I never was a favorite— My mother never smiled On me with half the tendbrness That bleste her fairer child : I've seen her hiss icy sister's cheek While fondled on her knee ; I've turned away to hide my tears— There was no kiss fur me. And yet I strove to please, with all My little store of sense ; I strove to please, in infancy i Can rarely give offence ; But when my artless ell Ats met A cord, wig-cello check, I did not date to throw myself In tears upon her neck. llow blessed are the beautiful ! Love watches o'er their birth ; Oh beauty ! in my nursery I learned to know thy worth ; For even there I often felt Forsaken and forlorn; And wished—for others wished it too— Lneyer had been born I I am sure I was afTectionate— But, in my sister's face, There was a look of love that claimed A smile or an embrace. But when I raised my lips, to meet The pressure children prize, None know the feelings in my heart— They spoke not in my eyes. But oh ! that heart too keenly felt he anguish of neglect: I saw my sister's lovely form _ With gems and roses decked: I dill not covet them; but oft, When xvantmily reproved, I envied her the priviledge Of being so beloved. But soon a time of triumph came, A time of o-oirow too— For sickness o'er my sister's form ller venom'd mantle threw The features once so beautiful Now wore the hue of death; And former friends shrank fearfully From her infectious breath. 'Twas then, unwearied, day and night I watched beside her bed, And fearless)) , upon my breast I pilluwed her poor head. She lived !—she loved me for my care ➢ly grief was at an end; I was a lonely being once, But now I HAVE a friend. An IRISH FEMALE TENANT.-" trouble you for my month's rent, Mad am," said a landlord lately to one of his tenants. "It is yet tint ye ax for now?" " Yes, Ma'am, two rooms at two shil lings per each week." " slh, now, can't ye wait a little time ? Sure the like of ye must have plenty of money," replied the woman, looking at the thin, bent form of the landlord with great contempt. " But, my dear woman, the money is due, and—" " Oh, marcher ! it is Bearing me ye are ? au honest married woman, and blessed mother of sivea boys, each big enough to lick the life out of ye. Out of my house, ye munster 1" and, unable to give vent to her indignation, she seized his coat collar, and fairly threw him into the street. The owner intends to let his agent collect the rent of that house hi the future. young bacehlor, who has been appointed deputy-sheriff, was called upon to serve au attachment against a beauti ful young widow. He accordingly called upon her and said : "Madame, I have an attachment for you." The widow blushed, and said she was happy to in form him his attachment was reciproca ted. "You do not understand me : you must proceed to court." "I know it is leap -)ear, sir, but I prefer you would do ine courting." Mrs. p—,this is no time for trilling ; the justice is waiting. 'Tile justice! why, I should prefer a parson." BOW TO BECOME HANDSOME I shall not use baby talk in my lee tures—you attend school where you are taught the meaning and use of Words, and I have no doubt you are also taught to think. The children of this age have a better education than their parents had so early in life, and you would laugh at me were I to employ the language of the nursery, or tell trundle-bed stories merely. I will ask you a few questions, and answer them myself; should I fail to give correct answers, I will hear your criticism. Would you rather be very handsome, very rich, very wise, or very good ? Some of you are handsome— some are rich—some are in a fair way to become wise—all can become good. In this lecture I prepose to show you, in a few plain words, how you all can be handsome ; I may take up the other points in future lectures. You are all more or less interested in this question. You would like to be . liandsome. It is no sin to be beautiful ; it is no sin to wish to be beautiful. The flowers, the "sweet children of the sun," are beauti ful ; the birds are beautiful ; so are the trees, and the clouds, and the stars.— Now, how can John, and Mary, and Willie, and Susan, and Harry, and Kitty, and Robert, and Blanche, and James, and Maud become beautiful ? I shall answer the question first negitively, then positively, You cannot make yourself handsome by merely wearing line clothes. It is not true that " fine feathers make fine birds." Paint, powder, perfumery, oils, never add to the natural beauty of any person. No boy cau make himself handsome by the use of tobacco. A cigar is no ornament. If he smokes, wise people will say—" There is a little fellow with long nine' in his mouth ; a little fire at one end of the cigar, and a little fool at the other." Chewing to bacco is just as bad, and I think worse, for it is filthier. How tobacco juice discolors the teeth, and spoils the breath, and soils whatever it touches ! Were you to see a girl chewing the noxious weed you would say her mouth is not fit to kiss. That which is bad for Mary is not fit for John. Drinking any kind of intoxicating liquors, whether beer, wine, brandy, rum or gin, will not make you handsome. Why, the rum-buds and brandy-blossoms on his cheek appear as though his vest pattern had broken out on his face ; and his eyes, to use a com mon expression, look like two burnt 'Mies in a blanket. His face is like a volcano, because it shows eruptions of the crater. Indulging in spasms of ill-temper will not make you attractive, for the bad passions, when not controlled by reason, plow deep furrows on the face, and leave an hieroglyphic history which reflects discredit / on the face that wears it. Would you be handsome? Remem ber the old proverb, "handsome is that, handsome does." You must have a good, generous heart behind your face in order to make it handsome. You are all like magic lanterns, put handsome pictures into them, and then put a light there, and the scene will bo beautiful. When the human heart is filled with love to all mankind, and is pure and good, the light of goodness will kindle the face with beauty. In order to be really pre possessing, you must be intelligent, for intelligence is a sort of janitor that will hang beautiful pictures on the " walls of memory," and they will be radieut with beauty when the heart is lighted with loveliness. Who would desire to be like a pretty doll, with no soul to look through the beaded eyes, no heart to beat the blood into the cheeks, no feeling to move the cold red lips ? There are at least three kinds of beauty; intellectual, emotional and phy sical ; I might add spiritual, but I am not a preaCher, only a layman ; and shall not dwell on that branch of the subject. I have spoken briefly of the beauty of the heart and the mind, and I have but a few words to say of the beauty of the face and form. Beauty is rare indeed where the health is poor. In order to enjoy good health, you must obey the laws of health. You must eat plain food, drink pure water, sleep on a bard bed, and have plenty of sleep and plenty of air. you must have exercise, either at work or play, and not exhaust your nervous force by too much study, (you like to hear that do you not ?) nor 'rust away your strength by lazy indul gences ; put these two facts together. The plainest food makes the prettiest boys and girls who are cheerful, hopeful and happy, who romp in the meadows and climb the hills, will find their faces red as the wild red rose, and their eyes will shine as though the stars dropped MARIETTA, PA., SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 1861. light into them, and their hearts, I hope, will be like the fountain, splashing the water upon their cheeks when kind words are dropped into them. Let me enforce this remark by repetition. Phy sical beauty and health are as closely joined as the Siamese twins. Rich soups, gravies, spices, and all kinds of luxuries are injurious to health and beauty. You can't ladle roses and stars out of luxurious dishes. Eat plenty of food, but eat it at regular intervals, and let it he " farmer's fare then the night mare will not rise out of your dreams, as the hippopotamus rises out of the Nile, trampling on whatever should be sweet and pleasant. As for sleep, children, you know, need a vast deal of it. They shohld go to bed early; and gongs and bells have no more right to break their repose than guns and gongs have to break iu upon the service of the sanc tuary. IVhen we sleep we are in the arms of the Creator, and he repairs the injury done to the system during the day. He creates us over anew, Daniel, you know was a handsome man ; he refused the rich viands from the king's table, and he was able to translate the lightening written by an armless hand upon the piaster of the palace. Good health and good hearts never fail to insure physical beauty ; and when the intellect kindles the pleasant face, it becomes radieut with loveliness. Now you see that you all can be hand some. keep bad things out of your mouth, put good ones into your heart, and the soul will shine through the skin as though it star had been lighted there. "BETTER LATE THAN NEVER," is the proverb to the benefit of which the Governor is entitled as well as other men. It has seemed Itrange that he so lOng submitted to the charges made against his Administration, but we sup pose he was too busy in more pressing duties to address himself to them se riously. Now that he confesses he has been imposed upon by some of his sub ordinates, it is no more than right that they should be brought to an account, to clear his own skirts in the matter.— The best of men may suffer from agents, in such an emergency as our/State has encountered, innocently, but they • are justly censurable if they continue in power those who do the wrong he de scribes, The money wasted should he refunded if possible, or the corrupt offi cials and speculating extortionists ex posed. Nothing less will make it all right between the Administration, and the soldiers and their friends the people. ATTEMPT TO FIRE THE CAPITAL.—The Harrisburg Telegraph says the watch man at the Capitol, while - going his cus tomery rounds in the basement of the building on Sunday last, discovered in a pile of dry wood a tightly wrapped bun dle of paper, partially consumed and still burning. The combustible material was no doubt placed there by some black-hearted traitor in our midst, with a view of burning the Capital with all its valuable contents ; and his fiendish purpose would have been accomplished, but for the timely discovery of Mr. Luker, the watchman. In these perilous times all the entrances to the Capitol *should be closely guarded day and night, and no strangers or suspicious person permitted to enter the building. 0A n amphibious Shakspearean youth, wishing to take lessons of Tom Sayers, asked him, " what he considered the best posture of defence?" Tom eyed him, and scratching his head, said, " Why, keep a civil tongue in your head." lor" Doctor," said a man to Aberne thy, "My daughter had a fit,'and contin ued for half an hour without sense or knowledge." " Oh," replied the doctor, "never mind that; many people continue so all their lives," " Madam said a snarling son of ./Escu lapius, "if woman were admitted to Paradise, their tongues would make it a purgatory." " And some physicians, if allowed to practice there," retorted the lady, " would soon make it a desert." kW' Charles Lamb once said to a bro ther whist player, who was a band more clever than clean, and who bad enough in him to stand the joke : 4.

Lady Mary Wortly Montague cut off her scapegrace of a son with a guinea. When Sheridan threatened to cut off his eldest born with a shilling, the quiet retort was, " Couldn't you give it to me at once, if you happen to have such a thing about you ?" Hazlitt mentions an habitual liar, who consistent to the last, employed the few remaining days he had to live after being condemned by the doctors, in making a will, by which he bequeathed large estates in different parts of Eng land! money in the funds, Tich jewels, rings, and all kinds of value:l)les, to his , old freiuds and acquaintances, who not knowing how far the force of nature could go, were not for some time con vinced that all this fairy wealth had never an existence anywhere but in the idle coinage of his brain, whose whims and projects were no more. A wealthy nobleman hit upon a still more culpable device for securing pos mous ignominy. He gave ono lady of rank a legacy, " bY' way of compensation for the injury he feared he bad done her fair fame ;" a large sum to the daughter of annother, a married woman, "from a strong conviction that he was the fath er;" and so on through half a dozen more items of the sort, each leveled at the reputation of some one from whom he had suffered a repulse ; the whole being nullified (without being erased) by a codicil. A widow, occupying, a large house in a fashionable quarter in London, sent for a wealthy solicitor to make her will, by which she disposed of between £5O, 000 and £GO,OOO. He proposed soon after, was accepted, and found himself the happy husband of a penniless ad venturess. Shortly after the death of Mr. Ashton Smith, George Carter, one of his hunts men sought an interview with an old friend of the ?.family, and with much earnestness made the following proposi tion : "I hope, sir, when I and Jack Pricker and Will Brice (the whips) die, we may be laid alongside of our master in the mausoleum, with Ham Ashley and Paul Potter,'(two hunters,) and three or four couple of his favorite hounds, in order that we may be all ready to start again in the next world." " And thinks;admittod to that equal sky, His faithful dog shall bear him company." Kellerman left his heart to be buried the battle-field of Almy, where the first repulse was sustained by the Allies. He had better have selected Marengo, where a charge of heavy cavalry, led by him without orders, retrieved the for tunes of the day. Mademoiselle Joly, a French actress Of the latter part of the eighteenth cen tury,having passed some agreeable hours on a hill near Falaise. called La Roche- Saint-Quentin, left directions in her will that her remains should be carried to this solitary hill, which was so dear ito her heart. Her wishes were obeyed, and the bill has ever since been called Mont Joly.—Quarterly L'eview. tpi- • A worthy clergyman was roused from his sleep at five o'clock in 93(5 morning by loud talking at the side o a fish-pond in his grounds His reverenbe put his night capped head out of the window and saw three men by the 'side of his pond.

" Have you," said a young lady, entering a music store in which we were standing, leaning over the counter, and addressing the young man, "have you 'a heart that loves me only?'" "Yes, miss," was the reply, " and here is a health to thee, Mary.' " Mary took the songs, and was leaving the store, when suddenly she returned, " I forgot ! I want one sweet kiss before we part.'

From the Boston Traveller.] OLD FALLACIES BROKEN DOWN THE RESISTLESS PROGRESS OF TRUTH. "Populus 'cult tlecipi."—" The people love to be deceived," might have been a true saying in the days of Horace' but it is not so in this enlightend age. The promptitude with which the sick, in all parts of the world, have abandoned the old palliative mode of medical treatment, for the expulsory system of Professor Holloway proves that the people can dis tinguish betwen mere suppression and radical cure, and that neither the pres tige of professional position, nor the sen tentious dogmatism of the ritualists of the schools, can blind them to the won derful results of a new practice, which never makes the mistake of killing the patient insted of the disease. In the United States, as in all other regions of the earth, Holloway's remedies have popularized themselves. It is true that the victims of disease have been invited through the press to give them a trial ; but is equally true that every trial has made new proselytes, and that every proselyte thus obtained has made a hun dred more. They have become the household medicines of nearly every family. Incredible as such a statement may seem, and unparalleled as such a re sult undoubtedly is, they are verified, we understand, by the books of Professor Holloway's establishment in New York. In our crowed cities, where, at certain seasons, the malaria exhaled by an al most vertical sun, is the prolific source of deadly epidemics; in the new settle ments of the West, where fever and ague, dysentery, and other diseases common to that region, prostrate the population of whole district's at once ; and in the swamps and bayous of the South, the Pills have saved the, lives of thousands, while in cases of scrofula and cutaneous disease, the Ointment is considered by all classes, and in all sections, indispen sable to a thorough cure. These are facts, undenied and unchallenged, and who will be hardy enough to question the value of remedies fortified by such credentials ? r Some years ago, it is said, a party was traveling in a stage through the Jer sey pines, and saw in the distance what they supposed was the frame of a log house.

The chief clerk sent it to the dead letter department, with the candid confession that no such a.man lived in Chicago.
