FATAL RESULT OF GAMBLING The
weekly report of deaths last week, re-
cords one suicide. The victim was q

he had done, but in order to prevent her
sending for physician, he assured her
that he had not taken sufficient guam
tity Of laudanum to kill him. 1t was
not long, however, before the mother as
csrtained that she had been deceived.
A physician was sent for, but the fatal
drug had done lis work. Notwithstand-

life OF the young man, he died before

GUS to his death, the deceased had been

Ohio in October the Wings elected their

Gen. Cass received 10000 votes more

BAYARD TAYLOR, in his last letter, da-
ted at Aleppo, estimates, at a rough
guess, the population of that city, thus ::
Turks and Arabs, 10000; Christians,
$4,000; Jews, 10000; dogs, 10000; cats,
5000. He mentions a hospital for cats,
founded long ago, by rich, cat.loving
Mussulman, which is one of the best en-
dowed institutions in the city. An old
mosque is appropriated to the purpose,
under the charge of several directors !;
and here sick cats are nursed, homeless
cats find shelter, and discrcpit cats
gratefully purr away their declining
years. The whole category embraces
several hundred, and it is quite sight
to behold the court, the corridors and
terraces of the mosque swarming with
them. Here, one with bruised limb is
receiving q catplasm there, a catelep-
tic patient is tenderly cared for; and so
on, through the long concatenation Of
feline diseases.

The season forbids much work 10 be done
in the garden this raontb, still there may be
something done calculated to facilitate the
operations of early spring, ard to these we
win proceed to call your attention.
STIFF Clay beds. IF you have any of these
in your garden, you should avail yourself Of
any mild days that may occur. and have them
dug up full spade lii depth. leave them in
the rough, aud broadcast lime ever them -
BY so doing you viii not only cause their te-
nacity to be broken down by the freezing
and thawing Of winter. but in spring you viii
be the gamer of so much time, matter of
great moment at that season Of the year, when
much has to be done in very limited period
of time
Hot Beds Every farmer's garden should
be provided with one tr more hot beds, as
without three convent secs, it is impossible
to be furnished with very early vegetables a
source Of cumeort whisil no farmer should be
without--to say nothing about their luxury
and healthfulness. If you have no such ap-
planes about your garden, you should forth
with supply the deficiency. A bot bed Of
sufficient dimensions for large family need
not cost much. as it can be made by any
common farm hand
Tune Of Soieiag Seeds lin order that
the plants may be ready to set out when the
ground may be in condtion to receive them,
VIC will mention that plants are generally in
condition to be transl lapted in irom six to
eight weeks from the time Of sowing the
seeds.
The garden vegetables Which require to
be early sown, are Tomatoes Egg Plants,
Cabbagcs. Lettuce. Caulhowers, Broccoli,
and can all be compressed within the com
pressed within the compass Of a bot bed 20
by feet ia dimensions.

SOCIAL INTERCOURSE.

We should make it principle to extend
the hand Of fellowship to every man who dis
charges faithfully his duties and maintains
good order who manilests deep interest in
the welfare of general society whose deport-
ment is upright aud whose mind is intelligent
without stopping TO ascertain whether he
swings hammer or draws thread. There
is nothing so distant from all natural claim
as the reluctant, the backward sympathy, the
forced smile, the checked conversation, the
hesitating compliance, the well-oG are too
apt to manifest to those little down, with
whom, in comparison Of intellect and princi-
pies of virtue, they frequently sink into in
significance. Daniel Holster

A TIMELY PARAGRAPH.

The following beautiful passage, by Wash
ington Irving, in tie Hone Book Of The
Picturesque" might almos. make January
day cheerful:
And here let me say word in favor Of
those vieisitudcs Of cur climate which are too
often made the subject Of exclusive repinnc.
lfthey annoy us occasionally by changes
from hot to cold, from wet to dry, they give
us ono Of the most beautiful climates in the
world. They give us the brilliant sunshine
Of the South of Europe with the fresh YER
durc Of the North. They float eur summer
skies with clouds Of gorgeous tints or feecy
,whiteness. ard send down cooling showers to
refresh tic painting earth and keep Il green
Our seasons are all poetical the phenome-
ma Of our heavens ara full Of sublmity aud
beauty.
Winter with US has none Of its proycrbi.
al gloom. 1t may have its bowling winds,
and chilling frosts and whirling snow storms;
but it has also its long intervals Of cloudless
sunshine, when the snow clad earth gives re-
doubled brightness to the day when at
night the stars beam with intonsest lustre, or
the moon foods the whole landscape with her
most limpid radiance; and then the joyous
outbreak of our spring, bursting at once into
leaf and blossom, redundant with vegetation,
and vociferous with lfe.-and the splendors
of our Summer--its morning righteousness
and evening glory-its airy palaces of sun
gilt clouds, piled up in q deep azure sky and
its gusts of tempests of almost tropical gran
duer, when the forked lightning and the bell
loving thunder volley from the ba.tlements
of heaven and shake the su.try atmosphere
aud the sublime melancholy OF our autumn,
magnificent in its decay, whitening down the
ponip and pride of woodland country yet re-
flecting back from its yellow forests the gol-
den serenity of the sky. Surely we may say
that in our climate "the heavens declare the
glory of God and the armament showeth
forth his handiwork; day unto day uttoreth
speech, and night unto night showeth know
! edae.'"

PRIVILEGED MEMBERS

A correspondent Of the New York Indo-
pendent, writing from Washington, tells the
following good one of minister who was not
acquainted with the ways the Capital,
a gentleman on visit here, and anxious
to listen to the debates, opened very coolly
one Of tho doors Of the Senate, and was about
to pass in, when the doorkecpcr asked, care
sou privileged mcmber ?" "What do you
mean by such man?" asked the stranger
The reply was, "a Governor, an ex-member
Of Congress, or foreign minister" The
stranger said, Il am minister" "From
what court or country, if you please?" asked
the official. (Very gravcly pointing up }
"From the Court of Heaven, sir" TO this
our doorkeeper waggishly remarked, "Thi:
government at present holds no intercourse
with that foreign power !"
