10 "The heart alone knoweth its own bitter
ness" How much of hypocrisy and deceit mus
the man who would "do well" in the world prac
ticc! No one dare do aught that tyrannous Gus
tom does not sanction I'm this world of convention
alities and heartlcssness. The better part Of MAJ
must be hidden, and his evil genius fostered ant
Hypocrisy and deceit are the sisters
of Mammon, and the three hold joint rule over so
ciety-woe betide him who rebels against their au
thority. Thus sings the world:
We may not sigh, we may not weep,
We may not speak the hearts true thought
Each must his inmost secrets keep,
Nor tell at what price they're bought,
The world would laugh and wanton jest,
If the still chambers of the soul
Unveiled were, and thought the best,
And purest, left at its control.
The eye must flash with living light
What time the heart is sick and sad,-
The careless worldlings smile is bright,
Why, then, should we be aught than glad
The lip must wear its sweetest smile,
The tongue must speak the honied phrase,
And hypocritic cant beguile
Affection out of half her days.
Then, heart, close shut thy cells in pain;
And light thy lamps, o, dropping eyes;
Tongue, lie; thine owner must get gain
Though love, hope faith and virtue dies!

MEcHANIcs.-They are the palace builders of
the world. Not a stick is hewn, not stone is
shaped in all the lordly dwellings of the rich,
that does not owe its beauty and fitness to the
mechanics skill. The spires that raise their
giddy heights among the clouds, depend upon
the mechanics art for their strength and symme-
try; the thousands of noble ships that cover
the seas of the world the magnificent steam
ers that plough the northern lakes, and western
rivers the swift locomotives that traverse thro'
the States with the rapidty of lightning; are
all the construction of that noblest of beings,

Who dares to sneer at such fraternity of hon.
orable, noble, high-mindcd men? Who dares
to cast odium on such an eminent and patriotic

it does not lead them to the highest post oil
fame and renown.

SNoBBERY."-Our friend, DR.. Ray, of the
Galena Jefersonian, takes down" some of the
members of the Excursion party, and one in
particular, in the following manner:
We should do injustice to the party did we
fail to mention the half dozen professors of
snobbery" with which the company was hon.
ored. Tickets had been sent to various men,
who were unable to accept their invitations. In
too many instances, they were handed over to
cousins, sons and nephews, and they came arm
ed and equipped as the custom of Snobdom di-
rects. We have referred to the opera glass
man as being at st. Anthony and Mime ha ha
he was our snob. Dressed in the extremity OF
fashion, bedecked with diamonds, and sinking
of some execrable perfume, he carried with him
in patent leather box, hung over his shoulder
by strap, an opera glass with which TO look at
the Mississippi river! When some ravishing
picture would open before us, Of sufficient beau
ty to silence the reverent behoder-out would
come the opera glass, and after a momentary
squint, we would be gratifed by his note of ad-
miration-" Demnition fine Exquisite, 'pon
me honor" One of the company-a Western
man of sufficient impudence and one who had
received trifing indignity from Snob, caught
him in front of the cabin deck and the follow
ing conversation ensued
West al beg your pardon, sir, but | am a
western man and as such am little inquisitive.
May ! inquire what You have got in that box,
to sell 2"
Snob, Indignantly. Sell sir! have moth
ing to sell!
West. Excuse me thought you was ped
ding something"
A roar followed, and Snob retired His ope-
ra glass was soon no more.
Very well done, brother Ray hit him again.
He has no friends among men and women of
sense. Chicago Dem. Press.

pearances he would judge that the salutary Of
the editor was particularly eloquent. It abounds
in number of hieroglyphics that strongly re-

tarantulas. II is computed that there are $4,000
Chinese in California, nearly all Of whom know

SINGULAR APpEARANcE.-We noticed very
pretty phenomenon connected with the eclipse
on Friday last. Wherever the sunlight strag-
ged through the trees, it fell upon the walls and
sidewalks in little crescents Of light constantly
changing their place and size as the leaves rus
tied in the breeze, but always retaining their
shape. The interstices between the leaves serv-
ed as so many cameras, through which the sun
made an inverted image Of itself. The varying
sizes of the eclipse could thus be observed with.
out the aid of glass or lampback.

"FRoM MY MOTHER, SIR"-A few DAYS since
case came up in the United States District
Court, in Philadelphia, in which captain of
vessel was charged with some offence on ship
board by his crew. An incident occurred in the
case which excited deep feeling in the Court
and in all present.
A small lad was called to the stand to testify
in the case He had been on board the barque
while at Pernambuco, and was present during
the controversy between the captain and the
crew. The shaggy appearance of his head, and
the bronzed character of his face and neck, from
the exposure of the Southern sun, at first,
would seem to indicate carelessness and neglect
but underneath that long and matted hair, the
fire of intelligence cleaned from a pair OF small
restless eyes, which could not be mistaken. The
counsel for the captain, from the extreme youth
of the lad, doubted whether he understood the
obligation of the oath he was about 10 take, and
with view to test his knowledge, asked leave
to interrogate him. This was granted, and the
following colloquy took place:
MY lad, do you understand the obligations
of an oath 2"
"Yes Sir, do"
"What is the obligation %
"To speak the truth and keep nothing hid"
"Where did you learn this, my lad 2"
a look of pride which showed how much he es-
teemed the moral principles implanted in his
breast, by her to whom he committed his phys.
cal and moral existence
For moment there was silence i'm the court
room, and then, rs eye met eye, and face gleam-
ed 10 face, with the recognition of mothers
love and moral principle which had made their
fixed expression upon this boy, it seemed as if
the spectators would forget the decorum due to
the place, and give audible expression TO their
emotions. The lad was instantly admitted to
testify.
Behold the mothers power Often had evil
influences and corrupt examples assailed this
boy. Time and care, and exposure to the bat
Ting elements, had worn away ineaments of the
infant face, and bronzed his once fair exterior,
but deeply nestled 10 his bosom still the les-
sons of a mothers love, which taught him to
love and speak the truth.
