He D1D'NT Know THE DAY.-A Gin
cinnati Merchant, on Sunday last, took a
drive into the country and on his return
finding from the effects Of Julcps and 9TH
er potations, he was as far gone as the
man who asked his wife g if the milk was
tied up or whether it was lying about
loose.' he concluded he would go into
his store and take snooze before
showing himself TO his family.
When he awoke, little before sunset
he sprang from the counter and fancying
from the crowds of persons passing tho
door that he had slept until Monday
morning, he went to work, opened the
store, took down the skaters, swept out,
and wondering at the tardncss of the
clerks, put out abundant samples of
his goods, wares and merchandise upon
the sidewalk.
Passing church g oers were thunder
struck at such open proclamation fthe Sab
bath, but their stopping in front Of the store
was attributed by the unlucky merchant
to the admiration Of his stock but after
an hour or two. he began to think, like
the old Scotch woman similarly situated,
that ait was m uncommon thing-the
sun rising in the west" and getting a
hint Of the state Of the case from rcli-
sious neighbor he hastily began to take in
his stock, aud ere the gas lamps were lit,
had shut his store and left for home, where
he remained silent the whole evening,
meditating upon the size of the brick he
had in his hat.

Oscar, King Of Sweden, is now in the

We have laid thee down to rest, Millie,

But on the Saviour's breast thou art,
Never, never more to roam.

A place for them prepare
The ones who shared thy every joy,

And bathc thy grave with tears.
But, Oh we all shall meet again
Where partings are no more,
And sing the praises Of our King

The Way to Live.

The busy always wish for rest. The bust
ling tradcsman looks eagerly forward to the
time when he may be placed upon the retired
st,'-but when the golden age so coveted ar
rives, he is restless and unhappy. 1t is an cr-
ror to suppose that after the lapse of twenty
years, in constant toll and responsibility, one
can quietly sit down in retired nook, demurc-
ly fold the hands, and be happy.
The only way to render this life truly agree
able is to unite recreation with labor, and each
by turn becomes an eyoymcnt,- streak of
fat with streak of lean, as it were He who
wastes the night i'll planning the means of ag-
grandizement, and the day in cndeavoring to
fulfil the me(litations of the night, is jacka-
napes. The game is not worth the expcnd-
turc of life's wick. Why then gutter down the
candle of existence by these morbid schemes
for mammon? Mans first duty is to his God
the next, to HIMSELF lifetime of iitful
schemes and labor is consistent with neither
duty.

LATEST NEWS.
Further from the Seat of War...Addi-
tiOnal News by the Atlantic.

An account Of the bombardment of Odessa is Of
fcialIy promulgated at Vienna whence it had been
telegaphed to France and England 1t seems but
half measure, after ALL but perhaps the accounts to
arrive by mail may show it in a more satisfactory
light.
On the 9Th ult., the British steamer Furious
sent with flag Of truce to Odessa to bring of the
British Ex- Consul and some 20 British subjects
The Russians refused to allow the steamer to enter
the harbor, and her persistng fired six or seven
shots from the batteries, and out ships to chase
her.
On the 23d nine steamers of the allied fleet took
up position before the ports that command the har
Dor, and commenced throwing bomi~hes and rockets
upon the forts and city. One statement says the
bombardmcnt was over in two hours; another that it
continued necessarily for ten hours, aud only ceased
with the night
The Russian telegraphic account is Insufficient
1t is as follows: The English and French AdmiralS
demanded the surrender of the Russian ships in the
port o. Odessa. An attempt to land 13, 900 men fail
ed. This being refused, the bombardmcnt commence
ed from eighteen ships. A small part Of the city was
destroyed.
The Russians arc making great preparations to
attack Silestria.
The British fleet had heen further reinforced, and
was awaiting the arrival of the French Squadron.
Uutil the arrival of the latter the British fleet will
cruise of the coast Of Finland.
On the 3lst nineteen British ships anchored be-
fore Stockholm.
Napier arrived the 9th, and on the 25,h had
an audience with King Oscar.
The execution Of WaIIachia by the Russians is
complete.
The important post of Sicstria is Glossy invested,
but tclegraphic dispatch, dated the Goth, says tina
up to that date it had suffered no damage.
Accounts from Bucharest, April 18Th says it had
been hard pressed since the 18th, and would have
fallen, but for the determined vaor of its defenders
The Kussans on the contrary, expect to reduce it in
few days. MuStapha Pacha has strong garrison
but it Is said to be neither well supplied with vctuals
nor ammunition. The ford is in the possession Of the
Russians-thc Turks having retired within their de-
fences. The Russians expected to assault on
the lst Of May with 10000 men. They have erect.
ed heavy batteries, under cover of which they will
advance to the attack.
The passage Of the Ocnetzi is expected at the
same time. Notwithstanding all these formidable
statements, we must not forget that Sesria is too
strong position to be carried without de- perate
and perhaps prolonged struggle.
