Those who would do so he calls madmen
and knarcs; while the nbolitlonists, he
calls by the cndsnring title Of aye braves ~
And. il appears, that the writer not only

Is Il rot evident that thc writer Of this

he would be exceedingly lucky. II is dae
to The community that they should know

And whit shall we think Of the editor OF

The Alpine Horn.

The A pine Horn is an instrument made of the bark of a cherry tree, and, like a speaking trumpet,is is used to convey sounds to great distance. When the last rays of the sun gild the summit of the Alps, the shepherd who inhabts the highest peak of these mountains, takes his horn and cries with loud voice-' Praised be the Lord.'' As soon as the neighboring shepherds hear him, they leave their huts and repeat these words. The sounds are prolonged many minutes, whilst the echoes of the mountain and grottoes of the rocks repeat the name of God. Imagination cannot picture any thing more solemn or sublime than such a scene. During the silence that succeeds, the shepherds bend their knees and pray in the open air, and then repair to their huts 10 rest. The sunlight gliding the tops of those stupendous mountains, upon the vault of which heaven seems to rest, the magnifi- cent scenery around, and the voices of the shepherds sounding from rock to rock the praise of the Almighty, must fill the mind of every traveller with enthusiasm and awe.

TIE EVIL EFFECTS OF CIRcuMsTANTIAL EvIDENcE.-A young printer named Chas. R. s. Boyington, who served his time in the New Haven Palladium, was hung in the year 1885. in Mobile. Alabama, upon a charge of having murdered companion with whom he was travelling. He protested most solemnly his innocence to the last; but without avail. About four years after the perpetralion of this deed, the landlord in whose house the murder was committed, confessed the crime upon his death bed. Boyington was a young man of fine talents, prepossessing appearance, whose guilt was deemed conclusive, only from the fact that dered man.

The March of Luxury.

It is said that American nabobsm is eclipsing the European noblesse in the mag nificence of it's entertainments. We hear of single soiree up town costing fifteen thousand doIars--of a party where one thousand dollars were paid for flowers, and of other like eXtravagances. The saloons of one splendid mansion are described as being decorated and furnished far more gor- geous y than the apartments assigned to Queen Victoria, al Versailles. Well, what of it? If some of our men of wealth choose 10 ape the splendor and exclusive airs of the priviiged classes abroad, whose business is it but their own? Midas has special license from the gods to wear the ears of an ass. We hear that rules of precedence are about to be adopted by our aristocracy, similar 10 those by which the grades of so- ciety are marked out and regulated abroad. Pork will yield to cotton, and cheese will take the wall of tobacco. ....

THE LOVE OF eHoME-It is only shallow minded -pretenders who make humble ori- gin matter of personal reproach. Taunt and scoffing at the condition of early life affect nobody in this country but those who are foolish enough to indulge in them, and they are generally sufficiently punished by the public rebuke. A man who is not ashamed of himself, need not be ashamed of his earl y condition,
 It did not happen to me 10 be born in a log cabin, but my elder brothers and sisters were born in log cabin-rased amid the snow-drifts of New Hampshire at period so early as that when the smoke first rose from its rude chimney, and cured over the frozen hills, there was no similar evidence of white mans habitation between 1t and the settlement on the rivers of Canada. Its remains still exist. make it an annual visit l carry my children 10 ii, to teach them the hardships endured by the genera tions which have gone before them. Hove 10 dwell on the tender recollections, the kindred ties, the early affections, and the narrations and incidents, which mingle with all 1 know of the primitive family abode. l weep to think that none of those who in- hablted it are now among the living; and if ever am ashamed of it, or if ever fail in aftectionate veneration for him who raised it and defended it against savage violence and destruction, cherished all the domestic virtues beneath its roof, and through the fire and blood of seven years revoution- arv war-shrunk from no toll, no sacrifice to serve his country, and to raise his chii- dren to better condition than his own may my name, and the name of my poster ity, be plotted forever from the memory of mankind !-Daniel Webster.
