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.

Tho heads of hie columns and all his lines havo been so badly haltered and squabbled, that the last “proof” shows them not worth “revising.” It is too “dirty” for oome-i’am-on, and the typo is too crooked to bo “set up - ’ again. The “devil” may ns well “dump” it in “h an old, falso-bot tomed pkbescite ballot-box. Adioholu, August Seizer—Septombor Shearling.—Banner of Lib erty. A correspondent of the Scientific American writing from Columbia, S. C., propounds tho following ; “My laundress boils a bunch of peach leaves with her clothes to wliiten them. Is it on idea, or is there any chemical action produced? The olothes are certainly very white when they come from her hands ? Ono of tho features of tho approaching Fair nt Augusta will ho a through passenger car to be run from St. Louis.

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 kick hor beoattso it wouldn’t eel! for more, and ■ because he has a little money hi.i whole history is varnished up and paraded before the public ns an ora.qplo for little boys of thirty or forty years of ago. Ho is so pious that when ho sneezes tho feathers fly from tho placo whore wings aro going to ho put when he becomes an angel. Nice angels they’d make.

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.

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.
