LEXINGTON'. BX OUVXB flTOlU, BOCMES. Slowly tli mist o'er the meadow u creeping, Bright on the dewv buds glistened the sun When from tua coach, while fcia children sleepinjr, JCoae the bold rebel and ahouldered his gun. Waving her golden Tail Over the ailent dale, . Blithe looked the morning on cottage and spire ; Hushed was his parting sigh. While from his noble ere flashed the last aparkle o liberty's fire. Ob the smooth green where the fresh leaf is spring ing. Calmly the first-born of glory hare met ; Hark ! the death-volley around them is ringing I Look ; with their life-blood the young grass is wet Faint is the feeble breath. Murmuring low In death. Tell to our sons bow their fathers have died Nerveless the iron hand. Raised for its native land, lies by the weapon that gleams at its side. Over the hillsides the wide knell is tolling. From their far hamlets the yeomanry como ; Jut through the storm-cloud the thunder burst rolling. Circles the beat of the mustering drum. Fast on the soldier's path, Darken the waves of wrath. Long have they gath red and loud shall thev fall ; Ked glares the musket's Sash. " Sharp rings the rifle's crash, Slazing and clanging from thicket and wall. Gayly the plume of the horseman was dancing, Sever to shadow his cold brow again ; Proudly at morning the war steed was prancing. Retting and panting he droops on the rein ; Pale la the lip of scorn, Voiceless the trumpet horn. Torn is the silken-fringed red cross on high ; Many belted breast low on the turf shall rest Ere the dark hunters the herd have passed by. 8now-girdled crags where the hoarse wind is raving, Kocks where the weary floods - murmur and waU, Wilds where the fern by the furrow is waving, Beeled with the e choes that rode on the gale ; Far as the tempest thrills Over the darkened hills. Par as the sunshine stresms over the plain. Roused by the tyrant band, - ' Woke all the mighty land, Girded for battle, from mountain to main. Green be the graves where her martyrs are lying ! Shroudless and tnmbless thev sunk to their rest, While o'er their aehes the starry fold flying Wraps the proud eagle they roused from his nest. Borne on her Northern pine, Long o'er the foaming brine, Spread her broad banner to storm and to sun ; Heaven keep her ever free, Wide as o'er land and sea, Floats the fair emblem her heroes have won ! THE TYIFE'S RESOLUTION. " Yes, it mnat be done. I am resolved upon it," said the young wife, as she clasped her slender fingers. "I must be earef hi in carrying out my resolution, for nothing else can save my husband from the fate of other members of the family and oh ! such a fate !" she con tinued, burying her face in her hands, as if she would shutout the remembrance of something terrible. " Can it be that I am destined to become the wife of a drunkard t" she exclaimed, after a pause. Is this pleasant home," she added, ookiag around the tastefully furnished apartment, "to be exchanged for the wretched dwelling of an inebriate, and oome oh! no, no! Father in Heaven, avert this threatening calamity! Send suffering and sorrow, if Thou seest they are needed, t purify our souls from the dross of earth, but spare us, oh, God, from sin and degradation. They surely cannot be necessary ; then grant me to avert them," and rising from her luxuri ous couch, she passed from her parlor into an elegant dining-room beyond. " My husband will be displeased at first, and his father and brothers will ridicule me, and call me mean: but my husband is dearer to me than even my own repu tation, and I must endure even his anger for the sake of saving him;" and with trembling hands, but unflinching will, the lovely bride removed the decanters of choice liquors from the sideboard, and preparing some lemonade most careiuliv, she placed it in their stead beside the crystal goblets. Though she retired to her chamber and spent the interval until her husband's return in earnest prayer for strength to bear ridicule, and, it might be angry reproach, her heart mis gave her when she heard his step on the gravel-walk and that he had company with him, and as she descended to meet him in her accustomed place, her trem bling limbs almost refused to bear their light burden. " Wife, this is my friend, Mr. Orms bury," said the proud husband. "Orms- bury, this is Mrs. K , the loveliest, gentlest wife in all the land." The visitor seemed struck with the beauty of "the young wife's face, but re plied gayly, "You might think so now, because your honeymoon is scarcely over. Wait a bit, my friend, until her wishes come into collision, and then you may change the adjective to a more signifi cant one." "Nay, my veriest whims are law to her, and I am not afraid of her setting up her wishes in opposition to mine." ' Joxeept lor our own good, said the wife, softly; but she only said aloud, " Your friend will stay and take a social supper with us." Not to-night, I thank you." " Do give us that pleasure." " I should like to afford myself that pleasure, but, unhappily, a business en gagement prevents." " You will at least take some refresh ments. My dear, order in some cake and wine." 'Nothing for me, indeed." . " Ah ! you must taste of my cake in order to judge of my housewifery ; only a good wife has a right to fulfill your prognostication of swaying it over her husband," and, laughing merrily, she left the room. Surely that salver borne by the servant who had returned with her was sufficiently tempting ; and those rich eakes and basket of choice fruit, and that silver pitcher of lemonade ought to have satisfied any reasonable man ; but the husband looked blank at the absence of wine, and something was said in a low tone to the wife, who answered : " I prepared this expressly for you ; will you not take it for my sake? Surely, this warm evening, it is more refreshing than wine." While the lady was speaking to her guest, the host sent the servant on some errand to the dining-room, and when she returned with the answer," There is none," a flush mounted to his brow, and he . muttered, ''None there I . stupid thing! r but no sooner had the door closed upon their visitor, than he assured himself by personal observation that she told the truth. , " Where on earth are the decanters anil why was not my friend allowed to refresh himself with wine in my house ?" he exclaimed hastily. "Have we sud denly become bankrupt that we must use such stinted hospitality?" "There is no stinting here," replied the lady, " and I am sure none of your friends need complain when they have such wholesome) lemonade' offered them instead of the dangerous wine-cup." "Wholesome! dangerous! What emperance stuff is this ? Another such freak as this, and I shall get the name which is new to us, that of being too Btingy to provide wine. None of our family were ever known to be sparing of it before." "Far better if they had," said the wife unconsciously , wria ging her hands. " Q Jam o ("this omission sprang , from no momentary freak, no woman's caprice ; but from earnest resolution to " -'What?",;-,. " Try and save my husband," she added meekly but fervently. " To save me ! You are vastly kind. From what?" "From poor Fred's fate," she said faintly, blinded by the tears that could not be held back. " I thank you for the compliment. So you think me in danger of becoming such a miserable sot ; but I hope I have too much pride if nothing else, to keep me from degrading myself thus." " At your age, he did not think the same ? A few years ago, did he not look as fair as you, did he not think himself as strong I And what is he now where is his manliness and beauty of which he was so proud? His face haunted me all night, and I dreamed of his broken hearted wife and his poor children, blighted in their youth by their own parent. O James ! the Bible says truly, 'wine is a mocker,' and so long as we tamper with the poison, we have no right to say, we are safe.' Those only are secure who obey the exhortation to ' touch not, taste not, handle not ;' and I have resolved, after earnest and prayer ful deliberation, never to be guilty of offering that insidious foe to my friends, much less to the dearest of all friends, Vn'm in whom all my life is bound up." " You don't mean to say that you wish to exclude wine from our dinner-table and frem our social parties ?" " Believing it to be dangerous, I do." " Their you would force your husband to visit the drinking-saloon or the tavern for the refreshment which you deny him at home." " Does my husband mean to insinuate that he is already such a slave to the ex citement of liquors that he can not do without them?" Angrily he started to and fro, mutter-, ing " fanatic," and some other words we will not repeat. The wife retired to her chamber weep ing, but not disheartened. She felt that she was right ; and while she realized her own weakness, she trusted in Him who said, "My Grace is sufficient for thee." . The month she had spent in the home of her husband had opened her eyes fearfully to the danger of sleeping on the exhilarating wine-cup. She had often heard in her girlhood of the evils of in temperance, but she fancied they existed only among the lower classes, the dregs of society. Until she became an inmate of that family, she dreamed not that the highly educated, the refined, degraded themselves to the level of the brute by first sipping rosy wine from shining liquor-cups or sparkling crystal goblets. Free, generous livers they were called, exercising a wnoie-soulea Hospitality to all, while none who came within the circle could fail to be fascinated, with their charming manners. Alas! the poor young wife saw that they were only genial when under the influence of ex citement, and even those lovely girls, her new sisters, sought to be lively and fascinating. When she saw their beauti ful eyes sparkle with unwonted brilliancy, the bloom grow deeper, and heard the flashes of wit, she turned away in sad ness, saying, " Alas ! alas ! what lovely victims !" The father could dispose of bottle after bottle without losin g his con trol, but not so with his children. Per sons occasionally wondered that their ani mal spirits should lead them to such ex cess ; but there were times when she could not help but knowing whi t ailed those polite, refined young men and wo men. On festive occasions, the wife began to watch her husband anxiously. Sometimes he poured oat and drank with a sort of reckless air, and then the unsteadiness of his hand or the gleam of his eye would startle her ; and once, but only once, she shrank from his ardent kiss, feeling that he was inflated with wine rather than pure affection. She tried to forget that time, or to fancy it a dream, but she could not. The name of the oldest son, Frederick, was seldom mentioned by any of the family, and the day previous to the com mencement of this sketch, she under stood the reason why. Then he came reeling along into her home, more beast than man. She shuddered as she looked upon that bloated, besotted face. She could not pollute her hand by placing it within his, much less in addressing the degraded be ing could her lips frame the holy word "brother." No wonder the spectacle haunted her dreams that night, as she would fancy herself at the death-bed of that once lovely woman, whose heart he had broken, and hear her whisper, " Your husband is following in the footsteps of mine ; oh ! stor him !" Not long after the wife's resolution was formed, the young couple wished to give a dinner-party to all their relatives, and as it was the first in their own house, they wished to convey very pleasant ideas of their hospitality. Then came the contention which the lady had forseen and the bitter opposition of her husband to carry out the reso lution she had formed to banish liquor from their board. In vain she told him of the delicious coffee which should sup ply its place ; he persisted that she should not thus bring upon him the name of a niggard. And though she told him that upon her, rather than upon him, should au imputations rest, though she pleaded in the gentlest manner, she had need of all the strength she had so earnestly im plored from on high. For a time, there was a serious estrange ment between them, and his family, tak ing sides with him, told him that she wished to usurp too much authority over him as the head of the house, while they sneered openly at her "fanaticism," her " meanness," her wan of " hospitality." But she prayed without ceasing, and God at length opened his eyes to the danger of trifling with that which had caused his brother's ruin. With his consent, liquor was regarded only as "medicine," and while the wife exerted herself to have a suppy of good things in the house, both united in giving so cordial a wel come to their guests, that those who en joyed their hospitality soon ceased to notice the absence of wine. ', By degrees, others followed the exam ple of the young wife, and gradually such a reformation took place in the town that in afew years all the " first families had banished the beverage from their sideboards and dinner-tables. Her husband is now the only survivor of all his father's family. While he feels that each one fills a drunkard's grave, he turns to his wife, now no longer young, " but beautiful in his eyes, and says, ' Such would have been my fate but for you. I stood on the brink of the preci pice, but I knew not my danger until you revealed it to me," While she says with burst of gratitude, " Not unto me; but unto thy name, O Lord, be all the praise."

Apoplexy. A very interesting article in the Popu lar Science Monthly for April we con dense for the benefit of our readers, regretting that space cannot be givem to the whole: If there is any one disease that the diligent brain-worker a little past middle life has reason to fear it is apoplexy. Although statistical evidence is wanting, the experience of the physician confirms the popular belief that more of our dis tinguished men are carried off by this disease or by one of its sequels, paraly sis, than by any other cause. There are no vessels carrying blood to and from the various organs of the body which so frequently rupture as those in the brain. The causes that produce this result are the fatty degeneracy of the middle arte rial coat of the cerebral vessels, whereby their elastic strength is much impaired, the great irregularity of blood distribu tion to the contents of the cranium and the little support which the pulpy sub stance of the brain gives to the weak ened vessels imbedded in it. The chief causes which produce this structural change are the habitual use of ardent spirits and tobacco. Every one is aware that the leading effects of these agents on the body are such as Show that the functions of the nervous system are more affected than any other, and the physi cian also knows that when symptoms of disorder arise from their use they are such as denote that the nervous system is almost alone implicated. ! Ardent spirits also tend to produce an overf ullness of the cerebral vessels, and to affect the functions of the brain in a manner which strangely blend stupidity, brightness and exhilaration. Effects so unnatural and so frequently ending in disease, influence injuriously the nutri tion of the nervous centers. And to in terfere with the nutrition of any part of the body is simply to impair the fife and power of its structure. The evidences of this impairment may not be felt im mediately. In fact the evidences of im pairment by any bad habit are seldom apparent during the prime of youthful vigor. But the mischief is going on, nevertheless, and the organ upon which the weight of infringement fails will be the one that will first manifest signs of disease, and through which death will make its conquest over the body. During sleep the brain is almost bloodless; its substance seems to shrink into a lifeless mass; but the moment that wakef nines occurs it swells out, gets red, its arterie8 and veins becoming distended with a great tide of blood. No other part of the body is subject to such drouths and floods in its circulation. This inequality is still further increased by severe mind labor. The ardent student is well aware that deep thought heats the head and cools the feet. The first apoplectic stroke, as a rule, is not a severe one ; a little blood escapes by a tiny pent, the shock to tike system slows the action of the heart, the escape ot blood ceases, and nature heals the part torm and re moves the blood-clot by absorption. Then, as the blood vessels in the brain grow weaker, under a greater tension than ordinary, a larger rent is made allowing the blood to escape in hopeless profusion. Napoleon stood in great dread of this disease, and was told by his medical adviser, "Sire, tihe first at tack is a warning, the second a summons, the third a summons to execution." What is to be done by those who in herit a tendency to apoplexy or whose habits of life predispose them to this disease 1 -Clearly to diminish .and keep the tension on these vessels br the blood at a low rate all the time. A prudent hre-engH&eer, when his water hose are old and weakr would work them at a low pressure. Men must carry ott the same simple Mechanical principle when there is reason to believe that the vessels of the brain are eettine weak and brittle. A stroke of apoplexy occurs frequently after eating a full meal. As soon as old age puts a decided check on .the amount of daily -exercise, it is time to put a decided check on the amount f food daily consumed. The kind of food best adapted to keep down superfluous blood is the vegetable. The true rule is not to eat to entire satiety. Even those of younger years and seden tary habits will feel lighter and better in every way bv leavinc- the table a little hungry. . All strong liquors are oinsuited to those with an apoplectic tendency lor reasons already given. Altogether Too Realistic Says the New York Sun : The best, most practical joke of All Fool's day, was perpetrated in Booth's Theater in the celebrated humble-pie scene of the fifth act of "Henry V.," in which Fluellen makes Pistol eat the leek. The prop erty leek" ordinarily used is wood, with green muslin leaves and a piece of peeled apple at the end. Some practical jokist entered the property man s room and substituted a fresh onion in the place of the apple (in honor of All Fool s Day). Thome who plays Fluellen,took the leek, innocently handed it to Bishop (Pistol), after knocking him down, and made his speech with the usual gusto ending with: " Bite, I pray you. It is good for your green wound and bloody cockscomb." Poor Bishop, after the first bite, played his part with a pathos that moves the au dience to the widest pitch of merriment, little did they or Fluellen dream how real and painful were the tears Pistol was shedding, as he ejaculated. " I eat I eat I swear," adding in an undertone to Thorne : "Damn it! Thorne 1 this is no joke, this is a real leek ! Thome could hardly utter the next words : " Eat I pray you ! Will you have more sauce to your leek ? There is not enough leek to swear by!" Poor Bishop, still weeping and boiling with rage. Went on 5 " Quiet thy cud gel? Thou dost see I eat." Thorne, choking with laughter, finished his part of the dialogue with difficulty, and amid shouts of laughter made his ex it. Fortunately he goes off on one side and Pistol on the other. - When Bishop sprang up and roared out as he rushed off : " All hell shall stir for this J" he brought down the house, behind the scenes as well as before the curtain.

Matrimonial Slaver j The Estimate of a California Wife. The following unique card appears in the ban Jose (UaL.) fatrxot: All persons are hereby warned not to trust Mary E. Aborns (my wife), as she has left my bed and board without just cause or provocation, and I will not pay any om contracted by her irom and alter mis aaxe. iIobhabobsb. San Jose, February 6th, 1875. Mrs. Aborns now comes to the front and makes the following statement in re ply to the above ''warning" byhernon- credinng liege lord: The above notice now appears daily in the San Jose Patriot. Why am I thus published to the world! And what hu man being on earth has the right to do it? Let us look at the facts. I have been the wife of John Aborns about ten years, and lived with him during the whole of the time the prime of my life. That makes 3,650 days. During that time I have cooked about 10,000 meals of victuals, set the table as many times, cleared it off and washed the dishes. During those ten years I have spent be tween ten and fifteen thousand hours over a red-hot cooking stove, both in summer and winter. I have cleared up and swept his house for him over ten thousand times. During that ten years I have borne to him six children, five of them now living, the youngest two and a half years old. Besides the pains and anx ieties incident to child-birth (which every mother knows) what steps, cares and troubles (to say nothing of sickness and anxious thoughts for my children) it has cost me to bring them up, it is impossible for me to say ; every mother knows it better than she can possibly tell it. In addition to that I have made all their clothing (besides my own), and during that time I have made clothing and done sewing for others for money, which went into the community funds ; that is, as I understand it, all the property made by the husband and wife is community property, but in re ality belongs ' to the husband, and it is called in law " community property," to take off the sharp edge of injustice. More than that, during those ten years I have milked, on a average, three cows twice a day, which will make about 7,000 milkings, besides taking care of the milk and making butter from it. I have, dar ing the whole of that time, attended to the poultry, and often have assisted Mr. Aborns in loading hay, sewing sacks, and even cleaning out stables. Now, I have drawn the picture very mildly. I have made allowance for my sickness, when I have had help, something after the fashion that a farmer would hire a horse if his own was sick and unable to work. I had nothing when I went there, and have nothing at the end of those ten years of servitude. I have lived, it is true, and was moderately iurmsuea witn clothing. This is all for my labor. What men is there in the world that would do the work that I have done for the same compensation S I make this statement not out of any feeling of re venge to Mr. Aborns, for he lias only done what hundreds of cfiiiers heve done. In many respects he is a good man, in- dustriom, and like hundreds yea, thou- I sands faonest with every one except his j own faa&ily. I (Sioose to live with him no longer; my reasons are my own, and : 1 say again what right tons he to impair my credit by publishing me ? In the name off all that is just I solemnly pro test against it. Masv E. Aborns. CoMisoN sense reasons why Dn. Wals--er's Gaxifornm Vinegar Betters should be used z 1st.
