How to take Life.
" Take life like a man. Take it: just as
though it was—as it is—an earnest, vital,
essential affair. Take it just as though
you personally were born to; the task of
performing a merry part in it —as though
the world had waited for your coming.—
Take it as though it was a gfand opportu
nity tp;do and achieve, to carry forward
great-ind good schemes ; to hblp and
cheer a suffering, weary, (it may be heart
broken) brother. The fact is, life is un
dervalued by a great majority of mankind.
It is not made half as much of as sbou;d
be the 'ease. Where is- the man pr woman
who accomplishes one tithe of whjit might
be done? Who cannot look back upon
opportunities lost, plans frustrated/ aspi
rations unfulfilled, thoughts crushed, and
all caused by the lack of the necessary
1 and passible effort.
If wc knew' better how to take and
make the most of life, it would be far
greater than it is. Now and then a man
stands' aside from the crowd, labors ear
nestly, steadfastly, confidently, and straigt
way becomes famous for wisdomyintellecfc,
skill, or greatness of some sort. The
world wonders, admires, idolizes, and yet
it only illustrates what each map may do
if he takes hold of life with a purpose. —
If a than says he i oill, and follows it up,
there is nothing in reason he may not ex
pect to accomplish. There is no magic,
no miracle, no aficret to him whh is brave
in heart and determined in spirit.
An Interesting Story;— “ Shon, my

Getting married.
.Hi C. BERN,
During the last summer a little incident
transpired in one of the eastern towns,
which afforded spme amusement to the
spectators at the time, and fuoiished food
fur a considerable gossip thereafter. It
occurred in church, in ope of those" quiet
afternoons when all the world seems ready
to drop asleep; when the flies buzz lazily
qu the .window-panes, and the dog lies on
the door stone.
The afternoon service had ended, and
the congregation wero ; arranging them
selves for the benediction, when, to the
great astonishment of the worshippers,
the good parson descended from the pul
pit to the desk below, and said in a calm
clear voice.
“Those wishing to be united in the
holy bonds of matripiony, will now please
come forward.”
A deep - stillness instantly fell over the
congregatidjjjjbroken u&ly by the rustling
of silk, as some “pretty girl or excited
matron changed her position to catch a
view of the couple to be married. No
one, however, arose, or seemed the least
inclined to rise.
Whereupon, the worthy clergyman, be
lieving his first notice unheard or misun
derstood, repeated the invitation in a still
plainer voice:
“ Let these persons wishing to be united
in the holy bonds of matrimony now come
forward.”
Still no one stirred. The silence be
came alarming, and a painful sense of the
awkwardness of the position was gradually
spreading among those present, when a
young gentleman who had occupied a va
cant seat in the broad aisle during the ser
vice, slowly arose and deliberately walked
to the foot of the altar. He was a good
looking and-well dressed man ; butmo one
kne|W him, and no female accompanied his
travels. When he arrived within a re
spectful distance of the clergyman, he
paused, and with a reverent bow stepped
to one side of the aisle, but neither said
anything nor seemed at all disconcerted
at the idea of being married without a
bride.
The clergyman looked earnestly around
for the bride, who, he supposed, was yet
to arrive, and at length remarked to the
young gentleman, in an under tone :
“ The lady, sir, is dilatory I” -
“ Very, sir.”
“Had we not better defer.the ceremo
ny?”
“ I think not. Do you suppose she will
be here soon ?”
“ Me, sir!” said the astonished shop
herd—“ that is a matter belonging to your
self.”
A few moments more were suffered to
elapse in this unpleasant state of expect
ancy, when the clergyman renewed his
interrogatories :
“ Did the lady promise to attend at the
present hour ?”
“ What lady ?”
“ Why, the lady yod are waiting here
for?” !
“ I did,not hear her say any thing about
it,” was the young gentleman's unsutisfac
tory reply.
“ Then, sir, may I ask why you are
here, and for what purpose you triflle in
the sanctuary of the Most High?” said
the clerical gentleman, evidently somewhat
enraged.
“ I came, sir, because you invited all
those wishing to be united' in the holy
bonds of matrimony to step forward, and
I happen to entertain such a wish Z I
am very sorry to have misunderstood you,
sir, and now I wish you a very good
day.”
The benediction was uttered with a so
lemnity of tone little in accordance with
.the twitching of the facial nerves; and
when, after the church was closed, the
story gave wind among the congregation,
more than one girl regretted that her
wishes had not been as boldly expressed
as those of the young gentleman who had
really wished to be “united in the holy
bonds of matrimony.” .

chips to kindle the fire, while her husband
lies- in bed ; it shows that she thinks more
of him than of herself.
I like to see mechanics keep their shpp
doors and windows closed until the sun is :
an hour high, to show they- are indepen
dent and ask no favor of their customers.
I like to see a young woman walking
the, streets on Sunday in her silks, with
holes in her stocking—it shows that they
'are mote attentive to things! above than
below.
I like to see men crowding around- the
biir-room on Monday morning before sun
rise, it shows their anxiety to get to the
week’s employment in good season.
I like to sec a woman send her butter
to market in a dirty cloth, it shows- econo
my and saves washing. -

How a Darkey got to EastoU,
A genuine son of Hanoi’, some sixteeh;
or seventeen years of age,; asked the con
ductor, Mr.- , to let him ride to Eas
ton, but he refused to do so. As the
train was about starting, however, 1 one of
the hands employed on it told Sambo to
jump on, which be did. After the train
had been sometime oh its way, the con
ductor, in passing round to collect the
fare, came to where Sambo sat,,- when the
following dialogue ensued ? ; r .
Conductor —Where’s your ticket ?
Sambo—Got none, massa.
C.—Who told you to get on ?
S. —De gentleman on de injine.
C. —Well, I wan’t you to get off at the
next station
% S. —Yes, sab.
At the next station, sure~enougli;' Sam
bo got off; but when the conductor called
out “ all aboard,” he jumps on again.—
Presently Mr. Conductor in going his
rounds again; came to where Sambo sat,
when th 6 dialogue was revived :
C. —Didn’t I tell you to get off at the
last station ?
S. —Yes, sab, so I did; but den you say
“all aboard,” den I pops'on again.
C.—Well now I tell you to get off at
the nest station.
S.—Yes sah. I will.
At the next station, as before, Bambo
got off; and at the word “all aboard” he
jumps on again. The train had sped
on its way, when the conductor was not a
little surprised and chagrined to find bis
colored passenger still on board.
(J.—l told you that you should get off
at the next station. Why didn't you do
so ?
S. —I did, sah, but you said agin, “all
aboard,” den I got on agin.
0. —Well you’ve rode so far, I guess
you may ride the rest of way.
Tue Squire’s Indigestion.— Squire
II was a very successful and sub
stantial farmer, in an interior town of
Massachusetts, and a .more amazing eater
never lived in any town anywhere. And
especially much did he eat when fresh
pork was to his nourishment. Well, at a
certain time one ,of his hogs had been
killed. The next morning there was fresh
pork for breakfast, and the old man ate
most wondrously. In the course of the
forenoon he ate nis luncheon, consisting
of bread and butter, mince-pic and cheese.
At noon his dinner consisted of fresh
pork, pickles, mince-pie, and the usual
accompaniments. His afternoon luncheon
was like tnat of the forenoon. When he
came home to supper his favorite dish had
not been prepared as part of that meal.
The old man fretted and scolded till fresh
pork was added to- the substJntials. He
ate voraciously as usual.; In the evening
he toasted some cheese, buttered it and
ate it. < Just before going to bed he roasted
a couple of apples and ate them. In the
night he was taken with a severe colic
The doctor was with him till morning, and
nearly wrought a miracle in the old man’s
life. The uext.day Belles \VS. - onc
of his neighbors, went in to condole with
the “ Old Squire.” “ Faithful Holies,’?
said the old worthy, “ I like to have died
last night. I’ll never eat another roast
apple as long as I,live. I never did lpve
them very well, and last night I ate only
two, and they dearly killed me!”
Bolles never told this story without
laughing.

A Loafer's Soliloquy.
I wish I knew whereto get a cent, I
do. Blest if I don’t., emigrate to Kamt
schatka, to ' dig gold. Money’s scarcer
thanfwit; esh’t live by either at least I
can’t. Sold the last old shirt, pawned my
boots for three cents, and went home as
rich as a lord.
Told my landlady I had a hundred
thousand dollars, and wanted the best
room in the house, resulted me by say
ing the attic was much tbp good for me.
I’m an injured individual. Society
persecutes me, 1 don’t do any
barm as l know on. 1 don’t rob,winder’s
houses. I don’t know widders. 'l..don’t
put the : bottle to my neighbors lipi?.. I
ain’t got no neighbors, and the fact is,'l
don’t owp any bottle. Couldn’t fill it if
I did. I’m; an innocent, man. Nobody
can look me in the face and say I ever
hurt ’em—nobody; arid yet 1 haven’t got
a roof to lay me head into. My old land
lady rated me—-why? I couldn’t pay and
I left.. ’Cause why ain’t it better to dwell
in the corner of a housetop than with a
brawling woman in a wide house ? But I
ain’t got a housetop; and if I had a corner
wouldn’t be safe, would it?

I’m a desp’ntc man. I’d get to work
if it was: not for my excessive benevolence.
I’m afraid of taking the bread out of some
body’s mouth. Besides, wisdom is the
principal thing; don’t the book say so ?
What’s money to wisdom ? Ain’t I stud
ying character ? If a man kipks me be
cause I can’t pay for my linkers, ain’t I
getting Understanding? Ain’t it a lesson
to human patur’ ? I’m told the world
owes me a living. When is it going'to
pay, I wonder ? I’m tired waiting.
A Battle-Field a Fortnight after
the FiqHi.-p-"A correspondent of the Cin
cinnati Gazette, who was one of a party
sent to Springfield, Mo., for the body of
Gen. Lyon, gives the following account of
the battle-field a fortnight after the fight:
“There still remain about seventy-five
or one hundred unburied bodies upon the
field of battle, besides a largo number of
horses. • The bodies are, in every instance,
those bf Federal soldiers, and are gener
ally lying on hard gravelly ridges. Those
who fell, in the hollows, or where the earth
was soft, ha|e been hid from view. The
stench arising from the field is not as over
powering as might be supposed. With a
single exception, every face has turned as
black as Etbiop’s, and that one, strange
to say, persists in retaining its Circassian
characteristic", In several instances,'the
visitor can flistinctly see where wounded
. men' have dragged themselves from the
places vf here-they fell to the shade afforded
by‘the few shrubby oak bushes in the field,
and there with the crimson lido of life
ebbing away, and no kind hand to admin
ister so trifljng a thing as a cup of water,
for of which they were famish
ing, they laid them down to die. Some
of pur wounded men, who had thus sought
the shade, were not found for three or four
days after the battle. What a succession
of eternities those days must have been
to theip! Corporal Conant, of the First
Missouri Regiment, was left upon the field
four days, and is now doing well. Brave
fellow 1 after he had fallen, although .una
ble to get off his hack, he fired twenty-five
shots at the enemy.”
She Couldn't Trust Him.— A young
gentlemanin Indiana, being both engaged
to bo married and enlisted in a rifle-com
pany,’chose to forego the latter duty,
which, coming to the ears of the expect
ant bride sin hour before the time fixed
for the ttedding, provoked from her the
following note : “Sir—l am constrained
to say while as a wife I should have
mourned ypurabsqnce on the battle-field,
I am do less pained at your want of man
hood ip “ backing out.” .1 am apprehen
sive that after enlisting In my company
yon might Serve me the same way.' The
bearer- will; deliver yon your notes and
Sundry presents. For your kindness to
me I am deeply grateful, and I trust you
will alWays esteem me as ybnr friend. I
can be nothing more.” '
Humanity;—A certain highly merciful
Judge had trial of a man
for murder, by sentepping him to be hung
that very day. A petition was immedi
ately Signed 'by the hair, j ury, add people,
praying that longer time might be given
thd poor prisoner. The Judge replied to
petition that “ the man had heed found
guilty: the jail wan very unsafe, and be
sides, it was so Very uncomfortable that
he did not think a man ought,'to he re
quired to stay in it longer than necessity.”
And His Honor’s ideas of humanity were
promptly (mrned out.
Spurgeon.—-The following anecdote is

“I)r. B—r—S the other day I was so an

Time.—When we play, or labor, or
sleep, or dance, or study, the sun passeth
and the sand runs. In'all the actions a
man performs, some part of his life pae
seth. We die without doing that for which
our eliding life was granted. Nay, though
we do nothing, time keeps in constant
pace and flies as fast in idleness as in em
ployment. An hour of vice is as long as
an hour of ' virtue; but the difference
whiciHollows upon good actions is infinite
from that of ill ones. The good, though
it diminishes our time here, yet it lays up
a pleasure for eternity, and will recompense
what it takes away, with a plentiful return
at last.
