THIBALLAD OF GLEANOHE.
Ob I fairer than T.rmillios,
Shed upoo westeru ikies,
Was the blush of that sweet Castilliao
Girl, with the deep brown cyei
As ber happy heart grew firmer,
la the Strang bright days of yore,
When eho beard youog Kdward murmur,
I love thee, Kleanore 1"
Sweeter tban musical cadence
Of the wind 'mid cedar and lime,
It love to a timid maidou's
lleatt, iu the fresh spring-time ;
Sweeter than waves that mutter
And break on a sineoug .bore,
Are the enngs ber fancies ntter
To brown-eyed Eleanors.
They twain went forth together,
Away over the Midland Maiu,
Through the golden summer weather,
To Syria's mystic plain.
Together, toil and danger
And the death or their loved ones born,
And perils from 1'ayniin, stranger
Than death to KleuDore.
Where Lincoln's towers of wonder
.Sour high o'er the vale of Trent,
Their lives were torn asunder ;
To her home the good Queen went.
Her corpse to the tomb be carried,
With grief ut bis heart's stern core
And where'er at night they tarried,
Ko8e a cross to Kleanore.
As ye trace a meteor's onset
liy a lino of silver raiu '
As ye truce a regul onset
liy streaks of a saffron stain
So to the Minister holy,
At the west of Loudou's roar,
May ye mark how sadly, slowly
fussed the corse of Eleuooru.
Uuck to where lances quiver
Straight buck, by tower and town,
Dy hill, and wood, and river
For tho love of Scotland's crown.
But Ah ! there is the woe within him
For the face he shall see no more ;
And conquest cunuot win bini
From the love of Lcunore.
Years after, sternly dying
In Ins tent by the nolwuy sea,
With the bree7.es of Scotland Hying
O'er tho wide sands, wild and free, 4
II is dim thoughts sadly wander
To the happy duys of yoro,
And he sees, in the gray sky yonder,
The eyes of bis Kleanore.
Time must destroy those crosses
lUibi'J by the Poet-King;
lint, ns long as the blue sea tosses,
As long as the skylarks sing,
As long us London's river
Glides stately down to the Kore,
Men shall remember ever
How he loved Queen Eleaoore.

"TIIE COMMON PEOPLE."
This phrase has been in use from time iui
memorial, not only as a distinction but as t
stigma. btill the "common people,' tlie
masses of umukinil, bave enshrined in their
hearts the great virtues, and with their Iiudus
wrought the great labors of the world, trout
the bosom of their needs and aspirations have
sprung the noblest exemplars of philosophy
mid religion of patriotism and heroism and
in every cause and fur every idea, that requir
ed martyrs for its vindication, the ranks of
the "common people have turnisbed the
readiest mcrifice. Many a corner even of
wrilteo history bears evidence of this, yet
multitudes of aniitocraral and Pharisaical lips
have not ceased to curl with scorn whenever
they allude to the toiling, patient, humbler
majority of mankind.
11 is a good deal now, as it was when cer
tain persons asked concerning the "('arpen-
tor's Son," "Lave any of the rulers aud I'bar-
sees believed on him?" Eighteeu centuries
have gone since the aristocracy of Judea re
cted the "Light of the orld " because it
shono for, and from the midst of, the common
people; and who ol to-city is not acquainted
with some, even among the professed .lollow-
ers of Him who fellowshiped with 'publicaus
aud sinuers," who in the bestowal of their
regard muke wide allowonce in favor of the
"higher classes? Indeed, who does not
know some, whose greatest tribulation in the
pursuit of good works in thoir oilliculty in
lindintr people cood enough to work with.
Sir Francis IStirdett honored himself even
more than be vindicated our common human
ity, when he declared from an English bust
iugs thut be knew no common people, in the
distinguishing sense of that term. Poor and
humble nuonle there were, as contrasted with
the rich and the proud, but be bad lived to
learn that gome of the poorest specimens of
our raco bad come from tbe circles of the
most preteutious while many ottb best and
noblest men are from tbe ranks of the most
unpretending and obscure. He repudiated
the phruse "common people 'at on idsuii to
humanity and a libel upon God. And if re
uuiuteu bv a titled man wiltiin trie inrone,
aud in the midst of the proudest feudal castle
on earth, bow much more should it be repu
diated by us who have rejected thrones and
castles 1 We never bear 'the pbrase but it
stirs our indignation to its depths, as it calls
up in oar mind the host of illustrious names
of those who have sprung from tbe character
of the race. N. Y, Ledger.

An Elopement A Bride in Boys'
Clothes.
Tbe St. Louis Republican has the following
item as occuring in that city :
About five o'clock Monday evening, two
young persons, dressed in a gentlemanly man
ner, walked into the office of Justice Heck
enwratb, on Walnut street. The oldest in
troduced himself as Samuel A. Patterson,
and said that for several years he had been
paying courteous attentions to Miss Louisa
Chamberlain, in oue of tbe border towns of
Indiana. His suit had been well received by
th young lady, and th.y were engaged to be
married ; but tbe father or bis affianced inter
posed his objectioas to tbe proposed hymeni
ul co-partnership, and declared with great
positiveness that the twain, should cot be
made one flnsb. Finding Chamberlain, Sr.,
inexorable, Mr. Patterson bad concluded to
go to Pike's Peak, hoping to reap golden
treasures as the result of bis journey, and on
his return experience less difficultv "in con
ciliating his sweelheort's obdurate parent."
So, about a week ago, bidding good bye for
awhilo to his native town, and indulging in a
kiss or two, together with a chaste embrace,
in which Miss Louisa was a participant, he
steered his coarse for St. Louis.
The thought of a long separation from her
dearly beloved, but more than all the fear
that absence might drive ber image from his
heart, was too much for the fair Lo'iisa. Sho
took a younger brother into her confidence,
and poured into his sympnthotic ear tbe story
of her grief. There wans ilash of romance
in that younger brother, and said he, "Louisa
run off meet Sam marry him end the de
vil take the consequences." On that hint she
spake. That, indeed, the had aireudy resol
ved upon.
Tho abovo narrative, pprhsps not in the
same words, but in substance similar, was told
to Justice Herkcnwrath, night before last, at
5 o'clock, P. M., precisely.
The Squire meditated. At length he said
he would rather not perform the ceremony.
"Uut you must," said Mr. Patterson, "and
besides, if you don't some magistrate will,
and yoit might us well have the money asuny
other."
The last was a wise thought for the young
anticipatory husbsnd.
"Well," observed Esq. H., "bring the lady
here I'll tie the knot."
Mr. Patterson walked to another portion
of the room where bis getituul conipauion
had taken a sent.
Here she is," he announced, as they both
advanced to the Justice's denk.
We will not say that the functionary who
presides over tbe FourtU Ward wus dumb
founded, struck aghast, for he was nut. He
was simnlv surprised. He shook bis head
and remarked that if the lady would retire to
her boading honse and re-appear 4u the cus
tome of her sex be would cludly accede to
their wishes.
A short hour claused. Miss Chamborlain
attired iu nil the paraphernalia of hoops and
other leminino et colerus, now a nioomiug
blushinir vonne ludy of sweet seventeen, eiv
tered tbe office, accompanied by the smiling
and nltorelher bappv Mr. Patterson. Five
minutes served to place them in a new rela
lion, and after receiving the congratulations
of the peace officer ef the State they depart
ed on their way "rejoicing" of course.
Ysterdav uiorning the iDdetilical pair
were seen iu a buEirv but the bur L.ouis
was again violating an ordinance of the city,
bv beinir drssted in mule attire. Iu the af
ternoon she started back to her home in lu
diunn, and on Saturday her bueband leaves
St. Louis, still bound fur tbo orauge colored
Peak of Pike.
A Woman on the Sickles Trial
The North Iowa Times contains a letter
from a lady a sister of Lydia H. Sigonrney
commenting unon an editorial in that pa
per in relation to the killing of Key, in which
it was said that "Sickles could not have lived
had be not have takeu vengeance on tho wi.
lev scoundrel who had robbed him of hit po
sition ntid disgraced his name." This lady
ilnnt. bad "fcuonospd that a man's I
virtue was inherert, a part of his ualure, and
not simply a reflection of the virtue of bis
wiTe." Dut she infers from the editorial al
luded to, that "when Mr. Sickles went to
Congress, bis position, his honor depended
upon the chaste behavior of Mrs. Sickles, his
wife, and sho au Italian at that 1 Tho beau
tifurwoman, captivated by tbe graces of a
handsomer man than her husband, tint is dis
covered, nud exposed nnd Mr. 8 , the only
innocent person in tbe affair, shoots Mr. Key
not for betraying bis wife, but for dishonoring
hint !" This she pronounces "egregious self
ishness," and continues as follows:
"It is strange how differently our sexes are
constituted. Women survi these disagree
able developments every day. If M r. Sickles
bud hired this assignation bouse, and met
Mrs. Swizzles, do you think Mrs. Sickles
would have gone out to thoot tbe faithless
crinoline who bad stolen her husband? No,
sir. Women do no such fooliab things, and
whv ? because, if we tre virtuous we have
confidence in our virtue, and we feel that no
dereliction of tbe besband can or' ought to
affect the virtue of tbe wire. Hut suppose
on tonio fiue Sabbath morning a!l the women
in Washington who suspect their truant lords
should sally out, 'swords and pistols by their
sides,' to chastise tbe dear creatures who had
stolen their affections, would not this mark
an interesting epoch in history?"
The following shows what a woman thinks
of a man's courage :
"And yet this man, who could not meet the
hollow shells of humanity that formed bis
society at Washington uutil b bad vindica
ted bis honor, mutt now meet the multitudes
at his trial hear the coarse jceringt of un
principled libertines confroot this wife who
he magnanimously promised 'not to injur'
bear again and agaiu. wilb exaggeration and
minutite, the whole history of bit misery re
vivedmeet the wondering looks of bis little
one turning from father to mother for an ex
planation of this mystery, and in after yeara

chapter of her life't reality ! It be can do all
tbit and dare to meet tbit Maker at last with
tbe brand of a murderer on bit tool, tnd yet

The Way to Spoil Girls. 1
1 f any parent wishes a recipe to spoil daugh
ters, it can be easily and readily given, and
can be proved by the axperienc" of hundred
to be certain and elliosciout :
1. Be always telling hor from earliest child
hood what a beautiful creature she is. It is
a capital way of inflating the vanity of a lit
tle girl to be cosjstantly PxclaimTug "How
pretty!" Children understand shch flattery,
even when in tbe nurse's arms, and the evil it
done to the character in its earliest formation.
2. Ilerin as soon as she cat toddle around
to rig ber up in fashionable clothes and rich
dresses. Put a hoop npon ber at once, with
all the artificial adornments of flounces and
feathers and flowers and curls. Fondness ef
drest will thus became a prominent charac
teristic and will usurp tbe wholo attention or
tbo young immortal and be a long step to
wards spoiling her.
A. Jvot her visit so much that she finds no
happiness at home, and therefore will not be
apt to stay there and learn home duties. It
is a capital thing for a spoiled daughter to
seek all bur happiness in visitine and chance
or plaeo and associates. Sba will thus grow
as useless as modern fashionable parents de
light that their daughters should be.
4. Let her reading consist of novels of the
neuspatingly sentimental kind. She will be
spoiled she will be spoiled sooner than if she
perused history or science. Her heart will
be occupied by fictitious scenes and aims pla
ced on fashion and dress and romantic attach
ment..
fi. be careful that her education gives ber
tmnttering of all the accomplishments,
without the slightest knowledge ol the things
really useful in life. Your daughter wont be
spoiled so long es she has a reul desire to be
useful in tbo world, and aims at its accom
plishments. If her mind and time are occu
pied in modern occomplishmeDls, there will
be no thought of the necessity and virtue of
being of some real use to somebody pervading
ber heart, and sho will bs soon ready at a
spoiled duughtcr.
ti. Ait consequence, keep her in profound
ignoranc of all th useful arts or housekeep
ing, unptessing upon her mind that it is vul
gar to do anything for yourself, or to learn
how anything is dono in the house, A spoil
ed daughter should never be taught the mys
teries of the kitchen such things a lady ul
rcayt leaves to the servants. It would be
vulgur for her to know bow to dress trout
or shad, to bake, to wash, to iron, to sweep,
to wring the neck of a live chicken, pluck it
and prepare it Tor breakfast, or to do anything
that servants are hired to do. As a mistress
of a house, it is her duty to sit on a velvet
sofa all day, in the midst or a pyramid of silks
and flounces, reading tbe last flash novel,
while her domestics are performing the labors
of I he house.

' What a Tkstaw.nt Dip. It used to make
me shudder to bear Willie II pais tbe
house, be wa so profaue. Many times 1 have
callud my little ones from their play when 1
have seen Willie passing the bouse, as he
drove a neighbor's cow to uud from pasture.
Such vulgar and profane language 1 never
heard from the lips of a child. Oue day a
lady callud him to her.
"Do you po to school, Willie?"
A gruff "Xo," was the only reply.
"Can you rend ?"
"Xo, not much; and I don't want to."
The lady pitied tbe boy. He bad no en
couiagumeut or instruction at borne. Hit
parents were very poor, and what wat fur
worse, t'lctuu.t, and the people with whom be
lived saw very 'little to encourage tbem to
instruct him. After a few kind inquiries.
"Will your call a minute as you go back,
Willie?" the lady asked.
He aetented with a look of wander, and
be procured a nice Testament, aud wrota his
same in it. In due time he called, seemed
pleused at the interest tbe lady felt iu bim
and promised her that be would try to pick
out at least one verse a day in bis New Tes
tament, and that be would go to meeting the
next Subbath.
Now a fear has past. Among those who
statedly worship at yonder Sanctuary tbero
is not a more punctuator attentive worship
per than Willie 11 . I love to watch bim
as ho sits with bis eyes riveted upon tbe Min
ister, seeming to drink in every word be
utters. The same little 1 estament is seen in
the Sabbath School as often as tbe week
comes around. With his lesson well learn
ed, and his hair neatly brushed back
from a fine open brow, and in bis clean "go-to-meeting
suit," you would not recognize
bim os the same ragged, rough, vulgar boy ol
a year ago. lie still passes my bouse upon
bis daily errand, but the children are no lon
ger called away at bis approach. He is at
modest aud respectful as be wus ruue and
profane.
IIORItlltl.E Ml'KPKK IN A Lt'NATIC ASYLUM
One Ma mac cut to Pikcks by Anothkr.
The Lunatic Asylum, at Columbus, Ohio,
was recently the scene of a horrible affair,
resulting iu the death of one of tbe least
offensive tenants in tbe institution Among
those confined was a butcher, whose insanity
appeared to be of tucb a mild type, that he
was allowed to range about the establishment
at will, and was considered "only a little
cracked." At the commencement of tbe pre
sent month, a new patient was brought to the
asylum, and for the new comer the butcher
apparently entertained a feeling of extraordi
nary affection. The circumstance was noti
ced by the keepers, but they paid do particu
lar attention to It ; and the madman were al
lowed to be together almost eoutiaually.
Oue night, the butcher prevailed upoo his
new friend to sleep in bis Cill wilb bim ; but
no sooaer was tbe poor creature stretched
upon the cot, .than a knife was in bit heart,
and bit murderer grasping bistbroat. After
making numerous other wounds id the body
ol bis victim, tbe maniac cut tb corpse into
twelve or fourteen pieces, aud pinned upoo
each a bunch of ribbons, and bung thorn upoo
hooks in tbe walls of bis apartment as price
meat 1 He then called to tbe other lunatics
to come aud buy of him, and bad actually
told every piece bror'e b wa detected I
"The noise of tb maniacs rejoicing over their
canibal feast," says an Obio paper, "alormed
tbe keeper, who cam in, and soon fooud that
there was a mau missing. II inquired of
the botcher if he bad seen hitn, and received
for a reply that be bad killed bim, and just
told tb last joint ; but tbat tb next time b
killed, b would remember and reterv
cboic cut for bim I" Tb wretch was at ooc
chain. d to th floer of bit cell, and precau
tions taken to prevent any fetor butchery.
Tb story teem almost too borribl to be

world has been occupied with tbe debut or
Madame Ouetrubella, who is tbe daughter or
a former American Consul to Liverpool, Mr.
Ward. She is remarkable for greet beauty.
Her history. is peculiar. On the death of the
Consul, Mrs. Ward left for Italy, in order to
complete tho musical education of her daugh
ter' At Rome the beauty and talents of tbe
young lady attracted the atteution of a young
Ku.sinn nobleman, the Count Guerbel. At
no other proposition but marriage was admis

and they were privately married at Homo
A short time afterward th bridegroom dis
appeared ; and, after the most heurtronding
anxiety on the part oT the riesertud wile and

at liberty to marry whom she pleased, without
any fear of molestation from him. The bit

put down by threats or coutempt she im
mediately set forth with bar rinnphtcr for

before the lOmperor Nicholas, who, immedi
ately sending for the Count, after administer
ing a reprimand, declared it his imperial will
that the marriage should be immediately per
formed in the imperial chapel of the palace.
This was accordingly done, and Miss Ward
became tho Countess of Guprbel to all intents
and purposes ; but, the ceremony over, the

little girl had been attacked with a severe
pain in the head, which ended iu blindness.
She wat taken to an eminent occulist, who
pronounced -her incurable. She wished to
know what the doctor said about ber state,
and lier mother told her. "What mother!"
exclaimed the child "am 1 never to see the
sun, nor the bijtautiful field, nor you, my dear
mother, nor my father ; O I how shall 1
bear it?" She wrung her hands, and wept
bitterly. Nothing seemed to yield her the
slightest comfort till her mother taking a
pocket liable from tbe table, placed it in her
hands. "What, is this mother?" inquired
the disconsolutu little girl. "It is the bible,
my child." Immediately a score of its most
consolatory passages presouted themselves to
her mind, she paused, turned her poor be
nighted eyeball towards the ceiling, while an
angelic expression played on her countenance
and then, as ir filled with the Holy Spirit,
breathed forth in an impassioned, but scarcely
audible whisper' "J'ty fill be done on earth

SPRING WHISPERS.
GT CLARKNCR MAT.
Spring is wafting bnmly odors
From Ihe sunny Southern sears,
And the maple buds are swelling
On the tall nud waving trees ;
There is music in the streamlets
That are sparkling down tbe vale,
And a soft aud gentle murmur
Fills the dewy evcuing gale.
There are furies in the woodlands
Singing all the Sunny day,
As they bring tbe bright huod flowers
From the Southland far away ;
And I know they linger n-ar us,
As the gay hours speed along,
breathing gladsome spirit ttiuviu,
Filling every heart with song.
but the Spring brings not the visions
Tliot it did in yeata of yore,
Ere my heart knew auoht of sorrow,
Ah ! "dear old titrto" is o'er :
And its music can not cheer me
With that soul enthralling spell,
Making earth fur gayer, brighter,
As it ou my spirit fell.
There arc loved ones lowly sleeping
'Neath the cold aud grassy sod ;
Tbo' 1 know that they ere biippy,
For tbey have wandered home to God,
but the heart must ever sadden,
Whuu the loved of earth are goon,
And we miss the voice that gladdened
With its fond, devoted toue.
Aye ! tbe Sprigg is still as joyous
As it wot in days ofynre,
but I think of friend" departed,
And its music-spell is o'er.
There are whispers in eoch zephvr,
As it wanders lightly by.

WORK FOR MAY.
CORN TLANTISO.
The preparation of the ground will now ba
pushed on as urgently as possible, bear in
maid tho necessity ol closer planting man is
nasal, to give you a full crop of eorn. W hile
five feet square will give about 1,700 hills,(
four reel each way will give 2,700 and three
and a half feet each way, more than 3,700
bills. With manure enough and proper
working, this number will grow as well with
out firing and burning as that first named.
But you must not put off working it until Ju
ly. You com 0' go withiiloupb or cultivator
into corn six to eight feet high tho roots,
branching through every inch of tho toil
witbont doing it irreporable damage. Wo
say, therefore, ogain work your corn before it
is planted, and work it immediately after it
is planted, plant closely, and "lay by" early,
if vou expect to make a full crop. Get on
quickly now with the planting rolling the
dry corn in tar till each groin is coaled slitrbt
ly, and sprinkling with gypsum or dry ashes
to separate the grains.

TOTATOES.
This crop is oonstantly growing in importance
As to kiud, we should plant always a good
variety of white potatoes. We have not met
with a yellow potato that any nui-Tial above a
hog should eat, and it is amazing to see the
variety of. miserable root with which tho
market it glutted, called potatoet. For the
main crop, the Peach blow stands high as to
quality and productiveness. The Foxito
(while) we know by experience to be excel
lent io quulity, and much more productive
than the Mercer. Tbe Mercer is oo old fa
vorite as to quality, but a poor producer.
There are several other varieties which are
highly spoken of north of us by their severul
advocates, as tbe Prince Albert and the
bvck eye, which have not been tested with
us. Tho Carter, though a good potato, bus
declined in popularity.
The crops should be plnoted in a rich well
turned sod, if it cuu be had ; though any well
worked, well manured ground will do.
Where rot is feared, it is very desirable we
think the manure the tod sufficiently in the
fall by top dressing, and to apply only a mo
derate dressing of asliea and pluster at the
timo of planting. We are in the habit, how
ever, of using all sorts of manures wilb suc
cess iu immediate connection with thu plant
inga. Peruvian Guano is very good put in
tbe drills at planting. Stable and oilier long
manures we put on top of ihe planting be
fore covering. It acts as a mulch, and what
it very important to thi crop, preserves a
uniform temperature.
Time of planting. Much difference of
Opiuion exist at to tho lime of planting po
tatoes for the main or lata crop. The ulmosl
universal recommendation of Ihe (icricullniul
journals is to plant early. A warlv ev. u us
April and the beginning ol si ay. ill sup
posed thut the tally planting' exempts thu
crop in a measure Irom ihe liability to rot.
W doubt very much the correctness ol this
theory, and think it should nut be considered
in determining the question. Our droughts
are must likely to take pUre between il.e
middle of June tnd tbe middle of August -It
it no advantage lathe crop to have the
tuber forming at tny time during tbo period,
iritbegius to bloom by the middle of Au
gust there will ba time enough to mature in
this latitude, and the growth of the tuber a ill
,he going ou during a peiiod when -llie tem

and wben they will he most likely lo have
sufficient moisture. One -of ihe LFgett crops
bv ever made was iu a season which wa
uunsutlly dry until a tine rain cojue on the
IClh of September. With a markable
flourishing growth of viiiet, there wat cot a
tuber formed until this rain orcuried. Our
experience w the tame iu tbe past year with
a crop planted iu July and just out of the
ground by tbe first of August. We uever
wade a better crop. Our opinion of ike time
of planting it, that the middle of J una is nou
enough, and w should out plant earlier mi
les at a matter of speciul convenience.
