An Answer.
Nay, ask not why I loved him
With passion deep and strong,
Tito knowledge of Love’s mysteries,
Does not ?o me belong.
presence moved mo strangely
With eweet, celestial power,
As sunshine, growing on tho bud,
Unfurls the fragrant flower 1
His fickleness and falsity
Were then to me unknown,
And I deemed his passion pecrloss
And perfect on my own!
I would then have questioned sooner
The truth of God above,
Than cast one careless doubt on hik —
So madly did I love !
He was not what 1 dreamed him then
In vision far and fair,
But false as Fancy’s phantasms
That vanish in the air;
!I;s passion was a mockery
Os tenderness and truth—
llow bitterly I new bewail
That vision of my youth !
When I compared my hero
To those of storied song,
I found enchantment not in them
As did to nut belong!
All! ns faithless as fate proved him,
By his every glance anti tone
I do believe in that fair time
- Ills heart was all my own.
And by that power bewitching
I felt when first we met,
And by my heart, I know that Past
He uovor can forget 1
For Nature changed for him and me
In tenderness divine
When I gazed in his azure eyes
And he smiled down iu mine t
Alas ! to me ho was u Power—
A Presence of pure love,
As sweet as perfumed sighs of Juno,
Ab gentle as a dove!
But whore my ideal god onoo rcignod
So radient and rare,
A sorrow keen, u grief profound
Now darkens all the air.
An idol shattered in the dust,
Broke to my wretched face I
And stains of shame on Faith’s fair fame,
No weeping cun efface t
Love’s lute that once sweet music woke—
Now riven and unstrung—
On earth no more shall echoing sigh
The tender songs Hope snug!
• Nor min the rays of brightness
Tho future years may weor,
Iu royalty and radiance
With that dear dream ooroparo i
And no after time of sweetness
Can e’er to me restore
The p' ry and the gladness
Y.Tiioh life's bright morning wore!
Os r-.-:-* lug the onebantment
(if a love that vviit; untrue—
In Oblivion's turbid wators
All Hope’s nr. p Vu 1 too;
But when the hi ft great rest is ours,
And Life’s last chain is liven,
When angels chiis. Hour harps and crowns
I'M. er.AiM v !iteam IN Heaven.
A Word to .Mothers.
Each mother ' a histoii-.u. She writes not
tho history of empire- or rs nations on paper,
hut the rentes her own history on tho itnpor
ishablo mind if her child.
That tablet and tl/*fc history will remain
indelible when the . ’-ball be no more. That
history each mother shall moot aguin, and
read with eternal joy or unutterable grief in
tho coming age of eternity. The thought
should wci. It on the mind of every mother,
and render her deeply circumspect, prayerful
and faithful in her solemn work of training
up hei r heaven < nd immortality.
The minds of children are susceptible and
easily impressed. A word, a look, may en
grave an improseion on the mind of tho child
which r:o lapso of time can efface or wash out.
You walk along tho sea shore when the tide is
out, and you form characters or writo words o r
names in the smooth white sand which is spread
out so clear and,beautiful at your feet as your
fancy may dictate ; but the returning tide shall
in a few hours wash out and efface all you have
written. Not so the lines and characters of
truth and error which your conduct imprints
on tho mind of your child. There you write
impressions for the everlasting good or ill of
your child, which neither the floods nor the
slow moving ages of eternity can obliterate.—
How careful should each mother be in her
treatment of her child !
How prayerful and how seriouß, and how
earnest to eternal truths of God on
his mind—those truths whioh shall be hie
guide and teacher when her voice shall be si
lent in death, and lips no longer move in
prayer in his behalf, in commending her dear
child to her covenant God.
“You must admit, doctor,” saida witty lady
to a celebrated doctor of divinity, with whom
she was arguing the question of the “equality
of the sexes,” “you must admit that woman
was created before man.” “Well, really, mad
am,” said the astonished divine, “I must ask
you to provo your case.” “That can bo easily
done, sir”’ she naively replied, “Wasn’t Eve
the first inaid?”
‘Time works wonders,’ as the old lady said
when she got married after a thirteen years'
courtship.
Hugged Against His Will.
A meet ludicrions scene transpired in a
placo not* thousand miles from the city of
Louisville, one nighc last week, which though
a little fcnnoying to tho persons immediately
concerned, was just so innocent and funny
that we cannot refrain from giving the general
outline*, suppressing names of course.
Two sprightly and beautiful young iadics
were visiting their cousin, another young lady
who, like her guests, was of that happy ago
which tu-ns everything into fun and merri
ment. Ii the truth were told, wo fear we
would have to record that these three misses
were a Bjtie bit fast. They were fond of play
ing practical jokes, and were continually play
ing all sorla of pranks with each other. All
throe ocajtipied a room on the ground floor, and
huddled in one bed.
Two of the young Indies attended a party
on tho nir ht in question, and did not get homo
until half past twelve o’clock at night. As it
was lato they concluded not to disturb the
household, so they quietly stepped into their
room through tho low open window.
In about half an hour after they had left
for the party a young Methodist minister
oallod at the house where they were staying,
und craved for a night’s lodging, whioh, of
course was granted. As ministers always havo
the best of everything, the old Indy put him to
sleep in. U'.fe best room, and tho young lady
(Fauuie) w,Uo had not gone to tho party, was
intrusted, ft:th tho duty of sitting up for tho
absent ones and informing thorn of tho change
of rooms, Sho took up Lor post in the parlor,
and, as tho night was sultry, sleep overcame
her, and she departed ou an oxoursion to the
land of dreams.
We will now return to the young ladies who
lind gono to their room through tbo window,
by tho dim light of the moonbeams aa they
struggled through the curtains, tbo young !a»
dicsjwere enabled to descry the outlines of
Fannie {as thoy supposed) encoucheil in the
middle of the bed. They saw more, to wit, a
pair of biots. They saw it all. Fannie had
set (lie boots in tho room to give them a good
scare. They put their heads together, and
determined to turn the tables on her. Silently
they disrobed and stealthily as oats they took
up their position on each sine of the bed. At
a givon signal they both jumped into hod, one
on each side of tho unconscious parson, laugh
ing and screaming, "Oh, what a wan! Oh,
what a man !” and gavo tho poor bewildered
minister such a promiscuous hugging and tor
acling aa few persons got in tho course of n
lifetime.
Tho noiio tof tho proceeding awoko tho old
lady nho w<v= (.looping in an adjoining room.
She com (Unbended the situation iu a moment,
and rusliLg to the room, sho opened tho door
and exclaimed “Gracious, it is a man—its a
man such - ..gti.” Thera was n-.o .—•long'd
consolidated scream, a flash of muslin through
the door, and all was over.

The Wilo.
Woman's like the rose blossoming in
the arid deccrt, spreads its rays ever tho bar
ren plain of the human heart, and while all
* around it is black and desolato, it rises more
I strenghtenet! from the absonce of every other
charm. In no situation does the love of wo
man appear more beautiful than in that of a
wife; parent, brethren and friends, have claims
upon tho affections, but the lovo of a wifo is
of a distinct and different nature. A daughter
may yield her life to the persorvation of u
parent—a sister may devoto herself to a suf
foiin ; brother, hut tho feelings which induco
her to this conduct aro not such as those which
load a wifo to follow the husband of hor ohoieo
through every pain and peril that, can befall
him, to watch ovsr him in danger, to cheer
him in adversity, and ever remain unaltered
at his side in the depths of ignominy and
shame. It is an heroic devotion which a wo
man displays in her adhemnee to the fortunes
of a hapless husband. When we behold her
domestic scones, a mere passive orenturo of
enjoyment—an intellectual joy, brightening
the family circle which her endearments aro
calculated to impart—wo can scarcely credit
that tho fragile being, who seems to hold her
existence by a thread, is capable of supporting
tho exirome of human suffering; nay, when
tho heart of man sinks beneath tho weight of
agony, that sho should maintain hor pristine
powers of delight, and by her words of com
fort and patience, lead tho distracted mur
muror to peace and resignation.
Self-Made Men. —A humorous correspon
dent of the Now York Dispatch thus discusses
this hacneyod topio :
All tho old cusses who before they peg out
want to read thoir epitaphs in print, have get
in the way of getting a wood cut, and being
held up before tho community us ‘self-made
men.’ Thoir virtues aro measured by thoir
pile. Tako an old wart who would take from
a sick woman the tin spoon that she used to
tako her medicine with, r.r.d sell it for a cent
to help to pay her rent, and thon go back and

The Washington correspondent of tho Br.i
tirnore Sun saya:
. :"s. ift A. Pollard, who figured in a shoot*
it:• ..hair in Haiti more a year or so since, and
more recently hi a largo sized scandal at tho
Ft. Gl-md Hotel in this city, was to-day ad
mitted to the Government Insane Asylum on
an order from tiro acting Secretary of the Ins
tailor, on the ground that sho was insane an !
a pauper. She was until recently, supposed
to be the proprietor of the Gt. Cloud Hotel.
In consequence of statements made in a
letn r going tho rounds of the prcs3 recently,
to the effect that there were several thousand
Confederate prisnne-ra on tb Dry Tortuga* in
a state of destitution, without means of getting
away, Mr. George F. Marlow, of Selma, ad
dressed a letter to the War Department, asking
as to to tho truth of tho statement. Tbo en
quiry was responded to by Th D. Townsend,
Adjutant General of tho United States, who
says “there is net a singlo Confederate prisoner
in the custody of the United States anywhere
at this time.” ITe r.ays “there were never
moro than two thousand men, U. S. soldiers,
prisoners and all, if ns many, at or.e timo on
that island. All these statements concerning
tho Torlugas are utterly false.”
To Fatten lloos RaTidi.t.—A correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette vouches for tho fol
owing as tho best food to mako the biggest hog
out of a pig in twelve month* :
Take two quarts of barley, two of corn and
ono of oats. Grind them*togethor; thon cook
and feed cold. This way of feeding is tho
cheapest to make hogs fat from tho time thoy
are pigs. Take any pig of a good improved
breed, and it can ho made in this manner to
gain ono pound per day until a year old.
Tho Columbus Sun says : A gentleman told
us yesterday that ho had gathered from a field
of throe and a half acres, heavily guanoed, in
Russell county. Alabama, 5,100 pounds seed
cotton, making three bales of the ginned staple,
110 also added that he expected to gather a
bale or two more from the same land.

lean.; Picayune is responsible for tho follow
ing sensation :
A curious discovery was made quito lately
on the g’.r.nn of an attic window in a two story
house in Lawrence, of tho face of a female
with flowing hair, and partly covering tha
panes of glass, the face being entirely on ona,
and the hair flowing into tho other pane. The
appearance is. that of a faded photograph,
thntgk ViriMe. The •
question is, how came the face on that win*
dow? Nobody knows. Nobody can give a
more rational answer than that it may have
be--a photographed by lightning, unbeknown
to tl e lady who was sitting in front of the
inflow during n thunder storm. When first
li.-vovered, too face was thought to resemble
. i • Iderly lady who had just been buried
. si the h uso; and it was immediately
worked up into a first class ghost story, and
regarded as a wonderful spirit manifestation.
But l üb-o cent examination has failed to dis
ci u; yre mblance in the departed elderly
lady, whose ghost it was supposed to be ; and .
•.•i-.'.ior inclined people to believe it to be the
: and head o. a young woman. Thus the
■ , itery remrflns unsolved. The face and
head of a female have oortainly made their

’.■.•body can tell whence they caine or how
tho picture was made.
