PerIcIes.

So great was the disinclination Of th
great Percles to the receiving of gifts
so utter his contempt for riches, tina
though he was the means of raising Ath
ems to be the richest and most hourishin,
OF all the Grecian states, though hi
power had surpassed that of many tyrant,
and kings; though he had long disposed
in the most absolute manner of the treas
ures Of Greece, he did not add single
drachm to the estate which he inherited
from his father.
Pure as was his conduct in this re.
spect, however, it did not escape the en-.
venomed shafts of faction. He was au.
daciously charged with embezzeling the
public money during his administration
and decree was procured, by which he
was ordained to give Immediately his ac.
counts. Although Pericles had no real
cause to fear the strictest scrutiny into
his conduct, he could not but be under
some apprchcnsions for the decision Of
the people, when he reflected on their
great levity and inconsistency. He pre-
pared, however, to give obedience to the
decree, and but for hint given him by
Alclbiades, then very young man,
would probably have subjected himself to
the risk OF "a popular trial. Alcibiades,
calling at his house one day, was told,
that he could not be spoken WITH because
of some affairs Of great consequence, in
which he was then engaged. The young
man inquiring what these mighty affairs
might be, was answered, that Pericles
was preparing to give in his accounts.
Alcibiades smiling, remarked, that were
he in Pcriclc's place, he would not give
in any accounts. The observation being
repeated to the statesman, it induced him
to consider seriously, and at last adopt,
the policy thus incidently suggested to
him. In order, however, to divert the
public attention from the subject, he re-
solved te oppose no longer, as he had
done, the inclination which the people
had expressed for the 2eloponncsian war !;
but giving it every possible encourage.
ment, turned their thoughts into a new
channel and made them forget the call
they had made upon him, on suspicion,
the injustice of which were ere long
abundantly manifest.

NJ ~ hs MILLS.
Over yonder in the meadow,
Meath that old oaks ample shadow,
As it were a place selected for repose;
Lay she there just rs they found her,
With her shawl drawn close around her,
But from whence, or how she came thor,
Heaven knows.
Such young and lovely creature,
VI such perfect form and feature,
One might fancy her an angel in di.guise
Who, assuming to be human
And arrayed in garb of woman,
Just to frghten us, had fallen from the skies
On her head she wore a bonnet
With wreath of roses on it,
Fitting emblems they of her who did then
wear;
While from out its fast'nings straying,
And with wanton breezes playing,
Cleaned rich and glossy tress of golden hair
There were trimmings on the border
Of her garments, which in order
Were arranged as though reposng on a bed
And while lying there before us,
With the heavens smiling DER us,
1t was hard to make it seem that she wa,
dead.
A ring CLEANED on her finger,
And perchance her thoughts did lingcr
On the giver, as she sank to earth and died
And while here in death she slumbers,
All in vain, alas! he numbers
Every hour, till he shall claim her as bride
From tho place where she was lying,
She was borne away with signing,
With her white arms meekly folded DER her
breast
Tender hands with care conveyed her
And in solemn silence laid her,
sweet rosebud in strangers grave to rest.
There's home somewhere in mourning,
Where, alas! no more returning,
Falls the echo Of her footsteps at the door;
And while loving hearts are breaking,
Calm she sleeps where no awaking
Comes to greet her youthful vision evermore.

Judicious advertising always pays.

Judicious advertising always pays.
If you have a good thing, advertise it.
If you havn't, don't.
Ifyou don't mean to mind your own
business, it will not pay to advertise.
Never run down your opponents goods
in public. Let him do his own adverIis-
ing.
It's as true OF advertising as of any
thing else in this world-if it is worth
doing at all, it is worth doing we'll
We don't recommend advertising as
the best way to get wife; but we know
that it is the best way to get a good
trade.

An eccentric minister in large parish
had seventeen couples to marry at once
in grand common service at church. In
the course of the wedding he asked one of
the men to pledge himself to the wrong
woman. The man naturally protested,
but was told "Hold your tongue | will
marry you all now and here you can
sort yourselves going home"

There are said to be very few deal and

thus afflicted. In the Illinois Asylum
there are two deaf mute colored girls who

INGRATITUDE, BASE INGRATITuDF.-
The following sad truths are clipped from
an exchange, which also clipped it
from an exchange.
at is strange how closely people read
the papers. We never say anything that
anybody don't like but what we soon
hear of it, and every body tells us about
it. But, if once in while we happen
to say good thing, We never hear that
no body seems to notice that. We
may pay some man hundred compli-
ments, and give him dozen puffs, and
he takes it as tribute to his greatness
and never thinks anything about it
never thinks it does him any good. But
if we happen to say something that this
very same man don't like, or something
that he imagines reflects on him or his
character, see how quickly he flies up
and gets mad about it. Al our evil is
duly charged to us, but we never, ap.
parently, get any credit for what good
we do"

When you advertise, see that you do
it on the same principle that you buy
goods. Get the most you can for the
money,
People who advertise only once in
three months forget that most folks can't
remember anything longer than about
seven days.

PLAYING mt War.

During the present summer sham
war on an extensive scale is to take place
in Russia for the purpose of giving the
staff officers Of the army, who have been
most exclusively occupied in Office work,
an opportunity of making themselves
practically acquainted with the details of
military operations. The first of these
movements will represent an attack on
st. Petersburg. The attacking army
will march toward the capital from Duns-
burg in the direction of Pleskov, and be
supported by detachment from Riga.
The defenders will operate on Ostrov and
be supported from Dorpat. The latter
will also take measures for retaining pos
session of the Baltic provinces, and lay
down q line of Notifications at Revel and
Wesenburg. Each of the armies will con-
sist of about four divisions of infantry
and eight or ten regiments of cavalry, to-
gether with supports of artillery and Cos
sacks. The staff of both sides are to
send into the War Department detailed
reports of their operations, and to rem
der q strict account of the expenditures
of stores and provisions. Typographical
sketches of all the ground passed owe.
are to be made with great care, and in
all respects the movements of the troops
and the proceedings of the officers will
be precise imitation of the minutie of
actual service.
