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

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

hastened to her—returned in three min
utes and led me into her presence to re

My dear mother hated trouble, and
she moreover loved, me tenderly; so
that she was well pleased to find a hus

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.

Personal Neatness.

Some may.aay.that quite out of
the question, for farmers' wives and

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

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.

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."

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.

from the eye of beauty says that it slip
ped through his fingers and went right

wound.
