, AHaire Patience."
. .
A . youth and maid one vintertights •
Were Ala:grin the corner, ,
His name, we're told. was Joshua 17fhll e .
And her's was Patience Warner.
Not much the pretty maiden mild,
Beside the young msn sitting ;
tier cheeks were flashed a rosy red,
tier eyes bent on hoe knitting.
Nor could he guess what thought of him
Were to her bosom flocking,
Al her fair fingers, swift and - slim.
Flew round and round the stocking.
so" •
While, as for Joshua, bashful youth,
• ills words grew few and fewer ;
-Though all the time, to tell-the truth, --
His obair edged nearer to her. •
Meantime her ball of yarn gate nut,
She knit so fast and steady ;
Arid he must give his aid, no doubt,
To get another ready.
He held the skein; of come the thread
Got tangled, snarled and twisted;
"Have patience I" cried the &Meek - maid.
To him who her assisted.-
Good chance •ee this for tongoe-tied churl
To eborten all palaver;
' , Have patience!".tried he. "dearest girl!
And may I really have her."
The deed iris done ; no more, that night,'
Click needles in the earner;
And she is Mrs. Joshua White •
That once vas Pationos Warner.
A Thrilling Adventure.
We question whether, in the history of
.hair-breadth escapes. a parallel to the fol
lowine. can family be found. The story was
told to us by an old and valued friend,
now residing in the - country near the city,
but whose early days were spent near the
scene of the tragic, adventure. recorded
here.
W e give the 'story as it was related to ui
in the words of the hero :
It was about the year 1805. that I Settled
in Virginia, near,he failsof the Kanawha.
The country, at hat time, was an unbro
ken wilderness. But few settlements had
been made by the whites, and they were
so far apart an to render vain all hopes of
assistance in case of an attack from hostile
Indians, numbers of whom infested- the
neighborhood.
I lived there alone with my wife for say.
eral months unmolested, and by dint
of rer , everance, then young and hardy.
succeeded in making quite a clearing in
the forest. which I planted in corii- % and
which promised_ an abundant yield.
one morning, after we 'had dispatched
our humble 'meal, and I bad just prepared
to venture forth upon my accustomed rou
tine of labor, my attention was arrested
by the tinkling of a caw bell in the, corn
field. •
"There." said my wife.."the cow is in the
corn field."
- But the ear of the backwoodsman be
comes by education vet y acute, especially
so from the fact that his safety depends
upon the nice cultivation of that sense. I
was not 10 eaaily deceived. I listened. The
sound was repeated.
"That," said I, In reply to my wife's 're•
mark, "was not the tinkle of_ a bell upon
the neck of a now, but a decoy from some
Indian, who wishes to draw me into an
ambush.
Believing this to be the case,l took down
my old musket, and seeing that it; was
properly.loaded, I stole cautiously aromid
the field towards'the spot from which the
sound seemed to proceed.
As I suspected, there, in' a clump of
bushes, crouched an Indian, waiting for
me to appear in answer.to his decoy bell,
that he might send the fatal bullet to my
heart. 1 approached without discovering
myself to him until within Shooting dis
tance,- then I raised my piece and fired.
The bullet sped true to its,mark, and the
Indian tell dead. - ,
Not knowing but that he might be ac
companied by others, I returned with all
speed to the cabin, and having firmly bar
ricaded the door, I watched all day from
the puri-hole, in anticipatiOn of an attack
froirf the companions of the Indian I bad
killed. To add to the danger end seeming
helplessness of my situation, I discovered
that I had but one charge of powder left.
I could make but one shot, then. If at
tacked by numbers I should be entirely in
their power. Determined to do the hest
with what I had, I poured out the last
charge of powder and put it into the mus
ket, and Men waited for the approach of
night,leeling sure of an attack.
Night came at last. A beautiful moon.
light it was too, and this favored me great
ly, as I would 'thereby be able to observe
the movements of the enemy as they ap
proached the cabin.
It was some • two - hours after nightfall,
and yet I 4 had neither heard nor seen a
sign of the Indians, when suddenly I was
startled by the baying 'nf my dog at the
'stable. I knew that the Indians were
coming. The stable stood a little to the
west ,of the cabin. and between the two
was kpatch of -clear ground upon which
thelicht of the clear moan fell unobstruct
ed. Judging from ttie noise at the stable,
that they would advance from that direc
tion, I posted myself at die port-hole on
that side of the cabin.
I had previously placed my wife on the
cross-pole in the chimney, so that in case
our enemies effected an entrance into our
cabin s he might climb oat through the
low c imneys, and effect her escape For
myse entertained no hope, but deter
mined not to be taken alive, and to sell
my life dearly.
With breathless anxiety I watched at
the port hole. At length
_I saw them
emerge from the . shadow 'id the stable,
and advance across the open 'round
toward my cabin. - One=two—three—
great Heaven ! six stalwart Indiana armed
to the teeth, and urged on by the hope of
revenge; and I alone to oppose them with
one charge of powder. My cue was des
perate indeed. With quick and stealthy
step, in close single file, they approached,
and were already . within a few yards of
the house, when a slight change in the
movement of the forward Indian
the position of -the six so that a portion of
the left side of each wad uncovered. They
were in range,. and my would cover
all. Quick as thought I aimed'and fired.
As the smoke cleared away I could hardly
credit what my senses told me nape result
of my shot. The fifteen slugs with which
I had loaded the musket had done their
work well ; five of the six Indians
- lay
dead upon the ground and theiaixth had
disappeared.
Although no enemy was nowin sight, I
did not venture forth until morning.
There lay the bodies of the five Indians
undisturbed, together with the:rifle of the
other. Securing the arms arid ammuni
tion of the fallen Indians, I followed the
trail of the missing one until ;it reached
the river, beyond which point i< could dis
cover no trace whatever. • From the
amount of blood which meyked his trail,
together with the unmistakable evidence
that be bad picked his way with difficulty
I was led to believe that he was mortally
wounded, and in order to prevent his
body falling into the bands of the white
foe,be had groped his way to the river and
thrown himself into the current, which
bad borne it away.
The Indians bad killed my cow,and
that you may be assured was no trifling
loss, yet in my gratitude for my escape
from the merciless savages, I would have
been entirely willing to have made greater
sacrifices..l was provided by mews of the
firms and ammunition taken from the six-

Not one of the baud had escaped to tell
the tale and incite his brethren to avenge
the death of his comrades.
"Ah l" exclaimed the old man, while
the tears stood in his eyes, at the memory
of that eventful night, "that was a glori
ous abot—the best I ever made I" '
The 'hero of this adventure lived to

pitched his lonely cabin, transformed into
smiling fields and peopled with hardy, en ,

days were passed in peace and plenty, un

A WORD FOR WkVE3.—Little wives ! if
ever a half suppressed sigh , finds place
half with you, or a halnloving word escapee
you to. the husband whom you love, let
your heart go back to some tender word
in those first love days remember 'how
you loved hint then. hew tenderly be
wooed you, how timidly you responded;
and if you can feel that you have not
grown unworthy, trust him for the same
good love now. If you do feel that ynu
have become leas loveable and attractive
than you then were, turn—by all that ynu
love on earth or hope for in heaven—turn
back and be the pattern of loveliness that
won him ; be the "dear one" your attrac
tions made you then. Be the yntle, lov
ing, winning maiden atill • and doubt . not
the lover you admired will live forever in
your husband. Nestle by his side, cling
to bis love, and let his confidence in you
never fail • and my word for it, the hus
band will ixt dearer than the lover ever
was, Above all thinks, do not forget
the love he gave you first. Do not seek to
"emancipate" yourself—do not strive to
unsex yourself. and become a Lucy Stone,
or a Rev. Miss Brown ; but love the high
er honor ordained by our savior of, old—
that or a loving wife. A happy wife, a
blessed mother, can have no higher sta

FIDELITL—IIever • forsake a friend.
When eneinies gather around—when sick
ness falls upon the heart—wben the world
is dark and cheerless—is the time to try
friendship. The heart that has been
touched with true gold wilt redouble its
efforts when the friend is sad and in
trouble. Adversity tries real friendship:
They who run from the scene of distress,
betray their hypocrisy and prove that in
terest only moves them. If you have s
friend•who loves you, who has studied
ye* interest and happiness, be sure to
sustain him in adversity. Let him feet
that his former kindness is appreciated,
and that his lova_ waanot thrown away.
Real fidelity may be rare, but it exists - in
the heart.. Who has nnteseen and felt its
power ? They only deny its worth and
wirer who have never loved a friend or
labored to make -a friend happy. :The
good and the kind—the affectionate and
the virtuosi', see and feel the heavenly
principle. They would sacrifice wealth
and honor to promote the happiness of
others, and in return they receife the .:re
ward of their loves by sympathieing hears
and countless favors when they have been
brought low by disease or adversity;

Scene in the. Dissecting Boom.
A New York reporter baszocently taken
A few notes in a medical college, where he ;
found hundreds of young men,. and a few
women, fitting themselves for the business
of prescribing for "all the ills that flesh is
heir to." The following, relative- to the
dissecting room; will be found interesting: ,
In.lhe evening the medical 'students—
.
who are earnest enough to seek, by hard 1
work, to obtain a knowledge of their pro. I
fession—resort to the dissecting rooms, of
which thereere several located in different
parts of the city. The largest and finest
of them is located in the upper.part of a
college building, where twenty-five or .
thirty tables are ranged between half a
dozen rows of bright- gas lights Around ,
the sides of- the rooms forty or more clos
ets are numbered and setepart for the use
'of otudente. who change their clothing
whenever they engage in the work of die
seceon. The tables are about six feet long 7
he eighteen inches wide, and three foetidx
inches high, one end being inclined for
drainage purposes. Under direction of the
college faculty. "subjects"—i. e:.i dead I
bodies, 7 —are procured and brought to this
room, which, alolough thoroughly venti

children.. Two students were working to
gether upon this small "subject," which
they treated somewhat tenderly. With
open books before them, these young . men
deftly ply their sharp steel instruments,
the incised flesh being held open by small
hooks chained together in such a manner
as to enables the ooenstor to obtain an un
trammeled working space upon that part
of the body which he is investigating.
When these subjects are first brought to
the dissecting room, an attendant injects
into the veins a preparation of plaster,col
ored with vermillion. This brings out dis•
tinctly all minute courses through which
the blood passes, and materially aids the
student in tracing their direction and
function, besides hardening and preserv

during the delivery of his lecture . In this
manner the medical students a r e practic

hear of or read about. It is 'not,. there
fore,. surprising that they soon become ac
customed to scenes which, at first sight of
the dissecting room, curdled the blood in
their veins. This familiarity • with the
dead, and the handling of different por
tions of the body, very soon become at
tractive work to some of the studenta,who
composedly eat their luncheon while sit

is frowned upon by the Professors and gen

OS CATS --A famous place for cats in
this country, is the city of Alexandria, in
Virginia: Some years ago a youngster of
that city.wishing to have some fun, went
through the market and privately engag
ed each market man fromddie country to
bring a cat next day, as he said be want
ed a good mouser. Every country house
bad a superfluity of cos, so the . next
morning each market cart carried a torn
cst in town. The joker did not make his
appearance, of course. and the market
men, after waiting for him until they were
ready to go home, indignantly turned all
the cats looee in the market hemp. Such
a caterwauling as was heard that night
was never heard before in the quiet Streets
of Alexandria. The cats lived on- the
offal of the market house, and great , and
multiplied until Alexandria became as fa
mein for csta - as Cincinnati is for hogs.

Ktis MT Wire oti FIGIIT.—There are few
married men who are not averse to seeing
their wives kissed, but an exchange re
lates the particulars of a case in which n
newly-wedded Benedict felt himself in
sulted because his wife wasn't kissed.
The bridegroom in question was a stal
wart young rustic,. who was known as a
formidable operator in a "free fight." His
bride was a beautiful and blooming young
country girl, only sixteen years of age.
and the twain were at a party where a
number of young folks were enjoying
themselves in
,the good old-fashioned
pawn-playing style. Every girl .in the
room was called out and kissed except-
B—, the beautiful young bride aforesaid,
although there was not a youngster
present who was not dying to taste her
lips, - but they were restrained by the pres
ence of her herculean husband, who stood
regarding the party with a sullen look of
dissatisfaction. They - mistook the cause,
however, for suddenly he expressed him
self. Itelling up his sleeves. he stepped
into the middle of the room, and in a-tone
of voice that secured marked attention,
said: "Gentlemen, I haire been, noticing
how things have been working here for
some time, and I ain't half satisfied.* I
don't want to raise's fuss, but—""What's
the matter. John I" inquired half a dozen
voices. "What do you mean? Have I
done anything to hurt your feelings ?"
"Yes, you have ; - all of you have hurt my
feelings, and I've just got this 'to. say
about it: Here's every girl in the room
has been kissed near a dozen times apiecs,
and there's my wife, who' I consider as
likely as any of them, has not had a sin
gle one to-night ; and I just tell you now:
if she don't get as many kisses the bal
ance of the evening as any gal in the room",
the man that slights her has got me to
.fight—that's all. Now go ahead with.
your plays !" If Mrs. B— was slighted
during the balance of the evening we did
not know it. As for ourself, we know
that - John had no fault to find with us in

most. Here is a spurious quarter of a dol

passes it to the grocer, and he. glancing at
it and not liking the looks of it,exactly,
but not wishing to be over particular, and
saying, 'I took it and must get rid of it,'
passes it to the market man ; and he, say

passes it, as he is journeying, to the con

but disliking to say anything to the man,
says to himself, 'I will keep it and give it
to somebody else.' and passes it to the
sewing woman. She is poor, and a person
that is poor is always watched, and when
she offers it, it is djscovered to be spurious

ENVY.—Paniebing ourselves for being
inferior to our neighbors. If, instead of
looking at whit our neighbors possess, we
could see what they actually enjoy, there
,would be much lees envy and mare piety
in the world. The envy that grudges the
successes for which it lacks the courage to
contend, was well rebuked by the French
Marshal Lsfevre. Ooe of his friends, ex•
pressing the most unbounded admiration
