A FAITI1LMS WIFE.
There was quite an excitement created at
one of our hotels a dny or two since in conse
quence of a gentleman from Beading, Pa.,
finding his wife in company with' another man.
It appears that the husband had been from
home for some time on i business tour, and
had written to his wiTe. to meet him at this
city, where he would be at a certain time.
lie reached Baltimore a dny or two before he
expected to do so, nod the wife anticipating a
dsv or two 01 pleasure Deiore ins arrival, leit
he't home in the company of a friend, who wus
to act as a protector uutil the arrival of the
husband.
. Both arrived at the same hotel without tho
knowledge of each other, and tho wife took
lodgings under auother name. There was an
other gentleman from Beading stopping at
the Mi"6 house, who saw the truant wire, and
meeting the husband, inquired nfterthe health
of Mrs. F.. n'hen ho was told by tho husband
that he was there awaiting her" arrival. He
was then surprised to learn for the first time
dhat she was then in the city and stopping at
-tlie came house with himself. An inquiry
was at onco made, and it was also discovered
that she was in tho house, and that she wag
in ih same room with her pretended protector.
Ie immediately went to the owner, and gain
ing admission, found that they were there as
man and wife.

ogtb of February, 1853 directing every Amc

, Our castor's lowly grave,
It is a dear secludod quiet spot t
Tempests that o'er dwellings howl and rave,
There reacheth, shriokoth not.
Gracefully droops above, -The
sycamore of giant storm-tried arms ;
, As though the snowy tablet knew the love,
That shelters us from harm.
Thou art removed from strife,
Few pass thy narrow home childrcus feet
Quiet as eve to learn the way of lifo,
Where divers footsteps meet.
Perchanco a weeper comes,
Clad in the garb that tokens deepest woe j
Leaving uncarod life's toilsome busy hum,
Deceived, deceiving show.
Upon the breast of God,
Thou leanest where no clamor meets thine
ear;
ne lovcth thee for thou hast kuown His rod.
The lava-torrent tear.
Thy rest of perfect dny,
Bucotneth marvelous Gods vicegerent
Fallen, a worrior in the thickest fray
Removed his mission-tent.
Thon art well sheltered there,
Beneath the sacred aisles thy feet have
trod i
Where thou for many a wintry dny did'st
bear,
Tho messages of God.
Time-houorcd, revered place,
Thy halls rajig with the lofty eloquence j
Thut legions listen to of royal race,
As thou demaudest whence.
Whence comes this regal crown,
This diadem of more than mortal light t
Tho seraphs answering echoes well nigh
drown,
"Thou hast well fought life's f.ght.
Who would not strike the lyre,
And call forth notes of holiest numbers ;
Nor would we with a cadence wild desire,
To break thy quiet slumbers.

S.ITIZ FEMALE SEMINARY.
We clip the following item from the Lan.
castor Whig, of the 5th inst :
Thursday commenced the annual vacation
of the Litiz Female Seminary, and in the
morning one hundred and twvty-five of the
young ladies, pupils belonging to it. reached
Lancaster in time to tnko the different rail
road and stage lines to their homes. They
were all in fine spirits and glee, buoyant with
life and hope ; rejoicing in the anticipation of
meeting their parents, brothers, sisters anil
friends. There were six large coaches in the
train that brought them from Litiz, and a
four horso wagon heavily loaded with baggage.
The sight, was most interesting. Long may
they live and prove a blessing to themselves.
to society ana to the world, i no i.iuz
schools have a reputation so widely and so
favorably known ns constantly to increase
their fame and their scholars.
The "Ot.n Soldiers." A bounty land
warrant of ldO acres was forwarded to the
President of the I" nited States for military
services rendered by him daring the Mexican
war. A similar warrant was forwarded to ex
President Tyler, for military services during
the late war with England. Hon. William
L. Marcy, Secretary of Stute, receives un
80 acre warrant for military services in the
same war, he having already received a boun
ty of 80 acresundcr tho act of 1850.
Baltimore, June 4. A marriage party in
Washington county, Maryland, were poisoned,
a day or two since, by eating custard in which
arsenic had been placed. Some twety-five
are not expected to live. Tho bride is
among tho number. It is a mystery who
committed the act. The servants are all
sick from eating of the custard.
Baltimore, Juno 4. The official returns
from Virginia reduce Wise's official majority
below ten thousand. Tho election of Lewis,

Yeats, of Maiden-lane, New York, had scrof
ulous sores on his legs for four or five years,
attended witli a continual discharge, he suff

n the nope or curing him, without success.
After every other remedy had failed, he had
recourse to llollowny s Umtment and 1 ills,
