WHEN I WAS A GIRL.

WHEN WAS A GIRL.
When was wee little slip of girl,
Too artless and young for prude,
The men, as would pass, would exclaim, ''prett,
dearp'
Which, must say, thought rather rude;
Rather rude, so did;
Which, I must say, thought rather rude
However, said l. when Pm once in my teens,
They'll sure cease to worry me then;
But as grew older, so they grew bolder-
Such impudent things are the men;
Are the men, are the men,
Such impudent things are the men.
But of all the bold things could ever suppose,
(Yet how could take it amiss?
Was that of my impudent cousin last night,
When he actually gave me kiss;
Ay, a kiss, SO he did,
When he actually gave me a kiss!
quickly reproved him. but ah, in such tones,
That ere we were half through the glen,
Ny anger to smother he gave me another
Such strange coaxing things are the men,
Are the men, are the men,
Such strange coaxing things are the men.

OVERTHROW OF STATE Governments SUM
NER DEFEATED; The following paragraph occurs
feel authorized to-day to give your readers some
news of very cheering character. The extreme
measures Of Mr.. Sumner, having in view the over
throw of the existing State Governments of ten un
represented States, and the other revolutionary
scheme of ignoring their existence by act of Con-
gress, in the matter of the constitutional amend
ment, have both failed to receive such support as
to justify even their presentation to the action of
caucus Of either House, much less of joint caucus

sensbly recommends boys to learn trade--not
that he should always work at ii, but he may have
it as reserve capital together with its influence in

A BEE TAllER-At the State Fair in Saratoga,
one OF the greatest attractions was great honey
bee monger, whose hat, while on his head, was
covered with bees, which appeared IKE small

were harmless flies They crawled all over his per-

Of them in his mouth and blew them out, and han

markable, they were strange bees, attracted from
the woods or from colonies in the country. I'm
mense crowds of people hung around him, contain
ually asking questions and purchasing the secret of
collecting bees from the forest, or robbing your
neighbors Of their busy workers by remaining qui-

his hat, and it was returned to his head, the buz-

B9-A despatch to the New York Tribune says
that the Emperor of Brazil has just liberated the
national slaves, the profits of whose labor belonged
to the Crown and large numbers of the freedmen,
we learn, have entered the army, and being for
warded in detachments to the seat of war; This
looks like the first step towards general emancipa-

Abolition party Of the Empire. This being the

NO BABY IN THE HOUSE.

No baby in the house, know
'Tis far too nice and clean:
No toys by careless fingers strewn
Upon the floor are seen.
No finger marks are on the panes,
No scratches on the chairs,
No wooden men set up in rows,
Or marshaled off in pairs;
No little stockings to be darned,
All ragged at the toes;
No pile Of mending to be done,
Made up of baby clothes;
No little troubles to be soothed,
No little bands to fold,
No grimy fingers to be washed,
No stories to be told;
No tender kisses to be given,
No nicknames, "Clove" and "Mouse;'
Nomerry frolics after tea-
No baby in the house.

A TERRIBLE FIRE.ARM.

The Government is now having made at Hart
ford, Conn.,, one hundred battery guns of new IN
vention. Fifty of them will have one-inch bore
and the balance one-halfinch bore. The gun is
quite curiosity to look at The main characteris-
tic OF this terrible weapon is that it has series of
barrels, with carrier and lock cylinder, rgidly
fastened to the main shaft, and retaining amuIta-
neously and continuously BY means Of acrank, the
cartridges being fed into the carrier from the feed
boxes, thence driven endwise into the rear ends Of
the barrels, then exploded, and the empty cartridge
case withdrawn, without any pause In the operation.
The ineessant loading and firing are produced by
the simplest kind of mechanism, there being less
parts about the gun than in the Springfield musket
Ihs gun can be discharged at the rate of two hun
dred shots per minute. One of its features is that
there is no recoil which can effect the accuracy Of
the aim: When the gun is once sighted at given
|o9ect, the same aim can be maintained at the will
|of the operator until thousands of discharges take
place. -, ! !.
A lateral train motion of the gun may be Kept

a section Of any circle within its range. AS there
Is no escape OF gas at the breach all the force of

of the very first importance in this gu1n, Il that
every cartridge must be either discharged or with.
drawn from the barrels, thus precuding such re-
suits as were shown on the battlefield Gettysburg
where, Of the %, ,574 muskets collected after the
battle, "a, 900 were found to be loaded, 1900 Of
them containing two loads each, and 5000 being
charged with from three to ten loads each, the cart
ridges oftentimes being loaded without breaking
thems and many inserted with the ball down first.
The gun is light and easily transported One eff
the sizes now being made at the armory discharges
$500 inch calibre balls, and weighs 225 pounds.
The other size discharges balls of one inch calbre
mime ounces in weight, and weighs between 500
and 600 pounds The first named has range of
about one mile and the latter upward of two miles

that--it evinces disposition to exercise

innumcrable nondescript daubs, manufactured

market The latest dodge appears to be to
have these daubs touched up by some unlucky
Americans who have dcspaired Of becoming
successful artists at home, but who still haunt
the old scenes Of their student life abroad, and
secretly ply this trade. Such productions may
Chen be invoiced as American works and come
In duty free.
AS wealth has increased and costly houses
have been multiplied in New York and in other
cities Of this country, the purchase Of pictures
has become fashionable among large classes Of
people who, quite unlike the inhabitants of
Athens in It's Paimiest days, were, unfortunately,
..os oofh and brought up in an atmosphere Of
art--who, in fact, lack even the rudimentary
knowledge Of art which Madame Caves

and who cannot distinguish between the really
fine pictures by foreign and by native artists,
which, by way Of exception, have lately been
sold here at auction, and the trash with which
