HOME Observation-Disclosures does not
commence with the alphabet. It begins with
mothers look-with fathers nod of appro-
baton, or sign of reproof-with sisters gen.
tie pressure Of the hand, or brothers. noble
act Of forbearance- handfnls of flowers il,
green, daisy meadows--with birds nests, ad-
mired but not touched--with creeping ants and
almost imperceptible emmets--with humminp
bees and glass bee-hiyes--with pleasant walks
and shady lanes--and with thoughts directed
in sweet and kindly tones and words to nature,
to beauty, to acts Of benevolence to deeds of
virtue, and to the source of all good, to God
himself.

The EXILE KossUTH.-The shores of the
Mediterranean will re-echo the shouts Of Free
dom, when it is announced that Kossuth, the
Hungarian hero, will in all probability be car
ried from his asylum in Turkey to the United
States, there to take rank among people who
have enrolled his name among their fondest re-
collections, and who hold up to their children
the example furnished in his model character
and sublime patriotism.

PEACE WITH ALL THE WoRLD.-This glori-
GUS sentiment received noble expression in
the following resolution, introduced by the
unanimous consent Of the Committee on Fo-
reign Relations of the Senate of the United
States
aWhereas, Appeals to the sword for the de-
termination of national controversies, are al
ways productive of immense cost; and whereas,
the spirit and enterprises Of the age, but more
especially the genius of our own government,
the habits Of our people, as we'll as the claims
of humanity, the dictates Of enlightened rea-
son, and the precepts Of our holy religion, all
require the adoption of every feasible measure,
consistent with national honor and the security
Of ourTghts, to prevent, as far as possible, the
recurrence OF war: Therefore
Resozued, That, in the judgment Of this body,
it would be proper and desirable for the GO
vernment of the United States, whenever prac-
tcable, to procure in its treaties with other
nations, provision for referring to the de-
cision of umpires, all future misunderstanding
that cannot be satisfactorily adjusted by ami
cable negotiations in the first instance, before
a resort to hostiities be had"
Mr.. Foote stated that he offered this pre-
amble and resolution by the cordial and unani-
nous vote Of the committee, and added that he
presumed the Senate would, on due considera-
tion, adopt it without objection.
The above is in response to various petitions
from peace societies, and is measure SO rea-
sonable, SO practicable, SO important, as to CON-
mend itself to every rejecting mind. .as

BY QUIZ.

"John, bound the State of Matrimony"
"Fhe State of Matrimony is bounded on the
North by Solitude, on the East by Double
trouble. on the South by Sore -shins, ON the
West by Vexation."
"What are its chief products ~
"pcevish babies, scolding wives, henpecked
husbands, smoked coffee, burnt hams, and sour
pies"
"What is said of its climate q
"It has more variant temperature than that
of any other State in existence In that por-
ton of called the Honeymoon the climate is
salubrious and healthy-the atmosphere laden
with the sweets of the flowers of Hymen. In
ing cold reception when they expect most
warmth, and in some other parts there is all
the burning sensation of the torrid zone.
Sometimes fellows house, in the state of
matrimony, gets too hot to hold him, and
strange to say, he travels we'll with all speed,
not to, but from poles, where cold is generally
supposed to exist
'Sarah has John given correct outline, of
the State of Matrimony ?'
"Cant say, sir-never was in that State,
Bill Simpkins gave me IN invitation the other
day to travel in it with him, and when return
III answer the question"
"Well, Sarah, as you seem to be ignorant in
geography, I will examine you in grammar.
Take the sentence, marriage as civil contract
Parse marriage"
Marriage is a noun, because it's name.
And though Shakespeare asks what's in a
name and says that a rose by any other name
would smell as sweet, yet marriage being
noun, and therefore, name shows that the
rule established by the Bard of Avon has at
least one exception. For marriage certainlyis
of very great Importance, and being a noun,
and therefore a name, ergo there is something
in a ndme.'
"Good We'll, what is the case of mar
rage! 90
"Don't know, sr''
"Decline it, and see."
"Don't feel at liberty to decline marriage af-
riage after having made Bill the promise l
have. Had rather conjugate."
"Jane, can you tell Sarah in what case mar
risge is!"
"les, sir, it's very common case, and
would not care if it were 4 little commoner.
And s'pose Sarah WON'T be married a week
before it's in the printers case"
"CaD you decline marriage!"
Jane blushed extremely, and answered -
sHad rather not, sir"
swell, Sarah, what person is marriage? %
"Second person, sir, because the person you
speak to is the one who is going to marry"
"What number is marriage?"
"Piural number now, sir, because Bill and
are two at the present time. When the parson
ties the knot, marriage will then be singular,
because the Bible says that twain shall be one
flesh"
"What gender is marriage?"
sCommon gender, because either male or fe-
male may get married.
"Does marriage govern anything, or does it
agree with something's g
Both, sir. 1t governs both mankind and
womankind, and as to agreeing, it agrees with
the world and the rest Of mankind
aGiyeyour rule"
.My rule that Bill shan't grumble if l buy
two silk dresses year, and he shant have but
one teaspoonful of sugar to two cups of cof-
Fee"

THE Moon AND THE WEATHEg.-sVulgar
errors are fast disappearing in the electro mag
netlc century: but there is one which it seems
almost impossible to eradicate, namely, that
the weather is influenced in some mysterious
manner b. the moon. You turn up your nose
at your butcher when he tells YOU that the
flesh of an animal killed in the wane of the
moon will shrink from the bone while cook
ing; and you sneer at the farmer who speaks of
putting in his seeds, with similar pleasantly
OF reference-and yet,
