A LAUCuABLE INCIDENTAL few days ago
n laughable incident occurred in the Police
Court. during the trial Of the charge of coun-
terteiting champagne labels, preferred against
n Mr.. Finke. For some reason or other two
baskets of champagne wine were brought
into Court. One basket contained real simon
pure wine, while the other contained the
counterfeit wine. About half dozen bottles
from each basket were placed on the Judges
desk. with a number oc glasses. About half
of these bottles were opened, and the mem
bers of the bar were engaged in tasting the
pure and the bogus champagne, as experts,
when man. considerably under the infu-
ence Of liquor, entered the Court Foom The
scene that greeted his eyes was calculated to
astonish almost any one but it dumfounded
the tipsy visitor, who. as soon as he recover
ed his presence of mind, approached one of
the counsel and whispered What is going
on %
Nothing more than little party cele
brating the birthday of Judge Rix,' replied
the attorney.
The tipsy individual approached the
Judges stand. and helping himself to glass
of wine said =" Heres to your Honor's good
health may you live thousand years, and
never again set fire to a carriage axletree on
the Fourth of July! ~ and drank off the
liquid.
Everybody laughed the Bailiff removed
the offender from the Court room-and the
trial proceeded call.

NORTHUMBERLAND.

A young medical student from Michigan,
who had been attending lectures in New
York for some time, and who considered
himself exceedingly good-looking and fas-
cinating, III ade a deadly onslaught on the
heart and fortune of blooming young lady
in the same family with him. After long
seige the lady surrendered. They were mar
ried on Wednesday, in the morning. The
same afternoon the young wife sent for and
exhibited to the astonished student "beau-
tiful" little daughter aged three years and a

youngest tomorrow, Augustus, James and
Reuben will arrive from the country, and
then shall have my children together once
more ----.-.' --l---
The unhappy student replied not woroj
his feeling were too deep for utterance. The
''other little darlings" arrived. Reuben
was six years, James nine, and Augustus a
saucy boy of twelve. They were delighted
to hear they had new papa, because they
could now live at home, and have all the
playthings they wanted. The new papa, :"
as soon as he could speak, remarked that
Augustus and James did not much resemble
Reuben and Amelia.
"Wen, no, }" said the happy mother; my
first husband was quite different style of
man from my second complexion, temper
ament, the color of hair and eyes-all dit
ferent."
This was too much. He had not only
married widow, but was her third hus-
band, and the astonished stepfather of four
children. sf
But the fortune, thought he; that will
make amends He spoke of her fortune.
"These are my treasures" said she, in
the Roman matron style, pointing to her
children.

A CURSE TO THE COUNTRY.

Next to the inordinate use of intoxicating
beverages we may probably class the haste
to become rich as deplorable evil-the de-
sire and expectation of getting something
for nothing, or for very inadequate equiva-
lent, if we may use the word in such sense
which lead SO many of our youth to aban-
don trades in order to swell the crowds of
clerks, lawyers, doctors, &C., now and always
so largely in excess of the demand for their
services. A desire to be rich is not in itself
wrong, but the tendency is not to scruple at
the means, and to end in disgrace and ruin.
There are cases where young man is
justifable in getting into debt-there are
cases where few years of struggle with
Indebtedness may do him good-but these
are ''the exceptions which prove the rule
correct that debt is incompatible with inde-
pendence, and should be avoided. Borrow
ing money on interest is curse to any young
man, eating up his earnings and keeping
him poor The man who saves even few
dollars year, and invests it at interest,
will eventually become rich, whilst the one
who borrows to make up the deficit occa-
stoned by extravaganza, or venturlng beyond
his means, will undoubtedly struggle all his
life to keep his head above water.
Avoid speculation, mistrust all schemes
promising enormous returns, whether lotter-
les, faro banks, or more respectable modes
of gambling, be assured that any gains that
may accrue from them are more than lost by
the taste they give for inordinate risks 1t
you call to mind the lucky individuals who
have become wealthy in this way in the past
twenty years, you will find nearly all of them
poor now-the money has gone as rapidly as
it came, and is teaching the same lesson to
its present possessors A dollar earned by
honestindustry, mental or physical is worth
more to the man who earns it than tenfold
gained by speculation, and is not near so
likely to be expended foolishly or risked
recklessly He who can save such dollar
will more probably accumulate wealth in life
than the one without industry who makes
more money with less work 1t is deplora-
BILE how many of our young unmarr led men
waste their earnings in folly and dissipation,
and are to poor to get married or, if
they marry, have acquired such tastes and
habits as tend to render that relation any
thing but an agreeable one. There can be
no good reason for young lady and healthy
single man, having no one dependent upon
him, not saving something every year for in
vestment, and it is to be regretted SO few do
so,

THE POWER OF ELOQUENCE,

We have heard of President Finney
sermon from the text, "Their' feet shall
slide, and how as he preached his perora-
ton. people would clutch the seats to keep
from going over into the pit of eternal de-
spair, while some would shrek, and others
would cry "don't" We have heard also of
Coughs wonderful power over audiences
raising them up from their seats, affecting
them to tears, or compelling them to laugh
at his will But we have never heard of any
speaker making the deception so perfect, or
the matter so real, as in the recitation of
the little poem, Twenty years ago." by the
elocutionist, Prof Griffith. The poem in
troduces two friends and schoolmates, one of
whom has been recently visiting the old
homestead, school house and play grounds
and he gives his impressions to his friend
We quote few lines:
"I've wandered to the village, Tom, sat beneath
the tree,
Upon the school house playing ground, which
sheltered you and me
But mono were there to greet me, Tom, and few
were left to know
Who played with us upon the green, some twen-
ty years ago.
The grass was just as green, Tom, bare-footed
boys at play
Were sporting just as we did then, with spirits
just as gay;
But master sleeps upon the hill, which, coated
DER with snow,
Afforded us sliding place, just twenty years
ago."
When the elecutionist reached the stanza
following, his utteranee was slow and
thoughtful, as if trying to recall the anne
of the old game
"The boys were playing some old game-beneath
that same old tree,
-do-forget-the name-just now,-you've
played the same with me
On that saiue spot.-'1'was played with knives
by rowing-so-and-so-"
AS the speaker made gestures and mo-
tions describing the game, an old gentleman
in the back part of the house arose and said
distinctly, 'Mumblety peg, SIR, n,un,blety
peg" 1t was so real to the old man that
he thought he would help the speaker out
of his difficulty by suggesting the name.

A TRUE GENTLEMAN.

He is above mean thing He cannot
stoop to mean fraud. He inyades no Sc
cret in the keeping of another. He takes
selfish advantage of no mans mistake. lie
is ashamed of inuendoes He uses no igno-
BILE weapons in controversy. He never stabs
in the dark. He is not one thing to man s
face and another to his back. Ifby accident
he comes into possession Of his neighbor' S
counsels, he passes upon them instant obliv-
ion. He bears sealed packages without
tampering with the wax. Papers not meant
for his eye, whether they futter in at his
window or lie open before him in unregardcd
exposure, are sacred to him. He profanes
no privacy Of others, however the sentry
sleeps. Bolts and bars, locks and KEYS,
bonds and securities, notice to trespassers,
are not for him. He may be trusted out of
sight-near the thinnest partition-any-
where. He buys no office, he sells none, in
trigues for none. He would rather fail of
his rights than win them through dishonor.
He will eat honest bread. He tramples on
no sensitive feeling. He insults no man.
Ifhe has rebuke for another, he is straight
forward, open and manly. He cannot de-
scend to scurrility. Billingsgate don't lie on
his track. Ofwoman, and to her, he speaks
with decency and respect. In short, what
ever he judges honorable he practices to-
ward every man.

THE SUNNY SIDE.

We advise everybody to live on the sunny
side of their houses. The room In which the
family spends most of its time should be on
the side on which the sun can find its way
into it. Let the parlor, if it be seldom used,
be on the shady side. We observe that there
is not cottager so ignorant that she will not
set her plants, if she has taste enough to
grow them, in the east window in the morn
ing and at noon carry them to a south win
dow, and in the afternoon put them in the
west window. But perhaps she is careful
to keep her children in the shade, and her
precious self, so far as possible, out OF the
rays of the sun. The plants, in obedience
to natural law, are kept healthy, while the
children and mother, being kept In the
shade, suffer in consequence.
Light is beginning to be considered great
curative agent The chief advantage in 60
ing to the country is to get into the sunshine,
and to be in the pure breezes If we desire
merely to keep cool, we should stay in the
shady city. People talk of shot walls and
burning pavements - it is much hotter in
the country, for the breeZes that play there
in midday only bring heated air in from out
doors. But in the city the breeze brings
air in from the shady side of the street, and
the lower rooms of city house are much
cooler in midday than the exposed houses
of the country.
Parents can do nothing better for their pu-
ny, sick boys than to put them on farm for
two or three summers, and let the sun bathe
them the livelong day. They will, BY such
a life, grow rapidly, and become tough,
brawny and broad. We have seen this tried
to the highest advantage in more than one
instance under our advice
