1 have been induced to make the above liber
al offers in order to remove a settled objection
in the ruinds of your committee, to having the
distribution take place while there remain in
my hands tickets unsold, and for which cause
they have seen fit to defer the partition of the
gifts, which was fixed for the 27th inst., to thf
sth of July, as will be seen by reference to
their proceedings, published below. I assure
you that the postponement is as vexatious to
me as it is to those who have purchased tickets.
I therefore hope that each and every one now
interested, will c'o-opcrate wtih me in the effort
to dispose of the few thousand tickets remain

IADIES’ Wreath and Parlor Annual’!—
_j Unparalleled Attractions !—The Publishers
take pleasure in announcing to the one hundred j
thousand readers of this popular monthly, that j
with the May number commences the publica- 1
tion of beautiful full length■ Portraits of some ;
of the most celebrated musical personages. j
The following, which are already engraved,
will appear in the course of the year, accompa
nied with a biographical sketch of each, viz:
Jennv Lind, Anna Thillon, 11. Sontag, Cathc
rine Hayes, Alboni, and Mrs. E. G. Bostwick.
If these should meet with favor, although ve
ry expensive, they will be followed by others of
a'similar character, as they are determined that
the Wreath and Annual shall continue to be
not only the cheapest, but the best dollar mag
azine in the world.
The contents will be entirely original, from
the pens of the ablest and purest writers in the
country. Although a literary magazine, everv
thing of an immoral or irreligious character will
be carefully excluded. It will be the aim of the
Publishers to blend entertainment, with instruc
tion that will not only captivate the taste but
also elevate the thoughts and improve the heart.
Each number will contain a fine steel engrav
ing and a beautifully colored flower plate, also
engraved on steel, with occasionally popular
pieces'of music, and thirty-two large octavo pa
ges, printed on fine paper. The May number
will have an attractive title-page, making in all
twenty-five embellishments, and a volume of
four hundred and thirty-four pages. AH who
are interested in a pure family literature, and
are willing to assist in fostering the best native
talent are invited to become subscribers, and
in its circulation by inducing their friends to
secure for one dollar a Magazine worth three, as
either the Steel Engravings, the Flower Plates,
or the Literary contents, are worth the price of
the whole. Address

GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS.
Cass Superior Court, Sept. Term, ’55.
The Grand Jury for the Ist week beg leave
most respectfully to report —That it is with
gratitude to the Giver of all good we acknowl
edge His hand, in the dispensation of health
and bountiful crops, in all our borders, and
while we review the past, and hope in the fu
ture, the prospect before us is truly pleasing.
In the performance however, of a duty de
volving upon us as Jurors, we beg leave par
ticularly to present the following result of our
labors, yiz.: We have examined the* office of
Clerk of the Inferior Court &c., and report that
we find an excellent set of substantial leather
bound books, furnished by that officer —we also
find them kept correctly and in fine style; we
find also that the Clerk has done much extra
service, which has formerly been omitted to
some extent, and therefore recommend the In
ferior Court to pass an order allowing said
Clerk a fair compensation for said service; we
find the office furnished with a county seal,
made by C. Tompkins, in good style.
We find on the Estray Book no returns to
the Clerk from the following Justices, of the
amounts attached to their names, viz.:
John B lay lack, $l7O 00
W. Clardv, 16 00
J. H. Murdock, 10 50
Ransom Foster, 5 00
A. D. Chandler, 8 25
David Morrow, 1 75
W. L. Crow, 100 00
W. Latimer, 75 00
11. H. Pitman, 45 00
J. B. McDaniel, 35 00
John C. Dorrel, 20 00
Jouathau McDow, 60 00
A. Turner, 6 00
A. MeEver, 18 00
Riley Goss, 52 75
N.A. Jackson, 90 00
Daniel Whitner, 8 50
James Russell, 1 00
T. It. Couch, 6 50
Making in all n sum of s7oB 75
The Jury are of opinion that said sums of
money are due the county, and of right ought
to be paid.
We hare examined also the office and books
of the clerk of the Superior Court; we find the
office in good keeping, and it is with pleasure
that wc testify to the neatness and care of that
officer in the faithful discharge of his duties.
We have examined also the office and books
of the Ordinary, and we hereby report to this
body that we found them kept in a neat, order
ly and correct manner.
We have examined also the Jail arid find it
in good repair and well kept.
We have examined also the Treasury, and
find it as usual, empty, and in debt. We can
testify, however, with pleasure to the faithfu
discharge of the duties of that oflice by our
present Treasurer, and the books show that
he has advanced funds from bis own private
purse to defray public expenses.
The Grand Jury of the present week would
also most respectfully represent, it as their opin
ion, that something like a saddle-bags grocery
has been kept by the Superior Court of this
week, in the august personage of one of the
constables, without license : wherefore we can
not safely conclude that the Temperance cause
is highly esteemed, by that arm of the law, and
while we exhoncrate the Court from a knowl
edge even of this newly established feature in
the traffic, still we must set our faces against
all saddle-bag groceries, and more especially
wlien kept by a constable in attendance upon
the Court. This particular constable we have
concluded thus to cannonize, and hand his deeds
of consummate effrontery and shame, down to
future constables, as a well-marked instance of
wilful contempt for Court. We did not see the
liquor, but we did see the saddle-bags—and it
is the deliberate opinion of this Jury that no
other Jury ever saw a pair of saddle-bags as
much like a jug of brandy before—for they smelt
like the jug had been broken.. Now a constable
is quite a small appendage to the Court any
how, and when he grows so beautifully less,
as to become part and parcel of a pair of saddle
bags, that smells just like a broken jug of
brandy, he attains to a station so small iu our
•yes that we think he’s of no use at all.
It is with unfeigned regret that tlie Grand
Jury of the present term are obliged to repre
sent the county as still insolvent, and we can
not see a remedy for this toul spot upon our
history. To tax the people would be an un
righteous burden ; to leave it all to time would
be unwise—for our children would rise up to
wonder and blush at the deeds of their fathers,
and while we therefore are well assured that
something ought to be done, we know not what
to do. But the evil day must. come. The peo
ple must submit to onerous taxes, for the relief
l of their county, or they must and ought now,
to repudiate every claim that does not dart sun
beam light iu the blind eyes of Justice. It is
true beyond all doubt, the county has been
wronged—both in purse and policy, and while
we would invite all to propose a remedy, we
claim our privilege and bring in our suggestion.
When a citizen becomes insolvent, our laws
sell him out, and set him up anew—and this is
the best remedy we know for a county—let us
sell out and take a fresh start: the old books
and old records never can be purged and the
best that can be done, is to secure what is right
in them and repudiate what is wrong. Sell all
we have—pay our debts, and- walk more cir
cumspectly fin- the future.
The good name of a county ought to be worth
something, and of more value than all her
wealth besides. By remaining as we are, we
never can get that good name; therefore let us
strike (or a good name — the suggestion is given
—we invite a remedy.
In taking leave of his honor, Judge Trinpe,
we would testify to his diligent and faithful ad
ministration of the law; and return our thanks
to Col. J. J. Word, Solicitor General, for his
prompt und kind attention to this body.

Have you seen our darling Lilia,
With her sweet and winning way?
Do you know, the little Fairy
Is just onq year old to-day.
Soft dark eyes, with love light beaming,
Knowing naught of grief or care;
Rose bud lips with pearly petals—
Such is little Lilia dear.
If you’ve seen I know you love her,
With her baby face so bright—
Mamina thinks her smile the sweetest,
And we think Mamma is right.
Yet the little witch is cunning,
In her mirth-prokoking way,
Though so young—for pray remember,
She’s but one year old to-day.
With her heart so pure and sinless,
Still untouched by grief or care—
Let us hope that ne’er a shadow
May becloud her brow so fair;
For she is the sweetest, dearest
Little witch, from far or near,
And we pray that Heaven may bless her—
Bright eyed darling, Lilia dear.

Respectfully dedicated to all the Mary*.
I have a passion for the name of Mary.—
Byron.
Mid names of grace and beauty,
Os high and low degree,
Os love and faith and duty,
The sweetest one you'll see,
Is Mary for there lingers
A charm around it still.
That Time's corroding fingers,
Dare not touch or chill.
It is the Poet’s dreaming,
Ilis belle ideal warm,
When thoughts like stars are gleaming,
To weave his kindling charm ,
It is the crown that clusters
On lovely woman's head ;
It is a name whose lustres
No other one can shed.
A Saviour's mother bore it,
The purest of her kind ;
And Scotia’s Queen, she wore it,
The beautiful, refin'd;
And Burns made all immortal
Tbs lass be clasped by Ayr,
Now passed through heaven's portal
His angel lover there !
Song has embalmed in story
Her brightest of that name,
And history in glory
Has proudly writ the same,
Like talisman it thrills us
With deeply hidden power,
Like Nature's charms, it fills us.
And sanctifies the hou^,!
There are visions of our childhood
That bring us back young joy,
Won by the mead and wildwood.
Won by the happy boy ;
But linked with each sweet vision
Some Mary lives again,
Fair as a form elysian,
Dear as a Seraph's strain 1
I had a Mary—listen,
A rosebud in its bloom,
For me her eye would glisten—
And chase away all gloom ;
For me her songs were pouring
FVorn morn to stai ry night,
A sailent fountain soaring
Os unalloyed delight.
She was my richest treasure,
My hope for future days;
My never failing pleasure,
In myriad winning ways;
I feel her arms around me,
Her kisses on my cheek—
A moment, they have crowned m*
Ere Memory could speak.
Not here art thou my angel,
Thy spirit would not stay,
But rose the blessed evangel
Where sister Marys stray ;
And thus, love, faith and feeling.
With triune links do bind
That name so dear, appealing
Forever in my mind.
11)6 of Bwsbill*.
ul congratulate you on your glorious vic
tory.”—[Mayor Bebee's Speech.
It was on an August evening—
The bloody work was done,
And *.Samuel” at his cottage doer
Was sitting in the sun ;
And by him sitting on a stool,
His little grandchild, William Poole.*
They saw the dead, with ghastly wounds
And limbs burnt off, borne by—
And th. n old Sam, he shook his litad,
And with a holy sigh,
< They're only Dutch and Irish,’ said he,
• Who fell in the great victory,’
i Now tell me what ’twas all about,’
Young William Poole he cries,
While looking in his granddad * face
With wonder waiting syes—
Now tell me all about the war,
And what they killed the Irish for.’
••They were know-nothings,’ Sam'l cried,
• Who put them all to route ;
But what they shot and burn’d ’em for,
I could not well make out.
But Mayor Bebee said’ quoth ho,
That ’twas a glorious victory.’
•Named after the great prize-fighting bully,
who wns canonized in New York, and fol
lewed to his grave by eighty thousand men.
TWO DOLLARS A-YE AH, IN ADVANCE.
The Dutch and Irish lived in peace,
Yon silvery stream hard by ;
The Hindoos burnt their dwellings down,
And they were forced to fly ;
So with their wives and children fled.
Nor had they where to rest their heads.
With fire and guns the city round
Was wasted far and wide ;
And many an Irish mother then,
And new-born baby died ;
But things like that you know must be
At a Know Nothing vjetory !
They say it was a shocking sight,
After the day was won—
For twenty bloody corpses there
Lay rotting in the sun ;
But things like that, you know must be,
After a Know Nothing victory !’
Great glory Geo. D. Prentice won,
And also Captain Stone
.Why, ’twas a very wicked thing,’
Quoth Samuel’s little son.
Nay, nay, my little boy ’ said he.
It was a famous victory !’
• And Cayennes said— 4 Americans
America shall rule ”
4 But what good came of it at last ?’
Quoth little William Poole.
4 Why, that I cannot tell,’ said he,
4 But ’twas a glorious victory !*

There is a fortress fair rs art,
And cold as Russia's clime of winter,
Walled round within a maiden s benrt.
My love has sought in vain to enter.
Long I've besieged her castles fair. |
With all Love's forces sweet niid tender,
But still she reigns unconquered there.
And still refuses to surrender.
0, for some friendly power in arms—
Some Austria of contending nations—
To soften her resisting charms,
And bring her to negotiations.
For, by consent of heathen Jove,
The siege shall never be forsaken,
Till conquest crowns the arms of Love,
And my Sevastopol be taken.

Cora B. was something of a flirt—there is
no denying it though I do not like to admit
anything to her disadvantage, for she was
a great favorite of mine.
She was a pretty little brown thing, with
cheeks that the rich blood mantled freely
through as it came from a warm and gene
rous heart Cherry-ripe often parted
to reveal two rows of pearly teeth, as the
merry laughter burst gushingly out--figure
rather petite but full and graceful—a foot
and hand of fairy-like symmetry, and hair
dark, and glossy as satin—such were some
of her outward attractions. Add a pretty,
gay.coquetish manner, ami a temper unspoi
lably sweet, and you will have some idea of
Cora B.
Cora was only eighteen, but her lovers
were already so numerous, that, had she
cared to keep count of them, she must have
had a notched stick like Robinson, Crusoe,
for surely her giddy little head could nev
er have remembered them all without that
or similar aid.
Everybody petted, admired and fluttered
her; and to make love to one so loveable
seemed as easy and nalnral as to inhale the
fragrance es a flower.
Among the newest, and consequently the
most favored of her admirers, was Horace
Henderson, of P , who had recently corue to
Spriugfield, Cora's native place.
Besides being the novelty of the season, lie
was a decidedly clevi-r mid agreeabl fellow
—handsome and talented ; therefore Cora,
without wishing to make a serious conquest,
would hase been mortified at her lack of
skill if she had not succeeded in adding so
distinguished an attache to her train.
It cost her an effort greater than usual to
do so, however—aud even when .she had so
far conquered as to find him her obedient
servant to command, she saw that his assid
uities were less the result of love than gal
luntry and admiration.
She was quite content, however, and the
intimacy between them daily increased
Cora flirted with no one so much. Horace
carried her boquots more than she did her
self—she hardly ever allowed any 0110 else
to fan her after dancing, and when he ask
ed her for a ride with him she consented —
marks all of high favor.
A beautiful, cool summer afternoon was
selected for the first ride ; and Cora moun
ted on a gentle but spirited animal, exhilar
ated by the exercise, and excited by the
, nonsense her companion was talking to her,
had never been iu better spirits, or louked
more lovely.
Their way led them along by the roman
tio banks of tho Connecticut, in the direction
of Ann's famous establishment—then, nnd 1
suppose now, a favorite ride with the peo
ple of Springfield, on aocount of the smooth
ness of tho road and the beauty es the scene
ry-
The country wns lookiug enchantingly-
The river gleaming blue nnd sparkling on
their right, and on the left a full nnd com
plete orchestra of roadside choristers chaun.
ted bewitchingly behind their vernal screen.
Cora’s heart as well as her ears was filled
with music, and hor bright cheeks glowed,
and hor black eyes sparkled with pleasure.
The sun was still high when they turned
homeward, and after a lively canter they
slackened their pace to enjoy the quiet love-

I liness of nature. Coming to an alluring lit
[ tie side road, which led into a wood, they

of the hour to leave the main road to explore

j It was an enchanting little fairy cause.-
! way, carpeted with turf, and canopied with
j green ; Cora was wild with delight. Horace
seemed less pleased, or more occupied with
other thoughts, for he was unusually silent
Cora, observing his absent mood, laugh
ingly inquired the reason.
Horace rallied himself, and replied with
gaity, a little forced.
4 Ah, Miss Cora, has not a man in love the
sanction of Shakespeare and all the poets to
be merry or sad, absent or whimsical, at
his own capricious will ? I claim immunity
under the laws enacted by the poets in favor
of distressed lovers—for you know, Miss Co
ra, you see before you a man very much in
| love ”
j *lt is coming,’ said Cora to* hereself. —
i • Well, I ni sorry—perhaps I can laugh it
i offand she answered aloud 4 Indeed !
j let me take a good look then, for I should
j like to see the symptoms of a state come to
j tc regarded now a-days as problematical.’
I . Pray, be serious, dear Cora, for my sake,’
! replied Horace, in an earnest voice. • I can
j not jest on this subject—it is one so deeply
■ involving my hapyness. We have not known
each other long, Cora, but I am not one of
those who believe that the growth of friend
ship must always be counted by days and
weeks. I think I have known you as well
as if I had been acquainted with you all my
life and ‘ am sure you will not think I claim
too much in asking you to listen tome Tbe
| love 1 feel i$ so deep and earnest that it de
; mands and must havo expression. May -I
speak freely, Cora ?’
• Oh, no. no !’ cried Cora, in a tone of dis
tress—for though something of a flirt, as
I have admitted, she was incapable of a co
quettish pleasure in witnessing her victim’s
pain, or keeping him in su.-pense. 4Do not
tell me any more—l am very, very sorry
if I have done wrong, but I do not, and can
not return your affection ’
Mr. Henderson looked up in astonislimeast;
he appeared for a moment not to understand
her, and then for a few minutes to feel some
embarrassment, but be said at last with a
half smile:—
4 You have made a verry natural mistake,
Miss Cora, a&d one it would, perhaps, be more
politic, or at least polite, to leave uncorrect
ed, but my policy is always been a straight
forward one, and I will confess it was not to
yourself I had allusion just now, but Miss
0, of Boston. The kind friendship you have
shown me induced me to hope you would al
low me the luxury of talking to you of
what constantly occupies my thoughts. I
trust you wili permit me to do so, still, will
you not ?’
Cora's face was scarlet— she had made the
awkwardest of femenine mistakes. She
dropped her horse's reins and hid her face
in her hands, overwhelmed with confusion
and unable to utter a word.
Ilornco caught the bridle and led the
; horse fur her, while he strove by saying the
k ndest things in the world, by treating the
whole thing as a trifling jest, and by skillful
ly presenting to Cora the only consoling fea
ture in the case—that her reply had been
a refusal; to banish her annoyance and
mortification.
After a time she was iuducod to join rath
er shyly in his laugh, and then followed his
promised confessiou. It- consisted simply of
a lover's raptures over a fair divinity, whom
notwithstanding liis secret adoration, his
poverty forbade him to address.
Cora proved a very sympathizing and in
terested listener; and though she had no ad
vice to offer, Mr Henderson was charmed
with the absorbed attention sbe gave to his
story, and they parted better friends than
ever, notwithstanding the blunder she had
made.
A few days af.er this conversation an
opening presented itself to young Henderson
in another city, and lie left Springfield to
avail himself of it He wns absent for two
years, and having succeeded beyond his ut
most hopes in his business, he treated him
self, one summer, to the pleasure of return
ing to Springfield to spend his vacation.
Asa matter of course, he renewed bis ac
quaintance with Cora. He found her still
unmarried and unengaged—but quite as
pretty, aud, as he thought, far more fascina
ting than ever before.
The fact is that having been entirely cured
of the youthful fancy he had entertained for
I Miss 0. by the unexpected marringo of that
lady before his circumstances had so far
improved as to justify him in declaring his
attachment, he met Cora with a heart free,
instead of fottored, and he could not but see
how very attraotivo and lovably sweet she
was. *
His attentions were renewed, but in a very
different spirit from that in which they had
been rendered of old.
Cora, however, quifo unaware of this
change of oircumstanoes and feelings, re
ceived them quite on tho former friendly
footing. Indeed she was far more friendly
und secure than then, for she fancied she
knew exactly the state of Horace s affection*,
and her intunaoy with him could not there
fore possibly lead to misunderstandings ei
ther ou his part or on hers.
She felt thus quite free and easy to ride,
walk, or talk with him without scruple.—
Sometimes, it is true, she had a feeling that
there was something in hi* manuer she did
not quite understand—a aomething more of
reserve, and at the same time warmth, than
formerly, which puzzled her, but she deetd
