THE HEIGHT oE IMpuDENcE.--A young
spark who boarded at one of our principal To-
tells, managed for long time by one artifice or
another, to postpone the payment of his bill.
At last the landlord became quite impatient,
and stepping up to his Juvenile boarder, slap
ped him gently on the shoulder, and asked him
for some money. Il have not red cent about
me at present" was the laconic reply. "But,
my dear sir" said the landlord, Il cannot af-
ford to keep boarding house without being
paid" "Well, d--n it" exclaimed our young
philosopher. aIf you cannot afford it, sell out

Music IN EvERYTHING-The elements of

music are in everything around US: they are
found in every part of creation-in the chirpng
of the feathered choristers of nature, in the
voices or calls of various animals, in the mel
anchoy sound of the waterfall or the wild roar
of the waves, in the hum Of the distant multi
tudes or the conclusion of sonorous bodies, in
the winds alike when the dying cadence falls
lightly on the ears as itagitates the trees ofthe
forest as when the hurricane sweeps around.
All these contain the rudiments of harmony,
and may be easily supposed to have furnished
the minds of intelligent creatures with such
ideas of sound as time and the accumulated OBJ
servatorlaof succeeding ages could not fail to
improve into system.

The Two Roads.

1t was New Years night An aged man
was standing at a window. He raised his
mournful eyes towards the deep blue sky,
where the stars were floating like white lilies on
the surface of a clear calm lake. Then he
cast them on the earth, where few more
hopeless beings than himself now moved to-
wards their certain goal--tEe tomb. Already
had he passed sixty Of the stages that lead to
it, and he had brought from his jaurney moth
ing but errors and remorse. His health was
destroyed, his mind vacant, his heart sorrow
ful, and his old age devoid Of comfort. The
days of his youth rose up in vision before
him, and he recalled the solemn moment when
his father had placed him at the entrance Of
two roads, one leading into a peaceful, sunny
land, with SOFT sweet songs; while the other
conducted the Wanderer into 4 deep, dark
cave, whence there was no issue, where pol
son flowed instead Of water, and where SER
pents hissed and crawled.
He looked towards the sky, and cried out
in his agony
"Oh, youth return! Oh, my father, place me
once more at the entrance to life, that | may
choose the better way!"
But the days of his youth and his father had
both passed away. He saw wandering lights
floating far away over dark marshes, and then
dsappear-these were the days Of his wasted
life He saw a star fall from heaven and va
nish in darkness. This was an emblem of
himself and the sharp arrows of unavaiing re-
morse, struck him to the heart. Then he re-
membered his early companions who entered
on life with him, but who having trod the paths
of virtue and of labor, were now happy and
honored on this New Years night
The clock in the high church tower struck,
and the sound falling on his ear, recalled his
parents early love for him, their erring son;
the lessons they had taught him; the prayers
they had offered up in his behalf. Over
wheImed with shame and grief, he dared no
longer look towards that heaven where his
father dweIt; his darkened eyes dropped tears,
and with one despairing effort he cried aloud,
"Come back, my early days, come back"
And his youth did return; for all this was
but dream which visited his slumbers on
New Years night. He was still young his
faults alone were real. He thanked God fer
venty that time was still his own, that he had
not yet entered the deep, dark cavern, but that
he was free to tread the road leading to the
land where the sunny harvests wave.
Ye who still linger on the threshold of life,
doubling which path to choose, remember that
when years are past, and your feet stumble
on the dark mountain, you will cry bitterly,
but cry in vain--"Oh youth, return! Oh, give
me back my early days !'-Househola Words.

A BOLD ED1roR.-The editor ofthe Caddo
Gazette has the temerity to perpretrete the
followingI
sWe announce to candidates for office that
the fee for announcing their names will, with
out regard to persons, be required invariably
in advance. 1t is scandal to humanity, but
it is nevertheless true, that many persons after
the election wish the printer at the devil.

An Old Adage Falsifed.-Tae saying thai
you cannot make silk purse of a sow's ear, is
almost falsifed by juggler named Rosco, in
London, who will stand in an isolated position
before his audience, holding Guinea pig in
his hand, which he crushes BY degrees, the pig
and his squeel growing beautifully less, until
nothing remains but silk purse filed with
guineas. Where the pig goes to, and how the
guineas appear in his place, while the conjuror
stands in a tight dress, and with no visible con-
neetion with any thing but the door, is the
wonder--[N Y. Ersning Post. -.

MosT AMUSING SToRY.-We have all heard
of the blundering lrshman, who directed his
letter simply "To my brother Felix, in Ameri-
ca" thinking doubtless that every body must
know his brother Felix, and that his letter could
not miss; but letter recently received at the
French General Post Office beats all. We
find the story in letter from correspondent
of the N Y. Express, and we call it funny:
A letter was dropped in the Paris Office, d.
rected thus: "1'o my Mother, France" The
distributors and subordnates, not knowing
what to make of so laconic an address, re-
it possible that there's such fool in France"
mused that officer 'if there is, he must come
from the Loir ct Cher: for that's the depart
mother must live" So the letter was forward
ed to the Loir ct Cher The clerks and post
men, being as puzzled as their brethren in Pa
ris, handed the missive to the chief officer of
the district. "Now, is it possible said he,
"that there's such fool in France, if there is,
he must be resident of the Commune of Car
casson, where all the fools come from-his
mother must live there" The postmaster at
Carcasson was as much astonished as he of Pa
ris at the stupidity of the writer, but Ultimate
" concluded that if there was such fool in
France,it could be no other than Jean Brain
sappy, whose mother lived in little brown
house on the corner. The latter was sent to
Mrs Brainsappy, and turned out to be in real-
ty from her affectionate son Jean. The French
postal revenue was increased five cents by this
act Of perseverance, in tracing up "My Mother ,
