Come listen awhile to me, my lad,
Come listen to me for spell
Let that terrible drum
For moment be dumb,
For your Uncle is going to tell
What befell
A youth who Iov.d liquor too we'll
A clever young man was he, my lad,
And with beauty uncommonly bless.
Ere with brandy and wine
He began to decline,
And behaved like person possessed;
Iprotest
The temperance plan is the best.
One evening he went to a tavern, my lad
He went to Tavern one night,
And drinking too much
KUN, Brandy, an such,
Tho chap got exceedingly " Tight"
And was quite,
What your aunt ould entitle fright"
The fellow fell into snooze, my lad
IT'S a horrible .lumber he takes
He trembles with fear,
AMI acts very queer;
hy eyes how he shivsrs and shakes
When he wakes,
And raves about horrid great snakes
IT'S a w4rning to yeu and to me, my lad,
particular caution to all
Though no one can see
The viper but hit
To hear the poor lunatic bawl.
/" How they crawl
All over the floor and the wall"
Next morning he took to his bed, my lad,
Next morning he took to his bed
And he never got up,
To dine to sur,
Though properly physicked and bied

Next day the poor fellow dead.
You've heard of the snake in the grass, my lad
OF The viper concealed in the grass;
But you must know,
Mans deadlirst foe
Is a snake Of a different class:
Alas -
IT'S the viper that turks in the glass.
Awarning to you and to me, my lad
A very imperative call
OF liquor keep clear
Don't drink even beer,
If you'd shun all occasion to fall
If at ALL
Pray take it uncommonly small.
And you are psrtial to snakes, my lad,

VEAL OUTLETS. - Outlets are cut
either from the fillet or the neck,
but chops are taken from the loin.
Some persons have deprecated the
practice of beating meat, but it is
essentially necessary in veal outlets,
which otherwise, especiallyifmere-
ly fried, are very indigestible.-
They should be cut about one
quarter, or at the most, one-half an
inch in thickness, and we'll beaten !;
they will then, when fried, taste
like sweetbread, be quite as tender,
and nearly as rich. Egg them
over, dip in bread-crumbs and sa-
worry herbs, fry, and serve with
mushroom sauce and fried bacon.-
Or, prepare as above, and fry them;
lay them in dish, and keep them
hot; drodge a little flour, and put
a bit of butter into the pan; brown
it, and boil quickly; season with
pepper, salt and catsup, and pour
it over them.

ADVICE TO SOLDIERS. Every SOL
dier should keep in his knapsack a
card, upon which should be plainly
inscribed his full name and address,
with his company and regiment.
Last week two cases occurred in
which soldiers were brought here
from the battle field-one ill and
the other wounded-both too low
to ascertain those particulars from
them. They died, and the hospi-
tai authorities were deprived of
the opportunity of apprising dis
tant relatives or friends of their
decease. In another instance-a
fine lad killed in battle-alE hope
of tracing his relatives was gone,
when, by mere accident, q little
Bible, presented to him by. his mo-
ther, was found beneath the cloth
lining of his old coat. That little
volume disclosed the name of the
boy.-GSn. Times.

OUR CHIP BASKET.

Real success must always be
founded on merit. That which a.
rises from triekery, overreaching,
fraud, or what che world calls
smartness, is not worth the name
of success
Never be above your business.
Whatever it may be, follow it,.
and honor it with your attention
and care. If unworthy or dishon-
orable, abandon it at once.
Society is the atmosphere of
souls; and we necessarily inhale
from it what is either beautiful or
infectious.
Our customs and habits are like
the ruts in roads. The wheels of
life settle into them, and we jog
along through the mire, because It
is too much trouble to get out of
them.
He who thinks he can do with
out others, is mistaken !; he who
thinks Others cannot do without
him, is still more mistaken.
The man who ate his dinner
with the fork of a river has been
attempting to spin a mountain
top.
The best way to do good to our
selves is to do it to others; the
right way to gather is to scatter.
Ii you are conscious of certain
infrmities Of character, select COM
panions in whose society you would
be ashamed to give way to them.
Some of the medical journals.
are much distracted about the Gus
tom of lying in bed; the habit of
|ie-ing out of bed, is, we think, a
great deal more to be guarded
against.
Believing is always gainful; no
man ever lost anything by bellev"
ing God or trusting His word.

An Incident in the Bay State.

AS an illustration of the practical
workings of ultra Republicanism,
and to exhibit the real character of
the recent Republican Convention,
we quote from the Boston Post the
following significant anecdote"
'In Worcester last Wednesday
morning, three respectable gentle
men entered u BARRIERS shop to get
shaved. There were three negroes
lounging in the interior, apparent
ly belonging to the shop and wait
ing for customers. The gentlemen
took off their hats, coats and shirt
collars, and disposed themselves in
the arm-chairs to be lathered and
operated upon. Two of the negroes
quickly few about their business,
but the third customer remained
unattended to, the iniifferentne negro
whom he supposed would remove
his beard for him continued to.
brush his own crispy hair and ad-
mire himself in. the glass, regard
less of the customers PATIENCE
'Well,' said the latter, finally get
ting out of patience, are you going
to shave me when you get through
brushing your hair?' Not dis
morning, sarp was the curt reply;
and the negro walked leisurely out
of the door. The gentleman was
lost in astonishment,' but found
himself again upon learning from
one of the grinning BARRIERS that he
had been addressing cone oh de
delegates to de conUenshunv

ABOUT LIFE.-If it is we'll for q
man to live at all, he should en-
deavor to avoid all those influences
which detract from the harmony
and beauty of human existence.
In other words, he should snake
the most of life," and not allow
himself to be distracted, annoyed,
or contounded by anything. He
should fully possess himself, being
at peace with his own soul, and
having great good will for all
mankind. Life, then, will have a
beautiful significance to him; its
currents will be deep and flow
gently on-in all the beauties of
the world reflected.

SOLDIERS cannot be too careful
about Gaping their guns. The
Aurora Commercial says:
As it is generally supposed that
when the cap is removed there is
no danger Of the premature dis.
charge Of a gun, the experiment
was satisfactorily tested by one o.
our ultizsns one day lasT week =
Hn loaded one Of the q. s. percus.
sion muskets, and after carefully
removing the cap, cooked the gun
and pulled the trigger. The piece
was discharged. The experiment
was repeated five consecutive times,
with the same result. In removing
the cap, there is always sufficient
of the Illuminating powder adher-
ing to the nipple to ignite the
charge, so that o gun without a cap
is about as dangerous as one with
it on. We hope those who have
occasion to handle guns in our
streets will bear this fact in mind.

The Capture of Garibaldi.

The Turin correspondent of the
Constitutional gives the following
details of the capture Of Garibaldi:
TURIN, August 80.
This morning, at 2 o'clock, the
Minister of the Interior received
the news of the combat at Aspra-
monte, and of the capture of Carl
baldi and his volunteers. From
the dispatches it appears that
Garibaldi's intention was, if posi-
BILE, to gain the Tyrol. Colonel
Pallavicino, who commanded the
Bersaglieri, knowing that Carl
baldi was at Aspramonte, resolved
to attack him, and despite the diff
cult nature of the ground, he led
on his regiment, which he had re-
inforced by two battalions of the
line, He divided his little corpe
into three columns, which ascend
ed the hills toward Aspramonte by
three different paths Garibaldf
was summoned to surrender; on
his refusal, the fight commenced.
1t was long and desperate. The
volunteers made o resistance which
was not to be expected from such
young and inexperienced troops.
The number of killed is not
great, but there are more than
800 wounded on both sides. Carl
baldi was wounded twice--once
through his thigh, and the other
time through his foot. Menotti
Garibaldi is also wounded. The
position was carried at the point
of the bayonet. AS every issue
was guarded, retreat was impos-
sible, and the result has been the
unconditional surrender of all.
