HALTs IN LIFE.-There are times when
our double-quick march to the tomb is
broken by halts. They may not be long
they may last only a few minutes, or
hours ;but they are full ofrcfreshment and
peace, and should be improved by giving
up ourselves to the reflection which we
can not indulge while the march goes on.
The Saturday night halts are the chief Of
these seasons Of reposc. Then, we break
ranks and go home on furlough till Mon
day morning and the Sunday with its
sacred calm and joy comes to refresh our
bodies, rest our minds, and unstring the
faculties so painfully distended by the
week. labor. There are other shorter
halts, too it may be at the breakfast ia
time, we linger over the morning meal to
ask and answer pleasant little questions;
it may be at mid day, at moment when
all have left the counting room, and we
find ourselves alone in the midst of a
strange and solemn silence it may be at
the close Of the day when we wander
slowly homeward, after the tolls of bust
ness, With the still twilight shadows clos
ing round US it may be at night before
slumber seals our eyeslids as we rest on
the pillow; it may be on a journey when
we find ourselves sitting alone in the
midst Of strangers at hotel, or in rail
way car. All these are hats in the march
of life we cease for the time, to feel the
goad of business or necessity urging us
onward, and yield ourselves up to the
repose of the moment. Our bodies rest,
orr minds become unstrung, the immi-
nence of some necessity to be met on the
moment vanishes, and we have time to
look at and think of things that have no
connection with our daily cares, but that
may be more important than all those
cares. These moments ofstilness should
not be regarded as irksome; they should
be given to reflection, for we think too
little amid the clash and clangor of the
struggle Of our daily vocation. Life, in
deed, demands action Of us, but we need
to reflect calmly at times, to know how
to act.

A rather curious lawsuit has just
terminated at Cairo, the plaintiff
being a lady, and the defendant a
man. The lady was engaged to be
married, but was fniled in it by the
defendant, who called the atten-
lion of the lover to the rather prom
inent nasal organ of the lady, tell
ing him such rose was a 81 gn of
bad temper and shiftlessness. This
SO wrought upon the lover that he
broke the engagement, and hence
the suit against the traducer to re-
cover damages. The jury could
not agree, SO the prisoner was ac-
Quilted and set at liberty.

A correspondent Of the Cologne

the state of the environs of Par.
is, only two months ago SO smil-
ing and SO luxurious. After you
leave Brie, you don't see q crea.
ture but Prussian soldiers. In
every direction the French have
blown up the bridges, dug bitches
across the roads, and cut down
the poplars which bordered them,
that they might become obstacles
in the way.
The superb bridge that SPAWNED
the Seine at Villenoueve, is now
replaced by PrnsSian pontoons
Villenoueve is completely denuded
of inhabitants. Not even a cat
or dog is to be seen; absolute
desolation reigns everywhere.
The charming villas are now bar
racks. Common soldiers lie asleep
on sofas upholstered with crinl-
son velvet, which already is utter
ly spoilt. Prussinn dragons and
light cavalrymen take their ease
in the deserted boudoirs of the
lovely PariSiennes, now perhaps
almost destitute in foreign lands
Libraries become harness rooms

DE- A bill enacting a dog
law for Tennessee has been
presented in the House Of Rep
resentatives. Something of
the kind is needed. The State
is overrun with "curs of low
degree" whose depredations
are as disastrous to the sheep
growing interest as cholera to a
life insurance company. The
present law, which provides
that the dogs owner may be
sued and made to pay damages,
is a dead letter. The damaged
party must ascertain and fur
nish proof of the dogs rava-
ges, first ascertaining who the
beast belongs to. This is gen.
orally impossible. The sheep
killing nuisance ought to be
abated. We know several far
mers in this county who have
lost, during the present year,
nearly their entire fiocks, and
all propose abandoning that
branch of husbandry. One
gentleman had a fine buck
killed, for which he had paid
500. Many of the farming
community, however, express a
lack of confidence in the present
Legislature, and expect no re-
lief, except that afforded by the
members quitting the capitol
and going home.
