I Bather Think E Will.
Oh, I’ll tell you of a fellow,
Of a fellow I have seen,
Who Ls neither white or yellow.
But is aitogher green!
Then his name it isn't charming,
For it's only common “Bill, - '
And he wishes me to wed him,
But I hardly think I will,
He told me of a cottage.
Of a cottage ’mong the trees.
And don't you think the gawkey,
Tumbled on his knees!
While the tears the fellow wasted
Were enough to turn a mill;
And he begged of me to accept liim,
But I hardly think I will,
Oh, he whispered of devotion,
Of devotion pure and deep,
But it seemed so very silly.
That I nearly tell asleep,-
And he thinks it would be pleasant,
As we journey down the hill,
To go hand in hand together,
But I hardly think I will.
He was here last night to see me,
Aud he made so long a stay,
I began to think the blockhead
Ne’er meant to go away,
At first I learned to hate him,
And I know I hate him still,
Yet he urged me to have him,
But 1 hardly think I will.
I am sure I would’nt choose him,
But the very duci-is in it,
But he says if 1 refuse him,
That he could'nt live a minute,
And you know the blessed Bible
Plainly says we must not ‘-kill,”
So I’ve thought the matter over,
And 1 rather think I will.

end with one of the figures: 1,2, 3, 4,5, 6, 7,8, 9,0

It will be perceived, by this plan, that for $60
the purchaser has a Certificate often tickets, when,
if he buys tickets, he would only get for that sum
six wholes. Thus by buying Certificates he has
four more chances for larger prizes—Halves and

She sits beside the cradle,
And her tears are streaming fast,
For she sees the present only,
While siio thinks of all the past:
Of the days so full of gladness,
When her first-born s answering kiss
Filled her soul with such rapture
That it knows 110 other bliss.
Oh. those happy, happy moments!
They but deepen her despair;
For she bends upon the cradle,
And her baby is not there;
There are words of comfort spoken,
And the leaden clouds of greif
Wear the smiling bow of promise,
And she feels a sad relief;
But her wavering thoughts will wander
Till they settle 011 the scene
Of the dark and silent chamber,
Aud of all that might have been;
Fora little vacant garment, -
Ora shining tress of hair.
Tells her heart in tones of anguish,
That her baby is not there!
She sits beside the cradle,
But her tears no longer flow;
For she sees a blessed vision,
And forgets all earthly woe;
Saintly eyes look down upon her,
Aud the voice that hushed theses,
Stills her spirit with a whisper,
“Suffer them to come to me!”
Ar.d while her soul is lifted
On the soaring wings of prayer,
Heaven’s crystal gates swing inward,
And she se> s hei babv there!

Slirk (o Your Business.
There is nothing which should be more
frequently impressed upon the minds of
young man than the importance of steadily
pursuing one business. The frequent
changing from one imployment to another
is one of the most common errors commit
ted, and to it may he traced more than half
the failure of men in business, and mttcli
of the discontent and disappointment that
render life uncomfortable. It is a very
common thing for a man to be dissatisfied
j with bis business, and to desire to change
I it for some other, and which seems to him
will prove a more lucrative employment;
but iu nine cases out of ten it is a mis
take. Look around you and you will
find among your acquaintances abundant
verification of our assertion. Here is a
young matt who commenced life as a me
chanic, but from some cause imagined he
ought to have been a docter; and, after a
hasty and shallow preparations, has taken
up the saddle-bags only to find that
work is still work, and that his patients
are no more profitable than his work
bench, and the occupation not a whit more
agreeable.
Here are two young men, clerks: one
of them is content, when his first term of
service is over, to continue a clerk until he
shall have saved enough to commence bus
iness on his own account; the other cannot
wait, but starts without capital, and with a
limited experience, and brings up, after a
few years, in a court of insolvency, while
his former comrade, by patient pieserver-
ance, comes out at last with a fortune.—
The young lawyer who became disheart
ened because briefs and cases did not
crowd upon him while he was yet redolent
ot calf-bound volumes, and had small use
for red tape, who conclnded he had mista
ken his calling, and so plunged into poli
tics, finally settled down into the character
of a meddling pettifogger, scrambling for
daily bread.
There is an honest farmer who has toil
ed a few years, got his farm paid for, but
does not grow rich very rapidly, as much
for lack of contentment mingled with his
industry as anything, though he is not
aware of it—he hears the wonderful stories
of California, and how fortunes may be had
for the trouble of picking them up, mort
gages his farm to raise money, goes away
to the land of gold, and after many
months of hard toil comes home to com
mence again at the bottom of the hill for
a more weary and less successful climbing
up again.
Mark the men in every community who
are notorious for ability, and equally noto
rious for never getting ahead, and you will
usually find them to he those who never
stick to any one business long, but are al
ways forsaking their occupation just when
it begins to he profitable.
Young man, stick to your business. It
may be you have mistaken your calling.—
If so, find it out as quick as possible and
change it; but don’t let any ur.ca.->y desire
to get along fast or a dislike of your
honest calling lead you to abandon it.—
Have some honest calling, and then stick
to it; if you are sticking type, stick away
at them; if you are selling oysters, keep
on selling them; if you are at law, hold
fast to that professsion; pursue the business
you have chosen presisteutly, industrious
ly and hopefully, and if there is anything
cf you, it will appear and turn to account
in that as well or better than in any other
calling; only if you are a loafer, forsake
that line of life as quickly as possible, for
the longer you stick to it the worse it will
“stick” to you.—Hunt’s Merchants' Mag
azine.
To Cure Hams.—To twelve hams take
eight pounds of brown sugar, five pounds
of fine salt, and one-quarter of a pound of
saltpeter. After the ingredient are well
mixed together, rub your hams with it,
and let them remain thus for ten days
Then make a pickle strong enough to bear
an egg; pour it on your hams, and let them
stand for three weeks, after which they
will be ready to smoke.
Uiitrimonial Misery.
We commend the following communica
tion of a fair correspondent to the atten
tion of the old and young, of both sexes
—to some for edification to others re
proof :
A correspondent of one of yonr cotem
poraries having treated this subject in a
powerful, but, as 1 deem, one-sided matter,
I propose to offer my views in relation to
the matter.
Admitting the general fact that very
many, if not the majority of marriages are
unhappy, we dispute the proposition that
this unhappiness is usually the cause of
the husband ; and most women are, when
first married, soft, pliable creatures to be
moulded to good or ill by the master hand
of the husband, and that most men, by
their bad treatment, pervert the nature of
their wives, and thus introduce domestic
discord. The fact is, that both are partly
to blame, and society more than either.—
Marriages are unhappy because neither
men or women are so educated as to make
it otherwise Among the causes of this
unhappiness may be reckoned the haste
with which matrimony is sometimes en
tered upon; the man led blindly on by
feelings, and the woman snatching at tlie
ofier lest she may never get another, with
out the least regard to fitness, affection, or
any other worthy motive. In such mar
riages, the love which is all on one side—
that of the husband—soon dies away
and when the ardor of the honey-moon is
over, the wife must be content with civil
ity in public and indifference in private,
for the rest of her life. Verily, she gets
her reward and has no right to complain.
Another source of matrimonial unhap
piness is the fact that people generally do
not marry young enough. Men are deter
red by an exaggerated idea of the expen
ses of maintaining a family, and women
postpone it until they can “better them
selves” pecuniarily. The former waste
their youth and means in drinking and dis
sipation, and the latter fritter away their
affections in idle ilirtations. How can we
expect a man who has forgotten, if he ever
felt it, the respect inspired by a gentle
mother, or a sister; who has carefully
avoided the refining influences of virtuous
female society, and lost by unworthy as
sociation the power of appreciating it ;
and who is incapable of enjoying any
pleasures but those of the grossest sort,
to resign bis precious liberty, forego liis
cherished amusements, and in short, to
sacrifice liis selfishness on the altar of do
mestic happiness ? Aud how can we ex
pect a young lady fed on flattery, accom
plished in ignorance, doating on jewelry,
despising work as degrading, unable to
comb her own hair, and regarding man as
a gold producing-machine, to give up her
accustomed gratifications, and occupy her
self with the petty' details of housekeep
ing ? No “we cannot gather grapes of
thorns nor figs of thistles.”
The notion that it is imprudent for very
young persons to marry, is totally falla
cious. Experience has proved this in in
numerable cases. As soon as a young
man is able to support himself, he is able
to support a wife, and the sooner he takes
one the better. Let him select a sensible
young woman, suited to himself in age,
disposition and circumstances, win her
and marry her ; and if they are not happy
nothing on earth could make them so. One
instance : Edward married at twenty-one
the girl of his choice, Maria. He was a
poor clerk; she had no dowry but good
sense and a loving heart. They commen
ced housekeeping on the humblest scale ;
but love and the sunuy cheerfulness of
youth enriched poverty itself, while the
grace and neatness of the wife threw a
halo of refinement around their humble
home. Industry aud frugality which nev
er descended to meanness, increased their
worldly goods, until by degrees they rose
to affluence. After fifteen years of wed
lock, their affection is as warm as it was
in the Hush of youth; and the husband
prizes the kiss which sweetens his depar
ture, and the smile which welcomes his re
turn, as highly as when they were bestow
ed by the blushing bride.
Such might have been the history of
hundreds of surly, selfish old bachelors,
and sour, snappish old maids, if they had
only been more wise and less prudent.—
Such might have been the history of hun
dreds of jarring couples, if instead of
waiting for a noontide sky and freight,
they had, with suitable partners; lauched
their bark on the unknown sea of Matrimo
ny, in the morning of life, with love for a
cargo and hope for a helm.
Another cause of matrimonial unhappi
ness among people who are moderately
attached, and might have been moderately
happy if they did not expect too much of
each other, is the fact that wives are too
exacting. They don’t know what is best
for them when they insist upon hearing
exactly what detained the husband bej'ond
his usual time. It is perhaps much more
conducive to their happiness uot to know.
When a husband returns in the evening or
at night, fatigued with business or pleas
ure, he does not feel disposed to entertain
himself by “confiding” to his wife. If it
were necessary to enlighten her, no doubt
he would do so; and when he volunteers
no information about his business, her
wisest course is not to task his invention
by asking him questions. In order that
the matrimonial machine should work
well, it is necessary that the wife should
entertain the most unwavering confidence
in the moral rectitude of her husband.
Anything calculated to shake this confi
dence must tend to diminish the happi
ness of both ; wherefore it has been said
“A woman’s greatest happiness is to be
most carefully deceived.”
Many other cases of matrimonial misery
might he cited, all tending to show that
the blame does not rest entirely on the
lords of creation; but enough has been
said, and these remarks are too far extend
ed already. Stella.
Chinese Armor.—The San Joaquin
Republican gives a Description of the Chi
nese armor worn by one of the Chinese
killed during the late battle at Chinese
Camp:
“It is very rudely constructed, and com
posed of pieces of old sardine boxes, sewed
on pieces of canvas. The pieces interlay
each other, so that no portion of the
person it is intended to cover is exposed.
It fits on the person by means of two arm
holes, aranged by cords, and fastened into
the plate near tho top, and covers all the
breast and upper part of the abdomen.
But it shows the certain evidence of its
inefficiency, as the bullet hole is through it
of tho ball which terminated ‘John’s
earthly career. The flimsy structure
might serve to shield the wearer against
John.s favorite pike poles, but it is totally
useless against musket balls.”
Music “upon the waters” is quite com
mon, but the Bostonians have music on
the ice, to which both ladies and gentlemen
skate by moonlight.

The Wonderful Egf.
Abijah Smithers was as honest an old
soul as ever broke the world’s bread, as
the saying is, but he was a little given to
cracking a joke, when opportunity offered.
He lived, and if his breath has not failed
him, still live in the town ofB , in
the State of Massachusetts. He once
boarded in the family of a good, pious old
lady, a little superstitions withal, who saw
and interpereted every extraordinary ap
pearance and occurrence, a some phen
omena, given as an omnious warning from
Heaven, to betoken a coining judgement
upon the children of men for their iniquities.
One norning, early, as Abijah was repair
ing to bis place of business, he accidental
ly discovered a hen’s nest, containing a
goodly number of eggs. Immediately the
thought struck him, that he would make
food of one of them, to feast the supersti
tion of Aunt Charity. Accordingly he
took some liquid, and wrote on tlie egg
shell, “ Woe, icoe to the inhabitants of
B 1” By exposure to the action of
a gentle heat, the letters asumed the ap
pearance of having been written with
blood. The egg was then again deposited
where it was found. In tlie course of the
day. Aunt Charity also discovered the
nest—but judge her astonishment and con
sternation, on beholding the awful, the fatal
sentence ! Her pious soul appealed to
Heaven, and offered a hasty though fervent
petition, that she might uot be involved in
the general calamity. Again, and again,
she perused with horror-stricken feelings,
the portentous sentence, till, at length, she
mustered courage to remove the sacred
deposit from its resting-place, and bear it
to the house for safe keeping. But its
import was of too much consequence to be
long concealed.—Not doubting that the
Lord had adopted this method to communi
cate the tidings of His displeasure to the
inhabitants of the town, the old lady con
sidered herself as being appointed his
herald : and remembering the fate of poor
Jonah, she mounted hood and bonnet, and,
with the egg in her hand; as her indubita
ble authority, away she trudged on her
important mission. By the time of her re
turn home the whole town was in a state of
itation and alarm. Terror and consterna
tion were visible on every countenance; and
the parson was requested to visit the house
of Aunt Charity, to examine the fatal egg,
to explain its import, and give his advice
on the momentious occasion. Accordingly,
the next morning, the parson, the deacon,
the squire, and a hundred other char
acters, great aud small, were on the spot,
and, with all due solemnity, the fatal relic
was produced, and underwent a formal ex
amination; while the whole congregation
awaited the issue in breathless and pain
ful anxiety. At length the writing was
pronounce the work of the Lord, aud the
only thing now necessary, was to devise
means to divert the awful judgement thre
atened.
At this solemn juncture, Abijh stepped
up and requested to see the egg. It was
handed him.. The next question was,
whether the Lord would not be able to spell
His word srightly. Granted, was the unani
mous response. “Well,” says Abijah, “this
may be the Lord’s hand writing, but He
has not spelled the name of our town
lit.” This put a new face on the affair.
The fears of the people were relived.
The knowing ones hung their heads.
Abijah Smithers laughed in his sleeve—
and Aunt Charity found that her wonderful
egg was as good for “nut cake,” as any
other one in the nest.
Lucy Stone delivered one of her gabble-
ment in Philadelphia, one evening lass
week, in which she came down upon the
men for not allowing her sex to vote and
take part in the politics of the country,
She compared the horrible men who kept
tlie women away from the ballot box to
tlie Border Ruffians of Kansas. The
Bulletin says Miss. Lucy spoke of the out
rages committed upon the Free State men
in Kansas, of the wrong done there by the
Border Ruffians from Missouri, and of the
atteiTtiou and indignation these outrages
had excited throughout the Union. This
reminded her of the time of Greek war,
when Greece lay bleading at the feet ,of
Turkey. The ladies of Yirgina went about
at that time time collecting means to pro
cure clothing for the poor Greeks, and they
never thought, until John Randolph told
them of it, that they had little black
Greeks at their own doors. It was so in
regard to this Border Ruffianism in Kansas.
People were aroused and indignant at the
wrongs perpetrated there, but were oblivi
ous to the Border Ruffianism at their own
doors.
While she is pitching into the Uriahs
and Auienedabs of her own Kith and Kin,
she should not violate history and misstate
facts. They have no black Greeks in Vir
ginia, and Mr Randolph never made any
such remaks to the ladies of Virginia.
When he was in England, it is‘stated that
he dined on one occassion with an aris
tocratic lady—an Irish lady we believe—
where her sympathies were very much
moved in behalf of the suffering Greeks,
(that was before the days of Tom and Aunt
Harriet Beecher Stowe, the lady represen
ted the poor oppressed Greeks—men,
women and children—as being in a most
pitiable condition—starving and in rags.
When Mr. Randolph left the mansion he
encountered a host of miserable ragged
starvlings, who beset him for alms, and
turning back lie said to the lady—“Madame,
the Greeks are at your door.” Randolph
knew niggers trom Greeks.
Minded.—The Bos-
One of the Strong
ton Courier says:
We are deeply impresssed with the belief
that we saw a strong minded woman in
the streets yesterday. She had no inver
ted balloons resting upon her hips and cool
ing limbs. These latter were encased in
substantial broadcloth unmentionables, a
bodice of the same material was lengthened
into skirts falling just below the knees.—
A cape of tlie same, and a bonnet protected,
not rested upon her head. She walked
easily through, the mud and crowd upon
Washington street, and was the observed
of all observers, who hesitated between
laughter and admiration.
“ Old Ironsides.”—Commodore Stewart
who has been in command of the navy
yard at Philadelphia, finding that his time
was about to expire, lately notified the Se
cretary of the Navy that in occoidance with
usage he asked the appointment of his suc
cessor. Mr. Dobbin at once replied, with j
geuerous acknowledgment of the great ser
vices of the gallant veteran, that no ordi
nary rule should be applied to him, and it
was not only the pleasure but the wish of master, and the distance he must have
the department that he should retain the swam in a rough sea, it is not now known.

The Bot. tm. Anderwn.-
The above is the title of a freer negro
who has succeeded in making himself a
conspicuous character. He has been fol-
lowing the joint puisuits of preaching, po
litical speaking and negro stealing. Since
the labors of the recent canvass he has
been apprehended in Kentucky, for ab
ducting negroes and running them off to
Canada. He is now securely lodged in
jail. From the following extract taken
from the New Albany (Ind.,) Ledger, it
will be seen, says the Louisville Courier,
that like Prentice of the Louisville Journ
al, he did all in his power to elect Morton,
the black republican-nigger-stealing can
didate for Governor of Indiana, over Wil
lard, the national democratic candidate;
and as it is said, “a fellow-feeling makes
us wondrous kind,” to this, we presume,
may be attributed the tender manner in
which the Journal has alluded to the re •
cent short comings of the Reverend ras
cal:
“This ‘Rev. Wm. Anderson’ is the
identical negro whom the friends of Judge
Morton in this State set up to make speech
es in reply io Gov. Willard at Winchester,
Randolph county, and Muncie, Delaware
county. At these and numerous other
places in the northern part of the State,
his speeches were received with rapturous
applause by the black republicans, and as
lie poured forth bis filthy abuse of Gov.
Yi illard and the Democratic party, the
Mortonites went wild with delight aud
shouted till their throats were ready to
split. The Rev. Mr. Anderson’s occupa
tion as a black republican stump orator
being at and end, he has betaken himself
of the kindred and equally congenial one
of stealing slaves and running them off to
Canada. In this business lie is doubtless
perfectly at home, as be seemed to be irt
making Morton speeches last summer aud
fall. It would seem that “Mr. Anderson”
has accomplices in “distinguished persons
in the north.” We think it altogether
probable they may be found in the counties
of Wayne, Randolph, and Delaware.—
Fellows who would set up a nigger to make
speeches agaiust a white man, a condidato
for Chief Magistrate of the State, are not
a whit too good to become agents for the
Underground Railroad, and enter into par
tnership with the nigger in running off’
slaves. We hope our Louisville contempor
ary will give the public the names of the
“distinguished’ northern gentlemen who
are Mr. Anderson’s accomplices.”

USEFUL KECIPKS.
To Preserve Butter for Winter Use.—
Mix together the following ingredients:—
One aud a half lbs. of fine salt.
One-quarter lb. of salpeter.
One-quarter lb. of finely pulverised white
sugar.
To each pound of butter use one ounce
of mixture; work it well with the butter;
and thou pack it close in stone jars, cover
ing it closely, in order to exclude the air.
Butter preserved in this way remains
sweet and good until late in the spring,
October is the best time to put it up, but
presume it will answer quite well tho
present month.
To Cure Beef.—Dissolve six pounds of
salt, two pounds of brown sugar, and two
ounces of salpeter, in four gqllons of water.
This is sufficient to cure one barrel of beef.
After allowing the beef to remain in this
mixture three w’eeks, pour off the pickle,
boil it, skim it, and when cold pour it on
the beef again. You may keep beef in
this sort of pickle for twelve mouths, with
out it becoming too salt.
Spider and snake bites.—A physician
writing under the signature of “W.” in a
late number of the Mobile News, details
his treatment of persons suffering from the
bites of snakes on spiders, which he says
he has pursued with success during a
practice of thirty-eight years. The treat
ment is as follows One grain dose of
morphine given at intervals of thirty to
forty minutes; a free use of sinapisms—that
is, poultices in which mustard is a prin
cipal ingredient—over the parts where the
pain is intense, and as much brandy, or
whiskey, as the patient can be made to
drink, together with its constant applica
tion to the wound and the pained parts.
In one case he mentions—that of a gentle
man bitten very badly by a spider—this
course was continued for eight hours, with
a decided amelioration of the symptoms;
but strong spasmodic pains still returning
at intervals, chloroform was used, which
put the patient into a profound sleep, and
completed the cure. The patient, having
a large head and stont neck, it was thought
proper to have him afterward purged freely
wdth jalap.
The writer states that the above treat
ment must, of course, be modified by
consideration of age, sex, habits and
idiosyncracies. “In all cases, however,”
he concludes, “the brandy or whiskey must
be pushed without limit until pain and
spasms cease; intoxication in these cases
cannot be produced.”

Funny CaSF.—More School Girls Kiss
ing.—The principal of one of onr free
schools, who has long enjoyed a reputation
for harshness towards the hoys and “soft
ness” towards the girls—of “larger
growth,” at least—has lately been under
going examination, on some grave charges,
before the dignified School Commissioners,
It was charged that he had taken a dislike
to one of the boys, and had dismissed him
from school for an undue cause—for “kiss
ing the girls.” The rejoinder is, that tho
act was done after school hours, in the hall,
and that the master “needn’t have made
so much fuss about it, cause he set the ex
ample, and tried to do just the same thing
hisself!” This completely turned the
tables. The stern commissioners consid
ered that if it was right to dimiss the boy
for kissing the girls in the hall, it was
equally proper to dismisst>the master for
“trying” to kiss the girls on the stairs, the
assertion that be did so “try” being sus
tained by competent testimony.—Albany
Argus.
The Dog that wouldn’t Emigrate.—A
short time since several families left
Proviucetown to locate in Eastern Virginia.
They took with them a large and noble
dog, of the Newfoundland species. While
on their passage to Boston in a small
schooner, the dog broke loose, leaped into
the sea, and started on his long and weary
passage home. He was seen and passed
by one of our packets, near night, about
five miles off Race Point and nine from
this town, heading for the Race Light,
nobly breasting the rolling waves, often
covered by the spray.
The next morning, at an early hour,
and before the family had arisen, Mr.
James Doyle, to whom the dog was much
attached, hearing an unusual noise at his
door, arose, opened it, and was astonished
to behold the noble fugitive. Mr. D. says
when he opened the door, the dog arose,
pluced his great paws upon his shoulders,
and fairly embraced him, giving such
demonstrations of joy as he never believed
any animal could exhibit.
In what part of the bay he left his
position so long as it was acceptable, and
that he would not be disturbed until its
duty became an encumbrance. He now
retains his place as senior captain in the
navy on duty, and with the highest pay al
lowable by law—$4,500 a year.
The amount of gold brought by the U-
linowil $2,671,570.
This is the fourth time an attempt has
been made to carry off this dog, and in
every instance he has managed io leave in
his passage to Boston and returned by
swimming home. The noble animal should
now be adopted by the town, have the
“freedom of the city," and a pension for
life.—Provincetoum Banner,
