Under the lanaplighta, deist lu the street,
Delicate, fair and only twenty,
There libellee,
Fear to the skies,
Starved to death in a city of plenty,
Spurned by all that is pure and sweet,
Passed by busy and careless feet—
Kuudrada bent upon folly awl pleaeare,
Hundreds with plenty, awl time and leisure
Leleure to speed Christs natation below,
To teach the erring and raise the lowly—
Plenty, In charity's name babe.
Thatdife has something divine and holy.
Downed charms--elassical brow,
Delicate features—loop at them now.
Look at her Hpa; once they could smile;
Eym—wetl, never, more shall they beguile
Never more, never more words of hers
A blush shall bring to the saintliest face,
She has found, let US hope and trust,
Peace In a higher and batter place.

A Messing for her his dariingerl.

Of sll the tenderness, love and care,
Lonely watching and sore beart•ache,
All the agony, burning tears,

Breathed and suffered for her dear sake.

HOW TO POOGPSYS IN "monism.
We recommend the following hints to
full grown boys, as well as to young men
just entering onthe duties of life:
In the first place, make up your mind
to accomplish whatever you undertake,
decide upon some partieular employ
ment, and pen3evere init. All difficulties
are overcome by diligence and assiduity.
Be not afraid to work with your own
hands, and diligently too. "A cat in
gloves catches no mice." "He who re
mains in the mill, grinds not, but he who
goes and comes."
Attend to your own business, and nev
er trust to another. "4 pot that belongs
to many is ill stirred and worse,bolled."
Be frugal. "That which will not
make a pot, will makes potlid." "Save
the cents, and the dollars will take care
of themselves."
Be abstemious. "Whb dainties love
shall beggars prove."
Rise early. "The sleeping fox catches
no poultry." "Plough deep while slug
gards sleep, and you will have corn to
sell and keep." -
Treat every one with respect and civili
ty. Everything is gained and nothing
is lost by courtesy. "Good manner:3in
sure success."
Never anticipate Wealth from any
other source than labor ; especially never
place dependenoe upon becoming the
possessor of au Inheritance.
" He who waits for dead men's shoes,
may have to go for a long tame barefoot.
He who runs after a shadow has a weari
some raee."p
Above all things, never despair. "God
is where he was." "Heaven helps throe
who help themselves."
Follow implicitly these precepts, and
nothing can hinder you from accumula
ting.
THE DANGERS( Sr HEUIEZ.
Out lady readers should be informed
that the liquid called benzine, which
they use so freely for removing grease
spot, and stains from clothing, is a very
dangerous article. It le one - of the sub
stances from petroleum, sad is
highly volatile, inflamsuabLe, and when
the vapor is mixed with air, explosive.
We have frequently been much alarmed,
when visiting neighbors and friends in
the evening, to observe a phial of this
fluid standing in close proximity to a
lamp, or gas flame, and the odor perva
ding the room. A very email quantity
is capable of doing irreparable mischief.
The contents of a four ounce phial, if
overturned and vaporized, would render
the air of a moderate sized room explo
sive ; or, if ignited, a whole family might
be seriously burned, or lose their lives
from It. It should never be used in the
vicinity of flame; and it is important to
remember that through the medium of
the escaping vapor, when the phial is
uncorked, flame will leap to it through a
space of several feet. Benzine is often
sold under various fa.neflul names, and,
therefore, any article procured from
druggist, for removing oil or grease from
fabrics should be handled with the ut
most care.—Ezehange.
ONIONS ♦ND lIIPIDENIaII
In the spring of 1849 I was in charge
of one hundred men on shipboard, with
the cholera among the men. We had
onions, which a number of the men ate
freely. Those who did so were soon at
tacked, and nearly all died. As soon
as I made this discovery their use was
forbidden. After mature deliberation
came to the oonclusion that onions
should never eaten during the pre
valence of epidemics, for the reason that
they absorb the virus and communicate
the disease, and that the proper use for
them is sliced, and placed in the sick
room, and replaced with fresh ones
every few hours. It Is a well established
fact that onions will extract the poison
of snakes ; this I personally know. Some
kinds of mud will do the same. After
Maintaining the foregoing opinion for
eighteen years, I found the following
well attested: Onions placed In the room
where there is small-pox will blister and
decompose with great rapidity ; not only
so, but will prevent the spread of the dis
ease. I think as a disinfectant they have
no equal, when properly used ; but keep
them out of the stomach. If need be,
the foregoing (which I have greatly ab
breviated) can be attested on oath.

TWOMBLEYM lIINITAIL6
Mr. Thomas Twombley had drank but
all glasses of brandy and water, when,
being a man of discretion, he returned
home at the seasonable hour of 1, A. 3C,
and went soberly to bed. Mrs. Thomas
Twombley was too well accustomed to
the comings and goings of maid Thomas
to be much disturbed by the trifling
noise he made on retiring ; but when
she discovered that be had his boots on,
she requested him to move them or keep
his feet out of the bed.
"My dear," said Mr. Twombley, in au
apologetic tone, "skims me! How I
came to forget the boots, I can't con
ceive, for I'm jest as sober as ever I was
in all my life!"
Mr. Twombley eat on the side of the
bed, and made an efibrt to pull off his
right boot. The attempt was successful,
though it brought him to the floor. On
regaining his feet,, Mr. Twombley
thought ke saw the door open. As he
was sure he shut the door on coming in,
he was astonished, and dark at it was In
the room, he couldn't be mistaken, he
felt eertaln. Mr. Twombley staggered
towards the door to shut itLwhen, to
his still greater surprise, he saw a figure
approach from beyond. Mr. Twombley
stopped; the figure stopped. Twombley
advanced again, and the figure did the
same. Twombley raised his right hand,
and the figure raised Its left.
"Who's there?" roare.l Twombley,
beginning to be frightened. The object
made no reply. Twombley raised his
boot lila menancing attitude—the figure
defied him by shaking a similar object,
"By the Lor!" Cried Twombley, "I'll
find out who you are, you sneaking
cuss!" He hurled the boot full at the
head of the mysterious object, when—
crash! went the looking glass, which
Twombley had mistaken for the door.
11010CAMItli TirTll
This old colored woman, now living in
Michigan, recently visited Milton, Wis.,
where slie was the guest of a Mr. Good
rich, who was an out-and-out temperance
man, and a noted hater of tobacco. One
morning she was pulling away with
long pipe In mouth, when her host, Mr.
Goodrich, approached her, and com
menced conversation with the following
Interrogatory:
"Aunt Sojourner, do you think you
are a Christian ?"
"Yes, Brudder Goodrich, I speck I
am."
"Aunt Sojourner, do you believe in
the Bible?"
"Yee, Brodder Goodrich, I bleeve the
Scripters ; though I can't read them as
you can."
"Aunt Sojourner, do you know that
there is a passage in the Scriptures
which declares that nothing unclean
can enter the Kingdom of Heaven?"
"Yes, Brudder Goodrich, I have heard
tell of it."
"Aunt Sojourner, do you believe It?"
"Yes, Brudder Goodrich, I bleeve it."
"Well, Aunt Sojourner, you smoke,
and you cannot enter the Kingdom of
Heaven, because there Is nothing so un
clean as the breath of a smoker. What
do you say to that?"
"Why, Brudder Goodrieh, I speck to
leave my breff behind me when I go to
Heaven."
DEFINITION OF D(KMATIBll.—"Robert,
my dear," said Jenny, with the deferent
ial air of a scholar ; "Robert, what did Mr.
Carraway mean when he said he hated
dog—dogmatism?"
Topps was puzzled.
" Robert, my dear," Jenny urged,
"what in the world is dogmatism 7"
Now it was the weakness of Topps
never to confess ignoranoe of anything
to his wife. "A man ahould never do it."
Topps had been known ig a convivial
season to declare, "It makes 'em conceit
ed." Whereupon Toppa prepared him
self as was his wont, to make a solemn sat
isfying answer.
Taking off his hat and smoothing the
wrinkles on his brow, Topps said :
"Humph! What is dogmatism? It
is this, of course—dogmatism is puppy-
Ism come to its full growth !"
And Topps was about right.
THE STORY or Dux. Full.Eirron.—Bill
had inherited a handsome estate from his
father, but having neither industry nor
business, he fell into evil habits, and by
a life of dissipation and riotous living had
squandered all his property. For some
time he had lived only on credit. One
night he was returning home in a condi
tion of Intoxication, when, being unable
to walk, he laid down in the gutter and
went to sleep. While in this position
a robber approached him, and presenting
a loaded pistol at his head, demanded his
money or his life. Bill, partly aroused,
thrust his hand in his pocket, and said :
"My friend, silver and gold have I none,
but I'll give you my note at sixty days."
THE SCHOOLMASTER ABROAD.—The

MAN is like a snowball. Leave him
lying in Idleness against the sunny fence
of prosperity, and all good that is In him
Welts like butter; but kick him around
and he gathers strength with every suc
cessive revolution until he grows into an
avalanche. To succeed you must keep
moving.
A vourra lady possessing more vanity
than personal charms, remarked, in a
jesting tone, but with an earnest glance,
"she travelled on her good looks." A
rejected lover being present remarked
he "mould now account for her never be

A HOOFER'S wife attempted to move

The editor of the Lancaster inieiligim
ccr, who was in attendance, says that
the recent Democmtic State Convention
at Harrisburg was one of the ablest bo
dies of the kind he ever saw. Among
the delegates were many who are not
only 'known throughout the State, but
whose names are familiar to the whole
country. It was evident that there was
a determination among the members
conscientiously to do in all things what
they felt to be best for the interests of
this 'much distressed and oppressed na
tion. While there was an active and
eager rivalry among the friends of dif
ferent candidates, and while the contest
for Delegates at large to the National
Convention was especially exciting,
swallowing up to a great extent the riv
alry for State candidates, we must say
we never saw such • general desire to
choose the right men for the place and
the times. All mere sectional and per
sonal considerations were laid aside, and
the Convention proceeded to the impor
tant work before it with a temper and in •
manner that showed that prudence and
sagacity which have given to the Democ
racy of Pennsylvania so many triumphs
in the past, and which will undoubtedly
enable them to swell' their majority of
last tall to many thousands at the com
ing all-important Presidential election.
The candidates put forward for Audi
tor and Surveyor Generals are men of
decided ability, of sterling integrity, of
unsullied personal honor. and of popular'
manners. They are both young and
both fine speakers. In the coming con
test they will appear before the people
of the'State, and on the stump will well
bear their part in the discussion of the
momentous issues which are now agita
ting the nation.
Our candidate for Auditor General,
Hon. Chu. E. Boyle, of Fayette county,
is a civilian, and one of the ablest young
men in Western Pennsylvania. For
two years together he was the recogniz
ed leader of the Democratic party on the
floor of the lower House of our Mite
Legislature, and he acquitted himself so
ably as to give him a high reputation
throughout the State. The West de
manded his nomination, with a very
good show of reason so far as the ques
tion of locality was conoerned. The
nomination of Mr. Boyle is an excellent
one.
The candidate for Surveyor General,
Gen. Wellington 11. Ent, of Columbia
county, is as gallant a soldier as ever
went forth from Pennsylvania.' He
fought through the war against the
Southern secessionists who sought to
destroy the Union by force of arms, and
la now as ready vigorously to do battle
against the band of Northern traitors,
who by preventing its restoration have
kept him and his fellow-soldiers from
seeing the fulfilment of the great work
for whith they so freely shed their blood
and periled their lives. The State ticket
as it thus stands, being composed of a
distinguished civilian and a distinguish
ed soldier, cannot fail to be elected by a
very large majority.
The platform of principles put forward
by the Convention is eminently sound
And conservative. It Is not made up of
glittering generalities, but is a clear and
distinct enunciation of the great politi
cal principles which underlie the pre
sent\\. aJJ , important contest.. ' It will com
mend itself to every right di nklng man
in Pennsylvania, and will in for us
many votes from the Oppositio .
The Convention did its work well.

A OITIOGSTICAL WIDOW
A widow woman residing in the east
ern section of Wheeling, Va., had occa
sion to resort to a piece of strategy to
meet the demands of her landlord and
save ,her home. Her means were very
limited, arid to the frequent duns of her
landlord she was compelled to give him
many excuses, until he became exaspera
ted and demanded when she could pay
him. She then told him that she had no
Enmity now, but was expecting some
from a son who was absent, and that
probably in a few days she would dis
charge the debt. The landlord is a
prompt old fellow, especially when there
is money is the question, so it was but a.
few days before be showed his "grim
visage" at the widow's door again, buoy
ant with the hope of receiving the
amount due him. But unfortunately the
woman was not prepared to meet her ob
ligations, and did not know what to do
undertheeircumstances. Feelings/thorn
ed to postpone the payment any longer
by promises, she retortelt to a, piece of
strategy to accomplish the' same end.
The landlord knocked at the door and
made- his business known. The widow
informed him that she had the money
for some time, but that herself and her
children were afflicted with the small
pox, and that she was afraid to go out for
fear that the disease would grow worse
from exposure. The landlord did'nt wait
to hear any more, or even to get the
money, but vs:noosed instanter, and tuts
not been aploe in that locality. ,

- 'HONEY LOCUST FARM, L. r.,
Near Brooklyn, Jan. 30,
DEAR SIR; I suppose you will not
me, therefore to aid your memory
will state some circumstances that oe,
curred between us about a third of a cen
tury ago. At that time you will reniem"
tier a town called the Two Taverns,
(which contained also A blacksmith shop)
about Ave miles from Gettysburg, on the
Baltimore turnpike; and of youtowning
one of the tavern!, and of exchanging It ,
with Robert Criswell, my father. of
Frer.klin nounty, for a farm irr - Path
Valley, and of my coming (then a mere
Loy) to your office in Gettysburg, to (n
-ines an exchange of title deeds of the
properties. Some years afterwards
called-On you lu Lancaster; uow you will
recollect me. You are accused of ac
knowledging that you are legislating
"outside of the Constitution," and of
saying that the rule of the Constitution
had gone by, and that the will of the •
party In power Is the Supreme law of the
land. Is this true? 1 hope not, for your
sake. I have heretofore always endeav
ored to uphold you, when you and 7uur
measures were spoken against. borne
have said the reason you were so hard on
the rebels was becauseyou were vindictive
and revengeful, bo account of their burn
ing your Caledonia Iron Works during
Lee's luvalson of Pennsylvania, thereby
causing you to lose 5.50,0 1 00, I told them
no; that yoti did not care for the loss of
your works, that your only regret was
that about two hundred laborers were
thrown out of employment ou account of
ft, until you could get them rebuilt again ;
that you have always been an abolition
ist; but it seems that this fondness for
the colored race has so grown on you
of late, that you may be said to be afflict
ed with that new disease called "Nigger
on the brain," as you wish to give them
rights and flavors denied to white mon.
V,bite emigrants are required to' live a
certain length of time In the country
before voting ; butyou want to give the
Ignorant blackif the right of suffrage im
mediately; and you want to make the
South such a Paradise for them (in dis
regard of the interest of the whites) that
It will attract some of their race to emi
grate front Africa and the Southern
Islands. In that event, I suppose you
would want to have an agent of the
Freedmen's Bureau at the pier to hand
each of these liottentote a ballot as they
landed from the vessel.
Why don't yon allow thatu to vote,
and sit on Juries, fund hold office In
your own State? my native State? Echo
answers, why the Pennsylvanians would
not allow lt, and well you know It.
But If you should succeed lerecurlng
the negro vote you cannot elect a Radical
President; for you will lose Ave_ white
votes for every negro one you gain.--
Even General Grant, your most popular
man, cannot be elected as a Radical,
The General should remember that
the great hero of not one war only, tut
of two. General Scott, could not be elected
President.
I am only one of thousands that join
Johnson or the constitutional party. I
never voted a Democratic ticket in _my
life; was a Whig the same as You, Mr.
Stevens, until the Republican party was
organized in 11356; then I Joined It; It
was as natural for us Whigs to slide into
it as It is for ducks to swim.
So good-bye, Mr. Stevens ; I alway a
have admired your great talents, but I
think they are misdirected of late ; be
sides you have got too many black chimp
in your flock, and ars too anxious to in
crease their number, to suit me any
longer. I join the other flock. Adieu,
adieu. ROBERT CRISWELL.
HINT% PON CHOOWING NEAT AT NAIR
A cotemporary says he has often been
surprised at the Ignorance displayed by
housekeepers in the selections which
they frequently make In the market for
family supplies. Many seem to think If
they have chosen from an overgrown
beast or bird with large bones, loaded
with masses of fat .upon Its flesh, that
they have been particularly lucky and
secured an excellent dish, when In all
probability, they have taken the very
worst and least profitable for coma:up - -
lion. In purchasing a quarter ofan ani
mal, or pieces from lt, we should select
such:as have the smallest, thinned, and
flattest bones, covered by the finest
grained flesh, with the fat intermixed,
In thin streaks or layers with the lean.
This will almost Invariably be found
tender, Joley and profitable. On tho
contrary, meat with large, round, thick
bones, ors coarse grain, and showing the
fat in thick slices or large lumps, will
prove tough, unsavory. and so far as the
profitable part of It is concerned, nut
worth so much by twenty.fiv9 per cent.
as the finer bone qualities! Poultry
which bps long, coarse legs, neck and
'head, ought to be avoided, while that
with short, fine legs, long round, and
plump bodies, and a fine, short neck and
head if of a suitable age, should be pre
ferred. These remarks do not apply
with the same force to ash, for several
kindi of the most bony are very good
eating, although they may not be as
profitable as those with fewer bones.
The most delicate, however, have rather
a large number of Imes compared with
the amount of meat they give; for exam
ple, the salmon, bass, cod and mackerel
of salt water, and the Mackinaw trout,
muzcalogne and white fish of the fresh
water. Very large vegetables are not
usually as good as those of medium size,
but to this rule there are many excep
tions. As for fruits, the largest ars al
ways the best.

The rnostatupendous tunnel enterprise
has lately been, accomplished at the sil
ver mines In the German Harts moun
tains. The mines were over 8,000 feet
deep, and,scarelty of fuel prevented the
use of steam for pumping, which wee
done by water wheels, aided by tunnel
drains. But the great depth reached in
1859 precluded further progress In that
manner, and a tunnel was commenced
for deep drainage, which is just no wan
'shed.
This tunnel is twenty-two miles long;
two million cubic yards of solid rock
were excavated, ten thousand pounds of
powder used, and the linear extent of
blasting holes drilled was 180 miles. Nat
rally, on the successful completion of
this colossal work, thirty-two tbous
and miners, whose livelihood Is now
assured for twenty years, celebrated
the event with grand rejoicing. The
mines can be worked till 1887 without
steam, and they have been operated
since the year 988 in continuous profit
able production.
IN a neighboring city there !Iva an
ill-matched couple, who seldom allow a
day to pass without indulging in violent
quarrels. One day, after the wife had
exhausted her stock of invectives, she
pointed to s ostand dog who were lying
together near the stove, and accosted her
husband with : "Look at them Waste ;
they don't quarrel." "Ab," replied the
confident husband, "tie them together,
and then Nee."
