RAFT-SHAH'S
CLEARFIELD, VA. MARCII 25, 1868.
THE COUNTBY COUPLE.
Do you remember, Mary dear,
As you pass through the porch,
A good old country couple in
The first pew of the church ?
He walks on crutches as he comes
- ' Adown the dusty way ;
She wears a queer old bonnet, he
A coat of homespun gray.
'Tis said their early life was like
Some strange and wild romance ;
His heart the eagle's courage shared,'
His eye the eagle's glance.
And she ah, who could dream it now?
"Was beautiful and fair,
With radiant eyes, and ruby lips,
And sunny waves of hair.
She stood amid the maiden throng,
The lovely and the good,
As 'mid the beauties of the East
The Jewish Esther stood.
They loved as few e'er loved on earth
You smile and look away ;
You're thinking of her bonnet, and
His coat of homespun gray.
They loved as few e'er loyed on earth,
With undivided heart,
But there are spirits stern and cold
And they were forced to part
A The maiden sighed for him she loved,
And grew as slight, as pale,
As beautiful as shadows make
The lily of the vale.
She sighed by day, and wept by night,
You should not be so gay ;
, You're thinking of her bonnet, and
His coat of homspun gray.
But, one night, when the flowry bells
Swung on each airy stalk,
A form, as noiseless as the breeze,
Passed down the garden walk.
Passed down the garden walk,but paused
Before .the open gate;
' She knew who mid the linden trees
Had promised he would waitN
. They hastened through the dewy fields,
And, with the rising sun,
A bridal ring gleamed on her hand,
Those two founckiiearts were one.
They've known joys and griefs since first
iney were so wildly wed ;
The cherised forms God gave them, all
Are numbered with the dead.
And now they live alone, and watch
The swift years glide away ;
She wears the queer old bonnet, he
The coat of homespun gray.
And sometimes, as I watch them in
Their wide old-fashioned pew,
I think how time will deal with me,
How it may deal with you.
A few short years, and we no more '
Shall thus be young and gay ;
v You'll wear some queer old bonnet, I
Some coat of homespun gray.
But, O ! whatever trials come,
Whatever sorrows fall,
Though grace and joy with youth depart
Yet love 6hall live through all.
Composition. The following composi
tion was recent y read in a neighboring
school. We give it verbatim :
Doflrs is U3efuller as cats. Mice is afeerd
of cats. They bite 'em. Dogs foller boys.
and catches a hog by the ear. Hogs rarely
bite. Sheeps bite people. People eat hogs
but not the Jews, as they and other animals
tbat doesn't chew the cud isn't clean ones.
Dogs sum times git hit with boot jacks for
barking of nites. Sleepy people git mad
and throw at 'em. Dogs is the best animal
for man ; they do more for man than grownd
hogs or koons or gotes. Gotes smell. The
end.
Two enterprising men opened a new sa
loon at New Paris, Ohio, recently, and a
number of ladies, with leap-year adaucity
and their every day knitting, marched to
the saloon, took seats,and staid until night.
Next day the visit was repeated, and pro
longed until nine o'clock in the evening.
The following day the saloon was for rent.
Hon. Mrs. Norton, in her novel of "Old
Sir Douglas," winds up-a highly wrought
death scene thus : "The anguish of mortal
pain seemed to melt into peace. A great
sigh escaped him, such as bursts from the
bosom in some sudden relief from suffering,
and the handsome man was a handsome
corpse."
Self-help is the best help iu the world ;
when once a man applies to it he will not
readily apply to any other help. A work
man, if he devote himself to the special
duty of making his home happy, and of im
proving his condition, will soon raise him
self above what demagogues call the oppres
sed classes.
A letter had been safely delivered to the
person to whom it has been addressed inI
owa, which had, besides the usual super
scription, these words : ''There is a ten dol
lar bill folded in this letter, and if you want
it worse than my mother does take it."
Our homes are like instruments of music.
The strings that give melody or discord are
the members. If each is rightly attuned
they will all vibrate in harmony: but a sin
gle discordant string jars through the in
strument and destroy its sweetness.
An old lady, from a temperance village,
recently atteuded a party where champagne
was served, and was prevailed upon to take
a .lass. After drinking it, she smacked her
lips and exclaimed: "It may be a Kicked
drink-, but 'tis good"
A curious Western visitor inquired if the
State Prison was reckoned among our insti
tutions of charity? "Certainly," was the
reply, "it 'covers a multitude of sins. "
A gentleman praising the gnerosity of
nis inena, ODserved : "lie spends his mon
ey hke water. ' ' ' 'Then, of course, he liqui
dates his debts," rejoined a wag.
An bonest dutchman on being asked how
often he shaved, replied, "Dree dimes a
week every tay put Soontay ; den I shafe
every tay l"
m The bread of life is love ; the salt of life
