‘Brief Stents. VA RIETY, THE 8PICE OP LIFE. ’ *• I come for that saw, sir.” “ What saucer T" 44 Why, the saw, sir, you bor rowed ?' “ I borrowed no saucer, ” “ Sure you did, sir—you borrowed our saw, sir.” “ Be off, boy, I never dream ed of borrowing a saucer.” “ Be dad but you did, and there it stands right in the comer.” “Oh! it’s your father’s saw you mean—why the deuce didn’t you say ho ?” A most interesting sight to see is that of a young lady with “lips like rubies,” and with *‘ teeth of pearly whiteness,” and with cheeks that have stolen the “ deep carnation of the deathless rose, with her mouth full of gingerbread! “Wiit don’t you hold your head as I dor” said an aristocratic lawyer to a sterling old farmer. ” Squire,” was the reply, “ look at that field of grain. You see that all the valuable heads are bowed down, while those heads that have nothing in them stand upright.” Mf.n doat on this world as t'itough it were never to have an end—neglect the other, as if it were never to have a be ginning. __ Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in lising every time we fall. Brave actions are the substance of life,and good sayings the ornament of if. Modesty is a very handsome dish- cover that makes us fancy there must be something very good beneath it. Those who put off repentand till .another day have a day more to repent of, nnd a day less to repent in. The noblest remedy for injuries is oblivion. Light injuries are made lighter by not regarding them. Keep a low sail at the commencement •of life; you may rise with honor, but you cannot recede without shame. Good breeding i* a guard upon the •tongue*; the misfortune is, that we put it •on and off like our fine clothes, and our visiting faces, and do not wear it, where it is most needed, at home. WAR AND LOVE. War and lov4, are strange comrt-es, War sheds blood, and love sheds tears; War has spears, a^d love hns darts. War breaks heads, and love breaks hearts, Advice to the Girls.—Dr. Beeswax, in his admirable. “ Essays on Domestic Economy” talks tc youug ladies after this fashion: ‘Girls, do you w’ant to get married—and do you want good hus bands ? If so, cease to act like fools Don’t take a pride in saying you never did house-work—never cooked a pair of chickens—never made a bed, or so on. Don’t turn up your pretty noses at honest industry—never tell your friends that you are not obliged to work. When you go shopping never take your mother with you to carry the bundle. Don’t be afraid to be seen in the kitchen cooking steak. A Dutchman being called upon for a toast, said: 4 Here Isb to the heroes who fit, bled and died mit de war of Pu.i- Hill—of whom I am one.

With it are alike forged the sword of conten tion, and the plowshare of peaceful ngii- culture, the press of the free, and the shackle of the slave. The eloquence of the forum has moved the armies of Greece and Rome to a thousand battle fields, but the eloquence of the ham mer has covered those fields with victo ry or defeat. The inspiration of song has kindled up bright hopes and noble aspirations in the bosom of the warrior, but the hammer has strewn the field, de cided not only the fatejof chivalrie com bat, but the fate of thrones, crowns and kingdoms.

Forty-one first class three story resi dences, and a hundred smaller classed houses, are in progress of erection in Washington City. Men’s happiness springs mainly from moderate troubles, which afford the mind a healthful stimulus, and are fol lowed by a re-action which produces a cheerful flow of spirits.

It is stated in one of our exchanges that during the present year, there will probably be raised a grape crop suffi cient to make 600,000 gallons of Cataw ba wine. The demand for the article far exceeds the product. The Liverpool Times has an article expressing the hope that, if a war be tween Spain and the United States ari ses out of Cuba. England will not take sides with either. It says that such is the universal sentiment of England— even of the aristocracy—and that its sympbathies, in such a contesi,would be with the United States.

As an internal and external remedy it is truly a source of JOY TO THE WORLD. One positive proof of its efficacy is, that the sales hnve constantly increased, and wholly upon its own merits, ns the proprie tors have not resorted to advertising to gain for it the rank it now holds among the great number of preparations of the present time. The effect of the Pain Killer upon the pa tient, when taken internally in cases of Colds, Cough, Bowel Complaints, Cholera, Dyssentcry and other affections of the sys tem, has been truly wonderful, and has won for it a name among medicinal preparations that can never be forgotten. Its success in removing pain, as an external remedy, in cases of burns, bruises, sores, sprains, cuts, sting of insects and other causes of suffering, has secured for it such a host of testimony, as an almost infallible remedy, that it will be banded down to posterity as one of the greatest medical discoveries of the nine teenth century. The magical effects of the Pain Killer when taken or used according to directions, are certain. You have only to be sure that you buy the genuine article and adhere to the directions in its use, and you trill admit its wonderful raediciual proper ties. The genuine Perry Davis’ Pain Killer is now put. up in panel bottles, with the words Davis’Vegetable Pain Killer blown in the glass; and with two steel engraved labels on each bottle—one an excellent likeness of Perry Davis, the Original inveutor of the medicine, the other a steel engraved note of hand—none others can be relied upon as ge nuine.
