SMILE AND BE CoNrENrED.

The world grows old, and men grow cold
To each while seeking treasure,
And what with want, and care and toll,
We scarce have time for pleasure
BIt never mind that is a loss
Not much to be lamented:
Life rolls on gaily If we will
But smile and be contented.
If ever we are poor and would be rich,
1t will not be by pining;
No, steady heart and hopeful minds
Are life's bright silver lining.
There's ne'er man that dared to hope,
Hath Of bis choice repeuted
The bappiest souls on earth are those
Who smile and are contented.
When grief doth come to rack the heart,
And fortune bids Us sorrow,
From hope we may blessing reap,
And consolation borrow.
If thOrns may rise where roses bloom,
1t cannot be prevented;
So make the best of life you can,
And smile and be contented.

MUsT SEE THE CBRTFlcATE.-A short time ago
a country couple from the rural districts of
Indiana arrived in New Albany, and put up at
the Commercial Hotel. The gentleman was a
bachelor of the tender age of thirty seven, and
the maiden had passed the heyday of youth, and
basked in the shade of twenty-six 1t seems
they were bent on matrimony, and had come
here in search of that blissful estate, because a
cruel PARENT had denied it to the loving would
be bride, because he had had quarrel with his
daughters lover, in years gone by. He, however,
saw 1t was no use to oppose, aud at last consent
ed TO the match, but forbade the performance
OF the ceremony in bis house. This being the
case, the pair gathered their effects together,
oade farewell to the old folks at home, and
came here on an evening train. This was made
known to the proprietor of the hotel who soon
mad the necessary papers in hand, q minister who
boarded in the house, was called upon to perform
the ceremony. This concluded, the w-made
pair enjoyed the evening, until bedtime, in the
parlor Of the hotel, chatting with the gentlemen
assembled. Bedtime came, as it generally does.
and the proprietor, with lamp in hand, entered
the paror TO show the couple to their room.
They followed, until the second hall on the secs
ond hoor had been entered, when the bride ex-
claimed in loud voice to the proprietor "Mr.
Mac, where is my certificate You needn't think
you are going to get me into that room until
get it." Neither Mr.. Mac nor her husband could
induce her to change her mind and the preacher
had to be called out Of bed, and make out the
certificate, before the lady would move a peg.
This being done, she seemed satisfied that all
was right, and the door opened and closed upon
| the scene.-AIbday Exchange.

NATIONAL CEMETERIES. Grant tells us
in his report that there are 30s cemeteries in the
United States, in which are inferred the bodies
of United States soldiers. Eighty-one of these
are known as "national cemeteries. =" The total
number of United States soldiers inferred in
cemeteries is 25l, 1927, of which ,666 are in
TERED in the national cemeteries. Seventy.six
thousand two hundred and sixty three bodies are
yet to be inferred in these cemeteries, which,
when completed, will make the total number
32s, 900. Twenty thousand eight hundred and
sixty one rebel prisoners Of war have been in>
TERED. The estimated cost of fencing the cem>
eteries is $7O9, 900. The amount already ex>
pended on cemeteries is estimated at 81, ,737 900.
The total cost of the cemeteries, when compiler

History. History often shows us the
fate of monarchy and of nations suspended
on some obscure individual, or on a mere &C,
cident, or a moment of time. When Louis
XVI, and the royal family fed from Paris
to escape the rigor of the Revolution and
saves their lues, they were discovered when
within but an hour or two safety, by Que
Drouet, the son Of an obscure village post>
master, who discovered the king by the re-
semblance his featuresbore to his portrait on
the assignats. His sauntering idly, one eve,
ming, before the door of a cottage, decided
the fate of monarchy and the sacrifice of
a whole family Of royal fugitives. Never
did the fate of so many men and so many
ideas depend plainly on a chance Had this
mans face been turned another way, France
would not had anarchy, nor have waded
through her own blood in massacres and
murders, to settle down at last in an empire
where liberty was drowned 10 blood, or
trampled out under the iron heels of Ma
poleouic dynasty.

MOTHER AND CHILD.-The tie which
links mother and child is offs such pure and
immaculate strength, as never to be violated,
except by those whose feelings are withered
by the refining of vitiated society. Holy, sim
pie, and beautiful in its construction, is the
emblem of all we can imagine of fidelity
and truths the blessed lie whose value we
feel 10 the cradles, and whose loss we lament
on the verge Of the very grave where our
mother moulders in the dust and ashes. In
all our trials, amid all our Affections, she
is our friend. Let the world forsake us, she
is still by our side If we sin, she reproves
more in sorrow than in anger; nor can she
tear us from her bosom, nor for get we are
her child.

NEVER SATIsFIED.-Johnny, come here,'
said DR.. Fry to his little boy, who was play
ing on the carpet in the dining room, "here
is an apple for you 1t was so large that
he could hardly grasp it. DR.. Fry then
gave him another apple which filled the other
hand. "Here is another" said he, giving
the child third. Little Johny tried hard
to hold it between the other two, but could
not succeed, it rolled away across the floor.
On seeing this, he burst into tears. "See,"
said DR.. Fry to a lady who was present, "here
is child with more than he can enjoy, and
yet not satisfied. My child is a fair repre-
sentative of US all. We are ever seeking to
possess more and more of the worlds treas>
ures, and yet we are never satisfied"

NO LOVE LOST ALL ROUND.

Grimes and Harlan, Of Iowa, are scarcely on
speakiug terms. As in other cases have mens
toned, / am unable to tell the cause, and must
content myself with simply stating the fact.
They refer to each other courteously enough in
debate, but cherish lively animosity against
each other in their private hearts. Yates and
TrumbulI, of Illinois, labor together in the po,
ltical vineyard under the same disadvantage of
mutual dsrespect. Wilson, of Massachusetts,
is generally popular, and is one of the very few
exceptions to the general rule of being consider
ed id fool by one or more of his Senatorial
associates.

TIE negroes in certain section of Person

church worship that looks little singular
in these days of christian progress. 1t is
true, that they go to "meetin" in their best
clothes, but instead of worshiping in the
regular old fashioned way, such as kneeling
at prayers, crying HameR!" in the corner,
and now and then putting through good
old camp meeting bymn-they form ring

THE PoTAToE.-The history of the pota.
toe is a singular one. Rees' Eucyclopedia
states that it was brought from Virginia, by
Sir Walter Raleigh, to Ireland, (the writer
should have said from South America,) in
the latter part of the sixteenth century. He
bad no idea of its ever being used as an es,
cuent at that time. 1t was pointed out 10
hin as flower, and its hard: buby root was
said by the natives 10 posse medical quail
ties. He took it to Ireland, where he hal
estates presented 10 him by Queen Elizabeth,
and planted it in his garden. The flower
did not improve by cultivation, but the root
grew larger and softer. The potatoe in its
native bed was coarse ground nut The
thought struck the philosopher to try the
potatoe as an edible, and boiling and roast
ing it, found it by either process excellent.
He then gave some Of the plants to the
peasantry, and they soon became, in meas.
ure, a substitute for bread, when the harvest
was scauty. The potato was cultivated in
Ireland before it was thought of in Epgland;
it grew into favor by slow degrees, aud was
SO little known when our pilgrim fathers
came TO this county, that it was not thought
of for crop in the New World 1t would
have been an excellent thing for them, if
they had been acquainted value of the pota-
to. 1t was not until l7l9, that the Irish
potato reached this country. A colony of
Presbyterian Irish who settled in Londou>
derry, in New Hampshire, brought the root
with them. These people found their favor.
ite vegetable thrive well in new grounds.
By degrees their neighbors came into the
habit of raising potatoes but many years elaps-
e1 before the cultivation OF them was gencr,
al among the yeomanary of this country.
The cultivation Of the potatoe is now well
understood; a crop meliorates instead of
impoverishes the soil, and the culture can
be increased to any extent.
