f DREAMING.
)
' lam dreamingOgently dreaming,
Of the doys that flitted by,
When the hours to me were seeming
Like a nieteor in the sky.
Then the golden woof of pleasure, •
'Sunlight dancing' on each. thread,
Dancing to life's joyous measure,
Fairly turned my childish head.
I am dreaming of the hours,
When hope with golden light
stole o'er my childish fancy,
In. visions pure and tright.
Then came the guileless friendships
Of those merry hlitheseme days,
1.4 ith memories of the hill-side haunts,
Still loved though far ai.Vey,
Those golden hours have passed.away,
Those friends are changed or gone,
Some have forgotten childhood's day,
In the busy gay world's tone.
We meet life's stern realities,
Old nature seems less kind,
And now the shadows creep before,
The sunlight steels behind.
Mrs. X., who resides in our so istatorial
district, had a neighbor, who was repre
sented to be quarrelsome in. his family,
making his home anything but pleasant
to dWell in. She, however, having heard
that his wife was a great deal of a vixen,
thought the wife might also be to blame
for the unpleasant state of affairs in the
household. So, full of charity and the
doctrines of the law of kindness, I,TrF,
X. visited her neighbor's hen: E+,
the benevolent intent of recencilinr, the
differences existing there, and addressed
the better half something in this stylr
"Now, you know," said she, "how mud-,
pleasanter it would be if y'Oa and your
husband would live together without
quarrelling; and, instead of fellT, a ro.
proach to the neighborhood, you might
become honored members of society.—
And it may be that you are not alto-
gether blameless in this matter. Sup
pose you try and see what the law of
kindness practiced toward your husband
will do, in effecting reconciliation. It
certainly can do 12Q horen, and you may
succeed in touching the tender cords of
his heart,
.and he may renew his old af
fection. Try it," she urged, "and if you
do not succeed, you wilt at least heap
coals of fire on his head," and so on.
All this was listened to, when the fol
lowing reply was made :
"I don't know about your coals of
fire ; 1 have tried boiling hot water, and
it didn't do a bit of good."
WIJERE THE StIOE I'INCHES.—Tho fol
lowing is : said to he the origin of the
well known saying, "Nobody knows
where the shoe pincheS brit he who
wears IL" ,
A Roman being about to repudiate
his wife among a variety of other ques
tions was asked by her enraged kins
man, "Is not your wife a sensible wo•
man ? is she not handsome ?"
In answer to which, slipping off his
shoe, he held it np, asking them, "is not
this shoe a very handsome one? is it
not quite new? is it not extremely well
made ? How, then, is it that you can't
tell me where it pinches ?"
We wonder whether John Morgan
wears the wig we sent him at Camp
Chase made of the hair of a dozen or so
of his female admirers. If we can cap
ture him, we shall claim the wig as a
portion of the spoils of victory. We
shall not wear it ourselves, for we have
an exuberant wealth of native curls, but
wo will put it upon a figure-head on the
top of our office, where every male rebel;
while passing by, can make a bow to it,
and every female one a courtesy.—Louis

Aaron was a tell, strapping fellow,
'near seventeen. Yoa never saw a more
susceptible youth. Being good-looking,
the girls were all easily smitten with him.
They used to flock out to see the country

for running over to his aunt's.
"No," said Mose, "bring, the gun, the
woods are full of squirrels. We might
kill a dozen walking the two miles."
The road led • along tho creek bank-
Aaron was in a brown study, thinking
of May. • Mose was looking up. in the
tree tops and among the bushes, anx

They crept along like sn kkes. They
reached the tree. Mose being the light
est, gave the gun to Aaron, climbed far
out on a branch over the creek, and got
into a squirril's nest. Aaron wasn't so
high.
It was a pretty sight, of course You've
read about nymphs, syrens. &c. ; they
couldn't compare. Hair loose, floating
on the water. Polly was white as snow.
She was plump as a partridge in peatime,
and eat on the wave like a bird on its
nest. Troup was slim.
Aaron proinised not to look at Ange

possible! Angeline snorted gracefully,
like a native of the element, and May
was a black-eyed heart couleur de rose
from top to toe. They splashed and
paddled, and chatted like mad.
Soon the tree began' to shake. Aaron
had a terrible back ague, and Mose be
gan to smoke and burn, commencing at
the ears.
There was a louder- noise than usual
among the unconscious bathing beauties,
Aaron scratched his already elongated
neck, at the same time hitching the gun
forward. Unfortunately the trigger
caught in a vine, and it went off - in a
deafening report. It was the climax of
the adventure. Moses trembled from
excitement into the creek, plump right
between Sue and Polly.
The girls then dove, badly strangled,
and run up the bank, their white backs
gazed at by the fish-hawk that had pounc
ed among them. ['hey were robed in a

Truth Conquers all Assailants.—The
admirable Crichton, the greatest logi
cian of his day, was accustomed to seek
a controversy with the Sophists of the
French and Italian Colleges, by nailing
challenges to the gates at those institu
tions. Thomas Holloway, the inventor
of the popular medicinal remedies that
bear his name, has adopted a more pub
lic and comprehensive method of defying
Error and establishing Truth. He has
advertised his Pills and Ointment in
nearly every newspaper in the world,
and fortified his, proclamations with a
mass of anthentic testimony which no
disputant has thought it prudent to as
sail. Crichton was a great theorist.
Holloway is it"man 'of facts. He takes
for his premises twenty years of success
ful praetice, and innumerable well attes
ted cures, and asks the world to draw its
owm conclusions. He has a simple and
perspicuous theory of the common origin
of all diseases. and upon this theory the
composition of his famous remedies is
based; but he rightly deems that the ex

rests, waiting the resurrection, those we

A Practical Crichton
A Forgiving Husband
Some time ago the Michigan papers
noticed the elopement of a married wo
man of forty with a boy of nineteen.
Recently the Detroit Tiibano andonuced
the following final of the affair.
Soon after the discovery of the guilty
parties, the grieving husband . 'took up
his march to recapture his erring sponse-
He was quite unsuccessful, we learn, in
his efforts to persuade th'e lady to retain
to his bosom, although he spoke to her
in words never so eloquent, in words
never so winning
After much diplomacy on each side,
with great plottings, a compromise was
effected, whereby the Male darling of
yore should live with his spouse and
should enjoy; in addition, the high feli
city of the society of the male darling of
the present. And in pursuance of this
plan, the three are now living in triple
bliss in Bedford.
This is the raciest instance of domes
tic joy within our knowledge. The lady
is certainly privileged. She has a sober
husband of forty-five, and she .has a gay
young stripling of nineteen. When she
further increases her supply of lovers
we trust . her tAodestyywill not...prevent
the annopncerpettt ofthe fact.
SUMMER : The editor or th'e`
GermantoWn TelegraTiV4ys':
"Are have long be'ed l&raitor of the
summer pruning of fruit trees, of all si
zes: Full twenty years ago we were
convinced of its good" results.' It is ad
vantageous in two ways : First, by short
ening in the rapidly groWing br'anches,
it produces fruit spare for the following
year, and brings the trees into any de
sired form. Second, when larger limbs
are removed, the wound, instead of leav
ing a bare, protruding and decaying
stump, beautifully heals up, making a
permanently sound amputation.
'The period when this pruning should
be done, is one of prime importance.
We see June recommended, while the
trees are in their full first growth. With
out having experimented, and looking
to the condition of the trees, in this
month, it does not meet our assent. We
do not believe that it is advisable to
prune before the first growth of the sea
son is completed, because of the imma
turity of the wood, which must produce
in the second growth less vigorous
shoots, besides losing, to a large extent,
the yield of fruit the Succeeding yetir,
which is sure to follow judicious shorten
iog-in at a later period.
"In oar judgement 'summer pruning'
should take place between the fifteenth
of July and tenth of August=a period
when the sap is quiescent and nature is
resting - awhile from her Jabot% We
speak from our own knowledge of the
value of midsummer pruning of trees,
large or small."
NEW CLOTHES.—Said Joe to Bill—
both were old bummers, .and both terri
bly - dry :
"Bill, if you'll treat, I'll tell you where
you can get a whole snit of clothes on
six months' trust,"
"Will you, though ? Now, no foolin',
Billy."
"True as preachin' I will," said Joe,
and the parties took a drink at Bill's
expense, when Joe, with the twinkling
of an eye, said :
"You go up to the recruiting rendez
vous, and tell 'em yer want a suit of
clothes. They'll give them to yer on
six months trust."
Bill said his health was so delicate
that he couldn't "list."
TIIE PRESIDENT'S LATEST.—The New
York Times says that a gentleman, in
conversation with Mr. Lincoln, on Fri
day, remarked that nothing could defeat
his re-election but Grant's capture of
Richmond, to be followed by his nomi
nation at Chicago and acceptance.'
"Well," said the President, "I feel very
much like the man who said he didn't
want to die particularly, but if he had
to die, that was precisely the disease he
would like to die of."
Ifir In the city of New York, it is
stated that a number of the butchers
have closed their establishments for
want of business—many people, from
the enormous prices demanded, having
stopped buying •meat and others living
on salt meat—such as pork, ham, and
shoulders.

A HOME FOR SALE.--How much we
dislike to read so sad an announcement
in the advertising department of the
papers I Not a house and grounds only,
but all the long, cheering memories and
•tender associations of the place, that
enrich it with a wealth beyond the com
putation of .business men, the traders in
homesteads and other classes of real
estate. It is a sorry day for a man and
the more so for a family--when he is
obliged to _give up his home and go
drifting again over the world. No ex
perience like this shocks the sensative
heart. All gone, all deserted 1 The
lights shining no more in the window.—
The familiar faces no longer pressed
against the panes. The fires dead and
gone out. The smoke no more curling
from the chimneys. The dear voices
will not be heard there, again, though
the man pass and repass the house daily.
Ah, there is indeed no desolation of a
sort like this His must be a hard and
undeveloped nature that can contem
plate such a scene without the deepest
emotion. To lose one's home, is to lose
nearly all that earth has to offer of hap
piness to man. •
OBEYING rtiF. , PniESt-LAn Irishman
made a midden rus h into a druggist's shop,
took frcim his pocket a soda-ater bottle,
filled td the brim with some pare liquor,
and handing it across the counter ex
claimed!
"There doctor, snuff that, will you ?"
The doctor did as requested and pro
nounced the article to be genuine whis
ky.
"Thank yon doctor," said the Irishman
Hand it to me again, if you please.'
The doctor did as directed, and asked
what he meant.
"Och, thin," said Pat, `if you will have
it, the priest tould me not to drink any
of this unless I got it from the doctor.--
ao, here's your health and the. priest's
health."
erlt is related that when Humboldt
was asked, "Why the male of the human
species offered an exception to the rule
so general among all other animals, that
the male is handsomer than the fe
male ?" he answered, after a moment's
reflection, I deny the fact ! It is our
natural gallantry that makes us think
women more beautiful than men. The
women do not concur in the opinion."
Humboldt was a philosopher, and it
wouldn't be modest to contradict him,
on the.main pOint";' while; as to the last
proposition—that women think men
handsomer than themselves—if it be
true, the dear creatures won't thank us
for agreeing with them. In this double
dilemma, we eay—notbing,
ffir A Western Court has recently de
cided that a kissis u valid consideration.
It seems` that an old bachelor—these
old bachelors, by the way, are useless
institutions, any how you can fix it—
offered a young lady a pony for a kiss.
The young damsel accepted the offer
and gave the kiss ; but the mean old cur
mudgeon, after receiving the oscillatory
salute, refused to stand by his part of
the contract. A suit was therefore en
tered, and the jury decided that the
pony, or its value, should be given to
the girl.
Gs' A large proportion of the public
may not be aware that the use of zinc
vessels for domestic purposes is extreme
ly dangerous. Vinegar, cider, wine, and
in fact all acids which remained in zinc,
become poisonous more or less violent ;
this is even the case with milk, which
contains powerful acid termed acid-la
tique. Various cases of sickness, cholic
and even many deaths of young child
ren, have occurred, the cause of which
has been clearly traced to the use of
milk that has been in contact with this
'metal.
ur The Government lands in the
United States now amount to fourteen
hundred thousand millions of acres.
Two millions and a half of acres have
alreadrbeen sold for thirty-four millions
of dollars. At one-third of a cent per
were the remaining lands would pay off
the whole national war debt, though it
might be four thousand five hundred
millions of dollars. At ten cents per
acre it, would pay off that debt thirty
times over. Ought such a means of pay
