What raptures in their glances glow, Rich tints their cheeks disclose, And in the little dimples there, Young smiling Loves repose. I love the ladies, every one— The blonde so soft and fair— With looks so mild and languishing, And bright and golden hair ; How lovely are their sylph like forms, Their alabaster hue, And their blushes far more beautiful Than rose buds bathed in dew. I love the ladies, every one— E'en those whose graceful forms Are rugged as the oak that's borne A hundred winters storms— The young, the old, the stout, the thin, The short as well as tall, Widows and wives, matrons and maids, 0, yea, I love them all. I love the ladies, every one— None but a wretch would flout 'em= This world would be a lonely place If we were left without 'em; But lighted by a woman's smile, Away all gloom is driven, And the most humble home appears Almost a little heaven. I loxe the ladies, every one— They're angels all, Uod bless 'em ! And what can greater pleasure give, Than to comfort and caress 'em I call myself a temperance man, So I'll drink their health in water— Here's to the mothers, one and all, And every mother's daughter. Wouldn't Give In. An English clergyman relates the fol lowing amusing anecdote : The most singular reply I ever list ened to was made to me last summer, upon the occasion of our school feast, by a carter boy of about fourteen. Ev erybody had exhibited a tolerable appe tite, but this boy bad eaten to repletion, so that when I saw him suddenly turn very pale, and attempt to rise from the table, I began to fear he had made him self ill. " What's the matter, my good boy ?" inquired I, while a sympathizing throng of philanthropic ladies, who had been acting as waiters upon the company, gathered around the sufferer. "Do you feel unwell?' " Ity stomach aches, sir," replied the boy with great disauctoess. " Dear me," said I, almost suffocated with my endeavors to suppress laughter, "don't you think you had better go home?" "No, no, sir," replied the lad with determination. "It will ache a precious sight more afore I ha' done we him. And I am bound to say that he did not subriut to the threatened dictation, but devoured two slices of cold pudding in addition to his previous supplies, as well as an enormous bunch of bread and cheese. A VALUABLE REO.II.E.—A correspond ent of the Philadelphia Ledger writes that six years' experience has convinced him that a coat of gum copal varnish, applied to the soles of boots and shoes, and repeated as it dries, until the pores are filled and the surface shines like polished mahogany, will - make the soles waterproof, and also cause them to last three times as long as ordinary soles. gar To keep flab from smelling cut of/their noses, fllttptu'Vtait Vonsillbania a Janne for ikt Nome (Circle. MARIETTA, PA., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1866. Daniel Bryan's Oath. A TRUE STORY Daniel Bryan had been a lawyer of eminence brit had fallen, through intoxi cation, to beggary and a dying condition. Bryan had married in his better days the sister of Moses Felton. At length all hopes were given up. Week after week would the fallen man lie drunk on the floor, and not a day of real sobriety marked his course. I doubt if such another case was known. He was too low for conviviality for those whom he would have associated with would not drink with him. An alone in his office or chamber, he still continued to drink, and even his very lite seemed the offspring of hisjug. In early spring Moses Felton had a call to go to Ohio. Before he set out he visited his sister. He offered to take her with him, but she would not go. "hut why stay here?" urged the bro ther. " You are fading away, and dis ease is upon you. Why should you live with such a brute ?" " Hush, Moses, speak not so," answer ed the wife, keeping back her tears. "I will cot leave him now, but he will soon leave me, II e cannot live much longer." At that moment Daniel entered the apartment. He looked like a wanderer from the tomb. He had his hat on his jug in his hand. "Ab, Moses, how are ye ?" he gasped, for he could not speak plainly. The visitor looked at him a few mo ments in silence. Then, as his features assumed a cold, stern expression, he said in a strongly emphasised tone : " Daniel Bryan, I have been your best friend but one. My sister is an angel though matched with a demon. I have loved you, Daniel , as I never loved man before; you were generous, noble and kind; but I hate you noir, for you are a perfect devil incarnate. Look at that woman. She is my sister—she now might live with we in comfort, only that she will not do it while you are alive ; when you die she will come to me. Thus do I pray that God will soon give her joys to my keeping. Now, Daniel Ido sin- cerely hope that the first intelligence that reaches me from my native place after I shall have reached my new home may be—THAT—YOU—ARE—DEAD I" "Stop, Moses; I can reform yet." "You cannot. It is beyond .your power. You have had inducements enough to have reformed halfthe sinners of creation, and you are lower than ever before. Go and die, sir, as soon as you can, for the moment that sees you thus will not find me among the mourners." Bryan's eyes flashed, and he drew him self proudly up. "Go," he said, iu the tone of the old sarcasm. "Go to Ohio, and I'll send you pews. Go, sir, and watch the post. 1 will yet make you take back your words." "Never, Daniel Bryao, never." "You shall, 1 swear it." With these words Daniel Bryan hurl= ed the-jug into the fire-place, and while yet a thousand fragments were flying over the floor he strode from the house. Mary shrank fainting on the floor. Moses bore her to the had, and, then, having called in a neighbor, he hurried away, for the stage was waiting. For a month Daniel hovered over the brink of the grave, but he did not die. "One gill of brandy will save you," said the doctor, who saw that the abrupt removal of stimulants from the system, that for long years had almost subsisted on nothiug else, was nearly sure to prove fatal. "You can surely take a gill and not take any more." "Aye," gasped the poor man, "take a gill and break my oath. Moses Felton shall never hear that brandy and rum. killed me. If the want of it can kill me then let me die ; bat I won't die—l'll live till Moses Felton shall eat his words." He did live. An iron will conquered the messenger death sent—Daniel Bryan lived. For one month he could not even walk without help. Mary helped him. A year passed away, and Moses Felt on returned to Vermont. He entered the court house at Burlington, and Dan iel Bryan was on the HOOr pleitding for a young man who had been indicted for forgery. Felton started in surprise. Never before had such torrents of elo quence poured from his lips. The case was given to the jury, and the youth was acquitted. The successful counsel turn ed from the court room and met Moses Felton. They shook hands but did not: speak. When they -reaehed-a spot where none othere could hear theta Bryan stoppla "Moses," he said, "do you remember the words you spoke to me a year ago ?" " I do, Daniel" " Will you take them back—unsay them now and forever ?" "Yes, with all my heart." " Then I , am in part repaid." "And what must be the remainder of payment ?" asked Moses. • " I must die an honest, unperjured man I The oath that has bound me thus far was made for life." That evening Mary Bryan Was among the happiest of the happy. INTEGRITY AND GRACE—OnIy to bean tronest man, in the highest and genuine ly Christian sense, signifies more than most of ns can conceive. We make room for laxity here that we may let in grace, and do not hold ourselves to that real integrity that is wanted, to obtain or be in that grace. Oh, how loosely, irresponsibly, carnally do many profess ing Christians live covetous, sensual, without self government, eager to be on high terms with the world, praying, as it were, in the smoke of their own vani ties and passions, making their sacrifi ces in a way of compounding with their obligations. Little do they conceive, meantime, how honest a man must be to pray; how heartily, simply, totally he must mean what he prays for. Perhaps he prays much, and prays-in public, and has it for a continual wonder that he gets on so -poorly, and that God, kir some mysterious reason, does not answer his prayers. Sometimes he will even be a little heart broken by his failures, and will moisten his face with tears of com plaint. He has at times made great struggles, it may be,lo freshen the fire that was burning in him, and yet, for some reason, he is all the while losing ground. Bis faith becomes a band with. out fingers, laying hold of nothing, The more he pumps at the well of his joys, the dryer he goes. It is as if there were some dread fatality against him, and he wonders where it Is. Commonly it is here—that he wants rectitude. He is trying to be piously exercised in his feelings when he is slack in his integrity. He has been so much afraid of being self righteous, it may be, that he' is not righteous at all. When he is loose in the conscience, how can he be clear in his feelings I—Bushnell. ear A lady at Lexington, Mo., pur chased a "fizzle dress " or " tow head," one day last week Going to bed, she hang lr head gear on the post at the foot of her bad. Being awakened by some unusual noise daring the night, she raised herself up in bed, and seeing the unusual eight, she imagined a curly headed negro was peering over the foot. board. Obeying a very natural impulse she sprang from the - bed, and in ht alarm and inabillity to escape, she seiz ed - the supposed intruder by the head, and with a terrific scream fell fainting to the floor. The noise awoke the mother of the young lady, who immedi ately struck a light, and rushed to the scene of the alarm. There lay the daughter, pale and motionless, on the floor, with the imaginary head of' Ouffy held at arm's length in a deadly grasp Restoratives and a momentary survey of the scene, soon unravelled the mystery. gig - An invalid once sent for a physi- cian and after detaining him for some time with a description of his pains, aches, etc., he thus summed up, "Now, doctor, you have humbugged me too long with your good for.nothing pills and worthless syrups ; they don't touch the real difficulty. I wish you now to strike at the cause of my ailments, if it is in your power to reach it." "It shall be done," said the doctor, at the same time lifting his cane and demolishing a decanter of gin that stood on the side board. " I suppose," said a quack, while feel— ing the pulse of a patient wh'o he'd re luctantly submitted to solicit his ad vice, " I suppose you think me a bit of a humbug ?" " Sir," gravely replied the sick man, "1 was , not aware until now, that you could so readily discover a man's thoughts by feeling his pulse." er God does not ask us to serve him through fear, that is, fear of punishment:.

DIFFERENCE OF TIME. —The inaugura tion of submarine telegraphic communi cation by means of the Atlantic cable, makes it interesting to enquire into the difference of time in the various cities in the different parts of the world. When it is 12 o'clock high noon at New York, it is fifty-five minutes and folly two seconds after 4 P. 31 at London; fifty-seven minutes and twenty-seconds after 6 P. sr., at St. Petersburg ; seven teen minutes and twenty-foar seconds after 7 P. M , at Jerusalem ; fifty-one minutes and forty-four seconds after .6 P. It., at Constantinople ; forty minutes and thirty-two seconds after 4 P. At, at Madrid ; thirty-one minutes and twenty seconds after SP. at, at Bremen , ; forty minutes and thirty-two seconds after 4 P. M., at Dublin ; and forty-one minutes and twenty-fuur seconds after 6 P. Bt., at Florence. The difference of time between the extreme East and West points of the United States is three hours and fifty minutes. In the China sea, between Singapore and China, it is midnight when it is noon at New York. SNARLING.—The way not to be healthy or happy is to keep up an ineessant snarling. If you want to grow lean, ca daverous, and unlovely, excite yourself continually about matters you know nothing about. Accuse other people of wrong doing incessantly, and you will find but little time to see any wrong in yourself. We wish here and now to in form all men of irritable dispositions that they will live longer if they only keep cool, if each men want to die, we have nothing to say ; enarling will kill about as quick as anything we know, air It seems Wigfall escaped from the country by passing himself off, under dis guise, as a paroled soldier. He asked a soldier of the guard what they would do with old Wigfall if they caught him, and the reply being, "0, we would hang him," he remarked, " and you would serve him right. If I should be with you I have no doubt that 1 should be pulling at the end of the rope myself !" ilor A. servant girl, on leaving her place, was accosted by her master as to her leaving. " Mistress is so quick-tem pered that 1 cannot live with her," said the girl. " Well," said the gentleman. you know it is no sooner begun than it is ever." "Yes, sir, and no sooner over than begun again." " How rapidly they build houses now," said Cornelius to an old acquaintance, as he pointed to a two story house ; " they commenced that building only last week, and they are already putting in the lights." "Yes," replied his friend, "and next week they II pat in the liver." A man exclaimed in a tavern; "I'll bet a sovereign I've got the hard est name in the company."

VOL. XIII.--NO. 11. Couldn't Bear Prosperity There is a class of men of whom it ig truthfully said, they cannot bear pros peray. When fortune goes against them, they conduct themselves with cor. rectness ; but let the fickle dame smile upon them, and they rush at once into all sorts of folly and intemperance. Prosperity has ruined people who, so long as they had to struggle with the world, were very excellent and exem plary members of society. There was a singular illustration of this in the Police Court the other day. A gimd-for noth ing looking Wretch was brought up, charged with drunkennoss. It was a clear case. The testimony showed that he had been on a spree for a week. He was asked what he had to say for himself. " Well,yer Honor," said he, " me and my old woman never did live easy to• gether." " That's no excuse for getting drunk," said the Court. "You're right, per Honor, and so it ain't. We used to Eight like cats and dogs together." " Drinking only made it worse ? " put in the Court. " That's true ; she discouraged the life out of me and kept me poor, until last week, when " " Well, what did she do last week P" '' She died, yer Honor." "Andyou have been drunk ever since." "Yes, yer Honor; I never could bear prosperity." Not,efraid of the Negro. The Shasta Courier, edited by a loyal Irish American, is not afraid of being outstripped by the negroes. He says: "If God has given the power to the negro to be4ome the equal of, or superior to, the white man, just so sure that su periorty will be recognized by all ; and in our opinion he has not far to go to become the equal of those who are so tender-footed in refusing equal chances to all the race. The negro has been `handicapped' long enough. Give him an equal chance; ' wait for age' and a fair field. We can't afraid." The Boston Pilot ( Catholic ) gives the following opinions " The black man has the same right to earn his bread on this earth, where God, the Father and Maker of us all, has placed him, as the white man has. He is made in the same image, and the blood of the God-man was shed for him as well as for the more favored white man." air A lady at the Louisville and Nashville depot, the other day, started everybody by crying out, " I've got the cholera!" A fine boy soon made his advent into the world, and it proved on ly to be a new kind of cholera infantum. sr A luckless undergraduate of Cam bridge, being examined for his degree, and failing in every subject upon which he was tried, complained that he had not been questioned upon the things which he knew. Upon which the exam ing master took off about an inch of paper, and pushing it towards him, de sired him to write upon that all he knew. 7 A Connecticut peddler asked an old lady to whom he was trying to sell some articles, if she could tell him of any road no peddler had ever traveled. " I know of but one and that is the road to heaven " was the reply. Sir Of all the declarations of love, the most admirable was that which a gentleman made to a young lady who asked him to show her the picture of the one he loved, when he immediately presented her with a mirror. sr A young lady said to her beau, as she held a pot of water in her baud, "Promise to marry me orl'll scald you." " Throw the water," he replied, " I had rather be scalded once than every day in my life." Or Somebody says a baby laughing in its dreams is conversing with angels. Perhaps so—but we have seen them cry ing in their waking hours as though they were having a spat with the devil. sr A Western editor lately married one of hie compositors, another compos itor acting as bridesmaid, the officiating clergyman being a retired printer, and the local, editor giving the bride away.
