My melancholy friend, there is no place
In all the byways Of this glorious earth,
Nor, has there ever been in time or space
Since first the morning stars proclaimed
their birth,
Designed for him, whose long and gloomy
Is never lighted by the beams Of mirh.
funny doctrine this that am teaching,
But am sure that it is true as preaching.
Laugh, and be wise. he that is deaf and blind
Aud will not be made perfect, is a Ounce.
laughs the purest tonic you can find
For your complaint, think, pray try il,
Loud, clear, and long, and you u be more re-
signed
To sorrows when they come. 'Tis be con.

est
Whose laugh rings out the londest, clearest.
longest.
What iaA laugh? Perhaps happy though,
Sent like sunbeam from the soul 10 earth;
Perhaps sigh, an angel may have c,ught
From clouds that sometimes dim the bright :
est hearth
Perhaps tear, with loving sweetness fraught,
strain of sadness or q song Of mirih;
For, like the pearls that pave the unknown
deep,
So. side b. side, our tears and laughter sleep.
blest be he, within whose bosom dwels
The tear that soothes, and laugh that al
ways cheers,
Whose loving heart with deep affection swells
And glows with hopes that ripen with hi 9
years.
But he, who every mir,hful thought repels
And looks on life, as butts vale of tears.
Is like the worm that hugs the damp, cold
ground
Nor cares to taste the joys that bloom around
But like the chrysalis, which, when ARA ed
With golden wings, flies upaari to behold
II lovely fowers that formerlf did shade
Its ugly birthplace in the garden mould,
So touched by laughter, shal! the soul be
made
To seek the sunshine that it Stunned of old !,
And find new pleasures, glorioas and fair,
In rich protusion springing everywhere.
Laugh, then. my friend, let me again repeat,
And while you live. the joys cf living taste;
For ''fc y rareh toe short. and time too fleet
in dark r,p.nAzs ai,her gif' to vase;
Heed no, the tlorns ,ha, spring a+ound your
feet,
Heed not the furrows in yonr forehead traced.
And let your cares be offered up hereafter
AS glowing tributes TO the god Of laughter.

TEA SwlSDLERs.-Appleton's Jour
nal makes the following charges against
certain New York tea houses:
Within few years a large number
OF tea companies have sprung up in the
city, which claim to import direct
from China, to furnish a superior art,-
Gle at reduced rates, and which adver-
tise largely all over the country. One
street is fairly lined for a considerable
distance with them. We are assured
by those claiming to know, that sever
al OF these tea establishments are or
ganizcd frauds upon the people, that
they use the leaves of the Camelia,
which SO closely resemble genuine tea
that they are frequently mistaken for
them by botanists; that they largely
import and palm Off upon purchasers,
Chinese "lie tea;N that they use the
leaves of ash, plum and other trees
and mingle them with good tea; and,
furthermore, that they redry and color
genuine tea leaves that have once been
used, or have been damaged by water,
etc. There is one OF these companies
which, we are told, does nothing else
but purchase damaged cargoes or
chests of tea, and then dries it on the
roots of certain building not thous-
and miles from where we are now sit
ting. The drying process having been
completed, small quantity of supe-
rior article is added to the damaged in
order to give flavor; and it is then done
up in packages tor distribution all over
the country. Those who are accus-
toned to patronize these tea establish
ments would certainly do well to ana
lyze and test the quality Of the article
which is dispensed to them.

The GrLF SrREtM-The excessive
drought in England. the unusally vio-
lent and continued rain storms on our
eastern coast. the icebergs which early
in the season blockaded the Gulf Of St.
Lawrence, one of which cut the old
Atlantic cable, and which have been
reported by captains OF whaling ships
floating in immense numbers in the
northern seas, have been attributed to
eccentricities on the part Of the Cult
Stream. This immense body Of water
flowing from the Caribbean sea and tho
Cult. of Mexico in q channel q, well
defined rs that OF river by its banks,
which, however, in the case of tho
Cult Stream, are only banks Of cold
water, past the island of Newtound-
land and spreading out over the east
ern Atlantic from southern Europe to
Iceland, has been understood to ca,tse
the comparatively warm and humid at
mosphere of the British Isles. The
unprecedented drought which has pre-
vailed there this season may be An in.
dication that the course OF this current
has changed, and that it now sets more
towards the east. The increase of
floating ice in the track OF vessels
bound tor Europe and for the north
ern seas would seem to be confirma
ton Of this theory. 10 account tor
the change in the course OF the cur
rent, it is remarked that tremendous
earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
have marked the past year, denoting
violent internal conyulsions of the
earth, which may, IN some unexplained
manner, have affected the course OF
this oceanic current The theory
seems plausible enough, bat, SO far as
we know, no observations have been
made which establish the fac: that any
change in the course of the Gulf Stream
has taken place. If the fact is so it
will not be long without proof from
the observation OF shipmastcrs. The
effect of such change, causing a.
it must natural and permanent mod
ification OF the climate Of the whole Of
Western Europe, would be an inter.
est.ng subject OF speculation.
Such change in the course Of the
Cult Stream has already been noted by
but whether it has been
accompanied by modification OF the
climate of Western Europe, as sug-
gested by our contemporary, We arS
not intofmed.-lWorcester Spy. =

TyRIAS PrRpLE.-The Tyrians ma lie
dyeing their chief occupation, and the
staple of their commerce. A Tyrian
was the inventor OF the purple dye,
about 1900 years before the birth OF
Christ. This dye is believed to have
been derived from two different kinds
OF shell-tish, and was extracted from a
small vessel or sac in their throats to
the amount of one drop from each ami
mails. The color is remarkable for its
durability. In the taking OF Susa, the
Greeks found, in the royal treasury OF
Darius, aquantity of purple cloth, which
still retained its beatty, though 1t had
lain there one hundred and ninty years
This color resists the action even OF

The pistols used by Aaron Burr
and Alexander Hamilton, in their
famous duel at Weehawken, are now in
the possession Of Mr.. Harry Armstrong
of Newburgh. They have been for
many years in the possession OF Com
modore Salter, U. S. n. OF New York,
recently deceased, and were given to
Mr.. Armstrong last week. They are
of the old style of manufacture, flint
locks, mahogany stock, carrying a
half ounce ball. The barrels are
"double and twist" They bear the
mark y. Twiggs, London The pis-
tcls resemble each other exactly. The

Those three words-a history in them
selves-prefaced telegram sent from Flo
rida Yesterday DULY Gth). Then came the
brief but terrible announcement that Mayor
Paul Hamilton, one Of the most gallant gen
tlcmen who ever drew sword IN any
cause. was dcad-dead of q wound received
on the night of the 18th June in an action
somewhere near Los Tunas. He fingered
from that time till the 9th June, and at the
moment Of his death his camp was attacked
by the Spanish forces, and occupied by them
for several hours. Upon the recapture o,
the camp by Hamilton'S men 1t was 1ouno
that the body of their leader had been car
ried away by the enemy. Thus ENDS inc
last eyentful chapter of Il most eventfui lie.
During the late war no sword struck Drawer
blows for the cause of southern liberty,
but in vain. Last winter Major Hamilton
entered, heart and soul, into the Cuban
cause. not noisely, but earnestly, and since
then his mark has been made deep and
broad for the cause he cSpouSed. TO all
who knew him-to the thousands OF OLD
comrades who knew and loved hlm-a heart
pang as for brother lost will come. NO
soul more generous has been offered up i'll
this cause than his. No likelihood was more
freely spent than his. May it not be spent
in vain.
A tiger in battle, his was womans soul
when the fray was done; and the hand
which was first to strike in fight was aiSo
the first to succour the stricken when The
fight was done.
Let none who loved him mourn him. he
died nobly for a noble cause. Died for
