DOfiBTING.

oh is there life when we go hence;
life of veal or woe7
Alas no one has e'er returned from thence
To tell US this is so
Are frail mortals plodding on
To some uncertain fate,
With nothing sure to base upon
About that '.futare state2"
They talk Of mansions in the Skies"
And streets Of "shining gold"
Where tears are wiped FROM weeping eyes"
And rapturous joys unfold.
They tell Of "never ending bliss
ofjoys that 'never Gie,''
In some "bright world" afar from this
Where neer is heard a sigh.
They speak Of bands in 'spotIess white"
Who everlasting sing
Rapt anthems in perpetual light
Before their God and King.
They say that all is fragrance there;
That flowers never fade;
That faces all do sunshine wear
Without tinge of shade.
That we shall meet the "loved and lost"
Embrace them in that cline
No more by angry surges tossed
As in this "gulf of time
No more parting; no more pain
Uaited there forerer-
No grief; no calej no sinful staiHj
Ne deatEiy hand to sever.
Can this be 500, tell me, SOUL!
I now appeal to thee;
Disperse the clouds that marky ron
And make it clear to me.
Is there for "weary souls" a rest,
An Immortality,
Where thou shalt be "supremcly Jiest7
Through all ErERSIrY?
Oh tell me shall VIC lire fore'er--
0, SOUL shirk not the test;
Forestall this bitter briuy tear
And hearken this request!
Say have they told me truly, SOIL,
About that golden land,
Where chants in endless chorus ro-
And saints immortal stand?
Oh ! mortal / iriH aHs,oer plain
"T1ere is home on high
Where Spring keeps up a eeaseless reign,
Where shall neoer die.

EASILY SUITED. other day young
gentlemen from the country stepped into
Lands Jewelry store in Shippensburg, and
informed the proprietor that his occupation
was that of carpenter, and he desired to
get a bosom pin emblematical of that pro-
fession. The obliging jeweller looked over
his stock, and finding nothing else, showed
him very fine masonic pin. The young
man looked at it carefully yes, he said,
'that is it. There is the compass and the
square; I use both Of them, but why didn'
they put a saw in it? It's first rate as far
as it goes. Hellow! there G there, what
does that stand for?'
The jeweler didn't know.
The man studied it carefully for moment,
and bright thought struck him. His face
flashed as if he had made discovery.
Il have it, he saidi it's all right; G
stands for gimlet. That viii do. I'll take
it. .
There was little touch of sadness in his
voice as he pinned the emblem on his coat
and went away muttering:
Square, compass and gimlet. lido wish
there was a saw, though.

KING THEODORE, it is stated, advised his
captains to attack the British by night, but
they declined, and descended to their deaths
by daylight. Had they obeyed, they would
have had new proof of the power which
science can bring to bear in aid Of slaughter.
Sir Robert Napier had with him an appar-
atus for employing the magnesium light on
grand scale. AT distance Of 600 yards
bewildering blaze of light world have been
thrown into the eyes of the Abysinians,
and the British, themselves in impenetrable
shadow, would have shot down their enc
mics at leisure.

Hon REyERDY JoHNsoN's S appointment
as Minister to England, apparently, gives
great satisfaction in that country, judging
from the fattering reception with which the
announcement has been received by the Lon
don press. The Times says that no envoy
could be sent that would be hailed with more
confidence as the honored spokesman of a
great nation His intellect is admirably
trained to discuss the pending or probable
issues with precision, impartiality, dignity of
character, breadth of learning and charm of
manner" The Daily Neacs says that the
long experience and training of Mr.. John
sen guarantees that he viii represent the
United States as whole, and not section
ally. Our Washington dispatches state
that the principal object of Mr.. Johnson's
mission viii be the settlement of the Ala
bama claims, and that he viii leave for his
new field of duty about the middle of July.
1t is announced that no change is to be made
in the Secretaries obligation. Bad. A11e-.

A PLUcKY old fellow whose SON was stu.
dent at one of our New England colleges,
spent the day with him and stopped to tea
When his cup-was filed he seized bowl of
salt, which he supposed to be sugar, and put
the usual quantity in his tea. Sly glances
and suppressed ''snickering' led him to sus-
peet that something was wrong, but the old
fellow, who didn't liked to be laughed at,
worried it down, and putting on face that
was intended to make everybody think that
he liked his ''dose of Salts" he called for
another cup, and upon receiving it, said to the
head snickerer sly oung man, will you be
kind enough to pass that bowl of salt?n The
salt was passed, and amid the most breath
less silence, he dipped couple of spoonfuIs
into his tea, stirred it up, and tasted it with
look of apparent satisfaction. nWhy, Mr..
-" said the young man opposite to him,
'do you drink salt in your tea?'' "Always,"
answered the old man, with great emphasis,
and in his pleasantest manner.

THE BENEFITS OF USING TEA.-The
Boston Journal Of Chemistry publishes
lengthy article on the properties of tea, in
the course of which the wliter says that it is
no matter of wonder with him that the
brain-workers, in all the years since tea was
introduced, have regarded it with highest
favor. 1t has power TO subdue irritabili-
ty, refresh the spirits, and renew the ener-
gies, such as is possessed by no other agent.
When the system Of man is exhausted by
labor or study a cup of tea re-invigorates
and restores as no other form Of food or bev-
erage can. He thinks it promotiye of lon
gevity, and adds:
Tea saves food by lessening the waste of
the body, soothes the vascular system, and
affords stimulus to the brain. The young
do not need it, and it is worthy of note that
they do not crave or like it. Children will
frequently ask for coffee, but sellom for tea.
To aged people whose powers of digestion
and whose bodily substance have to fail to-
gether, it is almost necessity"

PERFECT PRINTING.

Some people of extremely sensitive per-
ceptions are made nervous by a Topographic
cal error in their newspaper. They regard
the printer as a machine whose fingers should
be made of steel and whose physical condi-
ton should be always perfect, and accord
ingIy they expect perfection, nothing less,
as the result of his labors. A wrong letter
makes them fdgetty-an ''out" or 'doub-
let" throws them into conyulsions of rage
and disgust. Now we beg leave to say to
any of our readers who may possess such an
extremity Of sensitiveness, that perfectionin
typography is rarely, if ever attained, and in
proof of the statement, submit the following
which VIC clip from late foreign paper:
II has been doubted whether an absolute
ly perfect copy of classical author has ever
been printed A wealthy amateur tried to
max perfect copy Of Os Luciados, Of
Carnoens aud, with the aid of the accom-
plishcd printer, Didot, got UP a magnificent
edition of it at an enormous expense, which
was not to contain single error. All
thought that he had succeeded, but when
TIE book was printed, an error was dlscoV-
cred in some of the copies, by one of the let
ters Of the word luzituno being displaced by
some accident while working the sheets.
The same experiment was made by fa-
nous firm in Glasgow Every precaution
was taken to procure typographical accura-
CT. Six experienced proof readers were
employed, who devoted many hours to each
page, and when they had done with it, it
was posted up in the hall Of the university,
with notice offering reward of fifty
pounds to any person who discovered an er-
ror. Each page was thus posted for two
weeks before it went to press. No error
was discovered but when the work was
printed, several errors were detected. one of
which was in the first line of the first page.

OF this medicine ceased vomiting gradually
all soreness passed away, and flesh and strength
returned, and ever since have been able to eat
any KIND OF food set upon the table, SIx
months have now passed without any symp-

was considered by al, even PHYSICIANS so
marvellous, that for time it was feared it

convinced, that have been not merely relev-
