Ladies' Boots.
A little glove r stirs up my heart, as tides stir up the
ocean,
And snow white muslin when it flits, wakes many
a curious notion
All sorts of laay-fixins thrill my feelings as they'd
orter,
But little female gaiter-boots are death, and noth
ing shorter! '
And just to put you on your guard,
I'll give you, short and brief,
A small hotel experience,
Which filled my heart with grief.
Lean summer at the Clarendon,
I stopped a week or more,
And marked two "boot-lee," every morn
Before my neighbor's door;
Two boots with patent leather tips—
Two boots which seemed to say,
" An angel trots dround in us "
They stole my heart away.
I saw the servant take 'em off,
With those of other brutes;
His soul was all on sixpences,
But mine was iwthe boots.
And often in it 4 nightly dreams
Tbey s'Wept before my face,
A lady growing out of them,
As Bowen grow from a vase.
But ah! one morn I saw a sight.
Which struck me like a stone,
Some other name was on the book,
Those boots were not alone !
A great tall pair of other boots
Were standing by their side,
And off they walked that afternoon,
And with them walked—a bride !
Enough, enough—my song is sung,
Love's tree bears bitter fruits
Beware of beauty, reader mine,
But oh! beware of boots!
Would You?
Baby crowing on your knee,
While you sing some little ditty,
Pulls your hair or thumbs your "ee,"
Would you think it wasn't pretty ?
Tell me, could you ?
It you owned "the baby," would you?
Wife, with arm about your neck,
Says you look just like tha baby;
Wants some case to make a "spec,"
And you would refuse her—may be—
Could you, should you?
If you owned '•the woman," would you?
Little labor, little strife,
tittle care and little cot;
Would you sigh for single lilel
Would you murmur at your lot?
Tell me, should you?
If you owne d "the cottage;" would you?
Health and comfort, childr n fair,
..
Wife to meet you at the door,
Fond hearts throbbing for you there;
Tell me, would you ask for more 7
Should you, could you 1
If you owned "the ready," would you?
Loss of the Royal George.
This event being alluded to by a gentleman in
the presence of his childreff; - he found that some of
them had never beard of it. Accustomed in his own
early years' frequently to hear it not only alluded to
but detailed, he was at first surprised to find that a
few grown up young people were ignorant of it ;
but the circumstance is not, in reality, surprising.—
The generation to whom last-century events were
familiar, is passing away; .and the bulk of the com
munity now date their births from years subsequent
to 1800. Nay, however startling it may be to some
even the last war is already becoming so remote an
event, that a very great number of persons, now
acting their parts on the stage of lite as heads of
families, have no recollection of it. Under these
considerations, and being of opinion that the loss,
of the Royal George Was a remarkable incident in
itself, we have caused the following brief account
of it to be drawn up from authentic sources:—
The year 1782 sad/ Britain in a more humbled
condition than any former one fur a century. The
attempt to coerce the American colonies, and the
war with Fiance, Spain and Holland, wnich result
ed from that attempt, had completely exhausted
the national resources; and the people witnessed
the unwonted spectacle of a French fleet defying
the coast of England with impunity. It was at tnis
juncture that the special calamity of the accidental
loss of the first ship in the navy took place.
fleet was in preparation at Portsmouth for the
'relief of a brave garrison which had long held out
Gibraltar against the fleets of Spain. Amongst the
vessels destined to sail on this expedition, was the
Royal George, fitted to carry 100 guns,, but in re
ality mounting 108. A contemporary dociiment
states- 4 She was the oldest first-rate in the service,
her keel having been laid down in 1751. She was
. rather short and high than agreeing with the rules
' al proportion at present laid down, yet so good a
sailor, that she has had more flags on board than
Any vessel in the service. Lord Anson, Admiral
Boscawen, Lord Rodney, and several other princi
pal officers, had repeatedly commanded in ner.—
LordHawke commanded the squadron in her which
fought the French under Contlans, when tile Su
perbe 01 seventy guns was sunk by her cannon, and
the Soleil Royal, of eighty-lour, drivenrin shore and
burned. She parried me tallest masls'and squarest
canvass of any English -built ship in the navy, and
originally the heaviest metal—namely, fifty-two,
• forty, and twenty-eight pounders; but they were
lately cbanged, on account of age, to forty, thirty
two, and eighteen pounders." •
Betore the Royal George could sail, it was deem
ed necessary, oh account of the age and unsound
ness of her timbers, that she shbuld receive a ca
reening—namely, an inspection, and repair of the'
parts usually antler water. If time had not pressed,
she would have been towed for this purpose into
dock. As the case stood, it was resolved that she
should be laid over on her side, as usual, when a
slight careening is required, in calm weather and in
smooth water. So little difficulty or danger washp
prehended, that the admiral, captain, officers, and
crew—amounting to about 900 persons—contin
ued on board ; neither guns, stores, water, nor pro
visions were removed ; and fully 300 women and
children, mostly relatives of the seamen, were on
board from the neighboring harbor.
Early in the morning, the 29th August, the work
was commenced by a gang otcarpenters. The ves
sel received what is called a parliament heel, or, in
ordinary language, was caused to incline in the
water, so as to expose her lower timbers. It was
afterwards stated that the. workmen, finding it nec
essary to strip off more of the sheathing than was
expected, in order to come at a' certain leak, heeled
her a little more over than was intended, and than
possibly the commanders knew. About ten in the
morning, while Admiral Kempenfelt was writing
in his cabin, the larger number or people were be
tween" the decks, no one dreading any harm, a sud
den and unexpected squall threw the vessel entirely
over on her side, when, her port-holes being open,
she filled and sunk so quickly, that, as one of the
survivors declared, he had only time. to cry to his
brother that she going down, when down she went !
A victualler, which lay alongside, was swallowed
up in the whirlpool which the sudden plunge of so
vast a body occasioned, and several small craft,
though at a considerable distance, were in immi
nent danger of sharing the same /ate.
The admiral, with a number of brave officers,
and most of these who were between decks, perish
ed. Tim guard, and most of the other people upon
deck, were more fortunate, being picked up by the
boats of the fleet. About 300 in all, chiefly per
sons belonging to th,e ship's company, were saved;
while from 900 to 1000 were drowned. The cap
tain, (Waghorne) was picked up in a much inju
red condition; but his son, a lieutenant, having been
below, perished. The whole of the women and
children, having been between the decks at the mo
ment of the accident, were lost.
This accident was universally bewailed, not BO
much for the loss of an eged'vessel, as for the de
struction of life which attended it. Admiral Kemp
enfelt, though seventy years of age, was peculiarly
lamented. "He was held," says a contemporary
record, "to be, in point of professitmal science,
knowledge and judgment, one of the first naval offi.
cers in the world; particularly in the art of ma
nmuvring a fleet, he was considered by our greatest
commanders as unrivalled; and his excellent quali
ties as a man, at least, equalled his professional mer
its as an officer. His father was a Swedish gentle.
man, who coming early into the English service,
generally followed the fortunes of his master, James
IL Being re-called by Queen Anne, after the death
of that unfortunate monarch, and serving with dis
tinction in her wars, he was promoted to the rank
of lieutenant-colonel, and was, at the time of his
death, lieutenant-governor °l a the island of Jersey.—
That gentleman's character was so admirable, as to
be depicted and immortalized by Addison in the
Spectator, under the well known appellation of
Captain Sentry."
The same authority adds, that a large sum of
money was immediately raised by subscription, in
London, for the widows and children, and other de
pending relations, of those who had perished by this
accident. A court martial was held, a few days
after, on Captain Waghorne, who was honorably
acquitted.
The diving-bell, the improvements of which were
then recent, was brought into operation for the re
covery of property in the Royal George, which was
the more practicable, as she had not sunk in deep
water. In the ensuing November, by this means
sixteen guns and some cordage was fished up, and
brought into Portsmouth. In the ensuing summer
by the same means, the beer 7 hoy, which sunk with
the Royal George, was brought up. An endeavor
was made, by great cables round the body of the
Royal George, to draw her up also ; but every effort
failed, in consequence of the snapping of the cables.
In the summer of 1784, the anchor was recovered
—an immense mass of iron, weighing nearly five
tons. Since then, by the employment of the diving
bell at various times, other articles have been rais
ed from the lost vessel, and some of the guns which
had lain several years in the water, and become
curiously oxydated, are shown to the public in
London. On investigation, some years ago, the
mass of the vessel was found to be nearly buried in
1 sludge. Portions of it have been raised.
THOUGHTS BOHN OP A CAILYSS.--“ 0, what a nice
place to cry !" said a laughing little girl, as she
nestled her head lovingly on her mother's breast.
The words were spoken playfully, and the little
fairy was all unconscious how much meaning lay
hid in them; but they brought the tears to my eyes,
for 1 looked forward to the time when care and
trial should throw their shadows over that laugh
ing lace—when adversity should overpower—when
summer friends should tall off like Autumn leaves
before the rough blasts of misfortune—when the
faithful breast she leaned upon should no longer
warm with love and lite—when, all the wide earth
there should be for that little one no "nice place. to
cry."
God shield the motherless ! A father may be
lett—kind, affectionate, considerate, perhaps—but
a man's affections form but a small traction of his
existence. His thoughts are far away, even while
his child clambers on his knee. The distant ship
with its rich freight, the state of the money mar
ket, the fluctuations of trade, the office, the shop,
the bench; and he answers at random the little
lisping mortal, and gives the child a toy and passes
on. The little, sensitive heart has borne its child
ish griels through the day unshared. She don't
understand the reason for anything, and nobody
stops to tell her. Nurse "don't know," the cook is
"busy," so she wanders restlessly about, through
poor mamma's empty room. Something is want
ing. Ah! there is no "nice place to cry !"
Childhood passes; blooming maidenhood comee
on; lovers woo, the mother's quick instant, timely
word of caution, and omnipresent watchfulness, are
not there. She gives her heart, with all its yearn
ing sympathies, into unworthy keeping. A, fleet
ing then the dawning of a long
day of misery; wearisome days of sickness; the
leeble moan of the first born; no mother's arm in
which to place, with girlish pride, the little wait
ing stranger; lover and friend afar ; no "nice place
to cry I"
Thank° God !—not unheard by him, who "wi
peth all tears away," goeth up that troubled heart
plaint from the despairing lips of the motherless !
Fanny Fern.
GaN. JAcfisost.—He was a man I Well do I re
member the day I waited upon him. He sat there
in his arm chair—l•can see the old warriors face,
with his snow-white hair, even now. We told him
of the public distress—the manufacturers ruined,
the eagles shrouded in crape, which were borne at
the head of twenty thousand men into Indepen.
denca Square. He heard us all. We begged him
to leave the deposits where they were ; to nphold
the great bank of Philadelphia.
Still he did not say a word. At last one of our
number more fiery than the rest, intimated that it
the bank were crushed, a rebellion might follow.—
[hen the old man—l can see him yet,
"Come," he shouted in a voice of thunder, as his
clenched right hand was raised above his white
hairs, "come with bayonets in your hands instead
of petitions—l am ready for you all I By the Eter
nal! with the people at my back, whom your gold
can neither buy nor awe, I will swing you up,
round the Capitol, each rebel of you, on a gibbet as
high' as Haman% !"
When I think of that one man standing there at
Washington, battling with all the powers of bank
and panic combined, betrayed by those in whom
he had trusted, assailed by all that the snake of
malice could hiss, or the fiend of falsehood could
nowt—when I think of that one man, placing his
back against the rock and folding his arms for the
blow, while he uttered his awful vow—" By the
Eternal! 'I will not swerve from the path I have
chosen!" I must confess that the record of Greece
and Rome—nay, the proudest days of Cromwell
and Napoleon—cannot furnish an instance of
will like that of Andrew Jackson when he placed
his life, soul and fame on the hazzard of a die for
the people's welfare.—Lippard.
How DEACON SMITH COURTED THE WIDOW.—
The Deacon's wagon stopped one morning before
Widow Jones' door, and he gave the usual cGuntry
sign that he wanted somebody in the 'house, by
dropping the reins and sitting double, with his el
bows on his knees. Out tripped the widow, lively
as a cricket, with a tremendous black ribbon on
her snow-white cap. "Good morning " was soon
said on both sides, and the widow waited for what
was further to be said.
"Well Ma'am Jones, perhaps you don't want to
sell one of your cows, now, for nothing, any way,
do you?"
Well there, Mister Smith, you couldn't have
spoke my mind better. A poor, lone woman like
me does not know what to do with so many cre
tins, and should be glad to trade, it we can fix it."
Sp they adjourned to the meadow. Deacon Smith
looked at Roan—then at the widow—at Brindle—
then at the widow again—at the Downing cow—
then at the widow again—and so through the
whole forty. The same call was made every day
for a week, but the deacon could not decide which
cow he wanted. At length, on Saturday, when
Widow Jones was in a hurry to get through her
baking for Sunday—and had "ever so much to do
in the house," as all farmer's wives and widows
have on Saturday, she was a little impatient. Dea
con Smith was as irresolute as ever:
That 'ere Downing cow is a pretty lair cretur,"
said he, "hut—"he stopped to glance at the wid
ow's face, and then walked around her—not the
widoWbut the cow.
"That ere short horn Durham is not a bad look
ing beast, but I don't know"—another look at the
widow.
"The Downing cow I knew before the late Mr
Jones bought her." Here he sighed at the allu
sion to the late Mr. Jones, she sighed, and both look
ed at each other. It was a highly interesting tno
ment.
"Old Roan is faithful old milch, and so is Brindle
—but I have known better." A long stare suc
ceeded his speech—the pause was getting awkward
—and at last Mrs. Jones broke out—
"Lord! Mr. Smith, it rm the cow you want, do
say so!"
The intentions of the Deacon and the widow
Jones were published the next day.
"THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS, WERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD."—Buhanan.
CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING I AUGUST 23, 1853.
The Girl with the Tin Pail.
"Earth's blossonis thrive not in the shade,
'Ablest by gentle showers from heaven;
But that sweet flower, by kindness made
To bud and bloom will never fade,
And truly are its odors given." •
Some twenty years ago, I was an apprentice boy
in the then "City of mud," now the goodly city of
Rochester. Tbe.bueinees of which I was obtaining
a knowledge, was conducted upon Exchange street
though I boarded in one of the streets in the west
ern part of the city.
In going to my tea, I was in the habit of meet
ing, almost every evening, for many weeks in suc
cession, a small, well dressed and good looking girl,
with a pail in her hand. At length my curiosity
became excited, and I resolved to ascertain, it pos
sible,the daily errand of the girl. Having met her' ,
the ollowing evening, I accordingly turned on my
heel, and followed her at a distance that would not
excite suspicion in any one. lat length saw her
enter a small shoemaker's shop on South St. Paul
street. 1 subsequently learned that the shop was
owned by an industrious young man, and an excel
lent mechanics, and that he was the girl's husband.
He had been married a few months, and possessing
no other capital than a good name and robust con
stitution, had resolved to economize, by hiring a
house in the suburbs of the city.
His breakfast was always ready for him by day
break, and taking his dinner with him, he saved
the..hoar each day which most persons spend in go
ing and in coming from that meal. Many econo
mists would have been satisfied with the saving of
so much time as this between the rising and going
down of the sun, but not so with the young shoe
maker. He also wished to save the hour usually
devoted to tea,
and therefore had that meal daily
taken to him by his pretty little wife. Tnis ar
rangement enabled him to spend the whole dhy, and
as much of the evening as he chose in his shop.
The industrious habits of the shoemaker were
soon discovered and met with their due reward.—
Customers flocked in upon him, and he was obliged
not only to rent a larger shop, but to employ an ad
ditional number of workmen. But the increase of
business did not wean him from the plan he had
early adopted for the saving of time— his third
meal still having been taken to him by his wife,
in the tin pail.
About this time 1 left the city, and did not re
turn for about twelve years. I had not, however,
forgotten the shoemaker, having, from my first
knowledge of him, discovered the germ of success
in his manner of life. I visited the place where his
old shop had stood; it had given place to a new
brick block. In vain I looked about for the sign
—it was nowhere to be seen. I was at length in
formed by a friend that about two years previous
he bad removed to Ohio.
"Do you know anything of his circumstances?"
I inquired.
"I do. In the first place he took to Ohio about
five thousand dollars in cash, some three thousand
of which he invested in real estate near Cincinnati;
he has already realized three tipes the amount.—
The other two thousand he put'lnto a pork estab
lisfiment, and that sum yielded him a large profit.
But if he had resorted to speculation," added my
friend, "he could not but have succeeded in life, so
thorough were his businegthabits, and especially as
those habits are seconded by an industrious little
wife."
I have recently returned from a visit to Ohio, and
have again seen the shoemaker and his wile. He
is now in the prime of lile, and possesses an ample
fortune, mid an unsullied reputation for honor and
probity. Never having had any personal acquaint
ance with him, I introduced myself as a Rochester
onion. This was late in the afternoon. I very
cheerfully accepted an invitation to take tea with
him. Improving a moment of silence at the table,
I remarked: -
"I fear Mr. H., you are not so great an economist
of time as. you used to be?
"Why not ?" he inquired.
"When I first became acquainted with Mrs. H.,
you could not afford to go home of tea, and she
used to carry it to you."
"In a little tin pail," said she, bursting into a
laugh.
" Exactly."
" indeed, Mr W ~ have you known us so long ? "
I then made myself known as the former appren
tice of Mr. R., and was immdiately recognzed by
Mrs. H . , as one of her eariier street acquaintances
in Rochester.
" But the pail; what do yon think has become of
that ? asked Mr. H.
, That, I suppose, has been long since numbered
with the things that were," I answered.
n By no means, " said he, at the same time tip
ping a wink to his wife.
She arose from the table, and left the room, and
soon returned with the identical pail, as they both
assured me. I need not say that it bore palpable.
evidence of the ravages of time.
" But what is your object in preserving that
pail? "'
" Its associations. We look upon it as one of the
earliest instruments which contributed to our suc
cess in lite, and as such we shall ever cherish it. "
I soon atter Wok leave of Mr. and Mrs. li., and
their interesting and happy family ; and not a day
since then has my mind been without its remem
brance of the Girl and her Tin Pail.
BURSTS OF ELOQUENCE.—The .following burst
of eloquence wa, delivered before a court ul Jus
tice in Virginia :
"Your honor sits high on the adorable seat of jus
tice, like the Asiatic rock of Gibraltar, while the
eternal river of mercy, like the cadaverous waves
of the vallay, flows meandering at your teet."
The following is the commencement of the speech
of a lawyer in. New Jersey :
'Your honors do not sit there like marble stat
ues to be waited anout by every little breeze."
Another orator thus commenced his harangue:
"The important crisis which were about to ar
rive have arriven."
Another thus expatiated:
"The court will please to observe that the gen
tleman lrom the east has given them a very learn
ed speech. He has roamed with old Romulus, sock
ed with old Socrates, ripped with Euripides, and
canted with old Cantharides, but what, your honor
does he know about the laws 01 Wisconsin ?"
Extract from the argument of a young ,awyer
before a Mississippi justice:
"May it please the court-1 would rather live
for thirteen hundred centuries on the small end of
a thunderbolt—thaw the ragged end of a flash of
lightning—awallow the corners of a Virginia
worm fence, and have my bowels torn out ,by a
greenbrier, than to be thus bamboozled by the gen
tleman."
A SING:MAU FACT.—It appears that the yellow
fever in New Orleans has scarcely carried off one
single Odd Fellow. The Crescent Ciiy says:
It appears by the reports of the various cemeter
ies that there have been no interments at the " Odd
Fellows Rest" for over a month, and there has not
been a death in the Order during the last month;
from any disease, until yesterda ) , when a member
of one of the German lodges died. There are about
five thousand members of the Order in this city. Of
this number probably eight hundred are on a visit
to the North, In the Comthercial Lodge there are
about three hundred membars, and for the last six
weeks there has been only one member sick.
117" We learn from the Washington Star, that
the Post Office Department have recently decided
that under the law of 1852, a subscriber residing in
a county in which a paper may be printed and pub
lished, is entitled to receive it through the mails
free of postage from the post office within the de.
livery 01 which he may reside, even though that
office may be situated without the limits•of the coun
ty aforesaid.
fla - Mrs. Partington's country niece, upon being
told by a young lawyer that in the county where
he resided they held Court four times a year, ex
claimed, "La, me! why you aint half up to the bus
iness; the young fellows here come a courting three
times a week!"
!Intense mental activity, steadily directed to
some leading pursuit is the ecource of all distinc•
tion.
How I fell in Love, and what became of it.
The first time I saw Mrs. Periwinkle, was when
she was 'sweet sixteen.' It was at a party my sis
ter gave her schoolmates, and Amelia Ann,for that
was the dear creature's name, was the divinity of
the evening. She wore a blue dress—l shall never
forget that dress—which was cut low in the neck,
showing a pair of the whitest, roundest and most
polished shoulders in the world; and she had long,
golden ringlets that flowed down her back—in short,
I thought I had never seen anything halt so angelic.
Perhaps she was as much impresded by my ap
pearance; she has often since told me she was, for
she allowed me to dance with her almost every set,
said 'yes' to everything 1 proposed, and drank a
glass of champagne at supper, at my urgent request,
though insisting that she had never done such a
, aicked thing in her life before. When Harry Han
sen spoke to her, and asked her to eat a philopena
with him, I felt as if I .could have knocked him
down. Dear creature, I heard her afterwards re
fuse to let him see her home ' and shall never for
get how ch3piallen he looked, when she said, with
a toss of the head .no, thank you, I'm engaged.'
It was I that escorted her to her father's door,
and when she asked me in, I didn't know, for a min
ute, whether I stood on my head or feet. But I de
clined, pleading the late hour. On my way home,
1 whistled, sung, and occasionly danced; never had
I felt so happy, it seemed as it I could almost fly.
'Oh ! Amelia Ann,' I kept repeating, thinking what
a pretty name it was, and then I would break out
into 'Zip Coon,' perhaps 'Dan 'rocker,' till at last
a watchman tapping me on the shoulder, told me
not tu 'cut them shines or he'd take me up for be
ing tipsey.' Frightened halt out of my wits, l gave
him a dollar, and had the satisfaction of hearing
him growl out, in return, that he saw I was a gen
tleman, .vich saved my bacon.'
I reached home, and began to undrpss, but bad
to stop, with a stocking nalf off; to try and recall
how Amelia Ann looked. I shut my eyes and lean
ed back dreamingly in my chair, to all up satis
factorily the image of her plump shoulHers and
round white arm. It was a bitter cold night, but
in spite of it, I paused in turning down the sheets,
and when one foot was already raised to get into
bed, for it suddenly,struck me that, perhaps, Amelia
Ann was thinking of me at that moment; yes! sit
ting abstractedly before her chamber fire, all in vir
gin white, blushing and ruminating. 'Ali! dear
Amelia Ann,' I ejaculated clasping the air, and drop
ping the coverlid; and in that ecstacy I stood all the
cold, which bit me like a pair of nippers in ten
thousand places at once, and popped into the bed,
and curling up like a whip-lash, repeated 'my love
ly Amelia Ann,' till, falling asleep, I dreamed of
her all night.
I called three times that week to see her. She
played on the piano divinely, and sang like a St.
Cecilia. Her 'Last Rose of summer' was enchant
ing, better than Jenny Lind's I thought. I have
never forgotten her two boisterous brothers, who
used to talk aloud. while she sang, and who, even
when silent, never listened to her. The rude boors!
The second week I knew Amelia Ann, I spent
every evening but one with her, and then she had a
headache, and could see nobody. How I walked
up and down, on the other side of the way, looking
up at the windoW which I knew to be her's and
where a light was burning! Once or twice a sha
dow was reflected on the curtain, and that was al
most as good aeseeing her. 'Dearest Amelia Ann,'
I said, it I could only have your headache for you.'
The next Sunday I proposed. Everybody but
we two had gone to church, and we remained at
home to read 'Lallah Rookh.' I can still point out
the exact spot, on the back parlor sofa, where she
sat when she promised to be mine.
We have been married Live years, but somehow
or other, she don't care for dress any more, and as
for poetry, she declares it 'trash.' Her hair is woi n
plain, and often looks frowsy; but she says it's im
possible, with all her family, to be fixing it forever.
In truth, our three darlings occupy so much of her
attention that she has no 'no time for nothing.' She
never opens the piano, 'she does not know the new
• pieces,' she says, 'and is tired of the old ones.'
She often tells me it is a wonder she looks as
well as she does, considering the trouble of house
keeping, especially the perversity of children and
the difficulty of keeping servants. Her cares, she
declares, 'are wearing out her so that I con
sider it a miracle she survives at all. It is true I
endeavor to lighten the load for her by nursing the
baby all the evening, and getting up, at night, to
carry it if it cries. I allow her, too, unlimited
credit at the milliners; for she vows she could not
be happy without four bonnets a year.
I used to think, before we were married, that she
lived ,on air, perhaps like a chamelion, or without
eating. But she has an excellent appetite now. If
it wasn't for that, she says, she should long since have
died under her troubles. She was very fond of porter,
till she joined tne, temperance society, since which
time she has bound great benefit in drinking the
strongest black tea. She has certain dishes, which
are quite :favorites with her her; for it was but yes
terday she said : 'Be sure you come home to dinner,
love, for we are going to have what I love above
all' things, beet-steak smothered in ontozis.'
Arid thus I .tell in love with a blue dress and
white shoulders, that heel-steaks and ONIONS might
come of it.
Good Mr. Editor; do all sentimental young ladies
turn out so?
SONALE a Hati.—Severe hail storms do not ap
pear to be confined, this year, to any latitude or con
tinent. Wuile the American newspapers are tilled
with accounts of such tempests, the European jour
nals chronicle similar ones of almost equal intensity
A Paris correspondent of a London paper, now be
fore us, says: The summer, which came in like
a lion, has gone out like a tiger, and lett the lag-end
of winter in its place—hail storms, water spouts,
and easterly winds have done their work." In the
same journal, we find the account of a great hail
storm, which occurred at Rouen, ou Saturday, the
15th of July, and which was almost an exact dup
licate of the oue that swept over tots region on the
Ist of July. Although the fall of hail continued
but five minutes, so great was the quantity which
Jell, that a heavy rain which followed, and which
continued lull a quarter of an hour, was not sndic
lent to dissolve them. Panes of glass were broken,
trees stripped - of their leaves, and even passengers
wounded, it is said. The general size of the hail
stones was tha tot a pigeon's egg, though some were
even larger. In ancient times, this concurrence' of
severe hail storms would have been considered an
omen of impending war, pestilence, or other calam
ity. Such signs, in tact, did precede the taking of
Jerusalem, by Saladin, 1188, and other important
events. It is not impossible that war may follow
these hail storms now. But in this enlightened age,
it would require the credulity of a spirit-rapper, to
believe worn the accidental coincidence, that the one
prognosticated the other.—Bulletin.
DEATHS IN THE LATE GENERAL TAYLOR'S FAdl-
ILY.—The New York Mirror, in recording the
death of Col. Bliss, who fell a victim to yellow
fever, atPascagoula, on the sth inst., thus feelingly
alludes to the occupants of the Presidential man
sion a few brief years ago:
Only a daughter (the widow of Col. Bliss,) of
the victor at Buena Vista, of his family who occu
pied the ' White House,' is left. What a startling
change since the hour that saw the republican sol
dier borne by the hurras of a grateful people from
the field of battle and peril, and to him of undying
fame and honor, to the highest seat of earthly pow
er. Then, all was life;
the proudest aspirations
that could fire a mortal heart were fulfilled ; the
loftiest ambition reposed satisfied under the shad
ow of a goal reached unsolicited, a fame perfected
without blemish. General Taylor and his wife, and
Colonel Bliss then lived ; their present honored and
happy, their past glorious, and their future bright.
They are all dead I One ink of the loving and
beloved circle of that family group, on which the
eyes of the nation rested with delight, remains.—
She is, indeed, widowed and orphaned—millions
will share, though they may not lighten her grief."

Memorials of Lancaster county;
Historical and Biographical, Statistical and
Incidental, by J. M. Willis Geist. Illustrated.
Having engaged to write a new History of Lan
caster county, on an original plan, as indicated in
the title above given, the undersigned adopts this
plan of calling the attention of his fellow citizens
to the interest and importance of such an underta
king, with a view to their aid in collecting materi
als for the same.
It will be apparent to any one that a complete
book,.covering the ground contemplated in the ti
tle, will be an important contribution to the library
of every citizen. As our title implies, it will be
'something more than a mere history—A book of
Memorials of the past, treasured up for the present
and the future—embracing
I. tiurrosicatAn authentic narrative of local
events in the order in which they happened, with
comprehensive and impartial reflections on their
causes and effects, as revealed in the facts related.
.ll.' . l3iusitteratcer.—The history of the life and
character of our most prominent and usefil citizens
—many of them the home-bred heroes of unwrit
ten history—from the first settlement of the county
up to the present time.
111. Srarirricat—A collection of interesting
facts, systematically arranges, respecting the State
of Society, the condition of the People, their Do
mestic Economy, Arts, Property, and Political
Strength, in the past and present.
IV. Irtmhserrst.--This division will embrace
such matter of local interest as may not be consid
ered essential to any of the other divisions of the
Work, but which have' been invested by circum
stances of sufficient importance to claim a subordi
nate place in the Memorials.
The, Memorials will be handsomely illustrated
with appropriate embellishments, among which
we may name full-page panoramic and perspective
views of the city of Lancaster, and Boroughs and
principql Villages, with their picturesque land
scapes; the Public Buildings, including the, old
Court Homes and Jails, with an outline plan of the
town of Lancaster, and a Map of the surrounding
country in 1730, from the original copy in the Ar
chives of the State; also, a complete map of the
county at the present time. In addition to the
above, each biographical sketch will be, so as far
as practicable, illustrated with a portrait.
All persons in possession of interesting or curi
ous Pacts and Documents, or any information
to m
which might be °
e to the author in writing out
the Memorials on the plan laid down, will confer
a. special favor by opening a correspondence with
the undersigned. Additional particulars relating
to the time and place of birth, the early history and
family connections of ROBERT Fuvrott, 'and other
prominent natives of the county, are especially 80..

DR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon-
don, Graduate from one of the most eminent Col
leges of the United States and the greater part of
whose life has been spent in the Hospitals of Lon
don, Paris, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, has Abet
ed some of the most astonishing cures that were
ever known. Many troubled with ringing in the
ears and head when asleep,great nervousness, being
alarmed at sudden sounds, and bashfulness, with
frequent blushing, attended, sometimes, with de
rangement of mind, were cured immediately.
BMZIMM=ZMMI
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by private and improper indulgcneies,
that secret and solitary habits, which rum both
body and mind, unfitting them for either busbies
or society.
These arc some of the sad and melancholy ef
fects produced by early habits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the back and limbs, Pains in.the head,
Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Power, Pal
pitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous lrriia
bility, Derangement of the Digestive Functions,
General Debility, Symptoms of Consumption, &c
Mentally.—The fearful effects on the mind are
much to be dreaded: Loss of Memory, Confusion
of ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil of Forebo•
ding, Aversion of Society, Self Distrust, Love of
Solitude, Timidity, &c. are some of the evils pro
duced•
NERVOUS DEBILITY
Weakness of the system, Nervous Debility and
premature decay generally arises front the destruct
ive habit of youth, that solitary practice so fatal to
the healthful existence of man, and it is the young
who are the must apt to become its Victims from
n ignorance of the dangers to which they subject
tnemselves. Parents and Guardiar.s are often mis
led with respect to the cause or source of disease
in their sons and wards. Alas! how of:en do they
ascribe to other causes the wasting of the frame,
Palpitation of the flea.., Dyspepsia, Indigestion,
Derangement of the Nervous System, Cough ant!
Symptoms of Consumption, also those serious
Mental effects, such as loss of Memory, Depres
sion of Spirits or peculiar fits of Melaticlmly, when
the truth is they have been caused by Indulging
Pernicious but alluring practices, destructive tr,
both Body and Mind. Thus are swept from ex
istence thousands who might have been of use to
their country, a pleasure to their friends, an orna
meth to society.
WEAKNESS OF THE Oftf:ANS
immediately cured and Mll vigor restated.
Oh, how happy nave hundreds of misguided
youths been made, who have been suddenly resto
red to health front the devastations of those terrific
maladies which result front indi,.retion. Sur!,
persons, before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
should reflect that a sound mind and body are the
most necessary requisites to promote connubial,
happiness. Indeed, without this, the murneyihro'
life becomes a weary pilgrimage-; the prospert
hourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes
shadowed with despair, and filled with the melan
choly reflection that the happiness of another be
comes blighted with our own. Let no false delica
cy prevent you, but apply immediately.
He who places himself under the earn of Dt
JOHNSTON, may teligiously confide in Ins hon

skill us a Physician •
