great joy which a people show when
they feel that an event has happened
which is to give lasting blessings to the
land. To-day, in the same spirit, this
vast asseInblage meets, and the streets
OF this city are thronged with men who
have come from the utmost borders of
our continent. They are filled with the
hope that We are about, by our actions
and our policy, to bring back the bless
ing of good Government. 1T is among
the happiest omens which inspire us
now, that those who fought brayely in
our late civil war are foremost in their
demands that there shall be peace in our
land. The passions of hate and malice
may liDger in many breasts, but we find
ourselves upheld in our generous pur-
poses by those who showed true courage
and manhood in battle. (Cheers)
In the spirit then of George Wash
ington and of the patriots of the revo-
luton, let us take the steps to reinaugu-
rate our Government, to start it once
again on Its course of prosperity. May
Almighty God give us tie wisdom to
carry out our purpose to give every
State of our Union the blessings of
peace, good order and fi.aternal Affections.
Mr.. Seymour closed amid great cheer.

These great operations having been
effected during the summer months and
this agency of the leaves finished, they

MoTHER.-Erom our earliest infancy
we learn to cling to our mother. She is
with us at all times. Night after night,
While we are tossing upon bed of pain,
she watches over us with untiring and
gentle care, thinking of nothing but
that which relates to our comfort. Look
upon the battlefield, after the conflict
is over, and all is silent save an occa-
sional moan from dying soldier, and
nought to light up the faces of the dying
and dead but the pale light of the moon.
Here and there we see fluttering figure
darting to and fro among the dead, now
and then peering into the face of one
whom she thinks, perhaps, may be her
boy. What picture of mothers love
is this! No rest for her until she finds
her boy; and when he is found, weltering
Ill his life's blood, the mother bends
over him, and sob after sob escapes from
her agoniZed bosom. Let us look into
the hospital. See that poor fellow as
lie lies upon his low couch: kind nurses
are around administering to his wants,
but what cares he for these-his mother
is not there. But, look at him uowl
why does his eye light up, and his
whole frame culver with joyl 1t is be-
cause his mother is coming to see him.
Does not he love his motherQ Yet how

wise advice, and regard it only as taIk;
but in after years when we are thrown
into the world, and have only ourselves
to depend upon for support, then 1T is
we call to mind the many lessons which
she gave, and regret, when it is too late,
that we did not follow her loving advice.
Speak to the drunkard, or criminal, of
home and friends, you touch his heart;
but speak to him of his mother, and re-
call to him the weary nights she watched
over him while he was in pain, and you
see mist overspread his eyes-he will
bow his head and think over the pleas
ant days of his childhood, remembering
them only as a delightful dream that is
past and gone forever. In after years,
as we stand beside the cold dead body
of our beloved mother, the lessons which
she taught us when we were young, and
which we had before treated with con-
tempt and scorn-these lessons we de-
termine shall be our guiding star to
Heaven and to Mother.

The HAIR.-The ordinary length of
the hair of the head in women varies
from twenty inches to yard, in some
instances longer even than that; but
they are of unusual occurrence; it's
weight is from five to eight ounces. A
contemporary relates an instance where
the hair of lady's head attained the
measurement of two yards in length.
But its proper length for texture and
strength should not exceed twenty-fou
inches, and it's value as long hair is
much deprecated in price when it falls
shorter. 1t has been calculated by
Withof that the beard grows ut the rate
of line and half per week, which
gives length of six and half inches
in the course of the year, while for a.
man of eighty years twenty-seven feet
would have fallen before the razor.
We are informed that the beard of
the Burgomaster, Hans Steiningep, was
so long that upon one occasion, having
forgotten to fold up the same, he trod
on it as he ascended to the Council
Chamber at Brunn, and was thereby
thrown down and killed. And still fur
ther we may cite from Eble that at the,
Princes Court of Eldam there is a full
length painting of carpenter whose,
beard was nine feet long, so that when
engaged at work he was obliged to carry
it i'm a bag. At the industrial exhibition
of 1862 there were exhibited specimens
of human hair taken from English,
French and Italian ladies, the longest
specimens having been cut from one of
our own country women. 1t was lock
of let black hair and measured seventy
four inches in length.

SOMETHING FOR SwEARERS.-A gem
tleman once heard profane man swear
terribly IN the presence of u number of
his companions. He told him it was {.
cowardly thing to swear so in company,
when he dared not do it by himself.
The man said he was not afraid to swear
at any time and at any place.
81 will give you ten dollars" said the
gentleman, ''if you will go into the viii
lage chnrch-yard, at II O'clock to- night,
and swear the same oaths which you
have uttered here, when you are alone
with your God.''
''Agrcedl" said the man. "'Tis an
easy way of earning ten dollars!''
"Well, you come to me tomorrow,
and say you have done it, and the money
is yours.''
The time passed on; midnight came.
The man went to the graveyard. 1t
was night of pitchy darkness AS he
entered the graveyard not a sound was
heard; all was as still as death. The
gentleman words, ''all alone with
God" came over him with wonderful
power. The thought of the wickedness
he had committed, and what he came
there to do, darted through his mind
like a flash of lightning. He trsmbled
at his folly. Afraid to take another
step, he fell on his knees, and instead
of the dreadful oaths he came there to
utter, the earnest cry went up; "God be
to me, a sinnerl"
The next day he went to the gentle
man and thanked him for what he had
done, and said he had resolved not to
swear another oath as long as he lived.
