Good Old Names.
Of old spade was called a spade

Of old a spade was called a spade
By smples and by sages
A workman did his honest work.
And servants earned their "wages."
A "man' was title of respect,
Wherever virtue named it,
There was but one of higher worth,
And lovely woman" claimed it;
But now we masquerade with words,
The truth great Otfense is,
And desecrate our English tongue 0. erg
By pride and false preteases.
We shame the language of our sires-- t
We talk so mild and mcekly;
We've Cooperative" for " "wOrkingmen,
And draw our 'salaries" weekly.
Our "lady' takes the place Of wife
The word is tue and hearty;
And every 8 man's a gentleman"
Unless we call him party"
The ''shOpman" hates the name Of "shOp,"
And by perversion later,
The man who digs a railway trench
Is called ''nayigator."
Oh give us back our honest speech
It has a soul of beauty
And let us do our daily "wOrk,"
And think it pleasant duty.
Let's earn our wages as of yOre-
The word can never harm US
Let's love our 'sweethearts' and our "wives,"
And own that fwOmen" charm us.
So shall our actions, like our words,
Be void of atfectation, .-.-
And "spade' be 'spade'' and "man" be "man
Throughout the Yankee nation.

There is but little known in this country,
and probably in any other christian land, of
the tenets of the Mahometans. They are
crude and ill-digested, the Koran being a
rude burlesque Of the Bible. The Mahom-
etans are jealous theologians, and out Herod
Herod in their fierce sectarianism. They
are divided into seventy three sects, who all
cordially agree that the members Of but one
of them can by any possibility be saved,
each set of course claiming to be the favored
one. They have had, and still have their
great lights in theology, and in all such re-
spects are very much like the rest of us,
only more so. For example, Ahmed Ebu
Hanbal, the founder of one of their chief
sects, and who died, about 200 years after
Mahomet became a mighty man among the
Musselmenj and his followers became so
numerous and so devoted to him that on his
death he was followed to the grave by no less
than eight hundred thousand men and sixty
thousand women, according to the statements
Of some Of the reporters Of those whose lin
cal descendants are now supposed to be
among the especial correspondents" with our
various armies in Virginia and the South

MIsERIES OF A BRIDEGROOM.-The edi-
tor of country paper has been absent for a
few weeks, and during that time a drunken
compositor had been employed but he had
made so many blunders, that it was not deem
ed advisable to endure his presence any long
er. One day after the editors return he was
seated in his office writing a 'crusher"
against a political opponent, when the door
was flung violently open, and a stranger
rushed in, bearing copy of the Crabtown
Clarion, and in the other a huge family
umbrella, la battering ram.

Daniel Webster had an anecdote of old
Father Serl, the minister of his boyhood,
which is too good to be lost 1t was Gus
tomary then to wear buckskin breeches in
cold weather One Sunday morning in Au-
tumn, Father Serl brought his breeches
down from the gaTet, but the wasps had ta-
ken possession during the summer and were
having a nice time in them BY dint of
great effort he got the intruders out, and
dressed for meeting, but while reading the
scripture to the congregation he felt dag
ger from one of the enraged small-waisted
fellows, and began jumping around the pull
pit, sapping his thighs The more he
slapped and danced, the more they stung.-
The people thought him crazy, but he ex-
planned the matter by saying-"Brethren,
the word Of the Lord is in my mouth, b1t
the Devil is in my breeches 4" Webster al
ways told it with great glee to the minister's

The Progress of Lyons relates the follow
ing anecdote of the late Eugene Deacroix s
father, who was Minister of Foreign Rela-
tions under the Directory: "An envoy of
the Sublime Porte, on the point of return
ing to COnstantinople, was taking leave of
the Minister, when letter was delivered to
the latter. NJ. Delacroix broke the seal and
read the contents. 1t was his dismissal
from office. Il am rejoiced, said be, re-
suming his conversation with the Embassa-
dor, that you have come to-day, for to-mor-
row | should not have had the honor of re-
ceiving you. I am dismissed Allah ?
exclaimed the Turk, who, crossing his arms
over his breast, and taking leave with sor-
rowful air, quilted the room About an
hour after NJ Delacroix left his cabinet and
on crossing an ante-room was surprised to
SEQ the envoy quietly seated in the eastern
fashion and appearing to be in a reverie.-
Going up to him the minister said Have
you forgotten to mention something to me
that you are hereY NO; but [ am wait

solemnly replied the Turk, turning his eyes
toward Heaven. 'What end 2 'The arri-
val Of the bow-strng with which you are to
be strangled. wish to know how west
ern vizier can die NJ. Delacroix laughed,
and so heartily that the Turk lost all hope
of witnessing the drama he was expecting
He rose up disappointed, saying, 'At Con-
stantinople, when vizier is dismis ed, he is
always strangled so that he may not divulge
the state secrets. 1t is an excellent precau-
tion, and am sorry to see it is not adopted
in France"

WAsHINToN's BATTLES. General Wash
ingtons first battle was fought at Trenton,
December rs, l776, which he won, his sec
ond at Princeton, January 2, 1777 which
he likewise won his third was at Brandy
wine, September II, 1777, in which he was
defeated by General Howe his fourth was
at Germantown, October 4, 1777, where
he was also defeated by Howe, after des-
perate engagement; his fifth was at Mon
mouth, june %, 1873, in which he was vic
torious and the sixth and closing battle of
the Revolution was fought at Yorktown, Oc-
tober 10, 1881, in which he came off victo-
rious by capturing General CORVALLIS, with
all his army, numbering 1900 men. In
summing up; we find that he was victorious
in four battles and defeated in two. In the
two battles in which he was defeated, Gen
eral Howe commanded the British, and
Washington's troops were very inferior in
numbers to those Of the British commander

How THE EARTH WAS FoBMED.-If the
reader, after perusng the following descrip-
tion Of the probable mode of the Formation
Of the earth, given by an English scientific
writer in new volume, does not understand
the process, he bad better leave this "inter-
nal spherical vacuity" and go where bigger
words are used:
A formal idea of the heavens and the
earth may be obtained by imagining heaven
as at first an efiuvient generation from
mono-central point, occupying or creating
and occupying space; the earth, as the ar
rest or end of such gencrative action, with
the gradual relaxation of central tension aud
abnegation Of such center; the consequence
being the formation of huge internal spher-
ical vacuity, termed, in the genetic record,
"earth."

Make Home Bright and Pleasant.
More than building snowy mansions,
NJ ore than dress and fine array,
More tnan domes or lofty steepies,
Nor than station power and sway
Make your home both neat and TASTEFUL
Bright and pleasant, always fair
Where each heart shall rest cOntented
Grateful for each beauty there.
Moro than lofty swelling titles,
More than fashions Turing glare,
More than Mammon's gilded hOnors,
More Iban thought can well compare,
See that home is made attractive ...
BY surroundings pure and bright
Trees arranged with taste and order,
Flowers with all their sweet delight.
Seek to make your home most lovely
Let it be smiling spot,
Where, in sweet cOntentment resting,
Care and sorrow are forgot.
Where the flowers and trees are waving,
Birds will sing their sweetest song;
Where the purest thoughts will lnger,
Confidence and love belong.
There each heart will rest contented,
Seldom wishing far to roam,
Or, if roaming, still will cherish
Mem ries IF that pleasant home.
Such home makes man the better;
Pure and lasting its control;
Home with pure and bright surroundings,
Leaves its impress on the soul.

No CHILDREN,-W talk o. Adam and
Eve, says an exchange, as being before the
fall in a happy condition but one thing
they missed-they never were children =
Adam never played "hookey;" he never
drove a tandem Of boys with string, he
never skated on a pond, or played ball or
rode down hill on hand sled. And Eve
never made play house, she never took tea
with another little girl, from tea-table set
out with tea-things she never rolled hoop,
or jumped rope, or pieced baby quilt, or
dressed doll. They never played blind
mans bluff, or pussy wants a corner, or hur-
ly-burly or any games Of which childhood
dsports itself. How blank their memory
must have been within no visions of early
youth came swelling up their hearts; no
memories of childhood floating back from
the long past; no mothers voice chanting
a lullaby to the ear Of infancy in the still
hour Of night; no fathers words of Kindness
speaking from the church yard where he
sleeps Adam and Eve, alone, of all the
countless millions of men and women that
have ever lived, had no childhood.

Butler Comfy,

The following article is from the Slut
Jo0rpaL new Republican paper, pub
lished in Harrisburg, by DR.. d. H., B.
Brewer d Son, who formerly resided in
this county.
The sterling patriotism of old Butler
county cannotbe questioned, anymore than
the universal intelligence Of her people,
We know Of no county in the Common
wealth where the masses possess more
general knowledge of public affairs; and
as might be expected they are fully alive
to the great issue before the country.
We have frequently had occasion to re-
mark the prompituJc and the vigor of
their response to every call of the gov
crnmcnt.
Another evidence is now before us. that
old Butler county is determined to fight
on until this wicked rebellion is subdued;
it is the fact that Capt Lyons company
formerly of the old 18th, and now of the
lO2d regiment, passed through Harris
burgh a few days ago, mastering only 43
brave fellows out Of 100 who had went
out on the war path with them-now that
company is recruited to the number of
l35 and many more were refused. All
the Butler companies have to do to fill
their ranks is to let the people know how
many they want"
