"BY AND BY."-Thers's music enough in
those words for the burden Of a song. There
Is wrapped up in them, an articulate beat OF
the human heart.
Bye and bye

We heard it the other day, when two parted

10 California, and the other to her lonely
home.
Everybody says it-sometime or other. The
little boy whispers IL when he dreams Of ex-
changing the little stubbed boots like a man.
The man murmurs it, when in life's middle
watch he sees hi, plan half finished and has
hopes, yet in the bud, waving in the cold late
spring.
The old man says il when he thinks of put
ting of the mortal for the immortai-tO-day
FOR tomorrow.
The weary watch for the morning whites
away the dark with =" bye and by"

there is sign or n sob in it, What wouldn't

THg HEALING WATERs.-Our readers Will
doubtless remember the magic properties as
signed to the River Lethc in the Mythology of
ancient Greece. In those darker ages super
stition held predominant sway, and usurpcd
the minds OF men. Immersion in its waters
was believed to cause forgetfulness of past and
present woes-the afflicted mind and diseased
body could alike throw Off the trammels that
bound them, and being thus no longer tbs
slaves of mental or bodily enthralment, finish
the rest of their days with indifference TO tbs
past, and unalloyed anticipation for the future.
But start not, attentive readeri when

Whether the affliction emanatcs from the
deep-scated core Of long neglected disease,
from the ravages of malignant epidemic, or
again from long-protracted habits of dissipa

grasp Of the poor sufferer, be he high or low.
a remedy for his woes TO which he can look
for succor.
We allude, in the above remarks, to ths

and renowned Professor Holloway.
Countless thousands of every tongue and

them from a bed OF suffering and sorrow to

THE SHORTEST WAY.-Some twelve years
ago Napoleon, Indiana, was celebrated for two
things, one for the carousing propensities of
its citizens, and the other for the great number
of cross roads in its vicinity. 1t appears that
an Eastern collector had stopped at Dayton TO
spend the night, and gain some information
respecting his future course. During the e.
vening he became acquainted with an old dro-
yer, who appeared well posted with the geo.
graphy of the country, and the collector tbo't
he might as well inquire in regard to the best
route to different points to which he was des-
tined.
s'I wish to 60 to Greenfield said the col
lector, s.now which viii be my shortest way 2''
ssWell, sir,'' said the drover, ssyou had bet
ter go to Napoleon, and take the road leading
nearly north.''
The traveller noted it down.
"Well, sir, if l wished to go to Edinburg 2''
''Then go to Napoleon, and take the road
west.''
sWell, if wished to go to Vernon 20
$50 to Napoleon, and take the road south
west''
cor to Indianapolis 20 asked the collector,
eyeing the drover closely, and thinking he
was being imposed on.
ssGo to Napoleon, and take the road north
west"
The collector looked at his notebook eve
ry direction had Napoleon on it; he began to
feel his mettle rise, and he turned once more
to the droyer, with
s'Suppose, my friend, want to so to h-l?''
The drover never smiled, but scratched his
head, and after moments hesitation he said +:
sWell, my dear sir, l don't know of any
shorter road you could take than to go TO Ma
poleon."

THE JUMPING WAFER.-The priests in France
now announce new miracle about twice a
week. The last is jump which the ''wafer"
made, in church, from the hand of person
who ought not to have touched it, to the mis-
sal of very devout lady, aud thence into her
mouth, which happened providentially to be
open at the time. This was clever for wa
Ecr, though we confess, the greater miracle
seems to be, that a priest should print such a
story and not to be sent to St. Pelagie a
rogue, or to Bicetre as a fool. However, the
jumping wafer is a worthy companion of the
Winking Virgin.

DON'T KILL THE BIRDS A multitude of them
viyors a chance. We fully concur with the
Hartford Courant' when it says :-ssShanle on
the man or boy who kills robins at this season
of the year 1t is dastardly thing-unsports-
man like. The youth who murders robins in
the spring is the man who kills hired horses
because they are hired, cheats his creditors
and abuses his mother. These qualities go in
clusters and where you find boy or man
mean enough to shoot robin in May. you find
a coward Pass the boy who kills robins in
May on to his moral pillory."
