LIFE AND DEATH How briei the distance
between life and death Life is but the
vesilbule OF death, and our pilgrimage on
earth is 5ut a journey to the grave. The
pulse that denotes our life slay beats our
death march the blood which circulaies
through our bodies, while il flows with The
tide of lie, floats them onward to deeps Of
death. Oh how closely allied is death to
lite Trees do but grow that they may be
felled. Empires rise and flourish but 10 de.
cav they rise to fall. Death is the black
servant who rides behind the character of
life. Death teacheth throughout this world,
and has stamped all terrestrial things with
the broad arrow OF the grave. But blessed
be God, there is place where death is not
LIES equal following hard its track as eve-
ming shades the SUMS meridian, nor flies
companion like brother sticking fast and
cleavine close. There life reigns alone;
there death knells are never toIled. Bless
ed land above the skies To reach il we
must die; but if alter death, we obtain a
glorious Immortality, then $50 die is gain"

WomAN.-Very intelligent. women we
find by observation are seldom beautiful
The formation OF their features, and partic-
ularly their forehead. is more or less mas
culine. Miss Lander was rather pretty and
feminine in the face, but miss Sedgwick,
Miss Pardue, Miss Leslie, and the late Anna
Marian and Jane Porter, the coRrary.-
One oil the Misses Porter had forehead as
high as that of an intellectual man. We
never knew of very talented man who was
admired for his personal beauty. Pope was
awful ugly DR.. Johnson was no better
Miradeau was the ugliesl man 10 all France,
and yet he, was the greatest favoriie with
the ladies'. Women more frequently prize
men Tor their sterling qualities of the mind,
than men do women. Dr. Johnson chose
woman who bad scarcely any idea above

ture in existance, il we may Judge by the

h THE death WATcH."-The 4" death
watch" (Anobiumstriqtum) is very COM
non-inma,e Of our house Among those
who are unacquainted with the habits of
insects. there is a common superstition that
the strange ticking sound often heard in
old houses is sign Of approaching death.
Tbs noise, however, is caused by a small
beetle, which, during lis boring operations,
rubs the neck anc thorax (chest) together,
by which means this ITO some persons) ter
ribIe omen is Produced fact which, if
more generally known, would save world
Of useless anxiety and nneasiness. la the
larva state these insects do great injury 10
our furniture and the wood work of ol6
houses, which they gnaw continually
When captured, this beetle feigns death,
and with the siranges, pertinacIly, prefer
ring, it said, certain death, under a slow
FIRE, rather than to beiray the least sign of
vitality. The death watch" on account
OF It's retired habits, minute size, and dark
color, is very seldom seen; and, as there
are ofisn several individuals working al the
same time al their boring operations. the
sound seems to proceeds simultaneously
from opposite directions, thus adding to the
superstiions terror wherewiih, by some
persons, II is regarded. The greatest evil,
however, to be dreaded from ii is the injury
il does through its excavations in the wood
work of our houses. II is not larger than a
good sized flea. -l -

with my own kind, soon abandoned the
pleasure and persuaded Jennie to stroll off
into The moonlight with me. We found the
grove charming place, full of picturesque
lille corners and rustic seats; and great
rocks Ieaning out over the river. On one

Indians State Sunday School Convention,
to be held II iMdianspolis, Nay SOth,
3lst and June LIST, 1865.
At meeting Of the Superintendent
and friends of the Sunday Schools of
Indianapolis, held at Roberts Chapel on
the evening Of April 18th, 1868, IT was
unanimously resolved to hold a State
Convention in this city ut an early day,
to be composed of delegates from all the
Sabbath Schools in the State, at which
time the undersigned we're appointed an
Executive Committee to select the proper
time, make the announcement, and take
the necessary steps to secure large at
tendance Of the friends Of the cause
Pastors, Superintendent and Teach
crs Of Sunday Schools throughout the
State are cordially invited to attend this
gathering. Let every Sunday School
have one or more delegates to the Con-
vention M
The friends OF the Sabbath School
cause of this and other States are speci
ally invited to be present.
Sabbath Schools are the true fortresses
Of our National strength. The efforts
of Christian teachers in this noble enter
prise does exert an influence calculated
to mould the minds of the young and
form solid basis for moral deveiope
ment.
The youth of our land have learned to
profane the name Of Almighty God, and
vice and incompetence walk aboard at
monday. Nothing but the active zeal
and energy of Christian teachers can ar
rest this tide Of moral desolation. Now
let parents and teachers, without delay,
come to the rescue.
This personal contact and interchange
of Christian sentiment, with the sugges-
ton growing out of the various exercis-
es and reports, will materially elevate
the standard Of Sunday Schools through
out the State, and we may confidently
expect an increase of schools and schol-
ars from such an effort; and thus new
impetus be given 10 the cause.
Some OF the prominent Sunday School
men of our country have been invited
to be present.
Ample provision will De made to en-
terrain all, free Of charge.
Arrangements are being made with the
railroads centering here to return dele
gates free.
The Sabbath School superintendent
of this city are appointed a Committee
of Reception.

The Shortest Route.

Some twelve years ago, Napoleon,
Ind, was celebrated for two things, one
for the carousing propenslties of its citi-
zens, and the other for the great number
Of cross roads in its vicinity. 1t appears
that an eastern collector had stopped at
Dayton to spend the night and get some
information respecting his future course
During the evening he became acquaint-
ed with an old drover, who appeared well
posted as to the geography of the coun-
try, and the collector thought he might
as well inquire in regard to the best
route to different points to which he Was
destined.
II wish to 90 to Greenfield" said the
collector, ''now which is the shortest
way?"
"Well SIR" said the drover, i'you had
better go to Napoleon, and take the road
leading nearly north.
The traveller noted it down.
..Well sir. if I wish to go to Edin-
burg?'
"Then go to Napoleon and take the
roadiwest."
"Well il I wisfto GO to Vernon ?"
$50 to Napoleon and take the road
southwest"
"Or to indianapolis p added the col
lector, cycling the drover closely and
he was imposed on.
go to Napoleon and take the road
northwest"
The collector looked at his note book
every direction had Napoleon on it; he
began to feel his mettle rise, and he turn
ed once more TO the drover with
Suppose sir, l wanted to go to his
Satanic majesty? p
The drover never smiled, bat scratch
ed his head, and after a moments hesita-
ton said:
We'll, my dear sir, I don't know of
any shorter road you could take than to
go to Napoleon"
