POETIC Alj. THE POPULAR CREED. Dimes and dollars, dollars and dimes! An empty pocket’s the worst of crimes! If a man’s down give him a thrust— Trample the beggar into the dust! Presumptious poverty's quite appalling— Knock him over! Kick him for falling! If a man’s up, oh, lift him up higher! Your soul’s for sale, and he’s the buyer ! Dimes and dollars, dollars and dimes! An empty pocket’s tlie worst of crimes! I know a poor but worthy youth, Whose hopes arc built on a maiden’s truth ; •Rut a maiden will break her vow with case, \Vhen a wooer conicth whose claims are these -A hollow 'heart and an empty head, A face well tinged with brandy red, •A soul well trained in villainy’s school— And cash, sweet cash—he knows the rule— Dimes and dollars, dollars and dimes! An empty pocket’s the worst of crimes! I know a bold and honest man, Who strives to live ou the Christian’s plan ; Rut poor ho is, and poor will he, A scorned, a hated wretch is he. At Iranic lie rneeteth a loving wife, Abroad he leadeth an upright life— They struggle against featful odds 'Who will not bow to the people’s gods— Dimes and dollars, dollars and dimes! An empty pocket’s the worst of crimes! So get ye wealth, no matter how! “No questions asked’’ of the rich, I trow! Steal by night and steal by day, (Doing it ail iu a legal way,) Join the church and never forsake her, Learn to cant and insult your maker. Be hypocrite, liar, knave, and fool, But don’t be poor—remember the rule: Dimes and dollars, dollars and dimes ! An empty pocket’s the worst of crimes! LA U G H O GIIA M S. “Owing to the death of the editor there won't be any Leader Tuesday,” says a Wisconsin werkly, “ but look out for an old ripper on Wednesday.” One profession, says Punch, is safe from the invasion of woman. She may enter the army, but it is impossible that she can man the navy. The latest instance afforded by a fond mother of her son's cleverness, is said son’s correcting her for saying he was all over dirt. He said the dirt was all over him. The editor of a Kankakee paper thinks fishing, as a general rule, don’t pay. “We stood it all day in tire river last week,” he says, “but caught nothing— until we got home.” Someone tells a story of a steamboat passenger watching the revolving light of a light-house on the coast, and ex claiming, “ Gosh! the wind blows that light out as fast as the man can strike it!” A sentimental editor says, “It is com forting to know that one eye watches fondly for our coming, and looks blight er when we come.” A cotemporary is grieved to learn that his brother of the quill has a wife with but one eye. Several passengers on the Lower Mis sissippi were attracted by the alligators basking in the sunshine, “Are they am phibious, Captain?” asked a looker-on. “Amphibious, h—ll,” answered the en thusiastic officer, “they’ll eat a hog a minute.” Two men disputing about the word ‘either”—one saying it was ras-ther, the other x-ther—agreed to refer the matter to the first person they met, who hap pened to be an Irishman, and confounded both by saying, “it’s nayther, for it’s ay ther.” “How on earth do you manage?” in quired a gentleman of two inseparable loungers. “You are always together, you never do anything, and .you always have a plenty of money.” “Simplest thing in the world, my dear fellow,” Avas the candid reply. “We borrow of one another.” A farmer and his wife called at a Pe troit photograph gallery last week to have some photographs taken other, and Avliile the operator was getting ready the husband gave the wife a little advice as to hoAV she should act: “Fasten your mind oil something,” he said, “or else y r ou Avill laugh and spile the job. Think about early days—how your father got in jail, and your mother Avas an old scol der, and what had you’d been if I hadn’t pitied you! Jest fasten your mind on that!” She did not have any photo graph's taken. A fund mother in Norwich gave her five-year old an outfit of fishing tackle, Soon she heard a shout from W illie, and running out, found one of her best hens fast -winding up the line in her crop, whither the hook had already preceded it. W'illie, observing the troubled look of his mother, quietly rernt,,had : “Don't, worry, mother; I guess shc-’ll stop when she gets to the pole.” The editor of the St. Joe Gazette, having heard that sulphur in the socks will prevent cholera, has worked a stick of brimstone out of the new druggist, and now wants someone to lorn him a pair of socks while lie tries the thing. A, Pennsylvania preacher returned thanks, lately, for the prosperous condi tion of the crops, but carefully put in— “ Excepting, O, Lord, tlie corn, which is backward, and the oats, which are mighty thin in spots.” Washerwoman —to small boy, who has brought a very dilapidated shirt—“ Tell yer mother if she sends this’ere again, I shall wash it in two.” Small boy—equal to the occasion— “Very sorry, mum, I’m sure; but I don’t think mother would mind if you washed it into a half dozen.” “O, ma!” said a little girl who had been to the zoological garden, “I’veseen the elephant, and lie walks backwards and eats with his tail. A EATAL BUTTERFLY. In this city there is a physician who has won considerable fame from the suc cessful cures he has made both in medi cine and surgery. For some years past, the doctor says, whenever one of his pa tients dies, no matter where he is, svhat time, day or night, a small white butter fly comes directly to him, and flits about until it has attracted his notice, when it departs. The moment the doctor sees the little winged messenger of death he is at once made aware of the demise of his patient ; and if at night the notice comes to him he invariably remains in his office in the morning in order to give a certificate of death. The first time the doctor ever saw this butterfly was a few years ago, while he was looking at the body of a dead child which was very dear to him ; and the but terfly alighted on the breast of the child and there remained slowly raising its wings up and down until the body was closed up in its little coffin. A few even ings since, while the doctor was attend ing a patient in Clark place, the butterfly entered the window and commenced flit ting about the doctor’s head. He looked up at it, and one of the ladies in the room, thinking it annoyed him, said, “Oh, leave it alone; it will soon burn its wings by the blaze of the gas.” “No, it won’t," replied the doctor. “It has come on a mission and will soon disappear. I have just lost a pa tient, and in the evening I shall be call ed upon for a certificate of death.” Sure enough the next morning the father of the child that had died the night before called on the doctor and notified him of the loss of his little one. This is only one of the many instances where the doc tor has received this strange visitation and kept a record of the circumstances, besides that of calling the attention of those present to the fact of the butterfly warning of death among his patients. [Jersey City Joxu’ual. WHEAT AND PHYSICAL VIGOE. Nothing is more sure in the chemistry of life than that the great bread-eaters are the great thinkers, or that t-lic phos phorous which wheat contains in the outer kernel, immediately beneath the husk, is the feeder of brains, and the material substance AA'liieh provokes to thought, study, reason, and all the forms of nervous energy. There are physiolo gists who attribute the remarkable suc cess of States like Ohio, Indiana, and Il linois to the bounty and perfection of the wheat crop, and the intellectual stim ulus, or rather food, which it affords the brain. Certainly, no commonwealth in the world has evinced a higher sense of laAV and order, or more rapidly devel oped a social system Avhich has hardly an equal in the world. The constitution of Indiana, for instance, the very centre of the wheat zone, is, beyond comparison, the best in the Union, and produces the highest results in our civilization. There is a southern wheat belt, which includes Australia, in part of South America, where a civilization equal to that of the United States is growing up. But the full value of wheat as a civil izer Avill never be fully realized until wheat-meal takes the place of bolted flour, and the people learn to make bread without yeast or risings. Good bread is emphatically the “staff of life,” but the commercial article is the Avay to dyspepsia and premature death. [Science of Health. A SCARED BOY. The Lewiston Journal say s that a pro fessional man who hail long been pester ed with candy boys, introduced one to an inner room where there was amount ed skeleton, saying that a fellow with a sweet tooth was in the next room. Tlie young peddler entering, Ids eye caught the tall skeleton and tlie grinning skull, aud with terror-stricken countenance he dropped his candy-disli and stock of trade entire, and ran out of doors as fast as pallid fear and legs would carry him. The professional gentleman, fearing he had carried the joke too far, with pity in his heart, picked up the poor lad’s Candy, and—himself a tall, lank person — ran to the sidewalk with it, crying out, “ Come back, boy; there's nothing he- e to hurt you.” “ Y r e don’t come that on me,” replied the boy; “I know ye, ef ye have got clothes on!" The poet Longfellow, on one occasion, was at a dinnnr party, at w hich Nicholas Longworth was also present. Someone remarked to Mr. Longfellow that his name and Mr. Longworth’s commenced alike, but made a dissimilar ending. “Yes,” replied the poet; “and it affords only another proof, I am afraid, that worth makes the man, the want of it the fellow.” ‘ I love my pips,” said a clergyman, but despise myself for using it,’,. Our sentiments exactly especially the loving part. PUNCTUALITY. John Quincy Adams was noted for his habit of punctuality. Every duty was performed promptly, at its proper time. On one occasion, when the representa tives were assembling in the capitol, the clock struck twelve, the hour for busi ness. One of the members said to the Speaker, “It is time to call this House to order.” “No,” said the Speaker, “Mr. Adams is not yet in his seat.” The next moment Mr. Adams entered, and the House was called to order. ■ .■■ —, >— A lady returning from an unprofitable visit to church declared that “when she saw the shawls of those Smiths, and then thought of the things her own poor girls had to wear, if it wasn’t for the consola tion of religion she didn't know what she should do.” A Des Moines merchant offered Mrs. Barrett a pair of shoes if she would kiss him, and she went out, borrowed a re volver, and lodged a bullet in his nose. He hasn’t any more shoes to give away now. * - e— . “Why do you not hold up your head as I do ?” asked an aristocratic lawyer of a laboring farmer. “ Squire,” replied the farmer, “look at that field of grain. All the valuable heads hang dov.li like mine, while those that have nothing in them stand upright, like yours.” . ——r: --p ■ + ——- Dorn’s gold mine has been leased from its owner, Cyras 11. McCormick, of Chi cago, by Messrs. Perrin & Cothran, of Abbeville, who intend commencing oper ations at an early day. They will work the mine on a scientific plan. Punch has a pathetic picture of a cou ple on a calling trip. As they wait at the door where they have rung the bell, Augustus is thus cautioned: “Augustus, love, let me beg of you, do not give way to any insane demonstrations of delight before the servant, if she says they’re not tit home.” M| PLIPIIPM wl lar k* The recent test of Fire*Proof by the English Government provffif the superiority of Alum Filling. fco other Safes filled with Alum and Plaster-of-Paris.
