The evening breeze is singfng low A lullaby to-day, I have a question I would ask Before it dies away. The pebbles on the beach are dry, The tide has sunken low; A little form is standing there Between the ebb and flow. A tangled mass of soft brown hair. Two eyes cast meekly down, A little face the sun has kissed, Two cheeks a little brown; Two little lips that pout and says, “I do not think I know,” Two little lips that tell a fib, Between the ebb and flow. A little heart that longing waits To know what next ’twill hear, A little face that shyly looks Tos b if still I'm Ah! little heart that whispered ‘•Yea,” Though pouting lips said “No,” You thought tb&t you'd ba asked agait Between the ebb and flow. A little face half-frightened, when I turn to go away, Two little handa that slyly reach As if to bid me stay; A little voice that softly says, 1 did not mean that “No;” A little pride that well was lost, Between the ebb and flow.

Where dismaying dangers thicken; Prompt to do and brave to dare, Our heroic band is there. Wreathe the cedar with the vine, Laurel with the holly twine ; Arch tho wfndow, drape the wall.

A Cbattik on Kissbs.—When a lark attempts to steal a kiss from a Nantucket girl, slie says, “Come, sheer off, split your mainsail with a typhoon.”— The Boston girls hold still nntill they are well kissed, when they flare up and say, T think you ought to be ashamed.”— When a chap steals a kiss from an Ala bama girl she says, “I reckon it’s my time now,” and gives him a box on the ear that lie don’t forget in a week. When a clever fellow steals a kiss from a Louisi- girl, she smiles, blushes deeply, aud says nothing. When a mnn is smart enough to steal this divine luxury from them, they are perfectly satisfied. In Lynn, Massachusetts, when a female is saluted with a buss, she puts on her bon net and shawl, and answereth thus: “I astonished at thy assurance, Jebediah ; for this indignity I will sew thee up.”— New York ladies receive a salute with Christiau meekness ; they follow the Scripture rule, when Muitteu cheek,|they turn the other also.— And when a Bergin girl get* kissed she veiy calmly replied, “Hans, dat iah good.” The manufacture of garters and sus penders is a business of greater magni tude than is generally supposed. Two factories—one at Waterbury, Conn., and the other at East Hampton, Mass.,—! each a capitol of $300,000, and produce about $2,000,000 each per annum. Their suspender production alone is five hum drod dozens per day each. There aboat one hundred similar manufacturers of suspenders whose average daily make is from twenty to one hundred dozens.— The ranging sale of suspenders is sixty cents per pair, and garters eighty-five cents. The highest cost suspenders fifteen dollars per pair ; high cost garters begin at fifteen dollars. The latest nov elty in the line of ladies* garters are broad velvet bauds, heavily fringed and gilt mounted. OLD BOB CABS0N. A Reminiscence of the Mexican War. This celebrated monntaiueer and trap per yet lives oa the Missouri liver, ncai the town of Arrow Hock ; is hale, ttout and hearty. He is full of anecdotes, ant. gives, ns many hair-breadth escapes from mountain storms and Indian fights. He says the last tight place he got iut« *s m the year 1845, during the Mexican war. The Mexicans were committing depredations of all kinds, and had stolen some of oar Goverment horses and mules. Capt. Price—ofterwafd General Sterling Price—was in command of a company of United Sfates volunteers, who were ever ready for a scout or fight. He was or dered to make a detail of twelve of his best men and send them iu search of the stolen property. Twelve choice and well tried men were chosen. Then came the query who is able and willing to take command of this squad ? It mu^t be l who can talk with the differ ent Indian tribes through which they may have to pass in pursuit of the Mexi- Luckily for the squad, at that moment Bob Carson rode up, well mounted on his favorite hunting horse Leo. A shout from the twelve brave men bid him wel come ; their object stated and requesting him to take command. Nothing suited Carson better than this. He told Capt. Price that he could fol low a cold trail as fast os any living man could, and to give himself no uneasiness, that he would bring his twelve men back and not lose a scalp. The sequel shows how be succeeded. The second day out they struck the trail; late in the evening they saw in the distance a large party of Indians, and as they were on friendly terms with the dif ferent tribes, Carson and his band hur ried to overtake them, hoping to gain some information concerning the stock. The Indians saw them approaching and halted for them to come up. As Carson andf liis men ’ came niglier, his keen eye discovered they were on the war-patb, bnt knowing no fear,|he rode np, and the Indians, 1,400 strong, closed wings and completely surrounded them. Sandivere, the chief, rode np to Carson exclaiming : *• Y'eds tedoly ”—yon are my prisoners. Carson, after questioning the chief short time, found that they were also pursuit of lost stock, stolen, as they co sidered, by the United States troops. The Mexicans had told him this tale to screen themselves. Bnt all of his intrigne could not induce Sandivere to release him and his twelve men. The next morning the old chief c< enced making preparations to shoot alpjiis prisoners. Carson called him aside for a talk, and finally persuaded him to send one of the i>«t runners to Capt. Price’s camp, and if things were not found just as represented, that fourth day from the departure of said runner at 12 o’clock, he might do with his prisoners as lie pleased. The runner started. Carson and his men ; sanguine that everything would prove satisfactory to the chief, remained ns prisoners, cheer ful and happy. On the morning of the fourth day all were momentarily expecting the runner to appear. Ten o’clock came, and runner in sight; eleven, and no runner in sight Everything in camp was citement andjeoramotion. Sandivere certain his runDer had been foully dealt with, and in his anger made preparation! for summary vengeance. Twelve o’clock, and no runner in sight as far as the eye conld reach. Carson thought his hour had come, preparations were made; and, well know- the terms would be complied with, he called Sandivere and told h m he would like to have a talk with him before he aud his men were shot. Carson and Sandivere commenced their talk, Carson the meantime, walking slowly and leis urely from the camp, telling the chief that the horses, saddles, blankets, etc. all donated or willed to him, and that he was not compelled, on account of this donation, to divide them among his warriors. The chief was much interested and pleased with this donation, and by this time they were eighty to one hundred yards from the Indian camp, when Car- 1, with the dexterity of an old moun taineer, palled from his boot-leg an ugly looking holster pistol, cocked and pre sented directly in the face of the old chief, exclaiming: Stand, sir ! you are my prisoner What do yon mean ? ” asked Sand BA. For the benefit of our fashionable young men who like to do tbeae things in style, we will state that fashion gossip ha- it, that, in pausing a lady on the street, the hat should be rawed, during the present season, with the left hand, the little finger and thumb to be placed under the rim, and in bowing to incline a little to the left, not aaite so low as formerly, looking the while ss sweet as sweet aslafiseapandy. . i( The Lone Horseman.” It was nearly 5 o’clock, p. m., on the 30th August, 1862. The second great battle of Manassas was raging with nn- barred, terrible fury. The last reserves either side had been ordered to the front, and the struggle was stubborn, leadly, desperate. The Federals were .lowly, sullenly giving away, disputing every inch of ground. One unbroken blaze of lurid light, sheeting the interval between the opposing hoarse thunder of artillery, the ringing clash of sabres, the piteous shrieks of the dying, the grim hecatombs of the dead, proclaimed the dread empire of Moloch. Far into the enemies lines, as you ap- \ reached from the Gainsulle road, ou probably the most advantageous elevation for military purposes the battle field af forded, wus planted a battery supported liy five regiments of the United States Regulars, commanded by Fitz John Por- A murderous fire wus poured into the advancing columns of the Confed erates from these awful engines of de struction-gaping lanes causewayed with dead and wounded, marked the track of the bursting shells—scores of brave Southrons fell at every vollied utterance. The supporting regiments, covered by the crest of the hill, watched with pleased anxiety tho red carnival of slaughter. A Confederate officer—and the only mounted one I saw as far to the front— observing the dreadful carnage the batte- working, determines to charge it— With him to vill is to do, and to do quick ly. He gives the order, and immediately may be seen to emergo from a pine thick- single regiment of men, blown by tho hot pursuit, worn with fatigue, and, but for the unoouquerablo spirit animating them, fainting from excessive heat, ag gravated by.the sulphurous thirst of the battle field. Is this mere handful of meu, unaided, to charge that frowning battery strongly Supported ? Is that solitary regiment to bo hurled against seven times numerical strength with every advantage of position, and plight, and the opposing side? Are its thinned ranks to breast the double lire of artillery and infantry with bayonets only, nd to grapple with tho veteran regulars of the Federal army ? Eveu so ! “The Lone Horseman” has ordered it, and he conducts the charge. Biding along the line, ho infuses into every breast the dar ing resolve which burns in his o\ heroic example is contagious, and inspires the noble phalanx with that energized unity of will, of constancy of courgage, of enthusiasm, of unselfish devotion which Napoleon’s Old Guard exemplified, and which made it the glory of France d the terror of Europe. Ou they rush vard the belching caunon, defiying umbers, ^fgepisiug danger, catting the austere glory of suffering’ in Liberty’ The base on tho hill is reached, and the perilous ascent begun. The c noniers, dismayed at the spectacle of matched daring, seek shelter behind the wall of bayouetts glistening like diamonds an behind the crest. With shout that makes the welkin ring’ the ii trepid band dash to-ward the summit— emulous of tho honor of reaching guns first Within a few paces of the fatal goal suddenly live hostile flags, flung defiantly to the breeze, confront them, while the whole hill-side bristles with its corps of armed meu. A tempest of leaden rail pours upon the devoted ranks, moving ii instant half their number ; still every n, not disabled, stands undaunted his post. Around the “Lone Horse- thousand bullets hail, but he wears a charmed life ; nor rider nor steed harmed. No reinforcements in sight, the order as given to fall back to a ravine two hundred yards io the rear. One well di rected tire repulses the only attempt to dislodge them, and the hill-side runs with the commingled blood of Federals and Confederates. At night, by a flank movement on the left, Juckson’s troops captured the battery. It was the 20th Georgia regiment that beat off the foe.— The Loue Horseman!’ was the gol.ant patriot, Henry L. Banning. place f quite c HAPPY MARRIAGES. Marriages are happy where they tako from pure love, between two per already thoroughly ac quainted with each other, and who are content with each other as they are. First, love must be the motive—Mar riages of convenience, as they are called, almost always turn out to be anything convenient, aud ou the contrary, ex ceedingly inconvenient If people marry for money, eveu if the money be obtained, the husband or wife taken with it, is of coarse, necessarily regarded merely us an incumbrance, to endured for the sake of their highly prized pecuniary acquisition. Then if chances that the coveted money be not received, or that it be subsequently lost, situation is still more deplorable, for the incumbrance alone remains without compensation calculated for its en durance, and becomes all the more unen durable. If people marry for what is called po- they marry for something which cannot bo obtuiued iu that wuy. A sound title position can only be got by merit. Never by matrimony. Secondly, buppy marriages can only place between people who are well acquainted, and who arc satisfied with other as they are. Young persons who are blinded by ; that their judgment is rendered torpid, who are unable to perceive each other’s fuults, and who marry in real [imaginary character, are soon sadly undeceived by the experience married life; and such matches most miserable. So of those who marry, not because satisfied with each other as they but who are quite confident of their ability to change the character of the person they wed. Such hopes prove de lusive. Do not be deceived by tho idea that you eau remould a character already consequence of assuming the matrimouiul relation. The probability that the objectionable or disagreea- qualities which you already perceive will increase, and not diminish after mar riage while the possibility of discover* always exists. These suggestions may be heeded with advantage by the endless procession tinuolly moving towards the gates of matrimony. each c love; form, and s they a “ I menu just what I say—if you move te inch you ore a dead man. ” The Indians seeing their chief ger, started to his rescue, bnt Carson told him to motion his men back, or he would shoot him on the spot Tho old chief well-knowing the man he had to deal with, instantly complied and motioned his back. Carson then told lnm to order up his twelve men with their horses just he received them, and Leo with them. This was instantly complied with. Carson then mounted the old chief be hind oue of his men and started f »r Capt. Price's camp, where Sandivere found things as represented by Carson. The runner had been there, but had lost the trail which had caused the delay. Capt. Price gave the chief many presents, and escorted him to hia tribe. He ever after wards was a true friend to the whites, and in many instances did very valuable service. Thus by the coolness, conning and downright bravery of Bob Carson this devoted band of twelve brave men were rescued from certain death. Parties right here who were with Carson at that time can vouch for the truth of the above statement. The Vetkban Pbinteb.—The Lei non Herald of the 20th says: Lost Sun day, the 16th of April, was a day of than ordinary interest to the pro prietors aud attacliees of this office, that day the venerable William Lawson Barry, who is now a compositor in this office, completed the ninety-first year of On the day before aud the day after his birthday, the old gentleman did ull day’s work. He is at the case promptly at seven o’clock, and puts np thousand a day without trouble. There is no pecuniary necessity for his laboring at all, and lie sets type purely from the love of the art which he has followed so long. There is no doubt that Mr. Barry the oldest printer in America, if not the world. He commenced to set type in 1778—seventy-three years ago—and has continued at the business ever since. He is still hole and hearty, and every printer at least who reads this will are sure, join us in the hope that the life of this venerable “joor” may be spared for many years to come. A Kentucky lad, only eight years old, can repeat the whole of a dime novel, and !ell every card in the pack.

There is no habit that a young needs to learn earlier, and an old man forget later, than that of depending upon himself. We do not mean that moral at- of self-reliance which is a supreme faith in one’s own judgment, ability and capacity ; this is a very good attirbute place, in the higher spheres of action, when it is well founded—that is, when one’8 Qffn judgment, ability and capacity others ; bnt we mean that homely hab- of doing important things ourselves, instead of trusting to others to do them One-bnlf of the undone duties of this life are those we commit to the hands of others—friends, servants and agents. These duties are not their par ticular business, and they therefore neg lect them, forget them, or slight them. Servants and agents will perform their regular tasks faithfully ami may be relied upon to do so, if they are servants and ageD ts of proved diligence; but there many things to be dono or looked after in every business that do not be long to any particular department of du ties. These should be attended to by him whom they most concern ; if entrust ed to others they will, half the time, be unperformed or half performed, and the result will be inconvenience, disappoin ment, failure and vexation. Giving orders would be a very agreeable way of accomplishing great tasks if they conld be accomplished in that manner ; but n person ever achieved great results i: such a way. Orders are liable to be mia laid, jforgotten, misconstrued and diso beyed. It is, therefore, not sufficient to give orders; it should be seen that they executed; it should be seen to that they are well performed; it is not suf ficient to have a task performed. There qo one who will or can take so earnest interest in a man’s business as him self ; and a little experience will serve to teach him that when he wants a thing thoroughly done, at the right time, and the right way, he must depend himself alone to do it.—St. Lonis Home Journal. The Latest Radical Bugaboo. The following is a fair sample of the electioneering bulletins forwarded by Morton, Butler & Co., to their chosen organs in the North, from Washington A most extravagant idea prevails a- moug the so-called Southern exiled loyal ists here. They predict that 1873, in January or February, there will be in the Natioual Capital no less than one hun dred thousand ex-rebels banded together under the oaths of the Ku-Klux-Klan, with arms and ammunition at their com mend. A great tournament will be held in this city at that time, and this immense army can come here without attracting attention. When the counting of the electoral votes for President takes place should it be deemed necessary to tni out the votes ot certain Southern States because of their alleged disloyalty, these Ku-Kluxes will rise in a body and de mand that these votes bo counted. What then, ask the visionary alarmists, can our standing army of forty thousand U. S. soldiers do against such a formidable force? In reply to their own query they say the result will be the compulsory counting in of the votes of the disloyal States and the election of a Democratic President Absurd as the story is it finds many believera here at the Capital, while the originators of this and other canards like tenor laugh 4 iu their^deoves at redulity of their followers. in tbe New York Legisla ture.
