Monkeys and Memories.

Authors generally think that the
monkey race is not capable of retain
ing lasting impressions, but their
memory is remarkably tenacious when
striking events call it into action. A
monkey which was permitted to run
free had frequently seen the men ser
wants in the great country kitchen, with
its huge fireplace, take down a powder
horn that stood on the chimney-piece
and throw a few grains into the fire,
to make Jemima and the rest of the
maids scream, which they always did
on such occas ons very prettily. Pug
waited his opportunity, and when all
was still, and he had the kitchen to
himself, he clambered up, got posses
sion OF the well-flled powder-horn,
perched himself gingerly on one of the
horizontal wheels placed for the support
OF saucepans, right over the warm
ashes of an almost extinct wood fire,
screwed off the top of the horn, and
reversed it over the crate. The explo-
sion sent him half way up the chimney.
Before he was blown up he was a snug,
trim, aforementioned monkey as ever
you could wish to see on a summer
day; he came down carboneted mig
ger in miniature, in an avalanche of
burning SCOT. The weight with which
he pitched upon the hot ashes in the
midst Of the general flare up aroused
him to Q sense of his condition. He

The Figures.

The lntslEgencer has at last come to
the conclusion that our figures concern
lag the result Of the recent election in
this State are not very far wrong after
all. Having heard from Mcdowell,
usually the last to make return, it is
now willing to concede Democratic
majority in the State of not less than
1000 After all its desperate attempts
to be funny about our arithmetic, 1t
. conceds the correctness OF our addition,
and the approximate accuracy Of the
totals. We hope to present, at as early
day as possible, complete official re-
port Of the number of votes cast for
each candidate on the State ticket, and
for the candidates for Congress in the
several districts. 1t is not likely how
ever that the official figures will fall
much below those already published.

Modern Cant.

In last Sundays New York Star,
Mr.. M. 7. Jugg," who is well known
to be Joseph Howard, the editor, writes
as follows of religion:
Speaking of cant naturally reminds
one of modern religion. That is, the
stuff which people nowadays call IRE
ligion." And il you bring yourself
face to face with the facts it does seem
TO me that, religiously viewed, we're
all set of Consummate asses.
remember hearing very eloquent
preacher describe his probable recep-
lion in heaven. Briefly put, he ex-
pected that some ten or twelve thousand
angels would hover over his deathbed,
and when the final moment was past he
would be carried straight through clouds
Of rejoicing spirits to the very gate of
heaven. Once there the gates would
fly open, and troops of nutitudeS OF
frst-class angels would swarm and
struggle for the privilege Of presenting
him before the Father, who would re-
ceive him as his son.
Now, that's very pretty peiee of
bosh, it seems to me. One man is just
as good as another, and Just as much
Of a son, and according to common
sence reasoning there have been, and
probably will be, a great many sons in
the world-say a billion billions-be-

sense, made like us all, built with the

sons as the rest of Us, stand up in his
pulpit and blather his bathostic trash
all over his people, lille numbering
men and women in his congregation
take it all in-and consider it all Cos
PEI.
My own impression is that when we
die we proceed to work. Not to pick
harp strings to serve purpose; not to
compete in praises with experienced
angels on the one hand, or suffer
inquisitorial torture on the other. A
little grain of common sense in an oc-
ca-ional pulpit would give bushels of
desirable fruit in the congregation,
knock the conceit out Of long-faced
humbugs, relieve the anxieties of
many wife and mother, and lead us
all to a manly recognition Of the fact
that work is better than a shuttle.

A National Medicine.

One can hardly pick upa newspaper or
turn q street corner nowadays that he
does not ind staring him In the face, the
announcement that Prof. So-and-so has
lust discovered medicine which is PAN
acea for all the Ills that flesh Is, or may be-
heir to. These wonderful" discoveries
usually have an existence OF few months
then disappear from public notice. The
reason Of their sudden extinguishment is
apparent They were humbugs. At the
outset all medical preparations have an
equal chance for success, as ali are equally
unknown; but the chaff is soon winnowed
from the grain by the practical test which
an unprecedented public applies to all things
There are but few preparations Of medicine
which have withstood the impartial judg-
ment of the people for any length of time.
One Of the few which we have now in mind
and which has been long time familiar to
nearly every household In the land, Is the
celebrated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Their almost universal sale and use, and
their emphatic endorsement from all por-
tons of the country, compel the admission
that they must be specific for the ailments
for which they are recommended. Letters
before us attest their efficacy in diseases OF
the throat, bowels and liver. In that truly
terrible complaint, dyspepsia, they are re-
garded as a sure cure. In Pittsburgh, where
these Bitters are manufactured, heir sale
for home use is immense. This fact alone
speaks volumes in their favor.-ELtracts
from the MuScdtn,e Courier, IoUd, FEB. Z, 1867.
