A S i i s eyt ! Hational Banner. MISCELLANEOUS AND &AL i b For the National Banner, INKDROPS INLAND, i BY GRANDMOTHER GRETCHIEN, Well, how do you do? It has been sometime since we parted, and I suppose you have anxiously awaited our meeting —but, excnse me, I have interrupted your reading. You ar¢ improving your mind and time by perusing.— what? a dime novel! 1 am astonished, digusted, and hurt. "To think that you would be found | with such an-‘allurement of the Devil in , your posscseion, shocks me beyond expres‘sion. Now, my friend;since I have éaught you cramming your mind with the lowest grade of trash let me say a word or two, and of course you will not be affronted as you are aware that I am naturally plain in eonversation, 4

- I never liked the circulating library sys- . tem, generally filled with the yellow: backed, dangcrogs lit(':n.mrle of today; all ‘“blood and murder yet nobody killed stories;” and to see a_young man or woman poring over sume “fircand thunder ” novel makes my heart ache for his or her fo ture, - There sie exceptions, however, in the romantieal Heernture of to day. ?gmpe - of our most respeetable magazines dre produetive of good and tend to render the reader thoughtfal and perhaps experiunced?_l_mt you never find them in -the hands of the confirmed novel-reader. No, indeed! they are not excitable enough, there is no “fifty chapters of nothing” to be found in them nor do they find the Heavens falling and qrave-yard ‘spectres walking throngh the 'dark rocesses of a lone abbey, leaving foot-prints of blood as they disappear in the depths of some wicked counts’ vault whiere blue lights - mount noiseless in the solemn midnight. ~ Oh, no, and of course such literature is abandoned for the low, injurious and dangerpus'readingg,k usually found in cheap bogki “stores, to’ the -ruination of the patroh... I would a great .deal rather count my fingers, or play “ Old Bloody Tom” with the children,, than waste time and eternity— or.my chances for it at least—engaging in such deplorable employment, " Then, my friend, take a retrospective view ‘of your past time and give me the estimate of your benefit derived from your wasted money and lost time. In my estimate, you would haye been bhetter off , - had you never had a cent.

But, strange to say, there are many young persons that persist in digesting -this hartful and terrible frait of the Evil One.!; Connected with this, but not so detrimental to good &nmhners. is another hubit. called recreation. or pleasure by soime of its admirers, and by others wasting time to the lively tunes. It is dancing, and its influences, although/ not so dire as the former, tend to lead the mind int 6 all channels of idle ‘and useless frivolities of the fashionale world. For my part [ always viewed sthe custom of “flying feet " as an omen of the fact that sound judgment had gone on an excursion or else ‘was slumbering somewhere within the limits of the * fantastic toe” or.restless heel, instead of occupying that loty and elcv‘q‘tcd place, calculated for the center of pure, sober thought and all the impulses of an ennobled mind. - I met a young lady, the other day, and in answer to my formal inquiry of how she was, said : I am so tired, almost sick, and beside that T have caught such o dreadful cold which keeps me coughing all‘the time.” - Here.she broke down ina fit.of violent coughing, after which I ven. tured to ask how she came to be 85 untortunate, when she smiled rather sheepishly and said: “ ©! I attended the inaugu: fation ball last night, and danced until nearly exhanstéd and enught such a ter rible cold by going to the open window for a fresh breath, and,” added she, *“if it wagn't for the éxcitement and fan T never would go to another bail.” This girl was honést in her confession as far as she went, lam certain, but if she had added the catalogne of the finery, spent money, wasted time, thin dressing, and all the vexations and palpitations of the heart connected with the occasion, it would have been better, decidedly. better. _ Not long ago I overheard & young man expressing his opinion in regard to wearing out the sole. It was thig, th{at there were n great ‘many things to be learned in the behalf of polished manners and propriety in the ball-room, that never could be wrrived at elsewhere. In fact ‘he argned that a dancer could appear better in_company, &c., than any one else, and”when nsked how much benefit, how much good there was in it, he “slid, "— Aj to learning manners, I am in for it every time, hut if one cannot be able to cultivate good minners without patronizing a dancing-school, and wasting good health. in attending balle to accomplish it, then [sy do witnout. I 'do not concar ‘with the aforesaid gentieman in his views, howcver he may be sincere, and soam I. ¢

"In'speaking of refinement and good so- ] '(-iuty( [ would rather prefer the homespun ' maners of the backwoods farmer who, plain and unpretending, is honestly just what he is, and no more, than to/endanger morals by an attendance where. smoothtongued villains, 'in gentleman’s dress, with, pérhaps, n decanter in * their ring,” or, perchance, a part of the (mnténfs already * muddling " théir brain, carouse in the hall of gay festivities where the art “of bowing te a ** U 7 is predominant. Perhaps T am worrying your patience, reader, and.if you believe in‘patronizing the silly, bair-brained dancing-master, you are aching for me to say adien, buat if you bappen to believe as I do, just see that you never exert an iofluence conducive to either of the two prevailing evils which attract the majority of the youth, and you will confer a favor upon, and have the thanks of a sensible community, ot b i Saralr 8.

LB s mmmw s ;}*::? Dr, Lilienthal, of Cincinnt%im ‘beén’ writing a letter to Governor Buker, urging him to use his influence tovhqv;qﬂthe} divorce laws tﬁtbumendedgp as to enhance the value of divorce. It seems! to us thn'}"; - inhabitant ‘Atherssn’us{ are perspiring unnecessarily about” the ‘enormity of oﬁr divoree laws. Our laws arc all right. Itis the perjury of Eastern carpet-baggers that is wrong. The laws themselves are stringent enough, We don’t believe in the Jewish ruling that | adultery alone is proper ground for severance of the marriage relation. That is one of the most venial of the offenses of “which brutal husbandsand heartiess wives ~may be guilty. The marriage vows embrace much more than obligations to chas‘tity. The husband who deliberately breaks the heart of his wife by a long. course of systematic brutality does her _injury infinitely greater than by forming | adulterous connections ; yet these sticklers for indissoluble marriage would bind 4 woman imhop;’:le.ss gontact with a bru-, tal husband; with the loatkesome corpse of a dead love between them. Until mén _and women become infallible in their antematrimonial judgments of each other's characters, let there be a remedy for mistakes, which are liable to happen in the best of families ; and let that remedy lie in the honest administration of intelligent and rational divorce laws.—lndianapolis - Mirror, e § ‘ : | A Case of Recklessness. Fhe following incident is said to-have veeurted noa Utica restaurant, A man recenily entered the place and ordered a very elaborate dinver. -He lingered long at the taole, and finally wonnd np with a bottle of wine. Then lighting a cigar hg had ordered, leisurely sauntered up 10 the counter, and said to the proprietor: : ; : .+ “Very fine dinner, landlord; just charge it to me, I baven't gota cent.” = *But I don’t know you,” said the proprietor indignantly. : : “Of course you don't ; If you had you wouldn't have let me bad the dinner.” “Pay me for the dinner, I say.” » ; *And Isay I can't.” : - “T'll see about that,” said the fpropx‘ietor, who snatched a revolver out of a drawer, lcaped over the counter and collared the mpan, exclaiming, as he pointed it at his head: “Now see if you'll get away with that dinner without paying for it, you.scoundrel.” : “ Wdiat is that you hold in you: hand ?” said the impccunious customer, drawing back. e ; * That, sir, isa revolver.” “QOh, that'sa tevolver, is it?

‘l'he Dome of the National Capitol. The dome of the Capitol at Washington is the most ambitious structure in: America. It is 180 feet higher ‘than the Washington Monument at Baltimore, 68 feet higher than Bunker Hill, and 22 feet higher than the Trinity Churck spire of New York. Tt is the-tnly considerable dome of iron in the world. Itisa vast hollow sphere of iran, weighing 8,000,200 pounds. How mneh is that? = More than 4,000 tons, or abbut the weight of 70,000 tull-grown people, or about equal to 1,000 laden coal cars, which, holding four tons apiece, would reach over two miles and a half. Directly over your head’'fs a male figure in bronze, “ America,” weighing 13,985 pounds. The pressure of the ircn dome upon its piers and pillars is 14,477 pounds to the square foot. St. Peter's -presses nearly 20,000 pounds nore to the square foot, and St. Genevieve, at Paris, 65,000 pounds more It would requireto crush the supports of our dome, a pressure of 755,290 pounds to the square foot. The cost was about $1,000,€00. " The new wings cost $6,560,000. The architect has a plan for rebuilding the old central part of the Capitol, and enlarging the Park, which ‘will cost $3,200,000. Sl et After copying the article from the BAxNER of the 12th inst. which referred to the circular isshed by Andrew Ellison the Goshen Deinocrat says : ; = “ We have not yet seen the circular referred to, but if it is afact that Ellison bas coupled the name of Mr. Stoll with anything that has occurred between him and the publisher of this paper, he does Mr. Stoll great injustice. He might just as wellicouple the name of any other manin the country with the matter asthat of Mr. Stoll. We have been in the habit, for the last three or four years, of publishing the names in a black list of all scoundrels who refuse to pay us, whether democrats or republicans, and that without askinf the advise of anybody as to whether it would be policy or not. Ellison refused to pay us what was justly our due, and we have at tempted to make him_“odious,” which he always has been at home, where the neople are best acquainted with him. He has been too cowardly and mean to distribute any of his circulars in this section of the country, and as we are not fully posted as to their contents, we are unable to do the old white livered scrundrel justice lin this issue. But wc have some old records against him which will probably appear, if it is thought advisable to pay any further attention to him.” £ el i e L % WHEN NoT 10 EAT.— Never eat when much fatigued.
