PADDY's IDEA OF PERDIrIoS.-Pat McCarty was
"a broth of boy" and altogether as "dacent ,"
man and as handy with spade as any of the
whole five hundred who were at work upon the
railroad, then and now in process of building in the
northern part Of Ohio. He was great hvorite
with the overseer, on account of his faitlfulness
and integrity Of character-but he had one fault
that sorely grieved his employer. Though as sober
asa sexton for six days in the week, Pat could
never resist the temptations of "pay day." and
when Saturday came round never failed to get as
"drunk as lord" Having tried every other re-
ormatory in vain, the overseer at length bethought
OF the priest who prevailed on Pat to 81 take the
pledge" and sent him on his way rejoicing. But,
alas the next payday was "too many" for poor
Pat who, staggering through the village at noon,
met no less parsonage than the priest who had
attempted to reform him. "You're lost, Pat-en-
tirely lost said his reverence, with sigh of
genuine sorrow. Pat bewildered for moment,
but having stared about him till he had fairly as
certained his local whereabouts, he exclaimed
triumphantly-" Lost ?-is it lost 1 am ?-lost, in
broad day light, half way between Jimmy Stacy 5
and the coort house ITO the divil wild yer non.

p6 An explosion occurred in the Belmont
Colliery, 10 Schuylkill county, Pa, few days
since, which killed four persons and wounded
seven others. The miners had commenced to
brush cut of one of the ''breasts" the FIRE that
had got into it, when it suddenly penetrated to
the gangway and exploded three kegs of gun
powder. Two men named Saurbrey and berlin
were instantly killed, and also two boys named
Morgan and Silverthorn. The father of the
latter was also injured and has since died.
Several others were badly hurt. The effect of
the shock was felt At great distance from the
scene, and the mines throughout trembled with
the conclusion. Coal, rocks and material were
hurled with dreadful velocity far out towards
the slope. -,.e. .sl+-,. g

MINOR MORALS FOR MARRIED PEoPLE.-ssThe
last word" is the most dangerous of Internal
machines. Husband and wife should no more
fight to get it than they should struggle for the
possession of lighted bomb-shell
Keep an Epictetus in your dining room, to
read while waiting for the completion of your
wife's toilet.
Married people should study each others
weak points as skaters look out for weak parts
of the ice, in order to keep of them.
Ladies who marry for love should remember
that the union of angels with women has been
forbidden since the food.
The wife is the sun of the social system
Unless she attracts, there is nothing to keep
heavy bodies-like husbands-from flying of
into space.
Wives, be lenient to the martial cigar The
smoke always hides the most disagreeable part
of the battle.
The wife who would properly discharge her
duties, must never have soul 'above buttons"
The liberties of England have been won by
mutual concessions. Let the husband, who
would acquire the privilege of asking friends to
dinner without notice, remember this when his
wife hints at a bonnet. The wife's want is the
husbands opportunity.
Notwithstanding the assertions of mathemati-
clans, the marriage ring is circle which hus-
band and wife have the problem set them of
making all square.
Don't trust too much to good temper when
you get into an argument. The Iadians pro-
duce FIRE by the rubbing of the driest sticks.
Sugar is the substance most universally diff
fused through all natural products. Lat mar
ried people take hint from this provision of
nature.

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE ON FOREIGN ABoL-
1r1oN1sM.-Here is what the New York Tribune
says:
"The results Of immigration hither are these !:
It has dug our canals, built our railroads. started
new branches of industry, given capital develop
is our principle hope for the Territories now
menaced by slavery-the great countertide to the
currents Of that barbarizing institution Yet null
titudes Of Northern men, protesting some compre-
hensiveness Of glance, believe in checking and
abridging immigration, by raising hue and cry
against foreigners. There never was more COM
plete dog in-the-manger policy, never more deadly
blow aimed at the cause of freedom"

CHILNREN ATTACKED By RATs.-A correspon-
dent writes us, says the New Haven Courier, that
three or four children who were playing in the yard
of No. Wooster street, yesterday afternoon, were
attacked by four enormous rats. Each rat singled
out victim, and sprung squalling upon the little
girls The girls ran to the house, but one little
boy Of two years was followed by a rat, which
caught him by the right knee and held on until the
cbid's grandfather went to his assistance The rat
would not run, and so he was killed. Attempts
have been made to poison these rats previously,
and it is feared the bite upon the chids knee may
prove serious. Its a singular affair. Remarkably
singular If true.

The GREATEST SrEAMsHIP.-The Canada brings
us the particulars of the launch of the new steam
ship Persia for the Cunard line. She is said to be
the largest steamer aoat and in her Internal capa-
city exceeds the largest Of the present Cun.rdera
by about twelve hundred tons. Her nominal ton
mage and steam power is stated at 300 tons and
one thousand horses but these fguresare of course
much below her actual capacity. Sheis constructed
of iron, has seven water-ight compartments, bulk
heads etc.; SHAT in the event Of collision or other
accident at sea- she viii be as safe Is the ingenuity
of man Is thus far able to make her.

LOVE- AND HosoR YOUR Mo1HsR.-Ths last
wishes Of the late Gar Of Russia, ~ recorded
in his will, contain the following:
The legacy which bequeth to my children, is
to love and honor their mother; to do every
thing to promote her tranquility /; to anticipate
all her wishes, and to endeavor to render her old
age happy by their devoted attentions. Never
must they undertake any thing Of importance
without first asking hsr sdvios, spd demanding
hsr maternal bsnsdiction.

LANeuAeE.-Language is the amber in which
thousand precious thoughts have been safely en-
bedded and preserved. 1t has arrested ten thou
sand lightning flashes of genius, which, unless thus
fixed and arrested, might have been as bright, but
would also have been quickly passing and perish
ing as the lightning. Words convey the mental
treasures of one period to the generations that
follow; and laden with this. their precious freight
they sail safely across the CULTS Of time in which
empires have suffered shipwreck, and the language
Of common life have sunk into oblivion

DoN'r DO IT-Never make use Of an honest
woman's name in an improper place, at an improper
time, or in mixed company. Never make asser-
tons about her that you think untrue, illusions
that you feel she herself would blush to hear.
When you meet with men who do not scruple to
make use of woman's name in reckless manner
shun them, for they are the very worst members
Of the community-men lost to every sense of
honor, every feeling Of humanity.
