Gems Of Thought.

The belief that guardian spirits hoveraround
the paths Of men covers a mighty truth for
every beautiful, pure and good thought, which
the heart holds, is an angel Of mercy, purify
ing and guarding the soul.
One occupation is precisely as creditable in
itself, and as commendable 10 its industrious
pursuer as another, provided it be honorable,
and in perfect harmony with the laws of God
and man. 1t is the man that ennobles the &C.
cupaton. not the occupation that diguiies tho
man.
Labor is labor, whether performed IN tho
field or the workshops or behind thecounter or
in study. Honesty aud honorable labor arc
the same; whether performed by tie king or
the peasant, by the priest or laynan.
Every soul will, in its fulluess Of time, find
the true object of its undying desires. aud its
vague longings will for ever be sati' fed. Rest,
o, mortal in this sublime faith OF thy eternal
destiny, and let it purify thy present life, aud
solace thee under the manifold afflictions that
darken around thy mortal life.

Josh Billings on Bed Bugs.

never seen ennybody yet but what des-
pissed bed bugs. They are ,he meanest Nv aul
crawling, creeping hoping and h;eing things.
They daysent tackle man by daylite, but
sneaSing in after dark, and chaw him while
he is fast asleep.
A musketo will iite you in broad dayiite, a.
short range, and give you chance 'ew knock
in his sides-tho fea is a game bug, aud will
make dash at you even in Broadway-but
the bed bug is a garroter, who waits till you
strip aud then picks out mellow place to eat
you.
If was in the habit Nv swearing, wouldn't
hesitate tew damn bed bug right tew his
face.
Bed bugs are uncommon smart in small
way one pair wv them will stock hair mat
tress in weeks with bugs tew las, a small
family whole year.
], don't do emmy good TO pray when bugs
are in season; the only way to get nd NV them
is ;ew bile up the whole bed in aquafortis, and
then heave It away and buy new one.
Bed bugs. when they have grone aul they
intend to are about the size Of a.blue lays eye
and have brown complexion, and when.they
start out to garrotte are as thin as a grease
spot, but when they git thru garro,ing they
are sweled up like a blister.
1t takes them days tew git the swelling
out Nv them.
If bed bugs have emmy destiny to ill, I;
must be THAR stummuks, but il seems tew me
that they must have been made by acksident,
Just as sivvers are, tew stick into sumboddy.
If they was got up for sum wise purpose
they must have took the wrong road, for
there kant be emmy wisdom in chawing man
aul mite long and raising a family besides. to
fOller the same trade.
If there is sum wslum in aul this, hopo
the bugs will ehaw them folks who kan see it,
aud let me be, bekause am one Of the here
ticks.

Radical Doctrine.

An Arkansas paper says:
1t is reported that a gentleman, Democrat,
living in the southern portion Of this county,
being desirous of illustrating the beauties OF
Radicalism, and testing the sincerity of its vo-
taries and advocates, invited certain Radical
to his house TO stay over night with him, and
at the same time invited man and brother "
to pass the night under his hosptable roof.
Bedtime arriving, our Democratic friend
touk light and conducted the brother " to
the room and pointed out the bed he was to
occupy. Soon after the Radical gentleman ~
desired to retire, aud our friend also conducted
him to the same room, and informed him that
be was to occupy the same bed.
"Who is in that bed ?" asked the Radical.
"Mr. -" was the answer.
"What, that ngger! y indignantly cried the
Radical; 'you don't think I'm going to sleep
with him, do your
Il most certainly DO" was the quiet reply.
" You voted to force this state Of affairs upon
me and my people, and took and subscribed
to an oath that you would grant the negro every
privilege and immunity " enjoyed by another
class of persons, and producing a six-shooterl
by the eternal you shall carry out your policy
so in there with you"
Mr.. Radical, not liking the close proximity
of the pistol, got into bed, but we don't think
he staid there till morning.
