THE OLD MAIDS WISH.

Oh, weave no wedding wreath for me,
But make a good, strong cup of tea,
Connubial joys are all to light;
In these could | take no delight.
An easy chair, book to read,
A poodle which is all | need.
Then weave no wedding wreath for me,
But set the kettle on for tea
Let foolish girls delight in beaux,
Mustaches black, and broadcloih clothes.
Bright boots, of patent leather sheen,
And starched cravats, blue, pink, aud green
One fig Priscilla would not give
For any ''feiler" that doth live.
Then weave no wedding wreath for me,
But put the kettle on for tea.
Then let the servant girl prepare
A supper good with needful care,
And steep the aromatic leaves.
From China brought, (as she believes)
Then shall my laugh with triumph tel,
And when l hear the supper bell
I'll cry, .'No wedding wreath for me,
Rnt come and take n cup of tea"

CURIOUS CALCULATIONS.

y New England Johnny cake, taking
the old fashioned dimensions, is 16 inches
long, inches widc, and /! inches in
thickness. Supposing the entire crop Of
Illinois for 1865 was ground into meal
and converted into johnny cakes, allow
ing one quart Of meal to each cake, and
the Johnny cakes were laid up in the
form of a solid wall, 20 feet high and 20
feet wide, so that carriages could 90 abreast
thereon, this wall would reach from Dun
leith. 1t would surround the city OF Lon
don, covering 10 square miles with a
wall 90 feet high, and 60 feet wide Of
solid bread. This immense crop would
put Johnny cake in the hacds of every
man, woman and child savage and civil
zed, upon the face of the habitable globe.
1t would feed the plannet for two days
would require crib s feet high by s feet
wide, allowing 2! feet to bushel, 1876
miles ia length, reaching from Passama-
quoddy Bay TO San Francisco, and good
share of the distance back. If i, were
converted into whisky, computing three
galons to bushel. it would form an in
land sea sufficient to float the entire ma
vies of the world. No man need starve
to death in Illinois.
If all the kernels Of this extraordinary
crop were strung on wire, allowing two
and half grains to an inch, lengthwise,
there being 67'2OO in bushel, this wire
would reach to the moon 2j0 times, form
ing cable four incher in diameter

WASHINGT0N'S REVERENCE FOR THE
DAY AND NAME OF GOD. -,

The "order book" of the Revolutionary
army, now in the possession of Professor
Weir, of West Point, contains a general
order Of August Sd, l776, which might
well be revived after the lapse of eighty
five years, and placed in the hands of ev-
cry officer and soldier, with the formal
sanction Of the young Commander-in-ehief
of our army. Washington was at the
head of about twenty thousand troops,
then defending the city of New York.
some thirty thousand t-oors being in and
about the harbor when he issued the fol-
lowing: That the troops may have an
opportunity of attending public worship as
we'll as to take some rest after the great
fatigue they had gone through, the Cen
eral, in the future, excuses them from
fatigue duty on Sundays, except at the
ship-yards, or on special occasions, until
further orders. The General il sorry to
be informed that the foolish and wicked
practice of profane cursiug and swearing,
4 vice hitherto little known in an Ameri
can army, is growing into fashion. He
hopes the officers will by example as we'll
as by influence, endeavor to cheek it !;
and that both they and the men will re-
flee, that we can have little hope of the
blessing of Heaven on our arms, if we
insult 1t by our impiety and folly. Added
to this, it is vice so mean and low,
without any temptation, that every man
of sense and character detests and de-
spises it."

THE THRONE OF SOLOMON.

An ancient Persian Manuscript, relat-
ing to the temple and the kings house,
gives description of the throne of Sol
onion. We'll might the Queen of Sheba
exclaim ''The half was never told me-"
The sides Of the throne were of pure
gold, ard the feet of i, were emeralds and
pearls. The throne had seven steps. On
each side were delineared orchards full of
trees. the branches of which were of pre-
cious stones, representing ripe and unripe
fruit. On the tops Of the trees fowls of
the most beautiful plumage were repre-
sented, and there were hollow within, and
odious tones
On the first step were vine branches,
with punches of grapes, composed Of
stones, arranged in such manner as to
give the different colors of purple, violet,
green and led, 50 as to represent the fruit
in its various stages from green to ripe
On the second step were two lions of pure
gold, and terrible, aspect as large as life
The 2roprieties o. the throne were such
as when Solomon put his foot on the first
step, the lions extended their paws on
the second step, all The birds spread theiI
wings and made a huttering noise in the
air; on his reaching the .hird step, the
whole assembly repeated the Deity wher
he arrived on the fourth step, voices were
heard addressing him thus: "Son Of Da
vid, be grateful for the blessing the AL
mighty bestowed upon thee" and the
same was repeated on his reaching tn,
fifth step; on his touching the sixth step
all the children sang praises; on hi.
reaching the seventh step, the whole throne
became in motion, and ceased not until ht
had taken his seat, when all the lions
/ birds and animals by secret spring dis
charged a shower Of delicate perfumes OIL
the king, and two of the birds descended
and placed a golden crown on his head
Before the throne was a column of burn
ished gold, on the top of which was placed
a golden dove, which had in its beak
roll bound in silver. In this roll wer,
written the Psalms of David, and the dov,
| nrcseutel the roll 20 .he KING He rea,
portion Of it to the children OF Israel
On the approach Of wicked person tt
the throne for judgment, the lions set u!
terrible roaring and lashed their tails
the birds began to greet their feathers
and the assembly set up such loud cries
that for fear of them no person wouiG
dare be guilty Of falsehood, but would in
s,antly confess their crimes. Such was
the throne of Solomon.
