They are languid, devoid of all energy, extreme ly nervous, and have no appetite. To this class of persons the BITTERS, or the TONIC, is especially recommended.

[Written for the SrY.] LITTLE THINGS. This world is governed by small things The mighty operations of nature are com pleted by slow processes, small causes, and slight, unperceived movements. Old ocean, with all its vastness, its heav ing billows, its tremendous surges, its wild roarings, is yet composed of *small globules, so minute indeed, that they are undiscern able to the outer vision. Look at it when lashed by fierce winds into an element of fury. See, as the waves mount up in air and peer over the devoted ship in mocking grandeur—as man's noble work—the proud ship floats beneath them, and us it conics thundering down, striking to annihilation the noble vessel, and to a speedy death and watery grave its human freight. And could you comprehend this great achieve ment the result of such small forces? When, too, erises in its "wild play," separates and discomforts whole fleets, that the most powerful nation has in vain attempted to withstand ; tell me, then, if we. should treat with contempt , small things ? The earth—arrayed in all its power and beauty, 'tis but the, gathering together of atoms—mere grains. When this earth trembles and quakes, cities and towns are shook from their foundation, and crumble into nothingness. These grains, piled up I LA "Alp's t... Lm t. Alps" Itrie„4triking us ( ' 'atoms their grandeur and greatniksi. ' If, then, the ocean and earth -are but 'atoms Collected together, and produce such great results ; and if man's life—a greater than they all—should be shown to be a con tinuation of small things, whence comes that affected contempt which some evince for little things, and to those whose actions are controlled by appu•ently trifling elr calnkances. Let us make it plainer. Many of us will cherish as a precious memorial, as a valued .treasure, some trilling article which would be hooted at by others. This article might• derive its great worth because it has been surrounded by peculiar associations. It may have been in possession of some dear and valued friend, and a treasure of theirs, or indeed, a slight matter of appreciation with them. But they have gone from us, and now it receives at our hands a ten-fold value. With what secret delight you secrete away in some little nook or crevice of the heart, any slight testimonial of a friend's affection that has left you. How often you will recur to it when alone ; and muse upon it when you feel assured no human eye looks upon you. Nor can these things be publicly set forth, for no other eye could see it as you do. No other heart feel it, or appreciate its worth, us yours. TheSe are then the heart secrets, about whieh, another intermeddleth not. Some word or passing remark will fix itself in the memory, and as that will come -up you are taken into the warm, loving association 'of friends and friendships. Who has not read those deeply touching lines of the " Old Arm Chair,", and bas.not felt the tear of affection gathering in his eye, or his heart tilling up and responding with: a *nial affection to the pathos of them,' its'iie feels an appropriateness to some 011.14ya.SSOCillti011 of his own. Gratineion, falls, any harsh or unkind remark t.tpiin the soul, of disrespect for any of the friends we love ; tearing, as it would seem, _the tenderest strings of the heart assunder. -Perhaps', we are too apt to think that all With whom we intermingle should feel the promptings that animate our own bosotn; 'though they may never have had of the associations that have fallen to our. lot, But all such should remember that there is scarce anything on earth, ex cept religion itself, so holy and puro in its true spirit, and so well calculated to elevate our sOuls,a hove the common affairs of life, as a disposition to cherish the words and mementoes of those who have left us. It is ennobling in its, character and results, and should never be dampened or destroyed by rudeness or un exhibition of disrespect. Many have felt this influence, and, too often has it been chilled by the uncourteous remarks of those with whom these heart secrets may have been confided. 'Let us smile and sympathize with all whom We meet here below, it will do them and ourselves good, and we shall be better and more elevated for it. ' S. S. G. A Ludicrous Spectacle. Dogs and women afire the concomitants of a Cologne team, writes a correspondent of the Springfield Republican: " Belgium is said to afford the most shocking spectacles of woman labor, but I cannot imagine any thing worse than at Cologne. If God had not given constitutions of iron to these burly Prussian girls, their lot would have been insufferable ; but, as it. is, they seem 'Oahe reasonably' happy in the task of drag ging a heavy cart all day, with assistants in the shape of a huge dog attached to each shaft. I saw a ludicrous spectacle, which I shall never forget,•as I was waiting the bridge of boats over the Rhine at Cologne. The guardians of the bridge had swung open the draw to -allow a vessel to pass• through and the result was a blockade td' the Cologne 'teams' on the side of the river next'to me. , There was a long train of milk carts, each one drawn by a diminutive arrested before the bridge,_ and the ann coming out rather warm, and the fleas in the shaggy jackets of the canines doubt less becoming very lively, each dog seemed ,suddenly seized with a desire to investigate `not only his own fleas but those of his neighbor; and a series of spasmodic bitings, bowls, and recriminations with teeth and claws took place, to which even the pencil of Dore could not have done justice. The milkmaids could not arrest the proceedings —the train got gradually entangled, the howls grew more and mire vehement, milk cans flew, and the pavement grew white, but the contest was irrepressible, and when I left, three black dogs had succeeded in freeing themselves from the vile tram mels of their shafts, and were [Administer ing salutary punishMent to, two yellow curs, with pointed ears, who had been the cause of the principal disturbance." A Singing Mouse. • The Dayton, (Ohio,) Ledgerhas the follow ing:—" One of the greatest curiosities of the age may be seen at Julius Bornstolin's cigar store, on Third street. It is no inure or less than a singing mouse. On several occasions Mr. B. had. heard something singing and whistling about his store after the manner of a canary. He was much puzzled to know whened the strange sound came. A few days ago he discovered the object of his curiosity. It was a common sized gray mouse, and, having duly sot his trap, ho caught the little fellow. He now has it caged and on exhibition, and hun dreds are flocking to see the little singist, and •hear its sweet musical notes. One afternoon the little creature became tired and refused to sing, when Mr. Bornstein's brother commenced playing on a violin, and the mouse at once fell to and did the best it knew how to fill its part of the programme. Little, we presume, did poo plc think who flocked to see and hear the music, that its musical cry was the cry of pain. • We believe it is now generally admitted that the mouse never sings only when he suffers the must acute agony. The cause of his suffering is a parasite in the liver; this parasite bores its way into the delicate organ making it the seat pain ; and, when in deep distress, the little animal crouches down and gives utterance to a soft, plaintive cry, resembling in cadence a low bird-like song. It is pleasant to think that from the very depths of woe and misery often .bubble the sweetest lir- monies." TIIE PUBLIC REBUKE. ANECDOTE OF JUDGE WHITE The late lamented Judge Hugh L. White, of Tennessee, became conspicuous at a very early period in life, as a jurist and states man. He fixed his permanent home amidst the scenes of his youthful sports and the companions of his boyish days. Rarely has a young man, continuing in his own coun try and among his own kindred, so soon attained such literary and political pre-em inence. From his youth the Judge was characterized for profound reverence fur the ordinances of the gospel. He was a regular attendant at the house of worship. And while ho was a Presbyterian, that being the church of his father and the church of his choice, he was benevolent and generous towards other branches of the great Christ i inn family. Hegave to the Methodist church . at I:nlitville, - tile — grountl - on -whirl.' thblr house of worship was built; and occasion ally he would appear in the congregation and join with them in their worship. Now, in those days, there was a notable Presiding Elder in that region, called leather Axley, a pious, laborious; uncompromising preacher of the gospel, who considered it his duty to rebuke sin whenever it should presume to lift up its deformed head with in the limits of his district. And. while Father Axley was a man of respectable tal ents, undoubted piety and great minister ial fidelity, he had moreover a spice of hu mor, oddity and drollery about him that rarely failed to impart characteristic tinge to his performances. The consequence was, that amusing anecdotes of the sayings and doings of Father Axle} , abounded through out the country. On a certain day a number of lawyers and literary men were together in the town of Knoxville, and the conversation turned on preachers and preaching. One and another had expressed his opinion of the perform ances of this and that pulpit orator, when at length Judge White spoke up— " Well, gentlemen, on this subject each man is of course entitled to his own opinion ; but I must confess that Father Axlez. , brought tile to a sense of my evil deeds, at least a portion of thorn, more effectually than nov preacher I ever heard." At this, every eye and ear was turned, for Judge White was never known to speak lightly on religious subjects, and moreover, was habitually cautious and respectful in his remarks about religious men. The company now expressed the most urgent desire that the Judge should give the par ticulars, and expectation stood on tip-toe. "I went up," said the Judge, "one even ing, to the lifethodist church. A sermon was preached by a clergyman with whom I was not acquainted, but Father Axley was in the pulpit. At the close of the sermon ho arose, and said to the congregation, 'I our not going to detain you by delivering an exhortation, I have risen merely to admin ister a rebuke for improper conduct, which I have observed here to-night.' .chis of course waked up the entire assembly, and the stillness was profound, while Axley stood and looked for several seconds over the congregation. Then stretching out his large, long arm, and pointing with Iris linger steadily in one direction, he said, 'Now I calculate that those two young men, who were talking in that corner of the house, while the brother was preaching, think I am going to talk about them. Well, it is trite, it looks very bad, when well dressed young men, who you would suppose, from their appearance; belonged to some respect able family, to come to the house of God, and instead of reverencing the majesty of Him that dwelletb therein, or attending to the message of Mr dasti -lt - tt tc gather in ono (Jona( at all times pointing the aim of a rifle= whole solemn servi ing, laughing and the minister, dist and sinning again young men.

I'm sorry he did not know better. I hope he will never do so again. But, however, this is not what I was going to talk about.' Thus Father Alley went on, for some time, 'boxing the compass' hitting a ntimber of",persons 'and things that he was not going to talk - aboht, and hitting hard till the attention and euri-' osity of the audience were raised to 'the highest pitch, when finally he remarked— " `The thing of which I was going to talk was chewing tobacco. Now Ido hope when any gentleman comes to church, who can't keep from using tobacco during the hours of worship, that. he will just take his hat and use it for a spit-box. You all know we are Methodist. You all know that our cus tom is to kneel when we pray. Now any gentleman may see in a moment how ex ceedingly ineonvenientlt must'be for a welt dressed Methodist lady to be compelled to kneel down in a puddle of tobacco spit.' "Now," said Judge White, "at this time I had in my mouth an uncommonly large quid of tobacco. Axley's s ingarl a r manner and train of remark strongly arrested, my attention. While he was stirring to the right and left, hitting those ' things' that he was not going to talk about, my curiosity was busy to find out what he could be aiming at.

Western Editor's Description of Pittsburgh. • Pittsburgh people never have fresh air, except when out of town. They live on coal smoke and floating cinders.. We inhaled seven tones of coal the tirat hour we were there. The people breathe smoke, eat smoke, chew smoke, and carry it loose in therir coat po'ckets. It is now seventy two years since Pittsburgh has been warmed or reached by the 'sun's rays. Onee:l streak of sunshine for several years condensing . , undertook to penetrate the cloud of smoke over the city, got lost, be came smoked, and fell like a standing editor of the Black Crook! The ladies use smoke and coal dust to protect their complexion. Little boys and girls stand on the corners with wet brooms and sponges to wash people's faces for live cents. Everybody is of a color in Pitts burgh. At the post °thee window the clerk distinguishes people by-certain signs, it being impossible to see their faces for the. layers of coal - dust :mil smoke. We saw a little boy crying on the street because he had lost his fathei., who was six feet ahead of him. • Every one wears mourning I Pittsburgh. A barber once went there to color hair and whiskers.

The hus band saw dimly, recognized Saxon cuticle, clasped his wife to his bosom and held her there so long in joyful embrace that the tti' cuss in the cistern was drowned ; the lamp went out, and a boy was lost forever. Bed-clothes are unknown in Pittsburgh— leave the window open and sheets of smoke settle upon you like newspapers from a machine press! Some years since some snow fell into the city through the cloud of smoke—the smoke was not hurt, but the snow looked sick ! Men carry lanterns to see to shake hands. When looking at a watch to see the hour, it is the fashion to light a match. They make black broad cloth by hanging a spider's web out till tilled with smoke, and use hot, coal dust for pepper. They roll the smoke, sweetened, into sticks and sell it for lig noricel Mysterious Disappearance. ,About a year :Igo two young men who passed for brothers—John and Frank Howard—came to this section of country, opening in partnership house and sign painting establishments at Pottstown and Plmenixville. They were intelligent, good workmen, got into business, entered society, took part in religious meetings— John at Pottstown, professing to be a Baptist, and Frank at Pimmixville, Methodist—were Good Templars, teachers at Sunday School, 5,;(2,.. By and by both got nmrried, to respectable young ladies of means. All wont well until recently, John making arrangements to go in partnership in a store here, and Frank assisting his wife in a store she owned at Phoenixville. Suddenly both men went away, avowedly to go home to Massachusetts, (where they pretended to hail from,) to get money to go into business—but as three or four weeks have elapsed, and they are still among the, the missing, it is generally believed they are swindlers, and have gone elsewhere with a view of playing the same dishonora ble game. John Howard is $3OO to WO in debt in Pottstown; end Frank is sr al to have obtained a considerable sum of money belonging to his wife. It is barely possible that they may turn up yet, or that they have been foully dealt witlt; but neither we, nor the wronged ones they have left 'mob =lf [WHOLE NUMBER, "2,013. atria and Moustlfold.Oksininu.

As the house-cleaning time will soon be here, it may not be amiss to say a few words in regard to whitewaSbing. There are many receipts published, but we believe the following to be the best that can be used. White Chalk is the best 'substitute for lime as a wash. A very line and brilliant whitewash prep - aration of - chalk is called "Paris White." This, we buy at the paint stores for three cents a pound, retail. For each sixteen pounds of Paris White we procure half a pound of the white'transpar ent glue; costing twenty-five cents :(fihy cents a pound.) The sixteen younds of Paris White is about as iniichWal76.73on' will use in a day. It is prepared as fol lows: The glue is covered with cold water at night, ;rid in the morning is carefully heated, without scorching, until dissolved. The Paris White is stirred in with hot water enough' to give it the proper milky consis tency for applying to the walls, and the dissolved glue is then added and thoroughly mixed. It is'then applied with a brush like the common Iliac whitewash. Except on very dark and smoky wails and ceil ings, a single coat is sufficient. It is nearly equal in brilliancy to "zinc white," a lhr more expensive article.

Here it is: ,Don't feed too much. That is all ; though we may add that food should never be given to fowls unless they are hungry enough to 'run crazy' after it; and just as soon...as they stop running crazy, you stop throwing feed, and never—no, never—leave feed lying .by. your .fowls,rfot. , tfikem to -eat at.

GRAFTING WAX.—Grafting wax may be made by melting tog,ethei resin, tallow, and beeswax, in such proportions as to be pro perly softened by warmth, but never to melt and run in the sun's rays. Three parts of resin, three of beeswax and two of tallow, make a good wax. Four parts of resin, two of tallow, and one of beeswax, for a cheap composition, but is more troublesome by adhering to the hands. These are' to be melted and well stirred together, and may be brushed -over muslin for plaster, or worked with wet bands and drawn out in to ribbons, for wrapping around the graft.

PoTA.To Boas.—Mr. David Smith, atit old geittleman living at Boscobel, last seamen found a nest of large black ants, and, securing them in a cage or hive, placed them in his potato patch, which was infested with the bug, giving thorn a chance to run out. They im mediately set about constructing ant hills and then went at the bugs, completely cleaning them out. Black ants are a great nuisance about at house, but if they will destroy the potato bugs, we say let them conic. on, every million of them.— Wisconsin Farmer. T. a CAMPIIVIA., of filer/ Hti N.
