Hither I summon the best. Hither to worship, hither to wed, . Ililher to sleep in a quiet bed. Swing, riiMr,-: And thus I bring AH at my beck as I'm swinging. What is the seasons to me of mine ? What, be it stormy or fine ? Daily to me the sexton plods. Fresh from the turning of rods. In his gray eyes riht well do I see Whether a wedding or death it be. Swing, ring, The notes I fling, OTcr the valley are winging. Sire and childien one by one, Answered my warning tone. Who but the sextou is older thai I? He is my kinsman high. Owls are my courtiers, loving mo well. Heed you the voice of the old church-bell. Swing, sing, And when l swing Th'e rich and the poor I ?.m bringing. Come from the labors and dreams oflife, Maiden and gentle wife ! . Youth of the proud ambitious brow, Where are thy visions now ? Others are tef.ing the story you told, Others are scLeming for glory and gold. Swing, ring, And here f cling, Shaking the grave with my singing. Down, when the stars are aloft, I gaze, Watching ihe twinkling rays Out from the village window shine ; Somebody there is mine. Hands are parted and young lips meet; U, but the days of life are fleet. Swing, ring, . They are vjuiiohing Gone like the strokes I am ringing ! Woman's Devotion and Courage In one of the niouutain counties of Middle Tennessee an incident occurred in the early part of the war which goes to show that determined courage and no ble dnrinsr are not always confined to strength and muscle. It serves to show tooj that swift avenging justice some times overtakes the offender in a way least expected. 1 revions to the outbreak in 1801, a young man 01 nne promise and moral Ivorth located in a rural neighborhood in One of the upper counties for the purpose of pursuing the practice of medicine, the study of which he had just completed. And when the war came on lie was a nioug the faithful few whose honeet heart was set upon the flag of his country. But such was the force of the tide of se cession and- rebellion which 6vept over the country as to make submission a vir tue; and he quietly pursued his calling, attendinrr to the bedside of the sick, a- waiting with pa'iciu c the day when the turbid stream should pass away, and the flag of the Union should again float in the mountain breeze. That day came at length, and the Union army passed through the country and every man was required to swear allegiance to the Government. The young doctor was among the first to take the oath, and this at once made him mark for rebel bulkts. xor was it long ere his life paid the penalty. Three young men of the neighborhood were se lected as the willing: agents lo make him an example to all who should dare thus to welcome the old flag. Ihcy went to his boarding house, and finding him seat ed at the dinner table rushed in and or dered him to surrender, at the same time opening fire- upon him in his defenseless coudilion. Several balls took effect as he rose and attempted to escape as re- sistence was worse than vain, lie got out of the door, but finding himself mor tally wounded and about to bleed to death, ' he was carried in, where he was again set upon by ' his murderers. lie : ged them to leave him, as lie was then dyftig. But one of them placing a revolver to his head, blew his brains out when they retired to report their hellish success. The news of this murderous deed fell like a damper upon every loyal , heart. I But there was one that lelt the weight ; of it more keenly than others. Miss Li. vernia V., the daughter of a well-to-do fanner in the neighborhood, was engaged to the young doctor. She was young, scarcely grown up to woman-hood- in-! telligent, modest aud amiable and withal delicately formed, wearing a shoe that fits children, of the No. 13. The sad news fell upon her like the crushing .weight i of a niouutain, and she resolved to a venge the death of her fallen lover. And with due caution she awaited and j sought an opportunity, communicating with no one. that she might the better accomplish her object. lhus time passed on; but jnstice like the revenge for the dead, slumberc 1 not. One of the young men who was present at the time the awful deed was committed not lonsr after was killed by accident. Then another one was captured by the Federal forces passing through, and when it became known that he was one of the murderers of the young doctor he was shot by order of the Commanding officer. But Turner still lived, a regular guerril la, the daring, bloody guerrilla, who styled himself a "Louisiana Tiger." And so little remorse had he lor the murder ous deel he net only remained in the country, but had married and lived in the neighborhood. It was in the beautiful month of May, when one Sabbath morning the young la dy, with the heart of a Spartan soldier, determined to accomplish the object of liavenafHig the death of him who, having won her heart was aearcr man me useii. She was a young lady of exemplary mor als, a church member, but sought the ac econiTilishment of the long cherished ob ject on that day, because it was likely to afford uer better . opportunities man a business day would. And when break fast was over, she drcssetfuerself aud left without saying a word to any one of the familv as to where or for what purpose Fshe was a&scnt . She Jeft a, pote, howev er in her room, stating, Tne. object ofr her errand, and in case she should be killed in the undertaking she gave directions in regard to her burial , This note was not found however until' about the tiuio she returned, late in the afternoon. On leaving in the forenoon' shV went directly" f o his house, intending to beard theliWit "hi: his, den. and. make an example of murdered Itinocehcci- "'JJ(fl she found no one there, the family- having gone to spend the day with' a near neighbor. She waited awhile and then set out for the place, rightly judging as to whereithey were gone. . Arriving sVtf passed the time in her usual social manner. Turner and liis young wife were there J but ho suspicions of her intent crossed the mind of any one. But it would seem from an expression that ' lell from his lips, that Tnraer eitlier feared or felt some forebodings of evil, remarking as he did, to the man of the house during the day, that lie wished Livcrnia would leave as he did not wish to be where she was." ' '. ': , ... In the afternoon, as the day lierran to wear away, Mrs. Turner remfttkerl to her husband -that, feeling somewhat indis posed, she would return, and be could eomc when he cot ready, and loft. Li vcrnia still remained, watchinr; for a suit able opportunity toaecomplish her object. At length .turner went out and was miss ing she inquired of the lady of the house where he Was. She informed her that he had started home, whereupon she went out, and seeing him going off, called to him to stop, that she had a word to speak to him. He stopped while she advanced to within some thirty steps, when she fired, the ball passinir thronrh the skirt of his coat, upon winch he broke to run. Aot to be toiled in her attempt, she pur sued, firing as she ran, and the second fire brought him to the ground. She tlien walked lip leisurely, firing until she had put three or lour leaden balls into him, which made sure work. On returning to the house, the lady as tonished at so unexpected an event and coming from such an unexpeetrrl source said to her: "U, L,ivernia, why did you do so?" She calmly replied, ."He killed one who was as dear to me as life, and I had to do it." She then drew out an other revolver and went skipping along the path homeward, feeling that she had accomplished a long cherished object of avenging the death of a loved one. lhus within five months from the day the young man fell, his three assassins had all met their merited fate; th most daring one, and the one which finished the foul deed falling by the delicate hand of a tender crirl. Some time after this occurrence Colpr nel (now General) Stokes, commanding the Federal forces inlhat section, invited the young lady to favor him with her presence at his headquarters. She went accompanied by a friend; and in the course of the conversation he inquired of her it she ever had any regrets for hav ing killed Turner. She promptly . re plied 6he had hot fcI was afraid," said he, "you might." . "But," you ought to have none," for he was a bad rebel, and ought to have been killed." She was then presented with a Splendid revolver as an evidence of his esteem for the brave ded. How Mr. Lincoln Endorsed the Negro. The third year of the war, "William Johnsoii, a negro messenger in the Treas ury Department, who added to Ins pay and his duties the emoluments and honor of shaving President Lincoln, went to u m. J. Huntington, the cashier of the First National Bank in "Washington, to borrow oDe hundred and fifty dollars on his note on hand. "Mr. Huntington, who is as kind to the poor as he is rigid in ad hering to the rnles of good bank manage ment, listened favorably to the financial proposition of -William, and asked him what he wanted to do with the money. "To finish my little house," said . he. "I have to require a responsible endorser ; can you give me one V" "I reckon-1 kin," rcpliedvv illiam, straightening himself up with solid dignity. "I kin give Abram Linkon !" "Oh ! ho M ill do," said the cashier, who turned to his desk and drew two notes for twenty-five dollars each, payable respectively in sixty and ninety days. William got Mr. Lincoln's endorse ment, and irot his money. When the first note fell due it was not paid, and Mr. Huntington, soon after, having business at the licasury Depart ment, sought for the colored defaulter to his birr bank. William was not in his messenger's chair. '- Poor William was. dead. The cashier, in the course of time, having occasion to do some business with Mr. Lincoln, took with him William's two promises to pay. , After concluding his interview with the. President upon the matter principally in hand, he said, "Mr. Liucolon, the barber who used to shave you, I hear, is dead." "Oh, yes,' interrupted the President, with feeling ; "William is gone, I bought a coffin for the poor fellow, and have had to help his family." "Well, Mr. Lincoln," resumed the cashier, "I was going to say that 1 had in the bank two small notes of Wil liam's, endorsed by you, which I will now surrender to you."

' : . - ' 1 . i ; A Russian Curiosity in the Exhibition. The Paris : correspondent of the St. Louis Republican has the following ac count of certain strange objects in the Russian Department of the Exhibition : .Uho Exhibition of 1867 is especially. ncn in tne matter ol national costumes, and a whole treatise might be written with edification and instruction upon this category out of the . vast . assemblages. Russia, Sweden, Denmark, the East, France herself, have emulated each other in producing types of their diilcrent pro vinces, and the people who inhabit them. But perhaps none of tliem have attracted more attention than the strange group which lines the portion of the Russian galleries above mentioned. I saw the Emperor and Empress pause before those ngures one day, and looking at each Oth er as though they were asking themselves whether they had any such subjects with in ineir dominions, or what they, would do with them if thev had. And indcpd. the first thought which passes through one's mind is whether the figures' - repre sent what is human or not. ' It is difficult to say what one might take these inhabitants of Polar Russia for, it left to one's own imagination.. But fortunately they are "ticketed," and to save one the trouble of conjecture". We learn by the cards upon them that they are Ostaques, or Ostaics, of the extreme north of Siberia, on.- the Oby ; and cer tainly a race so little emerged in feature and expression from something not hu man, or one more calculated to enforce the humiliating theory that men were once nronkeys, I never more beheld. There is n female and her brood of young ones, who, or which, it is impossible to look at without pity; mhig'ieii-.with hu miliation, 1 imagine from their counte nances that intelligent human nature could scarcely begin lower down than this, bo here, then, may bTT said to be the starting point of the great .Slavonic race, which now overshadows all Europe. At'least the next step, to Cossacks' and Kurds of the Caucasus, takes us at once" a long way ahead ; though these latter, if exhibited alone and without such a set off as this Ostaic race, would look "wild" enough for anything. Outside, m the I ark, we have speci mens inclosed of the dwelliucs of two of the Nomad tribes of Russia, but unfor tunately no representatives of the inhab itants, or of their costumes. We are greatly indebted to the Russian Govern ment for having placed all these things before us, and made the Russian section the most complete illustration of the em pin.', in all its imposing vastness and va riety of any of the assembled.. nationali ties. We see clearly what Russia ' has done, is doing, and has yet to do. We see the lite and material ot lite and civili sation of the Prince on the banks of the Neva and the Ortal, or those of the Oby, and we can trace the progress from the latter to the former, though the stages of the Kurd aifd Cossack, and the well-to-do and now fortunately emancipated serf and peasant. , , Lower California. This peninsula comprises the tract of country that extends southward from the State o"f California between the gulf of the same name and the Pacific ocean, an extent of territory covering many thou sands of square nines and terminating at Cape St. Lucas on the south. It has for some time occupied the attention of en terprising men on account of its. proba ble wealth ot minerals and its other pro fitable sources of industry. It is. now included in the territory of Mexico, tho' it is understood that it was purchased some time ago by a company ot Ameri can citizens of the Liberalist government. A special commissioner was sent out to explore the country ,aid examine into its resources, and report upon the same. He has done so and returned to San Francis co and published an account of his re-, searches. From this we glean some in teresting facts. The west coast bordering the sea js quite barren for its whole extent, and has a very bold shore generally. It has two excellent harbors, St. Barlolmcand Mag dalena Bay, free from all hidden dangers to navigation: lhcrc are some other roadsteads where ships may ride in com parative safety in a storm, and some of the adjacent islands afford . conveniences for shipping. The climate is mild and pleasaut. The priscips! source of wealth have been whale and seal h'shing, guano and salt. The latter conies friaiuly from OjoLcbe near the head of Scamhibn's Lagoon where the salt fields produce an illimitable srfppTy, and .are easily ap proached by vessels of one hundred tons burthen. Its market was San Francisco, tSr tire latter eity fowid' supplies nearer home.' '.'''."' Several lagoons near the coast are the resort or whales and furnish employment to whalemen. At the above, named la goon over tventy-tw'o thousand1' barrels of oil were taken between 185S and'1801, in the w inter -months, which at fifteen dollars a barrel was worth a third of a million doITa-rs At the present timff the business is deatL, for its former activity killed off the whales so closely that none are found worth chasing. At Bidlenos' lagoon three thousand five! hi'rrdred bar rets of oil were taken in 1859 and '00,' and near five thousand barrels- in ' 1.8Q0 61. But there also the supply 1 has- de creased. The country round Magdalena Bay is barren and uninviting, and the re- ksources arc whales fisht oysters,, clams, muscles, and game., ri he-natives lrom tne interior bring cattle, leather,' raw-hides, soap, cheese, figs, "oranges, dates, pearls, shells, and sometimes silver manufactures, to exchange for ready-made clothirg, heavy cotton cloths, calicoes, tobacco and cutlery. . ' There Are-fifteen islands 'off the west Coast, anrl the highest point is thref! thou sand four hnudred.fcet above the level of the sea, and covered with-pine and cedar. Goats are plonty in the ravines, and fur seal and sea elephants formerly resorted to St. Guadalonpe, one of the largest is lands of the group;. Some .tfrcniv-hree thousand tons of -grain have been shij ped from Elide Island. .. But the supply is exhausted. Cedros Island i the lar gest of the. list, but is, barren and the cli mate is dry. So we see that the former sources of profit and ind-ustry have been exhausted, and the territory is not of much value at present ; but there is no great doubt that it may.be hi:ide profita ble in a commercial point of view. But it will require a new and fresh population and new enterprise. Its productiveness in cattle pccirf 9 to indicate excellent gra zing facilities and much good land in'the interior,- and no' doubt the mountains a bound with the precious metals. At least the purchasers will not neglect to search for them, and as Southern California has been found to nbauiid in them", it i may hapcn that the same characteristic ex tends southward throngh this prnir.sula. Whether it is proposed by the purcha sers to annex this region to the United States has not yet transpired. Nor do we know whether tire seller relinquished the right: of government over it. If it is to continue a part of Mexican territory its development will ba slow, and very probably all projects of the company foi putting an American facts fipon its tom niereiu affairs will meet with the usual opposition of the illiterate and stupid Mexican population. We do not know the terms on which- the purchase was made, but presume the advantage was made on the American side as it has been in all bargains heretofore made with that people. The Poor Whites and blacks of Tennessee. nessee. Gail Hamilton, in "Wool (fathering," writes as follows ; Through Middle and Southern Tennes see, and down in Alabama sweet, sof'tly flowing names, lands rich in promise and possibiiityT'but wretched and squalid, we read of p ivation and suffering ; but the book that opens before our eyes tells a tale utterly new and unexpected. Can one dream of a life so miserable and mea ger as that which stagnates here? It is not life but listlessness. The station vil lages show a huddle of dirty, white frame houses, small, disorderly, mean, set ap parently with no attempt at regularity, built with no thought of Symmetry Or beauty scarcely, one would say, of com fort or thrift they miylit be workshops rather than houses. Groups of unkept, unshorn, unwashed men lounge on the stoops ; men and village are dirty-white together. ' - 1 But this is the class of houses. By far the larger number on the road, all except those in the villages, are huts, cabins, built perhaps of logs, sometimes of the roughest boards. One shudders to think of human beings living in such houses, and content) to live ; there. Sometimes house, and barn and shed are under one roof, the shed in the middle. Ol'tener no barn appears. The .chimneys are rudely built up from the ground at the end of the house, with stones of various sikes gathered from the pastures, sticks and bits of board piled transversely, and daub ed with clay.. Black and white side by side, as it is easy to see, for the doorways are generally filled with gazers, looking even more wretched and squalid " than their houses. One:. door is adusk with swart faceSj at various distance from the groiiud, and a few feet away another hov el overflows with tow heads. The whites seem the most pitable. They have a gray, earthly look, as if the Lord God had form ed them ot the dust oi the ground, par ticularly of Tennessee clay, but had hard ly yet breathed into their nostrils the breath of life. The dress of the women is no dress at all, but a very partial cov ering. Bare feet, bare legs, lank skirts, moppy hair, is the costume. One would not mind a group or two here and there, but a country peopled with such beings, a country dotted with such dwellings, leaves a hopelessness on the soul. To ride hour alter hour past these dreary, despairing habitations, to see swarm af ter swarm of these pallid, dull faces homes with all that makes home desira ble faded cut, life with all that makes life lovely vanished away O, the sudden sadness of it I It seems as if in some sort one's country had suffered change. You thought all was prosperity and pro gress, even sometimes a little noisy and rude. But here are silence, submission and degradation.

A1 writer in the Scientific American, who clai.iis to have been an egg stfident 15 years, gives us- the following benefit of his experience: . i , -' The thousand and one recipes given from time to time are in fact as worthless as tho mermaid stories r those of the snai-.e -monsior oi Liie. sea.- iuany put:' forth' these : for the million do not know what afresh egg. is; many d J it for notoriety, and some iguorantly. No egg is fresh that will shake ; this is because it has lost some of its albumen. No egg has ever been preserved over a month that will not shake, except it be air proofed whhvh is not generally understood A is a new process. If they are put in so lution, no matter what it In, the eg"- will " absorb it; if put io dry measures the albumen will escape- by transpiration through the shell. The egg has been coated with every conceivable composi tion, even in solid stone, and galvanized, yet the watery material escapes. The philosophy ot this is that there is air in an egg before it is treated, and this uni ting its oxygen and carbon, produces de composition by carbonic acid gas, the yel ow of the egg first breaking, then fok ows the destruction. Eggs are natural ly designed to last as long as the hen re quires to get her brodd, and the life germ can bo preserved a few weeks seven or eight but no longer. The egg itself may be kept in a preserved state tor two years by greasing with butter, oil or lard, but from the time it is thus put np to the end of the two years it will daily loose its albumen by transpiration, and while its carbonic acid escapes to a certain extent, thejegg meat will be re duced fully two-thirds and will shake. For ctilhiery psrposes they will do very wefl. lint we want a whole egg, not a halt one, and we want them fresh. - But ter, lard and suet have been used for half a century, still nothing has reccommend- ' ed itself over tho old liming system in a commercial point of view. The theory always has been, and still is, that to keep an egg fresh the air must be excluded. It is the only philosophical treatment of it that can be made. - . -r Eggs are composed of more than half " a dozen chemical ingredients, "and these components are very volatile; hence the atmosphere with its powerful agencies works quickly .upon it. .Externally kept from the air the latter is powerless to do it harm, put the air inside no mortal can, prevent, and that alone in time will de compose the egg. A "Purp" on its travels. The Hartford Courant is responsible for this : Capt. John Dickinson, of the McDon ough House, Middletown, was presented ' on Monday with a white female- dog, a worthless representative of a worthless species. Thereby hannrS a tain Tr.i dog was started on its travels by a gen- iieuKtu in me American express Compa-. ny's office in Boston, August 5th, who sent him to a friend in New York, with an appropriate letter. The recipient kept it one day,- ami, discovering its real value, sent it, with another letter, to a friend in Syracuse, who repeated the venture and sent it" to a friend in Auburn. In this manner the poor dog was sent to Roch ester and Buffalo, and thence across the line to Dunkirk and Hamilton, C. W But the Canncks wouldn't keep her, and by the Hamiltonians she was sent to Tom Winchester, landlord of the Western Hotel; NV.v YoTk, who forwarded her to E. liiee, New Jersey, who sent her back to C.
