3f"Tho following is from tho pen of C. V.
Win. It has thb true ring of poetry in it. We
defy any tasteful lover of poetry to read it with
out exclaiming, "How beautiful!"
JUDGE NOT.
Bridle your virtue,
Tether the tonguo;
Pity the fair vino
Blighted so young,
Why not .ho tombl
Slid, shuttered life,
Think of her doom
Widow, yet wife
Tears, like sad rivers,
Roll throi ghall time:
lie hi heart' torrent
Poured for its crime,
Billows of aod
Swell o'er his breast.
Pleading with God
There let him rest.
Etill to mother
Lire is as Djath;
Heme and its idol
Gone with a breath!
Blood on his 1 and.
Stnin on his bed;
Pity them all
Living mil dead.
Those whot) life current
Flows calm and quiet,
Who-e love and whoau pas.-ion
Nov r ran riot,
Jud.:e not too hurshiy;
Few fall by design;
Pray for the ermig--
Their fate m.iy bo thiao!
Bridle yoi:r censure,
Tethor tl.o tongue,
Charity's b eK-ings
Ever sro young;
He knows the temptation
Who nieanreathe sin,
May His mantled mercy
Shield till of our kin.
KO DEATHl
There is no death! "ftie dust wa trend
Shall change beneath the snmrner shower,
to golden grain or mellow fruit,
Or Tainbow-tiated flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize,
To feed tho hungry mo.-s they bear!
The frost leaves daily lifo
From out the viewless air.
There is no death! The leaves may fall,
The flowers may fado and pasa away--
Tbey only waitthrough wintery hours,
Ti e coming ot the M;ty.
There is no death! An angel form
Walks o'er the earth with silent tread;
He bears our loved things away,
And then we call them "dead."
lie loaves our hearts oil desolate
He plucks our faireft. sweetest flowers,
Transplanted into bl'ss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The Mrd-like voico whoe joyous tonos
Make glad these scones of woe and strife,
Sing now in everlasting song
Amid the tree of life!
.And where He ces a smile too bright,
Or hearts to" pure for taiut or vice,
lie bears it to that world of light
To dwell in raradise.
Torn in thatundjing lifo
TLey leavens but to come aga-.n?
With joy we welcome them--tho came,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near tie, though unseen,
The dear, immcrtal iiits tread,
O'er all the boundless Universe
Is life There is no dead!
St Patbick's Body Found. While the
wotkmen engxgaed in the renovation of St
Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin the oldest
church in Ireland were diggioz op a por
tion of the flooring in one of the aisle?, they
discovered a large stone oka of curious
workmanship, buried a few leet balow the
surface- The ei-ffin, when opened was
found to contain a skeleton of an ecclesias
tic supposed to have been buried there six
hundred year! The skull was perfect, and
the bones crumbled into dust when expos
ed to the air. Oo the lid of the coffin there
was a full length figure of a bishop in his
robes. It was inspected by some antiquar
ians, including Dr. Todd, who expressed it
as bis belief tbat it was the on-.oal founder
or the church. St. Patrick. It was in -ood
rre.ervalion. and it is in every respect a
n..L iulerealioe relic. When toe cburcn
U finished it w.ll be placed in a most prom
iueut portion, because there jj no more re
markable antiq-iity in tn builimg.
Constant motion is a great law of nature,
nothing being 6tatiouary except pen, ink
and paper.

A Heart Crushed Not Broken AH !
A face pure as a seraphic dream, and aa
lovely, was pressed against the window, and
the moon's rays robed her form'n a garment
of silver light. There she stood, the im
personation of the beautiful, a seeming
earth -star, shedding holy calmness through
the walks of life, as the planetary orbs that
meekly glowed in the far-off firmament.
What happiness must ba hers! And yet
those tears which course, like silver drops
on the lily, adown ber cheek, and the
fragrant bosom, heaving from the inner tu
mult of the soul, evince no character of joy.
Can the grim shadow of grief have passed
in darkress over so bright a temple of hu
man beauty? Alas! it has. The burning
,uceuse OI D,1ES bas wasted, and the bright
flame grown partially extinguished in the
gathering a.-hes. Our fairest dreams have
the most terrible awakings, and with her, j
the cherub-god, rosy-winged love, who I
came enveloped in flowers and rainbows, has
left his wound and sent the healio balm. 1
Tears are the mournful tribute which she
pays to her artful conqueror tears indeed
through orbs which like hers, kind Heaven
made not to wet p.
S:x months agone, the nun-like moon as
now held religious watch in the cloisters of
the sky, and beneath its softened beams
falling like angel prayers, glided the pure
beirg, who weeps how, with a spring of
smiles that were answered back by a hand
some l!p which breathed in the holy still
jo ers, vowj of lasting love. She the sweet
j infection caught; and the flattery of a world
j ly tongue, and the temporary fondness
: which intellectual beauty ever will inspire,
j dormant though auction be, she mistook
for the re-kindling of the sacred firo which
j heaven-lit burned deeply in her iunoceot
bosom. She loved with a woman's strong
and holy love, never dreaming of aught but
rec?; r.c.ttion.
Days and weeks sped on in oue happy
round of pleasure. He, to whom &h had
giveu her entire heart, not wholly asked.

bodingi o'er her mind, absorbed by hitn , and
only him; or if it di.' 'twas ushered on by
the gay pinions of fairy hope, crowned with
a diadern :mrnortal.
But change came, a bitter change not all
at once, but breaking as the tempest from
the cloud, growing in its progress more and
more fearful. The color of novelty with
him had worn away, and she had lost the
witching charms that thought of conquest
gave, in his too icy heart. lie remembered
her, perhaps, as a happy vision which he
could not, would not fully realize.
Night after night, when the moon beamed
as of old, she watched, and all the joy she
or.ee so wildly felt, was turned to pair.;
while her bitter tears chase, like liquid
pearl, each other down in gay companion
j ship, and other initiatory loves as vain, be
forge's the past. Ilia was but the murmur

But the stream of her affections ruth lost its

fj7"In commenting upon the remarks of
the Cincinnati Commercial concerning the
late arbitrary arrests in Kentucky, Dr. Jno.
McEIwee, the able and fearless editor of the
Hamilton True Telegraph, says:
"But by the Shades beneath us and by
the Gods above," any attempt made to ar
rest a citizen ot this county, arbitrarily and
in defiance of law, will be resisted with all
the means that God and nature possessed
ns. If the hour his at last arrived when we
are to understand from the Administration
tbat liberty consists in no longer rever
encing either the laws or tbe authority,"
then have we only the choice of submission
or resistance. With a forethought we pro
nounce for the latter. Upon the heads of
those who counsel these proceedings fall the
terrible consequeuces that will como as the
day comes after the night. We have clung
to our liberties in the past with a devotion
that adversity and pow er shall not make us
forego in the present; and if we are forced
to the last resort the stern arbitrament of
the sword think you we will not cast
Iiohtl? into the issue all we have of proper
tv and life. We will not question your
right to speak freely upon all political issues
sbmitte.! to vour consideration, and you
fcba.'i not deprive us of ours. The preserva
tion of uubiic peace is in your keeping, aud
it custodians vou will be held to a strict
accountability.
Why is the bridegroom worth more than
the bride? Because ehe is given away and
be is sold.
Artemus Ward's Opinion,
The stood en t aDd connyseer must have
noticed and admired in various parts of the
United States of America, large yeller hand
bills, which not only air gems of art in their
selvns, but they troothfully sit forth the at
tractions of my show a show, let me here
observe, that contains many Hyin wild an
imils, every one of which has got a Beautiful
Moral. Them handbils is sculpt in New
York, aod I annoolly repair here to git more
on um; and bein here I tho't I'd issoo a Ad
dress to the public on mutters and things.
Since I last mevandered these streets. I
have bin all over the Pacific SloDes and
Utah. I cum back now, with my virtue
unimpaired, but I've got to git some Dew
clothes.
Many changes ha9 taken place, even durin
my short absence, & sum on um if Solium
to contemplate. The house in Varveck
street, where I used to board is bein torn
down. That house, which was rendered
memoriable by my livin into it, is'parsin
away! parsin away!' But some of the tim
bers will be made into canes, which will be
sold to my admirers at the low price of one
dollar each. In the New World it is war
in World Empires is totterin A Dy sentaries
is crumblin. These canes is cheap at a
dollar.
Sammy booth, Duane street, sculps my
handbils, and he's a artist. He studied in
Rome State of New York.
I'm here to read tbe proof Eheets of my
handbills as fast as they are sculpt. You
have to watch these ero printers pretty close,
for they're jest as apt to spell a wurd wroog
as anybow.
But I have time to look round some and
how do I find things? I return to the At
lantic States after a absence of six months,
& what State do I find the country in'
Why, I don't know what State I find it in.
Suflice it to say that I do not find it in the
State of Np w J ersey.
I find some things that is cheerin, partie'ly
the resolve on the part of the wimin of
America to stop wear'n forrin goods.
I never meddle with my wife's things,
she may wear muslin from Greenland's icy
mountains, and bombazeen from Injy's coral
strands, if she waots to; but I am glad to
state that that superior woman has peeled
off all ber furrin ciotbes and jurapt into fab
ricks of domestic manufactur.
But, says some folks, if you stop importin
things you stop the Revenoo. That's all
r:u!j t. We can stand it if the Rxrenoo can.
On the same principle young men should
continer to get drunk oo French brandy and
to make the.r lives as dry as a corn cob with
Cuby cigsrs, because 4 sooth if they don't it
will hurt the Revenoo! This talk bout the
Rvenoo is all bosh, boshy. One thing is
tol'b'y certain, if we dan'tsend gold out of
the country wo shall have the conso'.Ation
of knowing that it is in tho country. So I
say great credit is doo the wiman for this
patriotic move and to tell the trooth, the
wimiu generally know what they're about.
Of all the blessens they're the soothinist.
If they'd never bio any wimen, where'd my
children bin to-day?
But I hope this move will lead to other
moves that are just as much uoo-ie l, one of
which is genenl and therrer curtainment of
expenses aM round. Tbe fact is, we are
gelliu ter'bly extravagant & on less we paws
in our mad creer, in less than twoyearsthw
goddess of liberty will be seen d"dgiu into a
Pawn Broker's shop with tho ot ler gown
done up in a bundle, even if she dou't have
to SpouC the gold st irs in her head band.
Let us all take bold jiully who know'd
moreo we do, if they waut quite so honest!

I venturto say that if you sarch Golle
miJhty's lootstool all over with a ten hoss
power mikroscop. you wouldn't be able to
find such another pack of poppycock gab
blers as the present Congress of tbe United,
States of America.
Gentlemen of the Senit & of the House
you've sot there ond draw'd your pay and
made summer complaiut speeches long
enuff. The country at large, includin the
undersigned, is disgusted with you. Why
don't you show us a statesman some body
who can make a epeecd that will hit the
poplar hart right under the Great Public
wes-kit? Why don't you show us a states
man who can rise up to the Kmergency, and
cave in the Emergency's head?
Congress, you won't do. Go home, yoa
mizzerable devils go home!
At a special Congressional 'lection in my
district the other day, I delib'ritely voted
for Henry Clay. I admit that Henry is
dead, but inasmuch as we don't seem to
have a live statesman in our National Con
gress, let us by all means have a first class
corpse.
Them who think that a cane made fiom
tho timbers of the honse I once boarded in
is essential to their happiness, should not
delay about sendin tbe money right on for

And now, with a genuine hnrrar for the
wimmin who are goin to abandon furrin
goods, and another for the patriotic every
wheres.I'll leave public matters and indulge
in a little family gossip.

It was U p. m., when I reached my home
stid and knockt a healthy knock on tbe door
thereof. .
A nihtcap thrust itself out of the rront
chamber winder. (It was my Betsy's night-
cap.) And a voice said:
Who is it?' . .
It's a man!' I answered in a gruff vo:s.
'I don't beleeve it!' sne said.
'Then come down and search me, I re

Then resumin my nat'ral voice, I said : 'It

'Ob,' ea d she, 'it's you, is it? I thought
I smelt something.
But the old girl waa g;lad to see mo.
In the mornin I found that my family
were entertainin a artist from Philadelphy,
who was there paintin some startlin water
falls and mountains, and I raorin snspected
he had a hankerin for my oldest dauter.
'Mr. Skimmerhorn, father, said my
daughter.
'Glad to see you, sir,' I replied in a hos
pittle vois, 'glad to see you.'
He is an artist, father sed my child.
'A whichist?'
'An artist a painter.
And glazier?" I askt. 'Are you a painter
and glazier, eh?'

It's a wonder to me said mv wif W
some body don't secure him with a chain.
After breakfast I went over to town to see
my old friends. The editor of the Bule
greeted me cordyully, and showed me the
foilerin article he'd just written about the
paper on the other side of the street.
'We hive recently put up io our office an

'That.' says the editor, hits him whar he

A few days after my return, I was shown

Nominate a Peace Candidate. The
yearning of the great public heart is for
peace; and the hopes of teus of thousands
who never voted a Democratic ticket are
that tho Chicago Convention will nominate
candidates who are for peace on honorable
terms. A Rapublican, writing from Mc
Grcoor, Iowa, to the Chicago Times, says:
"The present aspect of our national affairs
has tended to make many Republicans de
nounco in bitter terms our present Atn inis
trition. I refer to tho peace propositions
which were rejected by our Government,
when the only hope of conservative men lo
put an end to this unholy war is by peace
propositions. It has tended greatly to
change the minds of the I ival men that tho
cause lor which we are fighting is not for the
welfare of our Government. In speaking
thus I think I cia sately siy I am express
ing the views of one hundred Republican
voters in this voting precinct. We there
fore ask of the C.'iicaso Convention to adopt
a peace upon honorable terms. Aud I think
I can sa'eiy say that the conservative Re
publicans of Northern Ijwi. who have the
the Welfare of their country at heart, will
adopt and labor for the electiou of such a
candidate for the Presidencv."
Tue Modisu Cuukchks. Vuojver thinks
that :t fashionable church is not a place for
profitable reflection, is greatly mistakeu.
Nowhere else, except at the opera, does on
experience such a realizing sense of the
pomps and vanities of the world. The luxur
ious carriagas with their hveriod attendants
outside, the gay costumes cf the worshipers
within, give point to the services and the
eormon. Exhortations to be meek and
towly of heart, to despise the shows and
guads of this transitory world, to place no
trust in riches, to take no thought of things to
wear to be content, like the lilies of the field,
without meretricious adornments, to culti
vate thaUuristiau graces and fiht the good
fight heartily agiinstali carnal temptations,
come homo to one's spirit with wouderful
force in the midst of cashmere shawls, real
lace, parterres of French flowers, and all the
et ceters which fashion brings to church as if
to illustrate the meaning of the Scripture
passages levelled at worldly pride. Poor peo
pie who have nothing at home that can give
them any just idea of the vanity of riches,
obtain much light upon the subject at a
fashionable place of worship, and it is to be
regretted that more seats are not provided
f.,r them at such places, s that they might
visit them in greater numbers, ai.d under
stand as a class the nature of the temptations
with which wealthy piety is beset. As
they coutemplato with uncovetous eyes the
sumptuary splendors upon which their hum
ble garments seem like a blot, how comfort
able the thought that they are protected by
their poverty iron the lika sinful extrava
gance. There can be little doubt that it
would promote the spiritual welfare of the
indigent, to attend the most fashionable
churches in the city every Sunday morning.
Circumstantial Evidence. I have
heard some very extraordinary cases of mur
der tried. I remember in one where I was
counsel; for a long time the evidence did
not appear lo touch the prisoner at all, aud
he looked about him with tbe most pet feet
unconcern, seeming to think himself quite
safe. At last the surgeon was called, who
stated that tha dsceised Lad been killed by
a shot., in the neaa, ana he produced tbe
matted hair and stuff cut from and taken
oat of the wound. It was all hardened with
blood. A basin of warm water was brought
into court, and as the blood was gradually
softened, a piece of printed paper appeared
the wadding of tho ilti -vhich proved to
bo half of a bdiad. Tna otuer half had
been fouud u tue ma j's pocket. Tue man
was hung.
The possession of wit often gives aman

Praise your Wife
Praise your wife, man; for pity sake give
her a little encouragemement; it won't hurt
her, she made borne comfortable, your
health bright and shining, your food agree
able for pity's sake tell her you thank her,
if nothing else." She don't expect it will
make her eyes open wider the9e ten years
but it will do her good for all that and yorf
too.
There are many women to-day thirsting
for the words of praise, the language for en
couragement. Through summer's beat
through winters cold, have drudged un
complainingly and so accustomed have their
fathers brothers and husband become to
their monotonous labors tbat they look for
and upon them ns they do the daily rising
of the sua and itsdaily going down. Home
every day may be made beautiful by an ap
preciation of its holiness. You know that,
if the floor is clean, manual labor has been
performed to make it so. You know if you
can take Irom your drawer a clean shirt
whenever you want it. that somebody's da.
gers have ached in tho toil of making it so
fresh and agreeable, so smooth aud lustrous.
Everything that pleases the eye and the
sensa has been produced by constant work,
much thought, great care, and untiring ef
forts bodily and mentally. JJ
It is not that many men do not appreci
ate these things and a glow of gratitude for
tha number less attentions bestowed upon
them in sickness and in health, but thev
don't come out with a hearty. Why, how
pleasant you make things look, wife! or I am
obiigod to you for taking so much painsl
They thank tho tailor for giving them fits,
they thank a man in a full omnibus who
gives them a seat, they thank a young lady
who moves about in the concert room in
short, they thank everything out of door?,
because it is the custom, and come home,
tip their chair back and their heels up, pull
out tho newspaper, grumble if their wife
asks them to take the baby, scold if tho
fire has gono dowu, or if everything is just
right, shut their mouths with a smack of
satisfaction, but never say, I thank you.
I tell you what men, young and old, if
you did bntshow an ordinary civility to
ward the oomm n articles of housekeeping,
your wives, if you would give them the
h'undreth and sixteenth part of the compli
ments you almost choked them with be
fore you wore married, fewer women would
seek for other sources of affection. Praise
your wife then for all the good qualities she
has and you may rest assured that her de
ficiencies are fully counterbalanced by our
own.

There has been conciderabla joking upon
the words 'raising of muslin,' but it has now
got so high that thoso words are about
played out and people who don't want to
whitewash and go naked, will be compel
led to raise something else. Unbleached
muslin are selling at75 cents io New York.
During the latter pari of last week there
was a grand rush at the slores for cotton
goods, in the faar that there might be still
more extravagant advances. It will not bo
long till it will take a poor man two days
work to get a yard of muslin. By this
time the brains of the people should begin
to act. They were paralysed for a while,
but time enough has elapsed for the think
ing substance to recover. Under the old
Democratic rule everything was choap and
times were prosperous. War is the cause of
hard times and high prices. Stop the war,
blot out debt and in two years Democracy
can bring back prosperity. If you want
shirts, vote the Democrat ticket. If you
dou't vote right, you will show you a shift
less fellow, aod your wife will bs pretty
much iu tbe same fix.
"When Roqdes Fall Out," &c. A
lively quarrel has sprung up among the
managers of the Sanitary Fair, recently
held in Wheeling, in regard to a "division
of tbe spoils." It leaks out that a few of
managers appropriated the proceeds to their
own usa, instead of applying it for the ben
efit of the Sanitary Commission. This is
about the way Sanitary Fairs have been
managed all over tho country Tha man
agers generally take the "lion's share."
What a graceless set of scamps these exces
sively "loyal" fellows are. Somo of them
are mean enough to steal the last stick of
caudy from a sick nigger baby.
"Thank you!" W nat musio mere is in
these words when uttered by a pretty wo
man. They touch a man's h oart-strings as
the fingers of some fairy musician touch the
striegsof his harp. "Thauk you!" she says,
and you are happy. Perpaps the favor ex
teuded has been only slight no inconven
jdUCe or trouble to you a mere'exhibitior
of politeness on your part. You look up; a
radiant smile beams upon you a bright
twinkle of the eye, and the lips open to the
unfolding of a rose, and the worlds "thank

Those words are more sweet to you than
honey, mora precious than tbe wealth of
India. Reader should yoa ever see a lady
iu need of your courtesy, extend it tojher
be kind and good to her as you would to
your sist9r aud if you look for your reward
you will find it in ber.

Aaron Burr's Home Discipline. -The)
ill-fated daughter of Aaron Burt was uni
versally regarded as one of the noblest and
most accomplished7 women of her time.
He trained her in a stoical school. Ha did
not believe in bringing rip children to lux
urious habits, even when they might count
on an ample inheritance. Strong' character.
I he thought, could only be formed by habit
of self-denial and self-control. His plan of
training' is worthy of consideration iu oar
age, as given in the August number of Ham
per's Magazine:
"Burr was a stoic. He cultivated hard
ness. Fortitude and fidelity were his fa

So, at the dawn of a career which.' prom

rounded by all t'le appliances of ease and
pleasure, he was anxiou3 to teach his child:
to do and to endure. He would have her
accustomed to sleep alone, and to go abodt
the house in the dark. Her breakfast was;
of bread and milk. He was resolute in ex
acting the less agreeable tasks, such as arith

Upon going away for a journey he would
leave written orders for the tutors, detailing
the employments' of each day,' and during
his absence a chief topic of his letters was

is the best evidence of it. It ensures, in it,
