OsE OF THE BoYs.--Neighbor T. had a
social party at his house few evenings
since, and the @dear boy" Charley, a five
year old colt, was favored with permission
to be seen in the parlor. "Pa" Is somewhat
proud ofhis boy, aud Charley was, ofcourse,
elaborately gotten up for SO great an occa-
sion. Among other extras, the little fellows
hair was treated to liberal supply of eau de
cologne, to his huge qualification. As he
entered the parlor, and made his bow to the
ladies' and gentlemen
"Lookes here" said he proudly, "if any Of
you smel!s smell, that's me"
The effect was dscid cd, and Charley, hav-
ing thus in one brief sentence delivered IN
illustrative essay on human vanity, was the
hero Of the evening.

CHARITY TO THE FALLEN.

bf IhhNQulLLAs fNH-n
Oh fair, but unforgiving thou
Whose red lips curls in pride. n
If but on erring sister brush
The silken garb aside,
Shrink not from that profaning touch
Frown not thy naughty brow
IN Gods great eye that scorned one
a May be as pure as thou.
Thou canst not know, thou canst not tell,
The struggle and the strife.
The fierce temptation that beset
Her fair unspotted life,
And gave to that hearts purity
Its first dark tint of sin;
Nor, how its angel turned to weep.
As came its tempter in.
Judge notl-that soul condemned by thee
May shine in heaven afar,
Redeemed from its strayed orbit here
A fixed and glorious star;
A sinless mothers prayers, perchance,
Bresthed Ger her long ago,
May have won above, from God Of love,
The mercy thou canst not show.

the New York Tribune denying the report
that he is about leaving that paper to con-

to be able, after the next Presidential contest,
to effect partial withdrawal from the active

ScANpALous WASTE OF THE PUBLIC Mo-
NEY.-In order that some idea may be had of
the cost of the Patent Office fancy pictures,
we will cite few of the cases connected
with the report Of 1856. In the House edl-
tion a horse cost $lO,576.5O; a strawberry
$lO,576.6O; sheep $lO,576.54; a map
S3,SO7.54. For the Senate edition the same
pictures cost $6,079l5.
In the face Of these humiliating disclo.
sures, which were the subject Of general
ridlcule, in and out of Congress, the person
in charge of preparing the Agricultural re.
port for publication, used all the arguments
10 his power to have second edition of a
horse, a ten plant, and map, inserted in col
ors, in the report just published, which, at
the price stated by Mr.. Sinclair for their
execution, in his voluntary card, published in
the Union few days since, Qncuding paper
and inserting plates,) would have cost S32,.

lost their seats by reason of insolvency, or

A PROFITABLE BoARpER.-The ST. Paul
(Minnesota) Slinnesotian says there is lady
now residing in ainnetonkn, who for the past
two years has lived entirely without eating.
Her age is twen,y-eighi; she is the mother
of three children, and enjoys moderate health.
She has the use Of all her faculties, is not
emaciated, but apparently robust, and yet she
does not take into her stomach particle Of
food of any description, save cup of coffee,
which she drinks throe Zines day; this, her
only subsistence, she sips slowly, usually
occupying the accustomed time with others
at the table,
This story of a lady living without eating
is rather tough. If the account had said she
lived without swallowing, we might have
taken the story down.

but could give no relief to the children, the
roof was already falling in, and the house in
a light blaze all round. The children were
burnt to ashes In sight Of their mother. Her
