THE OLD TURNPIKE.
We hear no more of the clinking hoof,
And the stage-coach rattling by;
For the steam king rules the traveling world,
And the old pike’s left to die.
The grass oreeps o’er the flinty path,
And the stealthy daisies steal
Where once the stage horse, day by day,
Lifted hiß iron heel.
No more tho weary stager dreads
The toll of coming morn;
No more the bustling landlord runs
At the sound of the echoing horn.
For the dust lies still upon the road,
And the bright-eyed children play
Where once the clattering hoof and wheel
Rattled along B the,way.
No more do we hear the cracking whip,
Or the strong wheel’s rumbling sound;
And ho! the water drives us on,
And an iron horse is found!
The coach stands rustling in*the yard,
And the horse has sought'the plow,
We have spanned the world with an iron roil,
And the steam king rules us now!
Tho old turnpike is a pike no more,
Wide open stands the gate;
We have made us a road for our horses to stride,
And we ride at a flying rate ;
We have filled the valley and leveled the hills,
And tunneled the mountain’s side,
And round the rough crag’s dizzy verge
Fearlessly now we ride.
Oh! on with a haughty front!
A puff, a shriek and a bound—
While the tardy echoes wake too late
To babble back the sound.
And the old pike road is left alone,
And the stagers seek the plow;
We have circled the world with an iron rail,
ADd the steam king rules us now.
For the Intelligencer.
FLOWERS.
J. REDMONDE CONYNQHAH.
Flowers, bright, beautiful flowers,
Filling with joy my saddest hours,
Chaining me here with mystical powers,
Flowers, bright flowers.
Daisies and violets joyfully springing,
Hare bells and lilly’s tiny bells ringing,
Roses sweet p.erfume over me flinging,
Flowers, bright flowers.
Over the old house Bilently creeping,
Over the small grave mournfully weeping,
Down by the little stream joyously leaping,
Flowers, bright flowers.
Emblems of beauty, emblems of sonow,
Tints of the rainbow ever they borrow,
Filling with joy each coming to-morrow,f
Flowers, bright flowers.
In the night-time some of them slumber,
In the bright morning bloom without number,
Chasing away despair’s gloomy slumber,
Flowers, bright flowers.
When the cold winds are sadly repeating
Stories of beauty transient and fleeting,
Then book to earth in sorrow retreating,
Go the bright, beautiful flowers.
So when my hopes forever have perished,
Hopes that I loved, hopes that I cherished,
May I be laid iQ sorrow beside
The bright, beautiful flowers that died.

An Interesting Bridal Trip.
The train from Grafton, due here at 11.40
A. M., under the management of that
gentlemanly, amiable, popular and efficient
conductor, Captain Scott, a few days since
stopped at one of the way stations, to take
on a newly married pair. Both were
young, and were verdant; having been
raised in the wilds of Western Virginia,
neither of them had ever been fifty miles
away from home. They had heard of
railways, locomotives, steamboats and
hotels, but had never experienced the
comforts of any of the afore-mentioned
institutions. Jeems and Lize had deter
mined on this, the most important event
in their lives, to visit the city and see the
world, particularly that portion of it known
as Parkersburg. No wonder that they
were amazed and delighted when the loco
motive, Bteaming and snorting, with the
train of beautiful crimson oars following
it came in sight.
‘ These your trunks,’ said the baggage
master.
‘ Well, I sorter calkilate them’s ’em,’
Jeemes.
The trunks (a spotted hair trunk and a
very old-fashioned valise) were soon in the
baggage-car, followed by Lize and Jeems.
‘ I’ll be darned ef railroads aint a fine
thing,’ said Jeems, seating himself on his
luggage and carefully holding up the tails
of his tight-bodied blue, adorned with re
splendent metal buttons, out of the dust.
‘ Lize set here by me.’
‘ Come out of that,’ said the baggage
man ; 1 you are'in the wrong car.’
‘ The h—ll am! D’ye ’spose I don’t
know what I’m ’bout 1 These is my traps,
and I calkilate to Btay where they are.—
Keep quiet, Lize ; they say we’ve got to
fight our way through the world anyhow,
and if that chap with the cap on wants
anything, why, I’m his man. Don’t want
any of yer foolin’ ’round me !’
Here the Captain interposed and ex
plained matters, insomuch that Jeems
consented to leave his traps and follow the
Captain. What was his delight when he
surveyed the magnificence of the first
class passenger oar, into which he was
ushered. His imagination had never, in
its wildest flights, pictured anything half so
gorgeous. He was aroused from the con
templation of the splendor around him,
by the shriek of the iron horse.
‘ Jee whillikens, what in the thunder’s
that?’ exclaimed Jeems.
‘ That’s the horse squealing when they
punch him in the ribs with a pitqjifork to
make him go along,’ said a sleepy looking
individual, just behind him. ‘
* Look here, stranger,’ said Jeems, ‘ I
’low you think I am a domed fool; may
be I am, but there’s some things I know,
and one of ’em is, you’ll get your mouth
broke, ef you don’t keep it shet. I don’t
say much—just at this moment they fonnd
themselves in Egyptian darkness, and
then was heard a scream, almost equal to
that of the engine from Lize, as she threw
•her arms around the neck of J[eemes.
* I know it! I know it,’ exolaimed the
fileepy looking individual, ‘we’reall lost,
every mother’s son of ns. Ws oan just
prepare now to make the acquaintance of
the gentleman in blaok, who tends the big
fire below.’
‘ Oh, Lord! Jeems what will become
of us ? I felt skeery abont gettin’ on the
outlandish thing, at fast.’
‘ Keep quiet, Lize ! hollerin’ won’t do
any good now. Ef you know any prayer,
now’s your time to say it for both of ns.’
‘ What’s the matter here ? said the as
tonished conductor, coming up as the train
emerged once more into the light.
‘ That’s just what I’d like to know, said
Jeems when he saw that Lize and himself
were still alive.’ '
‘ We’ve just passed through Eaton’s
Tunnel,’ replied our polite Captain. ‘ How
far are you going V
‘Wall, reckon we’ll stop at J’arkers
burg.’ ”
‘ Show your ticket if you please.’
‘ Sertinly, Lize, you got some with you ?
Let this gent look at ’em.’
Lize drew a piece of white paper from
her reticule, and, with a smile, handed it
to our friend, the Captain, who reads :
********* * * *
THE PLEASURE OP YOUR COMPANY IS *
RESPECTFULLY SOLICITED.
* ********** *
‘ What’s this V said the Captain.
‘ Why, that’s one of the tiokets to our
weddin’, that’s what you asked for haint
it?’ asked the somewhat surprised Jeems.
1 Whaw ! haw ! haw ! haw ! haw !’ was
the discordant sound that arose from tho
seat of the sleepy looking individual.
A bland smile passed over the faoe of
the Captain as he explained his meaning
to our verdant friend. He had no ticket
but willingly paid his fare, and the train
sped on toward its destination. But
wonders did not cease here—presently ouj
pert newsboy, Billy, entered the car, and,
stepping up to Jeems, he asked—
< Have a ‘ Sun,’ sir V
‘ Wal, if I have my way about it, the
fust one will be a son sartin,’ said Jeems.
Lize blushed.
‘ Don’t count your chickens afore they’re
hatched!’ said Billy, as he hastened on
to the next car.
In due time the train stopped at the big
depot, in this oity. Amidst confusion of
strange noises, and of discordant
voices, our friends landed! en the platform.
‘ Buss, sah ? Buss, sah—free for the
United States V said the sable porter of
our uptown house. ‘ Lady, take a buss,
sah V
‘ Wal, I rather ’spose she won’t from
anybody but me—reckon I’m able to do
all in that line she wants, and more too.’
‘ Go to the Swan House, sah ? right
cross de street—best house in the city.—
This way, sah! any baggage ?—have it
sent to your room in a few minutes.’
In a short time Jeems and his bride
found themselves in one of those comforta
ble rooms on the second floor of that well
ordered establishment, the Swan House.
The baggage was sent up with the usual
promptness, and our friends were soon
making their toilet for dinner. Jeems had
his boots and coat off in a jiffy, and Lize’s
hair fell gracefully over her shoulders.
‘That’s a duced pretty —torsel /’ said
Jeems, eyeing the bell cord, ‘ wonder
what it’s fur V catching hold of it; ‘look,
it works up there on some sort of thing
umbob. I’d like to have that torsel to put
on my horse’s head on next muster day ;
see how it works,’ said he, giving it a pull.
Presently the door opened, and the
sable face of one of Afric’s sons- was
thrust into the room, with the inquiry of,
‘ Ring, sah V
‘ Ring! ring what ? you black ape! ef
you don’t quit looking at my wife and
make yourself scarce, I’ll wring yonr head
off.’
‘ Stop a minute,’ said Lize, ‘What’s the
the name of the man that keeps this
tavern V
‘ Mr. Conley, marm.’
‘Well, tell his lady that she needn’t go
to any extra fixins on our account, for
we’re plain people,’ said the amiable
bride.
‘As they used to say in our debatin’
society,’ interrupted Jeems, ‘l’ll amend
that motion, by sayin’ you oan tell ’em to
give us the best they’ve got. I’m able to
pay for it and don’t keer fur expenses.
‘Tee heel Tee heel’ was the only
audible reply from the sable gent, as he
hurried down stairs.
Dinner oame and was dispatched with a
relish. Jeems and his bride took a stroll
over the city, seeing the lions and other
sights until supper time, which being over
they retired to their room. The gas was
lit up by the servant, who received a
bright quarter for his services. Jeems
was the last in bed, and according to the
rule in such cases, had to put out the light,
which he did with a blast from his lungs.
The noise in the street had died away,
and quiet reigned in the Swan House.
The young man on the watch dosed in his
chair. The Clerk (rather corpulent) was
about to retire, when he .thought he smelt
gas. Some one came down stairs and said
he smelt gas. The guests (some of them)
woke up and smelt gas. Much against
his will, the Clerk proceeded to find where
the leak was. It seemed stronger in the
neighborhood of the room occupied by the
bride and groom. Clerk concluded to
knock at the door of their room.
‘ Who’s there,’ came from inside.
‘ Open the door, the gas is escaping.’
‘Gas! what gas ?’ said Jeems, opening
the door.
‘ Why, here in this room. How did you
put your light out V
‘ Blowed it out, of course.”
‘ You played h—l.’ Our amiable clerk
came very near saying a bad word, but
remembering that there was a lady in the
case, or rather in the bed, he checked his
rising temper, and having lit the gas, pro
ceeded to show Jeems the mystery of its
burning as follows :
‘ You see this little thing here ? well,
when you want to put it out, you give it a
turn this way; and when you want to
make it lighter you give it a turn this
way. Serious consequences might have
resulted if it had not been discovered.
Now be careful next time.’
‘ Much obliged. But how the devil did
I know the durned stuff was scaping?’
responded Jeems.
‘ Didn’t you smell it ?’ asked the Clerk.
‘ Pears to me I did smell,’ says Jeems.
! But Lize, I’ll be durned ef I didn’t think
it was you, kase I never slept with a
woman afore.’
‘Well, Jeems, I thought it was you
that smelt that way all the time. I was
jest wunderin ef aU men smelt that way.

LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 24, 1859.
It peared strange, bat then I didn’t know
nothing atyout it, ’ was the response of Lize,
as she turned over for a nap.
The red,in onr clerk’s face grew smil
ingly redder as it refleoted the light from
the bnming jet, and a roguish twinkle
larked in the corner of his eyes, as he
tnrned off the gas and all was dark, and
onr friends were left alone in their glory.-
A sonnd of suppressed mirth was heard
in the reading room for a few minutes, and
then all was still.

and that of the allies 15,000.
At Dresden, in Saxony, on the 26th
and 27th August, 1813, the allies were
defeated by the French. The loss of the
allies was about 25,000 in killed, wounded
and prisoners, and that of the Frenoh
about 12,000.
At Leipsio, in Saxony, in Ootober, 1813,
a desperate battle was fought, which lasted

Neither the Austrians nor Prussians can
derive much encouragement from history
to engage in war with France. The Frenoh
troops have only been matched in these
wars by the English, the Spaniards and
the Russians, scarcely by the last named.

Park Benjamin, Editor.
“A CbnxteHation is bat one,
Though ’tis a train of stars."—Drtdxn.
The subscriber has great pleasure in announcing that
he has made arrangements to Issue oa SATURDAY, JAN
UARY 1,1859. the largest, handsomest, «nrt most complete
Weekly Newspaper ever pnblUhed
It will be a superb Folio Sheet, double the size of the
New York LeAbrl containing Nine broad Columns On each
page, length, and double the quantity of read
ing matter given by any weekly paper now published—
embracing the choicest and freshest matter, selected and
original, furnished from abroad and at home* It will be
In all respects A Living Journal— containing, the produc
tions of the most popular writers in liberal quantity—
Romances, Btories, Essays, Poems, Anecdotes,
Editorials, Notices of Amusementß-and the Arts, Ac* Ac.—
in fine, all things which are new, beautiful, interesting,
and attractive. Each Number will contain not only a
carefully condensed synopsis of the General News daring
each week, bat all the very latest information and Tele
graphic Despatches up to the hoorof going to press.
‘'The Constellation” will not be an Illustrated Paper—as
the picture sheets are—but it wißcontain beautiful Designs
and Engravings, when they really illustrate and ornament
a subject.
The subscriber has already engaged a Corps of Contribu
tors, “a Train of Stars,” unequalled for genius, brilliancy,
and reputation, by those of any other journal now pub
lished, no matter what may be its pretensions. It is with
no slight gratification that h*announces his success in
engaging,, after much persuasion, the able and experienced
services of a gentleman, so long and so justly eminent, as
Mr. Park Benjamin. Connected for twenty years with the
Press of New York City, and always snccessfnl in hLsllter
ary enterprises, whether as Editor, Author, or Phblic
Speaker, the name of Mr. Benjamin is an angury of certain
good fortnne.
The public may rest assured that no means will be untried
by the subscriber to secure a grand and brilliant accom
plishment of his effort to establish the hugest and best
Weekly Paper ever published-—since nothing will be left
undone that can be done by talents, capital, experience,
learning, and a resolute perseverance.
‘•The Constellation” will mtfliliy recommend itself to a
cordial and generous support from the very best people by
its observance of good and avoidance of evil. It will be an
unobjectionable and perfect Family Newspaper—giving
offence to no sect or party —the favorite alike of both sexes,
of young and old. The subscriber, having bad nearly a
quarter of a century’s experience in the publication of dally
and weekly journals, and having now connected himself
with snch well known and invaluable Editorial aid as be
has herein announced, flatters himself that his new enter
prise will at once achieve a popular favor and success
unparalleled in newspaper enterprises.
The terms for “The Constellation” will be Two Dollars per
Annum each, when Ten Copies are sent in one envelope to
one address; Twenty-Eight Copies, to one address, Forty-
Nine Dollars; Two Copies, Five Dollars; Five Copies,Twelve

only snch numbers will be printed as may be ordered.

PATENT AMBRO TYPES.--The sub
scribers having purchased the exclusive right of Lan
caster city, are enabled to offer to the public a new Btyle of
Pictures, far exceeding, in beauty and durability, any ever
before made. These pictures are not reversed, as daguerreo
types areand may be seen infany light. They also possess the
rare property of being imperishable; being hermetically
sealed between glass plates, which is secured by Letters
Patent, in the United States, Great Britain and France,
and practised in Lancaster city by T. <£ W. C UMMINGS.
only, over Sprecher & Bro.’s New Store, North Queen st.,
Lancaster.
EXPLANATION.
The term AMBROTYPK, by which these Pictures are
designated; is derived from the Greek word Ambrotos, sig
nifying indestructibility, permanency, Ac. The Picture is
taken upon plate glass, to which another plate of corres
ponding size is secured with an indestructible cement, by
by which the picture will retain its original brilliancy
for ages; it will not corrode by adds,, nor be injured ,by
water or climate. It is bold in its effect, beautiful in tone,
surpasses any thing in the gradations of light and shade,
and may be seen in any light. The public are cautioned
against imitations made on single plates of glass , with the
black varnish in immediate contact with the Picture.-
Such are not permanent, as the varnish must crack and
destroy the Picture.
AMBROTYPE STERESCOPES MUST BE SEEN,
to be appreciated —the relief being fully as perfect as lile.
Citizens and Strangers are invited to call at the Ambro
type Gallery of the undersigned, and examine specimens
before they procure Pictures elsewhere, as they are
insured of polite attention,

The never-failing Mrs. VANHORN is the best; she
succeeds when all others have failed. All who are in trou
ble,—all who have been unfortunate, all whose fond hopes
have been disappointed, crushed and blasted by false prom
ises and deceit,—all who have been deceived and trifled
with,—all fly to her for advice and satisfaction, —all who
are in doubts of-the affections of those they love, consult
her to relieve and satisfy their minds. In love ajfatrx she
never fails. She has the secret of winning the affections
of the opposite sex. It is thiw fact which induces Illiterate
pretenders to try to imitate her. She shows you the like
ness of your future wife, husband, or absent friend; she
warrants and guarantees the single a happy marriage, and
makes the married happy. Her aid and advice has been
solicited in innumerable instances, and the result has
always been the means of securing a speedy and happy
marriage; she Is therefore a sore dependence. She has been
the means of bringing many hundred hearts and hands
together.. Thousands of broken hearts have been healed
and made happy by her.
It is well known to the public at large that she was the
first, and she is the only person who can show the likeness
in reality, and who can give entire satisfaction on all the
concerns of life, which can be tested and proved by thou
sands, both married and single, who daily and eagerly
visit her at

for practieal use ever published. I have some knowledge
of all in our own language and a few of those of the conti
nent of Europe. The best and largest of these surpass this
of Appleton’s in the extent to which they carry
dissertations. Bat this Cyclopedia is full of the best mat
ter. By skillful selection and compression, and sedulous
avoidance of mere show and verbiage, room is fonnd for on
immense amount of the latest information, pat forth clear
