An Arkansas lawyer being engaged to
prosecute suit against widow, seeing
shat he was going to be beaten, married
the defendant, discharged her attorney,
won his case handily, and collected the
money-aIl of which was considered a
good joke; and then ran away with the
whole amount, which some thought was
q still better joke.
How TO BE HApPY.-We find the fol-
lowing admirable bit of philosophy in an
exchange: "The chief secret of comfort
lies in not suffering trifes to vex one,
and in prudently cultivating an under
growth Of small pleasures, since very
few great ones are let on long leases"

The Non-Beef- Eating Nations.

The relocating Hindoos at one
time took better position among the
nations than they do now, but neither
in war nor in peace did they ever at
tain to any thing Of the standard Of
Europe or America. The Japanese
have for ages been fish rather than
aesh.eating race, and all travellers
agree that they have rather receded
than advanced from the low standard
OF civilization to which they had at
tanned a thousand years ago. The
Chinese are as peaceful and inoffen-
slTe as we would suppose nation Of
rice-eaters might necessarily be. They
have developed, it is true, a genius for
certain mechanical arts, and a quiet
skill in unique handicraft; but Of
those broad purposes of action that
made Rome the mistress of the world,
that now compel the eyes of the plan
ct to turn to France, England and
America, China has known nothing
for the long centuries of her history.
And here may say that in estimating
the relative position of any nation in
history we do not alone consider it's
literature, nor its commerce, nor its
mechanical genius, nor its religion,
nor its system of education, nor its
success in war and legislation, nor its
specimens of individual greatness.
but all these combined. Careless ob-
servers and thinkers, on visiting for
the first time the coasts of China and
Japan, are sometimes so powerfully
impressed with the originality, and
patience, and mechanical genius Of
the people, that they at once accord
to these nations higher relative po-
sition than they really deserve, or
have ever been awarded by the voice
of mankind.
The diet of the nations of Africa,
and of most of the islands OF the sea,
is usally quite meagre, and has too
little of variety to afford the best
kind of nutrition. The inhabitants
of some districts OF South America eat
clay; certain negro tribes feed on
ants; the savages of large portion
of the tropical regions subsist almost
exclusively on fruit; the Greenland
ers gorge themselves on train oil and
blutber; and the peasant of the Apen-
mines oftentimes makes his entire
meal of roasted chestnuts the lower
classes of Europe every where regard
meat as luxury and not as a necess-
ity, and the potatoes and sour milk Of
the Irish have become proverbial.-
But what have the natives of South
America, the savages of Africa, the
stupid Greenlander, the peasantry OF
Europe, all combined, done for civil.

WINE MoRE DANNY THAN CANNo,

WINE MORE DEADLY THAN CANNON.
Wendell Phillips, in an address in
the Music Hall in Boston, once said,
Il know a soldier in the army Of the
Potomac, who was picked up in the
streets of Philadelphia one year ago
a complete wreck, a confirmed inebri-
ate, but who was. by the love of a SIS
ter of charity of Boston home, plac-
ed once more on his feet. He was at
Balls Bluff, and three times with un-
loaded musk ket charged upon the ene-
my. lie was one of the six who he
roically defended and brought away
the body of the fallen leader of that
bloody fight. The captain of the CON-
pany to which he belonged died in his
arms, receiving the last words of con-
ISOLATION from hiS lips. He was alter
wards conspicuous in the conflict, un-
til the orders were given for each one
to seek his own safety. Removing
some of his apparel he plunged into
the inhosoitable river, ard after great
exertion landed on the oppositr bank,
seven miles below he ercampment.
Nearly exhausted, half clad, half starv-
ed, he finally reached the camp. The
captain OF the next company to which
he belonged kindly said 10 him, pour
ing out glass of wine, "Let me give
you this; you will peri,h without it,"
Il thank you, SIR said The st iier,
"but | would sooner face all the can
non Of the enemy than that glass of
wine"

The Bedouin's Rebuke.
Nebar, a Bedouin of noble heart.

NeOar, q BeQOuln OF noble heart,
That from all men received of praise the fee,
Owned q brave horse with which he void not part
Because from death he once had run him Free
The man and beast were friends, and it is vice
To sell our friend or friendship for price.
The horse was black, and strong, his step was
proud;
His neck was arched, his car alert for sound;
His speed the tempest's, and his name cloud
His hoofs woke thunder from the desert ground,
His eyes flashed lightning from the inmost core !;
Victor of distance was the name he bore.
Daher, Bedouin of another tribe,
Had often wished TO buy this famous beast;
And as he smoked, he heard his friends describe
Its comely parts and powers, the wish increased;
But Nebar said the horse should not be sold,
Though offered wealth in camels and in gold.
Then Debar put on rags, and stained his face,
And went to wait for Nebar seeming lame
Him soon he saw approach with daring pace
Upon the enyied horse, and as he came
He cried TO him, "For three days on this spol
Have lain starving; pity me my lot"
And seeing Nebar stop. said on, 81 die
My strength is gone" Down Nebar sp-ang,
And raised him gently with plying sigh,
And set him on his horse. laugh outrang,
And Daher shouted as he plunged his spurs,
Fair price refused, one sells at last for burrs.
"Stay, stay !" cried Nehar. Daher paused to hear,
"Since Heaven has willed that you my beast
should take,
wish you joy; but tell no man, for fear
Another who was really starved might make
Appeal in vain; for some remembering me,
Would fail to do an act of charity"
Oh, sharp as steel to Daher seemed remorse,
He paused moment, then sprang to the ground
And with bowed head brought Nebar back his
horse;
And falling on his honest breast, he wound
His arms about his neck for true amends,
And ever afterwards the two were friends
If all of US. Wheneer we suffer wrong,
Should bear it mildly, since God wills it so,
Nor lend our speech to anger, Like the song
The morning stars sang, life would pass below ;
For he who lightly draws the sword of wrath,
Wounds most himself, and crowds with strife

THE Book OF JOB.-The book of
JOB was written by an Idumean of the
same family as that of the Phgniciars,
while the Greeks were wandering
tribes of barbarians, when they did
not know even the existence of such
a thing as an alphabet. As a work
Of hi h cosmical power, of the rarest
beauty Of thought and felicity of ex-
preston, of widely extended astro-
nomical knowledge, the book of Job
transcends in merit every intellectual
throb of all the combined ancient CIV
ilizations. As monument of intel
lectual power and grace, this Idumean
work may challenge comparison with
any display of mind that has yet been
exhibited by the civilizations. We
estimate Ionic mental grace and pow
er by Homer's Iliad, Greek dramatic
power by Eschylus and Sophocles,
and English by Shakespeare. What
shall be said Of the Cushite Arabian
mind that produced, and of the peo-
pie who preserved the Book of Job :?
Where has its idyllic beauty, grace
and powerey been surpassed ? What
has equalled its cosmical gifts ? What
ancient work On the ethical relations
OF man toward his Creator has more
elevating. ennobling thoughts than
this from the people of whom the
PhGnlcians were a family? When
viewed merely in the dramatic treas
ures contained in Job, the intellect
of Pb@nician civilization may safely
ask to be measured with the intellect.
ual productions of any other people.
The peculiar coHjunctions of the con-
stellations described in JOB enabled
Hales, the great natural philosopher,
TO determine by astronomical compu.
tation the time of Jobs afflictioa. As.
tronomy shows that these stellar con-
functions took place one hundred and
hity years before the time of Abraham.

The GIRLS Can we not bring up
our girls more usefully, less showily,
less dependent on luxury and wealth ?
Can we not teach them from babyhood
that to labor is higher thing than
merely to enjoy and even enjoyment
is never so sweet as when it is earned !?
Can we not put into their minds, what
ever be their station, principles of
truth, simplicity of taste, hopcfuIness,

UNION CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICAN CON-
MIrTEE, WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 26, 1870
Sir:-The political campaign of 1870, which
has already been commenced in some of the
States, promises to be contested with more
than usual activity by the Democratic party;
it is, therefore, necessary that it should be met
with spirit and determination Every Repub-
lican whose attention has been directed to
the subject will readily see the necessity of
prompt and decisive action. The only defense
needed by the administration is, that the
people may be furnished with the facts as
they exist. To accomplish this, money will
be necessary to defray the expense of print
ing and circulating documents, and in send
ing competent speakers into the field. Your
position in the Republican party warrants
the committee in believing that you would
willingly contribute to this purpose. They
have, therefore, thought proper to call upon
you for a contribution of s, the receipt of
which will be promptly acknowledged, and
the money expended in maintaining Republi-
can principles.
Where it can be done money should be
sent by draft, money-order, or in registered
letters, made payable and directed to Hon. j.

THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE SECRET TREATY.
PARIS, July 2S.-The Journal O6ictl of
this morning prints the following letter from
the Emperor, dated on July 26:-
$50 the Commander-in-Chie of the Garde
Rationale of Paris-Dear General begyou
to express on my part to the Garde Rationale
of Paris how much / count on its patriotism
and devotion at a moment when l am about
to set out for the army. 1 nave to testify to
it the confidence l repose in its will and
ability to maintain order in Paris, and to con-
tribute to the security of the regency of the
Empress. 1t is becoming to say that each
one, according to the means of his ability,
shall add to the safety of the country"
The Journal Obicid also contains a letter
from st. Petersburg, in which it is said that
Russia does not sympathize with Prussia,
who wishes to make a Prussian lake of the
Baltic, and attacks the independence of Dem
mark and that of half of Germany.
IL having been reported here that several
American officers desired to follow the French
army in the campaign against Prussia, for
the purpose of making observations for the
use of the American Government, petitions
were lately fled with the Government for the
necessary permission, but the request was
declined, the highest military authorities of
the empire repeating that no foreign officer,
however high his rank, would be permitted
near the French army.
The Emperor left st. Cloud to-day by spe-
cial train for the army, accompanied by
Prince Napoleon. TIL Empress parted with
them at the railway station. She was deeply
moved, and, as soon as the train disappeared,
returned to the palace. -
