A SOUND REsOLUTION.-The following reso-
luton was one of series unanimously adopt
ed by the recent Union State convention of
New Hampshire ~ SOB
Resolved, That Abraham Lincoln by the exercise
during the seyerest trials and most dangerous cri-
sis in the nations history, of unequaled sagacity
and craftsmanship, of moderation and prudence
which experience has shown to be the highest wis
dom, by his spotless integrity of personal eharac-
ter, above reproach, and above suspicion, and by
his slowly formed and yet unalterabe determine
ton that the tri1mph of the Constitution and the
Union Secession and treason shall be the final
triumph of liberty throughout the nation, hasre-
ceived and merited the abiding confidence of the
people to an extent never awarded t. any other
public man since Washington; that the best in
terests of the country demand that the complete
destruction of the rebellion, and the restoration of
peace, pros perty and the Union should be achiey,
under his administration of the Government; and
that we, therefore, declare Abraham Lincoln to be
the peoples choice for reelection to the Presden-
cy in 1864.
A CLASSIC TOILET.-According to testimo-
ny, which is scarcely disputed, the sun could
never have shone upon less lovely object
than Roman lady in the days of Caesars,
when she opened her eyes in the morning
or, rather, let us say, as she appeared in the
morning, for before she opened her eyes
great deal had to be DONE When she retired
to rest, her face had been covered with a
plaster composed of bread and ASS milk,
which had dried during the night, and, eonse-
quently, presented in the morning an appear
ance of cracked chalk. The purpose of the
ASS milk was not only to- preserve the bell
cacy of the skin, but to renovate the lungs;
and so strong was the belief in the efficacy of
the specific, that some energetic ladies bathed
themselves in it seventy times in the course
of single day. As for Poppo@, the fayorite
wife of Nero, she never set out on a journey
without taking in her train whole herds of
she-ass's, that she might battle whenever she
pleased so to do. The plaster of Paris bust
having wakened in the morning in a, cracked
condition, it was the Office of a host of fe-
male slaves to mature it into perfect beauty.
To clear the the field for further operations,
the first of these gently washed away with
lukewarm ass's milk the already crumbling
mask, and left smoth face, to be colored by
more reconcile artists. The slave, whose
vocation it was to paint the cheeks, delicately
laid on the red and white, having moistened
the pigment with her own saliva The appa-
rent nastiness of this operation was diminish
ed by the consumption of certain number
of scented lozenges, which, if the slave meg
lected to take, see suffered corporal punish
