SMILE AND BE CON
TENTED.

The world grows cold, and men grow cold,
To each whilst seeking treasure;
And what with want, and care, and toll,
We scarce have time for pleasure.
But never mind-that is loss
Not much to be lamented;
Life rolls on gaily if we will
But smile and be contented.
If we are poor, and would be rich,
1t will not be by pining;
No. steady hearts and hopeful minds
Are life's bright silver lining.
There's ne'er man that dared to hope
Hath of his choice repented;
The happiest souls on earth are those
Who smile and are contented.
When grief doth come to rack the heart,
And fortune bids US sorrow,
From hope we'may blessing reap
And consolation borrow.
If thorns will rise where roses bloom,
It cannot be prevented:
So make the best of life you can,
And smile and be contented.

European Army Statistics

l. The French Emperor has a
force of about 100000 soldiers,
which can be speedily mobitazed in
an emergency.
2. The Austrian army, on a
wal footing, may be placed at $751;
900 men of all arms. That of
Prussia, including the Landwehr,
or trained militia, atleast $50, 900.
Bavaria can raise 10000 men,
Hanover, Saxony and Wurtem-
burg can each put $4,000 soldiers
in the field; and the Duchy of
Baden at least $4,000. Hesse-
Darmstadt and Hesse- Cassel to-
gether as many as $4,000 also.
8. Victor Emanuel could put In
motion, "at moments notice, +"
over 100000 of as good soldiers
as are in Europe,
In the event Of war between
Prussia and Austria, the chances
are that all the powers we have
mentioned, would become parties
in it.

A Bureau Plan.

A cheap way to run the Freed
mems Bureau is given by Ken
tuckian. 1t will not cost $40, ,0OO,-
900 a year, but will give the coun-
try more content than the employ
ment of forty generals and their
stats, and furnish every individu-
al Sambo with a secretary" to
be pitched out of the window or
otherwise, as the fancy happens
to seize him.
l. Every freedman shall have a
bureau for himself, with a looking
glass on the top, if he wants it.
2. Every freedman shall have
a secretary.
5. Every freed boy or girl shall
have a wardrobe.
4. Every freed child shall have
whatever it cries for.
5. White people, whether free
or not, must behave themselves.
6. All people of every color, en-
cept red, must vote.
Z. Every free white male citi-
zen of the age of 2l years or un-
der, and of sound mind or other
wise, may vote if he will take the
oath that he would be niger if
he could.

SAMBo IN THE CAPIToL.-The
Washington correspondent OF a
Philadelphia paper (not Forney's)
states that he saw, the other day,
two hundred and thirty-four
"freedmen" and "freedwomen" OF
the flthiest description in the
gallery of the House of Represen-
tatives. Of this fragrant assem-
blage a large number had baskets,
and were pic-nicking in the pres
ence of assembled wisdom. 1t is
not mentioned that they pitched
the debris of their pork and johnny
cake on the floor of the House, but
the writer says that they have
done much more than that-vlz:
populated the cushions in the gal
ieries SO thickly with one OF the
plaques of Egypt that nothing
short of a wholesale application OF
.Dead Shots" and "Extermina-
tors" will serve to abate the nul-
sance.

/ M. C.-Before the abolition of
the peculiar institution, a free ne
gro was commonly designated by
the suffix, f. m. c., free man of
color. Now, however, as all col
ored gentlemen are free, we notice
that our contemporaries drop
the "f" and merely write ''m. C"
to denote the much favored sons
of Ham. But it happens that m.
C. also denotes a member of Con-
gress. Now will some one tell us
how in future we are to distinguish
a member of Congress from free
negro, as it is much easier in these
days to find resemblances of the
one to the other than to see the
differences. So true is it that men
will assimilate the objects of their
idolatry. eff you would be like
Brahma think of Brahma. "-Mur-

The London Spectator notices
the formation of a company called
the "Cash Payment Association"
intended to take advantage of the
difference between cash and credit
prices. Every person who pays
ten shillings year to the associa-
ton receives a list of shops at
which, for ready money, he may
obtain goods from seven to twen-
ty-fve per cent. cheaper than he
otherwise would. The tradesmen
give this pledge to the association,
being themselves repaid by the ad-
ditional customers sent them.

SOME ONES DARLING

Into a ward of the white-washed halls.
Where the dead and the dying lay,
Wounded by bayonets shells and balls,
Somebody's darling, was borne one day
Somebody's darling, SO young and so brave,
Wearing yet on his sweet, pale face
Soon to be hid in the dust of the grave
The lingering light of his boyhood's grace
Matted and damp are the curls of gold
Kissing the snow of that fair young brow
Pale are the lips of the delicate mould
Somebody's darling is dying now.
Back from his beautiful blue-veined brow
Brush his wandering waves of gold;
Cross his hands on his bosom now
Somebody's darling is still and cold.
Kiss him once for somebody's sake,
Murmur prayer soft and low
One bright curl from its fair brow take
They were somebody's pride, you know;
Somebody's hand hath rested there;
Was it mothers, soft and white?
Or have the lips of sister fair
Been baptised in their waves of light?
God knows best! He has somebody's love;
Somebody's heart enshrined him there
Somebody's waited his name above,
Night and morn, on the wings of prayer.
Somebody wept when he marched away,
Looking SO handsome, brave and grand!
Somebody's kiss on his forehead lay,
Somebody clung to his parting hand.
Somebody's watching and waiting for him.
Yearning to hold him again to her heart,
And there he lies with his blue eyes dim,
And the smiling, child-lIke lips apart.
Tenderly bury the fair young dead
Pausing to drop on his grave tear;
Carve on the wooden slab DER his head
somebody's darling slumbers here!"

The late Judge F., of Con-

quickness of apprehension. At a
certain time Hon. R. w. Sherman
was urging case before him, and
in the course of his remarks Mr..
S. made a point which the Judge
did not at once see. "Mr. Sher-
man, | would thank you to state
the point 30 as | can understand
you" Bowing politely, Mr.. S. re-
piled in his blandest manner,
"Your honor is probably not
aware of the task you are impo-

Not Bad.

A short distance from the city
of Montgomery, in the State OF
Alabama, on one of the stage
roads running from that city, lived
a Jolly landlord by the name of
Ford. In fair weather or in foul,
in hard times or soft, Ford would
have his joke. 1t was a bitter,
stormy night, or rather morning,
about two hours before daylight,
that he was aroused from his slum-
bers by loud shouting and knocks
at his door. He turned out but
soreIy against his will, and de-
manded what was the matter. 1t
was dark as tar, and seeing no
one, he cried out:
"Who are you there?"
"Burder, and Yancey and Ell
more, from Montgomery" was the
answer, con our way to attend
court. We are benighted and
want to stay all night"
every sorry | can't accommo-
date you so far; do anything to
oblige you, but that's impossible" !"
The lawyers, forthey were three
of the smartest in the State, and
all ready to drop. down with IA
tigue, held a brief consultation,
and then, as they could do no bet
ter, and were too tired to go an
other step, they asked:
"Well, can't you stable our hor-
ses and give us chairs and a good
fire until morning?"
"Oh, yes, gentlemen, can do
that"
Our learned and legal friends
were soon drying their clothes by
a bright fire, as they composed
themselves for the few remaining
hours in their chairs, doing and
nodding, and now and then swear
ing a word or two of impatience,
as they waited till daylight did ap-
pear. The longest night has a
morning, and at last the sun came
along, and then in due time a good
breakfast made its appearance;
and to the surprise of the lawyers,
who thought the house was crowd
ed with guests, none but them
selves sat down to partake.
"Why, Ford, I thought your
house was SO full you couldn't
give us a bed last night?" said
Burder.
81 didn't say SO" replied Ford.
"You didn't? What in the
name OF thunder did you say2"
"You asked me to let you stay
all night, and / said it would be
impossible, for the night was nigh
unto two-thirds gone when you
came. If you only wanted beds,
why on earth didn't you say 500"
The lawyers had to give it up.
Three of them on one side, and
the landlord alone had beat them
all.

Parson B. was truly-a plous
man, and at the long grace which
usually followed the meals, he and
the whole family knelt, except the
parsons brother, who being Ger
much . fat stood with his back to
the table, overlooking the garden.
One day--it was summer time
the parson was unusually fervent,
not appearing to notice the fdgety
movements of his brother, who
kept twisting about, until finding
no end to the thanks, he broke In
with: "Cut it short: the COWS

They Won't Trouble You
Long.

Children grow up-nothing on
earth grow SO fast as children. 1t
was but yesterday and that lad
was playing with tops, buoyant
boy. He is man and gone now
There is no more childhood for him
or for US. Life has claimed him.
When a beginning is made it is
like raveling stocking, stitch by
stitch it gives way till all are gone.
The house has not child in it
There is no more noise in the hall
boys rushing in pell nell; it is
very orderly now. There are no
more skates or sleds, bats, or balls,
or strings left scattered about.
Things are neat enough now.
There is no delay of breakfast
for sleepy folks, there is no longer
any task before you lie down of
looking after anybody, and tuck
ing up the bedclothes. There are
no disputes to settle, nobody to
get off to school, no complaints, no
opportunities for impossible things,
no rips to mend, no fingers to tie
up, no faces to be washed, or col
lars to be arranged. There was
never such peace in the house.
1t would sound like music to have
some feet clatter down stairs. o,
for some children's noise!
What used to all US that we were
hushing their loud laugh, check
ing their noisy frolic, and reprov-
ing their slamming and banging
the door? We only wish our
neighbor would lend us an urchln
or two to make a little noise in
these premises. A home without
children! tits like a lantern and
no candles; a garden and no flow
ers; vine and no grapes; a brook
and no water gurgling and rushing
in its channel. We want to be
tried, to be vexed, to be run over, to
hear child-life at work with all Its
varieties.
During the secular days this is
enough marked. But it is Sunday
that puts our home to the proof.
This is the Christian family day.
The intervals of public worship
are long spaces of peace. The
family is made upon that day
You can lay your hands upon
their heads. They seem to recog-
nize the greater or less love--to
God and to friends. The house is
peaceful, but not still. There is
a low and melodious trill of chill
dren in it. But Sunday comes
too still now. There is silence
that aches in the ear. There is
too much room at the table, too
much at the hearth. The bed
rooms are a world too orderly
There is too much leisure and too
little care.
Alas, what mean these things?
Is somebody growing old? Are
these signs and tokens? Is life
waning?

Stage Nonsense.

We were speaking to a friend
the other day, respecting the mer-
its of celebrated tragedian,"
when we had occasion to comment
on the rant of the stage-the loud
mouthing, the outrageous gesture,
the furious rolling of the eyes, the
stride, swords that rattle in the
hilt, and all the 'spomp and cir
cumstance" of the modern drama.
Fancy this style carried into
real life. On being introduced to
a lady you would say, throwing
yourself into a splendid attitude:
"Most gracious madam, on my
knees 1 greet you," impressively
placing your right hand ON your
heart.
To a creditor who would not
pay:
"Fraadulent knave! !payest thou
me not? By yonder sun that bla-
zes in the zenith, thee will | sue,
and thou shalt see thy impious
name flaming the streets on post
ers hugeP'
At dinner:
"Now, by my soul and all my
highest hopes, those beans are roy
al. Were l Jupiter, beans should
grace each royal banquet. What,
ho! waiter, bring hither more
beans!
To your wife:
"Madam, beware thou dost ex-
cite me not; else being too hot
with wrath, l do myself some harm.
A needle-a button Oh my shirt
and see it instantly performed
Do it! Not leave the task to me!"
To your butcher:
"Thou ensanguined destroyer Of
bovines, send me some mutton
and some beef; and mark you let
it be tenderer than love and sweet
er than the bees rare burden. |
would dine to-day"
To a friend:
"Excuse a rash intrusion on
your grace, but hast thou in thy
box a portion of that plant, ranked
by the botanist among the 9enats
micotidna?' or, "Most noble friend,
wilt thou partake with me some
strong glibation? Thou lookestdull
to-day; twill cheer thy sinking
heart"
Reply-"Oh, noble soul! alas,
not all the wine of Bacchanalian
revels could ease the sorrow here
here here! LEFT arm struck
several times.) Oh, what a fool
and arrant knave am l, the very
sport of fortune"
This is scarcely more ridiculous
than three-quarters Of the stage
nonsense.

How TO PREVENT CROWS FROM
PULLING CoRN.-The usual meth
cd of preventing crows from pull
ing corn is to frighten them with
old clothes stuffed with straw,
pieces of tin, or yarn stretched on
poles across the field. And some
farmers hang dead crows in differ
ent parts of the field, which is said
to be very effective. A cores
pondent of the New Yorker pours
warm water On the seed and adds
gas tar, at rate of a tablespoon
full to peck of seed. A farmer
in the western part of New York,
whose cornGeld covered sometimes
a hundred acres, prepared seed
corn by warming it in a large ket-
tie, and tarring it, using common
tar. To prevent the kernels from
adhering, and at the same time
promote a rapid growth of the
corn, fine sifted ashes was added.
Plaster would serve the same pur-
pose. In locality where crows
were very numerous, corn thus
prepared was undisturbed. 1t re-
quires but little tar, and if we'll
done no great inconvenience in
planting, results from its use.
