The egg has been coated with every
conceivable composition, even in solid

of this is that there is air in the egg
before it is treated, and this uniting
it's oxygen and carbon, produces de,
composition by carbonic acid gas. the

naturally designed to last as long as
the hen requires to get her brood, and
the life germ can be preserved u few
weeks-seven or eight-but no long

preserved state for two years by
greasing with butter, oil, or lard, but
from the time it is thus put up to the

Butter and lard and suet have been

and stills, that to keep an egg fresh
the air must be excluded. 1t is the
only philosophical treatment of it
that can be made. Eggs are COM
posed of more than half a dozen chem

nents are very volatile; hence the
atmosphere with its powerful agen;

poweress to do harm, but the air

Objects of the Republican
Party.

The principles of the Republican
Union party, sufficiently stated are
these:
1t maintains the inalienable right of
happiness.
1t is opposed to determinations at
the ballot box founded on birth-places,
creed or color.
II insists upon liberty of speech and
of the press, as the best guarantees for
the security of Republican institutions.
It is the friend of free schools, and
earnestly urges the diffusion of intelli-
gence among all classes of people.
1t requires the just subordination of
States and local authorities and inter
ests of the nation.
1t is in favor of United States rights
for the benefit of the lone people" of
the nation, as against State rights for
benefit Of the Democratic party.
Itinsists upon prompt acquiescence
in the decision of the people at the
ballot box.
1t demands the maintenance inYio-
late of national faith as pledged to the
nations creditors.
1t requires a proper distribution of
taxation; that its burdens may fall
upon property equally.
And it insists upon economy in the
administration of public affairs.
Its object in resisting the Democrat
ic rebellion was to maintain the Union.
Its object now is to restore and re-
establish it upon such solid founda-
tious that the Democratic party can
not again endanger its existence.
1t was triumphant in war 1t will
be temperate in peace, administering
the Government with sincere determi-
nation 10 promote the interest of the
greatest number and do equal justice
to all, regardless of condition, but es-
pecially regardful of the poor, who
stand most in need of the protection
of law.
1t condemns the policy of Andrew
Johnson and the Democratic party,
because it manifestly tends to the res
toration of the doctrines which snimat-
ed the rebellion.
1t sustains the Congress of the ma
tion, because it is manifestly intended
to establish the United States upon the
enduring principles Of equal rights to
all men.
And 1t asserts the rights of all men,
regardless to color or previous oondi-
tion of servitude, to participate in all
the political rights that are now enjoy
ed by white men, because it is a right
founded in human nature and in Chris
tianiIV.

cited considerable attention from its

two feet four inches in depth; ard so
great was the weight that it required
eight men with strong ropes to lower it

fin and its contents was estimated at
$50 pounds.

A sePoor white, Voter.

As an Offset TO the story of the ignor-

age or comprehend an oath, the Griffin,
(Gs.) Union tells how one of the poor
whites" passed his examination by the
registering board /:
Some days ago it was our preroga-
tive to register, and while in the office
of registry, party of white men from
the country came in and exercised the
privilege. One of them, rather a green
looking fellow, in answer to the ques-
ton, "What is your name?" answered.
"Dick." Some time was spent by the
officer before correct understanding
was arrived at.
"Where we're you born ?"
"In the house, reckon"
Here another investigation followed.
"How old are you ?"

One of his companions answered the
question, when he Wuz directed to hold
up his right hand, and in response to
the oath said: whats all that ere
about, mister ?" The officer explained
the matter, and the unblemished citi-
zen made his mark and departed.

If you'll believe I've done the same.

But my silyered hairs have sternly taught
The worth Of that heroic story.
And when the merry jest goes round.
With sparkling wine in ample measure,
And Homan's silver voice has crowned,
The mirth with sweeter. dearer pleasure.
Ah, little do the youngest know
How wrinkles check the tongues bsguiling
And that my voice had once sN eet ioW,
To charm a maiden into smiling.
And often in the may thrOng.
When little feet are lightly dancing,
And as each maiden whirls along.

A Frog story.

A writer in Science Gossip says:
"a near neighbor, upon whose We
racity can rely. recently opened a
drair in Kent, when he made the fol-
lowing discovery At the mouth of
the drain were placed two large stoness
in measurement nearly two feet square
and three inches thick; the one at the
top rested closely upon the one be-
meath. Upon lifting it from the lower
stone the skeletons of FIVE frogs were
discovered; they were quite. Upon
taking one of them up and holding it
to the light, there was only a thread
like appearance of bones between the
dry. ffattened and fieshless skins; these
skins were clear and beautifully mark
ed. In this state they were seen by
several persons and by each of them
the frogs were considered to be dead !;
but when the water commenced to flow
over them there was slight gasping
perceived in the throats of each, by
degrees the bodies swelled, and life and
motion returned. Then, to the sur
prise of the beholders, the frogs sprang
up, and ran away into the drain. How
did these frogs get beneath the stone
that covered the lower one so closely?
There was no space for them to enter
or depart, and upon the surface there
was not the slightest indentation made
by the frogs. 1t was supposed to be
30 years ago that the stones were
placed over the drain"

"a CIericaI KImIan.,,

Such is the heading. in extra capitals,
Of a story of imposture and crime, go
ing the rounds Of the daily papers,
One would suppose, from the heading,
that another minister Of the gospel had
fallen. But it turns to be the story of
an adventurer who pretended to be
minister, just as every rogue pretends
to be an honest man. There is no evil
dence that any church licensed or or
dained him. He began to preach con
his own hook" as the boys would say.
Now, we protest against such a use
OF the word clerical. The object Of
the sensational caterer for the daily
journals is evident. He would give q
hit, by this heading, at the clergy as a
class. He would insinuate that the
adjective and the noun go naturally to-
gether-that clerical yilliany" is a
common species that the words fit
each other as drunk and disorderly"
do in our Police reports. Does not such
an insinustion snow shallow intellect
as well as a corrupt heart? Would that
editor, in giving the account of swim
dler, who pretended to be an army Off
GER, call it military villainy ?" Or if
some vile charlatan, pretending to bes
physician, drugge6 somebody to death
would he call it medical yiIliany p
A shrewd man, however be might have
wanted to ventilate his hatred of Chris
tian ministers, would not have run into
so palpable an absurdity.
But why did that scoundrel out in
Missouri pretend to be a minister If
ministers fall so naturally into villiany
as these scriblers for the secular press
would have US believe, why did he not
pretend to be a liquor seller, dancing
master, or the editor Of a daily paper?
An he was shrewder than the man
who tells US his story. He knew that
the ministerial character was the best
70 counterfeit, because it IS the best in
reality. No one gets up spurious plates
npon a worthless bank. No one makes
false dies of uncurrent coin. Just as
long as all these swindlers pretend to
be preachers we shall have the best
possible eVidence-that of the enemy
himself testifying against himself-that
the ministry, as class, have and de-
serve the confidence of the people

OLD TIMES.


Ii ere's a beautiful song on the slumb'rous RiI
That drifts through the valley Of dreams;
II comes from a cline where the roses were.
And a tunefnl heart and bright brown hair
That waved in the morning beams.
Soft eyes Of azure and eyes Of brown,
And snow-White fOrehesds are there;
A glimmering cross anda clustering crown.
A thOrny bed and a couch of down.
Lost hopes and leaflets Of prayer.
A lose wreath in dimpled hand.
A ring and q slighted vow.
Three golden links Of a broken band.
A tiny track on the snow white sand.
a fearless and sinless brow.
There's tineture of grief in the beautiful song
That sobs in the slumb'rous air,
And lonliness felt in the festive throrg,
Sinks dOga in the soul as Il trembles along,
From cline where the roses are.
We heard il first at the dawn Of day.
And IL mingled with matin chimes.
But years have distaneed the beasuful lay,
And its melody howeth from far away,
And we call it now, Old Time.
