A POETICAL WAIF.
In vigorous sweep of utterance and passionate
glow of imagination the following lines are compar
able to Tennyson’s Locksley’s Hall. They are in
cluded in a correspondence of the New York Journal
of Commerce, and published as original, though
without a signature. As they are thus cast forth a
waif, wo catch them as they go floating by:
THE DOCTOR’S DAUGHTER.
Sit down yonder, Philip; listen
Wbilo I tell my sad story.
Shut the window, draw the curtain,
I cnw’t see the moon’s soft glory,
Coming thus across the sea,
Without utmost agony.
Shn I IovocL»-sbe was radiant,
Young and with life overflowing !
She had dark eyes—shining shoulders —
Lips of blood. If you were going
Heavenward—yea, at Eden’s bourn,
And they called, you would return.
Proudest loan in all the county
Was tbo Doctor, Ida’s father.
I was but a poor school-teacher,
Tutor, to her brother, rather.
Put in spite the father’s pride
I must love her or had died.
And she loved me —yoa, I say it
With a woman’s pure devotion,
’J hough the difference between us
She was laught to think an ocean ;
Yet her lovo bridged o’er the sea —
Nay, forbade such sea to be!
Pure and perfect love, and glorious!
In its sunlight wc live basking.
TVere the Eden gardens near us
W'c’d riot think that fruit worth asking!
Life's fruit grew before us— why
Should we look beyond the sky?
Carnc a day of bitter purling
When the old man hoard the story—
Me he drove out. of the doorwuy,
Cursed me—he was old and hoary,
Arnl her father, or I could
111 have brooked those accents rude.
I went forth to seek my fortune,
Her devotion with me bearing,
\ ca, her lovo dung to mo ulway,
And her father’s anger daring;
What to her wns falsehood's breath?
Sho would love mo unto death !
I returned —hut. long years after
Young and loving her as over—
Rich beyond my utmost, fancy.
When was dream of love true? Never!
They had told her I was dead ;
>die believed thorn, and was wed.
Wed to ono Iter soul detested;
Like her father, base and sordid.
Wljo her worth in ingots counted
Wiih the bonds of stocks he hoarded,
Miser, heartless, old and cold,
Weighing Ida against gold.
"Well, he had the shining inotal,
That was all his baseness wanted ;
What tu him to those dreams angelic
That had my wanderings haunted '
What those cheeks of radiant vuuth
"V\ hat those lips of woman truth ?
Having then the gold, I reasoned,
He had all his nature needed—
Reasoned, said I—it was. passion
Many a specious pretext pleaded.
I cared naught for reason : 1
Must possess juy love or die!
Sho was willing, Gml nf.Mercy
Dost thou not. regnni with pity,
One of thine appointed angels,
Citizens of thy white city,
Tempted, falling, fainting, lost
From among thy white-winged host
So we tied. You've traveled, I’hilip—
Do you recollect at Florence,
Looking nut on the Cuseine,
An old villa, Villa Iti •rrantz *
How its latticed window shines
Brightly through the clustering vines?
There we lived ; thoro life grew golden
There we dreamed all dreams of glory ;
There whispered to her listening,
All day long the same glad story.
There she loved me—listen, boy !
There God crushed our sinful joy !
How sho clasped mo ! On my shoulder,
White as snow, her cheek was lying.
How sho held me ! flow she shuddered !
Philip, sho was dying—dying !
How she wailed l That wail of woo
Sounds along the pith I go.
Then sho kissed me. In Joy’s ncoan
That kiss weighed down woe and sank it.
All the wine oflifo we pressed out
In that cup of bliss and drank it!
Dashed the cup down—empty gold !
Loosed the clasp—her lips were cold !
“ THE POWER OE WOMAH.”
I well remember the first time that I
ventured liome,in a state of intoxication.
I knew my situation, and dreaded that my
wife should discover it. I affected to be
witty, affectionate, and social, but it was
a total failuro. I felt the fatal poison
momentarily increasing. I saw the inquir
ing eye of my wife fixed upon me with a
look of unutterable grief. It was only
with her aid that 1 was able to reach my
pillow.
All restraint was soon swept away, and
I came home night after night in a state
most revolting to the feelings of a delicate,
affectionate wife. In vain my amiable
companion wept and expostulated. I was
too much entangled and corrupted to break
away either from my vices, or associates.
They neither feared God nor regarded
man. 1 was led a captive by their devices.
1 became, 1 will not say an infidel, for
I was too Ignorant of the theory of
scepticism to be one. I became a mocker.
‘ Fools make a mock at sin,’ and such a
fool was I. I knew just enough of the
Bible to make it. a jest-book. I saw that
this part, of my conduct was extremely
painful to my pious wife, and tried to
restrain myself from trifling with the
Bible in her presence ; but, I loved to raise
loud laughter among my boisterous com
panions and the indulgence served so to
strengthen the pernicious habit., that I
was often detected in the use of this
offensive language.
It was not till I became a father that
her touching appeals on this subject
reached my conscience.
‘ Must this child,’ she would say with
tears, ‘ be traiued up under these baneful
influences ? Must he be taught by parental
example to despise and ridicule the
Scriptures with his lisping tongue before
he is able to read their contents, or realise
their heavenly origin V
Our son had now become an interesting
little prattler, imitating whatever he heard
or saw. I perceived with a diabolical
pleasure that the first effort of his infant
tongue was to imitate my profane language,
the recollection of which now sends a
thrill of grief and horror through my
bosom. In vain did his sorrowing mother
endeavor to counteract the influence of
my most wicked example. I continued to
swear, and he to imitate my profanity,
unconscious of its turpitude.
On a certain occasion I returned from
one of my gambling excursions, and found
my wife and child absent. On inquiry, I
ascertained that she had gone to her
accustomed plaoe of retirement in a grove
Borne distance from the house. I knew
that she had gone there for demotion. I
had been aooustomed to see 'hSr retire
thither at the evening twilight, and
though I thought her piety unnecessary, I
had do objection to it as a source of enjojy
ment to her, but that she should take her
child with her, excited my surprise. I felt
a curiosity to follow her. I did so, and
took a position unseen by her, but where
I had a full view of her attitude and
features. She was kneeling before a rock,
on which lay her Bible before her. One
hand was placed on its open pages ; the
other held the hand of her fair boy, who
was kneeling beside, his eyes intently fixed
on her faoe. She was pale andeare worn.
Her eyes were closed, but the tears were
chasing each.other down her cheeks, as
; she poured forth her burdened soul in
| prayer—first for her husband, that he
might be reclaimed and saved; but
espeoialy did she plead with God that her
son, whom she unreservedly dedicated to
Him, might be saved from those sins
which were taught him by his father’s
example. ‘ Save him,’ she cried with
agony, ‘ save him from taking thy great
and holy name in vain; and give his
anxious mother wisdom, fortitude, and
grace, effectually to correct and break up
the habit of profaneness.’ i
I crept silently from my hiding-place,
and returned home with a conscience
harrowed up by the keenest self-reproaches.
I knew that her feelings were not the fitful
ebullitions of passion or excitement. I
had long been convinced that her conduct
was regulated by firm and virtuous princi
ples, and that tho Bible, which I so
lightly esteemed, was the rule of her life.
On her return to the house she was
solemn, but the law of kindness still ruled
her tongue. She did not reproach me ;
but from that day she firmly and faithfully
oorroeted our little son for tho use of
profane language, even in my presence,
and when perhaps he had just oaught it
from my lips.
She succedcd in conquering the habit in
her child ; and when she had cured him,
I resolved to abandon forevolOhe use of
language which had cost her so much
pain. I did abandon it from that time. I
was now effectually reclaimed from this
vice. But my habits of intemperance were
daily becoming like brass bands. My
morning and noon and evening dram, my
loss of appetite and trembling nerves
proved the strong grasp it had upon my
constitution.
My wife was in the habit of sitting up
at night till my return, however late it
might be; She had, no doubt, in this way
saved me from perishing, as I was often
too much intoxicated to find my way to the
door without her assistance.
One cold night I had been out to a late
hour, but returned free from intoxication.
On criming silently to the house, I saw my
wretched wife through the window, sitting
over a handful of embers, with her babe
and her Bible in her lap, and the big tears
gushing from her eyes. In attempting to
enter the house, with a-fresh resolution on
my tongue,! fainted, and fell on the floor.
Upon the return to eonsciousnss, I
found my wife had drawn mo to the lire,
and was preparing me a bed, supposing
my swoon to be the usual effects of ardent
spirits. I sprang to her side, fell on my
knee, and before her and heaven vowed
never to taste another drop of anything
intoxicating. Years have since passed
over mo, and my vow is still unbroken.—
American Messenger.
A SQUINTING JURY.
The Washington Jfews records the fol
lowing amusing reminiscence :
Once upon a time, or, to be a little more
particular, nearly half a century ago, there
dwelt in the town of , in Old Eng
land, a remarkable oddity, in the person of
an attorney-at-law, who although not fair
j to look upon, (for he was, in truth, one of
[ the homeliest specimens of huiuauity ever
| beheld by mortal man,) was withal a per
son of sound j’udgment, great benevolence,
varied Icarniug, a poet, a painter, and a
wit of no mean order. It so happened
that the aforesaid gentlemen, G
G , Esq., was appointed High Sheriff
of the town of ■. He was a man
of fortune, and had a kind heart, as many
a poor prisoner could testify who partook
of The good cheer with which the prisoners
were liberally supplied at Christmas and
other well-known festivals, from the private
purse of the High Sheriff.
U was, of course, the duty of the High
Sheriff to summon a Grand and Petit Jury,
to attend at the Quarter Sessions, of which
the Recorder, Mayor and Alderman of tho
Borough composed the Court. In the per
formance of his official duty in summoning
the Petit Jury, our High Sheriff indulged
in some of the strangest and drollest
freaks that have probably ever been heard
of in any other town or country.
In (ho first place, ho summoned for the
Oeiober Court a jury consisting of twelve
of the fattest men he could find in the
Borough, and when they came to the'hook
to be sworn, it appears that only - nine
jurors could sit comfortably in the box!—
After a good deal of sweating, squeezing
and scolding, the pannel was literally
jammed into the box ! aiid, when seated,
they presented to the eye of the Court,
the barristers and audience, tho “ tightest
fit ” of a jury that was ever seen in a
court room. Literally, they became,
much to the amusement of the Court., and
its robed advocates, “ a packed jury,”
and no mistake.
For the January term, our facetious
High Sheriff (in consequence, it was said,
of some hint from the Recorder that there
should be no more fat pannels summoned
to his Court,! went to the opposite extreme.
He summoned twelve of the leanest and
tallest men he could find in the Borough;
and, when they took their seats in the
box, it appeared comparatively empty
there was indeed room enough for twelve
more of the same sort and dimensions.
For the April term of the Court, our
humerous functionary summoned a jury
consisting of twelve barbers! Now, it
happened that arnoDg the latter were the
very perruquiers who dressed the Recor
der’s and barristers’ wigs, and, some of
the latter, arriving late at the bar, had to
appear that morning in Court with their
wigs undressed, so as to cut a very ridicu
lous figure, amid the smiles and half-sup
pressed laughter of the bystanders. The
High Sheriff enjoyed the fun amazingly,
but looked “grave as a Judge,” while he
tried to keep silence iu the court room.
But the crowning joke of this waggish
functionary occurred at the summoning of
his fourth and last jury at the summer
session in July. For that term of the
Court, the High Sheriff not having the fear
of the Recorder, the Mayor and the Al
dermen before his eyes, actually summon
ed a squinting jury, twelve as queer look
“THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.” BUCHANAN.
LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, NOYEMBER 15, 1859.
mg bipeds as ever took their seats in a
jury box—a jury that was probably more
looked at and laughed at than any of the
appointed twelve that ever was sworn to
“ well and truly try, and true deliveianoe
make, between their Sovereign Lord the
King and the prisoner at the, bar.”
But tho scene was so irresistibly droll
that the learned Recorder could not main
tain his gravity. The Mayor and Aider
men followed suit. The barristers laughed,
while their wigs became bald, powderless ;
nay, even the poor prisoners in the dock,
who were to be put upon their trial, and
some of them to undergo transportation,
could not refrain from joining in the gen
eral caehination. And when the Recor
der commanded tho High Sheriff to bring
the court room to order, and intimated,
with a half-suppressed laugh, that the lat
ter ought to be ashamed of himself for
summoning such a jury, the drollery of
the Court scene was eqnsiderably height
ened by the quick, ready and sonorous
response of the High Sheriff, who, looking
at the same time at the squinting jury, ex
claimed—“ All good'andlawful men, your
honor.” r
But our humorous functionary has long
since ec shuffled off this mortal coil.”
A First Rate Story for Lawyers,
It is probable that every lawyer of any
note has heard and read of the celebrated
Luther Martin of Maryland. His great
effort in the ease of Aaron Burr, as well
as his display in the Senate of the United
States, will not be forgotten. Trifles in
the history of genius are important, as we
hope to show in the story.
Mr. Martin was on his way to Annapolis
to attend the Supreme Court of the State.
A solitary passenger was in the stage with
him, and, as the weather was extremely
cold, the passengers soon resorted to con
versation to divert themselves from too
much sensibility to the inclement air.—
The young man knew Martin by sight, and
as he was also a lawyer, the thread of
talk soon began to spin itself out of legal
matters.
‘ Mr. Martin,’ said the young man, ‘ I
am just entering on my career as a lawyer ;
can you tell roe the secret of your great
success? If, sir, you-will give mo from
your experience the key to distinction at
the Bar, I will—’
‘ Will what ?’ exclaimed Martin.
‘Why, sir, I will pay your expenses
while you are at Annapolis.’
‘ Done. Stand to your bargain, now,
and I’ll furnish you with the great secret
of my success as a lawyer.’
The young man assented.
1 Very well,’ said Mr. Martin. ‘ The
whole secret of my success is contained in
one little maxim, which I early laid down
to guide me. If you follow it you cannot
fail to succeed. It is this-: ‘Always be
sure of your evidence.’ ’
The listener was very attentive—smiled
—threw himself back in a philosophical
posture, and gave his brain to the analysis
with true lawyer patience, of always be
sure of your evidence.
It was too cold a night for anything to
he made pecuniarily out of the old man’s
wisdom, and so the promising adept in
maxim learning gave himself to stage
dreams, in which he was knocking and
pushing his way through the world by the
all-powerful words, of ‘ Always be sure of
your evidence.’
The morning came, and Mr. Martin
with his practical student, took rooms at
the host hotel in the city. The only thing
peculiar to tho hotel, in the eyes of the
young man, was that the wine bottles and
the et ceieras of fine living seemed to re
call very vividly that maxim about the
evidence.
The young man watched Mr. Martin.—
Wherever eating and drinking were con
cerned, he was indeed a man to be watched,
especially, as he was immoderately fond of
the after dinner, after supper, after every
thing luxury of wine. A few days were
sufficient to show the incipient legalist
that he would have to pay dearly for his
knowledge, as Mr. Martin seemed resolved
to make the most of his part of tho con
tract.
Lawyers, whether young or old, have
legal rights, and so the young man began
to think of tho study of self-protection.—
It was certainly a solemn duty. It ran
through all creation. Common to animals
and men, it was noble instinct not to be
disobeyed, particularly where the hotel
bills of a lawyer were coneerned. The
subject daily grew on the young man. It
was all absorbing to the mind and pocket,.
A week elapsed, and Mr. Martin was ready
to return to Baltimore. So was the young
man, but not in tho same stage with his
illustrious teacher.
Mr. Martin approached the counter in
the bar-room. The young man was an
anxious spectator near him.
‘ Mr. Clerk,’ said Mr. Martin, ‘my
young friend, Mr. wilt settle my
bill, agreeably to the engagement.’
The young man said nothing but looked
everything.
‘ He will attend to it Mr. Clerk, as we
have already had a definite understanding
on the subject. He is pledged, profession
ally pledged to pay my bill,’ he hurriedly
repeated.
■Where's your evidenceV asked the
young man.
‘ Evidence ?’ sneered Mr. Martin,
‘ Yes, sir,’ said the young man, demure
ly, ‘ always be sure of your evidence, Mr.
Martin. Can you prove the bargain?’
Mr. Martin saw the snare, and pulling
out his pocket-book paid the bill, and with
great good humor assured the young man,
‘ You will do, sir, and get through the
world with your profession without advice
from me.’
Many years ago, the only inn at
the Irish town of Keswick was called the
“ Cook,” and was much frequented by
visitors to the lake districts. But the late
excellent Bishop of Landaif, Hr. Richard
Matson, happening to reside in the neigh
borhood, and being universally esteemed
and loved, the landlord out of compliment
to his lordship, changed his sign to the
Bishop’s head. Another inn was shortly
opened in the village, and the proprietor
selected the “ Cook ” as his sign. The
landlord of the old inn, finding that the
rival establishment, owing to its name,
threatened to deprive, him of many of his
customers, in consequence of the guide
books recommending the “ Cook ” as the
best inn, wrote under the bishop’s head at
his door; “This is the original old
Cock,” to the great amusement of the
bishop, who used to relate the story with
much glee.
Siah Flake has lost his Mariar
and Tells of it.
“ Ah,” said Siah, “ thar haint none on
you knows the troubles a man with feelin
in his heart and furniture in his house
agoin to ruin and dust, and kivered with
cobwebs, endoores when .he loses the
partner of his bosom. His grief, in sieh
instances will outlast ten yards of hat
crape. A man might as well take the
road to High Bridge fur a near out to
Whitehall, as to travel single arter he’s
throw’d his legs in doubld*harness. 1 Taiot
no juce. Besides, when a man becomes a
widderer, he can’t travel on his shape;
married men don’t have no shape. Arter
a man gets into the mattermonial-noose
he loses the hang of himself. I never
knowd a married man that ever had a suit
of clothes that fit him. Some how, at fust
the feller shrinks er else the clothes
stretches—one or tother. He gets kinder
loose all over, and if he’s got a particularly
earless wife, he looks a kinder wilted—
onsartain, as if he were stuffed with straw,
and were afeared the ends would stick
out. Well, as 1 was goin’ to say, wen a
man’s wife slips off the handle and haint
seen no more, she is missed—that’s so.
’Taint no difference whare a young and
interestin’ gal steps out, oos her innocent
prospects in life ar’n’t, as yet, connected
with loose shirt buttons, busted suspenders,
and the holes in a great he fellers breeches.
But, when a wife puts her spermacetti
under the bushel, or suffers it to be snuffed
out by a yaller cholera, then thar is a loss.
Specially to her mournin’ partner. When
my Mariar dewclloped the last internal
resources of her lungs, and drew her final
breth—(she were spunky a drawin’ that
breth. She’d a draw’d that breth ef forty
horses had been pullin’ aginst her.) The
world seemed so gin out with her. The
women in the room kinder swum me from
her side, in a ocean of tears. “ Poor
man, he’s gone out to sob his dear heart
away,” and one of ’em follerod me into
the woodshed. The old hypererit, she
know’d I was going into the wood-house
to sob down a few draps of “ Old Rye,” a
sort of stuff that her nose hed turned red
a smellin’.
Well, Mariar, hed to “ go under,” and
when she was “ planted,” her bereaved
Bob—that’s me—went to his desolate
home. When I went in at the door, thar
lay the oat a mewing for her milk. She
had got so thin that her hide hung across
her back bone like a dishcloth over a tele
graph wire. The poor critter had been in a
starvin’ condition three or four days.
Next, thar were the dorg. Sometimes I
thought he was his shadder, and then agin
I thought his shadder were him. He
were so weak that wen I wistled to him
his shadder run up to me afore he could
lift himself onto his legs. You could a
used him lengthways for a spy-glass, he
were so holler. He were so weak that
wen he opened his mouth he had to drap
his tail, audtutsa wersey. 1-Jf he’d a shuk
his head his teeth would a flew out like
bees out of a barn. He looked up at me,
and then at that eat. lie hated that cat,
and the oat warnt no way baek’aru in
hatin’ him. She tried to histe her spinal
marrer and crook her tail, but it wouldn’t
work. The bar riz a little—that’s all.
The dorg drapped onto his hunkers and
looked beef at me. Beef were his favorite
feed wtien he could git it. I throw’d a
chunk at him. Whar that beef went I
don’t know. It’s a mystery. The dorg
didn’t seem to hev stirred a peg. There
he sot, a looking beef at me stronger, than
ever. But, after a while, he kinder
revived. The next inornin’ he come up
to my bedside, and the poor feller had
tied a piece of crape to his left hind leg.
That dorg and that cat wore never
lackin for meat and drink while Mariar
were about. How I miss that woman. —
She were a woman sieh as don’t eomo
often to sinners. If she only know’d how
1 mourn for her. Sieh pies as she made,
and sieh crust ! and her baked beans !
Oh ! she were a wife as knew how to tech
the finest cords of the hewman heart.—
She won my first love by fried doughnuts.
I’ve sot watching them creations of her’s
swimmin and sizzen in the bilin fat and
gradooly turnin from their native yaller
to a crispy brown. Oh ! and then she
had sieh a high art way of fishin them
out with a fork, harpoonin them as if they
were young whales. Sieh geuises as her’s
couldn’t last long. Them doughnuts won
me, and a couple of her apple dumplins
sealed the bargain. I tuk her for wiis
and found her a great deal better..
She’s gone now, the blessed critter. I
don’t bleve she’s a angel. Angels haint
in her line. Angels is highfalutin females
as has wings cos they’re too weke to walk,
All the angels I've ever heerd on in
print ’er hev seen knowd nothing of pork
and beans ’er fryin doughnuts. Mariar
warnt a pianer player, she couldn’t write,
were never ’dieted with laziness) and didn’t
take to reeding yaller kivered litteratoor,
and ther’fore I speet she wont be very
good company for the angels I’ve seed,
afore they departed from this vial of tears.
Mariar 1 How I miss her; here’s my
suspender button gone and I hev to use a
shiugle nail crosswise instead. Shirts
ripped and tored. That thar bed haint
been sot to rights in two weeks. This
yere floor is. gone to dust and grease.—
How I did.love that woman. The more
1 misses her the more I feels the needees
sity of gittin suthin er somebody in her
place. I loved her as no tung kin tell.—
I hevn’t hed a fried doughnut since more’n !
a week afore she resigned the spectre. — (
There’s Sal Swipes. She’s on the anxious

afeared she’s lookin more arter Mariar’s

mine want blacking. 1 cant black ’em.—
Sieh exercise gives me a rush of blood to
the head. Mariar, dear, darling Mariar, '
when she tuk hold and polished ’em I could

Oh, Mariar! Your Siah morneth for

Senselessly Ceeyil.—A case has
been reported of a country girl who
thought it possible that there might be an
excess in such scrupulous regard to appear
ances. On her marriage day the youth to
whom she was about to be united said to
her in a triumphant tone, “ Weel, Jenny,
haven’t I been uneoo eeevill” alluding to
the fact that during their whole courtship
he had never even given her a kiss. Her
quiet reply was, “ Ou ay, man, senselessly
oeevil.”
Serenading a Young Lady. —A friend
i tells the following :
In my young days I was extravagantly
fond of attending parties, and somewhat
celebrated for playing on the Ante.
Hence it was generally expected that when
an invitation was extendedymy flute would
accompany me.
I visited a splendid party one evening,
and was called upon to favor the oompany
with a tune on the flute. I, of course,
immediately oomplied with the request.
The company appeared delighted; but
more particularly so was a young lady,
who raised her hands, and exclaimed it
was beautiful, delightful, &c. I, of course,
was highly delighted, and immediately
formed a resolution to serenade the young
lady on the following night.
1 started the next night in company with
several young friends, and arrived, as I
supposed, at the young lady’s residence,
but made a glorious mistake by getting
under the window of an old Quaker.
‘ Now, boys,’ said I, ‘ behold the senti
mentality of this young lady’ the moment
I strike up the Last Rose of Summer.’
I struck up, but the window remained
closed, and the boys began to smile.
‘ Oh,’ said I, ‘ that’s nothing ; it would
not be in good taste to raise the window
on the first air.’
1 next struck up ‘ Old Robin Gray.’
Still the window remained olosed. The
boys snickered, and I felt somewhat flat.
‘ Once more, boys,’ said I, ‘ and she
must come.’ I struck up again— ‘ My
love is like the red,'red rose.’ Still there
was no demonstration.
‘ Boys,’ said I, ‘ she’s a humbug. Let
us sing ‘ Home, Sweet Home,’ and if that
don’t bring her,l’ll give up.’
We struck up, and as we finished the
last line, the window was raised.
‘ That’s the ticket, boys, I kpew we
could fetch her.’
But instead of the beautiful young
lady, it turned out to be the old Quaker,
in his nigkt-cap and dressing-gown.
‘ Friend,’ said he, ‘ thee was sioging of
thy home —and, if I recollect right, thee
said there was no place like home ; and if
that is true, why don’t thee go to thy
home ? Thee is not, wanted here, thee
nor thy company. Farewell!’

ferent Countries.— Edmund About, in
his book < The Roman Question,’ makes
the following comparison of young men of
twenty-five in different countries. After
describing the education of young Roman
nobles, he says, in his flashy way ;
“ One fine day they attain their twenty
fifth year. At this age an American has
already tried his hand at a dozen different
trades, made four fortunes, and at least
one bankruptcy, has goDe through a couple
of campaigns, had a lawsuit, established a
new religious sect, killed half a dozen
men with his revolver, freed a Degress,
and conquered an island. An English
man has passed some stiff examinations,
been attached to ail embassy, founded a
factory, converted a Catholic, gone round
the world, and road the complete works of
Scott. A Frenchman has rhymed
a tragedy, written for two newspapers,
been wounded in three duels, twice at
tempted suicide, vexed fourteen husbands,
and changed his politics nineteen times.
A German has slashed fifteen of his dear
est friends, swallowed sixty hogsheads of
beer, and the philosophy of Hegal, swung
eleven thousand couplets, compromised a
tavern waiting maid, smoked a million of
pipes, and been mixed up with at least two
revolutions.
The Roman Prince has done nothing,
loved nothing, suffered nothing. His pa
rents or guardians open a cloister gate,
take out a young girl as inexperienced as
himself, and the pair of innocents are then
bidden to kneel before a priest, who gives
them permission to become parents of an
other generation of innocents like them
selves.”
A Funny Incident.— Not long since
one of our most popular ministers was in
formed while in his study, that a party
was in the parlor waitiug to engago his
services.
The reverend gentleman laid down his
pen, while visions of a fee floated before
liis eyes, as he donned hi.s biaek coat, and
thought of a few words of advice that lie
would give the couple anxious to be made
one.
Upon entering the parlor he encountered
an old lady and a youug lady, and her
beau. The old lady spoke as follows :
‘ I wish you to marry my daughter and
her feller,’ displaying much more agitation
and excitement than the paities most in
terested.
1 Certainly—l am happy to see you.—
Allow me to look at your certificate.’
the young couple complied with the
request.
The reverend gentleman glanced over
the document, and a look of disappoint
ment appeared upon his face.
‘ Hallo !’the would-be bridegroom ex
claimed. 1 Nothing burst I hope !’
‘ 1 am sorry to inform you that your
certificate is informal, and consequently I
can’t marry you until another is obtained.’
1 But Mister,’ cried the old lady oan’t you
half marry um for to night, and to-morrow
we’ll get a new certifikit and make it all
right. It will be a dreadful disappoint
ment to the young folks !’
At a meeting of a church session,
not a thousand miles away, a minister
desiring a dissolution of the pastoral rela
tion, to accept a call to a more influential
church, in justification of his course, un
fortunately stumbled on a scripture quota
tion, which, with a slight miscontruction,
plaoed the reverend brother in an embar
rassing position. ‘ My brethren,’ said he,
1 we are not our own, we are bought with
a price.’ At this point he came to a stand,
whereupon an impertinent member moved
forthwith for a grant of the request—as he
did not think the church could afford to
give him any more than the present salary.
Tragedy la a Sickles. Sickles
tragedies are quite common now. An
affecting scene of this kind took place not
a thousand miles from La Crescent, Md.,
in which the following dialogue took place :
Indignant husband to his wife’s lover.—
“ Scoundrel, you have dishonored me,
and must die!” Makes a rush at him
with a dagger.
Wife se'zes the dagger—“ Hold, wretch
ed and imprudent man ! What would you
do ? Would you murder the father of
your ohildren 1”

*A CARD
The subscriber having several hundred dollars of bills
of the Lnucaster Bank, is desirous of collecting them uIT
the stockholders, as the Bank refuses payment. Now, aa
it is hard for one man to fight a thousand, I take this
inolbod of equalizing the expense, and hope all who havo
Lancaster Bank bills will immediately send thorn to tne
for collection, for soon they will be worthless for the want
of attouding to. It will cost from Five to Ten Thousand
Dollars to posh the matter through the Courts. I want
parties to send me at the rate of Five Dollars to the hun
dred to pay Court charges, in good monoy, otherwise no
one can afford to enforce collection, anil the poor bill holder
will lose all. The Bank failed November, 1856, a'ud at this
date, August, 1559, it owes depositors S'S3,UOU —owes out
standing bills $175,000 —has several hundred stockholders
who are mostly wealthy, and can bo nmdo to pay, first the
bill holders and then the depositors. I also find the Bnuk
has about $50,000 owing it, which is good, but they are
purchasing the bills at 10 cents to 15 ceDts on the dollar
to pay their notes with, and whon they are all paid, there
will bo no value to the bills, without it Is attended to as l
propose. ‘'FIRST CGMK, FIRST SERVED”—send on

These Machines sew from two spools, as purchased from
the store, requiring no re-winding of thread; they Hem,
Fell, Gather und Stitch iu a superior style, finishing each
scam by their own operation, without recourse to the band
needle, as is required by other machines. They will do
better and cheaper sewing than a seamstress can, even if
she works tor one atnt an hour, and are, unquestionably,
the best MacJdnes in the market for family sewing, on ac-
Wunt of th*-lr simplicity, durability, ease of management,
and adaptation to all varieties of family sewing—executing
either heavy or fine wu.k with equal facility, and without
special adjustment.
As evidence of tho unquestioned superiority of their Ma
chines the Grover & Baker Sewing Machine Company beg
leave to respectfully refer to the following
TESTIMONIALS.
“Having had one of Grover A Baker’s Machines in my
family for neurly a year and a half, I take pleasure lu com
manding it a-* every way reliable for the pnrposo for which
it is designed—Family Sewing.”— Mrs. Joshua Leavitt, wife
of liev. Dr. Editor of y ]'. Independent.
"I am delighted with your Sewing Machine, which has
been in my family f>r many months. It has always been
ready for duty, requiring no adjustment, and is easily
adapted to every variety of family sewing, by simply
changing tlio spools of thread.”— Mrs. Elizabeth Strickland,
wife of Rev. Dr. Strickland, EtliloT yew York Chrixtian
Advocate.
“Aftt-r trying several diflcrentgood machines, I preferred
yours, on account of its simplicity, and the perfect ease
with which it h managrd. ms wdl ns the strength arid du
rability o’ 'he MM.MUi. After long experience, I feel compe
tent to -peak in this manner, ami to confidently rocommoud
it for cvt»ry variety nt fan ily n«>.viuc." — Mrs. E. B. Spanner,
wife, nf the. E-litor of BmoUi/n Star.
•‘1 have used a Grover A Baker Sewing Machine for two
years, and have found it adapted to all kinds of family
sewing, from Cambric to Broad* loth. Givruieote have he«n
worn out without the giving way of a stitch. The Machine
is oaHily kept in order, and easily used."— Mrs. A. B. Whip
ple. wife of R,v. Gen. Whipple. New JorL.
•Your Sewing Machine has been in use in myfnmUythe
past two years, and the ladies reqncat me to giro you their
testimonials to its perfect adaptednosa, as well as labor
saving qualities it) tho performance of family and house
holti sewing.'' —Robert Btxrrmaiu New York.
“For several months we have used Grovor A Bakor’u
Sewing Machine, and have erne to the conclusion that
every lady who desires her sewing beautifully and quickly
done, would he-most fortunate in possessing one of these
reliable and induiatigable 'iron needle women.’ whose com
bined qualities at l>eauty, strength, and simplicity, are In
valuable."—J W. Morris, daughter of Gen. Geo. P. Morris,
Editor of the Home Journal.
Extract of a letter from Thou. R. Leavitt, Esq., an Amer
ican gout Inman, now resident in Now South Wales, dated
January 12, LS. r .S:
“I hail a tent made in Meltxnirne, in 1853, In which there
were over three thousand yards of sewing done with one
of Grover k Maker’s Machines, aud a single sosm of that
has nut.stoi d all thu double seams sewed by sailors with a
needle vnd twine.”
“If Ilorucr could be called up from his murky hades, he
would sing tho advent of Grov«ir A Baker aa a more benig
nant miracle of urt than was ever Vulcan’s smithy. He
would denounce midnight shirt-making as *the direful
spring of woes unnumbered.'”— Prof. North.
“I take pleasure in saying that tho Grover A Baker Sow
ing Machines have moro than sustained my expectation.—
After trying and returning others, I have three of them in
operation in my di tie rent places, and, after four years’trial,
have no fault to liud.”— J. If. Hammond, Senator of South
Carolina.
“My wife has had oneofGrovor A Biker’s Family Sewing
Ma-hiues for some time, aud I am satisfied it is ouo of the
best labor-saving machines that has been Invented. I take
much pleasure in recommending it to tho public.”— l. G-
If'lrrix. Governor of Tennessee.
••It is a beautiful thing, and puts everybody Into an ex
citoment of good humor. Wore I a Catholic, I should insist
upon Saints Grover and Baker having au oternul holiday
in commemoratiou of their good deeds for humaulty.”—
Omn/-t M. Clay.
“I think it by far thn boat pateut in use. This Machine
can be adapted from the finest cambric to tho heaviest caa
sitnore. It sews stronger, faster.and more beautifully than
one can imagine. If mine could not be replaced, money
could not buy it.”— Mrs. J. G. Drown , Nashville, Tenn .
