tell me the color of the horses of our
foe, and may Allah burn his GRANDPA

Then We will go SOUTH said the chief,

the chief said: my son, what color

Three Bugs.

Three little bugs in basket,
And hardly room for ttoo!
And one was yellow, and one was black,
And one like me. or you.
The space was small, no doubt for all;
But what would three bugs do?
Three little bugs in basket,
And hardly crumbs for two;
And all were selfish in their hearts,
The same as l or you;
So the strong ones said, "wewill eat the bread
And that is what we'll do.'
Three little bugs in basket
And the beds but two would hold;
So they all three fell to quarreling-
The white, and black, and the gold;
Aud two of the bugs got under the rugs,
And one was out in the coldi
So he that was left in the basket,
Without a crumb to chew,
Or thread to wrap himself withal,
When the wind across him blew,
Pulled one Of the rugs from one of the bugs.
And so the quarrel grew!
And 50 there was war in the basket,
All, pity tits, tits true E5.f .-....
But he that was frozen and starved at last,
A strength from his weakness drew,
And pulled the rugs from both of the bugs,
And killed and ate them, too!
Now, when bugs live in basket,
Though more than it well can hold,
1t seems to me they had better agree
The white, the black, and the gold
And share what comes of the beds and crumbs
And leave no bug in the cold

A MONUMENT TO ADAM We do
not know how much truth there is
in the story, but it is reported that
the Rev. Charles Rogers of England.
is about to get up subscription for
the erection of monument to-Ad-
am, the father of mankind! A compa-
ny, to be entitled the Grand Inter-
national Adamite Monument Associa-
ton" is to be formed, and the .monu-
ment is to be erected upon the sup.
posed site of the Garden of Eden, in
Mesopotamia. The expense, no doubt,
will be great. 1t is the custom to
make a monument never smaller, and
generally much larger, than was the
mortal body of the hero, whose i'm
mortal deeds it is intended to CON-
memorate; and as there is a well-au-
thenticated tradition that Adam was
$50 feet high, his monument cannot,
in common justice. be less than / 900
feet in altitude. But it is estimated
that penny subscription from each
one of the surviving descendants of this
truly great and good man-and it is
impossible that one of them should be
unwilling to contribute this small sum
would amount to enough to pay for
the erection of the monument, and
leave enough over to procure hand
some testimony for Dr. Rogers, who
has been the first to suggest that it
was time to wipe away " the stigma
long attached to humanity for having
left the memory of the first hero in
its history-a man whose name, fame,
actions, death and spiritual influence
are constantly on our lips-without
commemorative stone to tell the stran-
ger, who would appreciate it, what he
had DONE" A great many hard things
have been said of Adam; but it should
not be forgotten that we owe him
much, and that, with all his faults, he
had many virtues. When DIR. Rogers
subscription paper is sent over here,
we shall be ready with our penny, and
if he will enlarge his plan so as to in
clude monument of Eve also, we will
be happy to double our subscription.

The Robin Hood of Norway.

In the Castle of Agershaus, in Chris
tiana, in a cage of thick iron bars, is
immured for life, Hoyland, the Robin
Hood cf Norway. His robberies
were always confined to the upper
classes, while his kindness and iber-
ality to those in his own rank of life
rendered him exceedingly popular
amongst them. His crimes never ap-
pear to have been accompanied with
personal violence. He is a native of
Christiansand, where he began his
career. On being imprisoned for
some petty theft, he broke into the in
spector's room, while he was at church
and stole his clothes; these Hoyland
dressed himself in, and quietly walked
out of the town unobserved and un.
suspected. He was subsequently re.
peatedly captured and imprisoned in
this castle, and often made his escape

The Cat--A Study.
AFTER VICTOR HUGO.

The cat is the concrete symbol of a
vacillating politician.
1t is always on the fence.
1t is the feline embodiment of one
Of the profoundest human principles
wrenched from the circumambience Of
the unknown and hurled into the bo-
som of consciousness.
Nine tailors make cne man. A cat
has nine times the life of one MAJ, for
it has nine lives. Possession, also, is
nine points of the law. Behold le-
gal possession of existence equal to
the span of 81 clothiers' lives.
Let US bow reverentially before this
august fact.
The wanderer by the moonlight sea
shore, when the moon-that argent
cornucopia of heavens streaming
forth her flowers and fruits of radi-
ence, and the illimitable is Illuminated
by the inevitable, will have remarked
the phosphorescent ridges that scintil.
late along the pillows top, until the
breakers seem to curve and snort like
horses necks with names of lightning
clad.
So, 0 man, when in the darkness Of
thine own chamber, thou passeth thine
hand along the furry spine of this
phantom of the backyard, the electric
sparks dart forth, and fash OF light
ming fuses together the fingers and the
fur.
Exquisite antithesis of nature! The
fireside embraces the ocean. The
hearth-stone is paved with sea-shells.
The monsters of the deep disport
reflected in the glowing embers. The
infinite Abroad is brought into ANAL
gamation with the finite at Home.
The ocean roas.
The cat only purrs.
The pillows rise and eliminate and
break.
The cats back rises. The feline
tide is up, and we have permanent
billow of fur and flesh.
O,impossible co-existence of uncon-
Trajectory contradictions.
The Duke of Wellington was pro-
nounced the greatest captain of his
age. Gen Grant was pronounced the
greatest of his.
The greatest captain of any age was
the captain with his great whiskers.
Let US not call this the tergiversa-
tion Of nature.
The whiskers of the captain.
The whiskers Of the cat.
The hirsute exponent of martial su-
premacy. The feline symbolism OF
the Bearded Lady crossing her claws
before the family fire.
Jealousy has been called the green
eyed monster.
The cat is the green.eyed monster.
Both lie in wait Neither destroys
its victim without toying with it. One
is the fox, the other is the friend of
the freside. Either is to be met in
almost any family. Each is Of both
sexes.
"Old Tom gin in excess is one Of
mans bitterest foes; man is the bit.
tereSt bibulous foe of Tom cats. The
one puts the bricks into the hats
of the second to be SHE'D at the head
of the third.
O,osculation between sky and earth
0, lips of the Seen touching the lips
of the Unseen. o, wave of thought
careering through the asymptotes of
cloudland, crystalizing into angelic
foci the tangent of humanity.
The stars are out at night.
So are cats. .N

WILCOX & GIBBS
SEWING MACHINES
FOR
FORTY-FIyE DOLLARS.

D o NJ T BE SEA r E d i,
About "Factory worn" single threaders, "adver-
tised by other parties" (see Express for mer.
chant tailor, or any other tailor ever uses loop
stitch machine, but double threaders only.
Why don't tailors use the Wilcox & Gibbs
Machine' Answer-because it makes the loop
stitch and ifit gets unlooped at the end of the
seam, the seam will pull open without breaking
the thread. Try it, and then you will know why
tailors don't use them.
But the Wilcox & Gibbs agent told us it made
the twisted loop" stitch, and "fast seam" and
that it was a "frst class" machine, and run very
still, and it cost S65 with small cover and Bar
mum self seam.
Did the agent make you believe it made fast
seam? Yes; and he proved it by cutting off
part OF the stitches the right side and then it
would hold to pull hard upon, straightacro the
seam.
So will the seam of any of the little cheap loop
stitch machines if managed Just in that way, but
that does not hinder the seam pulling open, fit
happens to get unlOOped, neither does the high
price that you paid for it, nor its running still,
nor its twisted loop, make it any safer than the
work of a machine that costs but SIS. The twist
is only to twist S25 or $50 more out of your
pocket than you ought to pay for them, thinking
that you are getting fast stitch machine, when
in fact it is only loop stitch, as is well known,
is liable to let your garments part asunder at
times when you would choose to be clothed rath-
er than naked.
Husband" said Mrs G. "what kind of ma
chine did Mrs. D. stitch my dress on :"
"Why, on her new Wilcox & Gibbs"
"Well, the first time wore it, one of the bias
ing seams in the waist pulled open. One stitch
broke, and then Cne side pulled off. leaving the
loops of thread in the other side. Now, will
never have another stitch of work done on it,
nor any other loop stitch machie, and when you
get me sewing machine, you may order me fast
stitch machine from F. ?. CHENEY-eithera a
GOLD MEDAL" or a "NEW AMERICAN
COMBINATION" He will furnish them with
hemmers to turn the hem u2 or down, and they
will fell braid bind, tuck, and embroider, and
run from twenty thcknesses of heaAy cotton
cloth on to one thickness of fine muslin, without
changing thread, needle or tension, and the New
American will make nice, strong button holes,
and O oyerseaming, making the over edge
stitch, and it runs much stiller than any of the
old style shuttle machines, and the shuttle is
very easily threaded and regulated. 1t costs
only a trife more than the Wilcox s. Gibbs, and
would sooner buy it if it cost sir times mach,
for, MS Governor Hartman of N. H, said in his
letter to Judge Barrett 81 regard it as far ahead
| of any other sewing machine in existence" and
certainly think it very silly to pay great price
| for a small, single thread loop stitch machine.

On one occasion he was taken on q
board a vessel just leaving the Christ
lana Fiord for America. Previous to Q
his escape, all descriptions OF irons !
having been found useless, ne was
placed in solitary confinement in the
strongest part of the basement OF the
citadel-his room was foored with
very thick planks. Here he had oeen
confined for several years when, one
night, the turnkey said to him, "eii'
you are fixed at last, you will never
get out of this, and you may as well
promise US you will not attempt II.
To this he only replied, 1t is yonr
business to keep me here if you can,
and mine to prevent your doing so II
possible" The following day, when
his cell was opened, the prisoner was
gone, apparently without leaving
trace of the manner in which he had
effected his escape. Alter repeated
and careful search, on removing his
bed, it was found that he had cut
through the thick planks of the floor b
ing. On removing the planks cut
away land which he had replaced on
leaving the cell) it appeared he had
sunk a shaft. and formed a gallery un-
der the wall of his prison-this ena-
bled him to gain the courtyard, from
which he easily reached the ramparts
unseen, dropped into the ditch, and
got of. No trace of him could be
found. About twelve months after
wards, the National Bank was robbed
Of 100000, chiefly paper money, and
in the most mysterious manner, there
being no trace of violence upon the
locks of the iron chest, in which the
money had been left, or upon those of
the doors of the bank. Some time
afterwards a petty theft was commit
ted by man who was taken and soon
recognized to be Hoyland. He then
disclosed how he had effected his last
escape, which had taken him three
years of steady patient labor to ac-
complish; while others slept he was
at work, and with a nail for his only
tool. Having money concealed in the
mountains he was sheltered in Christ
iana-disguised himself-ma a d e ac-
quaintance with the porter of the
bank-gradually, without his knowl-
edge, took impressions of the various
locks-made keys for them-and thus
committed the robbery before men,
toned. He is said to carve beautiful
ly in wood and stone, but is no long
er allowed the use of tools. His sole
occupation is knitting stockings with
wooden pins. Twice during the day,
while the other prisoners are not at
work, he is allowed to leave his cell
for air and exercise, and he occasion
ally gets the amusement of chat
with the governor, by writing to him
that he will disclose where the rest
of the bank money is concealed which
he did not get rid of while at liberty.

OVER THE FALLs.-VisitorS to Nj
agara Falls are shown the spot where,
few years since, a gentleman was
playfully tossing a child in his arms
towards the food rushing at his feet
on the edge of the precipice, when the
little burden sprang from his grasp,
and in a moment was gone--a speck
in the foam below. We can only i'm
agine the emotions Of the man whose
charge so suddenly passed from hap
py life to fearful death. tr
But surely this is a trivial thing
compared with the parental sacrifices
seen daily everywhere. How care
lessly do loving hands fling young
souls, by the power of unholy inhu.
ence, upon the tide of moral ruin,
whose vortex is the perdition of un.
godly men !" To triAe, however fond
ly, with the body is bad enough; but
lightly to value the undying nature
and cast it on the sweeping current
of worldliness and dissipation, is aw
full pastime.
The song and smile of mirth by
both the destroyers and the destroy
ed, because the abyss is out of sight
does not delay the tragedy of the soul
nor sweeten the bitterness of remorst
when it is seen too late. "Tha
dress" said the dying daughter of DR.
H, who had induced her bv tn,
offered adorning to stife her convic
tions in a festive scene, is the pric,
of my soul.n
Father" exclaimed a youthful in
ebriate at the gates of death, q dranl
my first glass at your table,"
These are only examples of be
trayed trust, whose victims are pass
ing the cataract of destruction Of botl
soul and body in hell.

JOSH BILLINGS ON THE BLACK MAN.

JOSH BILLINGS ON THE BLACK MAN.
- The Black man emigratid tew this
free and plus kuntry about two hun
dred years formerly, in the lower sto-
ry of a vessel; he was kindly furn-
ished with free ride, and some rice
and water for vittles.
Immediately upon his arrival he
commenced business for other folks
on our eastern coast and had plenty
tew do. e,ios
He was very Economical in his hab-
its ov clothes, wearing but flu, and
those seldom made out of cashmere.
He OCCASIONALLY changed hiz loka-
ton, moving into an adjoining State,
but in these journeys he waz always
kindly furnished with a guide, so that
there waz no danger ov hiz getting
lost.
In these trips he seldom took his
family with him; they were either
tew remain at hum or make excur-
sions in search ov work to other States
under the guidance of experienced
guides. o
Once in while the Black Man
would stray away far to the cold and
bitter North and get cruelty lost.
Hiz guides would mourn for him
then, and search for him. but hiz fam
lily soon get reconciled tew the loss.
Everybody sed, where he liyed.that
he was the happiest crittur that had
ever been discovered yet, with moth
ing to do but work, and a kind guide
to watch over him awl the time, and
mourn for him when he got lost.
But the Black Man IL very
phoolish crittur.

Your admirable needle woman is the only
seamstress that defies extortiouate men. They
cannot cheat it, nor starve it, nor deprive it Of
sleep, nor tire it out, nor make it's hands weary.
1t is a worker that is match for the most un-
wearied and avarieous manufacturer. At last
am thankful that there is machine woman
that cannot be oppressed nor kept in suffering.
