A short Memory.

A good deacon returning from church
one Sunday afternoon, was accosted by
man.
"Sir, did you see boy driving a cart
with bag of cotton in it?'
81 think did said the deacon mu-
singly. "a boy with short memory
wasn't he?"
The man looked confused and said:-
"Why do you think he has short mem
ory, sir?"
81 think so; think so moreover, that
he must belong to a family with short
memories"
"What in the world makes you say
that?" said he more perplexed than ever,
"Why simply this" said the old gen
tleman, assuming of sudden a very
grave and solemn manner, "because God
Almighty has proclaimed from Mount
Sinai among other things, "Remembel
the Sabbath day to keep it holy" and hi
has forgotten all about it. His memory
was very short indeed-very.

PItII,.

There's Joy in the valley,
And JOY on the hills,
A gushing Of torrents,
And laughter Of rills,
An echo Of gladness
From many a dell,
For Springs happy spirit
Hath broken the spell.
There's joy in the forest,
A MUSICAL din,
For frolicking breezes
Are stealing within;
And birds on their pinions
Their roundelays sing,
While beauty seems dwelling
In every thing.
The dew drops that nestle
In each flowret's cup,
The glad sunshine sceth,
And drinketh them up!
The buds are as gently
Unfolding their leaves,
As the fall Of those blessings
Each spirit receives.
The clouds that are floating
SO lightly and free,
Appear to our vision
Like ships on the sea,
Aud glitters each rain. drop,
Like some sea-washed gem
On howret expanding,
On bud and on stem.
We hail thee, sweet April.
Best month Of the year,
Thy coming brings gladness,
The lonely to cheer;
In holiday vestments
The earth is now seen,
And rich is her carpet
OF beautiful green.

While the boys were out at recess
recently, at one of the village schools IN
South Adams, a gentleman riding by
stopped and inquired of brisht,looklng
lad, "What they did in there" The
urchin looked up, scanning his interroga-
tors face a moment, and then with
wicked leer and knowing wink, replied;
"They tan hides, sir" That boy had
probably received his share OF smart In
the aforesaid shool house.

SoUYD OF BALLs-An Albany Zouaves
who was in the Bethel affair, says:
The enemy soon found out where we
were, and began to throw their fire into the
wood, but, fortunately for us, they aimed
little too high. Every instant we could
hear the balls whizzing through the air and
crashing among the trees. We could tell
each kind Of ball or bullet by the sound it
made in passing through the air. There
was one riAed cannon the balls from which
rushed along with shrill angry shrek, as
it might be called, like the sound of a
steam whistle; the big balls and shells went
humming along, and there was also the his,
of grape shot and rife and musket balls.

A son OF the "Emerald Island" but not |
himself eyesn. was taken up (for he was at
the time down) near rebel encampmeut,
not far from Manassas Junction In q
word. Pat was taking a quiet nap in the
shade, aud was reused from his slumber 10y
a scouting party. He wore no special uni
form Of either army but looked more like
SPY than au alligator, and on this w0s at,
rested "Who are You what is your name!
and where are your from 7" were the nrs'
questions put to him by the armed party,
Pat rubbed his eyes, scratched his heau
and answered, by my faith, gn'Iemen'
them is ugly questions tV answer anyhow,
and before | answer any o'them, ia pe
after axin you by your lave the same queS'
tions
eWell p said the leader, 1--WE are Of
Seott,s army, and belong to Washington"
"All right" said Pat, II know'd ye was
gintleman, for / am that same. Long life

AHA" replied the scout. "now you ras-
cal you are our prisoner" and seized him
by the shoulder. "How is that Z" inquired
Pat, 'are we not friends 2" "No" was the
answer we belong to General Beauregardss IS
army Then Fe told me q lie, me boys,
and thinking it might be so, told you
another now tell me the truth, and plhtel
the truth too
"Well-we belong to the State Of Soutt
Carolina" $50 do l." promptly respond
ed Pat--"and to all the other states of th
country, too and there / am thinking
bate the whole of ye. Do ye think
would come all the way from Ireland to be
long to one State when had a right t
belong to the whole of 'em 2 This logi
was rather a stumper, but they took him a
as before said, and carried him in for furth
er examination.
10 is pretty evident from this specimen
that Pat needed no prompting in close
examination, and bearing no evidence ;ha
he was a spy, they let him of, and TIT
more readily, as while he assured them be
was no "politicianer," he persisted in think
ing that any man was great fool to belong
to only one State when he has right (a'
he had) of belonging to HirtyfOwr States
"besides the territories"
Now in this simple incident we learn why
so large majority of our adopted citizen
stick to the national flag and the nationa

scrofnla. or Kings Evil,

"a n constitutional disease, corruption Of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vihated,
,voak. and moor Being in the circulation II
nervades the whole body, and may burst out
In disease on any part Of It, No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which II may
not destroy. The scrofulous tnint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis-
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air NTH
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above nli. by the yenereal infection. What
ever be its origin il is hereditary in the con-
stituton, descending from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seems TO be the rod of Him who says, 81
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children"
It's effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, winch, IN
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous cohsttu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have fur less power TO With
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quenty vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most Of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous ;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in-
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in
