THE EXPOSITOR WAYNESBORO’, OA-, BUBSCKIPTION PHCI-IJI ADVANCE: Two 1 )ollarrt per Annum. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1872. [From tho Hearth and Home.] Tin* Troublesome Baby. The little one clings to the mother, With kieses that softly fall, But somehow tho troublesome baby Is nearest her heart of all; Sick, anil fretful, aud small, Bet dearest to mother of all! The neighbor’s wonder and pity, Hearing its qu**relou cry. "She is losing her youth nad beauty," Say frieuds as they pass her by. "Well, were the balie to die, ■‘Ami the mother rest," they sigh. Rosy and round and dimpled, Dewy with childish sleep, She tucks in her other darlings, Whom angels watch and keep, Ah! if a darker angel Anear this treasure creep ! Bless thee, beautiful mother! Thy heart hath a place for all Room fov the joys and the sorrows, However fast they tall; Room for the baby small, That may l®ve thee best of all! hope. Hope has the power of soaring with a strong and untiring pinion from all that is dark and drear, into the radient at*uophero of poetry. It takes us into a world of dreams, and causes the heart to wander amongst visions. It unfolds a dazzling scroll, and shows us engraven on it a l immortal name. Its holy task is to exhibit to us, even when caro surrounds us, and we are treading along a harsh paths a time of dizzy joys, and to change into bright enchantment the stern realities of actual life. Nor do the strength of its dreams! tho nobleness of its desires, and the beauty of its thoughts, cease to actuate and influence our hearts even when life grows pale and wane fast, when w e turn our thoughts from earth to heaven on the couch of sickness, aud when the faint voice and fainter pulse speak in warning whispers of a time to die. It boldly walks, with us prompting the spirit never torepine from tlio cradle to the grave. We all hope. In every one of us that passion finds an object to feed upon. We all form some beautiful—we all sketch Borne fancy portrait, which we loudly cherish, aud hope to find the fair original. When hope first sheds its influence upon the heart all one’s roving thoughts are concentrated upon one object. A vacuum withiu is filled, of vbieh we have never before known the extent. Heedless indifference to suc cess in life forsakes one. Anew stimu lus succeeds; the mind revolves splen did success. All the alluring avenues of fame are spread open before us. We. burn to achieve some arduous enter prise which shall be worthy of the mind of man. But strong as is the spell of hope to incite and inspire us, equally strong is it to elude aud deceive us. The fraud is sweet but bitter pain and keen despair await to torment us upon awaking, and fiuding its chain broken, and lying around us iu glitter ing fragments. Tbe heart that trusts the syren smile of hope drinks tbe most copious draught of pleasure while it grasps its soul-sought treasure, but when tbe mystic gleam departs, the heart sinks coldly, and too often breaks amidst the world’s unkinduess. — ■ • ♦ Frie NDSiur. —Do not believe, be cause a man smiles upon you and seek, your society, that he is your friend Smiles and professions, alas 1 are so abundaut as to be of no vajuc. He is only your friend whose heart is iu bis words, aud actions illustrate them ; who stands by you is all vicissitudes ef for tunc in sunshine and iu shade. When you find such a being, make him your second self; cling to him as your very life, for the jewels of the earth are ncaroe, and therefore prccions : for the sand of life but glitters in the radiance of a high enjoyment, and even the golden bowl is broken at the fountain. —♦ ♦ Some mer. make a great floursh al ways doing what they believe to be right, but always manage to .believe that is right which is for their own in terest. Funeral ol (ileiii'riil J. Patton Anderson. The funeral of Gen J. Patton Ander son, one of the purest citizens and most gallant soldiers of tho South, took place Sunday last at Memphis, where tho de ceased resided when the death angel came to summon home the gallant hero to that land whence so many of his noble comrades in arms have gone since the war cloud floated from the country. Speaking of tho funeral the Memphis Appeal nays : "The funeral of Gen. J. Patton An derson took place from tho Cumberland Presbyterian Church, yesterday, in the forenoon. The sacred edifice was crowd ed with people. The solemn services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Richard son, of Chelsea, who preached the tune ral oration. The coffin, which was de posited near the reading desk, was cov ered with wreaths of evergreens and flowers. The street witluut was crowd ed with carriages, while the sacred edifice within presented a scene of sad ness and mourning. The solemn silence during the services was oppressive. The following gentlemen acted as pall-bear ers : Gens. N. R. Forrest, W. Y. C. Ilumes, M. J. Wright, Win. M. Browne, G. W. Gordon, G. J. Pillow, C. W. Adams, J. C. Fizcr; Cols. T. W. .brown, J. 11. Edmondson, R. F. Looney, and Capt. W. G. Barth. The religions ceremonies j having been concluded, the pall-bearers carried the coffin forth aud deposited ( it in the hearse. The deceased Gen eral’s war-horse was in the cortege which moved down Main street to Beale, aud bo out to the Cemetery. The funeral procession was nearly half a mile long.” How Joe Lost Ills Bet. An old fellow, named Joe Poole, very eccentric and an incorrigible stutterer was a constant lounger at the tavern in Waterford, Me. One day a traveller, from a distant part of the State, arrived at the tavern and was met by an old acquaintance, a resident of the town. After some conversation on different topics, the traveller was addressed as follows: “By the way, Brown, look out for old Poole to-night. You will know him quickly enough by bis stuttering. He will be sure to come around and offer to bet that you’ve not got a whole shirt to your back. If you take him up, you will surely lose by a trick he’s got, lie invariably offers to lay his wager, and always wins.” “Very well,” said the traveller, I'll not let him get ahead of me. Much ob liged for the caution.” Tho evening arrived, and a large crowd collected in the bar-room. Our friends were there, and old Joe Poole was present aud iu lus element. “I’ll tell you wh-what. \ T ou are nicely dressed, but I’ll bet you ten dollars you haven’t got a whole shi-sh shirt to your back.” “I’ll take the bet.” said the strang er; “put the money in the landlord’s hands.” This being done, the traveler pulled off his coat, aud was about following suit with bis vest, when old Joe cried out: “Ho-ho-hold on. You've lost. Ha ha-half your shirt is in front, and the other half is on your ba-back.” There was a roar of laughter, hut the new comer did not mind it, but pulled off his vest, too, an and quietly turning his back to Joe, displayed to his astonish ed gaze a shirt neatly folded and placed underneath bis suspenders. Of course the laugh was turned upon Poole, who acknowledged that he had lost the wager. He uever offered to bet again. Chicago lias discovcrd an addition to its list of attractions in a cemetery which possesses the property of pet rifying bodies interred therein. A baby lately exhumed there was so per fectly “marblified”(Chicago vernacular) that its relatives wanted to take it home as a mantel ornament; and it is uow suggested that a company be form ed to bury people in artistic attitudes and thus establish a statue-factory to supply art galleries throughout the world. ♦ Josh Billings says he never will pat ronize a lottery so long as he can find any one else to rob him at reasonable wages. A Hundukd Ykaiis to Comk.—No man appears to think how soon he must sink into oblivion—that wc arcono gen eration of millions. Yet such is the fact. Time and progress have, through countless ages, come marching hand in hand—the one destroying, the other | building up. They seem to create little or no commotion, an t the work of | destruction is us easily accomplished as | a child will pull to pieces a rose. Yet J such is tho fact. A hundred years hence, and much that wo now see around us will have passed away. It is but a repetition of life's story ; we arc born, we die; and hence, wc will grieve over these venerable piles, finding the ! common level of their prototypes in Nature—ultimate death. "We all within our grave shall sleep, A h mill roil years to come. No living soul shall weep, A hundred years to come! “But other men our lands will tell, And other men our streets Will till And other birds shall sing as gay, As bright the sun shine as to-day, A hundred yens to come.” A Goon Story of .'lit. Skwaud.— James Brooks writes to the New York Krprm from China: They tell a good story in Pekin of Governor Seward when here, doubtless a lie, but too good a story to bo lost for that. The expectations of the cx-governor wore doubtless great, when ho entered the great capital of this great empire, with, which he had made a great treaty; and he, therefore, indu'ged in these great expectations of a great welcome. As he entered the gates of Pekin, a great funeral procession was corning out, with music, catafalque, etc., all as imposing as a grand procession of some great dead man could well bo made. The governor was entering with the marine band of tho Colorado, mounted on don keys, ns this grand procession was going out. The great living and the great dead thus met. The governor, natur ally enough, concluded this was in honor of his grand entree, and he rose, and rose, in his open Sedan chair, and bow ed, and bowed, and then ordered a halt, and got out, and bowed, and bowed again, to the catafalque and the dead. The Chinese thinks all foreigners are rather mad, and hence did not marvel over it as much as they might; but when Governor Seward fonnd out what lie had done, the story is he was more road than pleased. The Rochester Courier says : <; A fond father in Rochester had suspected his daughter of having stolen moon light walks with a lover whom he had refused her seeing, and, iu coming home the other night at a late hour, thought he saw his daughter’s arm linked in with the hated lover’s. The indignant papa took the young man by the collar, and was giving him a good shaking, when lie found he had got hold of the wrong man, and soon learned that the parties were a highly respectable mar ried couple, who were coming home from prayer-meeting.” The uncertainty of life has passed into a proverb. Rut in Kansas, death is dreadfully uncertain. The Franklin county woman who swallowed a pint of laudanum is pulling her husband’s hair with all her primeval vigor. The man who was crushed into atoms by the fall ing stone quarro of Secondinc is earn ing $4 50 a dny. The man that was struck by lightning in Sedgwick county is cutting corn. An old woman, 105 years of age, has taken a homestead claim beyond Hays City, and now Mr. Jamison, of Cherokee, who was shot with n double-barrelled gun full of buckshot, iu the breast, at the distance of twenty feet and was instantly killed by his son-in-law, Mr. Hoffman, is up aud around as if nothing had happened, and is to-day one of the livlicst aicn in Crawford county. A person more remarkable for in quisitiveness than for correct breeding —one of those who, devoid of delicacy and reckless of rebuffs, pry into evrey thing—took the liberty to question Alexandre Duma’s father closely con cerning his genealogical tree. “You are a quadroon, Mr. Dumas?” lie began. “I am, sir” quietly replied Dumas, who has sense cliough not to be asham ed of a descent he can not conceal. ‘•And your father?” “Was a mulatto.” “ Aud your grandfather?” “A negro,” hastily answered the dramatist, whose patience was waning fast. “And may I inquire what your great grandfather was?” “An ape, sir,” thundered Dumas, with a fierceness that made his imper tinent interrogator shrink into the smallest possible compass. “An aoe sir—my pedigree commences where yours terminates.” Miscellaneous Advertisements.
