The TireleSs Brain.

Our brains are seventy-year
clocks. The angel of life winds
them up once for all, then closes
the case, and gives the key into
the hand of the angel of the res
direction. Tic-tac! tic-tac! 60
the wheels of thought; our will
cannot stop them; they cannot
stop themselves; sleep cannot
still them, madness only makes
them go faster; death alone can
break into the case, and, seizing
the ever-swinging pendulum
which we call the heart, silence
at last the clicking of the terrible
escapement we have carried so
long beneath our wrinkled fore
heads. If we could only get at
them, as we lie on our pillows
and count the dead beats of
thought after thought, and image
after image, jarring through the
tired organ! VIII nobody
block those wheels, uncouple
that pinion, cut the string that
holds these weights, blow up the
internal machine with gunpow-
der? What a passion comes over
us sometimes for silence and rest
that this dreadful mechanism,
unwinding the endless tapestry
of time; embroidered with spec
trail figures of life and death,
could have but one brief holiday?
Who can wonder that men swing
themselves off from beams in
hempen lassoes? that they jump
off from parapets into the swift
and gurgling waters beneath! !
that they take counsel of the
grim fiend who has but to utter
his one peremptory monosylla-
bic, and the restless machine is
shivered as a case that is dashed
upon marble floor? If anybody
would really contrive some kind
of a lever that one could thrust
in among the works of this horrid
automatOn and check them, or
alter their rate of going, what
would the world give for the dis
cOvery? Men are very apt to try
to get at the machine by some in
direct system or other. They
clap on the brakes by means of
opium, they change the madden
ing mOnotony of the rhythm by
means of fermented liquors. 1t
is because the brain is locked up
and we cannot touch its move
ments directly, that we thrust
these coarse tools in through any
crevice by which they may reach |
the interior, alter its rate of 60 |
ing for awhile, and at last spoil |
the machine,-HOl1neS.

A New Race of People.

A new race of people, suppos-
ed to be of Asiatic origin, and
having features strongly resemb-
ling the Anglo Saxon, has been
discovered by the missionaries in
the southwestern part of Africa.
They adjoin the Bechuanas, and
are known as the Ovas. A king
by the name of Tjikongo reigns
over them. They have'lOng, curly
hair, not woody, and are charac-
terized by very considerable in
telligence. Their religion is, in
many respects, so much like that
of the Parsees as to induce the
belief that the Ovas belong to
that race, or have been under its
tuition. They are not idolaters,
but believe in Supreme Being,
the Creator, who is omnipresent,
omnipotent, and Omniscient and
whose symbols are the sun and
fire, and to these they pay hon.
age as his representatives,, but
offer no sacrifices to them. They
keep the sacred fire constantly
burning, and the princes who are
also priests, intrust to their
and sometimes to their
wives. the duty of experimenting
these sacred fires. The Ovas also
believe in the existence of a very
powerful evil spirit, who is not,
however, omniscient nor omni-
and to his interference
they attribute their misfortunes
and accidents, and they offer no
sacrifice to him. They are said
to be an honest, industrious, and
temperate people, far more re-
gardful of their word, and more
observant of good morals, than
most of the African nations.

The unpleasant oder produced
by perspiration is the source OF
vexatiOn to persons who are sub
ject to it. Procure some COM
pound spirits of ammonia, and
place about two table-spoonfuls
in a basin of water. Washing
the face, hands, and arms with
this, leaves the skin as clean,
neat and fresh as one could wish.
The wash is perfectly harmless,
and very cheap. 1t is recon-
mended on the authority of an
experienced physicians and it
ought to be tried, at least, by all
those whose persons are so often
sive in this respect.

WHAT MAKEs MAY!

A truthful soul, 3 loving mind;
Full Of affection for its kind;
A spirit firm erect and free,
That never basely bends knee;
That will not bend feathers weight
OF slavery's chance for small or great;
That truly speaSs from God within,
That never makes a league with sin
That snaps the fetters despots make.
And loves the truth for its own sake;
That worships God. and him alone,
And bows no more than at his throne
And trembles at no tyrant's nod;
A soul thai fears no one but God,
And thus can smile at curse or ban
This is the soul that makes q man.

Mr.. HoAR's FEELING OVER HIs REJEc-
TIoN..4A little incident occurred in
Washington, a few nights ago, which
goes 70 show that the Attorney General
does not bear his rejection for the Su-
preme Bench by the Senate with very
good grace. At tn he last Friday evening
reception of one of his colleagues in the
Cabinet, Mr.. Hoar met Senator SAWYER,
OF South Carolina, when he made the
remark, very abruptly: '"WelI, Senator.
Massachusetts and South Carolina are
resuming their old relations toward each
other::" Mr.. Sawyer saw at once that
Mr.. Hoar had reference to his vote
against the confirmation, and to the
treatment of Mr.. Hoar's father. wears
ago, by South Carolina mob. Consi-
dering that they both belonged to the
State, were fellow-students, and that
friendly relations had always existed be-
tween them, Mr.. Sawyer was very much
surprised at this positive piece OF rude
ness on the part Of Mr.. Hoar although
he very wisely and prudently ventured
on no reply. He, however, called on the
Attorney next morning, and po-
litely informed him that he thought his
remarks on the evening before, unpeces-
sary and very severe. Mr.. Hoar replied,
in his characteristic style, that he did
not think they were any more severe
than his (adr. Sawyer's) action towards
him in the Senate. g

Whether the Mormons will fight, in the
event that the Cullom bill becomes a
law, is question on which some light is
shed by the experience of fifteen years
ago, when they gave proof of their viii.
ingness and power to offer formidable
resistance to the United States. They
will certainly not give up polygamy, and
must be much more, sanity than we take
them to be, if they retreat from, Utah
until they have given the Government as
much expense and trouble in forcing
them to let go their hold as possible.
Whilst they would be crushed in the
