FOPS.—But what shall I say of those miserable, despicable sprigs of humanity that live to adorn their pocket handker chiefs and their collars ? Men that walk through society with the thought that the chief end of their life is to engage in the frivolous amusements of the pass ing hoar, and to spend their, time be tween those frivolous amusements and their mirror, thinking of doing nothing and wanting to do nothing; men ;a mil lion of whom might live in the air and we be no more condom of 'their exis tence than of the insects around usAltnen a million of whom might die and• be put in one grave—if you only buried their souls ; men that put on airs of gentility , and niceness and look upon the rade clown, as they call the workingman, with supreme contempt, and pity him ; men that have no respect for th6se that are obliged to get up early and sweep out the store ; men that are just as cer tain to die knaves; if they do not die fools, as there is a law in nature. I. cannot express my abhorrence for these strip plings of folly. And I declare that, in our time of the World, with our illumina tion, with datiee pressing from every side, and with all the inculcations and examples that htve been handed down .to us of discipfAchrietianity ; a man that .filids notlrrdetO do, and has no dis position to do anything, is a fractional man.

MARIETTA, PA:, ATURDAY, MAY 25, 1867. For The /frfariatiani Liquor Meters. The gigantic fiends perpetrated in the evasion of the tax on distilled 11 quors, haVe led to the invention of a Meter that will accurately register eiery_ gallon of liquor that passes through the worm of the' still. With this 'precati tionary arrangement, the frauds will di rainfall•find- the revenue from that source be greatly increased. But a plethoric tree - et:Cry, produced'by tolerating a busi ness. sirdeleterious to the general wel fare; is simply present gain at future lose.- Every gallon of -liquor drank whether in raw whiskey or any of its adulterations„ is so much excessive'wear upon vitality, so much toward the un dermining of the foundations of national .greatness, , for as a Nation's manhood decline§, ell that.is noble and good in its possession passes away. Individnal ruin, is the most, pernicious 'type of national .loss. Man's product ive laboris.of two-fold value. . It is re muneratiVe to the individual, and in creases the wealth of others. The util izing.of a waterpoWer_ to the propelling of a factory, ,benefits the proprietors And enhance§ the value of the surround ing property, by affording a home mark et for various products, while in the pro ilficifCn of any substance that is in itself . • injurious, t h e rt , i s a waste of material that, would serve a useful purpose. Such as the conversion of grain into liquor, which is a calamity that influences the price of every loaf of bread that is bought or sold to feed the hungry. The ruinous policy of legalizing a vice for the gains by taxation, is sadly demon streted in the profligacy that pervades the German States'that licensed gamb ling buses. The fable of the goose that laid a golden egg every day whose owner. killed 'it to obtain them all at once, is applicable to the law making power that encourages personal suicide, for iinmediate gain at the expense of fu ture impoverishment. A. man in an ad joining:countythad a productive chest nut tree, to gather .the fruit of which he -cut it down. This act was no more foolish than' the - sacrifice of human pro ductiveness, for the enrichment of the public . coffers. As liquor, cannot bene fit the system, the use of it is a fraud upon the powers of life. if human in genuity could invent a meter that would exhibit the extent of injury done by this fraud, it would astonish the most zealous opponents of its use, to see the disparity of resalts, that would be exhib- . iced by the two meters. In the scale of tomparison would be seen a few millions of dollars, obtained at the sacrifice of health, happiness and virtue, cauaing the destitution of families, suffering' of • women and children, aria ale commissio n of every form of crime. - it would 'be shameful mockery - to tell that wife who is sorrow stricken, that the liquor which transformed her husband into a demon, and caused him to commit crime,-was a great source of National , wealth, could she not hurl back youteneers by-charg ing you with having furnished the weap on that,caused bier misfortune and there by manifested the short-sighted , wisdom of spending .more money in the trial and conviction ; f one victim of strong drink than is derived from the tax of what is. consumed, by twenty inebriates. Ai a question of political economy alone, the prosperity of the nation demands the `suppression of this monster evil. n, s, THE "DANDY-TRAg."-M New Orleans the pavements rests on acushion of wa ter, whose thickness varies with the amount of the last rain fall. The sand is soon washed out from between the tiricks o .and the latter then lie loosely in position, with tne 'aide gaps ,between them. Fancy now that you have dress ed yourself very elaborately for dinner, or for a select r tea party; let us say in white drill or some light cassimere, your boots are as immaculate as Warren's best can make them. You feel that you are creating a sensation even in the street, and are fondly anticipating the triumph of ' the drawing-room, when, end: denly, you step on one of these pitfalls, and realize, with painful intensity, the exquisite fitness of the sobriquet. in the twinkling of an eye a cascade of dir ty water has spirted up over all your glittering paraphernalia, and reduced you at one fell gush to estate of hope less unpresentability. A mechanic having taken a new . ap prentice, awoke him the first morning at a veiy early'hour by calling out that the family were setting down 'to the table. "Thank - pup said the boy, as he turned over in bed to adjust himself for a new nap ; "Thank you, but I never eat any thing during.the night." it :Ghost Story Analyzed, A house in Milwaukee has,been haunt ed in a particular chamber since the death of it - child; who; as gossips said, had died from parental neglect. The parents left the houle . immediately 'after the death of the child, giving as :.a reaeod, that the associations with theie lostchild were so sad that.they preferred , a change , of residence. Another tenant came fit; and the sleeper in that room was startled at night by the pattering of little feet overhead, by - lo . w moans, and now and then a night would be made more terri ble by au unearthly whistle. The house became tenantless and the curious ed to the haunted chamber. The landlord - felt the necessity of retrieving the character of his house,,and he himself moved into it, he occupying the haunted 'chamber. The first night passed without any ghostly manifesta- Lions, and the second night he went to bed More courageous than ever. Bat noises were heard, and he, not daring to move, lay in terror until morning. He related-his experience to a nei*bor who had more sense than most of his neigh bors, and who proposed an investigation. The Millwankee Sentinel gives this re sult,:: Search was had, and the discov ery made that a couple of doves had their cot in the garret, on which was no floor. These doves there. did their cooing and billing—hence the moans:; the dovee trotted around on the plaaterini—herici the pattering of little feet ; the doves flapped their wings—hence the sound of 47,inged monsters; and the doves displa ced partic!es of plaster that rattled down the room- sides. Bat the whistle.— Whence came that melancholy sound ? Further search discoverd a child's whis tle used to fasten a rattling window— hence occasionally, when the wind blew, thembistle whistled.pand that is the end of the ghost story. WATCHING THE STAII43. Quite all &mim ing incident took place. some time ago in a town about three miles and ~half east froM here, toward 'the rising sun., It appears a young men - had 'been' pay ing some attention to a young lady, but had only ventured hoime as far as the gate till last week, when carried - away With the excitement he ventured to stepz inside, after being assured by the fair damselthat all would be right. Having for a while Anita anxiously' waited for the first star to sboot ) lhe old gentleman of the establishment stepped, into, the• fierier, and looked over spectacles at, the surprised couple, but before any questions were asked, the young lady spoke, up and says, "Pa, we aie waiting to see the stars hoot 1 "Yes, well you are, hey - 1 well go to bed and-I'll situp with this young man, when the stars shoot, I'll tell yer,' re . plied . the interesting parent.

The young man sat a while quietly without speaking, when he got up and looking out oithe window, remarked, -"he didn't think the stars would shoot after all; and guessed heed go. The young man says he shan't very soon forget watching for the: stars to shoot,, and most of all he was, afraid, after the gal went to bed that the , darned things would shute.7-Exchange. GRAVEYARD GAS.-A brilliant ides. It seems a serious thing to make "light' of death, yet a practical Frenchman pro. poses to literally accomplish - this feat. His theory (advanced through the medi um of La Gazette'hiedicale de Lyons) Is that all dead bhdies of - human beings are at present Nested; when'they might as well be utilized by distiiiiation into gas, to be used for illuminating perposes. He remarks :--"Cioal ia.being exhausted, and since the human careasgis capable of supplying a gas of good illuminating power, why, should it not be employed to this end ? In India the idea is already realized. By a process of combustion in , retorts a corpse of common dimensions may be made to yield twenik-five .cubip metres of illuminating gas, which," at a cost of twenty-five centimes per cable metre, would give a value of about eight francs for a body of ordinary size."

And now here, at a vast distance from 'that home, after so, many events of so many years, the feel ing of gratitude which agitated. the -breast of that boy expresses itself on paper.

Pare :the raw potatoes and let them stand an hour ..or so in a basin of water ,in which a pinch• of salt has been added. Boil quickly, when done, drain off the water carefully, and replace the potatoes upon the -stove, in the same vessel in which they were .cooked, to dry.for five ; or ten, minutes. When ready to ~ serve,. take, each potato and squeeze it : gently,—but not enough to destroy the form,—in. a •dry napkin, and place immediately on the table. The -squeezing in-the napkin takes out" all the water and leaves - the potatoes that were before wet and heavy, dry, mealy and delicious. .. .. LYINO- TO Cnq.parar u —the, Rey. nob ert Hall had so great an 'aversion' to every species of falsehood and evasions that he sometimes expressed himself very strongly on the subject. The ' fol lowing is an instance-stated in hie life by Dr. Gregory : Once, while 'he was spending an evening at the house of a friend, a lady who was there on a visit, retired; that her girl of four years old might go to bad. She returned in about half an hour and Said , to the lady` near , her; " She is gone to sleep ;• I put on my night-capsand ltly'dewn beside her, and she -soon dropped off." who overheard this, said, "Fact, me, madam, but do, you wish your child to grow up a, liar ?" Oh, dear, no, I should be shocked at such a thing!" 'Then bear with me while I say, you must never act ;a lie before her ' • child renitre very quick observers, and quick, ly learn that which assumes - to be and is not, is a lie whether acted or spoken." This'wee uttered with a kindness that precluded offence; yet with a seriousness that could not be' forgotten, LovE's STRATAGEM—A funny story is going the rounds in Paris : A lady in the first society was recently' obliged to dismies her nurse on account of an ea case of firemen and private soldiers too often repeated. After Awing as a suc cessor to this criminal a very pretty girl, the lady explaining why the first was sent away, enjoined it on the second not to do likewise. She, admitted that she shouldn't. "I can endure a great deal," said_the ladY, "but soldiers about my kitchen I won't endure." After a week or eight days, the lady came one morn ing into the kitchen, opened a cupbOard, and discovered a youthful military char acter, "Oh; ma'am !" cried the frighten ed girl; "I give you my word I never saw that soldier before in my life; be must have bebn . one of the old ones left over by the,pther girl !" lar A Clergyman gave a toast that was not , very - gallant, at a late fireman's celebration :—"Our fire engines—may they - be like old maids—ever ready, but never wanted.".
