the dream.
I S Un my chair by the blazing fire,
And dox* away my life,
An I th* laughing flames leap higher and u ghc-r,
As I dream of a iittle wife ;
On my shoulder I feel a pressure sweet.
And arms like the snow—Oh. whiter!
About my neck in a warm clasp meet,
And the flames flash brighter and brighter.
And ringlets of gold pour over my fs.ee,
As my head to her bosom’s pillow
.-h.ks down in a cloud of perfumed lace
That heaves like fount on the billow ;
And 1 hear her warm heart’s quickening beat,
And her eyes Mow bright as Are,
As my lips are covered with kisses sweet,
Ami the flames leap higher and higher.
A soft cheek nestles closo to my own,
And the sweet smiles o’er it chase ;
Like snn-drops on a calm 1 .kta thrown
Her dimples the smiles eff ce;
A lute-like laugh, and her swelling breast
Heaves joyous- higher and higher ;
Low happy my lot and how sweet my rest,
V\ ith a wife in front of the fire.
And I drink her beauty into my heart,
And the love-light of her eyes;
With a crash the red brands fall apart
My wife up the chimney flies 1
Thus oft In my chair by' tho blazing Ore
I doze away my life,
And the mocking flames laugh higher and higher,
At my.dream of love and a wife.
yVIISCELLANEOUS.
Irish.
“Patrick, will you take your steak rare or
well done?” “We'l done, if you plaze, for it
was rare enough I got it in the ould coun
try.”
‘‘Guilty or not guilty ?” said a to «
native of the Emerald" Isle. “Just as ver
honor plases. It’s not the like o’me to dic
tate to your honor’s worship,” was the re
ply.
A Nashau (N. II.) Irishman while being
lowered into a deep well for cleansing pur
poses. the other day, when about half way
down got frightened, and shouted, “Let me
up or I’ll cut the rone.”
“Dennis, darlint, what is it you’re do
ire?” “\V hist, Biddy, I’se tryinffan exeer
iment.” “Murther! what is it?” “What
is it did you say ? Why it’s hot wa
ter to the chickens, I am, so that they’ll be
alter laying boiled eg^s.”
An Irishman, noticing a woman passing
along the street spied two strings depending
from under tho lady’s cloak. Not knowing
that they were the style of sashes and were
hanging in the right place, he exclaimed:
‘ Faith ma’am, yer gall.asus are untied.”
An Irishman, being a little fuddled, was
aske 1 what was his religious belief. “Is it
me belafe ye’d l>e asking about ? It’s the
same as the Widdy Brady. I owe her
twelve shillings for whisky, and she helaves
I’ll never nay her—and faith I that’s my
belief too.”
An Irishman, who had been sick a long
time, was one day met by the parish priest,
when the following conversation took place :
“Well, Da rick, I am glad you have recov
ered ; but were you not afraid to meet your
G d?” “O, no, your Riverence; it was
meenn’ the other chap that I was afeard
u v !” replied Pat.
An Irish bov, trying hard to get a place,
denied that he was Irish. I don’t know
wha* you mean by not being an Irishman,
said the gentleman who was about to hire
him ; but this I Ho know that you were
born in Ireland. Och ! your honor, if that’s
all, sina 11 blame to that. Suppose your old
cat had kittens in the oven, would they be
called loaves of bread ? The boy got the
place.
Two Emeralders workingon anew build
ing were dry, and one bet the other a pint
of whiskey that he could not earry him to
the top in his hod. No sooner said than
done; Mike shouldered Pat, and after slow
and painful tugging dumped his precious
burden on the roof. “Ah, Mickey, me
boy,” said Pat, rather crestfallen, “ye’ve
won the bet ; but mind yez, a9 yez was
passin’ the fourth story yez stumbled, an’ I
had hopes!”

Study vs. Dissipation..
The Scientific American veiy truly says:
“It is the commonly received noton that
ha r d study is the unhealthy element of a
college liie. But from the tables of Harvard
University, collected by Prof. Pieree from
the last triennial catalogue, it is clearly
demonstrated that the excess of death tor
the first ten years after graduation, is found
in that portion of each class of inferior
scholarship. Every one who has seen the
curriculum, knows that where FEbchylus and
political economy injure one, late hours and
rum punches use up a dozen, and that their
tw> little fingers are heavier than the loins
of Euclid. Dissipation is a sure destroyer,
and every young man who follows it is as
the early fiower exposed to untimely fro?t.
Those who have been inveigled in the path
of vice are named Legion A few hours’
sleep each night, high living, and plenty ol
“smashes,” make war upon every function
of the body. The brain, the heart, the
lungs, the liver, the spine, the limbs, the
bones, the flesh, every part and faculty
overtasked and weaken by the terrific ener
gy of passi m loosened irom restraint, unti 1 ,
like a dilapidated mansion, the ‘earthiy
house of this tabernacle’ falls iDto ruinous
decay.” ______

Tlvy Ihanruof Life in the Profe-sions,
The AG vantage of the Farmer’s Life.
We have an old document in our posses
sion. winch contains some interesting in
formation unknown to man7, and rarely
encountered in the papers. Among oth»T
things, it contains a table exhibiting the
average age attained by persons employed
in the various pxipufar professions of the
day. In this particular, as in most others,
the farmers nave the advantage over the
rest of mankind, as their average ago is
sixty* five. N,.jt up n the and >cket come
the judges and justices of the peace, the
dignity “f wlifise lives is lengthened out to
“ixty*fi>ur. F-dlowing, then immediately
in the category of longevity, is the btnk
officer, who tums up his account at the age
of sixty-three Public officers cling to their
existence with *s much pertinacity as tbev
retain their places ; they never resign their
offices, but life forsakes them nt fifty-six.
Coopers, although they seem to sUive
through life, hang on till they are fifty
eight.
Ihe good works cf the clergyman follow
them at fifty-fire. Shipwrights, hatters,
lawyers andropewalkers (some appropriate)
go together at the age of fifty-four. The
“Village Blacksmith,” like most of his co-.
temporaries, d.eii at fifty-one. Butchers
follow their blofldy career for precisely
half a century. Carpenters are brought to
the scaff Id at fortv-oine. Masons realize
thpir cry of “more!” at the age of forty
seven. Traders oekse their speculations at
forty-six. Jewelers are disfiusted with the,
tinsel of life at forty-four. Bakers, manu
factures and various .mechanics die at forty
three. dhe painters yield to their cholic at
fortv-twn. The brittle thread of the tailor’s
life is broken at f>rlv one. Editors, like
all other beings who o me ur.d‘’r the special
admiration of the go<s, Hie comparatively
young—they accomplish their errand of
mercy at forty. The tiusician redeems his
last note and plays hisdying fall at thirty
nine. The professional dancer shufiDs off
his mortal coil also at thirty-nine. Print
ers become dead matter at thirty-eight.
The machinist is usual I v blown up at thirty *
>*ix. The teacher dismisses his scholars at
the early age of thirty-fotyr, and the clerk
is even shorter lived, f<>r he must needs pro
pare his balance-sheet at thirty-three. No
account is given of the aver.ijr * longevity of
wealthy uncles, the inference is fair, there
fore, that they are immortal.
A Dying Cliiol' .Justice Wants to Dear
“Tlie Old Foiled at Home.”
On Sunday last, as the venerable Chief
Justice Robertson, stricken by the hand of
death, lay almost insensible to the world
which lie seemed fast leaving forever, while
the gigantic brain winch for so many years
has throbbed grandly to the inspirations of
his genius, barely fluttered with the eon-
Boiousness of life, he expressed a. desire to
hear Miss Gary sing the ballad of “Old
Folks at Hume,” as if the strains of his
favorite melody would have power to call
back his soul from the portals of the grave
which lie was so fast nearing. The wish
was at once communicated to Miss Cary,
who willingly consented to do anything in
her power to rouse the ebbing current of
life in one who, as a statesman or jurist,
has known but few rivals during the course
of a long and eventful life.
On reaching the residence of Judge R >b
ertson, Miss Cary was at once ushered into
the chamber where so much of intellect and
learning was fast flickering out into the
darkness of the unknown hereafter, and
without accompaniment of any kind raised
her rich contralto voiee in the touching
words, “Way down up >n the Suwanee
river,” but before she had sung three lines
broke down in the intensity of her emotion.
Calming herself, site aga n essaye.d the
ballad, and, while the venerable and strick
en man lav drinking her glorious melody,
poured out her whole soul in the simple
utterances which gave so much pleasure to
one whose giant intellect had, in days
agone, fascinated the most talented of the
land. When she had ceased, Judge Rob
ertson could searely express his gratification
by signs, yet signified a desire that Miss
Cary should sing for him “Home, Sweet
Home.” Twice did the gifted artiste at
tempt to comply with the request, but her
emotion was too great, and choked with
feeling she was compelled to leave the room.
The whole incident was one of tfie most
touching and affecting episodes that ever
marked the death bed of departing greatness.

An Interesting ami Instructive Scene.
As Senator Sumner was emerging from
the capital the other morning he was con
fronted by an aged Fifteenth Amendment,
who, had in hand and bowing and scraping,
remarke i,
“I bleeve dis Sumner ?”
“No! sir--there are no masters in this
land—l am Senator Sumner!”
This nearly squenehed the old darky, hut
he rallied with the remark —“Yous done a
heap for de culler’d race.”
“I am proud to hear you say so,” respon
ded the magnificent Chawles.
“De niggers all speak of you io de high
est elevation.”
Sumner bowel and smiled bis aekuwi
edgffiients.
‘•What I was coming at, Bos, is dat de
winter’s hard and de times pretty rough to
de old woman and I, and if you could spare
de old darky half ft dollar—”
Sumner stuped no further but with a ma
jestic wave of disapproval frmu the Senator,
ial hand he moved on while the venerable
colored brother muttered something about
“don’t appear to keer much for de niggers
’cept to vote and git der names up.” Just
then lion. Sum. C\ x came along and gave
the poor old darky a dollar. Cox is a cop
perhead.
A Sensible Negro.
Mr. Revels the dusky Senator from Mis
sissippi. made a speech in the Senate on
Thursday, which has the merit of being
more sensible and practical than the out
givings of n any pompous white Senators of
the same pditieal faith. The speech was
in opposition to a proposition of Mr. Pat
terson looking to mixed schools, where
white and colored children could be edu
cated together. The gentleman from Mis
sissippi opp >sed the pr position because he
■‘•was satisfied that the passage by Congress
of such a law would increase the prejudice
of the white man against the black, which
prejudice, he was sorry to say, seemed to be
oa the increase.”

To Mr Dear Fon ; The world estimates

1. Base all your actions on a principle of
justice, preserve your integrity of character,
and in doing it never reckon the cost
2. Never, under any circumstances, As

A Remarkable Edifice in Turin.
The Jews of Turin are building anew
place of worship, which, according io an
account in the Paris Temps, is a very ex
traordinary affair ;
The most remarkable of all structures at
Turii\ is the synagogue of the Israelites.
It is likely the finest and richest synagogue
in the world, and at the same time the most
remarkable monument of Turin. Upon a
small square hill, with adapted stairs,
a Greek temple in white and pink
Above, a little backwards, is a kind of
second temple. The whole is traversed by
galleries, adorned with small pillars and
thousands of splendid embellishments.
White and reddish colors predominate. It
is Greek and Moorish—it is Romanic and
Gothic: there is a blending of all etyles,
without overstraining and without bad taste.
But what makes this structure something
bizarre and unexpected, is a massive tower,
with piersed walls, arising above this orna
mooted, beautiful construction, reminding
of Asia and Egypt, of Thebes and Nineveh.
Surely the architect of this building was
gifted by imagination. He was an able
interpreter of the Hebrew dream of the
temple to beereeted at the brink of a strange
river. Never, since the great destruction,
hns Israel possessed a more magnificent
edifice in which tGo hymns of David re
sounded. This building is entirely fit for
the talented Italian Jews, who are a power
at the Exchange, at the Press, and in the
Parliament.

A Chauge of Religious Views.
Rev. It. A. Holland, late associate editor
rs the Baltimore Christian Advocate, has
officially notified his presiding elder, the
Eev. Dr. EL sscil, that he has severed hie
connection wiih tLe Methodist Episcopal
Church, S »uth, by becoming a candidate
for order? in theProrestat Episcopal Church.
In his letter of notifica ion, Mr. Holland
sa-y-i :
“I leave the Methodist Church wi'h a
sorrow that ehr nks from the mockery of
expression, it is the church of my fathers.
In it I wa* born arid nourished, and receiv
ed toe enduring mold of character. From
irs pulpits I first heard tho Word of Life,
and learned how to prove by faith the p~e
eious,jess of Christ. While yet a youth, it
gave cae a place among its preachers, and
since then, during a mini-try of ten years,
it has honored me with promotion beyond
my deserving. All my inttrwining fl overs
of friendship have grown un within its b >r
ders and beneath its genial culture. All
the diversified threads of my reminiscence
c inbine to weave its image in the very tex
ture of my life. To leave it, is to tear the
heart itself in twain ; but better this than a
union which cannot be prolonged without
dissimulation.”
Secretary’* Report.
Among the various report communicated
to Congress at the beginning of each session,
are 'inventories’ of the furniture in the va
rious publio buildings. The report from
the Secretary of State exhibits a marvel
||>U9 collection of old furniture and traps of
ail kinds in his department. The Chief of
the first Consular Bureau, returns, l step
ladder, 1 shovel, f>r hia first room ; 1 step
ladder, no shovel lor the second room, and
neither article in the third room, which,
however, has 1 slopbucket. Tho pasaport
room has 1 spittoon and 1 ship-bucket, l
mirror, and other utensils, which indicate
that it may be used as a sleeping room. In
tha Secretary’s own room there is 1 ther
mometer, tho only one in the building.
The room is also furnished with *2 tumblers,
a id 1 set of andirons, fender, shovel, and
tongs, which probably h«vo o<*mo down
since the days when Mr. M mroe was Sec
retary. The Chief Clerk has 1 copy of
Johnson's Dictionary, 1 spittoon, and 1
dock. This report makes a printed docu
ment of eight pages of the same senseless
detail. When tho reports come from all
the various departments of the government,
they should he referred to tho Statistical
Bureau for consolidation, that tho country
may know how many brooms and dust- pans,
slop-pails, and spittoons and other utensils
are stolen betweeu one eessir . >f Congress
and another
Travels of u Needle Through the Human
Body.
About a year ago a young lady of Xor
which, Conn., while making her toilet,
stepped on a large needle, which penetrated
the ball of her lett foot, and sank eo deeply
into the fhsh that it was impossible to
remove it. The girl suffered no pain or
inconvenience, and in a few months it was
forgotton. Early last fall she began to
complain of an indisposition, which in
creased till finally she was confined to her
bed. The trouble seemed ti be about tho
spine, and the doctors attributed it to spinal
disease and other causes, but their treat
ment was ineffectual to remove it, and the
girl grew worse. A few weeks ago she telt
one day a sharp pricking sensation, between
the shoulder blades, and a pustule appeared,
which on examination, proved to contain
the needle which nearly a year before had
entered her foot, It was removod and re
lief was instantaneous. From that time
the girl rapidly improved, and is now al
most entirely restored to health.
The Beloved Wife.
Only let a woman be sure that she is
precious to her husband—not useful, not
convenient, not valuable, simply., but love
ly and beloved ; let her be recipient of his
polite and hearty attentions; let her feel
that her care and love are noticed, appreci
ated anil returned ; let her opinion be ask
ed, her approval sot ght, and her judgment
in matters of which sho is cognizant, in
short, let her only be loved, honored and
cherished, in fulfilment of her marriage
vow’, and she will be to her husband and
her children, and to society, a well spring
of pleasure. She will bear tort, and pain,
and anxiety ; for her husband’s love is to
her a tower and a fortress. Shielded and
sheltered therein, adversity will havo lost
its sting. She may suffer, but sympathy
may dull the edge of her sorrow. A house
with love in it—and by love we mean love
expressed by words, and looks, and deeds,
for I have not one spark of faith in love
that never crops out—it is to a house with
love as a person to a machine—the one is
life the other mechanism.

American People.
An Indiana orator has just perpetrated
the billowing, which we commend to our
rising politicians :
“The American people—and we are
proud to call ourselves that—arc rocked in
the bosom of two mighty oceans, whose
granite-h >und shores are whitened by the
floating canvas ot the commercial world;
reaching from the ice-fettered lakes of the
North to the febrile waves of Australian
seas, comprising the va-t interim of five
billions of acres, whose alluvial plains, ro
mantic mountains,* and mystie rivers rival
the wildest Utopian dreams that ever gath
ered about the inspired bard as he walked
the amaranthine promenades of Hesperian
gardens, is proud Columbia, the land of the
free and the home of the brave."
