''IF. There is much virtue in yoar If.
If mar would do this or that or the 9th
er, why then-a and so on at iiyinit"n..
The last If we have seen going the rounds
is this: There are twenty millions of peo-
pie in the North. If each one of these
would destroy five cent note daily, itwould
amount to a million dollars in a day towards
the removal of the national debt II this
were done every day for year, it would di-
minish the debt by three hundred and SIX
ty-fve millions of dollars yearly, which IS
more than the whole internal revenue pro-
duces. We know man who thinks it is his
duty to burn five cent bill every day on
this account. 1t is less than the tax on a
glass of whisky" Now, If there had been
no debt there would have been no stamps.
IF there had been no stamps this idiouc
proposition would never have been made.
In short, if the moon were made of green
cheese it would be good to eat, you know!

Our DEsTINY.-It cannot be that earth
is man $ only abiding place. 1t cannot be
that our life is bubble cast up by the ocean
of eternity to float moment apon its waves
and sink into nothingness. Else why is 1t
the high and glorious aspirations, which
leap like angels from our hearts, are forever
wal dering unsatisfied? Why is it that the
rainbow and cloul come over us with a
beauty that is not Of the earth, and then
pass off to muse on their loveliness? Why
Is it that the stars which ''hold their festi-
val around the midnight throne" are set a
bove the grasp of our limited faculties, for
ever mocking us with their unapproachable
glory? And finally, why is it that bright
forms of human beauty are presented to our
view and taken from us; leaving the thou
sand streams of our affection to flow back
in an Alpine torrent upon our hearts? We
are born for higher destiny than that OF
earth. There is realm where the rainbow
never fades; where the stars will be spread
out before us like the islands that slumber
on the ocean, and where the beautiful be,
ings that pass before us like shadows, will
stay forever in our presence.

No baby in the house; 1 know

No toys by careless fingers strewn
Upon the floor are seen,
No fHger marks are on the Panes,
No scratches on the chairs,
No wooden men set up in rows,

No little stockings to be darned
All ragged at the toes,

No little hands to fold,

No stories to be told
No tender kisses to be given,
No nieknames, Love" and Mouse"
No merry frolics after tea

WoMAN-Mrs. Stevens, the sweet story
writer, has somewhere thrown off this excel
lent passage:
Woman, woman truly she is a miracle.
Place her amid flowers, foster her as tender
plant, and she is thing of fancy, way wardness
and something of tolly-annoyed by dew
drop, fettefed by the touch of a butterfly S
wing, ready to faint at the rustic of bee
tie. The zephyrs are too rough, the show
ers too heavy, and she is overpowered by
the perfume of rosebud. But let real
calamity come, rouse her affection, enkindle
the spirit OF her heart, and mark her then.
How her heart strengthens itself; how
strong is her purpose. Place her in the
heat of battle, give her child, bird, any
thing she loves OF pities, to protect, and see
her. as in related instance, raising her
white arms as shield, and as her own
blood crimsons her upturned forehead,
praying for life to protect the helpless.
Transplant her into the dark of the earth,
awaken her energies to action and her
breath becomes a healing and her presence
a blessing; she disputes inch by inch, the
stride of the stalking pestilence, when man.
the strong and brave shrinks away paie
and aff'righted Misfortune daunts her not;
she wears away a life of silent endurance, or
goes forward with less timidity than to her
bridal In prosperity she is bud full of
imprisoned odors, waiting but for the winds
of adverSity to scatter them abroad-pure
gold, valuable but untried in the furnace
In short, woman is a miracle, a mystery,

preacher inv ermont for shrewd and laughable
sayings In the pulpit he maintained a suit.
able gravity of manner and expressions and
out of the pulpit he overfowed with fun.
Occasionally he would, if emergency SEEM
ed to require, say something queer in SER
mon for the sake Of arotsing the tagging at
tention of his hearers Seeing that his au-
dience was getting asleep, he paused in his
discourse and discussed az follows:
Brethren, you haven't the least idea OF
the sufferings of our missionaries in the new
settlements, on account of the mosquitoes.
The mosquitoes in some of these regions
are enormous. A great many of them
weigh a pound, and they will get on the
logs and bark when the missionaries are 60
ing along"
By this time all ears and eyes were open,
and he proceeded to finish his discourse.
The next day one of his hearers called
him to account for telling lies in the pulpit.
'There never was mosquito that weigh
ed pound, he said.
but | didn't say one Of them would
weigh a pound. | said a great many, and l
think million of them would. -
But you said they barked at the mis-
sionaries.

after generation, says fine writer, Rave
felt as we now feel, and their lives were as
active as our own. They passed like va
por. while nature wore the same aspect of
beauty as when her Creator commanded her
to be. They will have the same attractions
for our offspring yet unborn, that she had
once for us as children Yet little while
and all will have happened The throbbing
heart will be stifed, and we shall be at rest.
Our funeral shall find its way, and prayers
will be said, and we shall be left alone in 81,
lence and in darkness for the worms: And
it may be, for short time we shall be spo-
ken of, but the things of life will creep in,
and our names wih soon be forgotten. Days
will continue to move on, and laughter and
song will be heard in the room in which we
died: and the eyes that mourned for US will
be dried, and glisten again with joy, and
even our children will cease to think of US
and will net remember to lisp our name.

Glyoerine and its Uses,

Inns article is among the comparatively
recent discoveries OF science. Glycerine, IN
pure state, is clear, colorless, syrupy flu
Id, OF very sweet taste, being the sweet
principle contained in oil and fatty bodies
Its first introduction into medical use was in
the year 1874, in the London Hospital. for
diseases of the skin; it keeps the same
moist and soft, and excludes the air with
out evaporation. The Russians apply it to
the face and ears as protection against in
tense cold, as 1t does not CONCEAL at any tenn
perature. In ophthalmie surgery, frequent
and extensive use is made of glycerine, also,
In certain conditions of deafness. 1t may
be used as an adjuvant to the bath, soften
ing the skin pleasantly, and has a high rep
utation as lotion for the complexion; but
for all these purposes it should be perfectly
pure. 1t was not known in pure state
until the discovery of Mr.. Tilghman, of
Philadelphia, patented in 1854 There are
two manufacturers who make the best and
purest article-one in London, and the 9TH
er, of equal celebrity in Philadelphia.
In the arts the uses of glycerinc are man
fold in keeping the coiors of organic bodies:
finished state At the museum of the Fac
ulty OF Medicine of Paris, glycerine has
been recently adopted as a preservative fluid
for flowers and fresh plants. Mr.. Tichborne
has thus kept flowers for two years, and
then made from them water, with per-
fume equal to that of the flowers OF the sea
son. Mustard may be kept for any length
of time by its admixture. Manufacturers
of chewing tobacco find it valuable in main
tanning the softness of their products while
imparting sweetness to the taste Frequent
attempts have been made to use glycerine
in the manufacture of toilet soaps, but with
out success until quite recent period, when
a very beautiful article has been produced.

THE ELDEST DAUGHTER AT HOME. To
be able to get dinner, to sweep the room,
to make garment, to tend a baby, would
add greatly to the list of young lady ac-
complishments. Where can we behold a
more lovely sight than the eldest daughter
of family, attending in the sweet simplicity
of her new womanhood, by the side of her
toiling, careworn mother, to relieve and
aid her? Now she presides at the table,
now diverts half score of little folks in the
library. She can assist her younger broth
ers in their sports, or the elder ones in their
studies; read the newspaper to her weary
father, or smooth the aching brow of her te-
vered mother Always ready with help
emergency. she is an angel of love and bless
ing to the home circle Should she be call
ed out of it to originate a home of her own,
would she be any less lovely or self-sacrif-
cling?

GEN, Grant to the President.

If there has heretofore been the least
uncertainty in the minds of any, relative
to the position Gen. Grant takes in re-
construction, and his views OF President
.Johnson's course, his letter to the latter
on the removal of Gen Sheridan must
di>sipate all such doubt.
We would like to call the attention OF
our readers to this straight forward, TN
equiyocal, and highly patriotic letter,
which we give elsewhere. And more es-
pecially as some of the democratic party
are talking of nominating Gen. Grant
tor the next presidency. The utter alb
Surdity of the party that voted the war a
failure and that denounced the butch
err, at the very time their would-be
nominee was marching at the mead OF the
army. into the contederacy, is too appa
rent for comment. Let all remember
that Gen. Grant wrote President John
son. before the order for the removal of
Gen. Sheridan was issued, that there were
''milta1y reasons, pecanoy reasons, ana
aJore oil, patriotic reasons rhy that orteI
MouM not be insisted 0n."

the republicans of Lyndon doing all they
can to insure successful election on that
day The republicans have a good
working majority in town and can elect
their ticket as well on the first ballot as
on the second or third-or perchance not
at all-if their men are at the polls and
determined to stand at their post. They
did we'll last year, let them do no worse
this. 1t becomes all true Unionists,-
men who ever had faith in the sold
Flag" and exhibited willingness to de-
tend it against traitors and treason South
and North. and who to-day believe that
our whole country should be governed by
true and loyal men,-to manifest that
belief by doing their duty at the ballot
box, and electing men TO represent us III
the Legislature whose record Is unspot-
tel and clean. Let us then be in earnest,
act like men in the work, and not allow
ourselves to be defeated by a half dozen
votes, or even be content with two OF
three majority, with thirty republican
voters at home or absent from the polls :.
1t doesn't bespeak an earnestness, live
", wide-awake interest iii political mat
tiers, such as every true Nermonter, every
loyal American, should feel and exhibit

cause, and success is sure.
