LOOKING AT THE BRIGHT SIDE
Here is letter from wife in Massa-
chustts to her husband in California
She don't intend going through the
world with the blues:
Ny Dear Husband: As it is now
some time since you left for Califor
MIA, suppose you would be glad to
hear hoy we are getting along in your
absence. | am happy to say we are
enjoying very good health on the
whole. Just at present two of the
boys have got the small pox; Amanda
Jane has got the typhus fever; Betsey
is down with the measles; Samuel
got hooked by a COW the ether day
and little Peter has just chopped of,
three of his fingers with hatchet.-
1t is mercy he didn't chop them all
off. With these trifing exceptions we
are all we'll and getting along nicely.
You needn't be at all anxious about
US. | almost forgot to say that Sa-
rah Matilda eloped last week with a
tin peddier. Poor girl she had been
waiting for & chance, and I'm glad
she's married at last. She needn't
have taken the trouble to elope though.
Tor I'm sure was clad enough to have
her 90. She was a great eater, and
| find baked beans don't 90 off near
so fast as they did. The way that
gil would dip into pork and beans
was a caution to the rest Of the fami-
Iy. The COW took it intO her head to
run away which was very fortunate, !
am sure, for the barn caught fire last
night and was consumed. | was in
hopes that the house would 90 to, for
it's incOnyenient; but the wind was
the wrong way, so it didn't receive
much injury. Some boys broke into
the orchard the other day and strip.
ped all the fruit trees. | am very
glad of it, for if they hadn't ! pre-
sumo the children would have made
themselves i'll.

LUsUs NATURR.-Quite a curiosity
is now on exhibition at the Drug Store
of DIR. Geo. Nichols in Northfeld.-
It is . wonderful pig" which the DIR.
found at the farm of Mr.. Israel Ave-
ry, during his recent explorations as
lister through that goodly town. The
pig has one head, but two distinct bo-
dies, the bodies joiniDg-or branch
inc out,-the reader may have this
just as he pleases,-immedlately back
of the shoulders. There are four hind

land also two fore legs growing direct

Ion its one head the pig has two ears
lin the usual place for auricular appen-
dages, and is likewise provided with
an additional pair on the top OF its
j head, besides being furnished with an
lextra set of teeth or tusks. 1t was
one of a litter of eight pigs-the rest
being all right--and lived but short
time after its advent. nt.-FreemGft.

Herod, the Great.

Here is a Sagacious man, a brave
man, an admirable administrator, and
one who out-intrigued the best intrig-
uerS OF his day,-mOre than a match
for Cleopatra, or Antony, or Angus
tus. He stops at nothing. There is
no bar he cannot spring over. Trans
gressor, indeed Appointed king, he
had TO storm the defences of his own
capital, Jerusalem, so unpopular was
he with the people. Very well-he
stormed them! The city taken, he
deals with the Jewish council, the
Sanhedrim. All but two have been
opposed to him. So all but two are
killed The high priest seems to be
in opposition. He assaSsinates the
high priest. He is left without an.
enemy who dares show himself. He
is at the height of prosperity and sue
cess. He loves, perhaps, no one but
his wife, and he worships her. So his
mother and his sister accuseher of
falseness, and be, mad with jealousy,
| kills her So with all who follow
| her. He marries whom he will, d.
vorces whom he will, and kills whom
| he will. Two sons she leaves him,
noble young men, loved by everybody,
even by him. So distinguished are
they that they win the Jealousy Of
his brother and sister. In an Eastern
court it is easy to accuse, and the faith
err, convinced too readily of their guilt,
tries them and executes them. 1t is
then that he falls into his last sick
mess. In that sickness, hearing some
thing said Of a king born in Bethle-
hem, he gives orders that every in
fant In Bethlehem shall be killed, tho
in It's mothers arms. Getting orders
from Rome that he may do his will his
son Autipater, he orders him executed,
and then he dies. This is Herod the
Great, successful transgressor, if to
succeed is always to have ones way.
Now [ do not ask whether his con-
science smote him or not. | only ask
IL JfllS way OE his, NHlCu NoS MS c"h
F way, seems to anybody smooth way,
/ a wav which would attract or seduce
/ one, even if he could keep out of the
! sight of its end. Is it not from the
/ beginning hard way? Is it not clear
thai one of these murders compelled
: another? Is it not clear that this
d passionate ferocity grew with what 1t
S fed upon? We are pleased to say
n that in the close of his life Herod was
t. insane. We say the same thing of
@ Nero, of Claudius, of Caligula.
Ie suppose it was true. But what doe;
e. that word insane mean in such live:
5. but this: that where a man is cursed
er by the opportunities to transgress in
id defnitely-where he can crafty nj
ID passions-or as we say, can have hi
r. own way-that then the brain give
w way as every other. organ falls-tha
be he cannot think any more accurately
C. than he can walk or than he can strike
Passion destroys manhood. This
no what we mean when we say he ha
rO gone made. We mean that the wa
od of the transgressor is hard.-E. Hal

Three Young Men.

Three young men rode into the town,
Side by side as the sun went down,
Shook hands and parted TO seek their rest,
And each to live as to him seemed best.
The first caroused with cards and wine
Decked his mistress with jewels fine,
And laughed as he tossed his glass on high,
Nor rocked, God help him, he bad to die.
The second did naugnt but moan and pray,
Groan through the night and through the day
He lived in fear, God help him, say
And only thought that he had to die.
The third enjoyed the goods he had;
Laughed with the gay and wept with the sad,
Nor ever forgot, God bless him, say 1,
That he had TO live and he had to die.

BRICK. PoMEBoY.-Brick Pomeroy
Of the La Crosse Democrat is undoubt-
edly the nastiest copperhead in the
country. In the last number of the
Democrat the traitor Beauregard is
called plucky and the rebel Buc5ner
gaIlaut-both :" of Confederate fame 80
Sixty of these great unhung asked
Pomeroy in a letter to lecture to them,
and in hiS-re8ponSe accepting, he ad-
dressed them as Patriots and Gen
demea.. In the same copy of the De
mocrat is his editorial letter, column
Of which is devoted to Indignantly
slandering Gen. Butler. We give a
single specimen sentence:
so damnable is the record which
shows his character that it seems as
if he must be the illegitimate offspring
of lost souls crossed between pirates
and hyenas, back to the tenth genera
ton; that the breath Of life blown
into his nostrils must have been the
sudden escaping of the odors which
from the time God said let there bs
light" had been congregating IN th'
cesspools Of iladeS; that his SOU j
but the tangled knot Of curses which
for ages have been gathering in q
swarm as they fell from the lips of
those a million times damned; thai
his heart must be the chamber where
in is kept the diabolical misconcep
lions of hate, wickedness and corrup
tion, abandoned by all former villain:
as too despicable for even the dam
ned to contemplate"

The New Chickamauga Bridge

Bidders will remember that pro-
posals Cor the construction of the
new Bridge across Chickamauga
creek, on the Portsmouth road, must
be flee by noon of the 22d inst
The plan for the Bridge is as follows:
Abutments six by thirty feet at the
lower base, and three by twenty four
feet at the upper base, with wing
walls of the same dimensions, to be
built inside of the present walls,
without disturbing them-making a
span of thirty two feet, for an iron
bridge. To be completed by earth
work, filled to the height of the pres
ent structure, eighteen feet wide at
the upper base, or roadway, and
twice its height, added to the width
Of the road way, in width at the low
er base, SO that the slopes shall be
at .a angle, with the roadway, of
ferty-fve degrees. The old material
to be used, if suitable for the pur-
pose.
