spoils of the Neapolitan Arsenals with
which to equip the levies who will join
them We may certainly look for some
stirring events on the mainland. Italy
is in such state that boldness is the
best and, indeed, the only possible
policy. The Royal party at Naples
is panic stricken, and the discomfort 0
the people, reused into fury by the
news from Sicily, may anticipate any
movements of Garibaldi. It may be
that as we write, King Francis may
have been driven from his dominions
which his family have cursed. 1t may
even be that the Neapolitan troops,
ashamed of their disgrace and of the
cause they serve, will follow the ex-
ample of the Tuscan and Modenese
armies, and bring the tyranny of the
Bourbons to an end. But, even if
these events do not take place, we feel
pretty sure that Garabaldi will follow
up his victory. His presence in Ca
labria now would be the signal for an
instruction as fierce as that which
has broken ont in Sicily. With 5000
men such as stormed Palermo he might
march from the Straits to Naples in q
month.

Purity Of Character.

Over the beauty of the plum and
the apricot there grows bloom and
beauty more exquisite than the fruit
itself--a soft delicate flush that over
spreads its blushing cheek. Now, If
you strike your hand over that, and it
is once gone, it is gone forever for it
never grows but once. The flower
that hangs in the morning, imperaled
with deW--arrayed as no queenly wo-
man ever was arrayed with jewels,
once shake it so that the beads roll off
and you may sprinkle water over it as
you please, yet it can never be made
again what it was. On frosty morn
ing you may see the panes Of glass
covered with landscapes--mountains,
lakes and trees blend in a beautiful,
fantastic picture. Now lay your hand
upon the glass, and by a scratch of
your finger, or the warmth of your
palm, all the delicate tracery will be
obliterated. SO there is in youth a
beauty and purity of character, which
when once touched and defled, can
never be restored--a fringe more deli
cate than frostwork, and which when
tern and broken, will never be re-em-
broidered. He who has spotted and
soiled his garments in youth. though
he may seek to make them white again,
can never wholly do it. even we're he
to wash them with his tears When
a young man leaves his fathers house,
with the blessing Of q mothers tears
still wet upon his brow, if he once
lose that early purity Of character, it
is loss that he can never make whole
again.

One being broken open, thin, plastic
covering made of -four, peeled off and
revealed the light snowy bread, baked
in layers which detached from each
other like separate pancakes. Both
eff these sorts of bread were slightly
aweetened.
AT half past nine O'Clock, All Ching
invited his guests to visit the Chinese
theater. The last performance of the
season was then given by the compa
ny. who are going on tonr through
the interior. Private boxes were pro-
yidad from which the stage and audi
ence could be distinctly seen. The
dress circle was occupied entirely by
women and the pit by The men. It
would be impossible to convey any
thing like an accurate idea of the
performances, but several Of the actors
exhibited wonderful agility in their
combat scenes. AT ten o'clock the
company separated, highly pleased
with their host and his entertainment.

Leaving his Card.

One day when Mrs Darlington was
out-not in the usual acceptation of
the term, but when she was on a visit
to some neighbors--the minister called
upon her, and upon her return, Mrs.
Darlington found a delicate piece of
past board on the table.
What is this, said the dame hold
ing it up and looking at it from vari-
Gus angles, and holding her head back
as though she was sighting it by nose
and chin.
"It is card, I guess" replied Ike,
taking hold of it and reading it, Eyes
it is one of the minister's cards"
Oh, you wicked boy" said she,
holding up her finger, how can you
assassinate such q thing against so
good man as that he plays cards,
though when I came to Boston every
body said should find pla-cards at
the very street corners

LEWIS and Sam D, q couple of
residents Of this county, who loved rum
and hated snakes, soma years since
went down to the salt marsh to NOV
They hung their scytheg, ard were
about commencing work, when Lewis
proposed TO Sam that they should
take drink of the quart provided for
the occasion. Sam agreed, of course,
and, as it was hot day, aud a hard
task was before them, they concluded
to rest awhile under the shade Of a
tree and then take another drink in
order to get good ready on.
The bottle had passed two or three
times, when Sam said to Lewis, "let's
drink the darned stuff up, and we
won't be hankering after it."
It was a bargain, and betBixt the
two the balance was soon disposed of.
A pause ensued Lewis rose to his
feet, threw his scythe over his shout
der declaring,
"I'll be darned if l NOW without
rum" darned if l will, either" says
Sam, and with that they shouldered
their duds and trudged for home with
