NEEDED MEDICINE is more RI
diculous than for young people to "put on
airs" They are fair game for jokers. The
following shows how one of this class was
"taken down."
Some twenty years ago farmers barn
in the vicinity of Worcester was struck
by lightning and burned to the ground.-
Many of the citizens had gone to the fire,
when fop, well strapped and dickied, with
his hat on one side Of his head, met the
celebrated DIR. G--n, and accosted him in
this wise:
"Can you ah, tell me, doctah, how fab
they have succeeded in extinguishing the
conflagration Of the ah, unfortunate yco-
mans barn?"
The doctor eyed the individual attentive
ly, dropped his head as usual for moment,
and then slipping his thumb and finger in.
to his vest pocket, took out couple OF
pills and handed them to him, saying
Take these, sir, and 60 to bed, and if
you do not feel better in the morning call
at my Office"

INCIDENTS OF THE LATE BATTLE Or LEBA.
NoN.--During the battle at Lebanon many
incidents occurred which are worthy OF
notice, ana are reported to us by an officer
who was in the battle. When the battle
was raging tierccst, two brothers met and
recognized each other--one being in Col.
Woltord's regiment, the other in Morgan's
thieving band. They Immediately fired at
one another, eaching missing his mark
The one in Wollord's regiment said, after
the battle was over, "I'm ID glad that |
didn't kill my brother, though he is trait
or and deserves DEATH This tragic Incl
dent of our civil war recalls, with painful
vividness, the memorable and bloody scene
in the play of King Henry VI, which

A HUMOROUS PRIEsr--Among humorous
and eccentric preachers, Father Andre
holds distinguished rank. Preaching in a
monastery which had recently been struck
bv lightning, Father Andre expatiated up
on the goodness Of God, who took, as he
would show, special care of his children,

The MAN WHO DON'T *AKE PAPER.-The
man who refuses to take his home paper,
bee ause he can get an eastern paper half d
dollar cheaper, was in town the other day.
He is posted on the war, but as to his
knowledge of home affairs; We give an i:
lustration: lie wished to know when the
next general election would be held in Iowa
how how many members of Congress
we are entitled to-had the Legislature ad
jonrned-and great many more questions
Of State affairs, which any, boy reader OF
the Mercury could have easily answered.
The nature of the information which he
cleaned from the street sources, may be
inferred from the fact that he told his
wife when he got home that d Governor
was to be elected in August, and Dennis A.
Mahony, was the candidate on the Repub-
lican ticket
1t was doing wrong for the stteet gos-
sips thus to impose upon the poor man;

SUNSET.
FROM VICTOR HUGO.

love the evening. golden and serene,
whether it Eild old manors, dirnly seen
among their green erb owering shrsuds,
Or make the distant fog n bank OF fires,
Or shoot through azure skies its thousand spires,
Mid archipeagoes OF clouds.
Q, view the sky! A hundred clouds adrift,
lieaped by the wind, grotesquey group an shift
Their natneless forms upon its plain;
Beneath their edge tho paliid lightnings flare,
As II, in haste, some giant of the air
Unsheathed and sheathed his sword again.
Athwart their shadows still the sunlight streams.
And makes the strawthatchsd cottage with It's beams
Burn like REGAL palace Bright
With mist dispute tie vague horizons rim,
And, falling upon lazy meado~ ~s dim
Lies shining ir broad pools Of light.
Sometimes seem to see, suspended black
Aud huge, crocodile vii h ridgy back
Aud ,is. 70 rows of sharpened teeth
Along his eaden breast the sunbeams glide,
thousand crimson cfoudiets fake his side,
Or gleam like FURNISHED scales beneath.
Anon palace forms; then shakes the air.
And quick as thought the cloudy structure fair
Topples in shattered ruin down:
Far O'er the sky, it's verml turrets spread
With downward pointing spires, hang overhead
Like mountain pinnac es o'erthrown.
These leaden, iron. copper, golden clouds
Where thunder lightning storm whirlwind shrouds
Itself asleep with muttered roar
'Tis God who hangs them in the skies profound,
As hangs the warrior from his ceiling round
His ringing arms when war Is DER.
All vanishes and like great red globe Of brass,
That's east into the furnaces molten mass,
Hurried adown the western slope
The Sun, beneath the cloven waves submersed,
Filings up fiery spume of clouds dispersed
In flakes Ger all the welkin cope.
o view the sky aud, while the day light falls,
Always and everywhere, ben cath its wells,
love nelfabe behold:
Its solemn beauty masks mysterJ-
summer, when gen,mei with nights embr oidery
When black and pall-like, winter cold.

In THE COUNTRY, July Is, 1862.
DEAR TIMEs-I have left the busy marts
Of commerce, and retired to rural life
The roar and hustle Of the city, I have ex
changed for cottage in quiet country
town. where
"Frec from woes that vex the poor,
And griefs which haunt tie rich mans door,
l propose to spend the few days l tarry in
this world of fun and affliction. Do not
suppose that by ''ths country" l mean a
bleak prairie. Our town has long arrived
at the dignity Of a city, has both river and
rail communication with "cutside barbara
ans" mayor, an Indefinite number of
common scoundrels," barber, and fire
engine. Can the Pocket City yet boast the
latter accomplishment 1t is pleasant
living in the country; when the dog
star rages" nftsrtr-r,non,eter stands, 1o2
in the shade, as it did yesterday, it is
pleasant to lie under ones own vine and
fig tree, and dodge the constantly falling
bugs, or calculate the probabilities Of the
big bclied spiders falling in you face, who
like the sword Of Damocles, is suspended
by a single hair. When the shades Of
evening fall, it is pleasant to sit in the open
air, while the gentle zephyer fans your
cheeks, the "shard borne teet!c' dashes
into your face, and the mosquito, on "filmy
wing plaintively asks permission to in.
sert that little bill. l admire the study of
entomology, but when prosecuted under
difficulties, (fghtng bed bugs in country
taverns for instance,) it has its draw backs
We are going to have circus, a real
bona tide circus, where Dan Rice will ex.
hibit his trained mules, his educated horse,
and his big nose This fact beams in every
school boys face, and is blazoned on every
wall. Dan is born Snowman, and though
he did make secession speeches in New
Orleans, is all right on the Union goose
now.
The anniversary of our National Indie.
pendence, occurred this year on the fourth
day Of July, and was observed in the usu.
al way, by exploding fire crackers and i'm.
bibins lager. l preferred the latter and
finished keg about tea time. At night,
in company with friend, l went to a
Teutonic ball. We drank seven glasses of
lager each, and then took some beer; then
we smoked, and afterward drank zwei
glass beer. | then essayed dancing, but
couldn't get the step. Drank six glasses
of beer and tried it again with stout built
frow, whose knowledge Of the English Ian.
guage only embraced the words lager beer
but she was q famous dancer. We
whirled around three hundred and sixty
five times minute by the clock, aud
should have made even better time, had
not my partner unaccount;sbly landed in
the orchestra. retired down stains in
tolerable good order, friendly boot bring
ing up the rear, and kindly accelerating
my descent. The next day was sued by
the proprietor Of the big fiddle and DANA
gcs assessed at SIS Since then | have
eschewed Tutonic balls, purchased a plain
suit of black, stove pipe hat, rented a
pew in church and joined the nit, society.
In any "future communications to this
department. you will please not to men
