The PnWer of Music.

On Saturday, says the Chicago Jouanal a
man in the last stages of intoXication was
brought into the police court, examined and
fined, for being drunk and disordery. The
poor fellow had onl an old German flute,
and when asked if he would leave it as a
pledge ior his fine, he replied, that it was an
old and excellent instrument, and under no
circumstances would be part with it.
Forgefal of the dignity of the Court, he
raised it to his lips, and blew a few sweet
notes, at once attracting and fixing the at
tention of the Court and spectators. He
perceived his advantage and played plain
tive air, which imbued the mind of thr Court
with pity. He changed it to patriotic
measure, and the Star Spangled Banner"
and yankee Doodle" excited the Court to
a fraternal feeling. Now or never was his
time. "Dxie" rolled out in rapid cadencies
Every one was taken by storm. The police
danced to its measures; the spectators wag-
ged their heads; and the Court, like Aexanl
der smiled its delight. The fine was stricken
from the docket, and the poor fellow left with
the flute under his arm wiser and better
man.

WHY BE UNHAPPY.

What's the use to be unhappy,
What's the use to fume and fret?
What's the use to look behind you,
Nursing up the vain regret?
What if life is clouded ever
With its sorrors dark and wild?
What if fortune does look stcrny?
Hath she never sometimes smiled?
Why, if you must taste the bitter,
Will you fling the sweet away?
Fighting ever with the crosses
That you meet from day to day.
Why disquiet those around you
With complaint you should suppress
Weary those whom duty bids you
Still to comfort and to bless?
Look at yonder little insect,
Sporting in the suns bright beams;
Listen now, and hear the music
OF your laughing little streams.
Look ut nature all around you.
And above, where'er you stray!
Mute creations ever singing!
Happy |! it seems to say.
What IS the use to be unhappy?
What's the use to fume and fret?
Pluck up courage, laugh at trf1es,
And you may be happy yet.
WAR PoErRY.-An Eastern War poelizel

War bringeth sorrow TO the land
To some it bringeth riches;

OBEYING ORDERs.-"Put down that
picklep' The words are uttered harshly
and hurriedly by the sergeant to an un-
gracious private, who, carried away by his
hungry passions" had snatched pickle
from the barrel. San why should put
down the pickle?' queries the private
mildly. "Put down the pickle-thats all
I want of you" returned the sergeant,
determinately. "Down it goes, then"
cried the soldier and stuffing it into bis
mouth, i. quietly disappeared.

Ey- George Rapheal, of New York,

EW George Raphea, of New York, re-
commends the use of the camera obscura at
Washington for making observations as to
the position of the enemy. He says that by
elevating the camera seventy five feet, OBJ
jects no larger than dog can be seen at
fifteen miles distant. The process, Mr..
Rapheal says, is much easier, cheaper, and
more certain than the balloon.

PoLYGAMY is said to be unfavorable to
increased population. Among the Mormons,
for example there are fewer births, in pro-
portion than among an equal class of monog-
amists; the mortality of children is greater
than elsewhere. though the climate is very
healthy; and, as though nature submitted
herself to the artificial demand, there are
great many more girls born in Utah than
boys. Brigham Young, who has nearly
thirty wives, is said to have only thirty chill
dren living, and many of his wives are sterile.

Smith, now existing on the fac of the earth :.

The Sun GOING OUT-There are now
more spots on the sun than have been seen
for many years; some of these are visible
through a smoked glass to the naked eye.
Several stars-some of them of great brill
liancy, which from their ascertaned distance,
must have been as large as our sun have
totally disappeared from the sky; and the
mers whether the light and heat of the sun
are gradually fading away. AS this would
be accompanied by the destruction of all
the plants and animals of the earth, it is
rather an interesting question. The suns
light and heat are diminished by the dark
spots, at the present time above one per
cent.

NUMBER 6.


Poisoning by phosphorous is becoming
common from the facility of procuring fric,
ton matches. 1t is Therefore, important that
the antidote which has of late been found
the most etcacious should be extensively
known.
Messrs. Antoniell's and Barsoreli have
shown 10y numerous experiments on animals
lst. That fatty matters should not be en-
poyed in poisoning by phosphorous, as
these matters, far from preventing its action
on the viscera, on the contrary increase its
energy, and facilitate its diffusion through
the economy.
ID. That calcined magnesa, suspended
in boiled water, and administer largely, is
the best antilote, and, at the same time,
the most approximate purgative to facilitate
the elimination Of the toxic agent.
81! Thai the acetate of potash is extreme
" useful when there is dysuria in poisoning
with phosp phorous.
4th. That the muciaguous drinks which
are given to the patient should always be
prepared with boiled water, so that these
beverages may contain as lite air as posi-

Republican paper of Massachusetts, the
New Bedford Mercury, is out for peace. 1t
says:
We have made mistake in our estimate
of the strength OF the rebels; have we made
another in the confidence we have placed in
our own2 Is it true that the South carries
with her the sources OF certain failure, or
shall we not rather be compelled to yield to
her demands, not as matter merely OF pol.
icy and self interest but of sheer necessity!
Is not the struggle assuming new features,
and instead of being contest for the pre-
servation of the Constitution, is it not grow
inc into war of suhjugaton, in which the
course frs, marked ont by the government
will be abandoned hv the necessity of
events!
Is there any longer a reasonable hope
that, after the bitter strife of States and
the sheding of fraterna blood, the Union
can ever be restored to its former position?
