She had a classic brow of pearl, Her neek was like the swan ; A fairer face, a lovelier form, • . You never gazed upon; Her eye was large, and brown, and bright Her cheek was like the rose, With lipethit tempted—tue, at least, Too much for my repose 1 With trembling heart and faltering tongue, My pa4sion I confessed ; She leid•her gentle band in mine, And sank upon my breast; I took her to my throbbing heart— I wished to take her home ; But oh, the pangs of poverty! That was a thing to come. My fearless love the smouldering fire Of young ambition fanned ; For fortune audit home I sought The distant sunset land ; The fruits of honest, manly toil I soon began to reap— I bought a farm in lowa, Well stocked with splendid sheep.

I watched her in the mazy dance, The belle or all the crowd; Graceful, and sweet, .and gentle, yet' Magnificent and proud 't And oh i the love that for me Hashed From out her kindling eye I And oh, her waist l it made me think Of some bine bottled fly!

MARIETTA, SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 31, 1866. - " Mysterious Providence;" The doctor--sacrilegious man Declared it was no riddle ; Though " Providence bad shaped her ends," - Corsets had shaped her middle They raised a costly monument, Inscribing - their surprise That God should bear so sweet a flower So early to the skies ; But walking out with me one day, The doctor wrote beneath— '• Here lies a handsome simpleton, Who squeezed herself to death !" And added be, "of all the great Inventions now possessed, This one of corsets is by far The usefulest and beat: It traps the vain and foolish girls, And tikes away their lives, But leaves the wise and sensible To make us men-folks wives." I mourned, but by and by consoled Myself by wedding one With common sense enough to let Her natural form alone ; But still I love all pretty girls, And wish I could persuade them To leave their bodies in the shape Their wise Creator made them. REMARKABLE CA3E OF TRANCE.— A lady, residing within sixteen miles of Raleigh, says the Progress, who has been in delicate health since she lost her husband in 1858, died last Friday (as was supposed), and her friends in the neighborhood proceeded to take the . steps usual on such occasions. The coffin was ordered, the corpse shrouded and laid out, and all needful prepara tions consummated for the funeral care •monies last Sabbath. Strange as it may appear it is said that, while the watchers in an adjoining room Were indulging in hilarity and hoc coffee, a noise was heard in the apartment where the remaius of . the beloved departed reposed. Supposing a cat or rat was playing thereiu, a gentleman went to stop le revelry. On opening the door he wits horrified to find the lady stanaing , the floor the very incarnation of per The bravo !allow hastily re t treated. His demonstrations excited the rest of the party, .and the wholok crew, shrieking and trembling, deserted the house for a season. Au elderly ne4 giess, more courageous than the others; went into the. dwelling, ascertained the state of affairs, and, with Christian he roism, administered to the necessities of the dead-olive one. Search was then made for the re- treaters, who, being found as a neigh. bin's, returned to the domicil they had ss. so shamefully abandoned. Dr. Bell, formerly of Greenville, South Carolina, who has attended the lady duritig the past six months, assures us that these are unvarnished facts, and present no new truths to the medical profession. It is simply ik:iase of trance or suspended animation. The only re markable circumstance, perhaps, is the duration of the spell, though after her presumed decease the absence of that perfect icyness which is peculiar to the dead was remarked by the physician as well-as her friends. The lady is now able to sit up, and being in the last stages of consumption, is- as well as.she ever will be. She re members very little of the hours of her trance. but experienced an almost pain ful thirst in the first moment of return ing conscience. sir In a collection of war anecdotes, it is related that 'a certain - soldier was singularly lucky in saving his life in one of the actions in which the regiment was engaged. The drums beating to arms before he had finished his• dinner, lie thrust a piece of bacon, too precious & morsel in such a precarious time to be wasted, into the brea4 pocket of hie °oat. After the battle was over he dis covered a bullet in his bacon, and ever afterwards, when thankfully recounting the tale of his miraculous escape, he used to say that he was doublyfortu nate, for that he " not only saved his 'bared. bat that his bacon bad saved , Ili~Nute=on screws are sometimee t im, Imovable but, may be taken off by mopes, of heat.

A warm room is as easily venti lated as a cool one. The warm air of a close vehicle is less injurious, be it ever so foul, from crowding; than to ride and sit and feel uncomfortably cold =for an. hour. The . worst that can happen frOut a crowded conveyance is a fainting spell_; while, from sitting even less than atOtour in a still, chilly attnosphere r has induced attacks of pneumonia, that is, inflammation of the lunge, which often proves fatal in three or four days. It is always positively injurious to sleep in a close room where water freezes ba-- cause such a degree of cold causes the negatively poisonous carbonic acid gas of a sleeping room to settle near the floor, where the sleeper breathes and re breathes it, atd is capable of producing typhoid feverin a few hours. Hence, there is no advantage, and always daug er,-especially to weak persons,. in sleep. iug in an atmosphere colder than the freezing point. . That ft is necessary to the proper and efficient ventilation of a room, even in warm weatheF, that a window or door should be left open ; this is always hiz itrdous to the sick and convalescent. -Quite its safe a plan of ventilation, and as efficient, is to keep alatnp or small fire burning in the fireplace. This cre ates a draft, and carries' bad - airs and gasses up dip chimney. That ont door exercise before break fast is healthful. It is never so. And, from the very, nature of things, is hurt ful, especially to persons of poor health ; although the very-•vigorous practice it with impunity. winter, the body is easily chilled/through and through, un less the stomach has been fortified with a good, warm breakfast; and in warm weather, miasmatic and malations gas es and emanations speedily act upon the empty and weak stomach in a way to vi tiate the circulation and induce fever and ague, diarrhea and dysentery ; en tire families, who have arranged to eat breakfast before leaving the house And to take supper before sundown, have had a complete exemption from fever and ague, while the whole community around them was suffering from it, from having neglected these precautions. That whatever lessens cough is "good" for ii. and, if persevered in, will cure it. Clir the contrary, all coughs are soonest cured by promoting and increasing them, ( because nature endeavors by the cough to help bring up the phlegm and yellow 4stter which is in the lungs,. as the canpo_t heal while that matter is where. And aiCit cannot be got rid of it:Vont coughing, the more coughing there:Ss-the sooner it is got rid of-the sooner are the lungs cleared out for t fuller and freer reception of pure air, 'which is their natural food. The only remedies which can do any good in coughs are such as loosen the phlegm, . and thus less cough is required to bring it up. These temedies are warmth, out "door exercise,and anything which slight ly nauseates. CONSULT• A LAWYER.--it is quite ne cessary when people make wills, as many do who feel an anxiety that their property should go to certain heirs in certain •proportions, that they should consult a lawyer upon the subject, Men often.make wile who subsequently mar ry or acquire additional property, and neither their wives nor their after ac (piked estates are mentioned in the will. They die, and their property takes a de scent totally different from what they would have wished if living. A. case is now pending in Rhode Island, i 1 which a wealthy man married, and, dying"suon after, left a will that was made before his marriage. His estate is valued at a million of drillers, and his widow is left an expensive and very doubtful lawsuit; instead of a large fortune. Such cases as these are constantly occurring, and show the great necessity of taking no step in the intricate mazes of-the law without. consulting some one whose busi ness it is to make those intricacies plain.

A little cop peras water,-or a - few drops of sulphtiric acid, well diluted with water, sprinkled over theloor, will tend to prevent the prevalence of tinsvholesosue smells. and render the atmosphere pure and sweet. Every cellar should .whitewashed throughout, and the windows and doors opened, so that every indication of im purity may be expelled. We think as a - whole that families are not so cleanly with their cellars as they should be, and that the heolth of ill concerned clearly demands.

RECORD YOUR DEEDS,—The attention of perties holding unrecorded Deeds is -directed to the provisions of the Act of Assembly Which require that— '• All deeds and conveeances for real estate in this Commonwealth, shall be recorded in the office (or Recording Deeds in the county where the lands lie, within six MONTHS. after the execu tion of such deeds and conveyance ; and every such deed and conveyance not recorded as aforesaid, shall be -ad judged fraudulent and void against any subsequent purchaser •for a valuable consideration, unless such deeds be re corded before the recording of the deed or conveyance udder ybich such a sub sequent purchaser or mortgages• shall claim," • This is a very important notice, and those holding unrecorded deeds will see the importance of having them recorded witittiot further delay. CONCERNING Doons.—When you go into a neighbor's premises, be sure to leave the doers as you dnd them. If you find a door shut, you may reasonably supplies that your friend wanted it shut, and therefore you have no right to leave it operi; and if you rind it open, no matter how cold the weather is, do you leave it open, for it is but reasonable to suppose that it was left open for some good purpose. And the sane is good for all places, whether they be honoree, - stores, factories, offices, or a hatever they may be. Remember the rule—it bee no exception. Leave tire doors as you find them.. If the owner of a door does not know-how he wants it, how do you know how he wants it? A COOL Cusrommt.— We have heard of cool things, but never anything cooler than the following : The landlord of a hotel in Germantown, called a boarder to him one day, and said :--" Look a' here I I want you to pay your board bill, and you mast.

DON'T )111 ExhrAveciest.--If the Poor House has any terror for you, never buy what you don't need. before Itel pay three cents for a jewaharp, my boy, at , certain whether you cannot make just u pleasant a noise by whistling, for which nature furnishes the machinery. And be- fore you pay fifteen dollars for a figured vest, young man, find out whether your lady love would not be just as glad to see you in a plain one that costs half the money. If she would not, let her crack her own Walnuts, and buy her own clothes. When yon see a young man paying five dollars for a Frenchified toy, that a philosophic Yankee baby palls to pieces in five minutes, the chances are five to one that he'll live long enough to realize how tufty cede there are in a dollar, and if be don't he's pretty sure to bequeath that privilege to his widow. When a man asks you to buy that for which you have no use no matter how cheap it is, don't say yes "until you are sure that some one else wants it in advance." Money burns ii► some folks paste, and makes such a pesky bole. that everything that is pus in drops through, past finding. A VALUABLE WAsa.--Take a clean, water tight ba!rel, or other suitable cuk and put into it a half bushel of , lime. Slack it by pouring water over it, boil. ing hot, and in sufficient quantity to cover it five inches deep, and stir it briskly till thoroughly slacked. When -the slacking has been effected, .dissolve in water and add two pounds of std• phate zinc, and one of common salt. These will cause the wash to harden, And prevent ita cracking, which gives an unseemly appearance to the work. If desirable, a beautiful cream color may be communicated to the wash, by adding three pounds of yellow ochre, or a good pearl or lead color by the addition of lamp, vine or ivory black. For fawn color, add four pounds of umber—Turk. ish or American, the latter is the cheap. er, one pound Indian red and one pound lampblack. For common stone color, add four pounds of raw umber and two puuuds lampblack. This wash may be applied with a common whitewash brush and will be found much superior, both in appearance and durability, to common whitewash. How TO 001181 .
