DfFSGEHBA.NY,

The following beautiful poem was originally
rrbI,sbed in the Hartford Corfant, was written by
boy only twelve years old
Socrates Snooks, a Lord Of Creation,
A second time entered the marriage relaIloh'
Yontinpe Caloric accepted his hand
TSey thought him the happiest man in the land.
Ere the first waning honeymoon passed DER his
ors morning %S1i to Xantippe, Socrates said:
81 think for a man of my standing IN me-
This house is too small, as now have Il wile'
So as carly as possible, carpenter Cary
shall widen nv house, my barn, and my dairy
40 Socrates, deary," Aantppe replied,
81 hate to hear everything yulgarly mled'
Whenever a gentleman speaks to his bride,
He ought to say 'our,' and no pronoun beside;
So whenever you talk OF your chatlelS again. =,
Sav our dairy, our Ow-yard, and our pig-pen'
.,Nvith YOUR leave, Mrs. Snooks, will talk as l
please; -.-,.. ,,,,, ,,,os .,
s,Say our" the lady cried out in a rage;
s.I wont, Mrs. Suooks, though you ask me an
age
O. woman. though only u piece Of mans rib,
If the story in Genesis tells not Ho.
If your naughty companion ever quarrels with
You frequently prove the best man of the two.
In the following case, this certainly was true:
The lovely Nantippe just pulled of her shoe,
And laying about her on all sides at random,
The adage was verified, nil desperandum.
For Socrates Snooks, after trying in vain,
To ward of the blows which pattcd like rain,
Relieving that ''yalOr's best part was discTetion,'
Crept under the bed like a terrified Hessian.
But the dauutless Xantippe, not one whit afraid,
Converted the siege into blockade,
And when Socrates cried, Its so wearisomc
here"
She sweetiy replied, say sour, my dear"
At length when he'd reasoned the thing in his
pate,
He concluded twas useless to strive against fate,
And then like a tortoise proruding his head,
Said, 'may we come out from under our bed,
"Aha," said his wife. ''Mr Socrates Snooks,
see YOU accedc to my terms, by YOurlooks,
Tlllet YOU come out, and from this happy OUR,
ryou'll only obey me, I'll never look souri,

Having found them, he asked with few ner' Gus

THE EMPIRE OF JAPAN.


Japan is called by the natives, Nlphon, and
was founded about six hundred and siXty-tive
years before Christ, by Nimmu. From him
to Zinzakiug there appears to have been sixty |
one empcrors. After this period, in the year |
ll42, a change took place. From this time, |
a double chronology commences, including .
the reigns Of the Dearos and Cub0s. The De- |
arios were military officers and at one pc |
riod completely usurped the power Of the +
emperors Dut a general BY the name Of J ere .
timo being crowned, succeeded in depriyiug .

An INCIDENT, WITH A MORAL. For some
weeks past Says the New York Express OF
MondayI a long Indian tent has been standing
on the Western slope of Fox Hill, Hoboken,
the inmates Of which were au old Indian, his
squaw and a son. They are wanderers, we be-
Iipye, from some Canadian tribe, and came to
that neighborhood about two months ago On
Sunday last, the chief of the wlgwam, whahRd
been aling for some time, was gathered to the
Land Of his Fathers. A few days previously,
the squaw had set out for the State of Maine,
TO bring two children she has on the frontier,
to the tent, to see the old man before the Great
Spirit called him home; but her errand, alas!
it turned out, was undertaken too late The
scene at the tent, as soon as it was known the
Indian was dead was curious aud affecting.
The son sat mutely and mOodily on the
! ground, with his arms folded, and his eye sor.
| rOwfully fixed upon the corpse of his dead
! sire. 1t seemed strange to him that they
| should put the body into coffin, instead of
| ntCrring it after the manner OF his own Deo-
pie As soon as the body was carried away
! by the undertaken, the tent was ruthlessly
TifiGd Of most Of its contents, beads, baskets,
and other trinkets, the Indians had been max
ing for livelihood, by some pale faced vaga-
bonds in the vicinity, spite Of the remOn-
strances OF some kind hearted women, who,
W lLu JIlOhC JCuuCI uullldNG Impulses uaLiNc
to the sex, had all along been attentive to the
wants Of the dying stranger. The tent itself
was carried away even, leaving the surviving
Indian to make his bed on the cold, danp
earth with only the sky above for a covering.
And there he was sitting last night waiting,
in silent sorrow, the return Of his absent rela-
tive from her pilgrimage to the East. 1t was
a sad suggestive incident, the death of the lone
Indian on the hill. His epitaph is the epitaph
OF race in this region OF the country, once
all their own.
s.Alas, for them their day is oer,
Their fires are out from shore to shore;
No more for them their wild deer bounds
: The plough is on their hunting grounds,
The pale mans axe rings through their woods
The pale mans sails skim o'er their floods,
Their pleasant springs are dry;
Their children, look, by power Oppresseds
Beyond the mOuntaiRs of the West,
Their children go TO die.

A CRUcRIMoN.--Bonn, as probably many
Of our readers know, is a pretty little German
city Of some $4,000 inhabitants, beautifully
situated on the bonks Of the Rhine, twenty
miles above Cologne. 1t is the seat of
Prussiau University, which annually counts
more or less Of the scions of prineely houses
among rs students. PRINCE ALBERT was edu-
Gated there, and the heir apparent OF the Prus-
sian throne was lately recorded on the PeaefFS
books. There are two faculties OF Theology
connected with the institution, totally dis
tnct from each other-the Protestant aud the
Catholic faculties. Since the revolutionary
movements of 1889, the severity Of the Gov
ernment having driven the people from poll
tics their excitement is forced into other chan
ncls, and has taken, to great extent, a rell-
gious form. Enormous masses OF people are
to be met with in summer, in long procession,
under the guidance Of clergymen, bound to
the hundred holy places, where are carefully
preserved the wonder working relics OF CANON
lied Saints, long since mOldering in their
coffins. Very naturally, this excitement IS
in some cases carried to great extremes, and
we translate from the WeSHaiiSche Zeitnlg, a
remarkable instance of this character, which
lately occurred near Bonn, in the Beginning
Of August last
"a young theological student OF this place
lBonnj went ont to Godesberg, "a village some
four miles south of Bonn,) taking with HIM
four nails eight inches long a hammer and
file. Having dined at the Hotel Bltsner, he
walked out into neighbOring grove, sought
out tree, which bore some resemblance to a
cross and crucifed himself upon it, First he
nailed his feet fast to the tree, driving each
nail four inches into the tree. He then, after
driving a nail into the branch on the right,
and filing its outer extremity sharp, mailed
his left hand to the opposite branch: Having
thus fastened both feet and his lett hand to
his cross, he struck his right upon the sharp
oned nail The first attempt appears to have
been unsuccessful, as his hand was sadly torn.
Whether overcome by pain, he now called lor
assistance, OF that people by chance passed Dy;
it matters not; he was soon after found, tainted
away, hanging from the nails. As, however,
those who found him had no tools to draw the
nails from the tree, they cut it down and car
ried it into the village Of Godesberg. Here
he was separated from his cross, put on board
q steamboat, brought back to Bonn, and placed
in the hospital, where he lies in talr way OF
recovery The writer gives the physician who
attended him as his authority, aud adds thai
the facts are well known throughout the city.

DOUBTFUL THEOLOGY friend, whom we
shall call Pat "for short, tells us a good one
upon himself.
"When but an idle boy" he was called up
one day in a country school, and the question
suddenly propounded by the podagogue:
Patrick, how many Gods are thereF'
Pat was not distinguished theolOgian then,
and years have made him mo better very fast"
in such matters; but he pompously responded:
Three, sir.
"Take your scat!' thundercd the master;
''and if in five minutes you don answer cor
rCctly, lwelt you.
The probationary period passed, aud Pat
taking the floor, hesltatingly stated the mum
Der OF gods at Give, sir" He received the
promised ''wCltng, and a remand TO his scat
for ten minutes further consideration.
Ten minutes up Pat was up too, and salts
fled that he hadn fixed the matter sufficient
ly high before, he shouted:
"There's ten, sir.'
lie saw the ferulG descending, and bOlting
out Of the door, cleared five-rail fence, and
broke like quarter horse across the fields
Painting with eXeItion, he met a lad with a
book under his arm, and with the look Of one
who desired the pursuit Of knowledge under
difficulties"
"Where arc you goiug?' said Pat.
"To school, Wonder, was the reply.
" You are, are you?' said Pat, quickly
Chow many gods are there2"
"Two," answered the boy.

Tile passion for lightning rods, which dis,
tinpuishes our New England brethren, has
waRed up an opponent in the last Home jour
nal According to him, every house in Mas
sachusetts has from 6 to 40 conductors of
electricity'' bristling aboutits roofs and stand
inc sentry over its chimney -pots-and all for
w6at2 to guard against lightning-an article
that would not, il entirely left TO itself, strike
one house out Of ten thousand. He thinks the
man who takes all this trouble to guard against
the electrical element" should 90 a step
farther, and, to protect his house from a con-
fIagration that may burst out at some futnre
neriod of the world, hire fire engine, with
sts customary accessories Of noisy boys and red
flannel shirts, to continually occupy one end
Of the porch, or be always on hand in the door
ward. The admirers of Emerson and Shang-
hai fowls will please notice.
4 Contemporary says that there are two
evils which have greatly increased in this city
within the past few yoars-One is bilious fever
and the other mosquitoes. About the bilious
fever we can t speak from experience, but we
certainly plead guilty to the mosquitoes. On
| Friday night we were so annoyed by them
| that we had to take refuge in potash kettle,
and covered ourself up with the cellar door.
To keep up a supply Of fresh air, we played a
zepharina hornpipe on a bellows. Persons
similarly situated will please notice.
