If You Should E'er Get Married. If you should e'er get married, John, I'll tell you what to do Go get a little tenement, Just big enough for two; And one spare room for company, And one spare bed within it If you'd begin love's life aright, You'd better thus begin it. In furniture be moderate, John, And let the stuffed chairs wait: One looking-glass will do for both, Yourself and loving mate; And Brussells, too, and other things, Which make a fine appearance, If you can better afford it, they Will better look a year hence. Some think they must have pictures, John, Superb and costly, too; Your wife, will be a picture, John, Let that suffice for you. Remember how the wise man said, A tent and love within it, Is better than a splendid house With bickering every minute. And one word as to cooking, John, Your wife pan do that best ; For love, to make the biscuit rise, Is better far than yeast. No matter if each day you don't Bring turkey to the table, 'Twiil better reli.-h by and by, When )-ou are better able. For all you buy, pay money, John, Money earned every day; If you would have your life run smooth. There is no better way. A note to pay is an ugly thing (If thing you chose to call it,) Whrn it hangs o'er a man who has No money jn his wallet. And now when you are married, John, Don't try to ape the rich; It took them many a toilsome year To gain their envied niche ; And if you gain the summit, John, Look well to your beginning. And then will all you win repay The care and toil of winning. Bleeding from the Nose. Some two years ago, while going down Broadway, in New York, blood commenc ed running from my nose quite freely. I stepped aside and applied my haudker chief, intending to repair to the nearest hotel, when a gentleman accosted me, saying, " Just put a piece of paper in your mouth, chew it rapidly, and it will stop your nose bleeding." Thanking him rather doubtfully, I did as he suggested, and the flow of blood ceased almost im mediately. I have seen the remedy tried since quite frequently, and always with success. 1 Doubtless any substance would answer the same purpose as paper, the stoppage of the flow of blood being caus ed doubtless by the rapid motion of the jaws, and the countraction of muscles and arteries connecting the jaws and nose. Physicians state that placing a roll of pa per or muslin above the front teeth, un der the upper lip, and pressing hard on the same, will arrest bleeding from the nose checking the passage of blood thro' the arteries leading to the nose. II. C. K. in Scientific American. Anecdote cf President Lincoln. The following is one of the many anec dotes of the late President Lincoln: Upon the appearance of what is known as the " Wade aud Davis manifesto," sub sequent to his rcnominafion, an intimate friend and supporter, who was very in dignant that such a document should be put forth just before the Presidential election, took occasion to animadvert very severely upon the course that prompted it. u It is not worth fretting about," said the President; " It reminds me of an old ac quaintance, who having a son of a scien tific turn, bought him a microscope. The boy went around experimenting with his glass upon everything that came into his way. Ooe day, at the dinner table, his father took up a piece of cheese. ' Don't tat that, father,' said the boy ' it is full of wrigglers My son replied the old gen tleman, taking at the same time a huge bite, 4 let 'cm wriggle; I can stand it if they can" A colored woman named June Van Ilossclaer was buried from the African Medthodist Church, in West Troy, on Monday, whose ngc at her death was 115. The election is over. STROUDSBURG, MONROE TWO GREAT BATTLE-FIELDS. George AlfreM Townsend writes to the New York World the following descrip tion of the battle-fields of Sadowa and Austerlitz : I visited, on consecutive days, two re nowned battlo fields, Sadowa and Auster litz. Thev were enuallv common nines when the struggles to which they gave j name occurred, but Austerlitz, bv reason! of its commemoration, is now a tourist's; town of two thousand five hundred in habitants, while Sadowa is a hamlet mere ly, utterly depopulated. The cholera has killed two hundred of the little farmers, wood cutters, ect., in and near by, since the battle day, for among the putrefying carcasses the old hyena whets his appetite, and then picks up the living neighbors. Sadowa was a more sanguinary slaugh ter than Austerlitz; at least three hund red thousand men were there opposed, and possibly half a million as the bulle tins say. We all know how armies are magnified on both sides till after a defeat, auu iu mis war me niiuiary Draggart nasi Deeu as eminently elastic as in our own. The least truthful of all contemporary historians is the soldier himself. Had he to write our descriptions he might make his own reputation, but would cer tainly ruin ours. At Austerlitz, Bona parte opposed seventy thousand men to the allies' ninety thousand. Sadowa was fought in the margin of July, and Aus terlitz past the meridian of November. The former was the most terrible butch ery, the latter the most artful embattling. One finds in the Sadowa battle only the Prussian Crown Prince's swift and per severing march to applaud; but Auster litz was a piece of daring adrotiness, fought eight hundred miles from Paris, with a great and incensed capital to guard behind, and not, as at Sadowa, the Italian army of Austria compelled to face the Po, but marching vigorously, eighty thousand strong, upon the Frenchman's rear, while Prussia, secretly inimical to him, was edging up through Bohemia to join the allies at the first note of their success. The great inveigler, pleading false de sires for peace, first flushed the allies till they were over-certain, assisted them to advance victoriously, till by their every success they had become outflanked, then drove them pcllmell upon his bayonets on the one hand and on the frozen lakes on the other. Tbey were drowned by acres when the ice crashed under the French artillery. Both battles were equally sig nal defeats to Austria. Sadowa was a more piqaunt misery because inflicted on her in the sight of Germany, and by a lesser State. , My ride over the field of Sadowa was scarcely pleasurable, because the cholera had left there only the collapsed and aged, and the pcasents hereabouts have the rep utation of veritable ghouls and giaours,! whose atrocities to the dead pass human belief. They have behaved worse than any class of savages would do in America, cutting purses- and jewelery from the wounded, stripping the dead of garments; in a word revenging themselves upon his tory, which has done nothing for them these three centuries. m Sadowa itself is au European Culpepper ; for example, a little stony-faced town, with a bulbously shaped church steeple in it, two beer shops, and the .usual per centage of Austrian civil officers. An old woman in black stockings stood alone in the open place of the hamlet, looking at the hospital wagon3 that passed across the horizon. She did not know anything, except that two of Ilasmer Somebody's boys, near by, had gone- off with the soldiers a week ago to get back their horsc3 impressed after action. - Had we seen them ? No ? That was strange I That was all she knew about the fight Everything in the place is more or less shot to pieces. The battle-field is a se ries of hills, half corn-patch, half scrub timber, inclined to be mountainous, and to some extent resembling the lands at the foot of the Blue Ridge Cedar Moun tain, for example. At places on it there are vistas of far white plains, prairie-like, but of the deadly spots themselves noth ing remains save the uneven trenches, where the dead, dumped in as they lay, remain to testify against the monstrous enigma of ambition, submission and ignor ance . in which they perished at that far dim time when God shall make it plain why our kind are thus causelessly and perpetually slaughtered. At this spot the. two Prussian armies capped the double lines of victory: Sechnow. Munchen gratz, Gitschia on the one hand, Nachod, Skalitz, Trautcnau on the other. It would be absured for me to waste- time in describ ing a series of bare slope-stretches and curving hills about which none of your readers had a particle of curiosity. Suf fice it to bay that all the view of Sadowa is a repetition of the Virginia tnisseries of our own rebellion ; notany better coun try, though it has the spruceness and tidi ness of age over it all, better cleared up, better contented, inhabited by hewers of wood and drawers of water, who forget that Christ ever came, in the better ro collection that they may some day go hence to Ilira. The graves of the dead are marked with wooden crosses, with now and then a hel met or a hat set upon the top of them. Here and there is a splintered cassion or cannon wheel that some old witch is split tin up for firewood. They call this a field of glory, at Berlin, but as I lay awake last night at Brunn, in a triple-bedded room, talking with some Austrian officers about it all, I could not make out other COUNTY, PA., OCTOBER II, 1866. wise than, that by all this murdering, Ger many stands as she did shifted about a trifle, but no freer, no securer, no easier in conscience or at pocket. She is" the same poor, pipe-drunken, dreaming, thrif ty, fattened, hopeful, heterogenous Ger many that she has ever been iu your time and mine. Yesterday the Kaiser had her by a silken cord; to-day the Prussian King has her by the throttle. Such a well deserving poor prostrate of a genius no dog-star shines upon I She lost two or three great chances for redress, and free dom punishes nations and races for losing chances. What a glorious burst of hope could all these countries sec in the return of some enormous convulsion like that of France, the revolution before Bonaparte mastered it, which, whatever sycophant moralists and historians may have to say, was the world's great opportunity. Then, this "pipe-drunken Germany," as Carlylewo'd call it, loved territory better than freedom, spent ignominous years of deserved defeat to beat back French ideas for which French ideas to-day, its people would give up every inch of the stealings of the cen turies Poland, the Sclave provinces, and the statues of all the bigbooted prince generals! Great Famine in India. Appalling Scenes. A great famine has been prevailing in India for some months. A Calcutta correspondent of the London Times, under date of July 31st, gives the following account of the appalling scenes witnessed by him: I started from Midnapore, civil station about 70 miles southwest of the capital, on the morning of the 2Cth of June, and had hardly proceeded some seven miles, when commenced the painful sights which, varying only in intensity, continued un til I again returned to this place. Kain had fallen heavily during the night, and the palki men were trudging slowely through the mud, when, a little after day break, 1 saw two bodies under a tree. As there seemed to be a slight motion in one, 1 alighted, and on going up to it found, covered under an old cloth, with just a spaTk of life left in him, an old man slowly'dying from hunger. He appeared as if he had a thin piece of transparent India rubber tightly drawn over his skel ton frame, so emaciated had he become. I gave him some beer, and he slowly faltered out his tale of woe. He said that ho and his companion had left their homes, after seeing their family die from the ef fects of cholera or famine and had got thus far on their journey towards Midna pore, hoping to get relief there, when one, struck by damp and hunger, dies on the road under atree,and the other wakes to find his friend a corpse, and himself, exhausted and drenched by the heavy rains that had fallen during the night, unable to move. The dogs and jackals feast off the body, while this living skeleton but a few paces off is powerless to prevent them. He faintly begs from the passers-by, but in vain. Hunger is gnawing their vitals al so. They all turn a deaf car to 'his cry. The beer seemed to revive him. and I went to my palki to get some biscuits, but returned to find the poor sufferer in a state of coma, and in a few minutes he was dead. The half-picked body of his companion attested his tale. I continued my journey, passing at intervals the dead as they lay unburied and in every stage of decomposition on the side of the road. Sometimes I would see a cluster together. In one place there were 22 bodies within the space of half a mile; in another six, close together, all more or less mangled and torn by jackals, dogs and vultures. Pushing my way through the jungle and over paddy-fields, I traversed 120 miles of country, when I reached the house of a Mr. Falls. That gentleman informed me that a woman had died by the roadside, and that a living child was said to be at her breast. He sent out his servants, who returned saying that they had found the corpse and the child, but the mother's arm clasped the latter so tight, that in bending it back, stiff and cold, it broke. They say that the living and the dead had been thus linked to gether for two days; at any rate, the poor little infant, exhausted by exposure and want, died as it was being released. The misery entailed by the famine has brought out all the worst qualities of the lower class of natives. As a rule, affec tionate and fond of their homes, they have in too many instances fled, leaving their wives and families to starve. It is impossible to judge of tho numbers that have died from actual want, as no re turns are kept; but, taking the three dis tricts of Balasore, Cuttack and Midna pore, I should say quite 1200 a day. In Balasore, large, plague pits have had to be dug near the towns, to receive the bod- ies of those found dead near the precincts.! but in too manv instances, the bodies are lelt to rot on the roadside. its hearts 6tirring accents by the couch of , , sickness.

Tho masculine race would laugh -so, and if there's one thing I do hate above another, it is to let a man laugh at a woman. And I can describe nearly what a woman ought to be, if 'she could drive a nail. Besides, there isn't one woman in ten thousand who couldn't do it better than a man, if she wanted to' Therefore I take my pen in hand, and 6toutly and with big, positive letters de cribe to you The Woman Who can Drive a Nail. She is the mother of ten small children. Her husband, in his day, was not what our grand-mothers called " a good provid er," not by any means. In fact the only foolish thing she ever did was to marry him, a poor, shiftless soul, with not so much spring to him as a lump of dough. And he departed this life, leaving here with the numerous progeny above-mentioned, and nothing else. But she takes care of them sho does. Ten children are nothing in the eyes of tho woman who can drive a nail.' Bless you- no! She has more " faculty" than a dozen Yankee housekeepers. Her cow never goes un. milkcd o' nights, her pig doesn't root in to next door's garden, and her hens don't take liberties with neighber's early corn. You won't find a weed in her flower-beds, a broken down trellis in her yard, nor a rat-hole under her kitchen door. She ha3 not a leaky eave-trough, nor a loose clap-board, nor a gate off its hinges about her premises. Because she can drive a nail. And I wish you'd see her manage her hammer. She neither craks her thumb, nor splits a board, nor breaks off a nail. She always hits the nail square on the head. She is never behind nor never in a hur ry. Nor was she ever out of patience or out of temper. Good humor is the health of the soul; sadness its poison says " Stanislaus, King of Poland," and the woman whom I describe puts this maxim into practice entirely. Her spirit fairly runs over with bubbling, warm, rich life. She refuses to fret or worry about any thing in this world. And she never fain ted nor had a nervous headache nor a hys teric in her life. She is plump and good natured, with a merry, bright eye, and a jolly, happy body. She helps everybody else out of trouble, but herself hardly ev er want3 help. She is merciful and chari table even to the dumb dog iu the street. And there is not a shadow of any thing spiteful or vindictive about herv She does n't envy Mrs. Green either her black hair or nice husband. Moreover, she wears her last winter's bonnet, which is the climax of independence in a woman. And the oldest inhabitant never heard her talk gossip. Because she can drive a nail. But don't think she is one of those easy, credulous souls whom sham distress iu any form it pleases to take, can impose upon. No indeed. Neither her head or her heart is soft enough for that. She, can look straight through a matter from top to bottom, with an eye which con vinces pretended misery that it had bet ter tramp. And there is no such a thing as fooling her in a bargain. Her wits aro sharp enough to cope with a Chicago grain speculator. She is bright, keen, and active as a sewing machine, and much cleverer. When she once makes up her mind that a certain thing is right you can move her no more than a mountain. Al so, I haven't the least idea that she would make a submissive wife. That's the beau ty of her. When and where you will, you will find her the same merry, whole some, solid, dependable person ; in a word, you will find her to be that mythical, long-sought, almost impossible A oman with no humbug about her. Because she is the woman who can drivo a nail. Vac. From the Saturday Evening Post. Links in the Chain. The blast that drove the storm cloud across the heavens shook the oak, and tho acorn cup, loosened from its fruit, fell on tho pathway. A cloud bursts; a raindrop filled tho acorn cup. A robin wearied by tho sultry heat of an autumn day, and troubled by tho fury of the storm, hopped upon the path when all was calm, and drauk tho rain-drop. Refreshed and gladdened he flew to his accustomed place in tho ivy that overhung the poet's window, and there he trilled his sweetest, happiest song. m - m The poet heard. and rising irom nts rev- crie, wrote a chant of graceful rejoiciug. The chant went forth into the world, and 'entered the house of sorrow and uttered song." j " I owe my song to the rain-drop," said NO. 30. through unseen, unknown and unsuspect ed channels, and bringing, in due time, by his own way, the grateful chant from the angry storm cloud." A Soldier's Widow answers President Johnson. Here a poor soldier's widow answers the I resident's Cleveland speech more effect ually than he could be answered by the most ready pen or eloquent tongue. To Mr. Andrew JoJinson, President of the United States of America: Dear Sir: In a speech deliverel by you at Clevelaud, Ohio, on your way to Chicago, and which I suppose, was repor ted correctly, you ask, " Who made great er sacrifices in the war than I? Who suf fered more than I?" &c. Now, I take it for granted that to those questions you ex pect from some quarter a reply, or you would not have propounded them. So far as my knowledge extends, up to this time no one has undertaken the task. There fore, I myself, although but a very hum ble woman, scarcely known beyond the street I live in, will venture to furnish an answer. And when I have done so, I will submit to the last judgment of tho world, whether, on the score of " suffer ings" and "sacrifices" (if there be noth ing else,) your claims to popular sympa thy and support bear any comparison to mine. Before the rebellion, sir, I had a hus band, kind, loving, economical, who, for myself and four little ones, made comfort able provision. Our home was the abode of peace and plenty. What has become of him. He was starved to death at An dersonville, and by the " chivalrio" men whom your " policy" would fain restore with repeutance, to the head of our Gov ernment. Since then I have been trying to earn my bread by plying the needle. At times, when that kind of employment has failed me, I have been obliged to stand over the wash tub from early mora till night. I had two brothers, steady men, kind and generous. Had the re bellion left them as it found them, pinch ing poverty I should never have known. Alas ! alas ! One cf them perished from exposure and want on Belle Island, and the other had his right arm tak'en off by a rebel shell at Antietam, he cannot as sist me. The privations and hardships I have had to endure have so shattered my owa health and strength, that I feel, at times, unable even to endure the fatigue of play ing the needle, bo, that, except my trust in a merciful God, I have sacrificed for my country my all husband, brothers, house, home, living and I am cast, a beggar, on the cold charity of the world I And all this I owe to the Southern slave holders, and to their iniquitous attempt to murder my beloved country, as they did murder my husband and brothers row, Jlr. Johnson, since you invited a comparison, what have you suffered? Ex hibit your scars, wounds and bruises ! Did you lose a leg or an arm, or wero you eveu so much as scratched or bruised r AVhere is the blood you shed? Would it Etain a white cabric pocket handkerchief? How much property did you lose? Why, if reports speaks true, during most of the time of the war. vou were living on tha " fat of the land," in Nashville, out of harm s way, protected as you were by Union bayonets. Out of Uncle Sam's overflowing commissary stores, you drew plenty to eat and drinh tho best of meats, and wiiat was of still more conse quence to you, the choicest of liquors. Add to this your handsome salary as mili tary governor. Then the great Union party, whom since you have so foully be trayed, made you Vice-President, with a salary of eight thousand dollars per an num. Then, to crown it all, John Wilkes -Booth made you President, and there you are yet to the tune of twenty-five thou sand dollars a year, with "fixins." The rebellion found you, I learn, comparatively a poor man. Now you are rich, with a sound body, not to speak of your mind whose soundness is not so certain. You, Andrew Johnson, talk of your sufferings and your sacrifices and challenge a comparison. Fie, fie, upon you ! Why, sir, on that score I ought to be America's Queen, and you ought to be sweating over the wash-tub! And now, sirk are your questions as to who suffered moro than you, who sacrificed more than you, by reason of the war, answered? I did, sir, and I know hundreds of poor women, tossed from affluence into the vale of penury and want, who suffered and sacri ficed tcu thousand times moro than you, and are making no ostentatious parade of it either. Yours, respectfully, Mary Jane Catiierwate, A Soldier's Widow and the mother of four fatherless children. Philadelphia, Sept. 7, 1SGG. The telegraph fails to give us some ef the incideuts which happened on Presi dent Johnson's tour. The following aro among tho omitted ones: Whilo tho President was speaking from tha window of the Delavan House, at Albany, ho in quired : " To whom have I proved a trai tor?" when an Irishman replied, "To General Sweeney and the Faynians!" He continued: " 1 have held every office in tho gift of tho people, what more can I desire?" when another fellow sung out, " Another term!" The Sabbath is the golden clasp which binds together tho volume of the week. Lohl!'uic, s I i - 1 i. 7, ! " i ii
