EXCUSES FOR USING ToBACCo.-In one OF
our neighboring towns, the lads of school
acquired the habit of smoking, and resort
ed to the most ingenious methods to con
ceal the vice from their master. In this
they were successful until one evening,
when the master caught them at it, and
stood before them in awful dignity.
"How now ?" shouted the master to the
first lad " how dare you be smoking to-
bacco -!.G .a..
Sir" said the boy, am subject to the
headache, and pipe takes off the pain"
"And you? and you? and you?" in
quired the pedagogue, questioning every
boy in his turn" y.l
One had raging tooth" another the
" choIic," the third cough, and in short,
they all had something the matter with
them.
Now, sir-rah," beloved the master 10
the last boy, "what disorder do you smoke
for 2" -...
Alas all the excuses were exhausted
but the interrosatcd urchm, putting dow
his pipe after farewell vii #, and looking
up in his masters face, said IN whining
hypocritical tone:
" Sir, smoke for corns "

LAuGHTER.-Since Adam, who invented
laughter-doubtlcs when he awoke and
found Eve by his side--no two men have
laughed alike-the laugh is as distinct as
the voice-perhaps more SO, for the
laugh of full bearded man is very different
from that which he laughs when he is clean
shaved by the barber. Womcr laugh diff
ferently from men, children from women,
and some writer's even profess to detect
national pccularties in laugh; as for in
stance, say they, the Frenchman laughs
with his teeth, like the ape. The Able
Damasceni thought he had discovered, in
the various enunciation of the laughter a
sure guide to the temperaments of the
laughers Thus he said Ina ha ha belonged
to "A coleric man, he he he to the phlegmatic.

Office of President, Vice President, Minister
to England, Governor of his own State
and member of both Houses of Congress.
Thomas II. Benton was the only man who
held seat in the U. S. Senate for thirty
consecutive years.
The only instance of father and son in
the L. S. Senate, at the same time, was that
of Henry Dodge, Senator from Wisconsin

GREATNEss.-All greatness consists in
this--in being alive to what is going ON
around one in living actually; in giving
voice to the thought of humanity in say
ing to ones fellows what they want to hear
at that moment in being the concretion,
the result of the present world. limo other
way can one affect the world than in re-
spending thus TO its needs--in embodying
thus its ideas, You will see, in looking in
history that all great men have been a
piece of their time take them ont and set
them elsewhere and they will not fit so well /;
they were made for their day and genera
ton. The literature which has left any
mark, which has been worthy Of the name,
has always mirrored what was doing
around it; not necessarily daguerreotyping
the mere outside, but at least rejecting the
nside-the thoughts, if not the action of
men-ther feelings aud sentiments, even if
it treated of apparently far-olf themes.

The Age Of Our Earth.

Among the astounding discoveries of
modern science is that of the immense
periods that have passed in the gradual
formation of the earth. So vast were the
cycles of the time preceding even the APP
pearance of man on the surface of our
globe, that our own periods seem as yes
terday when compared with the epochs that
have gone before it. Had we only the evi-
dence of the deposits of rocks heaped above
each other in regular strata by the slow
accumulation of materials, they alone would
convince us of long and slow maturing of
Gods work on earth but when we add to
these the successive populations of whose
life this world has been the theater, and
whose remains are hidden in the rocks into
which the mud, or sand, or soil of whatever
kind, on which they lived has hardened in
the course of time--or the enormous chains
OF mountains whose upheaval divided these
periods of quiet accumulations by great
convulsions-or the changes of different
nature in the confgurations of our globe,
as the sinking of lands beneath the ocean,
or the gradual rising of continents and is
lands above or the slow growth Of the
ccral reefs, those wonderful sea-walks,
raised by the little ocean achitects whose
bodies furnish both the building stones and
cement that binds them together, and who
have worked SO busly during the long cen
turies that there are extensive countries,
lAountain chains, islands and long lines of
coasts consisting solely of their remains; or
the countless forests that have grown up,
hourished, died and decayed to fill up the
storehouse of coal that fed the fires of the
human race. If we consider all these re-
cords of the past, the intellect fails to grasp
II chronology of which our experience fur
nishes no data, and time that lies behind us
seems as much an eternity to our concep,
ton as the future that stretches indefinitely

BY MS WIFE.
I'm lonely, Oh, so lonely,
For thou art far away;
I've watched thy coming long in vain,
Through all the long bright day;
And now as evening draweth near,
fain would wait our evening cheer.
Your chair is at the table,
The tree ones by its side,
And just across it is your wifc's-
Eight years happy bride.
The wealth of world was never ours,
But we had happiness in showers.
How long and sad the days now
The children cry for thee,
And ask, "Whcn will dear papa come
And take me on his knee,
And kncel beside the old arm chair,
Where we so oft have knelt in prayer ?"
But bark cry of anguish
Comes borne on Southern gales;
Blood from the ground is crying,
The bondman's piercing walls;
And Freedoms sons must marshal now
To lay the murderous tyrant low.
The battle-cry Of Freedom
Is shouted DER the land
God bless our loved America,
And bless the hero band,
Who now for freedom give their lives
A noble, willing sacrifice.
"To battle-on to battle -
Resounds the fearful cry
And hosts are marching onward
To conquer or to die.
God of the friendless, hear our prayer,
And spare the lite to us SO dear.

sir, what have newspapers to do with the
education of childrcng'
why, sir, they have vast deal to do
with it. would Just as soon think of keep
ing them from school as to withhold from
them the newspaper; it is little school in
itself. Being new every week il attracts
their attention. and they are sure to pcrusc
It. Thus, while they are storing their
minds with useful knowledge. they are at
the same time acquiring the art OF reading
| have often been surprised that men of
understanding should ovealook the import
ancc of II newspaper in family"
"lu truth, ncighhor b., very frequently
think that should like them, but can not
afford the expense"
Cant afford the expense. What lot me
ask, is the value of two or three dollars u
year in comparison with the pleasure aud
advantages to be derived from well
conducted newspaper? As poor as am I!
| would not for fifty dollars u year deprive
myself of the happiness | now enjoy of
reading and hearing my children read, and
talk about what they have read in the
newspapers. And then, the reflection that
they are growing up useful and in intcll-

SURE END OF HABITuAL DRINKERs.-No
case is remembered, in the practice of n
quarter of n century, where malt liquors or
any alcoholic drinks whatever, have ever
had a permanent good in improving the di-
gestion. Apparent advantages sometimes
result but they are transient or deceptive.
If there is no appetite, it is because nature
has provided no gastric juice and that is
the product of nature, not of alcohol. If
there is appetite, but no digestive power,
liquor no more supplies that power than
would the lash give strength to an exhaust
ed donkey. If torture does arouse the
sinking beast it is only that it shall fall into
still greater exhaustion for which there is
no recovery so with the use of liquors
and tobacco as whetters of appetite, when
at length the desire for the accustomed
stimulus ceases, and the man scIens; there
is no longer relish for the dram and the
chew; and life fades apace, either in stu
por from which there is no awakening, or
by wasting and uncomfortable diarrhea-

glove to display ostontatious rings.
Still we notice Nesting in the straw hc

RETURNING REASON.

The Legislature of Wisconsin, which is
largely Republican, recently passed the
following resolution by a decided majority
Resolred That the restoration of the
Union as il mas, and The support Of the
Constitution as IL Is, has become the par.
amount question OF the times, and ought
to unite in political action every loyal citi
zen, in every State Of our common country.
Democrats subscribe most heartily to
those sentiments. and yet fol so doing are
denounced as disloya aud traitors Wha,
then must our Republican friends say of
their Wisconsin brethren? Is there Incl
pient treason there The voice Of Wis
consin in this matter is in harmony with
the popular feeling That simple resolu
ton lie a platform sound enough, good
enough and broad enough for every patriot
