The only thing that seems to deiy death and decay, that resists the ruthless hand of time, that has quaffed of the fountain of perpetual youth, that never becomes a chestnut is "Uncle Tom’s Cabin" Kingdoms and Empires may fade, Republics may wither and decay, generatinns of men be born and die; time in its eternal and resistless flight may blut tribes and nations from the face of the earth, but Uncle Tom and Eva, and Topsy and Marks, and the rest of them go on forever. The wandering Jew on his endless pilgrimage. The Flying Dutchman on his perpetual cruise are the analogues of Uncle Tom’s Cabin.

The officials of the Lake Erie A Western railroad have decreed that none of their employes shall be permitted to flirt, and the men are not even allowed to assist la die* on aud off the trains. Ail this came about just because a love-lorn conductor, who had got acquainted with his sweetheart in a romantic manner, made a mistake in supposing ho was embracing the pride of bis heart and hugged the wife of a high official of the road. The conductor was expecting his belle to meet him at the train and it was dark, and how could he be to blame? If the two women look alike—why, that wasn't his fault. And then, just as if the husband had been injured or his wife's feelings hurt, the officers issued that cruel decree, which says: “The management of this railroad demand thatflrting by its employes be stopped at once, unde r pain of instant dismissal:” He Weaken*. The Goshen News says: “As the time for his trial approaches, Bem Scott, who is in jail charged with the murder of Con Crowley, seems to grow more uneasy, and that he is suffering mental distress is plainly depicted on his countenance.
