All in our marriage garden Grew smiling up to God, A bonnier flower than ever, Sucked tbe green warmth of the sod, Oh, beautifully, uofathornably, Its little life unfurled ; Life crown of sweetness was our wee White Rose of all the world. From out a gracious bosom Our bud of beauty grew j It fed on smiles for sunshine, Aud tears for daintier dew; Aye, nestling warm aud tenderly, Our leaves of love were curled So close, and close, about our wee White Rose of all tbe world. With mystical, faint fragrance, Our house of life she tilled— Revealed each hour some fairy tower, Where winged hopes might build, We saw—though none like us might see— Upon the petals of our wee White Rose of all the world. But evermore the halo Of angel light increased; Like the mystery of moonlight That holds some fairy feast, Snow-white, snow-soft, snow silently, Our darling bud up-curled, And dropped in the grave—God’s lap— our wee White Rose of all the world. Our Rose was but in blossom, Our life was but in spring, When down the solemn midnight Wc heard the spirits sing : “Another bud of infancy, With holy dews impearled And in their hands they bore our wee White Rose of all the world • You scarce could thiuk so small a thing Could leave a loss so large ; Her little light such shadow fling From dawn to sunset’s marge, In other springs our life may be In bannered bloom unfurled, But never, never match our wee White Rose of all the world. From the Louisville Ledger. A Mother Surrenders Her Son to Justice. Three years ago W. F. Hewitt was sentenced to live years’ im prisonment in the Tennessee Peni tentiary for robbing W. J. Weak ley’s store in Edgefield of a large amount of goods, llis health was bad and he was put at light work in the shoe shop of the prison.— After serving two years and four months he and another convict named Smith succeeded in scaling the walls at night and making their escape. They both came to Louisville, where Smith was re captured. Hewitt subsequently committed a theft in this city, and was sent to the Kentucky Peni tentiary. He was discharged a short time ago. Helpless from a complication of disease, without friends or money, and convinced that he would be hunted up and taken back to Tennessee to serve out his time there, he chose the desperate alternative of surren dering himself. His mother, who resides in Edgefield, was startled last Monday night by his entering the house and announcing that he wag ready to go back to prison if the authorities so decided. He presented a most distressing spec tacle, and his mother determined upon an effort to secure his par don. She sent a friend to Gov. Brown on Tuesday, with an earnest ap peal in behalf of her son, but the case was one into which consider ations of executive clemency could not possibly extend. As Hewitt was an escaped convict, pardon was of course out of the ques tion, and so Gov. Brown intimated kindly, but firmly. The mother had a high sense of her duty in the matter, and requested that an officer of the law be sent after her son, pledgiug that the State should be put to no expense on his ac count, aud that he should be de livered at the prison on Wednes day. She has kept her word Wednesday morning she called at the capitol in a carriage, the sou sitting by her side. After a last appeal to the Governor—which could be answered only as before— she drove, broken-hearted to the Nashville penitentiary and deliv ered the prisoner to Warden Chum bley. The episode is one of the most singular in our criminal annals, Never before, we believe, did a mother make such a sacrifice, or make it more noblj\ But who in this uncharitable world, will give her credit for the grand moral he roisra that moved her thus to de liver her son to the tender mer cies of a penitentiary, in order that he might expiate a crime he had committed against his couutryi Lawrenceville, G-a., Wednesday, May 8, 1872. Tlie Talaquali Slaughter. Little Rock, Ark., Apr. 20, 1872. The Fort Smith New Era of the 17 th instant contains the following startling news from the Indian country : The following startling letter was received on Tuesday morning at the United States Marshall’s office by Captain James W. Don nelly, Chief Clerk: Whitmores, of Barren Fork, \ Cherokee Nation. ( J. W. Donnelly: Dear Sir —We have had a terri ble fight. Lost seven on our side killed. Three of theirs arc killed. There are lots of wounded. We are in a devil of a strait; scud 11s men and means instantly. We are with the dead and wounded, and expect to stay with them until the last one of us goes. Owens is wounded. For God’s sake send help, and send quickly. Come to Duchtewn and then down to Bar ren Fork to Whitmores. Ward is killed. Vanney and Laie alone with Owens. None of the rest are here with us. We look for help to-morrow night by dark, and are looking to be attacked every moment. The parties are close together. Some of the Cherokees are w’ith 11s. Yours in haste, J. S. Peavv. 111 order that the circumstances causing the terrible fight above alluded to may be more fully un derstood, we will state the follow ing horrible details : On the lltli instant a whiteman named J. J. Kesterson, living in the Cherokee Nation, near the Ar kansas line, about fifty miles from this city, came here and filed infor mation before United States Com missioner Churchill against one Proctor, also a white man, married to a Cherokee woman, for assault ing him, with intent to kill. He stated that while in his saw mill on the 13th of February last Proc tor came in, walked up without provocation and shot his wife dead. lie then tired his revolver at him, the ball striking just above the left eye. Before lie could fire again Kesterson escaped. It is further stated that Proctor is un dergoing trial now for the murder of his wife at the Court House in the Snake district, about fifty-sev en miles northwest of here. A writ was issued and the Deputy Marshals were instructed to go to the Court House aud remain until the trial was over, and if he was not convicted to arrest bi n 011 the other charge. Proctor is known to be a desperado, and it being in the neighborhood where Deputy Marshal Beutz was billed a little over a month ago—where, in fact, a Deputy Marshall is shot at al most on sight—it was necessary that a strong posse be sent. The party also had writs for the mur derers of the United States Depu ty Marshal Beutz, who are suppos ed to be in the immediate vicinity. aud they intended to resist arrest. Lust Saturday morning, the 13th instant, Deputy Marshal Jacob G. Jacobs and six others left for the scene. The Indian Court House is about twelve miles west of that place. The party proceeded, and about 3 p. in. on Monday they were within fifty yards of the Court House. They dismounted and hitched their horses and qui etly walked to the east side of the house in file by twos. They stopped at the corner, and Beck stepped around to the front door and looked in. Seeing a large number of people inside armed to the teeth, he turned im mediately to come away, but not before he was fired upon and dan gerously wounded. At the same time a volley was poured from the Court House upon the Marshal’s force without, who then commenc ed to return the fire. They were at great disadvantage, as the at tacking party was under shelter inside the Court House. It appears Beck had some friends inside the Court House, who, when they saw him fall, opened fire on his (Beck’s) enemies inside, and presently the fighting was general. It was brief, how evei, but terrible in its result. Of the Marshal’s force seven out of eleven lay dead, and of the assail auts, three. Some sixteen or sev enteen are reported wounded, some mortally,including Marshal Owens. Morris helped to lay out nine bodies on a porch, about half a mile from the scene of the deadly affray, and thither the Federal wounded were also carried. Proctor, the woman killer and desperado,w as guaidcd by eleven “COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BEFORE! ” of bis personal friends, who would not see him convicted. The Sheriff was killed and the Judge received nine buckshot in the knee. Indeed, it seems from the sudden and deadly assault upon the Marshal’s force, that the people inside the Court House had been fully informed of their ap proach and were prepared for them. The officials had instruc tions to make a demand for Proc tor only in case of his acquittal, and expected some resistance should they attempt to arrest Proctor aftei his acquittal, but for the murderous volley on their first approach they were not pre pared, lienee their slaughter. Immediately upon receipt of Deputy Marshal Peavy’s letter, U. C. Kerens, Chief Deputy Marshal, raised and mounted thirty men, under command of City Marshal, C. F. Robinson, and Joe Tinker, Deputy. A demand has been made upon the authorities of the Chero kee Nation to assist in taking the murderers dead or alive. This is one of the most terrible affairs ever known in (he Indian country, originating in distrust and jealousy with which the more intelligent portion of the inhabi tonts of the Indian Territory are misled by the bad white men.— What protection can be had may be surmised from the fact that Proctor has committed eighteen murders and is still unhung. It is the stern determination of tho United States Marshal in this dis trict to bring to justice the mur derous and rebellious crew in the Nation at any sacrifice or expense. Glutting the Professions. We fear that our young men are glutting the professions. Better that more of them go to trades and farming. Horace Greeley was elected an honorary member of one of the societies of the law school at Lebanon, Tennesse. He replied in the following brief let ter, that contains a world of solid applicable sense on this subject: New York, March 26, 1872. Dear Sir—l have yours of the 2nd instant, and gratefully accept the lienor of which it noliges me. And now permit me to make an ungracious return for your kind ness. I am impelled to protest against the devotion of so many young men—many ot them our ablest and brightest— to the pro fession of law. I have no vulgar prejudices against that pursuit—l know that many have nobly serv ed God and man in that calling—l protest only because 1 see that profession overcrowded while oth ers arc unfilled "or neglected. Y'our State needs this day ten thousand educated and capable young men to teach her where to look for mines and how to open and work them; how to belt her soil with additional railroads, laid with steel wrought from her own vast wealth of iron ore; how to multiply her furnaces, factories, machine-shops, implement manufactories, etc, etc. Yet she leaves these needs uusup plied, while she grinds out grist after grist of snpurfiuous lawyers and doctors. You will not heed my protest; still I ask you to re cord it, for the wiser and more do cile generations which I trust are to succeed you. Believe me yours, Horace Greeley.

An Old Man’s Romance. John Tyler—lnteresting Reminiscen ces By Henry A. Wise—An Old Man's Love Match that Turned Out lloppy. It is generally held that there is very little of the romantic element in the American Presidency, and not without reason, for men enter the Presidential office so late iu life that they have become as matter-of-fact as soap-suds or sal eratus; but ex Governor Wise, of Virginia, in his recently published and very clever volume, “Seven Decades of the Union”—which well deserves reading—gives an at count of President Tyler’s second marriage that is very entertaining. Mr. Tyler became a widower wh le lie was President, losing* a wife who was a very noble woman, a member of the well known family of Christians, in the Old Domin ion. He was a domestic man, and a pure man, and a second mar riage is the most natural tiling in the world when a man lias been happy in a first marriage; but then it is thought that a widower should marry a lady of experience not unlike liis own. Mr. Wise says that he was in Mr. Tyler’s coach, taking a drive with him, in March, !844, when lie soon dis covered that his friend would talk only of love and ladies. “We had always heard,” said Mr. Wise, “that an old fool is the worst of fools in love sickness,” aud lie showed the usual signs of its contortions into hideous shapes of seeming. He got it out at last, that he thought of marriage and wanted to know our opinion on the subject. “Well, of course, you have sought out and found out some honored dame of dignity, who can bring grace to the White House and ad l to your domestic comfort ?” “Oh, no dame, but a j sweet damsel.” “Who, pray, of damsel degree, could or should an old President win V” He told us ; and we uttered our astonishment by asking, ‘Have you really won her?’ He replied, ‘Yes, and why should 1 not ?’ We answered that j lie was too far advanced in life to be imprudent iu a love-scrape.— How imprudent ?’ he asked. ‘Ea sily; you are uot only past the middle age’ (he was then about 1 fifty-four,) ‘but you are President of the United States, aud that is a dazzling dignity, which may charm a beautiful damsel more than the man she marries.’ ‘Pooh!’ he cried, chuckling inetrily, ‘why, my dear sir,l am just full in my prime !’ ‘Ah, but lias Johu Y. Mason never told you about au old friend of bis, on the south side of the James, rich and full or acres, calling his African waiter, Toney, into coun cil upon the tender topic of mar rying a miss iu her teens ?

What if family dissent should make domestic jars, and his latter days be troubled ? He had, l.e said, always been too tender to the pledges of his past love for them ever to withhold from him their filial confidence, or (o deny to him his parental authority to judge and act for his own happi ness ! We saw the game was up, and then said : ‘We see you are bent upon your last love, with or without counsel, and you have evei been too lucky for us now to doubt or distrust your fate. You are going to marry tiie damsel, and we arc not foolish enough to make two enemies by opposing the passion of the wooer and the won.’ ” The marriage took [dace on the 20th of June, 1844, Prcsi. dent Tyler being then in his fifty fifth year, and the bride, Miss Julia Gardiner, about twenty, and whom we remember being much spoken of as a beautiful girl, and a Wash ington belle of those long-gone days. She was a New York lady, of good family, as the phrase is, and descended, we have heard, from old Lyon Gardiner, who flourished in the colonial age, and who gave his name to Gardiner's Bay and Gardiner’s Island, on and in Long Island Sound. The mar riage proved a very happy one, and Mrs. Tyler, who has survived her husband more than ten years, is not yet old. Mr. Tyler, some years after the marriage, said to Mr. Wise, when the latter noted that his tried kept “u doul le-seat cd four wheeled wicker carriage for small children:” “Yes, you see how right I was; it was no vain boast when I told you I was in my prime. I have a house-full of goodly babies budding around me, and if you will go up witli B ine to Sherwood, I will show you how bountifully and rapidly I have been blessed. They are all so near in age that they are like stair steps, and the two youngest are so much babies alike that each requires the nurse’s coach, and we have to have one with two seats!” So that marriage turned out well, despite the fact that the gentle man was old enough to be the lady’s grandfather, and wo arc glad of it, for Mr. Tyler had so much injustice done him as a pub lie man that lie was entitled <o compensation in his private life.

About forty years ago there resid ed in the town of Jackson, Wash ington county, a well-to do farmer by the name of Ferguson. lie I was industrious and frugal, but , after a time became addicted to the use of intoxicating drinks, and when under the influence of bis favorite beverage would be lilieral to such au extent that he would give away any property which might be at his disposal at the time. Fearing that he would thus squander all his effects, a commission was obtained aud the property placed in the hands of his sou. When the papers were set red on the old man he remark ed : “Y'ou have taken my property from mp, have you, and are oblig ed to support and fake care of me? Well, then, take care of me.” ne immediately took to his bed and continued to remain there, day and night, for twenty years. For the first few years lie would get up and share himself every Satur day, aud then immediately take his bed again, but for the last fif teen years of his life he was wait ed upou as an infant, notwithstan ding he enjoyed good health aud was iu the possession of all his faculties, mental and physical.— Schenectady Star.

A Cli At’TFti on Whining.— T her allttrs observed, says Josh Billings, that a whining is sure to get lickt in a fight. No cur of well reggerlated morals kan resist the temptation to bite a cowardly pttrp that tries to sneak off with his tail between his legs. The wliinin bizness man is just so. Avridge mankind don't put no konfidena iu him. Most people don’t like to trade with him, because they are afraid lie’ll burst up, or think ntebbe he's already busted. The more down a bizness man is the more his kustomers will let him stay there. A good, ringin hark is wnth more to put greenbax in a man's pocket than forty two years of wliinin.
