DAILY LIFE OF A CoNGREssMAN.--
The Washington correspondent of the
Free Press gives the following humor.
ous account of the arduous life of a
Congressman
| think Wizards is n good place to
stop, because hero you can, perhaps
better than elsewhere, witness the
habits and daily routine OF business OF
Congressmen, which is about rs fol.
lows Come down about eight in the
morning and visit the counter, where
they get their stomach bitters. This
is for dyspepsia-Congress is an awful
place for dyspepsia.) Breakfast at
nine. Before this, each one takes
more or less Of impeachment, which
is dispensed in the house at the low
price of twenty cents glass, PLAIN.
After breakfast little impeachment
is taken by way of opening the days
business. The time until the hour ar.
rives for them TO assemble, is devoted
to abusing each other and unlimited
damning OF the President.
After this they saunter over 10 the
Capitol and spend the morning inves-
tigating the case of some friend in a
whiskey distillery, involving the i'm
mense sum OF about a hundred dollars,
and talking impeachment At noon,
all assemble at Willards and investi-
gate more whiskey frauds; this time
in smaller quantities-safely say pint
each. Dinner at from three TO five
after which time most of the members
are fatigued and retire, looking con-
siderably impcached. Some don't
make their appearance until the next
morning, and when they do, they look
as if they wero sorry they had. The
prayer meeting comes in some time
during the day. ! haven't attended
any yet, but shall, for am resolved
TO see all the curiosities.

The PRESIDENTS YEroEs.-A list OF
the vetoes of President johnson, of
bills passed by Congress, shows that
during the first session he returned
without bis sanction six bills, and du.
ring the second session FIVE 0fthose
eleven bills, six were passed over the
veto, and four failed for the want of a
two-thirds majority. The President
caused one bill to fail, which had not
been presented 10 him within ten days
of the end of the first session, by re-
fusing 10 sign it--this being what is
called "pockct Veto Four bills be.
came laws without bis sanction, by his
omission to return them to the cham
Der in which they originated, within
ten days. One (the army appropria-
tion bilD he signed with a protest.

The Pifu of IL.

The philanthropists of the Philadel-
phia EUening Bulletin propose that the
suffering poor of the South be left TO
starve to death on account of their
political opinions. 1t says:
Loyal Philadelphia cannot forget
that Alabama, not long since, elected
the pirate Scmmes Judge OF a court
there" and adds $50 long as the
Southern people insist upon honoring
such scoundrels as Semmes, they can
not expect such loyal communities as
that Of Philadelphia to forget the bor-
rors of Andersonville and Belle Isle,
and bcstow aims where the only re-
turn is an exhibition Of vindictivc
spite"
Who could have thought that any
person, much less the editor of an in
fluential journal, in this Christian age,
would give utterance TO such an inia-
nous sentiment! Eighteen hundred
years ago, lie who preached Charity
to all men told the fate of those who
wiekedly refused to practise it:
IL was an hungred, and ye gave me
no meat; was thirsty and ye gave
me no drink; | was a stranger and ye
took me not in; naked and ye clothed
me not; sick, and in prison, and ye
visited me not Then shall they also
answer him, saying, Lord, when saw
we thee an hungered, or athirst, or a
stranger, or naked, or sick, or in pris-
on, and did not minister unto thee i?
Then shall he answer them, saying
verify, say INTO you, hasmuch as ye
did Il not 10 one o. the least Of these, ye
did IL mol unto we AND THESE SHALL
GO AWAY INTO EVERLASTING PUNISH
MEST."

INFLUENCE OF HAPPINESS On THE
MIND.-lt should never bc forgotten
that the happier a child the olevercr
he will be. This is not only because
in state of happiness the mind is
free, and at liberty for the exercise of
its faculties, instead of spending its
thoughts and energies in brooding
over troubles but also because the
action of the brain is stronger when
the frame is in a state of hilaIity; the
ideas arc more clear; impressions Of
outward objects are more vivid and
the memory will not let them slip.
This is reason enough for the mother
10 take some care that she is the
cheerful guide and comforter of her
child. If she is anxious or fatigued.
she will exercise some control over
herself. sneak chcerfullv. and try to
enter freely into The subject Of the
moment; to meet the child's mind, in
short, instead of making him sick for
want of companionship.

SHOE PEGGING.-At the recent ex-
hibition Of the Polytechnic branch Of
the American Institute, in New York,
hand shoe-pegging machine was ex-
hibited, which is saio TO have operated
TO the satisfaction of tho members.
The exhibitor claimed that by his ma.
chine he could peg one pair of boots
per minute, the work consisting of
cutting the pegs from long strips of
birch wood, punching the holes and
driving a double row Of pegs

CENTRAL LEE AS A TEACHER-The
Educational Association of Virginia
recently appointed a committee TO
prepare an address on their behalf
"urging hearty cooperation with
teachers in matters of instruction, dis
cipline, &c" The committee in their
report, drawn by General Lee, come
TO the following sensible conclusions ::
!. The parent after committing his
child TO the teaching of another. should
continue TO manifest an affectionate
interest in his improvement, by con
slant inquiry and encouragement
2. The supplying Of young persons,
while absent from their homes, with
needless money, and the permission
to contract debts, are to be rcprobat-
cd, as tempting TO a sinful prodigality
and multiplying the dangers Of con
tracing habits of vice
3. The proper authority Of teachers
must be firmly sustained by parents.
4. Every young person should be
Informed by his parents that he must
give diligence to profit by his studies,
or else must be compelled to make
himself useful to society by actual la
Dor in some humber sphere.
And last, an unworthy parent can
not reasonably expect the teacher,
against the current of his wrong ex.
ample, TO form his son into a worthy
man.

A MIDNIGHT FUNERAL.-ln accord
ance with the wishes Of the late Prof.
John II. Alexander, who died on Sat
urday last, at his residence, No. 272
West Lexington street, his funeral
took place in a somewhat novel man
ner, ut six o'clock last evening, the
body being removed from his resi-
dence, carried by six persons, followed
by his relatives and friends on foot,
to s.. Luke's Protestant Episcopal
Church, on Carey and Lexington
streets, whore the proper religious
ceremonies were read by Rev DR.
Pinckney, an old friend and elassmate
of the deceased. The body then re-
mained in the church until midnight.
shortly after which hour, in strict ac-
cordance with the expressed desire of
the deceased in his will, it was borne
to St Paufs Cemetery, on the corner
Of sremontand German streets, where,
after the reading Of the burial services,
the remains were consigned to the
tomb. As the clock struck one this
morning, in the midst Of pelting
hail-storm, the coffin, elegantly draped
in black cloth, with handsome silver
mountings, was lowered in the vault
in the presence of a large number of
his male friends, who accompanied
the body to the grave. The scene at
the burial was Of an exceedingly solemn
character, the intense darkness, the
late hour, the lurid torches, illumina-
ting the faces of the attendants, the
solemn ritual for the dead, all adding
70 the impressive etfect.-Bak. Sun.
