weaken the tendency toward violent and corrupt party
action in the elections to which II shall not apply.
Beside reforming electoral syste the proposed plan

Crawfordsville, and the other in the Pres

The old place in Abb's Valley is now,

as happy, as if the stiffness of that beauti

War-whoop, or its soil stained with the
blood OF the pioneer who erected the first
cabin for his family and the first altar to
his God, amid the tall trees and fragrant
wild flowers.

LOUIS NAPoLEoN's MEMoRY.-Napoleon
III. has an extraordinary memory for names,
figures, faces and miscellaneous facts. A
German professor, who was called to
Paris in connection with the publication
of the "Vie dc Caesar" relates that it was
Napolcon's invariablc habit, ON having
communicated to him name or number,
or any brief fact which he wished to re,
member, to write it down in n notebook
kept exclusively for that purpose, and
which always lay upon his desk. After
writing down the memorandum, he would
tear the leaf out of the book, read it oyer
once attentyely, and then tear the leaf up.
And he told the professor that after i'm
pressing fact on his mind by this process,
he never forgot it.

SURE CURE FOR CoRNs. Mr.. Rose, a mer-
chant of San Diego, announces that these
creators OF much misery in the world, can
easily and surely be cured by applying a
good coat Of gum arabic mucilagc every
evening on going to bed. He had them
for forty years, and tried nearly all the corn
doctors and corn remedies in existence,
without relief, until he tried the above,
which readily cured him in few weeks

- An eloquent orator proposes to "grasp
a ray oflight from the great orb of day,

whirlwind which dies upon the bosom of

chinery will break before the fabric
through the loom.
"A wild cat attempted tn take II baby

LISTENING ANGELS.
Blue against the buer heavens
Stood the mountain, calm and still;
Two white angels, bending eastward,
Leant upon the HILL
Listening leant those silent angels,
And also, longed to hear
What sweet strain of earthly music
Thus could charm their ear,
heard q sound of many trumpets
And warlike march draw nigh
5olemnly mighty army
Passedin order by.
But the clang had ceased; the echo
Soon had faded from the hill
While the angels calm and earnest,
Leant and listened still.
Then heard fainter Clamor;
Forge and wheel were clasLing near,
And the reapers in the meadow
Singing loud and clear.
When sunset came in glory,
And the Toll Of day was DER,
Still the angels leant in silence,
Listening rs before.
Then as daylight slowly vanished,
And the evening mists grew dim,
1olemnly, from distant voices
Rosea yesper hymn.
nut the chant was done; aud lingering,
Died upon the evening air;
Yet from the hill the radiant angels
Still were listening there,
Silent came the gathering darkness,
Bringing with it sleep and rest;
Save IA little bird was singing
In her leafy nest.
Through the sounds war and labor
She had warbled all day long,
While the angels leant and listened
Only 10 her song.
But the starry night was coming,
And she ceased her little lay
From the mountain tops the angels
Slowly passed away.
