And a very sly young lady At the parlor window sews; And I rather conclude, if you tried it, You'd find she'd fit into "them hose." She's only a half length picture, Fore-shortened below the breast; But the dry goods which dance on the tight rope Out yonder, make up the rest. So dream-like she seems—so gentle— You'd think her too good for earth; And I feel that a holier spirit Is banishing vulgar mirth, To its worldly home—by jingo ! What a Sourish that muslin throws, And how uncommonly taper Those stockings go off at the toes! 0 eyes! like the sky when bluest! 0 hair! like the night without star ! 0 muslin and hose I can't help it, You draw my thoughts over "Char." The lady alone is substantial— The clothes but a fancy ideal ; Yes, somehow or another—confound it ! I've mixed up the sham with the real 0 love! you're the same old sixpence, With the poet, the muff, or the brink; You go up with a rush like a rocket, But come down at last like a stick. And let love-thoughts be lofty or lowly, Platonic or flash, I opine, That they all, like yon dry goods and stockings, Belong to the very same line ! • From the London Family Herald SHE WOULDN'T BE ZEALOUS No, by Jove!' exclaimed Harry Vane, as he threw himself back in an easy chair and gracefully removed a fragrant Havana from his lips for the purpose of exhaling the clouds of the perfumed smoke ; no, by Jove !' he repeated, 6 I wouldn't marry a jealous woman if she was the riohest heir ess in the world. I tell you, Walter, it wouldn't do for my wife to be jealous.— This being eternally constant to any one little bundle of lace and divinity is an utter impossibility to a man of my constitution. 1 have a natural taste for variety, you see ; and the most I want of a wife is to keep house for me, and take care of things, and give me a little leisure to make myself agreeable Co womankind in general. When nothing more agreeable turns up, why of course then she can have the privilege of entertaining me, which, with the consola tion of knowing that her husband is the most accomplished lady killer in town, will, I take it, be ample compensation for all her services in my behalf. But you see if sbe were any way jealous she might not think It would be possible, I should think,' said Walter Everett that she might be in clined to disagree with you. I should think any woman who loved you would naturally object to such an arrangement.' Oh, pshaw, Everett !' exclaimed Harry; that proves you to be a novice. Don't you know that love in a female heart is made up of just two elements—vanity and self-sacri fice. Just give a woman a husband she is proud of and you—or, that is, you might not be able to—but a man of my accom plishments can coax her into anything under the sun. Wait till I marry—l'll show you how to unite all the freedom of a bachelor with all the privileges of a Bene diot.' Walter smiled, and puffed away at his cigar in silence. The two young men were clerks in a large mercantile establishment in the city. They occupied apartments in the same horse, and were generally on very close and intimate terms. Perhaps it may not be necessary to inform the reader that Harry was something of a ooxcomb, though he was by no means as immoral as might be inferred from his own account of him self. This Walter knew and he could therefore listen to his occasional strains of gasconade with the utmost serenity, even though perfectly aware at the time that the speaker entertained serious ideas oft finally bestowing the ineffable honor of his ! name and protection upon a certain little cousin of his own, Miss Susie Stanton.— That his confidence went so far as to lead him to conceal from the said young lady the sentiments so frequently expressed, we cannot vouch. Indeed, the writer rather has the idea that the two frequently talked over in private this unfortunate. failing of their mutual friend, and studied frequently to devise some method of reducing the proportions of Harry's organ of vanity. Nothing, however, very effectual was accomplished during the courtship, and in process of time Mr. Harry Vane entered the state of matrimony under the full con viction that his loving Susie possessed not one spark of jealousy, and that her over weening affection for him would lead her to accept with unfeigned gratitude and joy whatever attentions it might please him to bestow upon her, and to preserve a discreet silence in regard to whatever she might see in his outgoings or incomings that was peculiar or mysterious. To do Susie justice, she was not natur ally of a jealous disposition ; but besides her innate amiability in that respect, she had a little bit of that shy, womanly pride, which made her resolve that she wouldn't be jealous. No, indeed, she would not be pointed at'as a jealous wife, neither should Mr. Harry Vane have the pleasure of in sinuating that he managed his wife, that she was duly instructed and trained at home to look conveniently in the other direction whenever he choose to open the invincible battery of his fascinations upon any innocent and unsuspecting young fe male. No, no ; the little lady was too cute for that. It therefore happened that whenever at a ball or party Mr. Harry Vane made him self particularly agreeable to any lady, Mrs. Harry Vane alscr cultivated the same individual. If Mr. Harry Vane only danced with the young lady, or escorted her out to supper, Mrs. Harry Vane con tented herself with the most amiable in quiries after the said young lady's health, and gracious hopes that the family at home were quite well. If Mr. Vane danced twice or thrice with the young lady, Mrs. Vane straightway invited her to call, and intimated that she should very soon give herself the pleasure of visiting the young lady, and if matters went still further, and Mr. Harry Vane indulged in a little tete-a tete, or a flirtation, Mrs. Harry Vane im mediately fixed a day, and asked the young lady to tea. At home, too, if Mr. Harry Vane ex claimed with enthusiasm, By Jove, but that Miss West has a splendid figure !'— Mrs. V. replied with equal enthusiasm, She has indeed, and she danced admira bly.' Or if Harry remarked that Ara minta Waters was decidedly the hand somest woman at Mrs. Morgan's party,' Susie added, gently, that rumor said she was as amiable and accomplished as she was handsome and fascinating.' By this sly way of fighting fire with fire she had succeeded in extinguishing a half dozen glowing penchants in the bosom of her liege lord ; while, at the same time, the uniform sweetness and amiability of her own conduct could not fail to deapen the admiration and respect which Harry had possessed for her when he married her. So it went on for a year or two, and Susie found herself a mother. After that, things seemed to mend a little ; but baby's charms soon lost their power, and Susie's trial took another form. Her loving heart, which was constantly, though quietly, watchful of Harry's lightest movement, was wouded at its most sensitive point. Harry fre quently left home without inviting her to accompany him, or even informing her of his destination. Much as her 3anxious fears were startled by this new s Jidow upon her domestic peace, Susie had the discretion to say nothing, but meanwhile to double her assiduity in winnitul him to home pleasures. All her efforts, however, availed her little; at last one evening in the week he continued to spend away from her. At first she was afraid he might be entering upon some course of dissipation, but careful observation soon convinced her that whatever sin might be laid to his charge, the love of liquor was not one ; and as drinking forms an ingredient of nearly all forms of dissipation, she finally came to the conclusion that, as of old, his wandering, inconsistent heart was starving after some new light of female beauty.— It is possible that at this juncture she may have taken her cousin Walter into confi dence. One beautiful morning in July, Harry seemed in no hurry to go to town. He lingered reading his newspaper after break fast till nearly nine o'clock, and then dressing himself carefully in his hand somest suit, carelessly bade his wife good morning, and strolled leisurely up the road instead of going down it, to his place of business. The quick perception of his wife had noticed a strange quietude in his manner all the morning, and she smiled a quiet smile to herself, as she stood before the mirror in her own room, arraying her self in her most becoming walking costume; for Mrs. Harry Vane was going out, too. The fitted a dainty pair of boots to her pretty foot, and tightened the fastenings of her sweetest pair of kid gloves, put on her most bewitching bonnet, and then took the last glance in the mirror to assure herself that there wasn't a sweeter or more capti vating little woman than Mrs. Harry Vane, He has good taste, at any rate,' she so liloquized, and that is one consolation.' But the little half sigh which closed the sentence intimated that it wasn't so very consoling after all. After her own toiletPwas completed, ba by was dressed in his richest and most spotless robes, and Mary was entrusted with the precious charge, and bid to fol low her mistress. Down the road tripped the little lady, taking the shortest way to the river side. There lay the steamer, with flags flying and whistle blow ing, just ready to convey a party of happy excursionists down the river. Mrs. Harry Vane tripped lightly over the peer, follow ed by Mary and baby, and the next moment the gallant steamer with its holiday com pany was fairly under way. Mrs. Vane walked leisurely to the fore part of the vessel, and there, apparently very much to her surprise, discovered Mr. V. sitting in most attentive proximity to a handsome and showy young lady, who was evidently quite the slave of Mr. Vane's faso ns tions. Why, good morning Harry !' exclaimed Mrs. Vane, in her sweetest and most cor dial tones : this is, indeed, a delightful surprise. I had not anticipated your com pany. After you left home I happened to notice the advertisement of the excursion, and baby seemed so ailing lately, that I thought it might do him good to take an excursion ; so I dressed myself as quickly jas possible and hurried down here.' • What could Mr. Harry Vane say in re , ply to this most amiable wife-like greet ing ? Mrs. Vane was not at a loss, how ever, to fill up the pause which his hesita tion occasioned. g That lady is a friend of yours, I presume—introduce me to her, Harry, said she turning to the lady. Vane's circle of friends previous to our marriage was so very extensive, that I have not even yet made the acquaintance of all them. 1 hope, however, to know them all in the course of time, for nothing gives me more pleas ure than to entertain Harry's friends.— Your name is ? I did'nt quite understand.' Miss Wentworth,' replied the lady, bowing stiffly. Ah ! yes, Miss Wentworth,' said Mrs. Vane, complaomtly. Ido not recollect of hearing Harry speak of you; but it is all the same ; my memory is very treach erous; and indeed he might have men tioned your name, casually, you know, a dozen times, and still I might have for gotten it. But bless me where is the baby/ Mary come here.' Mary answered the oall, and placed the blue eyed little wonder in the arms of its delighted mamma. Mamma's precious little darling ! W Eta it warm?—so it was. Mamma will take off its hat—so she will. There—does it see its papa ?—there, so it does, and knows him, too—precious angel! See'! Miss Wentworth, see how well the little darling knows its father, and it isn't four months old yet.' And Mrs. Vane danced the chubby red faced little thing up and down in Mr: Vane's face and asked, enthu siastically, ' Didn't Miss Wentworth think he was just the image of his 'pa ?' There were several of Harry's acquain tances on board, by whom the affair was thoroughly understood ; and it was not long until the story passed from lip to lip, "THAT comirmy IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR OOKKANDS THE GREATEST .REWARD."—BuoRANAR LANCASTER CITY, PA.. TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1858. and smiles and titters and jokes at poor Harry's expense circulated in every direc tion. He excused himself as speedily as possible from the society of the ladies, and walked moodily to the other end of the boat, and there stood contemplating what he should do to extricate himself from this dilemma. What the deuce am I to do ? he solil oquized. To blow out at her, would only raise a row and circulate the story ; and I can't get rid of her, for the boat won't put back, I suppose, on my account. Gad! if the water wasn't so hot, I'd drown myself. To bring that red faced little imp with her, too! It is a pretty child enough, though ; of course it couldn't be anything else, and be my child ; she - looks deuced pretty her self, too, to-day. She's a vast deal pret tier than Madge Wentworth ever was—the baggage ! If I ever get safe out of this strape, catch me risking my reputation for another bold flirt like her 1' Meanwhile Miss Wentworth, who pos sessed a deal of womanly tact in her way, had overcome in a measure the embarrass ment of her first meeting with Mrs. Vane, and had entered very affably into conver sation with her. The baby, as if determined to do its part, was as sweet tempered as its mamma, and cooed and laughed to the infinite delight of Miss Wentworth, who was, or pretended to be, exceedingly fond of pets. Mrs. Vane's amiability was per fectly irresistible, and when Mr. Vane re turned he found the two ladies on the best possible terms. When dinner was announced, Mrs. Vane called Mary to take the baby, and rising, exclaimed, Mr. Vane, give your arm to Miss Wentworth,' at the same time appro priating the other to her own use, and we will hurry into dinner. The stiff breeze gives one such an appetite ! At dinner, Mrs. Vane's first attentions were given to Miss Wentworth, and the least failure upon the part of Mr. Vane (who, to tell the truth, was a little absent minded) to observe the wants of that young lady, was reprimanded by Mrs. Vane My dear, Miss Wentworth will take some more fowl,' said Mrs. Vane. 'Harry, dear, help Miss Wentworth to some of those delicious peas. Miss Wentworth, allow me to assist you to some of this sauce ; I assure you it is delicious.' After dinner, the two ladies, with the baby, retired to the ladies' cabin, and Harry enjoyed an hour's immunity from the society of either. He retired aft to enjoy (!) his Havana. Let us hope that its fragrance served, in some measure, to calm his troubled mind. It was nearly dark when the excursion ists returned, and Harry called a cab for the ladies, and directed the driver to drive to his own residence. Harry, my dear, how can you be so impolite ?' said Mrs. Vane. We must see Miss Wentworth home first by all meins. She has been complaining of fa tigue for the last two hours, and I must protest agai .st her being driven a mile or two out of her way upon my account.' Harry was obliged to acquiesce, and Mrs. Vane had the satisfaction of leaving Miss Wentworth at her own door, and bid ding her a most affectionate farewell, with the hope that she had enjoyed the day, and would experience no inconvenience from the fatigue it had occasioned her. Ten minutes later, Harry Vane was stretching his weary limbs upon a sofa in his own quiet parlor. Mrs. Vane bustled about and prepared a most delicious tea for her loving lord. At first his vexation betrayed him into a few unamiable remarks; but the real tenderness of Susie's manner, as she handed him the smoking cup of Souchong upon the lounge, and soothed and petted away the headache which op pressed him, silenced his irritability, and won him back to good humor. That was the last of Harry Vane's wan derings. The name of Miss Wentworth was never mentioned in his house ; and, save his penitent confession, (made that night with his weary head lying upon her bosom, Susie, I have wronged you ; will you forgive me ?' to which her only an swer was the kiss of peace and trust, and a glance more eloquent than any speech,) there was no allusion to his faults. Susie is gray-haired no*, and her failing strength is supported by the tenderness of her grand-daughters; and it may be that to them she sometimes repeats the story of the WOMAN WHO WOULDN'T BE JEAL OUS.' LOOK OUT FOR BOGUS CABLE CHARMS.—The New York papers inform the public that the excitement which the successful laying of the Atlantic Cable has occasioned has created a now set of impostors, mock sailors, who pre tend to belong to the Niagara, and who invade offices, saloons and bar-rooms with grossly bad imitations of the Atlantic Telegraphic Cable, five or six inches in length, which they offer for sale at prices varying from fifty cents to a dollar. It is probable that these sharpers will extend the circuit of their operations, and our citizens should be on their guard. The New York Express says " Nearly every jewelry store of note has offered cable charms and hits for sale in a variety of forms. We have cable rulers, jew elry, watch keys, canes, amulets and rings.— The twisted wires are put up iu almost every imaginable shape, and are sold at all prices, from ten cents to as many dollars. Tiffany's fatuous establishment in Broadway is crowd ed all day and evening by anxious cable pur chasers, who stand in long queuea like people at a post office window, and eagerly pay their dollar and register their names, so as to Le served with genuine cable in regular turn.— Over three hundred wholesale dealers, many of whdm were from the country, registered their orders on Thursday, and, in a few days, will flood the whole country with certified genuine cable. The letter of Mr. Field to Tiffany & Co., stating that they only have the real, Simon pure, original cable from the Ni - agara, rather astonished some jewellers, who imagined that they had bought a good supply of the real article." THREE CHILDREN PICKED UP IN LAKE ERIE. • —The Windsor Herald gives the following particulars of the finding of three children floating in Lake Erie, on Thursday last: Mr. Owen was crossing from Sandusky to Kings ville in a small schooner, when, about eiuht miles from one of the small islands, he feein with a small boat containing three children, the eldest about 11 or 12, a girl, the others much smaller. The boat was full of water, drifting before the wind, and they were up to their necks in water. From-the oldest, Mr. Owen learned their names and where they belonged, and kindly took them home. From the father he learned that they had been in the water from BA. M., to 5 P. M. They had been seen in the boat in the morning, shortly after which they were missing. The father started in pursuit, bat failing to find them, returned to the island.. THE OLD PRINTER. BY C. W. m'curft.E A Printer stood at his case one night, In his office dark and drear, And his weary sight was dim as the light Of the mouldy lamp hung near. The wintry winds were bowling without, And the snow falling thick and fast, But the Printer, I trow, shook his locks of snow, And laughed at the shrieking blast; He watched the hands of the clock creep round, Keeping time with its snail-like tick, As he gathered the type, with a weary click, In his old rust-eaten stick. His hairs were as white as the falling snow, And silently, day by day, He beheld them with grief, like the autumn leaf, One by one, "passing away " Time had cut with his plow furrows deep in his brow, His cheek was fevered and thin, And hie long Roman nose could almost repose Its head on his gray-bearded chin; And with fingers long, as the hours stole on, Keeping time with the clock's dull tick, He gathered the type, with a weary click, In the old rust-eaten st:ck. For many long years, through joys and thro' tears, That old Printer's time battered /ace, So ghostly and lean, night and morn had been seen, Earnestly bent o'er his case. In a few years more Death will lock up his form, And put it to press in the mould, And a stone o'er the spot where they lay him to rot, Will tell us his name, and how old; And his oomrades will light that old lamp by his case, And list to the clook's dull tick, As they set up his death, with a solemn click, In hie old rust eaten stick. HOME WITHOUT A MOTHER. ( Mother, mother, mother!' sobbed a sweet voice, in agonizing tones. It was dark and cold in the low, dismal attic; but close pressed to the frosted windows lay the face of Sammy Hantz. His soft hair hung over his tearful face, and his thin hands clasped the rough window sill, and his whole frame shook as the keen blast found its way through the crevices around the stone chimney. It was a sound you never would forget—those half-sobbed, half-moaned words—' Mother, mother, mother !' You would have felt that little heart was ready to burst with its unutter able weight of sorrow, and that grief might be the companion of childhood, us well as old age. Below stairs the fire leapt and sparkled, and crept gaily over the logs in the fire place ; for you may find fireplaces in In glenook even now. Everything was in order, and Mrs. Hantz, the step-mother of Sammy, was sitting pla cidly before the fire smoothing the folds of her clean apron, and in a self-satisfied man ner stroking a tabby cat which lay in her lap. Her three children were sitting cozily in little chairs by the fireside, and Mr. Hantz was talking with a brother who had just arrived to spend Thanksgiving with them. The Man of Many Trades. About fifteen years ago, when game was .bundant in Delaware, large parties of : sportsmen came down from the North and I waged war' with unsuspecting feathered tribes. Among tho number of those who were induced to exchange their cheerful , homes for the more delightful prospect of roamin , b over a rocky and uneven country were three individuals, gamed respectively Doctor Pearce, Bill Fisher, and Sam Willson. After coasting about' for days, and not being sufficiently rewarded for their trouble, they were rather disheartened, and which added more to their dejection, Fisher had a violent toothache. The doe- ! tor, out of consideration for Bill's suffer ings, suggested that they should go in quest of a tavern. Some two hours' hard riding brought them in sight of a singular looking building, in front of which projected one of those old fashioned well poles. As they neared the house, a con-' fused hum of voices saluted their ears. Thunder,' said the doctor, this place ' is not a tavern, it's a school-house.' Suppose we inquire,' suggested Sam ! Willson. On em ering a room, near the front door, Willson's idea that the party ; had got into a country inn, was confirmed. On a shelf, behind a small counter, stood some six tumblers, upon the tops of which were about the same number of lemons, by way of decoration. Hardly had our thirsty friend. got seated, when a side door opened, and a tall, red-faced, long-nosed j individual, with an immense quill stuck behind his ear, stepped into the room. The doctor remarked we are looking for a tavern,, but from the noise, I should think that we have got into a school-house.' 1 , Sir,' replied he of the quill, with much The morrow was Thanksgiving, and from gravity, you are in a school-house ; never early morn had Mrs. Hantz been busy pre- theless, I can accommodate the gentlemen paring for the great dinner of the coming with a snifter' all round."

Accord- The wind blew fiercely without, and once, when an unusual tempest seemed to shake the foundation of the house, the father turned suddenly to his wife and said : Where is Sammy V Gone to bed,' said she tartly. What made him go so ea - Ay V asked Mr. Hantz. And in a tone which preclu ded further inquiry, his wife answered : 6 Because he was too lazy to sit up, I suppose.' For a few moments Mr. Hantz looked of vacantly into a corner of the room, and then offering a pipe to his brother, seemed to forget that little Sammy had been men tioned. Eight years before Mr. Hantz had been sitting by the same fireside with his first wife, gentle Sarah Lee. Sammy was upon his father's lap, and Sarah, with her head upon her husband's shoulder, was talking of what they would do when Sammy would be old enough to have a Thanksgiving of his own. Perhaps Mr. Hantz's memory was bringing out those old pictures in a fresh light ' • and he may have paused to wonder if he had charged since that wife of his first choice and purest love sat be fore him. However it was, no one knew. Men are often ashamed of their best and noblest thoughts, and hide them for fear they may be called unmanly. Whether the old adage may be true or not, that a mother is the same all the days of her life, but a father changes when he gets a new wife,' we do not pretend to say ; but it was a fact that the second Mrs. Hantz and her children, were apparently first in the thoughts and affections of Mr. Hantz. great holiday of the year was that upon which he could get away from the sound of his mother's voice, and the fear of her hand —when he could leave the chill fireside at home, where he always sat behind the new family group, and would climb on the lap of old Mr. Lee, and with his soft curls lying close to the white hair of the old man, listen to the stories told of his mother, and then have a nice supper upon the round table, drawn close to the fire. This year he had anxiously waited for the dry leaves to drift through the woods in October, and for the first November snow to come, be cause at Thanksgiving he should visit his grandfather. And the day before has at last come.— He was up gefore the stars were out of sight,and had a blazing fire upon the hearth; the tea kettle boiling, and the potatoes in.' All day long his little feet had pat tered here and there—to the barn, to the well, down cellar, up stairs, in the pantry, and through the kitchen. There surely never was a housewife who needed more waiting upon than Mrs. Hantz and Sammy did it all. His fingers smarted with cold, when he picked up great baskets of chips ; his back ached when he lugged in armful after armful of great hard-wood sticks for the kitchen and 'spare room' fire-place ; his hungry stomach craved a piece of the smoking pies, which he had to drag from the brick oven ; and he longed for one doughnut' from the heaping panful he had to oatry away.— His little feet and ale arm were very tired ; but he never complain a word and to all his mother's provoking taunts, and needless fault-finding, he was silent ; but when all was done—and it was nine o'clock —he could not help asking her if he was to go to his grandfather's to-morrow ; and when he heard her say, No ! I vent you at home,' he could hardly totter up-stairs. When there be dropped into an old chair, and moaned, 'oh, so sadly ! Mother, mother, mother !' How many childish hearts moan mother, mother!! How many ache and break for want of a mother's love ! All over the world poor orphaned children send up a wail for mother! Love and Heaven! Bitter indeed is the cry; but does not God hear it, and shall he not justly reward the oppressors, of little children Thanksgiving morning dawned clear and 'brightly upon Inglenook; but Mrs. Hantz waited on herself' that day, for after call ing for the poor boy many times, she went up stairs and found him still sitting, white and chill, by the window, with tears frozen upon his cheeks and his soft hair woven with the frost work on the glass. Little Sa.mm had gone to hold his Thanksgiving with the angels. ingly our indignant party of sportsmen were getting into their wagon, when the school -master, tavern-keeper, member of the Legislature, and dentist, bawled out forgot to mention the people of the county have nominated me for Sheriff.' THE GOLD EXCITEMNT IN THE INDIAN TERRl- TORY.—Leavenworth despatches of the 25th ult., received per U. S. Express to Booneville on Monday last, state that considerable excite ment prevails in Lawrence and Kansas City in consequence of recent arrivals from the gold region of Pike's Peak, confirming the existence of gold in abundance in that locality. A company that started from Lawrence, in lowa, had met with good success. The gold found is similar to that of Frazer River, in California. Mr. Richards, who arrived al Kansas City on the 28th ult., reports that with very limited prospecting, satisfactory results were obtained. Two men, with inferior implements, washed out six hundred dollars worth of gold in a single week, at a small stream fifty miles from Pike's Peak. A second Frazer River excitement is apprehended. GRAPE CULTURE.-It is expected that at least 350,000 gallons of wine will be made from the native grapes in California, this year. But what is noteworthy is the fact that the grape chiefly grown in California fur making wine is of Spanish stock, and was introduced by the priests when they established their missions, between the years 1769 and 1780. The vine is hardy and healthy, and the berry juicy and strung. An acre of vines is calcu lated to yield 1000 gallons of wine, arid never less than 800, although 400 is considered an average yield in Ohio and Europe. SWAMP FEVER.—The Natchez Courier says: —" We hear of innumerable cases of swamp fever among both whites and blacks in the parishes opposite us in Lousiana, and in the low lands of this State, occasioned by the fall ing waters. Not a fsw of these cases are brought on this side of the river, and from the peculiar appearance of a person having the swamp fever, the skin being more or less yellow, some persons are apt to mistake such cases for yellow fever. We have heard a skilful physician pronounce swamp fever nothing more ur less than chronic yellow fever."

At one mile, the body of an ordinary sized tree would not he missed once in fifty times, so exact are its line shots. Mr. Sawyer superintends the firing in person, and, in seventeen shots, at a distance of one mile the farthest was not over three feet from the centre. This is the closest shooting with cannon known. The cannon is grooved like a rifle. The ball is shaped like the Minnie rifle ball, and is filled with powder, which explodes after striking and entering an object.
