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!

Pkokam’s Battalion Amtilleky, A. N V., De cember, 1364. 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.

Passenger Tariff in Illinois. — Chi ciyo, February I.— Governor Palmer has not ye' signed the bill parsed by the Leg islature, restricting the railroads of the Stale to 'hree cents per mile for passenger fare; and it is rumored that he will not do so.

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. [Alpena ( Michigan) Pioneer, Jan. 20. [From the Memphis Avalanche, 30th ult.J 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. —Negro suffrage so far as the House, at Washington, could fix it, was made the law of the land last Saturday.
