NOTHING NEW .

From the dawn of Spring till the year grows
hoary.
Nothing is new that is done or said
The leaves are telling the same old story;
Budding bursting dying-dead
And ever and always the birds chorus
Is; Coming -buildng-hying fled"
Never the round Earth roams or ranges
Out of her circuit so old, so old
And the smile Of the Sun knows but these
changes
Beaming burning tender-cod,
AS the Springtime softens or Winter estranges
The mighty heart of this orb of gold.
From our great sire's birth to the last morn's
breaking,
There were tempest aud sunshine, fruit and
frost;
And the sea was calm, or the sea was shaking
Its mighty name, like lion crossed
And ever this cry the heart was making,
Longing-loving- -los..N
For ever the wild wind wanders, crying,
Southerly Easterly- North and Vest
And one worn song the fields are signing;
"Sowing -growing-harvest-
And the tired thought Of the world, replying
Like an echo that is last and best,
Murmurs-"Rest ~

A PAINFUL SCENE. - yesterday morn
ing while seven or eight old and reliable
citizens were holding down chairs and
boxes in downtown grocery and unan-
imously agreeing that this was the great
est country on the earth, stranger en-
tered and said "Gentemen, | suppose
you are all familiar with politics ?" 1--WE
are" they replied in chorus. "And you
know all about the fundamental principle
of Liberty?" ave do" "Well, I'm
glad on it, for I've made bet with a
Teller back here as to how the reading
of the constitution begins. One Of you
Just write down the first ten words"
While he felt for the stub Of a pencil
every man began scratching his head,
and cautiously cycling his ncighbor. -
One began muttering, "Now | lay inc
down." and second said something
about Resolved" and third wrote on
the top of cracker-box. "On motion
it was voted that--that--." There was
a great deal of coughing and sneezing
and nose blowing, when a boy came in
and said the strangers horse had run
away. He rushed out and seven faces
frightened up and smiled, seven men
took fresh chews Of tobacco and tried not
to look too important when the grocer
said: 1.-THE constitution? Why every
one of you can repeat it by heart, Of
course you can"

He Would Brag.

A party of young men travelling in
Europe had among them a citizen of our
great republic who was so thoroughly
patriotic that he could see no excellence
in anything in the Old World as com
pared with his own country. Noun
tains, waterfall, churches, monuments,
scenery and all other objects of interest
were inferior to what the United
States could show. His companions be-
came somewhat tired of his overweening
boastfulness, and determined to take
him down a peg The party spent a
winter in Rome and one evening,
having every thing prepared, they in
duced their Yankee friend to join drink
ing bout, and so managed that they
kept sober while he got glorously drunk.
Thereupon they took him into the cata-
combs, laid him carefully down, with a
candle within reach, and retired short
distance out of sight to wait for develop
ments.
After while their friend reused UP,
having slept off his first drunken stupor.
and, in state of some establishment, be-
gan endeavoring to locate himself, at
the same time muttering:
"Well--hic-this's strange Won
ner-hic--where | am anyway"
He got out his match, lighted his
candle, and began to study the surround
ings. On each side we're shelves piled
with grinning skulls, and inches filled
with skeletons, while about we're piled
legs, arms, ribs and vertebrae "a ghast-
ly array AMI altogether new to him He
nodded to the skulls on the one side with

at his surroundings, got on his feet, took

To INDUCE SLEEP. There are times
when sleep forsakes us and a wrctched
nervous feeling takes possession, and the
more we try the more We can't go to sleep.
A remedy easily to be tried, and which
often proves successful, is to lower the
brain circulation, by taking slow, and
deep inspirations-say twelve to fifteen
a minute. BY this means the action of
the heart will become slower, and fcebcr;
less blood Is thrown into the brain, and
very soon quiet feeling, ending in sleep,
is induced. AS by slight effort of the
will any one may try this, we leave tho
question of its value to the test of actual
experiment If this fail, rise from the
bed, throw back the covers of tho bed,
rub the limbs briskly with the hand,
and walk the floor with quick step for
about ten minutes and then jump in bed
and cover up close, don't begin to think,
and the first thing you know, you won't
know anything.
