never subscribe and pay for the papers they

opinions, we shall continue to do as We please.

A few weeks ago it broke out here like an cpl

Gen. Jachson's Motto.

Think before you act, but when the
time comes for action, stop thinking, "
This is the true doctrine. Many men
fail in life, and go down to the grave with
hopes blasted and prospected happiness
unrealized, because they did not adopt
and act upon this motto.-Nething so
prepares man for action as thought, but
nothing so units man for action as the
want of action. Better by far adopt some
course and persue it energetically, even
though it may not be the best, than to
keep continually thinking without action
''Go ahead" ought to be printed in every
young mans hat, and read until it be-
comes part of his nature, until he car
act upon his own Judgment, and not b'
turned frem his course by every wind o
interested advice. In conclusion WI
would say, "Think before you act, bu
when the time for action comes stop think

Royalty.

Some items concerning the Royal fami-
ly will please American readers. From
late Court intelligence we learn that the
Queen is ssrusticating" at Balmoral, in
Scotland. She affects to be still mourn
ing for her Royal e6hsort, Prince Albert,
who died several years back. Ali the
onerous duties of the Sovereign are now
performed by the Prince OF Wales. Vic
toria, be it known, annually receives, for
doing nothing, 9390, 900 pounds, or near
ly $2,000,00U in American money. Be-
sides this, all her children are salaried at
correspondingly high rates. The Prince
of Wales has lately requested an increase
of G60,000 S30i',000) to his scant annu-
| ity of twice that sum. Verify Great
Britain pays most handsomely for the
luxury of royal family. The infan'
prince, now ten days old, appears likely
to live to claim his share of the public
money. The Court physicians have an
nounced that ''mother and son are doing
perfectly well" whereat there is great re
joicing. Much powder has been wasted
and obsequious resolutions, cut and dried
for the occasion, have been brought fortl
and adopted. Queen Victoria is expected
to go to Germany in August, where ther'
is to be u family meeting, and the inau
guration of Il statue to the late Prince
Albert, for whom, as London high clas
journal said the other day, "she is still
pleased to mourn" This is very macl
like the expression of the lady who sal,
she enjoyed very poor health.

TIHE LIGHT AT HOME.

The light at home, how bright it burns
When evening shades around us fall;
And from the lattice far it CLEANS,
To love, and bless and comfort all.
When wearied with the tolls of day,
And strife for glory, gold or fame,
How sweet to seek the quiet way, '
Where loving lips will lisp our name,
Around the quiet light at home.
When through the dark and stormy night,
The wayward wanderer homeward hies,
How cheering is that twinkling light,
Which through the forest gloom he spiesl
Iii the light at home. He feels
That loving hearts will greet him there,
And softly through his bosom steals
The joy and love that Danish care
Around the light at home.
The light at home! whene'er at last
1t greets the seaman through the storm.
He feels no more the chilling blast,
That beats upon his manly form.
Long years upon the sea have fed,
Since Mary gave her parting kiss;
But the sad tears which she then shed,
Will now be paid with rapturous bliss
Around the light at home.
The light at home! how still and sweet
1t peeps from yonder cottage door
The weary laborer to greet
When the rough tolls of day are Ger!
Sad is the soil that does not know
The blessings that the beams impart,
The cheerful hopes and Joy that flow,
And tighten up the heaviest heart, d
Around the light at home.

A Horrible Fate--A Man Bitten by
IL RatfIesnake.

One of the most horrible deaths posi-.
BILE for man to meet. is awaiting Mr.. Ja-
cob Shuester, farmer near Wauprten, in
this county, who was bitten by rattle-
snake last Saturday. Mr. Shuester was
in the field moving hay, when he came
upon the snake. and it attempted to crawl
away. He cut it into with his scythe,and
as it still gave signs of life. he severed il
again within three inches of its head. 1t
then seemed to be dead, and he stopped
down to examine its mouth. He was ap-
preaching its mouth with his right hand,
when the snake sprang aud fastened itself
to his right thumb. He sprang to his feet,
and after several seconds, succeeded in
looseuing its hold and hinging it to the
ground. The thumb panied him terribly,
and he ran to the house. 1t Immediately
commenced swelling, and his agony iu-
creased. Neighbors were sent for, who
applied remedies of which they had
heard But they did no good, and in ten
minutes Mr.. Sheuster commenced vomit-
| ing blood. All the remedies suggested
| by his neighbors having failed they "doc
tored" him till late Sunday forenoon,
when DR.. Staples, of this city, was sent for.

twenty miles, Sunday evening. He found
Mr.. Sheuster in horrible state of body
and mind. His right arm was swollen to
four times its natural size, and was nearly
black This color had reached his breast,
and was spreading over his system. Be-
low the elbow tho poison had effected the

la -ge bl:sters. which we're filed with
blood. The palm of the sufferers hand,
Though calloused by labor, was puffed out
like sugar loaf, and blood contiDually
flowed from the wounded thumb. His
breath was awfully offensive.
Mr.. Sheustef retains all his senses. Be-
fore he was bitten, he was large we'll

He is now haggard, as white as sheet
