THE STANDARD AND EXPRESS. By SMITH, WIKLE & CO.] an ancel in a saloon. A TRUE INCIDENT. One day in the month of June, 1860, a lady in deep mourning, and follow ed bv a child, entered one of the fashionable saloons in the city of N. The writer happened to lie passing at the time, and Impelled by curiosity, followed her in to see what would en sue. Stepping up to the bar and ad dressing the proprietor, who?happen ed to be present, she said : “ Sir, can you assist me? I have no home, no friends, and am unable , to work.” He glanced at her, and then at the i child, with a mingled look ofeuriosi ty and pity. Evidently he wasHome what surprised to see a woman in such a place begging, hut without I asking any questions, gave her some ! change; then turning to those pres-, ent, he said: •* Gentlemen, here is a lady in dis- ; tress. Can some of you assist her a | little? They all cheerfully acceeded 1 to this request, and soon a purse of two dollars was raised and put in her j hand. “ Madam,” said the gentlemen who gave her the money, “ why do you j come to a saloon ? It isn’t a very proper place for a lady; and why are j you driven to such a step?” “Sir, I know it isn’t a proper place for me to be in, and you ask why I am driven to such a step. I will tell j you in one short word,’’ pointing to a Uittle behind the door labeled; *• whisky.” “ That is what has driv- i en me to this—whisky. I was once happy and surrounded by allthelux- j ones that wealth could procure, with j a fond and indulgent husband. But j In an evil hour he was tempted, and not possessing the will to resist that temptation, fell, and in one short year my dream of happiness was over, my home forever broken und deso lated, and the kind husband and the wealth some called mine, lost, lost, never to return: and all by the ac cursed wine-cup. “ You see before you only a uToek j of my former self, homeless and | friendless, with nothing left me in this world but this little child,” and weeping bittcriv she affectionately caressed the golden curls that shaded u face of exquisite lovl iness. Regain-1 ing her composure, and turning to , the proprietor, she continued: “ Sir, the reason I occasionally en- j ter a place like this is to implore these who deal in the deadly poison to desist, to stop a business that i spreads desolation, ruin, poverty and ' starvation. Think one moment of! your loved ones, find then imagine them in the situation lam in. I ap- j peul to your lietter nature, I appeal ! to your heart, for I know you possess ; a kind one, to retire from a business ' so ruinous to your patrons. “ Did you know that the money you ! receive across this bur is the same as taking tho bread from out of the mouths of the famished wives und children of your customers? That it! strips the clothes from their backs, j deprives them of all the comforts of life, and throws unhappiness, misery, crime and desolation into their once happy homes? Oh, sir, I implore, beseech and pray you to retire from a business you blush to own you are ! engaged in before your fellow j men, and enter one that will not only J be profitable to yourself, hut to your 1 fellow creatures also. You will ex- 1 cuse me If I have spoken too plainly, but 1 could not help it when I think of the misery and unhappiness it has caused me.” “ Madam, 1 am not offended,” he answered, in a voice tremulous with emotion, “ but thank you from my heart for what you have said.” “ Mamma,” said the child—who in the meantime hud been spoken to by some of the gentlemen present—hik ing hold of her mother's hand, “ these gentlemen wish me to sing ‘Little Bessie’ for them. Shall Ido so?” “ Yes darling, if they wish you to.” They all joined in the request, and placing her in a chair, she sang in a sweet, childish voice, the following song: Out In the gloomy night, sadly I roam, 1 have no mother dear, no pleasant home; No one cares for me, no one would cry, Even if poor little llessie would die, Weary and tired, I've been wandering all day, Asking lor work, hut I'm too small, they say; on the damp ground 1 must lay my head. Father’s a drunkard, and mother’s dead ! We were so happy till father drank rum, Then all our sorrow and trouble begun; Mother grew pale and wept every day— Itaby anti 1 were tot) hungry to play; Slowly they faded, till one summer night Found their dead faces all silent and white; Then with big tears slowly dropping 1 said. Father’s a drunkard and mother is dead ! Oh ! if the temperance men would only tlnd l’oor wrtched father, and talk very kind; If they would stop him from drinking, why then I should he so happy again ! Is it too late, temperance men ? I’leaso try, Or poor little Bosnia willsturve and die; All tho day long I’ve been begging for bread— Father’s a drunkard and mother is dead ! The game of billiards were left un finished, the cards were thrown aside upon the counter; all lmd pressed near, some with curiosity, some with sadness, and some with pity beaming from their eyes, entranced with the musical voice and beautv of the child, who seemed better fitted to be with angels than in such a place. The scene I shall never forgot, to my dying day, and the sweet cadence of her musical voice still rings in my ears, and every word of the song, as it dropped from her lips, sank deep in the hearts of all those who heard her. With her golden hair falling care lessly around her little shoulders, her face of almost atlicrial beauty, and looking so trustingly and confidingly upon the men around, her beautiful blue eyes illuminated with a light that seemed not of earth, formed a picture of purity and innocence wor thy the genius of a poet or painter. At the close of the song, many were weeping; men, who had not shed a tear for years, now wept like chil dren. One young man, who had re sisted with scorn the pleadings of a loving mother, and the entreaties of friends, to strive to lead a better life, to desis. from a course that was wast ing 1..s fortune and ruining his health, now approached the child, and taking both her little hands in his, while tears streamed down his pale cheecks, exclaimed with deep emotion: “Godbless, my little angel! you have saved me from ruin and dis grace, from poverty and a drunkard’s grave. -If there were ever angels on earth, you are one ; God bless you, God bless you!” and putting a bill in the hand of the mother, said, “ Please accept this tritle as a token of my re gard and esteem, for your little girl has done me a kindness no wealth can ever repay. And remember, whenever you are in want, you will tind in me a true friend,” at the same time giving her his hand and address. Taking her child by the hand she turned to go, but pausing at the door, said: *• God bless you, gentlemen ! Ac cept the heartfelt thanks of a poor, friendless woman, for the kindness and courtesy you have shown her.” Before any could reply, she was gone. A silence of several minutes ensued, which was at length broken by the proprietor, who exclaimed: “Gentlemen, that lady is right, and I have sold my last-glass of whis ky ; if any of you want more, you will have to go elsewhere.” “ And I have drank my last glass of whisky,” said a young man who had long been given up as utterly be yond the reach of those who had a deep interest in hi/? welfare—that he had sunk too low to reform. “There is a temperance organization in this city called the Temple of Honor, and at their next meeting I shall send up my name to be admitted. Who will go with me?” “ I—l—l—l, and I!” several ex claimed in a chorus, and fifteen names were added to his. True to his word, the owner of the saloon, where this strange scene was j enacted, disposed of his entire stock i the next dav. and is now engaged in jan honorable business. Would to ; Heaven tliat lady with her little one f could have gone into every hamlet, j town and city throughout our eoun ' try, and meet with like results. LOVE’S YOUNC DREAM. A rorsio LADY’S LETTER TO HER A VST? The following choice bit of sarcasm, from the Metropolitan Record, which ! purports to have been written by a ! young wife in New York to her prim and spectacled maiden aunt in Bos ton, may. in truth, have been indited by the latter lady herself, with a view I to exiiose the alisurd infatuation with which girl brides shut themselves up in the delusion that their hasbands are embodiments of perfection. If the old lady did write the document, it was hardly fair of her to palm it off on the innocence of inexperienced i bridehood. AN EXHAUSTED HUSBAND. My Dear Aunt : Although you told me when I invited you to my wedding, that I was too young to marry, and not capable of choosing a mate projierly anti with due consid eration, 1 know’ that you may now i feel that I was much wiser than you | thought. In selecting dear Orlando! I have gained a most affectionate and attentive husband, and one who has neither a fault or vice. Heavens! What must a girl suffer who finds herself united to a dissipated person, : negligent of her, and disposed to seek the society of unworthy persons, who | drink, smoke, and do all sorts of dreadful things. Thank heaven, Orlando is perfec tion. Today is my eighteenth birthday, ! and we have been married a year. We keep house now and I tain make i a pretty good pie, only the under crust will be damp. However J think it must be the oven. Once 1 put peppermint in the pudding sauce instead of lemon flavoring; but then Orlando was trying to kiss me right before the girl, who didn’t much like either of us going into the kitchen at all. The flowers are coming up beauti fully in the back garden. We sowed a great many seed, but hardly expect ed so many plants. Among the most numerous is one variety with a large leaf, tlmt scratches one’s fingers, and j don’t smell nice, I wonder what it; is. Orlando frightens me by talking j about weeds; but seeds always come j up, don’t they. Dear Orlando! I come back to him I again—so excellent, temperate and clear. Tell the girls to marry as soon as they can, if they can find a hus band like mine. I have but one trial—business takes him so much away from me. A law yer must attend to business, you know; and sometimes they carry on the cases until two at night. Often und often he has examined witnesses until past twelve and come home perfectly exhausted. And the nasty things will smoke, so that his coat quite smells of it. And as it makes him as ill as it does me, I have to air it, and sprinkled cologne on the lin ing before be dare put it on again. I had a terrible fright the other night—dreadful. Orlando told me that business—l think he said it was a case of life and death—would detain him late. So I sat up with a book, as I usually did, and did not worry until about one o’clock. After that I was a Uttle anxious, I confess, and caught a cold in my head peeping through the upstairs blinds, for, dear aunt, it was not until three o’clock that I heard a cab driving un the street, and I saw it stop at our door, then I thought I should faint, for 1 was sure some dreadful accident had happened to Orlando. I ran down to open the door, and Mr. Smith, a friend of Orlando’s, who is not, I confess, very much to my taste—such a red-faced, noisy man was supporting my dear boy up the steps. “ Oh, what has happened?” cried I. “ Don’t be frightened, Mrs. White,” said Mr. Smith. “ Nothing at all; only White is a little exhausted. Ap plication to business will exhaust a man, and I thought I’d bring him home.” “ All right, Belle,” said Orlando. “Smith tells the truth—l’m exhaust ed.” And, dearest aunt he was so much so that he spoke thick, and Mr. Smith was kind enough to help him up stairs, and laid him upon the bed, so prostrated that I thought he was going to die. Then I remembered the French brandy you gave me in case of sickness. I ran to get it out. “ Have a little brandy and water, dear 1” I said. “ The very thing. Smith is ex hausted, too. Give some to Smith,” lie said. And so I reproached myself for not having thought of it before. Mr. Smith was gone. I gave a glass to Orlando, and under Providence I think it saved his life ; for, oh, how bad he was! “ Belle,” said he quite faltering in his speech, “the room is going round so fast that I can’t catch your eye. And besides there are two of you and I don’t know which is which*.” I knew these were dreadful symp toms. “ Take a drink,” said I, “ and I’ll try to wake Mary and send her for the doctor.” “ No,” said he, “ I’ll be all right in j the morning. I’m all right now. | Here’s to your health. You’re a brick. I—” and he fell over last asleeep. Oh, why do men like to think so much of money making? is not health better than anything else. Os course as he lay down in his hat I took that off first. And I managed to divest him of his coat, but when it came to his boots—dearest aunt did you ever take off a gentleman’s boots ? Probably not, as you are a single lady—what a task! How do they get ’em off? I pulled and pulled, and snook and wriggled, and gave it up. But it would not do to leave them on all night; so I went at it again, and at last one came off so sud denly: and over I went on the floor, and into his hat, which I put down for a minute. I could have cried. And the other came off in the same way, just as hard and just as sudden at last. Then I put a soft blanket over Orlando and sat in my sewing chair all night. Oh, how heavily he breathed. And I had, as you may fancy, ghe most dreadful fears. He might have killed himself by his over application to business for all I knew. The perfect ones go first, it is said. Oh, how dreadfully, I should have felt had anything have happened to my dear Orlando. He has not had so exhausting a day since, and I think he sees the folly of over-work, though if courts will keep open so late, what can poor lawyers do ? I think it is very inconsiderate in the judge. I wonder if he has a wife —the mean old thing. * A letter from St. Mary’s to the Sa vannah News says: I am informed that there is a brotherhood Society among some of the negroes, obliging themselves to aid and sustain each other under all circumstances. This is calculated to resist law, plot against the whites and license stealing. Among themselves the greatest thief will become the greatest man, be cause he will have more than the rest, and they are bound to sustain him. Property with them has its influence as well as the whites in Church and State. The chief is a preacher under indictment for gross violation of law, and some are of the opinion that the clan will arrest and defy law. We shall soon solve the question. CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 1,187*. bREIMS iSD DREAMERS. Though dreams are in general inco herent and nonsensical, yet there are rnanv cases on record in which the most splendid conceptions have been furnished by them. Tartini is said to j have composed his Devil’s Sonata from the inspiration of a dream, in which the devil appeared and chal lenged him to a trial of skill on his i own fiddle. Coleridge declares he : composed his splendid poetical frag j rnent of Kuhla Khan, when asleep. Condoreet relates that, more than once having retired to bed jaded with in tricate calculations which he had left unfinished, he completed them in his dreams. Frank lin states that he some times saw the bearing of political events more clearly during sleep than he had done when awake. Dr. Greg ory mentions that thoughts sometimes occurred to him in dreams, which were so good that he used them in his college lectures. Sir Benjamin Brodie tells us of a friend who had more than once invented an apparat us he wished to make, in a dream, and of another who had solved math ematical problems when asleep, which had baffled him when awake. Though dreams essentially consist of trains of thought, many of them are determined by the presence of a sensation. Sir Walter Scott men tions a nobleman whose arm, during sleep, was accidentally exposed to the colcl night air, and became numb, and he awoke from a frightful dream, in which he supposed a corpse had seized him by the arm and was dragging him from bed. Dr. Gregory, having had a hot lxittle placed to his feet, dream i*d that he was ascending to the cra ter of Mount Etna, and felt the ground burning beneath him. Dr. Reid, hav ing had it blister applied to his head, dreamed that he was being scalped by Indians. During the threatened French invasion a gentleman in Ed inburgh dreamed that the landing had taken place, that the volunteers were mustering, that the signal-gun from the castle was fired, anu awoke. His wife awoke at the same instant, j having had a similar dream ; and it was discovered that the cause of both was the falling of a pair of tongs, ac- : ting upon the thoughts above inva sion, which were then dominant in their minds. We need not ascribe to dreams eith er a supernatural origin or a prophet ic power. Yet many are undoubtedly fulfilled; and it is easy to see why they should be. We anticipate a cer tain event, dream about it, and it comes to pass. It is the same cir cumstance which creates what we call presentiments. There are other dreams which fulfill themselves in a different way. An Italian merchant, travelling between Rome and Sienna, dreamt he was murdered, and in con fession told this to a priest, and at the same time revealed the wealth which lie carried about with him; the priest’s cupidity was excited, and he fulfilled his dream. A Hamburg apprentice, who was to be dispatched on the fol lowing day to a distance with a con- j siderable sum of money, had fright- ! ful dreams of robbery and murder, and accordingly, in passing through a village which lay on the edge of a wood, he revealed his fears and his errand to the magistrate, in presence of some workmen, and begged for a guide. The magistrate sent one of the workmen who had heard the story, and the poor youth was afterwards found murdered in the wood, and the guide had fled. But by far the greatest number of those eases which appear prophetical undoubtedly arise simply from coin cidences. Coincidences frequently oc cur betwixt our waking thoughts*and future facts; why should it not be so with our sleeping ones? More than a million of dreams must be dreamt every night; what marvel though one of these, which pointed to the fu ture, should afterwards be realized, and if so, it is quite sure to be remem bered, quoted, perhaps chronicled, while all the others are forgotten for ever. Dreams do enough without laying open to us the future. They fill with beautiful forms those night-hours which otherwise would be a solitary waste; they double our amount Os consciousness, and thus in effect doub le our sum of enjoyable life. Who would not be a dreamer of dreams? From how much pleasure should we be cut off if we were deprived of them! The beggar, who every night dreams he is a king, is not very far removed from royalty. “ Our Jeems” says he doesn’t know what to make of the women. “ The other night,” says he, “ I thought I had a favorable'moment to enfold a certain young lady in a lov ing embrace, when she coolly asked me what I was about. “ ‘ Making waist places glad accor ding to Scripture,’ ” says I. “ 1 You are mistaken in the person,’ says she; ‘ I never allow' anything to go to waist.’ ” THE DEACON PUZZLED. Deacon Johnson is a great temper ance man, and sets a good example as far as he is seen. Not long he employed a carpenter to make some alterations in his par lor, and in repairing the corner near the fire-place it w r as found necessary to remove the wainscoatingf when, lo! a discovery was made that aston ished everybody. A brace of decan ters, a tumbler, and a pitcher, w r ere cosily reposing there as if they had stood there from the beginning. The deacon w r as summoned, and as he beheld the blushing bottles, he exclaimed: “ Well, I declare, that is curious, sure enough. It must be that old Bains left them when he w r ent out of the house thirty years ago.” “ Perhaps he did,” returned the carpenter, “ but, deacon, the ice in the pitcher must have been friz mighty hard to stay till this time.” STUDYING LATIN. An exchange relates a story of a young farmer w'hose son had for a long time been ostensibly studying Latin in a popular academy. The farmer not being perfectly sat isfied with the course and conduct of the young hopeful, recalled him from j-school, and placing him by the side of a cart one day, thus addressed him: “ Now, Joseph, here is a fork, and there is a heap of manure and cart; ! w hat do you call them in Latin ?” “ Forkibus, cartibus, etmanuribus,” j said Joseph. “ Well, now,” said the old man,”. “ if you don’t take that forkibus pret ty quiekibus, and pitch that manuri bus into the cartibus, I’ll break your lazv baekibus.” Joseph w'ent to workibus, forth withibus. Grace Greenwood, in her lecture on “The Heroic in Common Life,” tells the story of the wife of a member of the Arizonia Legislature, whose house when her husband was absent on his legislative duties, w T as attacked by In dians. She shot six, and the next day WTote to her husband: “ Dear John —The Apaches attacked the ranche. I have won the fight. You need not come yourself, but send some more ammunition.” It is stated that the Chicago and Al ton Railway Company is making ar rangements to fence its track with Osage orange. The coming spring it is intended to set out plants along the line Irom Alton to Macoupin, a dis tance of 25 miles; and every spring thereafter 80 miles of hedge will be set, until the entire line of the road is fenced. — A"candid old bachelor says: “ Af ter all, a woman’s heart is the sw'eet est thing in the world; its a perfect honey-comb—full of sells.” THE BEimiTL S\OW. [ln the early part of the American war, one dark Saturday morning in 1 mid winter, there died* at the Com mercial Hospital, in Cincinnati, a young woman over whose head only two and twenty years had passed. She had once been possessed of an en viable share of beauty, had been, as she herself said, “flattered and sought for the charms of her face;” but alas! upon her fair brow, (where a tender, loving mother’s kiss had oft been pressed,) had long been written that terrible word— fallen ! Once the pride of respectable parents, her first wrong step was the “small beginning” of the “same old story over again,” which has been the only life history of thousands. High ly educated and accomplished in planners, she might have oeen a star in the most brilliant and refined so ciety. “ Slight have been” did we say •{— “ Os all the wordii of tongue or j>en, The .addest are these— it might have been IU But the evil hour that proved her ruin was out the door from childhood; and having spent a young life in shame, the poor friendless one died the melancholy death of a broken hearted outcast. Among her personal effects was found, in manuscript, the “ Beautiful Snow,” which was immediate ly carried to Enos B. Reed, a gentle man of culture ;and literary taste, who was at that time editor* of the National Union. In the columns of that paper, on the morning following the girl’s death£the poem appeared in print for the first time. When the paper containing the poem came out on Sunday morning, the body of the poor unfortunate woman had not yet received burial. The attention* of Thomas Buchanan Read, one of the best American poets, was soon direct ed to the newly published lines, who was so taken with their stirring path os, that he immediately followed the corpse to its final resting. Such are the plain facts concerning her whose “ Beautiful Snow” will be regarded as one of the highest gems of American literature.] Oh! the snow, the beautiful snow, Filling the sky and earth below, Over the housetops, over the streets, Over the heads ot the people you meet; Dancing—Flirting—Skimming along. Beautiful snow! it can do no wrong: Flying to kiss a fair lady’s cheek, Clinging to lips in frolicsome freak; Beuutilul snow from heaven above, I’ure as an angel, gentle as love! Oh! tho snow, the beautiful snow, How the Hakes gather and laugh as they- go, Whirling about in maddening fun ; Chasing—Laughing—Hurrying by, It lights on the lace, and it sparkles the eye; And the dogs, with a bark and a hound, Snap at the crystals as they eddy around; The town is alive and its heart is a-glow To welcome the coming of the beautiful snow! How wild the crowd goes swaying along, Hailing each other with humor and song: How the gay sleighs like meteors hash bv, Bright for amonieut, then lost to the eye; Binging—Swinging—Dashing they go Over the crust of the beautiful snow; Snow so pure when it falls from the sky, To be trampled in mud by the crowd rushingby, To he trampl’d and track’d by thousands of feet Till it blends with the filth in the horrible street. Once I was pure as the snow, but I fell, Fell like the snow flakes from heaven to hell; Fell to be trampled as filth on the street, Fell to be scoffed, to be spit on and beat; Pleading—Cursing—Dreading to die, Selling my sou! to whoever would buy; Dealing in shame for a morsel of bread, Hating the living and fearing the dead. Merciful God, have I fallen so low ? And yet 1 was once like the beautiful snow. Once I was as fair as the beautiful snow, With an eye like a crystal, a heart like its glow; Once I was loved for my innocent grace— Flatter’d and sought for the charms of my face. Father—Mother—Sisters, all, God and myself I have lost bv the fall! The veriest wretch that goes shivering by Will make a wide sweep lest X wandertoo nigh, For all that is on earth or above me, I know, There is nothing so pure as the beautiful snow. Xlow strange it should be that this beautiful snow Should fall on a sinner with nowhere to go! How strange it should be when the night comes again, If the snow and the ice struck ray desperate brain, Fainting—Freezing—Dying alone, Too wicked for prayer, too weak for a moan To he heard in the streets of the brazen town, Gone mad in the joy of the snow coming down; To be anil to die in my terrible woe. With a bed and a shroud of beautiful snow. Helpless and foul as the trampled snow, Sinner, despair not! Christ stoopeth low To rescue the soul that is lost in sin, And raise it to life and enjoyment again. Groaning—Bleeding—Dying lor thee, The crucified hung on the accursed tree! His accents of mercy fell soft on thine ear, “Is there mercy for me? Will he heed my weak prayer?” O God, in the stream that for sinners did flow, Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. The historical four-and-twenty blackbirds that were baked in a pie have been quite thrown into the shade by one hundred chickens which fur nished the interior of a gigantic pas try baked last week in Bridgeport, Conn., for the fair at St. John’s Church. It took four strong men to carry this monster into the hall; and it will require a great many more strong men and women and children to eat and digest it. A man arriving home at a late hour, a little the worse for too much supper, hatless and coatless, w r as asked by his indignant spouse, “ Where’s your hat and coat ?” “ Sent ’em, my dear, (hie) to the Chicago sufferers.” The number of persons w r ho perish ed in the Chicago fire is estimated to have been at least 500. Over 100 bod ies have been recovered, nearly all of which have been identified, and the work of clearing away the ruins is still far from completion. Letters of inquiry for missing friends are pour ing into the city from all quarters, and the publication of these has been the means of tracing many who were supposed to be lost. A Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette, writing of Sum ner’s speech in the Senate in support of his civil rights bill, and the reply of Senator Vickers, says of the latter gentleman: Mr. Vickers said that if President Lincoln had lived to carry out his plan of reconstruction, or had John son been allowed to consumate Lin coln’s plans, the country would have been tranquil to-dav, and the Repub lican party would have been much stronger. He refuted the charge that the Democrats were all “ rebels” in the late war, and said that Whigs and Democrats alike gave a support in men and money to the North during the war, and it must be patent to all fair minded people, who are not blin ded by party prejudices and spite, that had it not been for Democrats in the North the Confederates would have been successful. YELLOW PINE BUSINESS. A conversation this week with W. F. Penniman, Esq., the efficient and active agent of the staunch firm of Dodge & Cos., dealers in manufactured yellow pine, informs us that they are now receiving orders by the million feet, and that they have on their books, at this place, orders for twelve cargoes. From Mr. Penniman we learn that the demand has never been so great for yellow pine as at this time, and that their firm anticipate doing the haviest business in that line ever done at this port. Their splendid new wharf, of sufficient ca pacity to accommodate a half-doz en vessels at one time, will soon be finished, when they expect to rush business. —Brunswick Appeal. A reverend gentleman was ad dressing a Sabbath-school concert at Boston Highlands one Sunday night, and was trying to enforce the doctrine that the hearts of the little ones were sinful, and needed to be given to Christ. Taking out his watch, and holding it up, he said: “ Now', here is my watch, suppose it don’t keep time ; now goes too fast, and now' too slow; what shall I do with it?” “ Sell it!” shouted out a flaxen headed youngster. XATRIXOSY EXTRAORDINARY. An entertaining article entitled “Tony Weller’s Widows” appears in the Chester (Pa.) Republican, from which the following is an extract: “Another very courtable widow was a young lady, of Washington, Pa. She became engaged to a young man named Robert in 1546. Her father, however, objected to tins match with one of his clerks, and when the young lady received a tempting proposal from a wealthy suitor, the paternal influence still affected a marriage despite the former engagement. In less than three months her husband was killed by a kick from a horse. Robert was* a second time a suitor, but delayed the important question until 'fifteen months had passed, when, to his horror, she informed him that she was engaged. In three months there after she married. Two years elapsed when the married couple moved to Syracuse, N. Y., where, among the victims of the cholera, whtn the pestilence swept that city, the second husband died. Robert again sought her hand, and when a year had elapsed, was on the eve of declaration, when lo! he received an invitation to her wedding. Her late husband’s business was found in such a state that, to avoid immense losses, she married the surviving partner. Shortly after she removed with her third husband to Detroit, Michigan. A few years elapsed, when herself and husband was on a steamer. that was wrecked near Buffalo. The hus band perished, and the wife escaped, solely through the exertions of a friend who was on board. His gal lantry inspired such sentiments in ner breast that she married her brave preserver a few months after her third widowhood. The happy pair removed to Pittsburg, where her husband was engaged in the mercantile business. Thither Robert, still cherishing his first love, followed them. One day, as he was passing the husband’s store he saw a terrible commotion. Rush ing in, lie beheld the mangled corpse of that gentleman on the floor. A tierce of rice, on being hoisted to an upper story, had fallen through the traps, killing him instantly. Anx iously Robert inquired if any one had gone to inform his wife, and was told that the book-keeper had just gone. Robert started foi Alleghany City, where the deceased had resided, at the top of his speed. The book keeper was just ahead of Ipm, and from past experience, knowing the virtue of prompt action, and appre hending that the clerk had designs on the widow, he ran for dear life, side by side. The race continued until they reached Hand street bridge when the clerk was obliged to pay the tolls, while Robert a commuter, passed over without stopping. Reach ing the house of the widowfirst Robert told her the heart-rending news and in the same breath made a proposal of marriage. He was accepted. True to her promise, after a year of mourn ing, she became his wife. As all her husbands had died wealthy, Robert was comfortably fixed after all. This case is a remarkable example of what pluck and perseverance will do for a man, while at the same time it teaches a lesson on the danger of delay.” The following scene is said to have taken place in the Kentucky Legisla ture during the winter of 1867: “ A member from one of the mountain counties was a persistent reader of the Louisiana Journal, and each morning as the House opened, would commence reading the favorite paper. At the same moment some member would move to dispense with the reading of the journal, and our moun tain member would lay down his paper. He stood this for some time, but one morning rising from his seat after the usual motion, he exclaimed at the top of his voice: “Mr. Speaker, I’ve sot here for mor’n a week and submitted to the tyranny of this House. Somebody every morning moves to dispense with the reading of the journal, and I’ve lost every paper I’ve bought for a week by it; and no man has ever moved to* dis pense with the reading of the Demo crat or Courier \ savd, Mr. Speaker, I won’t stand it any longer, Mr. Speaker . Here the remainder was lost in the general laughter, The following dispatch, to the New York Herald indicates how' the wind blow's inihe Keystone State: The election in the Fourth Penn sylvania Senatorial Distict attracts much atttention here for the reason that the Radical nomi nee, Gray is the representative of the Grant-Cameron interests. The district is largely Republican, but a very prominent railroad official was in the city some says since, and was very positive in the opinion that if Col. Alick McClure would run against Gray the latter w'ould be defeated. The fierceness of McClure’s hostility to Grant is well known, and a num ber of pruminent Pennsylvanians have left this city to-night to partici pate in the fight. A little fellow, some four or five years old, and wno had never seen a negro, was greatly perplexed one day w hen one come to where he and his father w'ere. The youngster eyed the stranger suspiciously till he had pass ed, and then asked his father: “ Pa, W'lio painted that man all black so ?” “God, my son,” replied the father. “Well,” said the little one, still look ing after the negro. “ I shouldn’t a thought he’d a held still.” A learned clergyman was accosted in the following manner by an illiter ate preacher who despised "education: “ Sir, you have been to college, I suppose?” “ Yes sir,” w'as the reply. “I am thankful,” rejoined the former, “that the Lord opened my mouth without any learning.” “A similar event,” retorted the clergyman, “took place in Balaam’s time; but such things are of rare occurrence at the present day. BEWARE OF THE FIRST GLASS. The secret of being sober is to avoid the first glass. If you do not take the first glass, nobody can make you take the see ond. It is the first glass that conscience grapples with; this taken, conscience grow's w'eaker with every succeeding glass. Before you take the first glass, you are sober, but not quite afrerw ard; the second and the third further removes from perfect sobriety. To the first glass may be traced the greatest portion of poverty, crime, lunacy, bankruptcy, and premature deaths. There is a young girl in Virginia who wears four bullets made into the form of a Maltese cross, which were extracted from the bodies of ber fath er and brother, who were killed in the siege of Richmond. A sneak thief recently stole a coat at Marshalltown, 111., vhich had been hung across the fence to be disinfected of the small-pox, and. as a conse quence, has gone to “ that borne,” etc. So necessaay is fun - to~the~ mind, that a late philosopher said if you should build schools without play grounds, nobody would get beyond short division in a lifetime. Every human creature is sensible to infirmities of temper, which it should be his duty to correct and subdue, particularly in the early period of A TERRIBLE KIELFX OUTRAGE. A correspondent of the New York Day-Book furnishes the following j account of the “ Kuklux outrage” in j Arkansas, for the authenticity of j which he vouches. We hope the I reverend earpot-bagger’s nervous svs- 1 tem has not been shattered by the treatment which he received from | “the Southern rebels I will give you an account of a “ terrible Kuklux outrage,” com mitted in Arkansas recently, which, I think, demands the attention of the K. K. Commitee. A certain clerical gent, traveling through this conn try t in a buggy, overtook a handsome i young woman, walking and carrying | a babe in her arms, which was closely veiled. He entered into conversation with her, found she was going some i distance on his road, and being very charitable, offered her a seat in his j buggy, which she accepted. As he j drove on he found that she would not reach her destination that night, so j he, with his broad charity, kindly proposed that if she would go to a I hotel with him that night, he would ) introduce her as his wife, and foot the bill in the morning. Greenback being j scarce with her, to this she consented, j The parson drove up to Crother’s tavern, and called for lodgings for himself, lady and child, (the child being all the time veiled.) I Supper being over, the parson com plained of weariness, and desired to be shown to their room, which was, of course, done. He retired to rest, ! the lady prepared her child, and laid j it in bed by the parson, saying she wished to step out a moment. The child soon commenced fretting and . crying most furiously, and all his! lulabies and caresses would not quiet it. The good old landlady hearing the screams of the little fellow, con-! eluded to go in and see if anything | was needed. On entering she in quired what was the matter. The parson said its mother had stepped out and the child was fretting. The old lady took the child and went to the light with it, and on beholding its face immediately turned to the preacher and said, “Is this your child?” He said, “yes.” “well, bless God!” says the old lady, “ it’s a nigger!" The parson swooned, and I the mother never returned. Now, I' think this an “ outrage” that Com- j mittee should look after. Parsons who come to enlighten the “natives” j should not be thus treated. Please \ inform them of these facts, and send them out. They can get evidence! enough here for a whole campaign. THE CERJIA.Y EMIGRATION. During the period of twelve years from the beginning of 1859 to the close of 1870, 2,267,500 German immi grants arrived in this country. The largest immigration of this thrifty class of our foreign population in a single year took place in 1869, when the aggregate was 124,766. Tne war i with France stopped the tide for several months, so that the total for j the year 1870 fell to 91,000; but since | the peace the old desire of the Ger-! mans to find new homes here lias returned with such vigor as to create alarm in the Cabinet of Berlin. It is not, therefore, surprising to hear that the Government of the empire is divising schemes by which to keep the German people upon German soil. The first indication of this movement is the account of an agreement be tween the governments of Berlin and Vienna to divert toward the Austrian empire the flood which is once more setting westward. It is well under stood that no measures of coercion Avill be employed to effect the desired result, but Bismarck and Beust have settled the preleminaries for the in direct exercise of powerful influences. The German empire is overstocked with labor, and wages are low ; Aus tria lacks supplies of workmen both in her factories and her fields, and offers prices 50 per cent, higher than those now paid under the rule of William. The bait is tempting and will be very likely to draw off many enterprising Germans who have hith erto regarded the United States as the land of promise. TOE REBEL ARCHIVES. William L. Stone recently delivered an oration in New York. In the course of his remarks he gave the fol lowing bit of information concerning the disposition which was made of the rebel archives at the collapse of the rebellion : “On the morning of Mr. Davis’ capture,” says Mr. Stone, “ David Tilgman waited upon him at his bedside and said, ‘By this you may see that the enemy is here, such and such is the disposition of the roads; If you come with me you will be able to leave the country in safety. If you do not, you Will be captured in five hours.’ To this Mr. Davis re plied, curtly, he ‘knew his own busi ness best.’ Tilgman continued: ‘Very well, sir; I have been entrusted with the treasure and archives, and propose to secure them, even at the peril of the loss of your favor and my life. I shall start at once by the way I have marked out.’ The result is well known. In less than five hours Mr. Davis was a prisoner, but the archives were safe. When a few weeks after, in the recesses of the for est, 'Tilgman learned that all was lost, {lie alone with his own hands, buried ; the treasure and archives, and unless, during the four years that elapsed be tween his parting with me and his untoward death, he revealed the spot, the secret as to the whereabouts of the archives is forever buried. As long as they can be kept from the ken of ipan, so long shall tne story lie a monument to our brother’s unswerv ing fidelity. This is the true history of the archives of the Southern Con fedracy, although rumors are from time to time set afloat of their being now in the vaults of this bank, and now of that.” A lady says engagements are very unsatisfactory sort of affairs, for if you are not very polite and attentive the gentlemen thinks you do not care for him, and you are afraid to be polite for fear the engagement might some time be broken off, when you would be sorry to think you had wasted so much sweetness oh some other wo man’s husband. A young gentleman who has be come smitten with a south-western beauty, and who was the daughter of a blooming widow, after a protracted courtship, picked up sufficient cour age to propose when the damsel re plied, “ I should be glad to accommo date you were I not already engaged: but ma wishes to marry, and I think she is just now without an engage ment.” The young man left for his childhood’s home. Here is a good one on “ taterbugs.” Three men were comparing notes. One says : “ There are two bugs to every stalk.” A second one says, “ they have cut down my early crop, and are sitting on the fence waiting for the late crop to come up.” “ Pshaw,” said the third, “ You don’t know anything about it. I passed a seed store the other day, and the bugs were there looking over the Ixioks to see who had purchased seed potatoes.” “ Miss, will you take my arm?” asked an old bachelor. “La! yes, and you too,” said the young lady. “ Can only spare the arm, miss,” has tily replied the bachelor. “ Then,” said miss, “ I can’t take it, as my motto is to go the whole hog, or none at all.” John Quincy Adams left some $50,000, the result of industry, pru dence and inheritance. He was a man of method and economy. WIT AND HUMOR. 'Hie wrong side—Suicide. Happiness is internal, not external. An unpleasant suit—Law-suit. A bath for everybody—§nb-bath.

An Arkansas editor appealed to the “ dissipels of siense” in his town to celebrate the “ forthcoming huinboldt cemetery.” “ What are you doing there?” said a grocer to a fellow’ who was stealing his lard. “ I'm getting fat," was the reply. A California editor bought a mule, and a brother editor chronicles it as a remarkable instance of self-possession. A memphis clerk drew $35,000 in a lottery the other day.

An Omaha paper advises the peo ple “ not to make such a fuss over the shooting of one constable, as there are i over forty candidates for the office.” A Yankee down East has made the ! discovery, that a window glazed with old hats is a sure indication that the occupants have seen a rum bottle. Why does a coat grow larger when taken out of a carpet-bag? Because when you take it out you’ll find it increases. A merry but poor man, being laugh ed at for wearing a short cloak, re plied, “ It will be long enough before I have done with it.” A Western editor speaks of a con temporary who is “so dirty that every time he goes up stairs there is a rise in real estate.” If small girls are waifs, are large ones waifers? “Certainly,” says sweet sixteen: “at least the boys have the habit of applying their lips in sealing their vows.” Miss Phoebe Couzins, of St Louis, has been admitted to practice as a lawyer. The members of the bar re ceived her not as a brother lawyer, but only as a Couzin. Dr. Johnson compared plaintiff and defendant in an action at law, to two men ducking their heads in a bucket, and daring each other to remain the longest under water. This is how a paragraph in a Wes tern paper records a suicide : “He blew his head olf. Bilious, poor and disheartened.

Mr. Speckles says the best vegeta ble pill yet invented is an ample dumpling; for destroying a gnawing in the stomach, it is a pill which may always be relied on. An Indiana editor makes the fol lowing announcement: “We posi tively decline to publish any anony mous communication in the future, unless it is accompanied with the name of the writer.” An Indiana cooper put his son in side a cask he was finishing, to hold the head up. At last accounts he was trying to find some way to get him out through the bung hole. “Go it, old fellow,” said two idle scape-graces to an honest laborer at work —“ Work away while we play —sow and we’ll reap.” “ Very likely, my lads,” replied the man coolly ; “ I’m sowing hemj) ” Old Gent—“ Biddy, what is this you have among the stuffin’ of the tur key ?” Biddy (delighted)—“ Ah, an’ sure master, I’m obliged to you for finding my shignon; I’ve been look ing for it all day.” “ Why do you not hold up your head as I do?” inquired an aristo cratic lawyer of a laboring farmer. “ Squire,” replied the farmer, “ look at that field of grain. All the valua ble heads hang down, like mine, while those that have nothing in them stand upright, like yours!” “ My friend, don’t you know that it is very dangerous to take a nap while the train is in motion?” “Why no,” exclaimed the astonished indi vidual, waking up; “why so?” “ Because this train runs over sleep ers.” A married friend of ours said he would always have remained single, but he couldn’t afford it. What it cost him for “ gals and ice cream,” was more than he now pays to bring up a wife and eight children. Bache lors should think of this. Why was Sodom destrovad ? Be cause it was so-dam wicked. McCutelieon’s Column. The Western Antidote ! McCUTCH EON’S CHEROKEE HDIAI BITTERS. This highly valuable Indian Remedy is too well known, whenever it has been used, to require special notice. Those who are unacquainted with its won. derful operation upon the system will find it a certain remedy in all Diseases of the Kidneys, Bladder and Urinary Organs. It is very useful in Rheumatism, Liver Com plaint, Ague-Cake Dysentery and other complaints. It warms the stomach and bowels; cures Colic and Obstructions of the Breast; sustains excessive labor of both bo dy and mind; cures the Piles, promotes the Appetite, assists Digestion; prevents un pleasant dreams and frights; strengthens the judgment; cures Nervous, Asthmetical and I Hysterical Affections; removes all the dis- , orders of weaknes and debility ; purifies the Blood; cures Neuralgia and Dispepsia, to gether with most Diseases peculiar to Fe males. Old and young, male and female, have been greatly benefitted by its use, as hundreds of letters from all parts of the United States j will certify. Let those who are unac- i quainted with McCctchkon’s “Cherokee In dian Bitters,” before saying this is too much, try a bottle, and all who do so will | unite in testifying that the half has not been i told. Cherokee Indian Bitten possesses an ener gy which seems to communicate new life to the system, and renovate the feeble, fainting powers of nature. Its operation upon the tissues of the body does not consist in affect ing the irritability of the living fibre, but in imparting a sound and healthy stimulus to the Vital Or gam. I It strengthens substantially and durably ! the living powers of the animal machine; is ’< entirely innocent and harmless; may bead | ministered with impunity to both sexes, and all conditions of life. There is no diseaso of any name or na ture, whether of young or old, male or fe- I male, but that it is proper to admin : ster it j j and if it be done seasonably and persever | ingly it will have a good effect. It is per i fectly incredible to those unacquainted with the Bitters, the facility with which a heal ! thy action is often in the worst case restor ed to the exhausted organs of the system ; with a degree of animation and desire for food, whieh is perfectly astonishing to all who perceive it. This Medicine purifies the blood, restores the tonic power of the fibres, and of the stomach and digestive organs; ! rouses the animal spirits, and substantially j fortifies and reanimates the broken down | constitutions of mankind. Indians are the most healthy of the human race. They take an abundacc of physical exercise, breathe pure air, and live on sim ple diet. When sick, they use no mineral poisons, but select roots, herbs, and plants “from the great drug store of their Crea tor. ” McCutcheon’s “ Chekokef. Indian Bitikus” is a combination of these vegeta ble substances which render it entirely in nocent to the constitution of the most deli cate male or female. The wonderful power which these “Bitters” are known to pos sess in curing diseases, evinces to the world that it is without a parallel in the history of medicine, and afford additional evidence that the great benefactors of the country are not always found in the temples of wealth, nor the maiy walks of science, but among the hardy sons of Nature, whose original, untutored minds, unshackled by the forms of science, are left free to pursue the dic tates of reason, truth and common sense. Since the introduction of this remedy in to the United States, thousauds have been raised from beds of affliction whose lives were despaired of by their physicians and pronounced beyond the reach of medicine McC’utchcon’s “ Cherokee Bitters ” has driven the most popular medicines of every name, like chaff before the whirlwind, from every city, town and village where it has been introduced, and is destined ere long to convince the world that the red man’s rem edies are the white man’s choice. For dis eases peculiar to the female sex there is nothing better. Old and young, male and female, have all been greatly benefitted by its use. Hundreds of certificates, from al] parts of the United States, which are enti tled to the fullest confidence, speak of it in the most favorable manner. These are not only from persons who have been cured by it, but also from some of the most eminent physicians and druggist who have success fully tested it in their practice, and volun tarily offer their testimonials in its favor For sale by all Dealers.
