Shall 1 enlarge his powers, renew his commission and send him back to Earth to destroy souls! and tight against Emmanuel?” “Aye, aye, aye!” suuncled and re sounded through the Fit Satan now dictated to his t liief Secre tary the terms of the new commission. In the language of Earth, it runs thus: “Kingdom of l-’andetiionium, I Know all State of Fire and Brimstone, j Deatons I-. these presents. that by my my*l nod, ! with the eon: nut, And approbation of ! the t ran i Council of Pandemonium, it I is ordained that the bearer of this, Alco hol, is to lie known nod tocogoized by * 11 e I tenii and title of I’kince Ar.eouoi,.

In that part of the world we cail America, especially that part of America which is denominated thtj united State-, I have met witji some heavy dis asters. Emmanuel has there separated Church ant) State —a thing which has I caused i!tb f mareh'hiftftritation. i here also i he lias united Conscience, established in , a Strong garrison Religious Liberty, 1 thrown up a formidable entrenchment i against established—religion, wrested the. i fagots, fire and sword from the hands of i of Persecution, my faithful servant, and | opened an asylWfsr.'tho oppressed and I persecuted of all nations.

They are fond of liberty; talk ruuclW freedom, natural arid un alienable rights, and they will listen to you—as they listen with unguarded and unsuspecting hearts, bind them font. I ijyny own name, and in the name of this great assembly of demons, I solemnly charge you to have constant regard to this part of your royal commission. In short, in every place, and in every way, use every nerve id' thine arm and every energy of thy soul, to stir up, spread and perpetuate every species of misery and crime. You are instructed to go on after the manner you have hitherto done— though with tenfold energy—and push men and women into the corners of fences, into ditches and mud lutes, to multiply prisons, hospitals and halters; to break Harms, legs, noses and skulls; stir up riots; multiply diseases, cover the faces of men with blotches, rot then- bones, turn their I stomachs inside out,.bloat them up into ; scare-crows, burn their lights, livers and intestines, load thorn down with all matt net 1 of infirmities and plagues. “And finally, you are most ciuphnti cully charged to exert all your diabolical skill and power to raise a greater army of volunteers than you have ever done, and . by till possible craft and force to conduct them along to this place of torment. To aiil you in these operations I put under your command an additional army of ten myriads ol the bravest demons that are to Le found in my vast empire. Farewell, most noble 1 Vince.

Though this great bragging was proof enough of Al cohol's villainy, yet they said, “It is die voice of a god, and not of man.” [continued in our next.J A Vagrant Philosopher. In the hip pocket of an old vagrant, pulled in by the police the other night, was a memorandum book full of his own writing with pencil, and some of his phi losophy is good enough to he preserved. His first paragraph reads: “Drinking had whisky because it is offered free is like getting in the way of bullets purchased by an enemy.” A second reads: “Honesty is ttie best policy, but some folks are satisfied with second best.. It. is hard to he honest on an empty stomach.” A third runs: “A dry plank under a rain roof shed is better than a feather bed in jail, and one isn’t annoyed by the bringing in a square breakfast.” A fourth says: _ “Pay as you go. T#nu havn’t any thing to pay with, dou'f go. If you are forced tii go, record indebtedness and let your heirs settle tile bills.” The fifth explains: “We should have charity for all. When the winter winds blow cold and drear we vags should pity the poor fellows in India who are having red dipt weather. A sixth is recorded: “Politeness costs nothing, but it is not expected that you will wake a man up at midnight to ask permission to go through his hen In use. Ft is more courteous to let him enjoy his needed repose. The seventh, and last, was noted down as follows: “When you pick up an apple core do not find fault because it is not the apple itself, Lut bo satisfied with the grade of descent. Do not be ashamed of your occupation. We cannot all he lords, not can we all ho vagrants. As 1 cannot be a lord I shall not lament at being a vagrant.

Wilt:‘tß is Hem,.—“l wish to ask you a question,” said Mr. Sharp to our min ister, as he mot him in the street. “I am anxious to know where hell is. 1 have read the Bible geogtaphies, histo ries and other books, and 1 can t liud out where it is exactly.’ . The young minister, placing his hand on his shoulder, and looking earnestly into his eyes,applied encouragingly: *\My dear S-r, do not be d.scouragcd; 1 am sut e you will find out after a while. As for myself, I lnve made no inquiries, and really don’t wish to know where hell is. About heaven I have thought, and read and studied a great deal. 1 wish to make that my home, and really don’t wish to know where hell is.

Sage Maternal Counsels. “Eliza,” said a fond mother to her offspring on Saturday, as that offspring was about going forth in tow of a young man who worships the very sidewalk she walks upon, “Flliza, go to the bread-box and eat a good big crust of bread before you go out.” “Why, maw,” replied the blushing girl, “I don’t feel the least hungry. We’ve only just had tea.” “I know it, but yousAvill he hungry before you get back, and when Adolphus takes you into a restaurant you’ll eat ice-cream and sponge cake and ham sandwiches, and oysters enough to scare him out of a year’s growth. You silly girls don’t think of this, but we experienced women do. 1 was once young and giddy myself, uid but for sixty-five cents’ worth of umcearoons —a cal e for which I have ever since entertained the most profound contempt—your paw would have been a Congressman, with an aquiline nose and I lyperian curls. Beware how you sit down on the budding flame of Cupid. Of course, Adolphus will spend the money y< u save him on billiards and things, but that, makes no difference. When he asks you to go in and have some oysters, even if you are hungry, don’t. Say you do not approve of girls wasting the money of their future husbands oil idle trifles, when it might be applied toward furnishing a house, l'oint out that for the cost of an oyster stew you might purchase a couple of towels, now that toweling is so cheap, and that a saddle-rock roast is the equivalent to a silver fork—plated of course, but not easily distinguished from solid silver —or a glass sugar bowl. This always takes the young men; it sets them to thinking of housekeeping and matrimony; it makes them believe that you are the in carnation of economy, and would mako an excellent wife; and so they often say things which give you a hold over them, or are effective before a jury.” Eliza treasured up these sagacious counsels of the authoress of her being, and acted upon him with such earnestness and effect that when she came homo she was au engaged woman. -♦* ♦ ** Start-no in the World.—Many an unwise parent labors hard aud lives spar ingly all his life lor the purpose of leav ing enough to give his children a start in thu world, ns it is called. Setting a young man afloat with money left him by his re lations is like tying bladders under the arms of one who cannot swim; ten chances to one he will lose his bladders ami go to the bottom. Teach him to swim, and he will never need the blad ders. Give your child a sound and you have done enough for him. See to it that his morals are pure, his mind cultivated, and his whole nature made subservient to the laws which govern man, and you have given him what will be of more value than all the wealth of the ludias. Mustard Poultice.— ln making mus tard poultices people generally use lar too much mustard, which is rather dele terious than beneficial. Whenever you have occasion for mustard poultices, make them as follows: Into about agill of boiling water, slir a tablecpoon full of the best yellow 1 Indian meal. Spread this on a cloth, and then over it spread a a thin layer of mustard mixed with a little cold water. “I must say there is some of the mean est negroes in this town that ever I saw,” said a negro clergy man in Elizabeth, Ky., on resigning his pastorate. “They can tell the biggest lies, and put on the long est faces, and couie to church looking as m an as the Old Boy, and he—they can outlie* Satan. Some of them have got two wives, and still say they arc going to heaven.” The rather notorious Dr. Kelsey, who has been accused of an outrage upon the fffiVsun of Miss Alice Kennedy, of Fulton county, and who h'.tu left Atlanta to avoid the penalty of the law, as was stated, was arrested at Rcsaca by Detective Mumghan, and returned manacled to the Gate City to face Die serious char b e preferred against him.l Within a few miles of the fortunate town of Evansville, Ind., are a three legged dog, a pet hog with no eyes, a man who is about tu marry his daughter in-law’s sister, two other men who have wedded each other’s daughters, a young man who espoused the mother of his de ceased wife, and several variations of the Enoch Arden type.
