Oh, wiliow. why t'orcvei weep.
Aft one who mourns an endless wrong?
What hidden woe can he so deep?
What utter grief can last so long?
i he •spring makes hasle with step elale
Your life and Icautv to renew;
She even bids the roses wait,
And gives her first sweet care to you.
The welcome red-breast folds his wing
To poor for you his freshest, strain,-
To you the earliest blue birds sing.
i littti your ligtft s thrili aE- : n.
'i'he sparrow trills his wedding song.
And thusts his tender brood to you;
l air flowing vines, the summer loug,
With clasp and kiss your beauty woo.
I'he sunshine drapes your limbs with light,
1 he rain braids diamonds in your hair;
The breeze makes love to you all night-
Yet still you droop and still despair.
Beneath your boughs, at fall of dew.
By lovers lips is softly told
The tale that all the ages through
Ma 3 kept the world from growing old.
But still, though April's buds Unfold,
And Summer sets the earth aleaf,
Or Autumn pranks your robes with gold,
Yon sway and sigh in graceful grief.
iru oa forever, uuconsoled,
And keep your secret, faithful tree!
No heart in all the world can hold
A sweeter grace than constancy.
LOVE'S BEGINNING.
BY THOMAS C V'kKl.T.. -
llow delicious is the winning
Of a kiss at love's beginning,
When two mutual hearts are sighing
For the knot there's no untying.
Yet, remember, midst your wooing.
Love has bliss, but love has ruing;
Other smiles tnay make you fkkle ;
bears for other charms may trickle.
I.ove he comes and Love he tarries.
Just as Fate or Fancy carries;
Longest stays when sorest chidden,
Laughs and flies when pressed and bidden.
Bind the sea to slumber stilly,
Bind its odor to the lily:
Bind the aspen n'er to quiver,
Then bind love to last forever.
TWO W tIOSAL DREAMS.
The abiding jealousy felt in England to
war.. the ' nited States has many causes,
souio of them just, more ] erhaj s nnju t. I n
! one of tltem very strong and very little no
j ticed i hi> is the difference in the forecast
' which Englishmen and Americans make as
to their own destiny. Some cause, which is
very difiieuit to trace, but which is possibly
• 1 •:> • Hi' hereditary anxiety in Ameri
ca, has upon this point absolutely separated
■ tw > people of the same blood and in most
; aspects si rungely similar. The Englishman,
when he tbints at all upon the subject, is
very apt to forecast au unpleasant future for
'ln country. to believe the day will come
when t will he shut up in the ocean, or
starved for want of corn, or ruined bv the
exhaustion oi its coal, or" deprived of its
puM pincnce in manufactures, or in oine
way or.-netr thrown back to a secondary
rank. The notion that hi- country has
riM :<t its zenith, and must from soiu cause
unknown, recede, has for a century been con
siautiy pi -cut to the Englishman's mind,
fiie American, on the contrary, believes in
a boundless future almost visibly before him,
is tii happier for it and the stronger, ac
cepts children with greater readiness, meets
the trouble-, and especially the pecuniary
trouble, of life with greater case and more
perfect # uiy-Ji"iiL Eutuebody, he thinks,
j wid always be wanting something; if he
cuiiiiot grow corn lie van itiakelucifer match
es, ami in a short time "we shall be two
hundred millions, sir, and the scream of the
Atneneau eagle will drown the Te Damn s
of the Old \\ orid; and two hundred mil
lion-, sir, will offer a market for lucifer
matches wide as the universe, profitable as
dealings in petroleum oil." It is all so
amazingly true, too.
There is no vaster dream dreamed on
earth than that of these Americans, and yet
it is all within the iimiis of the possible, so
tar within them that its realization is more
probable than its failure. Judging, as hu
man bciugs are alone entitled to judge, on
the evidence, it is much more likely than
not that in 1966 the American people will
be one hundred and fifty millions, speaking
one language, and that English, and po.-.-e.--
sed of ad the knowledge that language con
tains, with a country of all climates and all
sconces, resources scarcely explored, and an
almost total freedom from physical distress.
Every nice, cultivation and capacity will be
represented in its borders, and nearly every
civilization compatible with llej abjicanism
and a very elastic Christianity. The num
ber of the States will be at lea.-t fifty, and
in each a marked and peculiar society, will
hare been formed under the gradual opera
tion of laws as different as the marriage
laws of \Y isconsiu and V eruiont now are,
and of social systems as separate as those
of Maryland and Massachusetts. Experi
ments of the most gigantic character' will
have been tried to the full, experiments as
wild as the Western one of a nearly unlimi
ted right of divorce, or a? those social
schemes tried so often in Western New York,
or as the idea, so precious to every Demo
cratic mind, of dispensing with every con
trol save that of the parish constable"
A hundred and fifty millions of men of all
races and all ipstincts will be living together I
on one soil under all climates and possessed i
of every resource, coal, and iron, and corn, j
and wine, coal fields so endless that even I
American lavlshoess cannot waste thejn, i
iron fkid,- r,o vast that they will eoii-uuic j
forest- covering a continent, corn-fields j
which will ford the world, and vineyards t
which even now send their produce to the j
owners of Hermitage aud Jbhanuisberg. :
There i - no whence such a race may not pros
ecmb in peace for ages, no form of literature i
;t may not developc, no discovery possible j
to man it may not hope to make, it will,
without an effort, raise 301),OOO.bOU/. of rev

A LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWSPAPER, DEVOTED TO POLITICS, EDUCATION, LITERATURE AND MORALS
or tuinuh, or resistance to authority, or
dread of freedom in its most unrestrained
forms, will, says the American, be as tin
known that land as ignorance or violent
crime. Every man will be secure in his
home, every man equal, every man free to
do whatsoever of good his hand can find, or
his brain invent, or his heart conceive. So
great will be the love of the people for these
institutions, that the idea ofattack will fade
away, for what nation could dream of at
tacking a country in wbich thirty millions of
aimed males, capable of becoming soldiers
in six. weeks, will perish rather than suffer
menace, and will own ships greater in num
ber than those of the rest of the earth?
Yet so great will be content of this people
that .Europe will pass on its way unharmed,
unimpeded, and uncontrolled, save indeed ,
it rny be, ty n;i :xrort"d agreement tl. it
America shall always be left open, a secure
harbor of refuge, the 'shadow of a great
rock to the poor, and the miserable, and
the oppressed. To South and North alike
the land will be open, and while the Dane
eaten out of his home may find in Maine a
climate as rough and manners as kindly as
his own, the Italian unable to prosper may
grow Lacrima Christi on the slopes of Vir
ginia, or renew the myrtilcs of Sicily bv the
blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. There
is room for ail and to spare, and when the
tale is complete, and Americans outnumber
ever., .white race, there will stretch before
thctn other territories to possess, lands more
vast, mountains more various, plains more
rich, rivers still broader, cultivation aud pos
sibilities of social life yet more multiform
and great, tor they may cross the Isthmus,
fix a capital greater than Home, at a spot
where the President can look from the White
House upon two oceans, and stretch away,
pressing on in innumerable hordes, over ihe
glorious wilderness of Brazil and the rich"
alluvium of the Amizon. mine the Andes,
and fill those wonderful plateaus where, as
in Bogota, the apple and the pineapple grow
side by side, and so spread slowly down away
to the Antarctic zone. The half of earth
will then be Americans, and the curse of
divided language done away; and the hu
man race, rid at last of physical misery, of
war, of inequality, and of the paralysis of
powers produced by fears of each other,
may commence a career as new as that which
began when man first instituted marriage
and discovered fire.
It is a pleasant dream, one which makes
New England farmers better, and softer, and
nobler amidst their sordid cares ; and it is all
possible, or at least conceivable. No Eng
lishman with an imagination denies that in
his heart, or even doubts it. and it raises in
him. among other things, that fierce jealousy
which broke out so strangely during the re
cent civil war. lie feels as if this structure
thus visibly rising to the stars cast a shadow ;
over England, as if his own land were lost j
in the haze around that coining Empire, as j
if he were dwarfed by the presence of his j
mightier deccndant. lie feels as a Jew j
might in the year 30, when, conscious that
he .alone of mankind recognized the grand
intellectual and moral truths, he yet saw his
country nominally independent, really hut a
province of all-absoibing and luxurious
Rome.
The bitterness is the greater because the
Englishman, almost alone among mankind,
has neither past nor future, neither dwells {
on the glory of his forefathers nor looks for- ]
ward with hope to the descendants. The ;
Scotch peasant remembers Bannockburn as j
if it were yesterday, the Russian moujikbe- {
lieves in the day when Holy Russia, mis-i
tress of Constantinople, - hall give the law to !
mankind. The average Englishman knows ■
nothing which happened before his father, j
looks forward to nothing in which his eoun- j
try will play a conspicuous part. He has j
few national traditions and no national '
hop"- . !
Ihe educated German believes always in ;
some coming I topia, when all men shall !
have leisure to enjoy, and Germany, safe in ;
her unity, shall plunge i'e ' ---'y into j
thought; and the educated Fr uciimaii n v- j
er wearies of the past of France ; hut the
educated Englishman only wonders how j
men endured lives >o had as those of his fore- !
fathers, looks forward only to the time
when the greatness of England shall have
passed away. Vet if he dreamed, as Amer
icans dream, pleasant things, and yet pos
sible, the dream would not he an ignorant
one.
Lie might dream of a little kingdom in a
rough hut healthy climate, cultivated like a
garden, in which a society of forty millions
had been organized till it was as completely
an entity as a human being, in which the
slightest injury to the meanest was felt as
the plucking of a hair in a strong man'u
beard. In that laud, so small and so cold,
might exist a society coherent as the dia
mond, but with colors as infinitely varied, a
table as bright, facets as definite and as dis
similar—a societv in whil li men rii-b ti< tbn
old kings ot the East realized a luxury inure
than Assyrian, by the aid ofarta more suit e
than those of Greece, yet shared every lux
ury and every art with the meanest of those
around them: anu m which workers, never ]
poor to pinehing, cordially aided in produ- j
cing the magnificence they freely enjoyed ; !
in which thought, for the first time really j
free, for the first time spread among millions, j
would strike out new literatures and novel I
sciences, and add every day not only to HIIIU'S !
dominion over nature —it was a savage who
first tortured earth into multiplying seed
corn —hut to man's capacity for living noble
lives; in which so indefinite would be the ;
variety of position, and circumstance, and I
wc-rk, that every capacity and every disposi
tion should be able to put out and profit bv
the full measure of its powers; in which tlie i
latent use of all forms of weakness should j
become visible, in which the virtues should
be able to act as motors, the passions be !
pruned down into energies.
He might dream of an England in which
every man was educated and could form an
opinion for himself, every man provided with
means sufficient to give his faculties scope,
and every man able to rely on the aggregate
force of all for aid against nature, or time,
or circumstance, as lie now relies on it
against violent evil-doers; an England in
which Parliament should be the brain of a
vast being, ofa municipality with aconscious j
lite, guiding all men, faciliating all measures, ,
making enterprises easy which now seem
impossible or absurd. He might imagine
England thus organized, thus throbbing with
uiany-colored life, ruling quietly over South-
I era Asia, breaking up sun-baked civiliza
tions, sowing the seeds of new life over half:
j mankind, watering every germ as it grew to
maturity, and learning, as all great gavden
j ers learn, to recognize the beauty, and the
| meaning, and the use of things which seem j
j to be ignorant poisonous weeds.
He might dream of an England which had
] reconciled the great difficulties or mankind,
absolute freedom with perfect organization,
liberty with Union, self-will with self-sacri
fice, a State which could act like a man, yet
of which every citizen felt himself a free and
component part.
He might finally imagine England not in
deed as powerful ,m the Union, but sodevo

weapon, with Anglo Baxoa for weight, Celt
for edge, and Scotch for temper, that to at*
| tack it would be simply to strike at a rapier
with a crowbar, which might destroy, but
i not in time to prevent a mortal wound.
Nothing in all that is impossible, once a
; generation is fully educated, and we shall
j educate the next.
Rapid intercommunication is already bind
ing the nation into one great family, till a
| hind cannot be horsewhipped on a remote
1 moorland without a national roar of anger,
j and the House of Commons becomes for all
purposes the councildefamlllc. Let but the
spirit of localism, or. as wc call it, self-gov-
I crnmeut. decay a little more, as it always
i does under education, v and England will be
welded as we have described, will present
| such an aspect of variegated, but not un
happy life.
This dream seems to us as brrht as the
other, though not as vast, as the lawn may
be as beautiful as a prairie, Windermere as
Erie, a garden as a wilderness of wild flow
ers. The element of vastness is only want
ing, and wo can find that in our purposes and
our tropical possessions. Ealissy's life was
noble, though the end of that toil and en
deavor was only a pretty enamel; and the
work of Athens was vast, though she never
covered the space of the Duke of Suther
land's estate.
All that man knows of the ideas which
should regulate human organization was
worked out by a nation of less than 30,000
freemen, so worked out that Europe has no
words for policy save those the Athenians
used, and in eighteen hundred years has iu
vented but one new political idea, the pos
sibility of rule by representation. Vastness
is nothing, organization everything, the
smallest entity with life and potentalities
greater and more than the biggest, if it pos
sesses neither. Grand as the mountain is,
as Kingaley puts it, and oppressive to the
spirit, men who could scarcely be seen on its
•ides, tunnel through it at their leisure.
Rut then we waut the fixed idea that Eng
land. which cannot be the mountain, is to be
the man.— London Spectator.

WHY WOMEN DRESS.
A clever and sprightly female writer
refers to certain fctiictures in liouad
Tabic on female extravagance: and denies
that the sex dres- for one another. "'Wo
men do not dress for one another ; we dress
for you, gentleman—for you alone." Fur
thermore "llagar" declares that a woman
can cheat a man out of his eyes with the
deceits of dress. "You do not know the
difference between natural and artificial
beauty. You do not know whether the
pretty flush on the face is natural or 'put
or..' You do not know whether the soft
uc-s or fairness of a pretty face is nature's
work or'liquid pearl'—the fashionable name
for whitewash. Indeed, you do not. To
use your own words, gentlemen, you only
know when a woman looks well.* Yon
may think you know a-painted face, but you
do not. I could not detect it myself if I
had uot seen the paint nnt on, and were not
familiar with this branch pf high art. And
as long as you think the pretty which we
made up a genuine one, what is the differ
ence whether it is or not ?" Heigh" ! well,
Jenkins, of the Lender rejoices with ex
ceeding great joy that he got safely mar
ried before the age of cosmetic.-, laughing
gas and "the German" dauce. Weil, ' Ha
gar is right after all. On the ladder of
civilization women are always just one rung
below men. As they a.-cend or descend so
do their mothers, wives and dau 7liters. ' i t
is for you we spend our last dollar for dress,"
exclaims II agar. "and go half starved and
comfortless in consequence. It is for you ;
we are just what you make us." Moral by
Jenkins—The women will run after the
men.

rue SOUL'S LONGINGS.
j i* if teen years ago to night, a young girl
j knelt ! .-ncath the starry sky to pray; aud
the burden of her prayer was, that, she
might he endowed with the powers of geni
us ; that power might he given her to write;
to give voice to the tumultuous feelings sur
ging through her soul. This was all the
boon she craved. She asked not for love,
for wealth, or high estate : neither did she
ask for fame ; as yet ambition had no place
in her heart. She asked but for power to
weave together the loose matter that was
clogging up her heart ; to write out its un
written music; its glowing dreams and
prophesies ; and it was granted.
Will it bring her happiness ?
Years passed away. Again she knelt to
pray. Her dark eyes radiant w ith the fight
of genius, were fixed upou the distant heav
ens ; her lips were half unclosed, and her
long dark ringlets fell over her uncovered
shoulders—she looked like one inspired.
Suddenly, the fair head was bent low. and
her hand raised, with a kind of depreca
ting gesture, as if some sorrow had crept iu
upon her joy. Then, folding her arms over
her heart, sue bowed her face in the dust of
humiliation, and. in broken words exclaim
ed:
"Father, to he local!"'
Ha! she is not happy ! she craves the
boon of love.
It was not enough that mighty power was
given over her own mind and the minds of
others. .She had made her a world apart
from the world she lived in. She had won
fame, and bevies of'friends; and yet her
woman's heart craved for love.
It was sad to sec the fair young head bow
ed so humbly ; to see that proud heart
humiliated with the thought that the bosom
she had craved so passionately asking that,
and only that, had failed to satisfy her
heart. Again her prayer was granted.
The love of a noble heart was given
her; a princely home, anu the homage of
the multitude. • Will the love she has cov
eted fill her heart ? Will love do more for
the w mian's heart than fame did for the
girl's?
She had a happy home ; sheltered in from
the world's clamor and change—that far-off
world she thought so beautiful. Would
that she could part the thick curtain that
hung between it and her. She did so, and
found that the curtain was of coarse gray
serge ; that tlie beautiful colors it had worn
at a distance had been wrought by her own
brain. She wished then tbat she had not
peered beyond the curtain that had been so
wisely hung between her and the world that
seemed so fair—for she had gained more
light and knowledge than was wise for her.
She found out the fallacy of her early
dreams ; that love and truth were not the
things they seemed ; that happiness was a
myth ; and the "trail of the serpent was
over them all. '
Alas! her heart yet unli'led, her soul yet
unsatisfied.
And now from white, quivering, lips,
new prayer arises. But, this time she
does not knee', but bears it about in her
heart: and, at last, when the want grows
unbearable, the trembling lips, utter, pas
sionately. "Give tne children, O Father !"
A little life fluttered into existence —a
sweet pale blossom of wondrous loveliness.
The blue of the violets were in its eyes, and
the rose flush upon its cheeks. There was
u new delicious feeling in her "heart, and her
soul thrilled to the fouch~of those tiny fin
-gers.
Was the want in her soul tilled ? had the
babe - coming -tilled its longings? Ah!
no; something was wanting —what could it
be ?
There came a night when the breath float
ed out from the babe's lips, and it went to
dwell beyon i the pearly clouds. Then there
came hours of darkness and sorrow —after-
ward there was light !
As the stricken mother gazed on the wee,
waxen Imbo .-he had loved so well, she could
scarcely believe and quiet herself" bCf>re
him who had bereaved her. But, even in
the midst of her anguish, a new revelation
dawned upon her She saw that she had
been blin-lly following her own will, regard-
It -s of his who created her, Every prayer
of her life had been answered, Genius had
been given her. and fame and love ; and
nn re precious than all, the sweet child love
which is surely a fortaste of Heaven.
Once more beneath the stars she knelt to
pray ; not the young girl of fifteen years ago
but i woman weary and worn. The prayer
tbi time, i- not for intellectual endowment;
nor for human love, nor fame, nor the (tat
tering of children's feet: hut. faintly trotu
white lips, come the words :
"Wash me and I will he whiter than
snow ! Let Thy love fill my heart, O Fath
er ! Thy love alone can sati.-fy the sou! !
Take away all vain dreams ; all strivings for
earthly happiness, all yearning for human
love ! Let the prayer of my heart ever be.
Not my will. Father, but thine be done !
Thy will let it be done on earth, as it is in
Heaven, now and forevennore !
"Lord make me what Thou wilt, so Thou
wilt take
What Thou dost make
And not disdain
To house me, though among
Thy coarsest grain.
< ItILIHtEN'S QUESTIONS.
Show us the philosopher that a child cannot
puzzle. We have never seen no such a phe
nomenon. Roll all the wisacres of the world
into one, and a schoolboy's whys and where
fores shall confound the combination. If
when the Admirable Crinchton travelled
though Europe, affixing his challenges to
the gates of colleges, the professors had pit
ted their >ix yer olds against the prodigy,
we warrant they would have propounded
problems beyond his skill to solve. The
truth is, that it is much easier to answer a
learned man than a child. Your philoso
phers understand well enough that there are
matters concerning which all men are equal
ly ignorant itd with commendable tact and
prudence they steer clear of tbeui. But
children aie bold arid persistent querists.—
They are not satisfied with eva-ive replies.
They cross examine with merciless persever
ance, and sometimes drive themoif profound
to the refuge of "I don't, know." But even
that confession —so humiliating to grown up
wisdom —does not always silence the youth
ful searcher after knowledge. He is apt to
think you oUfjiit to know, and to ask why
you don't know. We really like to seta
smart child or; a pedant. It i- astonishing

THE CHOLERA.
It is generally conceded at present, by al
most all of our leading physicians that we
win IXJ visited by Asiatic cholera during the
coming season. At least, every indication
points in that direction. In view of the fact
we-submit the following series of rules, the
obse; vanee of wliieh cannot but prove emi
nently beneficial at anytime;
1. Avoid all causes of excessive nervous
exhaustion: avoid intemperance in eating
and drinking: live upon a nourishing diet,
and keep the digestive functions in a healthy
condition.
2. Avoid and discourage panic and needless
anxiety when the epidemic is announced,
remembering that, in Its premonitory stage,
cholera is generally curable, ani that all the
exciting causes ot the malady can be avoided
.Promptly second the efforts of the public
authorities in all enlightened plans for pro
tecting the public health, especially in all
that relates to civic cleanliness, the abate
ment of nuisances 2nd the proper care and
feeding of the poor.
4. If in business, or charged with any
public or philanthropise duty, do not forsake
your post of personal or official labor, except
when suffering from premonitory symptoms
of cholera or other sickness.
J. Aid and encourage the removal and
prevention of the localizing and exciting
causes of cholera throughout the district in
which you reside.
6. Give particular attention to the drain
age, dryness and cleanliness of your premi
ses and the neighborhood, and see to it that
the water supply is both puie and sufficient.
7. Inculcate habits of personal neatness.
8. Avoid the employment of purgative
drugs, except when prescribed by your
physician.
9. Avoid and prevent effluvia from excre
mentitious matter, sewers, privies and cham
ber vessels. Frequently and thoroughly dis
enfect these sources of fever poison.
10. Insist upon the utmost cleanliness and
purity of every portion of your apartments
furniture and domicils.
11. thoroughly and frequently ventilate
every apartment in the dwelling, even to the
cellar.-, closets and vaults. This should be
aided by fires in open fire places, wherever
available.
12. Carefully protect the body atrainst sud
den alterations of temperature. Wear flan
uel, and when exposed to changeable temper
atures, or suffering any disorder of the bow
els, wear a broad flannel band extending from
the tops of the hips to the middle if the
body.
13. Be prudent in the use of food and 1 lev
erage.-, being particularly attentive to quali
ty and digestibility.
14. Bear in mind the fact that a painless
diarrhoea is the almost invariable precursor
of the cholera, and that if not immediately
and properly treated it will more probably
terminate fatally than favorably.— Exchange.
A RECEIPT PGR HAPPINESS. —It is sim
ple. when you rise in the morning, form a
resolution to make the day a happy one to
a fellow creature. It is eerily done —a left
off garment to the man who needs it : a kind
word to the soirowful ; an encouraging ex
pression to the striving —trifles in them
selves, light as air, —will do it. at least for
twenty four hours; and if you are young
depend upon it. it will tell when you are
old ; and if you are old. test assured it will
-end you gently and happily uown the
stream of tiuie to eternity. Look at the
result ; You send one person —only one
happily through the day ; that is three hun
dred and sixty five in the course of the year
—and supposing you live forty years only
after you commence this course, you have
made fourteen thousand six hundred human
beings happy.at all events for a time. Now
worthy reader, is this not simple ? and is it
not worth accomplishing ? \V edo not often
indulge in a moral dose —but this is so small
a pill, that one needs no red currant jelly to
disguise its flavor, and it requires to be ta
ken but once a day, that we feel warranted
in prescribing it. It is most excellent for
digestion, and a producer of pleasant slum
ber.—London Aths.
THE IVJIE HEART. —The springs of ever
lasting life are within. They are clear
streams gushing up from the depths of the
soul and flow out to enliven the sphere of
outward existence. But like the waters of
Siloah. they'"go swift." You must listen
to catch the silvery tones of the little rill as
it glides from its mountain home: you may
not witness its silent march through the
green vale, but its course will be seen in the
fresh verdure and the opening flowers: its
presence will l>e unknown by the forms of
life and beauty that gather around it It is
ever thus with the pure. You may not hear
the' still small voice," or heed the silent
aspiration, but there is a moral influence and
a holy power which you will feel. The wil
derness is made to smile flowers of new life
and beauty spring up and flourish while an
invisible presence breathes immortal frag
rance through the atmosphere.

HIBERNIAN TOASTS. --Two gallant "sons
of Erin," beiug just discharged from ser
vice, were rejoiceing over the event, when
one who felt all the glory of his own noble
race, suddenly ; used his pot above his head
and said, "Arrah, Mike, here's to the gal
lant old 69th—the last in the field and the
lir.-t to leave it." ' Tut, tut. man," Said
mike ; "ye don't mane that. "Don't
inane it, is it? Then what do I mane?"
'You mane, said Mike, and he raised
hi- class high, and looked lovingly at it,
"Here's to the gallant 69th, equal to none!"
And so they drank.
THE people of' West \ irgiilia have, by a
great majority, voted to disfranchise all reb
els, their sympathisers atid aiders and abet
tors. No limitation has been fixed, so that
it is probable that the curse that was laid
upon the tories of the Revolution will le
fastened upon the traitors through all time.

THERE is a paper at Columbus, Ga.,
which has for some time b< n urging, as the
true policy of the South that co cotton be
planted for several years, until the Yankees
driven by necessity, shall, oil their knee.-,
beg the South to accept all t.teir rights ami
save the Union from bankruptcy. Few if
any planters will be inclined to adopt such
a jx)licy. It was tried early in the war,

THE NEW WOOL CLIP.—The Sandusky
Reguter oi the 26th says : 1 The wool sea
son was inaugurated yesterday by the sale
of two thousand pounds at fifty cents. The
wool was in very fine condirion. Prices arc
ruling from forty to fifty cents. At the con
vention yesterday, buyers manifested little
disposition to settle upon juices for the new
clip cn account of the unsettled condition of
the market."
IN MILFORD. Mass., the children of Ro
man Catholic patents were instructed not to
conform to certain regulations which have
been instituted in all the schools, which reg
ulations consist in singing moral and patri
otic songs and bowing the head during pray
er. The consequence is that a large num
ber of Irish children are out of school, and
have appeared in procession in the streets.
AT the time of the explosion of the nitro
glycerine in the yard of Wells. Fargo k Co
in iSan Francisco, a lad was sitting at his
desk writing, while plastering and timber
fell around, without so much as hurtiug a
hair on his head. The same boy was sitting
on the paddle box of the steamer Yosemite
when she was blown up, on a trip to Sac
ramento, and was blown entirely across the
river, • when he coolly swam back to the
wreck to offer assistance to the less fortunate
passengers.
A soldier who, in going from Baltimore
to Rock Island, had met with four accidents

Sir .James Mackintosh invited Dr. Parr

Not long since there was a dancing party
at. the house of Mr. Scott, near A vena. Law
rence county, Ala. The weather was very
warm in the early party of the evening, but
it had become exceedingly eohl when the
party broke up heated and t'atigu <l. The
company went home; two of them died the
next morning, and seven have since died.
Others are seriously ill, and none of' the
participants in the affair are well.
HOPE—Hope is the sweetest friend that
ever kept a distressed friend company ; it
beguiles the todiousness of the way, all the
miseries of our pilgrimage. It tells the
soul such sweet stories of the succeeding
joys ; what comfort there is in heaven, what
peace, what joy, w hat triumphs, what mar
riage songs and hallelujahs there arc in that
country whither she is travelling, that she
goes merrily away with her present burden.
SEEKING F OH TRUTH.—'The labors to try
man's soul and ex dt it. are the search lor
truth beneath the mysteries which surround
creation, to gather amaranths, shining with
the hues of heaven, from plains upon which
hang, dark an i heavy, the mists of earth.
B©J3ir Walter Scott, in lending a book
one day to a friend, cautioned him to be
punctual in returning it. "This is really
necessary," said the poet in apology ; "for
though many of my friends are bud arith

good book-keepers.
Surgeon, who was bald, was on a
visit to a friend's house, whose servant wore
a wig. After bantering hint a considerable
time, the doctor said : "You see how bald
I am, and yet 1 don't wear a wig." "True,
sir," replied the servant : "but an empty
barn requires no thatch.
IMMENSE IMMIGRATION,—A gentleman
just from Sioux City states that between
that place and lowa Falls he met over five
hundred teams with immigrants, all bound
for the West, some to Daootah. some to the
Sioux City region, and others for the fertile
valleys of the Des Moines and other streams
this side of the Big Muddy. The rush west -
ward this spring has never been exceeded
even in the nushest of the flush times.
An odd bit of dialogue occurs in a novel
now publishing in a French paper.
"Where is your husband.'" asks a gentle
man.

"Has he been gone long?

"He is quite right, remark thl gentle
man, philosophically: "he wants to choose
