pru'S and #th jgtms. ONLY solitary people fall in love. NEVER attempt to reason a man out of an opin ion 5 to change him will not help you ; and there is no such thing as to be certain of the truth. PLEASE. Mr. Smith, papa wants to know if yon won't lend him the model of your hat?"' ''Certain ly my son, what for ?"—"He wants to make a scare crow." OF all the actions of a man's lile, his marriage does the least concern other people; yet of all the actions of a man's life it is the most meddled with by other people. LIFE is a constant struggle for riches, which we must soon leave behind. They seem given to us as the nurse gives a plaything to a child, to amuse it until it falls asleep. LET us so order our conversation in the world that we may live when we are dead in the affections of the best, and leave an honorable testimony in conscience of the worst. "SALLIB," said a fellow to a girl who had red hair, "keep away from me—you'll set me on fire," "No dangsr of that," said Sally, "you are too green to burn." IF we are loved by those around us, we can bear the hostility of all the rest of the world, just as if we are before a warm fire, we need not care for all the ice in the polar regions. No ACCOUNTING FOR TASTES. —In the gallery of, the Convert of Jesuits, at Lisbon, there is a fine picture of Adam in Paradise, dressed in blue breech es, with silver buckles, and Eve with a striped pet ticoat ! A GARRULOUS For, who had annoyed by his indi vidious remarks, his partner in the ball room, among other empty things, asked whether "she had ever had her ears pierced ?" "No," was the reply;. "but I Ifeve often had them bored." MOUERE, it would seem, has been anticipated by Antigonous. It was not the great Frenchman who first discovered that no man is a hero to his valet A flatterer said to Antigonous, "You are Divine." "Ask my valet, he will tell you otherwise." A CHEERFUL life must be a busy one. And a busy life can never be well otherwise. Frogs do not croak in running .water. Active minds are seldom troub led with gloomy forebodings. They come up only from the stagnant depths of a spirit unstirred by generous impulses or the necessities of honest toil. A BROAD HINT. —A bachelor sea captain who was remarking the other day that he wanted a good chief officer, was promptly informed by a young lady pre sent, that she had no objection to be his first mate. He took the hint—and the lady. THE LAST \Y ILL AND TESTAMENT of a shop-keeper of the Rue St. Denis in Paris, who died recently, ended thus : "I desire my heirs to take measures at once for my autopsy and to place iny body in the hands of men of science, that it may be carefully dissected, for I am determined to know the cause of my death." FRATERNIZING. —There was great excitement early one morning a few weeks ago in the Jardan d' Ac climation, at Paris among the featheredinhabitants, in consequence of the appearance of a flock of wild ducks, which fraternized most amicably with their foreign relatives. The appearance of the guardians by no means disturbed them. The visit lasted some hours, and it was not till late in the afternoon that the flock winged its way in a northerly dirction. A Vow FULFILLED.— The Burlington (Vt.) Times speaks of a gentleman who on hearing of the fall of Fort Sumter, vowed that he would never cut his hair till "Old Glory" should float again over the fort.— His time of trial has been longer than he anticipa ted, and his hair has grown into anaconda-like coils, his tresses becoming thick-plaited, stout and strong. But he is now at liberty to ply his shears and sweep away this reminder of the opening scenes of the war. A SAGE Frenchman has just discovered a plan by which all our difficulties cau be ended, and publish es his scheme in full in the New York Courrier des Etats Unis. The South must give up its plan of separation and also slavery. Good. But the North owes the Sonth some return for these sacrifices.— Messieurs. Lincoln and Johnson. Davis and Ste phens, have only to sacrifice their places to their country, by sending in their resignations, and then let the Congress of Washington and Richmond pro claim General Lee President of the Union [!]! Oh yes. THE Charleston Mercury has entered on a migra- j tory existence of it forsook its ground, it maintained ! its fath, as is evident from the following, taken from its "last dying speech "South Carolina entered into this struggle for no • other purpose than to maintain the institution of slavery. Southern independence has no other ob ject or meaning. Independence and slavery must stand together or fall together. The Mercury used its last breath to denounce the arming of slaves, preferring to go down in the struggle, to victory even, through such an expedi ent FILLIBUSTEB.— The word fillibuster is derived from the river, Vly, in Holland. In the Seventeenth cen tury, small, fast-sailing vessels, of about one hun dred tons burden, were built on this river, and such a boat was railed by the Dutch a Vlyboot. They soon became known in England as fly boats, a term which was transferred to Spanish as fillibote, or by a softening of the first sylable as filibote. The buc caneers of the West Indies found these light Dutch vessels exactly to their service, and from their using them, the Frene# cruisers gave these pirates the name of flibustiers, or filibusters, an appellation subsequently introduced into several languages. The V lyboot af Holland occupied two hundred years ago the same position in navigation that is now held by the American clipper-ship. WORSHIPPING THE DEVIL.— The only devil-wor shippers known to exist are the Yezidis, a singular race of people living in Armenia. The Yezdis were formerly Christians, were then converted to Mahom medanism, and now apparently disgusted with both faiths, have taken themselves to diabolism. The theory of their priests is that although the mighty angel Satan, the chief of the angelic host, at pres ent has a quarrel with God, yet a reconciliation will hereafter take place, and he will be restored to his high rank in the celestial hierarchy. This is the foundation of their hope, and they consider them selves perfectly safe in trusting their destiny to it. j Among such a people, the profane phrase "Go to the Devil!' would of course be considered an expres sion of good will. THE OLDEST INHABITANT DISCOVERED AT LAST. A Wisconsin paper says that the oldest man in the world is now living in Caledonia, in that State. His name is Joseph Crele, and his age is one hundred and thirty-nine yeans. He has lived in Wisconsin more than a century, and was first married in New Or eans. one hundred and nine years ago. Some years afterward he settled in Prairie du Chien, while M isconain was yet a province of France. Before t e Revolutionary war, he was employed to carry letters between Prairie du Chien and Green Bay.— It is but a few years ago that he was called as a witness in the Circuit Coifrt, in a case involving the title to certain real estate at Piairie du Chien. to give testimony in relation to events that transpired eighty years before.

The company also owns I acre and 61 perches of lami about 5J miles above the upper island, at the mouth of Kitchey Run, near the town of Emlenton, Venango Co., J'a., upon which is the celebrated Fox and Widei well', with new engine, derrick, building, Ac., Ac., and well bor ed to the depth of 420 feet. This swell was tubed at 358 toet, and in a few bourß pumping yielded about one bar rel of oil, but the proprietors determined to sink it deep er, and the company will, as soon as possible, sink this well if necessary to the depth of 1000 feet or more. The "Stump Islands Company" ownes the whole interest in well, fixtures and land, and "Development Fund" will be i.mply sufficient to complete this well and sink others in i the Islands. There is besides, room enough on the , Rhehey Run tract for several more wells, r The property owned by this company is all practical I toring territory, and persons acquainted with (he land? along the Allegheny and other oil streams, will bear ten timony that we have more practical boring surface tace than many of the 300 acre tracts contain. ( In addition to this, one basis will compare favorably, with the large majority of Companies, whose Capital | stock is five times as great. The services of an efficient Superintendent have been ' i btained, and the Directors are determined to prosecute t perations vigorously. Persons desirous of securing a portion of the 21.01)0 . j hares of stock, must apply soon, to Hon. S. L.

THESE Powders have proved, after a trial of several years, to be superior to any preparation of the kind in use. The chief superiority of these powders arises ftom the fact that they are composed of medicines that have Laxative, Tonic and Purifying properties. The laxative ejects crudities from the stomach and intestines, i the tonic gives strength to the system of the Horse, ami the purifying medicines coiitatned in them cleanse the blood, and lay the foundation for a vigorous and heaitby circulation. The use of them improves the wind, strength ens the appetite and gives the horse a fine, smooth and glos sy skin—thus improving the appearance, vigor and spir -1 it of this noble animal. These powders are not intended, as most powders are '■ to bloat the animal, so as to give him the appearance of being fat when not really so—but to remove the disease and promote his general health. These powders will strengthen the stomach and intes tines, cleanse them from offensive matter, and bring them to a heaitby state. Tbev are a sure prevention of Lung Fever, and a certain remedy for all diseases incident to the Horse, as <landers, Yellow Water, Distempers, Foun der, Heaves, Slavering, Coughs, Fevers Loss oi Appetite and Vital Energy, AC.—These powders, if used iwo or three times a week, through the winter and spring, your horses will never get the Lung Fever Coric or Botts. A few doses of these powders will remove the worst cough, on any horse. Were owners of horses to feed a few of these powders every year, they might save the lives of many valuable horses. MILCH COWS, The properties this powder possesses in increasing the quantity of milk in cows, gives it an importance and value which should place it in the hnnds of every nerson keeping a cow. Ip fattening cattle, it gives them an ap petite, loosens their hide, and makes them thrive much faster, HOGS. In all diseases of swine, as coughs, ulcers in the lungs and liver, Ac., by putting from half a paper to a paper of these powders in a barrel of swill, the above diseases can be cured or entirely prevented. By'using these powders the hog cholera can be prevented. Prepared only br, 8. A. Foutz A Bro. at their Whole sale Drug A Pattent Medicine Depot, No. 118 Franklin St. Baltimore Md. For sale by H. C.

BAXSVART Dear hie : I have used Brown's Bronchial Troches, IV is tar s Lozenges and other prepara tions for hoarseness and Throat Troubles, and in compar ison with them all, can cheerfully commend vour own as a most admirable specific for public speakers "and singers, in cases of Hoarseness, coughs and colds I have" found them serving in time of need most effectually. To C. A. BASSVART— Dear Sir ; In the habit of speak* ing very frequently, and in places where the vocal organ? are very much taxed, I hare found the need of some gen tle expectorant, and that want has been supplied in vour excellent Troche 3. I consider them very far superior to any Lozenges that I have ever used, in removing speedi ly that huskiness of the voice arising from its too frequent use, and impairing the effectiveness of the delivery of publie addresses. Yours. Ac., JNO. WALKER JACKSON, Pastor of the Locust Street Methodist Church. To C. A.
