Eapcleon's Reply,

The answer from the French Govern
ment to Mr.. Seward may be considered
as settling entirely the controversy between
the two Governments. France had the
settled purpose to withdrawn her troops.
A longtime before receiving the las; note
from Secretary Seward, Napoleon ordered
the abandonment of Mexico by French
troops, regardless Of Maximilian. The
French Government states again what was
its own purpose, and reafIirms that the
evacuation will be complete as soon as
possible.

" Then the Band will Play."

This latest popular slang is said to
have originated at political meeting in
this District, during the late canvass A
grand meeting, with torch lights, music,
sparencies, &c, was in progress, and
the orator was enleay oring to work up
the feelings of his aud en- e TO the voting
point; be had pict lred 4 sad condition Of
public affair, and ''piled up the agony"
to frightfl climax, rounding off with
the excl ,mafiol, " What then, my coun-
trymen" He paused to give effect to
his eloqrence when, amid profound ST.
lence, from the verge of the crowd came
up a thin. piping voice, clear and dis
tinct: " Why, then, the band vW play"
The crowd roare1, AMI the orator took up
another point of his speech.-Nonmouth
On. j. Dem.
The Newark Journal copies the above,
and adds the following good ones:"
During the recent canvass in this Dis
trict our candidate, Gilschrist, in his usu
ally eloquent style, was just winding up
his speech with beautiful allusion to
the Queen of Palmyra, when, happe ming
to pause, like the orator alluded to above,
dU Olu - veteran DemOcTdI- WuO hdu uO
respect for the defunct Queen, shouted
out, Z" How about Parson Brownlow ~
OF course, the point was killed, although
the speaker had the good sense to make a
fitting peroration without any further al
lusion to the Queen.
Possibly better joke than this occur
red at meeting in Cape May, when the
orator, endeavoring to impress his hear
ers with the horrors Of conscription, was
describing the ruthless manner in which
the Provost's deputies conducted the
draft In a methodistical tone he talked
about the agony of "your old father and
your old mother" and then being stuck
for the want of any more lugubrious
phrase, repeated "your old father and
your old mother" and then paused. The
silence that ensued was broken by u
drunken friend at the door, who, to help
the orator It, exclaimed, and your old
sister and your old brother"-of course,
producing uproarious laughter, aud kill
ing the speech.

Somewhere near Camden lives a man
who is not smart enough for Jersey. Last
fall, he wanted to leave home for month
er two, but had 10 one to take charge of
his pig; so lie proposed to a neighbor that
he should take the animal home and fat
ten it, and then keep one half when it
was time to kill. The bargain was agreed
to- The pig was transferred to Smith S
pen, and off went our friend on his jour
ney.
He was gone only week, and the day
Of his retnrn home walked over to see his
pig. He found Mr. Smith with shirt
sleeves rolled up, hard at work dressing
a hog . Hullo," cried our friend, and a
slight suspicion entered his head that he
had been sold; "What have you been
kiHng?"
"Our pig" answered Smith as cool as
an iceberg.
"Our pig?" faltered the victim.
Yes; | thought it fat enough to kill /;
but you needn't be alarmed, you will get
your half
Our friend returned home sadder and
wiser man. He paid about fifteen dollars
for weeks board for his pig.

A Venerable Greenh0rn.

An old gentleman from a suburban vii
lage was on the cars, on route to Roches-
ter, one day last week, and fell in with a
very clever appearing young gentleman,
with whom he entered into conversation
The old gent asked his new acquaintance
+" if he knew his son in the city.
"Oh, yes, he knew his son; who did
MT? he was one of the incest men in town;
everybody knew his son; he was an init
mate friend"
Shortly after, on the strength of know
ing his son, the stranger borrowed fifty
dollars of the old gent, "to hand his son
when ho sees him" The old gentleman
knows his new friend fifty dollars worth.

The Early Home of Jesus.

Four miles south of the strong Greek
city of Sephoris, hidden away among gen.
tie hills, then covered from the base to
the crown with vineyards and 6g trees.
laid natural nest or basin of rich red
and white earth, star-like in shape, but a
mile In width and wondrously fertile
Along the sacred and ehalky slope of the
highest of these hills spread small and
lovely village, which, in land where ev-
cry stone seemed to have a story, is remark
able as having had no public history, and
no distinguished name. No great road
led up to this sunny nook. No traffic
came into it; no legions marched through
1T. Trade, war, adventure, pleasure,
pomp; passed through it, flowing from
west to east, from east to west, along the
Roman road. But the meadows were
aglow with wheat and barley. Near the
low ground ran belt of gardens, fenced
with stones, in which myriads of green
figs, red ponegranates and golden ctrons
ripeft'd In the summer sun. High up
the slopes, which were lined and planted
like the Rhine at Bingen, hung vintages
of purple grapes. In the plain, among
the corn and beneath the mulberry trees
and figs shone daisies, poppies, tulips, H.
lies anemones, endless in their profusion.
brilliant in their dyes.
Low down on the hillside spraug we'll
of water, bubbling, plentiful aud sweet,
and above this fountain of life, in long
street struggling from the fountain to the
synagogue, rose the homestead of many
shepherds, craftsmen and vinedressers.-
1t was lovely and humble place, of
which no ruler, no historian of Israel had
ever yet taken notice. No Rachael had
been met aud kissed uto love ct this we'll;
no Ruth had gathered up the sheaves of
barley in yon fields; no town had been
built for observation on this height; no
camp had been pitched for battle in that
vale. That one who would become dear
er to the fancies of men than either Ruth
or Rachael, then walked through these
fields, drew water at this spring, passed
up and down the lanes of this hamlet, no
sneer then could have surmised The
place was more than obscure.
The Arab may have pitched his black
tent by the well, the magistrate of Sc
phoris must have known the village, but
the hamlet was never mentioned by the
Jewish scribes. La the Bible, in the
Talmud, in the writing of Josephus, we
search in vain for any record of this sa
cred place. Like its happy neighbors,
Main and Endor, it was the abode of hus
bandmen and oildressers, whose lives
were spent in the synagogue aud the OIL
i've grove, away FROM the bright Greek
cities aud the busy Roman roads No
doubt it had once been possessed of eth
er an Arabor Hebrew name, but we do
not know the name except in its Hellenic
form. The Greeks called the town Naz-
aret or Nazareth : Tie Holy Land, By

Jacks Prayer Answered.

Once upon time there resided in
Peebleshire, Scotland, halfwitted sort
of a man who had notion that he was
rather religious, and who was in the habit
of saying his prayers in a field behind a
turf f-dyke. One day this individual was
followed to his retirement by some evil
disposed persons, who, screening them
selves on the opposite side, prepared to
listen to what he should say. Jack com
menced his devotions, and amongst other
things, expressed his conviction that he
was a very great sinner, and that even
were the turf-dyke at that moment to fall
upon him, it would be no more than he
deserved. No sooner had he said this
when the persons on the opposite side
pushed the dyke over upon him. Scram.
bling out from amongst the debris, Jack
was heard saying, "Hech, sir it'san awfu'
world this; body cannot say think in
a joke but it's ta'en in earnest. ."-Edn-

Voices---What Thew Indicate.

There are light, quick, surface voices
that involuntarily seem to utter the slang
81 won't do to tie to-" The,man's word,
may assure you of his strength of purpose
and reliability, yet the tone coutradicts
his speech.
Then there are low, deep, strong. voices,
where the words seem ground out, Sas if
the man owed humanity grudge, and
meant to pay it some day. The mans op-
ponents may well tremble, and his friend
may trust his strength of purpose and
ability to act.
There is the coarse, boisterous, dicta-
torial tone, invariable adopted by vulgar
persons, who have not sufficient cultiva-
tion to understand their own iusigni6-
cance.S
There is the incredulous tone, that is
full of a covert sneer, or a secret "You
cant dupe me" intonation.
There is the whining, beseeching voice,
that says "sycophant" as plainly as if it
uttered the word 1t cajoles and flutters
you-its words, ~ love you; L admire
you; you are every thing you should be-"
Then and there is the tender, musical,
compassionate voice, that sometimes goes
with sharp features, Gas they indicate
merely intensity of feelng,) and some
times with blunt features, but always with
genuine benevolence.
fyou are full of afFectation and pre-
tence your voice proclams it.
If you are full of honesty and strength
of purpose your voice proclaims it.
If you are cold, and calm, AMI firm,
and consistent, or fckle, and foolish and
deceptive, your voice will be equally truth
telling.
You cannot wear a mask without its
being known that you are wearing one.
You cannot change your voice from a
natural to an unnatural tone without its
being known that you are doing so.

Heavy Shoes for Ladies.

Winter is coming, aud we desire to saw
a word or two to our lady readers about
clothing the feet.
When the celebrated physician, Abcr.
nethy, died, report said that, besides a
Will OF some interest to his heirs iu Pc
cuniary point of view, there was found
among his effects sealed envelope, said
to contain the secret of his success in the
healing art, and also rule of living, the
following of (which would insure longevity.
A large price was paid for the sealed
envelope. 1t was found to contain only
these words =" To insure continued
health and. ripe old age. keep the head
cool, the system open, and the feet warm"
Dry feet are warm feet, generally, if
the system is healthy. To keep the sys.
tenn healthy the circulation must be good.
The circulation is not good without exer-
else, and exercise can only be really val.
liable when walking Riding in car
riage is no exercise at all; it is merely
inhaling the air. This is very well as far
1t goes, but the lungs are not in full play
without the individual is walking. Horse
back exercise is very good, and is an i'm
provement on carrige riding, but it is not
the kind of healthcreating play of the
mucles nature demands 1t is action =
action of the entire body = and walking
only will procure it.
Now, the ladies of Europe, particu larly
those of England, understand this thing.
They walk miles per day, and if any of
our pale beauties desire to know how the
English ladies keep up their fne color,
clear complexion, and superb busts, we
tell them it is by out door exercise; walk,
ing in the open air; filing the lungs with
pure oxygen by rapid movement on a
sharp October day, when the sun shines
brightly and the clear blue sky is above.
This is the secret Of the rich blood of the
English women, and their almost univer-
sally fne looks and matronly beauty of
fifty, when at that age American women
are pale, sallow, and wrinkled
10 njoy a walk thick solcs are needed.
Stout, well fitted calf-skin, high CATERS,
neatly laced, will always ''set off, pretty
foot and improve homely one To guard
that sensitive portion of the human frame
(for the sole of the feet is keenly seusi-
tive to the changes from heat to cold, or
dryness to dampness. the boot sole should
be thick, and as we'll made as human in
geuuity can do it, Then, even in moist
weather, or in rain storm, the foot can
be protected that insured, all is we'll with
the body.
