MISCHIEF A X ERS.

O could there in this world be found
Some little spot Of happy ground
Where village pleasures might go round
Without the village tattliog;
How doubly blest that place would be,
Where all might dwell in liberty,
Free from the bitter misery
Of Gossips endless prattIiug.
If such spot were really known,
Dame peace might claim i! as her own,
And in it she might fix der throne
Forever and forever.
There like queen might reign and live,
While every one would soon forgive
The little Slight they might receive,
And be offended never.
IT'S mischief makers that remove
Far from our hearts the warmth Of love,
And lead us all to disapproye
What gives another pleasure.
They seem to take ones part-but when
They've heard our cares, unkindly then
They soon retail them all again,
Mix'd with the poisonous measure.
And then they've such cunning way
Of telling their i'll meant tales, they say
Don't mention what say, pray,
would not tell another )
Straight to your neighbor's house they go,
Narrating every thing they know,
And break the peace high and low,
Wife, husband, friend and brother.
oh that the misunderstanding crew
Were all reduced to one or two,
And they were painted red or blue,
That every one might know them
Then would our villages forget
To range and quarrel, iume and fret,
And fall into an angry pct,
With things so much below them.
For It's sad, degraded part
To make another bosom smart
And plant a dagger in the heart
We ought to love and cherish
Then let us evermorc be found
In quetness with all around,
While friendship, JOY ard peace abound
And angry feelings perish

Mrs. Morgan's Substitute for the Maine
Law.


MIS-. Morgan's husband was an excel
lent workman, and had the best wages,
but he would drink, and like most men In
his class, when in liquor generally beat
his children, and sometimes his wife.
Mrs Morgan was a notable woman, and
loved her husband in spite OF ali, but alter
years of patient forbearance, she came to
the conclusion that jimmy Morgan, as
she called him, should stop drinking
whether or no. In other words, manu-
faciured private Maine law Of her own.
The occasion was one day when jim
my came home to dinner, half tlpsy,
which always happened when he stopped
at the tavern on his way, and he did this
on an average abou. twice week.
"Now you Morgan" said she, as soon
as he entered, you've been at the whls-
key bou!e again-you needn't deny 1t.
know 1t oy your looks-and by your
breath, togo away you nasty beast,
how dare You try to kiss me when you
have been drinking"
Jimmy had essayed his mairimo~
ca'ess, hoping il would concil
guide wife; but finding his purpose falIeo
he stood upon his dignity.
"Hoty, toity," said he, chow yon Pnt
on airs. Give us some dinner and don
sulk."
Mrs Morgan did not often get reused,
but she was now. She put her arms
akimbo and answered
"NOt moulhfuI Of dinner do you get
in this house to-day, or any other day,
GII you come home sober. So the soon
er you're off the better"
The half-,ipsy husband looked at her in
amazement. For moment he thought
Of enforcing his will as he had often done
before, but whether he had not drank
quite enough 10 arouse his courage. or
whether The blszing eye of his helpmate
frightened him, he turned, after lllile
hesitation, and left the house.
Of course he went straight 10 the tav-
ern, as Mrs. Morgan rather expected he
would. And OF course when night came,
he was led home thoroughly inebriated, as
she rather wished he would be.
He had just sufficient reason left 10
wonder at the extraordinary cate with
which his wife, after assisting 10 undresS
him, tucked him in bed. But this, like
everything else, was soon forgotten III
stupid sleep.
She waited until satisfied that he was
entirely insensihle. when she proceeded
to sew The offender up in sheets, exactly
as if he had been mummy. The stitch
es were not small, but she knew they
were taken with trebled thread, and they
would hold, especially as he could nov
use neither hands nor arms. Once or
twice he grun,ed. as if about 10 awake, but
she stopped a moment al such time.
At last The proceeding was completed
And now she broush, forth cart whip,

ruF FIRST SIGN

How the x. r. Resolvent cured the Kings
Evil, after a congress of Crowned Monarchs
Failed 10 restore the supplicant to health
THE FIRST SIGN
The presence of Pimples, Blo.ches Pustules,
letters, Rash Little Sores, Painful ltchings, Hot
Flushes &c.,are sure indications of the presence
of foreign and impure humors in the system,
and if allowed to mingle with the blood and re-
main in the system corrupting the blood and
filling the sewers Of body with impurities, Sores
and Ulcers will break out, and cover the body
with their repulsye presence.
The Skin under these poisonous influence be-
comes an eruptive volcano, exhibiting to the
eye the disgusting lava Of disease, in the form of
Salt, Rheum, Cancers, Ulcers, Fever Sores,
Putrd Flesh, Kings Evil, and the most Fright
tu! EruptionS Of the Skin.
Railways Renovating Resolvent has cured
the most terrible of Skin Diseases and Humors !;
it will never fail in The worst cases.
LARGE HOLES IN THE NECK.
I'm Emigrant called upon US a few months
since, who had been troubled with the disease
called "king's Evil" He had two very large
holes in his neck and his head, body and legs
were covered with the most disgusting and
sickening sores. We Immediately placed him
under the influence of the Resolvent In six
weeks from the time he called upon us every
sore waS healed, not even 4 sore was left upon
his body to remind him of the Kings Evil
This man, like thousands of other deluded
persons, had laid himself Frustrated before two
Emperors, four Kings, and one Queen, TO be
touched by The fingers of Royalty, believing
that the hands of their ''moSt sacred majestes
would drive away the evil" The Renovating
Resolyent had more power in restoring this
moor deluded victim of cruel disease, TO a
sound condition Of body, than all the kings and
monarchs on the earth.

The Transatlantic T'eiegraph.-The
design Of teIegraphic cable across thr
Atlantic is slll in progress. The New
Y York Herald says extensive preparations
are being made for laying the cable, which
is TO be completed and in operation IN
1858. The distance from 81. Johns
ewfoundIand, TO the southern coast ot
Ireland is l647 miles. The cable itself
will be two thousand four hundred miles
long, the surplus being reserved to make
up for The inequalities in the bed of the
ocean, and the drifting caused by the cur
rents and winds.
Two steamers will be employed 10 lay
the cable. Each steamer will have twelve
hundred miles Of this cable on board,
weighing nine hundred tons, and alter
loning the ends OF the coils and dropping
item in the ocean, midway between the
two points of land which it is intended to
connect. will start for their separate pIa-
ces of destination. The whole work may
thus, it believed, be accomplished IN
one-haIf the time il would be required Tor
one steamer TO lay it from coast TO coast
This cable is to be less than halt the thick
ness of the three wire cables. and to weigh
only two tons to the mile, while The weight
of that lost last summer at Newfoundland
was FIVE tons 10 the mile.
