My little love, do you remember,
Ere we were grown so sadly wise,
Those evenings in the bleak December,
Curtained warm from snowy weather,
When you and I played chess together,
Check-mated by each olber's eyes.
Ah, still I see your soft white hand,
Hovering w.trm o'er Queen and Knight,
Brave Pawns in valiant battle stand ;
This double Castle guard the wings,
The Bishop bent on distant things,
Moves silently throughout the tight.
Our fingers touch ; our glances meet,
And falter; falls your goldeu hair
Against my cheek ; your bosom sweet
Is heaving. Down the field your Queen
Bides slow, her soldierly all between,
And check, me unawaill.
Ah me! the little battle's done,
Dispersed is all iLI chivalry;
Full litany a move -ince then have we,
'Mid life's perplexing C hequers made,
And many a game with fortune played—
Whit is it we have won?
This, this at least, if this alone,
That never, never, never, more,
As in those old still nights of yore,
(Ere we were grown so sadly wise,)
Can you and I shut out the skies,
itihnt the world and wintry weather;
And exchanging warmth with eyes,
Play chess as they we played together
Prom the U... Amami.

Why Chihirlin Die.
Reflections for Parents!--The reason why
children die, says Hall's a gournal of Health,
is because they are nut taken care of. From
the day of their birth they are stupefied with
food. choked with physic, sloshed with water,
suffocated in' but rooms, steamed in bed
clothes. So much for indoor. When per
mitted to breathe of pure air. once a week in
1141.1111111er, and unce ur twice during the colder
months, only the nose ieallowed to peer in
da)liglit. A little later they are sent out
with no 'lndies un at all ou the parts of the
body which mart ueed protection. Bare legs,
bore arms, bare neck, girted middles, with an
inverted umbrella to-tolled, flout air and chill
the other part of t/o3 ho y. A stout, strung
man goes out au lt cold day with gloves and
o'veroost, woolen stockings. and thick double
soled hoots, with cork between and rubbers
over. The same day a child of three years
old, an infant of flesh and blood, and bone
and constitution, goes out with shoes as thin
as paper, cotton socks, legs uncovered to the
knees, neck tare ; an exposure which would
disable the nurse, kill the mother outright,
and make the father an invalid fur wet-Iss.—
And 14 by 1 To harden tkena to a mode of
dress winch they are never expetyed to prac
tice. Tu accustom them to exposure which a
dozen years later would be considered down
right foolery. To raise Lhildreu thus fur the
slaughter pan, and lay it to the Lord, is too
bad. We don't think the Almighty had any
hand in it. Amid to draw comfort from the
presumption that lle had any agency in the
death of toe child., is a presumptiuu mud pro
fauation.
Restarkalde Allack by a Swarm of Beet.—
A singular occurrence took place at Antrim,
Mich., on the 21 inst., which is thus related
by the Detroit Tribune :
A swarm of bees, belonging to a Mr. Deck
er, came out of the hive in great fury, and
attacked a man by the name of Munger, who
was crossing thc field,' at the time some thir
ty or forty rods off. lie undertook to floe to
the woods, bus the bees were before and be
hind hint so thick that he found it impossible
to run. He then commenced a fight with
hat in hand, but be was very soon overpower
ed, and fell down with faintness, and would
soon have died, had not a son of Mr. Decker
—who was at this time approaching from
another diroctiuri—rushed to the rescue.
when the stingers left Monger and oommen
cad an attack upon your Decker, who dad
with all speed to a shod or granary, in which
was a favorite shepherd dog chained. The
bees immediately left the young man, and at
tasked the poor dug with such fury as to de
prise him &life before he could be let loose.
It is said the dog aatnally killed more than a
quart of bees in his vigorous defenee. Mr.
Munger and Mr. Decker were in a dangerous
state for 110$61 boors, but are now recovering.

Professor Bartlett, of the Military Academy
at West Point, dui, states a theory of meteoric
phenomena which we bedievo is in accordance
with the views of some of the most distin
guished scientists, including Humboldt:
These bodies are of the nature of planets,
and sirculate about the sun in orbits as un
erringly as their larger brethren. When
they and the earth come simultaneously to
these points of their orbits which are nearest
together, the action of the earth often be
comes superior to that of the sun, and the
small masses are drawn to its surface. Plung
ing with enormous veloeity into ode atmos
phere, the little bodies compress Use air in
front and rub against it with such Violence
on the sides, as to produce heat enough to
fuse, and light sufficient to illuminate the
W4refractoryand darkest of sesstanees.—
exterior and moltou crust is swept to
the rear by the resisting air ; a new surfitee
becomes exposed ; this, in its turn, is fused
and carried backward, and so on till finally
the whole track of the meteor is strewn with
grcups of disintegrated and sciutillatiug ma
terial.
Singular Ejred of Smelling at a Balle.—A
laughable incident occurred on Saturday
night, between two gentlemen who visited
Cape , May, in company with a number of ex
cursioniste who reside in the lower part of
the city. Drinks had been often taken by the
two gentlemen referred to—in fact the entire
party had not been backward in smelling at
certain black bottle—and about twehe
o'clock the gentlemen were seen with a fence
between them, and a bottle passing to and
fro. As soon as the liquor was exhausted,
one gentleman proposed that they should go
to a neighboring tavern and finish the night.
The proposition being agreed to, each com
menced to get over the fence at the same
time. and to their surprise they found on
touching the ground that the fence still sepa
ra ed them. The same experiment was re
peated several times, until one of the men fell
to the ground. where he remained until the
other stumbled upon the right side.—N.
Letter.
When to Skim Milk .—A dairy womar. in
Western New York speaks in this emphatic
tone as to the best time. Sbe says that the
right time to skim is jest as the smith &vim:
to sorts in the bottom of the pans. Then the
cream is all at the surface, and should at
onus be removed—with as tittle of the milk as
possible. 111'1;4ml:id to remain until the acid
resebes the cream or to become thick, it di
minishes the cream and impairs it in quality.
That housewife or dairy maid who thinks to
obtain a greater quantity by allowing the milk
to stand beyond that time labors under a most
egregious mistake. Any one who doubts
this, has only to fry it to pros° the truth of
this assertion. Milk should be looked to at
least three times a day.
Sad Case of IlydrvAcebia—Some weeks
since Mr. Thomas Daseumb, a bonnet bleacher
of Roxbury, Mass., was proceeding upon a
gunning expedition. accompanied by his dog,
when the animal became mad and bit his
master in the wrist. The dog was killed, but
as the wound rapidly healed and no fatal in
jury was apprehended, Mr. Dascomb had
almost forgotten the matter until Saturday
last, when he was taken seriously ill with
unmistakable symptoms of hydrophobia.—
The most violent paruzysms followed, and
continued until Sunday afternoon when doath
came to the relief of the sufferer. The do
ceased was about 35 years of age, and a strong,
able-bodied man.
Anises],Aerie Telegraph.—The British post
office, which is admitted to be a model insti
tution. is about to convey letters from one
part of London to another by atmospheric
pressure. A tube is laid down between two
given points ; a case of dimensions its much
smaller than the tube as will permit it to slip
inside the tube is introduced therein, and the
tube Is then exhausted of air. The pressure
of the outside atmosphere Fees the case
along the tube, and the case, with its con
tents, is carried swiftly to its destinati.m.

Philadclphui Capital larested.—We learn
with exceeding gratification that the negotia
tion. which have been for some time pending
beta eel, the owners of property nn the square
hounded by North, Fayette. Holliday and
Baltimore streets, and a company of New
Turk and Philadelphia capitalists, have 1.e..n
completed by the purchase by the lattter of
the property named, for the purpose of erect
ing thereon a magnificent first-class hotel,
one worthy of the city. The new edifice will
occupy an entire square. in the vary heart of
the city, and in a position which we should
fancy to be the most desirable (or its pur
poses. The demolition of the present build
ings will probably commence in May next,
when the work of erecting ►be new hotel will
be pushed forward with vigor.—Ba/tiusorc
Clipper.
several large farm houses in Lan

indicator: A leech is put into a clear glass
bottle full of water, the latter being renew
ed every sesond day. If the day is to be wet,
the leech lies dose to the bottom of the bot

place about the centre (upward) of the hot.
tie, but if the day is to be fine, the creeping
thing lies on the surface of th e water. A
gentleman in this town informs me that he
has tried this for the last seven months and
found it worked aocurately.

It is great pity that this fellow did not euo

home with a maul, and if it does not require
an extraordinary amount of learning to maks

would suffice fur a Laiumster comity law-ma

this fellow understands, are those which are
invoked in the wild hunt fir office. But it

Doubtful Things Uncertain.
The New York Tribune claims the vote of
all the free States except California, for Lin
coln and Hamlin. This calculation the New
York Icdepcndent thinks may be verified in
• certain lontingency, and then again may
not in a certain other contingency. " But,"
says the independent," the result of the oleo
thin in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Indi
a, is a moose of conjecture not fairly war
ranted by the experience of the Republican
party in these Sates thus far."
Again it asks, " Is it well, either, to be PO
very confident of New York? The returns
of the last State election do not warrant so
great confidence in the Republicanism of this
State, and the corruptions of the last
le iala
ture did much to impair that confidence. The
opposition candidates will combine in some
way for the conflict in New York—certainly
to carry the Congressional electiou." In
view of which the Imdependeni exhorts the
Republicans to work more and brag less.

TWO DOLLARS A.YRA.R.
Letter hem Abe's Cousin, Charles Hanks.
Lincoln, it is said, split rails with one John
Hanks, his cousin. John has written a let
ter on the subject, and now Charles Hanks.
John's 'brother.knocks daylight thrtrath Lin
coln's ancient biography. Here is his letter :
(From the Decatur (L. I.) Mernet.l
Entree or ens Macerr—Dear Sir:—ln
the last week's issue of the Chronicle I notic
ed a letter sighed "John Henke," which is
PO extraordinary in many of its features that
I feel called upon to give it a brief notice.
John llanks is my vouneer brother, and
Abe Lincoln is my cousin. 1 hare known bath
John and Abe from their earliest childhood.
Since brother John has committed hiniFelf
to the Decatur politician, who is using him
as a tool to speculate in certain old rails (that
I know cousin Abe never made,) I hare great
fears that brother John, like cousin Abe, has
fallen into bed hands. and that a man he na
ture made for a good mnn, but who always
needed protecting counselors, may be by his
bad associations entirely ruined. I have
known the entire history of both brother John
and cousin Abe, and all that stuff in the let
ter published in the Chronirlo is stuff, miser
able stuff, and although poor brother J ihn's
name is signed to it, I know that be even yet
does not know what is in it; muck lees did he
ever write it. It is the work of men unscru
pulous in the means that they may use in
gulling honest people.
In John's letter I find a lug and pathetic
allusion to cousin Abe's early and hard life.
That may be poetical, but there is but little
of it true. In Abe's young days be was sim
ply a wild harunt seam* toy. and jumping
and wrestling were his only accomplishments.
His laziness was the cause of many mortifi
cations to me; for as I was an older boy then
either Abe or John, I often had to do Abe's
work at uncle's. when the family were all
sick with the ague from eating watermelons,
and Abe would be rollicking around the coun
ty y neglecting them. In those early days we
all saw hard times, yet a young men who
Was energetic and industrtona could dress
himself comfortably, and have plenty of plain
good food to eat. 1 have often felt ashamed
of oilbsin Abe in seeing him a fell grown man
gadding around the country barefoot, with
his toes outrageously epraddled out by the
mud; and instead of his reading his bunks
as brother John, through the Decatur politi
cian so poetically tells us. he would be row
dying around with a pack of young men.
I well remember when he went courting one
of Major Warnick's daughters, in this coun
ty, his boots were so miserably bad that his
feet were frosted, and he had to lay up at
Major Warnick's for two weeks, and have
the old lady nurse and doctor his feet.
I am fully persuaded that br other John is
taking the strange course that he is now pur
suing for the purpose of making a little mon
ey out of a rail speculation, and if I could
for one moment think that the Decatur sharp
ers, in whose hands he has placed himself,
would not cheat hint out of the money, I
would'not spoil the speculation by telling the
facts.
The facts in regard to those rails are these:
The little farm that Juhn and Abe made the
rails to fence contained ten acreA. Ab ou t
fire years after this little farm was fenced the
entire fence was burned up, to my certain
knowledge, for I hauled the rails to fence it
the second time; Lewis H. Ward, who now
resides in this county, witnessed the fire that
burned the rails, and he is willing, to make
affidavit to this fact.
hired within two mild and a half of this
Lincoln farm from the time it was first set
tled up to 1857, and during these early times
our farmers were subject to being visited by
devastating fires, and I kaow that the fence
around the Lincoln farm was consumed at
least three times. ♦nd I know that after the
Lincoln family bad left the farm, that the
fence was again burned, and that Shet Whit
ley and Daniel hicLaniel made the rails and
re-fenced it.
I think,and am almost eertain.tfutt the rails
that are now being worshipped all over the
North as Lincoln rails,were made by poor Bill
Strickland, who is now poor, blind, helpless
and in the Macon county poor house. And
if these philanthropic Republicans would al
low :me to make one suggestion, it would be
to help 'poor Bill Strickland who did make
the rails, and who Is as konest as Abe or any
body else that ever mauled a. rail. instead of
spending their money over his rails.
As to cousin Abe being the " Monett Abe
politician," that is a new title for his. When
he first came to Illinois, I know that he was
a strong Democrat. I always thought that
he turned Whig afterwards because he had
settled in a Whig district . And when I
heard him is 1858, in the court house at De
catur, make a speech in which be asserted
that be would contanue to." agitate the sub
ject of negro slavery so long as was heard the
crack of the lash upon the yellow girl's back,"
I did not feel like lie was either very honest
or very patriotic, for I suppose that be said
that for the purpose of catching Abolition
rotes.
I know that comas Abe cared nothing about
cutting the thrust of the old Whig party the
very moment that be supposed be could make
anything by building np a new party. And
I never sepcsd that be coed one Dent as to
what the pr inci ples of the new putty should
be. only so Mrs. axed that be could get vies.
Now, as to cousin Abe's running Sabots',
that amounts to just this: Some young !bil
lows had cat a raft to run down from Jim
town, and Abe, for the fun of the thing, went
along, instead of Saying at home and at
tending to his own work, that was needing
hintsurf mush. That is the aatent of his
U cousin Abe ma honestly get *good Ace,
I want to see him do so ; but these atomic's-
Ws lies that are being told on him by politi
cians who pretend to be his friends I repel as
a family inutit.
In my own homely way. I have told the
above as it occurred, for the benefit ot say
honest neighbors and neguaintaness, and I

The regular annual meeting of the Damn.
crate of Berke, was held at Reading, a few
weeks since. The "Times" of that plans
says,
" the Court House was densely ?natal
with the Democracy." Both Breektnridge
and Donglas,men pat ticipated ; no resolution
expressing a Presidential preference, was
offered speeches were made by H. Clymer,
Esq., Gen. Geo. M. Kahn, and A. G. Green I
and atter the unanimous adoption of the fol
lowing with other resolutions, adjourned with
" three cheers for Foster and Democratic
union and harmony :"
Resolved, That tho prosperity of our free
institutions and the success of popular gov
ernment on the American oontineut, depends
upon the existence of the Democratic party,
and we hereby reiterate our firm attachment
to its ancient principles, and again declare
our undying and unalterable hostility to seo
tionalism end disunion under wiuttever guise
they. may appear. -
Resolved, That the teachings of Black Be.
publieanism, and the doctrine of' the "into
pressible conflict" aro unchristian, immoral,
opposed to the progress of the human race,
and fraught with most fatal coasequeades to
American civilisation.
Resolved, That we deeply lament and de.
plore the unhappy division now existing in
the ranks of the Democracy in oar State and
Nation, yet in view of the fact'that in days
gone by we have triumphantly marched shoul
der to shoulder against the common enemy
of oar party and our country, and hope to do
so in all time to come, it becomes the sacred
duty of all who prefor Democratie ascendan
cy to the elevation of any Black Republican
to office, to repair. and heal to the extent of
their power the existing division in our tank*,
and that we will-support the Democratie or.
ganization, created by the Democracy of Pol.' ,
Sylvania, at the late Reading Convention.
Resolved, That we cordially'anreincerely
unite with heart and voice in the support of
our able and spotless nominee for Governor,
Henry . D. Foster, and in all local elections,
forgiving and forgetting past differences act
as a united party, a symbol of that glorious
Union, which in obedience to the preoepta of
the Immortal Washington and Jackson it has
ever been our proud prerogative to: defend
and maintain, therely laying a solid founda
tion for the future greatness and glory of the
gallant Democracy of the good old Common
wealth of Pennsylvania.
