“ How the mighty have Fallen.” —An
rv member of our late, legislature on
visiting a neighboring village near
Mail ison, became very mtieh excited
over the result of the late New Ilamp
shire, election, and wishing to keep up
his I aging spirits, threw himself on
the outside of something less than a
gallon of Itenzine, and on wending his
way liomcw3fd,wilh a 'small amount of
rations in the shape of cheese and
crackers, “Jell I>w the wayside” and
was soon in t lie'u*ns of “Morpheus.”
Falling one of his neigh
bors was nj,-the habit of feeding hogs,
and a few of the swine still lingering
aroyud the spot, was attracted by the
cheese and crackers (and not by the
smell of the ex-meiuber or benzine,)
soon got to jXfotiiig him pretty rough
ly, and disturbing his gen tie dreams of
nine dollars per day, reaching out and
catcliine one ot.lhe hogs by the snout,
in a half audible tone, said, “I’sfor

Hymenial and Dogmatical.— On the
erenijgfNlf tlmlate election, while there
was at the jplls a large
crowd, a colored youth of some eigh
teen summers and a maiden of deeper
hue, with some teeth in her lower
jaw, presented "themselves, and with
becoming modesty, though the bride
was not seen to blush, and stated that
‘they wajited to be jiiJd.” They
were informed that license was the
first necessity, and the bridegroom
said that be would take a pair if the
*.Tudge woulcl. credit him for a short
time.. A minister was, called, Judge
W., with accustomed dignity, placed
the parties m proper i>osition and the
ceremony began: “ Dearly beloved,
etc.,” “ If there be any person present
who knows any just cause why these
two slioykt not be joined togthcr, let
tthem now speak or hereafter hold
their peace.” There was a pause, it
was, to the waiting couple, a supreme
moment, but presently there was heard
iir the direction of the door a low
hoarse growl; instantly all eyes were
turned, ail’d the notorious Nick, in re
gard to whose courage there has here
tofore boon a diversity of opinion, was

of the canine genus. With a bound
the combatants rushed together and
snapping, snarling and tearing eacli
others hide, they rolled over and over,
around and among the feet and legs
of the spectators, many of whom
sprang upon chairs and tables, to get,
as they said, a better view of the
scene. Long the scale of battle seem
ed equally balanced, but at length
victory decided in favor of Nick.—
The intruder was ejected and the
solemn ceremony was resumed; the
bystanders out of respect to the occa
sion, endeavoring to repress their ris
ing emotion. Finally the verbal cere
mony was ended and the happy man
was informed that he must salute the
bride. Gazing fondly upon Ler, he
threw his arms around her and there
was heard reverberating through the
hall a smack, and the scene closed.

Good Templars are increasing in

A second Sail Domingo job has
adroitly developed itself in the Senate.
A resolution was introduced in that

Democratic Rooster. — The New
York Herald's Concord, N. 11., cor
lcspoudent, giving an account of the
Democratic rejoicing in tiiat city,
says:
A live rooster was one of the comi
cal features on the platlorm, and just
as the President of the meeting com
menced his address, the huge bird ad
vanced to the front, flapped his wings
and gave a crow which echoed again
and again through the hall. The in
cident had the effect to produce round
after round of applause, and.tlie speak
ers all took occasion to allude to it
as a favorable omen to the cause of
democracy.
Shall We Meet Again?
The following is said to be one c f
the most brilliant articles ever writteu
by the late George D. Prentice:
“But the late ol nature is inexorable.
There is no appeal of relief from the
great law which dooms us to dust.—
We flourish and fade as the leaves of
the forest, and the flowers that bloom
and wither for a day have no frailer
hold upon life than the mightiest mon
arch that ever shook the earth with his
tootsteps. Generations of men will ap
pear and as the grass, and the countless
multitudes that throng the world to
day will to-morrow disappear as the
footsteps on the shore. Y
“Men seldom think ofthegreat event
of death until the shadow falls across
their own path, hiding from their eyes
the traces of loved qges, whose living
smiles were the siiulight of their exist
ence. Death is the great antagonist
of life, and the cold thought of the
tomb is the skeleton. at all feasts. We
do not waut to go through the dark
valley, its passage may lead
to paradise; and with Charles Lamb,
vve do not want to[ lie down in the
grave even with kings and princes for
our bod fellows.
“In the beautiful drama of lon, the
instinct of immortality, so eloquently
uttered by the death devoted Greek,
finds a deep response in every thought

Messrs. Brat>fieu» A Co.—Gentlcimn:
You will please ship us another supply of
your invaluable Female Regulator, and for
ward biff per mail.
AVc are happy to state that this remedy
gives better satisfaction than any article we
sell. We have been selling it since 1868,
and witnessed many remarkable cures by
it. Among others, there was a lady friend
of ours who was sallow and sickly until she
was twenty-six years old, at which age she
married; her husband lived two years and
died; she continued in had health; in fact,
she has never been what a woman ought to
lie. A few months after the death of her
husband, she saw your advertisement and
came to our store and ljought a bottle of
your Regulator from us, and took it accord
ing to directions. It has cured her sound
and well, brought her regular monthly pe
riods on, and to-day she is a hearty, bloom
ing widow, with the use of but two bottles
of your Regulator, consttng her only three
dollars, when she had tried several physi
cians and spent a great deal of money with
out any benefit.
Wishing you great success with your
valuable remedies, we are respectfully,
yours, etc. W. ROOT & SONS.
