HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
Is a combination of all the ingredients of the Bitters
with the purest quality of Santa Cruz Rum, Orange,
hc.onaking one of the most pleasant and agreeable rem

Those preferring a Medicine free from Alcoholic ad

mere matter of taste,theTonic being the most palatable.
The stomach, from a variety of:muss:B,inch as Indigos.

have its functions deranged. The Liver, sympathizing
as closely as it does with the Stomach, then becomes af•

from several or more of the following diseases:

The sufferer from these diseases should exercise the
greatest caution In the selection of a remedy for hie
case, purchasing only that which be le assured from his
investigations and inquiries possesses true merit, is
skilfully compounded, is freefrom injurious ingredients,
and,has established for itself slept' tation for the cure
of thes e diseases. In this connection we would submit

PIELLADILPIIId, PA
Twenty-two eare since they were first introduced in
to this country from Germany, during which time they
have undoubtedly performed more cures, and benefited
suffering humanity to a greeter extent, than any other
remedies known to the public.
These remedies will effectually cure Liver Complaint,
Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Chronic or Nervous Debility
Chronic Diarrheas, DI84)11110 of the Kidneys, and all
Db Meet arising from a Disordered Liver, Btonnsch, or
Intestines.
DEBILITY,
Resulting from any Cause whatever
PROSTRATION OF THE SYSTEM,
induced by Severe Labor, Hard
ships, Exposure, Fevers, etc.

MYCHILD,IIOOIPM HOtT
My childhood ! 0, my childhood !
Where are those happy hours
I spent in joy and gladness.
Wittf,n thy fairy bowers?
Where aro the friends that sported
With me in life's young day,
And danced in youthful pleasure
Those sunny hours away ?
Long dreary hours of sorrow
Have slowly glided by,
Since last I played and sported
Beneath thy genial sky;
And yet, in dreams, I see thee,
Far down the silent past;
As far, and e'en as lovely,
As when I saw thee last.
And those I loved in childhood,
Como thronging round me now;
Which steals away the sadness
That sits upon my brow.
Once more we join in playing
Upon the level plain ;
While our young hearts are beating
With love and hope again.
O yes, these hours when memory
Falls gently on the breast;
Are like a summer evening,
Which lulls the soul to rest.
They waft the thoughts from sorrow
To scenes of fairest bloom ;
Then leave them gently musing
Beside time's early tomb.
WHEN TO LABOR AM) WHEN TO
As a general rule, the best portion of the
day for severe labor, mental or physical,
is before noon. The vital forces of the
body and brain, after the recuperation af
forded by a good night's rest, are then in
their best condition for active and effective
labor. The mind is clearer, fresher, and
more elastic, and . the muscles respond to
the mandate of the will with greater readi
ness and freedom. The experience of
many will seem to contradict this state
ment. For instance, persons who, from
necessity or otherwise, have formed the
habit of performing their hardest labors in
the afternoon or evening, will assert that
they can do it easier at such time than they
can in the morning, and true enough they
can, so long as they are subject to that
habit; but once let them discontinue that
course, and form the habit of doing their
hardest work in the early part of the day,
and they will soon perceive a decided im
provement In the ease with which their
work is performed, and also that they can
do more in the same length of time, and
with less fatigue, than they previously
could later in the day. As Nature indicates
the time to labor, so does she, even more
plainly, point out the time for rest. In tke
"still hours of night" Nature sleeps and
reale, and so should man. Man requires
on the average, when in health, about
eight hours' sleep out of the twenty-four,
and it should all be taken during the hours
of darkness. In sickness, it is often- well
for the patent not only to sleep all night, if
he can,-but also to sleep some in the day
time. In health day-sleep is unnecessary, If
night sleep can be had. Severe labor of any
kind should not be performed either a short
time before or soon after eating ; but light,
gentle exercise or recreation at such times
is not only not objectionable, but, for per
sons in health particularly, a decided advan
tage. No one aduld labor with the mind
or body while suffering from pain or fad!.

GETTYSBURG, PA., FRIDAY, JULY 31, 1868.
A mystery is the human heart,
'Tia understood by few;
And many times a cruel dart
Has pierced it through and through.
A harp composed of thoniami strings,
Arid tuned in concord sweet;
The cords when touched with gentle hands,
Yields heaven our soul to greet.
But when the strings are rudely struck,
"Whenoe melody should flow,"
Harsh, sad, discordant notes are heard,
Of melancholy woe.
A word, a look, will crush the jby,
That's beaming in the eye;
And oft in scenes of gayety,
Is heard, the heaving sigh.
A gentle tone, a loving smile,
In approbation given,
Will lift the drooping spirits up,
And render earth a heaven.
Ah 1 yee, oft times the simplest thing,
True happiness affords,
And glad emotions gayly spring
By kind, approving words.
How many times the sad heart feels
A longing to go horde—
To mingle with the angel band,
And feel their joy its own.
But still it lingers here below,
Its mission to fulfil,
And kind and loving angels 001316
And whisper, "peace, be still."
Bermes, July 20,1998.
[For the Star and Sentinel
TRAENLIG or DRUNKARDS.
Ma. Eortros :—Any one who boa thought
fully observed the workings of the vice of
intemperance for some length of time, can : .
not have failed to notice that many cases are
directly trainable to an unhealthy or corrupt
home influence. Here it has a peculiar ad
vantage over some other forms of evil In
dulgence. The depraved father is rarely
known to lead his son to gambling dens and
and haunts of pollution; he shims his no
tice here, while if intemperance becomes
his faWngs, he is often forsaken by any re
maining sense of shame.
In families of social distinction especially,
where the means of information and cal-.
tivation are most ample, the bottle in times
past has too often been, and is too often
now, the habitual accompaniment of the
dinner-table, and at all times within ready
access of the perchance dram-loving parent,
while its use was not withheld or scarcely
discountenanced in the son. The father of
fered the intoxicating cup to his guest, and
partook of it with him ; the son insensibly
formed the same habit. The father, both
in word and practice, set at, defiance that
widespread fast extending public sentiment
frhich condemned his cabin ; the son
giefried In showing his independetwe of
the `ibtme sentiments. The father drank at
his oiT and his friends' tables, at social en
tertainments and public dinners; he had
his wonted glass at the wonted hoar from
his own afrefully chosen stores.
But the to whom these opportunities
for wore more incoeupudens ar
unsatisfactory, Woon found his way with
congenial Oomparlions to drinking saloons
where thepecullar \ taste of each was con-
- =r - sna L "'d. ,
champaigne of the maternal soiree,for more
fiery draughts and speedier intexkants.—
The father grew rubicund and bloated ;—lte
was courteously said to be a ruddyand port
ly old gentleman, fur he maintained his oat;
ward dignity, and kept aloof from doubtful
places of public resort ; the eon soon show
ed In unmistakable lines the wear and tear
of midnight dissipation. It was whispered
in his own circle that he occasionally in
dulged to excess; while out of it, it was
boldly asserted by those who had the means
of 'mowing, that he often got drunk, and in
his misdirected efforts to reach home, lost
his decency of behavior, the control of his
gait, the government of his tongue, and
finally his way altogether, bringing up at a
much more humble and less honorable place
of shelter than that he sought—namely, the
watch house. He did not stop at this point,
but plunged into the depths of degradation
that lie below. His family strove hard to
hide his disgrace with their name and posi
tion, but "the covering is narrower Margie
can wrap himself in it." Their efforts at
that stage were powerless to prevent his
sinking, both in reality arid appearance, to
the level of the lowest inebriate that city
kennels rear and finally cast out. •
And this, as many can attest, has been
the career and fate of many a one for whom
nature had done much, and from whom for
tune had withheld nothing ; on whose edu
cation thousands had been spent, and who
had lacked no opportunities of mental and
social. culture, no means of acquiring knowl
edge and refinement—nothing but a sound
home influence on a radical point. A single
worm-eaten plank may came, the destruc
tion of a noble ship ; a single false principle
or fatal omission in training has often un
done a promising youth. J. 8. G.

OVA BABY.
♦ BACIIIILO/1 . 8 11.1:PKIOXIWN WITH IT.
It was a very pretty baby—that is, for a
baby. I had no !knit to find with it so far
as its individual identity was concerned.—
If babies must exist—and I suppose there
is a necessity for the thing, or else where
would all the grown people come from ?
this baby was as well in its way as any
other baby.
I mention these gams, merely to prove
that lamin no way prejudiced. Aa far as
mortal man can be, I am entirely an im
partial witness.
It was fast asleep in its, cradle,—a little
white-headed doll, with its long dark eye
lashes, and a crimson dot of a mouth,
against which lay its tiny fist, with five
well-defined dimples in the five joints there
of. It was fast asleep, I say, when Berths
came airily into the room.
"I am going over to the depot to see
mother off, Joseph. I'll be back in half an
hour. Just keep an eye to the baby, while
I am gone, will you ?"
I looked blankly at my sister. But while
I was considering how best to express my
total dissent from her audacious proposi
tion, she tripped out of the room, her rib
bons fluttering in the soft spring air.
Silence doesn't always give consent, but
Bertha bad taken it for granted, in this
matter, and I was left an unwilling guar
dian of my little nephew.
However, he was fast asleep ; that Vras
one circumstance in my favor. Mortal
baby couldn't present a more innocent and
cherubic aspect than he did. So I calmly
went on with my writing, soon becoming
oblivious to his infantile presence.
"Talk about tending babies," quoth I to
mpelf, dipping my goose-quill triumphant
ly in the ink, "why it's the easiest business
in life. I should never spend my money
hiring nurses, if that little one was mine ;
but women'never do know how to econo
miZe properly."
As these finales passed through my mind,
the baby - worked up and sneezed. - _
I gave the cradle an oscillatory kick, and
then burst tbrth into the well-known bur- ,
den of "Bye a baby bunting," but the little
villian absolutely declined to shut his eyes
again, like a sensible baby. He opened
than wider than two miniature moons,
stared at me with an air of malevolence
that made me a firm believer in human de
pravity ever since, and deliberately began
to cry. And the harder I rocked the cra
dle and the louder I sang, the more resolute
did that baby cry.
"He's hungry," thought I to myself.—
"Babies must be fed, and it's highly repre
hensible of Bertha to stay away so long."
So I went down into the pantry and -
stituted a search for some milk; which I
had a vague idea was the diet generally pre
ferred by toothless infancy. But milk
there was wine. Lamp oil, Stewart's
syrup, kerosene, brandy; everything but
milk was there ; every known or conceive
ble fluid, in aggravating profusion, but not
a drop of milk. '
All this time meanwhile, the roars of my
nephew, but slightly softened by distance,
followed me about like a Nemesis.
I rushed frantically up stairs, armed with
s lump of mum the eat soothing expe
dient that suggested itself to me.
"Bless its dear little heart, there, there ;
co nformA r••••••+.**.or*, VW/. * *.**l
Take its sugar from its own, own uncle,
mars a tltus golden boy."
Bat the golden boy rese'dely rejected the
sugar, screaming louder than ever ; as if Its
lungs were forty baby power, and warrant
ed never to tire out. It kicked and 'wog
gied, it pawed the air, it got purple in the
face. Ashes of King Herod and all the
Egyptians what was a man to do?
In rain I executed a war dance around
its cradle; in vain I rang the dinner bell,
and jingled the china ornaments, and wav
ed the feather duster, and swung my gold
repeater, and bawled nursery ballads at the
top of my lungs. Talk about presevemnce.
Robert Bruce's spider was nothing to that
atrocious little lump of mortality.
"There's nothing for it but to capitulate,"
said Ito myself, as I jammed my hat on
my head, viciously thrust my arm into my
overcoat, and seized the baby out of the
cradle.
Lesve it absolutely alone I dared not, and
the nearest grocery where milk was procur
able lay three blocks off !
Thus, ins sort of stony depair, I issued
forth from the house, carrying my penmen
tor likes bundle under one arm.
I thought he would stop crying when he
got into the open air, but not he ; oxygen
only seemed to increase the shrill power of
his villianous little pipes t People turned
to stare at'me, as if I were an escaped luna
tic or an abductor of infant innocence.—
Women looked indignantly at the baby.
Blue worsted socks and little pink legs
kicked blindly from beneath my arms.—
Children ran after me, dogs barked, but I
kept doggedly on my way ; walking into
the grocery with a resolution second only
to that of the Roman fellow who jumped
into a crater, nobody knows how many
years ago.
"A pint of milk, you please.'
"Milk, sir?: Have you brought anything
to put it in?" •
I thought of my tobacco box, my pocket
handkerchief, the corner of my hat, all of
the impracticable places for the deposit of
the laciesi fluid.
"I never thought of that!" I said, light
ing the baby, who came head uppermost
With a very crimson countenance, and eyes
looking defiantly Into mine ; eyes that said
as if they had spoken in so many syllables,
"I' won't stop crying I I'll die first!"
The storekeeper looked on sympatheti•
cally. •
"I could sell you anise little pitcher, sir,
My first indirect was kr run and flee Igno
miniously ; my second as to drop my
nephew and his milk intd - are gutter, and
resolutely deny all connection with them ;
my third prompted me to stand my ground.
"Yea, it is I, Miss Milton—a—tine day."
Hate eyed me dubiously, and no wonder.
One sock, curling and twisting as if a ser
pent were inside of it instead of a baby's
foot, appeared beneath my coat skirts,
flanked by about a quarter of a yard o f
.
Swiss embroidery and tucks, wofully cramp
ed by the fiery ordeal through which we
had both passed ; the milk (confound it !)
had dripped adown the full length of my
pearl-colored pantaloons, and my hat, bent
and bruised, was thrust rakishly on the side
of my head. I was gloveless, flushed and
dishevelled, and 'take me "for all in all,"
must have appeared considerably like a
pick-pocket, or an old clothes-man out for
a walk.
I passed on, followed by the sound of
faint, subdued laughter—a sound that stung
me to the quick.
So Kate and her companion were laugh
ing at me ; this was, indeed, the unkindest
cut of all. I resolved never to dance the
German with Kate Milton again.
The house was quiet and deserted as I
turned and inserted my night key in the
little circular lock. What could have be
come of Bertha? The cold dew oozed out
of my brow as I, for one instant, contem
plating the horrible possibility of my being
left, a sort of modern Robinson Crusoe,
with that diabolical little man Friday on
my hands.
Nonsense ! there was no probability of
that. I sat down on Bqrtha's low rocking
chair, and planting the baby firmly on my
knee, applied the spout of the pitcher to his
month.
Would you believe it,? He wouldn't
drink a drop. He screwed his mouth as
tightly shut as if he never intended to open
it again, and doubled himself over back
wards with a strength of will which would
have been remarkable in a full grown man,
but simply marvellous in a ten months old
baby. I persevered and he persevered. I
poured the milk over his neck, his embroid
ered dress waist, and his coral amulets ; he
would have been drowned sooner than to
open his mouth half a quarter of an inch.
Probably, of such stuff were our revolu
tionary fathers made ; and this baby had,
through some inscrutable blunder of Dame
Nature, come into the world just a century
too late.
I pat him back into the cradle, 43,11 t on his
spinal column. and looked at him more in
sorrow than in-anger.
"My youngster," I addressed him, "cry
your lungs out—break a blood vessel or two
if agreeable to you—fracture your trachea !
I can't be held legally responsible for it,
thank Providence!"
I took np a book and sat down by the
cradle, rocking it recklessly backwards and
forwards, regardless of the screams which
still rent the air. I wasn't going to waste
any more time in trying to quiet him. Let
him ci7! This is a free country !
"Why, Joe! what's the matter?'
It was Bertha's voice. I jumped up as if
a cannon ball bad smitten me, and dashed
my book upon the floor.
"Mattes, ma'am? matter? The matter
is that I'm going mad. I shall be a fit sub
ject for a lunatic asylum in just about fifteen
minutes more."
But I murn. Apr.-
pairing eloquence on a blank walL She
did not hear me. She was loading the little
wretch with caresses, pity and blandish
ments. And—l should not have credited
the sadden turn of affairs, if I hadn't wit
nessed it with my own eyes—the baby ab
solutely laughed up in her face as if to say
"I have given my uncle a pretty good time
of it."
"Has he been good, uncle Joe ?"
I looked volumes at my sister.
"Bertha, if you ever leave me again in
charge of that—that littleatrocity, I'll com
mit suicide."
"Yon needn't speak so loud," said my
sister, in an Injured voice. "I intended to
have been home before, but the train was
delayed, and—bless its heart, did it want to
come to mamma's arms—and was Uncle
Joseph crosser than an old bear, and wasn't
It the sweetest little rosebud that ever—"
I waited to hear no more, but rushed pre
cipitately out of the room, convinced
that of all fools a young mother was the
most hopeless specimen.
That's the last time I have had the heir of
the family confided to my guardianship. I
think Bertha a little afraid to leave me
alone in the room with him. "So mote it
be."
THE FIRE SIDE.
No leaseons leave a more abiding impres
sion than those which gently drop into the
mind at the fireside. No fun is more tick
ling, or leaves behind it less to regret. No
history if purer, as a whole, than fireside
history, and none lives lohger or more lov
ingly in remembrance. He who cannot look
forward with yearning desires to fireside en
joyments, as the staple enjoyments of his
life, is greatly to be blamed ; for the fire
side has its duties to be done, as well as its
pleasures to be realized. They who make
light of its sanctities, or who rise up in re
bellion against its spirit, or who wantonly
disturb its peace, or who poison its springs
of confidence with suspicion, or who intro
duce jeilousies within that charmed circle.
or whe profane it by aught that savors of
selfish despotism, break the spell which
environs it, and forfeit its rewards. It
should be the altar to which we bring our
dally . sacrifices—the turtle doves and young
igeons of home life—to offer them to the
genius of domestic unity. There is no
place where• we are more bound to "mind
the things of others" as our own, or more
gracefully display affection in trifles, or can
with more profit study to please others thin
ourselves. Forgetfulness of fireside duties
Indicates, to say the least, a deficiency of
disinterested love. A man cannot be truly
Judged by what he does before the world.
AU manner of selfish motives may urge
him to wear in that broad theatre the dress
of sanctity, or courage, or courtesy, or
patience, or considerateness, "that . he may
be seen of men." But it is at his own fire
side that he best short himself,' when he
casts aside the garments of pretence, and

THE ORAIW.CHILDREN ARE CO3l.
ISO.
By 111CSBY WARD
A.tor all, what is the use? We set up
our house, and one by our children fly
into it, like birds , out of some foreign wood
Into a cage—one, two, three, four and more.
With each one comes also a cry ; and that
is the key note to which a hundred sorrows
add their voices and gradually swell into
that strange chorus which men call human
life ! For each child there is to be fringe
of care on the edge of every day. Each
child brings burdens and anxieties. Tears
in their eyes ore but harbingers of many
more in the eyes of all who love them:
To shape them from inftuicy to goodness,
to teach their hands, to drill their heads, to
repair their mistakes and secure their firm
footing in an honorable manhood--who can
measure the thought, the feeling, the en
deavors? And then, when the long task is
done, is them no compensation? Or do
they not, one by one, detach themselves,
and like comely fruit fall from the bough
on which they grow, leaving it bare and
empty ?
That daughter—just as she began to be a
full companion, to repay all the labor of her
training—is snatched away by some ono
who has known her fewer weeks than the
parents have years. She goes. The house
is empty of her. Her rooms, her drawers,
her books and school tasks, fondly preserv
ed, carry a sadness to- the mother's heart
every time they are looked upon!! The
boys, almost before you dream that they
have ceased to be boys, cone asking the
father's blessing on a new corner. By the
time that father and mother arc conscious
of age and infirmity, the whole brood is
scattered and gone. The old home is soli
tary. It used to be straightened for room
when all the children were at home ; but
now there is room too much. It used to
be unquiet and noisy, but now one might
doze all day for all the noise that is made.
Only the fire, snapping out suddenly, jot 4
the drowsy old clock ticking behind the
door, or a kitten mewing to get in, or to
/ get out, or a squeaking mouse or rat, make
any audible noise. When children are all
at home, a man is like a Norway spruce,
whose well grown branches, beg,Aing
front the level of the ground, rise up in a
perfect pyramid, shaping the tree to ex
quisite proportion. But each child married
is a bough lopped off leaving a wide space
until the parent trunk is finally trimmed up
like a shaft, and all the verdure left clings
about the top.
In European communities the children
often marry and settle down around their
childhood home. But this is rare in Amer-
Ica. The endless circulation that is going
on sweeps away the children; and to be
married is almost synonymous with going
fer away from home.
All this, Mr. Bonner, describes my state
of mind last week. It is very different
now. Word has come that the grand
children are coming hopie. Coming home?
What ! both the children? and their moth
er? for a good long visit? Bless their little
hearts, let them come. There's nothing in
This house too good for them. Now, then,
we shall have a household once more.—
Children are the flowers which God sends
down from heaven to enliven and cheer this
life. What was I saying, a little back,
about the care, and anxiety, and pain, and
trouble, of bringing them up? Stuff—mere
sm. Mr. Bonner, I assure you. Don't be
lieve a word of it. I wa.s.surely in a
It was half night-mare. I am awake now ;
and d• assure you that he who is fit to have,
and to rear children, will see ten—yes, a
hundred joys to every sot row ; and the sun
ague of their smiles will turn into rain
bows every tear which they shed or cause
to be shed.
If there is anything in this world that
pays as it goes along, it is taking care of
children. Raising flowers is all very well.
But flowers have in them no mischief;
they behave to• well, they lack human na
ture, they need the iridescent qualities of
disposition that flash from every surface of
a child's life. Children a troukle ? Do
they pont ? fret ? disobey ? and go wrong ?
Don't you wish your asters and honey
suckles would show as much life ? What
would you give to have a singing vine, or
a flower that could learn to say its prayers?
Why, trouble in She nursery is a parent's
pastime. If one don't believe it let him be
left for awhile without children. He will
soon be glad to hear that the grand-children
are coming home.
Well, we must get ready for them. Let
the drawers be filled with candy. Get out
the crib, and put up the dear little nairow
bed again.
Hunt up the dolls, the wagons, the play
houses, the picture books, the strings.
Where are the tall chairs for the table, and
the little cups, and knives and forks for a
child's hand? It looks like living again ?
Now we shall be waked up in the morn-
ing by a chubby rogue climbing np on the
bed, and playing tricks with my eyes and
nose! Then will come the trooping down
to breakfast, and all the table antics. Then
we will all go up to family prayers—and
what a time those children will make of it.
Children are not natural worshippers.
But how patient we will be! Nothing
shall fret us. Already we are more robust,
and shall let out the buckle of our girdle
one or two holes. In short, the grand
children are coming ; and, in bringing
themselves back to us, they bring back the
childhood of their parents too, and bring
us back to ourselves I—Ledger.

is a fixed institution. It cannot be elevatr
ed or directed forward When attention is
aroused. Hence its function is limited. It
cannot give signs either of attention or ap
preciation In conversation. Thus, as ' a
writer in Blackwood well says, we do our
moat effective listening with our eyes. And
in many regards listening is - far more 'effec
tive in impressing a conversational
_com
peadon than speech. No unspoken affront
short of absolute rudeness rouses resent
ment as readily as wandering attention
manifested in wandering.glances. A man's
thoughts are wont to follow his eyes, and
be engrossed by what they see rather than
by what he hears. Thus, though a :peak
ng eye is a rare social gift, a listening eye
is even more rare and valuable.

AlOut eight menthe ego a drug clerk In
Nashville Captured a burly rattlesnOta,
about four feet long and sporting eight km-
Ufa, "and a button." Re brought It home
a Prisoner, prepared a handsome glass .case
for Its reception, and has since 'devoted his
leisure to the study and care of the reptile,
and three other varietice of snakes which
he, from thno to time, secured and placed In
the mate case.
Those snakes lived In perket harmony.
The one with tho rattles befog quite the
largest, paid no attention to his companions,
and they, to reciprocate,
,paid no etttentlon
to him. In relation to the former the
gentlemah gives the following interesting
particulars :
About two months after his capture, ills
snakeship changed his coat by shedding his
skin. This he accomplished lushest order.
Being prepared he commenced. by striking
his head against the side of the case until
the skin was disengaged, - and then, by a
skillful series of convulsions, he came out
with a new suit, glistening bright—We
whole process oecupying, twenty or thirty
minutes. During the present year ho has
"shed" three times—in May, July, and a
few weeks ago—and it is presumed this is
his regular habit.
His diet Is light. For two months after
capture he could be induced to take nothing
on his stomach. For nine, months he only
ate one mouse and nothing else, and was fur
about that length of time without eating
anything at all. Within the last two months
he had a better appetite, and swallowed thir
ty-six of these dainty little creatures. His
method is to "strike" the mouse with his
fangs, and after he is dead he takes it in his
mouth, and then "down it goes" in a very
few moments. Ho drinks nothing stron . ;,r
than water, and
.only takes this "thin bever
age" about three times a year. Most of the
time he is perfectly quiescent slee: , a gre.a.
deal ; when restless, glides within the case vs
if seeking to make his escape, but makes no
violent demonstrations.
Latterly he has had three companions—a
chicken snake, a black, and a spotted bush
snake. The first of these took a mouse a
few weeks ago ; the others nothing. Some
six or eight mice have been kept constantly
in the case, but for sonic week have been
unmolested.
A few days ago a fresh mouse was put in.
He took a view of the situation and resolved
upon fight. He first "went for" the least of
the surrounding "evils." Grasping the least
surpcnt, ho severed his head from his bod.
He then, after a brief pause, attackcal the
next larger, cutting off the extremity of his
tail. In this case ho met with resistance,
and was several times bitten, but persisted
until he had killed his enemy.
Going for the "chicken snake, - he movcil
upon its center, was several times striekir,
but continued the contest with remarkable
coolness and perseverance. When in very
close quarters, he would retreat and take
breath.
In tie midst of this fight the rattlesnake
became aroused and moved excitedly about
within the case. The mouse, esteeming
this an act of hostility, pounced upon his
new foe with desperate courage biting hint
about the head, along the sides and upon
the back.
He received fearful warning in the rattling
of his snakeship, but received no wound
from him. Quitting this one, he would re
turn to the other and renew , 'his persistent
assault, and for twenty-for^ hours he thus
continued the struggle.
The poison lie had received then began to
work ; he sickened ; retired to a corner of
the case, and in a few hours expired. This
is perhaps the most heroic passage to be
found in the "Universal History of the
Mouse." He. was taken out and buried,

funeral note," but amid the silent sorrow of
admiring friends.
REVIVAL Or THE REBELLION
The Democratic platform and the Dem
ocratic candidates arc understood by the
South to mean another war. The decl.ma
lion that the Reconstruction acts of Con
gress are "unconstitutional, revolutionary
and void," is declared by prominent cx-
Rebel Generals to mean exactly what Mr.
Blair says it does mean —a determination to
"disperse" the State Governments, and
"trample under foot" Congress itself. Wade
Hampton declared at the ratification meet
ing in New York, on Thursday week, that
his party must seize the polls in the South.
and halie the white veto cast alone. lie
declared :
"I want you all to resister an oath that
when they do vote their vote shall Ir! ~ount
ed, and if there is a majority of white
votes, that you will placo Seymour and
Blair in the White House in spite of all the
bayonets that shall be brought against
them."
Of course he mesas that the mob thin to
be raised shall decide who has "a majority
of white votes!" ,
But this language was evidently carefully
r "opted to the latitude and to the somewhat
sensitive cars of Governor Seymour's
"friends." But when the Southern delegates
got to Richmond they told the people Inure
plainly what . they meant.
Thus ex- Confederate Gcycruor Vance, o:
North Carlolina said at Richmond, he
could talk more familiarly of the:wrongs of
the South here than at the North." Accord
ingly, he declared himself still "a Re
and argued at length that "what Mc Coa
federacy fought for would bc won
the election of 'Seymour and Blair."
Indeed, in the Richmond atmosphere
there is a disposition to simplify the CaIIV:L,-;
to this one issue—Seymour and the
lion against Grant and the 'Union. Thus
ex-Governor Wise, in eloquent way,
reasoned that since the candidates were ac
ceptable to the Rebels, tire platform was or
no accanuat at all.
"lie ditcnot care for the platform. It
told a lie in its first resolution. It +said
Secession was .dead; that was not so.
Secession was more alive that ever. lie
supported the nominees, and especially
Blau, because be had declared that he
would assume military power."
Now Mr. Bucks.lew, Senator from Penn
sylvania, rashly denounces Mr. Blair and
his letter, and protests that the Democratic
party does not, and cannot, !Ivan to sustain
him, and to make war against the Southern
State Governments and against Congress.
Mr. Buckalew is wrong. Ile stands en
tirely alone, and must eithei retract airthis,
and adopt Blair and anarchy, or leave his
party. The fact is, the Democratic party
has clearly and unequivocally put, itself
upon the Rebel platform. Poth the North
ern and the Southern wings of the party
are outspoken in their revival of the treason
of 1861, and treason chn only be dismissed
by allowing a margin for plain talk respect
ing traitors.—Batt. American.
