ONE HU HI) RED TEARS TO COME.
Who’ll presa for gold this crowded street
A hundred years to come?
Who’ll tread yon church with willing feet
A hundred years to come ?
Pale, tremhlin* age and fiery youth,
And childhood with his brow of truth,
The rich and poor, on land and sea—
Where will the mighty milions be
A hundred years to come?
We ail within ear graves shall sleep
A hundred years to come ;
No Using soul for us will weep
A hundred years to con>e ;
But other men our land will till,
And others then our streets will fill,
And other words will sing as gay,
And bright the sunshine as to-day,
A hundred years to come.
YOU BET.
When you hear loud voices cryiDg
As of a woman iu a pet,
And see furniture a flying,
There is something wrong—you bet.
Should a youth and maiden squabble,
If be gets into a pet.
Tou may leave them in their hobble,
For it won’t last long—you bet.
And when Romeo’s chanting
His song to Juliet.
If anything is wanting,
It isn’t you—you bet.
MISCELLANEOUS.
COURTI3tt UNDER DIFFI
CULTIES.
Kate Blake was the only daughter
of Jacob Blakr, the old miser ol West
Brook.
Bhe was more than commonly pret
ty, and her frank, engaging manners
enhanced the charms of gulden hair,
pearly skin, and eye alike the blue
ekies of summer.
At her father’s death she would be
heiress of the nice little sum of seventy
thousand dollars, and though men
generally profess not to be influenced
by pecuniary matters in affairs of
love, it is to be reasonably supposed
that this prospective wealth by no
means lessened the number of her
adorers. Among those most ardent, and
perhaps sincere, was Will Dartmouth,
with a heart large* then his purse, and
very little thought or care tor conse
quences.
Fortunately, old Jacob never sus
pected the partiality of his daughter
for Will; be would have put her on
bread and water belore he would have
consented to tho slightest intimacy
with Will Dartmouth.
Jacob Blake was not in favor of mar
riage. Those who knew his circum
stances were not surprised at this, for,
to use a phrase more expressive than
■ elegant, Airs. Blake was a Tartar,
; with temper enough for two Tartars
Old Jacob had to ‘‘walk Spanish”
’ for the most part, or sutler the conse-
I quencee, which usually descended on
his head in the shape of any domestic
utensil which happened to be lyieg
around handy.
A maiden sister of Mr. Blake resid
ed in tbe family, whose principal busi
ness seemed to be to act as a s -rt of
echo to her brother and his wife. —
Whatever they thought she thought
too.
She regarded it as a primary sin for
Kate to associate with the young men,
and th : s doctrine was perseveiingly
drilled into her niece, who though she
never dissented, had her own idea on
the subject.
One day Mr. Blake and his wife
went to Dedham to a'tend a fair, and
Miss Peggy being absent at a friend’s
Katie was lelt alone W ill Dartmouth
iu some way, learned the couditi nos
affairs, and early in the afternoon be
came over to keep Kate company.
As her parents were not expected
home until tbe ev'ning, Will felt per
fectly eecure in stopping awhile after
tea; and he and Kate were havitjg a
jolly time popping corn in the oldfash
ioned frying pan, over the huge wood
fire, when there was the sound of voi
ces at the door.
‘ Good gracious l’* cried Kate, turn
ing white with alarm. ‘‘There is
Aunt Peggy. Oh, Will, what shall wp
do? sbi will scold me to death ; and
fattier will be furious. Get under the
lounge quick ! Oh, Will, do, lor my
sake 1”
Will could not withstand the plead
in rin Kate’s eyes, and he deposited
hiuiself in the designated place.
Kate put out the light, and darting
into nn adjoining room, iu a moment
was apparently asleep.
Peggy’s voice was heard in the
hall.
“Be careful Mr. Pike. There is a
loose board there; I don’t want to dis
tutb my niece. Softly it may creak.”
"Peggy, detr, where are vou ?” re
sponded the squeaking voice of Squire
Pike, widower of a year. “I can’t tell
which way you’ve gone.’*
“There, Daniel! be easy. Good
Heavens! Daniel Pike. Well, I nev
er I" and a report buret upon the air
like the uncorking of a champaign bot
tie
“Oh my 1” cried aunt Peggy “what
would my brother Jacob say ? I de
clare, I haven’t been kissed by a naan
sinoe ”
“Let Jake mind his own btisines !’’
retorted the Squire. “You and I can
take care of ours without his help;”
and there followed a report similar to
the ti st, only a little louder.
“Do be quiet, Daniel, and let me
get a light. Set right down there
before the tire, anfl make yourself at
homo Daniel.
A light was soon procured. Beg- I
gy divested herself of her wrapping*
itnd blushing like a young girl in her
teens, sat down opposite the squire.
“It’s a pleasant evening,’’ said Peg
gy, by the way of opening the conver
sation.
“Very,” replied the Squire, drawing
bis arm over her back.
“Oh, good gracious, Dani«l! don’t
sot quite so nigh me. I—that is I don’t
consider it strictly proper. Mercy !
what’s that?”
Both listened attentively.
“It was the wind rattling against the
window, I guess,” said the Squire
“Don’t you go to getting so nervous,
Peggy.”
“I thought it was Ka*e waking up
and if she (hould, I should never hear
the lust of it.”
“Hark ! ttiore is a noise—l—”
“Gracious airth ! it’s beIR It’s
Jake and his wife coming back 1 —
What shall l do? We’re done! Oh
Wquire, ’taint right for us to be noth
ing one to ’to ther ! Do help me 1 What
shall I do ?”
‘ Tell me where to go, Peggy ?
Say tho word, I’ll go anvwhete for
your sake, if it is up the chimney ”
“Under the louugc, quick ! it s wide
and wi.l hold well. Quick ! don’t de
lay a minute.”
The Squire olreved, but the space
was so well tilled that it was with dif
ficulty he could squeeze himself into
so small a compass. And just as he
succeeded, Mr. Blake and his wife en
tered the room, floundering a’ong in
the dark for Peggy had deemed it best
to extinguish the light.
Jake made f*r the fire which still
glowed with red coals, stumbled over
the cricket, and fell tendlong against
Peggy, who was standing bolt up
right, trying to collect her scattered
senses.
“The deuce !” cried Jake, “look
out there old wornao, or you’ll be
down o»cr me. It’s dark as the dick
ens here, and I’ve fell over the rocking
chair or the churn, I can’t tell which.
Hullo! what’s that?” reaching out
his hand to feel his situation, and com
ing in contact with the bearded face
ol the Squire. “By golly! it’s got
(thinkers; Peg! Peggy; where are
you ? and where is Kate ? and what’s
this ?”
The squire did not relish this assault
on his hirsute appendages, and by way
of retaliation he gave a series of vigor
ous kicks which bit Will Dartmou-h hi
the region of the stomach and stirred
his bile.
“Look here, old chap!’’ exclaimed
Will, “I’m perfectly willing to share
my quarters with you seem’ as we’re
both in for it; but you’d hedernot un
dertake to do that again ”
“Heaving !’ ejaculated Peggy,‘whose
voice is that ?’
“That’s what I want to know !”said
Jake, STiiggling for an upright posi
tion. “llui'o! who’s fell down over
my leg- ?”
“I'll let you Know who's down and
who's up !” said the voice of Mrs
Blake —and the old lady scrambled
up, on'y to go instant’y down again
over a chair. “Jake where are you t
Get up this instant, or I'll shake
your breath out when I get to my feet
aga : n.”
Jake started to obey, and just then
Tige, tbe watch clog, who, heal ing the
fuss, tnnuaged to break loose from bis
lair, rushed upon tbe scone, and set up
his best bow-wow.
The Squire had a mortal horror of
dogs ana neither fear nor love was
strong enough to keep him quiescent
now. lie “prung to his feet with a
yell; Will followed.
Katie, full of alarm for her lover,
hopped out of bed and appeared with
a flaming tallow dip—Peggy flung
her arms around the Squire with a cry
es terror, and Jake was silent wilh
amazement. Mrs. Blake was the only
one who possessed her wits. She
seized the corn popper, and laid it
about her with vigor.
Her aim was not always- correct,
an! in consequence, she smashed the
looking glass into a thousand pieces
and knocked down the clock from its
shelf, and demolished two bowls and
a pitcher that were quietly reposing on
tbe mental.
The squire broke from Peggy’s em
brace and dashed out of the window.
Will following him and Mts. Blake
wou’d have pursued by thb same out
let but she was a little too large to get
through with oa s e.
A dreaded council was held ; Jake
stormed; Mrs. Blake threatened, and
at last Katie and Peggy confessed; and
Juke and his wife were 6o rejoiced at
the prospect of get’ing rid of Peggy
that they forgave their daughter uud
took Will Dartmouth home at the ena
of the year.
And in due time Peggy and the
Squire were made one flesh.

“Bread and Better” are the only ar- j
tides of fo«»Aoi which we never tiro

coarsest part, is thrown away ; the
very part which gives soundness to .
tho teeth, and strength to the bones, j
and vigor to the brain. Fivo hundred '
pounds of tine flour give to tho body
thirty pounds of the bony eloment, !
while the same quantity of bran gives

This bone is “.irae,” tbo phosphate ;

health to the whole human body, from
the want of the natural supply of j
which multitudes of persons go into a
general “decline.” But swallowing 1
phosphates in the shape of powders, or
in syrups, to cure these declines, lias
little or no virtue. The articles con

est, safest and most infallibly method
of giving strength to the body, boue

and building up the constitution, is to
eat and digest more bread made out
of the whole grain, whether of wheat,
corn, rye or oats. But we must get
an appetite for eating more, and a pow

and lazy method of drinking bitters

Throe or four daya have clapsod since
the dark and horrid transaction narrated
below transpired, at or near Flewdliug’s
X Roads, Miss. A young lady of the
highest rcspcotability and most amiable
character, was proceeding to a neigh
bor’s house, where a party, to which she
had been invited, was given, when she
was overtaken by a negro, and foieffily
drawn from the high road into tho woods,
her cries stifled by a cloth of some sort
pressed over her month. Taken to a se
cluded spot, she was tied by the negro,
and there detained for a week, while the
scoundrel effected his purpose, without
the miserable victim being able to offer
tho slightest resistance.
Two men, who were out hunting, un
expectedly came upon her, still tightly
bound, aDd alone. Her captor had loft
her at the moment, either to
food or pursue somo other purpose.— ;
Learning from the wretched girl the cir
cumstanocs of the atrocity practiced up- ,
on her, they concealed themselves uaijl
he should return. Nor had they Jong j
to w it; and, npon his coming, they. at,
onae seized and secured him. Believing I
that tho victim should propoune'e sen
t r noe upoD him, they awaited herdeorte.
It was to flay him alive. They at ouqe 1
proceeded with their hunting knives to
relieve him of bis epidermis. The for i
est resounded with his cries and Impre
cations, as they stripped tho skin from i
the sole* of his feet to his body. By
the tirao they had progressed to hie mid
dle, nature could stand no more, but he
completely exhausted, yielded up the
ghost—the monster dying a mo3t horri- 1
ble death. The girl was conveyed to ,
her home, where everything was do*« to ,
relieve her suffering, but sho died the
next day id gteat anguish'. —Memphis

Daniel Webster had an anecdote of I
old Father Searl, the minister of his j
boyhood, which is too good to be lost.— j
It was customary then to wear buck-skin .
breeches in cool weather. One Sunday 1
merning in the autumn, Father,Searl ’
brought his breeches down from
ret, but the wasps had Lken possession ,
during the summer, and were having a
nice time of it iu them. By dint of of-1
fort he got out the intruders aud dressed 1
for meeting. But while reading the I
scriptures to the congregation he felt a !
dagger from one of the enraged smail i
waisted f Hows, and jumped around tie
puljrct slapping Lis thighs. But the
more he slapped and danced the more ,
they stung. The people thought him
crazy, but he rxpla ; ned the matter by i
sayiag : “Brethren, don’t be alarmed ;

but the devil is in my breeches 1” Wtb-1

An fiicidciit of ifu> Fever.
A policeman, recently married, took
the fever. His wife showed a praise
worthy internetnnd obtained a physician
and negro nurse. Tho second duy her
iutertjst cooled, sho got drunk, threw a
bucket of wa*er on her sick lord, and at
tempted In kill Eitu with an iron poker,
but miised her mark. The sick police
man had sufficient s rongtb left to stag
ger out, blow Lis whistle, have bis uiild
companion ard helpmate arrested and
locked up. Tho physician also wearied
off well doing and deserted his patient.
The nurse did likewise, leaving the poor
fellow alone with bare wall for hi* food,
medicine and attention. One cognizant
of tho facts stated the ease to the may
or, who gave necessary ordtrs to tho po
lice. Unfortunately that arm of the
goveruuient did not do its whole duty->-
only informing the city physician of the
policomau’s sickness, and tho poor fol
low was left lingering alone, destitute,
for a period which to him was a lifetime,
whon a further tpplkatlou to the chief
of police brought the proper assistance

A California stitry.
A miner, who had been much respec
ted, died some tithe tide.', at the Califor
nia diggings, and it was determined to
give hima regular funeral. A digger
in that vicinity, who, rof'ort says, had
once been a powerful preacher in tho
United States, was called upon to offi
ciate; and after “drinks a'l around,”
the party proot eded with becoming grav
ity to the grave which hjd been dug at
a distance of a LundroJ yards from the
camp. When the spot was reached, the
officiating minister commenced with an
extempore prayer, during which all
knelt round tho grave. So far, so well;
but tho prayer was unnecessarily long,
and at last some of those who kutlt be
gan in an abstracted way to finger the
loose earth that had been thrown up from
the grave, it was thick with gold, and
an excitement was immediately appa
rent in tbe kneeling crowd. Upon this
the preacher slopped, and enquiringly
said, ‘/Boys, what’s that ?” “Gold 1” he
continued, “and the richest kind of dig
gins—the congregation is dismissed ?”
The poor miner was taken from the au
riferous grave, and was buried elsewhere,
while the funeral party with tho parson
at their head lost no time in prospecting
the new diggings.
