THE impression prevails to some extent
that the Legislature which is to meet next
Winter is to elect successor to Senator
Cole. 1t is not SO. Senator Coles term
does not expire till the 4th of March,
1873, and as the Act of Congress provides
that the United States Senators of State
shall be elected by the Legislature next
preceding the expiration Of the term of the
sitting Senator it will be the Legislature
which assemblies in December, 1871, that
will elect Mr. Coles successor.

his health has been very poor and is

The 4 Weelzamlzen Daellipg Ground
where Alexander Hamilton was killed
by Aaron Burr, in 1904, is situated on
1.-THE Hudson river, about two miles
above Hoboken, nearly opposite New
York city. Itwas in 1904 grassy
ledge or shelf, twenty feet above the
water, and six feet wide. by thirty-six

duels that occurred there. Access was
only attained on the water by meansiof
boats and q natural fight Of rocky
steps. The spot at the present time
has been so altered by modern improve
mentsas to be hardly recognizable as the
once historic duelling ground. Moth
ing now remains but weather beaten
stone, containing in almost obliterated
characters, the. name of Alexander
Hamilton. A similar stone with Burr's
name upon it, has been used as cover

WoRMs AS A DIET. 1.-THE savans now
in session at Salem, Mass, have been
Ionce more discussing that interesting
subject, tricbinae, or pork worms, and,
in common with all others who ever
bestowed any research or reelection Con
the subject, have concluded that pork
lis better as an article of food without
the worms than with them Many per-
Isons, alarmed by the frightful cases of
death resulting from eating trichinae,
have Sustained from eating pork in any
shape, although it is well established
that the worms do no harm if they are
sufficiently cooked, But statement
made, by Prot. Agassiz, than whom
there can be no higher scientific author
Iity, is calculated to startle all timid
people who are blessed with good APP
ipetites. The Prof. says that such
worms are present in all meats and even
vegetables, Z but he Considerably adds
that there is no danger if they be
properly cooked, That will do for US.
We shall eatno more raw mutton or
iunderdone venison, Not any, thank
you. Ii we must diet on worms, we
will take ours cooked, and the fewer
the better.

KNOWING EAoH OTHER's HEAgTs.-.

Knowing EACH OTHERS HEARTS,
If we could but read each others hearts,
we should be kinder to each other
If we knew the woes and bitterness
and physical annoyances Of our neigh
bors, we should make allowances. for
them which we do not now. We go
about masked, uttering stereotyped
sentiments, hiding our heart pangs
and headaches as carefully as we can;
and yet we wonder that others do not
discover them by intuition. We cover
our best feelings from the light; we do
not so conceal our resentments and
our dislikes, of which we are proned to
to be proud. Often two people sit
close together, with II love YOU in
either heart, and neither knows it. -
Each thinks, II could be fond; but
what use Of wasting fondness on one
who does not care for it," and SO they
part, and go their ways alone. Life is
a masquerade. at which few unnask,
even to their very dearest. And
though there is need of much masking,
would to haven we dared to show plain
~ our real faces. from birth to death,
for then some few, at least, would tru-
~ love each other. tE H17|Hr'
