Rockdale Register. The Days When We Were Young. Ifbw happy, in the days of youth, Holl'd every hour away j .... When our hearts wore light ami tacos ought And all the world wan gny— When every cord within each breast To love and joy wan strurg ; Oh, all was hope and happiness In the daya when w* were young. And sweet the flowers that deck’d our path ; All Nature's face looked fair; Where'er abroad the wjrld we trod, What lovely things were there, While o’er each view the gorgeous hue fair fancy ever flung; Oh, that was bright and beautiful in the dAys when we were young. Then friendship, sweoter far than all, We thought could never decay, Not friend* beloved, who faithful proved, Would ever pass away, Tluslt voice was music to otir oars. Upon their smiles we hung ; Oh ! all flu- love and tender ties Of the days when we were young. 0 But years rolled on, and ah, how Boon Our brow by grief wee shaded; Eich vision bright fled from our sight. And in the distance faded : To teach us what our hearts have loarnod By disappointment wrung— Life's joys decay and pass away Like the days when wo were young. Mnrrlnßfl Among the MeathcMl* Jqshua <1 id well to warn the Israelites against Hitcrmarrying with the Canaan, ites. Social and family ties are stronger than chains of iron or hooks of steel. A gay, ambitious, godless woman is a poor helpmate for a Christian man ; and a wordlv, sordid man, a miserable life companion for a woman who would be faithful to Christ t and when we think of the children, the evils are immensely intensified. It usually comes to pass that the house is divided against itself, or, wlmt is little better, the young peo ple are left to utter moral and religious neglect, or turned squarely over to the tender mercies of worldliness and folly. A good wife, we read, is from the Lord, and by parity ot reasoning, we suppose good husbands are derived from the same source. Hence, the young people should he taught that this matter of life long alliances should he (like all weighty affairs) prayerfully committed to God, in earnest seeking of his guidance and blessing. We believe it was a crusty old bachelor preacher, who, in expound ing a certain passage of Scripture, de livered himself in this wise: “ Now, you see. brethreu. that one woman can pull a man farther away from the King dom of Heaven than ten steers.” On the other hand, one earnest, devoted, af fectionnte woman can do more in the household for the Kingdom ot our Lord than all other .influences combined.— [Southern Presbyterian. .. . ♦ ♦ ■ ■ Lobbyists and tlielr “ Fees.” The meanest of all human pursuits is that of the professional lobbyist. It is even meaner than tin business of the professional juror; for whereas the juror intervenes to turn aside the stream ot pnutic jnsttoe in us coarse, the lobbyist intervenes to poison and prevent the springs at their very 'Suntain. The pro fessional juror is a public harlot; but the professional lobbyist is a public pan deter. He proffers, himself, for money, ns the common “ go-between" for the services of the meanest of vices in o her men. Tito professional lobbyist is becoming a recognized “ institution’ in this coun try. They linng like buzznuls About every Legislative Hull. They fasten themselves like vampire's upon every Legislative body. They teed and fatten upon stagnant blood and festering car rion. By their arrogance and assmup . tiou they deolare their pride in their fil thy pursuit and thus cmnoleto their re Volting degredation. The lobbyist is always sleek, well fed, nud fashionable. Like a public stum pet, be is elegantly “ got up” to fit bis calling, lie studios the speoial wants ond weaknesses ot every “ member" ot legislative bodies. He tans their pride aud Hatters their vanity, lie soothes their wounded ambition, and poultices their itching palms. Only let his com pensation be sufficient, and there is no plan for pubilo plunder that be will not undertake, no schemes of rottenness that he will not engineer. Impudence, arro gance, and avarice are the trinity to which the lobbyist Days all his devotions. They demand privileges not accorded to honest men. They assume authority and influence unknown to those in official place. They require “ fees" such as the most distingifshed ot honorable coun selors would blush to receive.—[Cincin- nati Star.

The following superstitions handed down by tradition from the past, are fervently believed in, in many parts of this country, and by peo ple who rank the most intelligent: Whoevor reads epitaphs loses his moino ry. Yarn spun by a girl under the age of seven years possesses extraordinary virtues. Linen made of it furnishes the best bandages for gouty patients, and whenrought into garments forms a complete coat of mail, not only against bullet or dagger, but even against the more formidable operations of witchcraft.

Tho term refers to a collodion of buildings on one of the seven hills cf Home, which covers the space f 12,000 foot in length and 1,000 foot in breadth, it is built on tho spot once occupied hy tho garden of the cruel Nero. It owes its origin to tho Bishop of Home, wlto, in th > early part of tho sixth century, erected an humble resi dence on its Hite. About the year 1100, Pope Eugenius rebuilt it on a very magnificent scale. Innocent 11., a few years afterward, gave it up as t lodging place to Peter 11., Kirg of Arrngou. In 1305 Clement V., at the instigation of the King of Franco, removed the Papal Soe'from Homo to Avington, when tho Vatican remained iu a condition of obscur ity and neglect for more than seventy years. But soon after the return of the Pontifical Court to Borne, an event which had been so earnestly piayod for by poor Petrarch, and which finally took place in 137(1, tho Vatican was put into a state of repair, again enlarged, rtnd it was thenceforward considered vs the regular palace and residence of the popes, who, one offer the other, added fresh build ings to it, and gradually encircled it with an tiquities, statues, pictures, and books, until it became tho richest depository in tho world. Tho Library of tlfb .Vatican was commenced 1,4000 years ago. It contains 40,000 manu scripts, among which arc some by Pliny, St. Charles Her, mieo, and many Hebrew, Syrian, Arabian, and Armenian Bibles. Tho whole of tho immense buildings composing the Vatican are filled with statues foundjbeneath the ruins of Ancient Rome; with paintings by the mas ters, and with curious medals and antiquities of almost every doscriptiou. When it is known that there has boon exhumed more than 70,'XK) statues from the ruined temples and palaces of Rome, the reader can form some idea of the richness of the Vutiean. — [h isll Ecclesiastical Gazette.

At + he en trance is placed a slight grating of bamboo, and some bait, either of fish or earth worms, is introduced into the interior. The bamboo is then laid at a slight depth iu the mud, and the eeU enter the hollow tube, in which they can scarcely move, and cannot turn themselves and are consequently taken captive. The bamboos are taken up every morning, and the eel, which he.ds on very firmly to the interior, is pulled out by means of a strong hook.
