Our Boys are Coming Home Thank God; the sky is cleari/g ! The clouds are hurrying past ; Thank God, the day is nearing, The dawn is coming fast. And when glad herald voices Shall tell us peace has come, This thought shall most rejoice us "Our boys are coming home l" Soon shall the voice of singing Drown war's tremendous din ; Soon shall the joy-bells' ringing Bring peace and freedom in. The jubilee bonfires burning, Shall soon light up the dome, And soon, to Booth our yearning, Our boys are coming home. The vacant fireside places Have waited for them long; The love-light lacks their faces, The chorus waits their song; A shadowy fear has haunted The long-deserted room ; But now our prayers are granted, Our boys are coming home ! 0, mother, calmly waiting For that beloved son ! 0, sister, proudly dating The victories he has won ! 0, maiden, softly humming The love-song while yon roam— Joy, joy, the boys are coming— Our boys are coming home And yet-0, keenest sorrow They're coming but not all ; Full many a dark to-morrow Shall wear its sable pall For thousands who are sleeping Beneath the ecpurpled loam ; Woe ! woe ! for those we're weeping, Who never will Come home ! 0, sad beart, hash thy grieving; Wait but a little while 1 With hope and believing Thy woe and fear beguile, Wait for the joyous meeting Beyond the starry dome ; For there our boys are waiting To bid us welcome home. CURIOUS STRATEGY.-A sergeant in the United States army, who, with a small party of soldiers, had been sent out on a scouting expedition from Fort Defiance, New Mexico, finding himself beset by four hundred Indians, tied a tin cup, filled with pebbles confined by a cloth fastened over the top, to or dog's tail, wrote a note and fastened it to the dog's collar, and then het him loose. The terrified animal of course made the quickest possible time to the fort, the note was observed and read, and a res cue party was sent out, which arrived just in time to save the lives of the ser geant and 'his men. se' At St. Helena Bonaparte said : 'Ere the close of the nineteenth centu ry, America will be convulsed by one of the greatest revolutions the world ever witnessed. Should it succeed, her pow er and prestige are lost ; but should the goTernment maintain her supremacy, she will be on a firmer basis than ever. The theory of a republican form of gov ernment will be establisheli, and she can defy the combined powers of the world. lir It is a curious fact that Montgom ery, the first rebel capital, and Rich- Mond, the last rebel capital, fell into our hands within twenty-four hours of each 'other. The other day there died in Yorkshire a woman named Ross. who wee 105 years old. Her mother was 106 An she died, and;; hers grandmother reaehid the age of 140 years. MARIETTA, SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 20, 1865. A Georgia Wedding. "The preacher was prevented from tak ing his part in the ceremony, and a new ly created justice of the peacb, who chanced to be present,.' i was called upon to officiate in his place. The good man's knees began to tremble, for be had nev er tied the knot, and did not know where to begin. He had no "Georgia Justice," nor any other book from which to read the marriage service.—The company was arranged in a semi -circle, every one bearing a tallow-candle. He thought over every thing he had ever learned, even to "Thirty days bath September, April, June and November," but all in vain, he could recollect noth ing that suited the occasion. A sup. pressed titter all over the room admon ished him that he must proceed with something, and in the agony of despera tion he began— " Know all men by these presents that I"—here be paused and looked up to the ceiling, when an audible voice in the corner of the room was beard to say: "He is drawing a deed to a tract of land," and they all laughed. "In the name of God, amen !" he. be gan again, only to hear another voice in a loud whisper, say : "He's making his will ; thought he could not live long, he looks so very bad." "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray," —was the next essay, when some erudite gentleman remarked "He is not dead, but sleepeth." "Oh, yes I oh yes !" he continued. Some person out of doors sang out, "Come into court !" and the laughter was general. The hride.was near fainting, and the Squire was not far from it; being an in defatigable man, however, he began again. "To all and singular, the Sher—" "Let's run ; be is going to levy on us," said two or three at once. Here a gleam of light flashed across the face of the Squire. He ordered the bride and groom to hold np their hands, and in a solemn voice said : "Yon, and each of you, .do solemnly swear, in the presence of this company, that you will perform toward each other all and singular the functions of husband and wife, as the case may be, to the best of your knowledge and ability, so help you God ?" "Good as wheat 1" ekclaimed the fa ther of the bride. THE PAPAL Rom—There is some cu riosity as to' the person to whom the Rose of 1865 will be given, though some speak of the young Queen of Portugal. The Pope, however, is not limited in his choice, and may bestow it on any, man eminent in dignity, though not of a roy al house, or to a church of the Old or New World. In the fifteenth century consecrated roses presented to the Pope were placed over the confessionals at Rome, to denote secrecy, the rose being the emblem of silence. Hence the phrase, "Sub Rosa," which is almost universal. ar A cattle dealer of Prussian Sile sia was murdered and robbed some twelve years since, and no trace of the murderer could be found. A year later the murdered man's daughter mairied a muter butcher, with whom she has lived ever since. A few days back, while pre paring to remove to another house, the woman found, among her husband's ef fects, a small purse embroidered with silver, which she herself had made for her father, and which bad disappeared after the murder, A horrible suspicion took possession of her mind, and having taxed her husband with the crime, he made a full confession, and has conse quently been arrested and committed for trial. —At a large dinner party in a cer tain city, lately, the subject of frosty weather bad done considerable duty in supplying conversation, when a plump, happy-looking married lady made a re mark about cold feet. "Surely," said a lady opposite, "Mrs,—, you are - not troubled with cold feet ?" Amid au aw ful pause, she naively answered, "Yes, indeed I am, very much troubled—but then they are not my own." Or In, the funeral procession at New York, on last Tuesday, was Mr. George Murray, who, sixty-six years ago, when a mere.child,• walked in the funeral cor tege of Washington. 1 )161- A bronze statue of . President Lincoln, to cost $20,000, and• is to be . placed 41 Capitol ..Square, Albany, N. Y. • SERGEANT COEBETT.—Boston Corbett, who shot title assassin Booth, is a native of England. He came to this country when quite a lad, and learned the trade of hatter. On the 12th of April, 1861, he enlisted in the 12th New York Mili tia, returned to the seat of war with his regiment three times, and was taken prisoner at Harper's Ferry when Miles surrendered to Stonewall Jackson. He was soon afterward exchanged, joined the 16th New York Cavalry, and was !captured by Moseby at . Fairfax Court House. Corbett was deserted by hie companions when Moseby's cavalry came down upon , them. He refused to surrender, and setting his back against a tree, he used his pistols so well that he kept twenty-six of the rebels at bay formore than an hour. His ammunition being expended, he advanced upon them sword io hand, and Moseby admiring his gallantry, ordered his men not to fire upon him but take him alive. He was sent to Andereonville, whereto saw hie comrades die around him by thousands, and contracted a disease from which he is yet suffering. Corbett is a member of the Methodist Church. He is said to be an earnest Christian, reading the Scriptures to his fellow soldiers, and preaching the Word whenever opportunity offers. His com rades relate that on one occasion be was sent to the guard-house for reproving his Colonel for using profane language on parade. In person he is slightly made, is about five feet six inches in height, and has a mild and intelligent countenance. He is about twenty-six years of nge, and a widower. NEGRO SUFFRAGE.—The New York Express—the Brooks paper—in oppos ing negro suffrage, says : "Equality and fraternity inevitably lead to amalgama tion." Guess not. There are more ne groes in Canada or in New England than there ever were in Mobile or Na chez, under slavery, while in Cm a and in most of New England blacks •nd whites are perfectly equal before the law ; yet, nothing can be surer than that amalgamation was far more common in Mobile and Natchez than in Canada or New England. Blacks and whites are alike in the eye of the law in Jamaca, which was a slave colony forty years ago ; yet, amalgamation is not so fre quent there today as it was in 1825. The . Express has got its facts wrong end foremost. It is slavery, not freedom, .that riots in amalgamation.—New York Tribuhe. THE IRISH EXODUS.—The tide of emi gration shows no sign of ebbing.. On the 12th hundreds of people of all ages, from the gray-headed grand-father to the child in arms, poured into Queens town for embarkation in the National Company's fine steamer Louisiana, en route from Liverpool for New York. Hundreds more were expected to go by the Inman steamer next day. Emigra tion from Ireland to America has total ly changed its aspect. The Cork Her ald says that "when the tender leaves the pier with its human freight a hearty cheer breaks from the emigrants, which is generally responded to on shore, and a moist eye or sorrowful face is seldom seen among the throng." FIENDISH VANDALISM.—The Centre ville (Md.) Citizen of the 3d has the fol lowing : We learn from a gentleman of Denton, Caroline county, that on Wednesday night last some fiends opened the tomb of ex-Governor Ricks, in Dorchester county, and stole his coffin and body therefrom, and broke the tombstone to pieces. The body and coffin bad , not been found at last reports, and it is be lieved they have been sunk in the Chop tank river. ar The Union army recently in Vir ginia and North Carolina, except what force may be necessary far the maintel mice of a proper police in the various localities, are ordered to Washington, where upon their arrival, there is to be a grand review. preparatory to muster ing a large portion of them out of the service. sr H. Heyneman, the gentleman who is walking from Boston to Washington, because he promised to when Richmond should fall, arrived in New Haven on the evening of the let, at seven o'clock, bearing the flag presented to him by Mayor Lincoln, of Boston, in the name of the city; also a letter ot introduction from Governor Andrew to the Presi dent. He walked 36• miles the first day, and is in prime condition. He is a Ger m"' but bap lived In `this country '26 tr ' years. • - Marriage. Marriage is a school and exercise of virtue ; and though marriage hath cares yet the single life hath desires, which are more troublesome and more danger ous, and often end in sin, while the cares are but instances of duty and exercises of piety; and therefore if single life bath more privacy of devotion, yet marriage bath more necessities and more variet ies of it ; it is an exercise of more grac es. Marriage is the proper scene of piety and patience, of the duty of pa rents and the charity of relations ; here kindness is spread abroad, and love is united and made firm as a centre.- Mar riage is the nursery of Heaven. The virgin sends prayers to God, but she carries but one soul to him ; but the state of marriage fills up the number of the elect, and hath in it the labor of love and the delicacies of friendship, the blessing of society, and the union of hands and hearts. It hath in it less of beauty but more of safety than the sin gle life ; it bath more care but less dan ger ; it is more merry and more sad ; it is fuller of sorrows, and fuller of joys; it lies under more burdens, but it is sup ported by all the strength of love and charity, and those burdens are delight ful. Marriage is the mother of the world, and preserves kingdoms, and fills cities, and churches, and Heaven itself Celibacy, like the fly in the heart of the apple, dwells in perpetual sweetness, but sits alone, and is confined and dies in singularity ; but marriage, like the useful bee, builds a house ° and gathers sweetness from every flower, and labors and unites into societies and republics, and sends out armies, and feeds the world with delictriee, and obeys their king, and keeps order, and exercises f may virtues, and promotes interests 'F .. .kind, and is that state of g d kings to which God hath designed he present constitution of the world. GIFT TO PRESIDENT jOHNSON.-1110 day night a coffee or tea set, formerly sed by Jeff. Davis and sold at auction With a quantity of silver plate just previous to the evacuation of the city by the lab els, was presented to President Johnson by Mr. A. Barratti, of Richmond, who purchased the article at the auction sale. The coffee or tee set in question is a perfect miniature or fac simile of a railroad locomotive, with tender detach ed ; the locomotive boiler receives the coffee or tea, makes and discharges it through a spiggot, asteam whistle indi cating when tea or coffee is ready. The boiler of the locomotive is of porcelain, and the figure of the fireman, of the same material, appears on the locomo tive vigorously ringing the bell, which,. we suppose, means the breakfast, dinner or supper bell. The tender, which is an admixture of brass and other metal, carries the sugar in an dlegant sugar caisson, with goblet for cognise and stunning small cut glasses. The sides of the tender are embellished with racks for cigars. The most curious contriv ance of all is a secret music box, located somewhere in the tender, which, being set, plays eight popular airs, sufficient in length to entertain a supper. dinner, or breakfast table. The whole establish ment, engine and tender, rests upon two beautiful enamelled waiters. Upon the side of the locomotive, in miniature, is emblazoned "President Jefferson Da vis," showing that the testimonial, loco motive and tender, were built expressly for his use or pleasure. Upon the front, just above where the "cow-catcher" ought to be, appears the confederate um tionerbanner and battle flag, entwined with the national ensign of France. A lsiztv FUEL—An invention has been patented which consists in combining petroleum and oil waste, or raw petro leum oil, cow-dung, coal-dust, and water to form artificial fuel, the proportions of the ingredients being varied according as the fuel is intended for domestic or locomotive and marine purposes. It is believed that this new fuel will give, far greater heat with less expense than any other fuel now in general use, and that it will also be in the highest degree ad. vantageons for steamers going on long voyages, and for engines in confined places, such as mines, from the fact that so much heat-producing material may be packed in a small space. Quin was at a small. dinner party. There was a delicious pudding, of which the master of the house begged him t6' partake. A gentleman had just • beleie helped himself to an immense piece of it. "Pray," said gain, looking first at tkie_glingomso Ate =WO theta at the disb, "which is the pudding ? " • • - VOL. XI.-NO. 41 Was he a Tyrant ? A paper which we need not name characterizes the assassination of Presi dent Lincoln in the following language : "President Lincoln lies dead in Wash ington, the latest instance of the liabili ty of tyrants to the asPassin's weapon." It would be vain to point out to the paper in question, or the dangerous se cession clique that infests the city, of which it is the month piece, that no man ever deserved the character of tyrant less than the late President. He delayed proceedings against the rebels who had treacherously seized the property of the United States, until they actually fired upon the national flag at Fort Sumpter. Was this tyran ny ? He Bought to conciliate the slarehold ing States which had not quite seceded, by every concession in his power, even to the removing of an able and success ful General, like Fremont. Was this tyranny ? , He sought, by the least forcible means, and the smallest practible amount of change, to fulfill his sworn tobligations to maintain the Union and maintain all the laws. Was this tyranny ? When he could not succeed otherwise, he, as a war measure, and after an hun dred day's notice, proclaimed freedom to all the slaves in the revolted States. Was this tyranny ? He allowed many such papers as the New York World to abuse him with a preserving rancor and unscrupulousness that equalled the worst prints in Cana da, and that is strong language. Was this tyranny ? When the rebellion was fairly crushed he sent a whole army of traitors away peacefully to their homes, and held out the . Alive branch to those who were not able to contend longer against the Gov ernment. Was this tyranny ? Tyrants never go to public places without attendants, either open or dis guised, or both; and if President Lin coln had been a tyrant he would have had come one watching over him, and his life would have been saved ; but in the consciousness of seeking the good of every human 'being in the State, he felt no.fear. Was this like a tyrant? At the time of the President's death he was resisting a large section of hie own party who deprecated his undue lenity. Was this tyranny ? Nay, the paper in question, in the very article of which we have copied the opening paragraph. pays the following extraordinary tribute to the merciful and benign character of the very man it accuses of tyranny : "We believe that it will be proved that the bullet that slew Lincoln, and the dagger that stabbed Seward, were directed by the extremities of the Re publican' party, who charged Lincoln and Seward with sacrificing their inter ests by undue concessions to rebels." We need not say that the above ex planation of the President's assassina tion is just like. that which attributed the firing of the New York hotels to the government at Washington. If there be any candid persons still deceived by the distorted accounts they continually see of this American con flict, will their eyes not be opened by the scarcely concealed exultation of the secession organs over a crime that makes the world shudder ?--Montreal Witness. In Pittsburg is a most inveterate thief named John Westley. He called at an eating-house to get dinner, and while it was, being cooked, he left with the din ing-room clock. When dinner was brought in, the guest and clock were missing. The police were informed, and in a short time discovered the clock in a jewelry store. John had traded it for another clock and five dollars. He then seldlis second clock, and while making the trade stole a black silk neck-tie. The police at last succeeded in trapping him. "He is in a safe place." or We must be smitten with the rod of God ; but in the, midst of judgement God remembers mercy, and makes the rod medicinal, and, like the rod of God in the hand of Aaron, to shoot forth buds and leaves and almonds, hopes and mercies, and eternal recompense on the day of retribution.—Jeremy Thoor. Two men were conversing about , e of their wives. "Ah," said one, with a sorrowful expression, "miner is, a Tarter." "Well," replied the-,other,, "mine is worse than that ; mine is the cream of Tartar." . Major General Ambrose E. Burn _ s ide r esigned hie 0001MillilOil io the army oo the 15th ultimo. MI
