The Truth.
You watch your neighbor's actions,
More than you do your own,
You cannot, or you will not,
Let his affairs alone ;
In short, your neighbor's business,
Which none concernoth you,
You meddle with, till yours
Is clearly out of view.
It is the unvarnished truth—
You know it is the truth 1
You see your neighbor's failings,
But do not see your own,
And think that you are worthy
To cast at him the stone j
When, if you'd wipe your mirror,
Till you yourself could sec,
You'd find you're just as erring
And full of iault as he..
It is the unvarnished truth—>
You know it is the truth !
The way you .judge a person
Is by the cloth lie wears—
You do not stop to notice
The inward heart he bears ;
If liis dress is growing seedy,
Or ragged, old, and torn,
You pass him by unnoticed,
Or look at him in scorn.
It is the unvarnished truth-
Yon know it is the truth I
But if he has One garments,
And wears a golden chain,
You hesitate no longer
That person to ordain
A gentleman : you praise him—
You laud him to the skies,
No matter, if he dresses,
If he isn't good and wise.
It is the unvarnished truth—
You know it is the truth !
Yon feel yourself above those
Not quite so rich us you,
Too proud and vain to speak with
Tiie man whose dimes are few 1   ■
Well, do ao, if wise to—
But in Heaven, beyond the sky,
Ye proud ones shall be humbled,
Aud the lowly ones made high I
It is the unvarnished troth —
I've told you but the truth I
The Remains or Madison.—In digging for a
foundation for a monument recently erected over
the grave of President Madison, the coffin was exposed to view. The appearance of the remains
are thus described by a Richmond paper:—The
hoard placed above the coffin had decayed, but no
earth had fallen in upon it, and everything appeared to be as when the coffin was deposited
there, except that the coffin !id was slightly out
of place, allowing a partial view of the interior_
As there was no fastening to prevent, the part of
the lid covering the superior portion of the body
was raised, and several gentlemen present looked
In upon the remains of the great Virginian. The
coffin itself, of black walnut, was in perfect preservation, and the interior was nearly filled with a
species of moss which adhered, pertinaciously to
the wood. Beneath this, and partially hidden by
it, were a few of the largest and barest bones.
The lower jaw had fallen away, the bones of the
breast and ribs were gone, and the only parts of
the skeleton which remained were the skull and
portions of the cheek bones, the vertebrsc of the
neck, the spine and the largest bones of the arms.
AU else of the upper portion of the body had returned to the dust from whence it was taken, aud
in a few years more every trace of the body will
disappear, until the trump of the resurrection
shall unite the scattered particles. The body had
been interred just twenty-one years.

Aaron Burr*
No character connected with our history has
been so uncharitably treated as that of Aaron
Burr, It is not our nrovinee to constitute ourselves champions in defence of his name, we merely instance him to show how prone ihe world is
to take the darkest side of character ; how selfish
and uncharitable it is in estimating flic same.
Aaron Burr is admitted to have been a great man
by his foes. Tie took a prominent part in the revolutionary wai-, distinguishing himself as a soldier, became an able jurist, and was chosen Vice-
President of the United States. That he was ambitious, unscrupulously so, is beyond a doubt, but
what politician was not so then, and is not so
uow? But his ambition is constituted a crime
because he was placed in antagonism with Wash-
Dgton ; because, by acute sagacity and labor, he
uCceeded in defeating the great political parly of
his early days, and placing Thomas Jefferson in
the Presidential chair, founding the great democratic party of the present day. When he could
not succeed in elevating himself still further, he
undertook the formation of another empire out of
the south-west couutry, then not in our possesion, with a foresight which the growth of our
Union haB since almost magnified into a prophecy.
The scheme failed, and it was deemed treason. He
was arrested, tried and acquitted, yet the damning name of traitor was ruthlessly branded on
him. Since his day we have accomplished the
plan he originally designed; since his day we
have witnessed the forays of filibusters, yet they
are not stigmatized as traitors ; for the people of
our own day, it seems we have a little charity, for
those of the past, none. Wbat is not considered
criminal uow in a politician, a demagogue or a
filibuster, makes a traitor of Aaron Burr. Mr.
Paiton's biography, gives the world Burr as he
was—" as a brave soldier, and, carrying his soldiership into politics, an adroit manager, a shrewd
and audacious advocate, a polite and dignified ci-
lian, with the good sense of silence, and an iu-
ncible hilarity, arising quite a much from lightness of temperament as from the discipline of
self-restraint."
Burr, however, is being punished hy the selfish-
less ofthe world for his own self-manifest love(
yet he did nothing as a puhlic man that thousands
are at this day willing to do for self-advancement.
His duel with Hamilton was a crime, such as
many other great men have since been guilty of,
but in their several biographies they arc set dowu
as lamentable occurrences. He was a voluptuary,
but not more so than ten of thousands who raise
their voices against him. His sins come before
the publie prominently—the sins of. the puhlic,
equally as monstrous, are hid in obscurity. As a
parent, his affection concentrated in his daughter,
whom he confided in as a father ouly will in a
son. Was it criminal on his part to instruct her
in worldly experience, and when she became a
wife to entrust to her hia thoughts and actions?
If the daughters of the present day were carefully instructed by their parents ofthe snares and
wiles besetting their worldly career, we should
have more virtuous wives and maidens. Aaron
Burr's character has never been held up as a model and never should be, but there is as much to
admire therein as to blame. The history of the
revolution, of the early days of the Republic, the
wranglings and bickerings of rival generals, the
jealousies of rival politicians, the enemies and en.
unties of Washington, is yet to be written. Wbo
mere is capable now to do justice to such subjects
it would be difficult to name. Time, however,
will produce an intellect so nicely balanced as to
draw from the past and present an unbiassed record. A little research will soon bring tbe necessary documents to light, but the age is not ripe
for such developments.—S. F. Spirit of Times.
Early Maeriei..—She stood beside the altar
when she was but sixteen. She was in love; he:
destiny rested on a creature as delicate, and who
had known as little ofthe world as herself. She
looked lovely as she pronounced the vow. Think
or a voiv from auburn hair, and pouting lips only
sixteen years old. She stood by the wash tub
when ber twenty-fifth birth day had arrived. The
hair, the lips, the eyes were not calculated to excite the heart. Five cross young ones were about
the house crying—some breaking things, and one
urging the necessity of an immediate suppiy of
food. She stopped in despair, sat down, and
tears trickled down her once plump and ruddy
cheek. Alas i early marriages aro not the dodge.
Better enjoy youth at home, and hold lovers at a
proper distance until you have muscle, limb, and
heart enough to face a frowning world and family. If a chap really cares for you he can wait
two or three years, make presents, take yon to
concerts, and so on uutil the time comes. Early
marriages aud early cabbages are tender productions.
Pathetic Appeal a la Gen. Moreis.—Marshal,
spare that dog, touch not a single hair ; he worries many a hog from out his muddy lair. 0,
when he was a pup, so frisky and so plump, he
lapped his milk from a cup, when hungry—at a
jump. And then his funny tricks, so funny in
their place, so full of canine licks, upon your
hands and face. You will surely let him live!
Oh ! do not kill him dead, he wags his narrative ;
and prays for life—not dead. Go, get the muzzle
now and put upon his mouth, aud stop that bowwow-wow 1 and tendency to drouth. He is our
children's pet, companion of their joy ; you will
not kill him yet. and thus their hopes destroy.
No, Marshal, spare that pup. touch uot a single
hair. O, put your "pistil" up, and go away
from there.
Transplanting.—A young lover having obtained the consent of his beloved, undertook to
gain that of her father. To that end he began by
asking his consent lo " transfer the lovely flower
from the parent bed to  ."   Hero he broke
down in his set speech, but managed to wind up
by saying "from the parent bed to—my own 1"
The old gent coolly took his pipe from his mouth,
and replied : " Well, young man. I don't know as
I have any objection, provided you marry the ga|
first!"
CiVil Liberty.—Milton, whose political refiec
tions are as distinguished for their wisdom as hia
poetry is for its great imaginotive power, speaking of true liberty says : " Thia is not the liberty
which we can hope, that no grievances should
ever arise in the commonwealth—that, let no man
in this world expect ; but when complaints are
freely heard, deeply considered, and speedily reformed, then is the utmost bound of civil liberty
attained that wise men look for.
Saudatu at all Times,—By the different nations, every day in the week is set apart for puhlic worship—Sunday, by the Christians ; Monday,
hy the Greeks; Tuesday by the Persians ; Wednes.
day by the Assyrians; Thursday, by Ihe Egyptians;
Friday by tlie Turks; and Saturday by the Jews.
Add to this the fact of the diurnal revolution of
the earth, giviug every variation of longitude a
different hour, and it becomes apparent that every
moment is Sunday somewhere.
The traditions of the Mexican nations uniformly
assert that the mound-builders of our western
world were all a people denominated Alleghans,
" who originally hunted south and west of the
Mississippi River." It is supposed that in the
eleventh century, before the overthrow of the Tol-
tec and tbc establishment of the Aztec empire in
Mexico, they removed northward and eastward!
iuto the valley of tbe Ohio, where they subsisted
about three hundred years."
Something about Pulu.—Pulu comes from the'
Sandwich Islands to the well known house of Mc-
Ruer & Meril ; it is exclusively imputed, con-*
sumed and wholesaled out here by Mr. Schreiber,-
179 Jackson street. It is obtained from a tree
growing about the height of our wild oak, ths'
pulu being contained within a berry opening
when ripe, like an ordinary cotton pod, orchesnut
bur. It ia of a light golden-brown color, of th«
softest fibre, not clotting or becoming lumpy by'
any amount of pressure or heat, as iu hair, wool,-
or Cotton. Each tree yields about twenty pounds-
weight of material. At Qrst hut little value was
attached to pulu, although the natives of the"
Sandwich Islands have made use of the article
from time immemorial. Sailors, however, ofthe
whaling fleet, have invariaLly recruited the interior of their bedding with this fibre on returning
to the Islands, finding nothing to suipass it in1
luxurious softness and entire freedom from in--
sects. At this time it sells from fifteen to twenty-
cents per pound—thirty pounds being deemed sufficient for an ordinary bed or mattress. ThiB'
wealthier classes in San Francffeeo and' Paris aro
causing almost a scarcity of the article ou the Islands—society in general there and elsewhere aro
beginning also more fully to appreciate tho enjoyment of this occidental luxury, which is not to
be wondered at, when it is knowu that the Em--
press Eugenie has long since discarded tho elder-
down bed, on which reposed the youthful heir t9'
the throne of France, for the comfort, softness,-
and more luxurious attractions of pulu.— Wide
West.
A Short Story ry Dickens.—Dickens tells the'
following, story of an American sea-ca]Hiiin :
" On his last voyage homo the caplaiu had on1
board a young lady of remarkable personal attractions—a phrase I use as one being entirely
new, and one you never meet with in newspapers.*
This young lady was intensely beloved by five*
young gentlemen passengers, and in return she
was in love with them all very ardently, but
without any particular preference for either. Not
knowing how to make up her determination in
thia dilemma, she consulted my friend the cap--
tain. The captain being a man of an original'
turn of mind, says to the young lady, " Jump1
overboard, aud marry the man that jumps after'
you." The young lady, struck with the idea, and
being naturally fond of bathing, especially in
warm weather, as it was took the advice of the
captain, who had a boat manned in case of accident. Accordingly, next morning, tne four loverra
being on deck, and looking devoutly at tho young
lady, she plunged iuto the sea, Four of the lovers
immediately jumped in after her. When the
young lady and her four lovers were got out
again, she says to the captain, " What am I to do'
with them now they are so wet?" Says the captain, " take the dry one!" And the young lady'
did, and married him."
 -Oh. «(>.!_.	
Dr. Franklin's Toast.—After the peace of 1783,-
Dr. Franklin dined witli the Ministers Plenipotentiary from countries in amity with the United1
States; after the cioth was removed, the soul of
sentiment and wit burst forth ; the British Minister toasted, "His Gracious Majesty, George the
Third, who, like the glorious luminary of the
earth, gives life and light to its borders." After'
whieh the French Minister gave ■' His Imperial
Majesty, Louis XVI., whose dignified yet placid
government, like the moon, enlightened one-half
the globe, and ruled the tides of its oceans."
Franklin then gave, "George Washington, first
in War, firat in Peace, and first in the hearts of
his countrymen ; who, like Joshua of old, commanded the snn and moon to stand still, and they
obeyed him."

(several Californians were there. C. B. Scott as
the Earl of Leicester and Mr Bridges as Charles'

Mrs. Gwin had

An old writer said that when cannons were introduced as negotiators, tlie canous of the church

The Crimean War—It is computed that in the
Crimean war the British army lost by the sword,
by disease and other contingencies of war, 111,-
313 men, and that 37,400 more were left invalids
for life. What will be the loss of human life in
India for five or ten years, commencing with the
outbreak of the mutiny there . The answer would
be a saddening exhibit of war's merciless thirst
for victims.
It is not high crimes such as robbery and murder, which destroy the peace of society. The village gossip, family jealousies, and bickerings between neighbors, nv.ddksoinenosa and tattling, are
the worms that eat into a-U social happiness.
During the session of a county court in the interior, a witness was asked if he was not a hua-
