The Happy Man.

"I noticed" said franklin, "a me-
chanic among a number of Others, at
work in house erected but little way
from my office, who always appeared
to be in merry humor, who had a
kind word and cheerful smile for every
one he met. Let the day be ever so
cold, gloomy, or sunless, a happy smile
danced sunbeam on his cheerful
countenance. Meeting him one morn
ing, I asked him to tell me the secret
of his constant happy flow of spirits.
NO secret, Doctor he replied, 4 have
got one of the best of wives, and when
1 go to work she has always word of
encouragement for me, and when l go
home she meets me with a kiss; and
she is sure to be ready, and she has
done many things during the day to
please me, that l cannot find it in my
heart to speak unkind to anybody
What influence, then, hath woman
over the heart of man, to soften it and
make it the fountain of cheerful and
pure emotions? Speak gently then; a
happy smile and kind word of greet
ing, after the tolls Of the day are over,
cost nothing, and 60 far towards maxi
ing a home happy and peaceful"

A PRACTICAL JoKE.-During the
late war, while the Army of Tennes-
see, under Gen. Johnston, lay encanip-
ed near Dalton, the following rich
scene occurred There was a very
popular dealer in newspapers there, a
perfect Brobdignab in size, rivaling
Daniel Lambert in rotundity of stom-
ach. A regiment was there about to
leave for Mobile, and our massive
friend had some business to transact
with the Colonel. So, putting and
blowing, he came up few minutes
before the train started. As he came
up a soldier spicd him, and called out
-"Boys, here he is" Instantly the
whole regiment was on the alert, and
shout after shout went up-"Here he
is, here he isr' Looking, dumbfound-
ed, the fat man said: "What's up,
gentlemen? What have l done ?''
"You're the very man that stole our
big drum and swallowed it"-went up
simultaneously. Struck with surprise
he did not know whether to laugh OF
get mad, but finally said :-"Well,
boys, if you'll stay till evening Tll
eat you"

Take Your Time.


A gentleman visiting the family of
of worthy deacon in a neighboring
town, had been showing the children
one evening, beautiful musical box,
after which he wound up and put the
instrument in his pocket. AT the hour
of retiring for the night, the visitor
was called upon for prayer, and
having got upon his knees, was in the
midst of what promised to be a some
what prolonged petition, when suddenly
in consequence of change of position
on the part of the suppliant, the mus
ical box started gayly off with the
tune, "Take your time, Miss Lucy"
To say that the prayer was brought to
a rather abrupt termination, and that
even the deacon rose from his knees all
but convulsed with laughter, is draw
ing the effect of the incident quite
mildly. .-.....,

THE EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS.
Major General Buffers RepOrt..'Generai
Grants Order Suspending Exchange.

New York, August THE Tri-
bune publishes Buffers report, as Com
missioner of Exchange during por-
ton of the rebellion, from which it
appears that in December, 1863, he
found the Confederate Generals anx-
ious to exchange man for man, but the
Confederate government refused to
treat with General Butler on the ground
that he commanded negro troops.
Notification to that effect was sent to
our government, which refused to ad-
nit the right of the Confederate au-
thorities to outlaw our officers. Ex-
changes continued till March, 1864,
when General Butler had an interview
with Commissioner Ould which con-
WINGED him that retaliation would
compel the rebels to abandon their
refusal to exchange colored soldiers.
The government was informed of these
facts, and referred the matter to Gen.
Grant, who in April directed Butler
to decline until otherwise ordered, all
further negotiations, and shortly after
instructed him to consider the determi-
nation of the rebels to make a distinc-
ton between white and colored pris-
oners as refusal on their part to agree
to further exchange. Butler was also
instructed to receive all the sick and
wounded the rebels would give up,
but to send no more in exchange.
In August the rebels offered to re-
new the exchange man for man. Gen.
Grant then telegraphed the following
important order: at is hard on our
men held in Southern prisons not to
exchange them, but it is humanity to
those left in the ranks to fight our bat
ties. Every man released on parole,
or otherwise, becomes an active soldier
against us at once, directly or indirect
ly. If we commence system of ex-
change, which liberates all prisoners
taken, we will have to fight on until
the South is exterminated. five hold
those caught, they amount to no more
than dead men. At this particular
time to release all rebel prisoners North
would insure Sherman's defeat, and
would compromise our safety here"

ANTIQUATED LEATHER.-A prom
inent leather dealer of Philadelphia
recently sold two sides of leather,
weighing one hundred and two pounds,
at fifty cents per pound, amounting to
fifty-six dollars and ten cents. This
leather is the hide of an extra fattcd
OK, which was killed at one of the
barbacues preceding the election of
General Harrison to the Presidency,
about twenty-five years ago. 1t was
originally tanned for betting purposes,
but being remarkably good pattern
hide, and extra we'll tanned, it was
kept many years as a specimen. BY
frequent oiling it has been kept in a
fine state of preservation, and is now
as soft and pliable as when first tanned.
The purchaser will use it for pump
valves for a mine in Pennsylvania.

be to have a naval depot at Fejee
into which IL could go, and have its wants
supplied" True, some might reply that TINS
is not unlike the argument of ''Mrs. Toodles"
when she bought the door-plate with "Thomp-
SOM marked on IT, We freely grant, If
such thing should happen, how important
IL would be to have such port, but the chances
are against such an event happening. But
we do not dare to raise our voice against the
doctrine of national destiny" and have only
to advise Mr.. Seward to acquire Honolulu or
Borneo, or Robinson Crusoe's Island, or any
other he can get hold of, They may be
needed in the event of war with the King of
the Feiees, or with Chill, or some other great
power in the Pacific. As it is, we anticipate,
as soon as General McCook arrives at Wash
iDgton, to have to call the toiletless natives of
Honolulu, as well as the greasy residents Of
Alaska, "fellow citizens Of the United States"
We only hope, however, that Mr.. Stanbery
will not say it is unconstitutional for Congress
to insist on sumptuary laws, and demand that
the delegate from Fejee shall assume full
dress more elaborate than that of thei native
court, which, we are told, consists of an Ame-
rican collar and pair of spurs.

Another Rebellion in the Celestial
Realm.

The foreign agents of the Associated Press must
have a high appreciation of the general in
formation of the reading public of the United
States. They seem to take it for granted that
we know all the details of any movement up
to the present moment, and take up the thread
Of the narrative as though we had just left
off discussing the previous portion. Thus, to-
day we have the intelligence that 'the Chinese
rebels are meeting with success, and SEEM
ingly threaten Pekin." Now, this is the first
information we have had of the existence of a
rebellion in the Celestial Empire, unless,
indeed, the present effort is the old one, which
we had thought subdued over a year ago. We
rather think, however, that this is something
new, as rebellions in the realm of the ''Child
of the Sun" are continually budding forth.
We suppose that this attempt has been occa-
stoned by as grave a cause as the great revolt
last year. AT that time the Emperor, with a
heedlessness which argued i'll for his intelli-
gence, positively conferred the right to wear
peacock feather with two eyes on his Chief
Home Secretary, and gave his Secretary of
War, of unpronounceable name, the right to
wear only two feathers, each with one eye.
The consequences of so dire an insult were at
once apparent. The excitement when Queen
Elizabeth struck Essex, or when Richard
OF Gloster turned his back on Bucking-
ham, can but feebly compare with this por-
tentous insult. The sighted officer at once
challenged the whole Cabinet to the cheerful
amusement of hari- kari, and as an accumula-
ton of horrors, included the great uncle of
the "Child of the SUM- in the challenge. Of
course, this could not be borne by Gun
peror, and the result was civil war. After a
contest of nearly eighteen months, in which
at least forty thousand lives were lost, the
statesman who had two feathers each with
one eye, restored peace to the realm by imi-
tating Iscariot Brutus, and shuflng off this
mortal coil. Such was the history of the
causes of the last rebellion, and now we fear
that yet more dire insult has been perpe-
trated by his Highness. Can it be that in his
rashness he has given to some favorite a
feather with three eyes? If so, we tremble
for the consequences. Pekin may have fallen,
and the insult be avenged in the destruction of
the capital. We think it due to humanity
that Mr.. Seward should interfere, and suggest
that he communicate with the Chinese Secre-
tary proposition for permanent peace, en-
bracing as a new feature the plucl1ing out OF
the tail of every peacock every feather with
more than one eye. Thus only can peace be
maintained.
