A GRAVE JOKE,


There have been many stories told of Col.
Ethan Allen, Of revolutionary memory. The
following, though DID, is not bad one:
Tic was one evening at party where his we'll
known courage was the theme Of conversation.
Gle fears nothing" said one. "And would
wager any amount that he would not hesitate
to go into the church yard across the way, and
bring skull from one Of the open tombs there
added another. The wager was agreed upon,
and one Of the party suddenly left the apart
ment as Allen entered it. The absent bon-vi-
want procured sheet whitened his face, and re-
paired to one of the vaults in question, with the
view of frightening the old veteran, should
he have the temerity to further the wish
es OF the company. Allen was made ac-
quainted with the nature of the wager, and
without moments hesitation, said he would
bring the required skull and lay it ON the table.
He wet to the vault and laid his hand on one.
when his concealed acquaintance cried out in a
sepulchral tone, "THAT's M1NE!" every we'll"
replied Allen, and he picked up another
THAT'S MINE Too!" replied the same voice.
''That can't be true," returned the undaunted
hero, 'for no man can have two skulls" Upon
this he quickly left the vault, with the n,en,en-
to maori in his hand; his friend following in hot
haste, half frightened out of his senses. Allen,
however soonest reached the room, where he had
left his companions, and placing the skull upon
the table, exclaimed: "There, gentlemen, there
you have it; but look at it quickly, for the fell
low is close behind that owns it." The man in
the sheet Immediately came in, and the laugh
was universal against him.

A BEAUTIFUL PICTITRE.

The man who stands upon his own soil, who
feels that by the law of the land in which he
ives--by the laws of civilized nations
ne is the rightful and exclusive owner of the
land which he tills, is by the constitution Of our
nature under wholesome influence not easily
lmblbed from any other source. He feels other
things being equal-more strongly than anoth-
er, the character of a man as lord of the ANNA
ted world-of this great and wonderful sphere,
which, fashioned by the hand of God. and up
held by his power, is rolling through the heav-
ems, q part Of his-his from center to the sky.
1t is the space on which the generation before
moved in it's round of duties, and he feels him
self connected by visible link with those who
follow him, and to whom he is to transmit a
home. Perhaps his farm has come down to him
from his fathers. They have gone to their last
home but he can trace their footsteps over the
scenes Of his daily labors
The roof which shelters him was reared by
those to whom he owes his being. Some inter
estlng domestic traditions is connected with
every enclosure. The favorite fruit tree was
planted by fathers hand. He sported in
boyhood beside the brook that winds through
the meadow. Through the field lies the path
to the village school of earlier days. He still
hears from the window the voice of the Sab
bath bell which called his father to the house
of God; and near at hand is the spot where
his parents laid down to rest, and where, when
his time has come, he shall, by his children.
These are the feelings of the soil. Words can
not paint them--gold cannot buy them; they
flow out of the deepest fountains Of the heart;
they are the life springs of a fresh, healthy
and generous national character.--Everett.

A MOTHERS COUNSEL.
-Harkon now mn, CON.

-Harken now my son:
We who have sailed far down the stream of life
Know better than those nearer to it's source
Where lie its perilous rapids, shoals, and falls.
You cannot take her with you whom you have
Most wisely chosen, and absence like long
drought
Withers the flower of love, or other chance
May leave you loyerless-and should you have
10 choose again-nay, start not-let her be,
A woman worthy Of a true mans love.
Use ears as we'll as eyes-she should be praised
By those who knew her, but who fear her not:
And from her lips should fall, like summer dew,
Words wise and holy. Oh, we'd not wife
Whose tongue is like clock that has no dial,
Which goes, but to no purpose; and beware,
Let no foul gold-sores leprosy your choice,
The kiss OF Judas once was given for gold
A kiss which scorched his hard and icy soul.
And be not dazzled by pretty face;
A phosphorescent sea has rocks below,
And fair hued flowers may have a worm within.
A face shown through by piety and love
Is beautiful, whatever be it's mould
kind words and kinder deeds
Are gentle rain to the sweet flower of love-
oh blow not on it with the blighting breath
OF anger or of sarcasm, lest its leaves
Fall futtering to the ground; let no harsh words
Strip off the flowers from an unyiclding bond
Which links you to each other Even in Jest
Let not the mocking sprite of banter taste
Her gentle patience J. JACKSON.

Our Novel.
FD8 LD1NR @(8UF[DD,
n E W EN- AND TRAG GEDY

SO two years passed by. Mchetible
grew tall and learned, but knew little
more of the outside world than ever; her
father had learned to love her, and taught
her to adore him; still shy and timid the
village offered no temptation to her, SO
tar as society went; and Judge Hyde was
beginning to feel that for his child's men
tai health some freer atmosphere was fast
becoming necessary, when relentless
writ was served upon the Judge himself,
and one that no man could evade paral-
ysis smote him, and the strong man Law
Observation-Disclosures bedridden.
Now the question of life seemed set
tied for Hitty; her father admitted no
nursing but hers Month after month
rolled away, and the numb grasp gradu-
ally loosed it's hold on flesh and sense,
but still Judge Hyde was bedridden.-
Year afted year passed by, and no change
tor better or worse ensued. Hitty's life
was spent between the two parlors and
the kitchen; for the room her dead moth
er had so decorated was now furnished
as bed room for her fathers use; and
her own possessions had been removed
into the sitting-room next it, that, Sleep
ing or waking, she might be within call.
All the family portraits held conclave
In the other front-parlor, and it's north
and east windows were shut all the year,
save on some sultry summer day when
Keery flung them open to dispel damp
and must, and the school-children stared
in reverentially, and wondered why old
Madam Hyde's eyes followed them as far
as they could see. Visitors came now
and then to the kitchen-door, and usurp-
ed Keery's fag-bottomed chair, while
they gossiped with her about village af-
talrs; now and then friendly spinster
with budget of good advice called Hit
ty away from her post, and, after an
hours vain effort to get any news worth
retailing about the Judge from those pale
lips, retired full of disappointed curiosity
to tell how stiff that Mehetible HYDE
was, and how hard it was to make her
speak word to one! Friends were what
Hitty read of in the spectator" and
longed to have; but she knew none of
the Greenfield girls since she left school
and the only companion she had was

SLEEPING ROOMS

The largest part of our rest is taken in sleep.
Of course, the kind of room in which we sleep
is worthy of consideration. Hufeland SAYS:
1T must not be forgotten that we spend con-
siderable portion of our lives in the bed-cham-
Der, and consequently that it's healthincss or
unhealthiness connot fail to have very impor
tant influence upon our well being" It should,
at least, be large. That is of prime Importance,
because during the several hours that we are in
bed we need to breathe great deal of air. and our
health is injured when wesare obliged to breathe
it several times over.
We should at least pay as much attention to
the size situation, temperature and cleanliness
of the room we occupy during the hours of re-
pose, as to the parlors or drawing room, or any
other apartment. And yet how different from
this is the general practice of families. The
smallest room in the house is commonly set
apart for the bed and it's nightly occupants.
The slecping-room should have good loca-
tion, so as to be dry. 1t should be kept clean,
and neither too hot nor too cold. And more i'm
portant still, it should be well ventilated. One
bed occupied by two persons is as much as
should over be allowed in single room; though
two beds in large room are of course no worse
than one in small one. Both are objectiona-
ble.-Dr. Warren.

THE REASON WHY.
Do you wish to know the reason,
Why your neighbor often calls
On the dashing Widow Wilkins,
And attends her to the balls?
Why his carriage is seen stopping
At some noted clothing store,
And the widow goes a-shopping
Where she never went before?
If you wish it, will tell you--
Let me whisper to you sly
If they esteem it proper,
It is not your business ,vhy.
Do you wish to know why Peter
Has forsaken friends and home,
And left his native county,
In distant land to roam?
Why Polly seems so lonely
Since the day that Peter left,
And of all friends, she the only,
Should appear to be bereft?
If you wish it, l will tell you--
Let me whi 'per to you sly
If they have reason for it,
1t is not your business a0hy.
Would you like to know the secrets
Of your neighbor's house and life!
How he lives, or how he doesn't,
And just how he treats his wife?
How he spends his time of leisure,
Whether sorrowful or gay,
And where he goes for pleasure,
10 the concert or the play!
If you wish it, l will tell you
Let me whisper to you sly
If vow neishhcr is but civil,
1t is not your business why.
In short, instead of prying
Into other folks affairs,
If you do your own but justice,
You will have no time for theirs,
BE attentive to such matters
AS concerns yourself alone,
And whatever fortune hatters,
Let your business be your own.
One word by way Of fnis-
Let me whisper to you sly
If you wish to be respected
You must cease to bo pry.

THE PACIFIC
Commercial Advertiser.
THURSDAY. JULY 81.

JULY Il.
The European news brought by the Yankee,
is of great interest, and indicates more certainly
than before that the war will not be confined to
the three nations by which it has been COM
menced, but that ere long Switzerland, Prussia,
the German States, and in fact all Europe, not
excepting England, may be involved in it. Al
though nominally, the freedom of Italy is the
avowed cause of the war, yet really it is rivalry
between France and Austria-the eruption of a
hatred between them which has been growing
for years, and which can only satisfy itself by a
testing of strength on the battle field. That
Prussia and the German states will soon side with
Austria every days dispatches render more GER
tain. That England will come to the aid of
with Austria, but is the naturalally of Prussia.
In all probability Russia will side with France,
yet her course is not SO clear.
Should the war take the turn that we have in
dicated--and the most reliable journals in Amer
lea and England point out this as the probable
issue-it will be a long and bloody strife. Aus
tria will then become the chief scene of the war
on land, while the British channel will be the
scene of terrific naval engagements.
Perhaps a resume of the war news here will
not be amiss. Our English papers are to the 23d
of May, and the news of later date is telegraphed
to New Orleans, and consequently is very meagre.
The Emperor Napoleon left Paris ON the 10th of
May, accompanied by his aids, some eight or ten
of the Marshals of France. He arrived at Genoa
in Italy on the 18th, and at Alexandria on l4th.
At that date the strength of the three armies
was as follows Sandman, about 80, 900; French,
AA~-k 4 On mn -c- e -Lsl

boundary between Sardinia and Austrian terri
tory.
On the 2lst of May the hrst engagement took
place between about 10000 Austrians and some
Is, 900 French troops near Monticello, a small
town near the Sandman boundary, in which the
Austrians were repulsed.
On the 10Th the Sardinians, under their King,
met and repulsed the Austrians at the river Sesia.
The effect of these two engagements was that the
Austrian forces were retreating into the Lombar-
dian territory, and would probably concentrate a
very strong force near the large city of Milan.
1t is here that the first great engagement will
probably take place. Whenever Napoleon thinks
his forces strong enough to march over the river
Pc to Milan. the Sardinians will approach that
city from the East, while Napoleon moves up
from the, South, and Garibaldi attacks from the
North. How soon this action would take place
was uncertain, as it would depend on the arrival
of troops and equipments from France, which
must all be in readiness to move on rapidly and
take advantage of any victory, or assist in any
defeat. As each army will be headed by its EN-
peroA, it will be a holly contested engagement.
The Austrian Emperor had not arrived at Milan
at the latest dates, but was expected in a day or
two.
That the Austrians will eventually be driven
out of Lombardy and Venice, and perhaps with
no very great effort, seems to be the general opin-
ion. Whether the French Emperor will stop
here, and annex Lombardy and Venice to the
Sandman kingdom or make a separatesgovern-
ment of them, is matter of speculation. That
the internal affairs and governments of Italy are
all to be re-moddled before the strife is over,
would appear to be the settled aim of Napoleon
but beyond this, or in what way it is to be done,
the future alone can develope.
