On the last day of the adjourned ses-
sion Of The late General Assembly, a resO-

our readers may have a good conception
of these works of art, which are equal IN
execution TO a famous Waterloo medal,
we give below a brief description OF
them.
No. l. For the honorably discharged
soldier, the design is a bronze medal rep
resenting Ohio personifed, crowning her
soldiers with laurel wreaths. Each arm
of the service is designated, that is, cav
airy, artillery and infantry, also one off,

ant by monogram U. s., from the scroll
bearing the words "HOnOrably Discharg-
ed" and supporting buckeye and laurel
symbols of Ohio and glory.
No. 2. For officers and soldiers who
have been killed in battle. The angel OF
death passing over the battlefield bearing
the inverted torch, (emblem of death

has resulted from battle.
No. 8. There are three designs, either
of which is appropriate. One Is dying
soldier being carried from the field; in
the panel beneath the figures, is a sword
crossed by a branch of cypress-symbols
of mourning and battle. The other rep
resents Ohio bearing wreath of immor-
telle to the death-bed of soldier, his ae-
coutrements showing him to be just from
the field in the panel underneath, ''the
broken sword"
No. 1. For officers and soldiers who
have died from disease contracted in the
service. This represents Ohio paying her
last tribute to her departed soldiers who

Now W was a great practical joker. On
one occasion Joe came into WIS. saloon,
and rather early in the morning got very
intoxicated, and finally fell asleep in his
chair. Joe was very near sighted, and
always wore specks. After he had slept
some time, W. took off his specks, black

the lamps, and awoke joe, telling him
that it was about twelve o'clock at night,
and he wanted to shut up. Joe started,
and remarked that he had slept some
time.
w. then said:
Joe, it is very dark, and if you will
bring it back again, l will lend you a

ssRnN Om.2

For the first five years of my profess
sionaI life" once said a gentleman to US,
Il mad to row against the wind, and
stream and tide" And what did you
do?" was our question. d" Do" replied
he. do? why ! rowed on, to be sure. p
And so he did row on, and to a good pur-
pose too. until he came to open sea, took
favorable breeze, and brought his voyage
to a most successful termination, leaving
behind him q most euviable reputation
for wisdom, and impressing the mark OF
his strong mind and excellent character
deep and clear on the community IN
which he lived and obtained an immOr-
talitv worth more than a mOnarch's crown
in the memory of thousands. His remark
deserves to be remembered as a motto
The great business of all is to ''rOW on"
with unflinching courage and steady per-
severance. All trades and professions
have their difficulties, and almost every
individual meets with discOuragements'
The only way, therefore, to go ahead IS to
.srov on" Decision of character, deter
mination of will, the resolution to press
on. when sure we are on the right track
or in pursuit of a good and honorable end,
this is the secret of living so as to come
out at last safe and sound.

The Best Way.

When the honeymoon passes away,
setting behind dull mountains, or dip
ping silently into the stOrm-sea of life,
the irving hour of married life has come
Between the parties there are no more
illusions. The feverish desire of possess
ion has gone, and all excitement receded.
Then begins, or should, the business
TO adaptation If they find they do
not love each other as they thought
they did, they should double their assid-
uous attention to each other, and be
Jealous of everything which tends IN the
slightest way TO separate them. Life Is
too precious to be thrown away in secret
regrets or open differences. And let me
saw to all those to whom the romance OF
life has fled, and who are discontented in
the slightest degree with their conditions
and relations, begin this reconciliation
at once.
Renew the attention of earlier days
Draw your hearts close together. Talk
the thing all over. Acknowledge your
faults to each other, and determine that
henceforth you will be all in ali to each
other: and my word for it, you will find
in your relation the sweetest joy earth
has for you. There is no other way for
YOU to do. If you are happy at home,
you must be happy abroad; the man or
woman who has settled down upon the
conviction that he or she is attached for
lie to an uncongenial yoke-fellow, and
there is no way of escape, has lost life;
there is no effort too costly to make which
can restore to its setting upon the bosom
the missing pearl.

..roo Many Irons In the Fire.

There was never a better illustration of
the folly of attempting forty things at
once, than the following from a Detroit
paper:
"A countryman visiting the city recent
ly, attempted to carry two pigs under one
arm, a coop of chickens under the other,
and quart of eggs in his coat-tall pock-
ct. The beginning of his troubles was to
drop one of the diminutive pOrkers,
which shot around the corner like greas-
ed lightning. He laid the coop on the
other to hold it down, and started in pur-
suit, returning victorious the other pig
released by the benevolent action of an
old SOW, who upset the coop and freed
the prisoner. Imprisoning the other IN
like manner, he started in pursuit again,
and in the course of about twenty min
utes loomed up with piggy No. 2 under
his arm. By this time No. l had wiggled
out, and was gone again; whereat he was
so enraged that he sat down on the eggs
uuawares. and smashed them. Espying
she truant in a neighboring street, he
dashed after him, tumbled over gutter
/ plate, and saw his porcine tormentors dis
/ appear under barn with flirt of their
short tails. Vending his way sorrowful-
/ lv back TO the coop, he arrived in time
| to see the last of his biddies disappear
over picket fence in the distance, re-
| leased by the mischief of some malicious
bows that sat on the curbstone and asked
him what he was looking for. When last
seen he was using his best endeavors to
trade the coop for a bottle of lemon pop
making the best of adverse circumstan'
ces."

The Sequel.

Our readers have all heard the story Of
soaping the clergyman's tin horn at a
camp meeting, so that when he went to
call the congregation together he blew
the "soft soap" over his brother clergy
men, and how he exclaimed:
Brethren, l have served the Lord thir-
ty years, and in this time never uttered
profane word, but III be d-d
il | can't whip the man that soaped that
horn"
Our readers, We say, have all heard
this, but have, perhaps, never heard the
sequel as given to US by a gentlemen pres
ent.

on the anxious bench, commenced grOan-
sorrow" The clergyman walked down
and attempted to console him. No con-
solation-he was too great a sinner, he
SAID. No, he was too wicked-there was
no mercy for him.
"Why, what crime have you commit
ted?" said the preacher. Have you
stolen?" .....
"Oh! worse than that.'
"What! have you by violence robbed
female innocence of its virtue?'
Worse than thatl oh. wo5se than

ter.
'Worse than thatn' groaned the smit-
ten sinner.
The excited minister commenced
