BLASTED HOPES.
“BT jack dobIU.",
“’Twas ever thus in childhood’s hoars
I’ve seen my fondest hopes decay
Thus did the bard of Erin say,
And his experience jib** with onra.
And do rot think that I am vain,
Thut to compare myself with Moore
lie loved roast pig, which /adore,
And tike me floated on champagne.
Os rash there always is a dearth,
Whenever l’-m compelled to sell,
When forced to buy a thing—’tia weU,
If I flou’t pay five times its worth!
I bought me once a horse to ride,
(“Indeed he was a noble steed,
A Tartar of the Ukraine breed")—
That night he took the hots and died!
I never owe a man a bill,
And venture out upon the street,
But that's the man I always meet
At every turn, go where I will.
Whene’er upon a girl I’m “sweet,"
A girl, perhaps, without a beau;
Presto! at once she’s “all the go,"
And hundreds bow down at her feet.
’Twas ever thus fwhate’er the cause)
My fondest hopes have all decayed;
I never tried to kiss a maid,
But she was sure to box my
Yes, ever thus—ao ends my rhyme,
I've been a foot ball to my fate;
Kicked here and there, too soon, too late!
But never “in the nick of time.”

I picture her there In the quaint old room,
Where the fading fire light starts and falla,
Alone lu tlie twilight's tender gloom,
With the shadows that dauee on the dim-lit
wall?.
n.
Alone : while those faces took silently down
From their antique frames in a grim repose—
Slight, scholarly Frank, in his Oxford gown,
And staunch dir Allen, who died for Montrose.
hi.
There arc gallants gay in crimson and gold,
There me smiling beauties with powder’d hair,
Out she sits there, fairer a thousand fold,
Leauiug dreamily back in her low arm-chair.
nr.
And the roseate shadows of fading light
Softly clear steal o’er the sweet young face,
Where a “Woman’s tenderness blends to night
With the guilesa pride of her knightly race.
T.
tier small hands lie clasped In a listless way
Ou the old romance, which she holds on her
knee,
Os “Tristram,” the bravest of knights in the fray.
Ami “iseult,” who waits by the sounding sea.
VI.
And the proud, dark eves wear a softened look,
As she watches the dying ernbera fall—
Perhaps she dreams of the knights in the book,
Perhaps of the pictures that smile on the wall ?
VII.
Wlint fincies, I wonder, are thronging her brain,
For her cheeks flush warm with a crimson glow ;
Perhaps— ah, me! how foolish and vain?—
But I’d give my life to believe it ao !

.Well, whether I ever march home again,
To offer rny love and a stainless name,
Or whether 1 die at the head of ray meu,
I’ll he true to the end all the same!

A DJHUUSTED WOMAN 0.1 THE MUSTACHE
“ Susan Snap," in a letter to the
Hearth and Home exhibits a strong dis
liko for the prevailing “ mustache
movement," as she calls it, and dis
courses as follows:
“What is this movement?” she
writes, “ I hardly know how to define
it. It is a combination of mustache,
big knuckles, pre-occupation of man
ner, and temporary imbecility. It is a
spell that falls upon nearly every man
whose upper lip or chin has escaped the
razor for any length of time beyond a
week. Sometimes it is a grappling
movement, (this is when the spirit is
willing, but the hairs are short) some
times twirling, sometimes pulling,
sometimes stroking, sometimes parting,
and, all times ridieulous. If you enter
a ra.lroad ear, you will see the new
movement at once. Even as you look
in tho narrow door-way nearly every
manly elbow on nearly all tho outer
scats along the lino will be giving un
mistakable evidence that mustache or
beard can never bo forgotton by the
man behind it. This is not an extrava
gant statement. I have been there to
see. Once I counted nine gentlemen
seated opposite to mo in a city horse
car, who, one and all, were engaged in
this modern movement. Poor fellows!
They didn’t look at all like tho ancient
Nervi who ivere not allowed to remove
their beard until they had killed their
man. They looked rather as if to be
able to kill time was the limit to their
sanguinary aspirations. There they
sat, all busily engaged in the forms of
twirling, grappling, pulling and com-
ing. One iron-hearted looking youth
was industriously striving to tuck away
the ends ot’a Charles the First botween
his resolute upper and lower lips. He
had nearly succeeded when the conduc
tor came through to collect the fares.
Oh ! what a relief that was ! The man
as he passed along, seemed to mo like
tho angel oftho ontiro nine. And then,
sitting there in my quiet waj’, I began
to wonder why this thing should be.
In vain I invoked De Quincy’s ‘eclectic
for discovering analogies.’ The more
I pondered the less satisfied I became,
and tho more my soul was filled with
reasons why it shouldn’t be. 0, men—
husbands, brothers, fathers, sons,lovers!
if you only know how sensoless a thing
this movement is 1 If you only for a
moment could see yourselves as we
women see you, you never again would
fall victims to it. If your moustache
annoys you. if it is in your way, if it
occupies all your thoughts, if it persists
in growing in one direction while your
manly will requires that it shall take
another—if, in short, you can't possi
bly let it alone, be warned before it is
to late. Shave it off! Though your
very soul sickens at the thought, off
with it 1 Though fair to see,
“It Is foolish thee;"
shave it off.
Frightful Encounter with a Map
Poo —A few days ago Mrs. Eckerson, of
Rockland county, N. J., while going to
the barnyard, was attacked by a large dog,
and u great portion of her clothing was
lorn from tier persou Her leas were several
tunes between the jaws of the brute, but
her clothing prevented theanimaPa teeth
penetrating her flesh. She ran into the
b.ru to her husband, the dog following,
and springing at Mr, Eckerson’a throat.
Mr E;kersou fended off, and the dog
caught his hand and tore it dreadfully.
Mr Eckerson, in his efforts to get one
hand out of the dog’s mouth, had his arm
torn in a shocking manner and an artery
broken. The dog then caught the other
hand, and literally chewed it up, and re
tained his hold uutil Mrs. Eckerson, with
presence of mind, thrust a broom handle
ilown the beast’s throat, when he let go
his hold of her husband’s hand, and was
killed with au axe. Physicians soon ar
rived, who cut off the lacerated flesh, and
are attending Mr. and Mrs. Eckerson.
Mr. E lias uiadetiis will, and is preparing
for death.

HOW OFFICES ARE FILLED IN VIRGINIA.
A Richmond correspondent of the New
York World tells of the latest invention
whereby “ loii” office holders are manu
factured in Virginia. It seems that there
are not enough scalawags or carpet bag
gers in the State who -re competent, and
the difficuby promised at one time to se
riously embarrass the faithful. Where
was there ever a hitch, however, that
could not be gotten over by these vermin,
if money was the reward thereof? They
have devised this plan :
‘‘A society has been organized in Wash
ington for the supply of ‘qualified’ persons
to fill the offices of Vitviuia with good
Republicans. Well, a man is needed for
an office, the Chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee writes to the
secretary of the Association iu Washing"
ton, and forthwith there is sentdown here
a carpet-bagger from Maine, New Hamp
shire, Vermont, Connecticut or Massa
chusetts, expenses paid.”
These are facts, for several offices have
already been filled in this way—among
others that of Commonwealth’s Attor
ney for Bedford county.
And yet certain men at the South put
en their lecturing caps, and gravely
tell honest folk t that such infamy is not
to beexposed and blistered in the homeli
est words that our English tongue offers
for such virtuous work! That to show
up the things that are mean, and false, and
vile, that outrage all right, and justice,
a>id propriety, and to ask the verdict of
public scorn and hate upon their authors
and finishers, is “unprogressive” and
“impracticable!” We will not imitate
either the ostrich stupidity, or the fish
like frigidity or flabbiness of heart, of
such Mentors. They are Acbans in the
camp, whose fate will be pitiable, indeed,
when the pendulum of public opinion,
released from present restraints, swings
back to its old position.
LUST IN A WESTERN WILDERNESS.
Six Day* Without Food—Remarkable Escape from
Starvation.
Mr. Charles Crapo, brother to the Gover
nor, and Mr. Alderman, a surveyor, when
returning through the woods from examin
ing lands on the Klieboygan river, and
when iu the town 33 4 cut his foot very
badly, disabling him from traveling any
further. His companion, supposing that
there were lumber camps 33 4, made the
wounded man as comfortable as he could
fixed his tent, built him a tire, and cut a
goodly supply of wood, aud, leaving trim
all the provisions, which were three days’
rations, took only two “bard tacks” and
started for help, expecting to get through
iu cue day. He a e all his provisions at
noon, hut at night, witeu tie reached his
destination, he found a dreary wilderness
where he expected to find a camp. He
immediately started for the main river,
hut soon became entangled iu a dense
swamp, and, through fatigue and want of
food, and having to sleep ou the ground
without blanket or tent, he was taken
sick and could make hut very slow pro
gress.
After three more days of intense suffer
ing, tie reached Erskiue’s farm, late at
night and utterly exhausted. Mr. Spralt,
happening to he there, took him next
morning to Comstock’s camp, which was
ttie nearest one to where he left the wouud
ed'man. Mr. William Comstock immedi
eteiy started, with eigiit men, to the relief
of Mr. Crapo. They found him without
wood, and suffering from his wound and
anxiety. He supposed that his friend had
either perished or was lost, and certainly
expected to he left to die. He calculated
Iris provisions to last him twelve days,
aud cut Iris name on his gunstock and the
bottom of iiis book, so that any one find
ing Iris remains might know who he was.
Having lain there six days all alone,
since his comrade left him, lie describes
the sensation of the arrival of help as the
happiest moment of iris life. His rescuers
brought trim to camp upon a litter, and
the next day brought him to town. Both
meu, after recruiting, started for Saginaw.

ARKANSAS.
The Militia Take a Cripple from His Sick Bed, and
Murder Him in the Woods—A Merchant Thrown
Lu Prison, and his Store Gutted.
Oue of the most heinous atrocities yet
committed by the Arkansas militia, oc
curred last Monday, in Mississippi county
It was nothing less than the colii-binoded
murder of Mr. Alexander Baugh, a respec
table citizen of Arkansas, a gentleman of
some means, and a cripple, physically in
capacitated to do aDy one auy harm.
The facts, as derived from unquestiona
ble sources, are briefly as follows: Mr.
Baugh lived on Carson’s Lake, ten miles
from Osceola. Last Monday some prowl
ing militia who had been robbing the
neighborhood, insulting ladies aud fright
ening children, got half drunk on whisky
or wine they had stolen, and made an at
tack on some citizens, who escaped from
them, going iu the direction of Mr.
Baugh’s iiouse.
Tne militia pursued them to the house,
where they stopped, aud the fugitives dis
appeared. Air. Baugh was in bed sick,
but was taken out and required to tell
where lie had concealed the men. He, of
course, knew nothing of them, and could
make no disclosures. This so enraged the
militia that they took him out a few hun
dred yards from the house and shot him
diad, aud left his bullet riddled bady by
the roadside. No arrests had been made
at last accounts.
Several prisoners are still held in jail at
Osceola, among them Capt. Win. Bennett,
a piominent but remarkably quiet citizen,
who lives on Frenchman s Bayou, about
fifteen miles from Osceola. The militia
went to tiis house a week or so ago and
completely cleaned out his store of a large
stock of goods. They also destroyed con
siderable property about his residence, and
then carried him off to prison.
REAL ESTATE SALES IN ATLANTA.
Cash sales of real estate in Atlanta dur
ing ttie past week have amounted to about
one hundred thousand dollars. One-half
the Bell Building was sold for $21,200.
Two stores in the Franklin Block were
sold to Mr. Wirt. W. Simpson, of Sparta,
Georgia, a wealthy planter, who is inter
ested largely in Atlauta property, for
$16,000. Two stores on the corner of the
same block were sold to Mr. George S.
Camp, of Greensboro, for $13,500. The
store occupied by Wm. B Lowe & Cos., on
Whitehall street, was sold for SIO,OOO. The
property sold to the Macon and Western
Railroad brought $13,000. The store in
the rear of the Kile BuildiDg was sold to
Thomas G- Huly for $3,265. The Jos. L.
King store house, on Peachtree, was sold
for SB,OOO. The residence of Mr. Mcßride
was sold for $2,250. Smaller sales were
made which raise the aggregate to over
oue hundred thousaud dollars within one
week, and all the sales were bona fide and
for cash.— Era, 3d.
The Commercial Marine of Savan
nah.— Iu passing along the bluff oue can
not but be forcibly struck with the large
amouut of shipping in port. Savannah
is fast approaching the position marked
out for her by nature, as the first port on
the Southern seaboard. There are at pres
ent 85 vessels iu port, 42 of which are
loading for foreign ports. This will show
a heavy over last year, when the
number loading for foreign ports was 30,
while the aggregate iu port was only 52.
At New Orleans on the 27th ult., there
were li9 vessels, of which number only 36
were bound to foreign ports; while Charles
ton only shows a list of 42 ves-els, 12 oi
which are loading for fortigu ports. This
is a favorable comparison of the facilities
offered by Savauuah', and shows conclu
sively that witli proper management on
the part of our merchants and all con
cerned, Georgia can still maintain her
proud title ot • Empire State,” and Savan
nah that of the “Q ueen City of the South.”
We notice among the vessels lying at
our wharves several regular New Orleans
line*, which, more than ail else, is suffi
cient evidence that Savannah presents
extra inducements for vessels seeking
freight. —Savannah Republican , 2d.
A Bohemian in Trouble. — St. Louis,
February I. A man named Brown, for
merly a St. Louis correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer and other papers, has
been threatened with a cowbidiug bv the
friends of Mrs. Bowen, widow of the Cou
fed -rate General Bowen, who was killed
during the war. His offense consisted in
writing scurrilous articles about that lady
for New York papers.

DISORDERS OF THE STOMACH, LITER, AND
BOWELS
rpHE STOMACH is the great centre which ln-
JL flnences the health or disease of ihe system;
abused, or debilitated by excess, indigestion, of
fensive breath, and physical prostration are the
na ural consequence-. Allied to the brain, it is
thesourceof headaches, mental depression, ner
vous complaints aud unrefre-hing sleep. The
Liver becomes affected, and venerates biiious dis
orders, pains in the side, etc. The Bowels sym
pathize by costiveuess, diarrhoea, and dysentery.
The principal action of these Fills is on the Htom
ach, aDd the Liver, Lungs, Bowels, and KWneys
participate In their recuperative aud regenera
tive operation.
ERYSIPELAS AND SALT RHEUM
Are two of the most common and virulent dis
orders prevalent on this continent. To these the
Ointment is especially anlagoiil.-t'c. Its modus
operandi Is first to eradicate tfifc venom, and then
complete the cure.
RAD LEGS, OLD SORES, AND ULCERS.
Cases of many years' standing, that have perti
naciously reins* and to yield to any ottter remedy or
treatment, have invariab y succumbed to a few
applications of this powerful unguent.
ERUPTIONS ON THE SKIN,
Arising from a bad state cf Ihe blood or chronic
diseases are eradiwted, and a clear and trans
parent surlace regained by the restorative action

metics and oilier toilet appliances in Its power to
dispel rashes and other disfigurements of the
face.
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.
Whether in the young or old. married or single,
at the dawn of womanhood or the turn of life,
these tonic medicines display sodeclded an Influ
ence that a marked improvement Is soon percep
tible in the health of the patient. Being a purely
vegetable preparation, they are a safe and reliable
remedy for all classesof iemaleslu every condi
tion of health and station of life.
PILES AND FISTULA.
Every form and feature of these prevalent and
stubborn disorders is eradicated locally and en
tirely by the use of this emollient. Warm fomen
tations should precede its application. Its heal
ing qualities will be found to be thorough and
Invariable.
Both tlie Oiuement and tliePills should be used
in the following cases: Bunions. Burns, Chapped
Hands, Chilblains, Fistula, Gout, Lumbago, Sore
Legs, sprains. Tetters Ulcets, Soie '1 hroats. Sores
