Senate. The latter l did not witness.
In the House, Andrew johnson was
nominated by 1Ir. Rosson, Of Harde-
man, staunch friend, by the way, Of
T. A. r. Nelson. He began to pro-
nounee an eulogium upon the eX-
President, but was silenced by the sug-
gested improperly Of such speeches.
The number Of votes received by Mr..
Johnson was less than 1 anticipated,
because two more were in the field

be presented. Nine votes were thus
withdrawn, seven of which, 1t was
stated, would be given to Mr.. john

A METHODIST MARTYR IN Texas
The New Orleans Advocate, edited by
DR.. John Z. Newman an eminent cler-
gyman of b e methodist episcopal
church, who went from the north, con-
tains an account of the murder of
Rev. Edward Brooks, an educated
colored preacher, who was regularly
stationed by the bishop at Milhian,
Texas. After the troubles that fol-
lows the "Milhian riots" from which
he had been very active in removing
his people, he was ordered to Austin,
to report to Gen. Reynolds. On his
way he found himself pursued by a
band OF armed men, from whom he
fled, and took refuge in the Brazos
river bottoms. But the bloodhounds
were soon upon his path and uncover
ed his retreat to his bloody pursuers.
Having secured their victim, they de-
manded that he should disclose the
object OF his mission to Austin, and
that he should recant his republican
principles. Refusing to do either,
they began to torture him In the most
cruel manner. They stripped the flesh
from him but he refused to recant ;
they broke his legs but he declined to
forswear his honor and his faith, and
they then hung him up by the neck till
lie died a martyr to his church and
country. After the murder the color
ed people were permitted to take the
body Of their pastor down and give
it decent burial

DON'T Do IT.-Dont speak a harsh,
unkind word, and thus make sad the
heart of another. Speak gently; 'tis
better.
Don't make the burden of another
heavier, when it is in your power to
Tighten the same. Keep in good hu-
NOR, anger is waste of vitality. No
man or boy does his best except when
cheerful
A light heart makes nimble hands,
and keeps the body healthy and the
mind free.
Don't let others say that you are
selfish, and care only for yourself.
Don't live for your own comfort
and enjoyment alone; live for others.
Don't neglect the precious soul COM
nitted to your charge; remember it
must live forever
Don't waste the holy Sabbath; its
hours are too valuable.
Don't turn away from the bible it
is the book by which you will be
judged.
Don't speak against christians; re-
member their faults will not save you.
Don't live merely for the world;
remember the endless future, which
will make deeper impression than
we are aware of.

MORE SOUTHERN LIFE.-The IA
nous duelling ground at New Orleans
known as The Oaks was lately the
scene of a sanguinary duel between
two young men of that CITY, which
has rarely had its parallel i'll the an
nails of the code either in this country
or in Europe. The antagonists were,
the one a native creole of New Or
leans, the other Frenchman by birth !;
the provocation a blow in the face at
the hand Of the creole; the weapons
were broadswords; the hour day
break. Arrived on the field, accom-
panied by their seconds, the combat
ants stripped to the waists, and sword
in hand, in the freezing air of the
morning, sprang at each other like
tigers. There was no hesitation or
playing to try each others skill. A
few lunges and cuts were successfully
parried, when suddenly an up cut
from the Frenchman'S sword wound
ed his opponent in the right arm. the
riposte from the creole laid open the
Frenchman's left cheek, laying the in
side open and exposing lis teeth
Nothing daunted, the wounded man
stepped back, had a handkerchief
bound round his face and again put
himself in an attitude Of ofenSe. His
first lunge penetrated the breast OF
his antagonist, between the rib and
the skin, but it was made with such
relentless force that it passed also
through the off arm. An attempt was
made at this moment by the seconds
to stop the matter at that point, but
the man with the handkerchief around
his jaws rushed at the second who
was most anxious to settle the matter
sword III hand, asservating that naught
should quiet his animosity except q
cut across the throat. The battle was
renewed and lasted until the creole
had received eight wounds and the
other six, all severe and painful, but
none, it is hoped, dangerous. Both
men displayed extraordinary courage
animosity and endurance, and during
the course Of the bloody encounter
neither was willing to give up the
contest until both had to let theil
hands fall helpless to their sides from
loss of blood and the pain of theil
wounds. The parties were carried
home after having their wounds dress
ed, and though the creole had two
more wounds, his situation was more
comfortable and less critical than tha
of his antagonist.

TEMPERANCE FACTs.- Massachu-

TEMPERANCE FACTs.- Massachu-
setts, Vermont and Maine have pro-
hibitory law, and they claim that, if
the law is not always enforced, they
are, on the whole, more temperate
under the law. Massachusetts ex-
pends annually for liquors retailed
there about s23 per capita for the
whole population. Rhode Island has
a license law, and they retail at the
rate $45 per capita. Maine has a
prohibitory law, and sells $l3 per cap
ita. California makes wine to lessen
the use of ardent spirits, but still uses
$157 per capita. We wonder how
much they would use if they did not
cultivate wine. Missouri sold liquors
to the amount of $40 per capita. Wis
consin sold $50 per capita. Pennsyl-
vania sold more than $50 per capita
New Jersey sell $63 per capita. New
York sold $62 per capita. Maryland
sold $50 per capita. None of these
states sold less than twice the amount
per capita sold in Massachusetts.
Compare the following three pro-
hibitory states with four license states
possessing in the aggregate, about
the same population, and the amount
of the retail liquor trade, they stand
thus:

ADVICE TO THE MARRIED.-Zchokke
in one of his tales, gives the follow
ing excellent advice:
In the first solitary hour after the
ceremony, take the bridegroom and
demand solemn VOW of him and give
him VOW in return. Promise each
other, sacredly, never, not even in
Jest, to wrangle with each other
never to handy words or to indulge
in the least ill-humor. Never-I say
nev6E Wrangling in jest, and put
ting on an air of ill-humor merely to
tease, becomes earnest by practice
Mark that Next, promise each other
sincerely and solemnly, never to keep
a secret from each other, under what
ever pretext, and whatever excuse it
might be. You must continually, and
every moment, see clearly into each
others BOSOM Even when one Of you
has committed fault, wait not an in
slant, but confess it. And as you keep
nothing from each other, SO, on the
contrary, preserve the privacles of
your house, marriage state and heart,
from father, mother, sister, brother,
aunt, and all the world. You two,
with Gods help, build your own quiet
world. Every third or fourth one
you draw it into with you will form a
party and stand between you two
That should never be. Promise this
to each other. Remember the VOW
at each temptation. You will find
your account in it. Your souls will
grow, as it were, to each other, and
at last will become as one. All, if
many a pair had, on their marriage
day, known this secret, how many
marriage were happier than, alas, they
are

The Dark.
Where do the chickens run

Where do the chickens run
When they are afraid?
Out of the light, out of the sun,
Into the dark, into the shade,
Under their mothers downy wing,
No longer afraid of anything.
Dear little girl, dear little boy,
Afraid of the dark
Bid goodbye to the daylight with joy,
Be glad of the night, for hark!
The darkness no danger at all can bring
1t is the shadow of Gods wing.
Where do the little violets creep
In the time of snow?
Into the dark to rest and sleep,
And to wait for the spring they go
Under the ground where no storm can
reach,
And God takes tenderest care of each.
Are you afraid, little girl or boy,
OF the dark of death?
Jesus will carry you full joy,
To the world of light, he saith;
And under the ground, where the violet<
sleep,
Your little bodies the Lord will keep

JOSH BILLINGS PRovERBs.-The
fear of the law here, and the law here
after, has furnished US some very
clever specimens of christianity.
Fools don't know their strength; if
they did they would keep still.
Beauty never dies; it is like truth,
they both have an Immortality some
where.
If you would make yourself agreea-
BILE wherever you go, listen to the
grievances of others, but never relate
your own.
Common sense is almost generally
despised by those who havn't got it.
Although mankind worship wealth,
| will give them credit for one thing
they seldom mistake it for brains.
Treason is one of those stains which
wash well.
Shut New England out in the cold !
| should as soon think of shutting the
cold out of New England.
Monuments are poor Investments
the bad don't deserve them, and the
good don't need them.
The best way to keep secret is to
forget it.
1t isn't so much trouble to get rich,
as it is to tell when we have got rich.
If man wants to get at his actual
dimensions, let him visit graveyard.
1t is good plan to know good
many people, but to let only a few
know you.

HEAvEN.-Heaven is not a spot to
lie down in, and there, on our couches,
tuning our harps, to think how much
misery we have personally escaped.
The christian heaven is an exalted So
ciety of self-sacrifcing spirits, bound
together in mutual fellowship by their
common conservation to Him who is
above them. where each accepted soul
will 60 from strength to strength, run
and not be weary, toll and not faint,
aspire and not be baff1ed, do good and
not be misinterpreted, and will be as
simulated in ever closer and closer
affinity to Him who is its light and
life, in whom whosoeyer liveth and
believeth shall never die.

The Seed and the Sewers.

Ever so little the seed may be,
Ever so little the hand,
But when it is sown it must grow, you see,
And develop its nature, weed, flower, or
tree:
The sunshine, the air, and the dew are free
At its command.
Ifthe seed be good, we rejoice in hope
OF the harvest it will yield.
We wait and watch for its springing up,
Admire its growth, and count on the crop
That will come from the little seed we drop
In the great wide field.
But five heedlessly scatter wide
Seeds we may happen to find,
We care not for the culture or what may
betide,
We SOW here and there on the highway
side;
Whether they've lived or whether they've
died,
We never mind.
Yet every sower must one day reap
Fruit from the seed he has sOwn.
How carefully then it becomes us to keep
A watchful eye on the seed, and seek
To SOW what is good, that we may not weeE
To receive our own.

TASTAS' PULMONIC BALSAM,
Lungs and Oh

IFTho attention of those afflicted with colds,
coughs, and with any disease Of the lungs, IS dl-
rected to this valuable remedy. The season OF
the year has already come when, on account OF
the sudden changes in the weather, colds ana
coughs are easily taken, and if neglected may
lead to disease ofthe lungs. What is needed un-
der such circumstances is a reliable remedy
speedy in atfording relief and effectua in arrest
ing further progress of the disease.
UeTo arrest the existing irritation of the air
passages and the lungs, speedily and effectually,
the seat and cause Of cough is an important step
gained toward relief and cure in the first stages
ofthe disease. MAsTA's PULMoNIC BALsAM pos
sesses this important power, and while tprompt-
" and efectuaIy arrests all existing irritation
and rapidly relieves cough, it renders the lungs
further relief by promoting free discharge OF
the accumulated mucus in the air passages, i'm
parting a healthy action and vigor to the chest
at the same time.
IPThose suffering with coughs and the first
stages of lung disease, will therefore find in this
valuable preparation speedy and decided re-
lief Even those whose condition is beyond re-
cOvcry, will derive from its use great benefit as
welas comfort For the class of diseases it is de-
signed to relieve, the general commendation it
has received has proved its great efficacy beyond
question. For the past ten years thousands have
been speedily and effectually cured by its timely
use while suffering from severe colds, protracteG
coughs and from other forms OF lung disease -
lis prepared from vegetable balsams with the
medicinal properties ofroots and herbs, with nc
minerals nor poisonous acids, simple and safe ii

Fowl BUSINESS W. Barrows
of Waterford raised the past season
forty-four turkeys which he sold for
$40. But the most remarkable part
of the story is, he had only two tur-
keys to begin with, and the $40 is the
product of those two turkeys, with a
little help some hens gave them in
hatching the eggs. He has a good
gobbler and two hen turkeys left
We think those two turkeys paid
their way pretty well.

When Thomas Scott, the eminent
