PASSING AwAY.-Passing away !
All things are passing away. Oh !! how
swiftly time speeds on a few more
short seasons may glide swiftly by us,
and then we, unnoticcd, must pass away
from earth, as cloud-tints from the sky.
Then summer, as now, with its merry
birds, its cool refreshing showers bring
ing in their train the bright and beau
.;ffui flowers which will bloom as sweet
ly as before. The world will be as gay,
the sun shine as bright, everything will
be beautiful as if we had never mingled
with the scenes of earth.
Our friends may keep cur memories
enshrincd within their hearts for a sea-
son, and then be as gay as of old forget
ting TO plant flowers over the friend wlO
has been laid in the cold, cold grave and
as time rolls on with lightning speed,
they viii! also pass away, and then we
will be as if we had never been.
Why do We cling so closely to earth?
What is it that burns within us that will
not forget? 1t has become dust; it is
somcthiog that would find a place of
sweet repose, a memory in Kindred
hearts; but it cannot be so; a few years
and We shall be equally forgotten; and
why should the thought give US pain?-
We know that all thugs must pass
away.

Ladies' should Read Newspapers

Some sensible individual, whether man
or woman VIC know not, has written the
very sensible paragraph, which we APP
pend below. Ladies' who do not read
the newspapers, know but little truly
Of the mental, moral, political and reli-
gious improvements Of our times. An
instance occur ed in this city not long
since, which substantiatcs to the letter,
the truth of the foregoing sentence
\ lady called upon a neighbor. Among
other tropics of conversation introduced
was the recent great religious awaken
ing, which, to use the beautiful lam
guage of Heber with but a slight alter
alton, sis like a sea of glory, spreading
from pole to pole."-Ncighbor was per-
fectly ignorant of the revival which was
sweeping over the country; had not heard
of it; and expressed utter amazement at
the revelations of her lady friend. Up
on enquiry, it vas ascertained that not
a ne~wspapaper was taken at the house.
Astounding fact; but not less astounding
than true. Ladies, if you would be ad-
vised of what is transporting in this great
country of ours-indced in all the
world-take a I newspaper. 1t will make
you wise in much that pertain to your
present as we'll as eternal welfare.
here is the paragraph to which We have
already referred:
Z 1t is one great mistake in female educa-
.tion to keep a young lady's time and
attention devoted to only the fashion
able literature. of the day. lfyou would
qualify her for conversation, you must
give her something to talk about-give
her education with this actual world
and its transporting events. Urge her
to read newspapers and become familiar
with the present character and improve
ment of our race. History is of some
Importance. but the past world is dead,
7, andwe have nothing to do with it.
T Our thoshts and our concerns should
be for the present world, to know what
it is and improve the condition of it.
Let her have an intelligent opinion, and
be able to sustain an able conversation,
concerning the mental moral political
and religious Improvement of our
times. Let the gilded annual poems on
the centretadle be kept IA part of the
time covered with weekly and daily jour
mails. Let the whole family, men wom-
en- and children-read the newspapers.

Cure for tie Bite Of a Mad Dog,

A writer in the National Intelligencer
says that spirits of La, tshorn is a GER
tain remedy for the bite of a mad dog.
The wound. he adds, should be constant
ly bathed with it, a~nd4hree or four doses,
diluted, taken inwardly during the day.
Tx hartshorn ~decomposes, chemically,
the virus INSULATED into the wound, i'm
mediately alters and destroys its dele
te~riousncss. The writer, who resided
in Brazil for some time, first tried it for
the bite of a scorpion, and found that it
removed pain and inflammation almost
instantly. Subsequently, he tried it
for the bite of a rattlesnake, with similar
success. At the suggestion of the wri-
ter, an old friend and physician tried it
in cases of hydrophobia, and always
with success.

Ohe sweet solemn thought
Comes to me DER and DER;
I'm nearer home to-day
Than I've ever been before.
Nearer my Fathers house,
Where the many mansions be,
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the jasper sea.
Nearer the bond of life,
Where we lay u burdens down;
Nearer leaving my cross,
Nearer wearing the crown.

Curious Statistics.

Old Wrinkles is the very devil on fig
urcs-mathematics is his forte-he
reduces everything to a mathematics
calculation basis. If you meet Wrink
les and ask him to take a drink, he al
once calculates the chances of his meet
ing you again in a given length of time.
He saw US throw away a cigar not wholly
consumed, there being at least an inch
of good tobacco which might have been
smoked had we been so disposed, and he
agance. We said it was a small matter,
but Wrinkle launched out into his ex-
%ternanl mathematics, saying.
There are twenty-five thousand persons
in this city who each smoke an average
OF four cigars a day, costing three cents
each average, which amounts in the
aggregate to the sum of foul thousand
dollars a day expenGcdin cigars, of each
one of these cigars an average of at
least one third is thrown away unsmok-
ed so that during each day ono thou
sand three hundred and thirty three dol
lars three and one third cents ar thrown
away destroyed, lost in wasted tobacco,
in di:carding cigar stumps. Add that
up for the year, continued wrinkles, and
sec what a startling sum total is produ-
ced-how many persons could be made
comfortable, by what is flung into the
cutters in cigar stumps.
Wrinkles is so enthusiastic on this
point that he talks of getting up Il soci-
ETY. to turn cigar stumps into snuff, and
the snuff into cash With the cash he
says every poor family in this city can
be kept in fuel and butchers meat.
Wrinkles is a progressive. Three cheers
for Wrinkles.
