It is an irksome word an! task; . And, when be'3 lammed and said his say, "iHe shows, as he remove* the mask, A face that's anything but gay.

As erst at twelve in corduroys; And if. in time of sacred youth, "We learned at home to love and pray, Fray heaven that eariy lovo and truth May never wholly pass away. And in the world; as in tho school, I'd say how fate may change and shift Tho prize be sometimes with the fool, The race nt?t, always to the swill; The strong may yield, the good may fill, The great man be a vulgar clown, The knave be Ulled over all, The kind cast pitilessly down.

How lt U O po rated-Enormous Profits Demoralizing Tendency of thc Institu? tion. ? A Havana correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce writes : ' Probably most of your readers who have been in this city, and many who have "not, know something of the Havana Lottery, but a brief description of tho modus operandi may not be amiss. It is an old institution, from which the government hos long derived a con? siderable revenue. At present the drawings are held ever; seventeen days, and the scheme is as follows :' For each drawing there are is? sued by- the government 26,000 tickets, at $20 each, amounting in tho aggregate to $520,000, of which snm seventy-five per cent, is distrib? uted in priies. Ihe tickets are printed in fraction?, having on them the consecutive num? bers from one to 26,000. The prizes are-one of $100.000; one of $50.000; one of $20,000: one of $10,000; twp of $5000; twenty-four of $1000; -"""?fifty-eight of '$500; one hundred and two ot $400, and two hundred and twenty-five of $250. There are, besides,-approximation prices, as follows: The ninety-nine remaining num? bers of the hundred in which the highest prize faces are each entitled lo $200 (for exam? ple, if number 12.564 grains the $100,000, tko numbers from 12,504 to 12,600 each gain $230) ; in the same manner there are riinety-nia* ap? proximation prizes of $150 to the one of $50, 000, and ninety-nine of $100 to the $20,000, and twenty-seven approximation of $200 each to the remaining number of tho tens in which the .prize of $10,000 and the two of $5000 fall, lb"?" _ " r?"prui5e, amotBitlii* to $390,000. The tickets are bought by fue billeteros or street venders from the office at $20 and retail fed at $2125. A considerable number bf men and women, probably two or three hundred, thus gain a living in this city, where they are to be seen in all the principal thoroughfares, cafes, and other places of resort, as also in all the cities of the island. . Tho day before the drawing they are especially importunate in their solicitations, nourishing their tickets, and rShouting lustily "Le juega manana.!" (played to-morrow.) " * The drawings are held publicly in the court of the treasury building, and aro superintend? ed by several officers ol'the government. In a large globe (having a shoing door big enough to admit a man's arm) are placed 26, OOu bits of ivory of tho size ot a dime, hr.viug on them the consecutivo numbers from uno to twenty-six thousand. In a smaller globe are placed similar bits of i^ory having on them the various prizes from $100,000 down. Atter the globes have been revolved and the bits of ivory well shaken, two small boys (from tho orphan asylum) perform the dr?wiug. One bey inserts his h\nd into tho largo globe and takes out A number which he exhibits to the inspectors and then calls out. At tho same time the other boy draws from the other -globe a prize which Yxj also exhibits to - the inspectors, and calls -mt. A man who "stands in readiness writes ok a blackboard, placed in view of the spectators,x>aacli number and prize as they are called. And so-tho draw j mg is continued until all the prizss are <lrawn from the smaller globe. To a physiognomist it affords no little amusement'to watch r>e : crowd of eager expectants, and the boys them- - solves so mechanically and indifferently uLM vi? and call out numbers and prizes iu their shrill tenor. 1res mil ?tos cientos cienteocko ! pipes one; Cuatro cientos pesos ? responds tho other; and instantly ou the blackboard is written No. 3228-$400-and so on to the end. I have never heard any fraud charged, and do not think that any exists in tho manage? ment of the lottery. The best evidence of tnis is that the large prizes often fall to persons who could not, by any possibility, be in collu? sion with the managers; and the fact that gov? ernment officials, merchants and others, who would soon detect fraud if tbtre were auv, constantly buy the tickets. I have heard some curious incidents rotated of tho lottery. A commercial house of this city ? -had subscribed for several years for a whole ticIt??^of a certain number. At length they becamo^uroived, and having to pay suddeniy about $S0,?ce-^were unub'o to commaud the amount. The tiny before the drawing the ..ticket seller went as- uaual to their counting i room with the ticket. Or?e of tho partners told "Mm to go and sell it to nome one else-that tb^vould not tike, it any longer. He did so, ??? ne?t m<>T>n2 tUa.t ticket drew $100,000, bml the houso failed. . A nwn bought a whole ticker, whicti ho kept for S?veraJ toyVbut the dav before the draw? ing he mot the mau who had sold it to hun anti regaeeted him to give him another ?fer it, aa he ihdnot faucy the number. The vender l?oo ooo' 'aad the ^ticket a'r?W -A gentleman of raj acquaintance bought a wuole ticket, which he camel in his pockfet ?ree rW^l and ?Chanjpd three-fotirttis ol :t wttu some ofhi* frieiiu* fer Other^umbers. That ticket thew $100.000. / drBamLStSUW ,St?ries ^ tobi ofjcrfple ureami?ftKof ccrlain numbers ansWi^M.? but the dreams never camertr??-^/J 1 ' The net amount derived last veaTffOt*./ source was $2,739,288; on the whole. tbj#T tery may be regarded as ono of the woivSn^'-'Z of raising revenue. The teadoncv is dcm o3?s izing, and is particularly injurious to th" groes, Lbmo8e, am other poor ptODle. ?iv an w easy calculation it will bc found that the bold? er of a ticket, or fraction of one, bas but one chauce in thirty-five of gaining anything. It is true that by this means a few are made inde? pendent, but many poor persona speud all their earning in vain, and aro kept in penury by pay? ing constantly for thebare possibility of gam? ine fortunes. The existenco of tho lottery is, no doubt, one great cause of the squalid poverty BO common m Havana. BOILS-"A COMPOSITION." A boil ia generally very Bmali at first, and a fellow hardly notices it, but in a few days it gets to be the biggest of the two. and tho chap that has it is of very little account in compari? son with his boil, which then :'has him." Boils appear mysteriously upon various portions of tho human body, coming when and wboro "they daru please,'' and oiten in very incon? venient placo?. Sometimos a solitary boil i3 the sum total of the'afnictiou, but frequently there is a "rubishin' lot of em" to hcip the firet. one. If a boil comes anywhere on a person that person always- wishes it h?id como somewhere else, although it would puzzle bim to tay just where. ' . . Some persons call'them "Damboils," but such persons aro addicted to profan?v-thc proper name is boil. If a chap has a boil he generally pois a good deal of sympathy from others-"in a horn." Whoever asks him what ails him, laughs at him for his pains to answer, while many unfeeling persons maleo game of him, or of his misfortune, or boi'. It ia very wicked to rnako sport of persons with boils; thv/j" oanuot help it, aud often feel very badly about it. Physicians don'c give boi? patients much satisfaction as a general thing, oj though yoting physicians who are jost beginning to practice aro fond of tryiug their lancets ou them. Boils arc said t? bo "healthy," and, judging from the way they tpl-c hold and har g on, and ache, and burn, and grow, and raise Cain generally, there is no doubtthat they are healthy aad have good constitutions. They are generally very lively and playful at night, and it is very funny to eoe a chap with a good large one prospecting arouud his couch for a place where his boH will fit in "without hurt? ing." Boils tend to "purify the blood," strengthen the system, calm the nerves, re? strain thaprof?mty.tranquillize tho spirits, im provi the temper, andbeautify the appearance. They oro'good things for married men who spend their evenings away from home, as they give them au opportunity lo rest their night koys^nd get acquainted with theirfam'Ues. It is.said tint boils save thc patient "a flt of sick ness,"but if the sickness is not tho best to have, it must be an all-fired mean thing. It is also said that a person is better after he has had them, and there is no doubt that one doos feel much better after having got rid of them. Many distinguished persons have enjoyed these harbingers of health. Job took the "first pre? mium at the County Fair for having more achers under cultivation than any other person. Shakespeare had (hem, and meant boils when iie said, ''One" woe doth tread upon another's bee], so f*6t tbev follow." There are a great many remedies for boils; most of which aro well worth tryiug, because, if they don't do any good, they don't hurt the boils. If a chap goes dova street with a boil, ovc-ry.iuan he ntestawill tell bim of "a good thing" ?Ci" it, among which are-Shocmakcr's wacks, Mrs. Winslow's Sirup, Tris, Spalding's GIuo, Charlotte Russo, Gum Drops, Wat or Proof Blacking, Ni.'ht Blooming Cereus, Chlo? roform, Kisscitgen, &c, &c. THE I ND. TUE NEW BREECH-LOADER. The work at the armory, in relation to tho manufacture ofiho uew breech-loading mus l?et, is advancing in a very gratifying manner. This is moro especially observable in the rapid literation of thc tools and machinery for the ?onversion of the old muzzle-loading musket into a breech-loading ann, according to an improved plan. This plan was adopted by Secretary Stanton and General Grant, upon the recommendation of a board of experienced sincere, which was convened carly in- tho pre? sent year in the City of Washington. Tho ad? vantages, which we believe will result from meir action, may be briefly stated as follows : First. Tho form of thc breech-block has jeen so altered as to secure additional strength, and ai the fame time, less weicht. Second. The* c?.?n latch has boen widened, hereby more effectually protecting tho spring, iud preventing it from becoming foul. Third. All the nuts and screws, which were iablo to become loosened, andaometitnes lost, iave either been abolished or replaced by ivets. Fourth. Tho weight of tho piece has been 'ery materially reduced by cutting off four aches o? the.-barrel; the stock aud rammer bc- j ?g correspondingly shortened.* ' Fifth. A sliding sight, graduated from ono ' inndred to one thousand yards, has been sub titutod for the sight formerly used, and great- : r accuracy of aim has boen found to be thus ' ttained. . \: Sixth. Tho "Ltvmson Extrader"1 has been dopted, which the Board of Examination, above ?entioned. when contrasting it with old >rms, characterized as "simpler, cheaper aud tronger." v i It is not necessary to enter iuto ?further dc- i iii. No OP" can visit tho armory and carc illy examino their new arm, without coming > the conclusion that it is "ono of the best . ?ap?ed to the use of the troops in our service. ; he alterations which have been made have " sen demanded by tho want? of the army, as ? ractically exemplified from lime to time; and, ?
