THE OLD t,OQ HOUSE.
BT Hits. L. t. DKltlHO.
The old log house, the swallow's nook,
With Ihuughiful cure bestowed ;
The rustic bri Igc, tne bubbling brook,
The penstock by ihe rn:id ;
The maple trees where every morn
The birJs sung o'or and o'or ;
The golden ciirf of ripened corn,
That bung beside the duor ;
The littlo window over-grown
With honeyi.uckle ,;ay,
1 Through which the sunbeams brightly shone
Through half the suinmur dny J
The soft low bum of wildwood bees
Anions ihe garden flowers;
The muMO of the rustling lenvus
Thut woke the parsing hours ;
The porch where roses fondly cling,
The door that opened wide:
The wooden latch, the leather string,
That always hung outside;
The wido-spre-id hearth and ea.y ohnir,
The pieiures on the will ;
The white-haired father sitting there
Ah, yes, I see tbcm all.
The high-post bedstead curtained round,
Where mother always slept ;
The old oak clicst. with leather bound.
Where all u.y clothes were kept;
The Holy Bonk upon the stand,
So full of heavenly lijilit;
The pressure of a lalher's hand,
A mother's kind good-night.
Oh ! how these scenes of former years,
That long since passed away,
In all their truthful light appear
Before my eyes to-day !

Biillnrd Sjirings, in Virginia, wns a nice

and theiL-loiL" wa it u mutter ol'boinc Biirpr'au
to the gui'iits, mid of much sell'-gi'utulutioii
to the pniiiu tor, when on a line July morn
ing M!Mr. I.ovingstnii utul Cutl.vim inutli'

trur.ks, vulises, guns, gnuiu b.igs, (Hhiug

an emigration into some uiiUuown ntnl suv
Hge vildei'nes. From these apptamnve,
it Vfits gelU' tally hurmised by the IJalUird
community that trout and woodcock might
be the attraction to these two ornaments ol
the beau month, whose fume aa bueh hud
preceded them. It ", however, ' mutter
of conjecture merely, for the young gentle
men, though not ollensively nrrogunt, yet
Uiuintuined a becoming exclusivenets which
prevented tlient from imy familiar question
ing or intrusion on the put t of the lower
ortier of creation ly which they were Eur
rounded. Whnt were their real motives in
wasting their fascinations np.iu the cksert
air of Billiard, may possibly bo gathered
from the fnUuwin diul(i'uf, which took
uhice one tino morning about a wick after
their arrival.
Thev were seated on the piazza of their
own little "cottage," just after breakfast
their feet elevated uiion the railing thereof
and their eyes dieumily wundering over Ihe
landscape, or lazily lollowiiug tlio. misty
nazes ot the vapory w reaths w hich issued
from their moiistiiehcd lips.
"What shall we do to day V queried Carl
yon, dreamily.
"Whatever you like," responded his friend,
with lazy amiability, us he slowly raised
his head, and with jeweled lingers gave a
tr'mle turn to his let black moosiache. lie
was dark Mr. Randolph Lovingsloa and
something in the banditti stjle ; w hile his
friend Carlynn w as fair us u gil l, with wavy
light brown locks, and very blue eyes.
Both were, as the young ladies declined
'perfect loves.' Yet they were not exuetly
dandies. They were too high bred, and
possessed of too rruch good taste, if not
.nod sense, for iiny such vulgar weakness.
They were simply 'gentlemen' rich, hand
some, uristociatie, and fushiouuble. What
more was there to be desired ?
"Rather alow hete hey?" resumed Mr.
Arthur Curlyon, after a meditative pause.
"Aw dure say." After which admission
Mr. Luting-ton lapsed into a poetic reveiie
judging trom the manner in w hich he guzcU
upward at tiie clouds.
'I say, 'JJolph, how much longer nro we
to stay here?' resumed Mr. Carlyon, with a
inild ilcsmiration.
'Till tkotie Uoidey girls and their mother
leave the White Sulpher, responded Dolpli,
cooly. V herent Carlyon laughed.
'You'll tind Roxley gii lsand Huxley ninm
mas everywhere -at lean till you get mar
tied, or lose your fortune or your good look,
I do.' This complacently.
'It's disgusting V murmured Lovingfton.
'Why cant the women let a uinu alone. 1
do believe that had I uot come here as I
did called suddenly away you know, by
the dangerous illuess of a liieud that irre
pressible women would have hud me en
gaged to oue ot the red haired daughters he
lore this.'
The gentleman was slightly excited.
Hence his lengthy speech.
'It it annoying,' drawled Carlyon, in the
tone of a fellow martyr, yet to whom the
martyrdom w as less a trial than to the oiler.
'But here one may rest in peace. There's
only those lleyden girls nice and pretty,
but not of our set. They'll hardly trouble
..'
'Hardly,'
It was at the very moment of arriving at
this satisfactory conclusion that Carlyon,
glancing upward, beheld sums object which
arrested hi cigar when half-way to his lips,
snd caused his eyes to expand slightly. -'I
say, Lovingston, what's tbutt' - '
' Loviugslon'g eye followed suit. , r t -
'15y Jove V was hi low comment.
'The regular thing, sad uosuistsksj' add
ed Carlyon, with emphasis. ;
. The 'regular thing' was a tall, very fair,
rather stately young lady, . with wary
blonde, hair sw.pt buck from w hat poetic
young geptlemen witling iu almutuc, would
esll a 'quccn-like brow.' Shu was attired

dark complexion, ricl dark lair, bazel eyes,
sod red lint, whose half arch expression
contrasted with (he somewhat listless seren-
its of her companion. At this latter appa
rition the two gentlemen exchanged looks
In dumb surDrise.

SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH
"Faulkner, of Wayneville," repented Lo
vingston. as Jem retired from "the preseuce."
"I kuow them now. No great faniijy nr
connection to Bpetik of, but rich and good
position. Don't kuow Miss Early."
"I do j great belle. Witty, attractive, and
all thut-trMe f' '."
"Hal" Lovingslnn hastily brushed away
the ashes from hia cigar, w hile his friend
moved a little out of Ihe hhadu of the morn
ing glories which trel!ised his piazza.
"1 say, Arthur," said LovinMon, suddenly,
"it's the same old story a confounded man
titip, tis usual.1 Don't you see they're pre
tending hot to ecc us never once glanced
this way, by Jove! Think we're admiring
them to distraction. Rah!"
'And with tin expression of indignant dis
gust the gentleman put on Ins t unama, nnu,
accouipauied Uy Ins Irieml, strolled away up
the gorge with an uir of leisurely indifference.
They could not very well avoid meeting
the young ladies at dinner. Carlyon, in fact,
rather got himself up for the occasion by a
few extra touches of the toilette ; but he
might as well et it alone, considering the
pertect iiti.tchiiLtnce manifested by the lair
ones. Miss E.rly did once or tw ice glance
across the table toward them, while careless
ly nibbling a bit of cake, but her cousin was
as serenely uncouscious of their presence as
in tlio morning; and they rose and left the
two gentlemen still in the midst of their
repast, Miss Early talking gaily as they
went out, without even a sido glance at tho
two superior beings whose presenco shed a
halo of- fashion uud exclusivencs over their
end of the table.
"Cool, ch ?" was Lovingston's remark,
helping himself to cucuti,bers.
lu the evening there Was n little dance.
Messrs. Lovingstou and Carlyon lounged
about the piazzas and glanced io at the open
windows, a ml once ur twice condescended
to afford the ladies a view of their unexcep
tionable ut tired fjgures framed in the door
way. Miss Faulkner dunced oucc with a
nice-looking elderly gentleman, with whom
she appeared to be acquainted, and who
Carlyon heard inquire alter her father's
sprained ankle. Miss Early danced w ith the
same gentleman, and ulso with his nephew,
a raw und blushing youth of nineteen. But
neither of thein cast wistlul ok. longing
glances at the uioustuchcd ones in the dour
wuy. "Fine girls Dance well 1" approvingly
observed Carlson.
"Aw, y e s I" udmilted Lovingston.
Bo it continued for some clays. The IJox
ley's remained at tho White Sulphur. Mr.
Faulkner's ankle continued sprained. The
young ladies rode, chatted; took pleasant
Milliliters up the shadowy gorge, and seemed
perfectly satisfied. Discontent grew upon the
two unappreciated ones. It was in vain that
Curlyon udjustcd his necktie In tho most
approved lashiou, or that Lovingston as
sumed the nir of the ung azure. All looked
ou iu admiring awe exc.pt the Misses Faulk
ner and Early. This was a state of things
to the gentlemen novel and surprising, find
at length Carlyon remarked to his friend,
that, considering the scaiciiy of urutiFcment
ut Ballard's, he "retilly shouldn't mind being
iutroduccd to the youug ladies." To which
bis friend kindly assented.
So tho introduction took place on tic
piHZ.tt that afternoon, ond the acquaintance
commenced by Mr. Lovingston remarking to
Miss Faulkner that the weather was Warm,
and Mr. Carlyon inquiring of Miss Early
how she liked Ballard's? To which '.lie young
lady serenely replied, "Exceedingly," ami
the latter vivaciously responded "It is
charming ! a perfect little paradise I The
gorge is surely the most picturesque spot iu
the world, with its moss, feruis, and water
lulls !"
"Aw I yes a pretty place if only cne
knew what to do with one's self in the morn
ings," qualitied Carlyon.
"i'uucan be at no loss," answered Miss
Early, with the least passible tvfiechievous
twinkle in her eyes. "1 am sure I saw you
coming from shooting, this morning with
Jem hearing a wood-cock and a blue jay j
and yesterday there was a trout, I believe,
and a bunch of such dear little silvery fish
almost too young, I thought, to be taken
trom their mothers."
Lovingston laughed, but consoled himself
in the renection tersely expresseu iu uis
friend
"Sly ! Ikon watching us all this while.
Thought so."
Thev were soon very good friend?, walk
ins and ridinu together now, nnd lingering
much in tho shady groves und pathways
which were the charm ot Milliards. And
yet neither of the gentlemen manifested a
preference for either one of the ladies, nnd
it was the same w ith regard to the latter.
They talked, laughed, changed places as
occasion or accident decreed, but ot pre
ference there was not a sign to gratify tho
curiosity of tho many eyes which inquisl
tively followed them in their outgoings and
Incomings. Ann yet it was set uowu as a
tixed fact that such association must by all
laws, natural or sociul, come to "something"
in the end.
Carlyon was the Hist whose eyes vaguely
opened to this fact.
"I say, Lovingston, uon t you tuinu aw :
that we're rather committing ourselves?"
, . , . . . . . , , . ,
"How ?"
"Why, in paying so much attention to

"Aw, yes. Say, yon Jem !" this to the
dhtingue looking negro valet "Hud out who
thmn ladies are."
The dark gentleman departed with the
dignitied nir of one dispatched by princes
upon an important diplomatic mission.
Presently returning, he reported tis follows ;
"Miss Faiflkner, sar, nn her cousin, Miss
Early darter of olo Mister Faulkner, of
Waynsville. Was an rout for de White
Stilp'ur las' night, wen the stage took and
droke down, an' dcy, wid tie rest o' de pas
sengers, was impelled to put tip w Id dis 'ere
wid Ballard's, sur," concluded Jem, check
ing himself in respect to his employers, yet
unable to refrain from pronouncing the name
nf Ballard's in a tone of gentlemanly disdain.
"Wish the gurls were here," observed Car
lyon, punsivcly.
"Yes. They're amusing."
"We'll miss" 'em."
"Can't help it."
"Yes we can."
Lovingston turned his eyes in listless
curiosity upon his friend.
"What's up now ?"
Carlyon looked thoughtfully down npon
the brook that ran murmuring past over the
scattered rocks.
"Lovinaston, wo msy as well do it."
"Do what t"
"Why. what they and everybody expect
marry 'em t"
"I'hew l"
"Why riot?"
"I'm sure I don't know."
"They're cburming girls, and sufficiently
good pnrtii."
"Yes."
"Better than we meet with every day."
"Well aw yes."
"And they like its, you know, and it's
aguiost my principles to trillu with a girl's
feelings in this way. And they're rich, you
know."
"Yes."
"Suppose we do it ? We'll have to come
to it some time or other, you know that is,
uturry somebody or other."
"Confounded bore. And yet aw one
must marry, I suppose, and one may do
worse than this."
"Much worse."
A long thoughtful silence.
"You're agreed, 'Dolph ?"
"Why aw I've no great objection.
They're rich, and pretty, us you say, and
accomplished, aud ugreeable. They'll be
dmired, you know, and do us credit iu
society."
" Inch do you prefer? '
"Really, I can't say. Both, or either."
"Just my case. Sometimes I think one,
then the other."
"Miss Faulkner's the handsomest."
"But Miss Early's the wittiest and most
piymthte.''
"lcs. tine eyes."
"But Miss Faulkner's complexion is tie
best. So white and red."
'I can't decide. Y'ou choose.'
'2u ; you. I'll be satisfied with either.'
'So wiii I. I like boll.'
'Pooh 1 I w ish we could decide.'
'I'll tell you. Do you see that straw
angina theie, just on tho hemlock bough
before us ?'
'Well!'
'Well it can't bans' there long. The
wind' II blow it down immediately. Now we
w ill call the straw after one of them say
Miss Faulkner and if it fulls on your side,
she's yours ; if on my side, mine.'
'Done !'
So they lay there and watched the straw
as it trembled upon it s insecure perch a
it of straw wafted op into the hemlock
from the neighboring meadow. Presently
t wavered, became detached, and tell slowlv,
first to the right, an 1 then to the left, until
finally it descended suddenly to Lovings
ton s teet.
"She's mine," quoth that young man, se
en el y.
Yes; nuu Miss Early miue. Are you
atisfk-d ?'
'Quite. And you ?'
'Perfectly. And cow. you see, it is all
smooth sailing. I'll yes I'll propose this
vcrv night.'
So will I. It will save trouble, and they're
no doubt prepared for it.'
Whereupon the two arose, and resumed
their wav homeward.
The night was balmy, and splendid with
moon-light. Two couples sauntered on tho
broad lawn, a little apart trom the rest, anil
spoke in low murmurs, while two pairs of
bright eyes dropped nuxle.-tly, and two
white hands trembled a little on the mascu
line arms that supported them. What was
said we don't kuow, and ii wo did, wouldn't
tell. Wn only know what took place when
at a lute hour the two couples finally met in
the centre of the lawn. The ladies looked
serenely happy, tie gentlemen a little be
wildered.
Ten o'clock. Papa will be expecting us
in,' said Miss Faulkner.
'One more draught of the magic waters.
said Miss Early : and she bounded down the
slope, followed by Miss Faulkner, to the
spring whence gushed the healing fountain.
The two gentlemen, following more slowly,
toimd themselves side by side.
I sny, 'Dolph,' whispered Carlyon, -wiiac
did she say ?'
'Ao.'
'So did Miss Early.' .
A look of moody sympathy wasexebanged.
Mis Baulkner's adieu was less cordial.
She whispered something in her cousin's
ear as they were suoui parting iroui umir
escort at their door, and tie latter turned
pleasantly.
'A parting word, gentlemen. It is this.
When next you stake your fortunes upon
the falling of a straw, bo sure you look on.
the other side of the rock, lest there chu-ce
to be witnesses of the affair.'
She boa-ed gracefully, and the door closed
on them.
'By Jupiter' muttered Carlyon in a low
voice.
'Yes aw by Jove? ' .
And the young men are still unmarried.

Among the many things which timo has
brought to light is the answer to the oft
repented query, "Who killed Rraddock ?"
During that memorable retreat of the British
antl provincial troops, Braddock ordered
tint his troops should not protect them
selves behind trees. One Jacob Fatisctt
presumed to disobey this order, when Brad
dock, in passion, struck him with a sword.
Ton. Fausctt, who was but a short distance
from his brother, saw the whole transaction
and immediately shot the General through
the lungs. The Hon. A. Sicwart, of Union
town, Pa., snys his father often heard Fan
sett acknowledge this. After Bruddock fell
Ins body Was carried by the troops for four
days, when he expired. He was interred In
the middle of the load, so that all the sol
diers, w agons and horses might pass over
and obliterate nil vestiges of his grave from
the eyes of the savages. About twenty
nine yeuts ago some laborers who were re
pairing the road, came upon the remains,
find taking a number of the most prominent
hones reinterrcd the others. Sometime
afterword the hones were collected and sent
to Pcale's museum, which was in Philadel
phia at thut time. Braddock's grave is in
Fayette county, this State, and is marked
by a plain shingle nailed to a tree, where
part of the bones are interred. This is the
only monument which serves to point out
to the traveller the last resting place of the
proud and brave but unfortunate victim of
Indian warfare. Genim of Liberty.
A Mplt-tulisI Italei-lnluiueiit iu IJo
ton. A brilliant entertainment was given in
Boston on Thursday evening, hv n vonno-
millionaire of that city, on the occasion of j
uis coming or age and into possession of his
estate. A paper of that city says :
"Horticultural Hall was last evening the
scene of a very costly nnd a very fashion
able entertainment, which create'd a great
sensation among the beuu monde.
"The party last evening was given by a
wealthy lady of this city, in honor of her
son, the heir to a princely fortune whoso
father was ono of the millionaries of Rostou.
No pains or expense were spared to render
it superior to anything of the kiud ever
seen here. The total cost was from $15 -000
to $20,000. The floral decorations of
tne two uaiis were eight thousand camelias,
innumerable roses, calla lilies, nnd ntle
choice flowers rare plants, etc.
i ne guests w no arrived in carriages in
full dress, alighted on a carpeted sidewalk,
beneath a canopy, and were escorted up
stairs to the dressing rooms each side of the
main entrance, supper was announced at
11 o'clock. There wcro several large tables
in the centre of the hall loaded with the
choicest viands ond wines, and numerous
small tables were arranged around the hall
at which the guests were served."
In a recent pastoral, Bishop Arthur Cleve
land Cnxe says :
"When I "see tlio tawdrr fashions t.
costly vulgarity and wicked extravagance
of the times, I feel sar thut thousands of
American women are strangers to tho first
law of refinement simplicity iu manners
and attire.
"When I sec that thousands of Americon
women read the most shameful romances
and the most degrading uewspapers ; fre
quent the vilest dramatic entertainments
and join in dances too shocking to be nam
ed among Christians ; I feel that Christian
matrons are becoming too few, and that civ
ilized heathenism is returning to the fields
we have wrested from the Indians.
"WhcnJ read, daily, of the mott ungodly
divorces and of crime against social purity
and agaiust human life itself, which are too
gross to bo mentioned more particularly, I
ieei mat ioo ciauy ox our countrywomen
are without God in the world, aud that ra.
dical reforms are necessary in the systems of
cuut-aviuu on w uicu me young women of
America are ciepenuent lor their training.
"When I see thousand of households in
which young girls are reared for a life of
pleasure, without reference to duty, I can
not wonder at these results, nor at the
misery in which they involve families and
communities. Sow the wind and reap the
whirlwind 1
"As u christian Bishop, therefore, I make
my appeal to you. Christian women, and I
ae you to begin the reformation, by faith
fully bearing your testimony against all that
tends to the degredution of your fcx, and
tho more so, w hen such crime is not only
winked at, but receives countenance in cir
cles which ought to be'cxemplary."
It may be interesting to some persons to
learn a little about the private character of
some of tho prominent men of Mexico. The
following was clipped from the private
Black Bock, a diary kept by one of Maxi
milian's private secretaries in Mexico, and
reveals some curious personal traits of the
chief actors in tho Imperial tragedy in that
country. The notorious General Juan X.
Almonto, one of the chief promoters of the
intervention, is described us "hondst, avari
cious, and revengeful." The savagery of
Marbucz is also properly booked, with tie
remark, "Sent to Jerusalem." Of Miraraon,
it is told that laving once lost at play the
money of a company of which he was the
captain and treasurer, he drew his sword,
aud swept all the stakes back again into his
pocket. Then follow a recount of the way
in w hich be upset bis fellow-rascal Zulogit,
tcok possession of the Government, took
the field, levied contributions for the army,
and spent the money at tie gaming table.
U uomn is set down in black, tie was, ac
cording to all accounts, a cold and vulgar
villain, lie sometimes decreed death be
tween cigar pull's. "General, I am going to
shoot you," bo remarked to an astonished
prisoner, alter taking a last swallow of cho
colate with him.. The General was Marcial
Lascano, and be was shot an hour afterward
at Tucubaya.
Whiskky foh Rats. A correspondent
of tie Arlanntti Coittertaiite, whose house
was nver-run w ith rata, says a servant girl,
who had seen the effect ot w hisky on bipeds,
thought she would try an experiment npon
rats. Accordingly she took a small quau
tity, made it very sweet with sugar, crum
bled in bread enough tor the crowd, ana
set the dish in the cellar. A few hours after
she went down and found several rats glo
riously "luddled," engaged in turowlog po
tato parings, and hauling one another up
to drink. These were easily disposed of,
and those not killed left the premises imme
diately, suffering from a severe headache.
Rufus Cboate once asked a witness what
his occupation was.- Tho sanctimonious
Individual answered i "I am a minister of
tbe gospel, sir a candle of the Lord." "Of
what deuomination, sir V "in Baptist." "i
