A SneeZIng COurt.

The Cincinnati Columbian must be held
responsible for the following sneezer: f"
During the progress of the examination of
Minkhuuse and Leary, for an outrage upon
an idiot glrl, as reported elsewhere, some per-
son or persons. not having due sense of the
awful majesty of the law or the dignity of the
court, scattered viainous mixture of snuff,
Cayenne peper, May berry bark, and most
probably slight sprinkIing of cowage about
the room. 1t happened at the time that the
audience was extremity large, and of that
mixed description that generally congregate
about the purlies of a Court of Justice. The
insiuuatng dust soon began to take effect; a
concert Of sneezing mixed with coughing, first
among the outsiders. made it impossible to
understand one word from either Judge, law
yer, witness or prisoner.
"Silence, shouted the marshal.
"Si.ah h-chi-chee-lence, sneezed the
deputy.
By this time the epidemic had extended to
within side the bar. and there was as much
coughing and sneezing as ever was heard
within the House OF Representatives during a
prosy speech of an unpopular orator.
Z" Open the ugh win-chee chez -ches-dow.
oh Lord" exclaimed the prosucuting attorney
al suggest-ah' chee-te-that they be chitz
turned out, gasped another lawyer.
The Judge. who by this time had coughsd
and sneezed until his face was as red as the
comb of a turkey cock. was struck by the idea
and posse of officers being called from be-
low, cleared the unhappy multitude, who up
on the egress into the street gave such con-
ceried diabolical sneeze. that couple Of hor
ses tina; were hitched outside, bee anne scared
and breaking their brides scampered franti-
cally away.
There is reason to suppose that some un-
godly culprit. the pores of whose pocket had
been opened for misdemeanor. had taken this
method to retaliate, by opening the pores oil
the Courts olfactories.

FIR
OH THE
PeriIs of Navigation.

The advantages of this contract need scarcely
be urged upon wealthy men or merchants, for they
rarely neglect it, and if they do, fires leave them
other resources. 1t is especially valuable to la
boring men, mechanics, and others of moderate
means-who. perhaps have little else than home
and its contents in the world.
These should never neglect to insure;a fire which
may visit them at any hour, would leave them
homeless and with no capital but their labor, to
begin again the struggle of life, and years of toll
and watching must pass before they can regain
what they have lost, if indeed it is ever DONE
To such, insurance is duty. If the individual
is worth little, the expense is less; if he owns
much property, still the expense is trifng, and by
investing few dollars he is safe. If he is over
taken by misfortune and his all laid in ashes, he
receives recompense in cash capital equal to
his loss, and may soon restore what has been de-
stroyed.

The WAY TO LIvE.-The busy always
wish for rest. The bustling tradesman looks
eagerly forward to the time when he may
be placed upon the ''retired list, but when
the golden ageso coveted arrives, lie is rest
less and unhappy. 1t is an error to sup
pose that after the lapse of twenty years,
in constant toll and responsibility, one can
quietly sit down in a retired nook demure-
ly fold the hands and be happy. The only
way TO render this life truly agreeable is IL
unite recreation with labor, and each by
turn becomes an enjoyment,-a streak OF
fat with streak of lean, as it were. lie
who wastes the night in planning the means
of aggrandizement, aud the day in endeav-
oring 20 fulfill the meditations Of the night is
q jackanapes. The game is not worth the
expenditure OF life's wick. Why then gut
ter down the candle of existence by these
morbid schemes for mamnon? Mans first
duty is 10 his God--the next, to himself, g
lifetime of fitful schemes and labor is con-
sistent with neither duty.
