TIE Happy Nan.-The Boston Common
1oealh makes the following extract from pho
nographic report of recent sermon by Rev.
Theodore Parker, of that city. The original
of the picture is under stood to bea highly es-
1eeraod resiicn: of Newton:
"The happiest man have ever known is one
farenough from being rich in money, and one
who will heeer be very much nearer to it. His
calling fits him, and he likes it, rejoices in its
process as much as in It's result. He has an
active mind well filed. He reads and he
thinks He tends his garden before sunrise;
every moTning-then rides Sundry miles by the
ra;l-does his work in the -town-whence he
returns happy and cheerful. With his own
smile he catches the earliest smile of the morn
ing, plucks the first rose OF his garden, and
goes to his work with the little flower in his
hand, and great one bossoming out of his
heart. He rOuS over with charity, as cloud
with rain; and it is with him as with the cloud
what coming from the cloud is rain to the
meadows, is rainbow of glories to the cloud
that pours it out. The happiness of the alfec-
tions fills up the good man, and he runs over
friendship and love-connubial parental, flial,
friendly, too, and philanthropic, besides. His
life is perpetual trap to catch sunbeam
and it always springs and takes it in. | know
no man who gets more out of life; and the Sc
cret of it is that he does his duty to himself,
to his brother, and to his God. | know rich
men; and learned men--nen of great social
position and if there is genius in America, l
know that--but a happier man have never
known.

BURSTS OF ELoQUEYCE.--The following
burst of eoquence was delivered before court
Of Justice in Pennsylvania:
|'Your honor sits high on the adorable seat
of Justice, like the Asiatic rock of Gibraltar,
while the eternal river of mercy ike cadaverous
of the valley, flows meandering at your feet
The following is the commencement of
speech of lawyer in New Jersey:
''Your honors do not sit there like marble
statues to be waited about by everyidle breeze"
Another orator thus commenced his haran-
que:
"The important crisis which were about to
arrive have .arroven."
Another thus expa6ated:
"The court will please to observe that the
gentleman from the east has given them a very
learned speech. lie has roamed with old Rom
illus, socked with old Socrates, ripped with Eu-
ripides, and canted with old Cantharides, but
what your honor, does he know about the laws
of Wisconsin,
Extract from the argument of young lawyer
before Mississippi Justice:
"May it please the eourt-lwould rather live
for thirteen hundred centuries on the small end
of thunderbolt-chaw the ragged end of a
flash of lightning-swallow TIE corners of a
Virginia worm fence, and have my bowls torn
out by green briar than to be thus bamboozled
by the gentleman"

The New York Express thus speaks on the
conduct of Victoria in refusing to receive Mrs.
Stowe at her drawing room: "We have read a
report, and heard it confirmed by an En- 5lish
gentleman who should be well informed on the
subject that the right-hearted little Queen of
England declined receiving Mrs. Stowe at her
last drawing-room reception, and we are dispos-
ed to give the rumor more credence from the
fact that several American ladies were pre-
sented and received honorable mention in the
Court Journal, while we find no account of Mrs.
Stowe or any of her satellites. The Queen, In
doing this, has added another golden link to the
chain that was fast drawing US towards our
motherland. She has, in her quiet wisdom,
done great deal towards atoning for the i'll
Judged interference in our affairs which at first
seemed, from it's origin in the royal household,
to have met with her tact appreciation. While
there rested doubt with regard to Victoria S
secret of Official participation in proceedings
that are an insult to us, and bitter mockery OF
the sufferings among her own subjects, our
resentment naturally arose, with repub-
lcan audacity, to the throne itself But the
fact that Mrs. Stowe did not appear ct st James,
is sort of proof that our informant is correct
when he asserts that efforts we're strenuously
made to obtain this presentment, and that the
Queen refused to acceed to them.P

there than any other candidate before them
He had given them more substantial evidences
of his friendly regard for them than mere emp
ty words. Why should he be hostile to them as
a class? His honored father, whose memory he
venerated, as the aucients did the Dolphic ora

left the shop to follow the drum. He exchanged
his broad-axe, jack-plain and drawing g-kniie, Tor
the implements Of war. He fought under the
banner of Washington; was with the Quaker
General, Green, at the bloody battle Of Guilford
Court house, and finally was present at the
Browning mercy at Yorktown, when COrn'
wallis surrendered his sword to the father of his
country Coming to the west, among the first
emigrants to Kentucky, he met the Indian in
his war path, and fought him over the dark
and bloody ground, till he,beat his retreat llcs
yond the Ohio. Does any one suppose he was
ever ashamed of his original occupation, or that
any defendant of his ever was? No! But he
and felt an increased pride and qualification
rather, when one was seen to rise from the shop
to the second in command of Shelby's army,
surrounded by five gallant boys, at the bloody
battle of the Thames, that put an end to the
war of 1872 on our Northwestern frontier.

Henry Gnd Johnson, that neither of them should
make any new appointment outside of the reg

and we have yet TO learn that johnson had
evinced any disposition, up to this point, to en-
large the labors of the canvass. The sense of
propriety which, under the circumstances, here,
could prompt him to so speak and act as to give
out the impression that he wished to address the
people on Monday night, and was only prevent
ed from doing so by Maj. Henry's refusal, thus
throwing upon Henry the entire responsibility
we are perfectly willing to leave, without COM

Famine in hdia-W Wholesale Mortality

Famine IN hdid- Wholesale Mortality
A late number of the Bombay Times says:
"We have famine occurring almost decennial-
" some of which, within our time, have swept
their millions away. In 1889, $4,000 persons
in the month Of September in Lucknow; at
Khapoor 1900 died of want; and $500, 900 ster-
ling were subscribed by the bountiful 70 relieve
the destitute. In Guntoor, 10000 human be-
iags, $4,000 bullocis, $4,000 milch cattle, and
100000 sheep and goats died of starvation
Fifty thousand persons perished in Marwar;
and in the Northwest provinces $4,000 human
lives are supposed to have been lost. The liv-
ing preyed uyon the dead; mothers devoured
their children; and the human imagination
could scarcely picture the scenes of h orror that
prevailed the land. In 20 months, time 800,
600 persons must have died of hunger or Of its
immediate consequence.
The direct pecuniary loss to the government
by this single visitation exceeded $4,000, ,OOO,-
900 sterling-a sum which would have gone
far to avert the calamity from which it rose had
it been expended in constructing through fares
to connect the interior with seacoast, or ditricts
where scarcity prevailed with those where hui
man food was to be had in abundance; or on
camels to bear for want Of moisture, the un-
bounded supplies our rivers carry to the ocean,
What fearful picture; and in what broad
contrast is our own happy country. How many
reasons have we to be grateful! Here, the
death of one individual by poverty or want is
rre occurrence, while in India thousands and.
tens of thousands are swept away every few
years. Startling pictures like these are calcu-
lated to make us appreciate our position and
our many blessings.

western Judicial dignitary, recently delivered
the following charge to the jury, in the case Of
one Elm Crunch on trial for stealing:
"Jury, you kin go ous, and don't show your
ugly mugs here till you can find verdict. II
you can't find one of your own, cit the one the
last jury used" The jury retired, and after an
absence of fifteen minutes returned with .
virdict of ''Suicde in the ninth degree and
fourth verse" Then Judge Jonah Joles pro-
nounced upon Crunch this sentence:
Elm Crunch, stan up and face the music
You are found guilty Of suicide for stealing
Now, this court sentence you to pay fine of
two shilings, to shave your head with bag
ganet in the barracks, and if you try to cave in
the heads of any of the jury, you'll eetch thun-

others; and, in conclusion, may the Lord have
