8b fort’s Corner. THE MGHT, 0, the summer night Has a smile of light, , And she sits on a sapphire throne, ] Whilst the sweet winds load her , W'ith garlands of odor, From the buds of the roses o’erflown. i But the autumn night Has a piercing sight, And a step both strong and free; And a voice for wonder, Like the wrath of thunder, When he shouts to the stormy sea 1 Ami the winter night Is cold and white, And he singeth a song of pain, Till the wild bee hummeth, And the warm spring cometh, ; When she dies in a dream of rain. , Oh, the night, the nigh* I ’Tis a lovely sight, Whatever the clime or time I For sorrow then soareth, And the lover out-poureth His soul in a star-bright rhyme. It bringeth sleep To the forest deep, The forest bird to its nest; To care bright hours And dreams of flowers, ■ And the balm to the weary—rest. F" '■ 1 Wtbm, &r. -What commodity is always afforded at cost ? The law. -What things increase the more 1 you contract them ? Debts.. • -Be temperate in diet. Our first 1 parents ate themselves out of house * and home. -Florida paper objects to “var- ' nishing reports,” but states its intention to “ paint a moral.” -Why is a prosy preacher like < the middle of a wheel ?

' * -Why does the now moon re- j mind one of a giddy girl? Because she is too young to show much reflection. -Why was the giant Goliah • very much astonished when David hit him with a stone ? Such a thing never entered his head before. -Mr. Ward being asked, “Do you spell your name Artem-as or : Artem-us ?*’ answered, “Oh, spell it wrong and it’s sure to be right” -O'Leary, gazing with astonishment upon aa elephant in a menagerie, asked the keeper “what kind of a baste is that atin’ hay with his tail ?” -Shakespeare says that “use strengthens habit.” Somebody «. states that-lie tried the experiment on a coat, but.it did not answer at all. -A nosegay is easily obtained, four brandy toddies a day fora couple of months, will put you in the way of one that will astonish all your friends. -The ode to the Sultan was done into English characters for the singers, and Mad’lle Titiens warbled, “Afeetabee ney me dogdoo kimzayhee nooree jayleel I” -Somebody having called the Democracy a God forsaken party, Prentice replies that the little god, whose voice is still for “spoons,” forsook it some time ago. _-We. think this extract from « medical advertisements is entirely correct: “Consuptives cough while you can; for after you have taken one bottle of my mixture you can't.” -A young lady in lowa City requested a dry goods clerk to show her some lavender kid gloves.

Elegance Does not Make a Home. I never saw a garment too fine for man or maid; there was never a chair too good for a cobbler, a cooper, or.king to sit in, never a house.to fine to shelter the human head. These elements about us—the gorgeous sky, the imperial sun, are not too good for the human race. Elegance fits man. But do we not value these tools of housekeeping a little more than they are worth, and sometimes mortgage a house for the mahogony wc would bring into it ? I had rather eat my dinner off the bead of a barrel, or dress after the fashion of John the Baptist in the wilderness, or sit on a block all my life, than to consume all of myself before I got to a home, and take so much pains with the outside that the inside was hollow as an empty nut. Beauty is a great thing, but beauty of garments, house and furniture, is a very tawdry ornament compared with domestic love. All the world’s elegance will not make a home, and I would give more for a spooful of hearty love than for ship-loads of furniture and the upholsters in the world could gather together. Twenty Thousand Treasury Officials. A dispatch from Washington states that a report is being made up at the Treasury, showing that there are over twenty thousand officials connected with the department through its varied revenue branches. Twenty thousand officials in a single department of the government. This number is nearly double the strength of the aggregate of the United States army at the commencement of the war, which was only 12,931. Averaging the saleries of these office holders at §2,000 each, a low figure, and saying nothing of what they steal, and we have a total of forty millions of dollars annually paid out of the hard earnings of the people to support them..— A sum greater than the entire expenditures of the Federal government for all purposes during the eight year’s administration of Washington and the following four year's administration of John Adams. A Gypsy F uneral. A singular trait of the gypsies is reported by the Dayton Journal. It seems that some years ago a man named Stanly, the king of the tribe in his country, was buried in great state at the Woodland Cemetry. Since then, no matter where a member of the tribe in this country has died, the remains have been conveyed to the same place for interment. Last fall and winter, four children of the tribe died in Texas, and the remains were sent to the vault in Woodland until a. sufficient delegation from the tribe could be gathered to celebrate the ceremonies properly. The Dayton Journal speaks very well of the conduct of the gypsies in that neigborhood. — » i—~ I i Paying the Debt and Abolishing Taxation.—A Republican writes us the following suggestion; He proposes that the people, without distinction of party meet in every township throughout the country, to pass resolutions in favor of imediately paying the Natioal debt in greenbacks, and so relieve the people of a large part of their taxation. In order to give efficiency to this resolve he would have every candidate for office catechised, and only those supported who will favor directly and unreservedly the payment of the debt in this manner.— This is a good practical idea, and is worthy of being adopted.

A young lady of a respectable family at Pittsburg, was arrested by the police, recently, disguised as a negress, having blackened her face and neck with oil and charcoal. It seems that she was suspicions of another young lady being on too Intimate terms with her lover, and she expected to surprise them in disguise. Such is the force of jealousy. A gentleman just from- Hot Springs, Arkansas, says there are two hundred and fifty visitors at that famous summer resort. A downright purpose is essen- : tia! to an uptiglit practreb. '

Taking the Advantage Time. Much of a farmer’s success depends upon taking advantage of the weather, and the right time to do certain kinds of work. We need rot here allude to having time; though even here men differ widely in their management Some men will sq contrive it as to have an abundance of hay out if there happens to be a rainstorm, while others will seem to be prepared for such an emergency and escape. We saw a man the other day who had, during the fall months, performed some serious dental operations on the pine stumps which had covered his fields. A flight of snow had fallen and he took advantage of it and hauled them off for the purpose of making a fence. No doubt he did it with one-half the expense of leaving them till spring. When a man has a large stone to haul at a distance, or his winter’s supply of wood, he can by taking advantage of the first snows, do it at a much cheaper rate than at any other time. We never think much of a man who goes to work banking up his house during the snow storm. It is this vigilant foresight which some men have, by which they succeed so much the more easily in accomplishing their purposes, that renders them superior to others.— Maine Farmer. English Plowing. Wc Americans have come out in mowing just about as the English did in the plowing match—that is they swept everything clean. Every one will ask, “Were there any American plowmen ?” but it would have made no difference if there had been, except that, in not trying, we avoided being outdone. The English would excel us, as they did the French, for three very good reasons: Wc cannot compete with them either in plows, teams, or plowmen—all necessary elements in a plowing match. This will be perfectly understood and acknowledged by all who have seen England and taken the least notice of plowing there, but will not be by those who have not. I do not contend that the time and force expended by the English plowman is any more remunerative than with us, but when you come to the doing of a nice job such as is expectedat a plowing match, wo cannot come up to their ordinary work. However bitter this pill may be to some of our “plowmen, plow makers and horsemen, they had better take it, and it will do them a vast deal of good.— Cor. Rural New Yorker.

Mechanical Uses of Castor Oil. Wc find in one of our exchanges the following remarks relative to the use. of castor oil in the trades, more particularly its application to leather: It is much better to soften and redeem oi l leather than any other oil known. When boots and shoes are greased with it, the oil will not at all interfere with the polishing afterward, as is the case with lard, olive, or any other oil. In Harrisburg, Pa, the old leather hose of some • >f the fire companies was gresaed with it, and found to become almost as soft and flexible as new leather. Leather belts for transmitting motion in machinery will usually last three to five years, according to the wear and tear they are exposed to; when greased with castor oil, they will last ten years or more, as they always remain flexible and do not crack. Besides this advantage castor oil will prevent slipping, so that a belt three inches wide, impregnated with it, will be equal to a belt four and a half inches without castor oil. It is necessary, however, to wait twenty-four hours, till the oil has disappeared from the surface and penetrated the leather, otherwise the- freshly-greased surface will cause slipping. The rats and other vermin detest anything impregnated with castor oil, and will not touch it—-another advantage. —Scientific American,
