SMoruEINe WITH SWEETS Heliog,
abhlus, the Roman Emperor, was
weary OF being but the obediant func-l
tionary Of tho, Senate; he wished TO-
rule and TO have that power which
the Senate claimed rs its own. He
kept his ambitious desires to himself,
however, and showed the Senator'S q
contented and submissiye face. One
day he invited them. to a. splended
feast at his villa; he placed before
them themost costly meats and the
choicest wines. They were sitting
around this Inquiries table, somewhat
excited by drink, when the emperor
arose and said with a peculiar smile,
II must go now to prepare for you, an
agreeable surprise and practical joke
which you will confess has the merit
Of originality" Tie left the room,
and the tipsy Senators did not observe
that the doors were locked and bolted
without. They continued to drink
and sing merily; suddenly glass door
was opened in the ceiling, and the
Heliogabalus was heard saying;
You were never satisfied with your
power and glory; you were always as,
piring after new laure1s; this noble
thirst shall now be satisfied Ai''i
A torrent lof laurel wreathes and
branches now fell upon the Senators,
At first they laughed, and snatched
iestingly at the flying laurels.' The
most exquist flowers were now added

pleaded wildly for mercy. but the in,
exorable stream Of flowers continued
to flow. Higher and higher rose the
walls around them; they could no
longer plead for pity; they were liter
ally buried in laurels. At last moth
ing was to see but a vast bed of roses

In O Coffin--A Ludicrous Scene.

A few mornings since, as some Of
the seventh ward police were retiring
from their beats, they were SURPRISED
atfnding near the station a coffin, in
which. was the body Of Il man prepar-
ed for burial; but from the snoring of
the occupant they were satisfied that
he was not ready for internient. With
tho exception or tic snoring, The body
presented every appearaue of being a
genuine corpse-the Jaws being band
aged, fingers clasped, and the usual
copper cents enclosed in paper on the
eyes. The officers did not take long
to make up their mind what TO do
with the occupant; and they forthwith
aroused him, when the corpse, after
one or two tirnings, arose and sal
upright and after staring around, he
asked, very coolly, Where in the d-l
am IL One of the officers having
laughed until it was impossible TO
laugh moro, volunteered TO explain
and finally the corpse was helped out,
when he took q stand at the foot of
the coffin, and very solemnly remark
ed: "This is what we all have to come
to, but | never thought / would ever
come to it while l lived. One thing
this joke has done for me. I'll never
drink any more, for / know that i
will always think of this scene-Mat
Varnum is q sober man. After these
remarks which were made in man
ner that showed he was earnest, the
officers allowed him to depart.
The joke was explained the next
morning. 1t appears that some citi.
zens attempted to carry him to the
station, and seeing the coffin in yard
near by, (where it had been left by an
officer of the Freedmen's Bureau
some days before,) formed this plan,
thinking that when he awoke he wo'd
make resolution to stop drinking,
and it is said that thus far the victim
of this practical joke, gives all bar
rooms a wide ~borth. = n-rT~ y

Rich Mems SoIia.

Henry Ward Beecher, in a sermon
delivered at Plymouth Church, last
Sunday evening, presented the follow
ing picture of rich mems sons. 70
Men seem ashamed of labor, and
often you shall find men have made
themselves respected in labor have
built up a business and amased a
fortune, who turn TO their sons and
say: "You shall never do as 1 did,
You shall lead q different life; you
shall be spared all this" Oh, these
rich mems sons! They aim to lead a
life of elegant leisure; and that is a
life of emasculated idleness and lazi-
ness. Like the polyp that floats use
less and nasty uXon the sea, all Jelly,
all fably, no muscle, no bone---it
shuts and opens, and opens and shuts
and sucks in and squirts out again,
of no earthly accent, influence or use.
Such are these poor fools. Their par
ents toiled and grew strong, built up
their frames Of iron and of bone
but denying all this to their SONS, they
turn them upon the, word homeless,
muscleless, simple grizzle, and soft at
that.-What if you do get your time
reduced to eight hours, and wages in
creased TO So, does that educate you?

~
With a view to complete Endorsement
Of President Jobnson's veto message and
bis position that the Southern States are
in the Union, and therefore entitled I'd
representation, would II not be we'll ofor
the emocrats everywhere, at the coming
April election, TO run unexceptionaBle
candidates for the respective offices, and
tosmake the issue turn on that indorse-
ment ? IF the Democrats shall lore a
vote even in any township, ward or city
at the ensuing electish AveT the election
Of last fall--that is, ifathe Democratic
majority shall be less or the Republican
majority shall be greater--tho Disunion-
lists in Congress will regard it as an in
dorsement Of their Revolutionary course,
and, as a matter of course, as a repudia-
ton of the Presidents policy. Meetings
indorsing the Presidents veto are all well
enough; but if the Democrats shall make
the issue Of his Endorsement boldly at
the April election and shall obtain in
creased majorities in those localities where
they are in the habit of obtaining ma
jorities, and if they shall reduce the Re-
publican majcrities in those localities
where the Republicans are in the habit
Of obtaining majorities, the result will
be most salutary. Nothing could speak
with more potency to the DisunioniSts in
Congress that their courseis disapproved
of by the people. Even should what
might be termed Conservative Republi-
cans succeed under the Iretense Of in
dorsiDg the President, it would not be SO
eficacious. ei..
1t seems to us, that at this time it is
particularly proper that Democrats should
make unusual efforts to carry the April
elections. Indeed, they should make as
much effort, if not more, as at even q
Preside ntial election. There is not much
at stake in the matter Of Office; but in
the matter Of the Endorsement Of the
Presidents policy, the future success Of
the Democratic party is at stake. The
Republican press Of this State. with 4
very general unanimity, declare that the
people sustain Congress and that they
do not sustain the President Whether
or not they speak truly can be determined
at the April election. We hope, there.
fore, the Democrats will take hold of this
matter with spirit and energy, and pre-
vail on all the voters they possibly can tc
unite with them in proaopnciug against
the Disunionists in Congress. If they
shall faithfully do their duty in the mat
ter, the result will be ono that will be
gratifying to Conservatives everywhere
and will strengthen the President to un
faltcringly go right forward in his grea'
work Of paciacation,--Ohio Statesman.
