To Attend the Inauguration of Governor Geary. The National Guard, Gene ral Lyle command intr, have decided to visit Harrit-burg and participate in the ceremonies connected with the inauguration of General Geary, Governor elect of Pennsylvania. The National Guard are now using every means for the purpose of increasing thuir numbers and efficiency, so that Philadelphia may have one first-class lully equipped regiment. In the absence of any militia law to encourace them, tbeir success will depend, in a great measure, upon the encouragement extended bv our citizens. Bequests. The will of the late George W.

The Military. 1 he 1st Veteran Bat talion ol Camden was mustered into the State i rvic last evening by Assistant Adjutant-General J. C. DcLacnur, attached to General George E. Robeson's statT. The Iollowing aretheofilceis elected by the respective companies, and the number of men in each: Company A Captain, It. II. Lee; Fir.-t Lieutenant, William Paae: Second Lieutenant, Alexander J. Nicholls; Third Lieutenant. William M. Palmer; 02 members. Corarany B Captain, John K. Brown; First Lieutenant, S. M. Gaul; Hecond Lieutenant, John Williamson; Third Lieutenant, George Nufie;46 members. Company C Captain. Jos. C. Nicholls; First Lieutenant, John William Coats; Second Lieutenant, George Angel; Third Lieutenant, C. M. Blown; 45 members. Com rony D Captain, John K. Cunnincrham; First Lieutenant, John H. fc-tone; Second Lieutenant, J arnes Alii bone ; Third Lieutenant, James Rober t shaw; 02 members. Gieat activity prevails throughout Camden in the military line at present. Almost all the residents who have seen service In the array end navy are coming forward and enrolling themselves as military men, thereby keeoine ellicient in the use of tne musket, and prepared, if called on again, to march to the trout to detend their country's flag. The uniform ef tho battalion will be similar to that worn by the Hawkins' Zouaves of New York in the late Re bellion. An efficient drum-corps Is attached to the battalion, ui.der the charge of Drum-Major Nicodemus Bnrth. It is expected that Colonel Wilson will be tendered tne command. A more thorough disciplinarian cannot be found; and bs he is one of the few who look well to tho comforts of his command, we have no doubt that bis appointment will be bailed with mani festations ot approbation by the whole bat talion. All the company officers saw service in the late war, and are officers worthy of the name, Camden Skating Park. -This park was thrown open to the public yesterday atternoun, and was crowded by ladies and gentlemen. Only about half the park has been Hooded, which hindered many irom participating in the health ful exercises that otherwise would have done bo. During the course of t he evening a steamer was engaged in flooding the remaining portion, and before the close of the week we hope to sec It frozen over solid, and tho skaters gliding over the smooth surface, and enjoying tho pleasures of the "second skate" of the winter. Mortality of Ofllecrg Compared with KullHtcil Mcu, The Provost Marshal's report, lately issued by the War Department, gives these striking statistics, showing the comparative mortality of officers and enlisted men during the war: ' Fiom a careful compilation of the rolls, and without including deaths after muster-out, which resulted Irom military service previously rendered, it appears that 280,739 man and offi cers have lost their lives in the army. Of this number 5221 commissioned officers, and 90,886 enlisted men have been killed in action or died ot wounds, while 2321 commissioned officers, and 182,29 euliHtcu men died ot disease, or in nome few cases from accidents. It will be observed that ot killed in battle and died of wouncH there is one officer to eighteen men, showing somewhat greater mortality on the part of officers, who, supposing the organization to bu full, constitute about one-Bt'tU part of the force. On the other band, only one officer to ninety men has died of disease. The remarkable dis proportion so greatly to tho advantage of the commissioned class, is owing to several causes. Officers are better sheltered than men, and their focd is generally better in quality and more vol led in kind, so that they sutler less from din eases of the olgettive organs. They are not so much crowded together in tents aud quarters, and are therefore less subject to contagious aud epidemic maladies. They have superior ad vnn taes in regard to personal cleanliness. As prisoners of war, too, they were generally treated more leniently, and so furnished iewer names to the mortality lists of Anderson villc, Salisbury, and other similar dens of death. Another favoring circumstance, aud by no means the leat potential, was the superior morals, the bopelulness and elasticity of spirit which is given to a man by investing him with a commission, and its accompanying authority, ie6ponsibility, and chonces of advancement. It la worthy ol note that in the colored troops the disproportion between commissioned officers and eulisted men tinder these heads is still more re markable. In killed, or died of wounds, the officers lost one in about forty-two, while the men lost but one in sixty-six. But under the head of deaths by disease, the officers shown loss of only one in seventy-seven, while that of men rises to tho enormous proportion or nearly one in seven, which is far the highest mortality from this cause exhibited in the records ot the army. The Five Wt-ddlugg. Woodon, Tin, Silver, and Golden WeddiuL's mark the fifth, tenth, twentv-fifth, and fiftieth auulrersarles ot matrimony. There is, we be lieve, a Gluss Weddirjg also, but that Is an inno vation, lor nomine; as Drittie as giiwa stiouia be used commemorative of the nuptial tie. One might suppose wooden weddjntra were neees 88i ily cheap affairs. They can be given cooiionii rally, but are not necessarily so by any means. I- or instance, a tin weaning was given at l'rovi dence, at which the bride appeared in a dress festooned with tin chains, a tm belt, and a tin veil eavelopiug her person. Tho frrooui wore a tin dress coat, tin shoes, tin hat, tin watch, etc. At a silver weddimr lately in New York the wife received irom her husband a present of a breastpin, the central stone a diamond, repre senting the wife-mother; around thU ten pearls, numerically representative ot the childreu, all of these enqjrcled by twenty-five garnets, indi cative of the trenty-titth anniversary of their marriage, and the whole surrounded by lift) diamonds, sUrnifyina; the age of the husband. A wooden wedding can be a very tasteful atluir. Lately a wooden wedding was given in Utica, by a happy five years' wife, a native ot Cleveland, in which the rooms were ornamented with festoons of shavings, pictures decorated with shavings, mottoes inscribed on the walls with shavings, the effect of which was exqui sitely tasteiul and unique. The piesents ot course were wooden, aud in such variety and character from a knot chopplng-bowl to an elaborately carved paper-cutter, from a rollimr pin to an exquisitely finished parlor bracket as to excite one's special wonder that so many useful and ornamental things c;tn be made from wootl.

When the eunligbt flickers across the floor, And the wild bees swim in a drowsy swarm. All day lonn at her cottage door, Fair in feature and dear of form, Morning and evening o'er and o'er, Weaves she in sunshine weaves she In storm. All day lone though the fields are Rreen, And shadowy woodland tempt tne sight With patient Bnger and eyes erene, She weaves, as she waits lor her absent knight, As fair a fabric us ever was seen, Wi'h roses and lilies richly pied. And the crimson oetals are stained, I ween. With drops of blood iron her fingers white. Whether he comes in the fl usu of June, When the wild b.ier blooms at the cattage gate, Whether he comes with the aut imn moon, Whether be comes when the cuckoos mate; Come he at dawning, come he at noon, Come he Parly or come he late, Little it matters, for one sweet tune Slnereth she ever I wait ! I wait! Of all that ride in that knltrhtly train, One Is noble and true I know; Surely ho will come back again And. bear her away at his saddle bow. Ai'JlL? lSSi??

Mornine and evening, early and late, Mie weave", and she makes no Mgh or moan, But the weft of the fabric is dark as fate, And the grace of the vision gone. X Magyar Poet. Sir John Bowring has edited and published iu London an edition of the writings of Alexander Pelofl, an Hungarian poet, of whom the London Review speaks as follows; "Alexander Petofl was tho Burns of Hungary, and, although born in a most humble station and lcadirg a vagabond lite, which one would think little likely to cultivate the mind, he succeeded in proaucina rustic songs which Henry Heine has baid 'are sweeter than the nightingale,' aud which have certainly placed him at the head of all Hurjgnuan poets. Ilia poems have otten been well translated into German and into other lan guages also, but not so well. The poems of Fetoti are characterized by great simplicity, feel ing, and passion; and although ho led such a vagabond life and was at ono time a strolling player, his effusions are not iu a single instance disgiaced by the impurities which disfigure the productions of many ot his compeers, and in particular those of Burns. As the noiu ber ot persons who are acquainted with the Mngyor language is very sn ail, the English poetic public win oououets do oonged to so eminent a linguldt as Sir John Bowring for giving them an opportunity, by means ot the translation before us, of gaining some idea ot Peton's woiks; although, without wishing to disparage Hr John, we must say they will only see them 'through a glass darkly.' The German tianslations of Peton's poems are certainly bet ter than Sir John's; but to persons who have not read either the Magyar originals or the German translations, the present Knullsh ver sions, which are the bet we have a yet seen, villi afford some pleasure. "Some of Petoti's shorter poems are exquisite gems, full of most strikingly original mid beau tiful ideas, the brilliancy of which, albeit dimmed by translation in the book before in. Is something marvellous. Here is oue of his pretty thoughts: " 'And what is sorrow f Tls a boundless sea. And wbat Is Joy f A little pearl In that deep ocean's bed : 1 sought it found it hold it o'er my head, And, to my soul's annov, It fed into tho ocean's depth again j And now 1 long and look tor it in vain.' " 'Wife and Sword' and 'Cypress Leaves' arc most touchingly pathetic lyrics, which, by ex ception, Sir John Bowrina; has succeeded In giv ing in musical lines. If our snnce permitted, we should certainly reproduce one or both ot' them, but are compelled to select something shorter. We therefore gave the following, en titled in the oiiuinal Rozsiboltora domh oldalou, which the translator entitles 'Faithfulness,' aud which he distorts but slightly : "There on tne mountain a rcse blossom blows, Bend o'er my bosom thy forehead which clows, Whisper, O whisper sweet words in mino car, Suy that thou lovtst me what rapture to hoai I Down on the Danube the eveniu" sun sinks, Gilding i he rivulets which dance on its brinks; As the sweet river has cradled tne sun, Cradled I rest upon thee, lovely one. 'I have been slandered, the slanderer declare Let God forgive tnem I utter no praver; Now lot them listen, while prayorlul I pour All my heart's offerings on hur I adore.' " HUtory of Fruit. . An interesting paper was read before the Ethnological Society of Great Britain at their last meeting, on "The History and Migration of Cultivated Plants in Relation to Ethnology." The first culture of fruit, It was said, was buried in obscurity, and Veyond tbe reach of history or tradition; but their migration irom their native country was often traceable, and formed an instructive aid in the natural history of iiihu. The cultivated iruits which were natives ol Europe made but a poor iist, consisting of. Hi" apple, pear, nooseberry, cuirant, strawberry, raspberry, t.nd wild plum, Tne wild, unculti vated fruits of England ti-ually bore native namts, while the cultivated ones were distin guished by names w hich point to a foreign origin. The black or brauiblelerry, the blueberry, tin' whortleberry, and tho sloe have native natue. The reverse was true of cultivated fruit' Fioui this it must be inferred thitt the ancient Britons, and even the Anglo-Saxon?, had no cultivated fruits, but contented themselves wltti etab-apt'li s, blackberries, and the like; audtlat the culture of iruit w as for the first time intro duced by the Noimnus. The Uomaus, doubtless, Introduced tho culture of fruits into Britain; built probably never extended much beyond tbe narrow bounds of their own colonies, and perished with the anarchy which followed their departure. The native fruits of ancient Greece were the apple, pear, crape, tig, wild plum, ami olive. Those ot Italy were confined to the apple, pear, mulberry, and wild plum. The Romans received the tig, the olive, aud proba bly tne grape, troin t.ieece. i lie exotic fruit", naturalized by the Greeks aud Romans, were not traceable to their native countiies by their names, 89 was often the case with Oriental nations and modern Europeans. They recclvtd the peach irom Persia and called it the Persian apple, or simply persico. still preserved in Italian, but corrupted 1u French to peche, ami still further into tho Engl'sh peach. Italy was slated to have received the fig from Syria, but It was Erobably introduced through the Greeks, who ad an earlier Intercourse with that counary ihau the Romans. Its introduction Into either of these countries must have been early and in evitable, lot it was a staple product of Palestine, from the earliest recorded time. The olive was recorded to huve leeu introduced Into Italy from Greece. Tue only fruit ot the orange family known to the Romans was the citrou, which went under the name of Median or Assyrian apple, iudicatlnft, although not very precisely, its or gin. It appeared that Europe w as indebted for borue of its most valuable fruits to Western Asia; the fruits of America being all tropical. Europe could hardly bo said to nave received any from It, with one exception, tbe pineapple. - All the best fiuiu of Great Britain, whethri Indiuenous or exotlo, were ot ancient cultivation, but through modern skill had been vaJv improved Uwtlt U sizo and I qtinlliy.
