V/IfAT OF THAT ?
Tired ! well, what of that?
Didst fancy life was spent on foods of ease,
Fluttering the rose-leaves scattered lfy
breeze ?
Come, rouse thee! work while it is called
to-day;
Coward, arise, go forth thy way !
Lonely! and what of that?
Some must be lonely; ’ti - not given to all
To (eel a heart responsive rise and fall—
To blend another lilt' into its own ;
Work may be done in loneliness ; work
on ! -a
Dark! well, and what of that?
Didst fondly dream the sun would never
sot ?
Dost fear to lose thy way ? Take courage
yet,
I .earn thou to walk by faith and not by
sight.,
Thy steps will guided be, and guided
right.
Hard ! well, and what of that ?
Did-t fancy life one Rummer holiday,
With k>.-ous none to learn, and naught
but play?
Go, 'get t’nec to thy task. Conquer or
die!
If must be learned, learn if, then, patiently.
No help! nay, ’tis not. so !
Though Human help be far, thy God is
nigh,
Who feeds the ravens, hears His children’s
cry ;
He’s near thee wheresoe’r thy footsteps
roam,
, And He will guide thee, light thee, help
thee home.
Amnesty.
It will be seen that Congress has
relieved the disabilities of Colonel
L. Q. C. Lamar, of Mississippi,
elected to Congress from that
State" This is an evidence of
growing liberality. In his petition
tor relief, Colonel Lamar used the
following language, which the
vt-.u.. in press call •‘singular
•‘Your memorialist would not
sue for such special legislation in
[ his favor if he was not, after due
super-examination, conscious of
his entire fidelity to the interests
and happiness of the people of the
United States, and the Constitu
tion and laws thereof.”
The matter brought, up the ques
tion of amnesty, which was treated
as follows :
There was scarcely a division
on the motion to pass tho bill, and
the instant it was out of tho way
a Pennsylvania member sprang a
general amnesty bill on the House,
and moved to suspend the rules
and put it on its -passage. The
vote stood 102 in favor of sus
pending the rules and passing the
bill, to eighty-four again. A two
thirds vote is required to suspend
the rule, which was lacking in the
vote to-day. Among those who
voted against amnesty —Ambler,
Oakes, Ames, Beatty, Beveridge,
of Illinois, Briugham, Butler, Co
burn, Dawes, Foster, Hawley,May
nard, Sprague, Monroe, Peck,
Snapp, Smith and Upson. Havens
and Parker were the only members
from Missouri voting against sus
pension ol the rules. Garfield
and Stevenson were the only Re
publicans from Ohio who voted to
suspend the rules. Farrell and
Hay were the only Republicans
from Illinois who voted on behalf
of amnesty. This vote seems to
settle amnesty in the House for
this session, although it may come
up again on a fuller House.
Not tue One Wanted—Pittaburg
has had a modern comedy of errors
A young wife suspected her lord
of too groat an intimacy
comett mulatto cook, and so one
night, when ho acted suspicious, she
laid for him. Sending the cook off,
she covered her head with a shawl j
and waited in the kitchen for the I
confirmation of her susuijhons.—
Some one rapidly entered, shortly
after, and she felt an aim around
her waist and warm kisses on
her lips. Then she ihtew off her
di&trttise to transfix the villain on
the spot, but instead of her bus
hand, she beheld the l>igg> t, black- j

- A TemteSsoc Tragedy.
Lome thres years ago,a young man
raiding in JUrsball county, in this
Stale, was engaged to be mauled to
a young lady who lived in the neigh
borhood. The match was strongly
opposed by the girl’s family, her two
brothers being* especially bitter in
Heir ojion. However, all tins
had no effect upon the lovers. As it
was manifestly impossihlo for the
mfti'iiage to take place at the young
ladvVhoine, an elopement was agreed
upon, but their plans were frustrated
upon two different occasions. The
third attempt was more successful,
and one dark, cloudy night, the lover
rode to a place designated, found his
promised wile awaking him, took
her on the horse being.! him and
rode rapidly away. The lovers natu v
rally conclude! that their troubles
were over, aa ! lh:: in a short lime
the ceremony which would bind them
together forever’\* ouhl be pronounc j
ed. They rode along and had reach- j
ed a point within, a quarter of a mile 1
of the young man’s home, when two J
men sprang out from their place of
concealment near the roadside, and
called to ihe young couple to halt,
which command was not obeyed.
The two men thereupon fired at the
young man on the horse, who rode
on a short distance and then fell
heavily to the ground, dragging the |
girl with him. The men—who
proved to he the young lady’s broth
ers —come uj) and beat tbe wounded
man about the head and chest in
a brutal manner, be begging and
r ,l.- .. U*. ’ etiouj to spHie lllfjt,'®
he felt he had already received his
death wound. The girl was ordered
by her brothers to get on her lover’s
horse and return home with them,
but she refused to leave her lover’s
side.
Aftsr dually beating their sister,
tbe unnatural brothers rode off home,
where they were a°ked if they had
‘ kdled that fellow," by their mother,
to wliie.h they replied, that they had
not, but that they’ bad “fixed him”
so that lie would die.
Tho young man w ho had been shot
was carried to a relative’s bouse,
where he lingered in great pain for
forty oiadrt hours before death came
v O
to relieve him of his sufferings.
The young girl having announced
her desire to marry her dying lover,
a Justice of the Peace was brought
to the house the night of the shoot
ing, and the ceremony which united
the living to the dying was pro
notinced.
Just before breathing* his last the
unfortunate man called his sister and
wile to his bedside and solemnly
charged them to remain together as
long as they lived, to which request
a readv assent was given, lie also
exacted a promise from bis wife that
she would never return to her ow n
family, or have anything to do with
them in ihe future.
Meanwhile, the guilty brothers had
made their escape, but a vigorous
pursuit resulted in their being cap
ture near Jackson, Mississippi. I hey
were taken toLewisburg, in Marshall
county, where they were lodged in
jail, hut after a few month’s confine
ment they were enabled by friends to
make their escape, but were again
captured by Sheriff Champ, in, Texas,
the second arrest having been made
about a month ago, a reward ol a
thousand dollars having been offered
for their apptehension.
Th«f are*uow lodged in their o'a
quAi tors in the Lewishurg jail on the
charge of murder, and will be tried
at tbe fi-st session of the County
Court. .
The wife of the murdered man,
their own’sis'.er, ha* expressed a le
tirminatian to do all her iu her pow
er to secure their conviction, and a*
she was present during tho tragedy,
her les.imony will be of vital impor
tance.
Tbe foregoing facts are furnished
l»v a sister of the voting man who
was killed. -
: COMING EVENTS CAST TIIEIR SHADOWS IJEFtfRB'”
Wi
Hark from the Toombs !
One of the most remarkable epi
sodes that has ever occuirod in the !
life of Frank Muhlboseh, liappend on ;
yesterday. Should* he live to the 1
ripe oil age of three score years and :
ten, it is safe to sav lxf may consider
it a very remarkable circumstance if
he should ever meet a human being
wbo can boast a similar adventure,
or of having so narrbv y escaped
suedi a horrible death. There are
but few men now living who can
boast of Jhaving attend*! their own
funeral, and being lowered bv
weeping fiiends within the narrow
walls of the’cold and silent tomb, but
of that few is the individual men
tioned above. TiiofncU of the case,
as related by those who witnessed
the strange'affair,* are as follows ;
A few days ago Mi Muhlbesh
was taken suddenly ill at Lis resi
loiice, somewhere iu the neighbor
hood of Llue Island avenue and
Rebecca street. His disease was of
a very sruteTiat lire, arid in spite of!
all the efforts of his .! -iair, he
died after a brief ii’nes*, and his sor
rowing friends made readv for the
funeral. An undertake was sum
moned and the body properly laid
out, and on yesterday the funeral
service took place from his late resi
dence. After the customary services
i had been performed and the sorrow
ing relatives bad taken their la;t
; look at the fare of the decea- !, and
| the coffin lid was screwed down, and
Lite funeral cortege moved slowly
towards tho quiet confines of Grace-
Tand cemetary, wtier’d the body was
finally lowered sadly into the grave
which had been prepaied for it. The
last, prayer had been offered and the
last, solemn service repeated, when
just as the sexon seized his spade
and was about to drop the first shov
elful of earth upon the coffin, s
soufid, Something like a stifled groan,
i followed by a scratching noise, a-* if
| the dead man was trying to release
! himself from the confine,* of his nar-
row house, was heard proceeding
from the’ still open g.uv> For an
insßoit evmy i cart, .stood still, and
the blood of every lis-cpc see.non to
curdle in bis veins. The women
screamed and hastened towards their
carriages, while the men were no'
slow in following them. In an in
stant Urn sexton was the only man
left at the grave, and lie too .rein
bled at heaping what he had never
heard before. Finally he recovered
presence of mind enough to descend
into the grave and break open the
rough box in which the coffin was
encased. Then the noisv was repeat
ed, and he knew that the occupant of
that grave, who, in a few moments
more, wotdd have been consigned to
a horrible d«#th, and whom'his
friends had already mourned as dead,
was sjill alive and anxious to bo set
free.
i A screw driver was sot u procured
! from the undertaker present, and the ;
: colfin removed, when it* occupant,
( instead of being weld and dead, as he
| had appeared when last seen, was ;
j found to be once more 4,live. Ilia j
friends who had by this time recov ,
ered courage enough to return to the
grave were, of course, almost over-,
joyed at this strange and uneipected
turn of affairs and hastened to rescue
the late deceased from his unpleasant j
quarts.s an I remove him to one of t
the carriages in waiting, where he,
was rolled up in a plentiful supply of
blankets and lap-rebes,and the frieuds
who iiad lately followed him sorrow
ingly to tue grave, now tiasteue 1
jot fully toward their homes. The
rescued man was so overcome, 011
being rescued from his perilous posi
lion, that he was for a long time un
able to speak, and what h'S feelings
while undergoing buiiai, or whether
ha was conscious at all or not until j
the last moment, when ne u anaged ,
to signify that he was still alive, is

A Hiul End of a Bad Begin
ning.
A lovo*t»f notoriety is one of tlie
most fruitful sources of degrada
tion. Many young ladies, who
turn up their noses at a poor young
man who honestly earns his liv
ing, are always ready to go into
exstacies over a (irumt Duke or a
plug ugly who may he fortunate
enough to obtain a dubious celeb
rity. We have been led into these
remarks by a St. Louis romance,
from which a moral might he taken.
In 1808, Mike McCool, the prize
fighter, was in the height!) of his
renown, and was recognized as
the head and front of the St Louis
roughs. A young and beautiful
girl, M' ts Mary Ann Nanghton
became enamored of the m mater,
and despite the entreaties of dis
erect friends, agicpd to marry
him The wo Ming was eelebtated
with great pomp, and the church
•vas crowded with the elite, of St.
Louis society, who attended to see
a foolish grl throw herself away.
For a wo le McCool gave up the.
roped arena, and "caj cred nimbly’
in" his lady's chamber to the pouise
music of "brandy smashes for
six." But Mike was not permit

be le t his wife and his saloon in j
ciiarge of a trusty fiend. When
at I »st McCord returned home lie
iteuid such rumors as made him
shoot nt his friend, and have a
scene with his wife. After this,
report h repvf-Henf -ii M rs. MV.- tool
