QUEER SQUABBLE.-A queer squabble
took place in a church at Saccarappa n
few Sundays since, between man and a
" maiden lady," Both claimed to own
the same pew, and when the ancient vir-
gin attempted to enter, and the man pre-
vented her, she entered an adjoining slip
and climbed over. Then followed a strife
of tongues and tussle, in which the Ia
dy's clothes were unpleasantly torn, but
the anger Of the irate pair finally cooled
down, and they sat side by side during
the rest of the service.

THE DAvENPoRT BOYS CAUGHT.-
When tho Davenport boys we're at Keno
sha, an enterprising genius of that "burg"
applied mixture of oil and lampblack to
his hair, and then allowing him to be
shut up in the "cugc" along with the
blind "mediums." Presently he felt a
esprit" hand resting on the top of his
head. He requested that the hand might
part his hair as he was accustomed to do
in boyhood. The request was complied
with, and when the box was opened, al
though the boys were securely tied, the
hand of one of them was thoroughly be-
smeared with the oil and lampblack,
showing that whatever the "spirits may
do, they make use of human agencies

WINTER WILL NOT LAST FOREVER.


Winter will not last forever;
Spring will soon come forth again,
And, with flowers Of every color,
Deck the hillside and the plain.
Lambs will soon in the fields be sporting;
Birds re-echo from each tree,
"Winter's gone its days are ended
We are happy-we are freep
Hedge and tree will soon be budding,
Soon with leaves be cover'd DER!
Winter cannot last forever;
Brighter days are yet in store.
Sorrow will not last forever,
Brighter times will come again,
Joy our every grief succeeding,
As the sunshine after rain;
As the snow and ice of winter
Melt at the approach of spring,
So win our cares and trials
Joy, and peace, and comfort bring,
When the heart is sad and dropping,
Think, though you be vexed and sore,
Sorrow cannot last forever;
Brighter days are yet in store

and protect the government, but by out
siders.
1t is stated in the Boston Commercial
Bulletin, MS a notorious fact, that honest
New York merchants have entered their
goods at Boston and paid the extra freight
rather than TO submit to the exlortions
practiced at the New York Custom House
where private fees were extorted for the
performance Of the simplest clerical duties,
while dishonest persons all over the coun-
try, engaged in foreign commerce have
brought their imports to New York, be-
cause they knew they could purchase
fraudulent invoices there. No bedaubing
with wordy excavations there. The
right course is the only safe course here.
Let the Augean stable of the New York
Custom House be thoroughly cleaned
out, and something like an approximation
to honesty and decency be inauguratcd
there. No matter who suffers, that is
the only thing to be done, and fit is not
done, the odium of the corruption and
treason there will stick 10 the administra-
ton.

WHILE in prison, after planning his es-
cape, John Morgan wrote to lady friend
in peculiar cipher, which, when read in
the usual manner, contained nothing con-
traband. Acting on the information thus
secretly conveyed, the young lady sent
John some books, in the back of one OF
which she concealed some green-backs,
and wrote her name across the place to
indicate where the money was deposited.
The money thus sent enabled Morgan TO
pay the expense of his escape.

SELMA, ALABAMA.-This place is stu
ated on the Alabama river, about forty
miles due west of Montgomery, and $50
north of Mobile Though considerably
more by the course of the river). II is a
place Of considerable Importance to the
rebels, on account of the extensive foun-
dries and other manufactures which have
been established there, and which have
treblcd its population since the commence
ment of the war. Its manufactures are
said to greatly exceed, in number and
magnitude, any supposition that has been
formed Of them by the people of the
North. The city is admirably situated
for manufacturing place, beds Of superi.
or iron ore and Of coal being found 10
its vicinity.

PRoFITs OF STEAMBoATiNG.--W When
Correlius Vanderbilt was young man,
his mother gave him $50 of her savings
TO buy n small sail boat, and he engaged
in the business of transporting market
gardening, from Staten Island to New
York City. When the wind was not ia
vorablc, he would work his way over the
shoals by pushing the boat along by
poles, putting his own shoulder to the
pole, and was very sure TO get his freight
into market in season. This energy al
ways gave him command offull freights,
and he accumulated money. After n
while he began TO build and run steam
boats, and he is now reputed TO be worth
moro than nineteen millions of dollars, af-
ter making the Government present, as
a free gift, of a steamship that cost

MIRAcLEs.-A New York religious
weekly newspaper very justly saysi ave
have seldom seen the argument against
miracles more ceverly answered and re-
torted than it is in the last number of the
ambassador, a universalist newspaper of
this CITY," In speaking of Renan's
Life of Jesus" the writer says:
"Deny miracles to Jesus, strip him, as
M. Renan proposes to do, of everything
superhumau, and Jesus himself becomes
the greatest miracle the world ever saw or
even dreamed of. There is no story in
the bible so utterly incredible as that Je-
sus of Nazareth, born and brought up a
mechanic in Galilee, should, at the age OF
thirty, without learning, without friends
or superhuman aid, have gone out, and
in the space of two or three years have
laid the foundation of q religion which has
superseded all the religions and philoso-
phies then existent, brought in subjection
to itself the most civilized nations OF the
earth, lifted every people up that has re-
ceived it, and is steadily gaining conquests,
century after century, with the unques-
tionable promise that it is yet TO become
universal. There is no account of mira
cles, we say, in all the bible, so utterly in
credible as this story, which M. Renan
has proposed to us as matter of history
in his Life of Jesus In the preseiice oI
such character, all the philosophers and
sages, all the moralis,s and Legislators the
world ever saw, dwindle into insignif.
cance. Looking at Christ in this light
we do not wonder that learned German
theologian said: Jesus himself is mir
acle.' And, acknowledging this miracle
why should we stumble at the miracu
lous works which he performcd!"

We once kept an account for lady
during three miles walk through rather
sandy lanes, who declared herself "half
dead" with frtigue every few minutes;
and we found that she had died exactly
eleven times and half at the end of the
journey, when she swallowed cider and
sandwiches in most vital fashion, con-
sidoring her multiplied state of demise.

CURtosITIEs AT THE PATENT OFFICE.
"A Washington correspondent of the
Pittsburg Gazette SAYS:
"The war has made some additions to
the curosities in the Patent Office. In it
! noticed many of the relics which were
formerly treasured at the Arlington
House, on the opposite side of the river,
now the most conspicuous figure in tho
contraband village, but not long since the
famous residence of George Washington
Gusts and the rebel General Lee. Thoy
inherited the old clothes of The great
American but failed To- receive the man
tie Of his virtues. But even the 'old
traps have at last fallen into the hands
of those who have something OF Washing
tons love for The rights of human ma
ture.' These relics are full of holy asso-
Citations, ind the visitor lirgers over them
with mote interest than he feels in the
vast collections of the strange and the Gu
rious in other parts Of the building.
"Several large glass cases are filled
with the army equipments, table furnl-
ture, clothing, dressing glasses, etc, for
merly in use by George Washington
Among them is set of China presented
TO Mrs. Washington, by Lafayette, and
two candelabra which were the gift of the
gallant Count Rochambeau. We have,
also, the great hall lantern Of Mount Yer
non and great leather portmanteau con
tanning bis treasure chest roll of blan-
kets, comfortable, and other articles
used by Washington in The field. Then
We have his war sword, bis writing case,
the knotted cane willed 10 him by that
knotty old patriot, Ben Franklin, and the
buff vest and breecbes aud blue coat worn
when he resigned his commission. A
beautiful statue Of washington, brought
from Baton Rouge, when our army took
possession there year ago attracts much
attention and seems TO revive the actual
presence of him who was First in war,
first in peace, and first in the hearts OF
his countrymen.'
