MANS ACCOUNT WITH WoMAN.--Look
here; you must allow that woman ought,
as much as in her lies, to make this world
a paradise, seeing that she lostus the origi-

when all is said about what wesowe to
woman, you must allow that we have
swinging balance against her. There's that
little matter of the apple still to be settled

STARTLING DISCOVERY. RY.-During the sit
ting Of court in Connecticut, not long
ago, on cold evening, n crowd of law
yers had collected around the open fire
that blazed cheerfully on the hearth of
the bar'rOom Of the principal tavern of
the countyseat, when traveller entered,
benumbed with cold. No one moved to
give him room to warm his shins, so he
leaned back against the wall in the back
part Of the room.
Presently smart young limb Of the
law addressed him, and the following dia-
lOgue took place:
"You look like travCler?"
"Waal / suppose l am came oil the
way from Wisconsin afoot, Mt any rate"
"'From Wisconsin! What distance
tOeoms on one pair of legs!"
Wal, done it, anyhow"
"Did you ever pass through hell in any
Of your travelsH"
"Yes. sir, I've been through the out
sAirta."
:" thought It probable. Well, what
are the manners and customs there? We
w0uld like to know"
"Oh, you1l find them much the same
as in this place-the lawyers sit nearest
the FIRE"

The Came OF Life.

4AU N1L4O OH AhAes
BY ELIZA COOK.
With eager hand Hope denly weaycS
The mantles that our pride would don,
while busy nnger'd Care unreaveS
The 0aTmentS IS We put them on.
We rear cur palaces OF Joy
And tread them with exultant shout,
Till. eFumbling round, tits plainly found
Some cOrneF-stones have been LEFT out.
Aud thus VIC play the Game Of Life,
Shadow and substance ever blending;
mid AoweFs OF Peace and tAres Of Strife,
Gaily besinning-sadly ending.
The maiden greetS her swain to-day,
They jar tomorrow, and she Aouts him;
Now she believes whate'eF he'll say
A month has gone-alas she doubts HIM
The lover hangs upon glance,
With glowing trust and earnest sueing;
Next year he rOuses from his trance,
And scorns the one he late was wooing.
And thus we play the Game of Life,
Our dreams diSpclPd, our plans defeated,
And when we've lost with pain and cost,
StiA StAnd, a. ready to be cheated.
The costing infants rOey mouth
Aptly receives the sweeten'd potion;
When waves are calm, aud winds are south,
None zee the death rocks in the ocean.
The rich man tolls to gather up,"
Meaning to bask in Fortunes clover,
And while he Pours into his cup,
Perceives not It Is running over.
And thus We play tho Game Of Life,
Now simply shared, now wisely brnoding,
Now bribed By smiles, now spreading wiles,
Living deluded and dcluding.
The PSet prattleS to the stars,
Philosophers dissect the thunder,
But both are stopped by crystal bars,
And stAnd outside To watch and wonder.
We uOralize on battle plains,
Where blood has poured, and fame was won,
We turn and zee the baby's glee
Over HE mimic sword and gun.
. And thus we play the Game Of life,
TwiGt Asly Thought and fearful Deed,
Some only stay TO work and pray,
And some but live for Crime and Greed.
Our feet Of clay trip up each other,
. OR wings Of sther seek the sky;
We bTeathe-we are-child follows mother,
Yet none eau tell US - How" or - Why:"
Our hearts, like clocks, keep ticking fact,
We climb and laugh, We fall and weep,
TIL tired Of guessing, at the last,
We solve the riddle in sleep.
AHd thus ~s play the Game of Life,
In mOtly garbS Of Grief and Pleasure,
Till We are drest in the green vest
For which the sexton takes our measure.

Assembly having been abolished, permanent
union of the State and Central Societies is
confidently looked for. Mr. John II. Edmuuds
has been UNANIMOUSLY reelected President of
the State Society, notwiths landing the ith-
draWai OF his name, by letter, on the first night
of the meeting. The members were totally
opposed TO dispensing with the services Of q
good officer. and hence his reelection. Mr..
Wyndham Robertson, the chairman, in his
closing remarks to the meeting on Thursday
night, made some very happy aIlusions 10 the
success OF the present Eair. He said that il
the Farmers Assembly had proved failure,
the assembly of farmers had not, and The peace,
order aud decorum that had prevailed during
the week, spoke volumes In praise OF the char
acter OF those composing the gathering. The
ladies of Virginia were also complimented.
Hereafter, the farmers Will hold their mass
NEE iDgs Us in former times, and much benefit
Will dou bileSs result from their discussions.
