RY THE BARD OF TRY MOUNTAIN, Fast chained by bleak adversity, My weary spirit helpless lies, And waits till by stern fate's decree It to its wonted sphere shall rise. My saddened heart the torrent drinks That flows through cold misfortune's vale, Where loathsome verdure lines its brink, Unwilling I its stench inhale. could I the potent ore possess That glitters in Australian mines, How soon would fawning millions press To worship at my golden shrine? But fashion's pampered nurslings sneer At common sense in homespun gray, Whilst I the hot, unbidden tear In silent anguish brush away. Oh, grant me but the freedman's dole, Whose chains my trembling hand did smite, Nor longer leave my panting soul To battle with the mists of night. Whilst he in learning's gilded halls, The power that moves the world invokes My drooping head despondent falls Beneath the fell oppressor's stroke. Let hope's resplendent light illume My path with one faint flickering ray To cheer the soul-destroying gloom That hovers o'er the murky way. ftrirg-Ztlier. WIDOW. M"Y" BY ROCHESTER JONES advised me not to marry her—he said she was too young and pretty, . _ Farnum advised me — to bean old bache lor—told mo a man past forty simply made a fool of himself by matrimony. Tewksbury—a man who is notorious for never minding his own bwitress—told me she had made a lore affair with Harry Birmingham before he went South. Allen shook his head, and said Clara Myers might be very pretty, but he liked somebody matarer and settled. (N. B.— He married his housekeeper next week and she is mature enough for Methusaleh himself.) _ _ _ Everybody thought I was trying a dan• gerous experiment, but I didn't pretend to suit everybody—so I simply suited my self. I went quietly to church with Clara Myers, and married her one glorious Jan uary morning, when the old St. Paul's was fringed with glittering icicles and the brisk wind was freighted with the particles of flying snow, like a battalion of diamonds on a double quick. _ _ She was nineteen and I was nine and thirty. She was as beautiful as a rose bud ; I was a rough old codger, sound enough at heart, but like a winter apple, unpromising on the exterior. In short, we were as unlike as May and November, anl the good-natured world shook its head, and said, "no good could come of such an unequal match." But she said she loved me, and I believed her. Nobody could look into Clara's blue eyes and not believe her, you see. The next day I made a will and be queathed all my property unconditionally to my wife. "Are you sure you are doing a wise thing, Mr. Folliott ?" said Mr. Mardyn, the lawyer, pushing his blue spectacles upon his forehead, until he looked like an old bald gnome, with a double pair of eyes. "You see she is very much younger than yourself, and—" "Please to be so kind as to mind your own business," said I brusquely. "Don't be offended, Mardyn, but really, people seem to think I am not able to attend to my own affairs." "Just as you please," said Mardyn, in a rage. "I am a mere tool in your hands." "That's it exactly," said I. So I signed the will and went home to Clara. "Oh, Paul, you must not die !" said Clara, with a scared look, when I told her what I had done. "Nobody ever loved me as truly and generously as you have done, and I don't know what I should do if you were taken away." "There was a young Birmingham, if all reports are true—" I mischievously began, but the curl on Clara's lip stopped me. "A, mere butterfly," she said haughtily, "without either brains or principle, Paul. Paul I have found a shelter in your true, loving heart, and I mean to nestle there always." And then she cried—this foolish, soft hearted little wife of mine. Jones . and Tewksbury might have called this policy. Farnum would have said it was acting. But it was very pleasant, and I felt more than ever like a man who has found some precious jewel, and wears it like an amulet on his breast. So the things went on, until the firm of which I was managing partner needed to send some ono to Calcutta to see after a turbaned scoundrel of an agent, who had absconded with more money than we could well afford to lose. Morrison was old and feeble—Hewett's wife lay very ill, so I was the one to go. I kissed Clara good bye as cheerfully as I could, fully expect ing to be back in three months or so. I had to follow the agent up into the mountains of India—l fell ill of one of those burning climate fevers in the bunga low of au old native priest, and the months flew by, until it was more than a year be fore I found myself on the deck of the "Blue-eyed Mary," steaming into the New York harbor. And all the time Char. had not heard a word from me. • I had written to her to prepare her for what seemed almost like my rising from the dead, but I had afterward found my letters in the pocket of the neglectful na tive servant who had undertaken to deliv er the mail to the Calcutta office, "But it don't matter so much now," I thought, "she will be the more delighted, poor little girl :" And then a cold chill seemed to creep through all my veins, like November's wind suddenly breathing across a bed of flowers. Clara had heard nothing of me for near ly fifteen mouths—what might have hap pened in that time ? All that Tewksbury, and Jones and Allen, and all other pro phetic ravens of my acquaintance had said recurred to my mind like a burden of an uneasy dream ! I had been counting the hours and the very minutes until we should touch port—but now that my feet'rang once more upon the pavement of any native city, I actually dared not go home. I turned into a down-town restaurant, where I had been wont to go in the days of my bachelorhood, and slunk into that dirk corner—the twilight was just falling, and I was sheltered by the partition. Hush ! that was Tewksbury's voice, harsh and jarring as of old. "Just what might have been expected," said Tewksbury. "Pretty and young wid ows don't go begging in this market." "Folliott might have known it," growl ed old Farnum. "Poor Folliott ! there were some good points about him, too; sad thing that, very sad thing !" "We must all die," said Tewksbury gravely. "Yes, but a fellow would naturally pre fer dying in his bed to being carried off by an East Indian fever and buried in the jungles." I shuddered. Had I come home to my own funeral as it were. "And she is going to marry young Bir mingham after all ?" added Farnum. The paper dropped from my hand. "I could have told Folliott so, when I found out what a confounded idiotic will he had made," said Tewksbury. "So gold has fallen again. Just my luck; I sold out to-day." I stayed to hear no more, but staggered out in the darkness with one idea whirling through my dizzy brain—my Clara was mine no longer. It was questionable what Tewksbury had said; I might have anticipated some such end. She was too young, too lovely for such a rough fellow as I was. My widow ! what a curious sensation the words gave as I mentally pronounced them. Under my own windows, with the ruby red light shining through the wine-colored damask curtains, I stood there feeling as Rip Van Winkle might have felt in the play—like a dead man walking on the earth once more. Voices and lights were within. I opened the door softly and crept into the hall. The drawing room door was ajar. Clara herself stood before the fire with a frill of white crape on her auburn gold tresses— the awful sign of her widowhood. Direct ly opposite stood Harry Birmingham, look ing diabolically young and handsome in the soft light. "Clara, Clara," he cried, •'you surely arc not in earnest. You will reconsider ?" "My answer is final," she replied. "The time might have been when I fancied I bad a childish liking for you, Harry Bir mingham. But that time has long since passed away. I gave my heart to the best and nobleit heart that ever breathed—Paul Folliott—and in his grave it is forever buried. I loved him once; I shall love him ou into eternity! I never was half worthy of him, but—" . . . And Clara's voice was choked with sobs. My love, my darling—my own precious wife. How I ever got into the room—how I managed to make Clara comprehend that I was my own living self, and not a ghost arisen from the shadow of the sepulchre, I cannot tell to this day—neither can she —but I know that young Birmingham somehow disappeared, and I was standing with Clara clasped ta my breast, the hap piest man that ever breathed God's blessed air. For Jones, Tewksbury, Farnum & Co., were all wrong—and to use the words of the orthodox fairy stories, slightly para phrased, I and my widow "lived happy ever afterwards. puffing fa flu 1; Scraps from State Exchanges Greenville is out of debt.

Robbery of a Railway Train , CHICAGO, July 22.—A special dispatch from Des Moines gives the following ac count of the attack on a train of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad last night. The train left Council Bluffs at five o'clock, with four coaches and two sleepers in the rear, the sleepers being filled with a company of aristocratic Chi nese on their way to New England Col leges. There were also two baggage express cars, in which was the through California mail and express matter, consisting of nearly $2OOO in the express safe, and three tons of bullion. When about sixty-five miles west of Des Moines, about 8.30 P. M., at a sharp curve on the road, and in an isolated spot, with no house for several miles in any direction, the train moving about twenty-five miles an hour, the engineer, John Rafferty, suddenly saw one rail moved from its place about sixty feet ahead of the engine. He instantly reversed the engine and applied the air-brake. While in the act bullets came pelting into the engine like hail. The engins ran into the bank; turned over, throwing out engineer John Rafferty and the fireman, the former falling on the latter dead. It is supposed Rafferty was killed by the concussion, as no bullet wounds were found on his body. The fireman escaped unhurt. Tho train being very heavy, ran about a hundred feet and stopped; the baggage cars doubled and were badly smashed. As soon as the train stopped, several athletic men, masked in full linklux style, appear ed at the express car, in which were con ductor Wm. Smith, superintendent Royce, express messenger John Burgess and three other persons, and commence firing rap idly into the car, yelling, "Get out of there; d- ye, get out of there !" Two bullets passed through the clothes of the conduo tor, one grazed the skull of a baggage-man, one the side of the head of an express messenger. The inmates jumped out to the rear under cover of half a dozen navy revolvers. Two of the robbers marched up and down the train, threatening to shoot any person who showed his head, saying, "Get down out of sight, d—n you, or we will shoot you!" The robbers then took about $2OOO from the express safe and cut open the mail sacks, "but took no letters," mounted horses and rode off across the prairies in a southerly direction, the whole being done in less than ten minutes. They fortunately did not cut the tele graph wires, and Superintendent Royce at once hastened to the nearest station, and telegraphed in all directions. Engines and a posse of men were sent out from Council Bluffs, on the Burlington and other roads, to intercept the robbers. Their dress and voices indicated they were regular bnshwackers. They evidently intended to get the usual valuable express matter sent by this route on Monday, but which went through on an extra train on Sunday night. The robbers during the day stole a spike bar and hammer from a hand-car house at the station. They drew two spikes from one end of a rail, secreted themselves several rods away, and as the engine approached pulled the rail out of place. The promptness of the engineer in reversing the engine and the use of the air-brake saved the passengers from harm, not one being injured. The track was at once laial around the wrecked ears, and the train resumed its trip, arri ving here at 7.30 this morning, bringing the dead body of the engineer, who resi ded here, and who leaves a wife and three children. What Shall We Eat? This is an important question in these times of high prices. Dr. Hall, iu a late number of his Journal of Health—a good authority by the way—says the cheapest articles of food at present prices are bread (especially corn meal), butter, molasses, beans and rice. He shows that twenty five cents worth of flour, at eight cents per pound, contains as much nourishment as $2.25 worth of roast beef at twenty-five cents per pound; and that a pint of white beans, costing seven cents, has the same amount of nutriment as three and a half pounds of beef. Furthermore, a pound of Indian meal will go as far as a pound of fine flour, costing nearly twice as much. Here are some of the common articles of food, showing the amount of nutriment that is contained therein, and the time re quired for digestion : . Time of Amount of digestion. nutriment. Hoare. Min.

Some vegetables and fruits should, however, enter into family consumption, even if only purchased for sanitary reasons. Among those which contain the most saccharine matter, sweet potatoes, parsnips, beets and carrots are the most nourishing. Roast pork requires too lengthy a drain upon the forces of the stomach to be a very healthy article of diet. 511 , 31' AS A MEDlcnvE.—Dr. Maydieu of France, has revived the old practice of giving shot for bilious colic. His method is, to take No. 5 shot, after carefully wash ing them with sweet oil, and give a desert spoonful every half hour. Ile claims that in five or six hours the vomiting ceases. The Editor of the "Pacific Medical and Surgical Journal" relate the following an ecdote, illustrative of this treatment :—A clergyman was taken very sick and stop ped at the house of a good old lady, who was familiar with the treatment, who stated that she had no shot, but a bullet which would answer the purpose. She gave it to the divine, who, after being assured of its great efficacy, swallowed it, and to his joy and surprise found that in a very short time be was entirely relieved of the colic. Before leaving, he expressed some doubt to the old lady about the piece of lead so heavy finding its way through the bowels. "Oh, my," she replied, "you need have no anxiety about that, as it has been through me ten or twelve time:-." It has been discovered that Udderzook, arrested for the murder of an unknown man near Jennersville, has been engaged in robberies in Baltimore. Letter from St. Louis , ST. LOUIS, GRATIOT MICR DEAR JOURNAL : To fulfil a promise made to some friends, I will try to give your readers an account of our trip from Huntingdon to this place. Having for several years past heard of the Magnetic Springs, I at last decided to follow the tide of cripples, and see what could be done for me. I left a 7.43 on the morning of July 15th, and after a very pleasant trip by way of Pittsburg, Cleveland, De troit and Saginaw, I arrived at noon on the 17th. Came from Cleveland to Detroit by Lake Steamer, and enjoyed a good night's rest that was an impossibility by rail. En route I noticed that our State is more fa vored with good crops than either Ohio or Michigan. The corn especially is poor here, and wheat and oats are much shorter in stock than in our State. Much of the wheat is still standing, and the oats axe not colored in the least. The Spring was backward and wet, so that all the Spring grains are very poor. St. Louis is now a thriving town, eight miles from the county scat, Ithica. It has near 1000 inhabitants, and is five years of ago ; it has direct connection with Saginaw by rail. The road being finished last fall; has four hotels and quite a number of pri vate boarding houses. The discovery of the magnetic well was the first cause of its being built. In IS.S9 Messrs. Holcomb & Evans were sinking a well for salt; when it was sunk 255 feet they were stopped by a great flow of stater, and as it was a great want in this country, (there being few wells) it occasioned great excitement; people flocked in numbers to see it. Among others there was then in town a sample agent from Detroit who was furnishing Lumbermen's supplies to the only store in the place. The only peculiarity of the water noticed at first was its coldness, be ing 50° Fahrenheit. Wagers were soon made to see who could hold their hands under this stream for the longest time. This agent had one hand completely para lyzed from Rheumatism, and he laid a wager that he could hold it in the stream ten minutes, which TM S soon taken. He held it in much longer, and strange to him he noticed a return of sensibility and mo tion. Continuing the cold douche for some time, his hand was perfectly cured. This marvel spread like wild fire, and St. Louis soon had the reputation of beim -, acurc-all. It was found, too, that iron left in the water, soon became possessed of magnetic properties, and glassware was colored a light lye color if allowed to stand in the stream, which was a permanent dye. Bath houses were soon erected and invalids flocked in. The first cures were really marvelous, and I could give you columns of cases that have been carried here per fectly helpless, and have gone away, many cured and the rest much beuefitted. The cases best suited to the waters are rheuma tism in all of its forms and stages. Neu ralgic affections, diseases of the kidneys, and certain forms of Dyspepsia. There are now here nearly four hundred invalids who use the waters daily, and on Sundays excursionists come from Saginaw, Bay City and surrounding towns, making fre quently from three to six hundred snore. These come fur pleasure and the use of the waters. There is a large lumber and salt interest being developed here now. Rough boards, shingles, shuck and cooper's materials. There is also large quantities of brick made near this place.. The arch brick are perfectly white, and the casings red ; they are smooth and very fine in grain ; in their manufacture little or no sand is used. The people have all of the vim of pi oneers, and about three out of every five answer to the names of Capt. Jtlck,Shack- Nasty Jim, Bogus Charley, &R. It must be truly humiliating to the original own ers of these euphonies titles, and if it spreads they may be compelled to prove their identity. The weather is quite cool and pleasant, the thermometer seldom raising higher than 75° and often standing at 60° for 12 hours together. The nights are always cool, so that we notice quite a change from our accustomed hot days and nights at home. The associations here are pleasant; not so much style as at Cape May, Long Branch or Saratoga, but the natural facilities are much superior. Nearly all of the western and Middle States have representatives here, who stay on ab average of six weeks, but some stay for months together, think ing that away from here they could not live. One of the drawbacks to its being a fashionable resort is a malarious atmos phere in the after summer months, so that frequently persons who are cured or tem porarily relieved of their first trouble, take a turn with chills and fever. This is ob viated, however, by coming early in the season, or the continued use of quinine. Having now probably imposed too much on your columns, I will close. Supreme - Judge The press of the State speak very highly of several gentlemen as candidates for Su preme Judge, but of none more highly than the Hon. William M. Hall, President Judge of the IGth district. Knowing Judge Hall well, we believe him to be the proper man to occupy this exalted position. He combines qualities as a judicial officer and a man, eminently fitting him to head the ticket this fall, when the merits of the candidate for the place, and the highest character for integrity, must unite to win success. A fine scholar and thorough law yer, industrious and fond of the work of his profession, with a mind disciplined by system, enabling him to perform a great deal of work in a short time ; in the prime of life with good health, and even temper, he combines extensive learning, solid judgment, and unshaken integrity, and united with no clique, the favorite of no ring, is a man that would command the respect of all. If we know Judge Hall, we are confident he will do nothing to in any way farther his nomination, and knowing this we do not expect to see him nominated. The political axiom of the office seeking the man, is a worn-out sen timent of purer days and less selfish men than those in which we live and are sur rounded. But we will congratulate the convention if the candidate for Supreme Judge has all the great qualifications for the place which we believe are combined in the President Judge of the 16th Judi cial district.—Slate Journal. Advices from Lyons state that the dam age done to the church of Fourvieres by the late fire is estimated at 30,000 francs.

Let the philosophers say what they will happiness is the elixir of life, that makes us young in heart if not in person. Illinois wants people to visit that State during the hot weather—fever and ague being a sure preventive of sunstroke. A Virginia man bitten by a rattlesnake drank kerosene instead of whisky, and it answered the same purpose—cured him. The latest trip of the Juggernaut car at Calcutta, India, resulted in the crushing of eight voluntary victims under its wheels. An obituary notice in a New England paper concludes with the information that the deceased "leaves two infant daughters —both girls." A voter praising a favorite candidate at a late Irish election said, "He is as fine a fellow as ever lifted a hat to a lady or a boot to a blackguard." Spanish cruisers are on the coast of Biscay to prevent the landing of cargoes of arms for the Carlists, who now claim to have 10,000 men under arms. It is said that cannel coal can be mined in West Virginia and sold in New York at a profit of $ll per ton, against $22 for English cannel. It is said to be fully as good as the English.

The Mississippi Republican State Con vention, to be held at Jackson on Wednes day, August 27, will nominate candidates for Governor, Lientenant-Governor, Secre tary of State, Attorney General, Auditor, Treasurer, and Superintendent of public education.' A party of religiously-disposed young gentlemen, says the World, have resolved to import some St. Bernard dogs, a French chef de cuisine, and a stock of superior wines, with the intention of establishing an austere monastic retreat on the highest point on the New Hampshire mountains. At Rogersville, 0., on Saturday night. during the trial of a man calling himself Jeff Davis, for a crime committed upon a little girl nine years of age, the lights were extinguished, and the prisoner knocked down and dragged out of doors, shot twice with a revolver, and then dragged two squares and hung to a tree until dead. An order fo'r machinery was recently received in Indianapolis which was written on a postal card, which was then inclosed in an envelope with a three-cent stamp on it, and the package then sent by express at a cost of twenty-five cents, pre-paid. The sender was one of your careful men, and determined to have the thing reach its destination. Attorney-General Williams has recom mended that pardons be issued to Felix Dover, Stephen Spawn, Evan Murphy, and William Scruggs, who were convicted in North and South Carolina of Kuklux out rages, and are now servinr , ' out terms in the Albany Penitentiary. These pardons were recommended by leading citizens of the south. The idea upon which the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia, in 1876, is based—a grand centenary celebration of the promulgation of the Declaration of In dependence—is in itself sufficient to set at rest any quibbling about the propriety of selecting that city for holding a world's fair. Every part of the country recog nizes the justice of this, so it cannot be a matter of municipal jealousy. A Wisconsin man has invented a rail road switch that will adapt itself to a coining train and never be out of place. The Milwaukee Wisconsin says that it has stood a practical test, working perfectly. This will, if the report is true, lessen ma terially the dangers of railroad travel, and win for the inventor nearly as.much praise as if he had devised a switch that would cause the instant death of the man who carelessly left it open.
