Philosophy of the Times.
Let those who will, repine at fate,
And droop their heads with sorrow;
I laugh when cares upon me wait?
1 know they'll leave to-morrow,
liy parse Is light, but what of that ?
My heart is light to match,
And if I tear my only ooat,
I laugh the while 1 patch it.
I've seen some elves, who call themselves
My friends, in Summer weather,
Blow far nway in sorrow's day,
As winds would blow a foather.
I never grieved to sou them go
(Tho rascals, who would heed 'cm ?)
For what's the use of having friends,
If false when most you need 'cut?
1'vo seen somo rich in worldly gear,
Etemallv renin intr .
Their heart's a prey to every fear?
With gladness never shining,
I would not change my gladsome heart
For all their wealth and sorrow !
For that's a thing that all their wealth
Can neither beg nor borrow.
And still as sorrows come to mo,
As sorrows sometimes come?
I find the way to make them flee,
Is bidding them right welcome
They cannot brook a cheerful look ;
They're used to sobs and sighing ;
And he that meets them with a smile,
Is sure to meet tlieui^ flying.
Removal of the Dead from the
Crater near Petersburg.?The Express
of Monday says :
Sinoe Thursday last, about four bundled
bodies of Federal and Confederate dead
have been removed from the immediate
vicinity of tho "Crater," and tlint still u
large number remain. These bodies are
placed in strong boxes, and re interred in
tho Cemetery at Poplar Grove, where such
Confederates as are taken up arc buried
in a separate square. In a few days dig
ging operations will bo commenced in the
cavity of the "Crater" itself, where some
two hundred or more Federal soldiers were
killed and covered over. U is tin intention
of tho Government to have the remains
of every soldier, Federal or Confederate,
removed from the lines of this vicinity
and interred in tho Cemetery at Poplar
Grove, where such of them as arc known
will be marked.
rorriNG the Question in Pf.ru.?
Tho suitor appears on the appointed evening,
with a gaily dressed troubadour,
under the balcony ol his beloved. The
singer steps before the flower bedecked
window, and sings her beauties in the
name of her lover. He compares her size
to that of a palm tree, her lips to two
blushing rosebuds, and her womanly form
to that of ? dnvp Wiih msiimoil linvoL?
ness the ludy usks her lover,44 \\ ho are you,
and what do you want 7" He answers with
ardent confidence : "the dove I adore !
The stars live in harmony of love, and why
should not wc, too, love each other ?" Then
the proud beauty gives herself away ; she
takes her flower wreath from her hair and
throws it down to her lover, promising to
be his forever.
A few years since, soon after the revul
aion of 1836, a gentleman of city
was sitting with his youngest daughter by
his side, at the breakfast table. Having
been obliged to stretch his credit, like
others to an uncomfortable extent, he was
musing on the "upsand downs of his liie.''
Placing his hand on his daughter's shoulder,
ho says : "One of these days, my
dear, when you have grown up. married
and settled down, I will come and live with i
you, and then, 1 ant sure, everything will i
go on like clockicork." "Yes, father," she
replies, "J suppose we shall live on ticki
A roar of laughter from all sides of the
table finished the dialoguo.
Keeping Flour.?An exchange says
that Prof. Blot, who is now lecturing in ;
thq Northern cities on cookery, urges that j
flour should never be kept in barrels or
boxes, but in clo'lt bags, and this method
of keeping it is all that makes European
flour better than American.
Most of us in this section find the difficulty
in keeping flout to arise from other
oauscH. The demand of little mouths
which must be filled, and the undue affection
of servants for eatables belonging to
their employers, renders it a matter of very
little difference whether it is kept in barrels
or bags. From either receptacle it
disappears with alarming rapidity.
j>F.w TAX.?Ltean Swift once proposed '
to tax female beauty, and leave every lady
to rate her own charms. He said the tax
would be cbccrlully paid and very productive.
We hear a great deal said al out internal
Revenue Tax. If the proposition of the
witty Dean were adopted it might be classed
as an External Revenue Tax, for it is
a generally received axiom that "beauty
is only skin deep."
A Gascon onco boasted of bis country to
a Yankee thus: ,
"In my country," he said, "there are
rivers whero boats are prevented to travel
orf account oi the great quautity of fish in
them 1"
"Pshaw 1 that's nothing," put in the
Yank. ,
"In mine there aro lakes with nothing
but fish?no water." i
At best life is not long. A few more
smiles, a few more tears, some pleasure,
much pain, sunshine and song, cloud and
darkness, hasty greetings, abrupt farewells
?then our littlo play will close, and injured
and injurer will pass away. Is it
worth while to bate aaoh other ?
Adventure with a Snake.
A correspondent ot the Eitenhage Times,
writing from Winterhcek, says:
An extraordinary snuke affair oocttrred
in this neighborhood a few Sundays ago.
A large snake ot the cobra tribe, about
tour feet six inches long, got unseen into a
farmer's house, it is supposed on the Sat
urday afternoon, and concealed himself
under a harmonium. On the Sunday afternoon,
the children being ut school, the
farmer and his wife were quietly reading,
the wife sitting in frout of a window. The
snake quietly crawled out, got unpcrceived
under the good woman's crinoline, and
twisted itself round licr leg from the ankle
to the knee, which position it kept for upwards
of half an hour. The farmer's wife,
all the while thinking it her favorite kitten,
took no notiec of it until at length,
wishing to eject the intruder, she slightly
raised her dress for the purpose. .Judge
of her surprise on finding so deadly a creature
twisted round her leg. She sat per
fcctly still, not even looking at her husband,
lost bo should distui b the reptile. At last
it uncoiled itself, and then twisted itself
about her foot. The shoe fitted loosely,
and she softly withdrew her foot, made one
bound across the room, and called her husband's
attention to the cause of the disturbance.
The savage creature now charged
the wife, and was only kept oft'by thelitis
band with his Sunday coat. It soon retreat
cd, and got under a footstool, putting out
its head us if to threaten death to any one
who should approach it. A stick was
brought to the farmer, who struck a terrible
blow at its head, but hit the stool instead,
shivering the stick to pieces. This cxas
pcratcd the creature, which darted out at
tho iarnier, and was again kept at hay by
the coat. It at length retreated to the
bedroom, where it was killed.
Learuiu^ ? TradeIt
was a wise law of the ancient Jews
that the sons of even their wealthiest men
should he obliged to serve an apprenticeship
to some useful occupation, so that in
ease of reverse of fortune they might have
something to "fall back upon." The same
6till exists in Turkey, where every man,
even the Sultan himself must learn a trade.
How fortunate would it be now had it
been a law in this country "Would to
God 1 had a trade !'* is the cry of thousands
of returned soldiers, North and
South, who find themselves ruined in
pocket, with no immediate prospect of
gaining a livelihood. It should teach pa
rents that whatever else they may give their
sons, they should give a good trado One
ot our coiitcmporai ies most tru'hfully remarks,
that a popular idea among our people
in liiul ul! of their sons should adopt
clerkships, and the adoption of the business
of hnnlc.lrApnintr nc ? nimnt ..I ?1?
? 1?e "
their livelihood, and every effort is made
to give them an education to that end. So
far as the education of their children in
the science of keeping 'proper accounts is
concerned, the idea is a good one, as every
young man should have a sufficient knowl
edge to properly manage his own books
should he ever embark in business, hut to
make book keepers and clerks of all < nr
boys is a grand mistake. Better place
them in a workshop, mill or foundry, where
they can learn independent trades, which
at all times will secure for them employment,
and pecuniary compensation lor j
which will be at least as much, if not more,
than the business of accounts. We earn-1
cstly advise all parents to teach their sons
trades, no matter what, so that it is an industrial
pursuit, and let us in the future
be spared the pain of seeing so many stout,
able-bodied young men out of employment,
and seeking situations only where the pen
can be used.
Sleep and Death.?As men begin to
be about fifty years old, especially of scd
entary habits, the feeling on rising in the
morning is as if they had not gotten
enough of 6leep, not as much as they used
to have, and as if they would like to have
more but cannot get it. The} look upon a
healthy child sleeping soundly with feelings
of envy. But it is curious to observe that
there is a bliss to all in the act of going to
sleep, h bliss we become cognizant of only
when wo happen to be aroused just as we
are lulling into a strong sleep; and there
are strong physiological reasons to suppose
that this state is a counterpart of the great
event that conies to all, the act of dying.
In fact, those who have, in rare eases been
brought back to life when on its cxtrcmcst
verge, and in .several eases n? to those who
have been recovered from drowning and
other modes of strangulation, or simple
smothering, the expressions have been on
returning to consciousness, 'How delicious!'
"Why di I you not lot me go?" An emi
nent man thus brought back, represented
that the last remembered sensation of which
he was conscious, were as if he were listen
ing to the most ravishing strains of music.
Let us all, then, cherish the thought that
our approach to the sleep of the grave is
the strict counterpart of the approach ol
sleep.

Pill for an Aciiino Hollow Tooth.
?Take half a grain each of opium and
yellow sub sulphate of quicksilver, formerly
called turpcth mineral ; make them into
a pill, and place it in the hollow of the
tooth some hour before bed-time, with a
Btnall piece ol wax over the the top, when
it is said never to fail effecting a complete
cure. It was originally communicated,
with many other medical receipts, by a
learned physician at York.
It is said two men and a boy who confessed
several murders and robberies, were
lately lynched at Louise, Ky.
