Rumble I if: Tell me not that he's a poor man, That his dress is coarse and bare; Tell me not his daily . pittance Is a workman's scanty fare. Tell me not his birth is humble, That his perentage is low ;: Is he honest in his action? That is all I want to know. Is his word to be relied on ? • Has his character no blame? Then I care not if he's low born— Then I care not whence his came. Would:he from an unjust action Turn away with scornful eye ? Would he, then, defraud another? Sooner on the scaffold die. Would he spend his hard gained earnings On a brotherin distress? Would he succor the afflicted And the weak one's wrongs redress? Then he is a man deserving Of my love and my esteem, And I care not what his birth place In the eyes of man may seem.

ANECDOTE OF ADMIRAL FARRAGIIT..-- When Admiral Farragut was ten years of age, his father, then an officer of rank in the United States navy, and high in the estimation of the Government, said in his son's hearing, that when he ( the boy) was old enough to make a contract and keep it, belied a bargain to offer him. The son rose up and asked his father to state the terms of the contract. The Admiral said : " The proposal that I iotend'to make is this, If you will not smoke nor chew tobacco, drink intoxica ting drinks Bar strong wines, till you are 21 years of age, I will then give you $1000." "I am old enough to make that bargain now," said young Farragut. " I will accept the offer?' The bargain was closed. And on the statement of young Farragut's majority, the cash was handed over. or A good joke.—A certain gentle. man,- living in Nashville, who shall be nameless, was to have been married on Friday night. The bride was blushingly expectant, the minister and company had arrived. Imagine the feelings of all concerned when it was announced that the candidate for connubial bliss was '' hang " on a jury; and there he staid that night. QAn old woman, on a visit to her city daughter saw, for the first time, a waterfall. " What do you call that great big stuffed bag, Mary Y" "That's a waterfall, ma." "A waterfall ! Looks more like a laud elide." Pro Never pat off till to morrow what you can do to day," said an advis ing mother to her little son. " Welt, then, mamma, let us eat the raspberry pie - that is in the cupboard," was the child's precocious reply. Gir Have nothing to do with ap angry man.

It is easily done ; a left-off garment to the man who needs it, a kind word to the sorrowful, an encouraging expression to the striving—trifles in themselves light as air—will do it, at least for the twenty-four hours. And if yon are young, depend upon it, it will tell when you are old ; and if you are old, rest assured it will send you gently and happily down the stream of time to eternity. By the most simple arithmet ical sum, look at the result. If you send one person, only one, happily through the day; that is three hundred and sixty five in the course of the year. And supposing.yon live forty years only after you commence that course of medicine, you have made 14,600 beings happy ; at all events, for alime." A DEVOUT DINNER.—W a have heard of having a piano for tea, but a German paper of Philadelphia, gives , the follow ing about a hymn book for dinner : "On Sunday last, one of our German housewives, in her hurry to get ready for church, forgot to put the bacon into the pot of sauerkrout, which forms their usual Sunday dinner, and is generally left boiling during the hours of service. " Not until the last ringing of the bells for church did our good dame think of this mistake, when she hastened to .‘he pantry, cut down a good slice of bacon, took it under her arm, put the hymn book in the pot of kraut, and hastened to her devotions. " We have not heard how the husband relished his dinner." A BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM.—In the moun taine of Tyrol, it is the custom of the women and children to come out at bed time, and sing their national song until they hear their husbands, fathers and brothers answer them from_the hill on their return home.. On the shores of the Adriatic each a custom prevails. There the wives of the fishermen come down about sunset and sing a melody. After singing the first stanza, they listen awhile for an answer from off the water, and continue to sing and listen till the well known voice comes borne on .the waters, telling that the loved ona is al most home. RIGHT SMART CORN.-A. Missourian informed a traveller who inquired about his corn, that "each stalk had nine ears on it, and was fifteen feet high." "That's nothing to our corn," replied the traveller; "up in Illinois, where I came from, we always had nine ears to each stalk, and a peck of shelled corn hanging to each tassel ; but _we never could raise any field beans with it." vir b y r " Because the corn grew so fast it always pulled the beans up I" Sir A sailor being asked how he liked his bride, replied, " Why, d'ye see, I took her for to be only half of me, as the parson says, bat dash me if she isn't twice as mach ss I. I'm only a tar and she's a Tartar." Sr John asked Julia if she would marry him.

Like other great changes, it has required time for its inception ; but it is now act ually started, and promises to be sweep ing and thorough. Governments are proverbially sluggish in the adoption of innovations. But prejudice has been at last overcome, and only the recent achievement at Koniggratz was needed to rouse all Europe from its lethargy, and open the eyes of the world to a fall appreciation of the last great improve ment in fire arms. Though Prussia has been the first to effect an entire radical change in her small arms, and to demonstrate to _the world its advantage, yet it is due our own Government to have the credit of fostering that special improvement, which secures the consummation of enc odes in this direction. More than a year ago, our Government organized a com mission to inveetigate - the subject Of breech-loading arms, and report upon the merits of such specimens as might be presented for examination. The ex periments were continued for many months, with a great variety of guns. The report . of the deliberations of that commission has not yet been made pub lic, but it cannot be doubted by those who are acquainted with the trials made that the new Remington breech loading rifle will be approved as the moat effect ive weapon of the kind , that has yet been produced. Since that time, as fast as samples could be procured, similar trials of this gun have been in progress in several of the countries of Europe ; thus far with but one result—the most favorable. In these trials, the desiderata are, of course, extent of range, portability, du rability, accuracy, safety and conveni ence of handling in action, simplicity and cheapness of construction, and final ly, capacity for the most rapid firing. The superiority in other respects being easily established, and in most cases readily conceded, competition has been attempted almost solely in respect to the rapidity of firing. And here 'again, the success is most triumphant. In none of the public trials is its rate of firing quoted at less than thirteen shots per minute, while in the hands of an adept it has oftener exceeded sixteen shots per minute. In the report just received of a recent trial in England, it is stated that " the Remington gud was fired 41 times in less than three minutes while the Spencer gun was fired only 26 times in the same space of time." ( Morever, it is to be noted that the use of the Remington gun is not attended with the dangers and disadvantages of a magazine in the breech, which is neces sary to the Spencer gun.) But, more important than all hitherto, is the last news from Austria. The Vienna cor respondent of the London Times says : Linder & Remington will have the hon or of seeing their system tried in actual combat ;" and mach more, to the effect that Austria's decision is not doubtful; also that "all the resources of private and public works are to be taxed for the supply of these new descriptions of firearms." Confirmatory of the above, we learn that Messrs. E. Remington & Sons, of Ilion, have just received a dis patch by the Atlantic cable, saying Austria has adopted the Remington arm, France impatient for the arrival of the sample guns ordered. Apropos to this, we learn that the samples for France have probably by this time just reached their destination, while the ad ditional guns ordered by England are also now ready for shipment. The Min ister of War of Belgium has applied for authority to manufacture Arms in that Cotintry under the Remington Patent. Thus all betokens the eventual adoption of this gun as the standard arm - of the world. The peculiar feature of novelty in this invention consists in the application of a swinging breach piece, pierced by a firing pin, to a tritrrel bored " through and through," and acting in combination with a tumbler attached to the hammer, so that the curved edges of the tumbler and the breech piece will correspond and interlock to brace against . the recoil. Thus Win a.daptable to any style of bar. rel; and can be used in. the -pistol, car bine or sporting gat, as well as in, •the field arm. There being a large quantity of supe rior Springfield rifles in the various Bennis of this country, an economical method of altering them to effective breech loaders, has also been devised by the Messrs. "gemington, which mar (rho viate for a time the expense of inanufac turing_entirely new arms of the itnprov est patter n-,./iticai iferold. VOL. XIII.--NO. 5.

"Shure and I'll tell you how to get rid of 'ern," said an Irishman. " Pray, how ?" "Lend money to the poor ones, and borrow money of the rich ones, and neth er sort will iver trouble you egin." An editor, speaking of complaints of readers that he doesn't publish all the local items that they desire to see, justly observes that it is often their own fault in not sending the facts. He says he don't like to publish a birth after the honeymoon is ever, or the death of e man after hie widow is married again.

Speaking of a beautiful brunette belle of an Illinois city, our friend accounts for.the brownness of her complexion by the tact that she has been ao often toas ted.
