Working Girls.


1t is really refreshing, in these times
of idleness and extravaganza, to find a
girl or woman who knows how to work
who is not ashamed to work, and who
does work, not alone at the piano or with
the embroidery needle, though these are
very proper in their proper places, but
in the kitchen and at the h.use-work :;
who can sew, and knit, and churn, and
make bread, and bake it, well too young
ladies who don't dress beyond their
means and the sidewalks, to the distress
of afectionate and indulgent husbands
and fathers, and to whom the appropriate
Scripture comparison will not apply
behold, "they toll not, neither do they
spin, yet Solomon in all his glory was
not arrayed like one Of these" women,
remembering the high destiny for which
they were created, who labor industri-
ously day by day, proving that there is a
nobler and higher purpose in life than
that of exhibiting costly dry goods.
Happy girls : who can but love them?
With checks like roses, bright eyes, and
elastic step, how checrfulIy they go about
their work Our reputation for it,
young man, marry one OF these, and you
will get an excellent wife. Blessed in
deed are the men who secure such prizes
as these. What a contrast to those who
do nothing but dance all night and sigh
and simper all day whose highest am
btion is to follow the fashions, and who,
when not in readiness to "receive calls, .
do nothing but rec,inc upon the sofa
from one weeks eud to anot her, reading
the last new novel Who but a simple
ton could prefer the latter to the former
for a companion--a wife? Give us the
former; they are worth their wei ght in
gold always at premium among SEN
sible men, because the commodity is so
scarce, that the demand always exceeds
the supply. When you meet them or
speak to them, they can reply without

4 Revolutionary Can,son-Hall Fired.

In Norfolk, Virginia, on the afternoon
of the I'd of July, certain persons who
were mindful Of what was due TO the
proper celebration Of Independence Day,
came to the conclusion to clean out an
old cannon which had been laang around
ever since the revolutionary war, with a
view to preparing it for the firing of a
salute. After trying considerable
length of time 10 clear 1t out from the
muzzle, and finding it impossible, they
went to work at the vent OF touch hole.
This was soon opened, ana BY dint Of
perseverance the dirt within the chamber
was hauled out by the thimbles-full, till
room enough was made to pout in an
ounce or two of gu9powdcr The piece
was then prined, and tie match applied,
when. very much to their surprise, al

from the mouth Of tn" piccn, something

a crashing Of the wood IN the door OF

An invest igation showed respectable

inside an old six pound cannon-baIl was
found on the Goor. The old cannon had

DIR. Cubeb's Discontinue.

We take the following from the Chi
cago Press, written, we suppose, by the
clever and amusing " Local of that
paper:
DR.. Cubeb is one of the most amiable
of our bachelor physicians. a general
favorite with heads Of families, particu-
larly the ladies, and the admiration of
the little folk, DR.. Esculapius Cubeb
moves placidly and swectly through the
world. He has somewhat Of q philoso-
phical turn, loves to speculate upon ab-
struse subjects, is especially great in the
discussion of the development and pro-
gress of the terminating intellect of
childhood upon which, to fond mo-
theirs and partial aunts, on some occasion
when a bright little scion Of household
furnished the theme, he has been known
to expatiate learnedly and eloquently.
A few evenings since the Dr. formed
one Of party assembled in a pleasant
parlor in the West Division. Little
Bobby, bright eyed elf of three years
old, had been the pct of the guests
There was a pause in the conversation,
and the Doctor, glancing at the young
ster, saw his blue eyes fixed upon hi'"
with calm, earnest gaze, which at once
caught the attention of the man of sci
ence. The gaze was continued and the
Doctor watched with interest amounting
to enthusiasm the features Of little Bob
by. 4" HIRE quoth the medical man
to himself, Il may gain triumphant
proof of the fact that children do think,
and think deeply. Would that | could
learn the thoughts now passing through
that infant mind Oh to drink thus a
fresh draught of natur1s own teaching,
untrammelled, unfettered by art and the
comnonplaces Of soci}ty.' The silence
was broken by the youngstcr.
Mother, I'm thinking
Hush, Bobby" said the lady, who
began to fear that Master Bobby was
pushing himself into n,tice rather fast
:" Hush, Bobby; let Mary take him to
bed"
" Mother, I'm thinking" - the blue
eyes still fixed on the Doctor.
Never mind, Bobby be good boy
and say good night to the ladies and
gentlemen.
Here Cubeb interposed "Now, Mr.,
T., let me insist on letting Bobby tell us
of what he was thinking There is SO
much freshness and truth in these little
folks, that it will be interesting to know
what has been passing through his
mind"
Thus abiurcd, the mother turned to
Master Bobby. Well, what was Bob
by thinking about ?"
/" Ma, | was thinking how much Dot
tur KnJeb looks kkc q monksy''
| There was a pause, al awful pause
the ill-fated Cubeb turned all the hues of
the rainbow, one or two Of the guests
coughed earnestly, and the mother, to
smooth over the matter, said:
Why, Bobby, you never saw a mon
| key in your life,
80 yes, ma, seed one on a little
stand with the moosic, and he did just
as Dosur Kubeb does. And little
Bobby buried his chubby fists in his
plump chin, aud attempted to assume at
once a favorite position Of DIR. Cubcb in
leaning his chin upon the head of his
staff
There was laugh all round, in which
however, the Doctor joined but feebly
aud soon after took an occasion to plead
a professional engagement He has dis
coursed very little lately about the
q" freshness and truth of the expressions
of childhood" ;"

Major Jack Downing thus relates a
conversation he had with Mr. Buchan-
all on Utah;-Oid Buck is a good DIAL
riled with Brigham Young, who, with
his one hundred wives, has created Il re
bclllon-whcn Old Buck hasn't oac that
he can call his own. lfoue created a re-
bellion in the Garden Of Eden when she
had man and ought to bin satisfied, it
isn't wonderful that one hundred should
do the like in Utah having only one
among EN- all. Says |, Bucky, did you
ever see union and harmony where there 5
a hundred wimen and but one man;---it' 5
agin all mater to expect it-and the only
way to bring matters to good starting
point, il to see each woman has her man.
Yes, but said old Buck, then every man
would be obliged to hcy his woman. Yes,
sartin, sez |. Well, then, sez he, they d
blame me for the hull of this troublo and
say J. d set en- bad example. That's so,
sez |, and since you drur so many women
to take up with one man bokasa you re-
fused to take your sheer, it is your duty
to make EN- live pcaceabls as they aro.
or else break up the whole thing by re
forming and setting every old bachelor &

The Merry Heart.
BY HENRY IL. MILJAS.

would not from the wise require
The lumber of their learned lore;
Nor would from the rich desire
A single counter of their store.
For have ease, and have health,
And have spirits light as air;
And more than wisdom--more than wealth.
A merry heart that laughs at care,
Elkc other mortals of my kind,
Eve struggled for dame Fortunes favor;
And sometimes have been half inclined
To rate her for her i'll behavior.
But life was short--I thought it folly
To lose its moments in despair;
So slipped aside from melancholy,
With merry heart that laughed at care.
And once, tits true. two witching eyes
Surprised me in luckless season;
Turned all my mirth to lonely sighs,
And quite subdusd my better reason,
Yet twas but love could make me grieve,
And love, you know, s reason fair;
And much improved, as believe,
The merry heart that laughed at care.
So now from idle wishes clear;
make the good may not find;
Adown the stream gently steer,
And shift my sail with every wind
And half by nature half by reason,
Can still with plant heart prepare,
The mind attuned to every season,
The merry heart that laughs at care.
Yet wrap me in your sweetest dream,
Ye social feelings Of the mind;
Give, sometimes give, your sunny gleann,
And let the rest good humor find.
Yes--let me hail and welcome give
To every jey my lot may share;
And pleased and pleasing, let me live
With merry heart that laughs at care.

Poisoned Liquors.

DR.. Hiram Cox, chemical inspector of
alcoholic liquors in Cincinnati, says that
during two years he has made 2f9 in
spections of various kinds Of liquors, and
has found more than nine-tenths of them
limitations, and great portion of them
poisonous coneoctions. OF brandy he
does not believe there is one gallon of
pure in 100 gallons, the limitations hav-
ing corn whisky for a basis, and various
poisonous acids for condiments. OF
wines, not a gallon in 1000, purporting
to be sherry, port, or sweet Malaga, Is
pure, but they are made of water, sui
phuric acid, Guinea pepper, alum, horse
radish, and many of them without SIM
gle drop of alcoholic spirits. DIR. Cox
warrants there are not ten gallons of
genuine port wine in Cincinnati. In
his inspections of whisky, he has found
only from Il to 20 per cent. of alcoholic
spirits, when il should have from 45 to
so, and some Of it contains sulphuric
acid enough in a quart to eat hole
through a mans stomach. As whisky is
now the favorite beverage, these facts
are worth consideration. If about fifty
of these adulterators could be caught and
hung, it would be blessing to the com
munlty
