THE DYING CHILD,
BY R. D. PITCHER.
Smooth down tho pillow gently, dearest wife,
And look your last upon his changing brow
Tho grasp of Death is on his little life ;
Our boy is ours but for a moment now.
So young, so fair, ’tis hard that he must go
Down to the silent tomb and be alone,
And we who watched his budding beauty grow,
Must mourn for all his infant graces gone.
’Tis past, the seal is sot no time can break ;
The eyelids close — dow cross his little hands,
The farewell kiss imprint upon his cheek ;
Our child has gone to join the angel bands.
As beautiful as brief his sojourn here,
Like some frail flower, blooming but to fade :
Oh.! may it blossom in a brighter sphere,
And angels guide him in bright robes arrayed,
Where blessed spirits are in peace conveyed
To that puro clime where sorrow is uuknown—
There may we meet with hi? departed shade,
When our short pilgrimage on earth is done,
And all the broken tics bo mingled into one.
TARING HIM AT HIS WORD.
A LESSON FOR LOVERS.
We heard a rich story, a day or two
since, (says the Detroit Advertiser,) told
by the victifn himself, which we think too
good to keep, and we therefore take the
liberty of laying it before our readers.—
We give it as near as may be, in our
frieDd’s words :
“ Speaking of this breach of promise
case,” said Smith, after some conversation
had been carried on by the company, in
regard to the Carne affairs—“ speaking of
this breach of promise case, reminds me
that i have a little experience in that mat
ter, myself. - I don’t mean to say that I
was ever situated as this fellow is, but I
have felt about as I think he would, and if
you would like to hear it, I will tell you
how it was.”
All having signified a wish to hear, he
proceeded :
“ Well, as near as I can remember, it
was fifteen years ago this winter, that I at
tended a dancing school in Detroit, with a
young lady then residing in tho city. I
had made up my mind some years before,
that I never would, get married ; but it was
such pleasant business I couldn’t find it
in my heart to let the girls alone altogeth
er, so I paid her tuition fee and attended
the class in her company every night.—
About the middle of the term, several of
the young people, ourselves included, were
talking in the ball-room on the subject of
matrimony, and I, of course, became inter
ested, as well as the others. On going
home that evening I told my companion
that I had determined to get married in the
spring and asked her advice in regard to
making a selection for a wife. She made
no reply for a moment, and I told her if
she didn’t know any body bettqr fitted for
me, I would like to have her think the
matter over, and tell me by the last school,
wbat she thought of marrying me herself.
I was joking all this time you must un
derstand, and had no more thought of mar
rying her than I had of marrying Queen
Vie. She promised to think of it, how
ever, and I returned to my boarding-house,
and gave the subject no farther thought,
until some weeks later—and as luck would
have it, on the last evening of school, the
subject was again brought up in conversa
tion, just as we were preparing to return
to our homes for the night. After leaving
the hall, we talked and chatted of differ
ent matters and on different subjects, till
we reaohed her residence. It was late,
and I did not enter the house, though she
strongly urged me to do so. I had bid her
good night, and was turning away, when 1
recollected the promise she had made me,
and I said:
“ you promised to let me know,
to-night, whether you would marry me
this spring. Have you made up your
mind ?”
“ Yes,” said she, “ I have been think
ing about it, but I guess I am too young.
If it wasn’t for that I would have no ob
jection.”
“ Well, good night, then,” said I. “ I
didn’t expect you would do it—but I am
bound to marry some one, and this spring
too.”
Before leaving "her I engaged to call
again the following evening. That night
I slept soundly, and the next morning had
forgotten all about the night’s adventures.
During the day I received an invitation to
attend a ball to be held that evening, a few
miles out of the city, aud l made my ar
rangements accordingly. Towards dusk
I remembered my agreement to see Helen,
and I thought I would run over for a mo
ment, and afterwards have time to attend
the ball.
Arrived at the house, I met the lady in
the doorway, and I thought for an instant
that she was “ rigged up ” in an extra
style, which I was at a loss to account for,
though I believe I concluded she had com
pany ; I was therefore in ' hopes that I
should not be detained long. Helen wel
comed me into the parlor with a sweet
smile, and took her place beside me on the
sofa. I was expecting every moment
to see some stranger enter the room, and
I had not yet made up my mind that we
were alone when she said—“ Henry I have
made up my mind to have you!”
-bad a thunder-clap struck mo I could
nby have been more surprised, and after
an instant of hesitation stammered out—
“ What did you say ?”
* “I have concluded to marry you.”
“ o—oh, you have ! Well, I suppose
it is all right—when'shall the event take
place ?”
“I thought, if it would suit you, that
you might drive round next Sunday, and
we will go to mother’s; at Dearboard, and
be married there.”
“Well,” said I, “ I’ll see if I can,” and
as soon as possible I took my leave.
“ I did’nt go to the ball that night; I
forgot about it, and sat oyer the stove till
morning, thinking of what a scrape I got
myself into. 1 even forgot to keep the fire
going, and almost froze in my seat. When
daylight began to peep in at the windows,
I had made up my mind what I should do.
I would go over and tell Helen that we
must be married immediately, or not at
all, and if she agreed to that, I saw no
other way but to submit to my fate.
When I entered the gate leading up to
her house, 1 heard her singing a lively
song, and my conscience almost smote me
for deceiving the poor girl as I had ; but I
summoned up courage to ring the bell, and
pulling up my collar snd throwing my head
back, I anxiously awaited an answer to my
summons. She soon came to the door, and
I was again shown into the parlor, and she
took her place beside me on the sofa, as
before.
“Helen,” I commenced, “I”
“ Well, what ?”
“I—, I—we must be marriod to-day, or
I—l do not think I shall get married at
all!”
It stuck in my throat as I said it, for I
knew I was telling a whapper—but imag
ine my surprise when she’ replied :
“ Well, just as you please, Henry. You
may drive your carriage around about 12
o’clock and I will be ready.”
I gave up 1 Precisely at 12 I drew up
before her door with my carriage, and be
fore night we were married.
Our friend added, after finishing the
story —
“ Young men, that wife has been worth
more than §lOO,OOO to me.
The Musician’s Marriage.
After having passed the summer in visit
ing the principal towns of Germany, the
celebrated pianist, Listz, arrived at Prague
in October, 1846.
The day after he came, his apartment
was entered by a stranger—an old man,
whose appearance indicated misery and
suffering. The great musician received
him with a cordiality which he would not,
perhaps, have shown to, a nobleman. En
couraged by his kindness, his visitor said :
“ I come to you, sir, as a brother. Excuse
me if I take this title, notwithstanding the
distance that divides us ; but formerly I
could boast some skill in playing on the
piano, and by giving instruction I gained
a comfortable livelihood. Now lam old,
feeble, burdened with a large family, and
destitute of pupils. I live at Nuremburg,
but I came to Prague to seek to recover
the remnant of a small property which be
longed to my ancestors. Although nom
inally successful, the expense of a long
litigati&n has more than swallowed up the
trifling sum I recovered. To-morrow I set
out for home —penniless. --
“ And you have come to me 1 You have
done well, and I thank you for this proof
of your esteem. To assist a brother pro
fessor is to me more than a duty—it is a
pleasure. 'Artists should have their purse
in common ; and if fortune neglects some
in order to treat others better than they
deserve, it only makes it more necessary to
preserve the equilibrium by fraternal
kindness. That’s my system; so don’t
speak of gratitude, for I feel that I only
discharge a debt.”
As he uttered these generous words,
Listz opened a drawer in his writing-ease,
and started when he saw that his usual
depository for his money contained but
three ducats. He summoned his servant.
“ Where is the money?” he asked.
“ There,-sir,” replied the man,.-pointing
to the open drawer.
“There! Why there’s scarcely any
thing !”
“ I know it, sir. If you please to re
member, I told you yesterday that the cash
was nearly exhausted.”
“ You see, my dear brother,” said Listz,
smiling, “ that for the moment I am no
richer than you ; but that does not trouble
me; I have credit, and I ean make money
start from the keys of my piano. How
ever, as you are in haste to leave Prague
and return home, you shall not be delayed
by my present want of funds.”
So saying, he opened another drawer,
and taking out a splendid medallion, gave
it to the old man. “There,” said he,
“ that will do.” It was a present made
me by the Emperor of Austria—his own
portrait set in diamonds. The painting is
nothing remarkable, but the stones are fine.
Take them and dispose of them, and what
ever they bring shall be yours.”
The old musician tried in vain to decline
so rich a gift. Listz would not hear of a
refusal, and the poor man at length with
drew, invoking the choicest blessings of
Heaven on bis generous benefactor. He
then repaired to the shop of the principal
jeweler in the city, iu order to sell the
diamonds. Seeing a miserably-dressed
man anxious to dispose of magnificent
jewels, with wfiose value he appeared un
acquainted, the master of the shop very
naturally suspected his honesty ; and while
appearing to examine the diamonds with
close attention, he whispered a few words
in the ear of one of his assistants. The
latter went out and speedily returned, ac
companied by several soldiers of police,
who arrested the unhappy artist, in spite
of his protestations of innocence.
“ You must first come to prison,” they
said ; “ afterwards you can give an expla
nation to the magistrate.” ■
The prisoner wrote a few lines to his
benefactor, imploring his assistance. Listz
hastened to the jeweler.
“ Sir,” said he, “ you have caused the
arrest of an innocent man. Come with
me immediately, and let us have him re
leased. He is the lawful owner of the
jewels in question, for I gave them to
him.”
“ But, sir,” asked the merchant, “ who
are you ?”
“ My name is Listz.”
“ I don’t know any rich men of that
name.”
“ That may be ; yet I am tolerably well
known.”
“ Are you aware, sir, that these diamonds
are worth six thousand florins 1”
“ So much the better for him on whom
I have bestowed them.”
“ But, in order to make such a present,
you must be very wealthy.”
“My actual fortune consists of three
ducats.”
“ Then y(ju are a magician ?”
“ By no means ; and yet, by just moving
my fingers, I can obtain as much money as
1 wish.”
“ You must be a magician !”
“ If you choose, I’ll disclose to you the
magic I employ.”
Listz had seen a piano in the parlor be
hind the shop. He openec it, and ran his
fingers over the keys; then, seized by
sudden inspiration, he improvised one of
those soul-touching symphonies peculiar to
himself.
As he sounded the first chord, a beauti
ful young girl entered the room. While
the melody continued she remained speech
less and immovable ; then, as the last note
died away, she cried, with irresistible en
thusiasm, “ Bravo, Listz! < tis wondrous !
“ THAT codntey is the host prosperous where labob commands the GBEATEST BEWABD.”—BUCHANAN.
LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1857.
“ Dost thon know him, then, my daugh
ter ?” asked the jeweler.
“ This is the first I have had the pleas
ure of seeing or hearing him,” replied she,
“ but I know that none living, save Listz;
could draw such sounds from the piano.”
Expressed with grace and modesty, by a
young person of remarkable beauty, this
admiration could not fail to be more than
flattering to the artist. However, after
making his best acknowledgements, Listz
withdrew, in order to deliver the prisoner,
and was accompanied by the jeweler.
Grieved at his mistake, the worthy mer
chant sought to repair it by inviting the
two musicians to supper. The honors of
the table were done by his amiable daugh
ter, who appeared no less touched at the
generosity of Listz than astonished at his
talent.
That night the musicians of the city
serenaded their illjlslnous brother. The
next day the nobles and most distinguished
inhabitants of Prague presented them
selves at his door. They entreated him to
give some concerts, leaving it to himself to
fix any sum he pleased as a remuneration.
Then the jeweler perceived that talent,
even in a pecuniary light, may be more
valuable than the most precious diamonds.
Listz continued to go to his house, and, to
the merchant’s great joy, he perceived that
his daughter was the cause of these visits.
He began to love tho company of the mu
sician, and the fair girl, his only child, cer
tainly did not hate it.
One morning the jeweler, coming to the
point with German frankness, to said Listz :
“ How do you like my daughter ?”
“ She is an angel!”
“ What do you think of marriage ?”
“ I think so well of it that I have the
greatest posible inclination to try it.”
“ What would you say to a fortune of
three million francs J’ 1
“ I would willingly accept it.”
“ Well, we understand each other. My
daughter please you, you please my daugh
ter. Her fortune is ready ;be my son-in
law.”
“ With all my heart.”
The marriage was celebrated the follow
ing week.
And this, according to the chronicles of
Prague, is a true account of the marriage
of the great apd good pianist, Listz.

WOMAN.
BY CHARLES F. EVANS
Woman is like the rose which buds and
blooms on the parterre of life. In the
cradle, when a sweet bud, the fragrance
of affection fills the atmosphere around and
about her. When the prattle of infancy is
heard from her lips, and her smiles irradi
ate the eyes of paternal affection, the frag
rance increases. As the bud developes
its beauties to the eye, and the knit limbs
allow her to fly about the domestic circle,
the joy of her parents is ecstatic. Then
follows the development of heart—linking
the bud to the bosom whence dwell mater
nal affection. Mind quickly developes its
native energies,'and the heavenly spark
which animates the mortal frame now adds
new charms to the cherished object bf af
fection. The tide of life flows on, and in
its spring, new beauties cluster around the
loved one, and in a few summers more she
is seen at the altar, pledging her affection
to one whose manly worth has won her
pure and guileless heart. The early hearth
is left but not forsaken, for maternal love
has matured her affection, not simply for
the poor returns which an earthly bower
yields for anxious eare. Her heart is im
bued with nature, which refuses to live
without that pure atmosphere which so far
has warmed her being, and caused her la
tent beauties to expand and attract the
admiration of the manly youth, who claims
her for his bride. Her wealth is a guile
less and confiding heart, and the gentle
current, along whose unruffled banks she
has hitherto culled the sweetest flowers,
glides still by her feet without a murmur.
Her happiness is complete, for religious
faith illumes the present and gilds tho fu
ture, while memory reviews the past with
out a pang from duties neglected or affec
tions not acknowledged. Youth and beau
ty attend her steps —all her days are
pleasant, while peaceful contentment makes
her heart exult, as Hope in the vista beck
ons her on to joys in scenes yet to be re
alized. But such happiness, like all
things which partake of death, is subject
to the stroke of death. The destroyer of
man’s happiness respects not the young,
the beautiful, nor the gifted. Too often
in this world they seem, like the flowers of
Nature, which delight the eye, to be sub
ject to the scythe of the Destroyer. If
the admiring eyes of Nature’s sweetest
flowers could shield from harm the full
blown rose, its leaves would never wither,
its fragrance never die. If friends could
detain the blooming matron in a sphere
where her virtues bloom but to perish, many
would live to have their old age irradiated
by the lustre of well-spent years. But death
must come. Beauty, it is true, belongs to
youth, but not to youth alone. The mat
ron who is the cynosure of the happy cir
cle, the charm which lures to domestic
the husband and the father, has
beauty too. ..-Her heart is the centre of
human affection—her smile the reward of
human hope.

Where he Lias been in successful practice for a number of
years, received his education at the best Medical College
In the United States, and had the experience and practice
in the different Hospitals for several years: a member of
the Analytical Medical Institute of New York, and late
Medical Surgeon of the U. S. Navy, now offers himself to
the public to attend any professional calls.
The purest medicines always on hand direct from the
best Laboratories of our country, and the Botanical Gar
dens of the world. No patent medicines prescribed or
recommended. Medicines used only which will not break
down the constitution, but will renovute the system from
all injuries it has sustained from mineral medicines.—
Chronic and difficult diseases must be treated upcn.analyt
ical principles; which is to kuow and ascertain what dis
ease is. Its nature and character require a knowledge of
the chemical constituent of every solid and fluid of the hu
man body—the changes those solids and fluids are capable
of undergoing. To know what medicines to employ to
cure diseases, requires a knowledge of the chemical con
stituents of all agents employed in medicines, and if we
are in possession of this knowledge, it is possible to cure
any disease—no matter of how long standing—and leave
the patient in a healthy and perfectly cured condition!
Dyspepsia, that distressing disease and fell destroyer of
health ami happiness, undermining the constitution, and
yearly carrying thousands to untimely graves, can most em
phatically be cured.
Rheumatism, in any form or condition, chronic or acute,
warranted curable; Epilepsy, or falling sickness, all chronic
and stubborn cases of Female Diseases radically removed ;
Salt Rheum, and every description of ulcerations; Piles
and Scrofulous Diseases, which have baffled all previous
medical skill, can be cured by ruy treatment, when the
constitution is not exhausted.
1 do say all diseases, (yes, Consumption) can be cured.
