SY KITTY CARROLL.

Twilight, in soft and dewy robes,
So softly stealing from the west;
A. perfume on springs early gale
g. comes the hour we love the best.
The Mississippi's gurgling waves
In ripling melody sweep by
While distant hills ard peaceful wales,
Arc slowly shroudng from the eye.
The perfumed air of early spring,
Doth through the open easement creep
While all without is hushed and still,
As if it were creation 's.sleep;
Save the low melody, the chime,
The music of the vesper bills,
That wakes sweet, responsive thrill
From out "the hearts deep hidden wells. y
And at this calm and holy hour
As shadows gather o'er the hill;
What strange mysterious hourhts will ceme,
sg Tamultuously the heart to thrill,
The heart will lingcr o'rr the scenes,
The sunny hours of other y"ns-
Ere the gay tones grew changed aud sad,
And smiles, gave place to bitter tears.
IT'S then peace, a joy serene
Steals DER the hear for He who spake,
Those 500 hing words, to aching hearts,
"A bruised reed I Will not brcak;'
Bay, is not then this twilight ur,.
y By our Creator, kindly given
To brighten up the gold n link,
That binds us to our home in Heaven?

SOUTHERN MARTYRS Eli Thayer's late
speech in the House seems to have been quite
as singular production as his first. The
Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Ere-
ming Post gives the following account of it
He represented the Southern people as the
most self sacrificing, Christian and devoted
people in the world. hey viewed slavery as
Christian and humanizing to the African,
and had been for, years sacrificing their com.
merce, agriculturs, and the evelopment, OF
the resources of the whole South to that
! great work. There was nothing like it IN
Fox's Book Of Martyrs!

TRUE AS PREAcHlNG.-The Phila-

man can borrow himself out Of debt.
If you wish for relief, you must work
for it, economizc for it. You must
wear homespun instead Of broadcloth,
drink water instead of champagne, and
rise at four instead Of seven. Indus
try, frugality, economy-these are the
landmarks of wealth, and the sure
sources Of relief. A dollar earned is
worth ten borrowed, and dollar saved
is better than forty times its amount in
useless gewgavs. Try our scheme, and

SPIRIT OF TIE LECnMPToN CoMBATANTs.
"A Washington correspondent of the n. Y.
Times writes:
There il a marked bitterne>s on the part of
| the Southern Democrats towards Douglas
'huy have transferred their hat ed OF the
Republicans to him, and their chief anxi ty
n"w is, that he should not reap the reward
Of his 'treacIery.' have very little ,ubt
that, if comp lied to choose between Doug
las and Seward for President, the whole band
OF Pr slavery fire eaters, with Toombs at
their head, would vote for the latter. Mr..
Douglas, on his part, is by no means mealy-
m"nthed or over fastidious in his expressions
# opinion. At an early stage of his defec.
tion,-while he was having interviews with
the President, in u hopes that they might
come to some agreement the latter remark
ed to him that il was very perious for pub
lie nan to put himself in opposition t" his
party, and that he must take the liberty of
reminding HIN of the tate of Rives and Tall
madge, who reb.lltd against the policy OF
Gen. jackson. Permit me, Mr.. President"
Mr.. Douglas replied, -''Permit me to remind
you that Gen. Jackson IS dead' This is
very much the tone which the Illinois Ser
ator has taken throughc ut this coEtest,-and
it mnst be confessed that it is not eminently
conciliatory.

sD Reader, did you know that ev-
cry column Of newspaper contained
from ten to twenty thousand distinct
pieces of metal, misplacing one of
these would cause a blunder or typo
graphical error? With this curious
fact before you, don't you wonder at
the general accuracy Of newspapers p
Knowing this fact you will feel more
disposed, We hope, to excuse than to
magnify the errors of the press.

OBsRRyANcE OF THE PASSOVER IN
NEW YoRK.-This is the first day of
the Passover week, a season strictly
observed by all Israelites all over the
world, in commemorasion of the exodus
of their ancestors from Egypt, as har-
rated in the book Of Genesis. The
circumstances are peculiar and interest
ing. The disciples Of Judaism are
strictly prohibited from eating fermen-
Ted bresd, or even of tasting malt liq-
aors. Instead Of the former they eat
Passover cakes, which consist of -four
and water only. Great attention is
tsken that these cakes shall be free
from all impurity. They arc made un-
der the direct supervision Of persons
who stand high in the Synagogue, who
inspect the reaping Of the WHEAT, its
conversion into flour, its removal to the
bakery, and it's final transformation IN
to the sacred bread. The manufacture
Of this Passover bread has been going
on for several weeks in this city, and
its place Of sale is indicated by a poster
ofHebiew characters posted up at diff.
ferent places. Five hundred barrels Of
-four have been thus far used in its man
ufactufe-an amount which will not ap.
pear large when it is considered tha
there are more than $4,000 Jews il
this city and suburbs, who, for one
whole week will touch no other kind oi
bread. 1t has been hitherto sold a
eight cents per pound, but now, owing
Of course, to the cheapness of -four
can beahad for six cents per pound
Tie xealthier Israelites have organized
asociety to supply their poor brethrel
with Passover Cakes Times, 29h

How TO GET RELIGION AT one of
the prayer meetings at Eurton's Thea
tire, Henry Ward Beecber said:
He Was strongly impressed with the
idea that there should not be occasion
for so much individual labor as there
is. lie could conceive the necessity of
it in heather country, where the gos-
pei is proclaimed for the first time, but
here, where the truths Of Christianity
have been so long and repeatedly
taught-where we have heard little else
it seemed to him that men did not
need, in this respect, to 60 through
with another training. lie believed
there was not man present incapable
of being a Christian tefore sundown.
But there are many who lay out a
plan for being converte /, by supposing
that they must at first be serious fer
two or three days, then have week Of
being anxious, and then finally 60
through He'll Gate and become Chris
tian. 1t Was, he thought, a shame for
man to lay out such plan. A man
should take his resolution, aid act on
it at once.
There was an idea that unless there
was some leader in the case, a deacon
or clergyman, a mans conversion
could not be complete; but he believed
that Christianity was between q mans
heart and his God, and that he needed
not these appliances. There was not a
man in the house, who, If he choose
could not go home that night, an tc
the amazemeut of his wife and children
ask Gods blessing upon his dinner il
a Christian spirit for the first time.

toaologist, and had the largest collection of
insects that was ever accumulated by any
private Individual in this country since the
days of Noah. Some wicked students
thought to quiz the old gentleman, and, with
a good deal of care and labor, succeeded in
manufacturing nondescript insect by TAX
ing the body of beetle and gluing it TO the
legs of grasshopper, the wings Of the but
terfy, and the horns of the dragon fly
With this new style of bug they proceeded
to the study of the Professor, and told him
thst one of their number had found strange
animal, which they were unable to classify,
and requested him to aid them in defining
its position. the Professor put on his spec
tacles,. and after examining the specimen
carefully, said, "Wel, young gentlemen, this

Beer, Wine and cider Exempted.
Mr.. Rusch, of Scott county, introduced
into the Senate, Just before the close of the
late session of the General Assembly a bill
exempting beer, wine and cider, made of
fruits grown in this state, from the provis
ions of the Prohibitory Liquor Law. 1t was
amended by provision furnishing the mix
ing of spirits with beer, wine or cider,
and also by providing for the release of a
per on imprisoned for drunkenness, on his
| testfying where. when and of whom he got
| the liquor. As amended, it was adopted

! A correspondent of the Burlington Hawk
eye says:
Two Republicans-namely, Carter, and
Davis, of Polk, voted against it; and two
Democrats, " arner and Wilson, voted for it
Seventeen Republicans voted for 1t; eigh1
Demo rats and two Kepublicans voted
against it 1t was evidently a Republican
concession to the German people of Iowa.
And it remains to be seen whether those who
voted for it will not lose more than they will
gain by it, as individuals or as Il party fol
it will throw wide open all the lesser intox-
icating drinks, and defeat the little remain.
ing force of the Liquor Law. Everything
will be sold under the exceptions granted by
this bill.
The bill went to the House and was
adopted by barely constitutional majority
We fear it will totally defeat the object Of
the Prohibitory Law. Mess great caution
is observed by the executors of the law, all
manner Of intoxicating drinks will be sold
as above intimated, under the name OF
cheer, wine or cder.' 1t will be difficult to
make the distinction between them and
other LIQUORS

A Few THINGS WHICH EVERYBODY.
OUGHT TO KKow.-A quart Of peas
sown in shallow box, Is inches wide
by % long, at any time of the year,
and cut when about 4 or S inches high,
and boiled like spinach with a little salt,
makes a most delicious dish. In April
and May, late potatoes should always
be peeled some ten or twelve hours, and
stepped in cold spring water before
they are cooked. This is great inn
provement. It makes the potatoes
nearly as good as those dug i'll October.
The proper way to make a cup Of good
tea, is a matter OF some Importance
The tea pot is at once filed up with
boiling water; then the tea is put into
the pot, and is allowed to stand FIVE
minutes before it is used. The leaves
gradually absorb the water, and as
gradual y sink to the bottom. The re-
suit is, that the tea leaves are not scald-
cd, as they are'when boiling water is
poured over them, and you get all the
true flavor of the tea.
a MOTHERS LovE.-The love of
mother is never exhausted, it never
changes, it never tires. A father may
turn his back on his child, brothers aud
sisters may become inveterate enemies,
husbands may desert their wives, wives
their husbands. But mothers love
endures through all ; in good repute, in
bad repute, in the face Of the worlds
condemnation, a mother still loves on,
and hopes that her child may turn from
his evil ways, and repent; still she re-
members the infant smiles that once
filled her bosom with rapture, the mer-
ry laugh, the joyful shout Of his child
hood, the opening promise Of his youth;
and she can never be brought to think
him all unworthy.
