room, I want to be on hand to secure one. ®' An old toper addresses hie bottle thus: "'Tis very strange that you and I Together cannot pull; For you are full when I am dry, And dry when I am full." A professional begger-boy, some ten years of age, ignorant of the art of read ing, bought a card to place on his breast, and: appeared in, the public streets as a !Voor widow, with eight email children." There are thirty pounds of blood in the human frame, and two hnndred o and forty-eight bones. Women have the same number, not including whalebones. The man who has got into the habit of bowing to every one he , meets, may he safely set down as a nod fellow. Why is the hridegroom worth more than the bride ? Because she is given away, and he is sold. Why is a prosy preacher like the I middle of a wheel ? Because the fellows around him are tired. VOL. XIII.-NO. 52. Stuff for Smiles.

A bashful young man escorted an equally bashful young lady. As they approached the dwelling of the damsel she said entreatingly, "Jehiel, don't tell any body you boomed me home." "Sary, don't you mind," said he, emphatically, "I'm as much ashamed of it as you are.'
