STILL RISING. We have had occasion
from time to time to speak of the rapid
ty with which john + CusHMAN, Esq.
native Montgomrian. who removed
some years ago from this town to Oxford,
Mississippi, was rising to distinction. It
has not been long since we had the plea
sure of announcing his elevation to a
Circuit Judgeship in his adopted State !;
and now we find him promoted to an
important and highly responsible position
under the General Government-thato of
Minister Plenipotentiary to the Argen-
tine Confederation.
Surely every Montgomrian has reason
to be proud of a brother who, surmount-
ing early difficulties, has already attained
to such eminent preferment, and whose
course will no doubt be still onward and
upward. In the career of Mr.. G. we
have striking demonstration of what
may be accomplished by indomitable en-
ergy and unfagging perseverance,.

vention terminated on Saturday night,
but religious exercises were continued up
to Friday night last, Elders ANDERSON,
of Baltimore city, and ADAMsoN, of
Washington county, alternately preach
ing to large and very attentive audiences.
Their services were very acceptable to
the members of the church here, and
we're well received by all who attended
upon them. During the progress of the
meeting, ore lady was baptized and re-
ceivcd into the church. The Rockville
congregation was set in order by the Sc

holding protracted meeting here at no

A Day of Heaven Upon Earth.

o Sabbath needed for world of inno-

it but rises in Christianity, and henceforth
records the rising day. And never since
the tomb of Jesus was burst open by Him
who revived and rose, has this day awak-

some Hnsbands DO So.

How ? The habits with husbands, with
regard to the treatment of their wives, are
so various that the question can only be an
swered by individual specimens of each
mode:
Some husbands never leave home in the
morning without kissing their wives and
bidding them t'good bye, DEAR in the tone
of unwearied love; and whether it be poll
cy or fact, it has all the effects of fact, and
those homes are generally pleasant ones,
provided always that the wives are appreci-
alive, nd welcome the discipline in kind
ly spirit. We know an old gentleman who
lived with his wife over fifty years, and
never left his home without the kiss, and
the ''good bye. dear"
Some husbands shake hands with their
wives. and hurry off as fast as possible, as
though the effort were something that they
were anxious to forget, holding their heads
down, and darting round the first corner.
Some husbands say only, "Well, am
going" and start at the word "go," which
comes to them from some back retreat.
Some husbands, before leaving home, ask
very tenderly, sWhat would you like for
dinner. my dear 90 knowing all the while
that she will select something for his pal
Some husbands will leave home without
saying anything at all, but thinking good
deal, as is evinced by their turning round,
an adieu at the pleasant face, or faces, at
the window.
Some husbands never say a word
rising from the breakfast table with the
lofty Indifference of lord, and going out
with heartless disregard of those left be-
hind Il is a fortunate thing for their wives
that they can find sympathy elsewhere.
Some husbands never leave home with
out some uukind word or look, apparently
thinking that such course will keep things
straight in their absence.
Then, on returning
Some husbands come home jolly and
happy, unsecured by the world /; some sulkv
and surly with its disappointment. &
Some husbands bring home newspaper
or book, and bury themselves for the even
ing in its contents.
Some husbands are called away every
evening by business or social engagements;
some doze in speechless stupidity on the
sofa till bed time
Some husbands are curious to learn of
their wives what has transpired through Che
day others are attracted by nothing short
OF child's tumbling down stairs, or the
house taking FIRE.
Depend upon it, says DR.. Spooner, that
home is the happiest where kindness and in
terest and politeness and attention ara the

all the responsibility rests with them-and

A late issue of Hunts Merchants Mag
azine, in an article on buckwheat as food,
says that, considering its good qualities,
cit is probably less appreciated than any
other grain. Writers on agricultural pro-
ducts seem to eschew it as food for man,
and regard it only as misehievous adulte-
ration of wheat -four, or as product of
poor soil for cattle. 1t is of totally diff
ferent family of plants from the cereals, and
will flourish on sand hill sides which are
barren for other grain. tits probably the
most easily cultivated, and the cheapest
bread grain in the world. It is extensively
cultivated in Belgium, and some parts Of
France, where it forms the basis of food for
the inhabitants. Though its properties are
very different from wheat, it is nevertheless
quite as rich in all important compounds,
and in extremely cold weather, it is more
substantial than wheat. It is, however,
less digestible, and apt to disagree with
weak stomach, or persons unaccustomed to
it. By analysis, buckwheat is second to
wheat in gluten, but deficient in starch.
By the addition of fourth quantity OF
oat or Indian meal to buckwheat -four, the
-four is very much improved"

''Come Madge, speak out; it all rests

LONELINESS OF HEART-How YEARLY the

on when chained to continual routine OF
mechanical duties, and the souls half ar
ticulated cry for sympathy, without an an
swer! Faith often cures their longings,
but is SO hard to give soul to heaven, that
has not first been trained in the fullest and
sweetest human affections. Too often they
fling away their hearts on an unworthy OBJ
ject; too often they pine in secret discon-
tent, which spreads its leaden cloud over
the morning of their youth. The immeas-
urable distance between one of these deli
cate natures, and the average youth among
whom is like to be her only choice, makes
ones heart ache. How many women are
born too finely organized in sense and soul
for the highway they must walk with teet
unshod Life is adjusted to the wants Of
the stronger sex! There are plenty OF. tor

stepping are measured by the stride of man
and not of woman.-1'Ae Professor.

Experience with New Set of Teeth.
We have been very much amused in listen
ing toan acquaintance of ours when describ-
ing his experience with new set of teeth.
He remarked:
I have had all my teeth pulled out, for to
tell the truth, think they have been curse
to me always rather than blessing. Now
in their place have had false ones put in,
and I must tell you my experience with my
new masticaters. I felt, when the set was
first put in, as though I had couple of
wheel-barrows full of paving stones lying
around loose in my mouth, and it seemed
as if they were going to be spilled out at
every motion. The frat day waited till
every one had done their dinner, not daring
to make an exhibition of my teeth and run
the risk of their dropping ON the table,
Well, | chewed little and stopped, chewed
again and stopped, and finally went to my
room and laid the darned things on the back
part of an upper shelf, thinking they were
no go. The next day I tried them again,
but with little better success, and after this
I-would carry the things in my pocket, oc-
casionally trying them on, and every time
experiencing some new emotion. One day
they would feel as much like great horse
shoe, with nails in, as anything else; and
again could be certain that had great
circular wheel slowed under my lips. Some
ofmy experience was very comical. They
served me so many times, and was rather
getting tired of my bargain; but by perse-
verance have become used to their ways,
and now they cannot get away from me, as l
know just how to manage them, and how
to bite on them. and bless from the bottom
of my heart the inventor of false teeth.
