HE LEADSIJIS OWN "I will lead them in paths that they have not known."—lsaten 2 : 6. How few who, from their youthful day, Look on to what their life may be; Painting the visions of the way In colors soft, and bright, and free; How few who to such paths have brought The hopes and dreams of early thought! For Uod, through ways they have not known, Will lead his own. The eager hearts, the souls of fire, Who pant to toil for God and man, And view with eyes of keen desire The upland way of toil and pain ; Almost with scorn they think of rest, Of holy calm, of tranquil breast— But - God, through ways they have not known, Will lead his own. A lowlier task on them is laid— With love to make the labor light; And there their beauty they must shed On quiet homes, and lost to sight. Changed are their visions high and fair, Yet calm and still they labor there; Fur God, through ways they have not known, Will lead his own. The gentle heart, that thinks with pain, it scarce can lowliest tasks fulfil; And if it dared its life to scan, Would ask but pathway low and still ; Often such lowly heart is brought To act with powor,,beyond its thought ; For God, through ways they havo not known, Will lead his own. And they, the bright, who long to prove, In joyous path, in cloudless lot, How fresh from earth their grateful love Can spring without a stain or spot. Often such youthful heart is given The path of grief to walk to heaven; For Uod, through ways they hive not known, Will lead his own. What matter where the path may be! The end is clear, and bright to view, We know that we a strength shall see, Whate'er the day may bring to do. We see the end, the house of God, But not the path to that abode ; For God, through ways they have not known, Will lead his own. THE SECOND LOUISIANA AFTER BOKER—WITH A SLIGIIT VARIATION There, in the van of battle, Like dumb, driven cattle, stood the dusky f r eed -m en , That erst slaves had been ; Bayonets to the right of them, , Bayonets to the left of them— Bayonets close, in their rear— No wonder they trembled with fear, Death confronting them everywhere, No wonder that, toad with despair, They rushed so wildly to their graves, Those freed-men—no more to be slaves. "Now," the flag sergeant cried, " Though death and hell betide," Let the whole world see The damned hypocrisy Of Abolition infidelity; Let the whole world know That the Glad 8 basest f oe Seeks refuge /ram, the hattlestorms., Behind these freed men', dusky forms On, then, my comrades! never fail Before these blasts of iron hail ; Fur, if we must die thus, Let those who fain would save us Drive home the fatal dart To the poor black man's heart, And rid him of the misery Bedured by being " free." " Freedom !" your battle cry— Yes, freedom—TO DIE! This is the promise true The Northman gave to you, When at your cabin door lie said—" ye're slaves no more." "No more?" Ah, yes, slaves again To brutal, fiendish men ; Slaves to the conquering horde That frees you with the sword, To entail a fate e'en worse Than that of God's first curse. By hundreds fell these blacks, With bayonets at their backs; Sword and bayonet strong No more shall do them wrong. There let their dark forms lie, Past all their misery. Heaven shall their witness be To the foul treachery . Which has sot them " free " Free, FOR. ETERNITY. [Philadelphia Evening, jossrnal THE ARABIAN STEED. Ada was the daughter of a powerful rajah, who, in the reign of the Emperor Akbar, dwelt in a superb palace on the banks of the Jumna. The rajah was proud of his beautiful child and loved her, as far as his stern nature was susceptible of such a passion. But the duties of his situation and his warlike pursuits called him frequently from her; and much of the dark-eyed Hindoo's time was spent in dreary solitude amid the gardens of her father's palace. Beautiful as those gardens were, spark ling with gilded pavilions, the air cooled with silver fountains, and rendered fra grant by the odors of every rare plant, still this perpetual solitude wearied her, the society of her female attendants failed to interest her, and as she reclined be neath the pendent branches of a date tree, she sighed and felt more like a prisoner in a cage, than a princess in the pleasure garden of her palace. She had dismissed her attendants, and lay thoughtfully leaning her head upon her hand, when a rustling amid the branches of an orange tree attracted her attention, and she started to her feet in an instant with an exclamation of alarm and surprise, as she distinctly saw among the clustering leaves and blossoms, the bright eyes and dark glowing features of a man. The branches hastily parted, and a young Mohammedan, rushing forward, knelt before her. Who art thou ?' she exclaimed.— ' Mercy, mercy, I am defenceless—spare me !' g Mercy,' replied the Moor ; c'tis 1 must crave mercy of you; I am defence less, fair lady. lam at your feet, and in your power.' What brought you here she replied. 'Know you not the danger V A danger I have braved too often to heed it for an instant now.' Often ! What mean you ?' Daily at this hour, the hour of your solitary ramble, have I entered these gar dens—daily have I lurked behind the shrubs that surround your favorite bower —daily have I gazed on you unseen.' For what purpose 'My purpose ! madness—death !' Death ? to me, who never wronged you —who never injured a human being To you, lady—no, no—not to you ; I would not harm you for the world.' Death to whom, then V To myself.' Why—what brought you here 3' Accident, or perhaps idle curiosity first brought me here ; and I looked on you for the first time ; need I say why, daily, after I had once beheld yon, I came again ?' g Oh, if you are seen,' cried Ada, nothing can save you from my, father's rage; you know the barrier—the awful, impassable barrier—that divides your race from mine. Madman, begone !° The young Moor, whose face and form were such as might have been chosen by a sculptor who wished to represent the perfection of eastern beauty, spoke not, moved not; he continued kneeling before the agitated girl, while his Ilrk, brilliant eyes fixed upon her countenance, seemed eagerly to read its varying expression, that memory might have a store of ,sweet thoughts to live upon, when the reality should no longer stand before him. Ada could not bear the earnest gaze of those fond eyes ; where was her anger, her indignation at the intrusion of the stranger ? Gone ! She called not for her attendants ; no, she trembled lest they should come. 6 I await my doom,' at length muttered the intruder. I scorn to fly ;my dream of secret love is over ; my stolen watch ings, so dear, though so hopeless, are at an end ; you will call your father's guards, and I shall die.' --- No, no—you shall not die—not if Ada can save you ; I will not call them ; no, I dread their coming. Then you forgive my boldness?' 6 Yes—only begone—save yourself.' Shall we meet again 6 Never !' Then I will stay and die ; better to die here, at your command, in your pres ence, then to go hence and linger out a life of hopeless love, never beholding you again.' Poor Ada had never been before ad dressed in love's own language. Her hand had been sought by princes and nobles, who, secure in her father's sanc tion, had addressed her in terms cf ad miration, but whose looks and accents were cold and spiritless when compared wits the ardor of the youthful lover who knelt before her. For my sake, if not for your own, go,' she cried. Then we may meet again Yes, only leave m t e now ; you know not half your peril. To-morrow is the annual festival in honor of Vishnu ; shall be there; and will contrive to speak to you—hark !' She pointed to the orange trees. A footstep was heard at a distance. The Moor grasped her hand, pressed it to his lips, and was lost among the orange blos sotns just as the chief officer of the rajah entered the bower to inform Ada that her father desired her presence. She cast one anxious glance around her, breathed more freely when she found that her lover lay unsuspected in his fragrant ambush, and followed by her attendant, returned to the palace. There was no festival in Hindo stan so splendid as that celebrated annu ally in honor of Vishnu in the province over which the rajah governed. The gar dens on the banks of the Jumna were splendidly decorated for the occasion, and at noon were filled by crowds of persons, 'all eager in their various situations either to see or to be seen ; `?Co pay due rever ence to Vishnu, or to be duly reverenced. Kettle drums sounded, golden armor glistened, downy feathers waved in costly turbans ; cavaliers bearing si:ver battle axes rode proudly on their prancing milk white steeds, and princely ladies were borne in glittering palankeens on the backs of elephants. Ada was there, pale and sad ; her stolen, mysterious interview with her unknown lover, was so recent, so unexpected, so unlikely to end happily, that she lay on her rose-color cushions, fanned by her fa vorite slave. without taking the trouble to draw aside the amber curtains of her lit ter to look upon the festivities which sur rounded her. Toward evening the gardens were illu minated with thousands of many colored lamps ; she raised herself and lookea around her, but glancing hastily over bright vistas and radiant bowers,. her eyes rested on a wide-spreading tree beneath whose overshadowing branches a compara tively dark space remained. She there saw the form of her unknown lover; he was leaning against the tree, with his eyes fixed upon her; she told her slave with assumed levity that she had vowed to gather a cluster of the blossoms of that tree, alone to gather them, and desiring her to await her return, she hastened be neath the canopy formed by its boughs. Selim was indeed there. Speak not,' she earnestly whispered. I must not stay for an instant—l dare not listen to you—but mark my words, and if you love me obey them. I do not doubt your love, I do not doubt your constancy, but I shall appear to doubt both when you hear my request." Speak, lady, I will obey you,' said the Moor. Go,' whispered Ada, buy the swiftest of Arabian steeds, ride him across you plain three times in every day—in the morning, at noon, and in the evening ; and every time you ride him, swim the Jumna on his back.' Is that all 1' said Selim ; it shall be done.' It is all,' replied Ada ; to prove your love you will I know readily do it, but to prove your•constancy, or rasher to ensure our safety, it must be done three times every day for the space of one year !' A year !' Yes, and at the expiration of the year, at this festival, on this very day, if neither courage nor constancy have been wanting meet me again on this spot. I can wait for no reply—bless you, bless you.' Ada, with a few leaves of the tree in her trembling hand, hastened back to her palankeen, and Selim again, alone, gazed from his shadowy hiding place on the gay festival, in which his eyes beheld one form alone. How brief seems the retrospect of one year of happiness ! How sad, how interminable, seems the same space of time, in anticipation, when we know that at its close some long looked for bliss will be obtained—some cherished hope realized' Selim bought a steed, the whitest and the swiftest of the province, and he soon loved it dearly, for it seemed to be a living link connecting him with Ada. He daily three times traversed the val ley, and thrice he forded the deep and foaming river ; he saw not his love, he re ceived no token from her ; bat if his eyes did not deceive him, he occasionally saw a female form on the summit of her father's tower, and a snow-white scarf was some times waved as he speeded rapidly through the valley. To Ada the year passed slowly, anxious ly ; often did she repent of her injunction to the Moor, when the sky-was dark and stormy, and when the torrents from the "THAT COUNTRY IB THE MOST PROSPEROUS WEBER LABOR COMMANDS THI ORIATIST RIWARD."-BUCHANAR. LANCASTER CITY, PX., TUESDAY MORNING; JULY 14, 1863. mountains had rendered the Jamna im petuous and dangerous. Then on her knees on the rajah's tower, she would watch for her lover, dreading at one mo ment lest fear should make him abandon both her and the enterprise, and then praying that he might indeed forsake both, rather than encounter the terrors of that foaming flood ! Soon she saw him speed ing from the dark forest ; he plunged fear lessly into the river ; he buffeted with its waves ; he gained the opposite shore ; again and again she saw him brave the difficulty, again he conquered it, and again it was to be encountered. At length the annual festival arrived, the gardens were adorned with garlands, and resounded with music and gladness ; once more, too, Mira stood beneath the shadow of the wide spreading tree. He saw crowds assemble, but he heeded them not ; he heard the crash of the cym bals and the measured beat of the kettle drums. The rajah passed near him, with his officers and armed attendants, and these were followed by a troop of damsels; then came Ada the rajah's daughter. She was no longer the trembling, bashful girl ho had seen at the last festival. Proudly and self-possessed she walked the queen of the procession, her form glittering with a kingdom's wealth of diamonds. Selim's heart sunk within him. 'She is changed—she will think no more of me!' he involuntarily exclaimed. But at that moment her dark eye glanced toward his hiding-place. She spoke to her attendants, and the procession paused as she approached the tree alone, and affected to gather some of its leaves. 6 Are you faithful ?' said she, in a low tone ; nay, I wrong you by the question ; I have seen that you are so ; if you have courage, as you have constancy, you are mine, and I am yours—hush—where is, your steed?' Selim held its bridle rein. Then in your hinds I place my happi ness,", she added ; these gems shall he our wealth, and your truth my trust— away ! away !' Selim in an instant bore Ada to the back of his Arabian, and ere the rajah and his attendants were aware she had quitted the cavalcade, swift as the wind he bore her from the gardens. The pursuit was instantaneous, and ut tering curses and indignant reproaches, the rajah and a hundred of his armed fol lowers were soon close at the heels of the fugitives. Follow ! follow !' cried the foremost, we gain upon them, we will tear her from the grasp of the Mohammedan. They ap proach the river's bank ! and turbulent as it now is, after the storm of yesterday, they will either perish in,its waters, or we shall seize them on its brink.' Still they gained upon them ; the space between the pursuers and pursued became smaller and smaller, and the recapture of Ada seemed certain. When lo! to the astonishment of those who followed him, Selim's well-trained steed plunged into the foaming torrent, battled bravely with its waves, bore his burthen safely through them, and bounding up the opposite bank, continued his flight! The pursuers stood baffled on the river's bank ; their horses having been trained to no such feat as that they had just witness ed, it would have been madness to have plunged amid the eddying whirlpools of the swollen Jumna. Every tale should have its moral. What then will be said of mine, which records the triumph of a disobedient child in a secret, unauthorized attachment 2 A tem porary triumph which so rarely leads to happiness'. For this part of my story I have no apology to offer butfrom the lit tle history of Selim and Ada, this small grain of moral inference may be extracted: Ladies will do well to try the integrity and prove the constancy of their lovers ere they marry; and lovers should endure trials and delays with fortitude, and thus provo the unchanging truth of their affec tion. Pretty Incident. We have heard of a very pretty little incident the other day, which we cannot help relating. A young lady from the North, it seems, was wooed and won by a youthful physician, living in California. when the engagement was made, the doc tor was rich, having been very successful at San - Francisco. It had not existed six months, however, when by an unfortunate investment, he lost the entire , g heap." This event came upon him, it should .be added, just as he was making ready to come and claim his bride. What does he do Why, like an honorable, chivalrous young fellow like he is, he sits down and writes the lady every particular of the un happy turn which had taken place in his fortunes, assuring her that if the effect produces any change in her feeling towards him, she is released from every promise she had made to him. And what does the dear, good girl dill Why she takes a lump of pure gold, which her lover had sent her when in prosperity, as a keepsake, and having it manufactured into a ring, forwards it to him, with the following bible inscription, engraved in distinct characters on the outside : 6‘ Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee ; for whither thou guest, I will go ; and where thou lodgest, 1 will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God ; where thou diest will I die, and there will I be buried; the Lord do so to me and more also, if aught but death part thee and me." The lover idolized his sweetheart more than ever when he received this precious• evidence of her devotion to him, both in storm and sunshine. We may add that fortune soon again smiled upon the young and ardent physician, and that he subse quently returned to the North, to wed the sweet girl he loved, and who loved him with such an undying affection. Nay, more, the happy bride and bridegroom passed through our city, not long since, on their way to the home of the latter in the golden State. Reader, this is all true. Young ladies who read the bible as closely as the heroine of our incident seems to have done, are pretty sure to make good sweet hearts, and better wives. 7 --Citurch's .Ba zarre. Aunt E. was trying to persuade little Eddy to retire at sundown; You see, my dear - how the little chickens go to roost at that time.' g Yes, aunty,' replied Eddy, but the old hen goes with them.' Aunty tried no more arguments with him. Concerning Husbands! A correspondent who writes a most dainty band, thus sends us her Hints' • upon the,important subject Though I cannot boast that interesting possession—a husband—and must, there fore speak from observation rather than experience, yet I trust a few hints, sug gested by the study of the habits and characteristics of husbands generally, may not be wholly inappropriate. In my wanderings up and down the world, I have encountered a great variety of _curious specimens, which have interest ed me not a little in a zoological point of view. I have observed that husbands, in the main, are very harmless animals, if properly managed. There is, perhaps, no animal in existence that requires so much skill and tact in the management as a hus band ; for these 'lords of creation' be come quite obstreperous and unmanagea ble as soon as they begin to suspect any design to control them. They have a particular aversion to the sway of woman —that is when it becomes apparent., In timate, for instance, that they are under woman's control,' and they will bristle up indignantly, as though it were an insult to their manhood. They are docile enough, so long as there is no appearance 'of con trol ; but once show them the reins of government, and they will resist you with all the obstinacy of their nature. The woman who would live in harmony with her spouse, must study his nature and disposition. She must not cross his temper, nor assume authority, and presume to dictate, for there is nothing that so ex asperates the spirit of a man that is a man, as any attempt to trespass upon his pre rogative. She must gracefully concede his lordship, and pay it all due respect and reverence ; then, if she possess the magnet of his affections, she may lead him whichsoever way she wills. Woman's power lies in her affections ; and love, when judiciously exercised, the husband cannot resist—except perchwe he par take of the nature of the bear, and is im pervious to the influence of the tender passion. . . . Another chief requisite in the man agement of a husband, is a genial, cheer fu nature ; for if he have not sunshine in his home, he will be a gloomy fellow, cross and surly beyond endurance. In order to make him a pleasing object of contempla tion or companionship, he must be kept in good humor by the enlivening influence of a cheerful home. His physical wants must also be stunted. One of the best recipes for a: good-natured husband is palatable, digestible food ; sour nature is oftentimes the result of bad digestion. Keep the digestive appar atus in a healthy condition, and you may be pretty sure of a pleasant face and a kindly greeting. Give a man a miserable breakfast, and you will be quite sure to have a miserable companion-for the day. It is most astonishing how much cheer there is in a good cup of coffee and a nice bit of toast ! A man may live on love for a time, but he soon finds it rather an in sipid article of diet, if not combined with something more substantial. Depend upon it, wholesome food and a well-ordered house lie at the foundation of domestic felicity. Show me the man that can be illqtatured when he comes home to a cheerful fireside, where the smiling wife awaits his arrival, with gown and slippers and a comfortable supper, and I will show you a genuine specimen of a bear ! Another hint I would suggest to wives, is that they may look well to the condition of their husband's shirt buttons. No man can keep his temper over a buttonless shirt; he can bear the loss of a fortune with a better grace than the loss of a shirt button. Why, I have seen dignified clergymen fly into such a passion over the loss of a button, as quite effectually to con vince one, of their infirmities as mortals ; a so slight thing may disturb the , equilib i , rium of a great man for a whole day. Men cannot bear petty vexations and inconveniences; they have not patience and endurance; therefore I would counsel all wedded ladies, who would live in com fort with their lords, to avoid unnecessary occasions of irritation and dissatisfaction. JEAN. Courtship. Falling in love is an old fashion, and one that will yet endure. Cobbet, a good sound Englisnman, twitted Malthus the anti-population writer with the fact that, do all he could, and all that government could—ay, all that twenty thousand gov ernments could—he could not prevent courting and falling in love. Between fifteen and twenty-two,' said he, all peo ple will fall in love.' Shakspearo pushes out this season to the age of forty-five.— Old Burton, writing on love-melancholy, gives us a still further extension of the lease ; and certainly there be old fools as well as young fools.' But no one is absolutely free from the universal passion. The Greek epigram on the statue of Cupid which Volaire, amongst a hundred of others, has happily produced, is perfectly true : Whoe'er thou art7thy master see! Who was, or is, or is to bo." Probably no one escapes from the pas sion. We find in trials and in criminal history that the quaintest, quietest of men, the molt outwardly saintly, cold, stone like beings, have had their moments of intense love madness. Luckily love is as lawful as eating, when properly indulged in. Cobbet tells us how an English yeoman lovedand courted, and how he was loved in return, and a prettier episode does not exist in the English language. Talk not of private memoirs of courts—the gossip of the cottage is worth them all. Cobbet, who was a sergeant major in a regiment of foot, fell in love with the daugter of a sergeant of artillery, then in the same prov ince of New Brunswick. He had not passed more than an hour in her company, when, noticing her modesty, her quietude, and her sobriety, he said, That is the girl for me. The next morning he was up early, and almost before it was light passed the sergeant's house. There she was on the snow scrubbing out a wash-tub. That's the girl for me,' again cried Cobbet, 'al though she *as not more than fourteen, and he was nearly twenty-one. From the day -I first spoke to her,' he writes' , I had no more thought, of her being the wife of any other man than I had of her becoming a: chest of drawers.' He paid every attention to . her, and, young as' she was, treated her with all confidence. He spoke to her as his friend, his second self. But in six months the artillery were order ed to England, and her father with them. Here was indeed a blow. Cobbet knew what Woolwich . was, and what temptation a young and pretty girl would be sure to undergo. _ , He therefore took to her his whole for- I tune, one hundred and fifty guineas, the savings of his pay and overwork, and wrote to tell her that if she did not find her place comfortable to Lake lodgings, and put herself to school, and not to work too hard, for he .would be home.. in two years. ' Bat,' as he says, 6 . as-the malig nity of the devil would have.:it;*we were kept abroad two, years longer than our time, Mr. Pitt having knocked up a dust : with Spain about Nootka Sound. 0, how I cursed Nootka Sound, and poor bawling Pitt !' But at the end of four years Cob 'bet got his discharge. He found his little girl a servant of all work, at five pounds a year, in the house of a Captain Brig= ; and without saying a word4bout the matter, she put into his hands the whole of the hundred and fifty guineas unbroken! • What a pretty, tender picture is that! —the young sergeant, and the little girl of eighteen, who had kept for four years the treasure untouched, waiting with pa tience her lover's return ! What kindly pure trust on both sides ! The historical painters of our Royal Academy give us scenes from English history of intrigue and bloodshed. Why can they ;not give us a scene of true English courtship like that '? gobbet, who knew how to write sterling English better than any man of his own day, and most men of ours, does not forget to enlarge upon the scene, and dearly he loved his wife for her share of it ; but ho does not forget to add that with this love was mixed ' self-gratulation on this indubitable%proof of the soundness of his own judgment.' • The Breaking of an Egg. A young couple had passed the first few weeks of their marriage at the honse of a friend. Having at length occupied their new home, they were taking their first breakfast, when the following scene took place : The young husband was innocently opening a boiled egg in an egg cdp. The bride observed that he was breaking the shell at what she thought the wrong end. How strange it looks' said she, ' to see you break your egg at the small end, my dear ! No one else does so ;it looks so ; odd.' 4" Oh, I think it is quite as good, in fact better than breaking it at the large end, my love 3 for when you break the large end the egg runs over the top,' replied the husband. But it looks so very odd when no one else does so,' rejoined the wife. 'Well, row, 1 really do think it is not a a nice way you have got of eating an egg. That dipping strips of bread and butter into an egg certainly is not tidy. But I do not object to your doing as you please, if you will let me break my egg at the small end,' retorted the husband. lam sure my way is not eso bad as eating fruit pie with a knife, as you do, in stead of using a fork ; and you always eat syrup as if you were not. accustomed to have such things. You really do not see how very bad it looks, or I am sure you would not do so,' added the wife. 4 The syrup ismade to be eaten with the pie ; and why should I send it away on the plate asked the husband. No well bred persons ever clear their plates as if thr were starved,' said the bride, with a ,;ontemptuous cast of her head. 4 Well, then, I am not a well-bred per son,' rhplied the husband, angrily. But you must be, if we are .to live comfortably together,' was the•sli - 6.rp an swer of the fastidious lady. Well, I must break my egg at the small end, so it does not signify ; and I must also eat the syrup.' 4 Then I will not have either fruit-pie or eggs at the table.' But I will have them,' petulantly ex claimed the husband. Then I wish I had not married you,' cried the young wife, bursting into tears. g And so do I, added the now incensed husband, as he rose and walked out of the room. This domestic quarrel was followed by others equally trifling in their origin, and disgraceful in their character, until the silly couple made themselves so disagree able to each other that their home became unendurable, and they separated. A QUAKERESS ON CRINOLINE.—SQUIB person (a man we suppose) published a communication over the signature of Ruth,' attacking crinoline. A very pret ty Quakeress replies to the strictures, and says :—I would beg thee to show me a more forlorn, hopeless looking creature than a hoopless woman. Didst ever notice one hie along the street like an anointed package of contraband goods, endeavoring to run the gauntlet of inspection 1 Behold how her robe clings to and caresses her mud-clogged heels, colapsing with every motion like a broken-springed, rain drenched umbrella. Does she enchant thee with adoring love?" Does she not rather look as if she had come from the shivering top of the North pole, or just em erged from the South? Why, even the boys and puppies treat her with contempt uous satire. And where is the grace of carriage, and ease of gait, that dignifies and distsnguishes those of the 'skeleton?' persuasion? Beside, what more', is needed to prove the undeniable value of expan sions than their adoption and wear by many of our serious sect, who are never known to change the mode of our gar ments 0, 4 Ruth,' thou art no Ruth, but a masculine miscontent, hiding for the nonce behind thy wife's coatapet, because, forsooth, she asked thee for a new ' cage,' and the request pinches thy pocket. Now, let me advise thee, don that coatapet mi nus the wires, also thy wife's wrapper, just to see how nice thee will feel with thy feet hampered and muffled in the tangling skirts of a gown. I think, too, thee might take a stroll on the shore,Where the wind can have a fling at the cumbersome dra pery. 1 trust thee will be by thattim e quite cured of anti-hoopopathy, and per fectly ready to.enthrorte Queen Crinoline. Moliere was asked.the reason why, in certain countries, the king may assume the crown, fourteen years of age, and cannot marry, - before eighteen It is,' answered Mdlitirg' 3 because it is more difficult to rule a wife than a kingdom. At a country town, one Sunday evening, fatigued with his long journey, a - wagoner, with his son John, drove his team into a good range, and - determined to pass the Sabbath enjoying a season of worship with the good folks of the When the time for worship arrived, John was sent to watch the team, while the wag oner wen tin the with crowd. The preacher had hardly announced his subject before the old. man fell sound asleep. He sat against the partition in the .centre of the body slip;. just or ;against him, separated only by a very lou' t partition, sat a fleshy lady, who seemed all absorbed in the ser mon. Shestruggled hard with her feel ings, but unable to control them any long er, she burst out with a loud scream, and shouted at the top of her - voice, arousing the old man, who, but half awake, threw his arms round her waist, and cried, very soothingly : Whoa, Nancy! whoa, Nancy ! Here John,' calling to his son, cut the belly-band and loosen the breeching ; quick or she'll tear everything!' 0* Conversation is a sort of grand re view of our intellectual powers, and we canhot be too careful how we muster and marshal them. Some men's army seems entirely made up of musicians : their talk is one burst of fancy and rhapsody ; others all artillery ; they speak in words hard as cannon-balls,' however trivial may be the subject of discourse. He is judicious who sets out his army in such a way that the forces—heavy horse or light foot— come up as they are wanted, and retire gracefully when thy are no longer requir ed. With the first cry of pain, the pleas ant little band of pipers that good humor has always in -control, should be set to work, and the wounded should be borne from the field witout the slightest word of exultation from the victors. In begin ing the contest, we should follow the ex ample of the French soldiers at Fontinbras, who, with a beautiful politeness, called upon their enemies to fire first. In a town in Connecticut resides a man who made a fortune in the milk busi ness by not giving full measure. As he grew rich, he thought he would change his occupation to something more respectable, and accordingly bought a grist-mill. In conversation with his wife he said he did not feel right about the cheating which he had practised in the milk business, and wished some way could be devised where by be could repay in the grist-mill what he had cheated in the other. At last they settled on the following plan, which was to have the measures made which they took toll with as much too large as the milk measures were too small. 11:' Willie, who is just entering upon his fourth winter, had very attentively watched one of his sisters dressing for an evening party; and as it was summer time, and fashionable, the dress did not conic up as far on the neck as W die's idea of propriety suggested. lie went to her wardrobe, and in a moment came back; pulling a close-fitting basque after him, when the following conversation ensued Sister—' What is that for ?'

AN AWKWARD MISTAKEI.-A fine stone church was lately built in Missouri, upon the facade of which a stone-cutter was or dered to cut the following as an inscrip tian ,My house shall be called the house of prayer.' He was referred, for accuracy, to the verse of Scripture in which these words occur; but unfortunately, to the scandal of the society, he transcribed the whole verse— , My house shall be called the house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves.' TT - Old folks become preoise and meth odical, because, feeling that life is draw ing toward its close, they desire to make the best of the remnant that is left, and the most of everything they do. Youth thinks it has so groat a future before it, and plans so many grand achievements for the coming 4 morrow,' that the common duties of the day are quickly and slight ingly discharged. A woman's mission, as the world goes, is to make home happy ; a man's to find the means wherewith she may do it. Woman's work should be, as woman was herself, the completion of all labor. From her must come those final touches and culminating graces which make a dinner of herbs a pleasant banquet, and a cottage starred over with jessamine, a place of con tentment. A MOTHER'S AFFECTION.—A writer beautifully remarks that a man's mother is the representative of his Maker. Mis fortune and more crime set no barriers be tween her and her son. While his mother lives a man has one friend, on earth who will not desert him when ho is needy.— Hor affection flows from a pure fountain, and ceases only at the ocean of eternity. A venerable lady in her hundredth year •lost her daughter, who attained the good old age of eighty. The mother's grief was great; and to a friend who came to condole with her, she remarked, Oh, dear! I knew I should, never be able to raise that child !' TILE LANCASTER INTELLIGENCER JOB PRINTING ESTABLISHMENT, No. 8 NORTH DUKE STREET, LANCASTER, PA.

B. kiniummt—Rir : About Christmast, my youngest daughter, a girl of fifteen years of ago, was attacked—with paralysis, which confined her to her bed, where she lay perfectly helpless and suffering the greatest pain. I pro. cured the attendance of our medical men.lp the neighbor hood, hut, In spite of their best efforts, ehe grew daily wore.. and worse. She was so helpless that it was impossi ble for her to sit up, even when propped by pillows, for when, to ease her, we would raise her up, she would fall over backwards, or lie on one side or the other, and Indeed had no strength or power or control over her motions at all. On the 213th of last month, by the advice of Henry Minnich, I uone to see you, and, from what you told me, I concluded to try your Herb Bitters. I took a bottle oat home with me. and my daughter commenced taking it. She has used that bottle, and the effect is so great that I want to take out soma more with me, and I am confident now that what you told me was perfectly .true, and that my daughtei will shortly bo entirely recovered. She is now able to leave her bed, and can sit in a common chair, and eon stand on her feet, without any paint she can raise her bands to her head, and remains out of bod most of the day. I am .pleased with the effects of your medicine that there is nothing I would not give to procure it. You may use this as you please, for I think that so good a medicine should be known everywhere.
