SUNDAY MORNING, NOV. 11,1866
Looking Under the Bed.
It is the habit of many persons to taka a look
under the bed before retiring for (he night. —
Mrs. Evergreen, my beloved wife, indulges, if
indulgence It can be called, in this peculiar
practice. I do not object to it in the least so
long ns she does not enforce the performance
upon myself; but when, as is sometimes the
ease, she forgets it until she has put out the
light and ensconced herself under the comfort
er, then it is hard that 1, who am not troubled
with nervous apprehensiveness, should have to
get out in the cold and do it for her. I have
often remarked to Mrs. Evergreen, when I have
seen her prying under the bed, that it was a
( illy habit, and that the sooner alie gave it up
the better. To ibis gentle admonition my bet
ter half invariably rejoins :
“ l.a, Evergreen, what harm does it do ? It’s
a kind of satisfaction to know that pobody’s
under there, and then I don’t think of aueha
horrible thing after I’m in hed.”
“ I think, my dear, you might just as well
pursue your investigations further, and look
into the bureau drawers and in the clothes
basket!”
“ Evergreen,” she will rejoin, “ don’t men
tion the idea, or I shall eertaiuly do so. Come
lo think of it, a man could very easily get into
the clothes-basket!”
“ Certainly he. could, my dear, quite as easily
as Ealstali'. You should certainly include the
clothes-basket, and by tlie-by, there's the chim
ney ; why not look up that as well V”
“ Now, Evergreen, you’re laughing at me.
But i can't leave off the lmbit, and 1 never will.
It’s a comfort for me to know that there’s
nothing wrong about it, and I don’t see why
you should deprive me of it.”
Ho under the bed goes the candle, and no
signs of humanity being discovered, Mrs. Ev
ergreen is able to repose in peace. But, ns nl
iclv observed, this precautionary act is some
rfties forgotten, and 1 am sometimes obliged to
rise, light the lamp, and report. I’ve done it
rather more frequently of late than is agreeable,
and have intimated as much to Mrs. E. She
says: ;
“ Very well, Evergreen, 1 will do it myself."
But this pioeedure is almost equally as bad,
for she invariably lets the cold in on mo botli in
getting out and getting in. if it were not for
increasing this mental idiosyncracy on the part
of Mrs. Evergreen, by giving her some good
reason to apprehend danger, I should relate to
her what I am about to lay before the reader.
In this narration, therefore, 1 ask the public
most particularly to bear in mind that Mrs.
Evergreen is of a sensitive nature, rather ap
prehensive and slightly superstitious,and that
what I have to say must under no circumstances
be told again. If tor two-and-tweuty years
(that is the period of our wedded life, and hap
py years have they been) --if, I say, I have for
this long period refrained from imparting the
matter to the beloved sharer of my joys and
partaker of my sorrows, surely the public
(which, as we know,always docs keep a secret)
will keep mine.
All young men, 1 suppose, have love affairs
before they event ually ll v their affections on
the one wiio is to Idess their lot in life. I kftow
that I had, and ! don’t regret it. Regret it! for
from it. Mrs. Evergreen is not, present, and
thorelm e 1 have no hesitation in saving that it
1 had my life to live over again I’d like to go
through with the tame sentimental experience,
partii ularly it it was to ho succeeded by again
leading to the hymeneal altar the present Sjrs.
Evergreen.
I was not bad looking when I was in my
twenties. I think I may go farther, and confi
dently say that “Gus Evergreen” was a deci
ded favorite among the girls of Oakville, and I
really believe that 1 could have had any ot them
** for the asking.” Ait 1 before remarked, Mrs.
Evergreen is not present, and 1 indulge my
thoughts somewhat more fyuoly thiqj would
‘utifrt Vvise be the eas ti l don’t think tnsr T*'
eared particularly for any of the Oakville girls,
however, and I might have kept my heart whole
to this day if if had not been for the cireuni
stancc which I am about to relate.
Fred Evans, who had been my chum at
school, came to make me a visit at Oakville for
“ a day or two,” as lie said, When he came; hut
he made it a week or two easily enough after
I’d taken him about a little among the “young
ladies.” When that time had expired Fred said
he really must go, as he didn’t know what his
father and mother would think of his long ab
sence ; but it ended in his relieving their anxie
ty by a letter and sending for his trunks. 1
knew how the matter was perfectly well, and
that Belle Bronson had bewitched him out of
his live senses. Fred used to put it on to the
“country air and the quiet which was benefiting
his health, etc.” but it was no use trying to de
ceive me, and I told him so. Then he owned
up frankly, and I promised to help him nil 1
could, if lie required any help in the prosecu
tion of hi-suit. 1 never thought Bello a flirt,
or that she would willingly distress any human
being; but she had away ot looking into one’s
eyes as i: > captivate them for her mere per
sonal amusement.
At any rate she had a larger share of beaux
than tiio other girls, but nil their attentions
came to nothing. I feared it might he so with
, a Fred Evan-, and warned him accordingly ; but
» Fred said he’d “have her if he tried all his
life ; that “ without iter life was naught to him;”
that “ she was the only living being who hail
ever awakened a real emotion in ins breast,”
etc., etc. After that 1 said no more, blit closely
observed the lovers, and soon came to the con
clusion that Fred was by no means disagreea
ble to her. Things went on in this way without
any definite results until Fred received a sud
den summons home on account of his mother’s
illness. When lie came back to renew his visit
he insisted upon staying at the Oakville Hotel
rather than wear out his welcome at our house,
and finding remonstrances unavailing, there he
tyent. The landlord (honest old Downsbury—
-1 wonder if he yet lives) gave Fred, at my sug
gestion, his best bedroom, "No. 20 -I am
particular in mentioning the number, “lie
shall have No. 20,” said Downsbury. “ Any
friend ol yours, Master Augustus, shall have
the best i have to give as long’s I’m landlord.”
It. was a, pleasant room, looking out on the dis
tant hills and the beautiful winding branch of
the Black Water ; but wliat cared Fred for
scenery ? he was in the hands ot the blind god,
and could not sec even as far an his nose, ex
cept, in the direction of Belle’s cottage. I used
to go over to Fred’s room and smoke my
segar, while he, poor wretch, expatiated on his
sufferings, doubts, and solicitudes. Did sin
love him ? Hint was the question which dis
turbed every moment of his existence, and to
which, with the closest reasoning, he could not
bring himself a satisfactory reply. Sometimes
be thought a word or a sign settled the point
beyond a doubt in his favor ; and at others lie
landed he read a coolness and indifference it!
her eyes, lit this condition of uncertainty lie
dared not press the question lest a busty step
might bring him to grief.
At Fred’s earnest solicitation 1 promised to
sound Belle as to her sentiments, if a favorable
opportunity presented itself, or at any rate to
let Iter know in an indirect way that Fred was
languishing in distress on her account, and finis
give her no excuse for unnecessarily prolong
ing ids misery. It so happened, however, that
my services were not called into requisition.
Belle Bronson, because of the sudden arrival at
her house of some country cousins was obliged
to give up her room—tier mother’s cottage
being a small one-and to occupy for a single
night a room at the hotel. We would cheerful
ly have offered her guests accommodations at'
our house, hut we were in the same predica
ment. An agricultural fair in the village had
brought many strangers into the place, and our
own guests were so numerous that 7 had given
up my room to two of them, and had Intended
asking Fred Evans to let me pass the night
with hint.
For ttiis purpose I went to the hotel at a late
hour, and proceeded at once to Fred’s room,
but to my surprise found no one there. I did
not even notice that his trunk was gone, or
suspect tlie fact, which afterwards became ap
parent, that “to oblige some lady guest for this
night only," as the landlord expressed it, Fred
had consented to give up “No. 20” and occupy
cupy a small room in the rear of the build
ing. The gas being turned up I took a book lo
await Ills return, and hearing at last what ap
peared to be steps approaching the room, and
supposing it to be Fred, in a momentary im
pulse to play a joke on him I slipped under a
bed, a large and high one, intending to imitate
a cat (of which animal f knew he had a detesta
tion) as soon as he entered the room. The
door opened, and I was on the point of indulg
ing in my ventriloquial faculty by giving a long
drawn tnieow, when from my hiding-place I
beheld Belle Bronson take quiet possession of
the apartment 1
My astonishment was so great, and the sense
of mortification so intense, that I did not, as I
should have done, make myself immediately
known to her. Thus the opportunity for dis
covery and explanation was lost. I dared not
move a hair, but hoped sincerely that some ex
cuse might take her out of the room for a mo
ment, and so facilitate my escape. She, how
ever, locked the door, removed the key, and, ns
I knew by the sound, prepared to retire. Final
ly she kneeled dow beside the bed, and clasp
ing her hands and bowing her head (so fearfully
near to mine that f could hear the soft words
in my very ear), she offered up her evening
prayer in a manner so full of feeling, and witli
such sweet acceuts of womanly tenderness and
devotion, that I felt as if she was an angel bend-
tocchlg {(Constitutionniisi.
' t] • ' 4 ajfcj
ing over the vilest of mortals. That prayer
went to my heart; but one portion went through
it and held it captive. Never shall I forget my
feelings of surprise and deep emotion when I
heard her utter these words : “ Bless my dear
mother, sisters, and friends ; bless all around
me, and, O God ! bless him I love, Augustus
Evergreen, and shower down thy mercies over
him. Amen.” “Ah Augustus,” said my divin
ity to herself, as she rose irom her devotional
attitude, “if you but knew that I named your
very name in my prayers, you would he less
indifferent to me!”
If I breathed short before, after tills my
breath seemed to desert me entirely, and I verily
thought that the beating of my heart would
betray me. Belle, pure as an angel to me then,
and white as a snow-flake, proceeded to turn off
the gas and get into bed. I felt her soft pres
sure over my head, and shrunk closer and
closer to the hard floor upon which I was ex
tended. What thoughts rushed through my
brain ! above inc lay a young and unsophisti
cated girl wholly uucouscious that the one she
loved lay so closely to her, and who had for the
first time been made aware of her interest in
him, by hearing words which she supposed
went only to Heaven ! I knew then that the
night must pass away, and the morning come,
and that Belle must first leave the apartment
before I could venture to change even my po
sition.
Belle had lain perfeetlyTnotionless for sever
al minutes and was, I flattered myself, losing
herself in sleep, when Suddenly she exclaimed
to herself, “ There—l haven’t looked under the
bed.” A horror ran through me ; all is lost :
what should Ido ? Belle rose and I heard her
(ecling for the matches. She struck one and
was moving toward the gas light, when the lu
eifer went out, leaving all darkness again.
Blessed relief; but how brief ! Again I heard
her feeling for the matches and trying to light
one after another, as they failed to ignilo ; then
an “Oh deift*, there are no more!” escaped
from her lips. "Sate! safe!” whispered my
soul to me, and I thanked God in silence for
my deliverance. Belle groped back to the lied,
but did not immediately get in ; s!.e stooped
and lifted the curtains which hudg around the
bottom and cautiously passed her arm under
and around as far as it could reach. 1 almost
felt her lingers graze my face as I held myself
fearfully and silently hack against the wall, too
far, just too far for her reach. Apparently sat
isfled that no danger was near her, Hhe lay
down in the bed again, and I counted her res
pirations till she was lost in slumber.
As for myself, sleep was utterly out of the
question. I never was so wide-awake in my
life. How 1 lay upon that hard carpet aud
thought the night out!—thought, of her, and
her love tor me, thought of myself and my love
tor her. Yes, 1 was convinced from that mo
ment that the hand of destiny was in it, and that
a benign and all-wise Providence had seen fit
in this extraordinary way to open my eyes to
the path of happiness and peace.
With the morning light tresli fears came
upon me lest my unconscious room-mate might
yet peer beneath the bed.for robbers before she
left the room ; but my fears were groundless.—
She rose and dressed expeditiously, for she was
to join her cousins atari early breakfast, and
she had overslept herself. When nt last she
took the key, unlocked the, door and departed,
I lost no time In slipping out of my shameful
place of concealment and escaping from the
hotel. On the stairs I met Fred coming out of
his room, who exclaimed :
“ Why, what’s the matter with you, old fel
low ? You look like the last days of an ill
spent life. And your coat, too- why it’s all
over leathers and dust. Where have you
been ?”
“Why, 1 slept—slept out last night; that’s
all. Our house is full, and so I had to find
quarters elsewhere. I’m just going home to
dress.”
“ I should say so, decidedly. I see it all, old
fellow ! You’ve been on a lark, and had to put
up in the watch-house ; come now, own up and
tell us all about it.”
“ No lark at all, Fred ; nothing of the kind, 1
assure you.”
“ Well, it not a lark what kind of a bird was
it ? From the looks of the feathers 1 should
say it was a goose."
“ You're (tic goose, Fred. But seriously, I’ve
a word to say to you ot a. most important mt
lure. Be a man, Fred, and make up your mind
to hear something excessively disagreeable. It
must be told you sooner Or later, ami 1 may as
well tell it now.”
“Good Heavens, Gus! how earnest you look
at me; you don’t mean to say that—that any
thing has happened to Belle Bronson?”
“Don’t mention her name again, Fred, or
Itiiuk nl , fix
thing to you. I have it from one who knows
all about it, that stie has long been attached to
somebody else, and that somebody else
m&iius to marry her. There’s no mistake about
it; so bear up and try your luck elsewhere.”
But Fred Evans was was not to be discour
aged by mere hearsay. That very day he went,
to see Belle, determined lo know his fate irom
iicr own lips. Soon alter he left Oakville and I
did not see him again for several years, when,
meeting him in town one day, I insisted on
bringing him home with me and presenting him
to his old flame, Belle Bronson —the present,
Mrs. Evergreen.
“All, Fred!” said lie, after dinner, when my
wife and the little Evergreens had left us to
ourselves—“Ah, Fred, you served me a shabby
trick when you allowed me to lose my heart to
the girl you were all alo»g intending to marry
yourself—a very shabby trick, one of which I
never suspected you!"
So I had to tell him (in strict confidence, of
course, as I tell you reader,) all about the bed
room affair at the Oakville Hotel, and the love
that grew out ot it.
Wnat Sort of Stuff “ Rebels” are Made of.
The New York Day Book talks to the North
ern Radicals in the right strain, as will be per
ceived by its article below. It does not mince
matters, but flings hot shot into them as oltcn
as they present their rotten broadsides to him:
The lunatic and besotted tools, who call Jef
ferson Davis and others in the South rebels,
and fancy that they are going to render this
term infamous by continual iteration and reit
eration, will be regarded by the next generation
as even gr'eater fools than knaves, though it is
difficult to suppose them eclipsed in the latter
respect. Rebels, forsooth ! It is the noblest
word in language—in our present as well as in ,
our past history—and from the nature of
things, always will be, however fools and
knaves and the tools and toadies of despotism
may strive to dishonor it. Who are the rebels
in English history ? Why, the Ilampdens,
Cromwells, Russels and Sidneys, many ol
whom died on the scaffold, and at this moment
all intelligent men kuow that whatever there is
ot good in the English system, is the result of
the sacrifices and efforts of those illustrious re
bels. So in Scotland and Ireland—the Bruces
and Wallaces and Emmets and Fitzgeralds arc
the heroes of history—indeed, we only state a
simple historical truth that no loyal man is re
membered in history save for his crimes and
for the purpose of avoidance, as Alva, Jeffreys
and similar loyalists. Why, even our most
clamorous loyalists of this country, Ben Butler
or Joe Holt, would never presume to place the
loyal Arnold in the same category with the
rebel Washington, or Butler and his loyal ran
gers above the rebel Schuyler and Ids rebel fol
lowers —indeed, as observed from the the na
ture of tilings, rebels are the very salt of the
earth, and whatever may be the clamor of the
loyal for a moment, rebels are illustrious for all
time, lint it will be said that rebels to a Re
publican Government are altogether different
from rebels to European Governments. Is this
so? No names are-nothing, if the things
they represent are changed. When people
can't rebel against what was aud what purports
to be their Government, why the thing is
changed of course. Thus, if Abraham Lincoln
would agree to administer the true Government
of the States, Jefferson Davis and other would
not have been rebels, nor would Washington
and Adams, if Georgo 111 had done so. This
pregnaut truth this generation may not receive,
perhaps, but we believe they will—at all events,
whatever may be the seeming virtue of to-day,
Jefferson Davis aud his brother rebels are as
certain of posterity as Washington and all the
other rebels of history.
A Study of Egyptian Beiges.—Professor
linger, the Viennese botanist and paleontolo
gist, lias recently published soiqo remarks on
the bricks of the ancient Egyptians, especially
fhoso of the pyramid of Dashour, which was
built about i},400 years before our era. One of
them being examined through the microscope
by the professor, he discovered that the mud
of the Nile, out of which it was made, con
tained, not only a quantity of animal-vegetable
matter, but also fragments of many mamifac
tured substances, whence we may conclude
that Egypt must have enjoyed a high degree ot
civilization upward of 5,000 years ago. Pro
fessor Unger has been enabled, by the aid of
the microscope, to discover in these bricks a
number of plants which at that tiipe grew in
Egypt. The chopped straw clearly discernible
iu the body of the bricks confirms the descrip
tion of the manner of making the latter, such
as we find In Herodotus and iu the Book of
Exodus.
The Eldest Daughter at Home.—To be
able to get dinner, to sweep the room, to make
a garment, to tend a baby, would add greatly to
the list of a young lady’s accomplishments.
Where can we behold a more loyely sight than
the eldest daughter of a iamily, standing in the
sweet simplicity of her new womanhood, by
the side of her toiling care-worn 'mother, to re
lieve and aid her ? Now she presides at the
table, now directs in the jpteben, j>qw amuses
the fretting babe, now diverts half a score of
little folks in the library- She can asssist her
younger brothers in their studies, read the
newspaper to her weary father, or smooth the
aching brow of her fevered mother. Always
ready with a helpiug hand and a cheerful smile
for every emergency, she is an ougpl of Java
and a blessiug to the home circle. Should she,
be called out of it to originate a home of her
own, would she he any less lovely or self-sacri
ficing ?
Spooney Butler on the Stump.
IOW HE WAS RECEIVED BY THE GOTHAMITES.
A Radical Congressional ratification meeting
was held in t lie City Hall Baric Saturday, at
whicli Gen. Hiram VValbridge presided. A
large crowd coileeted, drawn together mainly
by the fact that General Butler was advertised
to speak.
The scene of confusion that ensued the mo
ment the Beast showed himself on the stand,
was indescribable. Cries of “Spoons,” “Put
him out,” “ How are you, cockeye ?” “We
don’t want to hear you,” mingled with groans
and hisses which completely drowned the
cheers of the frieuds of the meeting, came from
all sides, but more especially from the steps of
the City Hail. The police, under Capt. Brack
ett, used almost superhuman efforts to restore
order, hut notwithstanding some dozen or
twenty arrests were made, the uproar still con
tinued. Finally, after waiting quietly for the
noiso to subside, the General attempted to
make himself heard by those who were in close
proximity to ihe platform. He began liy say
ing :
Fellow-Citizens : The issue is now before
us, whether the men—[Cries of “Spoons”
“spoons,”]—who by force and fraud sought to
overthrow the country shall rule it—[Hisses
and groans and so much confusion that Butler
stopped speaking. J
Billy Wilson, of the First ward—Never
mind them, General, they will be taken care
of. There will be some broken heads here in a
few moments.
A voice on the platform, encouraging the
speaker—Go on, General. They are only cop
peril ends. [Groans, and cries of “Put him
out.” |
General Butler.—l said the issue before us
was whether the men who by force aiul fraud
sought to overlhrow the country shall control
its glorious destiny. [Groans, and three cheers
for John T. Hoffman, whicli were followed by
three cheers for “ Ben Butler” from around the
platform.]
General Butler [coolly picking his teeth with
a golden tooth pick,'and hiking quite compla
cently upon tlie crowd.] Very well, von have
taken your lime and I will lake mini'. [Cries
of “good, good.”]
A voice.—“ Three cheers for Governor Fen
ton,” responded to by mingled cheers aud
groans.
HE IS STRUCK WITH AN APPLE.
General Butler.—When this war was closed,
[erics of “spoons,”] when the last rebel in the
South had surrendered
At this juncture, some one in the crowd
throw an apple at the-speaker with unerring
preeisidn, striking him fair in the nbodominal
region, and bringing the speech to rather an
abrupt termination. The incident created a
good deal of excitement on the platform, hut
when Butler took the fruit in his hand and
coolly commenced eating it, and bowed to his
antagonist as though he had just been the re
eipient of a favor instead of an insult, he
brought the house down, and for a moment
there was a hotter feeling in Ihe crowd. But
it was only for a moment. Again the indigna
tion of the crowd broke forth in cheers tor
Hoffman and groans for Butler. Five minutes
irobably elapsed during which time General
ilutler continued eating his apple and waiting
for an opportunity to he heard.
ONCE MORE TO THE BREACH.
General Butler (straining his voice lo the ut
most so as to he heard,)—Since I have been
standing here, fellow-citizens, I could not help
remembering how much quieter these fellows
(pointing to the crowd on the City Hall steps)
were in 1864, when, instead ot having a traitor
at the head of the Government, they had. an
honest and true patriot, and when this city,was
under the care of a magistrate who could con
trol it.
Here there was another outburst of indigna
tion, and cries ot “spoons, spoons,” were heard
on all sides, winding up with three cheers for
Hoffman.
Voice on the plat Torn—Go on General.
General Butler—Oh, it is no use. They will
tire by-.ind-hy, I suppose. I am not a President
ora Vice President, that I want lo pander to
the vile prejudices of an angry crowd. Cries
of “spooqs, spoons,” “go home,” and loud
groans still interrupted the speaker. It uas
now half-past three o’clock, ancHlho speaker
had been fully twenty minutes in endeavoring
to obtain an audience.
THE OPPOSITION GET UP A MEETING.
The effort ty.prevent Gen Butler from being'
Hrairt wns, iftrrnr, siieropsiul. A sallow coni
plexioned individual on the steps of the .Cilv
Hall then addressed the meeting in favor of
Fox, the Democratic candidate for Congress
against Mr. Greeley, and for about ten minutes,
or so, General Butler was compelled to remain
silent.
t HORACE COMES TO Tnu RESCUE.
Horace Greeley, in despair at the gloomy
prospect, suggested to the Beast, as a last re
sort, that lie address the reporters and people
on the plat.orm. But the Beast was not going
to be intimidated, but was determined that
they should hear what he had to say.
THE BEAST SHOWS HIS TEETH.
Ho then continued his remarks amid great
confusion—hooting, yelling and hissing, con
cluding as follows :
Why, you poor fools, I have faced your su
periors in Baltimore and New Orleans ; 1 have
hung your betters, and if you do not behave
yourselves, I shall get the chance to do fin
same with you ; I have seen a great many more
than yon, with arms in their hands, and yet not
flinched. Do you suppose I shall flinch from
onion stinking breath ? A man who lias smelt
gunpowder can stand garlic. Do you think
that yon are the equal of the negro > On.no;
(lie negro is as immeasurably your superior as
heaven is above hell, where you will go to. I
do not certainly respect you, and you inay lie
quite sure I do not fear you. Men ol Five
Points ! bullies of the bawdy house ! thieves of
the lobby ! and burglars of the Tombs ! 1 sim
ply declare here, as the voice of this nation,
that you are not fit for the exercise of the elec
tive franchise, and in no better way than this
could you demonstrate the fact. 1 do not by
any means desire to bandy words with an ig
norant, foolish, excited crowd ; and 1 have only
used the few and well describing epithets in or
der that you may understand that I neither
love nor hate you, and that there is an end to
patieuce. No discussion—such as should gov
ern reasoning men—would profit here. I saw
at first that it was not to*l>e hoped, and 1 de
termined, after waiting iu vain for the men
who might perhaps lie but the incidents ol a
crown to withdraw, that if order could not he
restored, from that moment I would speak to
the men as they deserved, and in a lungu.vSc
which they could understand, because familiar
to them. General Butler then retired. A fee
ble attempt was made to cheer him, hut the
faint applause elicited was speedily drowned in
an overwhelming burst of hooting, yelling and
groaning.
“Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread.”—
The holy Sabbath has again returned, and with
it comes rest. The command of Jehovah to
labor six- days aud rest on flic Babbath, like
everything under the old Ilebriac dispensation
was built upon a necessity. With six days of
toil the wearied limbs, whether of man or of
lower animals, needed repose. All the obser
vances aud ceremonies of the Mosiae doctrine
were governed by an economy which rendered
them Indispensable. He, Moses, was the great
law giver, and his proclamations were for the
advancement, health and prosperity of his peo
ple. “Give ns this day our daily bread.” It is
a prayer peculiarly applicable to the Sabbath
On that day “thou ' shalt do no manner of
work.” And the command embraces servants
and the drudges among the domestic animals.
But it is the acknowledgement of the divine
protecting power which feeds the hungry,
clothes the poor, and rains down manna when
the heart siekeuetli in its hunger.
■‘Oh, lives there, heaven beneath thy dark expanse
One hopeless, itark, idolater of chance,
Who, mouldering earthward, relt of every trust
In joyless union, wedded to the dust,
Could all hts parting cnoryy dismiss,
And call this barren world sufficient bliss f”
It is the reliance, upon the goodness and he
uefleenco of Providence, that makes the high
est reach—the utmost, round of civilization.
Ignorance and superstition go along together,
and it is not the man who can read, and is con
versant with books, who is the least ignorant.
Upon some minds the rays of intellectual lib
erly never fall —a fearful blackness of a starless
niglit must reign forever there. Their hearts
may be filled with zeal, but the Almighty has
not revealed himself to tiictn. He inis not given
them their daily bread—nor have they partaken
of the true sacrament of the Lord. ' “Love ye
one another,” and be at pence with all, is the
injunction of Him who spake unto llis
“Heavenly Father” in intercession for man’s
sins. Do we follow His injunction ? fjo wu
not rather scramble to pluck advantage from
each other, and build treasures that are not “laid

The Sabbath Day.— I That day of rest, when
thought of toil and memory ot weariness
should not perplex and worry, is one of the
blessings of civilization and Christianity. It is '
a wise provision, and one ot those dispensa
tions, the original intentions of which is little
understood and appreciated. While the mind
is attuned to the sublime minstrelsy of devotion
the limbs that may have ached, or the brain
that may have grown dizzy with labor, are
enabled to regain their wonted elasticity by
repose. And then the sound of Sabbath bells !
What melody their music tells! How softly
and sweetly they chime their call to prayer l The
mind must indeed be obtuse which does not
echo their cadences, and thrill with an unkuown
but elevated feeling under the pathqs of their
! sounds. Should we not be grateful to God for
his beneficence, and should we not be willing
■ on bended knees to express that gratitude?
Hie to the churches then, of your favorite de
nominations, and pour out the libations of your
souls in songs of grateful praise.

terms that the preparation is a safeguard against epide •

bilious medicine, a promoter of appetite, a genial 1 1
harmless stimulant, a good acclimating
strengthener of tlie nerves, a general invigorant, a prj

pure water, and that it imparts a degree of vigor and at'
tivity to the vital forces which is not communicated U

these circumstances the seli-preservative law ol outtlPC
should teach every rational person who, either by reason
of inherent debility or in conseguenee of exposure to uo*

Dk. Magoiki. is the founder of a new Medical BysteiU
The quantitarians, whose vast internal doses enteebm

are fast superseding all the stereotyped nostrums of tfl

the (so called) remedies ol others, and upon which Peopg
have so long blindly depended. Maggiel s Bills are nef
