MARIETTA, SATURDAY MORNING; AUG-11ST 5, 1865.
I—Scream !
Madeline of the Saturday Evening
Poste "Kitchen Cabinet" gives the fol
lowing rich sell on Ice Cream,
I do not propose to give instructions
in ice-cream-making; for I know but lit
tle about it. But I can tell of two ice
cream sells that.l saw effected not five
yards from our door the other, day, when
the thermometer stoat at 951-2 in the
shade. ,
Johannes Jaguez, who drove his lo
comotive ice-cream • concern past our
way, right'ont into Jersey somewhere
every day, has got , a voice' like' a high
pressure steamboat. If Johannes had
been commander of the Army of the
Potomac, and knew how to do the thing,
an'il could have stioken 'consecutive
w'ords of intelligible English, he could
have displayed the column and formed
the line of battle of the, whole army with
out an ai4l-de-camp., He Could have
made everybody hear him.easy.
Well Johannes was dragging out
through the sand at high, scorching noon,
roaring with all his monstrous might of
lungs—
"l sc r eam I I scream I"
"Wal I'll be 'dod . dinged of I don't
think you do scrdam, mister," soliloqui
zed a rural sample of Jersey from away
in yonder, who was resting : his panting
nag under one of the maples in front of
our house.'
Along came Johannes, bellowing his
I—scream twice at every revolution , of
his wagon-wheel. I brought the Tueton
to a,halt, and purchased a quart of •the
frozen liquid. Jersey got a view of it,
and opened his eyes very' wide--
"I•say—what d'ye call that are yeller
white stuff?" . •
screcutz !" went off.Datehman, with
a roar that started Jersey half out of his
boots.
"Thunder and hoop-snakes I I know
you scream like all possessed. But I
wanted to know the name , of that are
stuff !"
I explained--"lce-cream."
"Thank ye, marm. Is it good ter eat
raw 2"
"Oh, yes—nice. Try a spoonful, Sir."
Jersey opened his mouth like a four
horse corneheller, and I dabbed into the
chasm a heapeil tip spoonful of cream.
His eyes snapped, he humped up his
back like,' and then after swallowing
three or four times, he sung out--
"Oh, jemmy I butt thatare is good !
How d'ye sell her, mister?"
'!Dree guarder dollars guart,", batch-
Pao. ,
"I sings, that are's pretty steep up--
but I reckon ',must have some for ther
old woman and gals. They never seed
no sech,stuff. Will it keep, mister v ,
"lrea's it geeis gooot tlfs'nefer Was."
"Virell,'give us two quarts." Jersey
got a - basket but of his wagon.' - "Will
it keep in this ?"
"Oh, yeas, it gasps blentee."
So Jersey got , his,two loans of ice
cream' in his basket, which he hung up
under the! black cover of his' wagon
where it was several degrees hotter 'than
an , oven -ought.to. be. ,
:Johannes took hisll',so, and went on
roaring , away—"l-- scream !" while Jer
sey—well—if the "eld woman," or gale
either, sees any, of that basket, of ice
cream, more than the basket, I shall
purchase jersey's secret for keeping the
material.

There are women who cannot grow
old--womea who, without any special
effort remain always young arid Always
attractive. The number is smaller than
it should be, there is still .. a sufficient
number to mark the wide difference be
tween this class and the other. The
secret of this perpetual youth, lies not
in beanty,lor some women possess it
who are'not at all handseme ; nor in
dress, for they are frequently careless
in that respect, so far as the mere arbi
trary dictates of fashion are tenoned ;
nor in- having: nothing to do, for these
ever young women are alWays as busy
as bees, and it is very well known that
idleness, will fret people : into old age
and ugliness faster thou over-york. The
charm, we imagine, lies in a sunny tem
per—neither more or leis than'the bless
ed gift of always looking on the bright
side oflife, and of stretching the mantle
of charity over everybody's faults and
failings, It is not much of a secret; but
it is all that we have been able to dis
cover, and-we have watched such with
great interest, and a determination to
report truthfully for.the rest of the sex.
It is very provoking that 'it is some
thing which cannot, be corked lap and
sold for fifty cents a bottle ; but as this
is impossible, the most of us will have
to keep on growing as ugly and disagree
able as usual.—N. American.
LUCKY AND UNLucx.v.—A. young man
from Worcester, a private in the 57,th
Regiment, in the battle of Oold Harbor,
a year ago, was hit by a ball in the chin,
which !badly fractured the bone, and
tore out' several teeth. Another• ball
hit the right shoulder, fractured the
shoulderblade, and remains undiscover
ed. The third ball Passed . through his
abdomen and brought him to the ground.
His companions dragged hind to a hole,
where his body and head could not be
seen by the enemy ; but his legs being
exposed, one ball passed through the
calf of his leg, another cut a deep groove
through his shin, another cut. through
the top of,the instep, and another carried
away the next to the great toe. He lay
in the hole all dn,.and was then taken
prisoner and starved for several months,
yet this young man is now in Worce
ster, erect and in good health, and not
perceptibly lame. His name is E. P.
Rockwood.

each man takes his shot at the bung
hole as it turns up. It is afterward ex
amined, and if there is a shot that didn't

A Secret of Youth.
Little' Deaf,
In the old . time, before Maine'laws
were invented, .Winglrept the hotel •at
Middle Granville, and from his well
stocked bar'fornished "accommodations
to man and beast," He was a good
landlord but 'terribly. deaf. - Veil, the
village painter, ams — aftlicted in the
same way. ,
One day they were sitting by them
selVes in the bar-room. Wing was be
hind the counter waiting for the next
customer, while Fish was. lounging be
fore the fire, with a thirsty look, casting
sheep's eyes occasionally at Wing's de-
canters, and wishing most devoutly that
some one would come in and treat.
A traveller from the South, on hie
way to Brandon, stopped in to inquire
the distance, Going up.to the counter,
he said :
o'Can you tell me, sir, how far it is to
Brandon ?" •
"Brandy?" says the ready landlord,
jumping up ; "Yes, sir, I have seine,"
at the same time handing down a decan
ter of the precious liquid.
"You misunderstand , me," says -•the
stranger. "I asked low far it was . to
Brand on."
"They 'call' it pretty 'good - brandy,"
says Wing. "Wi4l you take sugar with
it?" reaching as he spoke for the 'bowl
and toddy-stick.
The- despairing traveller turned to
Fish. ' •
"The landlord," says he; "seems to
be deaf I will yon tell de how far it is
to Brandon?"
"The i nk yon," said Fish, "I don't, care
if I do take a drink with you 1"
The stranger treated and fled.
CONUNDRUMS: -Why is *a talkative
young man like a pig ? Becaus'e; if he
lives, he is likely to become a great bore.
why are un'dertakers like profession'

boxing people.

killing with intent to_salt.

was notorious for lazinnss in general,

"Doctor, I have tried everything I can

A kiss,is a little thing, and evanes
cent, but •of potent influence. A linger
ing,.tender kiss will flood the heart with
joyous.emotions when a volume of words
might fail. It bindeth up the sore spir
it; aiid;oft given, covereth a multitude
of short-cominge, None of us can for
get that it was the panacea of childhood.
To women Ude as necessary as the sun
shine and dew to the rose. We refer
not to the "strong-minded" of the sex
who, in their boasted independence, find
all that is needful to existence within
themselves—but to those gentle, do
mestic beings who make glad homes.
A frequent, heart giving kiss will keep
fresh the sweetness which otherwise
would turn to coldness and indifference.
The lover bestows them profusely on his
sweetheart, and marvels at her loveli
ness as she bounds to meet him. She
is beautiful, for joy has made her so.
The husband gives them not, and soon
is wondering at the change so brief a
period has wrought in his wife. Al
though she listens anxiously for his foot
falls, her face does not brighten as of
yore, nor does she spring to meet him
for the caress she yearns for, but knows
will not be given. She becomes exact
ing and , if he' Is belated, asks reproach
fully how he can stay away so long from
his family. This meets from him an ac
rid reply. They preside silently at the
meal,,vieing in an apparent unconscious
ness of each other's presence, the si
lence only disturbed by the crowing,
blue-eyed baby in the mother's arms.
With the first unkind word the charm
has been broken, and imperfections
have been exhumed which the soil of
love had covered.—The wife has even
become suspicious of her husband's
truth; be he as faithful as the needle to
the pole. •
FOREIGN, Gossip :—The Pope is still
(temporally) in trouble. All negotia
tions for re-placing the Kingdom of
Italy under spiritual obedience to the
Holy See . hEive failed, as Victor Eman
uel very consistently and firmly made it
a sine qua non that before he acknowl
edged the spiritual ascendancy of Rome,
the Pope should acknowledge the tem
poral status of the Kingdom of Italy.
The Spanish Ambassador has also made
an official announcement to the Pope
that Queen . Isabel acknowledges the
Kingdom'of Italy. Lestly, His Holi

Church property by Maximilian, in Mex

There is a singular piece of gossip
from Belgium. It runs thus—that King
Leopold, who will be seventy-five years
old on the 16th of next December, and
whose life has lately been threatened by
nainful and dangerous illness, which has
been subdued, under God, by the skill
of a.London doctor, (who received $60,-
000 as a fee from his liberally grateful
patient) has, formed a left-handed or
morganatic marriage with a Scotch
nurse, aged twenty-seven, who tended
him with the most kindly care during
his:late severe suffering. It is added
that King Leopold,4l niece ( Victoria of
England,) , '-whom he lately consulted on
this particuhar domestic subject, expres
sed herself, more warmly than politely,
upon what she called its rank folly ; but
that his heir, the Duke of-Brabant, cour
teously assured him that he might do as
he' pleased, and that he would secure an
excellent nurse, which was as mach as
he required, perhaps, at his advanced
age, and in his. doubtful state of health.
King Leopold was married in 1816, to
the Princess Charlotte of Wales, heir
presumptive to the British throne, who
died in 1817 ;• and in 1832 was married
to the Princecs Louise of Orleans, eldest
daughter of Louis Philippe, then King
of the French. She died in 1850 ; so
that,if Leopold has married a third time,
he let fifteen years elapse between his
first and second marriage, and an equal
interval between his second and third.
