Further, the small oven being loose, can be put m or taken out at pleasure with very 1 Itletrouble. When much cooking is required, it can be kept out, and the stove is then the same as a regular Hatha way. 2.1.

Oh! come to my heart then, most treasured and dear, Though the wide world forsake you, vour home is still here; 1 here is rest lor your labors, and balm for vour woe, And your sure place of refuge wherever you iro. Ihe sweet home of childhood is far from our sight, No star sends her ravs through the thick spread ing night: Though clouds darken round, and the storms are in view, This heart is ail summer when smiled on by you. My bird, how the arrow' has shattered thy wing ; My rose, how thy fair hues have died with the spring; My fawn, full of lightness how wearied and spent; But thy wounds cry to heaven, and the cure will be sent! Oh " come to my heart, then, most cherished and deat. Though the wide world forsake you, vour wel come is here; % No loud winds arising shall break your repose— No cold frosts shall chill you, so warmly it glows.

(H O O S I \ G WIVES. Some Yankee eays to take a nice girl out slaying is very pretty, aint it ? And then the insinuating critters do iay tlie bells make such a din, there's no hearin one's self speak; so they put their pretty iittle mugs close up to your face and talk, talk, talk, till one can't : help lookin at them instead c f the horse, and i then whap you go, capsized into a snow drift together, skins, cushions, and all. And then to see the little critter shake herself when she ! gets up, like a duck landing f;om a pond, a j chattering away all the time like a canary bird, and you a haw-hawing with pleasure, is fun alive, you may depend. In this way, the blue- I nose gets on tooftkr himself a lover, before he knows where he is. But when he gets mar ried, he recovers his eye sight in little less than half no time. He soon finds he's treed, liis flint is fixed ihen, you may depend. .She larns him how vinegar is made. " Put plenty of sugar into tlie water afbrehand, my dear,"' bays she. 'if you want it real sharp.'* The ! larf is on the other eide of the mouth. If his slay gets upsot, it's no longer a fuuny matter, I tell you; lie calciies ii right and left. Her ! eyes don't look up to his'n any more, nor her little tongue ring like a little bell any longer; but a groat big hood covers her head, and a whappin great muff covers her hands and she looks like a bag of o!d clothes agoing to the brook to be washed. When they get out, she don't want any more for him to walk lock and lock with her, but they walk like a horse and cow to water, in each gutter. If there ain't a transmogrification it's a pity. The o'ifferuiice between a wife and a sweetheart is near about as great as there is between new and liani ci der—a man never tires of putting one to his lips, but he makes plagupy wry faces at t'other. It makes me so kinder wnmble-crept when 1 think on it, that I am cleared to ventur on matrimony at all. I have seen come bitie noies must properly bit, you may depend. The marriage yoke is plaguey opt to gall the neck, as the ash bow does the o.v in rainy weather, unless it be most particularly well tilted.— You've seen a yoke of cattle that warn't pro perly mated; they spend more time in pulling ngin each other than in pulling the load. Well that's apt to he the case with them as chooses their wives in slayin parties, <,uiltin frolics, and so on instead of the dairies a."d cheesehouse. A.\ I VLI CKY Gl Y. A personal friend, who is acquainted with all the circumstances, has furnished us with the follow ing details respecting a gun, which may be of interest to many ot our readers : Several years ago, .\ r. Benjamin F. Miller, who resides near Washington, Rappahannock county, had a favorite negro boy, whom lie fre quently took with him in his hunting excur sions. On a certain occasion, he took his gun out to shoot birds near his father's hause; the boy followed him as usual; and, either forget ting or not observing the boy, between whom and his master was some thick bushes, he shot the bird, and killed the boy at the same time. In November last, a man by the name of Johnson, also of that county, had baited some wild Turkeys, and had concealed himself amid the limbs of a fallen pine tree, near the place to await their arrival. Another gentleman, named Fletcher, who had by some means pos- ! sessed himself ot Johnson's gun, was hunting for turke>3 in the sunc neighborhood, and passing near tlie tree under which Johnson was concealed, and attracted by n noise among the • branches, catching a glimpse ot Johnson's head, who had on a black fur cap, he fired, and the unhappy man fell, exclaiming, " Lord have mercy on me!"' and immediately expired. The unlucky gun was purchased of .Mr. Fletcher by n gentleman named Cunan, who resides near Flint Hill, in Rappahannock coun ty, and a few weeks ago it was again the in strument of death to a human being. Mr. c'urran was hunting for turkeyf, near the dwel ling of his brother-in-law, Mr George W. Hompton, and coming to some thick bushes among which were grapes, and seeing some thing which he supposed to be n turkey, with out taking a closer observation, hr: fired, aud horrible to tell ! the unfortunate object proved to be a daughter of Mr. Coinpton, aged nine or ten years old. IShe lived until the next day and expired.— Ya. Tenth Legion.
