been neatly laid in rows. The loaves were-
but slightly over baked by the lava heat,
having been protected by a quantity of
ashes covering the door. 1 here is no ba'
ker's mark on the loaves ; they are circu

the locomotive and occasionally giving vent
to expressions of astonishmet. Finally

" Stranger, are this a locomotive f "

' Whom do Great Men: Marry,
Women of course. But thev show the

on account of his extreme liberality and
hospitality.
Benjamin Franklin manicd the girl
who stood in her father's door and laughed

Horace Greeley's Mawuicript.
Horace Greeley's manuscript is notori
ously barrf and it is said to require a printer
of no ordinary skill to set up his copy if he
happens to write u in a nuasy. J he recent
newspaper anecdote of an article headed
" Wm. H. Seward," which Mr. Greeley
had returned to him set np " lliohard
III.," is fresh in the minds of all ; but an
occurrence still more funny is related which
happened in the Irwune omco, some years
since.
A compositor bad made so many errors
n setting " the philosopher's " copy, that
it irritated him to such a degree that he
wrote the typo a letter, discharging him
from further duty. The compositor, being
unable to decipher the contents of the note
on receiving it, took it to the foreman, who
explained to him that it expressed that he
was " not a careful man, and 51 r. Greeley
dispensed with bis services." The man
laid down bis stick, put on bis coat and.
left, lae next day he applied for a situa.
tion as assistant foreman in a large
printing office in the same street. 1 tic
proprietor inquired if foe could bring a
recommendation from his last employer.
" All I have is this letter from Mr.
Greeley," said the young man, boldly pro
ducing the documeut.
The worthy job printer scanned it some
moments with a perplexed air. " II m
m careful, man services signed, H.
Greeley yes, that will do; wo wil! en
gage ynn." And he did, and never
learned till two years afterwaids that the
" letter from Mr. Greeley " was one of dis

supposed.

M&dVup Liquors.
One is impressed to seek a reason for the'
number of murders and sudden death which
ure now no frequently reported, and in do-
ui g so there is one li ightiul source to which
to trace the cause of the evil, and that is
the amount of made up and poisoned
liquors nuwsold to the public as a beverage.
Iu a very large majority of the cases of
murder reported, the murderer has been
found to bo laboring under a species of in-
sunny, produced by the hery poison of a
made up stuff called liquors. At any cor-
uer you may find a compounder of poisons.
and it is too tempting a business to be
easily prevented. Ten cents worth of
strychnine or o'.hcr . poisonous drugs wili
impart to a barrel of beer double the
strength of that value of hops, and with
tnc present skill in chemical preparations,
hardly a gallon of pure liquor is necessary
to produce thousands of gallons. The city
is noodcu with these poisons, called by all
sorts of names. The best brands of
champagne are wholly produced in this
country :n such perfect imitations, that
the genuine connot be detected if perchance
a bottle should be mixed with it. '1 ho
Uuliloruia wines offered for sale are very
large, but the ruado up manufacture of
certain establishments in this city. So
with other wines and liquors. Nor are
these exaggerated statements ; they can
be verified any day by the assessors of in
ternal revenue, and the examination of the
liquor. But can nothing be done to stop
tins wholesale poisoning of the community !
Must every man who takes aglassof wine
become a posible murderer, an insane
homicide 1 The evil is one which caunot

" No Room for LoxrEus." An ex.
chanue says : " These words recently met
our eyes as wo passed a workshop. No
room for loafers.' Pure enough, there is no
room for loafers anywhere 'in this working
world. They are uot wanted in the busy
woikshop, nor in tho .editor's sanctum ;
they are a nuisance in the store " spitting "
and spewing about the stove, and at the
post oflico and street corners are in every,
body's way They are forever out of
place except when in the almshouse r
jail. A dead weight 'upon society, they
are a hindrance and a bore. They form no
part of nature's plan ; it abhors them, as
it does a vacum. While all the world
arouud them is going forward, they are
standing still, or rather gliding impercepti.
bility backward into seedy vagabondism.

A Well Spent Life. Ah ! how
sweet it is when manhood's summer is
merging into the glorious evening of old
age, to look from tho shadow .of tho dark
valley, which will scon be dispersed by the
sun of morning in a glorious world, and
coutemplute a spent life where no inten
tional mistep can be recalled and when we
can remember no time when we have stood
between the sun and those we love ! Then
will the rough and uneven places in our
pathway look less uniuviting u, the twi
light of life, and tho bright, sunny spots
sparkle as so many diamonds in the crown
awaiting us. Iluppy indeed, are those
whose intercourse with the world has
not changed the eourse of their holier
feelings, or broken those musical chords of
the heart, whose vibrations are so melodi
ous, so tender, aud so touching in tbe even
