you must first catch him. Having doue
so, the mode of cooking him, SO as to make

their children were bladders and blow
them up others keep them constantly in
hot water, while others freeze them by
conjugal coldness some smother them in
hatred, contention and variance, and some
keep them in pickle all their lives. These
women always serve them up with tongue
sauce. Now it cannot be supposed that
husbands will be tender and good il man

contrary, very delicious when managed as

All bloodless lay the untrodden snow
When Freedom. from her mountain height
Exclaimed, "Now don't be foolish Joe =
An hour passed on-the Turk awokc.
A bumhle-bee went laundering by,
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
Aud spread its pail upon the sky.
His cchoing axe the settler swung,
He was a lad OF high renown,
And deep the pearly caves among,
Giles Scroggles courted Molly Brown.
Loud roars the wind in constant blast,
And cIoudless sets the sun at even,
When twilight dews are falling fast,
And rolls the thunder drum OF heaven.

Beneath yon ivy-mantled tower,

The resolutions, which were all adopt
ed, were as follows:

should be appropriately occupied.
urges frequent visits of teachers to schol-
ars at their houses
8 recognizes the Holy Spirit in the schools,
states that the teachers should set Il good
example.
10 urges that the early conversion Of chill
dren should come nearer the Bible standard.
This resolution was widely discussed by Rev.
Thomas p. Hunt, Of Philadelphia, Mr.. Taylor,
of Portland, and Mr.. Thompson, of New Jer-
sey.
ii recommends weekly prayer meetings.
y recommends weekly lesson reviews.
Is recommends frequent Teachers Meetings,
Conventions and associations, and local book
repositories.
II recommends the preparation of lessons
before scholars come to school
Is recommends the committal to memory Of
the Scripture lessons.

NEVER MIND.
By DAVID BARKER.
Should misfortune dog your track,
Never mind
Make no rainbow of the back.
Never mind,
Turn not to the left or right
Quail not at a menaced blow,
Onward. upward in your might,
Shout this motto AZ you go:
"Never mind"
Foes may frighten friends away,
Never mind.
Fear not what traducers say,
Never mind.
Single-handed fight it through;
Trust not in the countless throng,
One legion may subdue
With that legion in the wrong:
Never mind
Should you meet with pointless sIurs,
Never mind.
Every fool by instinct errs,
Never mind
Let spawns scribblc if they will
Men Of nerve are never slain
BY ones firing through quill
Paper bullets Of the brain :"
Never mind
Each shall get just what he earns,
Never mind.
Roads are long which have no turns.
Never mind.
Yielding mp the other check,
Dropping humbly on the knees,
Closing lips when dared to speak
Win not do in times like these:
Never mind.

WHAT HAS RUINED THE KING OF PRUssrA p
Champagne has been the ruin of the King of
Prussia. When he first ascended the throne
ne was an elegant, accomplished gentleman,
His amiability, his high moral character and
his requirements were known throughout Eu-
rope, and in Prussia be was as popular as a
monarch could be. In I848, he commenced
drinking champagne, and is now an diot-Er.
The King of Prussia is not the only man
whom wine has hurled into idiocity The
world is full of such folly, and will be SO long
as money aud interest subora reason in law
making and in legal and social practices,
