SMILE AND BE CONTENTED,

The world grows old. and men grow cold,
To each while seeking treasure,
And what with want a,I6 cares and toll
We scarce have time for pleasure;
But never mind, that Is a loss
Not much to be lamented;
Life rolls on gaily II we will
But smile and be contented.

II will not be by pining;
MOI steady hearts and hopeful minds
Are life's bright silver lining.
There's never man that dared TO hope,
Hath Of his choice repentcd
The happiest souls on earth are those
Who smile and be cOntented.
When grief doth come to rack the heart,
And fortune bids us SORROW,
From hope We may blessing read,
And consolation borrow;
II thorns may rise and roses bloom,
II cannot be prevented
SO make the best OF life you can,
And smile and be contented.

Some Mothers Child.
BY FRANCES L. KKELER.

AZ home or away, in the alley or street,
Wherever chance in this wide world to meet
girl that is thoughtless or boy that Is wild,
My heart echoes softly, "Tis some mothers
child"
And when | see those DER whom long years
have rolled,
Whose hearts have grown hardened, whose
spirits are cold,
De 1t woman all fallen, or man all deiiled,
voice whispers sadly, "Ah some mothers
child"
No matter how far from the right she hath
strayed;
No matter what inroads dishonor hath made;
No matter what elements cankered the pearl
Though tarnished and sullied, she Is some
mothers girl.
No matter how wayward his footsteps havo
been
No matter how deep he Is sunken In sin;
No matter how low is his standard of 10y
Though guilty and loathsome, he is some moth
ers' boy.
That head hath been pillowed on tenderest
breast;
That form hath been wept DER, those lips have
been press'd;
That soul hath been prayed for in tones sweet
and mild;
For her sake deal gently with some mothers
child.

The following circular letter issued
from the White House, was presented to
Mack, who deliberately prints it:
HEADQUARTERS GRANT GIYT. ENrERPRIsE,(
WHITE House, March, 1863. J
The following instructions are issued
for the benefit of those seeking Office
under the new administration
Applicants must state the extent and
character of the contribution made by
them the time when made; its value
then and it's value now Ii it consisted
Of real estate they must specify whether
it was improved or uuimproved; whether
town or country property. If city lots
whether corner or otherwise; also,
whether abutting en- an alley or not; if
country property how near TO railroad,
and whether prairie or timbered. II
improved city property, whether gas aud
water are in all the rooms.
If the contribution consisted of money,
the applicant must state the precise
sum, and whether it was in bonos, gold
or currency.
If the contribution consisted in horses,
the applicant must state precisely the
age, color, sex and condition of the
animal, and whether thoroughbred or
not, with carefully prepared pedigree
in the former case.
Contributions other than real estate,
money or horses may be classsd under
the general head of miscellaneous"
but the items must be distinctly given,
together with their value, etc
Future contributions must be made in
money or improved city property. This
rule will admit of no deviation. The
number of horses on hand forbid further
additions, and the unstable character of
farm property will not warrant the &C.
cumulation of that species of real estate.
To accommodate customers, however.
real estate agent will be attached to the
headquarters staff, whose duty it will be
to use his best endeavors to sell country
property, and to convert it into money
for the benefit of applicants for office.
All contributions must be made and
receipted for before the applicants claims
are passed upon. This rule is necessary
to avoid repetition Of the unpleasant
arising few days since out of
a case in which the applicant was found
to be disqualified after the appointment
had been made. in no case will gle
money be refunded.
Compliance with the above instructions
will greatly facilitate business.

Strange Euptials = An Angry Husband
Parts with his Wife at the Altar.


Strange Nuptials - An Angry Husband
Parts with his Wife at the Altar.
From the New Orleans Picayunel
Sometime since a well known young
gentleman appeared at one of our metro.
politan churches with very beautiful
young lady, and invoking the services Of
the minister, was immediately united to
her in marriage. The lady appeared
deeply agitated. and there was stern
determination visible on the countenance
of the youth-a pale. angry face-evinc-
ing anything but joy in the nuptials
As soon as the ceremony was concluded,
the man turned to the lady with the re.
mark:
Il have kept my promise now-you
are married to me but I'll never look on
your face again"
There was frantic appeal in the girls
actions and tears. She begged, implored
him to recall his words-promised some
wild things better left unpriuted-and
then sank faintisg to the floor The
man turned on his heel and quilted the
apartment.
What did it mean?
The simple relation of facts look like
the coloring of romance, yet are they
true in every particular. When it is fur
ther stated that the parties are of high
social position, have numerous relations,
aud that they were utterly unattended,
the mystery will appear more strange.
Their friends have tried vainly to re.
concile the matter. An obstinate silence
greets every appealin behalf of the lady,
and she, if indeed she can, refuses any
explanation.

An Apt Anecdots Of Andrew jackson

From the New York Herald
The character in which the politician
should appear in these days is that Of
"an old and intimate friend of General
Grant that is if he is eager for fat
place, and can prove bis claim to the
character. There probably nev.r was a
man go rich in friends as Grant has be-
come since the idea has spread abroad
that more would be given for personal
than for party considerations. We are
not inclined to regard it as an abuse that
a man should stick to his friends. Old
men will remember the persistenoy with
which General jackson nominated GER
tain Gwin for good office. The Senate
regularly refused to confirm Gwin, and
jackson always sent bis name in again.
Finally, Jackson had his way, and Gwin
had his place. Some one asked the Gen.
eral the meaning of his persistency, and
be said "When my mother and her lit
tie ones, of whom | was one, were strug-
Cling in the wilderness, she found a good
friend in an old Baptist minister named
Gwin. This man is that old Gwin's son,
and, by the Eternal, the administration
shall 20 down rather than that man shall
suffer" he who has not this virtue OF
sticking to his friends generally has no
other; and he who has it, and with it has
Grants discretion, will never let it carry
him into abuses.

A veteran musician Of the first rank /

A veteran musician of the FIRST rank in
London urges that encores ought to be
suppressed. They fatigue the artists,
protract the performances, and are sure
TO displease some of the audience. In
classical works of any dimensions the
repetition of any movement damages the
effect of that which follows. Ia sacred
and secular works familiar to the people
certain fsvorite pieces are stereotyped
encores, quite irrespective of the style
in which they are occasionally given. A
few top notes, delivered with an inflated
chest, for final cadence, are sure bait
to secure an encore to young, aspiring
vocalist. Tenor singers, with tender
throats, suffer most in complying with
these indiscreet demands upon their
exertions.

Opium Eating.


Despite the various articles written in
the magazines and newspapers in denun-
citation of the practice of opium eating,
it seems to be on the increase, both in
England and in this couatry. A chemi.
cal analysis of this drug shows why and
how it is that 1t completely deranges the
internal economy of the system, as well
as why the recuperstive power of the con-
6rmed opium-eaters is go slight The
drug is a combination of the most subtle
and various poisons known to science,
containing no less than twenty-five ele-
ments. nearly all of them more or less
noxious. First, there are three earthly
salts. Then there are three acids. acetic,
meconic and sulphuric, all swift to work
on the mucous tissues. Besides these
are: a green chlorophyl, unclassifed,
lieuiu, mucilagin and bassorine, the
.swiftest of poisons; the nitrogenous al
kaloids-porpbyroxin,. narcein, thebain
of which one grain has produced te-
tanic suasms-narcotin, codein. oplaniD
metamorphia, and morphia. This dia-
bolical combination gradually effects
Differentiation of the membranes, a
paralysis of the excretory functions, a
deraugement of the liver, diminntion Of
all the vital energies Of the system, irreg-
ulariiy Of the bowels, and disorder OF the
nervous system. A recent writer says of
the desperate fight which the reforming
opium-eaier must make, that "in the
worst conceivable cases it is at least
choice between evils; if be abOndons
