We think that the only smart
thing about Mr.. Douglass essay in

whether he knows the fact or not, is

A woman in Middlesex. England,
named Newton, recently bit off the
nose of Thomas Saverland. who at
tempted to kiss her. But now he
can kiss her as much as he pleases,
saying to her as the pig said to the
boy that had ent his tail of, "you
can't do that again.
The New York Tribune says that
/" Mr.. Dickens is not coming to this
country after all" We have no
doubt, that. if he ever comes, he will
come "after all" he can get.
Gideon tpmbled the walls Of Jer-
icho down by blowing rams horns,
and we wonder what the Democratic
organ at Washington proposes to tum-
BILE down by blowing ofd BUCK norm.
The WashingtoniC Constitution says
that "the policy of our Government
towards Mexico is not war" 1t
seems to be eternally piece.
They are advertising "Osciliating
Engines" for the printing Of newspa-
pers. We should think that good
many of the Democratic papers must

Peter G. Washington. who was as

Guthrie will be the next President.
Peter, it seems, is still true to his
master. but there is no telling what
Peter will do before CO ck-crowing.

A SERMON ON DUELLING,

At the First Congregational Church,
in San Francisco, the Rev. j. G. Hol-
brook yesterday delivered an interest
ing and stirring discourse, suggested
by the sad event of the last week.
His text was as follows: Surely the
wrath of man shall praise thee: the
remainder of wrath thou shalt re-
strain" The object of the discourse
was to show that God SO disposes
events, that all of them, whatever
their intrinsic character, shall tend to
work out his righteous will and mag.
nifty His glory. After illustrating his
proposition by numerous appeals to
facts in both ancient and modern his
tory, he concluded his discourse as
follows:
The devil and wicked men may
seem to be in ascendant. Evil may
be rampant in the land ruflian vio-
lence may invade Senate chambers ;
bullies and cut-throats may stalk
abroad. Unprincipled men may be in
positions of power and influence and
murderers even may wear robes OF
State or be clothed in the ermne of
the judiciary. But an overruling

OUR INDIAN SUMMER.

There is a time, just when the frost
Prepares To pave old Winters way,
When Autumn in rcvcric lost,
The mellow daytime dreams away;
When Summer comes, in musing mind,
To gaze once more on hill and dell
To mark how many sheaves they bind,
And See ii all are ripencd well.
With halmy breath she whispers low,
The dying flowers look up and give
Their sweetest incense ere they 90,
For her who made their beauties live.
She enters meath the woodlands shade,
Her zcphyrs lift the lingering leaf,
And bear it gently where are laid
The loved and lost ones of its grief
At last old Autumn, rising, takes
Again his sceptre and his throne,
With boisterous hand the tree he shakes,
Intent on gathering all his own
Sweet Summer signing, flies the plain,
And waiting Winter, gaunt and grim,
Sees miser Autumn hoard his grain,
And smiles to think it's all of him.

She looks a sea cybcle, fresh from ocean,
! Rising with her tiara Of proud towers"
Along the coast of northeastern
Italy, where the waves of the Adriat
ic gayly met the waters of the Brenta
the Adigo, and the Po, a long sand
bank tells of their union, forming a
bulwark against the fierce storms
which often sweep over the turbulent
sea. 1t is called the Lido, and is
pierced by six canals, through which
vessels enter the port of Venice
These passways are strongly fortified
and distractions placed within them
can readily hinder the entrance Of all
enemy's ship.
Fifteen hundred years ago, between
the Lido and the mainland, there were
eighty small islands, formed by the
debris brought down from the Alps
by these rivers. Here, the terror
stricken Ncneti, driven from their
homes by the inroads Of the Huns, led
on by the fearful Attla, sought a
refuge. Like the sea-bird driven from
the land, they hid among the sedges
and rushcs Of these islets, scarcely
above the surface of the water.
1t was the boast of old Rome that
its people imbibed atrength and vigor
from the VOLTS milk, which nourished
its first founders. Hence we may
truly say the Venetians derived their
energy and iudomitable industry from
the uuccasing necessity of action, of
toll and struggle. A kind Providence
seemed to have given them a genius
and adaptiveness to their condition
unprecedented in the annals of the
world. Resolved to build a great city
they drove piles into the deep marsh
for it could not be called ground
Within these circles they threw stones
and great rocks, brought from the
main land by infinite labor, and upon
these they built great houses after a
firm foundation was obtained. The
space between the islands they cleared
away, suffering the, waves OF the
Adriatic to flow freely through them,
forming streets like canals. Thus the
gondola becomes as necessary to Ven

as much part and portion Of its glo-
ry as are its splendid palaces, glitter,
ing domes and lofty towers.
In few centuries the Venetians
had triumphed over all the surround,
ings of hard fortune, and had become
the great commercial power of the
world. All the sunny isles Of the
Archipelago were theirs-the trade OF
India was theirs. The ships Of Ven.
ice were on all the seas, and its mer-
chants were styled Princes" To
be a Venetian was to be free, indie
pendent and rich f; it was their boast
all the world over, as it is the boast
Of our free people, that we are Ameri-
cans.
From the period Of the city's first
creation by the fugitives from the des-
olating power Of Attila, the Hun, un-
til its downfall before the victorious
army of Napoleon Bonaparte, there
were nearly fifteen hundred years

Rainy Days.

Into each life some rain must fall y
Sunshine is very beautiful, and young
hearts revel in it, but it is never so
lovely as when it wraps the earth in Il
robe Of light, after period of storms.
1t is not natural for youth, with its
bright hopes and ardent energies, to
rejoice in the day which is curtaned
by leaden sky, and fringed by the
dripping rain.
Yet we would plead for the rainy
day. 1t brings with it quiet home
pleasures, which should endear it to
those whose chosen resting place is
10y the tireside. 1t gives space for
thought and reflection, for looking in,
ward upon our own hearts, which can.
not be enjoyed when the flashing light,
the sapphire sky, and all the golden
glory Of sunny day. are dissipating
thoughts, and wooing us to enter the
great world without. 1t brings the
members of the family closer together,
and unites them by stronger tie.
The little daughter of fashionable
mother once said to me, on a dull and
lowering day | do hope it will rain
fast this afternoon" "Why?" BE
cause, if it rains, mother will stay at
home with us, and | can get her to
dress my doll" Music never sounds
more sweetly than when, between
each dying chord. the low patter of
the rain upon the roof comes in for an
accompaniment.
What is more musical than the rain
itself! How it dashes over your head,
and drifts you along to dream-land,
when at night its countless perform
ers take up the song of the stars
How it taps at your window panes
with its crystalline fingers, and wakens
you to earnest effort in the morning
How sweet the ripple Of melody
which it stirs in the brook, when the
drops from above meet and shake
hands with the drops that arc sleep
ing below How soft the lullaby with
which it falls into the upturned chalices
of the thirsty flowers.
A rainy day is very favorable for
the reading Of old letters. There is
a charm in a bundle of faded letters,
paper and ink alike yellow with age,
that the most enchanting book and
the brightest picture fail to impart.
You remember when the "lttle four
leaved folio" was put into your hands,
like an angel missive, each word throb-
bing with affection. Perhaps the
hands that traced your name, with
those little fond love words attached
to it, has turned to dust in the grave.
Perhaps the blight Of misunderstood.
ing or harshness has fallen between
you. and the page you are reading
comes back to you like the echo of for.
gotten love Perhaps the tiny mis-.
sive is the first link in a chain that
has bound your heart with some kin
dred heart, and which cannot be bro.
