SATURDAY NIGHT.

Somebody gets off the following
beautiful paragraph OF the closing
night of the week. There is a volume
of truth in it !:
Saturday night makes people human !,
sets their hearts to beating softly, as
they used to before the world turned
them into war drums and jared them to
pieces with tattoos. The ledger closes
with clash, the iron-doored vatlts
come to with bang up go the shut
ters with will click goes the key in
the lock. 1t is Saturday night and bu-
siness breathes free again. Homeward,
ho The door that has been aiar all
week gently closes behind him; the
world is all shut out. Here are his
treasures, after all and not in the vault
and not in the book-saye the record in
the old family Bible--and not in the
bank.
May be you are bachelor, frosty and
forty. Then, poor fellow. Saturday
night is nothing to you, Just as you are
nothing to anybody. Get wife, blue
eyed, or black-eyed, but above all true
eyed get little home, no matter how
little, aud a little sofa, just to hold
two or two and half in it of Satur-
day night, and then read this para

MULES.

The Maine Farmer say S il is everywhere
conceded that mules are the strongest
animals for their size, will endure the
most hard work, and get along with the
least to eat or drink of any animal We
use for work. The almost universal
impression that mules are vicious, is
really unfounded, and the general ex-
perience received from the use of tens
of thousands of mules in the army DUR
ing the late war, is that one seldom
kicks or has any vice that has not been
taught them. 1t is the same with mules
as with horses, they are ofa,l qualities
from bad to good, and in selecting one,
lfjudgment is used, good animal can
be obtained, one of intelligence and
easily taught, and also one possessing
other qualities. In selecting an animal
beware oflong-legged, slab-sided, small
bellied mules--they are not reliable
Choose one that resembles the best
brood mares in. shape of body OF barrel,
they have endurance and are easily
kept. A good, high bred mule, will car,
ry high head, with ears in motion, and
is quick to see and hear. The legs OF
the mule should be broad and thin, with
joints large III proportion to the size OF
their legs. -

PRETTY sTANZAs.

Leaf by leaf the roses fall
Drop by drop the springs run dry;
One by one beyond recall,
Summer beauties fade and die;
But the roses bloom again,
And the spring will gush anew,
In the pleasant April rain
And the Summer sun and dew.
SO, in hours Of deepest gloom,
When the springs of gladness fall,
And the roses in the bloom
Droop like maidens wan and pale,
We shall find some hope that lies
Like silent gem apart,
Hiden far from careless eyes
In the garden of the heart.
Some sweet hope to gladness wed,
That will spring afresh and new,
When griefs winter shall have fed,
Giving place to rain and dew
Some sweet hope that breathes of Spring,
Through the weary, weary time,
Budding forth its blossoming,
In the spirits glorious cline.

Smith. Thanks; meat is down lit

Jones. 1t was awfully dear.
Robinson. Fancy, from twenty-five
to thirty cents pound!
Old Lady. Seems like eating money,
almost, doesn't it?
Smith. It's still very high.
Robinson. Worse than venison-
sometimes in more senses than one.
Old Lady (suppressing a titter). Now
go along with you!
Brown. We must get beef and NUT
ton from South America, and from Aus
tralia.
Jones. The antipodes to beef and
mutton. General cries of "Oh.'1
Smith. Who knows what we may
come to-horse, perhaps.
Old Lady. Ugh!
Smith. They say it is very good; the
French are taking to it.
Old Lady. Nasty, dirty, horrid crea-
lures But there we know that they'll
eat anything.
Briggs. What have they left of
frogs? Because frogs are scarce, have
they taken to horse
Jones. Cats'-and dogs'-meat.
Ladies. Shocking I!
Smith. Oh, but some Of our fellows
have eaten it, and think it capital. They
dined the other day with a French hip
pophagist, and ate nothing but horse.
Brown. Except potatoes.
Smith. Except potatoes, which we're
dshed in hofse-oil.
Old Lady. Yah! 1t really makes
me feel quite i'll.
Briggs. Take little drop of brandy
ma am.
Smith. It's funny enough, though
eating horse. They might both ea'
horse and talk it. Fancy one saying tC
the other, ssHow do youlike your roast
chestnut ?"
Jones. Yes, and the conversation
passing from horse-steaks to sweep
stakes.
Robinson. And back again to saddle
of horse.
Smith. There would be two ways OF
discussing the favorite.
Robinson. And of horse being in
for the plate.
Jones. Do they make mares tai
soup?
Brown. Have they any horse-veal?
Smith. AS calf is to veal, so would
colt be to what?
Robinson. Perhaps we should say
foal-foal outlets.
Jones. Chump end; kidney end ofs
1oin of foal.
1st Young Lady. The idea
2nd Young Lady. Perfectly disgust
ing
Smith. Fillet of foal.
Jones. Fillet of filly.
Brown. Well, gentlemen, this is all
very we'll; but how are you to get cheap
horse The high mettled racer may go
to the hounds g-cheap in his old age
but prime horse-flesh would be an ex-
penslve article. 1t would be cheaper
to eat an OK than horse, say, warrant
ed to 60 quiet in harness.
Smith. Yes, but the fact is that
horse past work is not therefore past
eating. Up to a certain age he will fat
ten for the table. Then lots of horses,
disabled by accident, are younga heal
thy. If horse-fiesh were popular. there
is one thing which alone would make it
cheap.
Brown. What's thGt?
Smith. Russ pavement, which ruins
the horses. Often in one moment re-
duces a horse from $500 in value to the
price of his carcase.
Robinson. For that and all such
horse-killing pavements, thank the
Common Council. Scene closes.

Indignaiion Meeting in Braxton
Eouuty.

At large and enthusiastic meeting OF
the citizens of BraIton county, lrre-
spective of party or rpOlitical Affiliations,
held at the Court House, on the 18th
INST, an organization was effected by
appointing VIM. II. Perkins, Esq, Pres
ident, and G. F. Taylor Secretary, when,
after a brief explanation of the object
of the meeting by the Secretary, the
President appointed a committee OF
four 10 draft resolutions expressive OF
the sense of the meeting. Thereupon
said committee retired, and, after a
short absence, submitted the following,
which was unanimously approved:
WHEREAS, We, the citizens of BraX-
ton county, feeling that our confidence
has been Shamefully abused, the repu-
tation of the county seriously impaired
aud the general interest of the people
ruinously sacrificed, by the unprecedent-
ed and suicidal course pursued by the
misguided and feeble delegate to the
Legislature from this county; therefore
be it
RESOLVED, That we earnestly and ur-
gently request and insist that he imme-
diately resign q position in which he
has signally failed to represent the IN
terest of solitary individual in this
county.
ResOlred, That the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the Daily and

ISTER aud also in the Weston ETpOs'tor.

From the Cincinnati Commercial
a Gushing Governor.

1t is pleasant to know that there beats
in the bosom of the Governor of the
great State of Illinois truly loyal
heart--a heart quick to respond to the
calls Of patriotism, and ready to receive
as many pixies as the AuStrians thrust
through the body of the hero of Sem
pach, if thereby path of safety may
be opened to endangered liberty and an
imperiled county.
This heart belongs to Oglesby, the i'm
petuous but patriotic, and while its pull
sations were Quickened by the intelli-
gence from Washington that the Pres
ident had determined-in reprehensi-
bly, summary manner, dOubtless-to test
the question of the constitutionality of
the Tenure of Office Law, making up the
case by removing Stanton and ordering
Thomas to duty as Secretary of War dd
interim, the ever-reliab!e Oglesby hui
ried off dispatch to Congress, assuring
that body that the usurpationS of A. D..
had created a profound sensation
in his State, pronoupclng his
| last act the act of n traitor,
demanding that his treason shall be
checked, and urging Congress to pro-
ceed with the impeachment of this pre-
sumptuous demagogue Immediately. He
is satisfied that Congress will proceed
"wisely and cautiouSly'-that, Us all the
couRtry knows, being its inveterate hab-
| it of late He is only solicitOus that it
shall proceed. millions of loyal hearts, y
exclaims the enthusiastic Governor,
"are painting to stand by the stars and
stripes" We do not doubt the histor-
ical and physiological accuracy of this
statement, though, were we disposed to
be hypercritical, we might take excep-
tions to the aptness of the rhetorical
figure of painting hearts standing byany
thing. But we are only curious to
know what OH earth there is to prevent
these numerous hearts from standing by
the stars and stripes as long, as devoted
ly, rs firmly, and as proudly now as
ever! What's to hinderi For that
matter, were they to form a phalanx
more compact than Greoian around the
War Office, they would find the stars
and stripes there, whether Stanton or
Thomas were the incumbents. At east
end and west end of the Capital, they
would find the same flag to stand by,
and We do not suppose either President,
or Congress, or Cabinet Minister, or un.
der secretary, or clerk, would offer the
least objection to any demonstration of
devotion to the stars and stripes that
those millions of hearts might make,
standing or sitting.
Governor Oglesby ought to under
stand that this sort of gascOnade is as
! ill-timed as il is in bad taste. 1t deps
not become the Governor of great
Commonwealth to indulge in bunkum,
if the occasion has the gravity which
he affects or believes it to have. Leave
that TO the politicians. The country
rates it at its true value. Nobody
doubts that were the flag in real peril.
million of Inen would spring forward
to rescue it, as they did when treason in
arms assailed and tore it down. But it
it is not ins uch peril, aud neither 0gles-
by's advice nor assistance are in inl-
mediate demand.

Oh all hands, yesterday, that the dis
agrecmrnt At Washington was losing
its tclIigercnt character and that the
attcmpt of the fanatics III Congress to
produce national sensation was bald
failure.
The common sense of the country
saw clearly that there was no step con-

any solution of the pending difficulty
save through the Supreme Court. With
such tribnnal, ready and able to settle
the case. and with an immediate appeal
thereto in preparation, all warlike

this frantic display, by the Legislature,
Of its fidelity to Congress, even Hnto

There has been sn impression among ma
ny people, that the President was Com
mGndrr-in- Chief of the land and naval
forces. aud that upon him devOlved the
duty of executing the laws of the coun-
try. We believe that the grounds upon
which the impression was based still
remain, aud without some change
Ia the law Of the case we do
not see how the valorous protes-
tat'ons Of the Legislature can take
practicable shape. To be sure revO-
luton might be inaugurated through
which Congress could try to exercise
lie functions of the Executive in re-
gard to military movements, but the
Legislature is too thoroughly "loyap to
contemplate anything of that sort.
