HEAvEN--Henry Ward Beecher says:
"When think of Heaven, / do not think
of angels standing like wax candles, in
long altar-rows, singing hymns of praise;
I think of sanity life, of angelic life, the
sweetest, the gayest, the most joyous, the
fullest of every mood of fancy and good
ness. think of beings that carry light
in the eye, and Joy in the heart, and costa
cy in every touch" ,......... ..,..l .,.,.
PRoBABLY the most effective method
yet tried for breaking up the latterly prev
alent practice Of "raising" checks, by
which SO many banks have been victim

JUDGE c., of Memphis, was recently
called to preside as chairman at public

ceedings an exciting discussion sprung

motion put to the meeting. Has your
motion a second2" inquired the chair.

AN impudent fellow who insulted
three young girls in Philadelphia, few
evenings ago, was attacked by them,
thrown into mow-bank, pounded,
scratched bitten, mauled and kicked, and
finally rolled over and over in pool of
slush. Meanwhile he cried Justify for as
sistance and a passing physician came to
his relief, thinking some one was being
! murdered; but one of the girls explained
matters, while the other two continued
the righteous battle, and he refused to in
terfere.
THE scientific expedition at the summit
of Mount Washington will remain until
Nav (six months) and one, at least, of its
members still longer, to make investiga-
tions among the carly plants of the noun
, tain region. The report of the expedition
: will be published in the carly part of the
Summer, and its appearance will be looked
for with great interest, as it will contain
many important scientific facts. The
United States Signal Service will proba-
, bly, make Mount Washington permanent
, point of observation in consequence OF Its
system of storm reports.
, THE Boston Journal relates an instance
of a man in that city who, during panic,
l finding most of his neigbbors failing, CON
cluded to follow the fashion, although
| amply able to meet all his liabilities. He
called meeting of his creditors, and in
:, formed them that he thought it prudent
. to suspend. A committee was appointed
G to look into his affairs and, at their first
o meeting, one of the gentlemen said,
q suppose you know how you stand as well
as we could ascertain if we went through
your books. What do you propose to
pay ?" After little hesitation the debtor
said, "Well, don't know-what are they
g paying in Milk street?"
