"Over the river," I'm gazing to-night, Gazing while silently weeping, Thinking of spirits now happy in light Whose be dies are quietly sleeping, And they secrn, as I think of their happy abode, In the fair and the blissful forever, To say "wc are waiting for thee in our home," On its borders, "just over the river." "Just over the river," a father now dwells, A father I lovingly cherish, Whose name on my heart is so deeply engraved That its memory never can perish. And 1 often look upward in prayer to the throne Of the great and bountiful giver, And pray I may meet, that dear father again In its mansion "just over the river." "Over the liver," how many can look, Fondly and wishfully sighing, Thinking of moments now lost in the past, Honing, and memory vicing : Thinking in sadness of friends they have lost, Gone to the blissful forever, Sighing to meet them on yonder bright shore, That rises just "over the river." IMPERISHABLE. The pure the bright the beautiful. That stirred our hearts iu youth. The impulse to a wordless prayer, The dreams of love and truth ; The longings after something lost, The spirit's yearning cry : The strivings after better hopes— These things can never die. The timid hand stretched forth to aid A brother in his need. The kindly word in grief's dartt hour That proves the friend indeed : The plea of mercy softly breathed, When justice threatened high : The sorrow of a contrite heart— These things shall never die. The memory of a clasping band, The pressure of a kiss, And all the tritles, sweet or frail. That make up love's first bliss, If with a firm unchanging faith And holy trust and high. ThoSe hands have clasped those lips have met— These things shall never die. The cruel and the bitter word That wounded as H fell . The chilling want of sympathy, We feci, hut never tetl ; The hard repulse that chills the heart, Whose hopes were bounding high, In an unfading record kept— These things will never die Let nothing pass, for every hand Must find some work to do ; Lose not a chance to waken love ; Be firm and just and true. So shall a light that cannot "fade Beam on thee from on high, \ffil angel voices say to thee. These things shall never die. " NASBV. lie Preaches from the Parable of "The Proiligal Son"—An Interrupiion. CoNFEDERIT X ROADS, (uvt/l > is in the Stait uv Kentucky) July 6, '">6. ) I preached last Sabbath, or rather tried to, from the parable uv the Prodigal Son. We had a splendid congrogashun. I notice a revival uv the work in this part, uv the Democratic vineyard wich reely cheers me. The demons trash nn our friends made in Memphis, the canin uv Grriunel by Rosso, and the call for a convenshun in Philadel phia, all, all hev conspired to comfort the souls uv the Dimocrisy and encourage me to renued effort. It is bringing forth fruit. Only one day last week five Northern men were sent whirlin out of this section—they dusted in the night to escape hangiu, leavin their goods as a prey lor the righteous rix ncgros hev been killed and one Burow offi cer shot. Trooly there is everything to encourage us. The house wuz full. The weather wuz hot. and the pleasant incense uv mingled whiskey, tobacco and snuff wich ariz wuz grateful to me. The sun shone in on Dee kin Pogrom's face ez he gently slept, and when the sun hits him square I kin alluz tell where he sets, cveucf it is dark. lie drinks apple-jack instead uv corn whiskey, and chaws fine cut tobacker uv plug and consekently when in the pulpit I kin distinguish the pecoolar aroma uv nisbreath from those around him. "My brethren," sed I, sich uv yoo ez hev Bibles in your houses, kin get somebody to read to yoo the parable to wich I shall call yoor attention. A man wunst upon a time bed sons, ez meny men hez since, and oue uv em wuz a tough one. lie left his home and went into iar countries, making the old man shel out his share uv the es tate, and be high, jist, my brethren, ezyoor boys do or did when they went too Noo Orleans, in the days when you bed a nieger or two wich yoo cood sell to supply them with money. He played draw poker and faro, he drauk fancy drinks and boarded at big hotels, and be followed after strange women, wich wood bust a man quicker nor any one small sin the devil hez vet invented, ez yoor passions kin testify. I v course his pile giv out, and he got down, my friends, did tnis ingenious youth, to rags and wretch edness, and ended in beiu an overseer uv kmc. What did he do ? lie ariz and went to his father, and the old man saw him afar off and went out to meet him, and fell on bis neck, and give him an order for a soot uv clothes, and a pair uv boots, and put a ring onto his finger, and made a feast, killiri for the purpose the fatted calf wich he had sa ved for another occasion. My friends you kin find in the skripter suthin applicable to every occasion, and this parable fits the present time like a ready made coat. The South is the prodigal son. We went out from our father's house on an cxpidition wich hczent proved altogether a success. We spent our share uv the estate, and a little more. We run through with our means, aud bcv cum down to rags, and dirt and filth, and hunger. We an', and hcv lin some time, a chawin husks. We run out after thorn twin harlots, Slavery and State Rights, aud the've cleaned us out. Our pockets arc cinnty. No more does the pleasant half dollers jingle in sweet unison agin its fellers ! Our wallets is barren Uv postal currency, and the gro.-ery keepers mourn and refuse to be comforted becoz we we are not. We hev got to the husk stage uv our woe, and wood be tcudin hogs et the armies wich past through these countries hed left us eny. We bev cum back. In A LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWSPAPER, DEVOTED TO POLITICS, EDUCATION, LITERATURE AND MORALS. rags and dirt we have wended our wav to Washington, and ask to be taken back. Now why don't our father, the Government, ful fil the skripter ? Why don't it 'see us afar off, aud run to meet us? Why don't it put onto us the purple robe ? W hei e's the ring for our finder, and the shoes for our feet ? and where & the fatted calf he ought to kill? My brethren, them Abolishnists is worse than iufiddles—while they preach the gospel they won't practice it. For my part, —1" At this point a sargent belongin to that infernal Burow, who wuz in the awdience with enough uv soldiers to make opposin him unpleasant, scd he hed been a sort of exhortcr in his day, and desired to say a word in explanation uv that parable, ez applicable to the present time, and. sez he, "ef lam interrupted, remember I belong to the church military, wich is, just now the church triumphant."—And, cochin his musket he proceeded very much uninter rupted. ' The Prodigal Son, "' sed lie,-' wuz re ceived by the old man with considerable doins, but my worthy friends he went out decently. lie didn't ez soon ez he with drawed from the house, turn around and make war unto the old gentleman—he didn't burn his houses and barns, tearup his garden, burn his fences and knock down the balance of the children. Not any. He went away peaceably, a misguided, good-for nothing. Secondly he come back uv his owuakkord. The old man didn't go after him and fight for four years at a cost uv haff his substance to subdue him and bring him back, but when he run through his pile and squandered his share of the estate and got hungry, he came back like a whip ped dog. My friends, let m draw a small parallel between these cases. The Prodigal Son went out —o did the South—thus furly the eases are alike. The Prodigal didu't steal nothin. The Confederacy took everything it cood lay its hands on. The Prodigal spent only what wuz his to spend. The Oonfedercy spent not only al 1 it stole, but all it could borrcr, when it knowed its, promises to pay wuzent wurth the mizrabic paper they wuz printed onto. The Prodigal, when ho did come back, come ez penitent ezthe conshusness that he had made a fool of hrsself could make him. The Confederacy wuz whipped back, but it still swears holy oaths that it wuz right all the time. The Prodigal dido t demand veal pot-pie and purple robes and sich, hut begged to be a servant unto the more sensible brethren wich stayed. The South comes back dc mandm offis, uv wich the fatted call and rings is typical, and considerably more share in the Government than it hed it kicked over the traces, and went out like the lost tribes of Tsrael. Spozen the Bible Prodigal had stopped his parient and remarked to him thus : "I am wiliin to come back on conditions.- Vou uiast pay my debts —you must give 111 c an ekal share uv the farm with the other hoys —you must treat mo in all respects just ez il I hadn't gone out, and —this is essential —you must take with me all the sharpers who ruined me, all the gamblers and thieves with whom 1 fell in while I wuz away, and make them head men on the place, and above all, I hev with me the two harlot ; wich wuz the prime cause uv my ruin, and they must hev 11 of the best rooms in the house, and must !><•. treated ez your daugh ters. To avoid di.-plcadu he others 1 11 dress cm in different clothes, but here they rnu-t stay —Otherwise I'll go out again. Probably the old gentleman wood hev bc c nil indignant, and wood hev remarked to him logo and never let him &ee his auda cious face agin, or rather, he would hev strangled the harlots, scattered the black legs, and chocked the young sprout into submission. Them s me. lam anxious to kill that fatted calf, and 1 am als<> anxious to put on your robes and shoes. But, alas! the calf suffered from want uv attention so long doorin the late misunderstandins that he's too poor. —the robes was all cut up in to bloo kotes for the sojers wc sent out to fetch yoo in—the shoes they wore out, and the ling#—Jefferson Davis wore the only style we hev. \\ lien yoo- c nic hack in good shape yoolfind us rca.,., r-.-o meat yoo, but till then chaw husks. Lookin around, this armed tyrant remark ed that there would be no more preachin that day, and sadly the congregation disper sed. I'm heart sick. At every turn 1 make that Burow stares mc in the face and coun teracts my best endeavors, it is curious, though what different sermons kin be preach id from the same 'ext. and it is all curious how quiet our folks listen to a Ab lishnist who hcz muskets to hack him. PETROLEUM V. NASBY. La it Pastor uv the Church uv the Noo ! Dispensasliun. .<B—■ IS REBELLION CRUSHED. The radical and rebellions press of the South, representing (he elements of the same character among the politicians, prows more and more rampant, in proportion to the aid and comfort that is received by them from other quarters. The following from the Richmond Enquirer is about a fair sam ple of the spirit and utterances ofthat paper and its coadjutors. We give its own italics: "The revolutionary violence of the radi- \ cals will be resisted to Mood, if need be; and i to that extremity, the struggle seems likely to proceed, unless one party or the other shall iriumph at the polls not simply by a j majority but. by an ocertrhttminf/ majority. No equivocal or even result, no faiutivictory will avail to maintain the peace; only such a triumph as shall cover all cavils, and over whelm the hopes of tly defeated," It strike-us thai tlii.- was their .-iylo of speech before the election of Mr. Lincoln in 1800. Something of the same strain of electioneering was adopted, when it was said a hundred times over, that the election of Mr. Lincoln would be a sufficient cause for breaking up the Union, or for attempting it by force of arms. It semis, too. that they have raised the terms on which peace is to be maintained", by making a new and extraordinary rule for the determining of elections. Majorities will not answer their modest purposes, but overwhelming majorities are demanded. Who is to be the judge whether majorities are overwhelming or not. But the new rule of elections proposed by these nen, ela ted and intoxicated with their new born iiopes must not be overwhelming, but must "cover ail cavils" of the defeated. This is the sort of temper, and those the views that went into the Philadelphia Convention from the States lately-in rebell ion. It is easy to see what kind of recon struction policy this spirit will dictate, and it is equally plain what would be the effects of such a policy on the peace, liberty and prosperity of the country. Hie babbling madness of the Enquirer an 1 its class lot out ! terrible secrets of the brewing policy. "Wake up here and pay your lodgings, said the deacon, as ho nudged a sleepy stranger with the contrib utioabox. BEDFORD. Pa., FRIDAY, AUGUST <44, 1866. TAKE YOUR CHOICE. The following is an cxtiuct from Presi dent Johnson's last veto (of the Freedmen's Bureau bill), showing what he says to Con gress for political effect: "The ordinary course of judicial proceed ings is no inturrupted. The courts, both state and Federal, are now in full com plete and successful operation and through them every person, regardless of race or color, is entitled to snd can be hoard." The following is the President's latest military order issued by Gen. Grant, show ing what the President doe*, not for political effect: — "Department, District, and Post Com manders in States htely in rebellion, are hereby directed to arrest all persons who have been or may hereafter be charged with commission of crimes and offences against citizens, and inhabitants of the United States irrespective of color, in cases where the civil authorities have failed, neglected,or been unable to arrest and bring such parties to trial and to detain them in military con finement until such time as a proper judicial tribunal may be ready and willing to try them. A strict and prompt enforcement of this order will be approved." As John-Minor B otts says, we can all he Johnson men iu tins matter. Those of us who do not agree vitli what he says are in favor of what he dots and trice versa. It's a poor stick that can't be suited with either of these two extracts. Indeed, where there is so good an opportunity to make a choice, nobody but a tew discontented fellows are dissatisfied, and these uneasy chaps propose to get together by themselves, at Philadel phia, and split the difference between his do and his say.—Detroit Dost. THE New York Evening Post, a paper lately inclined toward Johnsonism, thus con victs oi inconsistency the wretched man at tlic head of affairs at Washington : In the first place, according to Mr. John son's theory. Louisiana is a State of the Union ; <chy then, does he interfere with the internal affairs of Louisiana ? A conven tion was to be held in Louisiana ; this con vention was either a legitimate or an illegiti mate body. In the first instance it had a right to sit: in the second, it was an illegal body, whose acts would be void and of no force, and whose members would be subject to arrest, if it all, under the State laws by the State officers of justice. A- they num bered only 26, their arrest, whenever their acts made them liable, could not have been difficult by the great State of Louisiana. We do not see on what plea the President had a right to interfere, or what business he had to issue any order in the matter. Next, wc find this order addressed not to the Governor of the State, but to Attorney General. Why is this? Does the President supercede the Governor. But, after all, it is not the Governor, nor the Attorney General, nor any State officer, but a local city officer, the Mayor of New Orleans—as it happens, a flagrant and defi ant Rebel, who seems to think that the Presidential oardon in his pocket not only condones his crime, but justifies it—it is this person who takes the matter in hand of ar resting the convention. Under his skillful management a considerable percentage of the members were assassinated boforc they were arrested. We do not see how all this can be explain ed ; we trtist the President, by publishing the whole correspondence, of which we have now only his order, will be able not only to justify the manner of his interference, but the act of interference itself. For the pres ent we can only say that his order appears to have had as unfortunate an effect as his 22d of February speech; instead of comforting and protecting the law abiding and loyal cit izens, it seems to have encouraged a bloody minded and vindictive mob oi' men lately engaged in rebellion; instead of "suppress ing all illegal or unlawful assemblies," in the words of the order, the effect seems to have been to give full rein to a most lawless and law-defying mob, and to secure complete immunity from punishment to the rioters. Who made the President the judge of the legality of a State Convention ? W hen did he hear evidence upon the matter? Where does he get his authority for interfering ? By the Constitution, "the United States shall protect each State against invasion, and on application of the Legislature, or of the Executive {when the Legislature cannot he convened), against domestic violence.' Where was the "invasion?" where the "do mestic violence ?" where the application of the Legislature, or of the Executive? Where was even the danger to the public peace ? A convention numbering 26 men met in a hall in New Orleans. Was it fear ed by the murderous mob or by Mayor Mon roe that these 26 would rise and put the whole order of Thugs to the sword ? Suppose the convention was illegal: sup pose it had passed an ordinance, no matter to what intent —what then ? Its orders could have had no effect. If there had been a doubt upon their legality, they ought to have been taken before the State Courts, whose province itisto decide such questions. If civil government is restored in Louisiana, according to the Peace Proclamation, if Lou isiana is a State, with a eoustitutiou, laws, officers, courts and judges, then all such matters must be settled and decided in the . State, by I he Stateofficers, and by the courts, not by a mob. THE WAY OF THE WORLD. There goes a virtuous and honest man. Who oauo; ? looLc at klai, ui cities a fig hoM he looks or (Losses. Here passes a man of wealth. The old ladies run to the window. "Who? —where —how does he dress?" He is a great ob ject of attraction. "How in the world did lie make so much ?" "He doesn't lock as if he was worth a half-penny." This is the way of the world. Everybody gazes with admiration upon tlio rich, while : they turn away from virtuous poverty. Let | a man tr ake ten thousand dollars, amUie is I a gentleman, every inch of him. Every - i body has a kind word and a smile for him. Be poor and honest and no one knows you. Men and women have heard of such I a name as yours, you may live at their el i bow. but tney are not certain about it. ! Possess a fortune and live at. tin- nivlepost, ! and your neighbors and friends will line the i heart of he city. All would know where you live, and point a stranger to the very i door. We repeat it —such is the world. Golden . vice is (guessed, while humble virtue is unobserved. Will tho time never, never come when men shall be honored for their virtue' and des pised for their vices, rather than he caressed for their riches and condemned for their provcrty? Everybody, in words, censures the idea of honoring the rich and yet such are the regulations of society that everybody does humble his manners and feelings in the presence of the "upper ten thousand.'' As long as the ladies will associate with the voluptuous rich, and shun the virtuous poor so long will vice he considered no disgrace, and wealth will pay for tho sacrifice of vir tue. THE WORK OF CONGRESS. As the Democratic organs throughout the country are laboring to create the impression that some vast work of mischief was wrought by Congress at its late session, we wish to fort on record in brief what it really did, This Republican Congress reduced tho domestic taxes to the extent of seventy five millions of dollars per annum. It provided for the gradual reduction of the great volume of paper currency, at a certain fixed rate, so that financiers and business men might know how to calculate the future and he reliev ed of all danger of a commercial crash, on account of the contr ac tion of the currency. It provided for the protection of the reve nue from foreign imports, by more stringent enactments to guard against systematic undervaluation, through which the Treasury ha ■ been defrauded of countless millions of dollars. Tt secured equality before the law to all citizens of the United States, of every race and color, under the protection of the na tional government and made every native born adult a national eitizcD. It furnished ample protection for the freedmen against their late masters and their associates in theenjoymentofall their rights. It secured a homestead to ail settlers on the public lands in the gulfSiates under the national laws and so provided for the poor whites and blacks of the south a future of their own better than any they could have otherwise hoped for. It reduced the number of Supreme Court judges by gradual process. It secured the election of United States Senators against the future action of factious minorities. It admitted the reconstructed State of Tennessee under circumstances which point out the way in which other reconstructed States may return to their old places in Con gress. It restricted the standing army to not more than fifty thousand men, against the urgent appeals of all who wanted a force of one hundred and seventy seven thou 1 and. Doubtlcs it has done some things which might judiciously have born ! t alone, for all Congresses do that; but for what is stated above it deserves and will receive the thank? of all right mia led men. —North .Lm< 1,1. . .jz - IIOW THE MONEYS ARE RAISED. During the political campaign last year, President Johnson bee am sensitively con scientious. He had such scruples again i asses-Jog office holders ft r partisan pur; 0- ses, that he caused orders to be issued for bidding the practice. He did not do this on the comparatively low ground that the incumbents needed all their salaries, but on the high ground of vindicating the purity of elections. Some innocent people, uc killed in penetrating the glos-es by which base purposes are covered up, gave hi at credit for marvellous uprightness. Old stagers shook their heads, affirming the oriW was simply evidence of hostility t > the Repub lican party, and that within a few month he would throw off all dLgui.-o and act his part boldly. Of late many in .I:vidua]* have curiously inquired where all tl moneys camo from, which the Administration and its support ers have used in starting newspapers, cir culating documents, supporting politic d • eg gars, and buying up ad venturers. These inquiries are pertinent, and shall ho answer ed. 1. The President ha- hanged his mind about assessing office h >ldo: He is not as conscientious a.- he was. He is not as hypo critical. He makes them pay up to upport "My Policy" and make war on the Republi cans. 2. He is levying a tax for political pur poses on all persons owning estates of the value of $5b),000 and upw. ids, to whom he grant* pardon , We do not speak unad visedly. We have the very ! • r authority for saying that $ 12b is expected from every man to whom a pardon is granted; and have reasons for bclieveing the sums so raised are devoted to the purpose- of the Johnson or ganization. Now, it so happens that a large propor tion of the men pardoned so far were at bot tom from the start. Union men. When the Confederacy got ou its legs, they went along to save their fortunes. As events turned out they forfeited them to the old govern ment. The President hands them baek their properties, with hi - pardon, hut asses ses them $125 each to help run his party machine, and help put the rebels back into power. ffittsburf/ Gu~> tie. BEWARE OK POISONED PAPER. —The plavuc of flies is hard to endure, yet people should be careful lest, in adopting aomedics for the evil, they fall into more fatal mistake of killing their little children. There is a kiifd of paper sold throughout the city at present which seems to be very efficacious in destroying the flies, hut which isextremr !y dangerous, being composed of material poisonous to human beings. Children have a habit of chewing everything they can lay their hands on, and if this fiy-calhcr finds its way into a child's mouth, the effect is as bad as cholera. Yesterday a little girl nam ed Mailer, living in Larrabec street, was discovered with a piece of fly-paper in her mouth, and in a fow minutes she was seized with a severe illness, from which it was feared she would never recover. A Physi cian was promptly summoned, and by the aid of powerful restoratives, the little one was rescued from her danger. Families should take earc not to leave the poisonous material within the reach of their little ones. Chicago Tribune. ADVANTAGES OK ADVERTISING. —The Bellows Falls Times, says a thrifty farmer called into the editor's sanctum, the other day, and wanted to know who was the most liberal advertiser—who advertised the most, lie had some hading to do, and the most liberal advertiser was going to have the largest share' of his custom People will generally trade where they can do so to the best advantage, regarding both price and quality—but the fact that one advertises in the newspapers largely indicates a disposi tion to he liberal with the community gener ally. He who do'-en't tare much to make the bysiuess acquaintance of the people, never advertises in his county papers.

The Baltimore American, in reviewing a new work, called The Student's Scripture History of the Old Testament," thus refers to the Jews as a people: "A more wonderful nation tkm the Jews lias never walked on the earth. Their history has been a constantly unfoldiog miracle. Curiously enough, for more than twenty centuries they have been a people without a country. They have been by turns, slave and ruler, prophet, priest and king, outcast often but beggar never, in every quarter of the globe but this. Question the Jew of his descent, and he would declare that the best blood of all the Howards would run muddy in bis veins, and laugh to scorn the boastful claimant of Norman ancestry. His fathers created thrones and sat upon fc.hetn more than a thousand years before England ceased to he a wolf's den.

And still greater events await this mysterious people. Christ declared that "the Jews shall be led away captive into all nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles until the time of the Gentiles be fulfilled." fr J'- The Reading Dispatch says: A gen tleman who lives in the vicinity of Mr. Cly mer's residence up town, relates the follow ing incident which, although a private affair, goes far to show the love he entertained for the soldier during the war: In 18C1 while the militia was lying at Hawk's Bold, beyond his residence, it happened one day that two tidier - entered the yaid of Senator Clymer's house for the purpose of procuring water, when that honorable immediately gave them orders to leave his premises before they bad received the desired element to queueh their burning thirst. When we remember all the rebuffs we have seen and heard given to sol dier" in the sunny South our mind fails to bit upon one which would seem to bear the same bitter malice towards the soldiers of the Government, the men who perilied their lives in their country's service, that such men as Clymer and his Copperhead kin might stay at home and revel in the sweetest and mo t bountiful luxuries. Soldiers, can you vote for such a man a, this? We feel authorized to say no. never. MAN'S DI I TO WOMAN. —Let him learn to be grateful to women for this undoubted achievement of her sex that it is she —she far n. > e he, and she too often in despite of him —who has kept mercy and truth from being utterly overborne by those greedy monsters, money and war. Let him be grateful for this that almost, every great soul that has led for ward or lifted up the race has been furnished for each nobler deed, and inspired with each patriotic and holy aspiration, by the retiring fortitude of some Spartan ; some Christian mother. Moses the deliverer of hisVeople drawn out of the Nile by the King's daugh ter, some one has hinted, is only a symbol of the way that women's better instincts always outwit the tyrannical diplomacy of man. Let him cheerfully remember, that though the incwy sex achieves enterprise on public tbe r.t es, it is the nerve and sensibility of the ■ h v that arm the mind and inflame the soul in secret. Everywhere a man executes the performance, but woman trains the man. The London Spectator says that a firm in Manchester bound themselves by a trust deed to divide their profits over fifteen per eent. on the capital invested among their workmen. The first result was a de crease in waste, the men Dot seeing why they -hou'd waste their own property any more than any other master's; and waste is, perhaps, as bad debts, the greatest source of manufacturing loss. The next was an immense advance in the pace of the work done, the men putting their hearts into it as hired men will no_t_ do. and scolding each other for neglect as if each man was overseer. The last was a great increase of orders, eve ry man being as anxious to obtain work, or. as he himself expressed it, to "carry some .'un 10 bonus," as if he had been the sole master. The result was at first dividend at the rate of fifteen per cent, per annum, and four or five per eent over for divisions among the men. PfAIS TlU'Tff. Somoono who ooomi! !• understand the subject, describes the tion of "young gentlemen and ladios," of the would-be fashionable sort, which tends only to weakness and fashionable decay, as follows: "A young gentleman—a smooth faced stripling—with little breeding and le.-s sense ripens fast, and believes himself a ni< e young man. He chews and smokes tobacco, swears genteely, coaxes embryo imperials with bear's grease, twijjs a rattan, spends his father's money, rides fast horses —on horseback and in sulkeys— double and single —drinks Catawba, curses the Maine law and flirts with young ladies, hundreds of which arc just like himself, though of a different gender ; and this is the most fashionable education of the day.

Mr. Editor In that rare collection of good things, the first volume of Sargeant's "Gem Series," entitled "The Emerald," I find the following poem by Leigh Hunt : Jenny kissed tne when we met, Jumping from the chair she sat in ; Time, you thief! who lore to get Sweets into your list, put that in ! Say I'm weary, say I'm sad : Say that health and wealth have missed me; Say I'm growing old ; bat add Jenny kissed me ! I quote the above lines because since death has removed the Jenny referred to, it will be no breach of'good manners to sav that she was Jane Welsh Carlyle, wife of Thomas Car lyle, the celebrated author. The occasion on which this celebrated kiss was given was ti tllA tniAllt. gence that the British government had giv en a life pension to her husband. Mrs. Carlyle at once impulsively jumped up and kissel the venerable bearer of the good news. V. V. —Anti- Sla.

A few weeks after the young man came to the good man. boiling over with rage, (his wife was a regular vixen.) "I thought you told mo that I was at the end of my troubles."' "So I did, friend, but I did not say which end." "SIR," ."di an old Scotch woman to her minister, "I dinna ken a part of your ser •mon yesterday. " "Indeed! what was it?'" "You said the Apostle used the figure oj circumlocution , and I dinna ken what it means." "Is that ail;' It's very plain. The figure of circumlocution is merely a periphrastic mode of diction."
