IS SHE OR is SHE NOT.

Music is heavenly maid, so we are
told. But to my thinking that depends
on circumstances. For instance, suppose
music, in the shape ola brass band, is To-
Gated right up against your state room
door in steamboat, where you had vi
sicns of lodging Point Judith by recum-
bent posture and nap?
Music is anything but heavenly maid
about that time.
Or if YOU are writing, and wheeEy
organ stops before your window, beloved
bv YOUR neiehbor, who has children to
be amused, but detested by your discord-
hating ear to the point of insanity-how
about emusic the heavenly maid," then?
Or if YOU are in street carr with
carpet of wet, hasty straw beneath your
feet, and stack of wet umbrellas and
dripping garment and moldy market
baskets about you on all sides, and emu
sic, heavenly maiden" appears in the
shape of starved Italian urchin and d.
lapidated ACCORDION, what then?
Or suppose she appears to you in the
shape of young Miss, the talented
daughter of an old friend, who, having
run up and down the scale two or three
times, considers herself equal to the "Bat-
tie of Prague" and the 'sAnvil Chorus?"
I tell you there is nothing but "Reyela-
ton" truer than copy in my old writing
book, that circumstances alter the case"

WATER.PRooF BooT-SoLEs.-Ifho hot tar
is applied to boot soles, it will make them
water proof Let it beas hot as the leather
will bear without injury, applied with a
svab, and drying IN the fire. The opera
lion may be repeated two or three times
during the winter, if necessary. It makes
the surface of the leather quite hard, so
that it wears longer, as well as keeps the
water out It is good plan to provide
boots for winter during summer, and pre-.
pare the soles by tarring, as they will
then become, before they are wanted to
wear, almost as firm as horn, and will wear
twice as long as those unprepared.

Think YOU the North, the sturdy North,
Who sent her loyal legious forth,
To humble Rebel hate,
VIII stand aloof and calmly see
The Ship of State drift helplessly,
And not avert its fate?
Think YOU the murder'd thousands dear
The SHATTERED limb the widows tear
The prison-pen, SO dank
Or flag insulted rent in scorn
By those who under it were born
Are in oblivion sank?
Bridge Such a gulf? 1t mag be done
When Heaven and Hades are but one !
When God and Belzebub
Clasp hands fraternal 'cross the Styx,
While grinniDg mortals stand betWlXt
Old Chaos and the Club"
Bridge such a gulf! in such a cause
Gag Honor but to gain applause
From those who hate US more
To-day than when, with sword and gun,
They made the streets of Lawrence run
With streams of loyal gore?
We mag forgive an enemy
Who shows, by contrite walk, that he
Is sorry for the past
But those who shout for Greeley most,
Are but the self.same Rebel host,
Would rule us all at last.
What! think you we could trade off
Grant,
For such sickly sycophant
AS him of Chappaqua?
All, no you really must excuse
Us, gentlemen, if we refuse
To give to you OR paw
