Rules for Conduct.

Put on the airs of an eight-keyed flute,
If you're only penny whistle:
rag where you can for garden rose.
Ii you're only wayside thistle.
Blow, whenever you blow your horn,
30 people can understand
mat you may be sharp, but you won't be fat,
In society's great brass band
Pass the plate or the hat in church
With the usual Sabbath air
But move with mild, religious soueak
That people may know you re there,
II you carry nose six inches long
(And beak can scarce be longer
Beneye IL a sign OF conception strong,
And the longer it is the stronger.
But if in the order of usual tubes
Your organ is brief in measure.
Then. brevity being the soul of wit,
Consider your pug treasure.
Love your neighbor. but mark the force
Of the gospel rule of grace
The more you admire yourself, my friend,
The higher your neighbours place.
Chink your dime in the Deacon's pan,
As if you were throwing gold,
And give with an eye to the business hope
Of reaping hundred fold.
Whether your reading is little or great,
quote right or never quote;
Polish your uppers though down in the heel
And never indorse a note.
Always advance best hand, best foot
(Best hand. best foot your OWN,
And thus you may feast on the fat of the land,
While others enjoy the bone.

A Presentiment.

You praise me with lovers praise,
Ny ready smile. my winsome ways.
You lavish kiss and fond caress
On snowy brow and sunny tress;
Our hearts. you say, will ne'er grow cold,
But closer cling as We grow old
Grow old
You count the years that you and
Will watch the summer days go by,
And when eur fields are turning brown.
And age like night comes softly down,
Fond lips. and hearts that love makes bold.
Will brighten life as we grow DID,
Grow old
And all the while you talk to me,
l hear an inward prophecy,
That tells me that ere year has flown
Each will go on his way alone.
shall not feel your clinging hold.
Nor you my faltering steps uphold
As we grow old
IT'S not that tine will GOODNESS bring
To lips that kiss and arms that cling;
You will not seek loves sweet replies
In other lips and other eyes;
NV heart its loyalty will hold,
But, darling, | shall not grow old.
Grow old
And when our tears are falling fast
Upon brow whose pain is past
When all your loving words are vain
To win one answ ering smile again.
Take then one sunny tress of gold,
Remembering love can meier grow old
Grow old!

SO Near and Yet So Far.

Man dwells apart though not alone:
He walks among his peers unread:
The pest of thoughts which he hath known,
For lack of listeners are not said.
Yet dreaming on earth's clustered isles,
He saith, They dwell not lone like men,
Forgetful that their sun lecked smiles
Flash far beyond each others KEN"
He looks on Gods eternal suns
That sprinkle the celestial blue,
And saith. "Ah, happy, shining ones,
l would that men were grouped like youP'
Yet this is sure, the loveliest star
That clustered with its peers we see,
Only because from US so far
Doth near its fellows seem t o be.

AdnIterafion of Milk.

We notice in the English Milk Journal
that an act to prevent the adulteration
of food has lately been put in force
against milk dealer, who, on a second
conviction of having diluted his milk
with fifty per cent. of water, was not
only fined $25, but by virtue of that law
was forced to pay the cost of a notice in
a leading newspaper, got up in a most
conspicuous style, much in the shape
of an attractive epitaph, and which re-
lated in full all the misdoings of the un-
fortunate man and the consequences
thereof.

BENJAMIN WILSON, an old offender,
was convicted of burglary at New York
on Monday, and sentenced to Sing Sing
for five years. In prying open the
drawers of the store into which he had
gained an entrance he used large
clasp-knife, and broke off the point.
The knife was found in his possession,
and the exact fitting of the piece to the
broken blade was what convicted him.

A Queer Suit.

queer suit
The Oregon Bulletin says: Amasa
Swaringem, a native of Tippecanoe
county, Indiana, but an immigrant to
Yamhill of so MANY years as to almost
be pioneer, is tall, gaunt, ghost-ike
looking fellow, whose small gray eyes
twinkle like two koohinoors in a mud
hole, and whose hair stands on end like
box of tallow dips when Pickering in
a potato socket. He, about year and
a half ago, married young woman
who shortly afterward was taken sick,
and has since been "under the weather"
to such degree as to be unable to at
tend to her household duties, and a
greater portion of her time has been
under the care of a physician, who, how
ever, has not been able to restore her to
health.
Amasa had become tired of having a
sick wife on his hands, and would
doubtless institute a suit for divorce if
the law made sickness cause but as
he has no grounds upon which to base
complaint for divorce, he has struck
upon the original idea of suing his
father and mother-in-l law for damages.
In his complaint he AYERS that the
parents of his wife imposed upon him
by representing that their daughter was
of sound constitution and of good
health. By reason of these fraudulent
representations he was induced to mar
ry her; that since the marriage he has
discovered that the representations
made to him were false; that by reason
of the deception practised upon him he
has been put to an expense of $500 for
medical attendance and the services of
nurse, &C.; that he has been deprived
of the society of his wife, who, because
of her sickness, has been peevish and
cross, and thereby rendered him un-
comfortable by scoldirg; for all OF
which he thinks the court ought to
award him damages in the sum OF
s. 600.
