A WoNpERruL TRruMrH OF ARr@Tte

A WONDERFUL TRIUMPH OF ARr.-Tte g
Funeral Pageant OF Nspoleonl Bonapsrtes' .
which was exhibited in this country some
years ago, attracted universal attention,
and was pronounced a marvel of beauty,
but this dioramic display seems insignifi-
ant when compared with the work now in
the possession of the Lincoln Dioramic
Association. The Diorama of the Funeral
Obsequies of Abraham Lincoln exhibits by
movable figures and panoramic views, the
entire obsequies of President Lincoln,
from the time the body left the Presidential
mansion, at Washington, until the close at
Springfield, Illinois. The whole affair
is true to lite, exactly as it occur
red in every city and town through
which the remains passed. Moving fig.
ures present the precise hearses, cata-
falques. railway trains, soldiers on horse-
back and on foot, In complete uniform
musicians, societies, citizens, carriages,
horses, fire engines, &C., as solemn and
grand as it actually occurred. Cities and
towns are represented by some fifty mag
nificent views, and 100000 figures at least
are employed in the professions.

Leap Year.

Cory OI.anus talks after this fashion to the
ladies concerning the exercise OF the peculiar
privileges of leap year.
would advise young ladies not to be rash.
Although it is leap year, you had better look
before you leap. Because if you get a husband
and he don't suit you, you can't change him
for better ono-at least not without going to
Chicago. There are several considerations to
be observed in the selection Of husband
Looks are a matter of taste; size, complexion,
and color of whiskers may be left to individual
taste. They are of less consequence than dis
position and pecuniary resources. | wouldn't
advise any young woman to marry man who
would expect her to support him. 1t is not
fair thing on the old gentleman, who has been
looking forward to the marriage of his daughter
as a happy release from mlliner's bills. Never
disappoint your parents. Young ladies need
not inquire too particularly whether the man
Of their choice belongs to lodge which meets
four nights in week. They will find that
out after they are married. Husbands, like
other domestic animals, when caught young
can sometimes be trained to do good many
useful things They have even been known to
get up in the morning and light the fire when
the girl has gone away. There are some pro-
fessions not advisable to marry into. Such as
editors, for they never get rich. Or politicians,
who are never satisfied with one wife, but are
always getting welded to their country, and,
like most bigamists, abuse both their wives
But as the great object is to get husband. and
as the supply is limited, it may not do to be
too particular.

A Few Words to q Father.

What mothers eye would not brighten when

prattles faster and faster with the idea Of " go
ing with father" does she not share her little
boys happiness, and is not her love deepenet
by her husbands consideration, so just and yet
too often so extraordinary? It will keep him

may prevent the future licentiousness which SC

What a Working Man Thinks.

Hon. John A. Bingham, in one of his
speeches during the last campaign, was foolish
enough to exclaim-" Thank God there is no
such thing as Equal Taxation" This came to
the eyes of Montpelier, tVermontl Radical
workingmau, which struck him SO forcibly
that, Radical as he is, he is forced to comment
as follows:
"Of course Bingham and his party repre-
sent the bondholder who has his horses, his
carriage, his wine parties, his plate, his bonds.

Buried with a Hammer.

A carpenter named Pierre Rocheau, and re-
siding on the outskirts OF Paris, declared to his
friends that when he died he should like to bo
buried with his hammer by his side in the cof-
fin that should contain his body.
Why SO? was the Oft-repeated question;
but Pierre would only smile and answer:
You shall see. have always had certain
presentiment
One day while saving board the carpenter
suddenly clapped his hammer to bis breast and
fell motionless upon the floor.
The doctors were sent for-they locked wise
and said Heart disease" SO Pierre's coffin
was made, and he was buried with the ham
mer by his side, as he desired.
He laid up some money in the bank-two
thousand francs or thereabouts, and although
it was suspected that he had left will, yet no
will could be found.l This caused a quarrel
among his relatives when they met at his house.
Each one declared that Pierre had often told
him lthe speaker) that he should have tho
money when its owner died. From words
these loving creatures almost came to blows
but in the midst Of their quarrel the door open
Cd. and Pierre Rocheau himself very cody
walked into the room.

and now have to inform you, he added, with
grim smile, that being the nearest relative to
the owner of the francs, shall claim the mo-
ney myself. You wero in great hurry to
bury me, he added, as / always suspected
would be the case, and that was why wanted
to have my hammer by my side. Not being
dead, as the doctors declared was, aud as you
doubtless were glad to believe, on account OF
those francs-I came 10 my senses soon after
being put in the coffin, and knocked up the lid
with my hammer. Let every man with francs
in the bank be buried with his hammer by his
side

POETICAL.
Don't Shut Your Door.

This dryly humorous piece is from the pr
iuctions of Juan de la Euzina, Spanish Pc
# the fifteenth century:
Don't shut your door-don't shut your door
Iflove should come and call,
Twill be no use at all.
If flove command, you'd best obey
Resistance will but hurt you
And make, for that's the safest way,
Necessity virtue.
So don't resist his gentle sway,
Nor shut your door if he should call
For that's no use at all.
I've seen him tame the widest beast,
And strengthen, too, the weakest
BE loves him most who plaques him least;
His favorites are the meekest
The privileged guests who grace his feast,
Have neer opposed his gentle call
For that's no use at all.
He loves to tumble upside down
All classes, all connections;
OF those who fear or wear a crown
He mingles the affections,
Till all by love is overthrown;
And moated gate or castle wall
Will be no use at all.
He is a strange and wavward thing
Young, blind, and full of malice;
He makes shepherd of king,
A cottage OF palace.
IT'S vain TO murmur; and to fling
Your thoughts away in grief and gall
Will be no use at all.
He makes the coward brave; he wakes
The sleepy with his thunders;
In mirth he revels, and mistakes,
And miracles, and wonders;
Apd many man he prisoner makes,
And bolts the door: you cry and CALI
But it's no use at all.

In O Tight Place.


The Berkshire Mass Eagle is responsible
for the following:
"a man in Beckett, while in the woods for
timber, had the misfortune TO "lodge" a tree,
and in order to get it down, hitched his oxen
to the butt and made them pull. The tree fell
into the fork Of another near by, when the tops
overbalancing the other end was jerked twenty
feet high in the air, carrying the oxen with it,
where they remained suspended, in imminent
danger of being choked to death. Perceiving
the tree to be very nearly poised, the man at
tempted to drag them down by the tails, but
one Of these falling he had recourse to fifteen
foot pole, with which, by reaching up to the
ton. he could so raise it that the oxen's hind
feet could touch the ground, thus enabling
them 10 catch breath. Being unable TO sustain
the top for any length Of time, he adopted the
see-saw motion, causing the tree to yibrate up
and down often enough to give his cattle
chance 10 air. He continued this operation
four hours before aid arrived. He then climbed
up and out on the tree, cut off twelve foot
log. which falling, released the oxen, and he
"snaked" it home without even unhisching."

Conceit.

We Gull the following gem from DR.. Chaplin S
lecture on the " Nobility Of Labor" Hardly
anything is more contemplate than the con-
ceit which rests merely upon social position
the conceit Of those who imagine that they
are divorced from the clay Of common men, or
those who shrink with horror from the idea OF
work, as something which degrades by its very
contact, and yet who, very likely, owe their
present position to some not very remote an
cestor, who, recognizing his call to work, lived
more honestly in the world than they do, and
was not ashamed Of soiled thumbs. 1t is one
of the meaneSt things for people to be ashamed
Of the work from which they draw their in
come, and which glorified their ancestors more
with their soied aprons and black gowns, than
themselves with their fine ribbons and flashing
jewelry. 1t might be a fine thing TO bo like
the lilies, more gloriously clothed than Solo
mon, and doing nothing, as if we were only
lilies Advantageous position is only more
emphatic call for work and while those who
hold the advantage may not be compelled to
manual drudgery, they should recognize the
fact that manual drudgery may be performed
in the same spirit as that which characterizes
their own work, and therefore that it is equally
honorable.

There may be those who will doubt its accura-

and for that purpose have small furnace with
several kettles. These kettles remain idle and
empty during all the year. except the sugar
season; and last summer favorite old hen Of
oursmade her nest in one Of them, and furnished
US with an egg every day or two. One day
when the sugar season first came on the kettles
were full Of boiling sugar-water, and the hen
came along as usual, and without noticing tbs
fact, few into the customary kettle and laid

How to Prosper in Business.

In the first place, make up your mind to &C
complsh whatever you undertake; decide up
on some particular employment and persevere
in it. All difficulties are overcome by diligence
and assiduity. BE not afraid to work with
your own hands, and diligently too. "a cat
in gloves catches no mice" he who remains
in the mill grinds; not be whogoes and comes. +"
Attend to your business, never trust to an
other" "A pot that belongs to many is i'll
stirred and worse boiled" BE frugal. That
which will not make a pot will make pot lie" )"
" Save the pence and the pounds will take care
Of themselves. BE abstemious. Who dsin-
ties love shall besgars prove" Rise early
"The sleeping fox catches no poultry
" Plough deep while sluggards sleep, and you
will have corn to sell and keep" Treat every
one with respect and civility. Everything
is gained and nothing is lost by courtesy
Good manners insure success. Never antici-
pate wealth from any other source than labor,
especially never place dependence upon be-
coming a pOssessor Of an inheritance He
who waits for dead mems shoes may have 10

runs after a shadow has wearisome race
Above all things, neverdespair. God where
He was" He helps those who truly trust in
Him
