The voice of dead Nations.

Mr.. a ger, in his recent celebrated ora
tion, uttered the following impressive pas
age, which ought to be written on the
statute books of every State n the Union:
The dt ad nations whose giant skele-
tons now lie bleaching and crumbling on
the sands of time, all died of sin. 1t was
their crimes. that dug their graves, and
pushed them in. Licentious luxury sap.
ped the foundation strength, and rotied
the live virtue of one-aud it disappear
ed beneath the green pool of it's own cor
ruption. Brutal war made business of
and carried in every direction, drew mp
on another the combined wrath of the
world-and it as dashed upon the rock
OF its own barbarous force. Domestic
bondage, grown enormous, trodden under
foot, and goaded to madness, rose on an
other-apd buried it in the conhagration
and slaughter of its own proyocation.---
Internal antipathies based on sectional
differences, fed by selfish interests and
tauniing debate, finally exploded in the
9uarrelsome parties of anotber-aDd hurl-
ed its discovered fragments to ruin by the
convulsiVe eruption of its own wrong aud
hatred. Ofall the mighty empires hose
melancholy ghosts now pace the paid
margin of oblivion, not one ever sunk but
its own fall was through internal iniquity
in some way or other Shall the stately
shade of republican America too 60 down
to join the doleful company of crowned
speetres, moving them beneath to rise up
at her coming with the sardonic mock,
cart thou also as wel" If We would =
void their doom of vengeance We must
not tread their path of guilt"

The Art of Printing.

Perhaps there is no department of en-
terprise, whose details are less understood
by intelligent people than "the art pre-
servatiye achievement of the types.
Every day, their lives long, they are
accustomed to read the newspaper, to find
fault with its statements, its looks; to
plume themselves upon the discovery of
some roguish and acrobatic types that
get in frolic and stands upon it's head;
or some word with waste letter or two
in it; but of the process by which the
newspapers is made; of the myriads of
motions and the thousands of pieces ne
cessary to its composition, they know lit
tie and think less.
They immagine they discourse of a
wonder, indeed, when they talk of the
fair white carpet woven for though to
work Oh, of the rags that huttered upon
the back of the beggar yesterday.

AN INCIDENT ON 4 WESTERN RAIL

express was coming out of Indianapolis,
last Saturday morning, on the Bellfon-

couple of Ohio bulloeks 6ghting on the
track. Instead of reversing his engine or
whistling down the brakes. more steam
was applied and the engine, running at
the rate of forty miles an hour struck the
bullocks in very peculiar manner; throw
ing them sufficiently high 10 the air to al
low the whole train to pass under them.
Their motion in the air reversed their po-
sition so that when they struck the ground
they were headed in different direction,
and each marched on. supposing be had

Who is hel Why the man who, after
enjoying the privilege, with his wife and
children, of reading newspaper every
week for months and years and obtaining
therefrom instruction and amusement,
leaves town for-Do one knows where;
without settling for his paper, and COM
pelling the postmaster to order it stopped.
We have felt bad on knowing that just
such miserable creature as this has been
in the weekly receipt of our paper! We
hope tor decency's sake. that there is not
another such worthless parsonage on
our subscription list--if there is We may
give his name and residence a gratuitous
insertion in our columns.
Members of the fraternity, do you know
of a meaner man than one who acts thus!
In our opinion,

And rake down all creation,
You couldn't find a meaner man in
This here mighty nation"

Jared Mil'ikcn was the tailor of BIZ.

and bIs custom was Oh the increase. Ja-
red sat upon his board all alone, with
part Of coat on bis kDees, and his thin.

upon t as promise. He had talked to
her Of love, and she had smiled, and spo.
ken of love in return. And then be bad
tasted the necter of her sweet lips. Yes,
he had kissed her hundred times, and
she had kissed him n return.
So Jared Milliken was very happy
If he sighed, it was for love; and if be
had a wish unful6iied, it was th at he were
already married.
Thus Jared sat, when the door was up-
tremendously thrown open, and man

Yes, it's me-
'Why, Jerry HopkiDsl | am glad to

He was the tailor OF Bimtown. Bimtown

THE EVENING HEARTHsToNE.

Gladly now we gather round it
For the loiling day is done,
And the gray and solemn twilight
Follows down the golden sun;
Shadows lengthen on the pavement.
Stalk like giants through the gloom,
Wanders past the dusty easement.
Creep around the fre-lit room;
Draw the curtain, close the shutters,
Place the slippers by the fire
Though the rude winds loudly mutter,
What care we for wind-splt's ire!
What care we for outward seeming,
FIckle Fortunes lrowniug smile,
Ii around us love is beaming!
Love can human ills beguile.
Meath the cottage rude and palace,
From the peasant TO the king,
AL are quaffing from Lfe's chalice,
Bubbles that enchantment bring.
Crates are glowing, music flowing,
From those lips we love best.
o! the JOY, the bliss Of knowing
There are hearts on which to rest.
Hearts that throb with eager gladGess-
Hearts that echo to our own
With what care and haunting sadness
MIngle ne'er in look or tone.
Gaze may tread the halls of daylight,
Sadness haunt the midnight hour,
But the wiered and witching twilight
Brings the glowing hearthstone dover.
After of our hollest feelings,
Chi ldhood's Well-remembered shrine,
Spirit yearulngs, soul rescaljngs,
Vreaths immortal round thee twine.
