In course it is. AS to tho idea Of pleas,

please everybody, which, of course, includes
the editor himself. There arc great many
people who are very confident they could
conduct an editors paper for him much bet
ter than he can do it for himself. A trial
would convince them that they could do it
at least for fifteen minutes, if not longer,
to their own entire satisfaction. One whole

reasons for thinking some relaxation abso-
lutcly essential to their health and happi-

Il Fine Thought.-"I would not Tsaid
one who was not himself pious marry any
woman who was not Christian. I should
feel it such an honor to share n heart in
which God dwclt. 1t was fine thought,
and deserves to be specially remembered.
You want friend in whom you can
have entire and unlimited confidence; one
who can be your counsellor in all circum>
stances of difficulty or trial; one who is to
be identified with you through life, in hope
and fear, in joy and sorrow. She is to bo
a sort of presiding divinity at thy family
board, and her countcnance tho mirror in
which must be reflected the faithful image
of thy domestic bliss or woe; one who will
bo discreet affectionatc, and firm in govern
ing her children; in short, who will love
you for your own sake, bc happy with you in
cabin, and who will cleavc the closer to
you when the storm of adversely or persc-
cution shall have swept away or withorcd
every vestige Of earthly comfort from about
you. Now bear all these things in mind /;
and then to your prayersand the exercise
Of a becoming prudence, ard you will not
be likely to fliI.-B;shor Andre,o.

good substantial meal, upon which tho
powers for the day Of meeting the various
chances and changes of life depend, pro-
vldcd it be not too strong, is much to be
recommended; but whom individuals cat
little, coffee certainly supports them in a
more decided manner; and, besides this,
tea, without certain quantity of solid ali
mcnt is much moro likely to influence the
nervous systems. Somo persons, if they

system, and tako coffee in tho morning and

at night, gives nothing to support oxcrtion,

scnted TO our minds is-what advantage
will be derived from the introduction of

the interior of the great American and
Asiatic continents will hclp us to conclu-
sion. In both are vast cXtents Of country
without navigable streams or practicable
roads and cut up by deep ravines, uninhab-

! canic debris and salt. Through the one,
trade and communication are carried on
expcnsively and slowly by wagons, horses

ditlon to the same means, they are In, gcly
facilitated by the use of the camcl-a pow

is much moro difficult to travel over. Some
idea of the value of tho animal "a a trans
porter may be formed from the fact, that
in 1858 the value of merchandise transpor-
ted through Central Asia, to and from
Orangcburg on the confines Of European
Russia, on the backs of camcls, was csti-
mated at five millions Of dollars.
But, it may be said, in the progressive
spirit that marks the age: and especially
our country, we shall soon cover the interior
of America with network of railroads -
Looking at lis vast extent, and measuring
tho future by the past, VIC may ask-how
soon? In one, two, or threo centuries?
and in the meantime may not tho camels

contribute to tho building up of the very
roads in question These aro matters fo1
serious consideration, and should be cx-
anined without prejudice, and intelligcnty.
At any rate, sustained as the experiment
has been by gentlemen of known ability
and undoubted patriotism, whose only in
terest in its success is the welfare of our
common country, let us accord to it an i'm.
partial support. Fair play, gentleman, for

is now believed, says the Newark DAILY

persons have been seriously and danger
ously afflicted by the National Hotel poi

COUNTING IN CHURCH.

SVO0AAAsN AAs ~AAS~sS~~
An eccontric rector remarked a gentle
man at church who was not parishioner,
but who, Sunday after Sunday placed
himself in a pew adjoining that of a young
widow. On the first occasion, he detect
ed him silly drawing the lady's glove off
the pew where she was accustomed to
place it. { Her hand and arm were delicate
" fair. BY and By, the lady's prayer
book fell--of course accidentally from
the edge Of the pew into the gentleman's.
lie picked it up. found a leaf turned
down, and scanned passage which evil
IDENTIFY caused smile Of competency.
Our minister saw all their movements,
and continued to watch them with a
scrutinizing eye, for two succe ssive Sun
days. On the,third, as soon as the co.,
lects were read, and while yet obsiquious-
" waited to attend him to the chancel,
our eccentric pastor in a strong and dis
tinct voice said: s
publish the banns of marriage between
M--a and HI deliberately pronounc-
ing the names of the said parties.) If
any one of you know any just cause" DC.
The eyes of the whole congregation
were turned on the widow and the gay
Lothario; the lady suffused with bushes,
and the gentleman crimsoned with anger;
abe tanning herself with vehemence, and
he opening and shutting the bew door
with rage and violence. The minister.
meanwhile, proceeded though his accus-
toned duties with the same decorum and
ease, as if perfectly innocent of the agita-
ton he had excited, The sermon preach
ed and the service ended, away to the
vestry rushed the parties at the heels Of
the pastor.
"Who authorized you, sir, to make
such publication of bans - demanded
they both in breath. sas
Authorized me % said he, with a
stare that heightened their confusion.
Eyes, sir, who authorized you %
"Oh," said the minister, with sly
glance alternately at each. :" if you don't
approve of it I'll forbid the bans next
Sunday
" Sir, said the lady, you have been
too oficious already ; nobody requested
you to do any such thing. You had bet
ter mind your own business"
why. my pretty DEAR" said he pat
ting her on the cheek, "what / have done
is all in the way of business and if you do
not wish to wait for three publications,
advise you, sir, turning to the gentle
MAN. to procure the license, the ring, and
the fee, and then the whole may be settled
As soon as tomorrow"
"Well," replied the gentleman, adj
dressing the lady, with your permits
sion will get them, and We may be mar
ricd in day or two"
"Oh, you may both do as you please"
pettishly, yet nothing 10th, replied the
widow. t
1t was a day or two after that the license
was procured. The parson received his
fee, the bridegroom his bride, the widow
for the last time threw her gloves over the
pew and it was afterwards said, all par
ties were satisfied.

A WITNESS FROM THE OTHER SIDE.--We
had friendly call yesterday from Doctor
Leib, of Chicago, formerly of this city,
who is on his return from Washington,
where he had been to see the powers that
be. The Doctor was a strong Buchanan
man, and stumped Illinois for him during
the last campaign. He also published a
German paper which had a wide circula-
ton and a great influence, and was prob
ably the cause of giving that State to Mr..
Buchanan. He says that in his paper and
on the stump he pledged himself and the
Democracy that Mr.. Buchanan would
make Kansas Free State, and give the
North her full rights. Such was his own
belief. But he finds that he was deceived.
He says that the appointment of Walker,
his Secretary, and those ultra proslavery
border ruffians in that Territory to Offices,
has settled the matter, and that Kansas is
doomed to be Slave State for these
mon will go all lengths to accomplish that
purpose, and the Administration have
clothed them with full power to carry out
the object. The Doctor was in Kansas
when the troubles in that territory COM
menced, and is we'll acquainted with the
condition of things there. He knew Mr..
Buchanan, and was strong in the belief
that he entertained the same opinion of
hostility to the extension of Slavery that
be had avowed some years ago; but he
finds himself most grievously mistaken !;
and he prophecies that the course of the
new Administration on this subject will
utterly annihilate the Democratic party,
so called, in the North, which was so
terribly shattered at the election last
year.-Lancaster Pa Wig
