For the Spring o' th year and of life has flown ; Tis the wildest niRht o' the wild December, And dark In my spirit and dark in my chamber. I sit and list to the steps In the street. Going and coming, coming and going, And the winds at my shutter they blow and beat: 'Tin the middle of night and the clouds are snowing; A iid the winds are bitterly beating and blowing. I list to the steps as they come and go. And list to the winds that are beating and blowing. And my heurt sinks down so low, so low; No sep is stayed from me by the snowing. Nor stayed by the wind so bitterly blowing. I think of the Rhlps that are out at sea. Of the wheels in th' cold black waters turning; Not one of the ships beareth news to me, And my head Is sick, and my heart is yearning, A I think of the wheels In the black waters turning. Of the mother I think, by her sick baby's bed, Awsy in her cabin as lonesome and dreary. And little and low as the Max-breaker's shed; or tier patience so sweet, ana tier silence so weary. With cries of the hungry wolf bid In the prairie. ' I think of all things In the world that are sad : Of children In homesick and comfortless places: Of prisons, of dungeons, of men that are mad ; Of wicked, unwomanly llgnt in tua faces Of women that fortune baa wronged with disgrace. I think of a dear little sun-lighted bead. That came where no nana of us all could deliver: And (Tared with the crudest pain went to bed vt nere me sheets were the loam-irettea waves of the river: . Poor darling ! may Ood in his mercy forgive her. The footsteps grow faint and more faint In the snow ; The masts crunk and groan as th' winds come and 1 nut back the curtain In verv uesoairliiir : . go; And the light In the light-bouse all weirdly Is flaring! But what glory Is this, In the gloom of despaiurlng ! I aee at the window Just over the street. A main in the lamp-light her love-letter reading. Her red mouth is smiling, her news is so sweet ; And Uio heart lu my bosom W cured of Us bleeding. As I look on the maiden her love-letter rending, She has finished the letter, and folding it, kisses. And nines it a secret too sacred to know : And now in the hearth-light she softly undresses : A vision or gmce in the roseate glow, I see her unbinding .the braids of her tresses. And now as she stoops to the ribbon that fastens iier slipper, they tuninie o er shoulder and face And now, as she patters In bare feet, she hastens To gamer them up in a nnet of lace; And now ulie is gone, but In fancy I trace The lavendered linen undrawn, the round arm Half sunk In the counterpane s broiaerea roses. Beveallug the exquisite outline of form ; A willowy wonder or grace that reposes Beneath tlie white counterpane, lleecy with roses. I see the small hand lying over the heart. here the pitssionute dreams are so sweet in their sally ; Tba fair little fingers they tremble and part. As part to th warm waves the leaves ot the Illy, And they play with her hand like the waves with the lily. In white fleecy flowers the queen o' the flowers; What to her is the world with Its bad, bitter weather? Wide she opeus her arms ah, her world is not ours: And now she has closed thsm and clasped them together What to her is our world, with Its clouds and rough weather? Ilark! Jmidnlght! the winds and the snows blow and heat ; I dmp down the curtain and say to my sorrow. Tnank God for the window just over the street ; . Thank (od there is always a light whence to borrow, When darkness Is darkest, and Sorrow most Korrow. COMMUNICATED. ART AM) TIME. "Art Is Ions and time is fleotlnp. And our hearts though Ktout and brave, BtiU like mulled drums are Iteating, Onward marches to the grave." Yea! "art is long the destroying finger of time leaves but little impress upon the works of art, fashioned by the skillful hand of man. The beautiful chiseled marble stands a lasting monument to the uiulvinir genius of a powerful mind long after the hands that wrought it are folded' over the silent heart. The canvas, al though now faded, has traces of a master mind ; those once glowing col ors shadow forth the beautiful fancies of one whose earthly lifeisover. Gen erations have passed away, and his name, were it not for the frail work of his own hand, would long since have been forgotten. The poet weaves his. brilliant thoughts into verse or sonnet. He wins the esteem and applause of his fellow men ; not only those with whom he associates, but his name is loved by all who have feasted their souls upon the beauty of . his verse. Though all may not be blest with the gift of poetry, there is not one heart but has at some time felt the beauty the power of poetry. . "Who could fail to admire the sweet songs of a Moore, or a Morris. The writers may slum ber, but their work will be handed down to posterity. For ages to come those sublime sentiments will gladden the hearts of earth's weary children. The philosophers the statesmen of old have all passed away, yet they are not forgotten. They live in the hearts of a greatful people. The world is wiser and better that they have lived. . . . "Time! time! In thy triumphal flight. How all life's phantoms flee away ! The smile of hope and young delight, Fames meteor beam and fancy's ray." 'Time is fleeting." In vain we try to bind it with the fetters of our will. ,We reach forth ns it were, to gain pos session of but one moment, which is but a mere atom in the composition of time ; yet, ere it is ours; 'tis forever flown. Small as they seem, these mo ments make up the days, the months, the years; and soon we shall look down life's vista at the golden grains of sand, some purified by the tears of sorrow, others glowing with the sun light of joyous happy life. "Thus time fleeth." But a few days since we welcomed the flrst bright morning of the glad new year. What beautiful pictures hope painted of the coming days ; but alas ! how few will ever be realized. Though but yester day the new year dawned, it is already drawing to a close; a brief season of sunshine and flowers, Uien winter again. " Time's great hour-glass will soon be empty. Six thousand times our earth has sped 'round the sun. A few more cycles, and time will be no more. The flrst glad morn of eternity will have dawned, earth, with all of earth, will be forever past. Shall we have lived in vain? "Lives of great men all remind us We can make our Uvea sotdime. And departing leave behind fts. Foot-prints on the sands of time.' Mary Snyder.

Hillsdale, Neb., Jan. 28, 1870. Pursuant . to announcement, a meet ing was held at this place this evening for the purpose of organizing a Pre cinct Teachers' Institute for Aspin wall and St. Deroin precincts. W. P. Shockey was chosen Chair man and M. W. Cook Secretary, and arrangements were made for a perma nent organization. S. W. McGrew, County Superinten dent, was present and delivered an ad dress which was highly commended for its practicability, thus awakening an interest amongst all classes pres ent; and considerable miscellaneous speaking followed by teachers and citizens, of which a large number were present both of ladies and gen tlemen. On motion, Messrs. McGrew, Jones and Button were appointed a commit tee to draft a constitution and by-laws for the society, and Messrs. "Winters, Slocum and Cook to prepare a pro gramme of exercises for to-morrow. Meantime, Superintendent McGrew and the tax payers discussed the sub ject of funds, all agreeing that some changes were necessary in the law pertaining to the School funds, and that a petition should be presented to the Legislature at their coming Ses sion, asking that honorable body to make such change. After receiving report of the com mittee on programme, the meet ing adjourned to meet at 9 o'clock a. m. to-morrow for permanent organi zation. . January 29, 1870.

A general discussion on the subject of teachers, scholars and institutes followed, engaged in by the Superin tendent, teachers and people, all show ing conclusively that this part of Ne maha county is alive on the subject of education, and that the people here want good teachers and are willing to pay them good wages. Superintendent McGrew manifested his ability and experience by the prompt and efficient manner in which he disposed of the usually long and tedious preliminaries, and by getting in a class drill on grammar, which was ably conducted and showed a good, sound knowledge of the subject all around. The class on drill was followed by essays by Cook and Winters. Committee on resolutions reported the following, which was adopted : Whereas, A Teachers' Institute has been held at Hillsdale, in Nemaha county, Nebraska, and, Whereas, We have had a profit able and interesting, meeting; .there- lore, te it Jce8ofvcd, 1st.

Put a piece of paper in your mouth, chew it rap idly, and it will stop your nose from bleeding. This remedy has been tried frequently, it is stated, and always with success. Physicians say that placing a small roll of paper or muslin nbove the front teeth, under the upper lip. and press ing hard on the same, will arrest bleeding at the nose, checking the passage of blood through the arteries leading to the nose. Men become bald. Why ? Because A. ft a tney wear close nats ana caps. Wo men are never bald except by disease, and they do not wear close hats and caps. Men never lose a hair below where the hat touches the head, not if thev have been bald twpntr vwra The close can holds the hp.t nn.l piration ; thereby the hair glands be- l-tjujc ncaa, sum uic uuir lailS OUl.

TEMPERANCE. V i Editor. Advertiser ; Permit me through the columns of your paper to submit to the Good Templars and friends of temperance in Nemaha, Richardson, Johnson, Pawnee and Gage counties, the fol lowing recommendation of the Con gressional Temperance Society : "Believing that the habitual use of intoxicating liquors as a' beverage causes poverty, suffering and crimes ; that there is safety alone in total ab stinance, and that the personal pledge and co-operative effort tend to secure and maintain such abstiuance, the Congressional Temperance Society suggest and recommend to the minis ters and to th churches, to all tem perance organizations and the philan thropist and patriots throughout the laud, to hold simultaneous meetings in their several towns, townships and city wards, on the 22d of Febru ary next, the birthday of Washington, and unite in the organization of Union Temperance Societies, based on the simple pledge of total abstinance from all that intoxicates, and to adopt prac ticable measures to have such pledge presented to every man, woman and child over ten years of age. There are millions of members of christian churches and public schools, and mil lions of those whom it is believed might be pursuaded to pledge their faith, truth and honor Wholly to ab-. stain from the use of intoxicating drinks; and this Society believes if a concerted, vigorous and presistent ef fort were made to that end, one-third of the nation would, within a few months, be thus pledged and en rolled." It is to be hoped that the friends of temperance in the above counties will consider the importance of the sug gestion and act in accordance with its recommendation ; and as but one tem perance organization exists in this dis trict, viz. : The "Independent Order of Good Templars," it is earnestly de sired by the Grand Lodge of Nebras ka, that all existing lodges be revived and new ones organized in every town and precinct. The following Good Templars' Plat form was adopted by the Right Wor thy Grand Lodge in 1So9 : 1st. Total abstinance from all intox icating liquors as a beverage. 2d. No license in any form or under any circumstances for the sale of liquors to be used as a beverage. 3d, The absolute prohibition ot the manufacture,' importation and sale of intoxicating liquors for such purposes prohibition by the will of the peo ple, expressed in due lorm by me law with the penalties deserved for a crime of such enormity. 4th. The creation of a healthy, pub lic opinion upon the subject by the active uissemi nation of truth in all the modes known to an enlightened philanthropy. 5th. The election ot good, lionest men to administer law. 6th. Persistance in efforts to save individuals and communities from so direful a scourge ajruius-t any form of opposition and dilliculty, until our success is complete and universal. Correspondence in the interest of the I. O. of G. T. respectfully solic ited. New lodges will be organized in any of the above counties by application to me at Brownville in person or by letter.

Our renders will recollect an account published in these columns about six a t T- 1 mouths ago, or a iiu-Ky rort jMiwaru, fv v. milliner, to whom her uffian- cietl lover, a young English nobleman, had left the marvelous loriune oi sev ntipn million dollars. We further stated that she had gone to London to look after the little bequest, but were unable at that time to give her full name, for the reason that her friends in this city requested us not to uo so, until nfter her return. She has come back, alter seeing that everything was all right in the English courts, and luis been waiting all this time on the action of those courts which have been trying to setaside the will, laey iioi-o" hnwpvpr. abandoned 1 he at- lllk I V w - - J tempt, and a little news item in the New York or:a oi luesuay tens us th.it. he bnu been informed bv her agent in London that an installment of $5,000,000 of the snug little bequest will be forwarded to ner uic present ment h. . We are, of course, now at liberty to give something of her history. She hails from Glover, Vermont, and is the niece of Mr. Daniel G.ay, of that town. Those who knew her in this city say she is quite a sensible girl, and not at alllikely to be upset by 1.5a of niTirnriiKT frnfit- nf fnrtlino T'hri story of her acquaintairte with the young rjnglisnnian is Known to uui few in this country. He came hereto recruit his failing health, and while wondering among the pleasant re treats along the Hudson, they met and lov. d, but a rapidty failing health called him back to his friends in Eng land, where about a year ago he died, having first proved his affection by leaving her his vast wealth. She, however, steadily attended to her business, that of catering to the fash ions of the ladies of Fort Edward, un til called to London by the attorneys of the estate. Now, with more than a princely fortune, she will probably give up her business, and we should'nt be surprised if h r trade became pop ular with ambitious, young ladies, for a few years to come, and perhaps with some of our Davenport beauties.

Ten minutes-sleep before dinner is worth more than nn hour after. It rests and refreshes and prepares the system for vigorous digestion.

The following account of the latent nitro-glyceriue accident is too funny to be withheld : This horrible tale was related to me by Archibald Haggerty, 'the young gentleman who blacks boots: . "Mr. Quill, you see Joe McGinnis and me, and a lot of us fellers, was a play in' marvels down to Pine street wharf one day, and Joe McGinnis had no luck. He blowed on his alley, and said conjurin' over it, and spit on it, and said 'fen every things,' but 'twau't no use, for us fellers won his common ers, and his bull's-eye, and his glass agate, and his white alleys, until Joe just burst out a ciyin', and went and set down on a board, and rubbed his fists into his eyes like he was tryin' to gouge 'em. And us fellers, we didn't pay do 'tention to Joe McGinnis, and we went on playin' and playin', and never saw that Joe had gone and sot down on a place where some feller had been shippin' thisyer nitro-glyccrine. And that there stuff, you know, Mr. Quill, it had been and leaked out all over that there board on which Joe McGinnis was a settin', and the first thing Joe McGinnis knowed, his pants was soaked with nitro-glycer-ine, like he had sot down in the river. Yes, it was. And Joe McGinnis, when he felt it a gittin' damp, he pranced home and thought he'd dry them pants of his'n by the stove. But, you know, old Mrs. McGinnis, when she seed Joe, she was mad as fury, and she just rose right up and snorted : "I say, you Joe, you outrageous willin, wher've you bin with them there pants?" "And then old Mrs. McGinnis she just made a rush for Joe, Mr. Quill, and she grabbed a hold of Joe, and lay him across her lap this here way, you know. Then she lifted up that there number sixteen fisto' hern, in tendin' to spank Joe McGinnis like sin. But when she struck that nitro glycerine, Mr. Quill, wasn't there a regular bustin' out of things! Je-ru-sa-lem ! I guess so ! There was a kind of a grumble and a roar, and a rarin', tarin', thunder and lightnin' explo sion, and then about thirty billion of earthquakes all run into one, and Joe McGinnis wtxs blown through the winder and the door, and the fire place, in little bits of chunks about the size of a marvel, and he never knowed what ailed him, while Mrs. McGinnis went a pitchin' through the ceilin' and the garret abut ten thousand miles, along with chairs and stove-pipe, and pans and cats, and soup-tureens and one thing another; and she never come down again, he didn't. And that was what ailed Joe McGinnis and Mrs. McGinnis, assure as you're born. And now, Mr. Quill, couldn't you give a feller a quarter for Christmas?" That was a sad fate, that of young Joseph McGinnis; and what a solemn warning it conveys to mother.. How careful every pareut should be to ex amine her child's trowsers with chem ical tests for nitro-glycerine before in flicting punishment. Let mothers lay the lesson to heart, and resolve' hereafter to exercise loving vigilance, lest thev. too, should perish as this wretched Mrs. McGinnis did, without a chance to get off any last words. , B AX ABANDONED BABY. On Saturday niiiht Officer Kuss found a babv in a blanket, on the steps of Mr. H. T. Clark's residence, No. 131'J Pine street, in tne bianKei wn thfl following nathetie letter ad dressed to Mr. Gray, No. 1319 Pine street : Mr. Gray and W ue Here is my poor little baby; I have to do some thing with it. Some one must keep it for tne. God only knows how badly I hate to part with it. I must leave it to the mercy of some one, and I am told you are both rich and good peo- a. . . pie ; you win not sureiy narm u, any how. This is mv third hild. The first I gave away, and the second my mother keeps. Tins 1 must give away too. t have not seen my husband for six months. No one will hire me with a baby. My mother has seven children, and is poor. She cannot keep it for me. My husband was always drunk, and sometimes he did not come home for weeks at a time. My dear little girl will never know itn mother : but no matter what you do with it, she will be well off com pared with us lot with nio. For the sake of a poor forsaken mother, do something with it that it may live. It was born Thursday morn at about half past-seven, January 13th, 1870. I never gave it my breast ; my dear baby has only had the bottle. My every thought will be a prayer for my darling baby. St. Louis Dem ocrat. A great deal of character is often imparted and received at the table. Parents too often forget this, and therefore instead of swallowing j our food in silver silence, instead of brood ing over your business, instead of se verely talking about others, let the conversation at the table be genial, kind, social and cheering. Don't bring unpleasant things to the table in your conversation any more than you would in youi dishes. For this reason, too, the more good company you have at your table, the better for your - children. Every conversation with company at your table is an ed ucator of the family. Hence the intel ligence, and the refinement, and the appropriate behavior of a family which is given to hospitality. Never feel that intelligent visitors can be any thing but a blessing to you and yours. How few have fully gotteu hold of the fact, that company and conversa- tion at the table are no small part of 'education. A "Visit to a niinese Silk Factory. ! A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial writes from Canton : I directed my guide to take me into the silk weaving streets. We soon entered them. I at once dismounted to take a careful observation of their modus operandi, for the production of this renowned fabric of orienUl looms. All around me was silk, nothing but silk. In small dark houses, little bet ter than hovels, were seen people, principally women, dyeing this deli cate textile. Outside in little filthy yards and pig-styes, over the ground where the family swine were wallow ing, were placed bamboo poles, where on were hangitig skeiii-i of colored silk, just from the dye, and glowing with the most vivid hues, as they hung for drying in the sunshine, over the loathsome pools below. . I visited several of their weaving shops. They were quite similar in their fixtures, and arrangements. I spent some time an examining one of the largest. It was, perhaps, one hundred feet long, and about sixteen feet wide. The walls were of course clay blocks, sun dried, unpiaeced by a single aperture or for air light, save at the front, which was entirely open the whole length of the building. The floor was simply of trodden clay, uneven and untidy. An aisle ran down the center, just wide enough for one person to pass ; on either side of this were ranged the nearest looms, and standing as close together as they could be placed. Two or three persons were employ ed on the work of each loom. The looms are plain common looking af fairs, almost precisely the same kind, as to appearance and mode of manipu lation, as those upon which our grand mother in Ohio used to weave the linsey-woolsey for the wear of us Western boys when even the preacher was almost a stranger to broad-cloth. Squatting myself down by one of these friendly-looking acquaintances, of my boyhood, I leisurely watched the delicate and dilligent manipula tions of the weaver and his assistants as their shuttles flew to and from the mazy mystery of figures and llowers, came gradually out larger and plainer upou the glowing surface of the gor geous fabric, which those skillful workmen were creating under my eye. So complex were the movements of the men upon these simple looking machines, and rnarvelously beautiful were the products resulting therefrom, that I gazed with unbounded amaze ment upon this work of silk weaving, as it progressed before me. The weather being very warm and the shop crowded, the workmen were almost naked. My -visit interested them manifestly, though not a loom ceased its clicking, clacking noise, not a man left his employment to gaze, but I detected them giving furtive glances and exchanging mutual smiles among themselves t.t the curious stranger who had thus unceremonious ly squatted himselfdown in their midst by one of these humble looking looms on a common dirt floor, within home ly clad walls, were, nevertheless, are produced these magnificent fabrics which for ages and throughout the world, have been the pride of wealth, th envy of beauty and the admiration and desire of royalty. Far down and nearly to the extreme limit of this long room, was a plain board counter extending quite across the room. Be hind it stood theproj rietor of the fac tory, a smooth-faced, richly-clad Chi namen. Directly over him the house was unroofed, thereby affording a spacioussfcylight ; except this window there was none. Through this sky light, and down upon the counter be low, the sunshine fell through upon the finished work of this dingy, dirty squallid looking workshop.- The pro prietor m us busy measuring off, and packing up the products of his looms. And as the sunlight streamed full up on the gorgeous colors of those mag nificent silks, satins and brocades which the proprietor was tossing about in bil lowy radience, it seemed to my ej'es, as I stood far up in the feeble light of the center cf the room, as though he was tossing or toying rainbows. From places so humble and surroundings squalid as this come those royal fabrics whit-hare to dec orate palaces, and to Idorn the person of peinces and monarch of the earth. ii 3IAUK TWAIN'S HOTEL.

The flowers fade, the heart withers, man grows old and dies, but time writes no wrinkles oh eternity. Eternity. O, stupenduous thought ! Earth has its beauties, but time shrouds them for their grave; its palaces, they are but the gilded sepulchre; ita pleas ures, they are bursting bubbles. Not so in the untried bourne. Iu the dwelling of the Almighty can come no footsteps of decay. The3r have a queer way of saluting people at Salesbury, Conn. At an Episcopal convocation held there not loug since, a Winsted -laymen was about entering the church in compa ny with the clergyman, when crowd of loafers near the door, who had been with hini through the rebellion, 3'elled out tohlfn, "How are you, Cap? What yedoin'? Won't you come and take an old fashioned drink, the way we used to do in the army ?" ANOTHER NEW STATE, An effort is now making to consoli-' date the State of Deleware and tha Eastern shore of Maryland and A ceo-' mac county, fn Virginia, In to anev! tate, to be called Chesapeake. The: thirt'en counties in the three States, -make the peninsula, lying between the Chesapeake, the "Delewaro river and the Atlantic ocean. It is believ ed that these counties have popula-.' tion and identical interest, of . suf ficient importance to warrant their creation iuto a new State. Under tho the proposed plan, Deleware, of course,' loses its identity ; but this id to offset the objection which the people of Vir ginia and Maryland in the counties adjoining mijrht have to annexation to so small a State as Deleware, whieh by compromise may become the larger, and more important State of Chese-, peake. The plan U not a new one," Simon Cameron, as Secretary of War' in 1SG1, ofiicially recommended it, ani it ha., been discussed from time to tiiuo ever since. The reason given f .r moving in the matter now, is that, if the new State is to bo created, it can' be ranked in the enumeration, esti mates and statistics of the censit about to be taken, as the State of, Chcsepeake, not Deleware. ' , A MUKDEKOrs SEA" FLOWER. : One of the most exquisite wonders... of the sea is called the opelet, and i about as large as the German aterr looking, indeed, vecy much like onu tipped with rose color. These lovely petals do not lie quietly in their placed like those of the aster in your garden. but wave about in tho water, whilej the opelet generally clings to a rock How innocent and lovely it looks on' its rocky bed! , Who would suspect that it would cat anything grosser than dew or sunlight? But thosil beautiful waving arms, as you cali them, have another use besides, look ing pretty. They have to provide- for. a large open mouth, which is hidden deep down among them so well hid den that one can scarcely find it. Well do they perform their duty, foe the instant a foolish little flshlet touch es one of the rosy tips he h struck with poison as fataltohim as lightning. He immediately becomes numb, ami in a moment stops struggling: and then th? other beautiful arms wrap themselves around him and he H drawn into the huge greedy mouth, is seen no more. Then the lovely arms unclose and wave again in tha water, looking a3 innocent and harm less ns though they had never touched a fish. HE COULD BE TKUSTED. Alfred was missing one night about sunset. Mother was getting anxious for she always wished him to be home early. A neighbor coining in, said a number of boys had gone to the river to swim, and he thought Alfred wai sofe enough to be with them. 'No," said the mother, "lie promis ed me he would not go there without my leave and he altcayi keep. hi3 word. He never told a lie." But seven o'clock came, then eiht, still mother was watching and listen ing for the step of Alfred ; but it wa h&lf-post eight be fore his merry shouts were heard, when ho ran iuto the gate. "Confess, now," saik the neighbor, "that you have been to the river with -the other boys, and so kept away till late," How the boy's eye flasheJ, and the crimson mounted to his cheeks!, "No sir, I told my mother I would nrrcr go there withopt her leave, and do jjou think I would tell a Ur I helped James to find the cows .that had strayed in the wood, and did not thing I should be o late." James coming up the slreet just then came in to tell us he was afraid yrb had been alarmed ; they had been m far in the wood it inrde them lute in getting home. "I think," said the neighbor, turn ing to tlfc- mother, as he took his hat to go home, "there is comfort in store for you madam. Such a boy rs that will make a noble man." t'hildrid'a Guest. .... - ii m SHERMAN AND H01VA IID. While marching through Georgia, General Sherman traveled with thy left wing under General Slocuni. After a long and wearisome irnircir, lie, one day crossed over to the riiciit wing, under General Howard. While in General Howard's teut, which had just been pitched, the Medical Director came in, well ac quainted with the habits and C-sr toiiis of both. Gen. Sherman fcomu times "took a glass," while General Howard was strongly opposed to tho indulgence. Knowing " this, tho Medical gentleman, after a short time, wishing to serve his chief without of-feii'-e to Howard, .aid: "Genera! Sherman, you look weary and ill. ; If you will come over to my tent, I will give you a seidlltz powder, which I think will do vou good." "Thank you." readily resoudtl Tecumseh ; "I think I will." The man of physic departed, and General Howard ; who took every thing Iitterally, ran to his valise and got a powder, which he mixed and handed to Snorman. "There i no need to go away for one if that is what you waut, he said ; ami Sherman inwardly chagrined, but h'ghly amused, drank the cup manfully, to the mirth of several by standers, who comprehended the whole magnitude of the joke at a' glance. "Woman's Rights" Priieticallj Exem plified. An exchange tells the following: A gentleman of this city who Is in clined to favor woman's rights hal rather a warm discusion at lib break fast the other morning with his better half and mother, who, stiange to say, are opposed to his opinions on this subject. He went away to his busi ness, feeling quite elated, for he thought he hud gained the victory in the argument. I'pon coining homo to dinner lie found the table half set, the domestic arrangements in a stato of confusion, and looking, .into tho sitting room he was astoui-iit.I to find the ladies of the house in decided nrrjUfe dresses, and unkempt hair, with tcet on chrsir?-, one perusincr tho President's Message and the other in tently reading theNew York Ti Zuns.
