made ample provisions for such soldiers families as
in need, by appointing Agents in fhe different pre-

Coon AND BAD ONENs.-A number Of
good and bad omens have been taken from
observing what happens to one at starting
or what person or animal one first meets in
the morning. To stumble presages misfor-
tune; as it indicates want of self-possession.
The dread Of hare crossing the path, seems
to be prevalent; while to see wolf is good
omen; the former suggesting cowardicc, and
the latter victory. To meet an old woman is
unlucky, being suggestive Of witches. Priests
also are ominous OF evil-a belief, with sail
ors, as old as the days Of the Prophet Jonah.
The omens in which the Thugs, or secret
murderers of Indis, believe with peculiar de-
yotion, are almost the same which the an
clients observed with equal attention, especi-
ally the appearance of animals on the right
or left hand. Among the Greeks the former
denote good luck, and the latter bad. Strange
to say, among the Romans, this rule was re-
yersed. From a remote period the number
seven has been held in great favor. The
seventh son was supposed to possess healing
power; and in Ireland the seventh son Of n
seventh son was considered as endowed not
only with healing, but prophetic gifts. An
omen about magpies is curious to see only
one, denotes sorrow; two mirth; three, a
wedding; and four presage funeral. How
ever, an omen is not always considered an
arbitrary sign Of the future, as it may be
prevented BY counter-charm. Thus, al
though the spilling Of salt forebodes strife, it
may be prevented by taking it up and throw
ing it over the left shoulder. The observance
of lucky and unlucky days was often the
turning point of great events. In fixing the
wedding-day May among months, and Friday
among days, were generally Stunned by both
rich and poor. Perhaps half the supersti-
tions that still exist, group themselves round
the subjects of love and marriage, the liking
or passion for one individual, rather than any
other, is SO unaccountable that the God OF
Love has been felicitously tabled as blind.

ANDY JOHNSON, it is said, began life as
tailor's apprentice, and was taught to read
by his wife after he was married. But he
was made of sterling stuff, and from the day
when the germs Of knowledge were FIRST
sown in his vigorous mind, he has steadily
worked his way upward to honor and dis
tinction, until he now ranks among the first
statesmen Of this land, SO prolific Of great
men. Such was the humble origin Of our
candidate for the Vice Presidency, and such
his present proud position. His brilliant
success, under such advantages as beset his
early youth, is an admirable illustration of
what well-directed energy can accomplish,
and also of the equality and benignity Of our
Government, which rebels are attempting to
destroy, to rear upon its ruins 4 slaye-driy-
ing despotism, which would cash out the
hopes and aspirations Of poor whites and
blacks alike. What would have been the
fate Of Andy johnson, and Henry Clay, ana
Daniel Webster. and Andrew Jackson, and
Stephen A. Douglas, and host of others
whose names are illustrious in our history,
under Government whose would be found
ers declare that it is shame, an outrage,
that the sons Of poor men should be permit
ted to receive equal education and enjoy
equal political advantages with the sons OF
the wealthy s-San Juan Press.

WAsH1NaToN's PRAYER.-In the summer
Of l776, Washington, exploring alone one
day the position Of the British forces on the
banks of the Hudson, ventured too far from
his own camp, and was compelled BY sud-
den storm and the fatigue of his horse, to
seek shelter for the night in the cottage Of a
pious American peasant, who, greatly struck
with the language and manner of his guest,
and listening at the door of his chamber,
overheard the following prayer from the Fa-
ther of his Country: And now, Almighty
Father, lift is thy holy will that we shall OBJ.
tain place and name among the nations Of
the earth, grant that we may be enabled to
show our gratitude for thy goodness, by our
endeayors to fear and obey thee. Bless us
with wisdom in our councils, success in bat
tie, and let all our victories be tempered with
humanity. Endow, also, our enemies with
enlightened minds, that they may become
sensible of their injustice, and willing to re-
store our liberty and peace. Grant the geti-
ton of thy servant, for the sake Of Him
whom thou hast called thy beloved Son; ney-
yrtheless not my will but thine be DONE"

AN army chaplain, speaking Of the bravery
of some of our troops, relates the following
incident which he witnessed upon the field Of
battle: A Union soldier was fighting brave
ly after most Of his companions had been
shot down. The chaplain watched him. He
saw a cannon ball strike the soldiers left
arm and sever it between the shoulder and
elbow. The concussion turned the soldier
completely around, his arm falling at dis
tance of ten feet or more from where he
stood. The chaplain watched him, uncon-
sciously to the manned soldier-who did not
know that he was regarded at that moment
by any other than the All Seeing Eye. The
soldier looked at his left side and beheld his
bleeding stump; then turning round he COM
mehced searching for his discovered arm.
He picked it up and held it moment to its
place he then held it aloft in his right hand,
and exultingly exclaimed, a. This is my sacri-
fee for the Union !" he hurled it with all his
might after the retreating foe.

MILITARY NECESSITY. Universalist
clergyman, who has for years felt and ex.
pressed utter adherence Of the doctrine Of
future punishment, accepted chaplaincy in
a Western regiment, and served through an
arduous campaign in the army OF the Cum
berland. A few days since, being home on
sick leave, he was called upon to address
town meeting. In the course OF his remarks
he touched upon the atrocious baroarlties OF
the rebels. "My friends" said he, 81 have
always preached to you against such instltu-
tions as hell or future punishment, put my
modified nv opinions somewhat; believe
there is a hell provided for those wicked
devils, as military necessity"

Concerning Us All.

The man that dies youngest, as might be
expected, perhaps, is the railway brakeman,
his average age is only 81. Yet this must be
taken with some allowance, from the fact
that hardly any but young and active men are
employed in the capacity.
At the same age dies the factory work.
woman, through the combined influence Of
confined air, sedentary posture, scant wages
and unremittted toll.
Then comes the railway baggageman, who
is smashed, on an average, at 80.
MillIners and dressmakers live but little
longer. The average of the one is 81, aud
the other 80.
The engineer, the fireman, the conductor,
the powder-maker, the well-digger, and the
factory operative. all of whom are exposed to
sudden and violent deaths, die on an average
under the age of 35.
The cutler, the dyer, the leather-dresser,
the apothecary, the confectioner, the cigar
maker, the printer, the silversmith, the paint
er, the shoe-cutter, the engrayer, and the ma
chinist, all of whom lead confined lives in an
unwholesome atmosphere, none Of them
reach the average age OF 40. .--..........
The musician blows his breath all out Of
his body at 40. The editor knocks himself
into pi at the same age. & ..... .r.....g.
Then comes trades that are active or in
purer air. The baker lives to the average
age of 43, the butcher to 49, the brickmaker
to AZ, the carpenter to 40, the furnace man
to AZ, the mason to 4S, the stone-cutter to
43, the tanner to 40, the tinsmith to Al, the
weaver to A, the drover to 40, the cook to
As, the inn-keeper to 46, the laborer A, the
domestic servant lfemale) to 43. The tailor
lives to 43, the tailoress to A..
Why should the barber live till so, If not
to show the virtue there is in personal neat
ness and in soap and water
Those who average over half a century
among mechanics, are those who keep their
muscles and lungs in healthful and moderate
exercise, and are not troubled with weighty
cares. The blacksmith hammers till 81, the
cooper till 50, the builder till So, the ship
wright till Sc, the wheelwright till SO. The
miller lives to be whitened with the age Of
81. The ropemaker lengthens the thread Of
life to 81. Merchants, wholesale and retail,
till 50.
Professional men live longer than is gener-
ally supposed. Litigation Kills clients some
times, but seldom lawyers, for they average
S.. Physicians prove their usefulness by
prolonging their own lives to the same
period. Clergymen, who it is to be presumed
enjoy a greater mental serenity than others,
last till S.
Seafaring life, and its adjuncts, seem, in
stead Of dangerous, to be actually conducive
to longevity We have already seen that the
shipwright lives to 56. The sailor averages
40, the caulker SO, the sailmaker So, the
stevedore 81, the ferryman IS, and pilot 81.
A dispensation of Providence that men
may consider incomprehensibIe is that brew
ers and distllers live to the ripe old age Of GA.
Last and longest lived come paupers, 81,
and gentlemen 6S. The only classes that do
nothing for themselves, and live on their
neighbors, outlast all the rest. Why should
they wear out when they are alwaysidle?
