On The Beach. Hand in hand on the beach we walked, In the Bummers long ago ; The waves came up and kissed the beach, Then murmuring back would go ; The stars shone bright in the tranquil Sky, The moon looked down with a ghastly eye, And the sweet south winds came moan ing by, And the still, email hours of night drew nigh, Yet hand in hand on the beach we walk ed, And of Love's sweet fancies idly talked In the summers long gone by. Ah, how the old, old love comes back, As I think of it to-night ; Strange, such a foolish, childish dream A woman's heart can blight I For love is only, a flower of June— The waning light of an autumn, moon— The tender notes of a tender tune That breaks in a dreamy afternoon, Charming the heart and the senses away, Alluring us on with childish play, That endeth so very soon. We dreamed the dream—'tie over now, We have cast the toy away, And never will touch the broken thing— The fragments that round ns lay. Yet oh, how oft in my dreams I see The spectre of things that used to be ; My soul is weighed with a memory Of music and moonlight, love and thee. In dreams we walked on that silvery shore, Hands clasped in hands as in days of yore, When our hearts were young and free Well, it was best we did not wed, For we both were poor, and oh, When poverty comes in the door. Love flieth away, you knoti. Now, you are wedded to Lilly Vane, ' She holds your heart with a golden chain. To-morrow (would it, were o'er, the pain Is searing my life, madd'ning my brain) I must kneel at the altar, careless, cold, And-Sell myself for an old man's gold, Ay, wear the golden chain. He calls me his queen, hie bird, his dower— Well, well, he shall never know My love was bought with a golden dow- er-- "ris better that it were so. Oh. Love is a bird that comes with Spring When cold winds blow it plumes its wing ' And flieth away, yet still will ring Through' all the years its echoing. The heart will throb, and the breast will sigh; When the ghosts come back from days gone by. Yet 'tie all imagining 1 ,SOIStETEiIiG FOR TYPOS.--"* of thy . istenee, give me in ," said , a Frit1 r ter to his sweetheart. She immediately made a attire and planted her between- his - twoli...

MARIETTA,. SATURDAY IVIORNING,_MAY 27, 1865. My Plain Lover I was a coquette. Many a lover's heart I bad lacerated by refusing his of fer of marriage, after I had lured him on to a declaration. My last victim's name was James Frazer. He was a tel . ], awk ward, homely, ungainly man, but his heart was true as steel. I respect him highly, and felt pained when I witness ed his anguish at my rejection of him. But the fact was, I had myself fallen in love with Captain Elliot, who had been unremiting in his devotion to me. Mr. James Frazer warned the against Elliot ; but I charged him with jealousy, and took his warning as an insult. A few days afterwards Elliot and I were engaged, and my dream of roman tic love seemed to be in a fair way of realization. I had a week of happiness. Many have not so much in a life time. Many awake from the bright short dream to find themselves in life-long darkness and bondage from which there is no es cape. Thank God, I was not to be so miserable as they My mother was a widow in good cir cumstances, but having very bad health. She was also of an easy, listless, credu lous nature—bating trouble, and willing to take things just as they happen to present themselves. She therefore made no inqufries about Captain Elliot—but fondly believed that inasmuch as he was a captain he must necessarily be a man of honor also, especially as he had ser ved in the Crimea and India and had won medals. His regiment was quart ered in our neighborhood, and he had the reputation of being one of the wealthiest as he was certainly the hand somest officer in it. remember well the day we became engaged. He was on duty, but had managed to ride over to our house in his uniform, and while we were walking in the garden he made the tender avow al. I referred lam to "mamma ;" he hastened to her—returned in three min utes and led me into her presence to re ceive the assurance that the maternal consent bad been readily and freely giv en My dear mother hated trouble, and she moreover loved, me tenderly; so that she was well pleased to find a hus band presenting himself in a form and manner apparently so eligible for her beloved and only daughter. Well, a week passed quite delightful. ly as I have said ; and at the expiration of this there might have been seen an equestrian party winding through our old Devonshire woods and quiet country roads. Elliot and I led the calvacade. I rode my own beautiful brown Bess. Captain Elliot was mounted on a hand some black horse that had been sent him from London, Following us was a bevy of merry girls and their cavaliers ; and among them was tall, awkivard and silent James Frazer. His presence had marred all the pleasure of my ritle, and I was glad to be in advance of them all that I might not see him. And as we rode on through the woods, I listened, well pleased, to the. low but animated words of the gallant Elliot, who wished himself a knight and me a faire ladye of the olden time - that he might go forth to do battle and nompel all men to recognize the claims of his peerless love. Very eloquently he spoke of the inspiration of love, of the brave deedi and perilous eiploits it had promoted, wishing again - and again that he might proclaim and maintain hie love before the world. It pleased me to listen to this and to believe it sincere though I surely had no wish to put my lover to such a test. • A shot suddenly rang through the woods, and a wounded bird, darting past, fluttered and fell at the feet of brown ,Bess. With a bound and a spring that nearly unseated me, she was off. Struggling to regain my Beat, I bad no power to check her, and even as she flew, the fear and madness of the mo ment grew'• upon her. I could Only cling breathlessly to the mane and bri dle, and wonder` helplessly where this mad gallop was to end. She swerved frbirl a passing' wagon, and turned into a path that led to the river. In &sudden movement the reins had been torn from my hands and I could not regain them. I clung to the mane and closed my eyes, that I might not behold the fate that awaited me. How sweet' was life in those precious moments that I , thbught my last 1 How all its joys, its affections, its last crowning love, rose, up before me 1 I thought of the pain that would rend. Elliot' s . heart as he saw me , mangled and dead ; and then the thought . would come if he were pursuing and try ing to save"nie, even, as he had said, at the risk of life and limb. I remember :no more.' I. felt a sudden shock, a fearful rushing through the• air, and knew no more until days afterwards I woke to a faint, weak semblance of life in my chamber at home. I never saw ,Captain Elliot again. The last wordal ever -heard-, from his lips were,those of knightly daring. The last action of hie life" in connection-with mine, was ,to follow in the train of fright ened youtths mho -rode after me, to . don template;the disastet from afar, and as soon as t heimw me lifted, from the shal low bed of ,the river, into which I. had been th-rown when my frightened horse stopped suddenly,on its banks, to ride hastily olf.. 'That, evening he sent to make inquirics, and learning. that I was severely, but not .fatally injured, he ,thenceforth contented himself with such tiding+ of my condition and improve ment as could be gained from mere ru mor. At last it was known that I would never recover entirely from the effects of my injury, that very day Captain El liot departed suddenly, from, the neigh borhood. Ho made no attempt, to see me, nor sent ,me any farewell. When I was once more abroad, and beginning, though with much unalloyed bitterness to learn the lesson of patience and res ignation that awaited me, I received a letter from him, in which he merely said that he presumed my own judgement had taught me, that in my altered cir cumstances our engagement must come to an end 1 but to satisfy hiL own sense of honor (his honor l) he wrote to say that while entertaining the highest re spect for me, he desired a formal renun ciation of my claim. Writing on the bottom of this letter, "Let it be as you wish," I returned it to him, at once, and thus ended my brief dream of a roman- . tic wedding. I heard ere this of Elliot's cowardly conduct on that day ; but now I first bethought me to inquire who had res cued me from that imminent death. And then I learned that James Frazer, his arm already broken by the jerk with which Brown Bess had torn away from him as he caught at her bridle, had rid den after me and been the first one to lift me from the water. Many times daily he made inquiries concerning me his had been the hand that bad sent the rare flowers that had decked my room ; his were the lips that breathed words of comfort and hope to my poor mother; his were the books that I read during the days of convalescence . ; and his, now, the arm that supported me, as slowly and painfully I paced the garden walks. I have been his wife for many a year. I have forgotten that he is not hand some—or rather he is beautiful to me, because I see his grand and loving spir it shining . through his • plain features and animating his figure. 1 have long since lain aside, as utterly untenable, my theory that beautiful spirits dwell only in lovely bodies. It may be a providen tial compensation that, in denying physi cal perfection, the soul is , not dwarfed or marred by petty vanity or love of the world's praise. FIINNIKENTS :-A country editor, speaking of spiritualism, says : "We don't believe in any medium except the 'circulating medium,' and that has be come so scarce that our belief in that is shaking:" A 'private in the 6th lowa cavalry, stationed on the frontier of Dacotah, where whisky was not to be had, added the following postscript to a letter to his wife in Debiaqtie :—"Annie, dip yer letter in whiskey, so that I can get a schmell of the craythur once more."

We find the following Sensible cle, with the above heading, in the' last number of that valuable family journal, the Germantown Telegraph : Some may.aay.that quite out of the question, for farmers' wives and daughters, who have so many duties to perform, to o always lok tidy. , Some do have say so, and I often heard ,them; but such deClarations do not, in my,opin ion, militate against the general princi ple. A wife or daughter sun be person 7 ally neat, no matter what duty she may be employed at. Those who allow themselves to appear negligently dress ed on the plea that they have something to do—cooking, washing, scrubbing, whitewashing, itc...--are pretty sure to be habitually untidy. A torn, faded, soiled, bad-fitting gown, with a sun-bon net in keeping, worn in•the house or out of it, elipahod shoes, &c., no appearance of r a white collar ; hair squashed upon the head, and plenty straying about the neck—do not give the husband, if he possesses any_idea of cleanliness himself, a very elevated idea of his wife's attrac tions; nor will the daughters, who may be equally delinquent, impress the young men of the neighborhood very favora bly. I am a wife and a housekeeper, and have been -a. daily worker for twenty-five years in my household, but I have never seen the day when I ccould.not take time to attend to my personal appearance. System and a desire to be always elean ly, will not only afford the, necessary time, but will make the labor one of the highest pleasures. My husband never has had nor never shall have occasion to twit me or the girls in relation to a mat ter-which every woman's pride and self respect ought to provide against. Will not then my sister housekeepers give this question of propriety and re spectability their serious consideration? They should remember that it not only concerns themselves, but especially their daughters and in no small degree their eons also. The Bible tells us that "cleanliness is next to godliness," and I believe in the bible. MARTHA. AMP OAKACTEN OF LINCOLN.-ID an arti le on the fame of President Lincoln the N. Y. Tribune says : ".lie was not a man of transcendent genius, of rare insight, of resistless force of character, who bends every thing to his will. On the contrary, he was one of those who waited opportunity, and thought long awl patiently, before ven turing on an impertant step', hearkening intently for that; "voice of the people," which was to 'Mil; in most cases, the "voice of God." Al etrikin add , honor ed exemplar of some of the best points in our National 'character, he sleeps`the sleep .of the honored and just, and there are few graves which will be more et tensively, persistently visited, or bedew ed with the tears of a people's prouder, fonder affection,,than that of Abraham ,ln. r THE PRESIDENT'S TOMB.—The foilow ing from the Springfield State Register of Thursday, the - Bth instant, is interest ing: "Last evening, it, heing the first since the remains of President Lincoln were laid at rest in Oak Ridge, a large num ber of our citizens visited the cemetery who. were unable to accompany the pro= cession thither on Thursday last. Along the streets and road leading to the tomb there was a constant passage of pedestrians and vehicles daring the entire afternoon, such a concourse as we have never seen visit the grounds of a Sabhath before, and' such as Mettifested to the most thoughtless beholder tbe fact" hat a new shrine had beeh erected there, and one to which' every stringer passing thiough' Springfield hereafter will be induced to wander." IN-(BOWING TOE NATLS.—It ie stated that cauterization by hot tenon' is an• immediate care for in-growing naile. Put a small• piece of tallow in' au spoon, and heat it over a lamp until it becoulds very hot, and drop' two . or thfee drUPs between nail-and granulations. The et fect is almost magical. Pain and tend erness are at once relimied, and in a few days the granulations all go, leaving the diseased parts dry, and destitute of , all feeling, find the edge of the nail•exp geed, so as to admit of being pared away with out any inconvenience. The dperation causes little if any-pain, if•the tallow is properly heated. - An indolent boy being eahed by - hie teacher wbo)ceme.lateet to y tpkol, replied; ",Indeed, sir, Lcannetkay did not get here early enough to Ree?' VOL. XI.-NO. 42. A Singular Case of Petrifaction Authenticated cases of the total pe- trifaction of the human body are very rare. The medical folios contain a few substantiated instances, but they are of rare occurrence. Such a circumstance, however, came to our notice yesterday, says the Philadelphia News. Eight years ago an elderly lady, Mrs. John Sturges, the wife of a carpenter, in West Philadelphia, who lives in Market street below Thirty-Seventh, was buried in the Varying ground of the Asbury Meths didt Episcopal church, in West Phila delphia. The grave was dug in a por tion of the lot near the chureh in moist clay: The sexton who dug the grave found a little jet of water flowing into the excavationand a little opening in the side of the walls. The water filled the grave before the body was brought to the burial-ground, and was baled out before the coffin was lowered. Some of the attendants at the funeral observed that the water possessed strong mineral properties but the grave was closed and the• matter was forgotten. Mr. Sturges recently purchased a lot of ground in Mount Moriah cemetery, and directed her body to be removed to the late place of interment. On Mon day the sexton of Asbury church and hie assistant opened the grave. The coffin was reached at the depth ofseven feet. The straps were placed under it, and the two men attempted to lift the coffin but their . united strength could not move it from its bed. They imme diately conjectured that the grave had been robbed when Mrs. Sturges was first interred, and the coffin filled with stones. They procured the assistance of a num ber of the members of the church, and raised the coffin. It required the effect of eight men to remove it, and when it was opened the body of the woman was revealed in a state of miraculous preser vation, as white as marble and as hard ,as agate. The petrifaction bad been complete. The only part of the body that was not as perfect as when the coffin lid was first closed was the nose, which was slightly decayed, but was of the same adamantine hardness ae the rest of the body. The exhuming of the body and the singular discovery attending the opening of the coffin attracted the attention of the medical profession and the people of West Philadelphia. The coffin was found in a state of comparative preser vation, but without any change whatev er in the structure of the wood. It was carried into the church and lay there until Thursday afternoon when it was closed, and the carpenter had it remov ed to Mount Moriah Cemetery and re interred. REMEDY FOR A FELON.—This very pain ful eruption, with all the "remedies" recommended, is seldom arrested until it has run a certain course, after causing great suffering for two or three days and nights. The following remedy is vouch ed for by the Buffalo Advocate, as a certain thing from its own knowledge : "Tate a pint of common soft soap and stir in air-slacked lime till it is of the consistency of glazier's putty. Make a leather thimble, fill it with this compo sition, and insert the finger therein, and a cure is certain." This is a domestic application that every hotisekeeper can apply promptly. PLEASANT FOR THE SOLDIERS.—They have a droll style of keeping up military dignity in Canada. A couple of fifers and drummers, headed by two sergeants, march through the streets playingS live ly air. At the principal corners a halt is'made, and the sergeants publicly cau tion every one not to give credit to the soldiers in garrison, the proclamation being sealeirsby the fife and drum play ing "God save the Queen." Of course, the soldiers feel highly honored in being thus publicly proclaimed as swindlers. The London (C. W.) Prototype de scribes the operation in that place as "theWahal method of crying down the credit of the troops in garrison." To Dniinov Ears.—Take fish-hooks, eay abort the size used for sunfish, bait ed with a small piece of dried beef, and place where chickens, dogs and cats can not get at them, and in a few days rate will disappear. A large distillery was cleared and kept free in this way. gar T44lmart who caught a &ace from the eye of beauty says that it slip ped through his fingers and went right through his heart, inflicting a dangerous wound. Air No doubt a lady may be expected to make a great noise in the world when her dress is covered with bugles.
