BY GERALD MASSEY. Her dainty hand had nestled in mine, rich and white, And timid as a trembling dove ; . And it twinkled about me, a jewel of light, As che garnished our feast of love; *Twas the queenliest hand in all lady land, . And she was a poor man’s wife ; O, little ye’d think how that wee, white hand . Could dare in the battle of life. Mer heart it was iowly as maiden’s might be But hath climb’d to heroic height, And burn’d like a shield in defense of me, On the sorest field of fight! And startling as fire it hath often flashed up Inder eyes, the good heart and rare ! And she drank down ber half of our bitterest cup, And taught mo how to bear. Her sweet eyes that seem’d with their smile sublime, . Made to look me and light me to heavén, They have triumph’d thro’ bitter tears many a time Since their love to my life was given : And the maiden’s meek voice of the womanly wife Still bringeth the heaven nigher ; For it rings like the voice of God over my life, Aye bidding me climb up higher. T hardly dared think it was human, when I’ve look’d in her yearning face; For it shone as the heavens had open’d them, And clad it with glory and grace ! . But dearer its light of healing grew In our dark and desolate day, As the rainbow, when heaven hath ro break of blue, Smileth the storm away. O, her shape was the lithest loveliness— Just an armful of heayen to enfold : But the form that bends flower-like in lovo’s caress With the victor’s strength is soul’d ! In her worshipful presence transfigured I stand, And the poor man’s English home She lights with the beauty of Greece the grand, And the glory of regallest Rome. THE MAN I LOVE. I love’an open countenance; A kind and noble face; The index of an honest heart, That loves the human race ! A brow on which a smile is thron’d, Like sunlight on a flower— As open as the regal skies, With beams of love and power ! I love the kind and welcome glance, That proves we're not alone ; And oh ! how sweet to find at times Some feelings like our own ! A heart that beats with purest hopes, To pity and to bless ; That strikes to make earth’s comforts more Its pains and follies less ! T love the man whose generous smile Is given with his hand— Who sees his equal in all men, And all men equal stand ! Who sees not the disinction made By human laws between The man who has and who has not, But loves from what he’s seen ! — oo “A Trine or Beauty ts a Joy Forever.”—Mr. Bradbury, one of the conductors of the New York Musical Review, thus writes on the death of his child, Kittic Lizzie, at the age of five years. Was ever anything more touchingly penned ? Kittie is gone. Where? ‘T'o Heaven. Anangel came and took her away. She was a lovely child— gentle as a lamb; the pet of the whole family; the youngest of them all. But she could not stay with them any longer. She had an angel sister in Heaven who was waiting for her. The angel sister was with us only a few months, but she has been in Heaven many years, and she must have loved Kittie, for everybody loved her. The loveliest flowers are often soonest plucked. Ifa little voice sweeter and more musical than others was heard, I knew Kitty was hear. If my study door opened so gently and slily that no sound could be heard, I knew Kitty was coming. If after an hour’s quiet play, a little shadow passed me, and the door opened and shut as no one else could open and shut it “‘so as not to disturb papa,” I knew Kittie was going. heard a gentle voice saying, ‘‘Papa, may I stay with you a little while? I will be very still,” I did not necd to look off my work, to assure me that it was my little lamb. You stayed with me too long, Kittie dear, to leave me sosuddenly: youare too still now. You became my little assistant, my home angel, my youngest and sweetest singing bird, and I miss the little voice that I haye so often heard in an adjoining room, catching up and echoing little snatches of melody as they were being composed. I miss those soft and sweet kisses. I miss the little hand that was always first to be placed upon my forehead, to “‘drive away the pain.” I miss the sound of those little feet upon the stairs. I miss the little knock at my bed room door in the morning, and the triple good night kiss in the evening. I miss the sweet smile from the sunniest of faces. I miss—oh! how I miss the foremost in the little group who came out to mect me at the gate for the first kiss. I do not stoop so low now, Kittie, to give the first kiss. I miss you at the table and at the family worship. I miss your voice singing i“I want to be an angél,” for nobody could sing it like you. J miss you in rides and walks. I miss you in the garden. I miss you everywhere; but I will not miss you, in Heaven. “Papa, if weare good, will an angel truly come and take us to Heaven when we die??? When the question was asked, how little did I think the angel was so near! But he did “truly” come, and the sweet flower is transplanted to a more genial clime. “I do wish papa ; would come home.’’ Wait a little while . Kittie, and papa willcome. The journey is not long. He will soon be “home.” Eb oe ee wee A capital joke is told by a foreign paper, the Zeztung, which victimized one of its exchanges, the Tiugblatt, as follows: The latter had been in the habit of copying the telegraphic dispatches of the former without eredit. To pay off the Tagblatt’s thieving propensities, the Zeitung printed in one copy of its paper, which was to be supplied to the . Tagblatt, the following startling intelligence : hough . “I'he Hmperorfof Russia and Prince Gortscha. koff have been taken prisoners and murdered by the Allies!” all of which was copied into the whole impression of the Tagblalt, to the ; great satisfaction and amusement of its readers. ae een eae — _ —*) WILOLE NO. 307. a eee LEF'S DIE TOGETHER! have heard of neither since—meantime; j Quill has returned to the office. : A very amusing seene occurred a few Oil has gone up in the city, but strychdays ago, ina neighboring city, nota thous-} nine no sale—[Council Dlufls (loway and miles from this, wherein a number of .

Quad and Rule could not j long retain their mirth at the rich joke! jthey had played ; the secret must out.—. Thanks to the eareful provident Quill, “the . steak was fine !” Quill comprehending at once the whole state of aflairs, determined richly to repay the boys for their left handed joke, so, instantly assuming the gravity of an owl, and the solicitude of a fhatronly shanghai, . with great earnestness, gtasplitg Quad by . the arm, exclaimed : “My God! Quad, you hay’ent eater that poisoned meat ?” “Y-e-s,” responded Quad, while his face assumed an ashy paleness, his limbs were seized with a trembling and his eyes stood . out an inch from his foreheead. and in a few minute’ will be a dead man. . Strychnine was put upon that meat to kill wolves,” Every person in the office knew that strychnine had been procured that day, to. . silence some wolves, that with their howl-. ings, made midnight hideous. Each, therefore, now rushed forward to the scere of} conversation, everything in the shape of business, was suspended, and each waited in breathless agony the termination of this tragical scene. “Poisoned !—strychnine ! !—death ! 1!) groaned the thoroughly affrighted Quad. “Oh! my God, save me,” and he rolled his eye beseechingly an instant for the first time heavenward, then hastily placing both hands upon his stomach, he hissed, “Ah, . ye gods ! J feel the death gripe—the pois-. jon has hold of my vitals! Oh-h-h! Save . me—what shall I take ?” Quill suggested grease, oil, lard, soap, . anything as an antidote. Devil jumped . down to the press, and in an instant re. turned with a large bottle filled with oil. —the article used on the press, Quad grasped it spasmodically, disengaged the . cork and placed it to his mouth. The lim-. ped streain flowed towards its level, and) the bottle would have been emptied had . it not been arrested by the hand of Rule, . whose quick eye measured the remains of. . the fast disappearing, life-saving antidote. The remainder was hastily dispatched, together with all the grease that ¢ould be! found in the office. Consternation and fright now reigned in. that once happy office——prayers were . breathed for the sinful souls of the two unfortunates. The crisis was_ hastily ap-. proaching, when another entered and quick. ly learned the awful state of affairs, viz : . that the young man had taken strychnine. . “To the Doctors ! for God’s sake—haste!” screamed thenew comer. This was some. thing new and unthought of in the bustle . before. Quad sprang to the door, and ‘as . about vanishing, when Rule moaned out, . “Stop a moment, Quad, wait, I will go. If’ we dic, let’s die together like men !” The office of Dr. M. was reached in a moment— the victims examined — said there was little danger, the poison, if taken, . would have done its work before. Quad was not satisfied ; he saw only death before hiiti } could get no oil ; Doctor was out. Pale, haggard, and trembling in eve. ry limb, he rushed out, followed in the} distance by all the “boys,” from the office . —breaking through two doors of a neighboring establishments, he shouted to the . proprietor in sepulchral tones : “Oil, grease, lard—quick—strychnine! . O, Tam poisoned ! haste or I die! Oh-hb-h ab-h-h-h! The pains of death are severe. Q-0-0-0-@0 !” The frightened keep. er could only furnish the little lamp grease . on hand, and hastily put om the fire a pan . of pork. The wretched victim almost. in the agonies of death, his knees, like Belshazzar’s, smiting together, seized a ladle, and with his breath half cooling the aceumulating fut, rapidly drank it as the swect. est morsel. The overburdened stomach could not endure everything ; a tenderness and upheaving ensucd, and the victim was led back with difficulty to the office, physically prostrated. Quill was absent—the secret had leaked out—the boys couldn't hold—they tittered, laughed, gig¢led—the thing was out. Quad and Rule smelt a} and vigor instantly returned. No oil, the press couldn’t run that night, no one dare mention the name of it. Doctor called next morning, bill was promptly met. Weather was exceedingly cold, yet that house was too hot for Quill for a number of days. The boys won’t endure the sight of pork, grease, or butter. On Saturday, Quad still pale, was passing street—a stranger called from behind. asking where was a drug-store, he wanted ' strychnine to poison wolves. . With murder in his eye Quad turned upon him. Stranger took him to be a jtadman, and hastily fled, hotly pursued . —hats flew off in the wind ; still bare. headed as for life, each neryed himself— jaway—away, watil lost front sight. Wet “Do [ should think, easily find one.” you really think so?” was the rejoinder, . “then, madam,” laying his hand impressively upon his breast, “allow me to maké you a formal offer of my heart and hand.” The lady, not at all taketi back by so astounding a declaration said, that ‘a more private one would be better suited for 30 delicate a commanication.” The maniac, soothed and delighted with visions perhaps, of a cosy ¢ete-a-tete with his fair interlocator at some future time, said, “I thenk you for your good advice—good morning,” and departed with a graceful bow—leaving the young lady to pursue hes walk without further molestation. —Duffuls Advertiser. Too Trur.—The following is too trite to be creditable to human nature: You enter the church porch. The portly sexton, with his thumbs in the armholes of his vest, meets you at the door. He glances at you—your hat and coat are new—so he graciously escorts you toa seat in the broad isle. Closely behind you follows a poor, meck, plainly dresseé sempstress, striving fom her treadmill round, to think one day out of seven of the immortal! he sexton is struck with sudden blindness! She stands embarrds?ed one moment, then, asthe truth dawns upon her, retraces her steps, awd, with a crimson blush, recrosses the threshhold whieh she has profaned with plebcian fect. Hark to the organ! It isa straif from Norma, slightly sabbathized. Now the worshippers one after another glide in—silks rattle— plumes wave—sat: ins glisten—diamonds glitter—and scores of forty dollar handkerchiefs Shake out their perfumed odors. What an absurdtty to preach the gospel of the lowly Nafarene to such a set! The clergyman knows better than to do so. He values his fat salary and handsome parsonage too highly. So, with a velvet tread, he walks af! around the ten commandments, and _plaees the downiest pillows under the dying profligate’s head, and ushers him, with seraphic hymning, into the upper-ten heayen. —<> A horrible affair occurred at Washington, Mo., on Saturday week. Two ot three years ago, a man named Harrison; living in that place, married a widow haying two children—a girl of about fourteen and a boy ayear or two older. A few months ago, during the absence of the mother on a visit to her friends in Warren county, the step-father violated the person of the daughter, and by threats aud menaces caused her to keep the matter 3cerct. He also by means of false keys ualocked a drawer and carried off a sum of money which the son had laid up from his earnings. The latter, on diseovering this fact, had him arrested, and durin: his examination the daughter was put upon the stand as a witness, when she also disclosed the horrible outrage which had been committed on her. ‘Thereupon her brother left the court room and procured a pistol, and returning, shot the monster dead where he stood. He was immedi ately arrested and examined on a charge of murder, and discharged on the ground of justifiable homicide. re re Bay~ Dickens haz outgrown his prejudices against this country, if one may judge from this passage in his latest story. * Nevertheless, again I drank my cobler, julep, sling; et e4eltail, in all good will to my friend the General, and my friends the Majors, Colonels and civil: ians, all; full well knowing that whatever little motes my beamy eyes may have descried in their country, they belong to a Kind, generous, large-hearted and great people.” i ee b Many a man has a kind of mental kaleidoscope, where the bits of broken glass are his own merits and fortunes, ¢ud they fall into harmonious arrange nents and delight him—often most mischicyously aud to his ultimate dettiment, but they are present pleasure. — >< : “Flow do you know,” said an enlightened European to an ignorant savage of i Asia, ‘how do you know there id ¢ God?” “How do you know,” replied the savane, pointing to human footsteps near him, “how do you know that men have passed this way?” os cD <a + A country paper, dunuing its subseribers, says: “Suffer little sums to come unto us, for of such is our income.”= ><> <aThe mind has more room in it than most persons think, if they would but furnishthe apartments, __ F aa The Natchez Courier begins an obituaty notice with the following significant words— Died of medical quackery, at his father’s residence,” &e. ————~ 2S a Horace Mann says that ‘more .{han one-half of the population of England eannot write their own names!” Reni eget ESS Impertrinent.—Lady (in fashionablé dress )—“‘Little boy, can I go through this gate to the river?” Boy—“Perhaps.

BY GERALD MASSEY. Her dainty hand had nestled in mine, rich and white, And timid as a trembling dove ; . And it twinkled about me, a jewel of light, As che garnished our feast of love; *Twas the queenliest hand in all lady land, . And she was a poor man’s wife ; O, little ye’d think how that wee, white hand . Could dare in the battle of life. Mer heart it was iowly as maiden’s might be But hath climb’d to heroic height, And burn’d like a shield in defense of me, On the sorest field of fight! And startling as fire it hath often flashed up Inder eyes, the good heart and rare ! And she drank down ber half of our bitterest cup, And taught mo how to bear. Her sweet eyes that seem’d with their smile sublime, . Made to look me and light me to heavén, They have triumph’d thro’ bitter tears many a time Since their love to my life was given : And the maiden’s meek voice of the womanly wife Still bringeth the heaven nigher ; For it rings like the voice of God over my life, Aye bidding me climb up higher. T hardly dared think it was human, when I’ve look’d in her yearning face; For it shone as the heavens had open’d them, And clad it with glory and grace ! . But dearer its light of healing grew In our dark and desolate day, As the rainbow, when heaven hath ro break of blue, Smileth the storm away. O, her shape was the lithest loveliness— Just an armful of heayen to enfold : But the form that bends flower-like in lovo’s caress With the victor’s strength is soul’d ! In her worshipful presence transfigured I stand, And the poor man’s English home She lights with the beauty of Greece the grand, And the glory of regallest Rome. THE MAN I LOVE. I love’an open countenance; A kind and noble face; The index of an honest heart, That loves the human race ! A brow on which a smile is thron’d, Like sunlight on a flower— As open as the regal skies, With beams of love and power ! I love the kind and welcome glance, That proves we're not alone ; And oh ! how sweet to find at times Some feelings like our own ! A heart that beats with purest hopes, To pity and to bless ; That strikes to make earth’s comforts more Its pains and follies less ! T love the man whose generous smile Is given with his hand— Who sees his equal in all men, And all men equal stand ! Who sees not the disinction made By human laws between The man who has and who has not, But loves from what he’s seen ! — oo “A Trine or Beauty ts a Joy Forever.”—Mr. Bradbury, one of the conductors of the New York Musical Review, thus writes on the death of his child, Kittic Lizzie, at the age of five years. Was ever anything more touchingly penned ? Kittie is gone. Where? ‘T'o Heaven. Anangel came and took her away. She was a lovely child— gentle as a lamb; the pet of the whole family; the youngest of them all. But she could not stay with them any longer. She had an angel sister in Heaven who was waiting for her. The angel sister was with us only a few months, but she has been in Heaven many years, and she must have loved Kittie, for everybody loved her. The loveliest flowers are often soonest plucked. Ifa little voice sweeter and more musical than others was heard, I knew Kitty was hear. If my study door opened so gently and slily that no sound could be heard, I knew Kitty was coming. If after an hour’s quiet play, a little shadow passed me, and the door opened and shut as no one else could open and shut it “‘so as not to disturb papa,” I knew Kittie was going. heard a gentle voice saying, ‘‘Papa, may I stay with you a little while? I will be very still,” I did not necd to look off my work, to assure me that it was my little lamb. You stayed with me too long, Kittie dear, to leave me sosuddenly: youare too still now. You became my little assistant, my home angel, my youngest and sweetest singing bird, and I miss the little voice that I haye so often heard in an adjoining room, catching up and echoing little snatches of melody as they were being composed. I miss those soft and sweet kisses. I miss the little hand that was always first to be placed upon my forehead, to “‘drive away the pain.” I miss the sound of those little feet upon the stairs. I miss the little knock at my bed room door in the morning, and the triple good night kiss in the evening. I miss the sweet smile from the sunniest of faces. I miss—oh! how I miss the foremost in the little group who came out to mect me at the gate for the first kiss. I do not stoop so low now, Kittie, to give the first kiss. I miss you at the table and at the family worship. I miss your voice singing i“I want to be an angél,” for nobody could sing it like you. J miss you in rides and walks. I miss you in the garden. I miss you everywhere; but I will not miss you, in Heaven. “Papa, if weare good, will an angel truly come and take us to Heaven when we die??? When the question was asked, how little did I think the angel was so near! But he did “truly” come, and the sweet flower is transplanted to a more genial clime. “I do wish papa ; would come home.’’ Wait a little while . Kittie, and papa willcome. The journey is not long. He will soon be “home.” Eb oe ee wee A capital joke is told by a foreign paper, the Zeztung, which victimized one of its exchanges, the Tiugblatt, as follows: The latter had been in the habit of copying the telegraphic dispatches of the former without eredit. To pay off the Tagblatt’s thieving propensities, the Zeitung printed in one copy of its paper, which was to be supplied to the . Tagblatt, the following startling intelligence : hough . “I'he Hmperorfof Russia and Prince Gortscha. koff have been taken prisoners and murdered by the Allies!” all of which was copied into the whole impression of the Tagblalt, to the ; great satisfaction and amusement of its readers. ae een eae — _ —*) WILOLE NO. 307. a eee LEF'S DIE TOGETHER! have heard of neither since—meantime; j Quill has returned to the office. : A very amusing seene occurred a few Oil has gone up in the city, but strychdays ago, ina neighboring city, nota thous-} nine no sale—[Council Dlufls (loway and miles from this, wherein a number of .

Quad and Rule could not j long retain their mirth at the rich joke! jthey had played ; the secret must out.—. Thanks to the eareful provident Quill, “the . steak was fine !” Quill comprehending at once the whole state of aflairs, determined richly to repay the boys for their left handed joke, so, instantly assuming the gravity of an owl, and the solicitude of a fhatronly shanghai, . with great earnestness, gtasplitg Quad by . the arm, exclaimed : “My God! Quad, you hay’ent eater that poisoned meat ?” “Y-e-s,” responded Quad, while his face assumed an ashy paleness, his limbs were seized with a trembling and his eyes stood . out an inch from his foreheead. and in a few minute’ will be a dead man. . Strychnine was put upon that meat to kill wolves,” Every person in the office knew that strychnine had been procured that day, to. . silence some wolves, that with their howl-. ings, made midnight hideous. Each, therefore, now rushed forward to the scere of} conversation, everything in the shape of business, was suspended, and each waited in breathless agony the termination of this tragical scene. “Poisoned !—strychnine ! !—death ! 1!) groaned the thoroughly affrighted Quad. “Oh! my God, save me,” and he rolled his eye beseechingly an instant for the first time heavenward, then hastily placing both hands upon his stomach, he hissed, “Ah, . ye gods ! J feel the death gripe—the pois-. jon has hold of my vitals! Oh-h-h! Save . me—what shall I take ?” Quill suggested grease, oil, lard, soap, . anything as an antidote. Devil jumped . down to the press, and in an instant re. turned with a large bottle filled with oil. —the article used on the press, Quad grasped it spasmodically, disengaged the . cork and placed it to his mouth. The lim-. ped streain flowed towards its level, and) the bottle would have been emptied had . it not been arrested by the hand of Rule, . whose quick eye measured the remains of. . the fast disappearing, life-saving antidote. The remainder was hastily dispatched, together with all the grease that ¢ould be! found in the office. Consternation and fright now reigned in. that once happy office——prayers were . breathed for the sinful souls of the two unfortunates. The crisis was_ hastily ap-. proaching, when another entered and quick. ly learned the awful state of affairs, viz : . that the young man had taken strychnine. . “To the Doctors ! for God’s sake—haste!” screamed thenew comer. This was some. thing new and unthought of in the bustle . before. Quad sprang to the door, and ‘as . about vanishing, when Rule moaned out, . “Stop a moment, Quad, wait, I will go. If’ we dic, let’s die together like men !” The office of Dr. M. was reached in a moment— the victims examined — said there was little danger, the poison, if taken, . would have done its work before. Quad was not satisfied ; he saw only death before hiiti } could get no oil ; Doctor was out. Pale, haggard, and trembling in eve. ry limb, he rushed out, followed in the} distance by all the “boys,” from the office . —breaking through two doors of a neighboring establishments, he shouted to the . proprietor in sepulchral tones : “Oil, grease, lard—quick—strychnine! . O, Tam poisoned ! haste or I die! Oh-hb-h ab-h-h-h! The pains of death are severe. Q-0-0-0-@0 !” The frightened keep. er could only furnish the little lamp grease . on hand, and hastily put om the fire a pan . of pork. The wretched victim almost. in the agonies of death, his knees, like Belshazzar’s, smiting together, seized a ladle, and with his breath half cooling the aceumulating fut, rapidly drank it as the swect. est morsel. The overburdened stomach could not endure everything ; a tenderness and upheaving ensucd, and the victim was led back with difficulty to the office, physically prostrated. Quill was absent—the secret had leaked out—the boys couldn't hold—they tittered, laughed, gig¢led—the thing was out. Quad and Rule smelt a} and vigor instantly returned. No oil, the press couldn’t run that night, no one dare mention the name of it. Doctor called next morning, bill was promptly met. Weather was exceedingly cold, yet that house was too hot for Quill for a number of days. The boys won’t endure the sight of pork, grease, or butter. On Saturday, Quad still pale, was passing street—a stranger called from behind. asking where was a drug-store, he wanted ' strychnine to poison wolves. . With murder in his eye Quad turned upon him. Stranger took him to be a jtadman, and hastily fled, hotly pursued . —hats flew off in the wind ; still bare. headed as for life, each neryed himself— jaway—away, watil lost front sight. Wet “Do [ should think, easily find one.” you really think so?” was the rejoinder, . “then, madam,” laying his hand impressively upon his breast, “allow me to maké you a formal offer of my heart and hand.” The lady, not at all taketi back by so astounding a declaration said, that ‘a more private one would be better suited for 30 delicate a commanication.” The maniac, soothed and delighted with visions perhaps, of a cosy ¢ete-a-tete with his fair interlocator at some future time, said, “I thenk you for your good advice—good morning,” and departed with a graceful bow—leaving the young lady to pursue hes walk without further molestation. —Duffuls Advertiser. Too Trur.—The following is too trite to be creditable to human nature: You enter the church porch. The portly sexton, with his thumbs in the armholes of his vest, meets you at the door. He glances at you—your hat and coat are new—so he graciously escorts you toa seat in the broad isle. Closely behind you follows a poor, meck, plainly dresseé sempstress, striving fom her treadmill round, to think one day out of seven of the immortal! he sexton is struck with sudden blindness! She stands embarrds?ed one moment, then, asthe truth dawns upon her, retraces her steps, awd, with a crimson blush, recrosses the threshhold whieh she has profaned with plebcian fect. Hark to the organ! It isa straif from Norma, slightly sabbathized. Now the worshippers one after another glide in—silks rattle— plumes wave—sat: ins glisten—diamonds glitter—and scores of forty dollar handkerchiefs Shake out their perfumed odors. What an absurdtty to preach the gospel of the lowly Nafarene to such a set! The clergyman knows better than to do so. He values his fat salary and handsome parsonage too highly. So, with a velvet tread, he walks af! around the ten commandments, and _plaees the downiest pillows under the dying profligate’s head, and ushers him, with seraphic hymning, into the upper-ten heayen. —<> A horrible affair occurred at Washington, Mo., on Saturday week. Two ot three years ago, a man named Harrison; living in that place, married a widow haying two children—a girl of about fourteen and a boy ayear or two older. A few months ago, during the absence of the mother on a visit to her friends in Warren county, the step-father violated the person of the daughter, and by threats aud menaces caused her to keep the matter 3cerct. He also by means of false keys ualocked a drawer and carried off a sum of money which the son had laid up from his earnings. The latter, on diseovering this fact, had him arrested, and durin: his examination the daughter was put upon the stand as a witness, when she also disclosed the horrible outrage which had been committed on her. ‘Thereupon her brother left the court room and procured a pistol, and returning, shot the monster dead where he stood. He was immedi ately arrested and examined on a charge of murder, and discharged on the ground of justifiable homicide. re re Bay~ Dickens haz outgrown his prejudices against this country, if one may judge from this passage in his latest story. * Nevertheless, again I drank my cobler, julep, sling; et e4eltail, in all good will to my friend the General, and my friends the Majors, Colonels and civil: ians, all; full well knowing that whatever little motes my beamy eyes may have descried in their country, they belong to a Kind, generous, large-hearted and great people.” i ee b Many a man has a kind of mental kaleidoscope, where the bits of broken glass are his own merits and fortunes, ¢ud they fall into harmonious arrange nents and delight him—often most mischicyously aud to his ultimate dettiment, but they are present pleasure. — >< : “Flow do you know,” said an enlightened European to an ignorant savage of i Asia, ‘how do you know there id ¢ God?” “How do you know,” replied the savane, pointing to human footsteps near him, “how do you know that men have passed this way?” os cD <a + A country paper, dunuing its subseribers, says: “Suffer little sums to come unto us, for of such is our income.”= ><> <aThe mind has more room in it than most persons think, if they would but furnishthe apartments, __ F aa The Natchez Courier begins an obituaty notice with the following significant words— Died of medical quackery, at his father’s residence,” &e. ————~ 2S a Horace Mann says that ‘more .{han one-half of the population of England eannot write their own names!” Reni eget ESS Impertrinent.—Lady (in fashionablé dress )—“‘Little boy, can I go through this gate to the river?” Boy—“Perhaps.
