BETTER THAN GOLD.

Better than grandeur, better than gold,
Than rank and u title n thousand fold,
Is n healthy body, mind ut ease,
Aud simple pleasures that always please
heart that can feel for anothor's woe,
And his joys with genial glow,
With sympathy large enough 10 enfold
All men as brothers, is better than gold.
Better than gold Is a conscience clear,
Though toiling for bread in an humble sphere,
Douhy blest with content and health,
Untired by the lust and cares Of wealth,
Lowly living aud lofty thought
Adorn and ennuble n poor mans cot,
For mind and morals in natures plan
Are tho genuine tost of gentleman.
Better than gold is the sweet ropose
OF the sons of toll when their labors close
Better than gold is n poor mans sleep,
Aud the balm that drops on bis slumbers doop
Brings sleeping draughts 20 his downy bed
When luxury pillows his aching head.
His simple opiate labor deoms
A shorter road to the land of dreams.
Better than gold is the thinking mind,
That in the realms of book can hnd
A treasure surprising the Australian ore,
And live with the great aud good Of yore-
The sago's lord and tho poets lay,
The glorics of empires passed away,
The worlds great drama will thus unfold
Aud yield pleasure better than gold.
Better than gold is the peaceful home,
Where all the fireside charities come,
The shrine Of love. the heaven of life,
Hallowed by mother, or sister, or wife,
However humble the homo may bc.
Or tried with sorrow by heavens decree,
Tho blessings that never were bought or sold,
And centre there. are better than gold.

SOME CoNsoLATIoN.-New York and
New Jersey have both gone for the de-
mocracy, and elected Democratic Cover
nors and Legislatures, and will elect two
United States Senator'S, in place of Nor
gan and Frelinghuyson. The New York
democracy have already announced their
intention of electing Horatio Seymour
to the U. s. Senate, In place of Morgan.
La addition to this it now appears that
the mongrels will not have two thirds OF
the next Congress, thus placing it in the
power of the Democrats to sustain Grant S
vetoes, and to protect him from impeach-
ment, should he take notion to cross the
radical corruptionists. The Democrats
have, at three former times, had to come
to the rescue, and save, and defend Pres
idents elected by the opposition, from
the fury of their own partizans. We re-
fer to Tyler, Fillmore, and johnson. If
Grant has good intentions, he may thank
God for healthy Democratic minority
in Congress, with Democratic Governors
and Legislatures in New York, New
Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky,
and California.-Placer Herald.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati


Commercial says on the same subject:
"Mr. Stewards marriage is fully an
nounced. His bride is to be Miss Olive
-, lady not above 25 years of age
She is noted here for her stately figure,
large and almost masculine in her hight
and fullness. Her eyes are dark and her
intelligence is remarkable. She will
probably make the most agreeable lady
in Washington society that we have had
since Madison. She halls from Chatauqua
county, New York, where Seward lived
at one time, about twelve years before she
was born, and a year before he became
Governor of the Commonwealth. He is
lonely in his great establishments here
and at Auburn, and being an amiable,
sportive, frisky, foxy and infatuating man
of fame, and place, who would not marry
him that was ambitious and the daughter
of politician? This marriage is in
dorsed by both families, and by Mr.,
Stewards mother-in-law, who called the
young bridegroom to her bedside and
bade him to be happy. So says the
country that he has served so we'll and
helped so largely to ciyillze."

black, and piece Of pulverized gum cam.
phor as large as hens egg. Melt the
ingredients over slow fire, amp stir them
thoroughly after they are melted. Never
heat so hot as to make it boil. Soft grease
which has salt in it will not injure the
leather. Now have the leather warm,
and warm the grease not so that it will
flow, but have it so soft that it may be
applied with brush. Should the leather
seem to need it, give the shoes or boots an
oiling occasionally. 1t is not best TO dry
the shoe grease in before the FIRE, but al
low it TO remain on the surface of the
leather. A light coat of this kind OF
grease will exclude the water, even II boots
arc exposed TO wet all day. This shoe
grease will not injure leather by render
ing il hard and inelastic. When man s
boots are exposed to wet all day, be should
wash them clean at night, and hang them
up in the kitchen, where the leather will
dry gradually, aud put on little grease
every morning. 1t is far better to grease
little often than to grease bountifully
every ten or twelve days. Leather should
not be allowed to become very dry before
greasing. Always apply the grease as
soon as the leather is almost dry; then
the leather will be mellow, and never be-
come hard. Nothing Injuries boots and
shoes moro th@n to set them aside to dry
when covered with dirt. Keep boots and
shoes away from the fire, where they are
liable to be heated. Heating leather in
jures it.

SINGuLAR.-It is known that a man
cannot marry his grandmother, but
here is case not included in the list
of excepted brides. A widower aged
fifty having dried his tears, paid his
addresses to very comely lass, the
daughter of very worthy citizen of
a provincial town. "She" had money,
and even world of vile, ill-favored
faults looks handsome under the cir
cumstanees. The marriage was duly
celebrated, anl for four years all went
well, until the young wife displayed
the evidence of splendid beard, and
the truth came out-the supposed
"wife'" was a handsome yoet,ag man,
and to prevent their being laughed at
both agreed to keep their secret, until
nature forced the husband to apply
for divorce, and the application win
come before the courts in little time.

about as large in circumference as an or

seven inches long. By pulling off the
head of the. cricket it may be taken out

a dark brown, and if placed in bottle OF
water will live twenty -four hours Here
is an item for naturalists. Ever young

of dissecting them to see the snakes. The

REMEDY FOR A BONE FELoN.-The
editor of the Savannah Republtcan has
been handed the following remedy for
this most painful affiiction, which we re-
commend our readers to cut out and Jay
aside, for it may be found useful in fu-
ture day. The gentleman who handed it
in tested its efficacy with complete sue
cess. CAS- soon as the pulsation which
indicates the disease is felt, put directly
over tho spot fly blister about the size
of five cent piece, and keep it on for six
or eight hours, at the expiration of which
time, directly under the surface of the
blister viii be found the felon, easily ia
ken out with the point of a lancet or nee
die.

MAKE A sCRAP-BoOR.

Every intelligent. progressive farmer
takes u paper. This is fixed fact |
is tobe hoped, too, that he has halt dozer
journals, of one sort or another, comiue
every month but however that may be
when he reads them over he often says
d" Now | wish ! could remember tha
item, and put il in practice next season
| believe | will cut it out and save il
somewhere" He does cut it out and
puts it ia his vest pocket, or between tho
leaves Ola book, or in some odd, out.of
the-way place, where there is little chance
OF his ever seeing it again.
Now, when he cut it out, he took q
step in the right direction Why did he
not 20 little further, and paste it into q
lscrap-book Then it would have been
permanently saved; aud very convenient
for reference Preserving papers 10 file,
would save all the articles, but few would
ever take the trouble to look all through
them fsr some point they wished TO read
over again. Ii would seem to much ike
looking for the prOverbial needle in the
hay-mow"
The scrap.book gives you the very
cream of your papers. There are usually
only few articles in each one which
seem to have been written expressly for
you, and you do not care to save those
belonging to everybody else. You do
not care to read the columns on bee.
keeping, when you never owned bee in
your life; but probably your neighbor
takes more interest in that department
than any other 1t is the beauty of a
good paper that it has something in it for
every one.
The house mother can never buy US as
good receipt book as she can make by
carefully saving the useful recipes and
suggestions she meets with in her weekly
paper. The book should have simple
classification the recipes for cooking
should be placed by themselves, those for
general housework may be placed in
another part of the book-thc same for
directions on gardening, care of children,
&c.
Such book is great means Of econo-
mizing in the course of year. Just the
right thing in the right place often saves
dollars of money and dollars worth of
time and trouble. Just such hints aud
directions we meet with from week to
week in every good paper, and it is the
carrying them out into practice that
makes the difference between the thrifty,
successful farmer, snd his opposite. OF
course if they are forgotten they cannot
be put in practice. The mind, unless it
has been severely disciplined, is apt to
hold knowledge much as a sieve does
water. Itneeds many helps to make the
memory useful. The very act of cutting
out the slip and pasting it in, is a great
help toward recalling it; and if the de-
tails are forgotten, there is the article
