FUN AT HoME.-Don't be afraid of
little fun at home, good people
Don't shut up your house lest the sun
should fade your carpets, also your
heart, lest some hearty laugh shake
down some of the musty old cobwebs
there. Ifyou want to ruin yoursons,
let them think that all mirth and social
enjoyment must be left on the threshold
without, when they come home
When once home is regarded as only
place to eat, drink and sleep in, the
work begins that ends in gambling
houses and reckless dissipation
Young people must have fun and re-
laxntion somewhere, if they do not
find it at their own hearthstones il
will be sought at other and perhaps
less profitable places. Therefore lei
the fire burn brightly at night, and
make the homestead delightful with
all those little arts which parents SO
perfectly understand. Don't repress
the buoyant spirits Of your children
half an hour Of merriment around the
lamp and freight of a home, blots
out the remembrance of many a care
and annoyance during the day. The
best safeguard they can take with
them into the world, is the unseen in.
fuence of q bright little domestic fire.

EucuRED.-An exciting affair, COM
bining the tragical, comic, comical and
matrimonial, took place in the village
of Warren, ILL.,, on the lst. A young
man named Rollins was in love with
Miss Tuttle, daughter Of Mr.. Tuttle,
grocery merchant in Warren. Father
forbid Rollins the house. Mrs L.
favored the suitor; father shut up
mother and daughter for two days. -
Rollins eventually got lady friend
to hand letter to Miss Il. Father
overheard conversation, rushed in,
and struck his daughter with his fist.
Lady friend interposed, when out
ragged parient struck lady friend over
the eye with chisel. Lady's friend
had father arrested for assault and
battery. First witness for prosecution
was Miss Tuttle. Her examination
over, she left the court and her father,
and stepped into carriage in waiting
where Rollins joined her, and the
twain behind fast horses, we're soon
flying across prairies to Robinson's
Just over the Wisconsin line. The
Judge not at home, so the party
turned back to Warren, still SINGLE -
Meantime father Tuttle missed his
daughter, got fast team and started
in pursuit. When about two miles
from town he met the truant daughter
and her lover, when the driver of the
team yelled out at the top of his voice,
"Well, old fellow, we have euchred
you this time--your daughter has
been married for the last half hour
so there's no use in your troubling
yourself further about IT," Not doubt
ing the truth of tho story, Tuttle
logged back to town, rejecting upon
his i'll luck in court where he had
been fined $40 and costs, and still
worse luck in attempting TO defeat the
plans of Rollins and his daughter
The young folks hurried to town, pro-
cured Clergyman, and before the
enraged parient had arrived home,
were united in tho bonds of rhatrimony

A RECEIPT FOR HApPISEss.--It is
simple, when you rise in the morning
form a resolution to make the day a
happy one to fellow creature. 1t is
easy done-a left-off garment to the
man that needs it; kind word to the
sorrowful; an encouraging expression
to the striving--trihes in themselves
light as air-will do it at least for
twenty-four hours; and if you are
young, depend upon it, it will tell
when you are old and If you are old
rest assured it will send you gently
and happily down the stream of time
to eternity. Look at the result =
You send one person-only one, hap
PLY through the day that is, three
hundred and sixty-five in the course
of the year--and supposipg you live
forty years only, after you commence
this course, you have made fourteen
thousand six hundred human beings
happy, at all events fora time.iA Now,
worthy reader, is this not simple; and
is it not worth accomplishing2 We
do not often indulge in a moral dose
but this is so small a pill that one
needs no red ourraht jelly to disguise
its flavor, and it requires to be taken
but once day, that we feel warranted
in prescribing it. 1t is most excellent
for digestion, and producer fpleas-

LoNeEvIrY IN THE UNITED SrArfs. -
In 1860 there were in the United
States, one thousand two hundrd per-
sons living in the Republic over one
hundred years old. OF these six hum
drod and eighty-eight were black,
four hundred and forty white, forty
six mullato, and twenty-six Indian
Thus it seems that the, negro race ex-
hibits the greatest number of instances
ofextreme longevity-more than treb-
BILE that of the white race, considering
the relative number of the two races,
there being twenty-six millions of
whites to four or five millions of
blacks. Of the very aged people, the
females exceed the males in number
in all conditions of life. New York
had fifty-three white inhabitants over
one hundred years of age in 1860, of
whom the Oldest, a female, was one
hundred and twenty years old. Penn
sylvania had thirty-nine; Ohio thirty
seven; Georgia and Tennessee thirty
two each. The oldest white person
IN tbe Rnnnhlic is,, claimed for Sonth

lll" I KSowE'p Yotpp BFAr.- The
Rev. sSoloman Stoddard, of North
ampton,, the ancestor of all the Stod-
dards--and a troop they are of wor-
thy sons of a worthy sire-had a
black boy in his employ, who was,
like most black boys, full Of fun and
mischief and up to joke no matter
at whose expense. He went with the
parsons horse every morning to drive
the cowst to pasture. 1t was piece
of table land some little distance from
the village; and here, out of sight
the neighbors' boys were wont TO meet
and "race horses" every Sunday morn
ing. Parson Stoddard heard of it,
and resolved to catch them at il and
put an end to the sport. Next Sum
day morning he told Bill he would
ride the mare to pasture with the
cows, and he (BilD might stay at
home. Bill knew what was in the
wind, and taking q short cut across
lots was up to- the pasture away ahead
of the parson. The boys were there
waiting for Bill and his masters
mare. He told the boys to be ready,
and as soon as the old gentleman ar
rived to give the word "Go" Bill
hid himself, at the other end of the
field, where the race always ended
The parson came jogging along up,
and the boys sat deInurely on their
steeds as if waiting for y.tservice to
begin" But as the good old mare
rode into line they cried "Go " and
away went the mare with the reverend
rider sticking fast, like John Gilpin,
but there was no stop to her or him.
Away, head Of all the rest, he went
like the wind and at the end of the
field Bill jumped up from under the
fence, and sung out 81 knowe,d you'd

Reconstructed Republicans.

President johnson seems to have lost sight of
reconstructing the Union in his attempt to recon-
struct the Union party. At all events it would
seem that his efforts in the latter line have been
more successful than in the former. Doolittle,
Randall, Cowan, Norton, Van Wrinkle and a
grist of collectors, assessors and posmasters have
been reconstructed, but where are the recon-
structed Southern leaders? We doubt if the Presi-
dent has reconstructed as many Southerners as
Northerners, even counting in the pardons.
Perhaps this is the course by which the Presi
dent intends to make treason and traitors odious.
The verdict of the people this fall will stamp the
Randall .Cowan-Judas party with the brand of a
nations condemnation, and the nations of the
world will see how hateful in the eyes of free
people is the betrayal of their trust. What we
have won by the bullet we surely shall not lose
by the ballot, and the men who propose this
treachery must sleep in common grave with
their drawer brother traitors.
The Senators and expectant Office holders who
have undertaken to reconstruct the party of Lin
coin and the soldiers, have huge job on hand ;
and if they but knew it, they are running great
risk. That party is the party of the people, and
they will never forgive any attempt at its destruc-
ton. We venture to predict that an office gain
ed in 1866 by deserving the party and the prin-
ciples which carried US through the great war,
will be the last which its holder will ever en-
joy through the sufrages of his fellow citizens in
this land.
