A Sneezing Court.

The Cincinnati Columbian must be
held responsible for the following "sneez-
err"
During the progress Of the examina-
ton of Mink house and Leary, for an out
rage upon an idiot girl, as reported else
where, some person or persons, not hav-
ing due sense of the awful majesty of
the law or the dignity of the court, scat
tered q villainous mixture of snuff, Cay
enne pepper, Mayberry bark, and most
probably slight sprinkling of cowage a.
bout the room. 1t happened at the time
the audience was extremely large, and of
that mixed description that generally con-
gregate about the purlieus of a Court of
Justice. The insinuating dust soon be-
gan to take effect; concert of sneezing
mixed with coughing, first among the
outsiders, made it impossible to under
stand one word from either judge, law
yer, witness or prisoner.
Silence" shouted the marshal.
Si-an-ci chi chez -lence," sneezed the
deputy.
By this time the epidemic had extended
to with inside the bar, and there was as
much coughing and sneezing as ever was
heard in the House of Representatives
during prosy speech of an unpopular
orator,
"Open the-ugh -win-chee- chez che-dow,

The Judge, who by this time had
coughed and sneezed until his face was
as red ar the comb of a turkey cock, was
struck by the idea, and posse of officers
being called from below, cleared the
room of the unhappy multitude, who up
on their egrcss into the street gave such
concerted diabolical sneeze, that a couple
of horses that were hitched outside, be-
came scared, and breaking their brides
scampered frantically away.

try, is the most truly great man-aye and
is the most distinguished man among bis
fellows too And the man who forgetS
his duties to himself, his fellow creatures
and his God-who so far forgcts the
great blessings of life as to allow his ener-
gies to stagnate in inactivity and useless
ness, had better die; for says Holy Writ,
"He that will not work, neither shall he
eat" An idler is cumbcrer of the
ground-a weary curse to himself, as well
as to those around him.
Beneath human beings to work! Why,
what but the continued history that bring
forth the improvement that never allows
him to be contented with any attainment
he may have made-of work that he ma
have efected-what but this raises man
above the brute creation, and under prov
idence, surrounds him with comforts, lux
uries and refnements, physical, moral
and intellectual blessing? The great Or
ator, the great poet, and the great schol-
ar, are great working men. Their voca-
ton is infinitely more laborious than that
of the handicraftsman; and the student s
life has more anxiety than that Of any 9TH
er man. And all, without the persever-
ance, the intention to real industry, can
not thrive. Hence the number of mere
pretentions to scholarship: or those who
have not strength and industry to be real
scholars, but stop halfway, and are smat-
terers-a shame to the profession.
Beneath human beings to work! Look
in the artists studio, the poets garret,
where the genius Immortality stands rea-
dy to see his work with an unefaceablo
signet, and then you will only see indus
try standing by his side,
Beneath human being to work! Why,
[ had rather that child of mine should
labor regularly at the lowest meanest en-
ployment, than to waste its time, its body,
ruo mind and soul, in folly, idleness, and
uselessness. Better to wear out in year,
than rust out in century.
Beneath human beings to work! Why,
what but work has titled our fields, cloth
ed our bodies built our houses, raised
our churches, printed our books cultivated
onr minds and souls? "Work out your
salvation" says the inspired Apostle to
the Gentiles.

High fgave.-Beef sold, on Saturday,
in Philadelphia, at from sixteen to twen-
ty cents pound, and in New York at
twenty-five cents, higher price than any
of the market men ever knew to be paid
for it, and so high that many ofthe butch
ers would not purchase. Perhaps this
would be the best remedy for the inOrdi-

fresh meat. 1t will naturally be the effect

BY j. G. SAKE.
Have you ever heard of the Farmers,
Who live among the hills,
Where every mans sovereign,
And owns the land he tills,
Where all the girls are beautiful,
And all the boys are strongl-
Oh! tits my delight of summers night
To sing the Farmers Song.
IT'S here the tall and manly
Green Mountain boys are seen;
So called because the MOUNTAINS,
And NOT the BOYS, are green.
They'll always fight to win the right,
Or to resist the wrong
Oh! It's my delight of a summers night,
To sing the Farmers Song.
'Tis here the best and fairest
OF Yankee girls are caught,
With every grace of form and face
That e'er lover sought;
And every art to win his heart,
And hold it long and strong
Oh! tbs my delight ofa summers night,
To sing the Farmers Song,
And here the Morgan horses,
And Black Hawk steeds abound
For grace and beauty, strength and speed,
Their equals can't be found;
They always "go it Aeetly,
And they always "come it strong
OH It's my delight of summers night,
To sing the Farmers Song.
And the true merinos,
Of pure imported stock,
Are often seen to range the green
In many a noble flock;
Their forms are large and beautiful,
Their wool is fine and long
Oh! It's my delight of asummer's night,
To sing the Farmers Song.
You've often read of wonders
OF ancient Rome and Greece,
And of Jacobs Expedition
To get the golden fleece;
Vermont has got the fleece away,
And brought the sheep along
Oh! It's my delight ola summers night
To sing the Farmers Song.
And now three cheers for Bingham,
And all true shepherd men;
May Heaven keep himself and sheep
Till shearing comes again;
And then may we be there to see
And help the sport along
Oh!'tis my delight ofa summers night,
To sing the Farmers Song.

A NOBLE BOY.

RESCUE OF 4 PAssLNGrR Tram FRuR DE-
srRUCrIoy.--We mentioned few days since
the burning of the Tunnel Bridge, on the
Baltimore and Susquehanna Railroad, about
five miles south of York, and since learn that
the condagration came very near being fol-
lowed by one of the most terrible disasters
that has lately occurred in railroad travel. -
1t is supposed that the bridge took fire from
the freight trains which passed about half
past O'Clock in the morning, and the struc-
ture was totally enveloped in flames hcgo-o It
was discovered nv the residents in the va'n-
ty. AT about O'Clock the frame work o,
the bridge fell through and among the spec
tators, some twenty in number, was a little
boy about twelve years of age, named III
Rhcem, who, remembering that the express
passenger train was then about due from
York, started off at the top of his speed to en-
deavor to stop tie train, which he knew must
be close at hand. AS soon as he reached the
curve, about two hundred yards from the
bridge, he observed the train coming on at
full speed and fearing that he would be una

ordinary means. the noble little fellow took

ards tile approaching ira n with his hands
raised, caught the attention of the engineer,
WHO immc lately reversed his engine, and
stopped within !oLr hundred yards of mpend-
imp destruction, the piers being some twenty
feet from the rocky bed below and the gap
some sixty feet wide. Had the boy not pla-

aud Was surprised to see the little flaxen.hca-
d0u fellow stand his ground ana endeavoring
to recover his lost breath to answer his Ques-
ton as TO the cause OF his interruption. We
learn that the passengers, when they ascer-
timed the Cause Of the stcppage OF the train
and viewed the rrecipice over which they
were near being dnshcd, literally rewarded
the boy for his presence Of mind and daring,
and that the Board Of Directors at their meet
ing yesterday appropriated 500 us an add
