■■ Of love and its fetters beware, Joe,Of girls and their graces be shy,

Don’t venture too near them, ’tis there, Joe, That Cupid his arrows let fly.

Their voices are sweet as the birds, Joe,But they never use nr half what they sav,

And us sure as you list to their words, Joe, You’ll rue it for many a day.

There are eyes that are blue ns the skies, Joe, And usinnoccntjseeming, and pure ;

But then, in the glance of those eyes, Joe,J ov’ro never its safety, be sure.

And, Joe, don’t listen whenever they sing, For i tell you, my fs’iend, it wont do ;

You’ll think the fii'r singer is heavenly thing, And that you are in heaven, too.

There’s no harm, in a pleasssnt talk, Joe, .I f you only know wliat you are saying;

And iso horns its ass evening walk, Joe,Bat those walks alwtiy lengthen to straying.

The little white hand on your arm, Joe,The pressure of yielding fingers,

Iln ve oft such it magical charm, Joe,That for slays and days it lingers.

And wlsat with the looks ttv the soft moonlight, And the tones its together yots Stray,

You’ll he wandering about the rest of the night, And dreaming through, all the next day.

I’ve been young like yourself, you know, Joe, And have scars, tho’ they’re out of sight,

And the wounds on my heart, not a few Joe, Have never recovered quite.

So take the advice of a friend, Joe,And see that you stand aloof

From their arts, for you ntay depend, Joe, That n6 one against them is proof.

Don’t heed when they seek to allure, Joe,But quietly go your own way;

Remember my warning, be sure, joe,Or you’ll rue it for many a day.

“It’s very strange,” mused Blanche Penroy sloirly 'weaving together the Avreath of scarlet autumn leaves with which she was decorating her broad- briuuned straw hat. fcI know so little about him—I have only known him ten days—yet wlien he spoke about leaving Elm Point, last niglit, it seem­ed as if all the sunshine Were gone out of the world for me. Oil, Blanche!. you naughty, naughty little Blanche!” she added leaning forward and apos­trophising tho fair fade mirrored in the glen stream at her feet. “Is it possible that you’ve allowed yourself to fall in love with that tall, dark-eyed fellhw

The roses mounfed up, into her cheek as she wondered witnin herself whether G-ilberfrEvering cared for her.

“I wish I knew,” she -uttered aloud. “Knew what?” demanded a calm

voice, and Mr. Evering seated himself on the log beside her— a straight hand­some man,’ with brilliant dark eyes, rather irregular features, and a deep color glowing throUglrhis olive skin.

Blanche demurely looked up to him. She was not to be taken by storm .thus easily.

“Whether it would rain to-morrow for our picnic. I want to wear my white India muslin!”

“Oh, the picnic ! I had forgotten that when I spoke of leaving to-mor­row. Of course, though, my presence or absence would inake no very great difference.”

Someho^ that scarlet and brown spotted maple leaf required a great .deal of extra adjustment in the rib­bon .of her hat.

“Blanchc'shall I go or stay ?”“Just as you please,” •“No, just as somebody else pleases. :

Yes or no ! A u d i forewarn you that yes means a great deal.”

‘“How much doe? it mean now ?” questioned Blanche, half archly, half timorously.;

“Everything.”“Then you may stay!”“My Blanche—-my little white dai­

sy!” lie whispered, bending his state­ly head over tho slender hand that lay : on the autumn leaves. And Blanche felt that in the golden stillness o f that October dell'she had turned a new page in her-life.

She was very, very happy, and all that day" she seemed, to" be groping through the bright mysteries of a dream. But with the morning came other feelings, alas! that shadow should always follow sunshine in this world of ours. ‘

“I ’m not disposed to he unreasona­ble Blanche,” said Gilbert in a whis­per, as he arranged’ xher white lace shawl for her, amid the merry tumult of the picnic ground, “but I think you have waltzed quite enough with that puppy Birmingham.”

“Jealousy already, Gilbert!” taunt­ed the girl flushed and rosy with the triumphs of her beauty, and the irre­sistible instincts of coquetry. She colored crimson.

“Of course you will do as you please, only I warn you, Blanche, it’s a choice between Birmingham and me. You dance with him at your own risk!” ■ ' . ;

A t that instant "Walter came up, and respectfully asked: “if he could

•haye the pleasure of a polka with Miss Penroy?”

Ancl Blanche, defiant and wilful, and a little piqued, answered :

“Yes.”And; glided away with hev plump

hand on Birmingham’s shoulder. Gil­bert had no business to be so unreas­onable..

His grave, stern face: rather start­led her as she came back-'to the rustic seat of twisted boughs when the! dance had been finished, and Birmingham had gone to bring her an.iced lemon­ade.

“Gilbert, why do’.- you look ' so cross ?"

.“Because I have reason.- I am sor- ry you pay .so little attention to my wishes, Miss Penroy^”

She drew’ ii dr’s elf. up haughtily. ■ . . “You arc beginning ’to dictate rath­

er early sir.” . - *“Have I not the.right ?”

■ ■ “No tiling of the sort, Mr .‘Evering. ’ ’ . - “Be it sor Blanche,” ‘lie'said- in a voice that betrayed hdvr3sd'eep,,the*ar-

have said more but advancing tpAvard her, and when she had leisure to look round Gilbert Avas. gone from her side.

“What have I done!” she thought in dismay. “I ’ll see him this evening,, and coax him into good humor once more. Ho surely can’t be vexed at me for an idle Avord like that.” ’

Ah, little Blanche, i t is not the Avell considered sentence that does all the harm in the Avorld—it is the idle Avord.

“Such a charming day as Ave haAre had, Mrs. Traine,” said Blanche, as she came up the steps of the piazza; as smiling and radiant as if the AVOrm of remorse A va s not' gnaAving at her heart.

“That of course,” said the bloom­ing matron, Avbo Avas reading in an easy chair under the shadoAV of the vines. “But Avhat Sent Mr. Evering aAvay in such a hurry?"

“ Sent him away ?”“Yes— by the evening train. H e

came home, packed his things, and droA’c aAvay as if there was not a mo­ment to lose. I am very sorry ; Ave shall miss him very much.”

Blanche went slOAA’ly up stairs and sat down by her Avindow, looking out at the purple glow of the evening landscape as i f it Avas a featureless blank. So he Avas gone away, and by her own' folly she had lost the price­less treasure of Gilbert Evering’s loA’e.

“I can not Avrite to him, for I do not knoAV his address,” she, said, with clasped hands and tearful eyes. “W ell its m y OAA’n fault, and I must abide by the consequences as best I m ay.”

Blanche Penroy went from the gay summer lounging, pale, a sadder and Aviser wom an; and the November mists drooping over the brick and mortar wilderness of her N ew York home, had never: seemed half so dreary to her before as they seemed now.

“I shall be an old maid,” thought Blanche as she walked up and doAvn the fire-light darkness, of her quiet draAving-rooms, with her dimpled hands clasped behind her Avaist.

“I never cared for any one noAV, as I cared for,—for G ilbert; and I dare say I shali’ iccep a cat and groAV fond of green tea,, and scandal and the sewing circles ! A h , well-a-day ! this kind o f life can not last forever !”

She rang the bell with a Arery impa­tient jerk.

“Are there any letters, Sanderson?” “ One ma’am ; it came by the even­

ing post, only a feAv moments since.” Blanche sat doAvn by the fire, and

opened it, and commenced to read: “Black-edged—and black-sealed I

So poor Mrs. Marckmont is ‘gone at last.” ■ .

It was from the executors of Miss Penroy’s distant cousin, formally and briefly announcing her death Avkiek had taken place in one of the West India Islands, some months since; hut of which the melancholy neAvs, as the letter ran, had only been just receiv­ed. I t was, not entirely unexpected, as Mrs. Marckmont had for some years been slowly failing out of the world, a victim of hereditary con­sumption.

“Leaving one child, a son,” sloAvIy repeated Blanche, leaning her cheek on her hand, and looking down into the fiery quiver of the white hot coals.

“Poor little fellow! he must feel nearly'as desolate and alone as I do ! Only I have one advantage;

“I have a sufficiency of this world’s j goods, and this orphaned child m u st1 be thrown penniless and alone on his own resources, for- i f I remember aright, Mrs. Marchmont forfeited - all the Avealth of her first marriage by her second alliance Avith that p o v erty -; stricken lawyer, Avkose death plunged her into such hitter mourning. That Avas a genuine love-match, y et Iioav much." grief and trouble it brought with it, leaving one child, a son ! W hy should I not adopt tlie stray Ayaif, and make it the business of my life to cherish and comfort h im ! I have no object in existence; here is one that. Providence seems to have pointed out to m e.”. Once more she rang the hell,. with

a fresh color glowing in her cheeks,! and a ncAAr light in her eyes.

“Bring in my Avriting desk immedi­ately, Sanderson, and get ready to take a letter to the post office.”

The old servant obeyed, wondering at his mistress’ unwonted energy, and yet, w ell pleased to see some o f her old animation returning.

It Avas a very simple' and uncon­scious letter that Blanche Penroy Ayrote to her £far-aAvay’ cousin’s exec­utors from the fullness of her heart.■ “I shall never marry noAV,” she Avrote, “and it seems to become my plainly indicated duty to undertake the cai-e of this orphan child of my. ■cousiAs, Mrs; Marchmont. With your approval, therefore, I intend to adopt him, and endeavor, as far as im my power, to supply the place of his lost mother. You may at first deem, me too young to undertake so grave and .serious a responsibility ; but I was nineteen last months and am very,; very much older in thought and .feel­ing than my years. Of course,;1 at my death, the child will inherit the property which was left me *hy iny dear, deceased parents.” -

“I. hope my cousin’s executors are like the nice, white-headed old lawyers one reads about in novels,” . said Blanche to herself, as she1 folded the little perfumed sheet of pink • paper, ‘‘and not cross old fogies, talking ;of

"expediency and appropriates, for -I-do so much want somebody; to love and

-carei for,;and-somehow Ifva :a sort of -premonitiom that this little, fellow-; will he nice and rosy and loveable. :I tbink l ’ll teach hirn to; call me Aunty.” i . Ju'st,a.Aveek . subsequently a prim;

said Blanche, Avith a neAV brightness dancing in her hazel eyes. “ Oh, how glad I shall be ! Sandei'son, tell,M rs. BroAVn to have the blue room fitted up immediately for Master Marchmon and you had better go yourself to the

; depot Avith the carriage, at five o’clock to-morroAV afternoon, to meet him.”

“Ye3, ma’am,” replied Sanderson, someAvhat stolidly. The apparition of a great nnrnly boy tramping with muddy boots on the velvet carpets and haunting the house w ith ball and mar­bles, did not possess the charm to Sanderson’s eyes that i t seemed to his mistress. A nd even the patient Mrs. Brown remarked, with a species o f exasperation, that—

“She didn’t see what put this freak into Miss Blanche’s head.”

Saturday Avas a day o f hail and tempest, and by five o’clock tbe draw­ing-rooms ay ere lighted, and the crim­son silk curtains closely drawn, to ex­clude the stormy darkness without. S ix times AA'itkin the last fifteen min­utes had Blanche looked at her Avatch, as she stood by the fire waiting to hear the approach o f the carriage. She Avas dressed in a rich China blue silk dress, with pearl pin and ear­drops, and a little point lace at her throat, ail'd the clear rosy tint on her cheeks. She Avas, unconsciously very beautiful.

“Here’s the little gentleman, Miss,” said Sanderson, with a half suppress­ed sound between a laugh and a snort.

But instead' of a child seven or eight years old, a tall, handsome young gentleman, something over six feet, Avith a black moustache and merry ha­zel eyes brimming over with mirth. Eor an instant Blanche stared at him as if she could hardly credit the. evi­dence of her 0AATn senses.

“Gilbert!”“Exactly., You,wanted to adopt

me, and.here I am.”“No, but, Gilbert------”“Yes, but, Blanche!”“You are not Mrs. Marchmont’s

son!” j ■“I am—by her first marriage. A1-.

though I am by no means the penni­less infant you seemed to suppose, as. all my father’s wealth comes to me, I am quite Avilling to be adopted—par­ticularly as you are not married to Mil Birmingham.”

Blanche struggled between tears and laugh ter; uncertain which could best express lier feelings, but Gilbert Evering dreAV her tenderly toAvard.' him.

“I f you adopt- me, dearest, it must he for life. Nay, do not hesitate— our happiness has already been too much at the|’mercy of trifles. You Avill not retract your offer?”

“Well, after all,” said Blanche, rather demurely,*“you be a good little boy, and mind all your' aunty tells you. All I wanted was some one to love and care for, and-^-

“And I shall do very well in that capacity, eh ?” "

“Yes.”Sanderson, Avho had. been listening

diligently at the door, crept down stairs to inform Mrs. Brown they were going to have a new master.

- «Ci»Small Means to an End.

Tha possibility of a great change being brought about by very slight beginning ; may be illustrated by the tale.which Lock’ man tells of a Yizier who, having offended his master, was condemned to perpetual imprisonment in a lofty tower. . A t night his Avife came to weep below his window. ‘‘Cease your grief,” said the sage ; “go home for the present, and return hither when you have procured a live black beetle, together With a -ghee- (or buffalo’s butter), three clews—one of the finest' .silk, another of. the finest pack thread and : another of whip cord, finally a stout coil of rope;” When she again came to the foot of the tower, provided according to her husband’s commands, he directed her to touch the bead of-the beetle with a little of the jyhee, to tie one end of the; silk aro.uiid him, -and to place the beetle on the Avail of ;the tower. Attracted by the smell, of tlie butter, which he conceived to be in store ;somewliere above him, the: beetle con­tinued to ascend till he reached the top,

.and thus put the Vizier in possession of the silk thread, who drew up the pack thread by means of the silk, the small cord by means of the pack thread, and by means of the cord a stout rope capable oh sustaining his whole weight :: and so at last, escaped from the place of bis dures’s.

Bad Manuscript.There hav.C been many jokes perpetra­

ted about the fearful cliirogrophy of £L G. and.the late Tlufus Choate, but a worse penman than either is to be found in 0. M. D. Bloss, tlie editor of the Cincinnati Mi- quiver. A letter writer says: “There are 'only four men diving, or who ever did live, "who can read his manuscript,— Allenson, - Eyan, Allen and Young, compositors in: the- JSnquiver office. No other man can tell what a single letter of it is. H e wrote; the life of Hon. George H. Pendleton in

'34 hours. We have one page of the man­uscript, and Ave Avill venture a- hat that 'there is no man that can decipher a word of i.t in 34 years, except the writer and four compositors already named. MrBloss himself is.sometimes at a loss to know .what ho has written, and. Ave have known himj in some instances, to .go to Amos Allinson'to have a “cold” article, which had ‘lain unfinished, deciphered. One of Mr Bloss’ peculiarities is to write always "with a pen", pn the 'most singular bit of paper imaginable, in fact, stray; corners that are torn off Business letters sent to the Enquirer office. His pen holder is about ten inches in length, which he grasps carefully by the- upper end, and while he 'writes sings Old Hundred, to-the most "ungodly tunes that, any man ever-heard, 'and refuses • to recognize any man that 'comes'into-his-office, while at work.’’ •

E j t O J T I X O AAVA3r.Where are those buds and flowers

I cherished in my youth ?Where are those happy homes

Of purity and truth;Those joyous hours of sunlight

That gilded every day ?A las! on Time’s dark river

Tliej. sadly float away.

And then those words of gladness That thrill’d my very heart;

That ever banished sadness,Yet bade the tear-drop start ?

The merry, ringing laughter So innocent and gay ?

A las! on Time’s dark river They sadly, float away.

And every form and feature— Bright eyes and sunny hair;

The tiny, little creature,So loving aud so fair—

And those more staid and olden, Where are all these, I pray?

Alas ! on Time’s dark river They sadly float away.

Stalactites and Stalagmites.You have oiten heard stalactities spo­

ken of in connection with caves, and per­haps a short description of their formation would not prove uninteresting. If you have some marble dust (which is in reality lime), and pour upon it some sulphuric acid, you will have as a result carbonic acid gas. On noticing a soda fountain, you Avfil see the'same bubbling from i t foaming over the glass as it is being filled. Now, let it stand for a few minutes, and all these bub­bles will disappear, and the water is still. The frisky nature of tho soda is due to tlie pressure of this gas, and, as the latter pre­fers the air better than anything else, it soon escapes. Eroni a crevice in the roof issues forth a drop of water, holding lime in solution, and also some in this carbonic acid gas. Tlie gas quickly escapes, leav­ing .a thin layer of lime around the orifice. But before all the gas has escaped a por­tion of the drop has fallen to the floor where the same process is carried on. Drop by drop, layer hy layer, year in, year out, the ntijeless Avork gces on. Soon you have what is in appearance similar to an icicle hanging from the roof, Avith one pro­jecting from tlie floor beneath. The up­per one ‘is called a stalactite ; the lower one a stalagmite. In Some parts of the Mam­moth Gave of Kentucky the growth has been Carried on so far as to produce a un­ion of the two, and then they form one solid column. The largest one in the cave is the ‘elephant’s trunk,’ which is about fifteen feet in circumference. Another not quite as large, hears the cozy title of the 'old arm-chair.’

What the Fcaturesjndicate.W e are told that the extremes of both

largeness and smallness of statue are not favorable to the strength of intellect. Gi­ants and dwarfs are generally deficient in this, respect, and excessive corpulency or meagreness is Seldom associated with mental activity. Aristotle and Bonaparte, however, were very short, Charles James Eox was exceedingly lafc, Daniel Webster both broad and tall, and Lord Melsou a living skeleton'.

A large head-is generally the accompa­niment of a great intellect ; but a small one with a comparatively exieifsive forehead is quite consistant with mental capacity. Raphael, Charles XXL, Frederick the Great, and Lord Brougham were illustra­tions of the latter fact.

It is said that any nose which is less than the height of the forehead is an indication of the defective intellectual power.

The eyes indicate character rather hy color than form. The dark blue are found most commonly-in persons of a gentle and refined character. . Light bine and gray in the'rude and energetic.. ' Lavater says : ‘Hazel eyes are the more usual indications of a mind masculine, vigorous aud profound^ just as genius, so called, is almost always associated " with eyes of a yellowish cast bordering on hazel.’

The higher the. brows. rise, the more their possessor is supposed to he under the iufluence of feeling, and the lower the better control by his' reason.

A very small eyebrow is an indication of-'want of force -of ckaiaeter.

A tolerably large mouth is essential to vigor and energy, and a very small mouth is indicative of weakness :aud indolence.

In a manly face, the upper lip should extend beyond and dominate the lower-

esliy lips are'*ofener found associated with voluptuous, and meagre ones with a passionate nature.

The retreating chin indicates weakness, the perpendicular strength, and the sharp, acuteness of mind.

A Fox Tail.There lived down south a famous sports­

man, who not only "made long shots in the field, but likewise, at the hoard. In a word, he- was very fond pf telling very large stories. Being aware Hist he carried this practice to a somewhat unwarrantable .length, lie- commissioned his favorite black man, Cudjoe, to give him a hint whenever he , found .him stretching the truth too much". '

One day dining in company with Sun­dry other gentlemen, he- told some prodig­ious large: stories ;■ and among the rest, of a ■fox he had killed, which had a tail twenty yards long.

Honest Qudjoe thought this was quite too extravagant; and, as he stood behind his master's chair.- lie gave him a nudge,

“Twenty, did I say ? I-’erliaps I ’m a little too fast. But ’twas all of fifteen."

Cudjoe gave him a second ntidge.“Eh ! let me see. ’Twas ten at least.4A third nudge.“’Twas every inch of five.”A fourth nudge. - •‘■'Twas three,’'anyhow:.’A fifth -nudge.The sportsman took all these hints in

good, part until he received the last .; lvheu, thinking, his story was already cut down quite enough, he turned to his servant, and- exclaimed:

“Why, hang it, Cudjoe, won’t you let my fox have-any tail ?’

Tfae Battle-Field of Gettysburg.A correspondent of the Boston Traveller

has recently visited the battle-field ox Get- .tyshurg, and writes as follows:

“On Seminary Ridge the trees and fen­ces are shattered and riddled, showing plainly how fierce was the contest where the fight began. Here we found two

bullets, one driven into the other so far that they could not be pulled apart. The supposition is that a Union and rebel sharpshooter aimed so accurately for each other, and fired at so near the same time, that the bullets met, and one being a little more dense than the other, pierced the one coming from the opposite direction. Both fell, of course, to the ground, and thus prevented tho death of both the marks­men, which must have been the result had tlie bullets merely grazed each other.

“When we spoke of this curiosity at the hotel, a whole army of relic speculators wished to purchase it. Doubtless the sum which we received for it Avas trebled -when sold to tlie memento seekers who frequent the town. These speculators do a thriving business in the relic line, and have every­thing to sell, from a 100-pound shell to the smallest Avare of the toy shop, all in some w ay connected with the battle.

“Canes cut from Culp's Hill or Little Round Top, are for sale in many shop Aviudows, and if the purchaser is a little incredulous, and inclined to doubt that the canes came from those places, they will march out with him, take any sapling he may select, and make it into a cane in a remarkable short space of time. This bu- sines has become one of great importance to Gettysburg, and it is proposed to intro­duce machinery for tlie manufacture of toys from the battle-field wood.

“The traces which have been found ofthe fight along the front of Hancock’s and Sedwick’s line—except in the blasted peach orchard— owing to tke_ growing fields of grain and the repairs which have been put upon the few farm houses. But the graves of the rebel dead are there, dotting the fields for miles around. In. one or two places the hones are sticking out, hut generally their graves are covered with clover, and had none of that barbar­ously neglected appearance they have in the South,

“A t Little Round Top the bullet scars are still visible on the rocks, while several large fiat stones, near wnich officers were killed have been engraved with names and the date of their death. The stone wall which the troops threw .up as a breast­work is still entire, a n d the trees have not yet outgrown their wounds."

EspciiBicats with RainWatcr.Tl.e Lowell (Ma^s.)’ Courier says that

on'the 4th o f June, 1S2S, Mr. James V . Atkinson, of that citj, caught some rain water from the roof of his house, put it in pans and let it settle for 24 hours, and then corked it up in two gallon demijohns. The water was occasionally tested, and in TS32, when President Jackson paid a visit to Lowell, Mr. Atkinson carried some of the water to the Merimac house, and Gen. Jackson, Secretaries Yan Buren and Woodbury, and other dignitaries then present, tasted of the water, winch they pronounced equal to any spring water for purity and sweetness. In 1S50 Mr. A t­kinson carried off some of the same water to Montreal and Quebec. The Mayor of the last-named city, and prominent men of both places, tasted the water, and found it perfectly sweet and palatable. - The follow­ing year (1S29) Mr. Atkinson, about the same time in June caught water in the same manner in two hogsheads. One of them, an oil hogshead, Avas not disturbed, during the summer, hut was covered up with rough hoards. A fllrn- of oil’ipse to the top of the Avater; and in September, on opening the hogshead, .the water be­neath the oil w:u found perfectly pure and sweet. The point made is, that rain wa­ter caught at this time of year, "say before the second week in June, A villjkeep a long time perfectly pure and : s'wffetT E±)mn.- ments performed since 'show ,tha£ ‘water caught later will invariably- gtow impure and tainted.

BachaDau’s Tomb.From tlio Lancaster Examiner.

Major Charles M. Howell has completed the tomb ordered to be placed over the remains of ex-President Buchanan. The tomb was designed by Major Howell, and in accordance with the wishes of Mt. Bu­chanan, as expressed a short time previous to liis death, it has been made in a- .plain but beautiful and substantial manner. It is a plain tomb, ornamented with a wreath of oak leaves and acorns around the ovolo of the cap; it consists of a single block of Italian marble from the quarries of Carra­ra. Its length is six feet three inches, its width three feet, its height three feet six inches. On one side of the tomb is carv­ed the name Buchanan, on the other side is the following inscription, which. Was written by Mr. Buchanan prior to. Ms death, with directions that it be inscribe^ on his tomb, the date of.death, of course, being left blank by him;

‘ Here rest the remains ofJ.vmes Blcuaxxx,

Fifteenth President of the United States. Born in Franklin County, Penn., April 2S, 1591.

Died at Wheatland, June 1 , 1S68.’The base of the tomb is already: in posi­

tion at "Woodward H ill Cemetery. I t is constructed of the finest N ew Hampshire granite, is-seven feet one inch in length, aud three feet seven inches wide. ■ TKe whole height of the" tomb and base, when placed in the cemetery, will be ?five feet, independent of the ground .elevation. This unpretentious monument was framed in accordance with the explicit instructions contained in the will of Mr. Buchanan.

THE INCOME TAX.ConPuleraMt' discussion, is licing had

through the press, relative to the con- tinuatiou of the Income Tax. Tins tax expires with the present year, by limitation, and unless re-enacted by Congress, at its next session, it will qease to exist. 6ome o f the papers take ground against its re-enactment, in any form, while others consider that, i f the necessities of the Govern- ment require it, the law, in an amend­ed form, should be re-enacted.

The revenue derived from the In­come Tax amounts to about forty mill­ions per year. This is quite an item, and will aid much in the redaction of the public debt. But while this is the caset revenue Irom other sources, will continue to increase; and if the public debt can be reduced as fast as lias been the case since Grant’s adminis­tration began, and this reduction be brought about by tlie increase of rev­enue in other directions, without any further additional taxation, wc see no good reason why the Income Tax should, not cease entn elv. If, howev- ei, this is found to be impiacticable, then let the law be continued in forcej hut with such amendments ns experi­ence and justice seem to demand.

One amendment we flunk should be made especially m llie amount of ex­emption, which should be increased from §1,000, to at least §l,o00, oi §2,000. It is n ell Lnou n that those who pay an income tax, on an amount over §1,000, that m ihe cases out of six they have to pay a tax on money expended for neeessaiy living expen­ses. iSTow the exemption ought to be so increased that this would not be the ease.

I f the law is retained, and no in­crease in the §1,000 exemption is made, let it he so amended that the absolutely necessaiy expends of living m aybe deducted fiom the amount of income. Thus, one family of ten will require more to live upon than one ot five Let provisions in the law be made, then, for deduction, from the income, the whole amount of living expenses, for every family, and upon the remainder let a tax he levied, after the §1,000 exemption is made. This plan would woik fan Iv and justly to all concerned. To the lieh and the poor, with a special benefit to all, whose net income, after paying all ex­penses of Hvins:, does not reach §1,- 000; and while this special benefit would he conien ed upon this class, those whose living expenses were, one, two, or even tlnee thousand dollais per year, would be exempt from taxa­tion thereon. Thus, no man m the nation would be required to pay tax, only on what was 1 eally profits aris­ing from his profession, or business, or money, oi bonds bearing interest.

"We trust Congress, when it meets, will give this matter it3 careful atten­tion, and that the law, if retained, Will he so arranged as to work justly and fairly to all interested.

„ THE PUBLIC DEBT.During the month of July the pub­

lic debt has been reduced §7,485,744.- 29, This makes an entire reduction of the national debt, since March 1st, a period of five months, §48,896,528.- 72. A t this rate the reduction will amount to over §105,000,000 per year. Allowing the decrease of the public debt yearly, to be as much greater as there is less interest to pay, and in less than sixteen years the en­tire debt would be paid. When wc consider the probable income of reve­nue resulting from the growing wealth, prosperity and greatness of our coun­try, it is wholly probable, i f the pres­ent system of revenue is retained in force, that within, the next ten years the §2,4S1,566,786.29, may be entire­ly canceled.‘ We have not the least doubt, with an honest and faithful collection of ’the revenue, and its honest application ’to the reduction of the national in- .debtedness, but that within ten or twelve years the United States may be almost, if not quite, free of debt. This calculation is upon the supposi­tion that the present system of reve­nue be continued in force.

Is it, however, desirable that the present high rate of taxation should be maintained, for the sake of extin­guishing the national debt in ten or twelve years ? We certainly think not. It looks to us that any system of revenue or taxation that will result in the extinguishment of the public debt, within thirty years, will be suffi­ciently burdensome. It does not oc­cur to ns, that justice and right de-

‘mand that those who fought, and the generation that saved the nation, by the sacrifice of their sons, fathers, husbands and brothers, should, also, be called upon to pay the entire in­debtedness therefor.

The rising generation, who will en­joy tho richest fruits of the great sac­rifice of life and treasure, ought, in justice, hear some portion of the

' burden. We arc, therefore, most em­phatically in favor of such an adjust­ment of taxation and revenue as shall extend the payment of the public debt over the next thirty or forty years ; and any system that contemplates its reduction in less time is unjust to the present generation.

NEW GREENBACKS.A late telegram from Washington,

states that Secretary Boutwell designs to "make an entire change in the design of all the greenbacks, from the §1.00

.to the §1,000 notes. " This is brought about by the late dangerous counter­feits that have made their appearance. The dispatch states, <:that in conse­quence of the spurious issue of the §10 greenbacks, Secretary Boutwell has concluded to have a new issue of all denominations of greenbacks, from §1.00 to §1,000 notes. The plates are now being engraved at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The de­signs are entirely new. No likeness

■ of any living man will be placed on any note. The engraving of the new

-issue, and the printing o f the faces and seals of all the denominations will

• be performed'in the Printing1 and En­graving Bureau, while the backs will he printed in New York. There will

•' be every possible caution to prevent ^frauds, including the taking of lead ^ p ression s1 for electrotype pljtcs.”

A RIGHT BIOTE.The Washington, Navy yard is to bo

under the command of Admiral Dahl- greon. It is stated, that the first duty ho was to perform was to. discharge every man who has objected to the employment of the two colored brick­layers and two; colored apprentices em­ployed in the yard. The course pur­sued by certain spirits o f tho Brick­layers, and Carpenters* trade unions of Washington, meets the disapprobation of all honorable laborers. The miachief-iuakiug. spirits will receive their walking-papers, and not a man from those organizations will receive any employment at the yard, hereafter, until the unions re­scind their late insolent resolutions.

It is also said that Secretary Rob­eson will order a similar action in all the Navy Yards throughout the whole country. A ll workmen are to be dis­charged who oppose giving all mechan­ics an equal chance,, irrespective of race or color, or who attempt to; dic­tate as to whom the Government shall, or shall not, employ.

This course will bo approved by the country at large. The com so j ui su­ed by these trade unions, is a shame and a disgrace. Let all lahoicis seek employment without tho fear of any oiganization. Tins is the true punei- ple ot independence, and the only one that can be sustained without violence

Let the law of supply anil demand govern labor m all sections ot the country, as the same law governs in all other departments. The ofioits of a combination of laborers to fmcc puces up above what the employer can uttbrd, in his business, nnwfc ulti­mately prove unsuccessful. The of- forts too, to prevent otlieis from labor­ing, must prove abortive. Wo arc g lad to see Government officialsacting m the matter.

THE IRISH CHURCH;The Irish church disestablishment

bill passed the English parliament, and lias now received the Queen’s sig­nature. I t is tlrcretbr c a law, and will take effect in 1870 The law-es­tablished church in Ii eland will have tunc to wind up its present system of aft.ru s It can no longer look to legal endowments. It must now prepare to live hv the voluntary system, as other churches have to do. This will doubt­less result in tho sale of many of tlie established churches, when they sec that tlreir support must come as that of other churches. Tlus is a right principle,, and, we opine, is but the forerunner of tlio disestablishment of the English church itself.

KENTUCKY ELECTION.Tbe election in Kentucky, on Mon­

day, went Democratic by from 40,000 to 45,000. Tins is a somewhat smal­ler majority than usual. There were seveial political rows, where fire-arms were used, but no lives were lost. There will be in tbe Legislature, prob­ably, not more than twenty Republi­cans. Tlie Republican element is growing, even m tho seemingly hope­lessly Democratic State of Kentucky.

j£3TA colored lawyer is actually prac­ticing in the Criminal Court at Washing­ton! W e hasten to lay the news before the Democratic politicians of Michigan. Of course, upon .- learning this; appalling fact, not a man of them will ever run the risk, or visiting the National Capital—not even to ask for an office. For; if a “nig­ger" lawyer practices in the.

A Dangerous Counterfeit and How to , Detect it.

Trom Uittlfevr Vbvk Sim, July 29.Mr. Brady, ol tlie tSfnmping Department

in the New York office, has shown ns two specimens oCthe counterfeit §10 bills winch have created so great an excitement among bankers and United States Treasurers. The bills are certainly the finest executed counterfeits ever thrown upon llm New* York market. A t first glance they seem to be a perfect imitation of tlie § 101 green- back, and tlie printing seems to have been dotio From the original plate. But Mr. Brady has discovered points invaluable to tliosu handling money. In the original the shading around the 10 in the medallion appears like a fine net-work and runs close up to the figures. In the counterfeit note this shading is “picked up," mid becomes coarse as it readies the figures,, forming a light streak or circular haste similar to that about the moon before rain. There is no haze in the geuuine note. This is a slight point for detection, A clearer one is the fact that in the original note, within the light circle running under the figures 10, there are three and a third dots on the left of the figure 1, In the counterfeit bill the one-llurd dot is. missing.

But an infafible mark of distinction is found under tlie left wing of the eagle. In the geuuine notes are four distinct rows of feathers under the wing. In tlie counter­feits these rows of feathers are undefined, and tlvis- seems to be the only weak spot lit the whole engraving.

The dots after the initials of Spinner’s name are no surety of the genuineness of the note. Some of the counterfoils; have these dots, and some have not. It would be an easy matter to place these dots on the counterfeit p’.ale.

Tlie first counterfoil; purported' to be of the new series, No. 53, letter I), but there are others, Mr. Brady had one marked. 23, letter 1), with a small figure 5 under the D. R e thinks this counterfeit has been printed from a different plate from the first issued. W e think not. Tlie only differ­ence between the two counterleit notes is that 53, has no periods alter Spinner’s in­itials, and 23 has.

It is rumored that Mr. Spinner will or­der tlie destruction of the original plates and the issue of ne w notes, but we have no positive information on this point.

One thing is certain, I f those recei ving §10 notes will submit them to the test descrihed above, they may be confident of safety.

Spanish Bloodthirstiness.Uoirispondence from China -elates a sto­

ry of Spanish bloodtnirstiiiess which, if true, is most horrible. The story is that General Quesada, of the insurgent forces, having captured a few Spanish officers and soldiers, sent a note to the nearest Spanish General, Lesca, from one of whose outly­ing detachments the insurgents had made the capture; offering; to exchange them for an equal number of captured insurgents. To- this note General Lesca replied, stating that he refused, the proposition because, “ns Spain relies upon the loyalty ot seven­teen millions of people, the loss or salva­tion of ten or twelve persons is ot but lit­tle consequence; especially as they would die tor their country,’’ and because “he holds no insurgents as prisoners, for, as soon ns any were captured, I ordered them immediately shot, and I shall continue to pursue this same course." Upon receiving this atrocious reply, it is related that Gen. Quesada ordered the Spanish prisoners brought before him, when lie { formed that they had been condemned to death by a warrant drawn and signed by their own General, Lesca. He then had his adjutant read Resca’s heartless letter to them. The helpless prisoners, in despair, cursed Lesca bitterly ; whereupon Quesada told them that he had not the heart to imitate the Spanish butcher, but would set them at liberty on parole, and furnish them with safe passports to Havana, where they could report the difference between a Span­ish tiger and a, patriot gentleman. It is said that the prisoners, overcome by this generosity, responded to it by vivas for Quesada and free Cuba, and all but two instantly joined the patriot army. The other two asked only for lime to go to Havana and secure their families and prop­erty, when they,, too, pledged themselves to return and join the patriot forces.

This story is. a very dramatic one. It may be true, and it may be false. Part of it is true, doubtless^—that Lesca shoots all prisoners that fall into his hands. But that the insurgent General is much less vindictive is a statement to be taken with some grains of allowance!

The E clipse. — Our readers, of course, will hot forget the great eclipse on Saturday next, Aug. 7th. The public display will commence in this vicinity at about 4:194 p. m. and close at 6:16 p. M. A good plan to observe the eclipse is to prepare a glass for the purpose by smoldng with pine or rosin. Another plan is stated by the New York Tost as follows:

“Take a large card with a small round hole in the centre, and hold it against the sun’s rays, so that the shadow will fall on the floor, pavement, wall, or other dark and smooth sur­face* In the middle of the shadow there will be a true image of the sun, and tbs* eolipSR-Can be studied in its progress without.strain nig--cuC -syeg-. and without smutting the face or hands with smoked glass. The simple process was suggested by the familiar circumstance, that the light spots in the shadows, during a solar eclipse, take the shape of the luminous por­tions of the sun’s disc; and the per­forated card has been used with per­fect success."

ing of “Railroad” of Berrien Springs, in the R e c o r d of this week, on the Railroad donation question, is good, is able, is pow erful, it takes, it convinces, especially the barn argument. W e see it. This town­ship is wide-awake about the "donation we shall all attend it, and be quite sure to vote on it. The sum will not be much— only §40,000, and the interest, I am. told, will only be a little over §32.000. What, of that,?' Only §72,000. Just think of a Railroad bed, with a T rail on it, made over in the township of Berrien! and we. relieved Irom ownershio in it, or control over it I Capitall And then, the Rail­road Company will he sure to complete the road : they will be sure to run it, and it is sure it will pay u s ; but I am puzzled to know how such donations can pay them. Corporations are honest, they are magnan­imous; they have souls. We shall all at­tend the donation.

. E ditor R ecord :— Our citizens are still talking Railroad, and Supervisor Tedder has called a special election, to be held on the 12th of the present month, to deter mine whether this township will give forty thousand dollars, and not §4,000, as stated by “Railroad," probably through mistake. W e think it is the duty, and for the best interest of every man in Berrien to vote the aid. Now is the time to get theR .R ., if ever. There are many good reasons for voting this aid. The road is going to be built, but will probably run three or four miles east of this, place, unless the people of Oronoko Township take hold of the matter, and on the 12th inst. vote aid for the Railroad, •

Farmers have their wheat harvested, and oome threshing has been done. There is said to be a good yield. Considerable of the wheat in the shocks has grown, on account'of the late rains.. '

Huckleberries are not very plenty in the market, on account of there being a great deal of water in the marsh. They are retailing from 10 to 12 cts. per quart.

On Saturday, July 24th, James Watson was elected Justice of the Peace in place of N . E. Landon, (npt Sandon.)

The schools of this village commence on the last Monday of this mouth, or the first ofmext. • Mr. J. N! Foster takes charge of tire High School, where lie has taught the two last terms. Mr, Wansbro and Mis3 McKnab are to take .charge of the Primary departments. Mr. Wansbro is said to be a most excellent teacher, and a fine scholar; and is well qualified to take charge of the school,' as is also Mias Mc­Knab.

W e will close, by saying to the citizens of Oronoko township, do net fail to be at the special election to be held in the vil­lage, of Berrien on the 12th inst., and vote Aid to the Railroad, “Y es."

.More than the usual* ''quantity of wheat is bar vested in our neighborhood, and 'the

crop is good* especially where the ground was well prepared, and the seed sown ear­ly, proving; that the opinion some have entertained, that this grain cannot be raised here, is untrue. ■'

I am informed that“good and sufficient” warranty deeds of real estate hiay noiv be obtained for property in this village and vicinity, which has been .somewhat, involv­ed, and on. this account some have been deterred From purchasing land and village lots here. It is hoped this will no longer he a hindrance to the prosperity of Our ru­ral town, especially as we are soon to have a railroad and depot. Several of our citi­zens have recently received deeds of "land.

It is gratifying to learn of the prosperi­ty of other tbwns,. and especially of the “bright prospect iu the future of our little village” of Three * Oaks, Permit -me to suggest to friend “Jo,” that wheu our Ed­itor succeeds in accomplishing the removal of the National Capital, he ought to get it established at his ‘‘little village.”

Aug. 3, 1S69.Enrroit Rkcoed :—The Railroad excitement

having passed, the good people of 'Wccsaw thought that peace would once more reign on this once happy community: but ’twas design­ed to bo Otherwise. The Township Treasurer, 31r. Snjnuel Smith, having failed to live up to the full requirements of the law, as- laid down in our Statutes, and there being a difference of opinion in regard to the Railroad question, be­tween Smith and the Supervisor, ill-. Alonzo Sherwood, lie (Sherwood) concluded ho would have a little fun, or revenge; that then was the time for it, and he would strike while the iron was liot. .And accordingly a meeting of the liuui u VQS called, and a new Treasurer ap­pointed, Gabriel PciWslj was the lucky man, and proceeded forthwith, quafiuc:'!., give bonds, &c.; and as soon as lie gets the papers, book?., &e., be will.be ready to blow liis trumpet. But Smith thinks that will bo some time yet, if not longer.

Last spring, one Charles Day, while stopping at the tavern in this place, entrusted the iand‘- Iord witli the keeping of a revolver worth about §15. The revolver was stolen, and the land­lord had it to pay for. Suspicion rested on a young man by the name of Lemuel lYashburne, a young fellow who was in the employ of the landlord at tho tim e; but on being accused of taking it, lie left. A few days ago be tried to trade the revolver to a young follow in Bu­chanan. The fellow informed the ‘landlord of it. He Was therefore arrested, and after fright­ening him, gave up tlie stolen property, and gave bail for the costs.

The farmers here have their wheat very nearly all secured in their barns, or in stacks.

I believe that is all the news I have at pres­ent, with the exception of Hrs. Grundy’s talk about somebody writing to somebody else’s wife, but I will let them write, if they choose.

July 3, 1SG9.Me . E ditor :—Business in our place is

improving. The farmers are again begin­ning to show their smiling faces once more, after having a good hai vest of wheat. Mr. Richard Breece has commenced work on a residence building for himself. A new meat market opened for business this morn ing. Railroad matters are quiet. I occa­sionally see some of the good people of New Buffalo in our place.' I hope they may come oftetier. I only wish that the two rival R. B. towns may grow to good sized cities. The funeral services ot Mr.

weie held at the new Baptist church on last Sabbath. An able funeral dis­course was preached by Eld. YanWyck, of New Buffalo, The church was filled to overflowing. I have often been at funer­als, when th •. thought presented itself to my mind, are not the Americans showing a dereliction’of duty, in not attending fu­nerals more freely, especially, in following the remains of departed lriends and neigh­bors to their last resting place, the grave. Perhaps it may he said, or thought, that iii a few years an American could not re­ceive a decent burial, from the aid of his own countrymen. They may learn a les­son from the beer drinking German, wild seldom ever fails to turn out his team, to help make up a large funeral procession. There are people in this town, who seldom, fail to have their carriages and wagons in the processions.

On last Sabbath afternoon, the Baptist Sabbath School held a concert at the new Church, A part of the Ohikaming Sab­bath School took part in the concert. It was well attended. The children did ex­ceedingly well, showing that they were properly taught, by good teachers. Mrs. Drew's class, from Ohikaming, done, well, especially Miss Emma Burnett, and Miss Gibson. Each and all had their pieces quite perfect, and delivered them well.

Mr. Ed. let me say a word or two in relation to the removal of the U . S. Capi­tal. I believe it for the best interests of the whole people of these States, that the Capital should' be at or near the geograph­ical center of the United States. It will bind together m'ore firmly the ties of our nationality. St. Louis being the most central qity, and the most easy of access from all points of inland commerce, being located on tbe Great Mississippi River, but 20 miles below the mouth of the Missouri river, and not far from the mouth of the Ohio, it will be convenient for the South­ern people, and for the whole people. It will do more to advance the interests and build up our whole country, and especially the West, thail any other one thing that can be done at this time. I i will- bring with its removal capital, and capitalists from the Eastern States. It will bring emigration from the Eastern States. The City of Washington, named after the fa­ther of our country, can still retain its name.

There, on the quiet banks of the Poto­mac, in. the woods of Virginia, Washing­ton was cared for by a kind and widowed mother; and where, now, his ashes repOse in peace, let them rest in peace. Better so, than to hear marshaled armies tramp­ing around and over the sacred ground. Although our Capital may never be be­sieged by a foreign foe, yet it would be much safer more centrally located, which then would be the last point to defend. And, again, the New England and Middle States have all the advantages of the lob­by; and I think it no more than right that the Western farmer and mechanic have an opportunity to visit and lobby around the Capital, if brought to the ge ographical center.

And now that we have the Pacific R. R., and two ocean telegraph cables, news from the old country can be as readily, ob­tained :ac St. Louis, as at Washington. The people-of the western part- of-’our country feel for the last few years, that our Capital is ,partly .under ithej.j control of lobbyists and^eapitalists, and that ' the(for­mer are-riot under "its control or influence, (if it’lias’-any!)"' " ' *

Let theCommerce.^? iiTliei-people!; 'ofUtfiis county keep, the county1 seat at or near the "center of. the county, because it.-is; more conven­ient for the people of Alie county^ And 1 imagine that alter our own State comes

it.lias any:; - i : ijet the people" of the W est s, say, I-pl’ace CapitalSat 'she, center jo f u Trade, 5 and

partially to maturity,, that the capital .tyill be more centrally located. When the people of the United States learn to legis­late So as tb do their own manufacturing, and to keep the balance of trade iu their fayOr, and, make -their.internal commerce

■ ten "times as great and important as our foreign commerce. W e should study po­litical economy ; and, as a writer said, If wealth comes from abroad, where does it come from abroad.

Where is rill the gold, that has been ta­ken from our mines since 1849? The most of it went to England, who has kept the balance of trade iii -her favor. W ith her millions of spindles, she has partially subsidized our finance and nation. Some say labor commands too high prices to do our manufacturing. Would it not be better with more laborers, with less wages, and plenty of hard money at hand,, to pay with.

W e have direct trade with China, yet onr Government taxi-s ihe Chinaman §5 head tax when he lands in this country. Here we have immense stores of mineral wealth-—coal, iron, copper, silver, arid gold. Abundance of cotton, wool, flax, silk and hemp—-plenty of water and steam power. Lakes, rivers, canals, railroads. Then can we not legislate to put these in operation—improve tbe powers so as to manufacture our catton and wool, that are grown here, and ship fabrics, instead of the raw material. -

What does the farmer west of tho Mis­sissippi river make on his grain that goes to Liverpool? Simply nothing. It takes all to transport it there. Can we not leg­islate to bring the poor operative ana arti­san of England, here,'by the side of the farmer ; and when all tills is set moving, in the right direction, with our National Capital at the center of.internal commerce, trade and business, then will our country grow and flourish as no country lias done before ; even our own.

Truly yours, Jo. B aker.*

SostE Y ears since a poor but talented gen­tleman of the medical profession conceived the idea, that if lie could produce a medicine Of universal application and extraordinary merit, and make it known, lie could not only enrich himself and escape the drudgery of a Physi­cians life, but also benefit the sick in a great measure than by his private- practice. He, therefore, consulted with the best physicians he could find, and- the result was the produc­tion of the Judson’s Mountain Herb Pills, a famous and most ‘successful medicine. He began-in a small way to make the Mountain Herb Pills known by. advertising them and sricii was the value of -these Pills, that in a few years he had not only enmassed a fortune, bnt had that rare satisfaction, for a rich man, of having relieved the sick, and benefited his fel­low men in every part of the country, as thou­sands of grateful testimonials could prove. The Judson’s Mountain Herb Pills have cured Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Female Irregulari­ties, and all BilliouS Disorders. This little sketch serves both to adorn a tale and point a moral.

j Upon the wliite sesasamlI There sat a pilgrim handj! Telling the the losses that their lives had known, ">j 'While evening waned away!j From breezy cliff and bay,.j And tho strong tides went out with weary moan.

One spake, with quivering lip,O f a la ir fr e ig h te d sh ip ,

Witla all his household to the deep gone down; ' But wo had wilder woe

For a fair face long ago,Lost in the darker depths of a great town.

There were who mourned their youth With a most loving truth

For its brave hopes and memories ever gieen; And one. upon the West Turned eye that would not rest

For far-off hills "whereon its joys had been.•

Seme talked of vanished gold,Some of proud honors told,

Some spake of friends that were their trust no more;

But one of a green grave Beside a foreign wave

That made him sit so lonely on the shore.

But when their tales wero done,There spake among them, one,

: A stranger, seeming from all sorrow free:: "Sad losses have ye met,

;i But mine is heavier yet,For a believing heart hath gone from me.”

, “Alas 1” these pilgrims said,‘ "For the living and the dead,. For fortune's cruelty—for love’s sure cross,: For the wreck of land and sea 1

But, howe’er it came to thee,: Thine, stranger, is life's last and heaviest loss,”

IuSlnite.The fireside is a seminary of infinite

importance because it is universal and because the education it bestows being woven in with the woof of childhood, gives form and color to the whole tex­ture of life. There are few who can receive the honors of a college, but all are graduates of the hearth. The learning of the university may fade from the recollections, its classic lore may moulder in the halls of memory, blit the simple lessons of home, enam­eled upon the heart of childhood, defy the rust of years, and outlive the more mature but less vivid picture of after years. So deep, so lasting, in­deed, are the impressions of early life, that you often see a man in tho imbe­cility of age holding: fresh in his rec­ollection the events of childhood, while all the wide space between tbat and the present hour is a blasted and for-

' gotten waste. Ton have, perchance,' seen an old and obliterated portrait,

and in tbe attempt to have it cleaned , a"hd restored yon may have seen it •fade away, while a brighter and more perfect picture; painted beneath, is re-

: vealed to the view. This portrait, 'first drawn upon the canvass, is no faint illustration of youth; and tho’

•/ji^jiay be concealed by some after de- j sign, still the original traits will shine

through the outward picture, giving it its: tone while fresh, and surviving it in 'decay. Such is the fireside— the great institution of Providence for the education of man.—-Goodrich.

VLast Words.

A ll the schools of philosophy that I have been ever founded have failed to .1 inspire men at the close of life with 1 sentiments half so beautiful, so thrill-

ing to the eyes o f bystanders, so pre- f cions to the memories of mourners as 4 those which the Christian religion hasi put into the lips of her expiring chil- | drefli- They are as flowers that blos- ;( som^Vom the bier;, and diffuse an im-ii mortal fragrance. They are golden /f texts,; which cheer us anti fade not• away while the night of bereavement f close? around our path. They may d be regarded in some sort as pledges of

f u( the reality of that of which they ex- *<-/ press the anticipation; for how could;

f mere.deceits of the imagination cn- , | gender hopes so bright, and feelings

so deep, anti dictate sentences so j| touching, pure, and sublime?- fl Louis Nome Journal.

New Harvester IJUST TUB THING BOIt

o l zr* j o o l e n r

Patented June 3, 1868.

Among tbe many advantages and improve­ments of this Machine, we note:

1 s t , S i m p l i c i t y O f G e a r . I t is the first and only single geared two wheel machine. The gearing ol the new Mower and Reaper consists simply of two bevel wheels, located ou the axeltreo under the center of the Machino, (so boxed that they are at all times free from grit, dust and dirt.) ,

2<1. I t i s t l i e o n l y t w o W h e e le d M C aeliin eon which the sickle bars art* located in line of the trend ol the wheels, tho machinery thereby adjusts itse lf to all varieties of uneven ground. Also another advantage is, that raising or lowering the tongue does not affect the cut. „

3 d , T l i e n s c o f t w o S i c k l e B a r s in one seof guards, cutting .from.both sides, and not jamming the grain off against the guards, as in common machines This gives a clear saving in power to tho new Harvester of 3 0 per cent.

d t h , B y t t s in g : t w o S i c k l e B a r s two cuts are obtained to every turn o f tbe line shaft. Thus, while all other Reapers gear twenty-seven turns to every turn o f the master-wheel, the inventor of this obtains the same number o f cuts by gearing only tliirteen turns, thus showing mathematically a clear saving in draft of 5 0 percent.

5 t i l , D r i v i n g a t a i i y g a i t , fast or slow; it is impossible to clog this Mariiine in wet grain or grass

This Machine will, without doubt, supercede all others now in use.

The cut of this Machine was proved all that is claimed for it through

haying in Illinois last year.

; We have one of the best of

good story is told in Paris of a son of M. Bixio.’ This eminent man was for a short time incarcerated in the fortress of Vincennes, after the coup d’etat. Ilis wife, accompanied by one of her sons, went to see him. They dined together in his chamber. The son was extremely sad and taciturn during tlie dinner, and at last attract­ed his father’s attention. “Why, my d,gar hoy what is tlie matter with you?’* replied the lad ofeleven. “Nonsense ; I see something is the matter with you. Gome tell me what it is.” The hoy blubbered: “Why, pa, I am so disappointed. I made sure of seeing you in a dungeon, chained to the wall, and you ain’t.

jggf-A young enthusiast was talk­ing to his intended a few evenings since, urging upon her speedy marri­age, and a start to spend the honey­moon in California, I “tell you,” said he, his face glowing lvith enthu­siasm, “California is the paradise of this earth. There’s no use of talking!’ “No use talking!” exclaimed the lady, ivith a look of some surprise. ‘No use talking !v lie repeated. ‘Well, if ther’s no use talking,” said the lady “what in the name of senses do you want of women there V I don’t go!”

18®=Will Hamilton, the half-wit of Ayr, was hanging about the vicinity of a loch, which was partially frozen. Three young ladies were deliberating as to whether they should venture up­on the lakes surface, and one of them suggested that Will should be asked to go on it first. “Though I'm daft, I ’m no ill bred,” quickly responded _ Will ; “after you, leddies.”

Yi®=Now that false hair is being so generally worn, why wouldn’t it be the thing to select a “switch,” a set of curls, a braid or a -'chignon, for a gift to a lady ? A lady remarked the other day, that she had much rather receive a handsome braid than a set of furs; “for” she added, “I can wear the braid all the year, while the furs can only he worn during cold weather.’

g@p"A young man,' who, on being askedby a judge whether he had a father and mother, said, he wasn’t quite certain whether he had or not; first, his father died, and then his mother married again, and then his mother died, and his father married again; and now he didn’t exactly know whether they were h is . father and mother or not.

is related of a certain cler­gyman, who was noted for his long sermons, with many divisions^ that one day when he was advancing among his teens, he reached a kind of resting place in his discourse, when pausing to take breath, and asking the ques­tion, “And what shall I say more ?” a voice from the 'congregation earnest­ly responded, “Say amen!”

B ad C u sto m er .— “We don’t sell spirits,” said alaw-evaclingbeer-seller; “we null give you a glass; and then, if you want a biscuit, we’ll sell it to you for three ha'pence.” The “good -creature” was handed down, a stiff glass swallowed, and the landlord han­ded his customer a biscuit. “ Well, no, I think not,” said the customer, “you sell ’em too dear. I can get lots of ’em five or six for a penny any­where else.”

Jg@r‘A minister annoyed his- con­gregation, hy constantly referring to the Apostle Haul, and asking, the ques­tion, “Where, then, shall we. put him ?’

. At last an elderly gentleman arose, and said, “As(I am going liQmc, you may put him ill hiy pew."”

1® = A story is told of two York­shire tikes who traveled together three days in a stage coach without a" word

t ever passing between, them. On the fourth day one of them at length ven­tured the remark that it was a fine morning. “And who said it wasn’t?” was the reply.

13®= “Friend Mallaby, I ampleased That thee has got such a fine organ in thy. church.*” “But,” said the clergyman," “I thought you ivere strqngly opposed to having, an organ in church?” “So I am,” said .Friend Obadiah, “but then if thee will worship
