PATENTED MAY 20, 18G6.
mHIB is an article for washing without
I rubbing, except In very dirty places, which
will require a very slight rub, and unlike other
preparations offered for a like purpose, will not
rot the clothes, but will leave them much whiter
than ordinary methods, without the usual wear
and tear. 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,

Also, manufacturers of family Dye Colors. For
salo by Grocers and Dealers everywhere.

The wonderful flexibility and great comfort and
pleasure to any lady wearing the Duplex Elliptic
'Skirt will be experienced particularly In all
crowded assemblies, operas, carriages, rail-road
cars, church pews, arm chairs, for promenade and
house dress, as the skirt can be folded when In

iently as a silk or muslin dress, an invaluable
guftlfty In crinoline, not found in any Single
pring Skirt.
A lady having enjoyed the pleasure, comfort,
and great convenience of wearing the Duplex
Elliptic Steel Spring Skirt for a single day, will
never afterwards willingly dispense with their
use. For Children,Missosand Young Ladies they
are superior to all others.
They will not bend or break like the Single
Spring, but will preserve their perfect and grace
ful shape when three or four ordinary Skirls will
have been thrown aside as useless. The Hoops
are covered with Doable and twisted thread, and
the bottom rods are not only double springs, but
twice (ordouble)covered; preventing them from
wearing out when dragging down stoops, stairs,
&c.. Ac.

ladles and is universally recommended by the
Fashion Magazines as the Standard Skirt of the
fashionable world.
To enjoy the following inestimable advantages

every Hoop will admit a pin being passed
through the centre, thus revealing the two (or
double) springs braided together therein, which
Is the secret of their flexibility and strength, and
a combination not to be found in any other
Skirt.

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

a more elaborate dun would have failed

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

utter some more gipsy expressions, shake
hands, and finally part, the one going
north, and the other south, never again

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

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.
