CLEANLrNEss.--Keeping the body clean
IS OF great importance, since more than
one.half what we eat and drink is evacu-
ated by prespiration, and if the skin is
not kept clean the pores are stopped, and
prespiration consequently prevented, to
the great injury of health It is highly
necessary TO the health and cheerfulness
Of children; for when it is neglected, they
grow pale, meagre, and squalid, aud sub
ject TO several loathsome and trouble
some diseases. Washing the hands, face,
mouth and feet, and occasionally the
whole body, conduces TO health aud ease,
and tends to prevent colds, rheumatism,
cramps, the palsy, the itch, the toothache,
and many o;her maladies. Attention TO
cleanliness Of body would also lead to
cleanliness in regard to clothes, victuals,
apartments, beds, and furniture. A
knowledge Of the mephtic gasses, of the
necessity Of pure atmospheric air to
health and vigOr, and of the means by
which infection is produced and commu-
nicated, would lead persons to see the
propriety Of frequently opening doors
and windows to dissipate coEsumpted air,
and to admit the refreshing breeze; Of
sweeping cobwebs from the corners and
ceiling ofthe room, and ofremoving dust,
straw, or filth ofany kind which is often
sve 10 the smell, and in which infection
might be deposited. BY such attention,
fevers and other malignant disorders
might be prevented, vigor, health and
serenity promoted, and the whole dwell
ling and its inmates present an air of
cheerfulness and comfort, and become
the seat ofdomestic felicity.-DicL's Es-
Says.

The plant whose mystic properties arc most po-
tent in discovering tho sincerity oflovers, is the
St. Johns Wtrt, and is thus introduced In a
quaint little poem from the German:
''Ths young maid stole through the cottage door,
And bushed rs she sought the plant of power,
"Thou silver glow worm oh lend me thy light,
must gather tho mystic st, Johns Wort to-
night
The wonderful herb whose leaf will decide
II tho coming year shall make me bride.
And the glow worm came
With its silver frame,
And sparkled and shone
Through the night of ST, John,
And soon has the young maid her love not tied.
With noissloss tread
To hOrchamber she sped,
Whsro the spectral moon her white beams she'd;
BLOW ore, blow here, thou plant of power,
To deck the young bride in her bridal bower,
But II dropped its head that plant of power,
And 1t died the mute death of ths voiceless
flower,
And wlthored leaf OFT the ground it lay,
More ht for buaal than bridal day.
And when year was passed away,
All palc on her bier tho young maid lay,
And the glow worm came
With Its SILVER frama,
And sparklu1 and shone
Through the night Of ST. John,
And they closad tho cold grave DER the maids

DELAyEDYJUsTICE.

An instance has Just occurred at the West
which strongly shows the truth Of the adage that
justice, though slow, is sure. Patrick Connelis-
Ky, was few days SINCE arrested at Buffalo, as
fugitive from justice under very singular cir
cumstanees, which are stated as follows, in the
Buffalo Commercial Advertiser:
in 1886, gentleman Of this city was returning
from a business tour in the west, aud while tar
rying at tavern in Toledo, his trunk was riisd
of $50 dollars, part of which were in post no tes
on Detroit bank. At the time OF the robbery,
suspicion fell heavily upon porter employed at
the tavern, and brother to the lad now in custo-
dy. So inceneed were the Toledo people at the
audacity of the theft, that they took tis fellow
to the river, where he was ducked several times,
but TO nOpurposs-he PERSISTED in his innocence,
and was allowed 10 depart.
A gentleman who lodged in the room with the
BIffalo merchant, was also suspected. No sub
sequunt act, however, confirmed this conjecture,
but, on the contrary, from What has transpirsd,
within few months, the accusation must have
been totally unfounded.
The person who lost the money made every ex-
ertion to ferret out the thief but in vain, and it
was given up for lost.
After lapse Uf two years, an occurrence took
place which threw some light upon the matter
and again renewed the hope that the robber
would be detected. 1t seems that the none
was actually stolen by the porter, taken home 10
his fathers house, and buried several months
and that deeming all suspicion put at rest, the
old man began to purchase land with the aeails
of his son's 'niquity. An 80 acre tract was
bought, aud all the installments paid except one
hundred dollars.
This was just previous to the suspension of the
banks. At this time the father had left for the
seaboard, preparatory to taking passage for Ire
land, whithor he was going for the other members
of the family. One of the sons, apprehcnsive that
the bills would depreciate in value, vent to the
owner Of the land, and although the last payment
was not due for months, rendered the balance on
the original bank, provided it would be tEken al
par This was acceded to, and the amount paid
over. The circumstances and psculiarity of the
transaction created suspicion in he mind of the
land holder, which induced him to fathom the
matter, and he became satisfied that these per-
sons were in possession Of the 1900.
Information was Immediately given to the au-
thorities, which resulted in finding indictments
orthe whole family, even to the aged mother,
who is now in the penitentiary for an attempt
to aid her son 10 escape from prison. The i'm
mediate cause which led to the Indictment oi
the brother now in this city, was the finding Of
800 dollars in coin upon him, which he had sto-
len from his father, and which s supposed to be a
portion Of that stolen from the Bufialonian.
Connelisky was committed to prison, there ia
await the requisition Of the Governor of Michi-
Chigan,

In his letter to the Hon. Jos. L. VIII

the National IntelligenCer, General HAIR
RIsON says:
san the connection which ] have ever
had with the Corresponding Committee
of the Wings of Hamilton county, (that
which Isuppose had been alluded toy is,
that | requested the committee, through
its chairman, Major Gwynne, 10 give the
information sought for, in some of the
numerous letters l received, in relation
to my political opinions, and events in
my past life.
Now see what he says in his speech at
Columbus, Ohio, short time afterwards,
viz:
81 have no committee, fellow-citizens,
confidential or other. 1t is true that |
employed my friend Major Gwynne to
aid me in returning replies 10 some of
the numerous questions plopounded to
me by letters. But TO such only as any
man could answer, one as well as anoth-
eF.
"But it seems that Major Gwynne was
chairman of committee of the citizens
Of Cincinnati or of Hamilton county
When the famous Oswego letter was re-
ceived, it was read, and as usual with
such letters, | endorsed it and handed it
to Major GWynne. But it seems, when
the answer was prepared, it was signed
also by his colleagues of the county or
city committee. Of all this knew moth
ing-nor-i in their capacity Of committee,
had they any thing to do with my let
ters."
In his letter the General says he ere
quested THE COMMITTEE, through
its chairman, MAJ. GwYNNE, to give the
Information sought for in some of the nu-
n,eroUS letters / receiped." In his sp ,ech
he says: "Of all this | knew nothing

THE Fashions.

A CHAPTER FOR THE EXauIaITEs.
Tho London Times contains a lettor from St.
Petersburg 70 q friend Of tho writer in London,
giving tho details Of an Incident somewhat laugh,
able, though, porhapa, not wanting In gravity of
consequences. IL is stated, that some years
sinee, His Majesty, the great autocrat of all the
Russias, issued an ordinance against "the adop.
tion of goats Jepish or French 6eard's," by his
subjects, Two young noblemen, who hao Just
returned from the tour Of Europe Ii November,
presented themselves to pay their homage to ,he
Emperor. One ofthem had beard which dis
pleased him exceedingly. The other was more
unfortunate, his face being adorned after the
fashion Of the English Charles ! He wore mus
tachios, and an imperial iuft on his chin. This
was too much for the Emperor, He rushed upon
the offender, seized him by the tuft, and shook
him violently by II, nor released him till ho had
torn part of itby the roots from the young
mans face. The young noblemau, smarting I'M
der bodily pain, and sense Of the indignily, re-
tired with his friend, and both demanded pass
ports to withdraw from the empire, but both were
refused, and compelled to live in retirement on
their estates near Moscow.
How fortunate for the young gentlemen Of our
country, who cultivate, NJ great expense OF time
and labor, the tufts which adorn their chins, and
make them resemble goa Is more than human be-
ings, that we have no autoerat to pluck out those
ndire 6tgustes by tie Fools - SatUnS~- ra,srier.l
