BEAUTIFUL ExTRAcT--The following
waif, aAoat on tho ''sea reading" we cliT
from an exchange;
"Men seldom think Of the great event oI
death until the shadows fall across their owl
path, hiding forever from their eyes the
traces of loved ones whose living smile was
the sunlight of their existence. Death is
the great antagonist Of life, and tho cold
thought of the tomb is the skeleton of all
feasts. We do not want to go through the
dark valley, although its passage may lead
to paradise; and with, Charles Lamb, we
do not want to lie down in the muddy grave
even with kings and princes for our bed fel-
lows. But the fat of nature is inexorable.
There is no appeal or relief from the great
law which dooms us to dust. We flourish
and we fade as the leaves Of the forest, aud
the flower that blooms and withers in a day
has not a Trailer hold upon life than the
mightiest monarch that ever shook the
earth with his footsteps. Generations Of
men appear and vanish as the grass, aad
tho countless multitude that throng the
world to day, will tomorrow disappear as
the footsteps on the Shore"

CAUSES OF MENTAL DIsKAsE.--Dr. Ed.
wand Jarvis, in his valuable papcr on this
subject 10 the last North American, SAYS:
In the reports Of eighteen American hos
pitals for the insane, which state the eau
ses Of the disorder Of their patients as Ear
as they were supposed to be known, one
hundred and seventy-four kinds Of events,
habits, or misuses Of the mind in the mani.
fold varieties Of mental action, application,
and excitement with the stimulating and
the depressing emotions, hope, fear, grief,
disappointment, and trouble, and with the
malignant passions, are given as the cause
Of their malady. Among twelve thous-
and eight hundred and thirty-eight pa
tients, the causes of whose insanity are sta
ted, 22.7 per cent, were connected with
grief, disappointment and other depressing
emotions, 80 with excitements, anxieties,
and depressions from religion, 60 with
property, poverty, and business, and their
attendant anxieties, excitements and losses,
and 5.5 per cent. from excess Of mental ac-
ton.

QUEER CoMpANIoNs.--A gentleman in
this city has very large grey squirrel the
wheel of whose cage having beon broken,
and the family being tired of seeing it in
the room, the cage was placed in an un-
used basement of the house, and his squir-
reship provided with food 10 abundance
On visiting the cage a short time ago large
rat was found quietly domiciled with the
squirrel, the falling of the wheel having
permitted free ingress and egress to the
rat. From sharing the squirrels food, the
rat had grown so fat he did not care tc
move. The two rodents seemed to be mu,
tually pleased with each others company
and they were not molested. Hartoro

"Never desert a friend when enemies
gather around him-when sickness falls on
the heart--when the world is dark and
cherries is the time to try true friend.
They who turn from the scene of distress,
betray their hypocrisy, and prove that inter
est moves them. If you have friend who
loves you and studies your interest and hap
piness, be sure and sustain him in adversely.
Let him feel that his former kindness is ap-
preciated, and that his love is not thrown
away. Real fidelity may be rare, but it ex-
lists in the heart. Who has not seen and
felt its power' They deny its worth who
never loved friend or labored to mako a
friend happy"

this moment the interest Of the scene was
most intense. The volunteers were arranp-
ed all around the building, cutting off ap
escape in every direction. The marines d.
vided in two squads, were ready for dash
at the door.
"Finally, Lieut. Stuart having exhaused
all argument, with the determined Capt.
Brown, walked slowly from the door.
Immediately the signal for attack was
given, and the marines headed by Col. Har-
ris and Lieut.. Green, advanced in two lines
on each side Of the door, Two powerful
fellows sprang between the lines, and with
heavy sledge hammers attempted to batter
down the door.
The door swung and swayed, but appear
ed to be secured with rope, the spring of
which deadened the effect of the blows
Failing in this they took hold Of ladder
some 40 feet long, and advancing at run,
brought it with tremendous effect against
the door. At the second blow it gave way,
one leaf failing inward in slanting position.
The marines Immediately advanced TO the
breach, Major Russell and Lieut.. Green
leading. A marine iu front fell
"The firing from the interior was rapid
and sharp. They fred with deliberate aim,
and for moment the resistance was serious
and desperate enough to excite the specta-
tors to something like pitch Of frenzy
The next moment the marines poured in,
the firing ceased, and the work was done,
while cheers rang from every side.
"When the insurgents were brought out,
some dead and others wounded, they were
greeted with execrations, and only the pre-
cautions that had been taken saved them
from immediate execution. The crowd,
nearly every man of which carried gun,
swayed with tumultuous excitement, and
cries of "Shoot them! Shoot them~ rang
from every side. The appearance of the
liberated prisoners, all of whom, through the
steadiness of the marines, escaped injury,
changed the current of feeling, and prolong-
ed cheers took place Of howls and execra-
tons"
OF Capt. Brown, when the armory was
taken it is said:
"He never blanched during the assault,
though he admitted in the night that escape
was impossible, and that he would have to
die.
"When tho door was broken down, one
Of his men exclaimed i surrender The
Captain Immediately cried out, There, one
surrenders; give him quarter and at the
same moment fired his own rife at the door"

The USE OF QUAns.-Wm. Norton, an
intelligent, observing boy, who makes his
homo in the southern part of Illinois, has
recently been studying the habits of the
quail, or incorrectly partridge" and gives
the following testimony to the Cincinnati
artisan:
ale observed a small flock commencing
at one side of the field, taking about five
rows, following them regularly through the
field scratching and picking about every hill
till they came to the other side of the field
then taking another five rows, oD their re-
turn, and thus continuing, till he thought
they were certainly pulling up the corn
He shot one, and then proceeded to exam
inc the corn ground On all the ground
that they had been over, he found but one
stalk of corn disturbed; that was scratched
nearly out of the ground, but the kernel
was still attached TO the stalk. In the crop
of the quail he found but one cut-worm,
twenty-one striped vine bugs one hundred
chintz bugs that still retained their dnivid,
uality, a mass apparently consisting ol
hundreds of chintz bugs-but not one ker-
mel of corn"

A Mormon is living paradox. He says
grace before cotillion, swears in his ser
mons, selects his texts differently from the
Bible the books of Mormon, an Almanac, or
the Presidents Message, and is perpetually
quarrelling for the sake of peace. His re-
ligiou is a joke, and he makes the best sto-
ry teller chief of the quorum. He as
sumes dignities, but has not the slightest
respect for them; and the effect of his pie
ty is to put him on level with the great
est reprobate of the time. In short he is
the Latter Day Saint; or, 10 ether words,
the last one you would think of calling
saint.

People are already beoinnino (og ,bov 40

People are already beginning las they do
every fall, to predict hard winter. The
prognostics of unusual cold are found in the
immense numbers of squirrels with which
parts of the country are overrun. In Mis-
souri, they are described as covering the
trees and river 'like PAIL" but why like a
pail it is difficult to say. They devasiate
the country in their course, girdling trees
and destroying fields. Thousands are killed
by the people, and innumerable numbers
drowned in crossing streams. In Maryland
they are almost equally abundant. These
squirrels are usually gray.

The Flight of Time.

ave take no note Of time
But from its loss; to give it then tongue
It is wise in man."
30, swiftly each passing moment glides
away" How soon are llfe's golden dreams
and bright visions of earthly bliss forever
flown! Time, ever rolling time, writes the
fadeless impress of decay everywhere, and
upon everything we behold in this beauti-
full world of ours. There is nothing of
earthly beauty or of earthly grandeur that
can bid defiance to the storms of time; or
nothing too sacred or too holy to oludc the
destruction of its fatal blast.
"Isaw him grasp the oak,
1t FELL the tower, it crumbled and the stone,
The sculptured monument that marked the grave
offallcn greatness, ceased its pompous strain,
As time came by"
Flowers, that fill the ambient air with
sweet odors and ambrosial incense, bloom
fade-die Our earth at one season of the
year, is clad in her beautiful dress of living
green, and the bright rays of vernal sun
enrich expand and beautify every scene in Gre
alton. The soft warm air is filed with mu-
sic, sunshine, and perfume, and all nature
shines out in unriyaled beauty and splendor
But how soon does the witherng breath of
few revolving months rob the fields Of
their blooming verdure and lovcliness the
forests and trees of their magnificent foliage
and drapery and cause the green clad earth
to "lay her glory by" till the time shall
again come for the reproduction of flowers,
plants and herbs upon the face of nature
Change and decay arc unfadingly impressed
upon things earthly. The eye fingers not
upon an object, however beautiful and love
ly now, but that the breath Of time shall
one day mar or efface.
Time does more. 1t invades a holier
sanctuary, and introduces man to higher
destiny, and happier cline beyond the
grave. Beautiful, but to every earnest
thoughtful heart, true as beautiful are the
words following:
"Roses bloom, and then they wither;
Cheeks are bright, and then they die;
Shades Of light are waited hither,
Then like visions hurry by,
Quick clouds at even driven
Der the many colored west,
Tears bearing us TO heaven
Home of happiness and rest"

QO&trn.
From the Pittsburg Christian Advocate.
THE RIVER OF DEATH.

THE RIVER OF DEATH.
There's many holy and rapturous strain
Floating over the river Of Death,
To the weary who wait like the ripened grain,
For the touch Of the resper's breath.
There are flashes of light each lifted wave,
As II glides from the farther shore,
To the shadowy border our tear-drops lave,
In the lull Of the waters roar.
There harp-strings siir'd by the perfum'd air,
And gushing with melody sweet.
Like the whispered notes of a child at prayer,
In the hush OF the twilight deep.
They hear the low music 40 solemn and grand
And heed not the eddying tide,
Forthey catch CLEAN ofthe forms that stand
By the stream on the other side.
And we sec light on the calm, white brow,
Like the glow of the crimsoned morn;
But we see not the lips on the lids Of snow,
All the night that We deem so longl
And we only know when VIC hear no more,
Aswe watch for the passing breath,
That an angel is tenderly lifting them down
The banks of the River OF Death
Only know that their footsteps pressing the sands
That washed by the hurry ing waves
And that the bows outstretchcd their hands
To the shore that their brightness layes;
And over their bosoms fresh garlands we lay,
And lily we twine in their hair
Fit emblems of beauty, new-blighted they say,
These garlands and lily-buds are.
call It not bghted-I deem them not dead
Who pass away IN their bloom;
For they their beauty where are shed
Der the darknes and blight Of the tomb.
And oft, as sit at the easement alone,
list ifperchanee may hear,
Thro' the stately pines, as they sway and moan,
Like child at the shrouded bier,
The hutter of Sails and the rushing ofwaveT,
And the flash Of a gilded oar,
As the Reaper starts from his emerald caves
To carry down to the shore;
And wait for the swoop ofan angel-wing
And the clasp Of an sngel-hand,
For the sound Of harp, and the chant of hymn,
And the light Of the glory-land
But alasl listen and wait in vain,
Yet know that my weary feet
Shall wander ere long from the valley of pain,
To the river so solemn and sweet.
l shall go with the Reaper changeless and pale,
And each that my heart has known
Each agonized cry and each desolate wall,
Each fearful ant piteous moan,
Shall be washed away, by the murmurous waves,
From my spirit so joyous and tree,
WhenI see the smile OF the lovely who wait
On the beautiful shore for me.

To KEEP APPLEs.-If apples are careful
II packed in hard wood saw-dust, they will
keep through our coolest winters. This we
have tried and know it for certainty. But
in packing, care must be taken that none of
the apples touch the barrel, nor each other.
We have had them open in fine order, when
thus packed, long after those in the cellar
were rotten, or so withered as to be useless.
