(Some of our discontented folk, who must be "on 'he move," tnay learn a lesson from the sage swallow who was "tired oftravel" and would "stay in London."] Lo, on the roofs the swallows congregate, What time the raindrops of October patter, And each one talks about his future fate ; And bless my soul, bow merrily they chatter ! "I'm off to Memphis," are the words of one, "A nest by azure Nile was the suggestion Of r*e old lyrical Anacrcon, Ere earth was plagued with an Egyptian question." "Well, I'm for Athens," quoth another bird ; Extremely pleasant is the Greek metropolis, Dear Procne's wailings long ago it heard ; And I've a cosy nest in the Acropolis." "I'm for Stamboul," thus twittered Number Three; "I like the Turks, who desperately tore an Enormous slice from Europe. Then, you see, I'm rather heterodox, and Kive the Koran." Another said, "Afar in Eastern land Tartars would snatch oil England's gold tiara ; I mean to tiy straight off to Samnrcand, And watch the Russian armies through Bokhara." "Away ! away ! and at your swiftest pace ! Coino back, and tell what's done and who is undone," So spake the sagost of the swallow raco; "I'm tired of travel, and shall stay in London." [From the Philadelphia Inquirer.] 14 IN IIAI'OQ I - lEE AS. Kisliaooquillas! beautiful word, Soft as the river it christens, That drops from the mountain down like a bird, In trills ot natural melody heard, Saying to any who listens Under the hemlocks, over the willows— "Kishacoquillas !" Ouce, when a boy, I strayed from thy rills, Far in the green Alleghauies, Adown through tho cleft of the wild grey hills, To the golden valley of brooks and mills. Where the strong Juniata's refrain is Waiting to bear thee away on his billows— "Kishacoquillas!" Shrill the bald eag'e screamed to tear Thy silvery trout he had taken ; Tho eyes of the red fox winked from his lair ; Deep in thy sands were the tracks of the bear : By tho stag's tall antlers shaken, The boughs of the beeches murmured to thrill us; "Kishacoquillas !'■ Down the long aisle of ash and oak Shyly the deer were grazing ; Cherrily echoed the lumbermen's stroke ; Bluely arose their camp-fire smoke ; Dreamy by distance the sons they were raising; Thou with thy life in thy name seemed to thrill us ; "Kishacoquillas !" Called the young quail from the mossy brake ; The woodcock whirring a soaring; Rang his alarm the rattlesnake ; The cataract climbed the beard of the lake; The old red mill slept a snoring; Bending the cattle drank uniler the willows, "Kishacoquillas Sweeter thy water than sugar that drips In tho cup ot thy maples wounded ! Sweet as kisses on maiden lips Thy name, that is music to him who sips Each time that it* prattle is sounded, Liquid and loving, like thee to thrill us, "Kishacoquillas!" GEORGE ALFRED TOWNSEND. A SEA SICK TRAGEDIAN. Sea sickness is a sad leveler, to which the strongest minds succumb, leaving nothing but the desire to touch terra lirma again. An eminent artist, who has recently made a most successful tour in California, returned East by steamer. Scarcely had the ship got out of sight of land before the Thespian was laid by the heels with mat da mer. In the depths of his despair he called for the Captain, and when that worthy arrived, the tragedian gazed at him for a few moments and then asked ; "Ar-r-e—you the Captain ?" "I have that honor," said the son of Neptune. "Ver-r-y well—sir. I want you to run this blasted ship ashore. I'll pay for her, hull, engines and cargo." The Captain smiled and told his un happy passenger it was impossible. "Ver-r-y well, sir-r-r. Tie her to a rock, then, and stop this blasted rol ling." Being assured that this was also im possible, the wretched actor retired to his stateroom, and lying there in mor tal agony, cursed the sea and all that appertained to it with oaths both loud and deep. Now, it so happened that the Rev. Mr. Chadband, wlia had collected a large amount of money in California, to purchase fine tooth combs and tracts for the Digger Indians, was on his way East to invest his funds, and occupied the stateroom next to the actor's. Hor rified at the roars of the sick lion, he walked into his stateroom just as he let off'another volley of anathemas, which extorted a deep groan from Chadband "Halloo," said the player, "are you sick ?" "Sick at heart, brother," was the re sponse, "to hear you use such bad lan guage." "It is a bad habit," said the wretched artist, "but hang it, sir, here I've been turned insideout for three daysthrowing up everything possible, and if I'm sick any longer, curse me if I dou't think I shall throw up my engagement in New York. Blast the sea !" "Don't, my dear sir, don't curse so. Remember One who was patient under much greater suffering than yours." The tragedian rose to his full height, and, running his fingers through his hair, as he chewed his voice for a mo ment, replied : "1 do remember Ilim, sir-r-r, and I remember that when lie wascaughtat sea, lie got out and walked , and I wish I could follow His example in that re spect, at least." Mr. Chadband concluded that any : more missionary effort in that direction I would not be very profitable. THE (-O.MIXG FONGRF.RS AND THE PRESIDENT. The Pant anil the Present. Theadjourned meeting of the first ses sion of the Fortieth Congress will com mence on Thursday next, the 21st in stant, and end on Saturday, the 30th November. On Monday, the 2d day of December the regular session will commence, when, it is understood, the President's message will he sent in, that being the commencement of the regu lar session. No message was sent in at the special July session which was not held under any law or usage, nor is any necessary to inaugurate the prolonga tion of the same session. The .1 uly ses sion was held for the purpose of im peaching the President, but it having been deemed advisable to postpone the project, the two houses agreed to ad journ till the 21st of November, when the report of the committee on the ju dicary upon the impeachment subject will be received, and will probably oc cupy the exclusive consideration ofCon gress during tlie adjourned session.— The chairman of the judiciary commit tee is Mr. Wilson, of lowa, and is un derstood to be opposed to presenting articles of impeachment, as are also two other members of the committe of five, making, therefore a majority of the committee against that extreme measure. In the event of their refusal to present articles of impeachment, it is believed that other members of the House will attempt to do it indepen dently of the committee; a good deal of excited debate, ho** ver, may be anticipated, ending in no decisive ac tion. If the House was not prepared for impeachment in July, but thought it best to wait for the results of the fall elections before coming to a final con clusion, it may be safely predicted that, after the emphatic condemnation which the people, including men of the republican as well as other parties, have uttered against the excesses of rad icalism, it will not be deemed in the in terest of the party to press impeach ment now, though, in its stead, a reso lution of censure upon the President may be passed and go upon record.— Theeffectof such proceedingsislikely to prove even more impotent for harm, except to the actors in it, than the fa mous resolution of censure passed upon General Jackson for the removal of the deposits from the United States Bank by the Senate of the United States, at a time when the Senate was composed of the most illustrious men of the na tion. The resolution charged a high crime upon the President in violating the laws and constitution to obtain power over the public treasure, to the dan ger of the liberties of the people, and a misdemeanor in dismissing the late Secretary of the Treasury from office. It was thought by the Senate that the passageof the censure resolution would demolish General Jackson, but it had exactly the opposite effect, and not withstanding the unprecedented finan cial distress which then prevailed throughout the country, and the adroit use which was made of it to stir up popular indignation against General Jackson, the instinctive sagacity of the people saw that the senatorial cen sure was prompted by private griefs of General Jackson's political rivals, and their innate sense of justice and charac teristic love of fair play revolted at the trial and condemnation o! a man by his avowed enemies. Andrew Jackson stood then, as Andrew docs now, the sole obstacle to the powerful combination which was arrayed against him ; but his firmness was equal to the emergency, and he never lost faith in the people, being in the habit of declar ing, "The people will take it up after awhile." The people did take it up, and the resolution of censure made him more popular than ever, whilst those who had passed it were politically crip pled, and lived to see the day when it was formally expunged from the re cords of the Senate. The "protest" that General Jackson addressed to the Senate after its resolu tion had passed contains many views and arguments not inapplicable to the similar proceeding which is said to be contemplated against President John son. lie contended that the resolution was essentially judicial, and that though the Senateposesses a high ju dicial power, it r | taey were dead. They heard his words, but did not understand them. He was too abstract; ho shot over their heads. Snatching his watch from his pocket, he said, "James, what is this I hold in my hand ?" "A watch, sir." "A little clock." said another. "Do you see it ?" "Yes, sir." "How do you know it is a watch ?" "It ticks, sir." "Very well; can any of you hear it tick ?"' All listen. After a little pause: "Yes, sir we hear it." Then he took off the case, and hold that in one hand and the watch in the other. 'Now, children, which isthe watch?' "The little one in your hand, sir." "Very wel', again. Now, I will put the case aside—put it way down there, in my hat. Now, let us see if you ean hear the ticking?" "Yes, sir, we hear it," cried several voices. "Well, the watch can tick, and go and keep time, you can see, when the case is off, and put in my hat. 80 it is with you, children. Your body is nothing but the ante. The soul is in side. The ca. e may be taken off, and buried in the ground; may be cast in to the fire, or thrown into the sea, but the soul will live on just as well with out the Oody, as this watch will keep on ticking when'the case is laid aside." Now that illustration and that thought will live in the minds of those children who heard it forever. PLUM P WOM EX.— The New York Ga zeite concludes a plea for 'plump wo men' as follows: But whatever educa tion our girls have, let us have less of it. American girls are notorious for their pallor and frailty and tendency to wither and lose their charms at an early age. This country has no great er want at the present time than of plump girls and plump women. Let us have them plumpand healthy,wheth er they know anything or not. We can teach their children what they do not know, if neccessary: by all means let us have rosy blossoming, solid wo men. The Pacific railroad is not half so important to the prosperity of this country as the aggregate avoirdupois of its women. The female sex of Ameri ca ought to weigh at least half as much again as it does. To KEEP POTATOES FROM HOTTING. —The Germantown Telegraph is au thority for the following which may be worth something to farmers whose potatoes already show signs of rotting badly. Thesurest protection against the rotting of potatoes, after being har vested, there is no question, we think, is air slacked lime. Let the lime be sprinkled over the bottom of the bin before filling, and repeat the applica tion at each foot of potatoes until the bin is filled up. The quantity is what a farmer would call a good sprinkling. Potatoes should be excluded from the light, and where convenient, covered with old carpet. When buried out of doors, a light dry spot should be select ed, which can be thoroughly drained, and then pursue the same with the lime as before. A vent must of course be left as in the top for the escape of the confined air. GOOD HAMS. —After hams have been smoked, take them down, thoroughly rub the flesh part with molasses, then immediately apply ground or powder ed pepper, by sprinkling on as much as will stick to the molasses, when they must be hung up again to dry. Hams treated in this manner will keep per fectly sweet tor two or three years. This must be done before the fly depos its its eggs, for after that is done, noth ing will slop their ravages. The above has been practiced in our section for more than twenty years. No soaking is necessary. One pint of molasses and one and a half or two pounds of black pepper are sufficient for any ordina y family. Try this plan, if you want good sweet hams.— Cor. Rural Ameri can. SALT AND ASHES FOR HORSES. — Those keeping horses, should, twice a week, throw in a handful to each of salt and ashes. Mix them by putting in three parts of salt to one of ashes. Horses relish this, and it will keep their hair soft and tine. It will pre vent bois, colic, &c. A' little ground sulphur mixed with salt and ashes, and given once in two or three weeks, is also beneficial. All domestic ani mals will be thus benefited. — American Farmer. HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPEKS.—The fol lowing are a Jew valuable household hints, which are worth preserving: Save your suds for garden plants, or for gaiden yards, when sandy. Wash your tea-trays with cold suds, polish with a little Hour and rub with a dry cloth. Frozen potatoes make more starch than fresh ones; they also make nice cakes.
