FADELESS IS A LOVING HEART.
Sunny eyes may lose their brightness ;
Nimble feet forget their lightness;
Pearly teeth may know decay ;
Raven tresses turn to gray ;
Cheeks be pale and ayes be dim,
Faint the voice and weak the limb";
But though youth and strength depart,
Fadeless is a loving heart.
Like the little mountain (lower,
Peeping forth in wintry hour,
When the summer's breath is fled,
And the gaudier flowrets dead;
So when outward charms are gone,
Brighter still , doth blossom on,
Despite of Time's destroying dart,
The gentle, kindly, loving heart.
Wealth and talents will avail
When on Life's rough sea we sail,
Vet the wealth may °melt like snow,
And the wit no longer glow ;
But more smooth we find the sea,
And our eourse the fairer be,
'Cour pilot, when we start,
Be a kindly, loving heart.'
Ye in worldly wisdom old—
Ye who bow the knee to gold—
Does ibis earth as lovely seem
As it did in Life's young dream,
Ere the world had crusted o'er
Feelings good and pure before—
Ere you soldin Mammon's mart
The best yearnings of the heart
Grant me, Heaven, my earnest pray er—
Whether life of ease or care
Be the one to me assigned—
That each coming year may find
Loving thoughts and. gentle words
Twined within my bosom's chords,
And that age may but impart
Riper freshness to My heart.

Professional Slaughter.
The only Safety for the Sisk :—When
an Emperor of China issues, an import
ant decree, he usually appends .to it
these words—" Respect this. A ver
million edict." The style in which the
great guns of the medical profession de
liver their opinions islittle less author
itative and dictatorial. -Itisof no use
to remonstrate' with them. Byron, in
his last sickness, told his medical advis
er (medical• dictator is the more appro
priate term) that he was bleeding him to
death, lAA the remark was unheeded;
and the lancet was used again and again
until the prefessional homicide was
completed. We verily believe that
thousands of sick persons' are killed ev
ery year by the various modes of violent
depletion in vogue among "regular"
practitioners. This murderous work
cannot, we would fain hope, last much
longer. A salutary, revolution is in
progress. Since the introduction of
HOLLOWAY'S celebrated Pills and Oint
ment into this country, a'-new light-has
broken in upon us. We have begun to
discover that the disordered action of
the great internal organs can be regu
lated and health restored, without re
sort to mineral poisons. That instead
of mercury, - which in the end withers
"marrow, bones and all,'i HolloWlty's
Pills, whidh are 'exclusively vegetable,
are all-safficent for the cure of liver
complaint, disorders of the bowels, and
all diseases arising from indigestion.
We have also found out that scrofula,
,
cutaneous eruptions, and cancers, ab
scesses and all kinds of ulcers, heal and
are radically cured by Holloway's Oint
ment. The reign of 'calomel, caustic
and other medical destructives, draws
to a close, and we may possibly live to
see the day when Holloway's life-sue
taining remedies will be the a/p7ta and
omega of the people's materia medico..

LIQUOR IN THE . ARMY.—Gen. Howard
made the following sensible remarks as
to liquors in the army, in a late speech :
I did not drink at college, I did not
drink at West Point; but when I got
into the army I found it was all the
fashion. If you went into an officer's
quarters the hist thing was to offer you
something to drink. It was thoughtyou
did not treat him with proper respect if
you did not. I fell into the habit. I
drank whisky and offered it to others.
When I was stationed at. Florida, I
once offered whisky to an officer, and he
declined. I urged him to drink, and he
drank. A short time. after I attended
bile in the horrors of delirium tremens,
and I made up my mind that it was
wicked, and that I never would do it
again; and I have not. I do, not keep
it in my quarters or my tent. Ido not
offer it
-to any officer or to any man, and
I will not. I know it is a_hixrd stand to
take, especially for a young officer ; but
I can say from my-own experience that
ft will pay.
OPINION OF ATTORNEY-GEN. BATES.- - -
Gov. Andrew some time since addressed
a letter to the President, remonstrating
against the refusal of the United States
paymasters to . pay Chaplain Harrison,
of the 54th Massachusetts (colored)
regiment, his legitiruate pay and allow
ances, they tendering him $lO a month,
which it is claimed that colored troops
are only to receive. The President re
ferred the matter to Attorney General
Bates, asking his opinion. The Attor
ney General has decided that Chaplain
Harrison is a chaplain in 'the service,
and that as such he is entitled to full
pay—paymasters having no discretiona
ay power to withhold pay from officers
in the service on account of •their color.
He also gives it as his . opinion that the
law fixing a low rate of pay, for •colored
persons in the army, was intended to
apply to 'those who' are laborers, and not
to tiegio soldiers in the field, and while
performing the Same duties 'as other
soldiers of fairer complexion.
sr Punctuation, that is, the putting
the stops in the right places, cannot be
too sedulously studied. We lately
read, in a country paper, the following
startling account of Lord Palmerston's
appearance in the House of Commons :
""fiord Palmerston then entered on his
head, a white hat upon his feet, large
but well poliahed boots upon his brow,
a darkcloud in his hand, his faithfnl
walkinglstick in his eye, a menacing
glare saying nothing. He sat down."

Parscavc YOUR FURS—Fars should
never be put away for the summer and
forgotten, as they so frequently are;
and, next to being shut up from the air,
their greatest enemy is dampness. If
from the wearer being exposed to rain
they become wet, they should always be
dried, at a moderate distance from the
fire immediately ; and in warm weather
when not required for wear, they should
never be shut in a box or drawer for
more than a few days at a time, and ev
ery few weeks they should be shaken
and beaten.
The more delicate skins require some
what more delicate treatment. The
best plan is, probably, not to pack furs
away, but to let them lie away in a drawer
or wardrobe thatis constantly being
opened, so that they meet the eye fre
quently, and thus at convenient oppor
tunities they may be taken out and beat
en, or at any rate shaken and tossed,
and exposed to the air. It is a common
remark that moths get into furs, as if
the insect migrated from place to place.

HARD TO SETTLE.--Congress has passed
a bill assigning the old House of Repre
sentatives Chamber as a gallery for
, the
reception of two marble or bronze stat
ues of the two most illustrious civic or
military men of each State of the Union.
This will be a more difficult and exciting
question than a Presidential question
in peace times. Men may agree to
elect persons to the Presidency whom
they believe inferior to themselves : but
in a question of superiority, every man
is a great man, and,will deem the be
stowal of such honor upon another as
a direct robbing of himself. The millions
of illustrious men, in their own estima
tion, which this fortunate or unfortunate
country possesses, will occasion such a
competition for this honor ambng them,
that the gallery at Washington is likely
to remain empty, because, of inability to
make a satisfactory selection.
THE FORUM; OF THE ARMY;-The
Washington Chronicle of the Ist inst.
says that its private advices from the
army indicate that the troops were
never in better spirits, or in more effi
cient condition then they are to—day.
They are eager for the, fray, and confi
dent of success. They look to this cam
paign as the final.one of the war, and
while duly estimating the gallantry and
steady endurance of the foe, they patient
ly await the signal which is to hurl the
reinvigorated legions of the Republic
against the choicest troops of the Re.
hellion-- Grant is regarded •as doing
his work thoroughly, and, when the strife
begins they expect it to be vigorously
and successfully followed up.
sir On Friday of last week the good
people of Jersey City were thrown into
a ferment by-the escape of a man in the
worst stage of small-pox, and iu a de
ranged state of mind, from his boarding
house, and perambulating the streets, to
the terror of the passers by. Making
his way to the police station, he soon
caused an evadnation of the premises by
the valorous officials, with one exception
and that one turned the poor creature
into the street; Fin'al4, after having
wandered about, inoculating no one
knowshow many with the loathsome dis
ease, the patient was'overhauled by offi
cer Valade, whiz althottgh feeling no
special immunity from the disease, seized
him, and after a sharp tassel, - conveyed
him to the hospital.

of hair, which hung in clustering curls

mother, who exclaimed, with surprise:
"Why, Mary, what have you been doing
to your hair ?" To which she replied
that she had cut it off, and laid it away
in her box, but that she intended to put
it on again to-morrow, as, aunt Nancy
did:

THE PENNSYLVANIA MnurrA.--It is not
probible that there'will be a call made
on Governor Curtin for the militia of the
state, at this time. We un.derstand, how
ever, that the militia of the Western
states were tendered, and accepted by
the President to protect Cincinnatti,
Cairo, Paducah, Columbus, and exposed
points on the Mississippi river. The
militia of New York are to garrison the
fortifications in New York harbor, and
the New England militia are to perform
the same service in the fortifications of
Boston harbor, and along the Eastern
coast.
Governor Curtin tendered militia, be
fore the battle of Chancelloraville, to
garrison the fortifications around Wash
ington city, and he has ever since been
in readiness to furaisbtroops )vhen need ;
ed by the national authorities. If the
militia were taken from the state now,
to be of service to the Government, it
would be necessary for such forces to go
to Virginia; and the points there are too
important, and too much tisposed to be
garrissornid . by green troops ; and in
case of an invasion, the military force
of the state would be thus exhausted.
and our border left at the mercy of the
invader. We are happy to have it in
our power to announce that the most
cordial and'recipiocal feelings exists be
.
tween the national and state authorities,
and that, in any emergency which may
•
occur, there is a perfect understanding
to control and give force to their com
bined action.----Harrisburg Telegraph.:
AN It:omm. OF Snitoll.—,During the
battle of Shiloh, an officer huriiedly
rode up to an aid and inquired for
Grant. " That's him with the- field,
glass," replied the aid. Wheeling his
-horse about, the officer furiously rode
up to the General, and, touching hie
cap, thus addressed him : qSlieherale I
vante to make one report; Schwartz's
Battery is took." "Ha!" says the Gen
eral, "how was that ?" "Vell, you , - see,
Sheneral, de t--d shesheshnists come
up in front of us, de' t—d shesheahnists
flanked us, and de t—d sheabeshnists
came in de rear of us, and Schwartz's
Battery vas took." "Well, sir," said
the General, "you.of course spiked- the
guns." "Vat !" exclaimed the Dutch
man in -astonishment, "schpike dem
guns, schpike dem new guns! No, it
would schpoil dem !" "Well," said the
General, sharply,. "what did you do ?"
"Do ! vy, we took dem ha& again !"
WHAT SITE WANTED.-A. good story
is told of a -young woman who-had re
cently been converted at a, 'camp meet
ing:• The minister had told her that if
she had faith the Lord would give her
whatever she would ask in prayer.. Be
lieving implicitly iii his words, she one
evening retired to a grove-and fervently
prayed the LOrd to give her a rnan. It
so happened-that hn owl sat up in ono
of the trees, and being disturbed, gaVe
out a hoo-o-o I She thought the Lord
had heard her prayer and only wished
to know her choice. She was overjoyed,
and with the greatest thankfulness of
spirit answered back, "Anybody, Lord,
if it's only a man."
Goon RULES sort Aw..—Profane swear
ing is'abominable. Vulgar language is
disgusting. Loud laughing is impolite.
Inquisitiveness is offensive. Tattling is
mean. Telling lies is contemptible.:—
Slandering is devilish. Ignorance is dis

Avoid all the above vices and aim at
usefulness.' This is the road in which
to become respectable. Walk in it.
Never be ashamed of honest labor.
Pride is a curse—a hateful vice. Never

Speak the truth at all times. Never be
discouraged but persevere, and moun

A ''NovEE NoilcE.-A landlord of
some premises in West Ham parish,
having a tenant about to quit possession
at Michaelmas, exhibited a notice in
the usual way—
"Thislouse to be let." The tenant,
by way of preventing the letting, has
exhibited a placard in the window, with
the following notice: "Leaving in con-
sequence of bad smells arising from
the drains."

Odds and Ends.
The following is a very significant
epistle to the present degenerate age,
which if answered correctly would be
found to contain more truth than poetry :
Is there a heart that never sighed?
Is there a tongue that never lied ?
Is 'there an eye that he ver blinked ?
Ii there a man that never drinked ?
Is there a'woman that never fainted?
ithere a woman that never painted?
If so, then heart, and tongue, and eye

The announcement of the marriage, at

Eva Smiley, suggests the probability
that he ticketed her wit i h a proposal
and that she smiled a consent.
"Sir," said a lady. to a would-be wag,
