When the Turkish army entered Ser
via, it destroyed all the villages in the
conquered territory as fast as it came to
them. 1t would be very glad now to
have those villages in its rear as shell
tiers and as depots of supplies, but it has
inflicted serious damages upon itself
by its excess of cruelty. The rainy sea-
son will not prevent active operations,
and the Turks, unable to procure pro-
visions, must retire from Servia.

The outlook in Ohio is by no means
discouraging for the democrats. The
democrats are we'll organized and hard

staunch republicans, admitted to be a
foregone conclusion.

one hundred majority, seventy five col

devotion to reform, the efforts to break up the
Tweed '.Ring'' would have been in vain. Ev-

furnished the first, and for a long time, the only

and converted a strong suspicion Into u mathe-

on Mr.. Tilaen's aGidavits verifying it, the &C

press good humor or generosity, or
peevishness and q contracted mind.

ill-temper and grudgingness has upon

pected from habitual series OF such
movements. Remark the reverse,

sensations. We can neither hide Ill
temper with it, nor good; we may af-
feet what We please, but affection will
not help US. In q wrong cause it
will only make our observers resent
the endeavor to impose on them.
The mouth is feature of one class OF
emotions as the eyes are of another;
or rather, it expresses the same emo
tions, but in greater detail, and with
more impressible tenderness when in
motion. It is tho region Of smiles
and dimplss and of trembling tender
ness; of a sharp sorrow, or full
breathing joy. of cander, Of reserve,
Of anxious care, or liberal sympathy,
The mouth, out OF its many ssnsi-
bilities, may be fancisd throwing ont

MAKE YOUR HEAVEN HERE.-There
is no royal road or short cut to heav-

for yourself in the life that now is.
You have no reason to think you will
enter upon the next life in anywise
changed in character from what you
are VIXEN you leave this. "He that
is unhbly, let him be unholy still. :"
And the character with which you
leave this world will be the slow and
natural growth of the years of your
whole earthly life, and cannot be the
result bf any thing else. the teaching of
theology or man to the contrary not
withstanding. The true conception
of human existence doubtless is az
one iH this world and the next-this

that the day; this the bud, that the
flower; this the blade, that the full

is not something to be won or got
or bought, either by ourselves or
somebody else for us; but it is some
thing 20 grow into. In the next world
your are simply yourself, only moved
on and moved up. Swedenborg
somewhere gives US representation
Of persons who had died, and did not
for q considerable time, even know
that they we're dead. Their old
thoughts and feelings and loves and
desires of an earthly life remained,
and the world which they had entered
did nbt at first seem different from
the one they had left, only it was
spiritual instead of physical. Hence
they went on with their old employ
menta and ran the round of their old
pleasures. Only by degrees did they
preceive their change Of state-and
that as they themselves became, by
natural processes of growth and de-
velopment, capable of deeper seeing
and higher knowledge.-Rev. j. Z.

Mention is made that an Amer
can inventor has recently introduced
device for steering steamers at
sea, by which the action of the rud-
der is made to work the lights at
night, so as to indicate at once and
without risk of any mistake, how the
helm is put, the arrangement also
providing very ingeniously for in
creasing the distance at which q green
light is visible. A white light, it is
ascertained, can be observed twenty
miles, a red only four miles, while
a green one has hitherto been limited
to mile and half, while, by this
new Improvement, green is made
visible as far as the red-or some
four miles. By this means, as claim
ed oy the inventor, the facilities of
marine communication, and conse-
quently of protection, are greatly
augmented.
