For The Intelligencer MY MOTHER'S GRAVE I am kneeling by thy grave, Mother, Thy cold, sad resting place, Among the elms and willows green, Thy tomb I now embrace. My hand rests on the marble cold, My' tears flow fast and free, I'm thinking of the days when you Were all the world to me. Thei've laid thee by the vi'let bank, Its perfumes fill my heart With memories of virtues bright, Which with thee did depart. Oh ! Mother, tho' thou dwell'st among , Bright Angels in the sky lhou'lt not forget thy lonely one Who longs so much to die. I cannot drink this bitter cup, cannot live alone, My Mother do not let me grieve, Am I not still thine own? I've brought fresh garlands for thy tomb, I've culled the choicest flowers, Their dew-drops will now weep with me Here in my lonely hours. The amaranthe is blooming here, Sweet roses scent the air, green willows bend above the place Where thy daughter kneels in prayer. Thy love was all I prized on earth, This world's a blank to me, Heaven has crowned a Saint, dear Mother, A glorious Saint in thee. ROSAMOND V. s. LANCASTER COUNTY, Jan. 4th, 1860. THE WIDOW BARBARA FANE The gay young widow, Barbara Farm, With her springy step, Came down the lane, And won my heart,' The more's the pity— She stormed the gates And took the city. Very pretty Is Barbara Fane, Wise and witty— Is mine the gain? I sat in the window, And sighed with pain, I sighed for there Came down the lane A dashing youth With Barbara Fane. She raised her eyes, They were broivn as night, And they flashed on me With their mocking light; And she turned her face Where the rose did seek The lily to chase From her oval cheek; And she shook her tresses Of rippling gold, With a charm though felt Can never be told. Oh, Barbara! Beautiful Barbara Fans! I'll close this window Over the lane, And draw the curtains Over my heart, And still, if I can, This stinging smart; And never, oh, beautiful Barbara Fans! Shall your deep brown eyes— With their rapturous bane, Look on my woe-wan face again! SETH WOODSUM'S WIFE BY JACK DOWNING As Mr. Seth Woodsum was mowing one morning in the lower haying field, and his eldest son, Obediah, a smart boy of thir teen, opening the mown grass to the sun,. Mr. Woodsum looked up toward the house, and beheld his little daughter Harriet, ten years of age, rushing towards him with the greatest speed. As she came up he perceived that she was greatly agitated; tears were running down her cheeks, and she had scarcely breath enough to speak. 0 father,' she faintly articulated, mother is dreadful sick ; she's on the bed and says she shall die before you get. there." -Mr. Woodsum was a man of sober, sound mind and calm nerves but he had, what sometimes happens in this cold and loveless world of ours, a tender attachment for his wife, which made the message of the little girl fall on his heart like a. dagger. lie dropped his scythe, and ran with great haste to the house. Obediah, who was at the other end of the field, see ing, the unusual movement of his father, dropped his fork and ran with all his might, and the two entered the house almost at the same time. Mr. Woodsum hastened to the bedside, and took his wife's hand. 44 My dear Sally," said he, 4 what is the matter 1' What is the matter?' echoed Mrs_ Woodsum, with a plaintive groan. I shouldn't think you need to ask what is the matter, Mr. Woodsum. Don't you see I am dying ?' Why, no, Sally, you don't look as if you were dying. What is the matter 1 How do you feel ?" 'O, I shan't live till night,' said Mrs. Woodsum, with a heavy sigh,' I am going fast." Mr. Woodsum, without waiting to make further inquiries,. told Obediah to run land jump on to the horse, and ride after Dr. Fairfield, and get him to come over as quick as he can come. Tell him I am afraid your mother is dying. If the doctor's horse is away off in the pasture, ask him to take our horse and come right over, whilst you go and catch his." Obediah with tears in his eyes, and his heart in his mouth, flew as though he had wings added to his feet, and in three minutes time he had mounted upon Old Gray,' and galloping with full speed toward Dr. Fairfield's. My dear," said Mr. W oodsum, lean ing" his head upon the pillow, hew do you feel? what makes you think 'you are dying V And he tenderly kissed her forehead as he spoke, and pressed her hand to his bosom. 0 Samuel,' for she generally called his Christian name, when under the influ ence of tender emotions ; I have pains darting through my head, and most all over me ; and I feel dizzy ; and can't hardly see ; and my heart beats as though it would come through my sfcle. 'And besides, I feel as though I was dying. I'm sure I can't live till night ; and what will become of my poor children ?' and she sobbed heavily, and burst into a flood of tears. Mr. Woodsum was affected. He could not bring himself to believe that his wife was in such immediate danger of dissolu tion as she seemed to apprehend. He thought she had no appearance of a dying person; but still her earnest and positive declaration that she should not live through the day, sent a thrill through his veins, and a sinking to his heart, that no , language had power to describe. Mr. Woodsam was as ignorant of medieine as a child; he therefore did not attempt to do any thing to relieve his wife, except to try and soothe her feelings by kind and encourag ing words, till the doctor arrived. The half-hour which elapsed, from the time Obediah left till the doctor came, seemed to Mr. Woodsam almost an age. He repeatedly went from the bedside to the door, to look and see if the doctor was anywhere near, and as often returned to heat his wife groan, and say she was sink ing fast, and could not stand it very many minutes longer. At length Dr. Fairfield rode up to the door on Mr. Woodsuat's Old Gray,' and with saddlebags in hand, hastened into the house. A brief examination of the patient convinced him that it was a decided case of hypochondria, and he soon spoke encouraging words to her; although she was considerably unwell, he did not doubt she t Would be better in a little while. 4 0, Doctor, how can you say so ?' said Mrs. Woodsum, Don't you see I'm dying? I can't possibly live till night ; I am sinking very, fa,t, Doctor, and I shall never see the sun rise again. My heart sometimes almost stops_ its beating now, and my feet and hands are growing cold. But I must see my dear children once more ; do let 'em come in and bid me farewell.' Here she was so overwhelmed with tears and sobs as to prevent her saying more. The doctor having administered the drugs in such cases made and provided, is followed out by Mr. Woodsum, all anxiety to learn the real danger of the case. He is assured that it is only an attack of hypochondria, and the good lady herself ere long tecovers. Again and again, however, is our friend Seth summoned from the plow, and the doc tor from pills, to administer consolation and relief in her dying hour, and again and again does she recover. We give below the story of Death's Last Assault. At last the sober, saddening days of autumn came on. Mr. Woodsum was in the midst of his fall work, which had been several times interrupted by those periodi cal turns of despondency in his wife. One morning he went to his work early, for he had fi heavy day's work to do, and had engaged one of his neighbors to come with two yoke of oxen and plow, to help him break up an old mowing field. His neigh bor could only help him that day, and he was very anxious to plow the whole field. He accordingly had left the children and the nurse in the house, with strict charge to take good care of their mother. Mr. Woodsum was driving the team, and his neighbor holding the plow, and things went on to their mind, till about ten o'clock in the forenoon, when little Harriet came running to the field, and told her father that her mother was dreadful sick,' and wanted him to come as quick as he could, for she was certainly dying now. Mr. Woodsum, without saying a word, drove the team to the end of the furrow ; but he looked thoughtful and perplexed.— Although he felt persuaded that the dan ger was imaginary, as it had always proved before, still the idea of the bare possibility that this sickness might be unto death, pressed upon him with such power, that he laid down his goad stick, and telling his neighbor to let the cattle breathe awhile, walked deliberately towards the I house. Before he had accomplished the whole distance, however, his own Imagin ation had added such wings to his speed that he found himself moving at a quick run. He entered the house, and found his wife as he had so often found her before, in her own estimation almost ready to breathe her last. Her voice was faint and low, and her pillow was wet with tears. She had already taken lease of her dear children, and only waited to exchange a few words with her beloved husband. Mr. Woodsum approached her bedside, and took her hand tenderly as he had ever been wont to do, but he could not perceive any symptoms of approaching dissolution, different from what he had witnessed on a dozen former occasions. Now, my dear,' said Mrs. Woodsum, faintly, ' the time has come at last. I feel that I am on my death-bed, and have but a short time to stay with you. But I hope we shall feel resigned to the will of heaven. I would go cheerfully, dear, if it was not for my anxiety about you and the children. Now don't you think, my dear,' she continued, with increasing ten derness, don't you think it would be best for you to be married again to some kind, good woman that would be a mother to our dear little ones, and make your home pleasant for all of you ?' She paused, and looked earnestly in his face. Well, I've sometimes thought of late, it might be beet,' said Mr. Woodsum, with a very solemn air. Then you have been thinking about it V said Mrs. Woodsum, with a slight contrac tion of the muscles of the face. Why, yes,' said Mr. Woodsum, I have sometimes thought about it since you have had spells of being very sick. It makes me feel dreadfully to think of it, I don't know but it might be my duty.' Well, I do think it would,' said Mrs. Woodsum, if you can get the right sort of a person. Everything depends upon that, my dear, and I hope you will be very particular about who you get, very.' I certainly shall,' said Mr. Woodsum ; don't give yourself any uneasiness about that, my dear, for I assure you I shall be very particular. The person I shall prob ably have is one of the kindest and best tempered women in the world.' But have you been thinking of any one in particular, my dear?' said Mrs. Woodsum, with a manifest- look of un easiness. Why, yes,' said Mr. Woodsum, there is one I have thought for some time past I should probably marry, if it should be the will of Providence to take you from us.' And pray, Mr. Woodsum, who can it be 1' said the wife, with an expression more of earth than heaven, returning to her eyes. Who is it, Mr. Woodsum?— You haven't mentioned it to her, have you Oh, no, by no means,' said Mr. Wood sum ; but, my dear, we had better drop the subject ; • it agitates you too much.' But, Mr. Woodsum, you must tell me who it is. I never could die in peace until you do.' It is a subject too painful to think about, and it don't appear to me that it would be best to- call names,' said Mr. Woodeum. But I insist upon it,' said Mrs. Wood- . 1,11 wyq: y:i p i j :y • :,1 :I• : II: •1:11.1 I .; I: 4:2 :._ y.zu • . . 3"'—gumuariAli. LANCASTER CITY.

Well, then,' said Mr. Woodsum, with a sigh, if you insist upon it, my' dear, I have thought that should it be the will of I Providence to remove you from us, to be I here no more, I have thought I would marry for my second wife, Hannah Love joy.' • An earthly fire once more flashed from. Mrs. W.oodsum's eyes—she leaped from the bed like a cat, walked across the room, and seated herself in a chair. , What she exclaimed in a trembling voice, almost choked by agitation— , what ! marry that idle, sleepy slut of a Hannah Lovejoy ! Mr. Woodsum that is too much for flesh and blood to bear. I can't endure that, and I won't. Hannah Love joy to be the mother of my children ! No 1 . that's what she never shall. So you may go to your plowing, Mr. Woodsum, and set your heart at rest. Susan,' she continued, , make up more fire under that dinner pot.' Mr. Woodsum went to the field and pursued his work, and when he returned at noon, found dinner well prepared, and his wife ready to do the honors of the table. _ - Mrs. Wood health frotn that day continued to improve,litif she - was never afterwards visited with the terrible. affiic= tion of hypochondria. 11:i4DPALlatiircliviwuktimA When I first went into the country near the Bay of Natal, things were very different to what they are now ; there were not nearly so many Caffres in the country, and there were no white men except our own party. Game was in plenty ; and many a nionster which has now sought more secure retreats, was then to be seen in the neighborhood of the bay. I built myself a beehive-shaped hut, like one of the Caffres, on the open ground near the Umbilo, and cultivated a little piece of ground near it. I had lived about three weeks in this place, when my Hottentot, Plache came one day to me in great fright, and told me that he had seen 44 the biggest snake that ever was ;" that it had crossed the Umbilo river, and had entered some long reeds about a half a mile from my hut. He said that the snake's head was on the land on one side whilst the tail was on the other side of the Umbilo. Now, this river is not very broad ; but if what the man told me was true, the snake must have been over thirty feet in length. I knew that a species of boa-constricter was to be found here, for I had shot one sixteen feet Ong as I: was coming from the old colony to the bay. I did not trouble myself to look after the snake, for there was a large swamp with long reeds extending for more than a mile along the banks of this river, with cover enough to conceal five hundred snakes. About a month after Plaehe's interview with the boa, there fell a Vast quantity of rain, and the river rose and flooded the whole of this swamp. The nearest piece of dry land to the river was the little rising ground on which my hut stood. One evening during the time that the flood was out, I came back from shoot ing just as the sun was setting. I had shot a buck which I had found out in the open ground, behind the Berea Bush. Plache was with me, and I left him and a Caffre to bring in the buck, whilst I re turned home, alone, to prepare a fire, and get ready the cooking pots. I noticed that the water was very high, and had not left more than a hundred yards clear round my hut, which was, however, still some ten or twelve feet above the level of the flood. I placed my gun outside, against the hut, and crawled into the doorway of the kraal. You must know that the only light that enters these buildings is by the doorway, so when I blocked up this, the only spar tare, the interior was rather dark. I knew that my flint and steel-box were stuck up in the thatch of the roof, and these I cnuld use to obtain light, in case the embers were not smouldering in the centre of the hut, where I usually kept a fire. I could not see a sign of a spark amongst the ashes, when I first entered the but ; and as the evening was closing in, I thought I might have difficulty in making a fire, as the dew was so heavy that all the wood became damp, even inside the but ; so I lay down, and blew amongst the white wood ashes, to try and rouse a flame. Whilst I was thus occupied, I fancied that I heard something move amongst the blankets that lay by the side of the hut. I looked at ''the spot, and there to my astonishment, saw a gigantic snake, which appearSd nearly as large round as my ' body. The animal was coiled up amongst my bedding, but had about three feet, head and neck, stretched out and pointed at me—its forked tongued now and again shooting out some inch or two from its ' mouth. The instant that I saw the mons ter, I jumped to my feet, and looked round for a weapon, but there was not one at hand. My gun I had placed out side ; my large knife I had left with Plache, to enable him to cut up the buck, and in fact, I was unarmed. A cold shudder came over me when 1 realized the state of affairs ; the door of the hut was only two feet high, and to escape, there fore, I must crawl out, and I felt certain that if I stooped down, the snake would instantly dart at me. I was not at all aware what power these snakes might possess •, I believed a monster like this would make short work of me. I mightrfight and struggle, but unarmed what could I do. How long I stood looking at the snake, I do not know, but it could not have been seconds, although the time appeared minutes ; sud denly 1 remembered that my Uaffre had, a few days before, asked me to allow him to place an assegai in my but, because the night-dew caused the blade to rust when the weapon was exposed. Here, then, was a hope for nee, for I knew that the man had not taken away the assegai with him. I scarcely dared take my eyes off the snake, lest the brute should dart at me ; but giving a glance round the upper part of the hut, I saw the handle of the assegai protruding from the thatch, and nearly within reach of me. I knew that the instant I moved the snake would spring at me. I however, raised my hand and arm very" slowly towards the assegai, and at length, by.bending over a little, man aged to grasp the handle. As I did so 1 the snake, which had gradually uncoiled during my movements, darted towards me, I jumped aside, and pulled out the broad bladed assegai, which had been sharpened very keen, but the snake moved like lightning, and although he had missed me in his &tit dart, he recovered himself instantly, and sprung at me again; Before I could make a Out at him, his teeth caught in my leather trowsers, and he thus obtained a stronghold, and with a pull as sudden as his lunge, he dragged my feet from under me, and brought me to the ground ; a big fold of his body rolled over his head, and fellupen my legs, while it weighed me to the ground as if a loaded wagon were on them. He managed all this in a very short time ; but I was not idle, for I knew that if he could once manage to press down my chest, or my arms, he might kill me. Now, the feeling that first same upon me was certainly not a pleasant one, because I was without a weapon • but as soon as I grasped the assegai 1 knew that I was safe ; consequently when he really attacked me, I felt as though it was' a piece of impudence on his part, for I never expected the affair would have been as dangerous to me as it proved to be. These things take some time to tell, but they do not take long to happen, and a struggle for life and death is frequently decided in half a minute. So it was with me. The instant the snake's body came over on my legs, I twisted aronnd, and sliced it with :the assegai. I gave two terrible gashes, and the, monster releasing his hold of my • leathers, sp_rung at-my face. I raised my arm instinctively .:to_ protect myself, which saved me from being bitten;; -but I was knocked down flat, and the tirutd was again on me ; but this time I caught him by the neck with my left hand, and in an instant had nearly severed his head with the assegai. I scrambled away from the monster, which was writhing about in its agony, and escaped from the hut. Then I began to examine how I had fared in the fight. To my surprise, I found that a few deep scratches near the ankle, and a bite near the wrist, neither of which was of great importance, were all the wounds which I had sustained. For some days afterwards, however, I suffered a great deal of pain in the legs, where the snake had pressed me. I do not think that I should have es caped to tell the tale, if I had not found the assegai, as the boa, although unwilling to attack you when he is in the open coun try is pugnacious enough when shut up with you in a circular hut about eight feet in diameter. We soon hauled the snake from the hut, when my Hottentot arrived, and found it measured twenty-eight feet in length, and nearly a foot in diameter in the thickest part. The Hottentot thought it must be that which he had seen, as its markings appeared the same. It was evi dent that the flood had driven the snake from its usual concealment in the reeds, and the animal finding a warm hut, in which were blankets and the remains of a fire, had taken up its position without ceremony, and had been probably much irritated at my sudden intrusion upon him. I never wish to have another such a battle for, although I should not be afraid of the result, still the thoughts which come upon us afterwards are not pleasant. Man has an instinctive horror of serpents, and when I dreamed, for many a night after wards, it was usually about a snake, or some other horrid reptile which had hold of me.—.ll Ranger's life in Sf rica.

D., 1859, being their Annual Meeting for the Election of In making up the report of. their process'ings, It affords the Directors great satisfaction to be enabled to inf rm the members of the Company that during the peat year, the losses sustained by the Company have been very small; so trifling, indeed, that there has been no necessity for levy ing any tax, during that period. This gratifying , circum stance, will be more particularly appregiated, when con treated with the severity of the preceding year, during which, the Directors were compelled' to levy. and collect three different taxes. So frequent and onerous were the contributions_ required, that some began to suspect that the increase of insurance Companies, in some way' led to the frequency of fires and that the more property- there was insured, tbernore thorewould probably be burnt. The experience of the "Farmers' Mutual Insurance Company," for the, year j net brought, to a close, haa fairly exploded a theory not founded in reason or sustained on philosophi. cal principles. The hand of the merciless incendiary, seems, for a time at least, to. have been stayed in this cinity, and the impending dread of unseen danger, no longer haunt' the peaceful citizen on retiring to his nightly repose. How this salutary effect ' has been attained, cannot be. readily explained. No one has been convicted of arson in our comity, but some who have been convicted and im prisoned for larceny, or other crimes of inferior grademay have been guilty of the more nefarious one of firing his neighbor's building. By some it is supposed that the rewards offerefty the County Commiasioners, and the Directors of the *Far mers' Mutual Insurance Company," has been the means of detering ill disposed persons from a further perpetration of those - deedi of villainy, that strike at the peace of Society, and spread ruin and desolation wherever they are develop ed. May we not indulge the hope that some who have been engage I in this nefarious business, may have become sensible of the enormity of their crimes, resolved to re form their lives, and abstain from the destruction of their neighbors' property in future. This would be the most charitable conclusion. and if correct, would be the beet safeguard for our future security. Recent events, however, disclose the. fact, that the ruthless Incendiary is still in the exercise of his diabolical vocation, and the lull that we have experienced, may be the precursor of a storm that may soon overwhelm us. The only lire of any consequence that occurred in prop erty Binned in this Company, was that of a small barn in Lancaster township, the property of Anthony Lump, which was burnt on the evening of the sixth of. August last.— How the, fire originated was not known. Several other fires occurred, which fortunately occasioned but a small amount of damages, which it is not deemed necessary to 'notice in this report. but are adverted to in the statement of the Treasurer. Although but a sniall amount of prop erty was destroyed during the year, a considerable amount of moneyhae been paid during that period, this was main ly for losses previously, sustained, that had not been paid at the date of the last report, and the money collected was for taxea'previonslY assessed, a portion of which still re mains unpaid and will be appropriated to the payment of the balance due to the Treasurer. The amount of prop erty insured in this Company during the peat year, has been steadily increasing, and, although a considerable amount appears to have been withdrawn, it has been greatly overbalanced by new accessions. The withdrawals, too, are more aprent than real, being in most cases oc casioned by a sale of the property or the decease of the owner, a great portion of which has been re-entered by the new proprietors. The voluntary withdrawals have been very few, a circumstance which indicates the confidence which the unblic reposes in the stability and utility of this institution. The whole number of policies issued during the year was 'one hundred and seventy-five (175) covering property val ued at $ 383,610 The additions made to old policies amount t 0.... 51,685 Making a total of $ 435,235 The number of policies cancelled was 79; the valuation of which amounted to $214,118 The diminutions on old policies amount to 20,445 Making an aggregate cancelled and with. drawn of $ 234,581 Which being deducted from the increSse, leaves an actual increase of two hundred thousand six hundred and seventy-four dollars To which, if we add the amount exhibited by the last report $4,447,258 We have au aggregate of $4,647,932 Over FOUR MILVONS AND AN HALF DOLLARS as the amount of property issued by the Farmer's Mutual Insurance Com pany, at this time.
