Once on time, not long ago, not so far from
Millersburg as it might be, good hearted man
and his long-tongued, style-talking wife, attend
ed a social party. Almost every three minutes
his wife would check her husband thus
Nov, William, don't talk so loud p q
"Come, William, don't lean back in the chair
that way"
"Now William, don't get noisy over there"
"Say, William, let the girls alone and sit by
me.Y
At last forbearance ceased to be virtue, and
the husband who was really pitied by all in the
ROOM arose and said:
81 beg pardon of the company but as my wife
insists on being boss all the time, it is right she
should have these"
And he deliberately took off his pants, handed
them to her, and sat down IN his boots and draw
ers. .r
The company was astonished; the woman
burst into tears. The happy couple soon went
home, but neither Of them wore pants.
How the affair was settled we cannot tell, but'
the last time we saw William he had the pants
on. We are inclined to think she will not again
boss in company in hurry.

SNeUIAR.-It is said that the rose Of Flori-
da, the most beautiful of flowers, emts no fra
grance; the bird Of Paradise, the most beauti-
full of birds, gives no songs the cypress of
Greece, the finest of all trees, yields no fruit;
dandies, the shiniest Of men, have no sense and
ballroom bellies, the loYeliest creatures in the
world, are often dtto-only a little more So.

How bravely man can walk the earth, bear
the heaviest burdens, perform the severest du-
ties, and look all men in the face, if he only bears
in his breast a clear conscience, void Of offense
toward God or man. There is no spring, no
spur, no inspiration like this. To feel that we
have omitted no task, and left no obligation un-
discharged, this fills the heart with satisfaction,
and the immortal soul with strength.

A SAD AND EXTENSIVE BEREAvEMEET.-Died
in Salt lake City, August l7th Bishop Ephraim
Kimball Blair, in the 5lst year of his age. He
was man whose mind was richly stored with
the good things of the Kingdom of God, and was
ever ready and energetic in carrying out the
measures of his superiOrs in the Priesthood. He
was brilliant in thought and quick to perceive
the revelation and whisperngs of the Holy
Spirit, He leaves nine wives and forty-three
small children 20 mourn his untimely end. Yer

VERY curious mode of trying the title to
land is practiced in Hindoostan. Two holes are
dug in the disputed spot, in each of which the
lawyers on either side put one of their legs, and
there remain until one of them is tired, or com
plains of being stung by insects-in which case
his client is defeated.

Alas Poor ANNA.-Concerning Miss Anna
Dickinson, the female who run all Yankeedom
crazy with delight several months since, by her
abuse of General Mcclellan, the Cincinnati Com
mercial says:
"Miss Dickinson, the female who was inspired
a short time since, returned to Washington the
other day, and made another speech. But she
was "played out" Nobody but few of the
long haired went to hear her. In point of fact
there was more voice than reason about Miss
Anna, and it would be well if she were to re-
sumo her situation in the Philadelphia Mint
She is not so much inspired as she was little
while ago.p

The Iron Mountain in Missouri is exactly in
the geographical center of the United States
1t is an almost solid mass of specular iron ore
rising from aleyel plain two hundred and sixty
feet Its base covers five hundred acres The
ore contains sGY-seyen per cent of iron and
yields one ton of pig for two tons of ore. It
costs about fifty cents a ton to quarry; little if
any blasting is requiredj one hundred and ten
bushels of charcoal make ton of iron It is
supposed that the mountain was deposited by
chemical action.

MEN OF THE REvo1UToN.-Gen Green, in his
dispatches, after the battle of Eutaw, says -
Hundreds of men were naked as they were born
Judge Johnson, in his "Lfe of Green" saws :
Posterity will scarcely believe that the loins of
many men who carried death into the enemy S
ranks at Eutaw, were CALLED by their cartouch
boxes, while a fold of rag tuft of moss pro-
tected the shoulder from the same injury from
the musket General Green says, in his letter to
the Secretary of War We have three hundred
men without arms, and more than one thousand
so naked that they can be put duty only in
the most desperate cases. Our difficulties are
so enormous, and our wants so pressing that

Six thousand of such 'active preachers as

SOME LOYAL TALK.-Let us see what the
| ..loyaP party thinks of the Constitution and
the Union We will here quote from some of
their leaders-we have quoted from others, and
will yet occasionally show what they say of the
Union:
"Who in the name of God wants the Cotton
States, or any other States this side of perdi-
ton, to remain in the Union, if slavery is to CON
tinue - Bingham of Ohio
'AIark the man who pirates about the inviola-
bilty Of the Constitution. He is a trsitor-
Sumner of Massachusetts,
"This talk of restoring the Union as it was,
under the Constitution as it is, is one of the alb
surdites which have heard repeated until l
have become about sick of it. The Union can
never be restored as it was There are many
things which render such an event impossible
This Union never shall, with my consefL be re-
stored under the Constitution as it is, slavery to
be protected by y'it.1-L Stevens cf Penn,
II trust in God never to see this war end with
the Constitution as it is and the Union as it was
Slavery must perish, or we will have fought in
vain Conway of Kansas.
"The Democracy say they want the Union as
it was, but God forbid that the Union shall be
restored as it was. The true Union men Of the
country will not have it restored as it was God
forbid that the Union shall be restored until
that which the cause of the rebellion be de-
stroyed. Blow after blow has been struck on its
'front.' and blow shall follow blow until slavery
shall be wiped out, and freedom shall pervade

ONCE upon Time, there dwelt in Che village

One day being in the tavern-a fayorite re-

DEcLvITY OF RIvERs.-A very slight decliv-
ity sufices to give the running motion to water
Three inches per mile in a smooth, straight
channel gives a velocity of about three miles
per hour The Ganges, which gathers the wa
ters of the Himmalaya mountains, the highest
in the world, is. at 1900 miles from its mouth,
only about 500 feet above the level OF the sea,
and to fall these 500 feet in its long course, the
water requires more than a month.
The great river Majdalena, in South America,
running for 1000 miles between two ridges of
the Andes, falls only 500 feet in all that dis
tance. Above the commencement of the one
thousand miles, it is seen descending in rapids
and cataracts from the mountains. The gigantic
Rio della Plata has so gentle descent to the
ocean, that in Paraguay 1000 miles from its
mouth, large ships are seen which have sailed
against the current all the way by the force of
the wind alone, that is to say, which on the
beautifully inclined plane of the stream, have
been gradually lifted by the soft south breezes
and even against the current, to an elevation
greater than that Of our loftiest spires.

The Mail Agent, George W. Millen,
from Port Huron, was found to be jams

the deVouring flames epgulphed him In

culean efforts to extricate his crushed and
bleeding limb from its fearful embrace
were used, but the rapidly spreading
flames drove the laborerS from their work,
aud they were forced to witness him per-
ish before their eyes, his heart-rending
shrieks piercing their ears for help,
until stifled amid the smoke and flames
of the devouring element. God of heav-
