The Beauty Of Old People.

Men and women make their own
beauty or their own ugliness. Sir
Edward Bulwer Ly,ton speaks in

read it, every human boing carries
his life in his face, and is good look.

is not the monopoly Of blooming
young men and of white and pink

beauty which only comes to per.

The French correspondent of the

3" The Country Church,

We clip the following tit bit of
sentiment from the Lockport Daily
Union. 1t brings oldcn memories
back:
We have been to the country
church that was old when we were
young. 1t is neither costly nor
grand, but rude and homcly, with
moss growing about the caves,
where pair of swallows built
their nests in the summer that is
dead. There are no lofty marble
pillars uear the porch, nor tesscla.
ted doors, nor has it skilllul aachi
lecture but there it stands, plain
old building, n hallowcd relic OF
other days. 1t has no gallery,
where the hired musicians let fall
:he liquid tones of sound,
|" Nor deep-toncd organ blown, nor cen
ser swung,
Nor dim light streaming through pictured
pane"
But still we like the old church.
1t brings back to us the daisicd
slopes OF childhood, the Joyous an
ticipations of the future, and the
golden CLEANS of gladnoss that ho
yer around the steps of youth
We hear echoing through memo.
rvs corridor the holy words falling
from the pale.browed man whose
guileless teachings sauk deep into
our heart. We have listened since
tucn to the sermons of the great,
rheiorically rounded, and brilliant
metaphors, and poetic imagery,
and flights Of fancy but their high
toned beauty has failed to touch
our hearts as did the simple clio
quenco of the minister in the old
church.
There, too, is the graveyard
where sleep in dust the ashes OF
those who were So dear to us in
life, and whose memories come to
us win the rise OF the sun, and the
pale light Of stars. There rest the
companions of our schoolboy days,
and our youthful sports. And
there, toosr lies who roamcd hand
in hand with MS about the valley,
who plucked with rs tho wild flow
ers beside the brook, who saw with
the appreciative eye the violets
Ol3oming on the robe Of May, and
wept with us happy tears at the
glory and gorgeousness of summer
sunsets. For eleven years she has
listened to the harp notes Of the
angels. Still We love to linger be
side her grave near the old church,
and fancy that the mild breathing
Of the evening air is caused by the
soft rustling of an angels wings
DO not blame us for loving the old
church, for memories of ours, pure.

ing saint, when we sit in the shad-

Fearful Story Of HYdrophobia.

Mr.. Henry Drew, Assistant Su.
perintendent Of Public Property,
has related to us the particulars of
a case of hydrophobia at the village
of Waterloo, which surpssses 10
tragic interest almost any story Of
the kind we ever read 4:
Some six or seven years ago
mad dog went through the village
of Waterloo, Jefferson county, and
bit a number OF animals. Among
others it snapped ut the leg Of q
COW belonging to Mr.. Babcock.-
Tho animal was examined but no
II ark was found and it was sup.
oscd that il escaped being bitten.
The animal was afterwards sold to
a man by the name Of Garrison,
who used her milk very freely, as
did two Of his children. Some Of
the ncighbors, including Mr..
Drew's family, were also supplied
with the milk Of this COW.
At different times, during the
time since the COW was bitten,
there has been inexplicable aud ia.
tai sickness among thosc using her
milk. and two child,vn of Mr.. Gar
rison's, two Of Mr. Drew's and two
others, have been attacked with
spasms and died in great agony
Mr.. Garrison has alec been attack
cd ut times with spasms. The
mystery of this sickness was solved
by the death, with every symptom
Of hyjrophobia, a short time ago,
of the COW so slightly bitten seven
years ago, and in whose system
ma lness hal been latent ever
since.
The case is n singular one and
worthy the attention of scientific
nen,-Mddison { (IPjS } Journat.

A Rich man who was not ashamed
OF his GRANpFATnER's BUSINESS.

There is in New York n gentle
man of ample fortune, which he re.
ceived by Inheritance, and who has
never inflicted upon himself any
occupation except that OF sensibly
spending and enjoying his income.
The lady, thinking the old carriage
questionable, got the ready con-
sent OF her husband for new one,
and was anxious'tbat the " family"
coat of arms should be cmbiazoncd
upon its panels. This the husband
consented to, promising to sketch
them out for the painter.
The millionaire drew a small
mound; by it was stuck a manure
fork, and upon the fork was perch,
ed chanticleer rampant.
Why, what is this 3" asked
madam in amazement. tr,
"This. said the man of money
"is our family coat Of arms. My
grandfather mafo his money cart

sents my grandfather's occupation;
the cock perched upon the top ot
the fork represents myself who

Test Oaths in tho Revolution,

In an article on test oaths, the
Philadelphia iaquiror gives the
following interesting scrap of his
tory:
The question OF test oaths Is not
a new one in the cou 1try, although
it seems new to the present gene.
ration. During the Revolutiona.
lry var most oi the States passed
test oaths. In Pennsylvania We
had one in operation from l77T mn
I'll long after tho war. II was not
repealed until 1850. 1t bore with
force upon every person who would
not swear or affirm allegiance to
the State ond the United States -
| Under its provisions nearly the
whole OF the quaker population
and the tories were disiranchised
So wide was its operation that
in some districts there was scarcely
n man who had tho qualifications
of u citizen; and it is recorded ia
Bybcrry township, in the county Of
Philadelphia, after the close of the
Revolution, thoro was not m indi-
lvidual who had the qualifications
of a citiz'n, and WAS competent to
perform the duties of an Assessor.
Great complaints were made
against the oath by the excluded
classes. They pctitioncd the Leg
islaturc Of Pennsylvania against il
annually after the Revolution wa:
ended, and it was with great diff
Guilty they succeeded in procurin;
It's repeal. At that time ther,
were no suggestions that the law
was unconstitutional.
| The Supreme Court of tho State
was not called up to decide direct
Ily upon the validity of tho oath ;
but there is on record the fact that
Chief Justice Mexican, at u Court
lof Nisi Prius held in this city, fined
, two Quakers who were returned a.
Jurors, but who could not act, no
having subscribed to the test oath
upon the ground that it was thci

in the same condition as if they

Anecdote Of Peter Cartwright

The following anecdote was told
at recent session OF the Methodist
Conference, of that venerable apos.
tlo of Metbodism, Peter Cart.
wright, which happened not long
since, and which is to good to be
lost. He was called during a visit
to one Of the parishes in his dis.
trict to administer the right of
baptism 10 an infant, and taking
the child in his arms, he inquired
in his usual slow and sure manner:
" M adam, what is the name OF the
infant " /" Jefferson Davis" re-
piled the mother. Uncle Peter
stood n moment confounded, when
showing the child in no gentle man.
ner towards the mother, he cx-
claimed in not the most pleasant
tone he could command: stake
the THING away !" and placing it
in the arms OF its mother lett the
house without baptising it, thus
reInsing to countenance sympathy
with the rebellion even in SO small
o matter as that.

Snistellanrons,
Adams Fall.

A favorilc temperance lecturer
down South, used to relate the fol.
lowing anecdote to illustrate the
influence of bad example in the
formation of habits, ruinous in
tireir effects
Adam, and Mary, his wife, were
very good members of the church,
good sort of folks any way, quite
Industrious and thriving in the
world.
Whenever the minister called to
make Mary n visit, which was Of
ten, she contrived to have II glass
OF good toddy made, and the min
lister never r, fused to imbihe.
After a while Adam got to fol-
lowing the example of the minister
to such an extent .hat he became II
drunkard--drank up everything
he had and all he could get. Mary
and Adam became very poor in
consequence OF his following the
ministers example SO :luscly, but
the good minister continued still to
get his glass Of toddy. One day he
called in and told Mary he was go.
ling away for u week--should re.
turn on Friday--and handed her u
book containing he cateclism, and
told her when he returned he would
expect her to answer the questions
Mary said yes, and laid away the
book carefully. But Mary like a
good many others. forgot it until the
very Friday that the good minis
ter was to return. What
shall | do z" said she; "thc minis.
ter is to be here to day, and have
not looked in the book he gave me,
bow can lanswer these questionsT
81 can tell you," said Adam
i" givesme a quarter, and lee me 20
lovor to Smiths and get some good
rum, and you can answer him with
q glass of toddy."
Mary took the advice, gave Ad-
am a quarter and u iug, and off he
started. After getting his jug fill
ed, and on his way back, Adam
concluded to taste the rum. One
taste followed another, until he
tum led over q pile of rocks and
broke the jug and lost all the rum
Adam managed to stagger home.
Soon as he got into the house, M a.
ry asked very anxiously for the
rum.
Mary was in a fix--Adam drunk
--thc minister coming--the rum
gone, and the questions unlearned
IBut here comes the minister! 1t
won't do for the man of God to see
Adam drunk, SO she, for want OF a
better place to hide him, cent him
under the bed. BY the time he
was fairly under, in came the min
lister. After sitting a few moments
he asked Mary il she could answer
the question, show did Adam tallg'
| Mary turned her head first one
way, and then tue other and final
Ily stammered out:
'EIIe fell over a pile Of rocks.n
1t was now the ministers turn
to look blank, but he yentured an
other question, "Whore did he
hide himself after the fall"
4 Mary looked at the minister
then at the bed, but finally she
spoke out with 1.
!" Under the bed, sir!' There,
Adam, Won may come out, he
knows all about it," IN
The good minister retired, moi
even waiting for his glass of toddy,
