the luxury of great cities, looks upon with
a kind of awe, and speaks of it with GER
tain emotion. This defiance of the seasons,
forcing nature to do her work Of congelation
in the face of her sultriest noon, might well
inspire timid mind with fear, lest human
art were revolving against the Higher Pow
ers, and raise the same scruples which re-
sisted at first the use Of ether and chloro-
form in certain contingencies. Whatever
may be the cause, it is well known that the
announcement at any private rural enter
tainment that there is to be ice-cream, pro-
duces an immediate and profound impress
sion. 1t may be remarked, as aiding this
impression, that exaggerated ideas are en-
tertained as to the dangerous effects this
cOngealed food may produce on persons not
in the most robust health.

a STORY WITH A MORAL.

Mr.. Bones, of the firm Of Fossil, Bones
& Co., was one of those remarkable money
making men, whose uninterrupted success
in trade had been the wonder. and afforded
the material for the gossip of the town for
seven long years Being of familiar turn
of mind, he was frequently Intercepted on
the subject. and invariably gave as the Sc
eret of his success that he minded his own
business.
A gentleman met Mr. Bones on the As
sanpin bridge. He was gazing intently on
the dashing, fOaming waters, as they fell
over the dam; and was evidently in brown
study. Our friend ventured to disturb his
cogitations.
Mr.. Bones, tell me how to make thou
sand dollars
Mr.. Bones continued looking intently at
the water; and at last he ventured q re-
ply.
DO you see that dam, my friend?
i certainly do
We'll. here you may learn the secret of
making money. That water would waste
away and be of no practical use to any,
body, but for the dam That dam turns it to
good account, makes it perform some use
full purpose. and then suffers it to pass
along. That large paper mill is kept in
constant motion by this simple economy.
Many mouths are fed in the manufacture
of the article of paper, and intelligence is
scattered broadcast over the land on the
sheets that are daily turned out, and in the
different processes through which it passes
money is made. And it is in the living
Of hundreds of people. They get enough
money, it passes through their hands every
day. and at the years end they are no bet
ter of. What's the reason? They want
4 dam. Their expenditures are increasing;
and no practical good is attained. They
want them damned up, SO that nothing
will pass through their hands without
bringing something back, without accom-
plishing some useful purpose. Dam up
your expenses, and you will soon have Oc-
easion to spare little, just ike tha; dam.
Look at it, my fFiendI-Gazstss.

ONE WAY TO QUIET WAKEFUL
BABIES.

Russell, the correspondent of the London
Tines, in his Indian Diary, imparts the
following piece of information. which will
no doubt be gratefully received by those
whose responsibilities, though small. arc
on that account none the less burden
some:
Our friend the Thakoor also visited US,
and he excused the nOn-appearance of his
little son on the ground that he was asleep
under his waterfall I had almost omitted
to mention the curious habit of the hill
people to which this phrase of the ThakOor' s
related Whenever o woman wishes to put
her child to sleep, she takes it to one of the
numerous places for this purpose, VIII eh
are all over the mountain sides wherever
there is water. They consist of a shed or
sheds in which there are stone troughs fill
ed from running stream; and from these
t-oughs are little pipes made of reed or bOl-
low stems from trees, which spout out wa
ter with asentle triekling fall, under which
the child's head is placed at the distance
of few inches. The effect is almost i'm
mediate. The child closes its eyes and
its mouth, and falls into profound, sweet
and healthful sleep, which endures 50 long
o it is left under the water spouts. 1 have
seen dozens of children thus lying fast
asleep; and, as far as l could ascertain, no
evil effect whatever can be attributed to the
practice. 1t certainly seems an admirable
against colds in the head; and
if devoted mother would only make the
experiment in this country. and it we're
found successful, she would be blessing
20 her species in introducing such delight
'ul custom, pleasant to children and inval-
lable to parents.

"REMINISCENCES OF THE OLDEN
TIME-JUDICIAL IMPEACHMENT.
WARREN. March 2ath. 1860.

WARREN, March 29th, 1860.
Aessrs HapgOOd + AdamS;-I have no
ticed that some of the journals of the day
and yours among them, have mentioned
that some of the private papers of the lat,
Governor Huntington have been given t.
a HistOrial Society at Cleveland; among
which is found statement that the of6ct
of President Judge of the Common Plea:
Court was offered by him to several law
yers of the Reserve and those residing in
other parts of the State, upon the resigna-
ton by Judge Pease Of that Office, which
offer was not accepted.
will add little to that statement, and
give few of the reasons why the profered
honor was rejected. That the subject may
be more clearly understood. it is necessary
that l enter little into details, and give
short history of some legislative and ju-
dicial proceedings in this State from the
year eighteen hundred and eight. to eigh-
teen hundred and ten, inclusive.
Judge Pease and his associates of the
Common Pleas, took on themselves in the
County Of Trumbull. to decide that a GER
tain act of the legislature was in violation
of the constitution, and therefore not law.
He, with his associates in jefferson Coun.
ty, made a like decision. The case in JEFF
ferson county was taken to the Supreme
Court by writ of error. The court, CON-
posed of Judges Samuel Huntington and
George Tod, affirmed the judgement of
Judge Pease, and his associates. This law
being favorite one with the people, its
repeal by a judicial decision created great
excitement The prevalent doctrine of
that day, was, that the court could decide
no act Of the legislature to be uncons titu-
tiOnaL The majority of the people eonsid-
cred that it was an impeachable offence, so
70 decide AT the session OF the legislature,
begun in December, one thousand eight
hundred and eight, articles of impeachment
were exhibited against judges Tod and
Pease. Huntington having been, in octo-
Der, preceding elec5cd governor, and hav-
ing resigned his sealt as judge; and Judge
Pease's associates being thought to be of
too little consequence to be noticed. Judges
Tod and Pease were tried before the High !
Court Of Impeachment, composed of the
Senate, and were both acquitted; there not
Icing a constitutional majority of two
thirds for conviction, it having fallen short |
by one vote in each case, although there
was shifting of sides in one instance, one
member voting for the conviction of Tod,

AN APRIL SONG.
L1BBIE S. cRowELL.

"April showers-bring May flowers"
And we watched the bright drops fall,
With an earnest ardent longing,
And deep impassioned call
Forthe fiowers-the worshipped flowers,
Which those pearly drops would bring;
Fragrant buds and blossoms woven
Mid the tresses of the spring.
And when from the sun-kissed heavens,
Every cloud had passed away,
How we peered among the MOSES
Where the sweet flower spirits lay
Watching, waiting, for the sunlight,
And the lover winds to wake
Those fair sleepers, whose deep slumbers,
No less gentle power could break.
Fewer spring-times then had gathered
With their sunshine, and their shade,
Fewer fow'rs had flushed with beauty,
And then wearily deeayed-
Fewer times we'd seen the glory
Of the summer months depart,
And had felt the mystic shadows
OF the autumn round our heart.
Yet the crimson life-tide surges
Just IS gladly in these hours,
While we ponder on that couplet-
april showers, bring May flowers"
But We read deeper meaning
In those simply spoken words,
Than our hearts found, when in childhood
They have foated Ger its chords.
And the dewdrops of affection,
Are the April show'rs which fall,
Mingled with loves sunny beamings
On the spirits genial soil
Sinking through its yielding surface,
Bursting germs which slumber there
Till bright buds of hope spring upward
To the soft inviting air.
Buds whose shining leaves unfolding
Catch glory from the skies,
And the inner world Is flooded
With radiance which our eyes
May not see-sO dim and misty
Earthly shadows come between,
But We breathe their holy incense
And their influence is seen,
Shedding grace and beauty ever
Round the outward life of those
Who receive the blessed shower
Which from pure affection flows.
Then, oh scatter from Loves fountain
Diamond dews each coming day.
And awake in joyless spirits,
Buds to blossom with the May.

orally true, the very men. who voted ar
ticles of impeachment against him, were
anxious to re-elect him. Leading members
of the legislature said, if he would promise
to never again decide the constitutional
question, they would re-appOint him He
was too honest and independent to make
any such engagement He gave them to
understand that if elected he would do
what he thought to be right; he would 60
on to the bench untrammeled by any pied
ges. The storm passed over, the people
came to their senses, and Judges Pease and
Tod, in about FIVE or six years, were both
reelected judges; one to the Supreme court
and the other to the Common Pleas, with
out any pledges whatever. The question
whether the courts have power to decide
upon the eonstitutionality of the laws has
never since that day been raised. It has
been conceded that they had that power,
and it has been conceded that the sweeping
resolution was gross violation of the Con-
stitution. In this statement may have
misstated some of the facts; there may have
been some additional ground for the i'm
peachment, that l do not recollect. My
statement is made enterely from memory,
for l have not seen more than once, if ever,
any kind of record Of those proceedings;
and it is now half a century since those oc-
currences took place. All who were at
Painesville at that time, attending court,
judges, lawyers, clerk, sheriff, jurors and
bystanders, so far as 1 know, except DR..
John H. Mathews, are dead.

How TO MAKE MAPLE SUGAR WHITE

How TO MAKE MAPLE Sugar wHIrE
WITHOUT RErISISa.-A Montpelier Vt.
correspondent Of the Boston Traveller writes
The art of making good maple sugar is
now fast advancing, and the time is near at
hand. when they viii vic in purity and
whiteness with the NEST beautiful samples
Of the cane sugars. The dark maple sugars
have not been found to refine 50 well, with
out great loss, as the cane sugars But our
sugars makers are beginning to find out
methods of producing pure white sugars
without going through any subsequent "a
fning process. They have discovered that
the sap. at it comes from the tree, is perfect
ly cOlorless, and that if it can be eau ght
and evaporated without bringing it in con-
tact with vessels imparting stains for tubs
or boilers, it viii make eOlOrless and por-
fectly pure sugars. To obviate the old diff
6culties of making white sugar, therefore,
they are now adopting new tin. instead Of
the usual wooden tubs or boilers. And to
cause the least burning, and of course col
Oring in the boiling, they use shallow pans
set in brick arches, so that the fire can on
" come in contact with the bottom of the
boilers. The substitution of cnaneled iron
pans, may perhaps be all that is now re-
luired to perfect the process.

THE POWER OF LOVE.

Have you never seen gay. giddy erea-
ture, more like the butterfly for beauty and
nimble nOthingness than anything else,
eourting admiration. inpatient of control,
inpatient of industry, selfindulgent, and
seldom willing to be self-saerifcing? Have
you never heard charitable friend inter
preting the sure dismal end of such an one?
Have you never seen fathers and mothers
anxious as to what shall become Of their
darling child? But God sends an angel to
commune with heri-a babe. And now by
the sanctuary of the cradle, the whole world
IS dead to her. All pleasures spring up
around about that spot All toll for her
child IS cOurted as privilege. There is
no such thing as self-sacrifce, simply be-
cause there IS not enough to be done; or
rather, there is no self-saerifce except that
of letting others d. what she herself wish
es to do for the child Her love makes her
benevolent Here was child that could
not be controlled or taught to live for 9TH
ers but the moment the great power of

an object which absorbed her affection, her
whole life was changed. And 50 God re-
deems, by the Gospel of marriage, thou
sands Of times, those whom the outer Cos
pei does not seem to touch-for both are
the same, and one is the type and pTehgur-
alton of the other. The sense of inward
richness gives very different light to all
outward happiness. When one has been
touched within by the love Of God she'd
abroad in the soul. outward things no lon

FAIRS FOR THE SALE OF STOCK.

Farmers in various parts of the State
are becoming convinced of the utility Of
Fairs for the sale of stock. In Madison
county, Fair of the kind is already an In
stitution. Lorain and Trumbull counties
have each made arrangements for such a
Fair the present season. The Fair at
Warren is to be held on the 26th of April;
the Fair at Elyria- on the 29th of the
present month, (March). OF the benefit
of such gatherings, there can scarcely be a
doubt The following are. some of their
advantages
l. More Sales l0iU be E61;scted-A far
mer has something to sell, which some one
else wishes to buy, but without Fair it
will only be by accident that they find each
other. But let every one who wishes to be
seller, and all who wish to purchase,
meet face to face, and both classes may be
accommodated. The seller will not be CON-
PEELED to sell to disadvantage, because he
knows of but single man who will buy.
nor will the buyer be compelled to give
more than the worth of an article, under
the impression that there are no others in
market.
2. A Fair .Saves TrGreL-The seller
need not set out on a wild goOse-chase to
find purchaser, neither need the buyer
travel hither and thither to find what he
wants. A convenient time and central
place being agreed on and publicly announ-
ced, comparatively short journey will
bring buyer and seller together, and much
fruitless journeying about be avoided.
8. Time is Sared u, Bargaining.-At
Fairs, men do not sit on the fence and
whittle for half day. There is no time
to lose; if one customer will not buy, the
seller must look out for another; OF if =
buyer cannot obtain this animal at price
which suits him, he must try that before
some one else has purchased it All this
favOrs dispatch in the mode of doing bus
iness, Why may not farmer learn to
make a bargain as promptly as merchant
in a store?
4. A Fair gires Opportunity for Sc |
LectiOn.-The man who wishes to purchase
a brood mare, or working horse, or a COW,
probably has in his mind an idea of the an
imal he wants, but in his neighbOrhood or
within the range of his acquaintance, he
knows of no such animal At a Fair,
there will probably be many animals be-
longing to the same class. and some among
them may be precisely what he wishes; at
any rate, the Fair gives him better chance
.han he would otherwise have.
5. d Fair Secures greater Uniformity
IF Price.-HOnest men do not always know
he market value of the article they have
% sell. Some would expect too much, 9TH
rs would be satisfied with less than the !,
cal worth. Justice and fair dealing will
