A PRAcTICAL JoKE.-My father told story
few days since that is too good to be lost
When he was young man, in Buffalo, about
thirty years ago. there were a number of his
acquaintance, who made it special boast
that they could not easily have joke played
on them and when any such thing was played
on them, it was rule that there must be no
backing down. One Sunday, two of them took
ride out toward Black Rock, several miles
from the city, and on their way :came to a
school-house, full of prople, waiting for their
minister. The two proposed 10 go in and hear
q country sermon. They went in, and waited
a considerable time, but no minister came. At
length one of the deacons arose, and said that
they had confidently expected minister, but
it was quite evident now, that he would not
come One of the young gents Immediately
after arose, and said that his friend with him
was in the habit occasionally of making ex-
hortations, and that if they were unable to ab-
tain any one else TO address them, he supposed
bis friend would
This was fix. But there was no backing
down, and as his frierd was young man of
intelligence, be went in" aud made a very
good address. Probably he was somewhat
inspired by an idea that popped into bis head
at the moment his friend had placed him in
that embarrassing position, namely, when he
got through to call his friend to pray. He
did so, and there was no backing down. in this
case either The young gent who offered pray
er wanted his friend to hush up, on their re-
turn to the city but the joke was too good to
be kept secret.

TIRED OF THE BusINEss.-Holmes, in the
last number Of the Mariposa Gazette, says:
We advertise in this number this paper for
sale, and for sale low. We have conducted it,
owned it, and have had all to do with it for
nearly seven years. Blurs are on our eyes,
and public warts grow where warts are super
fuous and uncomfortable. Any dirty, half
bred, lousy pup has a right, as he thinks, to
bark at and to question an editors course, and
if he don't like it, bite, or try to. Men that
can't tell the boundaries Of the State they
came from, who can't treat the English Ian.

The POLES AND THEIR PR1soy.-Eighteen
miles from Warsaw stands the largest fortress
in the world, fortress with cascmated and
bombproof barracks for 10000 men, and with
a circumference of eleven miles. Whether
this fact is generally known or not, it is certain
that very few Englishmen-very few persons
Of any country but Russia-haye been allowed
the opportunity of inspecting this wondrous
stronghold Nor believe, Is our Government
in possession of any plan or sketch of the i'm
mense works, and, as evidence of the Jealousy
with it is hidden from the eyes of strangers.
may mention that special permission from the
Gar is requisite to enable any foreigner tc
enter it. The fortress is called Modlin, or the

The VILLAGE OF HAMPToN.-The Richmond
Examiner bewails the destruction of the vii
age Of Hampton, and makes known the fol-
lowing interesting particulars
"This is the second time in its history that
it has been fired by the enemy. In the war Of
the first Revolution, the English squadron, an
noyed by the gallant exploits of two young
officers, Samuel and James Daron, attacked
Hampton and put the nest of it in flames
not, however, without encountering a most
gallant resistance by the Hamptoninns, sup
ported by the celebrated Culpepper Minute
Men; the united force under command of COL
Woolford who subsequently fell in one of the
battles of tie Revolution.
" No spot in Virginia is invested with more
thrilling romance and historic interest than
Hampton and its immediate vicinity. 1t was
visited in 1907 by Capt. John Smith, then an
Indian town called Hecaughton. Here Smith
and bis party were regaed with corn cakes,
and exchanged for them trinkets and beads
The locality was settled from jamestown in
16l0, and was incorporated century after
wards as the town of '' Ye Shire of Elizabeth
City," The Episcopal Church, an ancient
pile made Of imported brick, is the oldest
building in the village, and probably, from it;
isolated location, may have escaped the late
couhagration. 1t is the second Oldest church
in the State, and is surrounded by cemetary
dead" One of the traditions connected Will
this old edifce is that the venerable steeple
was, prior TO the Revolution, surmounted with
the royal coat of arms of George III, but OF
the 4th Of July, l776, thunder cloud blew up
lightning rent the steeple and dashed the in
sigma of royalty to the earth"

A Trumpet Blast.
EY JIG. WHITTIER.

The following lines, written eighteen year
ago, sound like prophecy fulfilled at the presen
crisis :
O! for God and duty stand,
Heart to heart and hand to hand
Round the old graves of the land!
Whose shrinks or fllters now,
Whose to the yoke would bow,
Brand the craven on his browl
Freedoms soil has only place
For free and fearless race;
None for traitors false and base.
Perish party perish clan,
Strike together while ye can,
Like the arm of one strong man
With one heart and with one mouth
Let the North unto the South
Speak the word beiitting both.
What though Issachar be strong,
Ye may load his back with wrong
Over mach and over long.
Patience. with her cup o'errun,
With her weary thread outspun,
Murmurs that her work is done.
Boldly, or with treacherous art,
Strike orr bloodwrought chain apart.
Break the Unions mighty heart
Work the ruin, if ye will.
Pluck upon your heads an i'll
Which shall grow and deepen still
With your bondman's right arm bare,
With his heart of black despair,
Stand alone, if stand ye darel
Onward with your fell design
Dig the gulf and draw the line
Fire beneath youl feet the minel
Deeply when the wide abyss
Yawns between your land and this,
Shall ye feel your helplessness.

a VERMONT horse jockey, boasting one day
of his horse, graYely asserted that when he

History OF AN EAGLE.-Three years since,
a party of hunters near Saginaw, Mich, found
an enormous white-headed or American eagle,
which had killed young deer and so COM
petely gorged itself on the flesh as to be unable
to fly, and after little resistance, captured
the noble bird and carried him in triumph to
Chicago, III. We were then, as Treasurer of
the Audubon Club, making collections in nat
ural History and purchased the eagle for the
museum of that institution. After exhibiting
it TO the members and the public generally for
some days, we handed it over to Thomas
Fenton, the taxidermist of the club, to be killed
and stuffed. Arsenic was given upon meat
without effect, then fifteen grains Of strychnine
were administered, but still no result. At last
Prussic acid was given, and the king of birds
closed his beautiful eyes, and after shivering
up few moments, sprung up in his cage, gave
one long scream, and gave up the ghost. The
taxidermist prepared the skin with the great
est care. and on its being exhibited in the club,
it was greatly admired, being considered the
finest specimen of the kind in the United States.
When the body of Stdphen A. Douglas was
lying in state at Bryan Hall, this eagle was
placed over the canopy above the corpse hold
ing the American flag in its talons A view
of the scene is given in Harpers and Leslie's
illustrated PAPERS, Sacramento News.

Let Him Alone.

The man Of this country whose position nov
is at once the most important and the mos
hazardous is MajorGeneral George B. CcClel
Ian. He is to fight the whole rebel power il
arms, with the untold issues of the future
hanging on the result-and he is also to fight
an army Of politicians, routinists, contractors
Intermediates, advisers and aatterers. he
needs the energy Of a Napoleon and the weari
ness of a Wellington to carry him safely thro
such an ordeal. Only thrty-fve years old
with a name scarcely known to one man in ten
of the reading public before this war broke
out, he suddenly finds himself Lifted to hight
of popular admiration aud regard, which some
of the greatest captains Of the world have only
reached after decades of brilliant deeds. II
his head can stand the first sensations of the
change, he wil indeed, give good evidence Of
that surprising merit which most people are
now ready to take upon trust. He that
ruleth his own spirits is greater than he that
taketh city"
Gen. Mcclellan is human-and while he
may be framed for victory over all enemies in
battle, he may fall in advance before the COM
bined attacks Of willy politicians, corrupt ads
7enturers and mercenary hatterers. If he has
sterling friends, they will guard him at this
hour of trial Let him have only the open foes
of his country to deal with, and he is safe, and
we are all safe with him.
The obstructionist, the red tapist, the plot>
ter, the do-nothing, the money-maker, the polls
tical parasite ard the traitor in bis hundred
disguises, are close about him at all times
Let him be shielded from their contamination
Let him be supplied with men and means for
his momentous work, and then let him have
control Of them commensurate with his respon-
sibility. Let his energies all have full swing,
for the cause Of the nation is in his hands,
under Providence Let him alone.

Parson Browmlows Wing has been suspend

spoke of the order as having come from Rich
mond. The brave editor, il that number o.
his paper, anticipating that it would be his
last, published under his name a long article
upon the deplorable condition of affairs, closing
thus:
q So far as we are concerned, we can suspend
our publication, in obedience to the dictates OF
tyranny and intollerenceAwe will yield to the
demands of an armed mob-turn over to them

death to think or speak favorably of such a
Confederacy as this, or 10 agree that honor,
patriotism, Or love of country, has influenced
the men at its head, who have plunged the
country into this revolution And whether
our humble voice is hushed in death-whether
our press is muzzled by the spirit ofintollerance
at Richmond, making this our last issue of a
journal we have edited for almost a quarter Of
a century, we beg all who may come after Us
and our paper, to credit no Secession falsehood
that may represent us as having changed our
principles from those Of an exalted devotion to
the old American Union, and of undying hos
tility to those who would perpetrate its dis

a HANDSOME SoUL.-One day last winter
a little boy from the South, who was on a visi
to the city, was taking his first lesson in the
art of sliding down hill," when he suddenly
found his feet in rather too close contact with
a lady's rich silk dress. Surprised, mortified
and confused, he sprang from bis sled, and CAP
IN hand, commenced an earnest apology:
81 beg your pardon ma am; I am very
sorry"
"Ne7er mind,' exclaimed the lady, I" there
is no great harm done, and you feel worse
about it than do"
But, dear madame" said the boy, as his
eyes filed with tears, your dress is ruined.
l thought that you would be very angry with
me for being so careless"
No, no. replied the lady, better have q
soiled dress than Il ruffed temper
"Oh ! isn't she beauty ?'' exclaimed the
lad, as the lady passed on.
" Who ?-that lady" returned his comrade.
" If you call her beauty, you shan't choose
for me. Why, she is more tkan thirty years
old, and her face is yellow and wrinkled."
q" don't care if her face is wrinlled," repli-
ed the little hero; her soul is handsome, any,
how"
A shout Of laughter followed, from which
the little fellow was obliged to escape. Re-
lating the incident to his mother, be remarked :
Oh mother, that lady did me good. 1
shall never forget it; and when am tempted
to indulge my angry passions, viii think of
what she said, Better have q soiled dress than
q ruffled temper "-Frlend of Urine.

THE GTEAT MAN.-Would he not be some
what like this pattern? A man who was
aware he had power, and yet used not that
power for himself, but for others; not for
ambition, but for doing good? Surely that
man who used his power for other people,
would be the greatest-souled man, would he
not? Let US go on, then, to find out more of
bis likeness. Would he be stern, or would he
be fretful? Would be be a man who stands
fercely on his own rights and very ready to
waive his own rights gracefully and generous
ly? Would he be extreme to mark what was
done amiss against him, or would he be very
patient when he is wronged himself, though
indignant enough when he saw others wronged?
Would he be one who easily lost his temper,
and his head, and could be easily thrown off
his balance by one foolish man? Surely not.
He would be a man whom no fool, nor all
fools together, could throw of his balance
man who could not lose his temper, could not

kindness, overcoming their evil by his good
a man, in short, whom no ilusagc without, no
ill-temper within, could shake out of his even
path Of generosity ard benevolence. Is not
that the truly magnanimous man, the great
and royal soul? Is not that the stamp Of man
whom we should admire if we met him upon
this earth? Should we not reverence that
man; esteem it an honor and pleasure to
work under that man; to take him for our
