In the House of Representatives yesterday
D bill was passed authorizing the issue Of
coupon bonds in exchange for registered bonds.
provided that the expense Of such be paid by
the owner Of the bonds The argument for
the bill was that it placed the two classes
of bonds on an equality in making them
interchangeable.


In the Senate bill in reference to the
Dahlgren gun was passed The bill provides
for some compensation to the family of the
late Admiral Dahlgren for his Invaluable
services to the country in his invention OF the
famous Dahlgren gun-a gun which in the
war Of our late Southern rebellion, from the
sinking of the rebel iron-clad Merrimack, in
Hampton Roads, to the sinking of the Anglo
rebel cruiser, the Alabama, in the British
Chanel, proved its efficiency as an instrument
of war. AS a simple measure of justice this
bill should be passed into law

needs no admission within the doors to guess
the substance Of his testimony. In the other

WHY.-Why are some things of
one color and some of another As
every ray of light is composed of all
the colors of the rainbow, some things
reflect one of these colors and some
another


Why do some things reflect. one
color and some another? Because the
surface is differently constructed. both
physically and chemically, and there
fore some things reflect one raw. some
two rays and some none.


Why is the rose red? Because the
surface of the rose absorbs the blue
and yellow rays of light, and reflects
only the red ones.


Why is the violet blue? Because
the surface of the violet absorbs the
red and yellow rays of the sun and re-
fleets the blue only.


Why are some things blacks Be
eause they absorb all the RAYS of the
light and reflect none.


Why are some things white? Be
cause they absorb none of the rays of
light, but reflect all.

able hardship to write editorials
Subjects are the trouble-the dreary

Every day it is drag, drag, drag

The matter that each editor of a
daily paper in America writes in the

Fancy what library an editors work

mission and protection he has shown
that if he had had open intercourse
with spirits, he would simply have
come in contact with his associate
spirits, who are like himself, and
could have received no reliable knowl-
edge of the ultimate destiny of man.


But all this was but little more than
incidental to his chief mission. He
claims to have received from the Lord
the truths of new dispensatiOn, in
cluding the true meaning or spiritual
sense of the sacred Scriptures un-
folding it in strict accordance with
the great and universal science of
correspondence between natural and
spiritual things. In the light of the
spiritual sense, it is claimed that all
of the apparent contradictions of the
letter disappear, and it is demonstra>
ted to mans intellectual perceptions
beyond the possibility of a doubt that
in the Bible we have special revela-
tions from God to man. Swedenborg
assures us that he receive nothing of
the doctrines of the New Church, or
of the spiritual sense of the sacred
Scriptures, from any angel or spirit,
but from the Lord alone. while read


idg his Word. He most solemnly de-
clares that he witnessed the last iud5


ment, in the spiritual world, during
the year 1857. and he anticipated. as
result of that judgment, that man
kind would thereafter be in a greater
state of freedom on religious subjects
than before it, as vast cloud of evil
spirits who obscured the descent of
heavenly light were removed from
contact with men in the spiritual
world at that time. All things were
to be made new, in fulfillment of the
prophecies in regard to the Lord sec
ond coming, which was not to be
personal coming in the natural world,
but a coming in the clouds of heaven
mot of earth), or in the literal sense
of his Holy Word, to which the natu>
raj clouds correspond. They thus
correspond because We receive spirit
ual light and heat or divine wisdom
and love through the letter of the sa
cred Scriptures, as we receive natu-
raj light and heat through the natural
clouds


Such are a few of the startling
claims of this distinguished writer;
and those who acknowledge that his
writings contain a true revelation
from Jesus Christ to the men of this
age. believe that all the wonderful
changes for the better which are taxi
ing and have taken place within the
past century, in religious views, and
all the recent discoveries and inven
tiOns. are the result of Christ's sec
ond coming; and, still further, they
believe that at present we behold but
the dawning light of the New Jeru-
salem, which is to be the crown of all
dispensations. "Light, more light
still" " is to pour in upon us from the
world of cauees. More wonderful
things and changes are ahead of us
in the near future, for the day is
dawning when knowledge of the
Lord is to cover the earth as the wa.
tiers cover the deep" Freedom and
justice are to prevail the dark shad-
Ows of dreary night of spiritual and
civil despotism are passing away
the world is moving and will continue
to move upward and onward, and the
rising sun of religious freedom is not
to 60 down, so sure as the Lord

And the rockets red glare, the bombs burst

At the date of this writing, we
are near the edge of battle. Be
fore the issue of this paper, the
President will have been elected.
The Congressional campaigns de-
cided, and the legislative choice
made. Whatever the result may
be, the people must and will abide
by it. 1t may be that Mr.. Gree
ley is beaten. We are inclined to
guess that Gen. Grants re election
has been decided. 1t should be
otherwise, and but for that bastard
ly element which goes to make up
the political motive of so many OF
our american voters, it would be
otherwise. We wish that the lib
eral movement could have been as
large in its being, as it was gener-
ous and genuine in its inception
1t was a mighty movement, some
what botched in its execution, and
if it has elevated Mr.. Greeley to
the Presidency, that result will
have been due to the splendid be-
ginning which it had. But be the
result as it may, We believe that it
will be very many years before there
will be presented any other posi-
bility of success for those of us
who have suffered so protracted an
exclusion from the privileges of po-
itcal power. The liberal move
ment must not die.


Turning to Tennessee, if Mr..
johnson has been defeated, we may
as well proceed to mark that re
suit as one which the reflection OF
this people vii have reason to re-
member, as one of those errors,
which lack the feature of plausible
excuse.


The election of Gen. Cheatham,
if such a thing should be, will have

lated judgement, and the hattery

GETTING MARRIED. don't think you
have reached the sum and substance of earthly
bliss when you can write Mrs before your
name. TO be sure it is all very proper as well
as pleasant to have house and husband OF
ones own, provided that one is old enough to
take care of the same; but simply to get mar
rcd is only small part of the plan designed
by our Creator for our wisdom aud happiness.


To most girls, their wedding day Is a day OF
cmanci patton from care; joyful beginning OF
a new state of existence; of life without shade
of grief or aught to mar its perfect harmony
1t is so pleasant to be the one idol OF true
heart, no wonder the young girl sees everything
through rose -colored spectacles. But, after all,
it is as well to remember that others before her
have entered the matrimonial state, and found
it to be one of care, doubt and anxiety. And
they were women as good as the best.


1t is this mistake that leads so many people
wrong at the commencement of married life.
They take no thought of their duties toward
another, or remember VIC are all errlng crca-
lures, and their idol no less clay than others,
only that their love has made it gold. They
expect freedom from care in married life, but
they have ouly given up their freedom, and
commenced ltes cares In earnest Then after
the first excitement of being "the bride, and
observed Of all Observers" has passed away
comes the settling down to real, actual life, and
the young wife must needs learn to eat, drink,
sleep, visit, aud receive visitors; these are
part of her duties as before while, in add.
ton to her domestic cares, sue must learn to
adapt her temper aud disposition to anoth-
er's views, and learn the beautiful lesson
of self-denal, if she expects perfect
peace Poets may sing of love S young dream
aud life in cottage but practical people will
tell you much how more is real love $ awakening
aud Il comfortable two-story. 1t Is this very
dream of love that breaks so many hearts. Ii
women drcamcd less of love, and accepted It's
widcawake reality, there would be less disap-
pointmcnt aud more real happiness. Not un:
til couple have left off the dream and turned
to the joys of real love and life do they under
stand how perfect love may make the hearts
peace; but alas too often the awakening
comes after the spirit has flown. So take our
advice, girls and if you are fortunate enough
to get steady, and honorable man for hqs-
baud, don't spoil your chance of happiness by
mistaken views. Look upon getting married
as only part of your mission. > 49,.

DESsERTs.-One of our favorite puddinos
Is Sally Lunn; it is quickly made, as follows
One pint OF flour, teacup of sweet milk, an
ounce of butter rubbed into heaping tea
spoonful OF cream tartar, half teaspoonful so
da, one egg-if you have a guest, and want il
richer, add the yolk, leaving out the white,
of another egg, and another ounce of butter,
not forgetting large pinch of salt. Bake as
a cake and eat with rich cream, or make a
sauce by rubbing together half a cup of but
ter, cup of sugar and a level tablespoonful
of flour, and when smooth pouring upon the
mixture pint of boiling water; flavor with
lemon or nutmeg-(don't use brandy or wine)
Don't use alcohol, young wife, in your cook
cry, If it is the spirit of pudding, pie, or sauce,
it is a subtle, mischievous spirit. A lady
once remarked to me that she had bought
bottle of wine sauce for pudding; sweet,
amiable young wife, whose husband inherits
love OF alcohol stimulus. | was startled
Does she know, l thought, that she NAV be
furnishing to her husbands appetite the
taste of blood to the lions tongue?


After baking, we sometimes make German
bread" by taking pint of light bread dough,
and working into it two or three ounces of
brown sugar, two ounces of butter, and roll
ing it into thin cake; then make dents or
dimples (if that is not too poetical for dough-,
over the top, which may be filled with butter;
then strew thickly with brown sugar, and
sprinkle with powdered cinnamon; let it rise
again, and when baked, the butter and sugar,
melted together, form crust.


Light bread dough, in skilled hands, is sus-
ceptible of being ''moulded' into many forms
of food. We think there is nothing better
than light rolls; in the morning after the
bread is made out to be baked, we lay aside a
reserved portion, into which has been worked
shortening; in the proportion of quart of
dough- put lard the size of a large egg work
IL in thoroughly, with or without an ounce
of white sugar; set it in cool place, and an
hour and half before tea, make it into rolls
or biscuit. just as lightly as you can get it into
shape, without brepking the air cells; if it
appears sour before baking, boil half tea
spoonful o. soda in as little water as will dis
solve it, which will leave no sediment to set-
tie in brown spOis.


A very delicate dessert is starch; we take
about two heaping tablespoonfuls OF clear
starch to quart of milk; let the milk boil,
and add the starch, previously made smooth
with milk, stir constantly until it boils min
ute; ifi is not thick, add more starch; it
should be as thick rs jelly; make couple of
hours before needed in order that it may be
perfectly cold when served; eat with cream,

They belong to the musty past. Nobody that

Instead of clogging the pores of the scalp with
thick onguents, and thus obstructing the in

health of the fibers, we now tone the surface of
the head with an invigorating application
which penetrates to the roots of the hair and
stimulates them in the same way that the fer

spring up in myriads, coating the earth with
verdure. The invigorant best adapted to this
