There S wisdom in merry heart,

Philosophy may lift its head
And find out many Il flaw, n,7
But give me the philosophy
That's happy with Il straw.
If life but brings us happiness,
1t brings us, We are told,
WHAT'S hard to buy, tho rich ones try,
With all their heaps Of gold.
Then laugh away, let others say
Whatc 'Cr they will of mirth;
Who laughs the most, may truly boast
He's got the wealth of earth;
There's beauty in a merry laugh,
y moral beauty too; ''
1t shows the hearts an honest heart,
That $ paid each man his due,
And lent IL share of what 5 to spare,
Despite Of VISIONS fears;
And n.iicS the cheek less sorrow speak
The eye weep fewer tears.
The sun may STROUD itself in cloud,
The tempest wrath begin;
II finds Il spccli to cheer the dark,
Its sunlight is within.
Then laugh away. let others say
Whatc 'rr they will of mirh;
Whc laughs the most, may trIly boast

PAY or MEMBERS or .CoNGREss.-By the
act OF the I'D September, 1889, the pay Of "a
member Of Congress was fixed at So per day
and So for every twenty miles Of travel. This
was to continue until the 18th Of March, 1873,
after which it was TO bc ST. per day and 81
for every twenty miles travel. This act way
limited to the 18th March, 1875. On the 4th
OF March, 1896, the compensation was fixed
at S6 per day and SO for every twenty niles
travel. BY the act of the 10Th March, 1876,
the pay was changed from daily to an aft
nual compensation; the President pro tenn. Of
the Senate and the Speaker of the House
each $4,000 per annun, and each member
ST. 800 per annum. The mileage was NOT
changed. This last act created great excite
mcnt in the country, and even arrayed strong
opposition to Mr.. Clay, who had supported
it. Many members were defeated at the next
election in consequence of its passage. pt
was repealed on the 9th February, 1877, TO
take effect after the close Of the then session
Of Congress. By the act Of the 22d January,

GLASS BRlcKs.-Among the more recent
inventions patented by manufacturers, we
hear OF one by Mr.. Summeriicld, of the glass
works, Birmingham, England, for what arc
termed chromatic glass, or glass faced groov-
ed bricks. BY Mr.. Summerficld's process,
red or any other clay can be combined with
glass, and this will secure durability, cntirs
resistance to moisture, and give an ornanlen-
tai appearance to the building. The form of
the brick is also, by means OF groove at thc
side and end, made so as to add greatly to
the strength Of the erection, the joints by
this means being brought close together; and
the morer acts as lowell from the silapy Of
the groove--7he London Builder.
