NOBODY’S ( Illlill.^ Alone in the dreary, pitiless street. With my torn old dress and bare cold feet, All day I've wandered to ai*d fr‘\ Hungry uml shivering, and nowhere to go, The night, is coming on in darkness and dread, And the chill sleet heating upon my bare head; Ami why does the wind blow upon me so wild? Is it because Urn nobody's child* Just over the way there’s a flush of light, And warmth ami beauty ami all things bright; Beautiful ehihliv robes si* fair, Are caroling songs in rapture there. I wonder if they, in their blissful glee, WouW |'Uv t\ jmov little beggar like me, Wandering atom- in tlu> merciless street, Naked and shivering, and nothing to eat? Oh ! what shall I do when the night comes down, In its terrible blackness over the town? Shall I lay me down neath the ati„ry sky, On the cold, hard pavement stone to die? When the boaittifV.l children their prayers have said, And their mammas have tucked them up snugly in bed. No dear mother ever upon me smiled; Why is it, I wonder? Fm nobody’s child! No mother, no sister - not otVo In all the world loves me; e'en tin* little dogs run When I wander 100 near them ; 'tis wondrous to flow everything shrinks from a beggar like mol Perhaps ’tis a dream; but. sometimes when I lie Gazing far up in the dark blue sky. Watching for hours some large bright star, I fancy the beautiful gates arc ajar. And a host, of white robed, nameless things Come fluttering o’er me in gilded wings; A hand that is strangely soft a.ul fair Caresses gently my tangled half, And a voice like the carol of some wild bird The sweetest- voice that, ever was heard Calls me many a dear pot name, Till my heart and spirit are all aflame. Ami tells me ofsucfi unbounded h«ve, And bids me come up to their home above; They look at me with their soft, sweet blue eyes, And it seems to me, out of the dreary night, l am going up to that world of light, And away from the hunger and storms so wild; 1 am sure I shall then be somebody's child. YRistcllaufous Jleabmg;. Romance at Aledo Uuocli Ai tlen Outdone. In tlie early part of the war John lfitg-lics, who at that time lived in .Mode, a little town some twenty Hides from Muscatine, and in Illinois, went into the army. But a week Indore he enlisted he married an estimable young httly to whom he had been l-nlg- betrothed. It j was the desire of both that the nuptials should be celebrated before his depart ure. We suppose John’s experience for a while was similar to that id hundreds of our young- men who volunteered in de fense of their country. On Smith’s ix pedit on up Kcd River, however, he had the misfortune to be wounded, and in that condition fell into the hands of the enemy after the hatlie of Pleasant Hill, lie was cent with others to Tyler, Texas, where lie became insane, and from thence lie was transferred to the lunatic asylum at Austin. The news came back linm. that lie had been killed at Pleasant Hill, and be was so reported on the rolls ol his regiment. His young bride mourned for nearly two years, when, on the ad \ ice of her pareuts and friends, she ac cepted the hand of another, and married bun last December. Her lirst husband was discharged from the asylum restor ed again to ins reason, and as soon as lie could afumulaie the necessary means, lie started for home. Arriving at New Boston, the nearest river town to Aledo, he fell in with a man from that place, and without making himself known, soon learned the condition ot affairs at home. Grieved beyond expression, he thought over the situation, and finally determined, like Enoch Arden, to leave his whilom wife and her new-found love to themselves. Following out the resolve, he came to thin city, and thence went up into Tama county, where ho had distant relatives living. The desire to hear from ids old home became at last so ab sorbing that, under an assumed name, lie subscribed to the Aledo Record, the village paper. East month be saw an announcement of the death of his wife’s second husband, together with a para graph sympathising with the bereaved widow, and giving urn account ot his own death,as illustrative of the hardness of her lot. Knowing that his wife was again free, ho forgot whatever resent ment lie might have felt over her second marriage, and on Sunday last lie put in appearance in person. What was said at the eventful meeting wo have no idea Whether, without a word, the re-united couple rushed to each other’s arms and vowed that bygones should be bygones or whether crimination and recrimination followed only to be at last overcome by the hallowed recollections of days before the war, we know not. Wo do know, though, that the couple came to this city Mo- v night, put up at the Ogilvie, arid yesterday morning took the train west ward to their new home in Tama county, j ]f appearances can at all be rc’icd on, wo will wager our bottom dollar that to day there isn’t a happier man this side of the Rocky mountains, than this same John Hughes. As for Mrs. John Hughes, dear reader, she looked less like a w.d-j iiw than she did like a bride, aid if you can draw any conclusions from this state ment, you are welcome to them. — Musca tine, (la.)

"Halloa, ’’ I.impy, the cars will start in j a minute ; hurry up, or we shall leave I you behind.” The earn were waiting at a station of one of our Western railr ads. The bag gage master was busy with e-honks - The men were kurryiiiK to ant’ IDS with | chests and valicses, packages and trunks ) -men, ami women, and children were rushing for the ears and busily st curing their seats, while the locomotive pulled and blowod. A man carelessly dressed was stan ding on the platform of the depot. He was looking around him, and seemingly [mid little attention to wlmt was passing, ft was easy to see that he tvit- hunt).— At a Imsly glance one might easily have supposed that he was neither a man of wealth nor influence. The conductor of the train gave him a contemptuous look, and slapping him familiarly on the shoul der called out— “Halloa, Eimpy, better get aboard, or the cars will leave you behind !” "Time enough, 1 reckon,” replied the individual addressed, and retained his seemingly listless position. The last trunk was tumbled into the baggage car. “Alt aboard,” cried the conductor. “Go on Limpy 1” said he, as lie passed the lame curiously dressed man. The lame man made no reply. Just as the train was slowly moving away, the lame man stepped on the platform of the last car, and walking in quietly took a seat. The train had moved on a few miles, the conductor appeared at the door < f the ear where out- friend was sitting.— Passing along he soon discovered the st'-anger whom he had seen at the sta tion. "Hand out your money, here.” "I don’t pay,” replied the lame man quietly. “Don’t pay?” “No, sir.” “We’ll see about that. 1 shall put you out at the next station.” Ami ho seined the v.-.E:-.o which was on the rack over llie head of his trie fid. “Hotter not he too rough, young man,’ returned the stranger. The conductor released the carpi, t and, seeing he could do no more then, he soon passed to collect the fare front the other passengers. As he stopped at a seat a few paces off, a gentleman who had heard the conversation just mention ed looked up to the conductor and asked him: “Do you know to whom you were speaking just now?” “No sir." ‘That was P t.-t- VVarbarton, the Pres ident of the i • i..d.” “Are you sure of that sir ?” replied the eondustor, trying to conceal his agita tion. “I know him.” “The color rose on the young man’s face, but with a strong effort he controll ed himself, and went on collecting fare ; as usual. Meanwhile Mr. Warlmrton sat qnietly in his neat : none of those near him could unravel the expression of his face, nor could tell, what would be the next movement in thu scene. And he—of what though* he '! He had been rudely treated ; he had been unkindly taunted with the infirmity which had come per haps through no fault of his. lie could revenge himself if be choose. Do could tell the directors the simple truth, and the young man would he deprived of his place ul once. Should ho do it ? And yet why should ho care ? lie know how ho had risen by his own exer tions to the position he held. VV ben a young orange peddler bo stood by tbe si root crossings ; he had many a rebuff He had outlived those days of hardship ; lie was respected now. Should lie care for a strangers roughness or taunts.— Those who sat near tpm waited curiously to see the end. Presently tlie conductor came back..— With a steady energy ho walked up to Mr. Warlmrton’s side. He took bis book from bis pocket, the bank bills, the tick ets which lie had collected, and laid them in Mr. WarbfH-ton’s hand. “I resign try place sir,” he said. Tho I’residcnt looking over tho ac counts for a moment, then inviting him to the vacant scat at his side said : “Sit down, sir ; I would like to talk with you.” As the yofing man satdo-fvn the Presi dent turned to him a lace, in which there was no angry feeling, and spoke to him in an under tone'. “My friend I have no revengeful feel ings to gratify in this matter ; hut j'ott have In 'ii very imprudent ? Your man ner, had it been thus to a stranger, would have been very injurious to the interests of the company. I might tell them of this, but I will not. By doing so, I should throw you out of .your situation, and you might find it difficuP to find another.— b t in future remember to be polite to all you meet. You cannot judge a man by the Coat lie wears, and even the poorest should be treated with civility. Take your book, sir I shall tell no one of what i has 'passed. It you change your course, nothing that lias happened shell injure you. Your situation is etiil continued. Good morning sir.” The train of cars swept on as many a train hail done before ; but with it a lesson had been given ami learned, and | the purport of the lesson ran somewhat | thus : “Don’t judge from appearances.” j How to get Rich-—Stick to' your busi ] ness.

AboTt t-t jrtv-t.l«v*a> and tt third years ago; there dwelt nomroftlie r-.h'l -,is tritUt of ’'cut-gin tin old codger by the name of Rutt-0-.ilt Kaylor, who had for merly enjoyed the honors and emolu ments pertaining to tho office of Justice of the Peace, the duties of which office ho discharged with acknowledged ability and dignity; and so far as his neighbors were capable of judging, lie appeared to lie a ve:y honest man. lie had, however, acquired tlie habit ot "trumping tip” ac counts against (lie estates of those of his neighbors who were so unfortunate its to “shiilHo off their mortal coils” within the bounds of his bailiwick. Ho had carried the practice to such an extent as to a rouse a suspicion in the minds of some of his meddlesome neighbors that there might be “something dead” somewhere in “the seat of his—” financial operations. Hob Grogan, who lived in the" neighbor hood, and "run” the postoflice at the crossroads, being something of a wag, and having an idea that tlie Squire’s hon esty should be quoted below par, conclu ded, with the connivence and assistance of a few comrades, to “unearth tlie sly old fox,” and expose his rascalities. Ac cordingly Hob pretended to die, was reg ularly shrouded and laid out on the cool ing board hi tho most approved fashion, and sorrowing friends proceeded to spread the news of his demise, which soon reached the cars of old Kutt-Cutt. He lost no (line in repairing to the house of mourning, carrying with him a “full and complete assortment” of first class condolence and sympathy for gratuitous distribution turning tho members of the bereaved family, and tlie many sorrowing friends of tlie supposed deceased, who were present when lie arrived. After he had relieved his heart of its burden cf healing words, and had succeeded in a tolerable effort of crying, and was about to leave tlie scene, lie tenderly spoke as follows: “All, poor Bob, I’m sorry be died; lie was a good feller, and I alius jliked him. When me and him went to the races at Augusta—now nigh nlito two years ago dollars to bet 11 i 11t I 111 0 ■ l ‘ ;■ it its of course I can get it out of hiy: estate, and— Butt Putt didn’t finish the sentence, for just at this point Bob, tlm'corpse, slowly raised tip bis shroud, and stretching- out his arms toward the rogue, as if to clutch him, yelled: “Von are an infernal old liar, and if-—” The din and roar drowned the rest, and old Butt-Cute didn’t wait to see or hear anything more, but with the hurried exclamation, ‘goddlemity,’ he stmt thro’ the door, hurried to bis homo, “packed lip traps,” and not only left tho neigh borhood, but the State of Georgia for ever. A Gallant Soijiif.r’s Opinion. —The daily papers are making a great muddle over the opinions of the prominent gen erals and the people at large on the qnes tiou of reconstruction. They tell us that Grant approves of tho course of the Pres ident, that Thomas agrees with Sheridan and that Sherman favors the plan of Con gross, or rio: versa according to their pol tical bins. \Ye can tell them all that if the Congressional system is to put the South in possession of the negroes, i, docs not meet the views of the people, the sailors in our fleets, the Soldiers in our armies, the merchants at their desks, the fanners at their ploughs, or any- oth er large body of our citizens. A St. Domingo is not what wo fought for ; wo do out want it, and will not have it ; and that the niggers, whether white or black, may understand as well first as last. Nations are cruel when driven to despair ; and rather than surrender our white nationality, we will massac e or enslave every colored mail in the Slates, 'f is may bo bold language and uncon ventional, but we ask our readers wheth er it does not moot the confirmation of their hearts ? Wo have sacrificed too many wl ites for a principal to stop at taking tlie lives oi a few worthless blacks. — N. I'. Citizen. B®, A correspondent of the Chattu nooga Union tells tho following of a shrewd and comical Atlanta merchant: I heard of a good thing perpetrated by one of them, which was related by him to a New York drummer The merchant aforesaid is in the ready made clothing business and ho told tho gentleman from Now York that when a customer comes in, after lotting him try on several coats, lie would say to him lie had a coat which he-had given a gentleman to take home the night before, but lie was not satisfied with it and returned it. Perhaps it may fit his customer. “Now, you know” says he, “all men are more or less dishonest ; so 1 put a pocket book in one of tlie coat pockets, which only costs mo thirty or forty cents.

The Princess Saint Salm, a yery pret ty little woman, now in her twenty-sev enth year, is not “an American lady,” nor was her maiden name Le Clerq. Her father who has resided in Canada for sev eral years, bears a very different sur name, and is a Colonel in the British' service. Previous to hie residence in Canada he served in tfio Fast Indies; where his daughter was burn, her mother being a half cast Hindoo. It iff pretty clear from these premises; tftttt the Prin cess Salm Salm is hot, and cannot be “a niece of President Johnson.” Ten years, ago she arrived in Philadelphia with “a plentiful scarcity”of money, having*,tap , deed, only tbe clothes .which tth'b then wore. Her story, which there is no rea son to discredit, is that her father haying treated her so harshly as to make Koine unhappy, she had left Canada. At that time, according to the date of her birth in the Almanach do Gotha, Miss Agnes LeClcrq (as slrt ciitfed herself,) wanted some months of sweet seventeen, but she looked three or four years older. She le t Philadelphia early in 185 s, and joj'»- ed a traveling circus, where she soon be came a sort of “star.” She married one. of the horse-riders of the Company, by whom she had one child Inasmuch aS she married her present princely spouse in 1802, it is to be presempd that her first husband died. The ,’qhcess is alike active in mind and b -dy, capable of en during privation and fatigue, quick at resources, lively in conversation, anti easy in her manner;. She speaks French fluently having learned tlie language iti Canada.

Next morning ho repaired to the building and was soon busily engaged at work. Pretty soon Young sent a note to him, requesting that he should come to his office immedi ately. Venters promptly reported, when the following conversation,Jin substance,' took place : . Young—-You voted for Brown: rV and against my best interests, .did von? Venters—Yes, 1 voted for Biownlow. Young—l know it very well, sir.— Make out your account ; 1 will not em ploy any man who votes for a party that robs the people of their rights..

Tlie General bag brought with It in,, from tlie Valley, a rough, uneducated man, full of energy, who bud served him in emergencies, and in whom he had the utmost Confidence. He called this man and told him that tlx stream must be bridged immediately;, tbe regular engi neers were advised of tlie fact. In a short time tbe rough Carpenter and the polish ed tpeu ~f ficioncc were at the stream, tho former had his plan, the latter tlieirn; ho wished to go at tlie work at once Willi-) out drawings, but Hiey objected until they could perfect tlie plans on paper.
