It removes grease as if by magic, and softens the dirt by soaking, so that rinsing will in ordinary cases entirely remove it. The pow der is prepared in accordance witli chemical sci ence, and upon a process peculiar to itself, which is secured by Letters Patent. It has been in use for more than a year, and has proved itself an universal favorite wherever it has been used.— Among the advantages claimed are the follow ing It saves all the expense of soap usually used on cotton and linen goods. It saves most of the labor of rubbing, and wear and tear. Also, for cleaning windows it Is unsurpassed. With one quarter the time and labor usually required It Imparts a beautiful gloss and lustre, much supe rior to any other mode. No water required ex cept to moisten the powder. Directions with each package. And can be readily appreciated by a single trial. The cost of washing for a fam ily of five or six persons will not exceed three cents. The manufacturers of this powder are aware that many useless compounds have been introduced to the public which have rotted the cloth, or failed in removing the dirt, but knowing the intrinsic excellence of this article, they con fidently proclaim it as being adapted to meet a demand which has long existed, and which has heretofore remained misapplied. Manufactured by h HOWE & STEVENS, 2OO Broadway, Boston. Also, manufacturers of family Dye Colors. For salo by Grocers and Dealers everywhere. Oct. 18,1866—3 m J\ATEST FASHIONS DEMAND J. W.

M, TRIMMER. Carlisle, Pa. Aug, 23. 1860. The “Homo Journal” gives a brief biographi cal sketch of “ Fanny Forrester/’ from which wo extract sufficient to explain the following exqui sitely beautiful lines: “ Before saying the few words by ■which wo would recall the points of her varied iff© to our renders, let us glve.onc of the drops of agony wrung from this heaven-child while hero on trial—a poem written for her mother’s eye only, and certainly /the most manifest first breath ora soul’s utter ance that wo have ever seen in human language. It was sent to us some years ago, by one of her friends under a seal of privacy which we presume Is removed by her death. She wrote it while at Maulmnln, thermlnslonary station In India, at which time she had been left by her dying hus band, Dr. Judson, when bo embarked on a near ly hopeless voyage for his health. At the date of this poem, he had been four months dead, al though it was ten days before the sad news was communicated to her: The wild south-west monsoon has risen, With broad, gray wings of gloom, While here, from out my dreary prison, I look as-from a tomb—Alas! My heart another tomb. Upon the low thatched roof, the rain Withcensoly patter falls; My choicest treasures bear Its stains: Mould gathers on the walls; would heaven ’Tworo only on the walls! Sweet mother, I am hero alone, In sorrow and in pain; The sunshine from ray heart has flown; It feels the driving rain—Ah, me ! 'The chill, and mould, and rain. Four laggard months have wheeled their round upon It smiled; And every thing of earth has frowned On thy poor stricken child, sweet friend Thy weary, suffering child. H. S. RITTER. I'd Watched my loved one night and day, Scarce breathing when ho slept, And ns my hopes were swept away, I’d in his bosom wept—Oh God! How hod I prayed and wept I And when*they bore him to the ship, I saw the white sails spread, I kissed his speechless, quivering Up, And loft him on his bed—Alas! It seemed a coffin bed. When from my gentle sister’s tomb, Long since in tears wo came, Thou saidst “ How desolate each room!" 1 Well mine were Just the same that day. The very, very same. Then, mother, little Charley came, Our beautiful, fair boy, With my own father’s cherished name, But oh! he brought no joy—my child Brought mourning, and no Joy. His little grave I cannot see, Though weary months have sped Since pitying lips bent over mo. And whispered, “ He Is dead I”—M,other ’Tls dreadful to bo dead! I do not mean for one like me— So weary, worn and weak— Death’s shadowy paleness seems to bo E’cnnow upon my cheek—his seal, On form, and brow, and cheek. But for a bright-winged bird like him— To hush his joyous song, And prisoned in a coffin dim, Join death’s pale phantom throng, my boy To Join that grizzly throngl Oh, mother, I can scarcely bear To think of this to day I It was so exquisitely fair, That little form of clay—my heart Still lingers by his clay. And when for one loved far, far more Come thickly-gathering tears, My star of faith is clouded o’er, I sink beneath my fears, sweet friend, My heavy weight of fears. GILT FRAMES. Oh, but to feel tby fond arms twine Around me once again I It almost seems those lips of thine Might kiss away the pain—might soothe This dull, cold, heavy pain. JOHN C. LESHER. But, gentle mother, through life's storms, I may not lean on thee, For helpless, cowering little forms Cling trusting to me—poor babes! To have no guide but me. With weary foot and broken wing With bleeding heart and sore, Thy dove looks backwards sorrowing, But seeks the ark no more—thy breast Seeks never, never more. Sweet mother, for thy wanderer pray, That loftier faith be given; Her broken reeds all swept away, . That she may lean on heaven—her heart Grow strong In Christ and Heaven. . Once, when young Hope’s fresh morning dew Lay sparkling on my breast, My bounding heart thought but to do, To work at Heaven’s bchestr—my pains Come at the same behest! •All fearfully, all tearfully— Alone and sorrowing. My dim eye lifted to the sky, Fast to the cross I cling—Oh, Christ To thy dear cross I cling. Maulmain, August?, 1850. Of the hymns In human language for the soul only—few and holy and full of meaning as the commandments—this is one. Mrs. Judson, by her genius, Is incidentally one of the world’s memorable ones. To a religious class also, of which her husband was a shining prophet, her memory will be dear. But there are those who look for bright ones among the pil grims on that path of trial by the world unseen— the soul, sore and heart wrung, with the higher sensibilities that are alive to an angel’s Scope of agony. She will bo, by those, recognized and re membered. Theart of dunning is not reckoned among the fine or polite arts. Indeed there are no rules on the subject, os each cause may bo tried by itself, the success of various expedients being very much 11 as you light upon chaps.” At times a lucky accident brings the money of a slbw debtor, after the manner following: One of our merchants, nervous and irri table, received a letter from a customer in thecountry, begging for more time. Turn ing to one of his counting clerks, hesaid: 14 Write this man at.once,” “ Yes, sir. What shall I say ?” The merchant was pacing the office, and repeated the order: “ Write him at once.” “ Certainly, sir. What do you wish me to say?” The merchant was impatient, and broke out: . “ Something or nothing, and that very quick.” The clerk waited for no further orders, but consulting his own judgment, wrote and dispatched the letter. By the return of mail came a letter from the delinquent customer enclosing the money in full of the account. The merchant’s eyes glis tened when he opened it, and hastening to the desk, he said to the clerk :. “What sort of a letter did you write to this man ? Here is the money in full.” “ I wrote just what you told me to, sir. The letter is copied in the letter-book.” ' The letter-book was consulted, and there stood, short and sweet, and right to the point: “ Bear Sir—Something or nothing; and that very quick. Yours, &c., And this letter brought the money when a more elaborate dun would have failed of the happy effect. fwtal. A BEAUTIFUL POEM. SWEET MOTHER. AN ART OF DENNING. «ien itr oitto ?r A BORDER TALE. “ ’Tis a lovely morning, exclaimed the young heir of Mackeith, as he stood up on the beach of the Moray Firth, and his bright eye roved over tree, bush and heather, and mountain in his native land. “ ’Tis a lovely morning—the bright sun wending his way slowly over the glorious path of the heaven, beams with kindly warmth upon my poor exiled heart. The gay birds chant joyfully their morning orisons to the shrine of day and yonder purbling streamlet, as it flows calmly and beautifully along its verdant banks; that too, chimes a note of rejoicing to the bright gleamings of the morning light.— All nature in her loveliness shines bright ly ; each, everything has its note of joy and bears the aspect of peace, yet on my heart you strike in vain for answer to your looks of joyfulness. Each tower ing mountain in the land of my father, clothed with the verdure of the opening spring; each tree, tower, rivulet, recalls to my mind that I am a stranger in my father’s land; a wanderer on the face of the earth. Oh, Moray—Moray! -cursed be the hour in which ye haunted me—ac cursed be thy malice—that like a blast of the dread wind of the South, has on my fortunes thrown so biting, damning an influence. I struck him—and because forsooth he was a Lord of the realm, I, only by flight, could save myself from disgrace. Well, well; three years must have blunted the keen edge of his resent ment ; and I return at all hazards, for by yonder sky, I swear I would rather that the green earth shrouded ray cold form, than brook another year of absence from Scotland, and from Emma. Emma Mor ton! where, where is she? I dread almost to approach the ivyed tower, on whose turret we have so often stood, gazing up on the Firth of Moray, as the summer sun sank beneath the horizon. Butaway with gloomy thoughts!” Mackeith threw nis plaid overhis shoul der, and with a firm step and a fearless eye, he strode up the glen. Dark and bitter fancies, in spite of himself, ever and anon intruded themselves into his soul. He had been absent three long years; what changes during that period might not have taken place. That gentle form, which at the gentle hour of even tide, bounded forth to meet his hurrying steps—might rest, cold and cheerless in the valley of the dead. Those bright and beautiful eyes, which ever with a glance of love welcomed him might have closed in endless night. That voice—but he shook off the terrible fancy, and onward toward the castle,'’pursued his course. ‘ Give yegood morrow, sir,’ interrupted his revery—and as he turned hastily with the salutation, he beheld an aged servi tor of his father’s with hawk in hand, strolling down the glen. He returned the salute cordially, and on the impulse of the moment, would have clasped the old man in his arms; yet, perceiving he was not recognized, he checked the feelings, and with a cold, yet a kind air, looked upon him. “ A blithe day this, your, honor—come next Michaelmass, and I will have count ed seventy and one years, yet by my crit ic I think I never looked upon a lovelier morn than this.” “ It is indeed a lovely morning, my old friend, a day in strict sorrow,. might al most seem sacrilage—yet by thy eye, old man one would think there is something to sorrow for.” “Ah! heaven bless your honor, there is one to whom this will be a bitter and a sorrowing day, and I too must sorrow to see a lovely maiden, in such a sad and woeful strait —poor, poor Emma!” “ Old man, in the name of heaven, I conjure thee to speak—what—what—Em ma ?” “ If your honor, as by your words and manner it would seem, knows Emma Morton ” “ Now God of heaven have mercy on me,” exclaimed Mackeith, ns he reeled almost senseless against an old dak— “ Nay speak , in meroy haste thee, and tell me all —aye all —let me hear the worst ?” The old man stood for a moment, gaz ing in vague and uncertain surprise upon the noble form before him—racked as it was, by conflicting emotions. Suddenly a gleam of fire shot in his eyes, and sink ing upon his knee, he cried, “ Saint An drew oe blessed—it is—it is, my master.” If you love me, speak—what of my Em ma?” “She Uvea,” “Thank God!—but you spoke of mourning?” “Bier mother followed her father but last night to the grave.” “Father, mother, and they are both dead ? poor, poor girl—and I away. Heav en rest their souls.” “The poor girl, your honor is overpow ered with grief—yet that is not the worst. ’ ’ “Thy words, old man, are fire brands to my soul—tell me and briefly, what hath passed during my absence?” 11 When your honor left us, without the hope of ever discovering your place of refuge, the poor lady had nigh wept her life away. Every evening, as the vesper star came beneath the broad bosom of Moray Firth, I beheld her roaming, with tearful eyes through the Park; ever and anon in a low voice repeating the voice of Ronald ■ Mackeith: then she would wring her hands and the big tears would roll in torrents down her pale cheeks.” “No more—no more, my curse be on the Moray.” “ She knew full well the cause of your absence, my honored master; and she feared, while she hated Moray's proud and unfeeling lord.” " But I will on with my tale; a fort night since, the lord of Morton was killed in a Border fray. The good lady Morton, partially through grief for her husband, and partly through the effects of the ma lignity the Moray bore her, three days ago died—and last night she was borne to that last home of all, the grave. “ Alas! alas I” “ The lord of Moray, who claims the lands and castles of the Morton’s right of his birth, though as the whole country around thinks unjustly—is, perhaps at this moment driving from home, the lovely Emma Morton. " The base, the treacherous, unfeeling monster! and does the House of Douglass submit to this injustice?” “ So far, it has.” “ But by Saint Andrew, so shall it ho longer. By and through right of my father, William Mackeith, I claim the right to speak—and so heaven bless me, as my tongue and sword shall be devoted to her cause. Go, gather ye together ev ery man who bears the name of Douglass, lo meet them at Glen Morton—no words, but away." “ But your life—the Moray is at Glen .Morton!” “ The more need is there then of my ?resence there —get thee away and do as bid thee.” “ I will obey ye.” And they parted—Mackeith for Glen Morton, and the old man to collect to gether his master’s clan. In the old border day, when might made right, and “ ikn man wore his ain belt, Ills ain gait," (to use one of their own expressive adages,) and the sword and the buckler wore more often referred to than the flat of justice ; such claims and such injustice as that of this manu script now details, with shame.for the inhumanity of man towards man were of too frequent occurence. The Lord of Moray knew full well, that Ronald Doug lass, of Mackeith) was (falling the lineal,) the nearest collateral male descendeut of the great Earl of Douglass, the friend of the Bruce. Yet Eonald had disappeared, his father, the late Laird of Mackeith was dead, and Moray resolved to appeal to the sword of injustice to assert a claim, which was groundless, during the life of Ronald Mackeith. In an apartment of the Castle, then termed Glen Morton, the fair lady Emma sat clothed in the dark robes of mourning. She sat motionless, ashy paleness of her forehead, contrasting almost fearfully withthesombrehuoofherapparol. There was a trampling of armed feet In the hall, and then a voice, as of entreaty, which she recognized as that of the old Warden of tlie Castle, said—“ For Heaven's sake fly. The Earl of Moray will bo here anon, with a large force: thy life will be the forfeit.” “Stay me not, MacDougal,” returned the other, " what care I for the proud Earl of Moray—lead mo to the apartment of the lady. “ Here it is, sir, yet let me enter first and prepare her mind for this unlooked for encounter.” The door opened, and throwing aside the old man Mackeith sprung into the room. “ My Emma,” burst from his lips as he entered. As one in a dream, the lady gazed around her vaguely, then with a shriek of joy, she sprang into his arms. Long and ardently he embraced her to his bosom, and tears flowed from an eye un used to weeping. To the world it boots nothing, what pas sed between those lovers, during the few minutes left to them to tell each other the trials they had passed through But a few moments passed ere the Earl of Moray, alone, entered the Castle. The Warden entered the apartment, and. in formed them of the fact. Mackeith sprang to his feet, and sword in hand left the apartment, the Lady Morton trembling with anxiety the while. Two gentlemen met in the hall of the Castle, and the Moray with a surprise and fear, but too poorly concealed, start ed as he saw the stern eye of Mackeith, bent on him in bitter contempt. 1 ‘ Well met. Lord Earl of Moray, he said “ methiuks this is no proper place to show that plumed bonnetofthine, at this time.” “ I, death, are thou here ?” “ Aye, by the cross of Saint Andrew, I am here, Ilonald, late of Laird. Mackieth .- now Earl of Morton, and Peer of Scot land.” “ And by the cross of Saint Andrew,” answered the other, “ thouliest; thou art neither Earl, nor Peer.” The Earl of Morton said not a word ; he raised his sword, and it was met by that of the Moray. Their eyes flashed lire, and with bitter and hatred they strove for the. mastery. Twice did the sword of the Douglass enter the body of the Moray, and the red blood flowed freely from the iwounds. The Douglass perceived him to falter, and with one blow of his clay more, the sword of the Moray flow from his grasp, high into the air, and broke as it fell on the stones of the Court yard. “ Go, get thee home, Moray, and learn that even the Injured, fully wronged man, can forgive his enemy.” The Moary bit his lip in anger, yet ho turned and passed through the gate of the Castle. “By heaven,” he said, “thou shalt hear from mo again, ere the sun again shines in the Heavens ; and he crossed the drawbridge.” “ Prepare for a siege,” cried Morton to the Warden, “ bow and crossbow to their posts on the walls—let the calvierins be prepared, and Maclver, hie thee to Holy .Rood, and let our good King know of this goodly piece of work.” One after another, the clansmen of the Douglass entered the Castle, and ere the sun set, full fifty gentlemen of good name and lineage, ana a thousand men at arms, garrisoned the Castle at Glen Morton. The sun arose the next morning on the Moray’s troops, encamped before the Cas tle. Banner and plume waved gaily, hel metand breastplateglanced brightly in'the rays of the morning sun.' And the loud war cries of the different clans echoed through the glens and forests of Glen Mor ton. The manuscript details fully and explic itly each turn of the battle, yet at too great length to be inserted here. For three days all stratagems and open wage of deadly Var occupied the two belligerent Lords. The Moray found it impossible to force the Castle, and at length, at the reiterated command of the King, (lacked at the last, with the trial of-armed inter ference. ) He retired from before the Cas tle of the Douglass, and subsequently re linquished all claim to the Earldom of Morton. RonaldDouglass,(nowindisputedlyEarl Morton,) and the fair Emma were mar ried, with highland pomp. And the Pi pers of Glen Morton played, while the peasantry danced a merry strathspey on the lawn before the Castle. Ronald lived to a goodly age, and was renowned In the annals of Border Chiv alry, as ‘‘ Ronald of the bloody Brand.” and as a valient and right honorable and goodly Lord. A CKPSY DIVORCE. A writer on the habits of the gipsies gives the following account of the core monies of divorce. He says: Divorce is common. It is performed over the body of a horse, which Is sacri ficed for the occasion. The ceremony must take place, if possible, “when the sun is at its heights.” All the parties concerned in it carry long staves in their hands. A horse without blemish is led forth, and a member of the company is chosen by lot to act as priest on the occa sion. He walks round the animal sever al times, repeating the names of all the parsons in whose possession it has been, and extoliug its rare qualities. It is then let loose, and several Gipsies sent'off in pursuit of it. If it is willd and un tract able, leaps ditches, kicks, and will not allow itself to be easily caught, the guilt of the woman is looked upon as enormous; but if it is tame and docile, her crimes are thought to be less heuious, and the death of the horse is sufficient to wash them away. But sometimes both woman and horse used to be sacrificed together. The individuals who catch the horse bring it before the priest. They repeat to him all the faults and tricks he has com mitted ; laying the whole of the crimes which the woman is supposed to have been guilty to its charge, and upbraiding and scolding the dumb creature, in an an gry manner, for its conduct. They bring, as it were, un accusation against it, and plead for its condemnation. When this part of the trial is finished, thepriest takes a largo knife and thrusts ft into the heart of the home; and its blood is allow ed to flow upon the ground till life is ex tinct. The dead animal is now stretched out upon the ground. The husband.then takes his stand on one side of It, and the wife on the other, and, holding each other by the hand, repeats certain appropriate sentences In the gypsy language. They then quit hold of each other, and walk three times around the body of the horse, contrariwise, passing and crossing each other at certain points ns they proceed in opposite directions. At certain parts' of the animal (the corners of the horse, was the Gipsy’s expression,) such ns the hind and forefeet, the shoulders and haunch es, the head and tail, the parties halt and face each other, and again repeat senten- Ices in their own speech at each time they halt. The two last stops they make In their circuit round the sacrifice, are at the head and tail. At the head, they again ADVERTISING TERMS.

Immediately af ter the separation takes place the woman receives a token, which is made of cast iron, about an inch and a half square, with a mark upon it resembling the Ro man character T. After the marriage has been dissolved, and the woman dismissed from sacrifice, the heart of the horse is taken out and roasted with fire, then sprinkled with vinegar or brandy, and eaten by the husband and friends then {iresent: the female not being allowed to olu in this part of the ceremony. The >ody of the horse, skin and everything about it, except the heart, is buried on the spot; and years after the ceremony has taken place, the husband and friends visit the grave of the animal, to see whether it has been disturbed. At these visits they walk round about the grave, with much grief and mourning. The husband may take another wife whenever he pleases, but the' female is never permitted to marry again. The token or rather bill of divorce which she receives, must always bo about her person. If she loses it, or attempts to pass herself off as a woman never before married, she becomes liable to the pun ishment of death.

BEAUTIFUL BBIDB AND INTERESTING COM- A correspondent of the Richmond Lis patch, writing from Loudon county,' Va., gives the following interesting account of a Quaker wedding in that section : Much of our population consists of that class known as “Quakers.” In their mode of worship, manner of dress, arid many other customs, they diflbr in their denominations, but more particularly in thomatterofmarriages. I attended one of these, by invitation, last Thursday, and will endeavor, as nearly as I can, to give you an accurate account of the proceed ings. The parties proposing matrimbny are required to hand in their “ intentions' ’ to a business meeting at least one month before the timeappointed for the wedding. This meeting appoints a committee to in quire into the propriety of the match and report at the next meeting. If the report is favorable—i. e., if nothing which they consider an obstacle is presented'the pa rents of guardian of the young lady give their consent to the union. One pecu liarity of marriage among the members of ■this society, is, that by its rules the cefe.- mony shall take place during the day; none ever married after night fall. In the case of the one of which we are writing all the preliminaries having been settled, the parties repaired to the resi dence of the bride’s father where the cere mony was to take place, aud found the house already filled, for their circfe of ac quaintance was very large. The' bride groom is one of our most energetic and enterprising citizens; frank, free and joy ous, he is always the life of every party of which he forms a part. The bride is Ithe youngest daughter of one of the oldest and;most honored of our citizens. Al ways bright and beautiful, she was doubt less so on this occasion. Dressed in the purest white emblematic of her spotless character, with no ornament save those supplied by nature, she walked in with the bridal party and took the seats pre pared for them. After a short season of silence the bride and groom, with their waiters, rise to their feet, and the gentleman, in a clear and distinct voice, repeats the vow which is prescribed by the discipline: ‘‘ln the presence of the Lord and before this as sembly I take L. J. to be my wife, prom ising, with divine assistance, to be unto her a loving- and faithful husband until death shall separate us.” And immedi ately following him, the lady, in a soft arid tremulous voice, but still loud enough to be audible to all within the room, re peated her portion of the vow: “In the presence of the Lord and before this as sembly I take W. B. to bo my husband, promising, with divine assistance, to be unto him a loving and faithful wife until death shall separate us.” This was fol lowed by signing the marriage certificate >by the newly married couple, and a large number of those present, nearly one hun dred, os witnesses. The marriage cere mony was now completed, these twain have been made one and the company dispersed over the different rooms to en joy os best suits their fancy. But, as I be fore said, a committee of older friends is always on hand to see that everything is conducted properly and in good order. — Their presence, however, cause but little restraint upon the youngest members of the party, for these old people, stale and solemn as they riiay appear, are iriany of them full of fun aud pleasure, and enjoy a pastime of this sort as much as those who are younger, and more given to parties, frolics, &c. Responsible Task. —They tella good story, In Baltimore, of General Wool who was at one time in command of the Mid dle Department. During the invasion, of Maryland by Stonewall Jackson, rumors were rife in Baltimbre that that übiqu itous leader, at the head of fifty thousand men, was marching upon the city. As the story goes, General Wool, accompan ied by his staff, rode out the Fredrick turnpike to reconnoiter. As they were returning to the city, tbe'General stopped at the tollgate, and calling the keeper, thus addressed him, in that sharp, precise way for which he is famous.' “See.here, .my man I It is rumored that Jackson and fifty thousand rebels are advancing upon Baltimore by this road. I want you to shut this gate and keep it shut against them. If you let a man of them,pass through, I’ll hold you personally respon sible for it.” Leaving the gatekeeper overwhelmed with the grave responsibil ity of his new duty, the General quietly pursued his way back to the city.
