Young Grimes, Old Grimes is dead—that good old man, We ne'er shall see him more ; But he has left a son who bears The name that old Grimes bore. He wears a coat of latest cut, His hat is new and gay He cannot bear to view distress, So turns from it away. His pantitare gaiters—fitting snug O'er patent leather shoes; His hair is by a barber curled— He smokes cigars and chews. A chain of massive gold is borne Above his flashy vest; His clothes are better every day Than. were old Grimes' best. In Fashion's court he constant walks, Where he delight doth shed ; His hands are white and very soft, But softer is his head. Hays six feet tall—no post mars straight— His teeth are pearly white ; In habits he is sometimes loose, And sometimes very tight. His manner is of sweetest grace, voice of softest tone; His diamond pin's the very one That old Grimes used to own. His dyed moustache adorn his face, His neck a scarf of blue ; He sometimes goes to church for chance, And sleeps in grimes. pew. He sports the fastest "cab" in town, Is always quick to bet ; He never knows who's President, But thinks "Old Tip's in yet." lie has drunk wines of every kind, And liquors cold and hot ; Young Grimes, in short, is just the sort Of man—old Grimes was not. Household Cares. Mrs. Kirkland has very truly said that woman is never really and healthily happy without household cares. But to perform housework is too frequently considered degrading. Even where the mother, in obedience to the traditions of her youth, condescends to labor oc casionally, the daughters are frequently brought up in perfect idleness, take no bodily exercise except that of walking in fine weather, or riding in cushioned carriages, or dancing at a party. Those, in short, who can afford servants, cannot bernean themselves, as they think, by do mestic labors. The result is, too fre quently, that ladies of this class lose what little health they started life with, becoming feeble in just abqut the pro portion as they become fashionable. In this neglect of household cares, Ameri can ladies stand alone. A German lady, no matter how elevated her rank, never forgets that doTestic labors conduce to the health of mind and body alike. An English lady, whatever may be her posi tion in society, does-not neglect the af fairs of her household, and, even though she has a housekeeper, devotes a por tion of her time to this, her true and hap piest sphere. A contrary life to this re sults in a lassitude of mind often as fatal to health as the neglect of bodily exercise. The wife who leaves her household cares to her domestics, generally pays the pen alty which has been affixed to idlenese since the foundation of -tne world, and either wilts away from sheer ennui, or is driven into all sorts of fashionable follies to find employment for their mind. If household cares were more gensrally at tended to by ladies of the family, there would be comparatively little backbiting, gossiping, enviousness, and other kin dred sins, and women in good society would be much happier and much more truly lovable. . THE DEVIL TO PAY.—This phrase doubtless originated in a printing office on some Saturday night's settlement of weekly wages. "John," says the pub lisher to the bookkeeper, "how stands the cash account?" "small balance on, band, sir." "Let's see," rejoins the pub lisher, "how far will that go towards satisfying the hands ?" John begins to figure arithmetically—so much due to Potkins, so mach to Typhus, so much to Gruble, and so on through a dozen dittos. The publisher stands aghast. "Here's not money enough by ajug "No, sir ; besides there is the devil to Pay-" Dryden was so fond of reading that hie wife one day exclaimed: " wish I were a book ; that I might always be in your company." " I wish you were an almanac," he replied, "so that I could change every year." er Weak doses of washboard are now recommended to ladies who complain of , dyspepsia. Young men troubled in the' name way maybe cured by a strong dose or wood '. ; saw Por The Jrctriettian Intgrtpeme. A man may lose his money, his house may be destroyed by fire, hishe'alth may give way. But all' these things may be restored to him, and even like patient Job; a double portion may be given , him. But the poor drunkard hail no such flattering prospects before him. His character is gone—his health shat tered—his purse empty, ,his family wretched, and not a redeeming trait in his character to lift him back in the confidence and esteem of those who once respected him. Who is responsi ble for such mercy ? 100,000 drunkards die annually, who is it that sends such a mighty army to a-dishonored grave ? and causes the groans and screams of wives and children to ascend Heavenward ? Who is it that fills our prisons—our hospitals—our houses of-refuge? Who is it that doubles our taxes, perverts the morale, disturbs the peace of com munity? We answer the Rumseller has a great deal to do in this wretched busi ness. In justification of their conduct many say we don't sell to drunkards. No, no, oar house is a respectable one— oar customers are the elite of the town. These rumselloys are doing more to per petuate drunkenness than those who sell to drunkards only, because as soon as one poor drunkard falls, here comes one from these respectable houses to take his place. If rumsellere were agreed to sell liquors to none bat the intemperate in a very short time this terrible scourge would be entirely removed. Moderate drinkers we beg of you to cease drink ing. A little effort on your part would soon send a thrill of joy to many bleed ing fearts. As patriot lovers of your country, here you have a glorious oppor tunity of contributing largely to the happiness of the community. Dr. Smith says "The liquor traffic is a cancer in society, eating out its vitals, and threat ening destruction ; and all attempts to regulate it will not only prove abortive, but aggravate the evil. No there must be no more efforts to regulate the can cer; it must be eradicated—not a root must be left behind; for until this be done, all 'classes must continue exposed to become the victims.of strong drink; and the woe in the text must abide. Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that putteth the bottle to him." Come then, friends of the Temperance cause, let us buckle on more tightly than ever the weapons of a good war fare, cry aloud and spare not. Our time is short, our day is drawing to a close. " Whatever our hands find to do, do it with all oniatnight." And if we should only he successful in ehutting up one rum shop or saving one poor drunkard from a drunkard's grave or convincing one moderate drinker of his danger, and thus preventing him from going into the drunkard's army, if we should by our la bor accomplish but this, we can say our life has not been altogether in vain. It will be a greater victory than "lie that taketh a city." Go on in your good work, and you shall have the prayers of the good to encourage you ; and many yet utihorn may 'rite ,up pnd call you blessed. " Then with Christ in the heart, the hope • of glory we can say when the hotir of our departure comes" we have fought the goodfight, we have finiphed our course and a':urown of glory awaits us in the house of 'the Wined I Ct. M. C. "STATE OF MATBIPIOATY."—qhe State of matrimony' bas-at last been bounded and described by some out West student, who says : "It is one of• the United States. It is bounded by hugging and kissing on one side, and cradles and ba biekon the other. Its chief productions are population, broomsticks, and staying out late at night. It was discovered by Adam and Eve, while trying to find a passage oat of paradise.

For the principle roads leading to this interest ing State, consult the first pair of bright eyes you run against." A GOOD Ducui.prrom.--A pious divine of the old school : "A drunkard is the annofanoe of modesty, the.trouble of the caterpillar of industry, the tunnel of wealth, the ale , house benefactor, the beggar's companion, the constable's troll. ble, the woe of his wife, the scoff of his neighbor, his own shame, the picture of a beast, and the monster of a man-.° skr A tragedian had- ; hie nose broken A lady on one occasion said to , him "I like your acting, but I cannot get over your nose."

Such a course may be had by all, as the expense and time necessary for a thorough pre paration can readily be spared from the earnings of every industrious youth in the country. Three months only are necessary for a preparation that shall introduce any farmer's son, teacher or mechanic, into a business position that shall bring him a good salary, and that may sad him on to a business success. At Philadelphia, Pa., a system of in struction has been introduced into J. C. Muinford's Business and Telegraph College that must be thoroughly practi cal, and work a revolution in commer cial instruction in all schools having pupils enough so that it may be intro duced. Unfortunately this system of instruction can only be carried out in a few of the larger schools,in the. United States, as it requires for its successful operation a great number pf students in daily attendance. This course is re ceiving the encouragement and enthusi astic support of the leading business men and educators throughout the country, and is drawing for this College patronage from nearly every State in the Union. The practical arrangement of every department makes it profitable for young men to come hundreds of miles to enjoy its advantages, as at no other school in the country can equal advantages be had for business educa tion. REV. ALEXANDER CLARE, Editor of Clarke's School Visitor r in a notice of that institution, said:-" The Commer cial College of J. C. Mumford combines in its plan more , practicalities, and bet ter disciplines its students for success ful business than any similar institution with which I am acquainted in the city, and but one in our whole country in any wise compares with it, and that one pur sues a method somewhat the same bat perhaps not as fully developed. Such a report from Rev. Alexander Clark is strong evidence of the charac ter and 'standing of this school. This College from its plan of instruction, in vites the attention of the masses, and as it issues many publications explanatory of its working, which are mailed free of charge, we suggest that those interested in education send an application for cir culars, as they will no doubt be furnish ed immediately on receipt of request. Address, J. 0. Mumford, Philadelphia. bum WIT.-A son of the Emerald . Isle, but not himself green, was taken up (for he was at the time down) near Man assas Junction, by a confederate scouting party. He wore no special uniform of either army, but looked more like a spy than a volunteer, and on this ground was arrested. "Who are you ? what is your name, and where are you from ?" where the first questions put by the armed par ty. Pat rubbed his eyes, scratched his head, and answered, "Be gorra ) gentle men, this is ugly quistions to answer, and before I answer any of thim,. I'd be after axin ye, by ye're lave, the same thing." "Well," said the leader, "we are of Scott's army and belong to Wash ington." "All right," said Pat, "I know ed ye was gintlemen, for I am the same. Long life to Gineral Scott." "Aha 1" replied the scout, "now, you rascal, you are a prisoner !" and he seized Pat by the shoulder& "How is that—are we not friends?'; inquired Pat. "No 1" Was the answer. "We belong to General Beauregard's army." " The‘a ye told me a lie my boys, and thinking it might be so, I tould ye another., Now tell me the truth, and I'll tell the truth too." "We belong to the State of South Carolina." "So do I 1" promptly responded Pat ; "and to all other States of the eountry, too; and there I'm thinking I beat the whole of yez. Da ye think I'd come all the way from ould Ireland to belong to one State, when I'd a right to belong to the whole of them ?" Pat was taken to the camp, but, as nothing could be made to appear against him, he was disekarged. 0 n a trial for Main! some years since, a medical witness, in his evidence, informed the court that. on examining the 'prosecutor, he found him suffering frai a seVere contusion of the integuments under, the left orbit, with great extravasation of blood and eechymosis in, the. surrounding- cellular tissue ) which ,was, in, a tumefied state..

"Well, I have lost my pencil—give me a piece of chalk." And the doctor chalked a prescrip tion upon the door, telling the afflicted female to give that to her son when he awoke. "Take it, my boy take it," said the old woman, lifting the door from its hinges and carrying it to the sick youth when his eyes opened. "I don't know how you are to do it, I am shure, but the doctor says it is good, and you had bet ter try it." "My dear," said a husband to his af fectionate better half, after a little squab ble, ,"you'll certainly never be permitted to go to Heaven." "Why not ?" Be cause you will be wanted as tormentor below." One of the Siamese Twins was drafted by the, rebels during the war, but was at last declared exempt on account of hav ing an only brother depending on him for support. A friend says he knows of but one branch of employment which is very profitable, and but little followed, and that is, "Mind your own business." "Do you suppose that a person can see any better by the aid of glasses 2" said a man in company. "I know he can," answered a toper, "for after I have taken half a dozen glasses, I can see double." As a gentleman was returning home one night from a fashionable party, there was an alarm of fire. He attempted to cry, "Fi—fi—fi—," but t'was uo use— he was so drunk that ho could'ht get it out, so he gave a boy ten cents to cry it for him. "I understand," said a deacon to his neighbor, "that you are becoming a hard drinker." "That is slander," re plied the neighbor, "for no man can drink easier." "Come, John, sit down and eat these potatoes:and let your whiskey alone, for Wit poor stuff to live upon." "Ah, Carty, my jewel, I would take your advice, but the tatere are so corky." "All the better, John, for stopping your bottle." A clodhopper hired himself out to la bor for life, at eight dollars per month, with an agreement that he should have half hie pay at the end of every month, and the rest when his time was out. A western paper states that the young temperance ladies at the north, now kiss young gentlemen's lips to see if they have been tasting tody. This ,mus t be ticklish business. 'Pray, can you tell me the way to the penitentiary ?" asked a stranger.— "yes sir—pick the first man's pocket that you meet!. "Nimrod, do you know the meaning of the word amphibious?"
