Newspapers in Sfdek Times.

When newspapers were first established, they
were quite destitute of advertisements and
nothing was more common than for papers to
be issued with blank page. The first news
paper printed in America had only three pages
of reading matter as there was not foreign or
domestic news enough to fill out all the columns!
In England, after while, rew method was
adopted to fill up the space not required for
the currant news by publishing selections from
the sacred scriptures, and many an old news
paper is now extent with whole page copied
ftom the Bible Chapters from the New Tes-
lament were placed at The head of a column,
and the space below was filled out with psalm
of the required length. In the period which
this, to us novel, proceeding was resorted to, to
Ell OFT the newspaper, the Bible was not so
common or so cheap as at present, and doubt
less much good resulted from the practice
What would some of the subscribers 20 cur

to appear with seven or eight columns selected
from the scriptures? Doubtless in some quar-
tcrs, even in our day, extracts from the Bible
would he ''new indeed

WHAT is DENocRAcY.-These are tough
times for the loyal Democrat who wants to
"stics to the party" and Sustain the admins
tration." He looks to Washington and sees
on the tariff there is a fight between the Pfasi-
dent and the Secretary of the Treasury. On
the Squatter Sovereignty question there is
fight between the President and Secretary of
State: On the PgcifFc Railroad question there
is a fight between the Psesident and the Sec
retary of War. On the river and harbor
question there is fight between all the Secre-
taries, and on the Lecompton question there is
a fight between the President and the party
Instead of a platform, he can only find broken
planks; instead of policy, only chaos. On
whichever side of any question he OPENS his
mouth, he is sure to be opposing the admins
tration, or some one of them. The appalling
problem is presented to hin-how can he
"stick to the party" when the party @oh't
stick to each other, and how can he "sustain an
administration" that won't sustain itself?-

FLowHRs g.

How the universal heart of man blesses flow
ers! They are wreathed around the cradle,
the marriage altar, and the tomb The Per-
sian in the far East delights in their perfume
and writes bis love m posegays; while the lndi-
an child of the far west clasps his hands with
giee as he gathers the abundant blossoms
illuminated Scriptures of the prairies. The
Curid of the ancient Hindoos tipped his arrows
with flowers; and orange buds are the bridal
crown with us, nation of yesterday. Flowers
garlanded the Grecian altar; and they hang in
votive wreaths before the Christian shrine
All these are appropriate uses Flowers
should deck the brow of the youthful bride,
for they arc in themselves lovely type of mar
riage. They should twine round the tomb, for
their perpetually renewed beauty is a symbol Of
Che resurrection. They should festoon the altar,
for their beauty ascends in perpetual worship
before the Most High.

An zEoouzNr uxrRAcr.

Generation after generation have felt as we
do now, and their lives were as active as our
own. The heavens shall be bright around our
grives as they around our paths Yet
little while all this will have happened. The
throbbing heart be stilled, and we shall be at
rest Our funeraI viii wend its way, and pray
ers will be said, and we shall be left in dark
ness and the silence of the tomb. And it may
be but for a short time we shall be spoken OF,
but the things of life shall creep on and our
names win be forgotten. Days will continue to
move on, and laughter and song will be heard
in the room where we died; and the eye that
mourned for us will be dried and animated with
JOY. and even our children viii cease to think
of us, and will remember to lisp our names nc
more.

The Co1ored Sentry.

ne So1OI@o sentry
Theodore Parker, in his lecture on Washing
ton, last week, reported the following anecdote,
related to him BY an old soldier, who vouched
for it's truth:
At Cambridge, Gen. Washington, had heard
that the eolored soldiers were not to be depen-
ded upon for sentries. So one night when the
password was Cambridge" he went outside
the camp, put on an overcoat, and then ap-
preached a colored sentinel.
who goss thete?'' cried the sentinel
= A friend, replied Washington.
Friend, advance unarmed and give the
countersign," said the colored sentinel
Washington came up and said ''Roxbury."
t&o, sar!' was the response.
ssMedford, - said Washington.
mo, sari'' returned the colored soldier.
''Charlestown, - said Washington. The col
ored man Immediately exclaimed
81 tell you, Massa Washington, no man go
by here out he say 'Carnbridge'"
Washington said, Cambridge, - and went by,
and the next day the colored gentlemen was
relieved of all further necessity for attending
to that particular branch of military duty.

a Juror Correcting a StttAge

A Judge m Cincinnati, last week. had just
charged jury in a very important ease. when,
to the great astorlishmcnt of all present, pro-
fcssonal juror, who happened to be on, arose
from his seat and begged to call the attention
of his honor to a slight mistake he had made in
his charge, and actually quoted authorities to
sustain his opinion. Upon referring to his cita-
tions, it was found, to the no small amusement
of the SPECTATORS, that the jury1rSan right
and his honor was wrong; whereupon. with all
due gravity, he informed the beach that he
knew he was correct, as he had been charged at
least forty times on the same point in the last
four months, and couFfn't be mistaken.

Musk in a Michigan Tavern.

0FtA a IA11Ch1Ga1 Tavern
A short time since a lady and gentleman were
travelling in Michigan, and having missed the
stage, were compelled to take private convey
ance from the town of Scuderi to Thomastown
The lady had with her beautiful little lap-dog,
which she carried on her lap on an embroidered
mat. During the ride the husband discovered
that he had no handkerchief, when the lady
lent him hers which was fashionably scented
with musk About half way between the two
towns the carriage broke down, M the midst of
a hard RAIN, and they were obliged to take re-
fttge in the halfway house-a lone horse log
tavern, consisting of two rooms-a bar-room and
lodgingroom. The lady laid her lap-dog on
its mat before the fire, and herself and husband
took seats In a short time the gentleman had
occasion to use his handkerchief, and took it
out, leaving it lying ON his knee when he got
through with it. In few moments the land
lord opened the door, put his head in, looked
around, went out, came in, gazed at the dog
his nostrils all the while upturned in intense
disgust. He finally appeared satisfied, went to
the outside door, opened it, came back with a
bound, seized the lap-dog by the tail, and hurl-
ed him howling through the open door full ten
rods into the forest. The wife tainted; the hus-
band rose to his feet, terribly enraged, and
wanted to know what he did that for. That's S
my dog continued he, furiously. Don't
xhose dog it is' said the man gruffly
II amt going to have no such blasted smelling
varmint around my tavern" The husband and
wife evacuated the house instantly, and pro-
ceeded on their way in the rain.
