®h» fwt’ji Corntn EVENING MEDITATION. When the hours of day are numbered, And voices of the night Wake the better soul that slumbered, To a holy, calm delight, Then the forms of the departed -Enter at the open door—- - The beloved, the true-hearted, Come to visit me once more. OWED TO PRINTERS. When inkless printers stoop to credit, And find too late that man won't pay— What charm can soothe those who edit? What art can wash the debt away? ** L ■ The only art their case to better i s To bring the money when "tis due, To give repentance to the debtor. And wring the pocket—is to sue. l . X The Originators of the White Man's party. Both Stephen A. Douglas and Abraham Lincoln, were the first to propose and advocate a white man's party. The sentiments below were uttered by these two distinguished gentleman when they were candidates for the United, States Senate in Illinois, against each other, in>lßsß: I hold that this Government was made on the white basis, by white men, for the benefit of white men and their posterity forever, and should be administered by white men, and none othere. Ido not believe that the Almighty made the negro capable of self government —Stephen d. Douglas. Now hear President Liocoln in reply: I AM NOT, NOR EVER HAVE BEEN, IN FAVOR of MAKING VOTERS OR JURORS OF NEGROES, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor intermarrying them with white people, and I will say, in addition to this, that there is a PHYSICAL DIFFERENCE between the white and the black races, which 1 believe, will forever forbid the two r.tices living together an terms of social and political equality—and, inasmuch as they can not so live, while they do remain together, there must be a position of superior and inferior, arid I, as much as any other man, am in favor of having the SUPERIOR POSITION ASSIGNED TO THE WHITE RACE. Learning a Secret. Here is the way they do in France. A M'llele A. became indisposed, so her family called in the family doctor and left them gether. The doctor was curious and suspicious as to the cause of the young lady's sickness. He drew a lancet from his pocket to bleed her,’but at the moment he I pressedthe xeiu he I “Ah, mon Diou!” “What’s the matter, Monsieur?” , “MaderaoiseLe, I had nearly killed you!” “Kill me?” “Listen ” (Here he drew a lan- ... Y • . ...1. X X i.TT-.- .

cet troin Ins pocket.) ‘•Here arc two lancets ; the first is for wives, j the second for maids. You see how necessary it is to be ■careful in j, the use of surgical instruments. — . You are a maiden, of course!’-* p “Certainly. .Monsieur!” ‘Well, if I bleed with a wife's , lancet I should kill; and vice vertta. , Now, M llcle, hold out your arm ; this is the right lancet." “Doctor!” “Medemoiselle ?” 1 ‘ “Take the btherone !” —— - — — in Oriental Fable. The appetite for strong drink, | when indulged an I pampered, gains such a mastery of the soul that its subjugation is almost im- , ,p_os?ihl e. An Eu g-i Ay fable iilns---r ♦rates it thus; ‘A king one? permitted the dev-1 il to kiss him on either shoulder.— 1 inmeliately two serpents grew from his shoulders, who. furious with hunger, attacked his beau and attempted to get brain.— I The king pulled them awav and them with his nails. But he i soon found with jnd<-<cribablc I horror, that they had become jd.rts of himself, and that in wounding them he was lacerating his own fl“sh.’ Such is the deplorable con dition of every victim of appetite and lust. Some Californian started the following: “A noted trout fisher died in Alameda county, not long ago.— Fishing was the one idea of his existence. His last words were characteristic: ‘T say. Brown. I'in going to peg out. sure. I’ve flirted my last lish ; but bury my tackle with me—who knows but they bite in Jordan.f*

The Sprintield Republican hints at hugging and kissing among male and female members of a Lodge of Good Templars. This is embracing the tem|>eranee cause ardently. Rev. Father McMahon, one of the Fenian prisoners in Canada, is reported to lie at the point of death. _

A Baby Soliloquy. lam here. And, if this is# what = they call the world, I don’t think much of it. It's a very flannely world, and smells of paregoric awfully. It’s a dreadful light world, too, and make me blink, I tell you. And I don’t know what to do with my hands; I think I’ll dig my fists in my eyes. No, I won’t. I’ll scrabble at the corner of my blanket and chew it up, and then" I'll holler; whatever happens I'll holler. And the more paregoric they give me, the louder I’ll yell. That old nurse puts _ the spoon in the corner of my mouth in a veiy easy way, and keeps tasting my milk herself all the while. She spilled snuff in it last night, and when I hollered she trotted me. That comes of being a two days’ old baby. Never mind, when I’m a man I’ll pay her

. back good. There's a pin sticking in me now, and if I say a word about it I’ll be trotted or fed, and : I would rather have catnip tea. ! I'll tell yon who I am. I found to-day. 1 heard folks say, “Hush don't wake up Emmeline’s baby, - ’ and I suppose that pretty, whitefaced woman over on the pillow is Emmeline. No I was mistaken, for a chap was in here just now, and wanted to see Bob’s baby, and looked at me and said that I was a funny little toad, and looked just like Bob." ■He smelt Os cigars, and I’m not used-to them. I wonder who else I belong to. Yes there’s another one—that's “Ganma.” Emmeline told me, and she took me up and held me against her soft eheek and said, “It was Ganma's baby, so it was.” I deciare, I do not know who I do belong to ; but I'll holler, and may be I'll find out. There comes snuffy with catnip tea. The idea of given babies catnip tea, when they are crying for information ! I 'm going to sleep. I wonder if I don't look pretty red in the face ? I wonder why my hands won’t go to where I want them to ? Why Don't Farmers Study their Profession. We ask our cultivators, why is it that all who come under the denomination of farmers should take so little interest in agriculture ? Why should the noblest profession on earth have for many of its * profession friends and co-opera-tors those who rarely read a paper or open a book, or study a line of truth in the science from which they earn ther daily bread ? No lawyer that would make himeminent, but feels the necessity of a good library, and secures the opinions of all distinguished jurists, courts, A-c., and he reads the opinions and finds ideas to guide him in his own advancing way. No physician but seeks from the practical labors of his fellow craft, and from their written and printed ■ opinions, light and knowledge to ! guide him on his way. No clergyman but that will pej ruse the writings and discussions of all his own sect, and even those that differ from him widely, in order that he may select the true and

reject the false. No manufacturer or mechanic but stores his mind with information from the best books and the journals that treats of the science I appertaining to his own business.- i But the noblest science, alas for the farmer! He thinks tio often that as he has ploughed from his boyhood, he understands all about farming, and booksand papers are of little use to him. How fatal to his success is this folly. ,A lifetime spent in practical farming only shows to the intelj ligent man that he Las but just entered upon, the threshold of the great Temple of Nature, ami according as he desires true ' edge, so certain will | but the man that folds his arms, ! believing that he knows all. Heav|en will w ithdraw the light of truth . from him, ami success can never Lryst iipofi his labors, '--Cal ifornitt : I-'aruter. ~ • Destui i tiox of Sheep by Dogs. ' —The March report of the U. S Commissioner df Agriculture dwells upon the ravages committed by dogs among the sheep in the United States- In 18'1<» live hundred thousand sheep were killed by dogs, and tiieir value was 81.000.- , DOO. The number injured was i three hundred thousand, and the loss is estimated at B<i'>6.ooo. The | number of dogs in the country is I computed at. five millions their annual expense ten doliars per head, and the total of their subsistence fifty millions—an immense sum to liestow upon a class of animals the most of which are worth- ‘ I and many of them causing gfeat mischief to the farmer.

Representative Poland expects the t ote upon the Presidents Impeachment will besyostriet par■ty vote. I his is tho amount of the matter: “Andrew Johnson is no longer on trial for crimes committed against the Constitution and laws, but he-stands arraigned before the highest legal tribunal of the lamb to answer for offenses committed against a political organization.” AJ -
