The Portland town clock needs a light.

She spcuks to-night at Halsey; to-morrow at Brownsville; Sunday at Diamond Hill; Monday at Harrisburg. All who arc desirous of hearing the temperance question discussed ably and energetically should not fail to hear Mrs. Young. Her tucnic at tlio present is "tlie .Michigan temperance Law." "Massanicllo" is now being played at the Oro Fino Theater. The beautiful and elaborate scenery in this piece has never been equaled on the stage in this city. Tho closing scene the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius is alone worth tlie price of admfssion. The play is very Rood, but depends upon the scenery In a great measure for its success. Considerable outlay has been made to present this piece to the public, and it should be well patronized. Social Honor. Every person should cultivate a nice sense of honor. In a hundred different ways this most fit tine: adjunct to tlie true lady or irentle- man is often tried. For instance, one is the cuest of a family where, perhaps. the domestic machinery does not run smoothly.

Star. who visited aud interviewed the lunatics at Blackwcll's Island, reports a3 fol lows: "The chief cause of insanity I found to be intemperance. Six-eichths of tho 1,400 cases of insanity sprang from that cause alone. How long shall this crime cry aloud from the abodes of tlie poor. the infatuated aud the insane, for re dress? Absolute prohibition might in terfere with the personal liberties of a few. but it would save COO lunatics from Blackwell's Island every year." Water is Best. You can scarcely abuse water. The stomach likes it, and so does tlie skin. Reader! You may indulirc in this without fear. but. if you drink intoxicating liquor, you arc al ways in danger, aud arc 6etting a bad example to others. If you are wise, stick to the juice of the pump and the tlowings of the spring. These divine gifts are from the stores of Heaven; but beer, wine, and whisky, and all other in- loxicaungcompounus, are manufactured articles, tho invention of man, and sources of incalculable evil. Noble county, Ohio, witli a population of 20,000, is well worthy of the name it bears. There is not a silicon in the whole country, there Is notacasc on the criminal docket, and no person has been arrested for a year on a criminal charge. There were only five lawsuits last year, and if it hadn't been for a meddling lawyer, three of these would not have been recorded. Mrs. Margaret Brown is Engrossing Clerk of the Tennessee Senate, and with such signal ability does she perform her4 duties, that a resolution was recently offered in that body thanking her "for the intelligent industry! faultless accu racy and perfect neatness" displayed In her department.

"jra"-"i"Hbw Mark 'TwaS Introduces 'Himself to His Hearer. ladies and gentlemen : By re quest of the chairman of the committee. who has been very busy, and is very tired, I suppose, I ask leave to introduce to you tne lecturer of the evening, Mr. Clemens, otherwise Mark Twain, a gen tleman whose great learning, whose historical accuracy, whose devotion to science, and whose veneration for tlie truth laughter are only equaled by his moral character and his majestic pres ence. Renewed laughter. . I refer these vague general terms to my&elf. Giggling. 1 am a little opposed to the custom of ceremoniously introducing the lecturer to tlie audience, because it seems to me unnecessary where the man has been properly advertised, laughter, and besides It is very uncomtortaole for the lecturer. But where it is the custom an Introduction ought to be made and I had rather make it lnvself in mv own ca.Bt a,dthen I can rely on getting In all tlie facts. rContinued laiiirter.1 It is not a simple introduction that I mind. I don't really care for thatat all, but it is the compliments- that sometimes go with It that is what hurts. It would make any one uncomfortable.

The gentleman had a good head, and he said lie supposed I didn't want any compliments. And when he introduced mehesaid: "Ladles and gen tleman, I shall not waste any unneces sary timo in tlie introduction. I don't Know anything about this man, laugh ter!: at least I onlv know tu-n tlti about him; one is that he lias never been in the penitentiary and the other is I can't imagine why."

Ho repeats "ex actly" when there is no exactness, to speak of, and exclaims "certainly" when the matter iu hand is surrounded witli the greatest possible amount of uncer tainly. You open a conversation with him :is follows: "My dear sir, do yon reinomber " "Certainly," "When-" "I understand," "Yon" "Exactly; exactly, sir." Aud still the man hasn't tlie remotest idea what you arc driving at, or to what particular circumstances you desire to call his attention. Sometimes ho as sumes a very knowing look, and while exclaiming "I understand" in the most confident and positive manner, his countenance is as expressionless as a mud ball, or is alive with bewildering inquiry. . S.ycrkdness of Marriage. For the man and woman who purely and truly love each other, and guided by tho law of justice, marriage is not a stato of bondage. Indeed, it is only when they become by this outwanl acknowledge ment publicly avowed lovers, that free dom is realized by them in its full sig nificance. Thereafter they can be open ly devoted to each other's interests, and avoweuiy intimate ami cnoscn friends, Together thev can plan life's baltlf. nml bloom the virtues that make it a temple oi ucilCIlCCHCe. Austrian Women. Women in Aus tria perform the duties of bricklayers' laborers, and may be seen carrying liods of mortar and baskets of brick up high ladders. More than this, they actually supply the place of navvies, and. dig and wheel barrows of "ballast" almost as nimbly as their lords. They chop wood, they carry water, they otier to black your boots in the streets, and perform many other little olllces wlilch.according to our notions, hardly come under thede nomiuation of "woman's work." Per haps this state of things is considered necessary to keep a standing armv of 800.000 men. The women work inordin ately hard, while hundreds of Idle men are constantly sauntering about in va rious uniforms, doing nothing at all ex cept, perhaps, blowinga cloud of tobacco smoke.

California Tea-Plantation. At Colonel XV. V. Hollistcra I saw some thing I had never seen before. The Col oucl has a tea-plantation, in an evident ly nourishing condition; but, thouch the plants looked thriving, aud the planter believes mat, in tune, lie will reap an auumiaut Harvest, mis is a veil ture I should not advise many to em bark in for the present. Fortunately. Colonel Hollistcr lias both the means and me disposition to make these ex periments, of which the farming com munity of all California will some day reap the benefit. Shall I expose mv if. norance by confessing that I never be fore knew that there is really but one tea-plant? The dillerent varieties we buy are only the result of the different manipulations in preparing it for the market. The plants themselves look to me like little, younir orance-trees. r saw them from one to four inches in neignt, anu me seeds are about the size and shape of a small hazel-nut. To gether with the tea, the Colonel has im ported a "live Japanese," to take chnrra of the plantation; so that, if tea-raising succeeds at all, it certainly will here. His almond-orchard, too, is on a grander scale than that of his neighbors; fifty thousand trees have already been set out some of them, in fact, are over two years old and fifty thousand more are being planted. Speaking of his neigh bors, mey are not so very near. The Colonel has a hundred thousand acres, more or less, on which to plant tea, cot ton, or Canada thistles, should he so choose. Overland Monthly. About Eatino "With a Fork. Tlie fashion and importance attached to It proves that "Fashion" is a tyrant, and many inconsiderately become a slave to it. Fashions that can be followed with out breach of good morals, manners or inconvenience may with propriety be followed. But can persons, as a general rule, feed themselves with a fork in preference to a knife? Wo have at the table of fashionable people, heretofore, been pleased, in cast ing a sly eye around, to see old people feed with the knife when most conven ient, and amused to see the younger ones try to convey fine food to the mouth with a fork. After piling and packing, tlie attempt to elevate failed for want of cohesion. After repeated attempts of the kind, the fork was impatiently laid aside ami the knife used ! Can any one tell why persons should discommode themselves to follow such an inconven ient style, without any benefit except to please an Inconsistent tyrant, fashion? Why should a person take a fork and crush pie to pieces, instead of cutting it with a knife and conveying it to tho mouth with either knife or fork, as most convenient ? If the mouth pollutes a knife, why not a fork or a spoon just as much ? or a cup or a saucer from which one drinks? Will fashion invent some machine by which liquid can be injected into the mouth without polluting the cup or saupcr ? In tlie language of as hy, we pause for 'a reply. The causes for which a Mahometan woman may demand a divorce arc clear ly and broadly laid down in tlie Koran, and her evidence is sufficient, because the Mahometan law supposes that a woman must be violently aggrieved be fore the modesty of her sex will allow her to apjwar in public with such appli cation. So careful is this law to spare her feelings that she is not even required to recount her injuries, unless of her own free will. All siie is to do is to place her slipper reversed that is, with the sole upward before the Cadi, and the case is finished. The divorce is granted without further inquiry.

I heard that grammar was an uncom mon fine study, but I don't want any more crrammar about mv house. Tlie lesson that 2v ancy sed was nothin' but the foolishest kind of talk: the rediclist word she said was, U love.' I looked right at her hard for being so improper, but she went right on and sed, 'thou lovest and he loves.' And I reckon vou never heard such rigermarole iu your ine love, love, love, love, and nutnln' but love. She sed one time. 'I did love.' Sez I, 'who did j'ou love?' The scholars lafled, but I wasn't to be put oil, aud sed, 'Who did you love, Xancy?' The schoolmaster, Mr. McQuIHlster, put in; he sed lie would explain when sancy finished the lesson. This sorter pacefied me, and Nancy went on with her awful love talk. It Rot wus and wus every word. She said, 'I might, could, or would love' I stopped her araln. and said I reckon I would see about that, and told her to walk out of that house.
