WELLSBORO, TIOGA .COJJNTY, PA., THURSDAY MORNING. MAY 24, 1860. ' ASLEEP. An hour before, she spoko of things That memory to the dying brings, • And kiss’d me all the while ; Theni 'a£ler.Bome swefiC parting words, She seemed among the flowers and birds, ~UntD she fell asleep. *TwaB summer then, *tis antnmn now, The crimson leaves fall off the bough, And strew the gravel swoep; I wander down the graded walk. And muse on all the happy talk We hod beneath the limes; And resting on the garden ’float,'• * Her old Newfoundland at my feei, I think of other times: Of golden eves, when she and I k Sat watching here the flushing sky, The sunset and tbo sea; Or heard the children in the lanes, home the harvest wains, And shouting in their glee. But when the daylight dies away, And ships grow- dusky in the bay, These recollections cease ; And in the stillness of the sight, Bright thoughts that end in dreams as bright. Communicate their peace. T wake and see the morning star, And hear the breakers on the bar, Tho voices on the shore ; And then, with tears, X long to be Across a dim unsounded sea, With her forevermore- THE PATCHED OLD LADY. The church was fashionably full. From choir and altar went up loud-voiced praise to God. The organ rolled out its mighty tones from lungs of brass. There was a flut tering, rustling motion, as of the moving of myriad silks ; the gentle breath of hundreds of fans, while soft white feathers, and rings, con spicuous under their gloves, and tremulous laces, and faint, sweet odors, attracted the eye, and regaled the senses. The preacher was in his pulpit—more Hke a throne it was with its bangings of lustrous damask, its tassels and fringes, and cushions of crimson velvet. The Bible before him looked heavy with gold, and its splendid leaves flashed at their edges as they were turned over with reverent touch. .The pastor’s wife sat in the first pew—a delicate, pretty-looking woman, well-dressed and much admired. From there, all along, even to the door, beauty and wealth sits intent on listening to the rich tones of the pastor. .Farther along still, in a corner pew, very near the entrance, sits an old and faded woman.— Her bonnet and dress are black, but quite shabby. Her gloves are mended and her old shawl patched. Her face is meek, sweet in ex pression, though very much wrinkled. Her posture denotes great humiliation, but as she listens to the words of hope, a tear now and then steals down the deep furrows, and the pale orbs washed with much weeping, are reverently lifted to heaven. r "‘Did you notice that old woman 1 in the door seat ?” asked Mrs. Dix, slightly shaking out the heavy flounces of her dress. ‘‘No, I did not; who is she ?” was the reply, ending with a question. “Some poor old thing or other; she seems like a Christian, though. I suppose we ought, some of us, to speak to her.” “She gets out of church so quickly;” said another lady, overhearing the conversation, “that no one can catch an opportunity to say a word. She’s dreadfully poorly dressed, too; what a mag-ni-fi-cent sermon we had to-day!” “Splendid—o, did you see our new comers?” “You mean the lawyer’s folks—yes I’m glad he’s taken a seat with us. What a beautiful family he has 1” j “Beautiful indeed 1 and dressed in such ex quisite taste. Nothing in the least gaudy but perfectly genteel, and very rich.” “They say he is immensely wealthy; he came from Boston. His father died a year ago, and left him a hundred thousand dollars. How they did listen 1 I hope they will be un der conviction before a great while.” “What! are they not religious?” ' “Bless you, no. They are very nice, moral people, though—better than professing Chris tians, I’m told, but then far from being pious.” “Sister Dix, we must cultivate their acquaint ance. What a field for doing good.” "01 yes; great indeed. Did you notice what elegant hymn books they carried I Tur key morocco and gilt—every one.of them, down to the smallest child.” “Noticed that. T think they have paid our preacher quite a compliment. There are so many men of talent in town." And so they wended their way down the church steps, talking of the new acquisition., That evening thje eloquent preacher said to his wife, “My dear, I had very attentive lis teners in the new family who took a pew last week.” “I thought so,” was her reply. “We must call upon them immediately.” “Certainly ; I shall be ready at any time.” The next day little Minnie, the youngest daughter of the pastor, came home, admiring a beautiful bunch of flowers which she held in her hand. “See, mother—-just see—how beautiful! The old lady called me in again to-day, and took these from her little garden.” “I can’t think who it is that gives these flowers to the child,” said Mrs. Ivers, the pas tor’s wife.” “0 1 she’s a real nice old lady, mother. She says she loves father, and thinks he does a deal of good. She had a w'riting-desk, and was writing when she called me in, for she had a pen in her’ hand. She skys she hasn’t been here a great while. I asked her if father had called to see her, and she said no, but she didn’t expect it yet knew he had a great deal of calling to do.” !EST “Who can it be, husband ?" “I can’t think, I am sure," was the reply. “Father, won’t you go with me some time?” asked little Minnie.’ “Certainly, I will,” said her father, “She kisses so nice,” said the child, art lessly. “She don’t make a fuss about it, but is so neat; so different from almost all old ladies.” The pastor and his wile smiled. A few days after this, Mr. Ivors was Out on a collecting four. It was for-an important ob ject, for which he had Volunteered; to work, and give his fiuie. He drove around town, little Minnie beside him. “Oh!’ what a splendid house!” said the child, clapping her bands, as they stopped before a stately mansion. “Who lives here?” “The new family, dear, that sits in the pew behind ns, Don’t yon remember those pretty little girls ?” “Yes ; but I didn’t like ’em,” said Minnie, “because they didn’t smile to me when 1 smiled to them, but tossed their heads so.” “You shouldn’t notice such things, Minnie,” said her father, helping her out of the carriage; “perhaps as they are city folks they want to be introduced.” “I didn’t,” replied Minnie, significantly. They went up the marble steps, ami were soon, seated in tho great parlor. Tho lawyer’s wife and the lawyer’s daughters came in—were polite—talked of the weather—the society— several little nothings, but not a word of that chiefest thing, personal piety. 01 how cold, unprofitable, barren was the conversation 1 The minister felt congealed; little Minnie fidgeted, after trying in vain to make tho little igirla talk. ‘The older young ladies sat looking tery interesting, but scarcely opened their lips. However, when then tho minister opened to them his mission, and said that he did not ex pect over five dollars from any one subscriber, the lady immediately took from a silver ports monaie a new, rustling bank note of that pre cise amount and handed it, with a smile to the clergyman. The visit was ended. “How good the sun does look I" cried little Minnie, springing from the last marble step. “I was so cold in there.” “So was I,” echoed her father, in his thought. “0! there's my dear old woman's house; that used to bo a shop you know. Now you must go and see her.” So, true to his promise, the minister sprang out, and Minnie, all eagerness, led him in. An aged woman, very neat, very smiling, arose from a desk where she was writing, and wel comed them warmly. “I am not busy, you see,” she said, laying down her pen ; and forthwith she began to talk of the last Sabbath sermon, with a beauty of language that quite astonished the pastor. “It is very strauge X have not seen you be fore,” he said. “I know you had enough to do, with such a large flock,” she replied. “But where do you sit ?” “I have been in the last pew but one, on the left side ; your sexton showed me that one, and I have, ever since I have been here, sat in it. It is, however, so inconvenient that I believe, as I have made up my mind to attend your church, I shall hire a seat farther up.” The pastor's cheek burned. He remembered the old, solitary woman in the poor seat. “Father is getting money for the missiona ries ; don’t you want to give him some?” asked the minister’s little daughter, innocently, “Yes, dear—l’m sure I do. I’ve just twenty dollars of my annuity left. I was wondering how I should dispose of it, for you must know I have taken to the freak of giving it away in my old age. I can support myself by copying. Till the Lord takes away my strength, all the money belongs to him.” “Is not this too much ?” said the pastor, taken quite by surprise. “It is the Lord’s,” said the old lady; “do with it for him, os it seemeth to thee good.” That visit was one of prolonged, of unex pected interest. The old lady repeated parts of the history of her life. She had been a wealthy, learned and ambitious woman. Her place had been in courts, and about royalty. But terrible reverses had chastened and eleva ted her spirit, and she had brought ambition, learning, and what little wealth she had, and laid it at the foot of the cross. Never did the pastor enjoy a richer intellectual or spiritual feast. The wealthy lawyer and his family contin ued for many months to attend the society under Mr! Ivers, then the summer came, and they flew like birds to a watering place. The church'was never richer for them, but while the old lady, who had attracted no attention beyond a little curiosity, remained on earth, her worldly wealth, and her godly walk and conversation were full of untold benefit, and caused more than one thoughtless church mem ber to blush for their want of interest in the patched old lady who sat in the poor scat. Marshal Net’s Death Scene. —The ven geance of the allied powers demanded some victims; and the ’intrepid Ney, who had well nigh again put the crown on Bonaparte’s head at AVatcrloo, was one of them. Condemed to be shot, he was led to the garden of Luxem burg, on the morning of the 7th of December, and placed in front of a file of soldiers, drawn up to kill him. One of the officers stepped up. to bandage bis eyes, but be rebuked him, say ing, “Are you ignorant that for twenty-five years I have been accustomed to face both ball and bullet ?’’ Ho then lifted his hat above his head, and with the same calm voice that had steadied’his columns so frequently in the roar and tumult of battle said: “I declare, before God and man, that X never betrayed my coun 'try—may my death render her happy ! Vice la .France !” He then turned to the soldies, and striking his hand on his’breast, gave the order, “Soldiers, fire!” A simultaneous discharge followed, and the bravest of the brave sank to rise no more. “He w.ho had fought five hun dred battles for France, not one against her, was shot as a traitor t” As I looked on the spot whore he fell, I could not but sigh over his fate. True Jhe broke his oath of allegiance—so did others, carried away by their attachment to Napoleon and the enthusiasm that hailed his approach to Paris —still, he was no traitor. “Great Men never swell. It is only three cent individuals, who are salaried at the rate of two hundred dollars a year, and dine on pot%toes and dried herring, who put on airs, flashy waistcoats, swell,' puff, blow and en deavor to give themselves a consequential ap pearance. No discriminating person can ever mistake the spurious for tho genuine article. The difference between the two is as great as that between a bottle of vinegar and rKhottle of the pure j - dice of the grape.” It may fairly be contended that inventerate laziness is the mast effective labor-saving ma chine ever ihven’ted. [From the Londop Naw«, April 18th.] An English View of Ruffianism of the Ring.. We trust that the most fastidious of our rea ders will not shirk the report of the great Prize-Fight, which we re-publish from contem porary columns. It is net os “faithful-chron iclers,” as the members of our profession are sometimes called, that we print the account of the contest between Heenan and Sayers. We have never acknowledged, and we never will acknowledge, the obligation of conductors of newspapers to become the sympathetic recor ders of whatever takes place, just because it happens to find a considerable measure of sup port amongst the public. 'While so much of good that is done every day is commonly held to be “unsuitable for the columns of a news paper,” it would be hard indeed if we were bound to mirror the worst side of human na ture. There are times, however, when the sen sitiveness of quiet, easy-going people ought not to be spared, and we thinlf that English society, which, forewarned for weiks, permitted the exhi bition at Ash yesterday, has no right to complain at hdng confronted with its hideous details. If there are any of onr readers who can pernse it without regret, we confess we cannot print it without shame. This brutal display would not have taken place but i for the-countenance the fight has received from persons better instruc ted than the classes which are generally under stood to support the prize-ring. We live in times of reactions and.revivals. Because some new delusions have been detected, old lies arc welcomed back as credible, and surely none of them is greater than the pretence that society can be in any way renovated or strengthened by the spectacle of two men fighting in a ring until their disfigured [faces cease to have a hu man likeness. If what took place at Ash yes terday is good, we ought to have more of it. We ought to be able to se£ it at the Alhambra and elsewhere for our shillings, see it under the sanction of the law and the regulation of the police; but if it is bad, it ought not to he al lowed anywhere. In a sporting print published last evening, we find the remark inspired at yesterday’s fight. “When we saw the immense numher of first class men our hearts warmed, and we thought of the days of our grandfath ers, when the glorious old Corinthians looked upon the ring as an institution of the coun try." And let the same authority tell what these first class men oara&to see. The American, we are told, excited the ’ admiration -of his oppo nents. “His right eye was nearly blinded early in the contest; about the twenty-fifth round his left was also fast going to sleep. He had an awful ‘picture gallery’ to look at. Hia snout was like that of a ringed boar, and he had fearful gashes in his cheeks, but still he fought with indomitable pluck. When he hit, his blows were terrific, and sounded on the cars of the spectators like the crack of a hunting whip.” The right arm'of the Englishman, we are told, was-disabled by a steam hammer blow from his opponent at about the sixth round.— “He was caught on the ropes twice by his mad dened adversary, who placed Tom’s head in chancery, and on the second occasion would have strangled him outright had not the ropes been cut.” ; And this is the “noble art,’’, io see which hun dreds, it is said thousands, paid their three guineas apiece yesterday. For this the days of our grandfathers, those “glorious old Corinthi ans,” are to be revived. The simple account of the matter appears to be that the American, a man in the flower of youth, much taller; longer in the arm, three stone heavier than his oppo nent, early gained an advantage over Sayers by sheer strength, disabling the right arm, and from that time directing his blows to the undefended side. AVhat beyond the well'ascertained fact that Sayers was a man of skill and fortitude, was to bo taught by the conflict of two men so unequally matched, .we cannot conceive. It is given out that as the conflict is still undeci ded it must of necessity be resumed and con cluded some day or another. Y/e trust not.— Now that the has grown up al most without knowing what prize-fighters are, has been made acquainted with their true char acter, we may expect that it will be long before another exhibition like the greatfightof Sayers and Keenan is permitted. Our civilization has cost much, and we cannot afford to go bach to old ruffianism. American Dietetic Abominations. —No oth er civilized people, probably, are accustomed to. abuse their stomachsiso badly as we Americans of the United States.: Our food is often badly chosen, still more frequently spoiled in cooking, and almost allways eaten in utter disregard of dietetic rules. AVe eat far to much flesh [meat (and especially pork, in its most objectionable from,) and too little bread, vegetables and fruits. Our hot, soda raised Biscuits, hot griddle cakes, saturated with butter, and the hot, black, intol erable coffee, which form,the staple of our breakfasts, are, in the way in which they are taken, among the most deleterious ever put upon a table.-.- Pies are another American abomination and have no small share of onr health to answer for. The mince pie as it is generally made, is the abomination of abomina tions. Some one describes it as “very white and indigestible at the top, very moist and in digestible at the bottom, and with untold hor rors in the middle.”! Even our bread is un wholesome. Now add to our badly chosen dishes and our objectionable cookery, the rapid eating, imperfect mastication, and the continu ally interrupted digestion which ouf intense and feverish life necessitates, and we have a complication of abuce which would, one must believe, have long since utterly destroyed the vitialjstamina of any , people not originally en dowed with marvelous physical powers.’ A soldier who was once wounded in battle, set up a terrible bellowing. An Irishman who laid near, with both legs shot off, immediately sung out —“Bad luck to the likes of ye—do ye think that nobody is kilt but yers'elf.” Goon News tor Men.— The recent change in the style of female costume spears at once prudent- and amiable.; it is a sign that the ladies consider that their charms have been too Long Wasted.

NO. 43. ‘'Penciling! by the Way,” The New York Ledger, -sometime since; through Fanny Fern, contained some sharp hints for its lady readers. 'According to Fanny— - “There are two things a woman can’t do. Ist She can’t sharpen a lead pencil. Give .her one and see. Mark bow jaggedly she hacks away every particle of wood from the lead, leaving an unsupported spike, of the latter, which. breaks immediately asyoutry to use it. You can, almost forgiye the male creature his compas, sibnate contempt, as chucking her under the chin, he twitches. it from hey awkward little paw, and rounds and tapers it off in the most ravishing manner for durable use. *** • . * I wish to hear no argument on that point, be cause when I once make up my mind, "all the king’s men” can’t change it. Well then—Sec ondly : A woman can’t do up a bundle. She takes a whble newspaper to wrap op a paper of pins, and a coil of rope to tie it, and it comes undone at that; When Igo shopping—which it is sometimes my hard lot to do—l look on with the fascinated gaze of a bird in the neigh borhood of a magnetic serpent, to watch clerks do up bundles,. How the paper falls into just the right creases ; how neatly they turn .it over, and tuck it under, and tie it up, and then throw it down on the counter, as if they had done tho most commonplace thing in the world, instead, of a deed which might—and.faith— does! task the ingenuity of “angels 1” It is perfectly as tonjshing. ~ Thirdly—l might allude to the fact tha£ women cannot carry an umbrella, or rather to the very peculiar manner in which they perform that duty, but I won’t. I scorn to turn traitor to a sex who, whatever may be their faults, aro always loyal to each other. So I ehall not say, as I might otherwise have said, that when they unfurl the parachute, alluded to, they put it right down over their noses, take the middle of the sidewalk, raking off men’s hats and women’s bonnets, ns they go, and walking right into the breakfast of some unfortunate wight,' with tha« total disregard of the codsequent gttfp, which, to be understood, must be jfeZj, as tiie offender cooks up one corner of tho parachute, and looks defiantly for the victim who has had the effron tery to come into the world and hazard the whalebone and handle of. her “umherile !” No ; I won’t speak of anything of the kind; be sides, has not a celebrated writer remarked, that when dear “women is cross, it is only be cause she issiclc.” Let .us hope he is right.— We all know that is not the cause of a ban’s crossness. Give him his favorite dish, and you may dine off him afterward — if-you want to.” The World of liandonl Tear by year this ancient town, like a young and rich colony, creeps eastward and westward; north and south, fields and fresh air giving np their verdure and freshness to dingy brick hou ses and feited allgs, and the masses of popula tion clustering together around the common centre of work and pleasure, .The thirsty souls of London need 'have ho fears of becoming thirstier, so long as there are upwards of 4,000 public bouses, and 1,000 wine merchants.

After the usual cogitations Incident to a Sabbath morning, he strolled through, the only street in the place,and halted at the “grocery,” around which a crowd of a dozen people were congregated." lie remained there throe hours,' and in that time one man was shot and fatally wounded, and two others seriously stabbed, in three separate fights.' From a fighting country himself, our friend’s equanimity .was not seri ously disturbed,' hut he was rather surprised that, after the affrays were over,' the perpetra-’ tors of the shooting and stabbing should resume their previous occupation with seemiqg uncon cern. Turping to an acquaintance, he in-, quired : “Don’t you arrest anybody here ?” “Oh, no t”was the answer, “we ain’t ineorpora-' ted yet !’’ “Pap,” observed a young urchin, of tender years to his “found parieht,” “does the Lord' know everything?” “Yes, my son," replied the hopeful sire; “But why do you ask that question ?” “Because our preacher whan he prays is so long telling him everything, I thought' he wasn't posted."
