He had walked with her, Oft snpt, and broke with her the astien crust, And in the dead leaves still she heard the stir Os his thick mantle trailing in the dust. AVhiic yet her cheek was bright with summer bloom. Her country summoned, and she gave her till, And twice war bowed to her his sable plume Re-gave the sword to rust upon the wall. Re-gave the sword, but not tho hands that drew And struck for liberty tho dying blow ; Nor him who, to his sire and country true, Fell mid the ranks of the invading foe. Long, but not loud, the droning wheel went on, Like the low murmur of a hive at noon 1 Long, but not loud, the memory of the gone Breathed through her lips a sad and tremu lous tone. At last the thread was snapped \ her head was bowed Life dropped the distaff through her hands serene ; And loving neighbors smoothed her careful shroud ; AVhile death and winter closed tho Autumn scene. A New Credit System. A certain merchant in Austria v.r.s recently at the door of his store by an honest-look ing Frenchman, an entire stranger to him. who asked credit for a barrel of floor. ‘lean pay half 7.c cash down and 7.e balance next Satur day, sure.’ The merchant, without hesitation, turned to one of his clerks, and, with a kindly smile on the would-be owner of the barrel of flour, said : ‘This good man wants to get trusted for a barrel of Spur, he’ll pay half down and the rest next Saturday. I’ll ri-k him; he’s good as gold ; open a fresh barrel ; weigh out half, deliver it in good shape at his house, put the barrel away safely, and take it down next Saturday when he pays the rest; never refuse to trust an honest-looking man for bread.’ It was done ; the money was paid, and the French gentleman departed, rejoicing in an abundance of flour nnd unlimited credit.

Ifo had been particularly sweet on a very voune; lady—hu-’ previously paid her several visits. The girl's parents, thinking both too young to begin keeping company with each other, gave them a gentle hint to that i fT,,,t—send ing her tb bed ; and second, by the lady of the house bringing ino the room a huge slice of broad and butter, with n ob. ’S attachment, nnd saying to the youth in her kindest man ner. ‘There, Bobby, take tip - A !-d go home ;it is b long way, nnd your niothor will be quite anxious.’ r i'he latest KukUis ontivge— as if to rebuke Butler for lis audacity in swearing that the South is overrun with murderers— occurred nt Lowell, Mass., the home of the iinunculate gimlet-ey J Congn semen.

A chaplain of the State prison, an enthusi astic devotee of the temperance reform, had the idea that most of the convicts were incar* cerated hrcnuws of the use of whisky. In liis round he met a man of many stripes, and put the usual question to him : ‘Had whbky any thing to off with bringing you here?’ ‘Kyery thing, sir, oyervlhingl' exclaimed the man. The chaplain was encouraged, and eagerly inquired how it was? ‘Well, sir. I’ll te’l you how it was - the judge was drunk, and tho lawyers were all drunk, and so they fetched mo in guilty !’ Blue! Blue! —Tho cotton men are scared wolbnigh out of their boots. They have passed tho four million bridge, and begin to talk about the possibilities that the crop will run up to forty--two, forty-three, fortyvfour and forty-five hundred thousand bales. They scout at all idea of any falling off in produc tion, and sav the crop will move onward and upward, in spite of fate, until it is a mere drug, worth four pence in Liverpool for strict middling and two pence for common dogtail. —Savannah Advertiser, Home Conrtpsifs. Now you young fellow at table reading the evening paper, and nodding in n surly way to year mother nrd sbfrr, take a test.— If you r clothes breathed a delicious fragrance —say of heliotrope or r> ses—but w ould do so only w hen you were at homo, nr only when you went away from home, would you have a perpotual climate of rare od rs in your own house, or elsewhere? Os course you would have i? at home f r your own comfort and enjoyment, you curimldireon, if fur nothing else. But what is domestic courtesy hut the breath of heliotroprs and rr-es \Y h- me? It is as much f r your own p’oe-mre that von should he pleasant a- it is f I hat of others. The happiest household in tho world is that in which courtesy i- now every morning and fresh every evening, like the celestial bene dictions. llow many of us, brethren and sisters, make homo the rag-bag of ill-humors nnd caprices, and wretched moods of every kind, while we carefully hide them from u stranger! When the guest arrives we slide a chair over tho rent in the and slip a t’dv over tlm worn < • of ti e': /.i • uMii-m, ed h? > a pr.ot • tilv bound hook over ihe ink s::tin upon tlh‘ parlor table , *clnth ; and so nt his coming the living hair is smoothed, and the sullen look is glided with a smile, and the sour tono is suddenly wonderfully sweet. Shriveled old Autumn blooms in a moment info rosy Spring. And how is a youth to know that this.house, where every thing seems to smile, is not aU ways as warm and sunny ns he finds it? Yet this young woman, r > noady dressed, ko quU o*ly mannered, so fascinating to the young man, may he the most “inefficient” of human beings. Still he. can never know it until it ig ti o late, He cannot put it to tho proof. He takes the divinity upon trust. All that he knows is that she is a woman, and that he loves. And whether he thinks that house hold intelligence and thrift, and endless com - f -sy come bv nature nnd like Dogberry's read* log nn l writing, or whether he a -un: s that, having n mother, hi- peerless princess has been car'fully taught all the duties o c a queen, or whether, as is most probable, he knows only that he loves, the duty of the parent n still the same. But to the ordeal of the household who can come too well prepared ? And what, parent, wlmt human being, who has learned expe rience. but would gladly equip every child with tho most, perfect equipment? No, I)os rinda Jane, to whom the youth, crusty at home, will presently come sweetly smiling. Ft is not the flowing hair, and the graceful dress, and the bloom upon tho cheek, apd the majestic «top, and the soft lustre of the eye, that will make home happy. No, nor is it his hots os and plate, nnd the luxury and ease he pjr tn-% i|’'H, ii he is bai"sr? what if he has fifty thousand a year? If you ar ' careless and ignorant and helpless, the victim instead of ruler of your house, wlmt if your eyes arc blnck and your cheeks a dim eurnatinn ? And y »u. dear sir nnd madam, who permit that boor to sd surly at the table, and growl in monosyllables ut b me. you who suf fer that fair-faced girl to grow up utterly un equal to the dutii • !<> which she wdl be called, you are responsible.—Gen. Vfm. Curtis. Democratic tut. House.—The correspondent of the Herald writes : Tn the H tuse the Republicans Benin to bo Tearfully domora'i ; M at tho sight of so many Democrats. They have no hope that a Ku-klux bill can bo passed, and very few of them, except the bold Ben Butler, have any idea of tnmg the experiment. The Democrats, tie - allege* would keep them here nil summer. B n But ler .says he is willing to try ip and he can stay ns hmgnsthe Democrats. Butler stated *o day that he did not intend to go into general legis lation, but only to pas* n bill for the yuppres* sion of the Ku-k'ux. One of his co!h agues said tbe Republicans could not pas:; a bill < f that kind if they remained here nil the year. The indications are that the Democrnt’c side of the House will extreme n wholesome re straint in the new Congress over tho lb-publi cans. The latter, at least, s'em to appear to appreciate fully the P*»mo.-retie strength. Dr. Hull tehites ihe -of a man who was cured of biliousness bv g* jog with' ut his sup per and drinking freely of I-m .ale. Every morning, says the Doctor, thi. patient rose w ith a w-nd' i fill sen-e of re- t, r* fre-hmont', and a feeling as though the !»’ *d had been lir erally washed, cleansed, and <. o: i by the lemonade and the fast. Ills theory is thr.l fm and wiil lie used as a remedy for many diseases successfully. For example, he instances cures of-pitting blood by the use of salt, epilepsy and yellow fever, watermelons/, kidney affec tions, celery poison, olive or sweet oil; ery sipelas, pounded cranberries applied to the parts affected ; hydrophobia, onions, etc. So the thing to do in order to keep in good health, is really to know what to eat, and not what med icine to take. Tt is strange how some men carry in their faces and figures a striking resemblance to cer tain animals. After a study of Lavatcr, one can look over this House and he greatly enter tained with illustration*. Butler, for example, is a cross between a seal and a cat, and when fairly aroused he looks like an aged tiger that, through some strange process, had gone bald. Farnsworth always put cue in mind of a biPy g ;;it. Much of this is due to his long, straight beard, and much to the manner in which ho stands up and wags his head, as if he was going to butt somebody,—Don Piatt. Why does the gorilla prefer the tropics to any other part of tho world? Because it is tho only place he can call his rone. 701. 5 NO. 20 A SMALL'Pox Ef.medv. —We clip the follow ing paragraph from an exchange, giving it for whatever the prescription mriv he worth aa » sinall-pox remedy: ... i ; A correspondent of' the Stodkton (Cal.) Herald writes as follows: “f herewith np pend a receipt which has been used to ,my knowledge in hundreds of eases, it will pro-, vent or cure he -mail pox, though the are trifling. When Jennor discovered cnvtk pox in England, tiic world of science hurled an avalanche upon his head, but when the most scientific school of medicine in the world tha* f Fails—published this receipt as a panacea fw small pox, it passed unheeded.— It is unfailing as fate, and conquers in every instance. Pis harmless when taken by a well, p. - on, ft will also cure scarlet fever. Here is the recipe as T have used it, and cured my children of scarlet fever;' here it is ns f used it to cure small pox ; when learned pliy si,dans said the patient must die, it cured : Sulphate of zinc, rue grain ; fox glove (digi talis.) one grain ; half a teaspoonful of sugar ; no: who two teaspoonfuls of water. When tV r lighiv mixed, add four ounces of water. Cuk i00v.r.,1 every iiour. F.ither disenso will disappear in twelve hours. For a child, smaller doses, according to age. If countries would compel their physicians to use this, there would be no need of pest houses. If you value advice and experience, use this for that terrible disease.’’ Pooit Old Hamburg ! —At an election held in Hamburg on the 2d inst., for Municipal odi cer.; of that ancient burg, Prince Rivers (negro) was elected Intendant; and Louis Sch. Her, A, T. Attaway, A. Nurnberger and Joe Tnomas, Wardens. Poor old God-forsaken Hamburg—once the ftou'ishing cotton mart of Western Carolina, now toe abode of a greater number of the most c msumniato Radical thieves, plunderers, and ‘ears of low degree,’ in proportion to popular tion. than ever cursed any other spot on the broad face of this green earth of ours. The f w decant people yet residents of that luck i; s to rn (and there are a few) have our warmest commiseration ; and we would urge them to gather up their households and hie away to the neighboring hills, and there prny fervently for a spring freshet. A freshet forty foot high is now- the only hope for the redemp tion of Hamburg. Brethren let .us pray.— Edgefield (S. 0.) Advertiser. The Sax Domingo Breaker.—The Herald, commenting on the attitude of Mr. Sumner, s«ys : There is a possibility, if Mr. Sumner sticks' to his opposition, that this St. Doming® bujsi- Boss, insignificant and outlandish as it.is, may break up the Republican aorty, Squatter .-'•vc.'Wg.pfy in,.Kansas did v»c' Democracy in the days of Douglas and Brecky enridg.'' fft*l that was a inattw-Uiai qiaafap.' nine.cut of every hundred of our people tosp no interest in. Tilings of little moment are' often the causo of great effects; and it would be too had, indeed, if so meagre a matter as the, appointment of the St. Domingo Commiss sinners should end in a total disruption of the great Republican party. <a> « V One Should not Swear. —An article in: Pittsburg Preacher, give* six good rea son -.vhy a man should not swear : 1.
