Sweet month, the fairest oLtho Spring! A maiden mild, with smiling face, Unto thy pleasures fond, we cling, And revel in thy loved embrace. Cold were our hearts, and sod os cold, Ere thou did’at come to warm and bless Our souls to kindlier feelings mould,— With balmy lips our brows to press! The music of thy gladsome voice Is heard throughout the boundless air It makes the saddened heart rejoice, And stills the murmurs of despair. We wander where the streamlets flow In gladness toward th i mighty sea, Or where the gentle flowers grow Upon the fair and sunny lea ( Sweet May, thy presence bright, doth bring A memory fond and dear to me, When my young heart was ip. its spring, And filled with Love’s soft melody. Oh, then, thy birds and flowers did seem To me, both doubly sweet and fair! Life was a sweetly ’wildering dream, Unmlred with sadness, pain or care. I deemed not then, this heart would bend Beneath Btern sorrow’s rugged sway, Or care Its cheerless presence lend To drive my blissful hopes away. Fond dreams, which then had filled my soul With new-born hopes and visions bright, Gave place ’neath Time’s unceasing roll To real day scenes, strlpt of light. Fair May, though thou raay’st kindly still Upon my pathway radlauco stream, My heart thou can’st not always fill With Hope's eternal, sunny beam ! Thou'rt come again, us angels come Sometimes, to bless us in our sleep; And whisper of a glorious Home, Where hearts shall ne’er grow sad, or weep. There reigns a bright, celestial May ; There love and faith no longer riven Impart a sweet, continuous ray, And fill with light the realms of Heaven. Lancaster, May 2&1,18GU. ptmwj. Female licauty. BY A I’RKTTY WOMAN I have often wondered why there were no pretty woman nowadays, while every past age can boast of its Helens. Our generation may number many pret ty faces, but it is the only one among the thousands already counted in the past that has no beauties whose names shall descend imperishahly in time to come. We can hardly open a page of history which does not record the fame of some beauty ; the Bible and its .Rachel, who was so lovely that twenty years of ser vice was deemed a light fee for her af fections ; the world was lost for Cleo patra; the beautiful mistresses of French kings ruled that empire through the hearts of their imperial lovers, and even down to the time of George the Fourth of England, there has always been some lady whose charms have been more powerful than the monarch and prime ministers. But I think the problem may be solved. It is the difference in dress—costume does it all. Revive the robingof bygone ages, and you will revive all the beauty and the ugliness of those days; for there must have been a good deal of ugliness, otherwise the beauty would not have so forcibly appreciated. Had there been more pretty girls in the days of Troy, Helen would have had few suitors, and Ilium might have keen standing yet- What I mean to say is this : in those days people dressed so unless their features were almost perfect they were literally nothing. All the minor graces which set off a mediocre person now were perfectly* unvaliable under the system of costume. .But imagine for a moment all your acquaintances dressed in this way. Would not the majority be frightful? How few faces and complexions could stand that, binding back of the hail; hdw few forms could show beneath the simple robe, without stays of stiff petti coats ; how few feet would he endurable in scandals ; how few arms would bear the noon-day suns and the sharp winds, which would soon turn them to the pattern and form of a washer-woman’s! Perhaps the old Jewish costume worn by Rebecca and Rachel may have been a shade better, but there was the same exposure of neck and arms, with the additional disadvantages of a robe that showed .a leg encased in hideous hose and boots, and that refused to sweep with Grecian amplitude around the limbs of the fair wearer. Cleopatra, who is represented, as being both dark and stout, could wear only the robes of white and purple, and the heavy diadem of strings of pearls that were allotted as the garb of Egyptian princes. How darkand uncomely must have been the majority of her country men may be judged from the sensation she made. The Homan ladies were famed for their stately carriage and somewhat large but noble features; and when to these charms they added regu larity, delicacy and a beautiful color, no doubt their simple, cpen, coquettish style of dress was very becoming to them ; but without the latter qualifica tion, how gaunt and coarse they must have appeared. As we descend the stream of time, the number ofcelebratedbeauties decreases; this we may attribute to the increasing Knowledge of dress and different com plexions ; bad figures and irregular fea tures begin to have something like fair play shown them. Exigencies of per sons meet with some assistance from costumes, and in like degree as the plain women were made to appear less plain, were the beauties rendered less prominent, and the dlstanco between the two parties lessened. I Still, we heard of some so strikingly 'lovely as to be known to all the world by the fame of their eye only; of those we may name '‘Edith of the Swan neck," so called from the brilliant whiteness of a skin capable of resisting the exposure to tliesunaud wind which’ tanned and freckled into frightfulness the queens and lofty ladles of those ruddy days; Rosamond the fair—so fair that It was said of her, "none but a jealous and exasperated woman could have harmed her." Beatrice Cend, whose beauty makes one shudder, so mysterious Beems the light In those large nnd untroubled eyes, soon to close beneath the pressure of so awful a fate, Lucretia Borgia, " her of the angel face and demon heart;” Mary, of Scotland, whom no man beheld without loving, and some few others, until we reached that famous trio of beauties recorded in the letters of Horace Walpole, qs the loveliest women of their time, the Misses Gunning. There is something strangely sad In the account of the death of another of the sisters, Ludy Clventry, who per ished of consumption while in the' highest pride of youth and beauty. She 1b recorded as patiently awaiting the approach of death—her mirror her constant companlon-ras scaroely ever removing her eyes from the reflection of her own face, ana as bewailing only the too early Extinction of beauty worthy of Immortality. At a later time, when the names of some favorite beauties are recorded, the costume, totally different, was so lild- Lancaster fwMtipriM VOLUME 67. eous that no one could wear It with im punity ; hence the high reputation for beauty of Pauline Bonaparte and Mad ame Recamier. The former is repre" sented as appearing at a party given by her brother, in a tunic of white muslin reaching a little bejow the knee, and commencing far below the shoulders, the waist exceedingly short, and bound rwith a narrow girdle; her small beau tiful feet were encased in sandals, while a mantle of leopard skin hung, around the form of Canova’s fairest model. Nowadays the toilet of a lady is exactly conducted upon the principles most be coming to all; few figures look ill in the sweeping robes and lengthened corsage, which are ample and stately without stiffness. Ankles, however thick, are concealed by the long dress now the mode. .Features, however coarse, can be softened and shaded into something like symmetry by the judicious arrange ment of the hair, which fashion permits to be worn in bands, braids, rolls, or ringlets, just as best suits the faces they surround. And while no arbitrary fashion forces the exposure of a frightful profile, a clumsy arm, or a ponderous ankle, no rule exists to prevent the reverse of these being shown. Every lady is at perfect liberty to bring out her several good points, as she may think best; and it is very easy to do so as well as to con ceal her weak ones, without departing from tlie fashions that prevail. The Manners of the Mother Mould the There is no disputing this fact ; it shines in the face of every little child. The coarse, bawling, scolding woman, willhavecoarse, vicious, bawling, fight ing children. She who cries on every occasion “I’ll box your ears—l’ll slap your jaws—l’ll break your neck,” is known as thoroughly through her children is if her unwomanly mannars were openly displayed in the public streets ! These remarks were suggested by the conversation in an omnibus —that great institution for the students of men and manners—between a friend and aschool master. Our teacher was caustic, mirth ful, and sharp. His wit flashed like the polished edge of a diamond, and kept the “bus” in a “roar.” The entire community of insiders — and whoever is intimate with these conveyances can form a pretty good idea of our numbers—inclusive of the “one more” so well known to the fra ternity, turning their heads, eyes, and ears one way, and finally our teacher said: “I can always tell the mother by the boy. The urchin who draws back with doubled fist and lunges at his playmate if he looks at him askance has a very questionable mother. She may feed him and clothe him, cram him with sweet meats, coax him with promises, hut if she gets mad she fights. She will pull him by the jacket; she will give him a knock in the back ; she will drag him by the hair; she will call him all sorts of wicked names, while passion plays over her red face in lambent flames that curl and writhe out at the corners of her eyes. “And we never see the courteous lit- tie fellow with smooth locks and gen tle manners—in whom delicacy does not detract from courage or manliness, but we say that boy’s mother is a true lady. Her words and ways are soft, loving and quiet. If she reproves, her language is ‘my son’—not ‘you little wretch—you plague of my life—you torment —you scamp!’ “She hovers before him as a pillar of light before the wandering Israelites, and her beams are reflected in his face. To him the word mother is synonymous with everything pure, sweet and beauti ful. Is he an artist? In after life that which with holy radiance shines on his canvas, will be the mother-face. Who ever flits across his path with sunny smiles and soft, low voice, will bring ‘mother’s’ image freshly to his heart. ‘She is like my mother,’ will be the highest meed of his praise. Hot even when the hair turns silver and the eye grows dim, will the majesty of that life and presence desert him. “ But the ruffian mother —alas, that there are such !—will form the ruffian character of the man. He in turn will become a merciless tyrant, with a tongue sharper than a two-edged sword, and re membering the brawling and,the cuffing, seek some meek, gentle victim for the sacrifice, and make her his wife, with the condition that he shall be master. And the master he is for a few sad years, when he wears a widower’s weed till he finds a victim 1 number two.’ ’’ We wonder not that there are so many awkward, ungainly men in society— they have all been trained bywomeu’.who knew not nor cared for thej holy nature of their trust. They had been made bit ter to the heart’s core, and that bitter" ness will find vent and lodgment some where. Strike the infant In anger, and he will, if he cannot reach you, vent his passion by beating the floor, the chair, or any inanimate thing within reach. Strike him repeatedly, and by the time he wears slices, he will have become a bully, with hands that double for fight as naturally especial pains had been taken to teach him the art of boxing. Mothers remember that yourmanners mould the child. Who will not say that mothers .ought not to be thoroughly educated whether our sons are or not. It Is a Pity to Throw Away that Shilling.” A young man In England having en- tertalned a tender passion for a young woman, felt such insurmountable diffi dence as to prevent his ever disclosing the same to the fair empress of his heart, and resolved on an expedient which would bring the business to an Issue. He wcntto the clergyman and requested the buns of marriage might be published according to law. When the publica tion was brought to her ears, she was filled with astonishment, and went to him to vent her resentment. He bore’ lie sally with fortitude, observing that, If.she did not think proper to have him, she could go to tjho clergyman and for bid the bans. After n moment’s pause, she took wit In her anger, and said, “As- It has been done, It Is a pity that the shilling should be thrown away.” A base Pointedly Stated. A clergyman, who was once charged with having violently dragged his wife, from a rovlvnl meeting, and compelled! her to go home with him, let the stoiy run till he had a fair opportunity tx> give it a broadside, saying: “In tlh» first place, I never attempted to Influ ence my wife in her views, nor her ohoice of a meeting. Seoondly, my wife has not attended any of the re vival meetings. In the third place-, I have not attended any of the meetings, for.any purpose whatever. To conclude —neither my wife nor myself have any inclination to go to these meettaas. , Finally, I never had a wife!” 8 Shell-Anna—Born and Christened on the Battlefield. Correspondence of the Madison (Wls.) State It was during the celebrated flank movement of Sherman from Atlanta to Jonesboro. The day before we got to Flint River we had been having aright lively little cavalry fight for about Bix miles, when the enemy got a good posi tion. forming a line of battle, and posted a battery upon a rise of ground that was annoying us considerably. Gen. Logan, in order to silence their guns, brought up a light battery of twenty-four pound brass Napoleons, which soon quieted their clamor, and the whole line mov ing forward compelled the rebels to fall back toward the Flint. The whole country here was thickly wooded, and in many places a dense thicket, there fore the only guide our gunners could get in order to make their shots effec- tive was the flash and smoke of the enemy’s guns through the timber, and of the course of their projectiles. After the Johnnies had fallen back, and we were pushing our column forward, it was my fortune that day to be riding with Dr. "Woodward, Medical Inspector of the 15th corps. We passed in front of the spot where our bifttery had been stationed, and just doubled a point of timber, when we came suddenly upon asmall house, and for that country very neatly inclosed with a “stake” fence; but what attracted our attention was a yellow cloth hanging on one pt the shrubs in the yard. I satjl to the doc tor, “Halloa, there is fin improvised hospital; let us halt. There is possibly some wounded reb there.” Upon which we rode the cabin. Hearing the tramping of horses, an elderly woman made her appearance at the door. — Recognizing us as Yankees, she re treated. We called to her and asked if she had any wounded rebs in the house. On being answered in the negative, we asked why she had that yellow flag out. “Why, yersee, stranger, my darter is sick, and I sorter reckoned you’ns wouldn’t pester her, if ye seed thatthar flag.” The house, completely hidden among the thick growth of timber, happened to be in direct range of our battery, and the cabin itself, and the surrounding out-buildings, had been bit no less than six times, the short action, but fortunately fto one was hurt about the place. “Whatis the matter with your daugh ter?” we asked. “We are surgeons, and perhaps we can do something for •her.” “ Wal, now, if ye are doctors jest ye come ’long in au’ look.” We dismounted and entered the cabin. The woman went to the bed, which was posted in the centre of the room, and turning down the sheet displayed to our astonished vision, lying upon the clay colored mother, a small specimen of boiled lobster looking humanity, about afootandahalf long, evidently astrang er to the country and surroundings, whose span of life could only be meas ured by minutes, it having not yet lived an hour. “ Jist ye look thar, stranger; see what you’ns all did with your shellin’ and shootin’ right through the house,” and pointing to two shot holes in the logs over the head of the bed, remarked: “ Right when my gal was the sickest, then two of you’ns cannon balls come clar through the house, kiverin’ the bed all over with splinters and pine knots. I tell yer, stranger, it was right skeerv for-a spell.” In answer to ourinquiries, the woman informed us that the young stranger belonged to the “sex divine.” So we asked her if she would like to have it christened. “Which ?” said she. We explained as well as possible the signification of the term christen. “Oh, yaas ; I reckon I would like to have it baptized, if you’s gotany preach er ’long with yer?” We sent an orderly back to one of the Indiana regiments which boasted a chaplain, and he was Boon on the ground. We explained to him what was expected, and he, nothing loth, commenced services. The General commanding the brigade, getting wind of the matter, came up, and together with some of his staff, were mustered as witnesses, Dr. W. and the subscriber acting as sponsors. The child was christened Shell-Anna. Sardines, The loverß of the “ little fishes biled In ile,” should know that the fish which furnishes them with such a deli cious repast, belongs to the herring .family. The popular name was given to it by Cuvier, the first to assign it to a distinct place in the finny tribe. He called it sardina; from whicli it is known as the sardine. Sardines are caught principally along the coast of Brittany, and to a less extent in Portu gal. The fisheries employ a large num ber of men and women. The fishing vessels—generally of eight or ten tons each, and carrying a crew of from six to ten—go out two or three leagues from land to the schools of fish. When they see them, they spread their gill-nets for (kern, and scatter on the water the bait wiilch has been prepared, and which consists of the eggs and flesh of fish, especially of cod and mackerel, and sometimes of salted fish. Large quanti ties of sardines are taken In this way. Some are salted on board, and others are carried on Bhore, and either sold fresh, or prepared for shipment. For the latter purpose, they are salted and packed away in tin cans, with melted butter and olive oil, whicli are poured upon tliem in an almost boiling state The cans are sealed up, to prevent the air reaching the fish; they are then ready for shipment. The sales in Europe are very great, as the fish are there considered a great delicacy, and large shipments are annually made to America, where they are no less es teemed than In Europe. Early Rising. Early rising gives long days, invigo rating light In abundance, and healthy cheeks. This beautiful passage from Bulwer’s Caxtons, is worthy ofperpetual remembrance: “I was always an early riser. Happy the man who Is ! Every morning comes to him with a virgin’s love, full of bloom and purity and freshness. The gladness of a happy child. I doubt If anyman can be called “ old” as long as he lean early rlserand an early walker.

Wonderful Peats of a Prisoner. The prisoners confined in the jail at Mobile made an attempt to escapelately, but were discovered in time to prevent any of them getting off. The two ring leaders, Hudson and Boone, were put in irons. Captain Petty, Chief of the Mobile Police, and the reporter of the Register paid the jail a visit, on learning that Boone could not be kept ironed. The Register thus tells the story: In one of the corner cells, on the first floor, is confined the noted young Boone, alias Monroe, a handsome laa of about eighteen years. He was the first one released by Hudson on Mon day night, and took the keys, after which he opened all the cells on the first and second floors. After the prisoners had been secured and their efforts thwarted, /he sheriff and jailor at once placed Hudson and Boone in irons, hands and feet. It was soon afterward discovered that young Boone had thrown off the irons. He was taken out and heavily ironed again, the shackles and chains having been increased. In less than five minutesafterwardstbejailor peeped into his ceil and saw all the cuffs, shackles and chains lying on the floor of the cell and young Boone sitting on his bed as if he had done nothing. Six different times did they place his limbs in irons, and the strongest and most in tricate were called into requisition, but all to no purpose. When Captain Petty was told of the extraordinary feats per formed by youDg Boone in throwingoff his irons, he expressed a desire to beper mitted to select the iron himself, and “dress the young man” according to his style. Thejailorcheerfully complied with Captain Petty’s request, and after cuffs, shackles and chains have been procured, we repaired to young Boone’s cell. He is a bright, intelligent and very handsome boy, with large blue eyes, effeminate features, and a com- Eiexion as fair as a lady. He rose from is bed as we neared the cell, and came to the grated window with a cheerful smile beaming on his handsome face. We were accompanied by the sheriff, jailor, Captain Petty, and the turnkeys. The sheriff opened the door of the cell and invitee! young Boone to step out. He was then told that Capt. Petty had come to place him in irons so that be would stay in them. This did not seem to move him in the least. He smiled pleasantly, and remarked that “such a thing could no doubt be did,” but hoped that no further efforts would, be made in that direction. The sheriff ordered the irons to be placed on him, and Captain Petty commenced by draw ing the young man’s wrists together be hind his back, after which he put on a tight-fitting pair of patent hanacuffs. He then drew his arms close behind him, and put on a pair of cufis attached by'a short chain, above his elbows. A chain was then attached to the cuffs at the wrist, which extended down to the shackles which were closely fitted and locked on his ankles. During the ope ration, his large blue eyes were keenly fixed on every article of his iron dress, as each was being adjusted. After Captain Petty pronounced him secure, young Boone’s eyes fell, and a look of despair overshadowed his heretofore bright countenance. We could nothelp but pity one so young and promising in his painful situation. Captain Petty remarked, to him: “Now, Boone, if you wiggle yourself out of that dress. I will guarantee that the sheriff here will give you the freedom of your cell, and so long as you behave yourself you will never again be ironed in this jail.” As these words were spoken Boone’s face was fairly illuminated with joy, and heasked thesheriffif “ it was a bargain ?” That official assented, believing, with Captain Petty and all present,, that it was out of his power to accomplish such a feat. Young Boone wished to know if the agreement would be fulfilled as soon as the work was done. He was told tkatjt would. He then asked that the sheriff and Captain Petty go away from tkecellwhilehewasatwork. They went off to the other side of the hall to iron some prisoners, and had not been gone two minutes before young Boone announced that his arms were free, and in less than three minutes longer the shackles were oft* his legs, and he stood without an iron upon him. He will have no more irons put on him, but a a close watch will be kept over him. He was put in for larceny about one month ago, and his trial takes place in June. He is a native of New York City, and has graduated from the Toombs in that great metropolis of crime. He came to the South before the war, and served in the Confederate army during the war, being a member of the 7th Virginia cavalry, and one of the noted scouts of the Army of Vir ginia. He is the last youth in the country who -would be suspected for a professionh.l rogue. Ancient Egyptian Fashions, The Egyptians shaved their heads and chins, and looked with abhorrence on the rough-haired and long-bearded Asiatic nations. They only'allowed their hair and beard to grow when in mourning, and looked upon it in any other circumstances, as a sign of low and slovenly habits. Most of them wore over their shaven polls wigs made of curled hair, with a series of plaits at the back. Poor people, who could not afford the expense of real hair, had their’s made of black sheen’s wool. By a singular contradiction, the great peo ple wore artificial beards which they likewise affixed to the images of their gods. The beard of an individual of rank was short and square; that of a king equally square, but much longer, and that of a god was pointed and turned up at the end. Ladies wore their hair long, and worked into a multitude of small plaits, part of which hung down their back, and the remainder descended on each side of the face, covering the ears com pletely. They generally had an orna mented fillet round the head, with a bud in front by way of a ferronierre. Some of the creme de la creme indulged in a dress representing a peacock whose gorgeous plumage set off their dark tresses; and princesses were usually distinguished by a coiffure of extraor dinary dimensions, combining all the riches of the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms.— liimmcl’s Book ef Bcrj'umes, Production of Iron In Great Britain. In 1841 the total production of Iron in the whole of Great Britain v&3 only 11),350 tons. In 1848 the quantity was eight times as great. In 1857 it rose to 8,659,447 tons. InlBosit was 0vei'4,200,- 000 tons. Of Scotch pig iron, about 1,- 204,000 tonß were produced, chiefly In Lanarkshire and Ayrshire. Uuite as much came from Glamorganshire and Monmouthshire, and about 40,000 tons from Flint and Denbighshire. Of the English iron fields, the Northumber land, Durham and Yorkshire district, yielded about 750,000 tons, the Derby shire, Lancashire and Cumberland about a third as much. From Stafford shire and Worcestershire were- drawn some 900,000 tons, and from Shropshire and its neighborhood about a quarter as much. The market worth of this pig iron was no less than £12,000,000, ana it was reduced from about 12,000,000 tons of Iron ore by meaUß of nearly 700 blast furnaces. Age ofVlnes. The age to which the vine continues to bear well, ranges ordinarily from 00 to 70 years, often more, and, under favorable circumstances of site and soil, It is long-lived. In Gironde, when properly attended to, It will last from 100 to 150 years. In the commune of Paulllac, in a gravelly soil, there are vines 200 years old; whilst at Pessac some are shown of a yet greater age, planted as is there traditionally believed, In the fourteenth century, during the pontificate of Clement V. A vine In Burgundy lsoredltably recorded to have lived 400 years, and In Italy plants three I centuries old continue to flourish pro ductively. War Statistics. Comparative Ages of Yolnnteers in the Late War, Commutation Honey, Ae. Dr. B. A. Gould, actuary of the Sanitary Commission, has just published a report of the comparative ages of the vd!unteers in the late war. His calculations are made upon the original, volunteer regiments, ex cluding recruits, drafted men and substi tutes that joined after the men entered the service. The aggregate of these regiments was one million twelve thousand and sev enty-three men. The following is the con densed table of ages: Ag*s. Number. Ages. 17 and under 10,413 25 133,475 28 90,215 27 -71,058 28 98,188 29 73,391 30 62,717 30 to 40 52,095 40 and over. It will be seen that soldiers of the age of 18 outnumbered those of every other age. But there were many younger boys in the army. There were 127 of the age of 13; 330 of 14, and 773 of 15. There is not a State in which the soldiers of 18 were not much more numerous than those of any other age. The ages of officers are different. The greatest number of any one age were those of 24 years old. The whole number of offi cers belonging to these original regiments, was 37,184. Of these there were 1,284 who were 20 and under; 1,630 of 21; 1,830 of 22; 2,101 of 23; 2,234 of 24 ; 2,161 of 2o; 2,114 of 26; 1,968 of 27; 2,071 of 28; 1,756 of 29, and 1,846 of 30. Of these between 30 and 40 there were 12,194, and of all ages above 40, 3,974. By analyzing the above tables we find, that two-fifths of the whole number of sol diers were under 22, and three-quarters of them under 30; while of the officers two fifths were over 32 and more than one-balf of them were over 29; while those under 21 form scarcely less than a twenty-ninth part of the whole number. These figures demonstrate, that while the fighting was done principally by very young men, older heads were selected to direct the works. The following table, from the report of the Provost Marshal General (now in press at the Government Printing Office) shows the amount paid by the people of the differ ent States for commutation duringthe war: Maine 8 010,200 Maryland $1,131,900 N.

This is a vust difference for two States of their size, and not easy to be accounted for on any hypothesis which will apply alike to all sections. Tho commutation money was collected at au expense of less than seven-tenths of one per cent. It has been disposed of as follows: Disbursed on account of enrollment, draft, substitutes, «£c balance in United States Treasury The'report gives some interesting facts in regard to the recruitment of men of color, by draft and substitution, which was exclu sively under the control of the Provost Mar shal General, and the Bureau for colored troops, especially established for that pur pose.

In last year’s report attention was directed to this striking peculiarity in the social habits of the Scottish people, but the Registrar was not then in possession of data to show the exact magnitude of the fact. He has now, however, gone over the marriage registers for a series of years to procure some tangible facts on this subject, and they are extremely curious. At present (says the Registrar) we flatter ourselves that the days of super stition have passed away. It is not so, however, with the Scottish people, as these registers avouch. No Scotchman will begin any kind of work on Satur-' day, if he can avoid it, because he has thesuperstitiousbellefthut he will never live to finish it. For the same reason no Scotchman will marry oh Saturday —it is with him an "unlucky day,” and he dreads that one or the other of the parties to the marriage will not live out the year—that they will have no family. Accordingly, as a general rule, no mar riages occur in Scotland on Saturday among the natives of Scotland. On Sunday, also, no marriages take place : so that the ipnrryiug days in Scotland are limited to five weekly, orfromtwen ty to twenty-three in each month. While forty-eight marriages occurred during October, fifty-seven in Septem ber, fifty-eight in March, sixty in Feb ruary, and sixty-three in January, they rose to one hundred and four dally in November, to one hundred and seven teen dally during twenty-two of the marrying days of December, to one hundred and forty-two daily during the marrying days of June, but to the enormous number of 1,088 during the last of December. Here then we have the very singular fact ascertained, that the last day of the year is such a favor ite for marrying with the people of Scotland, that a full twentieth of the marriages during the year were con tracted on that day. This, however, Is not a casual occurrence, but occurs year after year with a regularity, even In the numbers, which is truly surprlslngf Thus, on going over the marriage regis ter for a series of years, it was found that when the first day of December fell on Monday, Tuesday, Wednes day, Thursday or Friday, the num bers who annually married on the first day of December only varied from 1,200 to 1,090, so that the average number of marriages on every 31st of December, when It fell on the above days of the week, was 1,056. But all thlß is changed when the last day of De cember falls on Saturday. The Batur day superstition, as to its being an uri lucky day, outweighs all fondness for the last day of the year as a day of mar riage ; so that when, in the revolutions of the season, the last day of the year falls on a Saturday, the marriage regis ter virtually remains a blank, in so far as the natives of Scotland are conocrned. In 1850, when the 81st of December fell on a Saturday,onlyflfty-nlne marriages were contracted, instead of 1,055, and these ohlefly persons not natives of Scotland. The Scottish people had In that case anticipated the 31st, and con tracted their usual 1,055 marriages on the 30th of the month. It is strongly suspected that the same singular prac tice prevails in Sweden, for even in that country a greater excess of marriages take place In December, than In Scot land. But the official reports do not give ub the means of determining that point with certainty.—Pail Mali Go- Kite, Wedding Tours. Travellers and conductors are begin ning to notice on the railroads a more than usual number of spring and sum mer wedding tourists. Ready money is abundant, and to just thatsort of amount that few men in these days can find any more useful or profitable investment of it than in getting married. Those bachelors, old and young, who have made their fortunes within the last three years in oil or coal, or railroad stocks, or war contracts, find this a con venient season for resting a few months, taking a wife and making a marriage tour to spreading themselves in Paris, and doing the Great Exhibi tion, Italy, Great Britain, and the rest of the world in half a year. These tourists get out of sight of the Ameri can world, and are notworth our notice here, for, with them, all is conventional and regulated simply by one considera- amount of money they have to spend. Jenkins arranges it all and publishes it, in the newspapers. But there is another far more inter esting and unsophisticated class who daily catch the eye of the conductor, and are recognized by him and all old travellers on railroads and steamers at a glance—the bridegrooms and their brides who travel by themselves a few hundred miles on their tours, followed to the cars by weeping, yet happy, bald-headed fathers. On all the routes leading to and from Niagara are these to be seen. They have private suites of rooms pre-engaged at all the stopping places, and have evidently the idea that they have so arranged matters that they are not and cannot be known as bridal tourists. This is not that they are ashamed of each other, but simply that their enjoyment is in each other's society, and they do not want to be criticised and remarked upon by pro fane strangers. So they fancy they are travelling incog. And yet how easy it is to the careful eye to tell how many days or even hours they have been mar ried, by the very pains they take to seem either like old married folks or cousins as they promenade on the deck of the steamer, or sit ever so demurely in the cars! Number. 40,626 - 40.243 34,286 55,312 24.513 28,360 155,434 56,999 Their dress detects them in part. It is all so neat, symmetrical and new. If the parties have good taste, there is not a spark of showiness about their attire. All glitter and display are laid aside, and she who was a fashionable bellelast winter, and drove out in such splendid satins and silks to do her shopping, is now positively more like a Quaker in a simple traveling dress of mouse or drab color. Often the young culprits pretend for a while to be playing at lovers or flirtation, but it will not do. There is too much quiet happiness in their eyes for sparkle and wit and repartee ; too much softness and tenderness in their confidential whispers, and such a sense of possession of each other that none in the cars are deceived for five minntes. Generally the bridegroom discovers this first, and throws his arm easily round the shoulders of bis wife, as much as to say defiantly to the curious, “You cannot tell but what we have been married these many years.” Not tell? There is a sort of guiltiness and slyness in Ike way that arm steals round, first on top of the seat back, then gradually closer, and a silent, pleased, unperceiving ac quiescence on the part of the bride. In deed, it is she who tells the tale most quickly. The broad gauge seats are too broad. She seems to prefer the narrow-, er Pennsylvania measure; and if you sit on any seat back of Ahem, it may be noticed that the lady 1 )} shoulders are not even—they incline just a little, and unperceivedly, while she fancies she is sitting uprightly, to her broad-set and bearded partner. For a few hours thus they travel, but, in the long run, the head gravitates to the husband’s sup porting shoulder, and there It will nestle innocently and confidingly in the repose of a new-found faith, as well as the happiness of honest, truthful love. Sometimes, in spite of all precautions, a tress or two of rich black hair will get loose, and stray, and fall down. But that bride’s tresses are so exquisitely silky and combed and polished, that there is order and neatness intheirvery disorderand abandon. It is, in fact, the confusion of the high and virtuous self respect and honest pride of the maiden stepping out iuto a new faith. And these young folks fancy themselves lost in thecrowd—unnoticed, unknown, and with the secret that they are but just married their own alone ! Blessed in nocents! But even those who discover them must wish them God-speed in their new path, which may lead to happiness or sorrow, as they start right or begin wrong. —PhiVa Ledger. .$26,366,310 $16,976,211 9,390,105 n,o5 -j 5,526 20,133 13 708 1,387 5,092 1,-597 1,811 8,344 104 Estate of pace shekick, i>eci>. —Letters Testamentary on the estate of Paul Sherlck, late of Washington Borough, Lancaster county, dec’d., having been granted to the subscriber residing in said borough : All persons Indebted to said estate are requested to m ke Immediate payment, and those hav ing claims will present them, without delay, properly authenticated for settlement. may 9 Gtw*lNj AriHTOK‘B NOTICE. —ESTATE OF Esther Bartholomew, late of Strasburg township, Lancaster county, dec'd.—The un* derslgded Auditor appointed to distribute the balance remainingin the hands of John Smith, Administrator or salt! dec'd, to and among those legally entitled to the same, will attend for that purpose,Jon TUESDAY, the 2Uth day of MAY, lSw, at 2 o'clock, P.

Bankers, ' THE CENTRAL NATIONAL BANK, Philadelphia. Solicitors. THEODORE CUYLER. ESQ., ROBERT D. C. COXE, ESQ. Americans are proverbial for tlio avidity and commendable zeal with which they par ticipate in enterprises having for their object the development of oar national resources. At one time “ Railroads ”—at another “Coal”— then “Copper” or “Iron,” and more recently “ Oil ” have been the ail-absorbing topics. In all these several enterprises, as will be recollected, those who j?rj/took hold of them made money: some larger amounts than others, according to their investments. Mining operations in the fields of Colorado and elsewhere now mainly engross the publlo attention. Considering that several such com panies have been already organized—that they are now at work—that the reports from their mines are highly favorable—that it Is known that at the present time there are on the way from the ledges of Nevada and Colorado numer ous ”bars or silver ” and “bricks of gold,” it Is believed that the onthusiasm already mani fested on the subject will. In a littlotltne, be so greatly Increased on tho receipt and exhibit of these “ returns,” that Innumerable companies will spring up, whose stock, being based at the then greatly Inflated prices of ledges, will neces sarily be less desirable than that now to bo had —thereby giving to those who avail themselves of the occasion now presented, of securing “original interests,” an opportunity of then disposing of the large amount of stock each holder receives, at a handsome advance. With thfese preliminary remarks tho follow ing Prospectus Is respectfully presented. The property of tho Company proposed to bo organized by the sale of these '‘original Inter ests.” consists of the following Ledges, all altu uteu within a radius of flve miles'or Central City, Colorado. TRAIL CREEK DISTRICT. Mammoth Lode,*.. Never Fall Lode.t Vanderbilt Lode,;. Union Lode, Gold Oplilr Lode, TRAIL RUN DISTRICT. Holman Lode,|j BANNER DISTRICT. St. Louis Lode,. Pensacola Lode, UPPER FALL RIVER DISTRICT. Abe Lincoln Lode,. Washoe Lodo, of 200 feet, Minnie, or “ Louisa " Lode of 200 feet. Riddle Lode.g..- of 201) feet. “ Being a total of 2,000 feet or nearly half a mile in length horizontally, of rich Gold-pro ducing territory, of unlimited depth, together with all the dips, spurs and angles, aud also all the metals, ores, gold, silver aud other metal bearing quartz, rock, and earth therein, and all the rights, privileges and franchises thereto incident, appendant and appurtonanced, or therewith usually had or enjoyed, under and subject to the Jurisdiction ot the Government of the United States.” The titles to all of which claims havo beou ex amined by a member of the Bar, resident In Colorado. His opinion Is as follows This is to certify that I havo carefully exam ined the titles to the foregoing lodes or ledges, and am satisfied that they aro perfect. THOMAS MASON, Attorney at Law. Central City, Colorado. Professor Edward N. Kont, of the New York Assay Office, says: . “ As to the extent of the gold mines of Colo-' rado, I am not prepared to give an estimate, as I found enough to fully employ my time within a radius of five miles of Cen tral City, (the location of the above Ledges,l-but as to the richness of them, I have no hesitation In saying, that I believe them to be the richest ever discovered. W Ith science, capital and the Pacific Railroad, Colorado Is destined In my opinion, to rival or supersede California aud Australia, and become the El Dorado of the World.’ As the purchaso of either of the above lodes would require more money than the majority of persons have at command, it lias been deter mined to consolidate them, and to divide them Into Twelve Hundred and Fifty ORIGINAL SHARES which will cost the subscribers hereto ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS EACH, thus affording the man of limited means, as well as the capitalist, an opportunity to secure an Interest In this region or “practically inex haustible” wealtu. As all are aware, the usual plan adopted for the development of such a property Is to form, a company and Issue certificates or stock. The plan here proposed may be considered prelimi nary to the formation or two or more Companies on these properties, which are subject to no royalty, leases or mortgages. The Subscribers can then upon this solid and substantial basis, elect officers from among themselves, each subscriber being eligible to the position of an officer of the Company. In order that handsome returns may be speedily realized, these subscriptions are based upon the proposition that the subscribers Immediately on receipt of tho Deeds (now ready for delivery, and which may be euimlned at the office of the undersigned before subaorlb- Ihg.) may leaso their lands on heavy royalties, or at once organize Companies in the usual way for which there Is an ample basis. To accommodate those of moderate means, hese “ interests" are put at $lOO each, in otder to get the list filled at once, and to prevont any delay lu tho organization of the Company. Considering the numerous valuable “Ledges” which constitute tho basis of this enterprise— the fair and equitable features—the low prlceH at which “ Interests ” In It are offered, and that each Interest entities the holder to Ills pro rata share of stock In all the Companies that may be organized upon them—also recollecting that In all, there are only 1,000 Interest* to be sold, and it would only require one hundred gentle men each to Lake ten (1,000) to absorb the whole, It is presumed that It Is hardly necessary to suggest to those desiring to secure one or more of these original Interests, to at once send In their subscriptions. Checks or Drafts should bo drawn to the order of the undersigned, whoso endorsement will boa receipt, In addition to the one that will be promptly sent on receiving them.
