Every Mans House his Castle.

The following is Lord Chatham's brilliant
illustration of The celebrated maxim of En-
gIish law, that "every mans house is his
castle :"
"The poorest man may, 10 his cottage,
bid defiance to oil the forces o. the
crown. 1t may be frail it's root may shake;
the wind may blow through ii; the storm
may enter +; the rain may enlsr-but the
King of England cannot enier; all his
forces dare not Cross the threshold of ins
turned tenement ~
We have no such castles in this Gland of
the free," under ihe best Government the
world has sver Witnessed. Any man,
claiming TO act under military orders, may
seize his papers, steal his goods, and the
man that dare say, wrong has been done,
is branded Copperhead, unworthy the
choice blessings of free Government. This
is the proud lot o. Americans to enjoy
White men have no rights that our Abo-
lition Administration is bound to respect.

A KISS UPON THE SLY.

Let poets sing of Eastern climes,.
And golden sunset hours
OF shady hooks
And bubbIing brooks,
OF moon-lit orange bowers;
Yet still TO me
More sweet shall be
"a Joy no wealth can buy),
A pair of pouting cherry lips
To kiss upon the sly.
Oh, let them build their lofty rhyme
AS cen so e'er they may
But give me still
II so you will
Another word to say
Now hers to all,
Tall, fat or small,
7 vow I'd rather die
Than miss the bliss that's in kiss
When taken ON the sly

SEVENTY FIVE THoUsAND Tons OF HUMAN
Blood A writer in the Jefferson County
Union has made some calculations relaiivs
to the number of men killed thus far in The
war. aud gives the following interesting
ilemo:
There has been snough already slam to
ercircle our State if their dead bodies were
laid in one coninu Gus line.
If they were placed inlcoffins and cord
ed, they would count thirty-nine thousand
cords.
If laid in wall twenty FIVE feet thick
and thirty fee, high, it would be over one
and oue-fourth miles.
If five feet thick and ten feet high the
pile would reach across the Staie.
If piled upon a ten acre lot, they would
be nearly two hundred feet high.
And if laid upon the ground, they would
cover every foot of soil in Jefferson county
SevsnIy-five thousand tons of human
blood have been spilled on Dixie soil
enough 10 turn every spindle in Lowell,
and if the tears we're added 10 the food il
would turn the machinery of the continent !;
and The unavailing sighs would fill every
ocean sail.
The one half has not yet been told. The
millions of wounded and MANNED for lie
must be taken into account in summing up
the grand :otsl OF evils incideni TO this
bloody fanatica war.

the cap. As it looked black and smashed,
she concluded it must have discharged pre-
vionsiy. She then pulled the cap and
threw it away, letting the hammer fall on
the tube unfortunately, the percussion
powder remained and discharged the gun.
The ball passed through the head OF her

Important Discovery --sugar from Corn
If the following announeem emf by
the Buffalo Commercial proves all It
prrports TO be, then indeed may ev-
cry man, woman aud child in the land
smack their lips. Cheap sugar and
plenty of it will become the order OF
the day, consummation devoutly to
be wished. The Commercial states
that after n year of lahorious expert.
menting, Prof. Frederick w. Goess-
ling, Il German chemist of Buffalo,
has succeeded in producing an article
equal TO pure cane sugar from corn
The Commercial also states that q
company has just formed, embracing
many Of the wealthiest men in the
city Of New York, and among them
several Of the principal sugar reGncrs
with Il capital ofa million of dollars,
which has purchased Prof. Goess-
ling's patent, paying therefor, TO him
and his associate propritors, the sun
Of 5000, 900. They propose TO entel
at once upon the manufacture Of syr
/ ups and sugar from corn by the new
process, upon n large scale, and tC
introduce its manufacture through
out the country as fast as expcdient
Experiments have already succeeded
in the production orat least three ant
half gallons Of syrup from n bushe
Of corn, and of quality which is pro
nounced by the most critical Judges
TO be equal in every respect to The
best syrups heretofore produced n
the New York refneries from suga
cane. An equivalent amount Of gran
ulated, first quality sugar, 1t is ais,
claimed, can de produced, but W,
understand that for the present tn
company will eonhne its efforts t,
the production orsyrup. Active prep
arations are being made, however, t.
enter upon the extensive manufac
ture OF sugar, and it is expected Cha
the company will Ire prepared to pu
the new staple into the market during
the present winter.
This important discovery will mos
likely mark n new era in the manu-
facture Of sugar. The total produe
ton Of cane sugar throughout tn
world in 1852 was estimated at L,
3O7 800 tons. Of which the Unite,
States produced l05, 900 tons, Tn
/ discovery will tend to absorb the al
most limtless crops Of maze or In
dian corn in the North west, and th
crops Of corn Of the great West th
latter of which alone amounts to on
thousand millions Of bushels in
year. The West will now most like
ly become Il great sugar producin!

Unwise above many is the man who
considers every hour lost which is
not spent in reading, writing, or in
study, and not more rational is she
who thinks every moment Of her time
lost which does not find her sewing
We once heard great man advise
that book of some kind be carried
in the pocket, to be used in case of an
unoccupied moment--such was his
practice. He died early and fatuous
There are women who, after n hard
days work will sit and sew by can
die or gaslight until their eyes are
almost blinded, or until certain pains
about the shoulders come on, which
are almost insupportable, and are only
driven to bed by physical incapacity
to work any longer, The sleep Of
the overworkcd, like that Of those
who do not work at all, is unsatisfy-
/ ing and unrefreshing, both alike wake
up in weariness, sadness, and langor,
with an inevitable result, both dying
prematurcly, Let no one work in
pain or WEAKNESS. When a man is
tired he ought to lie down until he is
fully rested, when, with renovated
strength, the work win be better
done, done the sooner and done
with a self sustained alacrity. The
time taken from seven or eight hours
sleep out OF each twenty four, is
time not gained, but time much more
than lost; we can cheat ourselves but
we cannot cheat nature. A certain
amount Of food is necessary to heal
thy body, but less than that amount
be furnished, decay commences the
very hour, 1t is the same with sleep
lany one who persists in allowing
himself less than nature requires
will only hasten his arrival at the
lmad house or the grave. ~
