'Well, I'm sure it isn't hard to tell; It goes for rent and water rates, For bread and butter, coal and gratos, Hats, caps and carpets, hoops and hose And that's the way the money goes. How goes the money? Nay, Don't everybody know the way! It goes for bonnets, coats and capes, Silka, satins, muslins, velvet, crapes; Fliawls, ribbons, furs and furbelows And that's the way the money goes 1 How goes the money? Sure I wish the ways were somewhat fewer ! It goes for wages, taxes, debts, It goes for presents, goes for bets, For painU, pomade and au-du-rose And that's the way the mouey goes I How goes the money? Now, I've scarce began to mention bow; It goes for laces, feathers, rings, Toys, dolls, and other baby things, Whips, whistles, candies, bells and bows, And that's the way the money goes! How goes the money? There, I'm out of patience, I declare; It goes fur plays and diamond pins, ' For public aims and private sins, For hollow sbaffi and silly shows That's the way the money goes.

Yon raise yoor cmio to hit him on His ugly looking miig; JJut ere you get it half-way up, Adownhcgocs kekchuo. Hniuility and Holiness. Humility and purity crown the heart bt man, as stars tho brow of night To be humble and pure is to be great. Who can contemplate in imagination's grandest flight the wonders of docp illimitable, sun-girt space, as it stretches on ungrasped forever, and not bow down iu tho dust before Him who presides over creations 60 vast and sublime! Who can look around upon the delicate, tho sweet And the lovely without aspirations tor purity and holiness! The liberties of our people; our hippy homes and firesides; our endeared social relations; the triumphs of Bin h occasions as this; yea, the very edifice in which we stand holding tit its sun-ward base tho oracles cf tho living God, placed there by the grct and good, rise-np with solemn atd resistless eloquence t plead fur the pri.ieij 5.H underlying tho iilgli-6st interests and glory of mm.

Shadows future more nine pound babies, more hive syrup, &c., &o. I'll just tell you how I got caught. "I was always the darndest, most tea-custard, bashful fellow you ever did see. It was kinder in my line to be taken with the shakes every time saw a pretty gal approaching me, and I'd cross the street at any time rather than face one ; 'twasu't because I didn't like the critters, for when I was behind a Tence looking through a knot hole I could not look at one long enough." " Well, my sister Lib. gave a party one night, and I stayed away from home because I was too bashful to face tho musie. I hung around the house whistling ' Old Dan Tucker,' dancing to keep my feet warm, watching the heads bobbing up and down behind the window curtains nnd wishing the tbuuderiu' party would break un so I could cct to my room. I smoked up a bunch of cigars and as it was getting late and mighty uncomfortable, I conclud ed to climb up ou the door post. o soon er said than done, I soon found myself in bed. ' Now,' said I to myself ' let her rip' dance until your wind gives out; and eudling under the quilts, Morpheus grabbled me. I was dreaming of soft shelled crabs aud stewed tripe, and was having a ood time when couiebody knocked at my door and waked me up. ' Itap,' again I laid low. ' Kap, rap, rap.' Then I heard a w hispering, and I knew there was a w hole raft of girls outside. Rap, rap, rap, then Lib sings out, " Jim, are you in there ?' "Yes;" and then came a roar of laughter."Let us in." says she. " I won't," says I " can't you let a fellow alone?" "Are you abed?" "I am." "Get up." " I won't" Then came another laugh. By thunder I began to get riled. "Get out, you pet-ticoated scarecrows," I cried, "can't you got a beau without hauling a fellow out of tad ? I won't go home with you. I won't so you may clear out; and sending a boot at the door I felt better, but presently, oh, mortal buttons! I beard a low clear voice very much like sister Lib's and it said "Jim, you'll have to get up, for all the girls' things' are in there." "Oh, what a pickle! Think of me all covered over with shawls, muffs, cloaks, bonnets, and twenty girls outsido waiting to get in ! If I had stopped to think I should have wilted on the spot, as it was I rolled out ociong the bonnet wire and ribbons in a hurry. Smash went the millinery iu all directions. I had to dress in the dark for there was a crack in the door and girls will peep and tho way I jumped about was death on -straw hats. The critical moment came. After running my hands all over my clothes to see that every thing was all right and tight, I opened the door and found myself right among the women. " Oh, my leghorn !" cries one. "My dear winter velvet!'' cries another.And they pitched in they pulled me this way and that, boxed my ears, and one bright eyed little piece Mary S. lier name was, put her arms around my neck and kissed me right on my lips. Human nature couldn't stand that, and I gave her as good as she sent It was tho first time I ever got a tasto, and it was powerful good. I believe I could have kissed that .girl from Julius Cawar to tho Fourth of J uly. 1 " Jim," says she, " We are sorry to disturb you, but won't you see nic home?" " Yes, I will, and I did do it, and got another smack at tho gate, too. After that we took a kind of turlle-dorciu' after each other, both of us signing like a barrel of new eider when we were away from each other. " 'Twas at the close of n glorious sum mer i"ny the sun was just setting behind a distant pis lion the chickens wcro go- ing to roost, the frogs wcro commencing to ' sing their evening songs the pollywogs ! in their tiativo puddles wore preparing themselves for night and Mary and my-, self sat upon an antiquated black log,lii-t-j ening to the music of nature such as tree 'toads, roosters, and grunting pigs, and : now and then the mellow music of a dis- ! taut jackass was wafted to our ears by tho (gentle zephyrs that sighed along the mill- j Ion stocks, and come heavily laden with the delicious odor of hen roosts and pig i sties. The last glittering rays of the set ! till'' suu "lancmjr oil the brass buttons ol a solitary horseman, shone thiough a knot hole in the hog pen full into Mary's face, dying her hair with 'in orange peel hue ami showing off my thread bare coat to a bad advantage ono of my arms was around her waist, my hand resting on the small of her back she was toying with my auburn locks of jet black hue sho was almost gone and I was ditto she looked like n grasshopper dying with the hickups. I felt like a mud turtle- choked with a cod fish ball. Mary, says I in a voice musical as a dying swan, will you have me? She turned her eyes heavenward, clasped me by the hand, had an attack of the blind staggers, and, with a sigh that drew her shoe strings to her palate, said "Yes!" " She gave clear out and squatted in my lap she cork-screwed and I curflumiied aud rolled in it. I hugged till I broke my suspenders and her breath smelt of onions she ate the week before. Well, to make a long story short, sho set the day and we practiced every night for four weeks how we would walk into the room to get worried, till we got so wc could waft as gracefully as a couple of muscovio ducks. Tho night, the company and the minister came, the signal was given, arm in arm wc marched through the crowded hall. We were just entering the pnrlor door when dowu I went kerslap ou the oil cloth, pulling Mary after me. Some cursed fellow had dropped a banana skin on the floor aud it floored me. It split an awful hole in my cashmere right under my dress coat tail. It was too late to back out, so clappinguvy hand over it we marched in and were spliced. Taking a seat, I watched the kissing of the bride operation. My grooms-man was tight, and he kissed her till I jumped up to tike a slice, when oh horror! a little six year old imp had crawled behind me, aud pulled my shirt through the hole in my pants and pinned it to the chair, and in jumping up I displayed to the admiring gaze of the astonished multitude a trifle more white muslin than was pleasant. The women giggled, the mcu roared, and I got mud, but was finally put to bed, and here I must stop, as my modesty forbids my pursuing the subject any farther. Debt ofthe Self-Despairing. If the pressure of pecuniary debt can rob men of their sleep, embitter their enjoyments, mar their peace, aud make little a burden, what would bo the issue if the vast account-books between us and God should be completely opened aud made fully legible?If yoii are fully and thouroughly persuaded that you must and cannot pay this awful debt, you may behold, as tho acient persecutor saw amidst tho white heat of his own devouring furnace, a form like that of the Son of God, standing erect beside the way which leads you to the throne of mercy. You must pass by him, or you cannot reach tho footstool. Who is ho that thus awaita you? His eye moist with pity, bat his features pallid as ono risen from the dead. And in his outstretched hand the eye of faith can discern something shining, something priceless; not the glare of gold or silver, or the sparkle of invaluable gems, but something wet with tears and stained with blood. And the'bloed still oozes from that stricken heart. It is tho purchase of our life; it is the ransom of our oul; it is the price which you oould never Tay,' which men and angels could not have paid for yoa; in default of which, you had resigned your self to perish. See, lie holds it out; he presses it upon you; and the turning point is, can you reject it? If you can, O lot your lips be scaled Torcver from all mention of the penalty of God's law, as deterring you from mcrfy; for as you plunge iuto tho Gulf of self destruction, fhe sound from above that reaches you aaay be the dripping of that blood, one touch of which would have sufficed to cancel your Tast debt forever. "This snofr-stofm the boys regard as a joke, mid one to Dr. S 'during n late storm. "Yes" cepKcd the doctor' "and it is a joke that any one can see the drift of.". Good Xaturei If there bo ouo thing for which n man should bo moro grateful than another it is the possession of good nature. I do not consider him good tempered who 1ms im temper at all. A man ought to'have a spirit, strong, earnest, and capable of great indignation. We like to hear a mini tliun-iler, once in a while, if it is genuine, and in the right way fur a right man. When a noble fellow is brought into contact with mean and little ways, and is tempted by unscrupulous natures to do unworthy things; or when a great and generous heart perceives the wrong done by lordly strength toslirinking.unprotested weakness; or when a man pees tho foul mischief that s')inc. times rise and cover the public welfares like a thick cloud of poisonous vapors we liko to hear a man express himself with outbursts and glorious anger. It makes us feel safer to know that there are such men. Wo rospect human nature all the more to know that it is capablo of such feelings. But just theso men are best capable of good nature. There are the men upon whom a sweet justice in common things, and a forbearance towards men in all tho details of life, and a placable, patient and cheerful mind, sit with peculiar grace. Some men are helped to do this by a kind of bravery born with them. Some men are good natured because they arc benevolent aud always feel in a sunny mood; some, because they have such vigor and robust health, that care flics off from them, and they really cannot fuel nettled aud worried; somo because sense of f"iractcr keeps them from an ove-w of what may bo called in r-'' animal spirits, and in part, atso, hopeful and cheerful dispositions. But whatever be the cause or reason, is there anything else that so much blesses a man in human life as this voluntary or involuntary good nature? Is there anything else that converts things so much into engagement to him? And then what a glow and light he carries with him to others ! Sonic men come upon you liko a cloud passing over the sun. You do not know what, ails you, but you feel cold and chilly while they are about, and need an extra handful of coals on tho fire whenever they tarry long-. . Others rise Vipoli you like daylight. How many times does a cheerful and hopeful physician cure his patient by what he has in bis medical case! How often docs tho coming of a happy hearted friend lift you out of a deep despondency, and before you are aware, inspire you with hope and cheer. What a gift it is to make all faen better and happier without knowing it! Wc d on't suppose that flowers know how sweet they are. We have watched them. But as far as we can find out their thoughts, flowers arc just as modest as they are beautiful. These roses before me, sa'fotarc, lamor- que aud saffaron, with their geranium leaves, (rose,) and carnations andabutilon, have made me happy for a day. Yet they stand huddled together in my picture without seeming to know my thoughts of them, or the gracious worth which they are doing! And how much more is it to have a disposition that carries with It, involuntarily, sweetness, calmness, courage, hope and happiness, to all who are such? Yet this is tho portion of goodnature in real, large-minded, strnng-natured man! When it has made him "happy it has scarce ly begun its office! In this world there is so much rcul sorrow, and so much uuncccssary grief of fret and worry; because burdens arc so heavy, aud the way so long; where men stumble in rough paths, and so many push them down rather than help theni up; where tears are as common as smiles nnd the hearts ache so easily, but are poorly fed on higher joys, how grateful ought we to bt that God sends along here and there, a natural heart-stringer a man whose nature is largo and lumious, nd who, by his very carriage and spontaneous action, calms, cheers, and helps his fellows. God helps tho good naturd, for they bless everybody else! A IlcalUiful Condition. Practical Christianity brooks not restraint. The word of God must not bo bound. It pines away in inaction It wants the mountain track and mountain breoze to give it health and vigor. No better antidote to its cor ruption of doctrine, do better preserve ative of it brotherly love could have been discovered, then in the hearty and resolute discharge of the responsi bility committed to it of any, of all, the most sublime 4he moral conquest of the world, tho present and everlasting ealvation of mankind. Value the friendship of him who stands by you in the storm; swarms of inacats will surround you in the sunshino. Advice to Housewives. Britannia should be first rubbed gently with it woolen cloth nnd sweet oil; then washed in warm suds, and rubbed with soft leather and whiting. Thus treated, it will retrain its beauty to the las'. New iron should be very gradually heated at first; after it has become inured to the heat it is not likely to crack. It is a good plan to put new earthern-ware into cold water, nnd let it heat gradually until it boils then cool again. Brown carthcrn-warc particularly, may be toughened iu this way. A handful of rye or wheat bran thrown in while It is boiling, will preserve tho glazing so that it will not be destroyed by acid or salt. Clean a brass kettle before using it for cooking, with salt uud vinegar. The oftcner carpets arc shaken the longer they will wear; the dirt that collects uif1 dor them grinds out the threads. If you wish to preserve fine teeth, always clean them thoroughly after you have eaten your last meal at night. Woolen should be washed iu very hot suds, and not rinsed. Luke-warm water shrinks them. IKi not wrap knives and forks in woolens. Wrap them in good strong paper. Steel is injured by laying in woolens. Suet keeps good all the year round if chopped and packed down iu a sMie jar and covered with molasses. Barley straw is the best for beds; dry corn husks sb 'nto shreds are better than straw When molasses is used in cooking, it is a prodigious improvement to boil and skim it Ixiforc you use it. It takes ont the unpleasant, raw taste, and makes it almost as good as sugar. Where molasses is used much for cooking, it is well lo prepare one or two gallons iu this way at a time. Never allow ashes to be taken up in wood, or put iuto wood. Always have your matches and lamp ready for use iu case of sudden alarm. Have important papers all together, where you can lay your hand on them at once in case of fire. Use hard soap to wash your clothes, and soft to wash your floors. Soft soap is so slippery that it wastes a good deal iu wash, ing elotlics. It is easy to have a supply of horse-radish all winter. Have a quantity grated while tho root is in perfection, put it in bottles, H it with vinegar, aud keep it corked tight Mrs. Jane Swlsshclm on McCMlan. Mrs. Jane Swisshelm it in Washington, where she went to sec the "Great Father" in relation to Indian matters. Writing back to one of the papers, she says: "In my travels thus far, I find that every man who is opposed to the war is in favor of having General McClcllan conduct it that those who wish to settle our little difficulties by altering or annulling the Constitution as the South may desire, turning Xew England out of the Union, and suppressing all discussion of tho slavery question, except on the pro-side,rc-cnslav-ing all those who have been freed, aHd annulling all barriers to tho unlimited spread of the institution aTc all furiously indignaut at McClellan's removal, and demand his restoration. If anything could prove the terrible peril our country was iu during his rrghnc, t&is would be abundant evidence. Has ho escaped that peril? is the question, ot wonld he have as effectually served tho Confederate Government had hcsoircndorcdjur whole army before Richmond? I thiuk not, for in that case the matter would have been dropped, ad the lover of his country wonld have been deceived. As it now is, he distracts and divides honest men; and if our Ship of State go down, ho will be the rock upon which she split." The following rich joke is related of the eccentric Lord Fairfax, who was a Swe-denborglvn: He was once crossing the Potomac, ut Alexandria, in a ferry host., and duringhis passage "the ferryman heard him muttering to himself and talking with tho air ef one who was carrying on a conversation with others ; curiosity prompted the man to ask an explanation of lis singular proceedings; whereupon Lord Fairfax, with great politeness and sincerilr, replid that he was " conversing -with I'eter and Paul." Upon reaching the bank, he of-fored the ferryman the amount demanded of a single patsengcr, but the worthy demurred. As Peter and Paul had been in the boat, he said it was no more than right thathis Lordship should pay for his friends, inasmuch as circumstances didn't permit him, theTerrynian, to demand of those gentlemen what they owed him. To this facetious view Tan-fax readily assented; no doubt it pleased his cxontric taste, of which a species of grim humor was a marked characteristic. lie paid for J'cU;r and Paul Eis friends Proscription of Gen.

In relation to this the I'luttsburgh Republican s:iys; It may bo that General Butler lias been led astray not only by the expe- rience lie lias had ofthe nature of the institution, but also by the doctrilies of some of the former members of the Democratic party One Thomas Jefferson (who was subsequently a leading i)eiiiocral) said, before tho declaration of independence, 'The abolition of domestic slavery is the greatest object of desire in these colonics.' This man Jcfler-: son published various ether sonti-j ments of un incendiary character j which were sufiicient to brand him an : abolitionist; and, worse blill, u nuh- cal abolitionist James Madison declared that 'where slavery exists tho Republican theory (of Government) becomes fallacious.' lie was not a bit better than an Abolitionist.James Monroe said, '"We have found that this evil has preyed upon the very vitals of the Union, and has boon prejudicial to all the states in which it lias existed.' TIicbo words are so like those of General Rutler, and tho sentiment identical, that we should not wonder if Butler had stolen the idea from Mr. Monroe and bad the meanness to present it in his address to the people of New Orleans, as a thought of his own. But James Monroe was, evidently, an abolitionist. Such men as Jefferson and Madison and Monroe, if alive now, would find no fellowship in the Demecratic party. Their democracy was not the kind which adores slavery as tho perfectino of human civilization, and the corner stone of a Republican Government. Who complains of General Butler's 'tyranny?' Not tile thousands cf poor Americans; and Englishmen, and Frenchmen, in New Orleans, who were furnished with food to save them from starvation; not the loyal and re spectable citizens who saw their city delivered from the rule of rowdyis.ii, and, through the sanitary measures adopted by Butler, protected from the visitation of their annniil epidemic; not tho faithful friends of the Union vho boldly fought Secession and Rebellion from the beginning. But the 'thugs' and cut-throats of New Orleans; tho rebels ol high and low degree; the resident foreigners who sympathized with, and aided the rebellion; Jeff Davis aud tho Con federate Congress these all unite with tho editor of the Plattsburgh Repupli-can iu cursing Gen. Butler for his tyranny."Xo regno e'er folt the halter draw," ie. The fact is that Gen. Butler's great offence 'consists in this: that he has done more than any other man to crush tho rebellion and re-establish the supremacy ofthe constitution and laws cf the United States. For this, Jeff Davis would hang him; and for this, certain mon in the North heap their impotent curses upon his head. An Iron Egg. In Presden there is an iron egg, the history of which is something like this: A young prince sont this epg to a lady "to whom he was betrothed, f he reoeived it in her hand and looked at it with dis dain.

I learned grammar when I was e private soldier, on tic pay of sixpence a day. The edge of my berth, or that of my guard-bed, was my seat to study in; n.y knapsack, my bookcase, and & bit of board lying on my lap was my writing table. I had no money to purchase a candle or oil; in winter it was rarely that I could get fi'ny light bnt that of the fire, and only my turn of that. To buy a peri or piece of paper, I was compelled to forego somo portion ot my food, though in a stato of half starvation. I had tot n moment of time thr.t i could call my own; and I Lad to read and writo amid the talking, laughing, 6inging,. whistling and bawling ot at least half a score of the most tlionghtless men and that, too, in their hours of freedom from all control.' And 1 say if I under those circumstances, could encounter and overcome tho task, is there, can there be in the whole world a youth who can find aa excuso for the uon-performance? Collell. Trust Hod. Let no rr'an trust, to the gentleness,' the generosity or the seeming goodness of his heart, in the hope that they alone can safely bear hira through the temptations of this world. . This ic aetatecf perilous passage to the tmo beginning of lifts, where even tho best natures need continually to be reminded of the.r weakness and to find their only security iu steadily referring all their thoughts, acts gTtd affections to tho nltimatc end of their being; yet where, imperfect as we are, there iai no obstacle too mighty, no temptation too' errong to the truly hutrible in heart, who, distrusting themselves, seek to be sustained only by that holy Being who is life and power, and who, in his love and mercy, has promised to give to those that asi." It is a dear delight for th soul to hav trust, in. tbs faith of another. It makes a pillow of softioss for the cheek which U burning-tti& rears and iocoh' of pain. It Jg an undeferrad seclusion into hioh flia niind, when weary of sadaeis, may retreat faith.' 77 rr rr
