The WHITE VE1L.-A beautiful but
strange customp prevails among the Japanese,
by SAich the bride receives disguised ser
mon as present from her friends. In our
land the bride frequently receives presents
of jewelry and dress, but in Japan her
friends give her on her wedding day a long
white veil. This veil is long enough 70
cover he from head to foot. After the
ceremony is over, she carefully lays aside
this veil among the things not to be distur-
bed. That wedding-veil is at her death to
be her STROUD. What would our females
think of having their shroud around them
to partake in the dancing and other refel
mes?

Reversing tEae Figrires.-An Epi-
gfaRsAs
The Tlymes-TIae Prospeefs.

The whole Lead Mine region enjoys a
degree Of prosperity at the present time
never before attained. We claim, that
there exists here, in many material respects,
a healthier state of things than any other
part of the United States. There has
been no general prevailing bodily sickness.
In business matters, the public mind has
not been fevered by those extravigant no
lions Of speculation, that, while they add
nothing to the common stock of real wealth,
are sure to PROSTATE By their reacting
foroe The useful energies of its victims and
destroy its worthy ambition. There has
been gradual rise in the real estate, and
within eighteen months it has gone up,
perhaps, full one hundred per cent. in value,
which advance is prefectly satisfactory to
all reasonable people. That it will 90 up
much higher We have no doubt, for the
simple reason, that ID IS Worh more. The
tfue value Of orr lands here have been and
are now, greatly underestimate. One of
the proprietors Of this paper has lately
visited many parts Of neighboring Wiscon-
sln. lie represents the corn crop as being
the best ever known, and other crops were
first rate. There has been no suffering of
crops from want Of rain, the quality of the
soil being such, that It can stand drouth
better than any other that we have seen,
without injury to vegetation. The Miners
are yielding full their usual quantity of our
great staple, we judge. Money is sufficient
y plenty to meet the wants of the country,
and will be as long as the people are wise
enough 20 pay as they 90, and thus keep
out of debt, and consequently, out of the
hands Of the sharpers and the sheriff.

C0cIkney Sportsman

The cockney sallies forth at dawn,
And tagged, returns at dark,
He finds no sport unless he shoots
A sparrow-for a lark.
In vain he beats about the fields,
Or penetrates the groves
His pointer, but an ill-bred dog;
A dissappotnter proves:
His piece disturbs the little birds,
His pops their flight increase :;
Unframed they fly, and in return
The birds disturb his peace.
He, like a lawyer, charges, but
No "shot'' his wishes crown,
So he gives up the game, because
He cannot bring 1t dol01s.

Hoa0 to do up Shirt Bosoms.-Under
the above caption the following paragraph
has been going the rounds considerable
time, but we give it now for the benefit Of
those who may have overlooked it:
We often hear ladies expressing desire
to know by what process the gloss on new
linens, shirt bosoms, &C., is produced, and
to crafty them, we subjoin the following
recipe:
Take two ounces of fine white gum ara
bic powder--put it in pitcher, and pour
on pint or more of boiling water, accord
ing to the degree of strength you desire
and then, having covered it, let it set all
night-in the morning pour it carefully
from the dregs into clean bottle, cork it,
and keep it for use. A tablespoonful of
gum water stirred into pint of starch,
made in the usual manner, will give to
lawns, either white or printed, look of
newness, when nothing else can restore
them after washing.

great solemnity. The Judge, on opening the
court, laid revolver and bowie-knife on the
table, and observed, This court always tenn

Quoted the defence, which he closed in the fol-
lowing pathetic words addressed to his client :
But if, my poor young friend, you are to be
hung. and l confess l think this court and jury
intend to hang you, and l don't know but you
deserve it, beg you to console yourself on the
gallows, with the reflection that it won't hurt

consolation I can imagine Is fitted to man
