General Sheridan has issued an order

upon them. The report that the City Ma

are addressing General Cass of Michigan"
Stranger, confusedly: Beg your par

Gay. Beg thousand pardons, sir. All a
mistake-all a mistake, | assure you"
The General passed out of the building,
but soon returned; but as luck would have
it, the stranger met him full i'm the face
again, but in another position This time
he was sure he had met Mr.. Gay, for the
Senator from Michigan he knew had lust
gone out: - So the stranger stepped boldly
up, slapped the General familiarity on the
shoulder, exclaiming:

to relate. met old Cass up stairs Just
now; thought it was you, and began ours
ing him about my room"
General Cass, with emphasis, "Well
young man, you have met old Cass again."
Stranger sloped, and he has not been
heard of since.

Eating while Eatigued.

There are few habits more injurious TO
health than the common one of filling the
stomach with food while the body is
fatigued. Men will come from the fields,
from their shops and counters, with their
bodies or brains, or both, almost exhausted
sit down and hurriedly eat hearty meal,
and then go back TO their labor again. If
the brain, or any part or organ of the
body becomes unduly fatigued, the whole
system requires rest for while, so that
the nervous influence and the circulation
Of the BLOOD. may become equalized through
ont the body before another demand is
made upon the vital energies If the
stomach is filed with food while the vital
forces are powerfully directed to the brain
or the muscles, digestion cannot take place
until an equilibrium has been established
and the blood and nervous power
determined to the stomach, conse-
quently the food remains undigested, fer
ments and becomes sour and irritates
the stomach, causing arrangement and d.
sease of the digestive organs, and through
them of the whole system. If you have
any care for your health and comfort
never sit down TO cat while either body or
brain is fatigued from over exertion.

An interesting letter has Just been receiv-
ed by Mr.. VIM. Logan, Glasgow, from the
Rev. DIR George Turner, missionary, au-
thor of - Nineteen Years in Polynesia"
dated Samoa, or Navigator's Islands, South
Pacific, November 90, 1866. We make the
following extract:
"On the 18th Of September, a little after
noon, cOmmOtiOn was observed in the
deep, blue sea, about mile and halffrOm
Olosenga, and three and half from Tau.
1t appeared like surf breaking over
sunken rock. Some thought it might be a
whale blowing, and others that it was a
shoal of bonito. The unusual commotion
continued all day, and by the following
morning, at daylight, volcanic action was
unmistakable At first the eruptions were
at intervals of about an hour. They went
on increasing for two days, and on the 18th
there were fifty in the hour. For three
days longer there was one continued sue
cession of outbursts. The natives gazed in
amazement at the great jets of mud and
dense columns of other volcanic matter
rising in terrific grandeur two thousand
feet above the level Ofthe sea- These again
branched out into clouds of dust, blacken-
ing the sky and covering up Olosenga from
the sight of the people on Tau. The roar
of the erupiions, and the collision and crash
of the masses of rock met in their down
ward course from the clouds by others fly
ing up were fearful. Quantities of fuesed
obsidian, too, threw off the most lovely
fragments, which shone and sparkled in
the sunshine like thousands OF pendants
from crystal gasolier No flame appear
ed only once or twice was there a CLEAN
OF fire seen in the matter thrown up. The
sea was most violently agitated. and boiled
and dubbed furiously in great basin half
mile in diameter. After a time the ocean
hadalight sulphur tinge for ten miles round.
Heaps of dead fish were washed ashore, and
among them deep sea monsters six and
twelve feet long, which the natives had
never seen before, and for which they have
no name. The sulphurous vapors, heat
| and smoke and ashes soon made the settle
ment on Olosenga in a line with the vol
cano unbearable, and the people fled to
place little way to the south A slight
tremulous motion continued to be felt on
land, but no assures opened, nor have any
hot springs made their appearance. The
ordinary springs of fresh water are also
unaffected. After three days the violent
action began to abate, and on the 18th of
November, when the teacher from whom
have my information left, there were only
three or four in the twelve hours, and the
height to which the matter was thrown
was reduced to twenty or thirty feet above
the level of the sea. No cone or other up
lifting has appeared above the surface of
the ocean, nor is there any apparent uplift-
ing or subsistence of the adjacent small ISL
ands.

"MY Boy DRUNK" Drunk my boy
drunk and tears started to the mothers
eyes, and she bent her head in unutterable
sorrow. In that moment the vision of
useful and honorable career were destroyed,
aud one Of worthlessness, if not absolute
dishonor, presented itself. Well did she
know bat intemperance walks hand in
hand nth poverty, shame and death; and
his mothers heart was pierced as with
sharp pointed steel All young man, if
the holy feeling of love for her who bore
you is not dead within you, shun that
which gives her pain-adhere to that which
gives her joy. If she is with her Father
in heaven, shun that course Of life which
shuts the gates of heaven against you, and
debars you from her society forever. The
drunkard can never inherit the kingdom Of
God.
