The stream is calmest when it nears the tide, And flowers the sweetest at the eventido, And birds most musical at close of day, And saints divinest when they pass away. Morning is lovely, hut a holier charm Lies folded close in evening's robes of balm: And weary man must ever love her best, For Morning calls to toil, but Night to rest. She comes from Heaven, and on her wirgs doth bear A holy fragrance, like tho breath of prayer; Footsteps of angels follow in her trace, To shut the weary eye of Day in peace. All inmgs are nusnea Ooro.o be- .-ho throw.. O'or earth and sky her man Jo of repose; There is a calm, a beauty and a power That Morningknowsnot,inthe Evening hour. Until the Evening, we must weep and toil. Plow life's stern furrow, dig the weedy soil, Tread with sad feet our rough and thorny way And bear the heat and burden of the Day. Oh ! when our sun is setting, may we glide, Lise Summer Evening down the golden tide : And leave behind us as we pass away Sweet, starry twilight 'round our sleeping clay. LONELY. Sitting lonely, ever lonely, Waiting, waiting for one only, Thus I count the weary moments passing by ; And the heavy evening gloom Gathers slowly in the room, And tho chill November darkness dims tbo iky. Now the countless busy feet Cross each other in the street, And I watch the faces flitting past my door : But tho step that lingered nightly, And the hand that tapped so lightly, And the face that beamed so brightly, Comes no more. l!y the firelight's fitful gleaming 1 am dreaming ever dreaming, And the rain is slowly falling all around: And the voic< that arc nearest, Of friends the best and deaiest, Appear to have a strange and distant sound. Now the weary wind is sighing, And the murky day is dying, And the withered leaves lie scattcr'd round my door: But that voice whose gentle greeting Sot this heart so wildly heating At each fond and frequent meeting.

CONFEDF.RIT X RoADK ) (which is in the State uv Kentucky), October 24, 1800. j Dreams is only vouchsafed to persons uv a imaginative and speritool nacher, uv whom lam which. Ther aint anytliing gross or about me that I know uv. T'roo I whikcy, wich make tno entirely too e the rial for this'grov elin world. I eat pork to re-train my exu berant imaginashun and enable me to come down to the dry detail uv ofiLh'l life—to fit me for the proper discharge uv duties ez postmaster. Whiskey lift me above the BOMshna—pork brings me back agin._ Its fat and greasy like the pay and perquisites uv the postmaster—it comes from the nasty senseless and unclean of animal like our cuinmishuns—in short I recommend all uv Johnson's Postmasters to eat pork. Its their natural diet. Last nito I partook uv a pound or so too much, and as a c insekence, didn't sleep well. While 1 wu7. eatin [moistenin my lips with L >uisville consolation, the while], I wuz mu-in onto Seward's question whether they would have Johnson President or King, and while musin I fell in 2 the arms of Morfus. My mind bu-t 100-e-fiom the body and sored. Ez T sank to .lumber the narrow room wich is at wunst my offi.s and doniitory, widened and enlarged, the humble chairs became suddenly upholstered in gorgis style, the tall r dip became multiplied in to thoosands uv gorgue chandilcer-. the portraits uv his Highness the President, and the otherDem ocrit- on the wall became alive. I compre h< tided the situation to wunst. Androo Johnson had cut the Gorgan knot with -omebody's sword, and bed carried out his Policy to its natural conclusion. Ife wuz King and wuz reignin under the title uv Androo the li and T wuz (in my dream uv course,) in his kinglv halls. ft wuz, luethawt. a reception nite. Ilis Mightiness wuz a sittin onto a elevated throne covered with red velvet aud studded with diamonds, and pearls, and onyxs and other preciou- stone- —onto his head wuz a crown, and he wuz enveloped into a robe uv black velvet, his nose and the balance of his face glean in out like a flash nv litenin from a thunder cloud. Lyin prostrate at the foot of the throne, doin the offisof a foot ct.'ol, wuz Charles Sumner, wunst Senator, which wuz typikle uv the complete triumph we hed won over our enemies, while doin other menial offices about the walls, wuz Wade, Wilson, Fessendcn, Sherman and others who hod oppo ed the change from a Republic to a Kingdom. They wuz clothed 'man npproprit eostoom, knee breeches, and sich, and presented a pekoolyerly impo-in appearance. Carriages containing the nobility began to arrive, and ez they entered the Grand High Lord Chamberlin uv the Palis, the Markis von-llandrll annonnct em. ' Book de Davis" wuz ejaekelatod and Jefferson entered. "Earl von Toombs," "Sir Joseph E.Johnson," Markis de Rouregard" and so forth. Noticin that the titles I bed heard wuz mostly lacked to Southern men, I asked Giddy Wells, who wuz slandin by, why it wuz thus, and he paid that Northerners wuzn't reely fit for it. We wuz. he said, a low grovlin race and coodent adapt ourselves to the habrts uv nobility. The South wuz shivelrus and cood do it. They wuz given to tournaments and nich —they hed got ac customed to circus clothes and could wear a sword without gettin it awkwardly between the legs. Northern men, sich ez were faith ful, wuz allowed to barsk in the smiles of royalty, hut it wuz in such positions ez soot ed their capacity. He, for instance, hed charge of the royal poultry yard, a position which he believed he filled to the entire sat isfaction uv his beloved and royal master. He hed now four hens a sittin, each on four eggs, and he hoped in the course of two years, cf there wuz no adverse circumstan ces, to hev fresh eggs for the royal table. It wuz a position uv great responsibility and one which weighed upon him, Seward was privy coun-ler, Doolittle wuz steward uv the household, and Thurlow Weed wuz Keeper of the King's revenue, and wuz doin very well indeed. By this time the Company assembled. His Highness wuz in a merry mood and unbended himself. Ther wuz a knot uv the nobility gathered in a corner, and after a earnest interview uv n minnjt. Count Van A FOCAL AND GENERAL NEWSPAPER, DEVOTED TO POLITICS, EDUCATION, LITERATURE AND MORALS. Cowan advanced to the foot uv the throne, and on bended k nee demanded a boon. "What, ray faithful servitor, docs thou most desire? ' said His Highness. "We wood. Your Majesty, have the pris oners of state brot iuto the presence, that we make merry over 'em.'' "It shel be done," sed His Majesty, and forthwith Baron von Steedman. who hed command uv the King's Household Body Guard, was sent for them. In a moment they wuz brot in. They wuz a miserable lookin set. Forney and Wendell Phillips wuz chained together, Fred Douglass and Anna Dickenson. Dick Yates and Governor Morton, Ben, Butler and Carle Shurtz, Kel ley and Covode, while chase wuz tied to Horace Grecly, onto whose back wuz a pla card inscribed, "The last day uv the Trib unes," at which Raymond, who left the ltaJLLoli and declared for the Empire pre cisely the rite time, and wuz now editor uv the Court Journal, laffed immodritiy. Some one exclaimed "Bring in Thad. Ste vens," at which His Majesty turned pale and his knees >mote together, "Don't, don't," sez he, "he's strength cnuff left to wag his tongue. Keep him away ! keep him away !" and he showed ez much lear ez men do in delcrium tremeus when they sec snakes. Metbawt I made inquiries and found that things wuz workin satisfactory. Gen. Grant wuz in exile, and Gen. Sheridan hed been decapitated for rcfoosin to acquiesce in the new arrangement. The country hed been divided iuto dookdoms and earldoms, and sich, over which the nobility rooled with undispootcd authority. The principal men uv the North hed been capchered and sub dued, and wuz a filiin menial positions in the palaces uv the nobility. No Lord or I)ook or Earl considered himself well served onless he hed a half dozen Northern Con gressmen in his house, while the higher grade of nobility wuzen't content with any thing less than Guvemcrs. The indeted ness uv the South to the North hed been adjusted. A decree bed bin ishood to the effect that Northern merchants who shood press a claim agin a Southerner should be beheaded and his goods confiscated. The question uv slavery lied bin settled forever, for the Deniokratie ijee uv wun class torool and wun class to serve wuz fully establish There wuz now three classes uv society, the hereditary nobility, the untitled officials and the people ; the latter, black and white, wuz all serf-, and all attached to the soil. Bizitns.wuz all done by foreigners, the poli cy of the government bein to make the na tive born people purely agricultural peas antry. The nobility desirin to make it easy for em gave em one-sixth uv the produx uv tho soil, reservin the balance for their own uses. My dream didn't continue long enuff for tue to ascertain whether I wuz a nobleman or not, but I am uv the opinion that 1 wuz. for a servant handin me a pin to stick into Gen. Butler to make him roar fur the amoozement uv the company, addressed me ez "'Yoor Grace," from which I inferred that I wuz one of the Lord's spirtooal. Unfortunately at this pint I awoke and a sad awakenin in it wuz. The gorgus halls iitn* * • * \ the role- uv stait and jewels and sieh wuz gone and I wnz inmy offisnop'ToorGraco," but merely a Postmaster in a Kentucky vil liage. Well, that is suthin. Wat better is a nobleman? He don't work, neither do I. He drinks wine, it is troo, but I hev wat soots me better, whisky fresh from the still. Yet my dream may b ■ realized, and if it is. I will endevoor to fill the position with credit. Who knows? PETRoI.EL M V. NASBY, P. M., (which is Postmaster.) A STARTLING DISCOVERY. The New York Tribune professes to give its readers an account of a - moling discovery made by Signor Nessun '' ' - : . -■>. ity at Bologna,—Nessuno, our Jtab a critic tells us, means nobody,— who found among the papyri of Pompeii, which he ha * Leen many years engaged in investigating, a com plete report of a tour taken by Herod the Great immediately after the massacre of the Innocents. Herod, it appears, was aceom pained by his old, wary minister, Servius Vardius, the general who commanded his armies, the captain of his fleet, and a crowd of parasites. The cause of the journey does not appear, but something is said about a monument, —possibly that of Julius Caesar, whtJhippointed Herod governor, although after the assa--iuation of Caesar, Herod im mediately went over to Brutus and Cas.-ius. We copy a portion of tlie Tribune's article on this great discovery:— Herod had his speech prepared before hand, and if Professor Nessuno has transla ted it literally, it must have been really comic in its effect. He is reckoned to have stopped in all at some sixty or a hundred places before he got back to Jerusalem, and at every one of these places he delivered the same speech, the only exception being the one we arc about to mention. It happened that llcrod came a certain large town, whose name i - not as clear in the manuscript as it might he, and after dinner a large crowd came about the caravansary where he was stopping and called for a speech, and he had just begun to peg away at the old cut and-dried affair that had served his turn so far, when be was interrupted by an ill-man nefed fellow who cried out, "How about them babies?" lleroJ immediately grew red in the face, made a grab at his c rown, and was about to hurl it at the saucy fellow, when his wary old adviser, Servius Vardiux, adroitly caught it, and, to put it out of harm's way, clapped it on his own head, llerod was in such a state of rage that for a few minutes he was quite incoherent, but at length he managed to speak. Here we quote Prof. Nessuno's delightfully free and naive rendering as literally as we can into corresponding English ideas. It must lie remembered that Herod was not a Roman by birth, but was a barbarian, and had no advantages of education or of society.until his accidental elevation to the tetrarchy, which will account for a certain rowdy air hisspeecheshave: "You'd better a-k about them babies! If yer knew more about babies in particular, you'd never ask such questions, I reckon. Who,-I Should like to know, has suffered more from babies than 1 hev? Who has put up with more from cm than I hev? J didn't kiil those yer babies; they killed theirselves; aud it' I did kill 'cm, T had to do it, else they nns would have kil led we tins. As for me I hev sounded all the depths of honor and my ambition is grati fied to repletion. I have been everything by turns and nothing long. I began life in a small low way, but honors and dignities climbed onto my brow, and 1 filled first one office, and then another until I had sat in the gubernatorial cheer, and at length be came tetrareli. which fill the cup of ray ambitkm and leaves me satiated with glory. It makes me mad to hear a demoralized aud subsidized mob a hollerin out wherever 1 go: "How about them babie.-! How about them babies!' Let me tell you that them inno cents, as you call'em. wa.-a poor, feeble, insignificant, contemptible hand of fanatics BEDFORD. Pa.. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER Q3. 1866. who was engaged in a gigantic scheme to rend my tetrarcny in pieces and blot out the stars from the imperial banner. They was a utterlly powerless band of infuriated "mad men, and the fact that they was ouly two years old and under, made their crime more heinous and abominable. It was well known that I had forbid playing in the mar ket place, and yet these innocents came into the market place with penny whistles and flags a flying, and with su h defyin airs, that it could not be stood, and their mothers actually had the brass to laugh at 'em and cheer 'em on. Who, my friends, has suff ered more from these babes than I have? sounded all the depths of honor, I have set in the gub— At this moment, continues the manuscript a scene of terrible confusion occurred. The people refused to hear the tetrarch any more i and began to curse him up and down with out ceremony, to jeer him insntvhim in every way. The air was darkened with a shower of sticks and stones, eggs of every degree of stalepess added their perfume to the violet of his imperial robes, while the dead bodies of the smaller animals aud ver min of the district were hurled without ces sation. and with the most unerring aim at his venerable head. One young Jew burled a dead duck at him, another made a missile of a coney, a creature which, though it is expressly stated in the Bible to belong to a feeble folk, proved on this occasion unpleas antly strong. It is not recorded that a tetrarch was ever so abused before. Herod seems to have been utterly unable to defend himself against the storm, and at last gave it up, retreating from the platform amid a whirlwind of jeers, threats, derisive eries and voices that repeated uneessingly "How about the babies!' until the wretched tetrarch was nearly mad with rage and terror. Not long after his return to Jerusa lem—and his friends hustled him back to the capitol without ceremony—he was so weighed upon with remorse and mortifica tion that he is actually said to have held his tongue for a month, whereas he had always been remarkable for the profusencss of his speech, and had never been known to go more than twenty-four hours without talk ing about himself. But the sequel was, that the Innocents were well avenged. MTEKAKY NOTES. A London correspondent of the independ ent gives the following gossip about well known English lady writers : GEORGE F.1.10T. Having an intense desire to see the author of "Adam Bede." 1 drove to the Priory one Sunday hoping that a peep might be vouchsafed me. To my great disappoint ment, however, Mis. Lewes was too feeble to see a stranger. As wo drove home I as serted my Yankee privilege of asking ques tions ; and. as the facts I then learned are no secret. I repeat them here. Mr. Lewes, having forgiven and taken back an unfaithful wife, cannot according to Mnglish law. obtain a divorce, although the wife had twice de serted him. Miss Evans is considered his wife, and called Msr. Lewes l>y their friends, in spire ofeosstn *r<* Owing to her peculiar position, litres seldom gi es into general society or sees strangers, though every one i anxious to meet her, and many ot her warmest friends are among the wise and good. A! whom I saw loved, respected and defended her ; ome upon the plea that, if genius, like charity, covers a multitude of sins in men, why not in wo men ? JEAN INOELOW. Coming at la.-.t to a quiet street, where all the houses were gray with window-boxes full of flowers, we reached Mr.;. Ingelow's. In the drawing room we found the mother of tho poetess, a truly beautiful old lady, in widow's cap and guwn with the sweetest sercnest face I ever saw. Two daughters sat with her, both older than I fancied them to he, but both very attractive woman. Eliza looked as if she wrote the # poetry, Jean the prose—for the former wore curls, had a delicate face, fine eyes, and that indc scril.able something which suggests genius; the latter was plain, rather stout, hair touched with gray, shy, yet cordial manners and a clear, straitforward glance, which I liked so much that I forgave her on the spot for writing those dull stories. Gerald Massey was with them, a dapper little man, with a large, fine head, and very un-English manners. Being oppressed with "themountainous me," he rather bored the company with "my poem-, my plans, and my publishers," till Miss Eliza politely de voted her.-elf to him, leaving my friend to chat with the lovely old lady, aud myself with Jean. Both being bashful, and both laboring under the delusion that it was proper to allude to each other's works, we tried to exchange a few compliments, blush ed, hesitated, laughed, and wisely took ref uge in a safer subject. Jean had been abroad; o we pleasantly compared notes, and I enjoyed the souud of her perculiarly musical voice, in which I seemed to hear the breezy rhythm of some of her charming songs. The ice which surrounds every Eng li.-h man and woman was beginning to melt, when Massey disturbed me to ask what was thought of his books in America. As I really had not the remotest idea, I said so ; whereat he looked blank and fell upon Longfellow, who seems to be the only one ol our poets whom the English kuow or eare much about. The conversation became general, and soon after it was necessary to leave, lest the safety of tlie nation should be endangered by overstepping the fixed limits of a morning call. Later. I learned that Miss Ingelow wa ; extremely conservative, and was very indig nant when a petition for women's rights to ; vote was offered for her signature. A ram pant radical told tne this, and shook her handsome head pathetically over Jean's narrowness but when I heard that once a week several poor souls dined comfortably in the pleasant homo of the poetess, 1 for gave her conservatism, and regretted that an unconquerable aversion to dinner parties made me decline her invitation. WHO IS OU>. —A wise man will never rust out. As long as he can move and breathe, he will do something for himself, for his pos terity. Almost the last hour of his life Wel lington was at work. So were Newton. Bacon, Milton and Franklin. The vigor of their lives never decayed. No rust marred their spirits. It is a foolish idea that \ve must lie down because we are old. Who is old? Not the man of energy: not the day la borer in science, art or benevolence; but he only who suffers his energies to run to waste, and the spring of life to become motionless, on whose hands the hours drag heavily. SEVEUK. — 'Madame, your boy can't pas for half fare, he is too large," said the conn ductor of a slow railway train. "He may be too large now," replied the matron, "but he was small enough when we started." FEMALE clerks and folders are employed is the Dead Letter Office at Washington. What a paradise of enjoyment for curious women! BAGGAGE. "That seat is.occupied," said a bright eyed girl to a man who was about to take it, "Occupied!" he growled; "where's his baggage?" With a saucy upward look at him, "I'm his baggage," she said. And this brings me to say that if you are going a long journey in the region where it is "first come, first served," the most desirable piece of baggage you can take with you is not a hat box or a blanket, but a woman. If you have none, then marry one. for you are not thoroughly equipped lor the road till you do. When dinner is ready you follow in her blessed wake, and are snugly seated be side her, and exactly opposite the platter of chickens, before the hirsute crowd, woman less as Adam was till he fell into a deep sleep, are let in at all. There you are, and there they are. You twam-onc, With ihv tiro brat okftira .u tka house, stiffed aM smiled on. Look down tho table at the unhappy fellows, some of them actually bottoming the chairs they occupy, and arms and hands reaching across the talie in every direction like the tenta culm of a gigantic polypus. When night comes, and with it a border tavern, it is not you that shift uneasily from side to side on the bar room floor. If there is any best bed she gets it and you share it. You follow her into the best car; she first in tho stage coach aud you are too. More than that, a woman keeps you "upon your honor;" you are pretty sure to behave yourself all the way. The conclusion is as 6trong as a lariat, that travelling bachelors have forgotten some of their baggage, and that if a woman hears a man sneer about her troublesome sex and their inevitable, in eparable bandbox, and then in some weak moment he says to her, "Will you?" and she be wise, she will he cautious. Men are not a tithe of the help to women on a journey that the latter in their modesty and their ignorance—we beg pardon, which?—are always conceding. Blessed be nothing. A lone woman can make the transit of the American continent, like Venus crossing the sun, without either danger or in-ult. She can emulate the Irish Xorah, who, in some fabulous time, decked with jewels and beauty, made tlie tour of Ireland alone, and not a soul harmed her as she went: "Rich and rare were the jewels she wore, And a bright gold ring ou her wand she bore, But, ah, her beauty was far beyond Her sparkling gems and her show white wand. On she went, and her maiden In safety lighted her round 'the green Isle.'' —B. F. TAYLOR. IDLE SONS OF WEALTHY PARENTS. Vb e cut from our exchanges a short para graph stating that the wealthy parents of two young men of Now York, who were tired out by seeing their boys do nothing, started them in business with a capital of $20,00 1 ; and this paragraph further states that in two weeks they had squandered all their capital and a few hundredsover. There is a good deal in this story, so briefly and so jauntily told, that is worthy of earnest re flection on the part of the aforesaid parents V'f O. IT .. O 1 T. 3 C inn nll I*J-. iLoro vi niICIA OWO It is, unfortunately, getting to be too much the custom among men in this country, who have made or inherited fortunes, to cherish and en ura the natural desire ou the part of their sons t.sp-. nd in a sort of luxurious idleues the days tha : . should be devoted to learn some useful business, trade or profes sion, nut ouly for the purpose of earning means to defray the expenses of life, but through which they could be enabled to con tribute their share to the production, work and v a Ith of the country. Such occurren <• -t at notedab- ve are to some extent public a.- well as private matters, because wh r er voting men are brought up to lives of idleness there i-- so much abstracted from the common stock of wealth by the loss of that which they would have otherwise crea ted. and because such idle lives are nearly al ways sure to lead to vice and demoralization of various kinds. Even overlooking the evil influences of such matters upon society at large, and regarding them solely in a money point of view, how much cheaper would it have been to the lathers of these young men to have spent a few thousand dollars of the twenty thousand squandered in two weeks in having them so taught and trained that money would have been sate in their hands, -o as : > make both it and them selves useful to their fellow men. In these days, when - > many men are becoming sud denly rich, and when there are counter indi cations that so mauyjof their posterity may become suddenly poor, there is greater cause than ever for impressing upon the minds of parents the dangers of allowing their sons to grow up with habits of idleness, and without knowledge of any useful callings by which they may be able to earn livings for them selves. l'h ila.

At Carlisle, Pa., recently, the Presbyte rian feynods of the Old and New Schools being in session at the same place, the two bodies met in communion with great har mony. Key. Dr. Guriey, pastor of the church in Washington, which President Lincoln usually attended, in a speech at the table, gave the folWPdbg narrative which has never before been made public : "When summoned on that sad night to the death bed of President Lincoln, I en tered the room fifteen or twenty minutes be fore his departure. All present were gath ered anxiously around him, waiting to catch his last breath. The physician, with one hand upon the pulse of the dying man, and the other laid upon his heart, was intently watching for the moment when life should He lingered longer than we iiaG expected. At last the physician said: "He is gone: he is dead. Then I solemnly believe that for four or five minutes there was not the slightest noise or movement in that awful presence. We all stood transfixed in our positions, speech less, breathless, around the dead body of that great and good man. At length the Secretary of War, who was standing at my left, broke the silence and said, "Doctor, will you sav anything?" I replied, "I will speak to God." Said he, "Do it just now. And there by the side of our fallen chief, God put it into my heart to utter this peti tion, that from that hour we and the whole nation might become more than ever united in our devotion to the cause of our beloved, imperilled country. \\ hen I ceased there arose from the lips of the entire company a fervid and sponta neous "Amen." And has not the whole heart of the loyal nation responded "Amen?" as not that prayer, there offered, re sponded to in a most remarkable manner ? When in our history have the people of this land been found more closely bound togeth er in purpose and heart than when the tel egraphic wires bore all over the country the sad tidings that President Lincoln was dead?" '*l DON'T CARE." Yes you do, and there's no use in trying to deceive yourself with the sophistry of these words. The best and noblest, the truest and most generous part of your nature does care for the unkind, cutting words you have uttered to one you loved, in moments of pique. You may carry yourself ever so proud and defiantly, you may never drop by word or look the dew of sweet healing on the wound you have made in a nature as proud, as sen sitive, and exacting as your own; but to your honor be it said, you are better than your words, and away down in your heart lurk shame, and repentance, and sorrow for them. You may carefully hide them both, and in a little while they will be gone, for oh ! it is very easy to make one's self bitter, and proud, and cold—very hard to keep one's selfAiWJo Attf'lkK,, ere fore you can do a mean ungenerous thing to one who loves you, and have your heart en dorse your "I don't care !" And how often these words are uttered, when conscience sternly refutes them; and how often they harden the heart and keep the feet in the way of evil. Be careful, reader, when you say, "I don't care." AGREEABLE RECOMMENDATION. A writer—a physician—in the Agricultu rist, says apples are the most healthy fruit produced in this country. He cites a good many instances to prove the truth of this system. And we suspect that he is very nearly—if not quite—right. He says, in substance, that there are but few articles of vegetable food more widely useful and more universally liked than the apple. Why every farmer in the country has not an apple orchard, where the trees will grow at all, is one of the mysteries. Let every house keeper lay in a good supply of apples, and it will be one of the most economical invest ments in the whole range of eulinaries. A 1 aw, mellow apple is digested in an hour and a half, while boiled cabbage requires five hours. The most healthy dessert that can be placed on the table is a baked apple. If eaten frequently at breakfast, with coarse bread and butter, without meat or flesh of any kind, it has an admirable effect on the general system, often removing constipation, correcting acidities, and cooling off febrile conditions more effectually than the most approved medicines. If families could be induced to substitute apples, sound and ripe for pies, cakes and sweetmeats, with which their children are too frequently stuffed, there would be a diminution in the sum total of Doctors' bills, in a single year, suffi cient to lay in a stock of this delicious fruit for the whole season's use. WEAVING FRUIT BLOSSOMS. A little girl had a young cherry tree which bore beautiful blossoms one spring. She wanted flowers for a garland one day, and thinking the cherry tree blossoms very beau tiful. she plucked and wove them into a gar land. But nlicu tlio timo of cherries came the tree bore none. How could it? Cher ries come from blossoms, and she had pluck ed the blossoms and made them into gar lands. She could not use both blossoms and cherries. It is just so with tho hours of young lives. Hours are blossoms from which come the fruit of success and happiness in after years. Spend them in study, and they will grow into the fruit of scholarship by and by. Spend them in useful industry, and they will grow into the fruit of prosperity when you arc older. Spend them in prayer and reading G id's word, and they will grow iottT the fruit of ripe and manly piety. But if you weave them into garlands for idle sport they will bring forth no fruit. Your life will be a barren tree. Do you understand? ADVICE TO A young lady, the other day, in the course of a lecture, (after the manner of Miss A; ma E. Dickin son) said: _ "Get married, young man, and be quick aboutit too. Don't wait for the millemum, hoping that the girls may turn to angels be fore you trust yourseli with one of them. A pretty thing you'd be alongside an angel, wouldn't you—you brute? Dont wait an other day, but right now—this very night ask some nice, industrious girl to go into partnership with you, to clear your pathway of thorns, and plant it with flowers. WHEN a gentleman stares at a lady, and she stares at him, they are apt to mount to the region of love by a pair of stares. A new style of bonnet has made its appear ance in Paris. It is a twine string with a diamond set in the top. RATES OF ADVERTISING. All advertisements for less than 3 months 10 cents per line for each Insertion. Special notices onehalf additional.

Says the correspondent of the Telegraph-. Warren Hastings never attempted to sub vert the government of his native land; he never publicly travelled round the country he ruled over in the character of a drunken buf foon; he never chose for his friends prize fighters and the keepers of faro-banks: he never encouraged rebel ruffians to murder the friends of the Governmeat: he never egged on villains and cut throats to burn down school houses for the poor. PASSING AWAY.—One of our cotem poraries goes off as follows over the depart ure of the musquitoes : "The musquitoes are gone. Only one visited our pillow last night. His hum (he didn't seem to feel at hum ) was a mournful sound. It spoke of other days—we mean nights—when, surrounded by his gaily puncturing companions, he struck his light guitar. We felt for him—hut didn't find him. We turned on the gas and there sat the little devil on the head board, wiping his eyes with a corner of the musquito bar. The eloquence of his silent grief made us sad also. We picked up a copy of "Young's Night Thoughts" with melancholy abstrac tion. Slowly and silently we approached him so that we should not disturb his medi tation or intrude upon his grief. He was weeping for those who had gone before. Al most reverently did we elevate "Young's Night Thoughts," we poised it a moment in the air to hear again that plaintive wail — and then we waled him : He is gone; he the last of the musque gans. Lightly they'll speak of the "skeeter" that's gone, And o'er his cold carcass upbraid him : But little he'll bite if they let him sleep on— On the head board where 'Woung's Night Thoughts" laid him. EDITORIAL SLAVERY.—Every editor of a newspaper will appreciate the truth of the following passage from some of the writings of Capt.M arryatt; It is not the writing of the leading article itself, but the obligation to write that article everyday, (or week,) whether inclined or not, in sickness or in health; in affliction, after year; tied'dow'n to the "task; remaining in one spot. It is something like the walk ing of a thousand hours. I Lave a fellow feeling, for I know how a periodical will wear down one's existence, in itself it ap pears nothing; but the labor is notmanifest: nor is it the labor, but it is the continued attention which it requires. Your life be comes, as it were, the publication. One day's, (or week's) paper is no sooner correc ted and printed, than on comes another. It is the stone of Eysephus; an endless repe tition of toil, constant weight upon the in tellect and spirits, demanding all the exer tion of your faculties, at the same time that you are compelled to do the severest kind of drudgery. To write for a newspaper is very well, but to edit one is to condemn yourself to slavery. All of which is as true as preJching. RECOVERY OF MR. PRENTICE. —Mr. George D. Prentice, senior editor of the Louisville Journal, acknowledges the sympathy of the press during his recent illness, in the follow ing felicitious manner: "Our heartfelt thanks are due to very ma ny of our brethren of the press for their kind notices of us during our fate illness. Their sympathy soothed aud cheered and strength ened us. It seemed to throws calm and love ly light upon the world, and make us wish to linger still among our fellow men. There ia much that is beautiful and holy and hallowing in sickness. Its influences are purer and better than those of health. Indeed the fee bleness of the body is often the health of the soul. We see and hear what we may not in the season of physical strength. Myriad spir its of the air flutter Over the dividing line between two worlds, uttering to mortal be ings the tones they have learned in heaven. As we move downward upon the sombre and mysterious pathway that leads to the door of the tomb, we behold, as from the depths of a shadowy well and cavern, the pale sereni ties of floating stars, all invisible in the glare and sunshine of the upper air, and their sa cred and blessed light need never fade from the spirit. DELAYS IN THE ROAD TO WEALTH.— Those who envy the merchantsof New York little think how slow a progress they make from tho olork'3 de.k to the stately parlor of tue concern. The new house of Grinnell, Minturn & Co. lias just been remodeled, and two ofits former clerks are made partners. Both of these were fifty years of age and up wards, and one of them had been in the house for more than a quarter of a century. Both had been elevated over the heads of other clerks, out of whom, numbering more than one hundred (employed at differen' times.) only two have reached the pinuacle of success. Such is the dubious prospect held out to youthful ambition. A life of drudgery, perhaps, to bring success when age and habit have rendered it of little value. And yet so great is the rush to obtain situa tions in such houses that clerks receive no pay the first year, and but little even after that.. Hence many become wearied and drop off, and only the tenacious hang on, and of these not one in ten reaches the prize. fi®*Sorghuui jokes are so rare that when one transpires, even if if it is not so funny, we fell like preserving it. A cane grower down in Hoosierdom, writing about the hal ting and sluggish growth of sorghum in its early stages, says : "Cane don't grow one bit till its a foot high. BgfuA man in New Hampshire had the misfortune to lose hiswife. Over the grave he caused a stono to he raised, on which, in the depth of his grief, he ordered to be in scribed: "Tears cannot restore her, there fore I weep." SINFUL habits are the channels of sinful thoughts. If we would have the thoughts to cease to fiow, we must close up the channels.
