OLI) FOLKS AT HOME. Wo copy the following lrom the Cleveland Leader: "Those who attended tlio Nilsson concert on Thursday evening last could scarcely have failed to note one incident. Tho appearance of Miss Nilsson was the signal for an enthusiastic outburst of applause. Her rendering of the brilliant operatic airs assigned to her on the programme was so successful as to greatly increase tho enthusiasm, but no sooner had tho first few notes of the accompaniment of her enoore song hinted that it would bo tho popular "Old Folks at Home," than the storm of the applause increased to a whirlwind that for a few seconds drowned tho music. "Two facts were shown by this little incident tho continued popularity of that favorite and touching melody and the success of an appeal to the heart as well as to tho cultivated tastes of an audience. Wo venture to say that no part of Thursday evening's performance was more generally enjoyed or more firmly impressed on tho memory of the greater proportion of those present than the singing of the two world-famous homc-songs.both of American origin,t he 'Old Folks at Home' and 'Home, Sweet Home.' These wero rendered by Miss Nilsson with a feeling that proved her thorough mastery of tho language, and tiiat she herself, 'a stranger in a strange land,' entered fully into the spirit of those melodious yearnings for homo. Tliey^ were sung from the heart and went straightto the hearts of the listeners. The other songs, sweet as they were, pleased the ears of those present, but with great tho majority went no further.

tner. \vC Vsp*

It'fs said Miaslsilssou first heard th'f hlhi^Wnie'd take

'Old Folks at Homo' sung at the house of Parke Godwin, ipi New York, soon after he arrival in this country, and that she was so much struck by its plaintive melody and touching words, finding a response as they did in her own heart, that she immediately set herself to learning both, and rarely fails to sing them in some portion of each concert. Her exquisite utterance of tho melody will ^ivo renewed interest to a song which in the last quanter of a century has had an almost unpMfclleledsuccess. It was among the etmior published compositions of the late Stephen C. Foster, of Pittsburg, and mado his name known and esteemed wherever the English language is spoken and English songs sung. The copyright on this one song brought its author over $15,000, and the sale is still good. At the time of tho Crimean war, lotter-writters said that in tho trenches before Sebastopoi the two favorite songs wero the Scotch Annie Laurio' and the American 'Old •Folks at homo." Tho song has been sung in all parts of the world, wherever Englishmen or Americans have pen-, etratoa. It became a popular melody with tho Southern plantation negroes, and among tho audienco at the Nilsson concert were those who had heard the song in old times in the South, and were moved to tears by the touching manner of its repetition, and by its recalling old scenes. "Stephen C. Foster, the writer and composer of 'Old Folks at Home' was also tho author of many songs that arc only a little less popular than this universal favorite. His songs have taken tho public ear as those of few writers have done, being simple, pleasing, and at tho same time having heart in them. Seven years ago lie died in New York city, and the sorrow for his loss was general. Tho press throughout the United States combi*d to do honor to the memory of him who had given pleasure to thousands of firesides and family circles, and who had long enjoyed'the honor of being the most popular song-writer of America.

WKSDELL PHILLIPS ON SANTO DOMINGO. For us there aro thiee insurmountable objections to annexation: 1. hy seek an outpost which incase of war is only weakness? Honor and interest would concentrate all our navy there to protect our flag against foreign attack, and it would be the first point attacked. This expense and danger alone outweighs all the fancied advantage ofSamana Bay to us in peace. '2. The shrewdest men in Washington are puwtled now to know how to reach the difficulties in the Oulf States—the angrv and rebel element which makes a tool of tho fancied conflictl»f races. 1 we cannot govern this belt of our continent, why double our troubles by an-* nexing more of the same angry* elements, with a sea between us aud them to add to the difticnlty? 3. When we annex the eastern half of Santo Domingo, we annex a war with Ilayti. There is hardly a shadow of possibility that (Ua can be avoided. What war with llaytAn swords and climate means, the First Napoleon can tell os. He sent there his brotber-in-laW, with t»,000 men, the ftewer of his victorious army. Only 7,000 ever saw France again. The same hate and thf" same August await us. If "indiai) rings" have created and prolonged Indian wars with heartless greed for gold, where would Haytien wars be ever al lowed to end, ano such matchleas officers and enrich we could bay two Cabas with the coit of one year of soch warfare.

I

I had the toothacho yesterday. That infernal little hollow tooth of niino held a bushel of ache. It ached clean down totfto toes of my boots it was a regular O. K. ache, too! My face swelled ao mufh that my most familiar creditor didfl't know 1110. You wouldn't have wut|ted very much of my jaw. Every titud the tooth thumped, lifted me clear oft the chair. I realy thought I should go crazy—you probably think my fare wouldn't have cost mo much— I begged for a revolver to end my momentous moments.

I remembered of a quart bottle of strychine in the bouse. I got it and drank it all didn't even take tho cork out—I sucked it in—and prepared to die. But suddenly I discovered the label "Old liyo" on it. The label played the mischief with my intentions.* If it hadn't boen for that label!

I laid it on the floor, rooled over, and immediately got up. A good many peoplo who are depending on me for various sums—hearing of my danger, or their danger—came in to tell me what they didn't kuow was good for the toothache, but begged mo to do some something as they were sure I was not prepared to go yet.

The ladies sypathized with me. One said she had not had tho toothacho for many years but she hadn't a tooth in her head. One old maid declared she had it in her two front teeth very badly only tho day before but I know privately that they are false. All the while my tooth, with the spirit of a hundred aches, was beating time to the music of Fisher's Hornpipe. I snatched the tongs and ran up stairs, and worked for fifteen minutes to pull the infernal tooth, but it wouldn't budge an inch.

I had a notion to go to the dentist, but then I got afraid ho might pull it. It means business to go there. But I started three or four times, hoping it would stop before I got to our gate— which it didn't. Finally, I crammed my hat over mv eyes, took my faoa in both hands, and started.

I was crazier than I ever was in my life, and that is saying a good deal. I met a fellow I owed, and paid him five dollars. I was out of my hettd.

I neared the dentist's door. I nerved myself tip—so did the tooth —and then, with a heroism worthy of a bettar cause, went past, and around home again. I thought of the ri.ver then I thought of the young lady who had mistaken me for a single man, and thc'i went back to the dentist's room. .Shut my eyes and went in.

I asked him what he'd give me to let him pull the tooth. He said laughinggas. I told him it was no laughing matter, and I didn't want any of his gas. Ho told me to sit down and enjovmyself, and he'd pull it anyhow. I ic/gn to pull easy on it and he yc "n©ts on it. Then I asked

,f*.©ts

on

Rut the tooth was well out. It was the first tiinp in his life he had ever made the mistake of pulling the right tooth tho first trial. Yes, there on the tablo lay my little tooth, still aching away! It was true to its instincts. When the dentist asked me for his ply, I told him to charge it. I was sure I had got in my right mind then.

My face has gone down again, but I flatter myself I have still enough left to do business on.

M. JULIAN AND THE SIXTEENTH AMENDMENT. 'the friends of Woman Suffrage serenaded their congenial friends at the close of the Forty-first Congress, and several pleasant responses wore made. This is what Hon. Oeo. W. Julian of t^iis State, said:

I thank you, Mr. Hooker, ancLthe committee you reprosent, four Jwur words of cordial approbation. Soon a testimony will go far to redeem the ordinary drudgery and dreariness ofpublic life, and I shall ever cherish It with real satisfaction and pride. I ought to say however, that in performing the acts so handsomely commended by you I did nothing but my simple duty. Indeed constituted as I am. jind believing as I do, it was morally impossible forme to do otherwise.

of the male citizens of our country, irrespective of color or races, it woold have been grossly inconsistent in #e not to say recreant and mean, to shwk from the duties for which you compliment me when invited to their performance. ,,

Tou are pleased to express tho hope that some of tho retiring members of the Forty-First Congress may hereafter be returned to the places they have filled. For myself, I am weary of tnte service in which I have toiled for so manv years, and I weloome a season of rest,"or fct least a change of labor.

From Hull nearly up to Flainborough, the coast is like a bank composed ot sand, pebbles, etc. and village aiter village has been silently swept away. According to Prof. Phillips, this waste has been calculated as going on at a rate of about "two and a half yards in a year, which upon the the thirty-six miles of coast would amount to thirty acres, sitae mile In breadth has been lost sinM Ae Norman conquest, and two mileV since the Romans occupied Eburacum."

M4RRIA (I E A XT) DISPLA Y. There is much talk about young men not marryinK because it brings financial embarrassment with it, and entails more than enough misery to counteract the brief happiness. It is not marriage which causes linancial embarrassment but the tomfoolery which accompanies it. Men aro not'content to start as their fathers did, or rather their incomes warrant, and as for th« women— well, far bo it from us to attempt their definition. Expensive suits of rooms, tawdry finery, flashy dress a great dead of paint and putty are made to take tho

ftlace

ot a modest home and such genuno comforts as a very little money will secure. Women dress, not for thoir own conveniences, nor to please their husbands but rattier to spite Mrs. Jones or tosettle Mrs. Jenkins. Men 011 small salaries spend money for billiards, cigars, and liquors, arid fail to get their lives insured because they can't afford it. Women wear thin drawers and no flannels, so that their peacock's feather may have a larger switch, or tho hump on their back may camelize a little more ridiculously. The remark of the old Quaker is apropos. A lady with a short-sleoved ana low-necked dress, and decorated with an abundanco of jewelry, complained, in his presenco, of feeling cold, when ho ventured tho remark, "Ah, madam! tlieo should put on another necklace and some moro bracelets." Sham, and not marriage, is what's the matter. Young peoplo can very well aflbrd to marry long before thev can afford to spluge." By all means let ihe young people marry if they can find any one loving and congenial and let tlio husband give up his choap and nasty drink, his tobacco and billiards, while tho wife puts011 her apron and ki ndl condescends to do something for herself, leaving Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Jenkins to indulgo in as much folly aa... they please*

MARRIAOK.—Marriage says Jeremy Taylor—has in it lessorneauty,but more safety than single life it has more ease, but less danger it is merry and more sad it is fuller ofeorrows and fuller of Joys it lies nnder more burdens, it is supported by all the strenjgth of love and charity, and thoso burdens are dolightfal. Marriage is tbe the mother of the world, and preserves kingdoms, and fills cities uid churches ana heaven Itself. Celibacy, like the fly In the heart ot an apple, (Urells in perpetual sweetness but sits alone, and is confined and dies in singularity: but marriage, like the nseftil nee, bnllds a house and gathers sweetness from every flower, and labors and unites into societies and re-

rabiics and sends out colonies snd tbe world with delicacies, and obeys their king, and keeps order, snd exercises many virtues, and promotes tbe interest of mankind, and is that state of good to which God bath designed tbe present constitution of tbe world.

Let young men remomherttiat tfioir chief happiness in life dopends upon their faith in women.
