A Paper in O Family.

We never saw a newspaper that was not
worth greatly more than its cost in family.
1t is to great extent true Of every collection
of written matter, book or newspaper, but more
especially of the latter, for it covers much
greater variety of subjects, and is necessarily
more condensed. 1t is well known fact that
there is no royal road to learning. The brain,
full of knowledge whose activity sends light
over our daily pathway has been acquired by
hard and constant study. Every book and
newspaper whicj, the careful or careless reader
picks up is filled with results of laborious in
vestigatiop Take The single Issue of weekly
paper, 1.-THE Free Press for instance and see in
It's editorials, its financial articles, its reviews,
its mere drudgery Of daily facts, its quips and
quidditics, its philosophy and fun, how much
care and labor must have been bestowed to fur
nish it all with the regularity of ones meal
1t makes no pretensions. 1t is furnished to
every man for fraction of what his ice or any
one of the simple luxuries of hishousehold costs
him, and yet it is teeming with thoughts which
are constantly influencing hisactions, and form
ing the opinions of his children to govern their
after lives. Into the columns of the newspaper
come thematured opinions ofthe greatest think
ers and statesmen of the old world and the new,
and at cost, compared with the value of the
information acquired, utterly insignificant in
amount. No man, no head Of a family espec-
tally who would properly qualify bis children
to pass respectfully, proftably and with salts
faction to themselves through the world, should
ever deny to them the advantages of daily,
or at least, weekly newspaper.

POETICAL.
OVER THE RIVER.

Among the many beautiful poems and eloquent
tributes to that great and good man, SroSEwALI
JACKSON, we have met nothing that pleased us more
than the following little poem, which is from an
English periodical, styled " Once Week." edited
by Charles Dickens The poem was suggested by
the last words of that great hero, which were -
Let us cross over the river and rest under the
shade of the trees"
! Over the river-over the river
There where.th soft-lying shadows invite;
And famed by the South wind, the forest leaves
quiver,
And 'fre-hies dance through the sweet summer
! night.
Soldiers and comrades well cross that broad river,
! Far from the tumult of trumpet and drum,
And the cannon's deep boom, and the fierce squad
! As they reel in their saddles; then come, broth
! ers, come:
Over the river-over the river
Come ere the sun goeth down in the west
Angel forms beckoh ts, sent to deliver
'FThe weary 10 labor to offer him rest"
Over the river, fathomiess river,
! Is the land where no shadow is needed or seen
Where the leaves of the forest trees wither-no,
heFer, :.
And the fruits are all golden, the pastures ali
green.
From the couch where the warrior lay stretched
and dying
| He saw, in vision, that country so fair:
All its streams, its valleys, its mountains outlying
| And the city whose gates are Of pearls rich and
rare.
| Over the river-the dark flowing river,
Death bore the hero, and victor, end saint;
Great in earth's conflicts, greater than ever
When they left him bleeding and faint.
Waiting to cross it-al radiant with glory,
Strong in the faith which is born of pure life;
Beaueathing a name in the records of story
That tell of bold deeds in the patriots strife.

Lawyers Test Oath.

In the Supreme Court Of Appeals, on yester-
day, the argument Of this cause was concluded
by CHARLES j. FAULKNER, Esq, against the
constitutionality of the law of February, 1866.
1t was mastery reply to the argument Of the
Attorney General and the stump speech Of Mr..
Stanton Indeed, a more crushing rejoinder
has been seldom heard in the Court OF last re-
sort. 1t was high-toned, dignifed and courte-
GUS, at the same time to appreciative intelli-
gence, it was very severe, so much so indeed
that its effect was visible in every lineament Of
the countenance of the unfortunate recipient Of
the deserved rebuke, so caustically administer
ed by Mr.. Faulkner. He alluded with crush
ing effect to Mr. Stanton's appeal to the Court
to keep pure the fountains of justice by exclu-
ding from practice such men as the applicants,
when in the same breath the high priest" had
denounced the Supreme Court Of the United
States as the author of corrupt decision
and as having " prostituted itself to party pur-
poses"
We regret that we cannot obtain copy Of
this argument for publication as it is regarded
by all who heard it as one of the ablest exposi-
tibns of the Constitution and the rights and
guarantees afforded by it to the citizen, that has
as yet been uttered against the aggrandizing
and usurping policy of the Legislature of the
past few years. Such arguments should be
read and pondered on by all, and would have
a most happy tendency to call back the popu-
lar mind from the pursuit of party purposes,
to the consideration of the landmarks and
guarantees of the Constitution. A decision by
the Court is expected at an early day Wheel

A Remarkable Case.
A Child born with one arm under pecu-
liar circumstances.

One Of the most remarkable cases that has
ever come under the observation Of our medi-
cal fraternity, has Just transpired at the resi-
dence of a young man named Abriel, who re-
sides on First street, Arhor Hill. Mr.. A. is
returned soldier. He has been home something
less than a year. When became home he was
suffering from minnie ball wound through the
fieshy partof the right arm. 1t became so bad
that the attending physician talked seriously OF
amputation. This worked seriously on
the mind of the young wife (he had but
short time previously got married.l She
cared for and dressed the arm regularly, and
paid every attention to it, not wishing TO see
her husband with only one arm. This was
some eight or nine months ago. Under the
kind care Of his wife, whose whole attention
was absorbed in thought Of one armed hus-
band, the wound got well, and she arm was
saved. Now for the sequel. All this trans
pired eight or nine months ago. The other day
the wife of Mr.. Abriel gave birth to child
who had one we'll developed arm, but the other
was a stump, similar to one which the poor
wife's mind was impressed with at the time the
surgeons were taking off her husbands. Am
putation could not have produced more beau
tiful stump, and what Is more, the scar Of the
bullet-hole, so visible on the fathers arm, was
as visible on the childs arm at the base Of the
stump as if really inflicted by ball. This is
st
the most remarkable case Of "child-nark ="
ever known. II has attracted the attention Of
all the leading physicians and surgeons. The
child is healthy and beautiful one, perfect in
every respect, save the absence Of the arm re-
ferred to.-Albany tN. ~ Knickerbocker.

A Modern Paradise.

Mrs Eloise Hunt, OF Heiner's Run, Clinton
county, Pay writes thus:
"My home has been fos SIX years in little
tocky basin shut in on every side by the Alle-
ghenies, without neighbor, church, or
school, seeing nohuman face for wceks,-sy.
even months sometimes-except those Of my
husband and child. Living thus have como
to love in strange absorbing way oil that ma
ture has thrown around me. Earth with its
varied growth of trees and shrubs, plants and
MOSES, rocks and water, the clouds, blue sky
and stars, everything is beautiful to me; even
the dead leaves, the old decayed trees and bare
rocks are beloved. Think, then, how mex
pressibly dear the living trees and flowers and
moving water.
al have tame trout, six yards from the door,
that leap above the water to catch bits Of meat
from my fngefs. The pheasants mako their
nests in sight of the house, and sometimes tho
male bird is seen drumming on the old hog on
" few rods up the mountain side. have
planted wild flowers round my doors, and in
summer. the hummihg birds 80 through the
open house on their visits to tbehowers. Strana
gers from the world have said:
"'How can you exist in this drcary place J
"Their eyes cannot see as mine; nor can
they hear any OF the pleasant voices hear, and
so | simply tell them what they comprehend:
1T is my necessity Ny place, which is SO
lonely to others, is SO pleasant to me that havo
named it Paradise, and here 1 will teach my son
a love Of truth, purity and beauty"

Interesting and Romantic Reminis-
CenCe.

The Montgomery Mail re-produces the fol-
lowing interesting episode of the illustrious
Virginians in the olden times:
THE grandfather of General Robt. f. Lee
was a rival of General Washington in love az
fair. The object of their affection was the beau-
tiful Miss Grimes, the first love of Washington,
and whom he celebrated as the lowland beau-
ty." Lee was successful and bore of the prize.
The son of this marriage, Light Horse " Har-
ry Lee, was always held in great friendship by
Washington and Irving, in his biography,
suggests that the memory Of his tenderness for
the mother was not without It's influence in
connection with the son.
This friendship contihued between them un-
til the death Of "the father Of his county
Major General Henry Lee was a gallant officer,
the author of Memoirs Of the War in thc
South" Governor Of Virginia in 179l; and
advocate of the Federal Constitution in the Viz
ginia- Convention member Of Congress when
Washington died; appointed by Congress to
deliver the eulogy ON the occasion, and in his
eulogy originated the classic words, First in
war, first in peace, and first in the hearts Of
his Countrymen.'

Turnips.


Science has found singular use for turnips
in the art of dyeing. BY boiling few pieces
of turnip with indigo, in ley, the indigo Is COM
PEELED to surrender all its coloring matter and
come out white, and the liquid blue is ready for
use This is occasioned by thepcctne contains
ed in turnips There is no knowing what
mine of latent usefulness may be contained in
ecommonestsegetable. Every woman knows,
who has seen her clothing washed, with what
difficulty indigo is made to yield, little by little,
its blue dye, in consequence Of its fnsolnbility.
A few bits of turnip, that harmless looking ar
ticlc Of food, completely changes this peculiar
ity of indigo, and at the ttfnip's bidding the
indigo blcaches white in its anxiety to prompt
" surrender all its coloring matter. Wonders
never cease.
