After amour cing his text, the latter went ahead. and soon began to speak rapturously of the other world, and, among other things, said;

TIE DIGNITY OF LABOR. There are some persons in this world whose ideas of dignity are of the very lowest description. They despise, or at least affect to despise, manual labor, and they talk in somewhat scornfu manner of the operative mechan- ic, as if he were an inferior being, in comparison with the merchant and the lawyer. In the very highest sense, the operative mechanic, when an intelligent and honest man, stands as high in the scale of dignity as the weallhIest mer- chant, lawyer, banker or professional man to be found anywhere. There was a time when the mechanic was without an advocate in the paths of literature but those days are gone past forever, and the most eloquent writers of the age have given utterance to some of the finest sen timenls ever published on this subject. - The following from Ruskin, the most poetic writer on art that ever lived, are as truthful as they are beautifully expressed. In his StoaeS Of Venice, he says: We are always, in these days, endeavorlng to separate intellect from manual labor; we want one man to be always thinking, and another to be always working; and we call one a gentleman and the other an operative whereas, the workman ought often to be thinking, and the thinker often to be working, and both should be gentle men nfshe best sense. As it is, we make both ungenlle, the one envylng the other, despsing his brother, and the mass of so- ciety is made up of morbid thinkers and miserable workers Now t IS only by la Dor that thought can be made healthy and only by thought that labor can be made happy, and the two cannot be sepa' rated with impunity. It would be well Il all of us were handicraftmen of some kind, and the dishonor of manual iabo done away with altogether. "- Archilec S Mechanics Journal

RELIEF or NEURALGIA. --- As this dreadful disease, says an exchange, IS be- coming more prevalent than formerly, and as doctors have found no method or medicine that will permanently cure it., we simply state that for some time past q member Of our family has suffered most intensely from it, and could find no sure relief from any remedy applied, until we saw an article that recommended the application of horse-radisb to the face for ,oothache. As neuralgia and the tootti- ache are both nervous diseases, we thought the remedy for the one would be likely to give relief to the other; so we made the application of horse-radish. bruised and applied to the side of the body where tue disease was seated. It gave almost in stant reliefto the severe attack ot neural- gia. Since then, we have applied t seser- aI times, and with the same gratifying result. The remedy is simple, cheap, and may be wAhin the reach of every one. - Exchange. aaes.sa

Ancient Ruins in the United States,

Dim and mysterious is the early history of man on this continent. It Is enyeioped in thick darkness, never. It may be pre- sumel, to be penetrated by human re- search; and yet the ruins oi ancient cities are frequently discovered that tell
 of race that has long sipce passed awav-probaby exterminated by the an ceslors of the present Indian, who are also fast departing from the human family fairly dying out before the evsr.advanclng influence of the pale face. Bat these monumental cities indicate great pnpua- tions, and prove the existence ol mighty men of old. A new stimulus IS likely to be given to American archaeology, by a discovery recently made some ninety miles northeast of Fort Stanton, q long account of which has just appeared m the Fort Smith (Ark, Times, We condense. The plain upon which lie the massive relics of gorgeous temples and magnifi- cent halls slopes gradually eastward the river Pecos. and isvery fertile, crossed by gurgIing stream of the purest water that not only sustains rich vegetation, but perhaps furnished with this necessary element the thousands who once inhabited this present wilderness. The city was probably built by n war like race, as t is quadrangular and arranged with skill to afford the highest protection against an exterior foe, many of the buildings on the outer liee being pierced with lcophoies, as though calculated for the use of weapons Several of the buildings are of vast size, and built of massive blocks of a dark granite rock, which could only have been wrought to their present condition by vast amount of labor. There are the ruins of three noble edifices, each pre- senting a front of three hundred feet, made of ponderous blocks of stone, and the dlapidated walls are even now thirty five feet high There are no partitions in the area of the middle Supposed temple, so that the room must have been vast and there are also carvings in bas relief and fresco work. Appearances justify ihe conclusion that these ruins could once boast of halls as gorgeously decorated by the artists hand as those of Thebes and Palmyra. The buildings are all loop hoIed in each side, much resembling that found in the old feudal castles of Europe designed for the use of archers. The blocks of which these edifices are com- posed are cenented together by species of mortar of bi,uminous character, which has such tenacity that vast masses of wall have fallen down without the blocks being detached by the shock. We hope, ere long, to be favored with full and descriptive particulars, as it is prob able that visits and examinations will be made among such intereslingsrelics of the unknown past by some of the United States officers attached to the nearest fort.

ACKNOWLEDGED THE CoaN.--A neigh bor missed corn from his garner. and his suspicion rested upon reckless fellow whom everybody called Sam The corn was kept in chamber over the kl'ch- en, adjoining the woodhouse, toward which the chamber was left open and accessible by ladder. The victim of this midnight "lheHery," as another neigh bor calls it, determined to satisfy himself concerning the identity of the thief, made a temporary bed upon the kitchen floor and lay down to watch. About the hour when church-yards yawn," he was aroused from partial slumber by the rat ting of the ears of corn overhead, when he suddenly called out al the top of hls voice:
