Sain came along and was thinking, may be. Full as much of Annie as she of the baby. “Just look at (he darling,” cried Annie, in a flutter, Giving its locks round her finger a twirl ; “If I was a man I know that I couldn’t Be keeping my hands off a dear little girl ” And Sam gave a wink as if to say “may be Os the girls I'd rather hug you than the baby ” “Now kiss it,*’ she cried, though she still hugged it closer. “Its mouth's like the roses the honey bee sips !” Sam stooped to obey, and, as beads came together, There chanced to aiise a confusion of lips! And as it occurred it might have been, may be, That each got a kiss, Sam, Ann and the baby !

A FOURTH OF JULY SKETCH. From the New York Ledger.] BY JUDGE CLARK. No town or neighborhood but Ims it3 great man. Kosherham, unfortunately, had two. Cicero Smith and Demosthenes Dobbs were a couple of lawyers of great local em inence-rivals in everythin;' from law to love, and rank haters of each other. One such man might have make the place fa mous ; two kept it in hot water. The entire community took sides. All who were not swearers by Smith, were drummers for Dobbs. ’ The number of “hung jurieß ,, in that county was some' thing incredible. It was astonishing, con sidering the acrimony between them, and the fact that both gentlemen were militia officers, that the contest continued blood less. Indeed P'bbs, on one occassion, did challenge Smith, for calling him a liar, in open court : but the affair was compromised by Smith’s explaining that he meant noth ing unprofessional. Some weeks before the Fourth of July, many years ago, the Kosherhammers. as usual, began their prepartions for celebra ting the day. How differently such tilings were conducted then ! If there was less of of fizzing nnd popping and blue-blazes than modern improvement has brought, what imposing parades of cornstalk militia we had ! and what speeches !—to say nothing of the boundless supply of gingerbread and cider for the juveniles, and something a little stronger for the old folks! Happy times !—I fear “we shall not look upon their like again !'’ Mr. Smith had-been the orator of the preceding year, and had acquitted himself with distinguished honor—so much so, that he had been putting on airs over Dobbs ever since. The Dobbs faction were determined that the coming occasion should give their fav orite a chance. “Turn about was fair play,” they said ; and though the partisans of Smith hooted at the folly of discarding a man of approved gifts for one of untried powers, Dobbs eventually carried the day by a single vote —a result brought about by the sudden defection of Posey Potts, who, after talking and drinking on Smith’s side to the last moment, unaccountably deserted to Dobbs. Mr. Dobbs had written his speech months before, so as to have it ready in case of emergency. On one passage he especially prided himself. ISo public demonstration, we should explain, was deemed complete in those days without the presence ot one or more Revolutionary soldiers, (many of whom were still surviving ) conspicuously put forward as lay figures whereon to hang the choicest chaplets of the orator’s elo quence. Mr. Dobbs had adopted, as the basis of this part of his speech, Mr. Web ster’s noble address to the “venerable men” whom he so grandly apostrophized on a memorable occasion—a model, it is but just to say, on which Mr. D. considerably im proved, at least in sound, by substituting, wherever practicable, words of four sylla bles for those of one. But the fates frowned on Dobbs. Not a week bes ire the eventful day. Daddy Daw son, the onlv “Revolutioner” within twen ty miles of Kosherham, and who had often stood a target for oratorical popguns, than he ever had for British bullets, perversely died ! To leave out his finest passage al together—a sacrifice Dcfbbs couldn’t bear to think of—or deliver it to a dummy, at the risk of being redieulous, was the perplex ing alternative the case presented. The morning of the Fourth found Dobbs still undecided; nor had he vet made up his mind when the crowd had assembled, nor even when the drum and fife—Kosher ham was spared, as yet, the infliction of a brass band —began to play the opening overture. Just then Posey Potts was seen elbowing his way toward the platform, leading Hans Haversack, a broad-faced, good-humored old Dutchman, a new-comer in the place, and proprietor of a thriving establishment known as the “Mug and Pretzel .” Potts beckoned tj Dobbs, and whispered something. “You don’t say so !” the latter exclaimed. “But I do, though !” “A real Revolutionary soldier?” “I have it from his own lips.” Dobbs whispered excitedly to the chair man ; the chairman whispered to the com mittee, and Ilans, by main force, was hois ted into the seat of honor, where he sat blushing like a Jrau bis ocean of face rippled over/ with smiles. A. load was lifted from the breast of Dobbs. “It is the Sun of Bunker-Hill,” he be gan, as soon as the music ceased, “that this day shines upon us with undimmed splen dor !” It was not the fault of Dobbs that the morning was dark and cloudy. If any body was to blame, it was the Committee of Arrangements. As the speaker proceeded, Smith, who sat sneering on the stand, began to feel concerned for his laurels. Dobbs was do ing better than he had expected. How., ever, tho crucial test was yet to come. It was by the final apostrophe to the ‘Old Revdutioners” that the audience always judged of the orator’s success or failure. “This overdone”—though that could hard ly fe —“or come tardy off,” irredeemably marred and ruined all. The critical moment came at last. “Stand up,” whispered Posey in Hans’ ear. Hans obeyed, looking bashful and fool ish. “By what commander were you led to glory?” inquired Dobbs, by wav of making believe the whole thing was impromtu. ‘‘Vat ish dat?” ’‘Under whom did you serve?” ‘‘Me? ’ said Ilans, his face brightening wqb a grin of comprehension—“?•//, 1 uas wilder Hessians unter Sheneral Boorcoyne, untold Kates, he napt us all Dobbs was struck dumb ! * Yefer mint, Misthcr Topps,” added hnne», ecring the effect ofhis answer, and seeking to set maters right ; “I pe’s a coot American now, nut fotes for Sheneral Shaekson all de wile Dobbs’ oration was never finished. If the world ever sees the rest of it, it w ill he in his posthumous works. Amid roars of laughter from the friends of Smith, the poor fellow sank into the nearest seat, overwhelmed and crushed. Cries of “Smith !” “Smith !” brought forward that gentleman, who brilliantly closed the exercises by repeating, in his best style, some of the most magnificent portions of his last year’s speech, to the great edification of himself and friends, and the utter disgu-t of Dobbs and his. A TRUE PICTURE OF A BATTLE FIELD. — Steadily the brave follows ascended the range of hills, two ranks deep, under a fu rious fif£ of artillery, flashing death’s ter rors under the most fearful form, and gaylv they climbed the numerous fences in their way. Men dropped, the gaps were made in the ranks, but the lines were immedi ately closed—all were compact as before. The wounded silently fell. All bosh about the screams of the wounded that we read of in books. On they went until a blaz/ng fire of musketry stormed upon them from the rifle-pit hitherto invisible, and induced a halt. Firmly they stood and returned the fire. Up went the swards of the field officers, wildly cheering them on. Again they advanced, Again they halted. Line officers ran behind the men—picking up cartridge boxes of the dead, and replenish ing those of the living. Back and forth they went, in the rear of their companions, asking men if their am munition held out, indicating localities where shots might be effective, and encour aging them with hopeful words;— “Steady, boys, steady ; give ’em thunder ! Smith are you hurt?” “Yes, sir ; my arm’s broke.” “Go to the rear, my boy.” Another boy falls. “Where are you struck Robert?” “In the thigh, sir. I can’t move.” ~Lie still, and keep cool; they’ll take you away soon.” ‘ Denis, what’s the matter with you ? Why the devil don’t you fire?” “The ball’s banged to the top o’, me mus kit togither, sir, aud broke the bagenet.” “Pitch it away; here’s another. Fire faster, Jones ! That’s right, Robinson ! Give it to em ! Splendid ! boys, splendid ! Down with you, a now battery opening!” So it goes, encouragement arid reproof by turns, in quantities varied by the individu al vitality of the officer, interspersed with constant orders to lie down and avoid the fire of the batteries. “D—n this knapsack ! I can’t stand it!” says one ; and it is jerked off. “This coat is as hot as says anoth er, and off it goes. Terrible is this work of death ! The en emy in the rifle pits have the advantage of three to one. They put their heads up, fire, and down they go to load. “Oh, blast it! Cap’n we ain’t got no chance against them fellers; we ought to have reinforcements.” This cry extends along the lines, Cols, in their visits to their regiments, hear it from their line officers; soon it comes to the knowledge of the generals, and after an hour’s fighting, an order to fall back is giw en, which is obeyed with a steady pace, and but little straggling, towards the city. A Little Mixed.— During the Presiden tial canvass of 1812, in which the Federal ists supported the claims of De Witt Clinton, party feeling was strong and rampant. Those who favored the war measures of the administration had President Madison, and the contest was duly opened. In a thriving town of Oxford county in what was then the District of Maine, lived a hard-working, well meaning man, named Jerry Phipps, whe had heretofore voted with the Federalists, lie knew as much about politics as he did abnut the geogra phy of Jupiter ; but his vote, nevertheless, counted as much as the next man’s. Dur ing the autumn of this year Jerry was ot work for Mr. Noble, —and Mr. Noble was a rank Republican. He told Jerry that he must be a patriot, and vote for Madison ; and he explained how necessary it was that the government should be sustained in the midst of the nation’s perils by sea and land. Jerry’s heart was fired, and he promised to vote for Madison. “But,” said he, a little dubiously, “ye know, “Squire, I’ve allers voted t’other way. When they ask me what for I’m a goin to vote for Jim. Madison, what shall I tell ’em?” “Tell them,” replied Noble, “that you are bound to vote for the only man who will support our Navy, and stop Insurrec tion.” Jerry nodded, and went his way. Not long afterward, at the village store, he was approached by a Federal politician, and asked how he intended to vote. “For Jim. Madison,” answered Jerry, promptly. “But. Jerry, I thought you were a true patriot.” “So I be.” “Then how can you vote for Madison ?” “Because,” replied Jerry, with lofty en thusiasm, “he’s the only man that will support knavery, and stop the Resurrection Jerry probably imagined, as he turned away, that the position was impregnable ; and hence his auditors had wondered, and were silent. Our humorists sometimes use the keen edge of their wit in righteous slaughter of follies that can be dealt with in no other way so effectively. Mark Twaiu is at pre sent the best of these. A llcv. Talmadge. of Brooklyn, recently said in the Independ ent, in behalf of renting pews . I have a good Christian friend who, if he sat in the front pew iu church, and a word ing man should enter the door at the other end, would smell him instantly. My friend is not to blame for the sensitiveness of his nose, any more than you would flag a pointer for being keener on the scent than a stupid watch-dog. The fact is, if you had the churches free, by reason of the mixing up of common people with, the uncommon, you would keep one-halt of Christendom sick at their stomach. If you are going to kill the church thus with bad smells, I will have nothing to do with this work ot evan gelization. To which M rk Twain responds : We have reasons to believe that there will lie laboring men in heaven : and also a number of negroes, and Esqumaux, and Terra del Fuegans, and Arabs, and a few Indians, and possibly even some Spaniard* and Portuguese. All things are possible with God. We shall have all these sorts of people in lierven ; but alas! in getting them we shall lose the society <t Dr. Tal madge. Which is to say, we shall lose the company of one who could give more real “tone” to celestial society than any other contribution Brooklyn could furnish." And what would eternal happiness he without the Doctor ? Blissfull—unquestionably— we know that well enough—but would it be distingue would it be recherche without him? Sfc. Matthew without stockings or sandals; St. Jerome bareheaded, and with a coarse brown blanket robe dragging the ground: St. Sebastine with scarcely any raiment at all—thego we should see, and should enjoy seeing them ; but would we not miss a spike-tailed coat and kids, and turn away regretfully, and say to parties from the Orient: “These are well enough ; but you ought to see Talmadge, of Brook lyn ” I fear me that in the better world we shall not even have Dr. Talmadge’s “good Christian friend.” For if he were sitting under the glory of the Throne, and the keeper of the keys admitted a Bejamin Franklin or other laboring man, that “friend,” with his fine natural powers ins finitely augmented by emancipation from hampering flesfi, would detect him with a single sniff and immediately take his hat and ask to be excused.

HOW TO READ THE BIBLE. 1. Read ic every day. 2. Read, sometimes, one verse ftt a time. 3. Read, sometimes, a paragraph at a time. 4. Read, sometimes, a whole chapter ; at others, a whole book. 5. Sometimes, read by subjects : e. g., the parables, by themsslves, one after another, etc. 6. Take one “character” and trace it through the Old and New Testaments , thus: 1, direct history or biography ; 2, il lustrative comments on, either in the way of enforcing as an example or exhibiting as a warning ; 3, by contrast with others of different type. 7. Hnnt up a doctrine through both Tes taments. For example, God’s watch-care over his people—God’s sovereiguty—elec tion-predestination—the law of the Sab bath. 8. Find out the contrasts between the Old and the New Testaments ; between one saint and another ; between some zealous Christian and some zealot persecutor; be>* Jew and Samaritan. 9. Take a verse, sometimes, to pieces, word by word ; and find when the potential words are ustd elsewhere, and in what verses. 10. Use all the helps you can get—if yon haven’t a commentary, put by the difficult pas a ages to ask your minister the meaning of. 11. Above all, endeavor to make your readings of God’s w'ord improve you iu the article of self-examination and growth in grace.— Religious Herald. Keeping Rattlesnakes—A Question of Law.— ln Dahlonega county, Ga., lives a man who is fond of rattlesnakes? He keeps them in his garden as pets. He has no children of his own, but some cf his neigh bors are blessed with offspring. Aslittle son of one of his neighbors having ventured into his garden for the purpose of picking strawberries, was bitten by a rattlesnake and killed. The question has heDce arisen, whether the owuer of the rattlesnake is liable in damages to the boy’s father for the death of his son. The detence is, that the boy, having gone into the garden to steal strawberries, was a trespasser, and therefore not under the protection of the law. On the other hand, it is claimed that a man has no business to put his neighbor’s children to death bv means of a rattle snake’s fangs, for offences which the law itself does not punish with deattj. “SEED CORN.” God may hear the heart without words, but not words without the heart. llopk leans on an anchor, but an anchor must have something to hold by and on.

To Remove Stains from Character—Get rich. Virtue is without merit when it is with out opposition. I housands who fear death, pour it down their throats.

Masonic —“On the evening of May 14,” says the London Jh'/nrs. “Earl de Grey was installed as Grand Master of English Tree Masons, and such an assemblage of the craft as were there gathered to give him a cordial greeting, is altogether without precedent or parallel. That such sh uld have been the case is, not to be wondered at when it is known that there has been no similar event in this country for twenty six years, the Grand Mastership having for that period been occupied by the Earl of Zetland, who now retires from the tnrono of Free Masonry. The occasion was ren dered still more interesting from the inti-* motion that Brother the Prince of Wales had given out, sometime since, that when ever the Grand Master-electshould installed as Grand Master, he should do himself the pleasure of being present to witness it. Up ward of 1,200 of the highest officers in the craft were present, some of them from Chi- . na, Canada, America and other countries.” Or eat horror has recently been expressed in Bacchanalian circles at an item of infor mation in the Internal Revenue reports concerning stimulating fluids. At Cincin nati, 42.000 barrels of “saloon washings” are re-distilled every year, yielding about two and a half gallons of new spirits each. The slops bring about $2 per barrel. Wo do not know why re-distilled bar-room s’ops should disturb the equanimity of tough old absorbers, who have been so long com placently imbibing strychnino, belladonna, coceulus indieus, sugar of lead, and other well-known chemicals, which lend such a fascination, to the sparkling and rosy beaker. The re-distilled rinsings are not particularly dirty, until they have been doctored, and need no more trouble the stomach than foreign w ines trodden out by unwashed feet. TooTit ache —For the benefit of those who may need a little consolation, we pub lish the following from a correspondent of an exchange : “If any of your readers suffer from tooth ache, or neuralgic affections, arising from teeth in any state of decay, they may ex perience relief, instantaneous and perman ent, by saturating a small bit of clean cot ton or wool with a strong solution of ammo nia, and applying it immediately to tho affected tooth. The pleasing contrast in stantaneously produced, in some cases, a fit of laughter, although a moment before extreme suffering and anguish prevailed. I have used the remedy for over one year, and have obtained sufficient proof to war rant publication. An Editor Under the Influence of Gin. —The editor of the Logan (Ohio) Ga zette having been presented with a bottle of London Dock Gin, drank it, and then attempted to w’rite a paragraph of thanks, with this melancholy result; “In conclusion, here's to the “fire Foun tain Company No. some” the Brass foun tain Belle Band, and the rest of our home institutions and organizations includin the ladies, and other branches of business (hie) in and around town —and especially the Messident’s Pressage, Monington Washu ment, etc., all of which may be had cheap at the Buck Drook—Brook and Drug Store of Binninger’s London Dock Gin, for two dollars a year, if payment is delayed until the end of the Atlantic Cable.” The most laughable thing, probably, that ever occurred in church took place at a re vival meeting at Milwaukee. The minister noticed a seedy—looking chap in one of Ghe seats, loaking as though be needed religion or a good square meal, so he stepped up to him aud asked him if he was a Christian. “I am the editor ot the , says the man, mentioning a radical paper. “Then let us pray, alas, let us pray,” said the devoted minister. That editor was confined to his bed. Matrimony is—hot cakes, warm beds, comfortable slippers, smoking coffee, red lips, kind words, shirts abounding in but tons, redeemed stockings, bootjacks, hap piness, etc. Single biessedness is—sheet iron quilts, blue noses, frosty rooms, ice in the pitcher, unregenerated linen, heelless socks, coffee sweetened with icicles, gutta percha biscuits, rheumatism, corns, rhubarb and any amount of misery. /f" " A Little girl in a Western town, after studying for some time a picture of the Magdalen reclining on her face and weep-* ing, suddenly turned to her mother and ex claimed : “Mamma, I know whv Mrs. Magdalene is cryiDg. It is because Mr. Magdalene does not buy her clothes enough.” On being asked to dance, a young lady out West said: “O, blazes, boys, I can’t dance ; but there’s mam, jest as good a dancer as ever shuck a foot.” • It was once said of the elder Booth that “the blind could see him in his voice and tho deaf could hear him his visage,” isro. 32.
