WHAT is LIFE.

A little crib beside the bed,
A littiaface above the spread,
Alittie frock behind the door,
"A little shoe upon the floor.
Alittle lad with dark brown hair,
IA little blue-eyed face and fair,
A little lane that leads to school,
A little pencil, slate and rule.
A little blithsome, winsome maid,
A little hand within his laid;
A little cottage, acres four,
"A little old-time fashioned store.
A little family gathering round;
A little turf-heaped, tear-dewed mound /:
A little added to his soil, 49,.
A little rest from hardest toll.
A little silver in his hair:
A little stool, and easy chair;
A little night of earth-lit gloom;
A little cortege to the tomb.

Gentleman, correspondent asks for in

reply you state all that is necessary is 10
lay the shoots under ene soil, the same

time they will root. In layering roses,
it is far better TO nick each shoot before
iayering. which is done by taking IA
sharp knife and making slanting cut
one inch or SO long upwards from the
place of beginning, about half severing
the shoot. This cut shauId be made at
the EXACT sosntrai point where the shoet
lies under the ground. The action of
bending the same causes the part cut

straight line from the growing part OF
the shoot layered. Pretty soon this COM

free kinds will make ample roots to take
care of themselves after while, even with
the most difficult-and there are few

Gus attractions in town. The highly
amusing Chinese burlesque Ching Chou

Miss Gallons song "Ths Love and Her
Bird" was perfect gem and received a
q hearty encore by the very sppreciative
audience. Messrs. Kelleher, Clark and
Whiffin sang and acted their grotesque,
humorous characters with amusing and
happy effect. The Rose de st. F2eur
was played as an afterpiece, and kept
the audience in roar of laughter to the
very close Between the operas the. re-
nowned DeLsve Sisters nsrformed some
Of their startling feats. Little Zoe seems
az much at home on the trapezs forty
feet above the stage as q squirrel among

safely from her apparent perils, and
gracefully bowed, she was greeted with
spontaneous applause that seemed to
come straight from every heart with one
impulse. She lie quite prodigy 10 her

A section of the law which created
the Board of County Commission
ers provided thai the County Just.
ices were Suspended from the right of
sitting in the capacity Of q county court.
The law has been repealed and is known
to be no longer operative. Hence, the
old law revives, and it is the duty Of the
justices to have o meeting as early as
they can be called together, that they
may elect chairman, and also elect two
associate justices who shall, with the
chairman, constitute the Probate Court.
The duty of calling together the justices
devolves perhaps upon the Commissioner
of Registration, Mr.. Jno. p. Boughner,
though it formerly belonged to the
Sheriff. We hope Mr.. Boughner will
promptly do what is evidently his duty,
that the quarterly court may resume
operations and the present occupants
ousted. Mr.. Beughner should provide
himself with copy Of the act as soon as
possible, that he may proceed advisedly.
The act necessarily takes effect from and
after its passage, and the law which it
repealed is at the same time revived.

On last Friday, Mrs Whitley, wife of
Joseph Whitley, Esq, who lives about
eight miles east of CoviDgton, while
standing near the FIRE was seized with
vertigo and fell into the fire in an un-
conscious state. There being no one
present, the balance of the family having
gone to bury a child of Mr.. and Mrs..
Whitley, the poor lady lay in the fire
until her face, neck and arms were
almost charred by the flames, her eyes
were entirely destroyed, yet strange to
say she was up to yesterday still alive
and concious, though suffering the most
excruciating pain from her burns. Very
little hope is entertained of beg recovery.
