THE CIGARNAKKRs' INTERNATIONAL UNIoN.--
This body closed the sitIings Of their Sixth les
sion on last Saturday forenoon. The sess ion
was an important and interesting one to the ,'ci-
garmskers of the country, ard judging from lthe
material Of which the Convention was com Ros-
ed, We are Of opinion that the several uni ons
represented deserve credit for their good j. Dig
ment and foresight The several gentlemen
whom We saw and heard in the Convention
would have done credit, as representative ISen,
to any deIiberatiye body in our country, ant We
sincerely hope that the laws passed and altkra-
tiOus effected by them, will prove beneA to
the noble craft whom they so worlhily rekre-
sented. The Convention, previous to adjotrn-
ment endorsed the action Of the National la
BOZ Congress on the Coolie question, and a ect-
ed their vice. president, Mr. J. W. Levine, u re-
present the Cigarmakers' International Unidh at
the next session Of the Congress, to be heH in
Cincinnati in 1870. The selection Of Mr.. Id inc
for this honorable position is one Of the Eery
best that could have been made, as Mr.. Ii has
not only made the SUI Jet Of trades unionl his
study during the last twenty five years, b h he
is heart and soul III sympatl with the hole
labor movement We venture to predicttthat
Mr. L. will DO credit both to himself ans the
large and respectable body whom he sem
there to represent While il this conndS :tiOr

THE TRADKs UxIoEs.-These institutions are
still maintaining state of ''masterly inactivi-

cause. Perhaps it is, but then it is not an easy

Four Days DELIBERATIoN.-In an
old Dutch settlement of Mohawk Valley,
a very honest old farmer Of the Little
Fur Corners was elected Justice of the
Peace. 1t was not supposed that Squire
v. had amassed much legal learning, but
he was quite noted for-his unsophisticat-
ed honesty and frankness-indeed a blunt
Dutchman. whose heart never erred, but
whose head had very little connected
with it in the administration of his Off
cial functions. 1t happened that his first
case was quite hotly contested by the
lawyers on both sides. They summed it
up elaborately, and after they got through
quoting from "Cowen's Treatise" the
bar-room of the hotel (his ofice) being
crowded with eager spectators, to hear
the first decision of the new Justice, the
old man deliberately folded up his dock
ct, put it under his arm, lit his pipe, and
said
"Vell, shentleman, I shall take four
days to decide, but shall eventually find
judgment for de plaintiff.

Saturday Night.

How many a kiss has been given--how
many a curse--how many caress-how
many looks Of hate--how many prom
ise has been broken--how many heart
has been wrecked-how many soul lost
how many loved one lowered to the
narrow chamber-how many babe has
gone forth from earth to heaven-how
many little crib or cradle stands silent
now, which last Saturday night held the
rarest of the treasures of the heart A
week is life. A week is history. A
week marks events of sorrow or of glad
ness which people never heed. Go home,
you heart-erring wanderer. Go home, to
the cheer that awaits you, wronged waif
on life's breakers. Go home to your FAM
lily, man of business. Go home to those
you love, man of toll, and give one night
to the joys and comforts fast flying by.
Leave your books with complex figures
leave everything-your dirty shop,
your busy store. Rest with those you
love; for God alone knows what
next Saturday night will bring you.
Forget the world of care, the battles
with life which have furrowed the week.
Draw close around the family hearth.
Saturday night has awaited your coming,
in sadness, in tears and silence. Gohome
to those you love, and as you bask in the
loved presence, and meet to return the
loved embrace of your hearts pets, strive
to be better man, and to bless God for
giving His weary children so dear step
ping stone in the river to the Eternal, as
Saturday night.

THE PARKMAN When
Prof. Webster confessed to its minutest
details the murder of his friend DIR. Geo.
Parkman, in the Boston medical college,
nearly 20 years ago, and remorsefully
besought forgiveness of Parkman's broth
er, one might have felt tolerably sure,
not only that the thing was so, but that
itwould never be contradicted. But that
unexpected contradiction has come. One
Thomas Barrett, who signs himself one
of the jury,"-and there really was a
Juror of that name on the case.-has
written to the New Orleans Times let
ter of self-accusation. He declares that
he murdered DIR. Parkman, that he dis
posed of the body and it never was found,
that Prof. Webster was entirely innocent
and that he, Barrett, after long strug-
gle with himself, relieves himself of "this
terrible incubus" He alludes to the re-
mains scattered about the medical col.
lege in 1S49 as corresponding in many
respects to those of the missing man.
Whether Thomas Barrett is an alias as
sumed to start a sensation, or whether he
is the juror Barrett gone crazy in this
queer way, awaits further revelation
which perhaps we shall never get.

Nor HUMANE.-It is not humane:
First-to work horse after the skin of
any part exposed to pressure is broken.
By continuing to use him in this state,
the sore increases, the poor animal suffers
pain, eventually becomes unfit for work,
and thus much more of his labor is lost
for want of that kindness which it is
both our duty and interest to bestow.
Second-To leave horses that have
been driven fast exposed to the cold
without cover. This cruelty is too COM
mon. Animals sometimes suffer for
hours in this way while their riders are
enjoying themselves by fire within
doors, forgetful Of the poor creatures
who cannot complain. Chills thus pro-
duced are the cause of fever and infam-
nation, the most common diseases of
horses.
Third To overload, or ride an over
loaded vehicle.
Fourth-To neglect to keep axles
properly oiled, or creased.
Fifth--To let your horse hold the
weight of a loaded cart, when you can
save him by putting rest under the
shafts.
Sixth-To use animals unnecessarily
on the Sabbath, which was made as much
for them as for you.
Seventh-To order carriages long be-
fore they are wanted, thus compelling
both horses and drivers to remain unnec-
essarily exposed to the weather.
| Eighth-To mutilate dogs by cutting
their ears or tails, or horses by cutting
off their tails, or shaving off the hail
which nature has provided for their Gov
erfng, to lessen the labor of hostlers in
grooming them. Our Dumb animals

For thee stern Winters social fires should burn.
For thee resound the minstrelsy of Spring.
For thee should Flora shed her soft perfume,
For thee her luscious fruits should Summer yield,
For thee should Autumn's waving harvest loom,
For thee Pomona's vintage crown the field.
And all the rolling seasons should be thine,
And thine they shall be. for thy soul is pure
And virtues shields with energy divine,
From all the ills that mortals must endure.

day. 1t was the perfect (" blackness of
darkness" not the faintest outline of any
object could be discerned against tae sky.
A light would penetrate it but very
little way, and then seemed to disclose
but solid wall of blackness around
Many persons who were out, became be-
wildered and lost for the time. 1t was
an anxious night of watching in many a
household, but the dawn at length broke;
bright and beautiful, and never was the
face of the broad, bright sun more joy
fully greeted. My mother, then a child
of nine years, had perfect recollection
of many of the incidents Of that memo
rable day, particularly that of the sud-
den appearance in their midst, of two
venerable maiden sisters, Susan and Mary
Stevens, better known as Aunt Susie, and
Sister Mollie, who lived by themselves in
the old house" near by. Solitary and
alone they had endured the terrors of
the hour, until they could bear it no
longer, when they "cut and run" SEEM
ingly impressed with the idea that if safe
ty, comfort and consolation could any
where be found amid the impending
"wreck of matter and crash of worlds"
it must be in the presence and under the
roof of their kind friend and good neigh
Dor Proctor, and his family. | doubt
not there are some readers of the AdUer-
tiser who remember the venerable man
sion of these sisters, with its .dilapidated
roof and shattered easements, where
:" Winters snow, and Autumns driving. rain
Gained free admission through each broken pane"
1t stood for many years, abandoned
and desolate, in the middle of Susie's
field at the cut"
The Dark Day has passedinto history,
and the world has continued to wag on
as before, as it probably will do for an
indefinite time to come.-Cape Ann Ad-
vertiser.

The HEART.-The effect of every
thing that touches the heart is multiplied
by the intensity of the hearts own
changes. Hence it is that it is SO sensi-
tive-so true and quick an index of the
body's state. Hence, also, it is that it
never wearies. Let me remind you of
the work done by our hearts in day.
A mans total ou ward work, his whole
effect upon the world, in twenty-four
hours, has been reckoned at about three
hundred and fifty foot-tons. That may
be taken as good "hard days work" !"
During the same time, the heart has been
working at the rate of one hundred and
twenty foot tons.
That is to say, if all the pulses of the
day and night could be concentrated and
welded into one great throb, that throb
would be enough to throw ton of iron
one hundred and twenty feet into the
air. And yet the heart is never weary.
Many of us are tired after but feeble
labors; few of us can hold a poker out
at arms length without, after few min
utes, dropping it. But a healthy heart,
and many an unsound heart, too-though
sometimes you can tell in the evening,
by its stroke, that it has been vexed
during the day, that it has been thrown
off its balance by the turmoils and wor-
ries of life-goes on beating through the
night while we are asleep, and when We
awake in the morning, we find it at
work, fresh as if it had only begun to
beat. 1t does this because upon each
stroke Of work there follows period, a
brief, but real period of rest; because
tie next stroke which comes is but the
natural sequence of that rest, and made
to match it because, in fact, each beat
is, in force, in scope, in character, in ev-
erything, the simple expression of the
hearts own energy" Wonders Of the
Hearts Action" IN Appleton's journal.
