TO ELLA, IN BEAM
BY MURRAY.
M 2 ny—years-ago,-in-my- sehood z d ays,_there_lived_
in Waynesboro' a widow —the Mother of a sweet lit
tle girl with golden hair. That little girl was my
clastmate. Hir sweet disposition, and lady-like
manners, gained for her, not only the love of the
teacher, but of all her schoolmates. From that
schoolroom I went out to batt'e with the world,
and I never saw her more ; for she soon after died,
and went to live with the at gels. In life's retro .
spect, there is no dearer remembrance that little El
la, now in Heaven.
Thou wilt be,the same forever;
The same sweet, guileless, child of beauty.
That thou-wert from e'en thy birth !
Though we are changing, ever changing,
n t is weary life on earth.
Tell me, loved one, o'er the river,
Where thou art cilled, to live forever ;
From that unseen abode of pleasure,—
Cart'a thou mark the sighs and tears--
The bitter cups, in all these years,
That we must drain for our measure.
Nay, kind Heaven! veil forever,
From her who dwells beyond .the river,
All the panes and cares of life ;
May the never see the woe—
he—endless-tail nod I eiwetes , . btrif ,
Of us poor mortals here below.
Then, when we meet beyond the river,
To live in bliss with her forever,
That bliss,.will know_of_no_alloy_.
The guileless heart th t scarce knew rain,
Will throb with never ending joy,
When linked with earthly ties aratn.

A COUNTRY HO U.
Oh give me a home in the country wide,
And a seat by the farmer's wood fireside,
Where the fire burns bright -
On a frosty night -
Where the jest, the song, and the laugh are free,
Oh ! the grmees home is the place for me.
Oh! give me a home in the country wide,
Whire the earth comes out as a blushing bride
With her buds and flowers'
In the bright spring hours,
Her bridal song ringing from fresh leaved trees,
• nd melody floats on the perfumed breeae.
In a summer seat in a altatly nook.
And close by the side eta purling brook,
-Where the violet grows,
• Or the pale swamp rose, °
Fainting, sick, 'neath the sun's scorching beams,
Dips her petals in the cooling stream.
Oh ! give me a home in the country wide,
In the golden days of a farmer's pride,
When his barns are filled
From the fields he's tilled,
And he feels that his yearly task is done,
And smiling at winter, he beckons him on.
A FREAK OF FORTUNE
The Dubuque (Iowa) Tinzes, of March
25th, tells, the following :
'Three years'ago there resided in this city
a sun-burned, hard fisted, industrious man,
earned Adolph Gull, who earned the food
required for the consumption of himself, wife
and family of seven children, by sawing
wood from door to door. But little wan
known of his early history beyond the fact
that be was an exile from Poland, Europe,
an item of information which he imparted
to one or two personal friends with the
further statement that he had relatives living
there who were very wealthy, and might
place him above want, if so disposed. Dur
ing the internal feuds and tyrannical govern
ment which gppressed that unhappy land,
he, with a number of others, determined to
emigrate and seek relief on the shores of
free America. After a safe and prosperous
voyage the party landed in Now York, from
which point Mr. Gull continued hit; journey
to the West until he came to Dubuque,
where he rented a cheap tenement on Wash
ington street, and settled down to the busi
ness we have before stated.
'How long Mr Gull would hare remained
in this city, following his humble employ
ment, and congregating with others of his
class on Seventh street, wo do not know,
had it not been for the liberality manifested
by Uncle Sam. In 1866, Mr. Gull's atten•
tion was turned ti) the homesteads offered
by the General Government to all actual
settlers in the western frontiers of our State.
After revolving the matter over, he resolved
to avail himself of the benefits of so humane
a provision, and ffioging his buck and saw
to one side, he packed up his household
goods, bade adieu to his comrades, and, with
his family, started for the fields of promise.
He was fortunate in procuring a good loca
tion within twelve miles of Fort Dodge, and
soon had'a nice little patch of ground under
the plow. Here he worked and toiled month
after month, and was gradu ally becoming in
dependent in circumstances, through his own
exertions, when all at once the fickle goddess
Fortune came to his relief, and made him a
millionaire
•
'On tho 14th inst., he was called to Fort
Dodge on business, and on inquiring at the
postdftec, found a letter directed to his ad•

dress, from the old country, which. had evi- -
dently been awaiting hie order for some days.
Mr. Gull took it out, glanced at the super.
soription intently, and remarking that at last
some one of the folks had ooncluded to write
to him, opened the document and commenced
to read. He had not devoured more than
half a dozen lines before he uttered a loud
yell and commenced to dance around in a
manner absolutely inexplicable to the bystan.
dere, who thought that the wan had sudden
ly become insane. After the first surprise
was over, Mr. Gull became more rational, and
informed_the apectators_that_he_was_no_lonaer_
a poor plodding farmer, but a millionaire by
the' decease of an uncle in Poland, who had
willed to him his entire property, amounting
to five millions of dollars, which was now
awaiting , his disposal. All this and much
more the letter contained.
'To make a long story short, Mr Gull sold
his farm the nest week, and is now on his
way-to the old country, to take possession of

No Use in that Country
A distinguished man lay on his death bed,
when a great mark of distinction and , honor
was brought to him. Turning a cold glance
on the treasure he would have clutched with_
an eager grasp. he said with a sigh, 'Alas
this is a mighty fine thing in this country,
but I am going to a country where it will be
of no use to me' Who can reflect, without
sadness, on the eloaing, moments of the gal
lant General Neil. His life-long dream had
been to obtain the little baton and ribbon of
Marshall of France. He could not sleep af
ter seeing it conferred on McMahon, as a re
ward of valor in the battle of Magenta. Be
fore the next engagement, he told his friends
that this time he would win the prize, ho so
much coveted. The conflict was over, and
they sought him anxiously upon the gory
field, They found him almost crushed be
neath his war-horse, and the practiced eye
of the surgeon told him that life would soon
be over. Word was sent to the Emperor,
who quickly arrived, and drawing from his
breast the badge of Marshall of France, he
placed it above the heart of his faithful Fol
lower. The life-long dream was realized, and
with a single throb of exultant joy and grat
itude, he threw his arms about the neck of
his sovereign—the next instant he fell back
in the embrace of a stronger King.
0, how can we struggle, and toil, and dis
tract our hearts from the one great purpose
of lifts, simply to gather about us possessions
which, though they may be very fine things
in this country, 'will be of no use to us in
the country we are so shortly going to.'
A 'MOMENT or Mout - MT.—Forty years
once seemed a long and weary pilgrini2, , e to
tread.' It now seems 'Jut a step, And yet
along the cagy are broken shrines, where a
thou-and hopes have wasted into ashes; foot
prints sacred under their drifting dust; gieen

not forget. We will gardner the sunshine of

The man that laughs is a doctor without
a dip'oma; hie face does more good in a sick
room than a bushel of powders or a gallon
of bitter draughts. People are always glad
to see him—their bands instinctively go half
way out to meet his grasp, while they turn
involuntarily from the clammy touch of the
dyspeptic who speaks en the groaning boy..
He laughs you out of your faults, while you
never dream of being offended with him and
you know not what a pleasant world you are
living in, until he points out the sunny
streaks on its pathway.
Oaths aro vulgar, senseless, offensive, im.
pious; like obscene words, they leave a loath
some trail upon the lips, and a stamp of
odium upon the soul. They are inexcusable;
they gratify no sense, while they outrage
taste and dignity.
The First Prayer in Congress
In Thatcher's Military Journal, under
date of December, 1777, is found a note con
taining the identical 'first prayer in Con
gress,' made by the Rev: Jacob Duebe, a
gentleman of great eloquence. Here it is—
an historical curiosity :
'O, Lord, our,beavenly Father, high and
mighty King of kings, and Lord of lords,
who dolt from Thy throne behold all the
dwellers of the earth, and reignest with pow
er supreme and uncontrolled over all the
Kingdoms, Empires, and Governments ! look

American States, who have fled to Thee from
the rod of the oppressor, and thrown them
selves on Thy gracious protection, desiring
to be henceforth depehdent only : on Thee.—
To Thee they have appeared for the - right
cpuspess of their cause; to Thee do they
now look up for that countenance and sup
port which Thou alone canst give. Take
them, therefore, - heavenly father, - under Thy

Sleeping Habits.
To be able to lie down at night and--fall
asleep within ten minutes, and to know no
dreams of wakin. , until the morning comes,
and then to bound out of bed full of health,
freshness and vigor, is a blessing worthy of
the warmest outgushirigs of a thankful heart
toward Him who giveth us all things richly
to enjoy.
Some of the ways of obtaining such a urioe
less boon we here Dame :
Take dinner at the good old fashioned hour
of mid day, eat nothing afterwards except
supper, when a piece of cold bread and but
ter with a single cup of weak tea and a half
glass of pure water is enough for anybody
under ordinary circumstances. If dinner is
taken in the middle of the afternoon, do not
cat an a torn of anything until morning An
other plan is to avoid sleeping during the
day, and retire habitually a a regular hour.
In order to make the desirable result more
certain, remember practically the following
facts :
We need ordinarily seven hours of sleep
in summer and eight hours in winter.
We breathe in . blecp about firteen times
every minute.
Each inhalation of pure air is returned
loaded with poison; a hundred and fifty
grains of it is added to the atmosphere of a
bed room every hour, or twelve hundred
grains during a night.
Unless the poison laden atmosphere is di
luted or removed by a constant current' of
fresh air passing through the room, the
blood soon becomes impure, then circulates
sluggishly, accumulating and pressing on the
brain, gives rise to frightful dreams. If the
room is small and tight, the spectral night
mare, the fearful groan, the terrible shriek,
are the result, and in aggravated cases, with
the addition of a hearty late meal, there is
not strength to give the moan, to raise the
shriek, and arouse the system ; there is no
power V) move; the man feels a crushing
danger coming upon hint he can't got out of

One Hundred Years Ago
One hundred and ten years aga, there was
not a single white man in Ohio, Kentucky,
Indiana and Illinois. Theo, what is now the
most flourishing part of America was as little
known as the country around the mountains
of the moon. It was not until 1767 that
Boone left his home in North Carolina to
become the first settler of Kentucky. The
first pioneers of Ohio did not settle until
twenty years after this time A hundred
years ago, Canada belo•tged to France, and
the whole population did not exceed a million

The poor barefootErgirle, straight as arrows,
and as deliberate as pries.osses in their gait,
were submissively patient and grave. Alas
it is a piteous sight.
The equator seems to be a moral and so
cial equalizer. Every negro in the street
will speak to you if you look at him. No
body is stranger to anybody. You see here
faces the most different from any you ever
saw before. I could not understand it until
1 bad made some inquiries as to their races,
combinations and habits. My surprises were
all among the colored population. You hard

and thick lips.as we know them. I was told
there was no less than six general classifica•
tions of inhabitants defining more or less
white The Spanish occupancy of the Island
and the neighborhood of Mexico have large
ly distributed Spanish eyes and fine cut fea
tures. The variations are startling. A soft
blue eye, with long black lashes over a pair
of tawney lips carved with Castillien scorn
looks strangely contradictory, and then the
persistence of nature in preserving faultless
teeth and raven hair to the dark hobo, what
ever other variation of feature makes them
all comparatively beautiful. People say we
must go to &therm to see the straight, Gre
cian nose but I tell you, you ern beckon them
to you from every corner of St. Thomas.—
The short upper lip of high descent and the
delicate small oval of the chin are equally
common. And these gifts priceless to prin.
ceases are held here in careless unconscious
ness by fruit girls whose merry eyes never
can alphabet, and whose brown ankles never
knew stocking. Their queenly gait and e
rectness is due from the tact, that every fe
male is trained from childhood to carry bur
dens on her head—from a'tea-cup to a water
pail everything is placed on the small cush•
ion on the top of the head—hence it requires
a nice gait to poise it, and absolute erectness
to balance it where it can best be supported.
Nakedness is certainly to a certain degree
a matter of climate. Modesty makes no note
of anything under six years of age. IVith
the same fitness to the latitude shoes and
stockings are dispensed with, and young
black girls with cairings worth fifty or a hun

skirts of brilliant colors show at each step

White feet might not do ho well, not being,
so independent of the dirt—but feet that are
neatly blacked by nature are certainly as
cleanly without leather and much more elas
tic. Two ebony shoulders, unliable to tan,
enjoy the open air by the same philosophy.
A number of Americans live •upon the
