And favors more than words impart
To many weary souls below.

And hears the humble prayer and eigh ;

He censures none, nor neighbor blames,
Nor twists his noblest traits to faults;
Nor slanders, envies,, nor inflames
To sinful Violence their thoughts
The injuries of man forgives,
And wipes them from memory's page;
And all wrong feelings he outlives,
By giving Waco to no vile rage.
For evil ho returns not wrath,
To enemies he shows no hate ;
And for mischief no evil hath
But friendly caution, temperate
The griefs and anxious fears of men
His own compassion sure excites;
The weight of their misfortune then
He kindly feels and mitigates.
He heals the vain disputes of men,
And quells the raging storms of wrath,
And thus prevents much strife, and spleen,
And animosity and grief.

LETTER OF
HON. C. R. BIICKALEW
The Hon. C. R. BIICKALEIV sent the
following letter in reply to an invitation to
address the Democratic Central Club of
Philadelphia on the 23d of February :
To P. McCALL, Esq., Chairman of Com
mittee :
DEAR SIR : In response.to your friendly
invitation, I have to express some views
upon public topics, which may be submit
ted to your meeting on the 23d instant.
And I do this very cheerfully, although I
cannot know that any words of mine will
deepen popular conviction upon the neces
sity of changing our rulers and overthrow
ing their present policy, or quicken popu
lar zeal for the accomplishment of these
important objects.
A conviction that the country is mis
governed, the war mismanaged, and liberty
itself in peril, is growing up in the public
mind, and thousands ate alert, inquisitive,
and critical, who gave to Government un
calculating and enthusiastic support, found
ed upon complete confidence, twelve
months ago. The day of blind, headlong
passion, and of confident, unquestioning
trust in our rulers has passed, and the
electoral duties of the citizens will now be
discharged with a more intelligent com
prehension than was possible in the earlier
months of the war.
The sure result of this will be to per
fect the political revolution in the North
and West, begun by the late elections, and
to exclude the Republican party, with its
sectional passions, its fanaticism, its cor
ruption, and its incapacity, permanently
from power.
But can this be accomplished in time to
save the country? to preserve its unity
and liberty 1 And if these vital objects
can be secured, either sooner or later, by
the restoration of the Democratic party to
power, upon what policy shall that party
act in their attainment l• These questions
are timely and important enough to occupy
the space and leisure now at my bommand.
Complete control in the State Government
can be secured to our party' in October
next. Control of the Federal Government
can be obtained by it a year later, in the
election of President, assuming that the
renovation of Congress, now begun, shall
go on and be consummated by that time.
The time here mentioned must elapse
before power can be completely lodged in
safe handqj before the work of reconstruct
ing the Union, and thoroughly reforming
the Government can be performed. In the
meantime, how much of calamity must we
undergo To what measures of evil must
we be subjected ? The public debt will be In addition to the signal advantages
swollen enormously ; a financial crash may which will be secured to our cause by re
come sweeping away private fortunes, and l versing the policy of the Administration—
crippling public credit and power ; and it ;-by establishing other and truer doctrines
is not impossible that in an hour of deeper- I than those just examined—the Democracy
ation oar rulers may abandon the war, and ;loan takeinto account as one of the agen
plass, A% barrier 4.,a. bact3rpioy, ,or ! i sies,for,Fotorin the Union, the powerful
impertinence of a foreign mediation, in the
way of re-union. Unquestionably, there
are great dangers in the immediate future,
and apprehension of evil is timely, and
justified by the events of the past two
years. But during this period of danger,
of trial, of peril—this interval which sepa
rates us from the day ofthe relief and secu
rity—what shall be the attitude of our
party toward the Administration and Ithe
war This question may reasonably be
asked by the thousands in this State, and
by the thousands in other States who are
willing to join it and assist in the redemp
tion of the country.
The question may be answered, in part,
by referring to the past. The object .of
the war was announced in the outset by a
Resolution of Congress, which went out
North and South, and to foreign countries,
as the platform of the Government in its
prosecution. That resolution announced
the object of the war to be the defence and
maintenance of the supremacy of the Con
stitution and the preservation of the Union,
with all the dignity, equality and rights of
the several States unimpaired, and ex
plicitly denied that it was waged in any
spirit of oppression, or for any purpose of
conquest or subjugation, or purpose of
overthrowing or interfering with the rights
or established institutions of the Southern
States.
This clear and emphatic resolution was
accepted and approved by the Democracy,
by the Border States, and by conservative
men generally, and thereupon all the mag
nificent resources of the country in men
and money were put at the disposal of the
Administration, for the prosecution of the
war in accordance therewith, and it has
had command of those resources unop
posed and almost unquestioned down -to
this hour.
But the time came when this ground, of
a contest for the supremacy of the Consti
tution and the preservation of the Union,
became, in the policy of the Administra
tion, connected with if not subordinated
to, another and different object. The tinsel
rhetoric of Sumner, the dictatorial utter
ances of G-reely, and the rabid violence of
Phillips and Garrison, became of more.
consequence at Washington than the views
of the great majority of the people and the
pledged faith of the nation. A policy of
emancipation was announced, involving
enormous expense, doubling the difficulties
of the contest., and in flat contradiction of
the solemn declaration upon the object of
the war, just recited. And this was done
by Presidential decree—the fiat of a single
man—without authority, and at the in
stance of a man who would be among the
very last selected by the American people
to advise their rulers.
To this, and to all like departures from
the Constitution and from good faith and
sound policy, we are, and must remain,
unalterably opposed. 1 say like departure,
for the pretence of military necessity upon
which emancipation has been announced,
has been extended to other subjects besides
the status of the negro, as the debates of
the day abundantly testify. The seizure of
citizens in States untouched by revolt, and
their incarceration in distant prisons, re
mote from witnesses who might testify in
their favor, and from friends who might
intercede for. them is one of the most
prominent of these, and deserves all the
condemnation it is receiving from the peo
ple.
The father of his Country, the anniver
sary of whose birth you celebrate, had no
conception of a doctrine of military neces
sity as a substitute for the Constitution
and laws of the land ; nor of those unde
fined, unlimited powers, now asserted to
exist in the President as Commander-in-
Chief of the Army and Navyof the United
States and of the militia of the States
when called into actual service; nor can
we recognize them except as baseless pre
tensions, to be put down with strong pub-
lie disapprobation at the earliest possible
moment. Washington's views of military
jurisdiction and conduct in a time of in
surrection, were given to the army sent
by him to quell the revolt in Western
Pennsylvania in 1794; when he admon
ished them, that every officer and soldier
will constantly bear in 'mind that be comes
to support the laws, and that it would be
peculiarly unbeoowing in him to be in any
way the infractor of them ; that the essen
tial principles of a free government confine
the province of the military when called
forth on such occasions, to these two
objects : first, to combat and. subdue all
who may be found in arms in opposition to
the national will and authority ; secondly,
to aid and support the civil magistrates in
bringing offenders to justice. ' The dis
pensation of this justice belongs to the civil
magistrates, and let it ever be our pride
and our glory to leave the sacred deposit
there inviolate.'
In the spirit of this admonition, and of
the Constitutional doctrine that ' the mil
itary shall, in all cases, and at all times,
be in strict subordination to the civil
power,' we must stand 'opposed to the
abuse of the military power in applying it
to other purposes than those appointed
and regulated by- law ; as the seizure of
private property of non-combatants not
legally liable to confiscation ; the seizure
of hordes of negroes, and their support,
instruction, transportation, drill and pay
ment, as allies ; the seizure and imprison
ment of Northern freemen, without law
and against it ; the suppression of news
papers, or the closing of the mails against
them, and the encroachment upon the
State jurisdiction by the appointment of
sundry police officials to exercise powers
undefined by and unknown to the laws.—
What is asked is that the military power
shall be applied and confined to its appro
priate uses ; that there shall be no invasion
upon liberty by it ; in short, that it shall
be subjected to the domination of estab
lished laws. And we are perfectly per
suaded that Government will be all the
stronger, all the more successful by follow
ing this policy and sternly refusing to yield
to the temptations which assail those en
,trusted with authority in revolutionary
times. Let our rulers carefully imitate
1 the example of Washington, who exercised
military powers in the Revolution with con
stant respect for the laws and the author
ity of the lintinental Uongress, unsettled
as the time -were, and fruitful of pretexts
for departure from regular and legitimate
action.

and invaluable aid of allies in the Border
and Confederate States—men who have
gone into revolt reluctantly, or who now
stand with divided inclinations, uncertain
of the position they shall assume. The
inane of > the war has always depended as
much upon the determination and union of
the Confederate Stake as upon the magni
tude of the efforts Put forth by us against
them. Manifestly, therefore, our true line
of policy has been to divide them . ; to con
cilitate a part of their population, and
dampen the ardor of the revolutionary
spirit by subjecting it to conservative op
position in the very communities where it
arose. The subjugation of the South by
the mere exertion of ptry,sical force against
it, assuming it to be really united and in
earnest, is a work of extreme difficulty,
and requires an amount of wisdom and
vigor which our Administration has failed
to exhibit. In a war of invasion upon the
South, most formidable natural obstacles
are to be encountered, and also the powers
of the enemy, and our strength must be,
or be made to be, adequate to overcome
both. In short, in this case, allies in, the
enemy's country were necessary to certain
or prompt success, and to secure them all
the arts of policy and all the means of con-
ciliation within our power, should have been
exerted
But what is the policy of our rulers 1
s it not written in the history of the Crit
enden Compromise and of the Peace Con
erence Resolves 2 in Congressional enact-
merits and in Presidential Proolamations
No concession, no conciliation, but only
sheer force to compel complete submission !
This policy, at once incalculating and im
passioned, was persisted in until repeated
disasters came to exhibit its folly and im
potency. Yes ! the necessity of allies,
utterly scouted in the outset, became de
monstrated on the plains of Manassas and
in the swamps of the Chickahominy. The
course of events taught us that assistance
would be useful, if not indispensable, to
the great' work of subduing rebellion and
restoring the integrity of the Union.
Recognizing this truth, the men in power
have turned their attention to the negroes
—the subject race of the South—and pro
pose to arm and employ them as allies in
the war. This experiment is likely to be
carried out, to be freely tested, and to pro
duce results which, to say the least, will
be instructive to future times.
In marked contrast to this desperate
experiment, conservative men look for al-
liance and aid to the white race—our own
stock and kindred—and propose to secure
their co-operation in restoring the Union
by a policy of conciliation, and by the ex
ample of a return by our own government
to a true Constitutional rule, uninfluenced
by fanatical passion and regardful of all
State and individual rights as established
by our fathers. In their policy, the con
servative element along the border and in
the South is to be encouraged and devel
oped not repelled, spurned and insulted !
Great allowance is doubtless to be made
for an Administration charged with the
conduct of a great war, and particularly a
civil war. The difficulties to be surmount
ed are great and often the course to be
pursued is but a choice between evils. At
such a time a generous mind will not seek
occasion of offence, and can overlook small
points of objection in reviewing public af
fairs.
But the subjects now brought into de
bate by the policy of the government are
fundamental and vital ; it is impossible to
be indifferent to them, and it would be un
manly to evade them. Frank, full, open
debate upon them will lead to useful con
clusions, and give due direction to our
efforts as citizens of a broken and afflicted
country.
It results from what has been said, thy,
the administration now in power may ex
pest from the great mass of those politi•
tally opposed to it, acquiescence in a le
gitimate exercise of the powers with which
it is invested, whether relating to the war
or to internal administration. But they
will claim and exercise the right of dis
cussing the wisdom and constitutionality
of its policy, and will by all lawful means
resist any attempt to pervert the war from
its true object, or to use the war power as
an instrument for introducing arbitrary
rule amongst us.
And they will labor to prepare the way
for the complete re-union of the States,
upon their accession to power ; or, if (in
contradiction of their fears) such re-union
should previously be achieved by arms,
then to confirm it and render it real, cor
dial and perpetual. .
Let it be distinctly understood that the
great mass of the Democratic party and of
the conservative men of the country have
never agreed, do not now agree, and have
no intention of agreeing in the future, to
a dissolution of the American Union
founded by Washington and his compatri
ots, and that they will not cease their
efforts for its complete restoration in its
original, pristine vigor. But to accom
plish this purpose, they, unlike their oppo
nents, will use all legitimate means of
restoration, and not physical force alone.
This may be boldly and openly announced
everywhere, and ought to be accepted ev
erywhere, as the only reasonable and pa
triotic ground upon which a Tarty can
stand that desires and intends to save the
country.
The administration has deliberately cast
away all means of restoration, except phys
ical force, and has called into existence
great and unnecessary obstacles to suc
cess, until, notwithstanding the immediate
difference of apparent strength between
the parties to the war, its issue hangs
trembling in the balance. But let us not
despair of the future. 64 Out of this net
tle danger " we may yet " pluck the
flower, safety." We may hope that the
remaining months of Mr. Lincoln's term
will be got past without complete exhaus
tion, and the point of time arrived at,
when a vigorous and truly great party,)
clean-handed from the past, thoroughly
Union, upright, just, patriotic and brave,
will assume possession of the powers of
government. And then, this party, with
an old history identified with the glories
of the country binding to it sympathy and
affection in every quarter, with no selfish,
local or fanatical passions, to weaken or ,
mislead it ; with a, generous, even-handed,
impartial, time-tited creed, conformed to
the Constitution, and springing naturally
from its principles 2 ---this party, thus qual
ified to speak to the whole land, and to be
heard with affection and reverence, can
and will command. these wild waves of
human passion to be still, and, rejecting
alike the fanaticism of Boston anti of
Charleston, will re-bind these great States
together, in enduring bonds of interest and
sympathy !
I am, dear sir, very truly yours,
C. R. BUCKALEW.
BLOOMSBURG, Feb. 20, 1863.
THE ROYAL WAGER.
" Come tell me where the maid is found,
Whose heart can love without deceit,
And I will range the world around,
To sigh one moment at her feet."—MoonE
One fine July day, the fair Margaret,
Queen of Navarre, then on a visit to her
royal brother, had arranged a rural feast
for the morning following, which Francis
bad declined attending. He was melan
choly ; and the cause was said to be some
lover's quarrel with a favorite dame.—
The morrow came, and dark rain and
murky clouds destroyed at once the
schemes of the courtly throng. Margaret
was angry, and she grew Weary ; her only
hope for amusement was in Francis, and
he had shut himself up—an excellent
reason why she should desire to see him.
She entered his apartment ; he was stand
ing at the casement, against which the
noisy shower beat, writing with a diamond
on the glass. :Two beautiful dogs were his
sole companions. As Queen Margaret
entered he hastily let down the silken cur
tain before the window, and looked a little
confused.
g What treason is this, my liege,' said
the queen, ' which crimsons your cheek ?
must see the same.'
It is treason,' replied the king, and
herefore, sweet sister, thou must not see
This the more excited Margaret's curi
osity, and a playful contest ensued. Fran
cis at last yielded; he threw himself on a
huge, high-backed settee ; and, as the
lady drew back the curtain with an arch
smile, he grow grave and sentimental, as
he reflected on the cause which had in
spired this libel against all woman-kind.
What have we here V said Margaret.
4 Nay, this is less majeste—
Souvent femme varie—bien fou qui sly fie
(Often woman ohanges—foolish he who trusts her.)
Very little change would greatly amend
your line sir—would it not run better
thus :
Souvent homme vane--bien belle qui sly fie !'
(Often man changes—foolish she who trusts him.)
I could tell you a thousand stories of
man's inconstancy.'
6 I will be content with one true tale of
woman's fidelity,' said frrancis, dryly, 'but
do not provoke me. I would fain be at
peace with the soft mutabilities, for thy
dear sake.'
I defy your grace,' replied Margaret,
rashly, to instance the falsehood of one
noble and reputed dame.'
Not even Emilie de Lagny "?' said the
This was a sore subject for the queen.
Emilie had been brought up in her house
hold, the most beautiful and most virtuous
of her maids of honor. She had long
loved. the Sire de Lagny, and their nup
tials were celebrated with rejoicings, but
little ominous of the result. De Lagny
was accused but a year after of traitorous
ly yielding to the emperor a fortress under
his command, and he was condemned to
perpetual imprisonment. For some time
Emilie was inconsolable, often visiting the
miserable dungeon of her hu'.band and
suffering, on her return from witnessing
his wretchedness, such paroxysms of grief,
as threatened her life. Suddenly, in the
midst of her sorrow, she disappeared : and
inquiry only divulged the disgraceful fact,
that she had escaped from France, bearing
her jewels with her, and accompanied by
her page. Robinet Leroux. It was
whispered that, daring her journey, the
lady and her stripling were often seen-ato
gether ; and Margaret enraged at these
discoveries, commanded that no further
quest should be made for her lost favorite.
Taunted now by her brother, she de
fended Emilie, declaring that she believed
her to be guiltless, even going so far as to
boast that within a month she would bring
proof of her innocence.
Robinet was a pretty boy,' said Fran
cis, laughing.
Let us make a bet,' cried Margaret.
4 If I lose, I will bear this vile rhyme of
thine as a motto to my shame to my grave;
if I win--'
4 I will break my window, and grant
thee whatever boon thou askest.'
The result of this bet was long sung by
troubadour and minstrel. The queen em
ployed a hundred emissaries—published re
wards for any intelligence of Emilie—all
in vain. The month was expiring, and
Margaret would have given many bright
jewels to redeem her word. On the eve
of the fatal day, the jailer of the prison in
which the Sire de Lagny was confined,
sought audience of the queen ; he brought
her a message from the knight to say, that
if the lady Margaret would ask his pardon
as her boon, and obtain from her royal
brother that he might be brought before
him, her bet was won. Fair Margaret was
very joyful, and readily made the desired
promise. Francis was unwilling to see his
false servant; but he was in high good
humor, for a cavalier had that morning
brought intelligence of a victory over the
imperialists. The messenger himself was
lauded in the despatches as the most fear
less and brave knight in France. The
king loaded him with presents, only re
greting that a vow prevented the soldier
from raising a visor or declaring his name.
The same evening, ag 4 the setting sun
shone on the lattice on which the ungal
lant rhyme was traced, Francis reposed on
the same settee, and the beautiful queen
of Navarre, with triumph in her bright
eyes, sat beside him. Attended by guards,
the prisoner was brought in ; his frame was
attenuated by privation and he walked with
tottering steps. He knelt at the feet of
Francis, and uncovered his head ; a quan
tity of rich golden hair then escaping, fell
over the sunken cheeks and pallid brow of
the supplicant.
We have treason here !' cried the
king. ' Sir jailer, where is yon'epris
oner 1'
Sire, blame him not,' said the soft,
faltering voice of Emilie ; wiser men than
he have been deceived by woman. My
dear lord was guiltless of the crime for
which he suffered. There was but one
mode to save him. I assumed his chains ;
he escaped with poor Robinet in my attire ;
he joined your army ; the.young and gal
lant cavalier who delivered the despatches
to your grape, whom you overwhelmed
with honors and rewards, is my own
Euguerard de Lagny. I waited but for
his arrival with testimonials of his inno
berme, declare myself to the lady the
queen. Has she not won her bet 1 and the
boon she asks —'
Is it de Lagny's pardon,' said Marga
ret, as she also knelt to the king. Spare
your faithful vassal, sire, and reward this
lady's truth !'
Francis first broke the false speaking
window, then he raised the ladies from
their supplicatory posture.
In the tournament given to celebrate
this c triumph of ladies,' the sire de Lagny
bore off every prize ; and surely there
was more loveliness in Emilie's faded
cheek—more grace in her emaciated
forni—,types as they were of the truest
affection—than in the prouder bearing
and fresher complexion of the most bril
liant beauty in attendance on the courtly
festival.
How TO TREAT AN IDLE HUSBAND.-
The people (the inhabitants of New Zeal
and) are much attached
.to their chiefs.—
If they require an additional patch of land,
or liberty to build a house anywhere, it is
granted. If they quarrel among them
selves, or have complaints to make, the
head chief's ear is kindly opened to all—
to the poorest man as well as to the petty
chief. If invasion threatens their district,
he is in the front ranks to repel it ; and
let the war cause a sharp skirmish or a
great battle, he is aways in the front, and
where danger presses most, so that he has
their love and respect. The head chief
often interferes in minor matters of a do
mestic nature. For instance, if a lazy
fellow has a wife or two and a few chil
dren, and, through his love for fishing,
dancing, or loitering idly about, he neg
lects to bring in the necessary supplies for
his family, a complaint is made. The
chief visits the house in person, and if he
sees just grounds for punishment, he
orders out the whole population of the vil
lage. Men, wonmen and children arm
themselves with a stiff birch made of canes,
and then form a double line, about six feet
apart, and wait, with anxious glee, the ap
proach of the delinquent. At last he) is
placed at one end of the lines, amidst .a
shower of yells, screams, jibes, etc. The
word is given by the chief, and away he
darts at his utmost speed. According to
his deserts, he may get off with running
the line once, or may have to do so twice
or thrice ; but he is skilful in cunning
and fleetness that can run the lines even
once without having his skin tickled for
him by the hearty application of the birch
wielded by some strong woman. As the
punishment is not of a fatal kind, the
whole affair creates unrestricted merri
ment. For one month afterwards his
family are provided by the public at large,
under the fatherly superintendence of the
chief. At the expiration of that time, if
he has all his domestic matters in perfect
order, as a good father and provident hus
band used to have, he again resumes his
place t in society, and shortly afterwards
helps, with an experienced hand, to flagel
late some one else.—[Goulton's South

A BEAUTIFUL ClTY.—Batavia—the
capital city of the island of Java—accor
ding to the description of a newspaper cor
respondent, is a brilliant specimen of ori
ental splendor. The houses--which are
as white as snow, are placed one hundred
feet back from the street, the intervening
space being filled with trees, literally alive
with birds, and every variety.of plants and
flowers. Every house has a piazza in
front; and is decorated with b. :utiful pie
tures, elegant lamps, cages, &c. while
rocking chairs, lounges and ottomans, of
the nicest description, furnish luxurious
accomodations for the family—who sit here
morning and evenings. At night the city
is one blaze of light from the lamps. The
hotels have grounds of eight and ten acres
in extent around them, covered with fine
shade trees, with fountains, flower gardens,
&c. Indeed, so numerous are the trees,
the city almost resembles a forest. The
rooms are very high and spacious, without
carpets, and but few curtains. Meals are
served up about the same as at first-class
hotels in the United States, although the
habits of living are quite different. At
day-light coffee and tea are taken to the
guest's' room, and again at eight o'clock
light refreshments. At twelve breakfast
is served, and at seven, dinner. Coffee
and tea always ready, day and night. No
business is done in the streets in the mid
dle of the day, on account of the heat.—
The nights and mornings are cool and de
lightful ; birds are singing all night. The
thermometer stands at about 82 degrees
throughout the year. The island abounds
with tigers, leopards, anacondas, and poi
sonous insects of all kinds, The finest
fruits in the world are produced in great
profusion.
I AIN'T DEAD.-A Boston lady having
a drunken husband, resolved to frighten
him into temperance. She therefore en
gaged a watchman for a stipulated amount,
to carry Philander to the watch house,
while yet in a state of insensibility, and
to frighten him a little when he revived.'
In consequence of this arrangement he
was waked about eleven o'clock at night,
and found himself lying on a pine bench
in a strange* dim apartment. Raising him
self on his elbow, he looked round until
his eye rested on a man sitting by a
stove, and smoking a cigar.
Where am I !' asked Philander.
In a medical college,' said cigar
smoker
What a doing there?'
4 Going to be cut up !'
Gut up !—how comes that 1'
Why you died yesterday, while you
were drunk , . and we have bought as your
body here to make anatomy.'
It's a lie—l ain't dead !'
No matter; we bought your carcass,
any how, from your wife, who had a right
to sell it, for it's all the good she could
ever make out of you. If you are not .
dead, it's no fault of the doctor's and
they'll out you up, dead or alive.
You will do it, eh asked the old sot.
To be shore we will—now—lmmedi
ately, was the resolute answer.
Well look o'here, can't you let us
have something to drink before you begin?'
113 — A woman is either worth a great
deal or she is worth nothing. If good for
nothing, she is not worth getting jealous
for; if she is a true woman, she will give
no cause for jealousy. A man is a brute
to be jealous of a good woman—a fool to
be jealous of a worthless one ; but he is a
greater fool to eat his throat for either of
them.
Valuable Hints
If a man faints-place him flat on his
back and let him alone.
If any poison is swallowed,. drink in
stantly half a glass of cold water, with a
heaping teaspoonful each of common salt
and ground mustard stirred into it. This
vomits as soon as it reaches the stomach ;
but for fear some of the poison may still
remain, swallOw the white of one or two
raw eggs, or drink a cup of coffee, these
two being antidotes for a greater number
of poisons than any dozen other articles
known, with the advantage of their being
always at hand. If not, a half-pint of
sweet oil, or drippings, or melted butter,
or lard, are substitutes, especially if they
vomit quickly.
The best thing to stop the bleeding of
a
moderate ant instantly is to cover it pro
'usely with oobWeb, or flour and salt, half
and half.
If the blood comes from a wound by
jets or spirts, be quick, or a man will be
dead in few minutes, because an artery is
severed ; tie a handkerchief loosely around
near the part, between the wound and the
heart ; put a stick between the handker
chief and the skin, twist it round un
til the blood ceases to flow, and keep it
there until the doctor comes. If in a posi
tion where a handkerchief cannot be
used, press the thumb on a spot near the
wound between the wound and the heart ;
increase the pressure until the bleeding
ceases, but do not lessen that pressure for
an instant, until a physician arrives, so as
to glue up the wound by the coagulation
or hardening of the cooling bloocC
If your clothes take fire, slide the hands
down the dress, keeping them as close to
the body as possible, at the same time
sinking to the floor by bending the knees,
this has a smothering effect on the flames.
If not extinguished, or a great headway
is gone, lie down on the floor, roll over
and over ; or, better, envelope yourself in
a carpet, rug, bedcloth, or any garment
you can get hold of always preferring
woollen.
If a man asks you to go his security,
say No,' and run ; otherwise you may be
enslaved for life, or your wife and children
may spend a weary existence in want,
sickness, and beggary.
If you find yourself in possession of a
counterfeit note or coin, throw it in the
fire on the instant, otherwise you may be
tempted to pass it, and may pass it, to
feel mean therefore as long as you live ;
then it may pass in some mans hand as
mean as yourself, with a new perpetration
of iniquity, the loss to fall, eventully, on
some poor struggling widow, whose all '
it may be.
Never laugh at the mishaps of any fel
low-mortal.
The very instant you find yourself in a
passion, shut your mouth. This is one of
the precepts derived from inspiration.
The man who always exacts the last
cent, is mean : there is no ' evacuant' in
all the' Materia Medica,' efficient enough
to purge him of his debasement ; he is
beyond druggery.
Never affect to be blunt these are the
synonyms of brutality and boorishness.—
Such persons are inflicting a wound which
neither time nor medicine can ever heal.
Never be witty at another's expense.—
True generosity never dwells in such a
heart. It only wants the opportunity to
become the cheat or a rogue.
ONE WAY OF AIARRYING.—In New
Hampshire they used to choose all their
State, county and town' officers, from
Governor down to hog reeves, at one town
meeting, the annual March meeting. As
the town officers were very numerous, it
was customary as fast as they were chosen,
to walk them up before a justice of the
peace and have them sworn into office, by
companies, half-companies, pair and sin
gle.' Squire Chase,' of Cornish, (father
of Governor Chase, of Ohio, and the pres
ent Secretary of the Treasury) being the
most prominent justice, had. this task to
perform, and a severe task it was, occupy
ing much.of his time from morning till
night.
It was on one of these occasions, after
the labors and toils of the day were over,
he returned to his home weary and over
come with the fatigues of his employment,
and throwing himself in his easy chair, he
fell into a sound sleep. In the meantime
a couple who had been waiting impatiently
for some time for the justice to jtin them
in wedlock, presented themselves in anoth
er part of the house and made known
their interesting desire to Mrs. Chase,
who, somewhat confused and agitated, at
tended them to the sleeping justice, whom
she found it difficult to arouse. Shaking
him by the shoulder, she called out, Mr.
Chase, Mr. Chase, do pray wake up ; here
is a couple come to be married.' The
justice having administered oaths all day,
was dreaming of nothing else, half waked,
rubbing his eyes and looking at the wistful
pair, asked :
Are you the couple
They nodded assent.
Well, hold up your hands.' They did
so with some hesitation. You severally,
solemnly swear that you will faithfully
perform the duties of your offices, respec
tively, according to your best skill and
judgment, so help you, &e.'
The astonished couple looked wild; - lhe
justice added soothingly, That's all, ex
cepting the fee, one dollar,' which was
quickly dropped into his hand, and they
were off, doubting as they went, the legal
ity of the process, but they concluded to
go according to the oath.
Few ladies are so modest as to be
unwilling to sit in the lap of ease and lux
ury.

GODEY'S LADY'S BOOR. FOR VMS.
GREAT LITERARY AND PICTORIAL YEAR.
The publisher of Godeyte Lady's Book, thankful to that
public which has enabled him to publish a magazine for
the last thirty-three years of a larger circulation than any
in America, has made an arrangement with the most port
lar authoress in this country—
/lA.BION HARLAND,
Authoress of "Alone," "Hidden Path," "Moss aide,"
" Nemesis," and " Miriam,"
who will furnish a story far every number of the Lady's
Book for 1883. This alone will place the Lady's Book In a
literary point of view far ahead of any other magazine.
Marion Harland writes for no other publication. Our other
favorite writers will all continue to furnish articles
throughout the year.
THE BEST LADY'S MAGAZINE IN THE WORLD, AND
TILE CHEAPEST
TEE LITERATURE

is of that kind that can be read aloud in the &mils , circle,
and the clergy in immense numbers are subscribers tbr the
Book.
TTIE MUSIC
is all original, and would cost 25 cents (the price of the
nook) in the music stores; but moet of it is copyrighted,
and cannot be obtained except In " Godey."
OUR STEEL ENGRAVING&
All efforts to rival na in this have ceased, and we now
stand alone in this department, giving, as we do, many
more and infinitely better engravings than are published
in any other work.
PLATES.
CONTAINING
From five to seven fall length Colored Faehitmis on each
plate. Other magazines give only two.
FAR AHEAD OF ANY FASHIONS IN EUROPE OR

Godey's Is the only work in the world that gives these
Immense plates, and they are such as to have excited the
wonder of publishers and the public. The publication of
these plates coat
$lO,OOO ?SORE
than fashion-plates of the old style, and nothing but our
wonderfully large circulation enables us to give them.
Other magazines cannot afford it. We never spare money
when the public can be benidted.
These fashions may be relied on. Dresses may be made
after them, and the wearer will not subject herself to ridin
mile, as would be the case if she visited the large cities
dressed after the style of the plates given in some of our
so-called magazines.
OUR WOOD ENGRAVINGS,
of which we give twice or three times as many as any other
magazine, aro often mistaken for steel. They are so far
superior to any others.
IMITATIONS.
Beware of them. Remember that the Lady's Book ig the
original publication and the cheapest. If you take Godey,
you want no other magazine.
Everything that is useful or ornamental in a home can
be found in Godey.
