a package. Charges thirty-eight
cents"
Happened TO have just that amount
Paid the Expressman, and then, with n
nervous hand proceeded 10 examine tho
mysterious box. The cover is removed,
when our eyes were gladdcncd with tho
sight of fine, fat turkey. The next
thing brought 10 light was bottle Of
champagne and the next and last, huge
demiohn, marked 40 Tar" What in
the world is o Tarl IL must mean Old
Tar; but what in the world induced any
one TO send us either old or new Tar. We
hayn't got any wagon, and as for getting
up bonfire for the benefit Of the dem
ocrats, we are not in tho bumor. We
have il. We will sell it 10 the Livery
man. Called on him, and he said he did
not use Tar, but grease ON his wagons
Brought it back TO the office, in no very
good humor, still wondering why it was
sent to us. Resolved finally TO draw the
cork, did so. 1t wasn't Tar. Smelt Of
il. Knew by the smell il wasn't Tar
Tasted Of il, and smelt of it again, and
became fully satisfied that it wasn't Tar.
Tasted again, and then entered the reso-
luton among the regular proceedings to
make sure il wasn't Tar. Tasted again,
and felt very happy. Tasted again and
became very rich, and resolved TO give our
cottage to poor widow and purchase
the elegant mansion over the way, TO
donate our Office to the "devil," and buy
out the New York Ledger. Gave the
devil a $50 gold piece for Christmas, and
promised him a round hundred for New
Years. Bought $4,000 pair Of nags
and sleigh cushioned with scarlet vel
vet, and decorated with gold and pearls.
Ordered from the South darkey driver
and postman, whose face shone like
glass bottle under direct sunray. Went
over 10 the "Union" told Fred TO send
every poor family in town barrel of Ju-
lian Mills Flour aud numerous other ar
ticlcs 10 make them comfortable. Bought

the matter by ordering thousand dollar

SLEEP.

Six or seven hours of every day, men
are breathing corses; the face discharges
expressions; the brain gives up thinking;
life has gone; only the animal lies there,
pulsating breathing, snoring-helplcss as
an infant-unnoticed as statue; all
gone, all vacant, empty, useless. Look
ed at without educated associations, there
is no difference in man in bed and a
man in a coffin.
And vet, such is the power Of the heart
10 redeem animal life, and clothe MI rude
and uncommon things with its own leaf
bearing branches, that there is nothing
more exquisite, refined, and pure, and
beautiful than the chamber of the house.
Sleep---it has sprouted up with all the
flowers Of the poets. The couch-from
the day that the bride sanctifies it to the
day that the aged mother is borne from
it--stands clothed with dignity and beau
~. Cursed be the tongue that dare
speak evil Of the household-bed. By its
side oscillates the cradlo-not far from it
is the crib. In this sacred precinct, the
mothers chamber, lies the heart OF the
family. Here the child learns its pray
ers. Hither, night by night.

TWO PICTURES.

"Maggie, dear, put down your work
now and bring in some wood for good
fire. 1t is five o'clock, and father and
Thomas will soon be here, and il is so
cold y
"Oh! yes, mother, in minute; have
just one inch more TO sew"
Can't you milk to night too!"
"To be sure, / can"
"Well, now, that's good girl; you
know Thomas will have to take care of
the horses and feed the stock, and doz-
en- other things"
"Oh! know, aud he will be cold and
hungry and tired"
Yes, for he always says he would
rather work hard on the farm, than 90 TO
town to market"
"Well, now, let's see what can do; /
can make up the fire, and bring in the
wood and chips for night and milk the
COW, and feed the lambs. Oh! / do like

bounded Maggie, 10 the woodhouse on
feet as spry as kitten-for kitty ran
with her, and a fine race they had, Mag
gle beating
Now kitty (said Maggie), what a
good-for-nothing puss YOU are; you can
run and get in my way, but you can't
carry a chip or stick" Just then Maggie
tumbled down few sticks, when out
popped a small rat which kitty secured
in an instant. Maggie clapped her hands
with gleel
"Oh miss puss, you are good for
something; that old rat would have been
eating old Sukey's corn 10 night; now
you shall have some nice new milk, so
you SHALL" And away they ran-Mag-
gle with her wood for the fire, and Kitty
to show her rat to the household,
The fire was soon fine, the COW MIXED,
the pigs fed, the sheep and lambs taken
care OF, the oats measured out, the water

nimble feet to open the gate to let them

"Oh! father, there you are"

WATCH, WATCH, MOTHER.

NBherl watch the little feet,
Climbing over the garden wall,
Bounding through tie busy street,
Ranging cellar, shed and hall.
Never count the moments lost,
Never mind the time il costs,
Little feet viii go astray,
Guide them. mother, while you rnsy.
Mother watch the little hand
Picking berries by the way,
Making houses in the sand,
Tossing up the fragrant hay.
Never dare the question ask,
"wby TO me this weary task!"
These same little hands may provo
Messengers of light and love.
Mother watch the little tongue
Prattling eloquent and wild,
What is said, and what Is sung
BY the happy, joyous child.
Catch the word whilst yet unspokcn,
Stop the vow before 'tis broken;
This same tongue may yet proclaim
blessings in a Sayiour's name.
Mother! watch the little heart
Beating soft and warm for youj
Wholesome lessons now impart;
Keep, o keep that young heart true.
Extricating every weed,
Sowing good and precious sceAi
Harvest rich you then may see,
Ripening for eternity.

gentleman residing on Race street had

pened, continued on his way. Upon ar
riiving at Eighth street, he was astonish-
cd 10 find that his clothing was ON fire,
and the whole side Of his coat was con
sumed. Det. Free Press.

In Coon TAsrE.-Thc Navy Depart
ment will certainly receive credit for the
good taste il has exhibited in naming the
vessels which are now in process of con-
struction at the different navy yards
To each Of them has been given name
preseryative of the old Indian titles of the
land, which are so appropriate to matters
so peculiarly American as our vessels-of-
war. The one building at Portsmouth is
to be called the Mohican; that at Bos-
ton, the NarrdgaaSett; that at Brooklyn,
the Iroquois; the large one at Philadel-
phia, the Wyoming; and the small one,
the PaWnee; that at Norfolk, the Ddco-
tah,. that at Pensacola, the Seminole; !;
and that at Mare Island, California, the
Soginaw. All these are Indian titles,
and each of them the name Of some of
the old Indian tribes. Dct. Free Press.

THE OLD roLrcEMEN's CASE.


MAY 3The mandamuses Issued IN the cases OF nearly
$50 members Of the old police brought I'D again this
morning. The OF Police Commissioner 20 the
various mandamuses set forth that the plaintiffs never
were members OF the force and in another part hey
were dnmissed for disordcriy conduct.
The position taken by M Mckeon, counsel for several
OF the old police, Was that the was nsuen that
was contradictory and that n, the return states the
plaintiffs never belonged 10 the force they could NOT DC
dismissed. BE also submitted that the return was de-
fective as IL was not sworn 10.
Mr. Sherwood for Denis Gallagher and seventeen others
Dterposed plea 10 the return of the Board Police Com
missoners TO the alternate writ Of mandamus.
Judge Bebee, on the part o, several other members
OF the old force moved for percmptory msndamus on
tho ground that the return frivolous and
Messrs. ID. d Field Noyes and Evars appeared for the
Commissioners and considerable argument an inter.
ocutory nature ensued between thcm and the counsel for
the policemen.
The Judge thought the return contradictory and
unsatisfactory, and was Of opinion that ought to be
TO. After some further the matter was
ultimately adjourned 70 Wednesday Of next week.
