They are left free to build their nests in the Park and to makeit their resort from genera tion to generation. AT A fancy dress ball, in Paris, recently, a lady was seen in a low neck dress, while floating and wa ving an abundance of green gauze. She was politely asked by a gentleman what she personated. "Tire sea. monsieur." "At low tide, tlieu. madams." The lady blushed and the gentleman smiled. SHERIDAN had a very convenient formula for ac knowledging all the new publications that were sent to him: "Dear sir, I have received your exquisite work, and I have no doubt T shall 'be highly delight ed after 1 have read it." The author may take this remark either way, comrlimentary or otherwise.. OVERFLOW AT DENVER CITY.—A dispatch from Denver City, May 22, says: Cherry Creek, which has been dry for several miles above this since 18->9, suddenly filled with water at midnight on the 10th, overflowing the bank and submerging West Denver, doing immense damage. Fifteen to twenty persons were drownded. The loss of property is estimated at over one million dollars. A NEWLY-MARRIED couple at Siudley, England, lately decided to have grandmamma's arm-chair rs et.uffed in her absence, and sent it away tor the pur pose. The old lady, returning, astonished them by saying that there were £4OO among the horsehair.— The chair was sent for and the cash recovered. Fur ther Inquiries realized the fact that au oid petticoat which had been consigned to the rag bag contained a number of sovereigns stitched into* the waistband. ONE DAY a little-girl, about five years old, heard a preacher of a certain denomination praying most lusti ly, till the roof rang with the strength of his supplies- j tions. Turning to her mother, and beckoning the ma- i ternal ear to JV speaking distance, she whispered: "Mother, don't you think that if he lived nearer to God he wouldn't have to talk so loud.'"' Such a ques- j lion is worth a volume on elocution in prayer. Yoc KNOW the story of the boy who would not cry, though the wolf TO gnawing him beneath his frock. .Most of us have some wolf to gnaw us somewhere; bnt we are generaly gnawed beneath our clothes, so that the world doesn't see, and it behooves us so to j bear it that the world shall not suspect. The man who goes about proclaiming himself to be miserable will be not only miserable but contemptable as well. — Anthony Trotiopc. No MAN and no woman is safe who has once formed the habit of looking to drink for solace, or cheerful ness. or comfort. While the world goes well they will likely be temperate; but the habit is to build, the railroad to destruction is cut ready for use, the rails are laid down, the station houses erected, and the train is oirthe line waiting only for the locomotive ; it comes to-us: it grapples its, ar.cl away we go in a mo ment. down the line wo have been years constructing, like a flash of licrhtning. to destruction.

A QUESTION IN ENGINEERING. —A young man re cently presented himself for examination as Assis tant Engineer in the Navy. Among other questions, the following was asked of liiin : "Suppose you had built an engine yourself, performed every part of the work without assistance, and knew that it was in complete order, but when put into a vessel the pump would not draw water, what would you do?" The young maw promptly replied, "I should go to the side ! of the vessel and ascertain If there was any water in the river." Gaess they let him pass. IT IS RELATED of a certain New England divinfe who flourished not many years ago. and whose mat rimonial relations are supposed not to have been of the most agreeable kind, that one Sabbath morning, while reading to his congregation the parable of the supper, in which occurs this passage : "And anoth er said I have bought live yoke of oxen, and 1 go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. And a nothergaid. I have married a wife, and therefore cannot come" —he suddenly paused at the end of this verse, drew off his aiiectacles, and looking round on his hearers, said, with emphasis, "The fact is my brethren, one woman can draw a man farther from the kingdom of heaven than five yoke of oxen !" HELA.VCITOLY TRADEDT AT NIAGARA FALLS. —The Biitfafo Comntrrcial Advertiser says that on Friday morning a woman named Bender threw herself into the rapids is the Niagara river immediately above the brink of the cataract, on the Canada side, and ws carried over the falls. She lived near the spot, and had for some time been partially insane, renderingit necessary on the part oft he tain ily to keep a close watch ifopon her movements. A few moments before ten o'clock she-was sitting quietly in the house knitting, but having been left alone for a few moments.she rush ed from the room, ran to the river and plunged into the boiling waters. It would appear timt her con sciousness returned after she entered the water, as she tossed her arms widely about and cried loudly foras- Distance. Bui of course she was beyond the reach of human aid, and in a few moments was swept over the fall*. ANECDOTES ABOUT GEN. GRANT. The New York correspondent of the Boston Jour nal tells the following stories: "Many inquiries have been made about General Grant's politics. lam happy to inform your readers from his own lips to wh3t party lie belongs and under what banner be marches. A near relative of his has been passing some tirnein this city. Whle with Gen eral Grant at the West, before he was made lieuten ant-general, the friend said to him : "General, I have been inquired of to-day abont yonr polities. 'Did you give the parties any information?' Was the quiet query. 'I did not," was the answer, 'for 1 don't know what your polities are.' Knocking the ashes from his cigar, the General continued: 'When I resided at the South 1 had the opinions and prejudices of south ern people against the republican party. I brought those opinions and prejudices with me when I came to Illinois. Had I taken active part in politics i should have been with the party opposed to the Republi cans. 1 watched Mr. Lincoln's course, and was sat isfied with his patriotism. But these are not the times for parties. Indeed, in this crisis there can be but two parties —those for the country, those for its foes. — 1 belong to the party of the Union. Those who are the most earnest in carrying on the war and putting down the rebellion have my support. As a soldier I obey the laws and execute the orders of all my supe riors. I expect every man under me to do the same." — "When Mrs. Grantleft Washington for her western home she remained a short time in this city at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Several gentlemen called upon her, and in the course of the conversation congratu lated her on the elevation of her husband, and ex pressed a hope taht he would be successful in this campaign. Her whole manner, quiet, dignified and reserved, seemed to express surprise that any one could doubt his success. Pausing a moment she re plied: 'I have no doubtthntyhe General will succeed, for he is a very obstinate man.' This remark ended the conversation. "A Galena neighbor of the commanding-general has been stopping here some time, and seemsuUerly confounded with the sudden growth of his neighbor, the tanner. He can't account, for it, for he was not a marked man in his home, and nobody supposed bim a great man; he seldom talked, asked no advice, gave ncr.e one. but always did what he agreed to aotllie time." * Blackwood's Magazine AND THK British Reviews.

US £}IUIH SEVENTH SmtEl, PHILADELCHIA, APBIL4TH. 1864. The Committee on "Labor. Tncomoa and Revenues." in vito eo-uperation with them in tbe particular work for which they have been appointed. A* no portion of tho people are moro patriotic than the working meu and wo men of the country, it is but just and proper that they should alike have an opportunity to contribute to the oh ject of the Fair. The most equable plnn for accomplish ing this, and, at the same time the easiest one, is to ask for the contribution of a SINGLE DAY'S I.ABOR from all classes in the community. Many will contribute a day of their labor willingly, who would not subscribe their mon ey. TO reach every department of industry and ar' will be a work of great labor, but if attainad, wili be productive of iminese results. The success of the plan will depend upon the hearty co-operation of every element of influence within our lim its and we invite all the guardians of the industrial inter ests, and all others, to tako hold with us in furthering this great work of patriotism and humanity. The Committee is charged with the following duty, to wit : FIRST. —To obtain tbe contribution of" one day's labor." or earnings, from every artisan and laborer, foreman, op erative aud employee: president, cashier; toiler and clerk of every incorporated and unincorporated company, rail road aud express company, employing firm, bank, manu factory, iron-works, oil-works, mill, mine and public of fice ; from every private bunker and broker, importer, auc tioneer and merchant; clerk, agent and salesman : design er, finisher and artist; publisher, printer and mechanic; from every government oilier, contractor and employee ; grocer, butcher, baker and dealer; fanner, horticulturist and producer: from every maiitua uiunker, milliner aud female operative; every individual engaged in turning the soil, tending the loom, or in any way earning a liveli hood, or building a fortune within the States of Pennsyl vania, New Jersey and Delaware. SECOND. —To obtain the contribution of one day's "Rcv enne," from ail the great employingestabliseinents, firms, corporations, companies, railroads and works. THIRD. —To obtain the contributions of one's income from every retired person, and person of fortune—male and female—living upon their means, and from all clergy men lawyers, dentists, editors, authors and professors; all other persons engaged in the learned or other professions. Much of this work must be performed by the personal influence and efforts of ladies and gentlemen associated, or to be associated with the Committee in carrying out this plan. The Committee feel the responsibility of the work they have undertaken, which, to be successful, will require a very pcriect ramification of their plan, and they therefore call upon all earnest people, to assemble themselves to gether in every town, township, aud county, aud form or ganizations of ladies aud gentlemen to eo-operate with them in this great work and labor of love. In the manu facturing counties, the coal and oil regions, and in the agricultural districts,—especially, lot there be organiza tions in the large towns, so that the young people may have an opportunity thus to render assistance to their rel atives aud friends fighting the battles of the country in the armies of the nation. The work of this Committee may be prosecuted where no other effort can be made for the Fair, as in the mines of tho eoal regions. A day's earnings of tho miners, and a day's product of the mines, can be obtained, where no portable article could be procured for transportation.— Indeed there is no part or section of these States where the day's labor may not be obtained, if organizations can be formed to reach them. Tho Committee cannot close without urging upon all Proprietors of Establishments. the duty of taking prompt and energetic action to secure the benefit of tho DAY OP LABOR from all within their control. The Committee deem it unnecessary to do more, than thus to present the subject to thejpcoplc of the three Statu named. In the coming campaigns of our armies, the lu bors of the "Sanitary Commission" will be greatly aug mented. By the first of June 700,000 men—one of the largest armies of modern times—will be operating in tho field. So large a force, scattered over regions to which the men arc unaeeliioated, Must necessarily carry along with it a large amount of sickness, suffering and death, to say nothing of the gathered horrors of the battle field. These sufferings it is our bounden duty, as men and Christians, to relieve. A great and enlightened people, enjoying the blessings of a government of their making, CANNOT REPT GK assistance to men suffering to maintain its authority, and wo will not believe that the "GREAT CENTRAL FAIR," drawing its products from the three States of Pennsylvania, New .Jersey and Delaware, so af fluent in 'all mineral, agricultural and industrial wealth, shall fall behind any similar effort which has vet been made for the relief of the Nation's children. As it is desirable not to multiply circulars; no further authority than this circular will be necessary for any cm ploying firm or company, or any respectable committee of ladies and gentlemen, to proceed ut once, in the work of this committee; and it is hoped that under it, organiza tions will spring up in all the towns and bury regions of tho States of Pennsylvania. New Jersey aud Delaware. Subscriptions will be thankfully acknowledged in the newspapers of Philadelphia; and it is very desirable that they commence soon, us each fresh acknowledgment will stimulate efforts in other localities. All subscriptions should be addscssed to JOHN W.

A pure and powerful Tonic, corrective and alternative of wonderful efficacy in disease of the STOMACHS LIVER AND BOWELS. Curas Dyspepsia, Liver complaint. Tic:: iache. General de bility, Nervousness. Depression >f Spirits, Constipation Colic, Intermittent Fevers, Cramps and Spa-smi, und all Complaints of either Sax. arising from Bodily Weakness whether inherent in the svtem or produced by special causes. Nothing that is not wholesome, genial and restorative in its nature eniors into the composition of Hoatetter'a Stomach Bitters This popular preparation contains no mineral of any kind, no deadly botanical element : no fiery excitant : but it i> a combination of the extracts of rare balsamic herbs and plants with the purest and mild est of all diffusive stimulants It is well to be forearmed against disease, and so far aa human system can be protected by human means against maladies engendered by an unwholesome atmosphere, im pure water and other external causes, Hostetter's Bitters may he relied on as a safeguard. In districts infested with Ftrcr and Ague, it has been j found infallible as a preventive and irresistible as a rcm i edv, and thousands who resort to it tinder apprehension of an attak, escape the scourges and thousands w ho ueg i lect to avail themselves of iu protective qualities in ad j vanee. are cured by a very brief conrse of this marvelous I medicine Fever and Ague patients, after being plied ! with quinine for months in vaiu. until fairly saturated with that dangerous alkaloid, and not unfrequently re stored to health within * few days by the use of Hostet ter's Bitters. Tito weak stomach is rapidly invigorated and the appe tite restored by this agreeable Tonic, and hence it works wonders in cases of Dispepsia and in less confirmed forms indigestion. Acting as a gentle and painless aperients, as well as upon the liver, it also invariably relieves the Constipation superinduced by irregular action of the di. , gc.stive and secretive organs. I Persons of feeble habit, liable to AVrrotn Attarks, IHJ i MI of Spirit*, n.iri Fit of Languor, find prompt and per manent relief from the Bitters. The testimony on this poiut is most conclusive, and from both sexes. The agony of Billions Colic is immediately assuaged by a single dose of tho stimulant, and by occasionally resort ing to it, the return of the complaint may be prevented. As a general Tonic, Hostetter's Bitters produce effects which must bo experienced or witnessed before they can be fully appreciated In cases of Constitutional B'eaV ness, J'rematurs f/eray and Debility and Deeieptitudo arising from Old Age, it exercises on electric influence. In the convalescent stages of all diseases it operates as a invigorant. When the powers of nature are relaxed, it operates to re-enforco and reestablish them. Last, but not le.-ist, it is The. Only Safe Stimulant, being mnnnfactured fromsoundand innoxious materials, and en tirely free from (he acid elemeuts present more or less in in all the ordinary tonics and stomachics of the day. No family mcdiciac has been so universally, and it may betrnly added, deservedly popular with the intelligent portion of the community, a* Hostetter's Bitters.
