Comrades of the silent land, Wakeless sleepers of the tomb, Swell the pale and ghostly bund Gathered in the midnight gloom ; Darkness rules the middle world. Sleep is on the sons of light; Life hath not a sail unfurled ’Mid the shadows of the night t Only we, the wept and lost; Only we, the sons of death ; Only we, the sleeping host; Only we, who draw no breath ; We the slimy and the cold ; We the ghastly and the dread; We, whom enTth nor air can hold; Only we the night winds tread. Como from every wearied clime, Sprung from every wearied rnco, Living un through endless time, Knowing naught of ill to face ; Wlmt care we f,»r war and storm, Suffering, agony and woe? What hoed wo the cares that swarm Round the haughty or the low? Honored ’mid the waking hours, Moaned with tear and groan nnd sigh ; Housed in mansions wreathed with flowers; Crowned with virtues till a lie; However black the life before, Sacred now revered by all ; Who would by the shadowy shore ? Who would answer life’s recall ? Glory to the ghostly land ! Giory to the pulseless state Gloty to the midnight band Aimed against the blade of fate I Earth, and air, and fire, and light, All are slaves, while we are free; Lift your voices on the night, They shall cross the widest seal To Destroy Ants. —Get a large sponge, wash it clean, and sprinkle it over with powdered sugar, and lay it where most of the ants congregate—they will soon fill every cell, and it will to litem be a sell, too, for you have only to dip your sponge in hot water, to slay them by the' L undreds. There were twelve assassins in the plot to assassinate the Czar of Russia — Each placed himself in a sclented spot for the attempt. A yellow girl in Lynchburg, Va., has three times tried to kill herself. She is madly, hopelessly in love. Judge Abell, of New Orleans, holds that nearly all of Gen. Sheridan’s acts nre unconstitutional. Quite likely ; Sher idan ca;cs about as much for the Consti tution as a mule does for Wulilbask’s last novel. P.ow complained of a bad smell about the post office, and asked Browning what it could be. Browning didn’t know but suggested that it might be caused by the “dead letters.’’ In Illinois the osngc hedge is planted, cultivated and warranted for one year at thirty cents a rod. In two years it will keep out all stocks, and it is said to last 500 years. The Nashville Union says: “Ten car loads of slate, for roofing, from Carters*. ville, Georgia, have passed Northward through this city within the past few days. A young Indy at a temperance meets irgsnid: “Brethren and sisters—Ci der is ft necessity to me and I must have it. If it is decided that wc are not to drink cider, I shall eat apples and get some fine young man to squeeze me : for I tell you that 1 can’t live without that delightful nectar, the juice of the apple !” Some deaf and dumb children in Jack sonville, Illinois, we’ e asked the meani ing of eternity. One wrote on his slate, “It is the lifestime of the Almighty,” and another only made a circle. These are beautiful thoughts. God's life-time is eternity, because it is without beginning or end. Bedbugs, ncording to a lady corres pondent, have a great aversion to salt.— She states that if tbe articles and places infested with bedbugs are washed with salt water, and the crevicOs in which the vermin hide arc filled with it they will give no more trouble. An unwashed stioct boy being asked what made him so dirty, his reply wa* : “I was made, as they tell me, of the dust ol the ground, and I reckon it is just now working out.” Poisoned.—A youth, James, son of Dr. William Anderson, who lives near Villula, while fishing last Saturday, was bitten by a moccasin. From the effect of the wound inflicted, he died Monday Morning. Ills age was about fifteen years. Dr. Anderson was formerly of Cass county, in this State. Boys cannot be too careful in looking out for snakes, whose poison at this time is so fatal.— They are no respecter of persons.— Columbus Sun. A Poisonous Monster Kilted.—Sun day afternoon a citizen of this place, M. V. Raymond, while in the vicinity of Pilot Knob, came across a rattlesnake of the massasogcr species, which he killed with a club. It measured two feet in length, and the enormous size of fourteen inches in circumference. He run on to it unawares, and it came very near end ing his days, then and there. It is one of the mos: poisonous snakes known — the bite of which is sure death, a* no an tidote for its venom has ever been discov ered. It is the first reptile of the kind we have ever heard of in this State.— Leavenworth ( Kansas) Conservative. ~ mtumtivr.yx•yy.+’W+a aywu*“7; rta The Chicago Times is responsible for the following; AYe gite the following instance pr©mi» nence, as'indicating the state of society in the moral town, St. Louis. A crowd had gathered on a corner, and an excited individual, panting with heat, rushed up to the scene, exclaiming: “YVlat’s the matter ? 1 “Only a man killed,” was the reply. “Oh,! is that all? I’ve been running like h—i-l. I thought it was a dog fight.” While this will hardly be comprehen sible to most of the good citizens of Chicago, all those who have visited St. Louis will readily believe it, and recog nize in it a characteristic of a large class of people that inhabit the town. Tight Lacing. —The Dayton (Ohio) correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette tells a story which would be a warning to young Tadics who may believe it. A young lady had been in the habit of lacing very tightly for a long while, and had caused a hook to be placed in the wall of tho room, and she would fsss ten her corset strings to it, to enable her to draw her corsets tighter. She had done it so long with impunity that site grew careless, and the ot her day, in peating tho torture, she throw herself too heavily on the strings, and broke a Mood vessel, from which she died in a few hours. Ben Butler, who is a famous radical, having stolen all the spoons, plate and jewelry in the South that be could lay his dirty paws on, now proposes to steal lands. See his late letter on confiscation. A Massachusetts man has “patented a new vice.” YVc did not suppose one was unknown to that old fanatical, witch burning locality ! It is about time they patentee some “new virtue.’’ The gun which General Beth Pomeroy, of Northampton, used at the battle of Bunker Ilill, is on exhibition in that town. The Richmond, Indiana, Telegram tells of a Wayne county man, who took his family to the circus, not long since, and sold his cooking stove to get mono}’ to buy tickets! The “ fool and Lis money," &c. The people of Central City, Colorado, have subscribed five thousand dollars to bo paid for Indian scalps, “with the ears on,” at the rate of twenty dollars apiece. For the Girls—How to Get a Husband. From an excellent commendation pub lished in the Columbus (Miss.) Index , of June 8, wc copy the following "expressly for the girls:’’ Iking old, aud therefore allowed license for teasing the girls on matrimonial sub jects, I consult them about tl eir future pros', pccts often, and find that the opinion obtains with them that the young nun were nevor bo slow in proposing a3 iu thes* days ; which, we must admit, gives them a good, not to say all powerful reason f.,r not taking a hus band, Now, voung ladies, the whole secret with nine-tenths of you, of not being able to get off your parents’ hands, is simply this: you don’t know how to work. You can’t keep house. You can’t make a pair ot breeches. You can’t tell, for the life of you, the difference between bran or shorts or which cow gives the buttermilk. The young men generally came rut of the war "with tha skiu of their teeth,” with no fortune 1 might say, but their wardrobes of gray and their canteens, and to marry with them now, rest assured, relates more to making a living with the assistance jof a loving, industrials help-mate, that indulging in opera music, moonshine and poverty. Do you know what they s»y of one of your butterfly young la dies who has behl them in the parlor enga ged by the hour listening to ‘‘elegant noth ings !’’ Nineteen time* out of twenty is this—"AVt!!, she is all right for an evening’s entertainment, but she will not m-.ke a good wife I’* There is no possible objection to the ac complishments of music, painting, and the like, ns such, but the idea is to set these par lor amusements aside for the period when the stern duties of married life call for your practical knowledge. Show the voung men that you can do your part of double-business; that you can cook a meal’* victuals on a pinch ; that you can sweep up, anti dust, and darn old stockings, nnd save a penny toward an accumulated pound ; that you will not bo a dead expense to him through life. l?*!ieve me, you g friends, as many true, heroic, wo manly hearts beat over household duties, as flutter beneath the soft light of a parlor chandelier. Your kiss is just as sweet, your smiles just as bright, your heart a* happy and tender, after a day’s exertion in a sphere worthy of true womanhood, as in places of dissipation, frippery and.silly amusement. — Have an ambition to do your part in life cultivate industrial habits, and let the parlor accomplishments go with the higher accom plishments I have roughly enumerated. It is astonishing how soon a domestic young lady is fount! out and appreciated. It is be- I cause she is such a raic ‘exception to (,’ni I general rule. Praying for a Husband. A correspondent of tho Uocliel'e (III.) Pegisfer locates the following near that place. Though the story is considerable older than the correspondent, it is worth reading. A young lady heard that if she would go out and pray three successive nights the Lord would tell her who she should marry. Now, it happened that her father had a young man in bis employ who had considerable w it ami good humor about him. One evening he was out in an apple tree after fruit, when he heard someone praying something liko this: “O, Lord, who will I marry f” Tho idea pop ped into lUyl’s (that being tbs young man’s name) mind that be would have a little sport at her expense. So he spoke in a changed voice, and said. “Doyle." l 'Nc, I. >rd, not Dovle,” cried the astonished young Ldy. ••Yu*, Doyle, or no one," again sounded fiom the tree-top in » sober hollow voice.— She arose and entered the house, resolved to try again the next evening. Os course Doyle did not wish to spoil the fun, and so the next evening found him seated in the lieo top. He did’nt have long !o wait before the young husband-seeker came, and commenced pray ing in the same way that she did the proceed ing evening, and received the tame answet. Tile next evening also found her under tho tree pleading to know her future husband’s name, ami again she heard the nnswer, -Doyle, or no one.” She arose, feeling satis fied that »he must marry Doyle. The next morning sho mot him and asked him why ho Hid not dress up and put on better clothe*. He said ho was not able. “Well,” said she, •■father is rich ar.d will ht you have money.” 11* took that f>r a pretty good hint nnd bought a suit of clothes. In a short time ho „ff red his heart and hand, and was accepted. After their marriage he told her how her prayers were answered. If any of tho fair reader* of this story should think of praying for a husband, do not go under a tree, or if vou do, be sure and examine it closely and see if there is any one to answer it. At the Paris Exhibition thero is a French process for printing without ink. Amending t . the IMiliter’s Register, tho specimen of ex hibiling contains mio hundred and forty-five letter* in seven different kinds types and two colors—-ed nnd black—composed nnd one hundred 6 pies printed all in three minutes. The printing was done in thirty seconds, and the machines appear to bo chiefly intended for cards and bill, letter heado etc. The time expended in the usual inking process is i saved in working of the hand machines. The ! colors are good and well printed. A chem ! icn! paper or other fabric overlie 9 tbe card | or paper to be printed on, and tbe types are I ratvdly stamped upon tbe endless chemical band, which impresses the color on th'e card. Tho band Insts for several days in coustnnt woik, and costs only about three cents. A discovery wa* made at tho Poughkeep sie City llxll recently, which caused consid erable stir.

Truths. — ice stings us even in our pleas ure*. but virtue consoles ns even in our pains.’’ “True goodness is like the glow worm : it shines most when the eyes, except tho3e of Heaven are upon it.” ‘ S If interest is the rule, self-sacrifice the exception,” “Self-conceit is tbo attendant of igno rance.” “Sweet are the tho slumbers of the virtu ous.” ‘Mean men admire wealth, great mon seek true glory.” A young and handsome married woman left Springfield for Hartford the other day with a young man, not her husband. An elderly female, who saw them take the cars, informed the woman’s husband immediately. He went in pursuit, and overtook them at Waterbary, Ct., and found that the gvntles man was his wife’s own brother, »who had happened to call unexpectedly on her just as she was about starting, with her husband’s consent, to visit her friends in Watorbury, and concluded to accompany her. Two spunky Bangor, Me., girlj pretty thoroughly used up an. impudent fellow with brickbats and a sbillelnh the other i dav, who insulted them in the street. VOL., 2 NO 11 What is Happiness ? What is happiness ? A-k the man of the world, whose soul is bound up in the “al mighty dollar,” aud you will learn that it is a brisk budne-.s, with tbe dollars rolling into his coffers faster than hi* wants can roll them out. What is happiness? Ask tbe poor stu dent who is struggling with poverty to obtain education. He will tell you that a few dollars from the rich man’s purse, to enable him to gratify bis thirst for knowledge, would bring him all tbe happiness be would a k of life. What is happiness f Ask tho Rtitbor, and you will learn—authors have weaknees in common with other men-it is to win a crown of literary fame. What is happiness ? Ask the fop as he passes you, flourishing his golden-beaded cane, and lie wilt tell you it is to be garbed in the richest and most fashionable court on tbe promenade, and to attract tbe eye* of the admiring crowd as you pass. D hat i» happiness? Ask the thoughtle** young lady in her dressing room, where she is preparing For a ball, and you will soon .learn it i* to be the belle of the ball room. What is happiness ? Ask the poor widow, as she sits at midnight plying her needle to .earn the common neccesaries of life for her little fatherless children. She will reply : 1 Give mo employment and strength, to en»* ble me to feed, clothe and educate my chil dren, and I will thank God for the blessing* he has showered upon me.” What i* happiness ? Ask the invalid, as he tosses his aching limb* upon his bed, and yon will find that wealth and fame are bul hubbies ; without health, all other blessing* become only blessings in name. What is happiness ? Ask the Christian and he will tell you that true, lasting happi ness is not dependent on riches or fame. It is a heart overflowing with benevolence to ward his fellow beings, and whose own hap piness is bought by adding happiness to those around him. It is a calm trusting faith in God, that enables him when dark clouds of affliction and trial hover over him 1 to fool that the showers they bring with them are needed to revive the drooping gracos of his heart. A wise man onco said :—“These are three things which will surpriso us when we got to Heaven : First, to find many there whom we did not expect. Second, not to find many whom we did expect. Third, the greatest wonder will be to find onrse/lve* there.” An old clergyman who had been an army chaplain, and was teaching a female seminary in the course of conversation said : “I have been under civil government, ecclesiastical government, military government, and coat government —and I like petticoat goT.« eminent the best.” The reasons why a ship L called she : Because man knows not tho expense till he gets them. Because they are useless without employ* ment. Because they look best when well rigged. Because their value depends on their age. Because they are upright when in stays. Ib-cause they bring news from abroad. Because they wear caps and bonnets. Because they are often painted. A French inventor claims that he can manufacture a fire, of which he says T I can at a distance of one thousand me* tree, envelope an army of 100,000 men in ft sea of flame within less than five minutes.— If a town has to be taken by assault, I have no need of a Eotopshire, as 1 can set it on fire in very nearly tbo same period In rv naval battle I would run into tbe enemy, nnd in fifteen sections cover all the deck of the vessel with a torrent of a flame which would burn the rigging, penetrate between the decks, and instantaneously stifle all the crew. In an attack on a seaport, I could burn the town and arsenaD within range with the ra pidity of lightning. —a ♦- am How it was Done. —The Washington Constitutional Union of Wednesday sa^: “Two thousand (2,000) negroes who voted at the election in the city of Washington yesterday left for their homes in Virginia last night. By actual count, we understand that quite this largo number of black men passed over the Long Bridge during tba night, and up to daylight this morning. It is understood that the entire number voted, and of course all fraudulent votes. Is it not a burning shame that such a glaring wiong is permitted. ■ 9** A fellow was told at a tailor’s shop that three yards of cloth, by being wet, would shrink one quarter of a yard.— “Well, then,’’ he inquired, “if you should wet a quarter of a yard, would there be any left ■’ Why is a dog’s tail like an o’d man ?
