a SOUND REsoLUTION.-The following reso-
luton was one of a series unanimously adopt
ed by the recent Union State convention of
New Hampshire:
Resolved, That Abraham Lincoln by the exercise
during the seyerest trials and most dangerous cri-
and craftsmanship, of moderation and prudence
which experience has shown to be the highest wis
dom, by his spotless integrity of personal charac-
ter, above reproach, and above suspicion, and by
his slowly formed and yet unalterable determine
ton that the triNmph of the Constitution and the
Union over Secession and treason shall be the final
triumph of liberty throughout the nation, has re-
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
destr uction of the rebellion and the restoration of
peace, prosperity and the Union should be achieve
under his administration of the Government and
that we, therefore, declare Abraham Lincoln to be
the peoples choice for reelection to the Presiden
cy in 1864.
A CLASSIC TonET.-According to testimo-
ny, which is scarcely disputed, the sun could
never have shone upon a less lovely object
than a 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
plaster composed of bread and ass's milk,
which had dried during the night, and conse-
quently, presented in the morning an appear
ance of cracked chalk. The purpose of the
asss milk was not only to preserve the bell
cacy of the skin, but to renovate the lungs;
the specific, that some energetic ladies bathed
themselves in it seventy times in the course
of single day. As for Poppoa, the favorite
wife of Nero, she never set out on 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 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 milk the already crumbling
mask, and left smooth face, to be colored by
more reconcile artists. The slave, whose
vocation it was to paint the cheeks delcately
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 sented lozenges, which, if the slave neg
lected to take, see suffered corporal punish
ment.-Dictens's Al the Year Round. .
RoMANT1c-Alluding to the will of Mr..
James 81. Roosevelt, millionaire bachelor
of New York city, lately deceased, the New
York correspondent of the Boston Post
writes: 81. .- ....
I" The most courteous part of the affair is
that the only legatee under the will (and the
sole executrix) is lady to whom the late la
mented had been several times betrothed:
once even so nearly married that the cards |
we're out, the guests assembled, and the ex-
pected bride on hand, en- regle, but the very |
necessary bridegroom did not come to time. |
The reason why never transpired, but the
couple made it up again. Still the happy day |
was pOstpOned-as it turned ont al etel.niLatellz
