PEEK'S HORSE. v The witness was being examined by the conn- v sel for the prosecution. i ^ "Mr. Peek, you say, was sitting in his house 0 in front of Jones' store when Mr. Lazenby! addressed him ?" I * "Yes, sir; and Lazenby says, says he, * 'Where did that glandered ruin come from ?'" j "Was he referring to Mr. Peek or to the horse ?" ? "To the horse. And Peek he allowed that: he didn't want Lazenby to apply any opprobri- * ous expressions to the horse or he'd knock | , the head off of him." I "Off the horse V" "Off of Lazenby. Then Lazenby^ he said i ^ he'd say what he pleased about Peek ana about Peek's horse; that it wasa free country, and that when he saw a horse like that, he was ashamed to think that the Republican l>arty had nominated him for Congress ; and"? "One moment; do I understand you to say that it was Peek or the horse that was nominated for Congress?" "Why Peek, of course. The horse, you know, couldn't get a nomination. So then Peek opened on him a volley of rough language, which made him so mad that he fairly turned white in the face." "Not the horse ?" "No, no, Lazenby. Peek was sitting on the horse, which stood quietly in the street. Then Lazenby rushed at him and caught him by the elbow and was going to hit him when?" "Try to make yourself clear. Caught Peek or the horse by the elbow ?" "Peek, and tried to pull him off. This frightened the horse and Peek could hardly hold him in; and as Lazenby still held on, Peek dug the spur in his side so that he reared right up on his hind legs, which?" "You are nowspeakingof Lazenby "Certainly not?of the horse, which threw ? Peek off, right under the horse's feet, and then 1 they clinched and rolled over and over in the < mud." ' i "Peek and who clinched ? Peek 'didn't < clinch with the horse ?" { "Oh, no ! Don't you understand ? Peek and ] Lazenby grappled and went at it like two wild < cats. They fought and fought, Peek mostly on top, and the horse standing calmly by and i watching the conflict and Lazenby doing his I best, when suddenly he reached out his hind i leg and fetched one on Peek's back, which 1 pretty nearly took the breath out of him." < "When you speak of the sudden extension 1 of the hind leg I do not understand you to ; mean Lazenby's leg, do I ?" < "I suppose you think that's smart, don't . you ?" i "Please answer my question. You say Peek was kicked in the back. Now, did La- 1 zenby kick him or did the horse kick him ?" i "Maybe you'd better subpoena the horse and < ask him." "Well, sir ; go on. What did he do afterhe was kicked ?" "He got up off of Lazenby and walked^iver to the horse, and Lazenby got up, and as Peek went to take hold of the horse he shied half a brick at him." "At Peek ?" i "Yes, sir." "The horse, you say, shield half a brick at Peek ?" "No, I didn't." "I think you said that I" "Maybe you'd better tell this story yourself 1" "Go on. Was it the horse or the?" "If I wasn't in court I'd shy a brick at you," said the indignant witness. And then the counsel for the prosecution announced that the other side might proceed with the cross-examination?Mux Alder in Our Continent.

" 'Cause I lost my all." "What all did you have?" "Stranger," said the man as he leaned back and wiped his forehead, "I went to Illinois with SO,000 in cash.

The desk in my office is at the head of a long flight of stairs, and in the haste of business my inkstand is often knocked off and rolled down. For a 1 long time I could get no material that would ' stand this usage. Glass was out of the ques- ' tion. Stone broke like crockery.

Had Seen tiie Anecdote.?A good sto- 1 ty is told by a French paper of two provin- j cials, a man and his wife, who visited the Louvre, in Paris. "What struck you most at the Louvre?" asked one of their friends, when ] they returned home and began to tell of the < wonders they had seen. "Oh," replied the j husband, "a picture which represented Ad am and Eve, with the apple and the serpent." \ And his excellent wife chimed in: "Yes we 1 found that very interesting, because, you know, we knew the anecdote." < * . - ( A Good One.?A gentleman, on a visit to ] Washington, one day, very coolly opened the 1 door of the Senate Chamber, and was about to ; < pass in, when the door keeper asked : "Are j 1 you a privileged member ?"

"From what 1 court or country ?" asked the official. Very i gravely pointing up, the stranger replied, ; "From Heaven, sir." To this the door keep- < er waggishly replied, "This government holds < no intercourse with that foreign power." 1 IttisceUiittcous jReafiing. Home, Sweet Home.?John Howard Payne ras a warm personal friend of John Ross, who Fill l>e remembered as a celebrated chief of lie Cherokees. At the time when the Cherkees were removed from their homes in Geor;ia to their present possessions, west of the Mississippi river, Payne was spending a few reeks in Georgia with Ross, who was occupyng a miserable cabin, having been forcibly jected from his former home. A number of irominent Cherokees were in prison, and that >ortion of Georgia in which the tribe was looted was scoured by armed squads of the ieorgia militia, who had orders to arrest all vho refused to serve the country. While Ross and Payne were seated before he lire in a hut, the door was suddenly burst >pen, and six or eight militia-men sprang into he room. Ross' wife was seated on a trunk lontaining many valuable papers and a small imount of money, and, at the unexpected inrusion, she sprang up and screamed wildly, toss spoke to her in the Cherokee language, elling her to be seated if she would save the :ontents of the trunk, and as she sat down main, the intruders told Ross that he and Payne were under arrest, and must prepare to iccompuny the squad to Milledgevillc, where hey would be imprisoned. The soldiers lost 10 time in taking the prisoners away. Ross ,vas permitted to ride on his own horse, while Payne was mounted on one led bv a soldier. Ys the little party left the hovel rain began 'ailing and continued until every man was lrenched thoroughly. The journey lasted all light. Toward midnight Payne's escort, in irder to keep himself awake, began huinning?home?sweet?sweet?home," when Payne remarked : * ''Little did I expect to hear that song unler such circumstances and at such a time. Do you know the author?" "No," said the soldier; "do you?" "Yes," Payne answered; "I composed it." "The deuce you did ! You can tell that to some other fellows, but not to me. Look lere, you made that song you say. If you lid?and I know you didn't?you can say it ill without stopping. It has something in it ibout pleasures and palaces. Now pitch in md reel it off, and if you can't I'll bounce fou from your horse and lead you instead if it." This threat was answered by Payne, who related the song in a slow, subdued tone, and ui ? 24- H.a mfL/-\1 a rinrr ! ?I1CI1 Sitllg 11, ILIcttvlll^ I/IIC n IIUJC nwua hmj, with the tender melody and pathos of the words. It touched the heart of the rough sollier, who was not only captivated but convinced, and who said that the composer of such a song should never go to prison, if lie 2ould help it; and when the party reached Milledgeville they were, after a preliminary examination, discharged, much to their surprise. Payne insisted it was because the leader of the squad had been under the magnetic influence of Ross' conversation, and Ross insisted that the had been saved ?rom insult and imprisonment b/the power of "Home, Sweet Home," sung as only those who feel can sing it. The friendship existing between Ross and Payne endured until the grave closed over the mortal remains of the latter. - How to Sleep Well.?No healthful sleep comes except that which follows voluntary or involuntary action of the body. Pedestrians fall into sound, deep sleep as soon as put to bed at the appointed time for rest. This is the sleep from voluntary muscular exercise. A i>erson in good health sits around the house all day; an invalid may all day sit and lounge and lie down from morning until night without sleeping; and both the healthy man and the invalid, in the course of the evening, will become sleepy ?* d fall into sound repose, the result of the weariness which involuntary action brings about; for the various organs of the body, the heart, the liver, the stomach, the eyelids, work steadily every day. The intestines are as ceaseless in their motion as the waves of the ocean; as these latter are always dashing toward the shore, so is the great viscereal machinery working, pushing waste of the body downward and outward from the first breath of existence to the last gasp of life. There is not a movement of the system, voluntary or involuntary, external or internal, which does not require power to cause it. When that power is to a certain extent exhausted, instinct brings on the sensation of sleepiness, which is the result of exhausted power, intended by nature to secure that cessation from activity which gives time for reeul>eration, very much as a man who runs for a while stops and rests so as to get stronger to run again. We get up in the morning with a certain amount of reserved or accumulated strength; in the course of the day that strength becomes expended to the point necessary for the commencement of a new supply, which comes from the rest, the rest from sleep. Opium narcotics, all forms of anodynes, cause sleep artificially, compelling rest. A horse may be tired so that he cannot move ; he is compiled to be at rest; it is not the rest of tiredness, hence it is unnatural. Anodynes tie a man down ; they take away his power of motion, they compel a rest, but it is not the rest which is the result of used-up strength, hence it is an artificial rest causing an artificial sleep, not natural; and sleep which is un/.rtnimf lvn lmoltliflll tllO Ilatuim uaiiliv/l uc uuubiiiiu ^ hviivv vi.w v* mv.. of the first utterances of this chapter?healthful slee|> comes from the expenditure of the strength of the body in various forms of exercise.? Hull's Journal of lkalth. Tiiaddeus Stevens,?Thaddeus Stevens was buried in tlie graveyard for colored people at Lancaster. He declined to lay his bones with those who were too proud to associate themselves even in death with the race whose sufferings had excited his sympathy. In his public conduct, in his domestic life, and in his testamentary arangements, he made clear his detestation of the destinction which society had always mantained. Stevens was certainly the great Commoner t>f the war period. He was for a while the House of Representatives; its action lay in his voice. Opposition wilted before his strong will. Weaker men, and sometimes more conscientious men, cowed beneath his lash, and were driven into measures they fain would have escaped. Gen Garfield, for instance, did not believe in the constitutionality of the reconstruction laws ; he had, indeed demonstrated their unconstitutionality in the Supreme Court; but he voted for them under Stevens' stern command as obediently as if it had been high treason to have an opinion of his own. Stevens tolerated "no nonsense," as he called it. When a member offended him, or was slack in his service, which he called the service of the party, he had no hesitation in writing to the gentleman's constituents tnat nenaa 110 runner use ior aim, anu mey had better keep him at home. Tie never pretended that he thought the reconstructional laws constitutional. On the contrary he candidly stated his opinion that they were entirely "outside the constitution," and as candidly expressed his sovereign contempt for the intellect of any man who supposed they were inside. Ilis doctrine of political necessity covered the case. He had no notion of pausing to consider of matters in their mere legal right when the interest he had in charge reiiuired him to go ahead. With much of the moral coarseness of Danton, lie had many of the high mental qualities of Mirabeau. Tie was one of the greatest of revolutionary leaders. lie rode the storm and rode it for a purpose. There was a time when Mr. Lincoln's power was not comparable to the actual power wielded by Stevens. No other man in American history has ever occupied the singular position which courage, genius and stern conviction ?ave him.?Phihuleli?ki<i Press. Tur Vni.-inHiimw?The "I.:nlv nf Alexandria," who is contributing to the Kohmche Zeitumj those interesting sketches of liome life in Egypt, which none but a woman could give in detail, sends a picture of the interior of the Khedive's house. Tewfik Pacha, is most persons are probably aware, has distinguished himself from his contemporaries upon eastern thrones by restricting himself, ifter the western and Christian manner to me wife. The Vice Queen, as "the Lady" :alls Tewfik's spouse, is a daughter of El Elamid Pacha, and grand-daughter of the famous Abbas Pacha. She is a beautiful and cultivated women, who tenderly loves her lusband and her four children, and takes an tetive part in the education of the latter, rhe eldest boy, Abbas, and his brother are taught by a Swiss pedagogue, and the two ittle girls are placed under the care of Engish nurses. The Khedive's wife is not free from hateful tricks of petty annoyance, which ire often played oil upon her. Thus, she received lately a visit from two Turkish ladies :?f high position, to whom she offered, after the usual custom, cigarettes with the chiffre of the Khedive upon them. When they had gone the black servants that these ladies had, left behind them in the ante chamber numbers of the cigarettes with the chiffre of Arabi Pacha, as an insult to the Khedive through his wife." "The Lady" says that the "Vice Queen" has passed through agonies since the first tumult in Cairo. Like the imperial family in Russia, She is in fear of Palace intrigues, and lias only a few Circassians about her, in whom she can place perfect confidence, and they are slaves. She told her European visitor that nothing would be so great a joy and relief to her as an entire renunciation of the precarious and dangerous splendor and dignity in which she lives, and the retirement with her husband and chirdren to a safe and quiet life. She has always hitherto been profuse in her charities toward the Arab population ; but since the outbreak of the 11th of .June, and the fearful scene of which she was a trembling eye-witness from behind the front bars of the harem windows, she declares that she will in future be more circumspect in her benevolence.*? London Echo Wiien Girls are of Age.?There is a very prevalent opinion that girls become of age younger than boys. This is a mistake. A girl of sixteen may make a will of her personal property, a boy must be eighteen years of age. Neither can make a will of lands until twenty-one. A boy of seventeen may marry. A girl can marry at fourteen. If she marries under fourteen she, or either of her parents, can commence suit to annul the marriage, and the court will declare the marriage void, because she, when married, had not attained the age of legal consent. But the husband cannot maintain sjich an action. He is bound by the marriage, and cannot escape its responsibilities unless the wife or her parents have the marriage declared void by the courts. If the marriage is ratified by any mutual assent of the parties after the wife attained the age of fourteen years both become bound by it. A minor cannot submit to an arbitration, but may sue of be sued. In a suit she must appear by a guardian appointed by the court. If she j be fourteen this is made on her application, if under fourteen on the application of a relative. He \Vho deals with a minor does so at his peril, as contracts with them are voidable. If to the minor's advantage they can enforce them. If not their minority is suflicient excuse for refusal to i?erform. In the matter mentioned and some others, girls are recognized by the law as being more forward than boys ; and at an earlier age afe permitted to act for themselves. These distinctions are while they are minors. After they become adults there is no distinction on account of their age. Boys and girls alike attain full age when twenty-one years old. Girls are of age at twenty-one, and hug utuoie.?j.iujiw ki . Making Teeth.?1The manufacture of teeth is a large industry. There are now twelve manufactories of artificial teeth, that produce every "year ten million teeth, or one to every five persons in the United States. Half this number is made by one firm, founded in 1814. The total sales of these teeth amount to one million dollars annually. The materials are lieldspar, kaolin and rock crystal. The coloring is platinum, titanum and gold. The lieldspar and crystal are subjected to a red heat and then thrown into cold water. Then they are ground in water until fine enough to float. Combined with coloring, they are subjected to immense furnace heat in moulds of brass, which are in two pieces, each moulding one-half of the tooth. The process is delicate and has many interesting details. In the earlier history of the art dentists carved the teeth which their customers demanded, and apprentices were often made useful in that way. The amount of gold used annually in filling teeth is live hunI died thousand dollars. Lead was used from j 1178 to 183:1. There are dentists in New York who give, or say they give, diamond fillings, I and in Paris they advertise diamond pivots and emerald plugs. The filling of teeth is aided greatly by labor-saving machinery and cunningly-wrought tools. This country makes dental instruments for all parts of the world where dentistry is known. An ordinary outfit of instruments costs live hundred dollars. Don'ts fou the Giuls.? Don't run down your young lady friends in their absence : it's a mighty mean trait. Don't flirt. Don't talk slang. Don't put on airs. Don't learn to be cranky. Don't think it pretty to be pert. Don't make a drudge of your mother. Don't say "no" when you mean "yes." Don't meddle with other people's beaus. Don't make a fright of yourself to be in the prevailing fashion. Don't engage in picking up chance acquantances on the street. Don't look on every young man as a goodnatured ice-cream freezer. Don't make up your mind to be sweet to every-body's brother but your own. I Don't marry a man who has no evident way of supporting you. Loye and starvation nave played out. Don't lose your heart on a Darwinian specimen who parts his hair in the middle. There are plenty of men who want wives, wait patiently and you will get one. Don't boast of your ignorance of housework. In the present state of society there is no surer stamp of vulgarity. Marriage.?Marriage, is of all earthly unions, almost the only one permitting no change but that of death. It is that engagement in which man exerts his most awful and solemn power?the power of responsibility which belongs to him as one that shall give account, the power of abnegating the right to change?the power of parting with his freedom?the power of doing that which in this world can never be reversed. And yet it is perhaps that relationship which is spoken of most frivolously, and entered into most carelessly and most wantonly. It is not a union merely between two creatures, it is a union between two spirits; and the intention of that bond is to i>erfect the. nature of both, by supplementing their deficiencies with the force of contrast, giving to each sex those excellencies in which it is naturally deficient; to the one, strength ; the other, sympathy, tenderness, meekness. A ii/l .if /.li.n-i/.f in- !nul firmnp?< nf moral will to just so solemn, and just so glorious as these the ends are for which the union was contemplaj ted and intended, just so terrible are the con| sequences if prevented and abused ; for there is no earthly relationship which has so much power to ennoble and to exalt. I .Don't Go in Deht.?Debt is the most un; relenting tyrant against which humanity battles. Before its merciless lash millions cringe, and live out a dwarfed existence. Suicide, lunacy, premature death and crime are the offspring ot this monster; yet upon it money kings fatten, titled or untitled aristocracy thrives, while the great mass of humanity j toils on as galley slaves to this potentate, j The destruction of this dictator is the probi lom of the near future, whose solution may be | found in the destruction of the unjust money i system and the establishment of a just one. When business men fully realize the cause of the : debt system of obtaining money, and demand that ii shall cease, anxious days and sleepless i nights will vanish and Immunity will be ad' vanced to a plane on which the greatest good i to the greatest number will be realized beyond the hopes of the most Utopian dreamer. | Banish debt and civil liberty will have completed its cycle, and reached the goal. Slow Growth the Si* rest.?Do not allow your children to learn too rapidly. The desire to push a boy ahead to develop precocious tendencies, to have bright pupils, is among the vanities of teaching. The surest growths are the slowest, lie who makes haste slowly will generally win in the long run?win at least all that is worth having in the prizes I of life. This truth will come to general acceptance with education. A Goethe, a Hugo, a Carlisle and an Emerson living on to green old age are of more value to the world than the corruscating careers of Burns and Byron and Poe, going out in an hour as it were, and leaving behind them not so much the work did as the sorrow of mankind that they did not do the great work that was in them. A gentleman who has been familiar with \ the working of the produce market for years J says that the whole cause of the trouble is in j the wild craze for speculating. Nothing is j free from the touch of the speculator. The ' backwardness of the season, that caused a' scarcity in vegetables, opened the doors for j speculators, and they rushed in. Meats and vegetables of all kinds are held in quantity by i simulators, and while they are making money j the masses must suffer. "Sopner or later," I said the gentleman, "something will have to be done in this country to keep the hands of the speculators off of the necessaries of life." j?eaiixg fat the fabbath. CONDUCTED BT R.EV. ROBERT LATH AN. | Original.] 1 TIIE TRUE CHURCH. It is a fact, which has never been denied, that man is is a sinner. No matter when or how lie become a sinner, the fact stares us j in the face continually. It is also a fact taught ( in the Scriptures, and corroborated by the 1 providence of God, that some remedial scheme ! has been devised by which the evil consequences of sin maybe averted. No sooner, according to the Bible account, had man sinned than God made the announcement that he had devised a scheme by which his law could be maintained, in all its dignity, and sinners saved. This announcement was "at sundry times and in divers manners," repeated during a period of full four thousand years.. In process of time, it assumed all the characteristics oi a covenant, un eacn successive itiiiiuiineement the promise was made more clear, until the fullness of time came, and the Messiah was born, and the canon of Scripture completed. Those who accept the promise that the seed of the woman shall bruise the head of the serpent, constitute the Church of the living God. In point of time, they are scattered from Adam down to the present moment, and will extend from the present time to the final consummation of all things. In other respects they embrace the inliabitants of all lands, and individuals of all racqgf v This Church, which Gdil in mercy established here on earth, has become greatly corrupted. There is no pure church in this world. The great arch enemy of souls has sown tares of corruption, and they continue to grow and propagate themselves. Notwithstanding the fact that the Church of God has, by evil doers, been corrupted, it is still the duty of all who profess to be members of the church to strive to keep it pure and spotless. There is a false church as well as a true church. There is .counterfeit money as well as genuine coin. However close the resemblance of the counterfeit may be to the genuine coin, it is still very injurious to the Af /mnnfrtr in \?rf\is>h nirnilkt.PQ L'luo'"owl ... .? Just so it is with false religion. It may have many of the apparent characteristics of true religion, but still it is in the end ruinous. The tendency of the evil is to root out good. The husbandman finds no small part of his labor to consist in destroying noxious weeds. Just so to destroy the false church is no small part of the labors of the true church. The characteristic of the true church is that it is strictly a Bible Church. Every false church, and every corruption of the true church is anti-Bible, both in theory and practice. To the true Church the Bible is law on every point. It is law so far as doctrine, form of government and mode of worship are concerned. In true religion there are no doctrines which are not taught in the Scriptures, neither are there any forms of church government allowable, which are not laid down in the Bible, and to worship God in a way not appointed in his word is a heinous sin. It may be said that the Church, in distinction from all false and corrupt churches, has a Bible creed, a Bible form of government and a Bible mode of worship. The true Church may be, and often is corrupted by introducing into it, for doctrines, the commandments of men, and for rules of government the thrones of politicians, and for modes of worship the suggestions of proud and corrupt hearts. {Original.} MOTIVES. The reason that some persons do not commit some sins is because they are cowards. They ure afraid that if thejolo what they really desire to do, it will bring them into trouble. If they were absolutely sure that no one could Hud them out, they would do all sorts of wick*>.1 nr>fu flmv would sfpid and commit mur | V V* wvvv?? .. der, but their cowardice is so great that they keep themselves constantly in the back ground. They desire to be safe rather than right. Expediency is the motive which prompts others to act, or deters them from acting. No matter whether an act be right or wrong in itself, this class of the human family will not perform it unless it can be viewed by them as expedient. If, however, it can be shown that an act is in accordance with worldly policy, they will perform it, no matter whether it be right or wrong. There is another class which cannot be induced to do what it regards as unpopular. Those who constitute this class of the human family will do or suffer anything provided it will secure for them popular applause. They are ready to climb mountains, to cross broad seas, or even to die, provided their acts will receive the commendation of the multitude. None of these three classes of men can be safely depended upon. Only the man who does | what lie regards as right and refrains from doing what he regards as wrong, can be safely trusted. ~ [Original.J SAD. It is manifest tliat a large number of the human family enjoy but few of the comforts of this world. They are poor. They were born amid scenes of squalid poverty, and surrounded by poverty they spend all their days. There is something sad in this. It is painful to see human beings drag out an existence under such circumstances. But sad as is the present life of many of the human family, their prospect for another world is even more so. They have no fear of God before their eyes. God's word is by them despised, and his holy name profaned. They have no home here and no inheritance beyond the tomb. The present is cheerless aud the future is dark and gloomy. They have no friend who will accompany them beyond the confines of this dreary world. In their folly they reject the offers of mercy nmdeditfm by God, and they are literally without God and without hope. [Original.] rrruiyr a rriAV 1 lillll 1 Ai 1VKI One petition contained in the Isold's Prayer is: "Lead us not into temptation." It is the duty as well as the privilege of all to offer up this petition to God ; but it is glaringly inconsistent in us to ask God to keep us from being tempted, while we make no effort to avoid the paths of the tempter. It seems to be little less than solemn mockery to ask God to give us what we do not desire, and do not labor to obtain. It is both foolish and wicked to ask (rod to keep us from being tempted to sin, so long as we walk in the counsel of the ungodly, or stand in the way of the sinner, or sit in the seat of the scornful. It we would avoid being burned, we must keep out of the fire. A Bible, with all its predestination and election omitted, would be a curiosity?revealing a deity without plans, purpose, foreordination, a free-will Bible only. Methinks the bona fide Scriptures are best and should satisfy every one. One would as easily think of a man without plans as of a God without predestination. fcrMle inquirer.
