The boy is sent as a day board erat a small school. By ordtrof the Prince, tbe boy is called "Victor," simply, except he behaves extraordinary well, when he may be called "Napoleon Victor," as a re ward. His work is from eight in the morn' ing to six in the evening. At first dry bread was prescribed by the Prince as luncheon, but marmalade was added when it appeared that all other little fellows had a little sauce with their bread. Much of the success of the royal families of Europe is due to good physical training in early youth. V hat is to be expected from an over-dress ed. petted no 'die, beyond the cultivation of a weak moustache? IN the Missouri Legislature, the other day, the bill to regulate the compensation of teachers was amended iu the lower House so as to give females the same pay ae males where equally qualified and performing Ilk duties. And why not ? This is a matter of women's rights upon which a great deal of reform i- needed throughout this countrv, and needed in Pennsylvania as much as any where else. It is a matter, too, upon which for the present oor women's rights agitators may more profitably employ their time than in traveling conventions on woman suffrage. It our woman's rights women could only be made to understand that the Pyramids of Egypt were built stone by stone they would ! learn that ail great reforms are not aecom- ! plished in a single jump, but are reached piece by piece. A REPORT comes to us from Mexico that I will be interesting to several titled person- ; ages in Europe. It is stated on good au- \ thority that tbe crown jewels of Spain, which have been mbsing for some time, are in pawn at the oational Monte de Peidad in i the city of Mexico. These precious articles are not to be seen by ordinary visitors to that establishment : but the story is that they were shown to Mr. S- ward and one or two members of hi-> party. They include i the jewels that were pawned by Isabella— not the I-aliella of the Period, but tbe oih- ! er—to fit out Columbus on bis voyage to i di-eover Atueriea. A portion, if not all the jewels that have been added to the Spanieh crown since that time are with them, and i the entire lot has been pledged as collateral for a loan to somebody. The amount of the I I loan and the name of the party who negotia ted it are not gircn. but could probably be j ' ascertained by application to the proper au j thnrities of the Mexican capital. ! BF.ETHER DEPENDS HIMSELF. Mr. Beecher, in a recent review of his tweoty three )ears' ministry at Plymouth Church, defended himself against the charge of I* i ing a sensational preacher, saying that he ' had always tried to set forth the Gosple in i its purity. He added: "A most interesting j faet came to my knowledge a day or two ago. A Roman priest, who had been con vened to Protestantism, told me that in Rome be went into a bookstore, where he found a book made up largely of my ser mons. translated into Italian, and addressed to the faithful of the Romish Church, a "aids to devotion." It would not do to know who the author was. Leaving out the name, it was considert d good enough preaching for even the old Church of Rome. I am satisfied to have my name thus un known. It is testimony of the catholicity and universality of the spirit of Christ, when you take away the names and the boundaries of prejudice, and shows that which is good Gospel here is good Gospel everywhere, even under the pontifical tiara. '* THE FUTURE OF EUROPE.—The Paris corre-pondent of the Chicago Tribune , in a letter ju-t received, says: There is n iw ho vering over Europe an immense cloud of revolution, which gains in size daily, cx tending over manufactures, the labor of the working cla-ses. politics, and religion. The social order of Europe, shaken to its founds lion, is ciacking on all sides, and iu all coun tries. Is this a passing cloud, resulting on ly in a few flashes of lightning and a slight fall of raio? Or is it one of those great so ctal hurricanes let loose by the new condi tions of our time, by improved locomotion, aud more widely diffused instruction, which Will change the face of Europe in order that it may be reconstructed in some other fash ion? Ido not know, but certainly the cloud is over us, and all who are not fools see and feel it as one soes and feels the storm in the 1 heavy days of spring. We. at Paris, are plunged in polities. We laugh and jest as we always do. but the balls, private parties, i and theaters even, suffer by this g<DTal ! trouble. The r< -unions at the court are sus ' (tended. Tbe Empress has nervous attacks, and dreams of Marie Antoinette, the scaf fold, and all that a woman can fancy, who j sees that she is far from being tbe idol of a nation, although, poor woman, she can be reproacln-d oniy for her folly in trying to be come a politician.

There are many days in winter whtn the air is very soft and haltoy, as the early cays of summer, when glad maiden May seems to blow warm breath in the gritn face of February, until the rough old warrior laughs again. It was one morning like this that the morning sunshine was streaming over a high rock that frowns far above the Wi-ahi kon. A high rock, attainable only by along and winding path, fenced in by the trunks of giant pines, whose boughs iu the coldest day of wioter form a canopy overhead. And near this nook —the chamber in the forest, for it was nothing else —sat an old man, 6eparntcd from it by the trunks of the pines, whose boughs concealed his form. That old man had come here alone to think of his two sons now freezing at Val ley Forge; for, though the father was a tory, his two sons were continentals. He was a well meaning n: .n, but some half oraxy idea about th divine right of George'lll, lurked in his b;aio, and kept him back from the camp of Washington. And now, on this bright morning in Feb ruary, he had come here to think the mat ter over. While he was pondering this deep matter over, he heard the tramp of a horse not far off, and looking between the trunks of tbe pines, he saw a man di-mount and advance into the quiet nooks of the moss covered rocks. Leaving this aged man to look upon the iutruder himself, let us look upon him with our own eyes. As be comes through those thick boughs we behold a man over six feet, with his manly form enveloped in a course grey over coat; a chapeau on his bold forehead—and bcßeath the coat you may see the military boots and also the end of a scabbard. And who is this man of kingly presence, who comes here alone to pace this moss covered recess with drooped head and fold ed arms? Wa-bington! As he meditates upon the awful condition of his starving army at Valley Forge, anoth erform, tall as his own, emerges from the boughs, and unperceived gazes upon the warrior. A moment passes, and as Washington turns and meets the stranger's gaze, a j -strong resemblance is noticed. The same height, breadth of chest, limbs, nay. almost the same faces; save that ol the stranger in \ outline, and lacks that ealm consciousness ot j a great soul, which stamps the countenance of Washington. Tbataeseniblance is most strange they are clad in the same coarse gray eoat; their cos tumes are alike—yet hold— The stranger throws open his overcoat I and yon behold that hangman's dress, that British ui iform, flashing with gold and stars. Washington starts back, and lays ; his hand upon his sword. And as those two men, so strangely alike, met there by accident, under that canopy ot boughs, one wandering from Valley Purge, j one from Philadelphia, let me tell you at once that the stranger none other than the Master Butcher of the idol-king. Sir Wil liam Howe. Ycs, there they met, the one the imper sonation of freedom, and the other the tin seled lackey of a tyrant's will. We will listen to their conversation; it is brief but important. For a moment the British General stood ; spell bound before the man whom he had ; crossed the ocean to entrap and bring home: ! ■ the Rebel who had lifted his hand against ; the right divine of the British Pope ! To that British General there was something awful about the soldier who could talk with his God as Washington had a moment ago "I cannot be at length said Sir Wil iam Howe. "I behold before me the chieftain of the rebel army, J Winter Washington? Washington coldly bowed his head. "Then this is a happy hour, for we to ! gelher can give peace and freedom to this ] unhappy land.' j At this word, Washington started with ! surprise, advanced a step, and then exclaim i ed— " And who, sir, arc jou that thus boldly j promises peace and freedom to my coun try ?' "The commander of his Majesty'a forces in America," said Howe, advancing along 1 the wood hidden rock towards Washington. ; "And, oh, sir! let nie tell you that the : King, my master, has heard of your vir j toes, which aloDe dignify the revolt with the name of a war; and it is to you that he looks for the termination of this most disas , t-rous contest." Then Washington, whose pulse had never j quickened before all the panoply of British arms, felt his great heart flatter in his bo -ora, as that great boon was before his eyes peace and freedom to hi< native land ! "Yes," continued Howe, advancing an other step, "my King looks to you for the termination of this uunatural war. Let re bellion once be crushed—let the royal nsnie be finally established by your influences; then, sir, behold toe gratitude of King George to HiMtr Washington." As he spoke, he placed in the hands of Washington a massive parchment, sealed with the broad seal of England, and signed with the natne of King George, Washington took, the parchment, opened and read it, but his face did not change a ■i-uscle. And yet the parchment named I Hitter GEORGE Washington, GEORGE PI KE i WASHINGTON, OF Mt. Vemon: ovrteellbe ; loved tenant, VICEROY OF AMERICA! Here was a boon for the Virginia planter; j here was a tftle and a power for the young ; man who was one day struggling for bis life J away there, amid floating ice, oo the dark ; Allegheny. For a moment the face of Washington was hurried in that parchment, and then, in a low. deep voice, he spoke : * "I have been thinking," said he, "of the j ten thousand brave men who have been 1 ma>aered in this quarrel. I have bern I thinking of Bunker Hill, Lexington, Que i bee, Trenton; yes, the dead of Germantown, ! Saratoga, Brandywine, and —" "And your King," continued Washing ton, with a look and tone that would have cut into the heart of marble." would have me barter the bones of the dead for a rib bon and a title!" And t! en, while Howe shrunk cowering back, the Virginia planter, Washington. crashed that parchment into the sod with the heel of his warrior boot; yes, trampled thai title, that royal name, into one mass of rage end dust - "That's my answer to your King I" And there he stood, with scorn on his brow and in bis eyes, his outstre.tcbed arm pointing at his minion of King George. M aMI t that a picture for tbe pencil of an angel? And now that British General, recovering from bis first eurprise, grew as red as his uniform, with rage. "lour head," he gasped, clinching his hands, "will yet redden the traitor's block " Then Washington's haud sought hi" sword, then his fierce spirit awoke within him; it was hi* first impulse to strike the braggart quivering in the du-t. But in a moment be grew calm. ours is a good and great King," he said with his usual stern tone. "At first he is determined to sweep a whole continent with five thousand meD, but soon finds that his five thousand men must swell to twenty five thousand, before he can even begin hi work of murder : then be sacrifices bis own subjects by thousands—and butchers peace fui farmers by tens of thou-ands—and yet he march of victory is not even begun. Then, if he conquers the capital city of the continent, victory is sure. Behold the city is IL his grasp, yet still the hosts of freedom de fy fc.m, even Irom the huts of Valley Forge. "And now, as a last resource, your King comes to the man whose, head yesterday was sought, with a high reward, to grace the iate of Londcn—he offers that rebel a Dukedom—a viceregal scepter ! Aud yet that rebel tramples the Dukedom into the dust —that rebel crushes into atoms the name of such a king." Ab, never a spaniel skulked away from the kick of bis master as General Howe cringed away from the presence of Wash ington. He mounted his horse and was gone. One word with regard to the aged tory, who lieheld the scene from yonder bushes, with alternate wonder, admiration and fear. That tory went home. "I have seen George IV ashing top at prayer," he said to his wife. "The ma's who can trample upon the name of a King-as he did—pray to Gml as he prayed—that man cannot be a rebel or a bad man. To-morrow I wiil join my sons at Valley Forge." WHY AUNT SALLY NEVER MAR. HIED. "Now Aunt Sally, do please tell us whv you never married. You know you said once that when you were a girl you were en gaged to a minister, and promised that yon would tell us all about it, sometime. Now, Aunt, plea*e do.'' "Well, if I ever did sec such girls in all my borne days. It's tea-e, tease from morn ing till night, but what you mu-t know all about everything that you haven't any busi ness to know anything about Such inquisi tive, pesteriferous critters as you are! When I was young, girl.- was different; they tnind ed tbeir business and didn'tgo sailing around with a whole string of beaux, getting their heads filled with all kinds of nonsense. 1 never dared to ask my aunts, married orsio gle, about any of their affairs. Pretty tnes- I'd have got in if I had. When they of feral to tell me anything of their own ac cord, I kept my mouth shut and listened. Everything is different now-a-days ; younr foil* have no respect for their elders. But as . see I am not going to hare any peace till I do tell you, why just listen, and don't let me hear a word out of one of your mouths till I get through." 'That'sright.. Aunt Sally, gOright ahead, do. and we'll keep perfectly still." ' Well, you see, when I was about seven te- 1 ! years old. I was living in Utica, in th- Stae, of New York. Thoueh I say it my sell, I was quite a good looking girl then, anc had several beaux. The one that took my fancy most was a young minister, a very proni-ing young man and remarkably pious and steady. lie thought a great deal of me. aud I kind of took a fancy to him and thing rar on till we were eDgaged. "One evening he came to me —1 reuiem i*r it as well a> if it were only yesterday. Whin he came into the parlor, where I wa ttling a'onc, he came up to me and—but nrw, p.*! aw I girls. 1 dou't like to tell tbe rest." ' Oh, Aunt -tally, for mercy sake, don't s:op; tell us what he did." "Well, as I said, he came up to me and put his arms around me, aud rather hugged tae, while I got exciud and some frustrated, and it wa- a long time ago, and don't know but what I might have hugged him back a iitt'e. Then I felt—but now ju-t clear oui every one of you, I shan't tell you any more." "Goodness gracious, no, Aunt Sally. Te'il us how you felt. Didn't you feel good, and what did he do next ?" "Oh, such torments as you are! I was ike any other girl, and pretty soon I pre tended to be mad about it, and pushed him away, tnough I wasn't mad a bit. You nust know that the bou-e where I lived was j rce of the bac-k streets in town. There j were glass doors in the parlor, which opened right over the street, and no balcony or any thing of the kind in front of the house. A it was in the summer season thee door were opened and the shutters ju-t drawn t . I stepped back a little from him, and when he edged up close I pushed him away again. I pu-hed harder than I intended to, and don't you think eir]-, the poor fellow lost hi- balance and fell through one of tbe door into the street ? \es, it s so. As he fell 1 gave a scream and caught him —but I declare I won't tell anything more. I'm going to leave the room." "No. no, Aunt Sa"y ! How did you catch him ? Did it hurt him much ?" "Well, if I must, I must. He fell head ! lirst, and as he was going I caught him by the legs of his trowsers. I held on for a minute and tried to pull him back, but his suspenders gave way, and the poor young : nuau fell clear out of his pantaloons into a whole parcel of ladies and gentleman pass ing along the street." "Oh. Aunty, Aunty, Lordv, Lordy ! He, he, he!" "There, that's right; giggle aud squeal as much as you want to. Girls that can t hear about a little thing like that without tearing around :he room, and he-he-ing it- such a way don't know enough tocome home when it rains. A nice time tho man that ever marries one of you wili have, wont he? Catch me telling ton anything again." "But, Aunt Sally, what became of him ? Did you ever see him again? ' "No, the moment he touched the ground I he got up and left that place in a terrible hurry. I tell you it was a sight to remem ber to see how that mau did run. Father happened to be coming up the atreet at the titnc, and he said he never saw anything to equal it in his whole !ife. I heard others say that he did tbe fastest rnnning ever known in that part of the country, and that he never stopped or looked behind until be was two miles out of town. He seot me a note a few days afterward saying that the engagement must be broken off. as he never could look me in the face after what had happened. Ho went out West, and Ibe lieve be is preaching out in Illinois. But he never married. He was very modest, and I suppose he was so badly frightened that he never dared to trust himself near a woman again. That, girls, is the reason I never married. I felt very bad about it for a long time, for be was a real good man, and I've often thought that we should always have been happy if hit suspenders hadn't given way." AMERICAN PERFUMERY. Of late years tbe use of fine perfumery has become very general in tbe United Ftates. Its sales t many firms, in many instances, is an exclusive fortune by itself. Its manufacture, especially of American cologoes, by the leading chemists of the Union within the last ten or twelve years, has become a specialty of trade. Acknowiedgediy, within that period, some of the very best Cologne water at present manufactured in the world bas been made in this country, and now bears, either blown in tbe glass, or labelled upon its pa pered front, the name or names of some of our superior American druggists. Indeed, to such an extent is the manufacture now carried, that the best metropolitan chenri-L --latterly furnish priuted circulars to their customers, containing each tbe names ol half a dozen or more species of scented wat er, of their exclusive manufacture, in lieuol their former French, English or German lists. Except, in fact, by foreigners, to-day, choice brands of either the old favorite Ger maD or Paris Farina Colognes are but little calf d for Corn spirit, although of much more value than the grape for many of the lighter es -encts, such as the vin'et, lavender, etc.. which latter delicate bouquets are universal ly conceded to be much finer of English than of French, has never by connoisseurs been admitted upon a par, for general use, with the grape spirit, now exclusively used by the French in the preparation of the world-famed Cologne. Some Americans— and usually the best chemists—follow tb< Parisian choice in spirits. Others, again, nd some far from an inferior class of Amer ican druggists, keep tbeir manufacture of Cologne from first to last a close secret in the firm. One can barely, now a-days, vi-it ID American pharmacy possessed of any oi dinary pretentions to exterprise, but that, if the inquiry be preferred tor Cologne, a dainty little bottle of "our own exclusive manufacture" is tendered with glowing words of recommendation for the question er's trial. And still with all this growing national interest in this oDe special branch of manu facture. the perfumer's art is said not to be a lucrative one in America. The purftrmer m the United States complains bitterly that no business is now so heavily taxed as his. Every ingredient is now doubled, in some in-tances trebled, its co.-t within eight or >en years since. Especially is the tax on alcohol, as also that upon tbe stamps and sales, felt to be the greatest strain. For example: In 1860, alcohol was selling at bu< forty cents per gallon; it now brings three dollars. Tallow, also, has risen to a most exorbitant figure. Few manufacturing per fumers, as may readily be imagined, at these h'gh prices, have survived the pressure. Hence the fact, that wiihin the last six year-, no ingle manufacturer has permanent ly entered into perfumery as a business in ibis city. In the preparation of essences the follow ing list of five extracts is considered stock es-ence enough, and sufficiently varied to manufacture five hundred "bouquets" from —to wit: Rose, Jessamine, Tube Rose, Cassie and Orange Flower. Two articles, very much patronized abroad, and especial ly in Paris, have comparatively but limited -ale in the United States, and absolutely no American manufacture. Allu-ion is made to the "('old Cream" which is the French man and woman's ideal cosmctique, and PaDacea coupled with the almost inuutnera ble varieties of toilet vinaigres, with which —and oftentimes to ths aimast total exclu -ion of Nature's cosmctique, pure cold wat er —foreigners, and particularly French peo ple, indulge so lavishly in. It is an indis putable fact that by American ladies neither of these compounds are much sought after. In their places glycerine of late years, plain and in every conceivable form and combina tion, may be said to be tLe more strictly na tional, sine qua non, for the toilet. In fact, this ingredient, which is simply the sugar •if fat. now enters largely into almost every known cosmetique.— Ntw York Mail. TIIE BIBLE IN THE SCHOOLS. Will the CathJics he Satisfied H hen tfu Bible has been Banished ? Not many men. we suppose, are thinking j that, when once the reading of the Bible in •he public school® is prohibited, th" Roman Catholics will be content with oar American system of instruction by the State. If suy one entertains that opinion, he has only to take a look at the Roman Catholic papers to iearo that he is much mistaken. Says f be : Freeman's Journal, under date of Decern- i her 11 : "Let the public school system go to j where it came from—the devil," "Wediu not and will not," says the Tablet , "accept • the State as educator." '"There is DO pos- ; sible programme of common school instruc tion," says the Freeman's Journal of No- i vetnher 20, "that the Catholic Church can permit her children to necept. * * * It is not that ice declare so. It is the Catholic Church." And then tbe writer goes on to j quote front the Syllabus to the effect that no Roman Catholic is at liberty to believe otherwise than that it is a most daDgerous enor to think that any school is a fit school for Roman Catholic children which >s not en tirely under the control ol the Church. That the teaching in State schools regards only or chiefly the mere knowledge of natural things and tbe purposes of our social life here on earth, is wholly betide the que-tioa, says the Journal ; the children are immortal, and the whole object ol teach ing tbem anything is to prepare them for an eternal life. The same papei says: "If j the Catholic translation of the books of Holy VOL. 43: ISO 7. V\ rit which is to be found in the homes <.( il our better educated Catholics were to be dissected by the ablest Catholic theologian in the land, and merely lessons to be taken from ir, such as Catholic mothers read to their children, ar.d with all the notes and comments in the popular edition, and others added, with the highest Catholic endorse rnent, and if these admirable Bible lessons, and these alone, were to be ruled as to be read in all the public schools, this would not diminish in any substantia! degree the oh jec-tions we Catholic* have to letting our children attend the public schools." In short, if the Roman Catholic press does not misrepresent the Roman Catholic feeling '.'id opinion about our common school system, the school must be the priest preachinsr, or else cur Roman Catholic fellow citizens will be advised by their :lergy to refuse it support. DEADHEADS. The term "deadhead" is not to be found in Webster, but it is taking firm root in the language. "Deadheads," as we understand the meaning, are not confined to the theatre, the steamboat, the stage and t-bcrail-car; they infest every walk of life—they are found hanging to the skirts of every popular movement. Jo politics, how many dead heads ride into office npon the backs of the people. They pay no fare, for tbey have no lalenis or good intentions—they only pocket their salaries. They are deadheads, ridiDg in the national train, at the expense of the people. In the benevolent and reformatory movements of the day the deadhead often Suds a snug corner. When evils are hunted he is sure to be in at the death, though ever i laggard in the chase. He has away of cutting aeross lots, and an instinct seems to lead him to the points of victory. He is the readiest to claim the reward, but the slowest to earn it. He reaps where he has not sown, wd enters into the fruits of other men's labors. The church, too, has its deadheads. Some of them, alas ! are deadhearted. They fire great at praying, but very small at pay ing. They hope to ride on the "Celestial Railroad at other men's expense. They trustto besavedbythe company tbey arein. They are a stumbling-block in the way of unbelievers, and occupy the seats of better men. But. alas for tfcem. they will at last be obliged to show their tickets ere tbey enter the heavenly gates. The world, in short, is full of deadheads—and some of them are blockheads. This earthly sphere is a railroad train, in which we are all rush ing towards eternity. How many of us have paid our fare? How many areoccpying scats which we have not earned? Let us hasten to secure a title to them before the ban is ut tered against ali deadheads, and we are driv en out with shame. * * * Young men, never be a deadhead! Pay your way in the world if you would Jive. Do not attempt to ride through life at the expense of otheis, or hang upon other men's labors. If you do. you may hang upon somthing else, and worse yet, will surely lose the inward peace and happiness which flow from a conscious ness of duty done. MOSS AGATE A!*il> BLOOUSTO>E. Among the most fashionable stones usrd for ornaments is the 3lontana moss agtae. If is transparent, and has beautiful veins of moss running through it which forms a very pleasing contrast when handsomely mnun red. Agates are found in porphyry, amyg dalsio, green stone and serpentine gener ally, accompanied by chalcedony and corne lian. The vegetable appearances in the varieties of agate are said to result from the pre'enee of real plants in the stone. Until the Montana agate became so much in vogue, the specimens brought from Ob erstein, in Germany, were considered the most beautiful. It is also found in other parts of the United States. The variety of •olors which it presents depends, in a great measure, on the number and kinds of the -implc minerals composing it. Some are dotted or clouded with red cornelian, or -triped liU tlio onyx, flltaroatoSy witb rbsl eedon; and cacbalong, or in some parts opaque, with the presence of jasper, etc. The heliotrope, or bloodstone is also found in great variety. Its color is deep green, peculiarly rich, interspersed with blood red spots, translucent on the edges, lustre glis rening, and resinous. It is called bloodstone from the appearance of the red spots, and sometimes Oriental jasper, from the fact ihat the choicest varieties come from the Eat. It is plentiful in Siberia, Iceland. Bohemia, the Faroe Islands, Scotland and India, and is also to be had in our own State jf New York, near Troy. Artists who engrave on this stone avail themselves of its peculiar arrangement of colors to produce the most striking effects. In the Imperial collection at Paris, there exists a bust of our Saviour, in which the drops of blood falling from the wounds are represented by the natural red spots of the heliotrope. Blood stone has never been known to go out of fashion entirely, the sainc as other stone. COMMERCE OF THE WORLD.

JOSH BILLINGS' PAPEHX JEWS HAKPS. A gentleman iz a gentleman the world I over—loafers differ. Benevolence iz the cream that rizes on the milk or human kindness. Courage without discretion, iz a ram with horns on both ends, be will hiv more fites on band than he kan well attend to. Hunting after happiness, iz like bunting after a lost sheep in the wilderness: wbeo yu find it. the chances are, that it iz a skeleton. A dog iz tbe only animal kritter who iurs yu more than he luvs himself. There iz no more real Batisfackshon in lay ing up io yure buzzum an injury than thare iz in stuffing a dead hornet, who haz stung you, aod keeping him tew look at. Old friends are like old cheese, the strongest. Lies are like illegitimate children, they are liable tew call a man "Father" when he least cxpekts it All money that iz well spent, iz a good investment. If we would all ov us take kan ov out own souls, and let onr nabors alone, there I would be less time lost, and more souls I saved. Before i would preach the gospel az some ministers are obliged to, for 450 dollars a year, i would git a living az Nebudkenezzer did, and let the congregashun go tew grass to. Contentment is the vittles, and drink ov the soul. I>id yu ever hear a son bragging about hiz father, whoze father could with justice, brag about hiz son ? The safest kind ov fnitb i kco ov, iz humanity. Tbc man who never makes enny mis takes, like the angle-worm, never gits far away from biz hole. A brilliant blunder in a writer, iz often one ov hiz best hits. Tyranny iz often changed, but never de i stroved. Suekiug a whipt sillybub, thru a rby ' straw, iz a good deal like trieing tew Kv on buty. I Dever knu a profound pbool yet, who did not affefct gravity, nor a truly wixe man. wheze face was Dot alwus cocked and primed, for a laugh. Prudery iz nothiug more than coquetry, go DO to seed. Mew York city iz a fasst p'ace, yu kant even pass a phuneral procession, unless yu hav got the fasstest boss. Truth haz hardly clothing enuff tew hide its nakedness. A pompous man iz like a full blown blad der. it iz pure malice tew prick him. The money and morality uv this world are a good deal alike, the principle never loses sight ov the interest. Pitty costs nothing—and aint worth noth ing. What men kant do, they are apt to ad mire,—they don't criticise a mountain, be- I kaoze thes kant make one. Poverty iz one ov them kind ov misfor tunes, that we all ov us dread, but none or I us pitty. Thare iz lots ov people in this world who covet misfortunes, jist for the luxury ov grunting. It iz comparatively cazy tew repent ov the sins that webav committed, but tew re pent ov those which we intend to commit, is asking tew much ov enny man, now days. I thank God for one thing, and that iz, when every buddy else iz happy, I am sure to be. Most mcu go thru life az rivers go tew the sea. bi following the lay ov the ground.

Persecuted for the Devil's sake, iz what sinners git for their allegiance. Sum people won't beleave enny thing they kant prove; the things i can't prove, arc the very things i beleave the most. Pride never shows itself more disgust ingly than in the pomp ova phuneral. Happiness is not idleness, but its spirit iz az free from labor, az the life ova yearling heifei.
