SABBATH SONG Sweet is the time of spring', When nature's charms appear; The birds with ceaseless pleasure sing, And hail the opening year; But sweeter far the spring, Of wisdom and of grace, , [King, When children bless and liraiso their Who loves the youthful race. Sweet is the dawn of day, When light just streaks the sky ; When shades and darkness pass away, And morning's beams are nigh ; But sweeter far the dawn Of piety in youth ; When doubt and darkness are withdrawn Before the light of truth. Come join our Sabbath song, On this the holy day ; We know that angel harps above Unite to' swell the lay: And in the house above, Not made with human hand, We'll sing at last the Sabbath song, In one unbroken band ! Saviour, do thou appear, Our sabbath school to bless; Give to our youthful hearts thy fear, And perfect righteousness. Call us each one by name, Receive each child as thine; And 0, regard our youthful claim, With benefits divine. THE SABBATH BELL The bells have rung, I cannot stay ; • I'll haste to school without delay ; I would be there to sing and pray, And seek God's blessing through the day These happy hours will soon be o'er, When we shall meet in school no more; But eon earth we do God's will, In heaven above - we'll praise him still. Oh that the Lord would gently move Upon my heart, that I may love His holy word and heavenly ways, And learn to sing ou high his praise ! A incur Pu.oz.—ln Liverpool re cently, while a lion-tamer named Mac como was going through his performance with Bengal tigers, at the Menagerie, a tigress caught his hand in her mouth.— Planting his knee in the small of the tigress's back, and pressing her against the bars of the cage, then siezing her lower jaw with the right hand, he held her powerless to do more than retain the left band in her mouth. So cool was Maccomo in this trying position that lookers ou thought it part of the per formance; but when he, called to one of the keepers, "She has got my hand fast in her mouth ; get a bar of hot iron, the truth of his dangerous, position flashed through the minds of those present, and created the greatest excitement—one lady fainted away, others running from the, painful sight. Four or five minutes elapsed before the iron was ready, dur ing which time Maccomo stood as a piece of statuary; not a quiver of lip to show the pain he was enduring. When ready, the hot iron was applied quickly and surely by one of the keepers to one of the large teeth in the tigress's upper jaw, and, as though she had been electrified, her mouth sprang open, Idaccomo, quick as lightning, drew his hand away, caught hold of a thick stick, Aruck the animal a terrific blow on the skull, brought :her down, and forced her to finish her per formance before he left the cage. When Maccomo came out of the cage, his bleed ing hand testified to the frightful strug gle which had been going on between man and beast. ta-Mr. Thaddeus Hyatt publishes a card, defending himself from the charges made against him by individuals in Law rence, K. T., of having exaggerated the amount of suffering in the Territory.— He says that his assailants are moved to their efforts because of jealousy of a rival city, and of a Senatorial candidate, and on account of a stupid idea that to tell the whole truth about this if ansas fam ine will destroy land values and trade, and prevent immigration to the new State. IE3 - While the boys were out at "re cess," recently, at one of the village schools in South Adams, Itlass., a gen tleman riding by stopped and inquired of a bright looking lad, "What they did in there ?" The urchin looked up, scan ning his interrogator's face a moment, and then with a wicked leer and knowing wink replied, "They tan hides, sir l" That boy had probably received his share of smart in the aforesaid school house. MARIETTA, PA., SATITRDAY, MARCH 16, 1861. KENTUCKY LOOMING up : Kentucky seems to be prominently on the carpet just now,'as it has given birth to many of the characters figuring in the drama of the second American Revolution.— President Davis was born in Todd coun ty, Kentucky, in 1808. President. Lin coln was born in Hardin county, in 1809. Vice President Breckinridge was born in Fayette county, in 1821. Senator Crittenden, the great pacificator was born in Woodford county, in 1786. Jas. Guthrie, the Chairman on Compromise Resolutions in the. Peace Conference,, was born in Nelson county, in 1795. Joseph 11olt,ithe warlike Secretary of War, is a native of Breckinridge county. Major Anderson was born in Kentucky, in 1805. General Barney is also a Ken tuckian, and Cassius M. Clay, both of whom are somewhat connected with the current crisis. gir A lady writes from Washington that Mrs. Lincoln is somewhat young looking for the wife of a man of 52. She is richly dressed, wearing a rose-colored silk, and is otherwise handsomely deco rated. She has a very fair complexion, dark hair and a pleasant eye and voice. Mrs. Hamlin is quite, young--far below thirty—a lady of small figure, and like . the President's wife, apparently highly accomplished. erHon. Horatio King, late Post master General, entered the Department over which .he presided, when twen, ty-five or six years of age, with .an ap pointment as copying clerk, and a salary, of $l,OOO per annum. He was called to. the First Assistant Postmaster General, ship on the death of Gen. Robbie. He began his public career as condubter of a newspaper at Paris, Me., having Hon., Hannibal Hamlin, now Vice President elect, as his partner in the business, farTw9 hundyed_ thousand sords of pine wood, are annually brought to the New York market, of whichl fifty thou sand cords are used by kindling-wood companies. In the transportation of this materiab. about a hundred schooners are employed. The number has fallen off somewhat lately through a contrac tion of the business. Of this immense supply of pine wood, New Jersey fur nishes one-eighth, and Virginia the re mainder. 110-A plain, hard-fisted old man called upon Gov. Curtin, of Pennsylvania,,the other day. The Governor, supposing, of course, that the man wanted a place somewhere, expressed his appreciation of his past services, and said he was sorry he could not reward him with an office. "But I don't want an office," said • the old man, "I merely called to see if ,you didn't want, to buy a good dog I" c...r"Electing" Postmasters is becom ing quite common in the towns of Ohio and Indiana. The Republicans vote for the respective candidates, and the one receiving the largest number Of votes applies for the place without fear of op position. The plan whether good or bad will at all events save the President and Postmaster General a vast amount of trouble and vexation. The other evening a lady entered a store in New York, for the purpose of making some purchases, and while flier° trod upon a match, which ignited, and the flames communicatidg to her light under-clothes, they were soon on fire.= She thought she was over a furnace.— Some one screamed and a dog ran V, her. She was slightly burned and had a ner vous attack that nearly killed her. • trA_ woman named Margaret prett, convicted of forgery and larceny, at Har risburg, escaped from prison a day or two since, by dressing herself in the bonnet, veil, and shawl of the mother-in law of the jailor, and rapping at fie jail door just like the lady she represented, The jailor - hardly looked at her as he let her out. She is still at liberty, arA somewhat novel wedding has oc cared at the Church of the Holy Trinity, in Brooklyn, on Tuesday evening, March 5. Ten married sisters appeared with their ten husbands, and a small army of children, to celebrate the marriage of the eleventh sister: Cozzens' hotel, at West Point, a well-known and popular Summer resort, was on Friday of last week burnt to the ground together with the out-buildings.

Morde cai, orCharleston, South Carolina, pre sented the empire with $lO,OOO, •to aid in organizing and arming a new Govern ment. The act was trumpeted aloud as one of great liberality.and.patriotism.-- The Knoxville Whig, however, gives some additional particulars, not much to the credit of the "patriot." Arordecai is a. Wholesale Druggist in Charleston. He visited• New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, just before he did this act, and represented to his cred itors that he *as insolvent, and settled wrth:them by payibg 50 cents on a dol lar!`Such acts make Secession a glori ous code of morals ! It is in • keeping with the mo . rals of the Southern leaders, with whom it is patriotic to rob the Gov ernment, and religious to repudiate hon est debts, we have the proof. *FAlrs.'R,yves, the niece of George has obtained a recognition of her legitimacy from the - matrimonial causes court in London, and thereby comes into possession of the revenues of the Duchy of Lancaster, amounting to £1,004,643 sterling, and also £105,520 as bequeSts from the royal family, and is "Princess of Cumberland and Duchess of Lancas ter, as the- grand-daughter and lineal representative, in -the female line, of his late Royal Highness, Henry Frederick, Duke of Cumberland, who died instate in the year 1790." Like-the• Gaines and Bonaparte cases, this hinged on a ques tion.of legitimacy. 0 0-A grand tri-centennial anniversary of the birthdaY of Shakspeare is proposed to be held in England, in April, 1864. An enthusiastic writer Proposes that a temple be dedicated to him on that day, in London, to be filled, with,the choicest editions of his works, and adorned with statues•of the great authors and artists who have illustrated his genins.

A Ger man, living near by, supposing the new comer would like congenial company, 013'0 morning put liis own cat, much to the disgust•of the German.

A FIEND IN PETTICOATS.-It is said of Mrs. Mitchell, now under prrest at New port, It. 1., for murdering her husband, that a few days before the murder she floured a man with a bottle, and she told the officer whO arrested:her for the mur der, if he would give her time to kill two more men, he might hang her, to the nearest tree.

Ter3a)_---CDlae, Dollar a -v-ear THE COOLEST TBING ON RECORD As General Scott's army was march ing triumphantly into the city of Mexico, a procession of monks emerged from the gate of a convent situated:on .the emi nence at the right, and advanced, with slow and measured tread until they met the army at right angles. The guide or leader of the processon was a venerable priest whose hair was whitened with the frost of many winters. He held in both hands a contribution ,box, upon 'which there was a lighted candle, and when within a few feet of the army,the proces sion halted. As: the army opropeeded,; many a true believer in,SL Patrick.drop:t ped some small coin or other, into the, old priest's box.. And, when it was •ob served that a soldier was searching in : his pockets for something to bestow, the\ old priest would step ;ferward.and hold; his box to receive the donation:. :Ulti mately there came along a, tall, gaunt,, limber-sided, grander-looking Irankaei-. who, on seeing the poor: priest, thrust his hands into the very depths of ;hie ; breeches pockets, as if in search for a dime, or something of the kind. The, priest, observing this movement, advano4 ed, as usual, while Jonathan, holding forth a greasy-looking roll of palm, coin, menced unfolding-.:it.
