Most of the unmarried ladies enjoy a
pleasant delusion. They seem to think
that men have a mania for getting under
beds And accordingly few Of them re-
tire for the night without first going
through the ceremony of looking there.
We have never known of but one instance
in which the search was rewarded by sue
cess. The discovery was ammo unced by a
little scream of delight and the lucky lady
was congratulated by her copp with
the remark "WeA, Jane, am glad you
have found him, for to my cert ain knowl
edge you have been looking for him toA
the last twenty years, it is little sim
gular that men never look under beds TO
see if they can find woman there.

SUICIDE OF FATHER AND SON.-David
Adams and his son, a lad of eighteen
were indicted for assault and battery at
the recent term of the Court Of Common
Pleas of Wood county, Ohio. After the
home, went to a neighboring woods, and
a neighbor accidentally passing, saw them
suspended to a tree, cut the bodies down,
and after much effort brought the boy to
life. The father was dead. The arrest
and indictment had so preyed upon their
minds that they resolved upon suicide.

WHAT WoRKMEN MAY BEcoME.-It is
not given to all to be masters Of song, like
Burns, of art like PaIlssy OF Gibson of
engineering skill, like Stephenson; of
critical acumen, like Ferguson or the elder
Herschel; yet these at first were all poor
or working men, who gained their educa-
ton by their own efort-who did battle
with pinchng poverty, lack of educational
means, prejudice of class, and all those IL
ons which stand in the way of men of
weaker mold.
All cannot be field marshals in the army
of lite, but somewhere lower yet very hon
orabIe grades have been attained by men
once in the RAJ Ks, who while never for
moment despisiny the labor for which they
gained honest aread, were disposed to con-
slider that working, eating and sleeping
are all that is worth living for. Their daily
labor, honestly and intelligently performed
they felt themselves to be free citizens Of
the empire Of thought in which true men
take rank according to what they essen
italy are quite independently of the con
ditinns of their life,
" ucU sun SlliIcS IL SlilHCS loI all
lord and laborer and the precious instincts
which make men believe in good and beau.
tiful things treasure up and nourish the
suggestions of universal nature, and
cultivate the TALENTS intrusted to their care,
are bestowed as impartially as the sun
shine. Look into my biographical die
tionary, and you will see how little the
cir, umstances of early life have been able
to impede the careers of really great men.
Real mental energy soon masters him, and
makes them each svbservlent to its will.

Those who took part III the battle usually

decided to have it blown up and removed.
At meeting on Thursday evening last,
held in this city, on moion of the Com
missoners from West Virginia, seconded
by New York, the order to destroy the
rock was rescinded that it should remain.

HI<Doo Loom Nothing can be more
rude, or IN appearance, less calculated Tor
delicate manufacture, than the loom Of the
Hindoo weaver, which he sets up in the
mor.ing under a tree, before his door, and
takes down at sunset. 1t consists merely
of two rollers, resting on four stakes driven
into the ground, and sticks which cross the
warp. These are supported at eac'i end,
the one cross tiers to the tree, under the
shade of which the lo"m is erected; and
the other by two cords fastened to the foot
of the weaver !; thus enaole him to sepa-
rate the threads of the warp. for the pur.
pose of crossing it with the wool.
For the greater convenience, he digs q
hole in the ground to put his legs in. He
uses piece of wood or stick, or almost
anything that comes TO hand, for shuttle
and yet with such rude instruments al
these, the Hindoo weaver produces stuff sc
fine, that when spread ON the grass, they
Intercept none of its colors.

SALT Your CHIMNEYs.---Tn building a
chimney, put quantity of salt into the
mortar with which the intercourses of brick
are to be laid. The ,ffect will be that there
will never be any accumulation of SCOT in
that chimney. The philosophy is thus sta.
ted: The salt in the portion of mortar
which is exposed, absorbs moisture every
damp day. The SCOT thus becoming damp
falls down the fire place. Our readers
should remember or preserve this little
piece of valuable information.
