SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL
P0 ETICAL
LINEB ON A6KSLXTON,
. oome loriy year ago in lol lowing poem wsn
found la the London Morning Ckroutcle. Every
enort was vainly made to discover tie author, eves
to the offering of a reward of fifty guineas All that
rer transpired was that the poem, In a fair clerkly
hand, was found near a akeletoa of remarkable
symmetry of form, in the museum ef the .Rojal
College of Burgeons, Lincoln's Inn, London, and
mat tb curator of the museum sent it to th
morning Chrontcle.
Behold this ruin ! 'Twas a skull , ,
One of ethereal spirit full.
This Barrow oell was Life's retreat,
This spaoo was Thought's mysterious seat.
What beauteous visions JSIIed this spot,
Whet dreems of pleasure long forgot.
Nor Hope, nor Joy, ner Lore, nor Fear, .
Have left one trace of record hero.
Beneath this mouldering eaaopy, -Onoe
shone the bright and basy eye ;
ui irv ni at me uismai void
Ir once with love that eye employed,
If with Bo lawless fire it gleamed,
But through tbe dews of kindnea beamed,
That eye aball be forever bright.
W hen star and sun are sunk In night.
Within this hollow cavern bung .
' Th ready, swift, and tuneful songu.
If falsehood' honey Is disdained,
And when ltoould not praise, was chained ;
If cold ia virtue' cause it spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke,
The silent tongue shall plead for the ''
Whes time unveils eternity.
Say, did these fingers delve the minT
Or with th envied rubios shin ?
Ta hew th reck or wear tbe gem
Can little bow avail to tbein.
But if tha page of truth they sought,
Or comfort to th mourner brought, ;
These band a richer meed shall claim
Thaa all that wait on Wealth or Fain.
Avails it, whsthor bar or shod,
Tha feet tbe path of duty trod ?
If from the bowers of Ens they fled,
To seek affliction's humble shed ; -If
Grandeur' guilty pride they spurned,
And home to virtue cot returned,
These feet with angel's wings shall vie,
And tread the palaoea of the sky.
TALES & SKETCHES.
, THE ORUUHI.Y'S MTORY, .
A dark volume of smoke shot mi frnm
the city Atlanta ia ono vust spirul column;
and then came a ilcud, heavy, rumbling re
port. Ono of the arson ul wag blown up
by a shell. This was followed ly a fierce
Ore, which shot up, almost simultaneously
in different point. A cheer came from our
batteries, aud was taken Up along the whole
line.
"War is a cruelty said a general beside
rac; "we do not know how many innocents
are now suffering in that imaeruble city."
"I'm dog gone if I like it," tnid it sol
dier. Blaupincr bis brawny hand unon h'-a
thigh ; "1 ciin tight tny weight in rattle-
siittke, scaramouches, or sneaking rebels;
ont this thmi! of smoking out wutneu and
children, datn ma if its liiir."
"Pshaw !" exclaimed an orderly near us,
on whom the general placed much confi
dence as a scout, and who went through
some hair-breadth escapes; "the women
are tbo worst of them ; (.no of them put the
rope once on my ueck to bung we."
"Indeed 1 bow was that liuittley t"
"At the battle of Peach-tree Creek I got
captured, and was brought before General
Wood to be pumped ; aud as be could not
get anything out of me, he hud ordered me
back to the other prisoners, when ac officer
attended by an escort, rode up and saluted
the general."
" 'Hal Mademoiselle Major, how do you
do ?' replied the general, dotting his hat.
"Weil, general j and she jumped off her
horse, threw her bridle to the orderly, and
politely returned the salute.
"Tbe the-UHjor was strangely dressed,
the wore a cap decomUd with feathers and
gold lace, flowing pantB with a full kind of
velvet coat coming just below her hip and
fastened with a rich crimson sash, and part
ly open at the bosom.
"In her belt she carried a revolver, and
by ber side a regulation sword. I looked
at her; her feature were rather sunburned,
giving her a manly appearance. Only tor
her voluptuous but, little hands, and pecu
liar airs, I wight have taken her to be a
very handsome little officer of the masculine
gender. , .
"At I gazed at ber, she looked full to my
fat ( and turning to tbe general, she
pointed her whip at me and asked, who it

"SeTcn.Tltlrtirsj at Pur."
If General Bucks had waited a day or
two, he might have found an illustration for
his glorification speech more suggestive than
any perhaps in the marvellous array of facts
about national progress with which he start
led Congress. He would have found the
money column in his morning newspaper
leading off with the announcement "Seven
thirties at par." So uuturally came this
statement, that people acceptedit' as a mat
ter of course; an ordinary consequence of
rational existence a more financial growth.
Yet, when we look at it closely, we find
that this one sentence, quoted closely, from
a commercial report, "Seven-thirties at par,"
is a remarkable illustration of nationality.

thought so at the time. We do not think
to now. He had his ear close down, near
to the heart of the people, and he felt every
pulsation ttrong, regular and deep; no , sign
ossification or syncope, and he knew that
the people were true, and that whether it
were one million, or ten thousand millions,
every dollar would be given to the nation,
even to the last cow in the barn, or tbo lost

A good story is told of Ex-Governor Ran

Foreign Minister and was spending a week
or two in Paris en route:

"One morning, while sitting in the porch,

round that n e had nothing of an national
cnaracrer except ianKee Doodle. 'Well,

obeyed orders, and started the machine.
rue Englishmen stood it about fifteen min

Yankee Doodle by the day's work, gave it up

"Now,' said the Ex-Governor, calling the
organ grinder to him, 'I wont you to go and

From that he went to the Star Spungled

great rage of her Majesty's subjects in tbe

"For three clays the programme was re
peated, until the poor fellows found it was
going to be a regular thing, and, to save
themselves from being Yankee Doodled to

Tnn Lahoest Man is TriE Woni.D. It
seems that Tennessee can boast of having
produced the largest man in the world. Tho
Jackson Whig of tbe Slst ult. says:
''Our attention ' has been directed to a
statement going the rounds of the newspa
pers, giving the weight of a fat German, said
to be the largest man in tbe world. lie
weighed something over 500 lbs.
Now we published in 1857, the death of
Miles Darden, a citizen-of Henderson, in an
adjoining county, in this State. We men
tioned his weigh, at the time of his deat h,
which was to enormous, that the figures ex
cited less of wonder than derision. At that
time politics ran very hiuh, and editors
eagerly seized upon everything out of which
tney could make a supposed or real capital.
We remember that a Democratic editor in
Indiana, copied our article, and said that it
was in keeping with all Whig statements
oot to be credited.
Now we know that we can find ono hun
dred citizens in Henderson county who will
vouch for tho truth ot the statement we are
going to make; and at the risk Of being raked
dowu y some incredulous radical wo will
republish the substance of our former article.
Miles Darden was, oeyond all question, the
largest man in tbe world, at least since the
daya when there were giant in tbe land.
Its height was seven teet ami six inches-
two inches higher than Porter, the Kentucky
giant. His weight waa a traction over one
thousand pounds. He measured around the
waist six feet aud four inches, and it took
one hundred feet of plsukto make his colli 0.
Ho was 35 years old when he died, full of
humor and possessed of fine sense, though
very sensitive on the subject of corpulency.
We knew Mr. Darden fifteen years before bis
death. He then weighed only 400 hundred
pounds, but continued to increase at he be
came oldor." 1

RECIPES, fee
Cakes, aWnddlagva, etc.
A few hints respecting tbe making and
baking of caket may bo of service.
Eggt should always be broken into a cup,
the whites and yelka separated.' and thev
should always bo strained. Breaking tho
eggs thus, the bud ones may beeanjiy reject
ed without spoiling the others, and so canto
no waste. As eggs arc used instead of yeast,
they should be very thoroughly whisked:
tbey are generally sufficiently beaten when
thick enough to carrv the droo that falls
troin the whisk.
Loa f Sugar should be well Dotindejd. and
then sifted through a fins sieve.
Currant should be nicelv washed, nicked
dried in a cloth, and then carefully examined,
viiai no pieces oi grit or stone may be lett
amongst them. Thev should then be laid
or, a dish before the fire, to become tho
roughly dry ; as, if added lo the other damp
ingredients, cakes will be liable to be heavy.
Qood Butter should always bo used in the
manufacture of cakes ; and if beaten to a
cream, it saves much time and labor to warm,
but not melt, it before beating.
Less butter and ggs are required for
cakes when yeast is mixed with the other
ingredients.
Tho heat of the ovon is of great import
ance, especially for large cakes. If the beat
be not tolerably fierce, tbe batter will not
rise. If the oven is too quick, and there
is any daDger of the cake burning or catch
ing, put a sheet of clean paper over the top.
Newspaper, or paper that has been printed
on, should cever be used for this purpose.
To know when a cake Is sufficiently bak
ed, plunge a clean knife into the middle of
it; draw it quickly out, and if it looks in tbo
least sticky, put the cake back, and close the
oven door until tbe cako is done.
Cakes should be kept in closed tin canis
ters or jars in a dry place. Those tnado
with yeast do not keep so long as those
made without it. Qudey'l Lady't Bode.
Mock Cream. The following directions
are both' simple and economical, and are the
basis of most cream prepared for ball sup
pers, and similar entertainments. 'Beat tbe
yelks of six eggs, and add them to a pint
of milk at boiling temperature. Stir tho
mixture over a clear fire until it begins to
thicken, but be careful that it does not boil.
Then pass the mixture through a fine sieve.
The above directions apply to creams which
are to be thickened with isiogluasor gelatine.
If neither of these is to be used, it will be
necessary to add th whites of eggs in pro
portion to the stiffness ream red. Whilst
stirring tbe mixture to thicken it, care mutt
be taken that it only reaches boiling beat.
If the mixture to be suffered to boil, the
whitet of tbo egg will curdlo.
