Plain Rhyme to “Jennie.’
A year has passed and quickly fled,
And Jennie yet remains unwed ;
Altho’ she tells us frank and free
That she a bride would like to be,
Though in plain words she too has said
She would be careful whom she wed ;
Tot, she has beaux—both great and Bin;,11,
Both thick and slender, short and tail :
But all of these she passes by,
For none of them can take her eye,
In each of whom she faults can see—
So they ne’er shall her husband be :
But still, she don’t expect to find
A faultless form, a spotless mind :
For she has found or learned io know
That none are perfect here below.
Though yet she stili^iopcs that she may
Find a young gentleman ; ome day
To suit her taste, that’s rather talf,
With but few faults, and those faults small.
For handsome looks she does not care,
Nor riches wish a double share ;—
But v.hat alia wants is a true heart,
A man to act a husband’s part.
Now, Jennie, I shall speak my mind—
To gain your love, I am inclined.
The last few years, I’ve sought a wife
To soothe my cares—to bless my life ;
I’ve looked around both far and near,
But none to suit me did appear.
Although fair dames of every size
I saw where’er I turned my eyes.
And many teo, surpatiing- fair,
With eyes aivine, and curling hair :
Richly dressed with modest graces,
Polite airs, and smiling faces :
All tried to act perfection .’ part,
But oh ! I feared they wanted heart,
Iu some of them I plainly see
The strongest proofs of vanity,
Some have their hearts in looks and faces—
Others in lich and costly dresses,
And thus I thought it would be well -
For me to pass each gay young belle,
And see if yet I could not fhnY
A feeling, a thinking mind.
Jennie, I think I’d find-in you
A noble heart most kind and true :
And if you my hand will take,
I’ll leave all others for your sake,
And promise ever to be to you
A husband good, and kind, and-truo.
I have some faults, I must confess—
(You may not find one who hasJess,)
No more on this will I now say ;
I’ll leave it to some future day,
All that I want now, is to know
If Jennie will say Yrs cr No t

Prisoners in this section of countiy are

others to Ship Island. The Yankees say
this is all owing to the peculiar cookery
of the ladies of the Crescent City who be

Whereas Edward Perry has applied to me for
Remorse and Despair.—Charles IX,
of France, was a modem Nero, as the
memorable St. Bartholomew’s massacre,
conducted under his auspices can testify.
The day after the butchery of thirty thou
sand Huguenots, he observed several fu
gitives about his palace, and taking a fowl
ing piece fired on them repeatedly. Was
it strange that he died in peculiar horror ?
“What blood,” he cried out, "what mur

O, my God ! pardon me and bo merciful, I
I know not where I am, 1 am so perplex- I
ed and agitated. How will all this end ? j
What shall I do ? I am lost forever; I i

During the Papist persecution in Hng- j
laud, one. Rockwood, distinguished him- j
self for his busy malignity, and in his last |
sickness he fell to raving, "I am utter!v

“He pretended that you bad gone out, but

to him.” At last, at the dessert, he burst

The Beggar Woman.
A I’ARABLE.
Once in a time of famine an unknown
beggar woman, poorly but cleanly clad,
Vent through a certain village asking
alums. From some houses she was sent
sway with rough words ; at another she
received a very small gift; only one poor
kardener, as she was very cold, invited her
in Lis warm room and hia wife, who had
sequent dilutiou of any malignant gases it
may contain,and it is of course the air of tbe
room, aud that alone which comes in con
tact with the lungs of" the person sleepiug.

Tffe next day all the people at whose

Battue with Electric Eels.—The
marshes and standing waters near Cal
abooza and the Orinoco are filled with
electric eels. It is difficult to catch the
eels with common fishing nets, as they bu
ry themselves in the mud. The Indians
fish for them with horses and mules, which
are driven into the water. The noise occa
sioned by the stamping of the horses drives
the eels out of the slime and irritates them;
they swim on the surfaee of the water and
press themselves against the belly of the
mules aud horses. A strange combat now
begins; tbe Indians, provided with long
thiu bamboo canes,encircle the ditch, some
clime the trees whose branches extend hori
zootally over the water. By wild screams,
threats with their long canes, they prevent
the horses from coming ashore and esca
ping. The eels terrified by the noise, de
fend themselves by the repeated discharge
of their electric forces. It seems for a
time as if they would carry off the victory
over the horses, for many of the latter suc
cumb to the force of the , invisible electric
blows, which the eel gives on the belly,
the most sensitive part, and they sink be*>
low the water overcomeby the shocks. If
one escaping from the shocks of tbe electric
eel reaches theland itfalls atevery step.and
sinks down on the sand faint and exhaus
ted. I11 the first five minutes, two horses
were already drowned. The eel, which is
five feet long, presses against the belly ol
the horse and discharges its electricity
along the whole length, which stun the
abdomeu, entrals and heart of the horse.
The Iudians maintain that if the horses
were driven into tbe water of electric eels
for two consecutive days, none would die
the second day. The eels now timidly
approach the shore, where they were
caught with little harpoons attached to
long ropes. If tbe ropes were perfectly
dry no electricity was felt while hauling
out the fish, but it was communicated
through »\be wet ropes.—Humboli.
Valuable Receipts—A correspondent
sends tbe Lynchhurg Republican the fol«
lowing receipts for dying purple and for
making Confederate blacking and ink.—
We hope our frieuds in this quarter will
give them a trial. Our correspondent
writes: "I see you are publishing many
valuable receipts. We have tried your
pokeberry and vinegar; it is a beautiful
durable scarlet. Let me give one or two
which I and many in this neighborhood
have tried—To die purple—cut a pumpkin
so as to form a lid, take out the inside and
fill with white yarn hanks or wool and
pokeberry juice, set iu a warm place till
formentation takes place, wash out in soap,
and you have a beautiful roval purple in-
dellible. Tbe fermentatiou sets the dies
aud will take place in 8 or 10 days by the
kitchen fire. Confederate blacking and
ink—(excellent) Take elder berries and set
them away in a tub of w^ter fn a cool
place till they ferment, strain through a
cloth or squeeze them out and boil down
to the consistency of ink; boil still more
and you have a fine liquid blacking; boil
still longer aud yon have a paste with

look about me. They have left me sun

discourse ; aud, unless I list, they have
not taken av/ay my merry countenance,

gospel, and my religion, and my hopes of
Heaven, and my charity too. Anti still I

From the Meridian Clarion,

If.no one has ma<le the discovery and procured
a patent I hereby claim one for making soap.
I hereby give the benefit of the same to the Clari
on office.
This morning my attention was called to a pot of
ley hominy by my houaenoman—too mnch water
to get meal, and we have to subsist on ley hominy-
a£ each times—I called the cook and directed the
com to be taken and tbe ley saved, first trying it
and finding it to be better soap than I have paid
two dollars a pound for.
I learn there Was near three pecks of com an«^
abont thirty quarts of strong ley, and it boiled for
four hours. The hominy is at this moment nader-
coin? a cleaning to be eaten to-morrow. This is
no joke, and I think the man -who talked oS mak-
ing soap from shucks, meant com. We have elev
en quarts of better soap than some of our hard eas
es would have charged me full forty dollars for,
and the hominy made.
If I am not in error this is a blessing in these
times when grease is scaree. I hope it may bene
