Oome and listen to my story, Story of a fearful snow storm, Snow storm that beat all creation, Wide wild raging drifting snow storm : Snow o’er town, and snow o’er country, Snow on railroads, snow on turnpikes ; Snow on streets, and snow up alleys ; Snow on door steps, snow in entries, Nothing to be seen but enow drifts ; Very like that dreadful snow storm In the song of Hiawatha. And the snow storm brought its sorrows To the Monumental city. Very early Monday morning All the mothers and the nurses, And the fathers and the children', All the people in the city Went to doors and looked for milk-men ; Looked and sought in vain for milk-men, Thought each bell that they bearl tinkling Was the bell of their own milk-man ; But it was’nt, and the fathers, And the mothers, and the nurses, And the children, and the servants, Could’nt get their milk for breakfast, And they had to do without it ; Fathers cursed and mothers grumbled, But they had to do without it. And the milk-men in the country Struggled wildly in the snow drifts, Struggled hard but could’nt come it And the day grow on and older, Aud the mothers sat at windows, Snt at parlor windows grimly, Sat and sighed and looked for milk men ; And the nurses and the servants „ Grumbled, cried and pinched the babie3. Pinched the helpless little babies, Squalling, weak unhappy babies ; Pining, peevish sickly babies; Babies taught by sad experience Milk could not bo had in snow storm 3. And the mothers wild and frantic Tried to soothe and calm the babies, Arrow root and tapioca > Boiled, and gave it to the babies ; But the babies were’nt humbugged, They would have their milk or nothing. Thus the weary morning ended, And the nurse 6 tired with watching, And the mothers sick with waiting, Said 'twill surely-come this evening. Then some bad mischievous urchins Got a boll and at the corners Imitated.loud the milk man : Thfen from every area railing Started out a colored servant, With a little pitcher started, Racing wildly thro’ the snow drifts, . Striving first to reach the corner, Rushing first to catch tho milk-man ; And in every little pitcher There wore pennies, three cent pieces. Safely put to pay tho milk-man, But tho servants could’nt find him For the very best of reasons, That he had’nt como to town yet ; But the bad mischievous urchins Rung the bell to fool their mothers, Fool their unsuspecting mothers, • Fool their lovely little sisters, And their angel baby brothers ; And their fathers caught and licked them, Licked them ’cause they fooled their mothers. Then the shades of night descended, And the milk was not forthcoming, And they took their tea without it, •Wont to bed and dreamed about it, Tossed and tumbled in their slumbers, Dreamed ot bells of various sizes,. From a ohurcb bell to a tea bell. But we cannot paint the anguish Of the fond and weeping mothers When they heard their children crying, Cry for milk and could’t get it; Hiawatha’s wasn’t nowhere When he sought for broad and butter, For his starving Minnehaha. THE DOUBLE RESCUE ; OR, THE STRENGTH OF LOVE, “A dreadful night—o, a dreadful night!” murmured the young wife with a shudder, as screening the pane with her hand from the bright firelight, she at tempted, but in vam, to penetrate the' storm and darkness without. “God grant he may be near,” and with this heartfelt petition she turned from the window, seated herself and took up her knitting. Cheerful, homelike was the aspect of that humble apartment. Near the fire, whose brisk blaze filled the room with a ruddy glow, and streamed far up the-wide ehimney, sang the waiting tea-kettle; while a neatly spread Bupper table occu pied the centre of the floor, which was scoured almost to snowy whiteness. The face of the only inmate of the dwelling, the female above mentioned, wore an anxious, troubled expression.— Ever and anon, the rude blast rattled the latch on the outer door, she paused in her work, and raised her .eyes full of hope and expectancy, then, when only the groan ing of the neighboring forest trees met her listening ear, sighed, and again strove, by attention to her employment, to confine her thoughts, and calm her apprehensions. Slowly and distinctly the tall clock at the back part of the room, told the hour of eight. The young woman put aside her task, and once more went to the window. The tempest had not in the least abated, but raged with the fury of a thousand uncaged lions, and seemed still increasing. Fearful indeed was that evening’s ele mental warfare, over that bleak’Canadian plain! “Yet he comes not—my husband.— Merciful Heaven befriend us!” Tears gathered in the eyes of the gentle, devoted wife, and fell like rain upon her . agitated bosom. For some moments she Btood indulging their flow, until her heart, like a lightened ship, rose to its wonted place upon the billows which had threat ened to overwhelm it. Hope repeated her whisperings; and, in imagination, the young wife beheld the sturdy form of her beloved, nobly breast ing the storm, and step by step nearing his home in safety. Already she seemed pouring for him the fragrant, steaming beverage, and listening to his expressions of thankfulness for surrounding blessings. She turned to the table, cut another, slice from a loaf of inviting appearance, and laid it upon the already laden plate. After replenishing the fire, she resumed her seat before it, and gazed into the writhing flames, that hastily embraced the fresh fuel; and with a serpent-like kiss swallowed the snow-flakes, as they dropped into its red, open jaws. The minute hand of the clock had tra versed half the distance around the dial plate. The evening was fast waning, but the absent one waß absent still. About noon of that day he had left home, on foot, intending to transaot business in a vil lage five miles distant, and return by nightfall. At. that time no signs of an immediate storm were apparent, but as the day drew near its close, the'olouds began to gather I thick and heavy, and the snow to fall in huge, feathery flake's. Faster and faster it desoepded, till all the air seemed filled by one - mighty avalanche. Three hours l had passed, and the storm-god in all his terrible fury was yet abroad. j , At length, calmness could be maintained 1 by the waiting wife no longer. Hope and i ' trust'faltered, died within her bosom.— | Starting [from her chair, she paced the j ! floor, wringing her hands in agony, though j her eyes were tearless, and her pale lips ; mute as sealed in death. Vainlyj did she endeavor to persuade herself into the belief, that the fierceness . of the stprm had'prevented her husband 1 from leaving the village—she could not be | deceived. He would never voluntarily . ! abandon her thus to loneliness and awful ! uncertainty—no; the assurance was all too ; undoubted, .that the oold and the tempest ' had overpowered him on his way, and he ; had sunkiamid the drifting snows to perish. ! No wonder that her cheek blanched to marble hue, and her eyes 'grew wild with | terror! Suddenly she pauses, while every feat : ure speaks desperate resolve. See, she ■ hurriedly envelopei herself in oloak and hood, and now with firm step moves toward the doori Upon what is she determined 1 Surely she will not expose‘that frail form ito the strife that rages without! That were an dot of insanity! But yes; she lifts the latch, uncloses j 1 the door. On the instant, a furious gust; drove a portion of the snow which had j , accumulated against the panels to the ■ opposite side of fhe room. Unable to ; compete with its rage, the agonized wife j 1 shrank l ack, with a low, tremulous moan; and applying her j whole strength*” to the | door forced it agaih to its place, between ! herself and the roiigh elements without. Slip waited but a moment., however; the next she had rushed forth, closed the door 1 bebiud her, and I was plunging wildly . ; down the snow-fpled path. The storm ; was over, the clduds were beginning to j ; break, and let down the rays of the moon, ; whose broad disc had just risen above the . j horizon. But while the snow had ceased ; j to fall, the cold hjad grown more intense, i I and the wrath of the wind was nothing! i spent. j | Madly it swept across the extended \ plain, converting: it in aspect to a stormy .j sea, where foam-prested waves ohase and j dash upon each jother, like wrangling de- ! i mons. Onward tpSed that solitary female, j j through the blinding, suffocating snow which was codsequently being hurled against her; tkdugh an occasional blast, fiercer than the others, compelled her to I halt for a moident, and bury her face in the folds of her cloak. Then her slender form, swaying to and fro as it had been a yielding saplirig, seemed as if it must be borne down, but affection, deep, all pow erful affeotion buoyed her up and lod her forward. It was a dreary waste over which she had to pass; no cottage window sent forth a cheering gleam; only a snow-covered plain and barren trees, in the distance, could be seen. No power could have summoned human; aid to the spot; the direst shriek of distress would have been wasted on the aif And now, when nearly a mile lay be tween her and home, the wife felt herself exhausted, and benumbed by cold to a de gree that she could proceed no further.— The sharp winds pierced her garments as if they had been hut a robe of muslin, and put to the torture every fibre of her frame. Her limbs refused longer to obey her will, her breath was gone, her very heart’s blood seemed turned to ice. She tottered, fell, and the same blast that bore her down, wrapped her in a shroud of snow. But exerting herself to the utmost, she rose to her feet again, for her last glance had rested on a dark object a short distance in advance, and the possibility of its being him she sought, her to make one more effort. Filing her eyes upon the ob ject which had her attention, she struggled forwfrd, and reached it just as her last remnarfit of strength was expend ed. f It was indeed her husband. He had contended with the elements, till chilled, wearjed, and almost breathless, then had sunk down in the path in order to recover himself for a further effort. No thought of perishing had passed the strong man’s mind; but no sooner did muscular action cease, than the lethargy which but for timely breaking had ended in death, was upon him. All sense of suffering fled, gay colors floated before his sight, and the sound of the angry blast seemed sweetest music. i He sat with his feet drawn up, and his head bowed upon his knees. How long he had remained thus he knew not, when the voice of his wife exclaiming, “ Thank God we die together!” sounded faintly in his ears ; and the same instant he felt 1 her prostrate form and encircling arms. These quickly roused him to a sense of their sit uation, and that .sense warmed the con gealing life-current, and sent it lightning like through its channels. The knowledge of the danger, the cer tain death to which his idolized companion was exposed, and from which he alone could save her, at once raised him above the power of fatigue and cold. Starting to his feet, he folded her insensible form to his bosom, and bore it toward their home, as if she had been the merest in fant. The blast to him was but a zephyr, the snow drifts but unresisting air. He' paused not until the cottage was reached ; where the wife was presently restored to anima tion, and both to happiness. Each had saved the other from a fearful death. . A Cement to China Wake.—From an English almanac, we a long time since, cut a recipe for mending china-ware, and the opportunity having occurred for testing its virtues, we found it admirable, the frao ture being scarcely visible after the article had been repaired. It is thus made : Take a very thick solution of gum arabic dissolved in water, and stir info it plaster of Paris until the mixture becomes viscous paste. Apply it with a brush to the frac tured edges, and stick them together. In three days the article cannot be broken in the same place. He that follows nature, is never out of his way. Nature is sometimes subdued, but seldom extinguished. —Lord Bacon. There is no course of life so weak, as that which is carried on by exact rule and discipline. The least debauch to such a man will ruin him.— Montaigne. “ THAT COUNTRY, IB THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.” LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNTNG, EEBRUARY 3, 1857. THE GRAVE OF MONROE The New York Times calls attention to the fact that the remains of Monroe are interred in a hnrial ground in that city without a monument to mark his resting place. He lies beneath a simple slab, upon which is merely the inscription— “ James Monroe, Robert Tillotson, Vault No. 147.” There is nothing to indicate that the James Monroe mentioned is the Monroe who was in the battle of White Plains, and received a ball in the shoulder at the attack on Trenton; who fought by the side of Lafayette at Brandywine, who was Minister to France in 1794, and after wards also to England; who was Sec retary of State in 1811, and for two full terms President of these United States.— Yet such is the fact, and that weather stained slab of marble, two feet square, is all the monument that cx-President Mon roe has. The Times states the following additional facts : As Mr. Mourot was a Virginian, it. is the supposition of most people that he died and was buried within the Old Dominion; but this is an error. Mr. Monroe, in his last days, resided with Samuel Gouverneur, late postmaster of this city, who married his only daugh ter; their residence was on the corner of Prince and Elm streets. The venerable Dr. Francis tells us that he often met Mr. Monroe walking out when the weather was fine, and on these occasions he was the object of the most affectionate attentions. He has often met him making purchases for the family at Centre market, where all the stall men knew aud honored him. He was' tall and spare, very modest in his bearing, digni fied and gentlemanly. In his address he was hesitating and diffident; as polite to the poorest and humblest as to any. He was one of the most industrious of men, a hard student, and his cares left their marks on his faoe. The wound he received at Trenton was felt for many years after wards—indeed, throughout all his life he occasionally suffered from it. His last illness was a long and tedious one. His attendant was his son-in-law’s family physician, Dr. Berger. He expired at half-past ten o’clock on the morning of the 4th of July, 1831. . His funeral was a very imposing one— the largest that at that time had ever been seen in New York. The military, under Gen., Jacob Morton, grand marshal, filled Broadway from Pripce to Broad streets, through which it passed to the cemetery. The day was fine, and the signs of mourn ing were generally adopted by our citizens. The vault in which his dust still lies is on the east side of the cemetery, just to the right of the main walk as you look in from the entrance. The passer-by will notice a small pole on which a dove is perched. Within a yard of that pole is the saored spot. Mr. Monroe shares even his grave with another man. He had no wealth when lie died, and in his death no tomb of his own. THE BABY’S SHIRT; OR MARY ANN’S WEDDING, AS RELATED BY MRS. JONES “We are all preparing,” said Mrs Jones, “togo to the Wedding. I was going, father was going, the gals was going, and we. was going to take the baby. But come to dress the baby, could’nt find the baby’s shirt. I’d laid a clean one out of the draw ers a purpose. 1 know’d jist where I’d put it; but come to look for’t ’twas gone. '“For mercy’s sake !” says I “gals” says I, “ has any on ye seen that baby’s shirt 1” “Of course, none on ’em seen it; and I looked, and looked, and looked, and I looked again, but ’twant nowhere to be found. It’s the strangest thing in all natur,” said I, “ here, I had the shirt in my hand not more’n ten minutes ago, and now it’s gone, and nobody can tell where. I never seed the beat. Gals,” says I, “do" look around, can’t ye ? But fretting woul’nt find it; so I give up, and I went to the bureau and fished up another shirt, and put it onto the baby, and at last we were ready for a start.” “ Father harnessed up the double team —we drove the old white mare then, and the gals and all was having a good time, going to see Mary Ann married; but Bomehow I eould'nt git over that shirt 1 — ’Twant the shirt so much, but to have any thing spirited away right from under my face and eyes so, ’twas provoking.” “ What ye thinking about, mother V’ says Sophrony, “what makes ye look so sobersays she. “ I’m pestered to death, thinking about that are shirt. One of you must have took it, I am sartain,” says I. “ Now, ma,” says Sophrony, says she, you need’nt say that,” says she, and as I,d laid onto her a good many times, she was beginning to get vexed, and so we had it back and forth, and all about that' baby’s shirt, till we got to the wedding. “ Seeing oompany kinder put it out of my mind, and I was getting good natured again, though I could not help saying to myself every-few minutes, “what could a beoome of that shirt V’ till at last they stood up to be married, and I forgot all about it. Mary Ann was a real modest creature, and was mor’n half frightened to death, when she came into the room with Stephen and the minister told them to jine hands. She fust give her left hand to Stephen. “Your other hand,” says the minister, says he, and poor Steve, he was so bashful too, he did’nt know what he was about;. he thought ’twas his mistake, and that the minister meant him, so he gave Mary Ann his left hand. That would’nt do any way, a left handed mar riage all around; but by this time they did’nt know what they was about, and Mary Ann joined her right hand to his left, then her left with his right, then both their left hands again, till I was all of a fidgit, and thought they would never get fixed. Mary Ann looked as red as a tur key, and to make matters worse, she began to Cough to turn it off I suppose and called for a glass of water. The minister had just been drinking and the tumbler stood right there, and I was so nerveous, and in such a hurry to see it all over with, I ketched up the tumbler, and run with it to her, for I thought to goodness she was go ing to faint. She undertook to drink— I dont know how it happened but the tum bler slopped, and gracious me if between us both we did’nt spill the water all over her collar and dress. “ I war dredfully flustered, for it looked as though ’twas my fault, and the fust thing I did was to out with my handker chief, and give it to Mary Ann; it was nicely done up, she took it and shook it, the folks had held in putty well up to this time, but then such a giggle and as there was. 1 did’nt know what had given them such a start till I looked and seen that I'd give Mary .Inn that baby’s shirt ?” Here Mrs. Jones, who is a very fleshy woman, undulated and shook like a mighty jelly, with her mirth, and it was some time before she could proceed with her narra tive. “ Why” said she with tears of laughter running down her cheeks, “Pd tucked it into my dress for a ’kerchief. That came from being absent minded and in a fidgit.” “ And Mary Ann and Stephen—were they married after all 1” “Dear me, yes,” said Mrs.. Jones, “and it turned out to be the gayest wedding that I ever ’tended.” * “ And the baby’s shirt, Mrs. Jones V’ “La, me,” said Mrs. Jones, “how young folks do ask questions. Every body agreed 1 ought to make Mary Ann a present on’t.” “ Well, Mrs. Jones V’ “ Well,” said Mrs. Jones, “ twan’tlong ’fore she had use for it. And that’s the end of the story.” DREADFUL SUFFERING IN NE BRASKA. The Cleveland Plaindealer, contains the following letter concerning the sufferings of a respectable gentleman, formerly a citizen of Cleveland : > Nebraska City, Dec. 26, 1856, Mr. A. A. Betts—Dear Sir— * * * The circumstances are these : They start ed on the first of the month for Salt Creek, distance some forty-five miles, and on the second we had a heavy snow st&rm, accom panied by a heavy wind, which drifted the snow into the ravines so that it was almost impossible for a person to travel. On Monday night they built a cabin and made a lire, and at that time they were out some thirty-five miles. They staid in the cabin all that day,'Tuesday aud Tuesday night, and it turned very cold and on Wednesday they started for home, 'and they got on the wrong road ; but according to their esti mate they came some ten miles and built a fire ; but the wind was so changea ble they could not stay by it, and they laid all night in the snow and frosted their feet. In the morning they started again, and the snow was so packed that when they stepped on it they would break through, and were obliged to crawl on their hands and knees more than half the time, and on Thursday, in this way they come some eight or ten miles, and here they came to a vacated olaim house, (we here call them cabins,) and in it found a mattrass, sheet and buffalo robe and stove. During the day, in crossing a stream of water, father fell in and got their matches wet, and they could not make a fire, and in the cabin the snow was about a foot deep, which blowed in at the roof. But they shook the snow off' the bed and got in and stayed all night, and through the day and night they froze their feet and hands very bad. In the morning they, commenced cutting their boots off', and it took them four hours to get them off, and in the operation they froze their hands, as they said, like sticks, and their feet at that time were frozen through. They cut up a blanket and wrapped around their feet.— They stayed in this cabin all day Friday and Friday sight, and that night was the coldest we have had here. The thermome ter stood at 20 degrees below zero, apd they got chilled through. On Friday night when they lay down they expected to die before morning. In the morning, still finding themselves alive, they conclu ded to make another start, and they orawl ed about a half mile, gave out, and went back and laid down to die, and about 4 o’olock, P. M., Saturday, a man out hunt ing, in going by, heard a noise, went in, and found them in this horrid situation. Hfe went home, some two and a half miles, made a stone boat sled, and got them in after’Dight. They were completly helpless. They kept their hands and feet in cold water five hours, and then dressed them with elm bark poultices, and on Sunday brought them some five miles, and on Mon day brought them here. I employed two doctors to attend them, and on Thursday I employed the third as a nurse ; but all for no good to poor Jackson. On that night, the 11th inst., he breathed his last. If he had got over it he would have lost both feet and hands, but it was impossible for him to recover, as he was chilled through. Father’s fingers have all drop ped off, and his thumbs to the first joint from the end. On his left foot all his toes, and on his right foot both his heel and his toes came off. On Monday last we had it amputated two inches above the ancle joint. ***** It may make your blood run cold to read these lines, but you cannot guess how much father has suffered.

The orator speaks to a few hundreds or thousands—the newspaper addresses its million of millions. The words of the orator may die upon the air— the language of the newspaper is stamped upon tables as imperishable as marble.— The arguments of the orator may follow each other so rapidly that a majority of his hearers may be scanned at leisure, without a fear of perplexity. The passion of an orator inflames the whole assembly—the feelings of a newspaper sways the conti- ' nent. The orator is for an edifice—the newspaper for the world; the one shines for an hour—the other for all time. The orator may be compared to lightning, which flashes over a valley for a moment only leaving it again in darkness—the newspaper to a sun blazing over a whole earth, “and fixing on the basis of its own eternity.” Printing has been happily de fined “the art which preserves all arts,” Printing makes the orator more than the orator. It catches up his dying words, and breathes'into them the breath of life. It is the speaking gallery through which the orator thunders forth in the ears of ages. It leans from the tomb over the oradle of the rising generation. ’ —BUCHANAN, HOW I FIRST,BECAME ACQUAIN- TEli Wft-H MY WIFE .Nearly a dozen years ago I was on my return to the old homestead, in the good State of Connecticut, having just comple ted my studies as a student of medioine. In company .with a goodly number of peo ple, I stopped for the night at a country inn, in the town of B , not being able to resume my journey until a late hour the nest day. Having been always' an admirer of the country I was not at all dissatisfied yvith the arrangement, and my pleasure was further enhanced by finding at the well-laid supper table, two ladies of surpassing beauty and loveliness; the younger of the two I thought the most be witching little creature in existence. The young ladies were accompanied by a young gentleman about my own age, with whom I could not.but feel exceeding ly annoyed. He not only engrossed all their attention, but, lucky dog that he was, seemed determined that no other person should participate in the amusement. An offer of some little delicacy by myself to the two ladies was met by an icy sort of politeness on his part, that effeotually chilled any further attempts at intimacy. I soon left the table, but did not drive the image of the lovely being I had just left from my mind. Something whispered me that we would become intimately acquain ted, but an accepted lover, and had I been possessed of all the wealth of Croesus, I would have unhesitatingly poured it all into her lap. In the excitement under which I was" then laboring, I thought a walkwould do me some good, but onopeatngTEedoorfor that purpose I foundHEe night as dark as Erebus, and being an entire stranger there was no knowing what mischief I might en counter, so I made up my mind to com promise the matter. by taking my candle ! and going to bed. I fancied I had heard for the last few moments a sort of light bustling going on near my bed, but it gave me no uneasiness until suddenly some one sprang into the bed, and clasping her arms about me, whispered, '‘Ugh! how dreadful aold.it is to be sure 1 I say, Julia, we shall > have to lie spoon fashion or else we shall jfreeze.” Here was an incident. What to say or how to act was a question not very easy answered. At last I mustered about cour age enough to ejaculate, “ Dear madam, here is some mistake, but I’ll—” The lady did not wait for me to say more, but with a sharp, quick soream, she sprang from the bed and bolted out of the apartment. I was wondering what it could mean when a servant brought a lamp into my room, picked up all the lady’s apparel she could find, and left the apartment. — You can well believe that my slumbers during the remainder of the night were far from quiet. In the morning, I knew not how it was, but I was vividly impressed with the idea that my noctural visitor was one of the two ladies who had supped with me the evening previous, but which, I could not oonjecture. I resolved, however, to as certain on the most favorable opportunity which might present itself, and satisfy my self, beyond a doubt. On taking my seat at the breakfast ta ble next morning, I placed myself opposite the ladies, and was resolving in my mind the incidents of the previous evening, when the younger of the two passed her plate and requested me to favor her with the preserves near me. “ Certainly ma’am,” said I, and as the thought sprang into my mind that she might be the lady in question, I added “will you take them ‘spooned fashion V ” Eraka! what an explosion. The lady’s face instantly assumed the hue of a crim son dahlia, while her companion seemed as cool and passionless as I could desire. I was satisfied she had kept her own council —scraped an acquaintance—fell in love, and when I reached home I had the pleas ure of presenting to the old folks my pleas ing and most estimable lady the present Mrs. Madox.
