How TO CATCH RATs.-For catching
rats in cheap and effectual manner,
the following is recommended: Cover q
common flour barrel with stiff, stout pa
per, tying the edges around the barrel {;
place board so that the rats may have
easy access to the top sprinkle cheese
parings or other feed" for the rats on
the paper for several days, until they be-
gin to think they have right to their
daily rations from this source. Then
place in the bottom of the barrel piece
>of rock about six or seven inches high,
filling with water until only enoughlof
Of it projects above the water for one rat
to lodge upon. Now replace the paper,
the first rat that comes on the top goes
through into the water and climbs upon
the rock. The paper comes back to its
place, and the second rat follows the first.
Then begins fight for the possession of
the dry place on the stone, the noise Of
which attracts the rest, who share the
same fate.

the departments Of the Government.
Congress, in these so.called Reconstr6c-
ton Acts, in time of profound peace,
nearly two years after the last hostile
arm had been raised, and long after it,
by its own Legislation, recognized the
war as ended, subordinated the civil to
the military power, suspended the ha6eas
corpus, struck down the trial by jury,
declared all civil government at an end,
and in all things civil and political, SUBJ
stituted its will and orders, and the
will and orders of its agents, for the will
and the acts of the people themselves.
1t can impeach the Chief Executive Mag
istrate, elected by the people, without
cause, or because he is an obstruction in
it's onward march to power. 1t can with
draw the authority from the Supreme
Court to question any act of outrage
committed by its servants on any Of the
people of the South. In short, it is al
most omnipotent, or seems to be so. But
there is one appeal left. Presidents,
Courts, States and citizens may be strick-
en- down by those in power, but the ser.
want is not above his master;. he has to
retire after q term from these halls, and
give an account of his stewardship to
those who sent him. The majority here
will then find before that court Of last
resort, that all their acts-will be reversed
and annulled; that the Constitution is
still the supreme law that all their do
ings here are known and disapproved
that this is white mans Government
and because they have sought to subvert
it, they have been weighed in the balances
and found wanting The writing is
upon the wall, the Meme, meme, tekel up
harsin, is seen and understood; and the
guilty Belshazzar did not tremble more
at the recorded verdict of offended Heav
en-, than do the radical leaders now, wher
called to face an indignant and outraged
people, whose trusts they have betrayed
whose liberties they have sought to sub
vert, and whose rights they have tram
pied under foot, in violation Of theil
known and expressed will.
The people will take the matter into
their own hands. They will want tc
know why ten States of this Union are
kept under q military despotism and pre-
vented from contributing their share to
ward the revenue of the country. They
will want to know why millions of white
people are disfranchised and millions o
dollars are taken out of the Treasury
for the purpose Of holding them in armed

Where crowns are given. Father take my hand

~, IIABENr. AND FAor.Talentissomething
but tact is everything. Talent is serious,
sober, grave, and respectable; tact is all
that, and more too. lt is not a sixth
sense, but it is the life. of all the FIVE. 1t
is the open eye, the quick ear, the judg-
ing taste, the keen smell, and the lively
touch; it is the interpreter of all riddles,
the surmounter of the difficulties, the re-
mover of all obstacles: 1t is useful in
all places and at all times it is useful
in solitude, for it shows man his way
into the world; it is useful in society,
for it shows him his way through the
world. Talent is power, tact is skill !;

Good Digestion.

A foreign reviewer thinks that the adj
vantages of good digestion cannot be
ovcrestimated. He sayss -
"Men who succeed need not have any
subtle minds, or brilliant imaginations,
or marvellous powers cf industry. Some
industry, some Imagination, and some
acuteness. are, doubtless, Indispensable.
But the one indispensable factor is good
digestion. The laborious man or the in
dustrious man is often of an atrabilions
temperament, gloomy and austere; or he
is nervous, 6dgetty, anxious and fretful.
In neither case is he successful. He may
consume gallons of midnight oil on some
very clever or very learned book, but
after being three weeks lion, he will
himself be supplanted in the homage of So
ciety by his own book, or by some sharp,
quick -wi:ted, of:hand spark, who picks
his brains. repeats his sayings, appropri,
ates his facts or his inferepces, and gains
all the credit that is really due to- the
genius and industry of a discontented
dyspeptic. Who is the successful man I?
The man with good stomach, ample
barrel, broad face, glowing cheeks, and a
ruddy smile, which may denote good hu-
NOR, sympathy, or perfect Indifference.
Who does not know the capital good fel-
low OF society, with his rosy gills, habitual
smile, and white teeth, his little inuen.
does, and his significant looks, indicating
that he knows your latest secret and last
formed plans2"
