PERILOUS PEANUTS.

He did not look like a joker. One to
sit and study his face would have said
that his soul was so lost in melancholy
that he didn't care two cents whether
the sun set at noon or staid up until
seven o'clock. He entered the ladies'
sitting room at the Central depot, walk
ed up to a woman whose husband had
left the room about ten minutes previ-
Ously, and calmly inquired:
Madam, your husband went out 10
see the river, didn't hei"
'Yes-whyZ' she asked, turning pale
ia an instant.
''lIe was tall man, wasn't heg"
HE was" she replied, rising up and
turning still Laler.
''Had red hair2'
'He had-OhI what has happenedz7
Weighed about $50 poundsz7
''Yes-yCs-where Is he-where is my
husbandI' she exclaimed.
'Conldn't swim could he:'
''He's drowned - my husband - is

''DO not get excited, madam. Di1

''Yes-oh, my Thomas my Thomas -
''And stoga bOois?"
''Let me see him-let NE see him, ~
she cried
Come this way, madam, but do not
get excited. There, is that your husband

"Why, yes, that's him; that's my hus-
band." she exclaimed joyfulIy. II

BLOODLESS VICTORIES.

Let others write of battles fought,
On bloody CHASTITY fields,
Whence honor greets the man who wins
And death the man who yields;
But will write of him who fights
And vanquishes his sin,
Who struggles ON through weary years,
Against himself and wins.
Here is hero staunch and brave,
Who fights an unseen foe,
And puts at last beneath his feet
His passions base and low,
And stands erect in manhOOdS might,
Undaunted, undiSmayed-
The brayest man that drew a sword
In fOray or in raid
1t calls for something more than lTawn,
Or muscle to O'ercOme
An enemy who marcheth not
With banner, plume, and drum
A foe forever lurking nigh,
With silent, stealthy tread.
Forever near your board to-day,
AT night beside your bed
All honor then TO that brave heart,
Though poor or rich he be,
Who struggles with his baSeT part
Who cOnquers, and Is free
He may not wear a herO's crown,
Or fill herO's grave;
But truth will place his name among
The bFavest Of the brave.

A Beautiful ExTRACT.-Th follow
ing is a gem in its way, and can be read
with profit more than once. The little
ness of life has rarely been more happily
expressed;
'Generation after generation have felt
as we feel now, and their lives were as ae-
tive as our own. They passed away Ike
a vapor, while Nature wore the same as
pect OF beauty as when her Creator com
manded her to be. The heavens shall
be as bright over our graves as they are
now around our paths. The world will
have the same attractions for our of
spring yet unborn that she once had for
ourselves, and that she now has for our
children. Yet little while and all will
have happened. The throbbing heart
will be stilIed and We shall be at rest.
Our funeral will wend its way, and the
prayers will be said, and our friends viii
all return, and We shall be left behind ID
silence and darkness for the worm. And

mourned for us will be dried and glisten
with joy; and even our children viii
cease to think Of us, and will not remem-
Der to lisp our names. Then shall We
have become, in the touching language
of the Pss1lrnist, forgotten and gone out
Of mind.
The best theology pure and bene-
fcent life.
The best philosophy contented

The iron safe lately taken from tine
wreck of the iil-fated United States ship
of-war Cumberland, run into and sunk
by the Confederate ram Merrimae. in
hampton Roads, in 1861, is now On ex-
hibition in Norfolk. While Captain
Brown was searching for the spot where
he supposed the safe to be, he stumbled
against what he supposed to be a log of
wood, but what he was subsequently,
Mortified to find was the CHASTITY remains
OF a man, hardened and petrified into
stone, standing stoIid and erect, lone
sentinel, watching, as it were, the treas
ures ofthe deep, surrounded by the bones
Of his lost comrades who died with him
whilst vainly and nobly battling for the
preservation OF their good and beloved
old ship 1t was when endeavorine TO
raise this strange object out Of its grave
Of mud he found the safe.
