The mother was sewing busily, and josie.
sitting on the carpet beside her, aud provided
with dull rounded scissors aud some old mag

Martha, who had come in for a cosey chat
Mamma knew this; but she knew, too, that a
few minutes work would make all right again,
and Josie was happy.
All went well till the little boy found he
had cut off a leg of horse that he considered
marvel of beauty. 1t was real disappoint>

it up.

all right. The boys heart was eomfarted,
and he went on with his play, while the
mother sewed quietly, with no jar of nerves
or temper, and auntie's call lost none of its
pleasantness.
I'm tired cutting pics, mamma" said
Josie after awhile.
"Well. get your horse and wagon. aud play
those bits ofpaper wood, and you re going

anything but play.

Historical Lessons from a Brick.

Who would suppose that an humble brick
could be capable of itnpartng valuable and
important information, even to corrOborate
the sacred writings? But an Austrian saDamt
has discovered by means Of microscope, in
a stone taken from the pyramid Of Dashour.
many Interesting particulars connected with
the life of the ancient Egyptians. The brick
itself is made of mud of.the Nile, chopped
straw and sand, thus confirming what the
Bible and Herodotus have handed down to
Us as to the Egyptian method of brick max
ing. Besides these materials. the microscope
has brought other things to light, the deJris
of river shells, of fish. aud of insects. seeds Of
wild and cultivated flowers, corn and barley,
the field pea, and the common fax, cultivated
probably both for food and textile purposes,
and the radish, with many others known to
science There were also manufactured pro-
ducts, such as fragments of tiles and pottery,
and even small pieces of string made of fax
and sleeps wool.
1t has been truly said that the antiquities
of Egypt ''haye not only confirmed Scripture

vealed such subtle harmonies of geography,
habits. manners, customs, and language, as
that history must have proceeded from COM

We heard Governor Chase make a
speech in the year 1857. in the course Of
which he complained bitterly of the SLAM
ders at that time being heaped upon
him. He said that if honest men were
indiscriminately charged with all sorts of
crimes by the newspapers, the time
would come when no honest man would
care to accept public trust, and be so
foully abused, and only rogues would ac-
cept Office
Recently Murat Halstead, editor of the
Cincinnati Commercial, boldly charged in
his paper that members of the Ohio SEN
ate, and especially Democratic Senators,
had been bribed with money. to oppose a
certain bill then pending. No wonder
that Senator Putnam, and other Sena-
tors, especially Democrats, should feel in
dignant, and demand an investigation
An investigation was had. Halstead was
summoned before committee of the
Senate, and under oath had to confess
that he had hed-that he had no evil
dence of bribery, and no one ever pro-
fessed to him to be in possession of any
such evidence. We published the report
of the committee in our paper last week.
When preacher commits a crime, the
church of which he is a member suffers
no disgrace, if it promptly expels the
criminal If he be retained, no matter
what may be his professions of penitence,
the church is dishonored, and its infu-
ence greatly weakened. When an editor
is compelled to confess under cath that
he is a public liar and slanderer. he
should be held by all the profession as a
"heathen man and a Publican"
We rejoice that, with two exceptions,
all the papers we have seen. are severe
upon the disgraced slanderer. We,have
cut off the Commercial as an exchange
Let every other editor in Ohio do the
same, and never again recognize the Com
merciaL or its editor.
