A Boautiful City.

Batayia--thc capital city ofthe island
OF Java-aceording to the description Of
a newspaper correspondent, is a brill
liant specimen of oriental splendor. The
houscs-which arc as white as snow
are placed one hundred feet back from
the street, the intervening space being
filed with trees, literally alive with birds,
and every variety of plants and flowers.
Every house has piazza in front and
is decorated with beautiful pictures, ell
cgant lamps, cages, etc., while rocking
chairs, lounges, and ottomans, Of the
incest description, furnish luxurious ac-
commodations for the family who sit
here mornings and evenings. AT night
the city is one blaze Of light from the
lamps. The hotels have grounds Of
eight and ten acres in extent around
them, covered with fine shade trees, with
fountains, flowers, gardens, etc. Indeed
SO numerous arc the trees, the city al
most resembles q forest. The rooms
are very high and spacious, without car
pets, and but few curtains Meals arc
served up about the same as at first class
hotels in the United States, although
the habits Of living are quite different.
At day light coffee and tea arc taken to
the guests room, and again at eight
o clock light refreshments. At twelve
breakfast is served, and at seven, dinner.
Coffee and tea are always ready, day and
night. No business is done in the mid
die Of the day, on account Of the heat.
The nights and mornings are cool and
delightful; birds arc singing all night,
The thermometer stands at about SO de
grccs throughout the year The island
Of Java contains population Of about
10000 The island abounds in tigers,
leopards, anacondas, and poisonous in
sects of all kinds The finest fruits in
the world arc produced in great profu-
sion.

EARLY Breakfast--~Its Effect ON
Health.

Breakfast should be eaten in the morn
ming, before leaving the house for exer-
else or labor Of any description; those
who do 1t will be able to perform more
work, and with greater comfort and alac-
rity, than those who work an hour or
two before breakfast. Beside this, the
average duratinn nf Tho Eea ne thne,a
who take breakfast before exercise or
work, will be a number of years great
or than of those who do otherwise.
IL early breakfasts were taken where
chill and fever, and fever and aguc pre-
vail, and in addition brisk fire were
kindled in the family room for the hours
including sunset and sunrise, these trou-
blesomc maladics would diminish in any
one year, net tcn-fold, but thousand
fold, because miasm is moro solid, more
malignant, about sunrise and sunset,
than at any other hour during the twcn-
ty-four. This, and much more said up
on the same subject by DR.. Hall, agrees
fully with our long experience IN mi
asmatic region of the West. The most
Industrious people who come from New
England, whcro they had always been
accustomed to early rising and working
before breakfast, were the ones most liza
bic to attacks in Autumn of bilious
fever and aguc, Let us, therefore, urge
every resident in such a region never to
so to work, nor in fact so much outdoors
before breakfasting; and let no expense
OF trouble deter you from having your
dwellings purified by fire, In nsomo parts
of South Carolina men havo lost their
lives from a single nights exposure to
miasm, without fire. Hence, whenever
a person is compelled to spend night
in such situation, their first care should
be to build large fire and keep near it,
even in the smoke, without sleeping,
and 50 escape all danger from the pois-
onous atmosphere.

Tho Rebel Programme.

The rebel programme, according to
a highly intelligent sympathizer just
from western Maryland, is that Hills
forces were to occupy Gen. Hookers at
tention till the main body of the rebel
army were we'll on the way the rebel
army would then move rapidly north,
having in the mean while supplied them
selves with fresh horses from Maryland
and Pennsylvania the rebels expected
to capture Harrisburg without opposi-
ton and move at once on Philadelphia.
All the rebel officers have been newly
uniformed, and their advance forces
made to present q very fine appearance
Ewoll told his men to pay literally for
everything, and that although the peo-
pie might turn up their noses at rebel
money now, they would soon be glad to
get it. However extrayagent and sensa-
tional they may appear, they arc truth
ful representations Of the hopes and ex-
poctations Of intelligent and thinking
rebels.

nyreSIR WE ARE TOO POOR To DE
ECONOMICAL These were the words
which once heard woman use to q
rich relative Of her husband, who had
followed up his refusal Of assistance by
illusions to many little shortcomings
which he had noted in the domestic de-
tails of the family. The phrase seems
to involve contradiction but little
consideration will show even the most
superficial thinker that it expresses a
truth. Great is the power Of ready
money. Ready money can save by
wholesale purchases.

Tho Poor Whites Of tho South.

A correspondent Of the New York
Evening Post, at Hilton Head, has con
vcrscd with a former Captain in the
rebel army, and has CLEANED from him
tho following facts regarding the poor
Of the South
GAS to the general drift and course
of things in Southern society, our Cap
tain says rich are rapidly growing rich
er, and the poor poorer that the far
mors have heaps Of Confederate paper,
which as it is now at discount of seven
hundred per cent, in Savannah, they are
investing as fast as possible in lands
and negroes; while the latter, under the
dreadful pressure Of the times, arc in
process Of selling out all thcy have, in
order to keep up their existence for the
time being. Thus the larger proprie-
tors are fast eating up the smaller ones
while tho latter are utterly helpless for
the presont,and equally hopeless for the
future. The Captain declares it to be
his firm belief that, as things are now
going, the poor whites must sink, and
quickly too, into a condition hardly dis
tinguishablc from that Of the colorcd
bondmen, and not at all preferable to it.
And all this, be it observed, is just what
the large proprietors are ayowedly aim
ing at and longing to see. A few
lords, who, like the kings Of bye gone
days, can do no wrong, and a great many
serls and thralls who can donothing but
what the lords say, this is what these
great, wise benefactors Of the race have
long been aspiring to, and what they are
now in swift process Of realizing"

"Can you keep a secrct2'' asked Stone

Prosorvo tho Birds.


a correspondent Of the Rural (IlI.)
Centralia Press, says that about the
1st Of June last, VIM. Norton, an intel
ligont, observing farmer boy, near Ia,
maroa, observed the quail Commonly
called "patridgcs," in Egypt very busy
among his young corn. Ho observed a
small flock commcncing at one side Of
the field, taking about five rows, follow
ing them regularly through the field,
scratching and picking about every hill
till they came to the other side Of the
field, and then taking another five rows
on their return, and thus continuing, till
he thought they were certainly pulling
up the corn. lie shot one, and then
proceeded to examine the corn ground.
On all the ground that they had been
over he found but one stalk Of corn dis
turbcd that was scratched nearly out Of
the ground, but the kernel was still at
tached to thc stalk. In the crop Of the
quail he found one cut worm, q striped
vine bugs, over 100 chintz bugs, that
still retained thoir individuality, mass,
apparently consisting Of hundreds Of
chintz bugs, but not one kernel Of corn.
The quails have been decreasing in
number in that vicinity, and the chintz
bug Increasing. It's believed thatthese
facts stand in relation Of cause and ef-
feet to oacc other.

MARY BY TIE CROSS.


Jews woro wrought to cruel madness;
Christians fled in fear and sadness;
Mary stood the cross beside:
At its foot her fcet she planted,
By the dreadful scene undaunted,
Till tho gentle sufferer died:
Poets oft have sung her story,
Painters decked her brow with glory,
Priests her name have deified.
But no worship, song or glory
Touches like that simple story
Mary stood the cross beside.
And when, under fierco oppression,
Goodness suffers like transgrcssion,
Christ again is cruciGed;
But if love be there, truc-hearted,
by no grief or terror parted,
Mary stands the cross beside
An Epitaph for an Infant.
Beneath this stone in soft rcposo,
Is laid mothers dearest PRIDE
A flower that scarce had walked to life
And light and beauty, Gre ii died.
God, in his wisdom, has recalled
Tho precious boon his love had given,
And though tho casllot mouIders here,
TIE gem ic sparkling po'0 az Heacen.
