SELF-RE PROACH. nmKiw, c mta ini, t. xkii. Ah! stubborn heart of mine, that hears, Vet, like Jerusalem, will not heed ; That will not melt, that hath no tears, No lore for bim who came to bleed, To die, In fearful agonies, Thy sins tQ cure, tby hurts to heal ; Ah 1 Christ, give ear unto my cries, Teach me to lore to fear to* feel!, Gather me ’neatb tby folding wings l— Thou know’st my guilt; the fearful guilt That lies upon my soul, and clings, In spite of all the blood thou'st spilt I Send down thy messenger of grace, And touch this stony heart of mine, That I may look and see thy face, And send my lore in hope of thine. Tby help, 0! Sarior, in the strife; The will is weak, the flesh is strong, Prevailing hourly 'gainst the life, And teaching stiii the love for wrong; The world, with all its fearful powers Of pride and passion, sways the heart; And inunt prevail, in heedless hours’ Unless /houtak’st the sinner’s part. Too weak, himself, lo brave the foe; To conquer in the strife which makes, His very virtues give the blow,— His weakness still when Passion shakes Oh ! help, with arm outstretched to save Oh ! give the needful strength for strife! That be may boldly stvnd and brave Tne foe, and save the Eternal Life! Spinning Woman.—Among ourj Complimentary .-An exchange com- forefatliers, it was a maxim that a young! pliments a contributor as follows : wornnii should never marry until she] “Old Kontuck” says, “some folks had spun enough linen to furnish her | think I was born a poet; 1 send you the house : and from this enstom all unmar- enclosed verses, and should like your ried women were called “Spinsters.” opin ion.” Well, “Old Kentuck,” to speak honestly, we think you were born a fool instead of a poet There is not much difference between the two, it is true, but what little there is, is against you. . his Be Gentle to thy Wile. Be gentle! though perchance that lip May speak a murmuring tone, The heart may beatjwith kiulneis yet, And joy to be tbino own. Bcge:itle! weary hours of pain ’Tis woman’s lot to bear; Then yield her what support thoucanst, And all her sorrows share. Be gentle ! for the noblest hearts At times may have some grief, And even iu a pettish world, May seek to find relief. Be gentle ! for unkindeess now May rouse an augry storm. That all the after years of life In vaiu mar strive to calm. Be gentle! none are perfect— Thou’rt dearer far than life. Then, husband, bear and still forbear— Be gentle to thy wife. A country individual who was caught in the water-wheel of a saw mill, says he intends to apply for a pension, as he is a survivor of the Revolution, People should understand that it is cheaper, and in every respect much bet ter, to look up neglected children, and to educate them than to hang them when older. Good Retort.—John Randolph met a personal enemy in tbe street one day, who refused to give him half the sidewalk, saying that he never turned out for a rascal. “ I do,” said Randolph, stepping aside, and politely raising his hat,—“ pass on, sir—pass on 1” “ Grandma,” said an urchin to his grand mother who was near eighty years of age, “Grandma, at what age do todies lose their relish for gallantry ? “ Ah, me, my dear,” said the good old soul, “ I do not know ; you must ask some one older than I am.” ’Brief Stems. * VARIETY, THE SPICE OF LIFE." *A man can’t help what is done be hind his back,’ as the loafer said when ‘he was kicked out of doors. When is a woman not a woman ? When • she is a little cross. Query.—If a magazine contains a number of tales, say four, could you call it a four story magazine. The report that an old tody, in her anxiety to hear a courting scene, run her '• head through the key hole is not contra dicted. The climax of superfluous politeness ' has been declared to be holding an um brella over a duck in the rain. , Tommy, how’s all your folks ? All wellbut Growler—he’s got the bow-wow 'd complaint. The man who was ‘behind the times,’ proposes to get around in front. Birds.—Birds are the poor man’s music, and flowers the poor man's poet T y- • An exchange says that the tost thing a man does is to repent. This is a mis take—the last thing done is to pay a printer’s bill. The gentleman who rose to a ‘pint of order’ compromised matters by taking a quart of beer. Teetotalism has its extravagances like everything else, and the head may be turned by water as effectually, if not so rapidly, as bjhvhisky. We have lately heard of a sad instance of aberration in a teetotal intellect; the result of which was, that the unfortunate victim threw away a Macintosh wrapper because it was water proof. 0»N —‘Why is n bow-legged man like n holiday down South ?

Frank.—An old count paid his ad dresses to one of the richest heiresses of Paris. On asking her hand in marri age, he frankly said to her: “ Miss B , I am very old, and you are very young; will you do me the honor to be come my widow ? ’ A minister having preached a sermon as was his custom, some hours after asked a gentleman his opinion of it; he replied that, “ Twas, good, but that it had spo led a good dtouer worth two of it.” •No man can do anything against his will, said a metaphysician. “Faith,” said Pat, “I had a brother who went to Bottany Bay against his will, faith and he did.” A clergyman in a New Hampshire pul pit, having, with earnest eloquence, urg ed his congregation to abstain,on Thanks giving Day, from all labor and all busi- nes pursuits, and attend church in the forenoon, concluded with this touching appeal: “If any of the brethren are at leisure in the afternoon, I should be pleased to see them at my house, as I intend to take that opportunity, should friends enough assemble, to move my bam!” One of the greatest luxuries of life is to pay a bill; and yet there are some people we know of who never indulge in tbe thing at all. Let such turn square round and enjoy the luxury. The first electric telegraph was a woman’s heart. Ever since;the days of Adam, she has extended her influence from pole to pole. Men have been forc ed to allow her all degrees of latitude, and for longitude, females must even speak for themselves, as chronometers vary. In ancient days the celebrated precept was “Know thyselfin modern times lit has been supplanted by the far more ‘fashionable maxim, “Knor. tby neigh bor, and everything about him.” Strange Bulbous Root.—A poor gardener, on being asked what felicity meant, said he did not know, but he be- ie red it was a bulbous root 1 A man’s wedding day is called “bridal day.” Someone says it ought to be written bridle. “ I see you are in black,” 6aid a friend of ours, the other day. Are you in mourning for a friend Thomas V’ “No ? I am in mourning for my sins.” “ I never heard that you had lost any,” was the instant and keen reply. A gentleman employed an Irishman to trim a few fruit trees. Pat went out in the morning, and on returning at noon was asked whether he had completed his work. No, was his reply—but he. had cut them all down, and was going to trim in the afternoon! An Irishman who was near-sighted, and about to fight a duel, insisted that he should stand six paces nearer to bis antagonist than the totter to bim, and they were both to fire at the same time. This' beats Sherida’ns telling a fat man who wa9 going to fight a thin one, that the latter’s slim figure ought to be chalk ed on the other’s portly person: and if the bullet hit him outside of the line, it was to go for nothing. ‘ Sal,’ said one girl o another, ‘I am so glad I have no beau, now, ’Why sol’ asked tbe other. ‘ Ob, cause I can eat as many onions as I pleas.’ New Firm and New Goods.

Corner of Broad street and College Av. one door east ofPeterson’s bookstore. Dec 22,1864- A truly great man borrows no lustre from splendid ancestry; A badjwound heals; a bad name kills. A bad workman quarrels with his tools. A few books well chosen are of more use than a great library. A bitter jest is the poison of friend ship. Avarice generally miscalcntotes. and as generally deceives. Abundance is a trouble, but competen cy brings delight. A man had better be poisoned in his blood than in his principles. A careless watch invites a vigilant foe. A virtuous mind in a fair body is like a fine picture in a good light. * I don’t like to patronize this line,’ said a culprit to a hangman.' * Oh! never mind this once,’ was the reply, ‘ it will suspend its operations.’ W.

Her huibund observed. “I always thought you were born on the first of April.” “Veople might judge .«o,” responded the matron, “in the choice i made of a hus band.” A man named Tortevoix, being late ly placed on his trial at Tours for rob bery, a witness against him proved that he had pun bused part of the stolen pro perty, but said he hud taken care to pay for in it counterfeit coin,‘not to encourage dishonesty,’ An inquisitive priest having asked a young female her name, while in the confessional, she replied, with as much wit as modesty, “Father, my name is not a fiin.’ Weep for love, but not for auger; a •cold rain will uever bring flowers.

The Citizens of the Union suffer mncli from disorders of the Liver and Stomach, scarcely any are free from the influence of these des tructive maladies, hence life wears fast. The fair sex, perhaps the handsomest in the world, up to a certain period when, distros-s in* to say, many lose their teeth and good looks, while yet in the heyday of life. Such aad evils may be effectually remedied by con tinually keeping the blood pare, and the Liv- er and stomach in a healthy action,when life will flow smoothly, and resemble plants in a congenial clime, where an eternal spring ap pears to reign. As it regards the preserva tion of the human frame, and the duration of life, much may be effected, and I say fear lessly, that health and life can be prolonged for many years beyond their ordinary limits,• if Holloway’s Pills are taken to purify the blood according to tho rules laid down for health contained in the directions which ac company each box.
