UP TOWN ITEMS.
REPORTED BY UP TOWN, ESQ.

~ When Man-that is Adam-was first
created, he found everything adapted to his
wants and tastes, and himself adapted to
everything else in creation. But we are told
that Adam fell into a deep sleep, from which,
1t is fair to presume he was awakened by
sNe's kicking Before they had been keeping
Alouse together great while, they found them
selves surrounded by necessities There was
crude material every side, and the twain
were endowed with ingenuity (; and Adam be-
ing the working partner of the firm, common
ced at once the labor of satisfying these neces-
sites, but for each one satisfied, numberess
others appeared; the supply far exceeding the
demand. From that time down to the pres
ent, these necessities have been increasing in
a ratio of three to one, and Man has sought
out many inventions, thus surrounding him
= self with utilities, luxuries and comforts
The restless being then bethought himself Of
his own personal appearance; and he looked
out on the lilies of the field, which toll not
neither do they spin, and he asked, may | not
:. be as beautiful as these And little breeze
laughed over them, the lilies nodded ; and
the primrose nodded, and the rose nodded, and
''her country cousin the sweet briar, nodded,
and all the little floral kingdom nodded as
sent, and rejoiced that he who was created in
the image of his Maker, had appreciated their
beauties Then when Man besought them,
they contributed the lilly of her store; the
primrose of her store the rose of her store !;
i i
little individual of that elysium cast in its
mite and the whole were put together and
made into one mixture. Then the butter-cup
was appointed by the other flowers to present
the magic compound to Man in one of her
own vegetable chalices, and man took it and
used it, and when he had used it he became
fair as his daughters were, and his daughters
became lovely as angels; and they called this
wonderful thing, the "BALM OF A THOUSAND
FLOWERS. -
These medco-5otanic ideas were suggested
by seeing the contents of broken bottle of
the 20 Balm" operating chemically the
fourth coat of dirt, three coats having been
removed by its potency, from the hands of the
writer.

fair.
The House Committee pursued the inyesti-
cation in the Sumner assault to-day. He was

he did pick up at different times goodly
number of coins, gold and silver. But all
these years, while he was looking for them,
he saw not that the heavens were bright above
him, and nature beautiful around. He never
