The Hour of Departure.

The hour is coming, and it is fear
full and solemn hour, even to the wisest
and best-the hour is coming when We
must bid adieu to the scenes which
please us, to the families we love, to
the friends We esteem. Whether we
think, or whether We think not, this
body, which is now warm and active
with life shall be cold and motionless
in death. The countenance will be
pale, the eye must be closed. the voice
must be silenced, the senses must be
destroyed, the whole appearance must
be changed by the remorseless hand of
our last enemy. We may Danish the
remembrance of the last weakness of
our human nature but our attempts
to drive II from our recollection, are in
vain. We know We are sentenced to
die, and though We sometimes succeed
in casting off for season the convic-
tions of this unwelcome truth, we can
never entirely remove it. The refec-
ton haunts us still it haunis us in
solicitude, it follows us in society, it
lies down with us at night, it awakens
with us in the morning.-The irrevoca-
BILE doom has passed upon us, and too
well do we know it-''Dust thou art,
and unto dust thou shalt return"
Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1875-03-24

There is constant sympathy expressed
by robust people for those of slight
physical constitution. We think the
sympathy ought to turn 4 the opposite
direction. 1t is the delicate people who
escape the most fearful disorders, and
in three cases out of four, live tie
longest. These gigantic structures are
almost always reckless of health. They
say nothing hurts me-" and so they
stand in draughts, and go out into the
night air to cool of, and eat crabs at
midnight, and doff their fiannels in
April, and get their feet wet.
But delicate people are shy of peril,
they know that disease hds been fishing
for them for twenty years and they keep
away from the hook. No trout can be
caught if he sees the shadow of the
sportsmen on the brook. These people
whom everybody expects to die, live on
most tenaciously.
We know of a young lady who evil
IDENTIFY married a wealthy man of
eighty-five years, on the ground that
he was very delicate and with reference
to her one-third. But the aged invalid
is so careful of his health, and the
young wife is so careless of hers that
it is now uncertain whether she will in
herit his storehouses, or he inherit her
wedding rings.
Health and longevity depend more
upon careful and intelligent manage
ment of ones self than upon original
physical outfit. Pauls advice to the
sheriff is appropriate to people in all
occupations, "Do thyself no harm !"

1t is interesting to watch a girl and
her lover when they dance the German
1t affords them a splendid opportunity
to indulge in little affectionate ways
that delicacy forbids should be public.
The girl rests her head so confidingly
on the shoulder of her lover, while he
clasps her close to his heart, as though
it was ecstasy to have her there. They
can dance longer and more frequently
than any other couple, and never seem
to tire. From $50 to 80 is long en-
brace, but they did it, and at the
end of the last German declared they
were not bit tired. 1 have seen many
Germans begun. bu. the conclusion
never. To me they seem like the
stories which Sherezade used to tell
every night to her liege lord, and got
him so interested that she kept up her
serial for thousand and one nights.
In this way she saved her own head
from being cut of, and put stop to the
pleasant little pastime of the Caliph in
marrying wife one day and cutting
her head off the next. l feel quite Gu
rious to know how the dance winds up,
and often beg that they will begin at
the end and go backwards, just for my
edification, as / am tired of first figures.

Half More than the whole.

The man of true genius must never
allow his fancy to sparkle too brightly
or too long. An overfulness of any
thing is as bad as its too frequent repe-
tition. So much is this the case, as to
have given rise to the apparent paradox,
that "the half is more than the whole. "
The truth of this saying we shall Illus
trate by little story: An Indian, who
had quantity of rich emeralds, showed
one for sale to a skillful jeweler, who
gave him price far beyond his expec-
tation. The Indian took out q second,
which was still more beautiful than the
first /; the jeweler, however, valued it at
one-half less and he did the same in
proportion with the third and fourth.
Upon this, the Indian, greatly sur
prised to find that the more exquisite
the quality of the stones which he pro-
duced, the smaller q sum was offered
for them, inquired the cause. at is, :"
said the jeweler, "because an abund-
ance of even the most precious things
lessen their value the esteem for them
ceasing along with their rarity"

1t is curious with what svidity we form
impressions of others; how frequently we
treat others coldly by reason Of hastily
formed and arbitrary opinions originally
conceived of them; how our imperfect
knowledge of partial acquaintsnces causes
US often to misunderstood and fail to appre-
ciate them. Primary opinions formed of
others are seldom abandoned, never entire y
obliterated. Some people alweys produce q
favorable impression; others invariably
leave something to be desired in them The
manners of some are easy and affable; they
bow courteously, smile pleasantly, speak
cheerily q warmth and glow pervades them
which extends to others, and they throw q
life and vigor into their words and acts that
never fail to attract. They enter warmly
into our projects, speak oftopics Of interest
to us, adapt themselves Immediately to every
object of discussion, and render themselves
uniformly agreeable. This geniality of
manner and bearing renders life enjoyable,
and adds zeal to every social enjoyment; it
makes the household, as well as the ball
room, resouud with hearty laughter and en-
joyment; makes happy many home, and
fragrant with pleasant memories many an
otherwise dreary hour. 1t cools the heated
brow Of thought, dries up the turbid stream
of melancholy, washes away hundreds of
daily sggravations, and furnishes relief to
the wearied soul. This spontaneity is found
everywhere-among the rich and poor, old
and young, thoughtful and otherwise. 1t
creates the urbanity of the statesman, the
plausibility of the popular leader, the
suavity of the diplomat, the inspiration of
the author and the courtesy of the true gen.
tleman. 1t is the most positive adornment
of domestic life, and surest guarantee Of q
pleasant home. In women-it is the most
remarkable, rendering their manners
charming, their devotion spontaneous, and
their conversation rapid, brilliant and viva
cious. 1t has the most potent influence in
rendering them ever welcome and beloved.
Could all but estimate so valuable an scqui-
sition, none would disregard it, and our
enjoyments would be greatly augmented
and increased thereby.

Moving The Rock OfAges.

The good people of the town of E
were talking of moving their meeting
house to q more agreeable locality.
Among the advocates of the movement
none were more earnest than old Dea-
con A., who, by the way, has an un-
controllable habit of sleeping in church.
No matter how interesting the dis
course, the old deacon was sure to drop
off about such time. On the Sabbath
preceding the day appointed for NOV
ing the house. the pastor preached an
interesting sermon on 'Trhe Rock of
Ages" Growing eloquent in his re-
marks, the minister finally added with
great emphasis:
"Who can move it ?"
The deacon having been asleep as
usual, woke up just in time to catch
the query, thinking the pastor referred
to the meeting house, rose up in his
seat and exclaimed
"In bring over my yoke of steers,
and they'll jerk it along the whole dis
tance, il you'll keep plenty of hard
wood rolling under If.
The deacon never slept in meeting
after that.
