Fill hlirh the bowl with Fusil Oil !
With Tannin lot vonr ones be oronned '
If Stryebnino gives relief to Toil,
Let Strychnine's goncrou juioe abound !
Let Oil of Vitriol cool your brains,
Or animated atoms brew,
And CI1 your arteries, baarls and vein,
With glee and inl'ulutial glue !
Wine? Tisr died out in '58
What fool would have it back? And how '
Tbe "cup that tetl inebriate
And never cheer," they tell us now,
"Tbe oonscious wa:er saw lis Uud
And blushed." Whatofit? Don't you feel
Tlmt water knows the Drugger' red
And blushes uow with Cochineal ?
Ah-h ! Frtgrnnt fume of Creosote!
Bewitching bowl of Prussian Blue !
Who wi uld not soothe hia parching throat
With your mild offspring, "Mountain Dew '"
Stronger then aught that racked tbe frame
And shook the mighty brains of Burns,
Surely, ye 'II set onr heads eflsme,
W heu e'er his foatal day returua !
Rring on the BeerFresh Copperaa foam !
With Alum mixed. In powder floe,
How could my foolish fanoy roam
In senroh of whiter froth than thine ?
Thy lodian Berry' Essenoe spread

The eyebrows are a part of the face com
paratively but little noticed, .though in dis
closing the real seutimeuts of the mind
scut eel v any other features of the face cau
come into competition. In vain tbe most
prudent female imposes silence on Iter
toii"ue ; in vain she tries to compost) her
lace and eyes ; a single movement of the
eyebrows iustautly discloses what is pasaiug
iu her soul. Placed upon the skin, and at
tached to muscles which move them in every
diicctiun, the eyebrows are obedient, in con
sequence of their extreme mobility, to the
..lightest internal impulses. There mujesty,
pnde.-vatity, severity, kindness, the dull
and gloomy pe.sions, and the passlous soft
and gay, aro alternately depicted. "The
eyebrows alone," said Lavater, the prince of
plijeioguouiials, "often give the positive
expressions of character." "Patt of the eoul,"
says Pliny the elder, "resides in the eye
brows, which move at the command of the
will." Le Brun, in bis treatise .on the pas
sions, says "that tbe eyebrows are tbe least
equivocal interpreters of the emotions of tbe
heart and of the stlecUons of the soul."

A Young Man Stealt tht Dead Body of 111 j

The strangest case of thieving which we :
have ever heard of took placo iu the adjoin- ;
ing county of Cbealhcoi. a few days
ego. !
l he narrative, as we bave heard it, is sim
ply this: A few miles from Ashland, aud
not far from Cumberland River, live a fami
ly uatned White, who are in what ia there
termed comfortable circumstances. On
Christmas eve a young girl, some fourteen
years old, died in tho house after a brief
illness. She was not long home from nn
educational iustitute in Indians, which she
w us forced to leave by reason of an unac
countable indisposition. Tho bouso of tbe
Whites is situated in a rather remote section,
' so that the night
following the decease of
the young lady there were no visitors to
wateb up wuu the mourning lamiiy, savo
one a young gentleman Darned Iliggins,
who had come on horseback in the early
part ot the day to visit tu sick girl, lie
found her siukinir, and appeared to bo more
j overcome by grief thuu the parents of the
young Udy. When her eyes closet", in death,
uu n a uuwuukiviiiauiv iu nil ivnun, tun i
was fouud necessary to bring Lim to a clif
fercnt part of the Louse and try to cheer
him up by doses of strong drink. It was
found exceedingly difficult to induce him
to take any liquor, and in order to encourage
him the only brother of the deceased girl
imbodied freely himself of the stimulants
so freely in fact that ho was overcome uud
tell into a sound sleep about uighttall, trom
which it was thought best not to wake him.
The young girl's mother bad been in very
delicate health for some time past, aud the
children of the house were of too delicate an
age to sit up all night iu a chamber of death,
liecce, when the hours waxed late there
were no watchers in the bouse but young
Higgios and tbe girl's father. I'p to about
12 o'clock tbe young man seemed to be in a
semi-lethargic state, aud was uot at all com
municative, but sat brooding over bis sor
row in the gloomiest possible manner. Short
ly after midnight there was a change per
ceptible, lie became talkative, suggested
to the old man the propriety of taking a
little stimulant, and ot shaking off some of
his grief, liy a judicious application of the
bottle, aud au exceedingly ingenious way of
recommendiug its beneficial qualities, be
succeeded in getting the old man asleep
sent him into so sound a sleep that he did
not wake up until between five and six in
the morning. When be woke he found
young Iliggins occupying exactly the same
posiliou, as Le thought, that he did in the
early part of the previous uight ; sitting in
a coruer with bis bowed head resting ou Lis
Lsuds ; but Le observed that the youug fel
low's boots were muddy, aud when spoken
to be himself appeared weary, aud even
exhausted, lie easily accounted lor these
changes to people who Lad no ol ject iu
niakiug iuquiries into tbem. The colliu,
whose iid Lad been screwed down the night
before, was all right. Everything appealed
to be gloomy and sorrowfully right. Not
much notice was taken of anything until the
hour approached for tbe interment of the
corps, when Iliggins showed signs ef great
agitation, which were considered tbeuatuial
result of his great grief. Tbe little- funeral
arraugements beiug easily and quickly
made, the coffin, was carried to its de.nued
resting place by three men, followed by the
mother and the children ; but a the melan
choly cortege approached tbe grave, llijigtus,
whether from exhaustion or trepidatiou,

heat of steam, but without any contuct w ith
