Tho best defonce of lying that was ever road, the remark of Charles.Lamb, related by Leigh Hunt, that '-'truth was precious and not to be -wasted on ovory body." ???- A person was boasting that ho was Bprung from a high family in Ireland.? "Yes," said a bystander, "I have seen some of tho same family so high that their feet could not touch the ground." ? The inventor of the tilting hoops has made a fortune. Some enterprising fol? low might make a bigger fortune by in? venting hoops that will tilt a little higher. ? Jones, a gentleman from the rural districts, called on that man up Broad? way who "rostores oil paintings," and re? quested him to try and restore one stolen from tho rosidonco of Jones three years ago. ? A countryman in Atlanta, on the 4th, hearing the "national salute" fired, mistook it for a ronewal of the war, and left in haste to avoid the conscript officer. ? "Terriblo weather, this!" said Quilp, wiping his brow. "Hover saw any weath? er too hot for me," was the derisive reply. "Good for you," repliod Quilp; "I con? gratulate you on being prepared for your ultimate destiny!" ? "What is that?" said the Sunday school teacher, pointing to thoiotter O. "Dunno," said the urchin. "What do you say when you stub your toes." "D?n it," was tho precocious reply. :? If tho spring puts forth no blossoms, in summer there will bo no beauty, and in autumn no fruit. So, if tho youth be trifled away without improvement, riper age will bo contemptible, and old age miserable. ? An old Baptist minister, says the Ro ligious Herald, enforcccL,the necessities of difference of opinion by argument : "Now if ovory one had been of my opinion, they would have all wanted my old woman." One of the deacons who sat just bohind him, responded: "Tea, and if everybody was of my opinion, nobody would have her." ? Franz of the Brandon (Miss.) Re? publican, says: Douglas Jerrold calls women's arras the serpents that wind around men's necks, killing the best resolutions. That class of serponts can just wind around our neck as much as they please, and if any of tho young ladies believe "what Jerrold says, thoy can como and try the experiment on us. We'll risk tho consequence ? It is said that Lane, of Indiana, de? clared in the late Radical caucus in Wash? ington, "that a million of soldiers would flock to the Capitol to sustain Congress against the tyranny of the Prcsidont." If that bo truo, it would not bo the sol? diers who fought for the very object that the President is laboring to effect, the restoration of tho Union. If any million come, it would be those who are "soldiers in peace, citizens in war." ? The "local" of the Mobile Advertiser being at tho Mayor's Court some days since, whore tilting hoops wore "bobbing around" in a promiscuoug manner, says . that he could not restrain his poetical fancy as he gazed on the scene and thought how much? Those hoops were liko the poet Gray, As we could plainly see, - For they, as Gray, did show the world A beautiful LEG! ? Insects must generally lead a joyful life. Think what it must be to lodgo in a lilly. Imagine a palace of ivory or pearl. With pillars of silver and capitals of gold, all exhaling such perfuhie as never arose from a censor. Fancy again the fun of tucking yourself up for the night in tho folds of a rose, rocked to sleop by the gentle sighs of tho Bummer air, and nothing to do when you wake up but to wash yourself in dew drop and fall to and eat your bed clothes. -:?? Sleep axd Death.?As men begin to bo about fifty years old, especially of se? dentary habits, the feoling on rising in the morning is as if thoy had not gotton enough of sleep, not as much as they used to have, and as if thoy would liko to have moro but cannot get it. Thoy 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 sloep, a bliss we boj eome cognizant of only when we happon to be aroused just as we aro falling into a strong sleepy and there are strong phys? iological reasons to suppose that this state is a counterpart of tho great evont that comes to all, tho act of dying. ' In fact, those who havo, in rare cases been biought back to life when on its extremest verge, and in several cases as 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 deli? cious !" "Why did you not let me go ?" An eminent man, thus brought baok, represented that the last remembered sensation of which he was conscious were as if he were listening to the most rav? ishing sti'ains of music. Let us all, then, cherish tho thought that our ap? proach to the sleep of tho grave is the strict counterpart of the approach of sleep. Ar? Awkward Predicament. Over in Missouri lives a Mrs. Hemp dale, who has, or had a daughter named Laura, who loved a man namod Jack.? This man Jack she didn't like, but sho was informed by a neighbor that Jack and Laura had arranged a plan of elope? ment. Her mind was quickly made up. Sho announced to Laura tho next morn? ing that she was going to Belleville on a visit, to be gone three days, and that she must be a good girl and not tear the house down while she was gone. That night Jack knew of it, and as he read the nice littlo note that bade him "como over early and stay until mother comes back, and what a splendid time we^ will have," he smiled, knocked the ashes off from his cigar and resolved "of course ho would." Jack went over, but there is no earthly use in our attempting to describe tho de? lectable things ho enjoyed; it was sugar season on that plantation, sure. Just be? fore duBk, while Jack was running over full of tho glory of the occasion, in rushes Miss Laura's black waiting woman, with? "Lor bross my black soul, chil'n, ef yero aint olo missus right at tho gate,? aure !" "My God! Dinah, what shall wo do with Jack?" "Pop Mm in dat are cloBet, dar, Miss Laura!" and Jack was popped into tho closet in a twinkling. In stalked tho old lady, and after sharply scrutinizing the disconcerted and blushing countonanco of Laura, felt sure that Jack had been there. "Come hero, Laura. Now you can't deceive me. That abominable Plaine has been here, and you and ho have fixed up a runaway match, to come off to-night. Oh, you littlo thing, you, after your bringing up, to treat me so. But you'll find your mother is no fool. You'll find that she's too sharp for you, my lady.? Sooner than you should marry that mis? erable Jack Plaine, I'd sco you laid in your grave.^ He's not going to squander my money, I assure you. The old lady roso, and going to a clothes press roturned with several comforters and a pillow, and walking up to tho closet where Jack was concealed, threw them in with a flirt, and turning to tho trembling Laura, said: "Now, march in here, miss; stop along! I'll see that you don't get no where noar that low-flung mechanic this night!" Laura whispered and protested that sho didn't want to, declaring that her mother would be "sorry for this some time." But without paying any attention to her protestations, her mother gave her a push, shut tho door, locked it, and tri? umphantly put tho key in hor pocket, and in duo time went to bod. Pretty early in the morning tho old lady arose, and with? out waiting to. dress, fished the koy out of her pocket, and opening the closet door to bid Laura to come forth, gazed wildly for ono instant, and then uttered a pierc? ing scream. Recovering very speedily, she started away from the door and called faintly: "Laura, Laura, dear! go into tho kitchen and see about tho broakfast I"? Then presently?"Jack, I say Jack ?" Jack came forth with a very son-in-law looking air, and answered? "Well, madam, what is it?" "Jack, do you know anything about a farm?" "Not to speak of, marm." "You can read, and write, and cypher, 1 suppose ?" "Nothing to brag of, marm." "Well, at any rato, Jack, I think that after breakfast you and Laura may as well go down to the city and get married, for I'm tirod of watching you, that's a fact." ? Stole Him, but DiDN't Eat Him.?The Baton Rougo Advocate relates the follow? ing: Last week a case was up before tho jury, and the district attorney had ex? hausted all his oloquonce in tho attempt to convict a darkey for stealing a goose. The judge was tired, the jury wearied, and the bar officials and spectators all hoped tho case would bo speedily closed, but they were doomed to diappointment. Up rose the old major, the hero of a thou? sand contests at tho bar, and for two hours a flow of eloquence pourod forth upon the ears of the jury, evidently con? vincing them of the prisoner's innoconce. Shrugs and gestures denoted that all they wanted was a chance to get out of the jury corner, and that goose, darkey, prosecutor and all concerned, might go to Guinea if they could be released. Tho major piled it on thick, ho showed them law after law, road supreme court condensed decisions, referred to every? thing relative to geese from the Roman fftne down to tho present, and closed his brilliant appeal by oalling their attention to tho honest countenance of the client: "could such a 'man steal?the Heavens forbid, look at his face, you perceive ster? ling honesty in every lineament?could you steal, prisoner at the bar, could you steal a?goose ? show the gentlemen your innocence by the sincerity of your an? swer. "Yes sar, I did steal urn but I didn't eat um," was tue unexpected re? sponse, and the gallant major, thunder struck and exhausted, caved. THE SABBATH. Freeh glides tho brook and blows the gale, Yet yonder halts the quiet mill! The whirling wheel, the rushing sail, How motionless and still 1 Six days of toil, poor ohild of Cain, Thy strength the slave of want may be; The seventh tby limbs escape the chain? A God hath made theo free I Ah ! tender was the law that gave This holy respite to the breast, To breathe the gale, to watch the wave, And know the wheel may rest! But where the waves tho gentlest glide, What image charms to light thine eyes ? The spire reflected on the tide Inspires thee to the skies. To teach the soul its noblest worth, Tho rest from mortal coils is given ; Go snatch the brief reprieve from earth And pass?a guest to Heaven. -~?* - UNFOBGOTTEH. Sweet lady mine, the faded rose Is often dearor than the flower FreBh-gathered; so each memory grows More precious since the parting hour ; And all love's crtist-hand can give Of glowing tint and tender shade Is with me, that your face may live In colors that can never fade. And still my fancy paints you near, Though all the room is lone and drear ; And oft at oventido I hear Your phantom footsteps on the stair; A presence in the gathering gloom Thrills all my pulses with delight, And seems to glorify the room With loveliness denied my sight. And little reok I that long miles Of smiling lands and foamy sea Divide us ; lovo at distance smiles, And holds the willing winds in foe ; And every wind that racks the clouds, Or gently moulds them in the blue, Bears love-thoughts in tumultuous crowds, Or softly wafts a prayer for you. -;-* The Wife-?Only let a woman bo sure that she is procious to her husband?not useful, not valuablo, not convenient, sim? ply, but lovely and beloved; let her bo the recipient of his polito, hearty atten? tions ; lot her feel that her care and lovo are noticed, appreciated and returned; let her opinion be asked, her approval sought, and her judgment respected in matters of which she is cognizant; in short, lot hor only be loved, honored and cherished, in fulfillment of the marriage vow. and she will be to her husband, her childron and society, a well-spring of pleasure. She will bear pain,and toil, and anxiety, for her husband's love is, to her, a tower and fortress. Shielded and shel? tered therein, advorsity will havo lost its sting. She may suffor, but sympathy will dull tho edge of sorrow. A houso with love in it?and by love I mean love expressed in words, and looks, and deeds, for I havo not one spark of faith in love that nover crops out?is to a houso without lovo as a person to a ma? chine; one is life, tho other is mechanism. The unloved woman may have bread just as light, a houso just as tidy as tho other; but tho lattor has a spring of boauty about her, a joyousness, an aggressive and pene? trating and pervading brightness, to which the former is a stranger. The deep happiness in her heart shines out in her face. Sho is a ray of sunlight in the houso. She gleams over it. It is airy, and gay, and graceful, and warm, and welcoming with her presenco; she is full of dovices and plots, and sweet surprises for husband and family ; she has never done with the romance of life; sho, herself, is a lyric poem, setting herself to all pure and gracious melodies. Humble house? hold ways and duties havo for her a gol? den significance. The prize makes the calling high, and the end sanctifies the means. "Lovo is heaven, and heaven is lovo." -?, A Youth who Never Saw a Woman. Meadow's history of tho Chinese, lately published in London, in a chapter on lovo. has tho following story: A Chinese who had been disappointed in marriage, and had grievously suffered through women in many other ways, re? tired with his infant son to the peaks of a mountain range in Kwoichoo, to a spot quite inaccessible to the little footed Chi? nese women. Ho trained the boy to wor? ship the gods and stand in awe and ab? horrence of tho devils, but he never men? tioned women to him, always decending the mountain alone to buy food. At length, however, the infirmities of age compelled him to take the young man with him to carry the heavy bag of rice As they were leaving the markot togeth? er, the son stopped short and pointing to three approaching objects, cried, " Father, what are those things. Look I look! what are they?" The father instantly an? swered with the peremptory order," Turn away your hoad; they are devils V The son in some alarm turned away, noticing that the evil things were gazing at him with surprise from behind their fans. He walked to the mountain in silence, oat no supper and from that day lost his ap? petite and was afflicted with melancholy. For some time his troubled and anxious parent could got no satisfactory answer to his inquiries, but at length the young man burst out, crying with inexplicable pain, "Oh, father, that tallest devil! that tallest devil, father." -*. ? Swimming is one of the regulai bran? ches of a Honolulu female boarding school. A professorship in one of those institu? tions would bo a very desirable " posish." The Empty Cradle.?There is a whole volume of poetry in tho following little sketch, which wc find in the last number of Miss Barber's Weekly: We met John on the stairs. He was carrying an old cradle to be stowed away among what he termed "plunder," in the lumber-room. One rocker was gone, and the wicker work of tho sides broken ; it was an old willowy affair, but we could not refrain from casting a sad look intb its empty depths. "Gone I" we said dreamily, "all gone!" "What golden heads were once pillowed here, heads on which the curls grew moist in slumber, and the cheeks and lips flush? ed to the hue of rose leaves. When sleep broke, tho silken fringed lips opened heavily from the slumberous eyes; smiles flitted like sunbeams over the face ; the white fist was thrust into the mouth, and when mamma lifted the muslin and peep? ed to see if baby was sleeping, cooing and crowing were heard ! Tho little feet began to kick out of pure delight, and kicked on until both of the tiny red shoes wore landed at the foot of the cradle. Where aro those heads now? Some that were embrowned by vigorous manhood aro sleeping on battle-fields; some are bleached with time and cares, and the feet have grown sore and weary on the rough paths of life. Perhaps some littlo ono, once tenderly rocked here, is sleeping in the coffin. Over it grow heart's ease and vigorous box, and white candy-tuft, and the starry jessamine. The blue-bird flitters its bright wings through the willow bough ; and tho cool summer wind whispors to tho green leaves and grass blades on the grave. What of? perlTaps of its immor? tality. Sleep on, littlo dreamless ono. "Of such is the Kingdom of Hoaven." - A Delicate Beide.?Between Yreka and Jacksonville, Oregon, there was a wedding last winter, about the time of the deep snow, when Mr. Pelham and other citizens wore corralled in that cold country. Tho families of tho respective parties to the marriage were in attend? ance, and the party was rather alter the old fashioned style, made up of neighbors, their wives and babies, and anybody that happened to be stopping anywhere with? in accessible distance. It was a pleasant affair; but, like all similar assemblages, it dispersed, and the bride returned to her chamber, first having whispered to the fond groom, "Don't come up for half an hour." This boing a first request, ho obeyed, waited the tinio anxiously, nor let tho hand of tho ticking clock pass by a second of tho limit ore he had gone to her with whom his life was joined. Rapping gently at the door of the bri? dal chamber, and receiving no reply, he entered unbidden and saw his wife lying on tho bed, arrayed in night-gear of the purest whito, presenting a picture of beau? ty, taste and loveliness bej'ond compari? son. One stop further, a closer look, and tho blood rushed back to his heart?she was dead! Loudly calling for help, fath or, mother, brother, sister, bridemaids, all the household rushed to tho room. The mother discovered that her daughter still breathod, but horror,upon 'horrors ! thorc lay the empty vial from which the fatal draught had been taken. Messengers were dispatched for physicians, the pa? tient was rubbed and sprinkled, and hopes were entertained of her revival, symp? toms looking favorable. At this juncture, some one picked up a piece of folded pa? per from a table, on which was writ ion, in tho delicate hand of the fair young bride: "Be not alarmed, dear husband. Feel? ing that tho occasion would be too much for my nerves, I have taken chloroform. "Your Own Wife." --*j>, - ? Woman.?To the honor, tho eternal of tho fair sox, bo it said, that in the path of duty no sacrifice is with them too high or too dear. Nothing is with them impossi? ble, but to shrink from what love, honor, innocence and religion require. The voice of pleasure or of power may pass by unheeded, but the voice of affliction never. Tho chamber of the sick, tho pil? low of the dying, the vigils of tho doad, the altars of religion, never missed the presence or sympathies of woman. Timid though she be, and so delicate that the winds of heaven may not too roundly visit her, on such occasions she loses all sense of danger, and assumes ? preter? natural courage which knows not and foars no consequences. Then she displays that undaunted spirit which neither courts difficulties nor evades them; that resignation which utters neither murmurs nor regrets; and that patience in suffer? ing which seems victorious over death it? self.?Judge Story. -o A Good Wife.?A good wife is one who puts her husband in the side of the bed next to the wall, and tucks him in to keep him warm in the winter, splits the wood, makes the fires in the morning, washes her husband's face, and draws on his boots for him, never suffers a rent to remain in her husband's small clothes, keeps her shoes up at the heels, and her stockings darned, never wonders what her husband sees interesting in the young woman who lives across the way, never slams the door when her husband is speak? ing, and always removes tho children when they eat up their father's supper. -o ? Congress adjourned on the 28th ult. ? A gentleman recently traveling from the "West in a sleeping car witnessed the following scene: In the same car with him was a gentleman trying to still a cry? ing child by carrying it to and fro in the car, and which, by its screams, finally ir? ritated a man in one of the berths to such a degree that he could endure it no longer, and cried out profanely, "What in-is the matter with that young one ?" And soon again, "Whore is the mother ofthat child that she is not here to pacify it?" At this the poor gentleman in charge of the child stepped to the berth and said: "Sir, the mother of this child is in her cof? fin, in the baggage car." Our informant says the gruff grumbler immediately arose, compelled the afflicted father to re? tire to his berth, and from that time until morning took the little orphan under his own care.
