A HAPPY FAMILY.-A Richmond,
Ind, newspaper veuches for the truth
of the following story:
"The lion had not yet been observed
to lie down with. the lamb, but some
thing equal to i. happened. A white
cat with four young kittens set up
housekeeping in box where there
happened to be two young ra4s. In
stead of deveuring them, as would
have been natural. she adopted them
and afforded them the same nourish-
ment that she supplied to her kittens.
One OF the kittens and one of the rats
died. Yesterday we called to see the
happy family and found the three kit
tens and the rat drawing their susten-
ance in happy promiscuousness. The
mother cat bestowed frequent caresses
upon her little ones and the rat came
i'll fer full share. 1t seemed to en-
JOY the 'Iove lick and responded in as
affectionate manner as possible for a
rat. After all, as a matter of prudence,
that young rat had better move out
before his tail gets too long"

The 18th of May, 1850, was distin-
Iguished by the phenomenon of re-
'markable darkness all over the North
err States and is often referred to as
sthe dark day" At that time the
Legislature of Connecticut was in
session at Hartford. A very general
opinion prevailed that the day of
judgment was at hand. The House of
Representatives adjourned. A. pro-
posal to adjourn the Council was un-
der consultation. When the opinion
of Col. Davenport was asked, he an
swered. ~ am against an adjourn

approaching or it. is NOT. If it is not

The pig was thus written up by a
Georgia boy: THE pig is about as
big as sheep. only pigs wool isn't
good for making stockings of. Why
is a pig like a tree? Because he roots
that is a conundrum. A pig washes
himself. in the mud. A pig has four
legs, one under, each corner of his
body. They pickle pigs feet, but not
until after the pig is done using 'em.
A pig. sQueals awful when it rains,
also when you pull its tail. A pig
has got a first-rate voice for squealing
and he grunts when he feels good
You can't make wistle of a pigs tail
COS it is crooked. Why is pig like
Tommy Grant? Cos he's got his
nose in every body's business. This is
another conundrum, which is all 1
know about the pig"

He did not look like . joker. One

Be FRANK.-If you are not obliged
to discuss your affairs with every
one you may chance to know, but in
dealing with a confidential friend, be
frank. Disclose the real motive of
your conduct, then those who differ
from yeu may respect you. Nothing
is more fatal to friendship than pre-
yarication.

THE HEATHEN CHURCH.
The creed of the Heather Church is
as follows:

The creeQ Oh inc deatnen Cnufcn Is
as follows:
Don't lie.
Don't steal.
Don't swear unnecessarily.
Do unto others as you would be
done by.
This makes honest useful men, men
who carry their religion into the every
day affairs of life. They do devote
six days to praying to the Lord.
The Heather Church member does
not let his neighbor starve while he
sends tracts 10 the Sandwich Islands.
He considers the welfare of his
neighbor to be of as great importance
rs the dusky cannibal.
He believes that the soul of the
poor outcast at home is as worthy of
salvation as the Inhabitants of Green
lands icy mountains.
He is willing to believe that others
may be honest and get to heaven even
if they do not think just as he does.
The more of such honest men we
have in community the better.

THERE is no outward sign of polite

The Negotiation with Spain.

BY our dispatches from Madrid il will be
seen that our national character is so bad
that other nations require to be definitely
the way they manage their property is not
preliminary to taking possession Of the prop
erty for ourselves. On one occasion the wolf
complained that the lamb was troublesome
animal and made the water muddy so that
others could notquench their thirst with any
satisfaction, and it has been generally son-
ceded that the wolf was then making case
on which he might proceed to turn the lamb
into wolf by dilaniation and the gentle
methods of digestion. Only fancy that
Spain has imagined this old drama anew and
has cast the parts 50 that the wolfsh role falls
to us, and that the land of Pzarro and Tor
quemada, and Alva, and Philip III. is typi-
fed by the tender and muttonly little figure
of juvenile sheep! Our government pro-
tests that the conduct of Spain in Cuba, with
regard to the Cubans and ourselves as well,
has gone beyond all possible endurance, and
that there must be a change brought about
in one way or another either by the good
will Of the Spanish government or by our
interference. Hereupon Spain has the inn
pudence to hatter herself that we are only
making a case for further proceedings.
Such supposition on her part implies that
she believes her conduct in Cuba to be that
of humane and civilized government; and
we have no doubt that Spain does look upon
all the transactions in Cuba as innocent and
proper. On this first assumption is based
the further fancy that there can be no legit-
innate complaint against her conduct, and,
therefore, that all complaint actually made
has in us the interested motive of making a
disturbance that will result in giving US pos
session of the island. Mr.. Cushing seems to
have succeeded in getting this notion out of
the Spanish Uranium, which is in its way
diplomatic feat of consequence and promises
to lead to a satisfactory solution of the
troublesome topic.
