February 7, 1865 6 5t 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 ed out of oue vessel into another.

The offi cers are sent North, and the privates and others to Ship Island. The Yankees say this is all owing to the peculiar cookery of the ladies of the Crescent City who be ing permitted to fera the prisoners, occa sionally sent them such exquisite dishes of season of (pie* hatchet pudding, rope-cobbler, chisel-potpic, screwdriver ketchup, ect, that no bricks or bars iu town could hold them when the “vituals” commenced wor king. Though the efforts of the fair reb els in behalf of the prisoners have thus re sulted in their banishment to crnol places (for, even if close -kept within the solidest walie, it must still be a punishment to be removed from tbe vicinity of such angles,) who can blame them? Theresult was not to be foreseen.

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 ders ! Ah, I have followed wicked advice, j 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 know it.” 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 damned !” He‘was exhorted to ask mer cy of God, but he roared out., "It is now too late, for I have maliciously sought the death of many godly persons, and tbatjj- 16 !’ baked cakes, gave her a nice large against my own conscience, and therefore fflece. ure,. a to a me ed : “What could you mean ?

J “^Hmsieur B. is not at h<Pfc*T -He dines ] down town to-day.” j “Ah ! very well ! But I forgot my great ' coat yesterday—I must ask the servant for it: and darting across the threshold and up the staircase he - knocked. Tho door was opened—the unexpected apparition. "Your porter is a booby,” said Vivier gaily. “He pretended that you bad gone out, but • a kae*v that he was mistaken. But what i mgfaees? Has anything happened? Any accident, any misfortune might be confided to him.” At last, at the dessert, he burst into a fit of laughter aud said, "I know what is the matter and what troubles you. It is your invitation, so cordially made aud so literally accepted. I thought that I would make the trial, suspecting that you would not endure me long. To-day you shut the door against me, and to-mor row if I should return, you would perhaps throw ine out of the window. But you will not catch me here. I wish you a very good evening.” 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. f Westminister Review. it is now too late.”—Soldiers Visitor.

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.

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 which vou may fill your old blacking box es.

The Best is Left.—“I am fallen,” said a Christian philosopher, into the hands of publicans and seqaestators, and they have taken all from me. Now what 1 Let me look about me. They have left me sun and moon, fire and water, a loving wife, aud many friends to pity me, and I can discourse ; aud, unless I list, they have not taken av/ay my merry countenance, and ray cheerful spirits, and* a good conn science. They have still left me tbe prov idence of God, and all the promises of the gospel, and my religion, and my hopes of Heaven, and my charity too. Anti still I sleep, and digest, and eat, and di’ink; 1 read and meditate; I can walk in my neighbor’s pleasant fields, and see the va rieties of natural beauties, and delight's; that is, la virtue and wisdom, in tbe whol'f creation, and in God himself.” When Aristotle was asked what were the advantages of fearing, he replied, "it is an ornameut to a men in posterity, end a refuge in adversity.” and does no injury to number of my neighbors are usin Hall’s Journal of Health, ci*i • be high authority in medical scien<- , .as ta ken astand against married people -leaping together, but thinks they had better sleep in adjoining rooms. It says that Kings and Queens do not sleep together, and why should other people ? Think of the idea of separating a newly msrried couple, ou a cold winter’s night, because Hall’s Jour nal of Health says so! Sorrow comes soon enough without des pondency ; it does a man good to carry around a lightning rod to attract trouble* Books, whilst they are a refuge from tba world, gives new views of life, and teach, ns how to look npon mankind. From the Meridian Clarion, fieap—A rateat Claimed. 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 fit our people, and thus Z will bo quite paid for this. Let some other person test it and then circulate the result. A Einictt or Mai ’63. A MEW-8EW*IMTJflEIT.
