grease to comply with the wishes of the
other. know all how the matter hes, my
friends. When young fellow and girl
love each other sincerely and truly, all
they want is satisfaction, as the duellist
says. Well, after they have been marri-
ed month or two they get satisfaction
and yet for all this they are more dissatis-
fed than ever. Instead Of holding on to
each others hands while travelling down
life's slippery road, they sometimes sepe-
rate, and one falls into one ditch. and the
other into the other, where they lie unno>
ticed by the world and hardly recognized
by the hogs.-Thus discord dwells in the
habitation of Hymen, and slackens every
concordant string Of the human heart.
My hearers-If you would like to be
more particularly informed of the original
home of Discord, can only say this, that
the monsters native place is said to be far
away on the frontiers of the Internal Res
gions, near that dark and gloomy shore
upon which the waves of the Chaos dash
their snlphuric brine. Here, high upon a
craggy cliff that received the mighty thun-
ders on its front and never lodged a.light-
ming, was the 6end originally bound by an
enormous brazen chain. She used some
times to set up such hideous yells that the
tide dared not come in for eight and forty
hours and Night would even turn pale
with fear. She had "a thousand ugly
mouths, and each mouth had twenty clam
orous tongues.-She would tear her own
entrails with her wild cat claws, and pull
the snaky hair from her horrid head. The
breath which she belched forth caused
whirlwinds, tornadoes and tempests and
her fierce glazing eyes looked like coup
lie of fiery comets burning in their bloody
circles. A thousand lesser monsters waged
war around her, and kept up a continual
hubbub, to the everlasting annoyance Of
the demons of darkness that slept in the
dungeons of death below. This terrible
creature, Discord, my friends, in fit of
distraction at last broke loose, and went
all over the world with the speed of de-
tached locomotive under a full Roadway
of steam, snd has ever since been kicking
up dust along the highway of mans So
cial peace and the only way TO tame her
impetuous spirit is to play her some gen.
tie air upon the harp of fraternal love. in
strain of Christian meekness. This a.
lone can subdue her; if you have mind
to try it I'll bet you years salary to a
tin six-pence that harmony, love and bro.
therly kindness will prevail, where now
discord, death, and the devil bear sway.
My friends-you may disagree, dispute,
and wrangle as much as you see fit, but
it will be only a little time longer. You
may separate from your partners, your
families, and from each other; hut you
must recollect that you must ere long be
brought to focus in that narrow tene>
ment, the grave, where black and white,
friends and foes, amalgamate indiscrimin>
ately. Be prepared then for the doom,
and behave yourselves like rational be.
ings to whom the hope is given of a fairer
and better world, where all is harmony
and love, and where discord never can en-
ter. So mote it be! Dow, JR.

WAsurseroS, April l6, 1871.
President Tyler removed from his late lodgings at
Browns Hotel, to the executive Mansion yesterday
and held the first Cabinet Council that had mel
there since the death OF Gen. Harrison.
1t is customary, on the occasion OF new rresi
dent to take an inventory Of all the articles of fur

This seems to be equally due to the public the Pref

panied by the commissioners Of Public Buillngs,
ond by Col. Copeland anl Mr.. b. Harrison, Jr. on
the par, of the late Presidents family took this
veGtary.
Mrs. Harrison, and the ladies who have been
with her here, leave here TO morrow. 1t will be
gratifying 10 The public to learn that the Secretary
ofwar intends TO place the two grandsons Of Gen.
Harrison [both ofwhom are latheress) at Wcsl
Point as soon as they are of,he proper nge. One of
these is the son of the amiabe and accomplished lady
who presided at The White House during the Gen.

General Harrison that he should receive the adyan-

iniconncction with this ohjec, Of the heart, may
mention the following anecdetc, Illustrative Of
the good nature which characterized the intercourse
between General Harrison aud Mr.. Van Buren,
during the brief sojourn Of the former here previous
to the Inauguration,
At their first interview, after conversation dis
tingushed by great good humor on the part of Mr..
Van Buren,, aud more than his usual vyacity on
the par, of General Harrison, the latter said an T.

Mr. Van Buren promptly replied that it would give
him peculiar pleasure to do But it was found
that the youth lacked months OF lhe age requi-
led by the regulation of the department. The plan
was therefore frustrated.

Use of Sail.

Nature it seems, has most beautifully supplied
every portion of the globe with this great necessary
OF life. Yet strange as it may appear the virtues Of
Salt are comparatively but liuls known. Farmers
and Others pay too little attention in calling their
cattle, &c. II is seldom, indeed they get half as
much as they should have. Cattle, upon the salt
marshes are said to be immeasurably superior TO
almost any other. in sire. In England, where the
breeding fane cattle has been carried TO q degree
of perfection bu, little known to many Of our far
mers, they give their cattle as much salt as they
may want. The salt is kept in the field, to which
at any time they have ready access. Nothing we
think more conducive to health, than the free use
of salt. As connection OF nausea and bad breath
arising ftom foul stomach, nothing can be better
than little salt taken before going to bed. Ifpeo-
pie could he induced to deal less in quaek medicines
and more in smples, they would have less occasion
for doctors and their nostrums.
