I have plighted my woman's affections, I have given my all in all, And the flowers of a daily contentment Renew their sweet lives ere they fall, And yet like an instrument precious, That playeth an olden tune, My heart in the midst of its blessings, Goes back to a day in June To a day when beneath the ffranches, I stood by a silent stream, And saw on its bosom an image As one seeth a face in a dream. I would not resign his devotion, Xo, not for a heart that lives ! Nor change one jot my condition For the change that condition gives, I should mourn not more for another, Nor more for another rejoice, Than now when I weep at his absence, Or welcome his step and his voice. And yet, like an instrument precious, That playeth an olden tune, My heart in the midst of its blessings.

Punca's Pocket-Book contains the follow ing from the pen of a single woman of the world 'If a man wipes Lis feet on the door "mat before coming into the room, you may be sure he will make a good domestic husband. If a man in snuffing the candles puts them out, you may be fcure he will make a stupid husband. If a man puts his handkerchief ou his knees while taking his tea, you may be sure that he will be a prudent husband. In the same way, al ways mistrust the man who will not take the last piece of toast, but prefers waiting for the next warm batch ; it is not unlikely he will make a greedy, gelhsii husband, with whom you will enjoy no ' brown' at dinner, no crust at tea, no peace whatever at home. The man, in dears, who wears goloshes, and is careful about wrapping iumseli up before venturing into the night air, not unfrequently makes a good inva lid husband, that mostly stops at home, and is easily comforted with slops. The man who watches the kettle, and prevents its boiling over, yvVA not fail, yxy dears, in his married state, in exercising the same care in always keeping the pot boiling. The man who doesn't taL'O tea, ill treats the cat, takes snuff, and stands with his back to tiie fire, is a brute whom I would not advise you, rny dears, to many upon any consideration, either for love or money, but most decidedly not for love. But the man who, when the tea is over, is discovered to have had none, is sure to make the best husband. Patience like his deserves being rewarded with the best of wives and the best of mothers-in-law. My dears, when you meet with such a man, do your utmost to marry him. In the sever est' winter ho would not mind going to bed first" No Place Like IIo'.lE. Towards the close of the war, when it was becoming evident that the authority of the United States was about to be restored in the Southern States, there was a general, cry among the rebel leaders in favor of emi gration to countries where the Govern ments were less tyrannical. Many prom inent Southerners went to Mexico ; many went to Europe ; some sought freedom in South America. ' But their success in for eign lands was not flattering, and one by one they Lave been returning to their na tive country, satisfied, apparently, that they can be happier and more prosperous here, despite their political misfortunes, than anywhere else. The Mexican ad venturers are nearly all back again, and pronounce themselves in favor of making the best of circumstances. They have dis covered in their absence that the United States Government, bad as they professed ly believed it, is still to be preferred to any other they can find. What is some what remarkable i-. that those who were the most fierce and uncompromising ene mies of the Government, are now the most contented and energetic under the new regime. The people of the South should profit by the example of the leaders they followed so faithfully in war, and settle down to work at home, for there is no other country where their prospects will be half so good, though they must expect a season of trouble and embarrassment before the return of actual prosperity. A glance at the condition and history of the countries were southerners were so san guine of finding happiness, will convince them, cf the infinite superiority of their own Government in strength, order, jus tice and all that civilization has taught them to desire and need. The despotism they feared so much exists only in their imagination, and they will do wisely to acknowledge their mistake by remain ing under the Government they professed to hate so inveterately. "Words Fitly Spokex. The London jSi'-ir tells the British Government that it will commit a great crime if it permits the condemned lemans to be hanged, for, says that free-spoken and truthful journal, the Southern States of America, with whom the English Government sympathized, had not one iota of the cause to rebel which the Irish have, and have had at any time within the last half century ! Ireland may have half justice sometime if other Gov ernments will do as this has done protest against misrule there but as the great, crowning evil is landlordism, we can scarcely see how the people are to rid of it without successful revolution. o Has anybody a nickle penny of 185S 1 The Washington Star says there is an act ive search for them, and that they are considered worth twenty-five cents each, because they have been almost wholly withdrawn from circulation, and will be very valuable by and by in completing collections. The penny in question will be remembered as bearing on one lace the representation of a buzzard instead of an eagle. .

Picture Hugs The tufted rugs having landscapes and animals upon them, are made by the Crossleys at Halifax, in Yorkshire, Eng land. A single rug would cost a deal of money to pattern. It is multiplication that makes the article cheap. This is the manner in which rugs are manufactured. A girl has before her a design which instructs her c-niy in the way she is to place the woolen threads in an oblong box, but gives her no idea of the picture to be developed. Every color has its thread placed by rule. In a long course of time, the high box is filled, and her work is done. The pile of woolen threads is then condensed by hydrostatic pressure to the degree necessary to bring out the picture, as you look at it endwise. This work is all done in the upper story of the manufactory. It is . then taken to the ground floor, in front of a razor-wheel thirty feet in diameter. Alongside is a vat of boiling India rubber ; by the side of which are piled the coarse hempen cloths which from the back of our fancy rugs. Of these, one at a time is dipped into the vat and gets a superficial coating of the rubber. Quickly this is tightly plastered against the end of the wooly picture block aud the sharp wheels cuts off a very thin slice, which adheres firmly to the hemx)ea base. The rug is finished". Several hundred rugs are thus made from one pattern ; just "as a certain kind of candy stick cut into many sections, al ways presents the same word to view. The original idea was Sir John Cross ley, His best carpet weaver, named Thorn; annoyed the foreman of his shop by not being punctual in his attendace at his loom. This being ascribed to bad habits, he was discharged. After a time the weaver presented himself at the count ing room witl an awkward looking bundle, and it was only by determined pertinacity that he obtained an audience with Sir John ; for he would make known his busi ness to no other personi. Gaining an in terview, he said : "I have an invention, Sir John, lnavhap vou would like to look at it V 4i Certainly, Thorn ; let ine see it." ''Nay, but Master, if it should be a great thing for you, what would you do for me ' Sir John had got many useful hints from this man, and he had faith that there was something in the invention. " Well, Thorn; w hat would you wish me to do for you, if I like your invention ?'? ' Master, I don't want to be put out of my cottage ; I want always to say there." ''Certainly ; what next. Would yon," said Thorn, "give a hun dred nouuds a year as long as Betsy and Hive?" ' Yes ; what else ?" Thorn began to take courage. ''Betsy said she would like a keg of aie always ia the house." ' Well i" " And some "uacky to smoke." ' Anything more?" Thorn took a hi! eh at his breeches and scratched his head to think what else a man could want. ' I would like to be restored to my loom, and work just when I like, and not be turned off." So the bargain was made and conclud ed. On inspection. Sir John saw that the 'X-iatent rug maker was a prize. He ac cepted it and had the papers drawn and executed at once. This invention has made more than half a million of pounds ; and Sir John not only lived up to his agreement, but he has educated and handsomely-provided for the inventor's children. As for Thorn and Betsy, no amount of money could add to their nap p mess. Their cottage is ever full of friends, drinking ale and smoking ; aud they themselves are free to work or get boozy, aS they please. Remeijy for SsA-StCKXEss. The latest invention for battling with the dreaded mal tie mcr appears likely to achieve a genu ine success, and to p rove a real boon to those who are obliged to take sea voyages. The invention in question is the discovery of an American gentleman named Simp son, and is nothing more or less than an ordinary chair, with moveable arms, which can be easily compressed so as to keep the body immoveable. The chair is then lashed to any desirable part of the vessel, the person using the chair occupying it for some time before any motion is felt, and.after remaining in it about five hours, the most susceptible traveler may safely venture to walk about as unconcerned as an old salt. A series of experiments with Simpson's sea-chair have recently been made on board steam packets plying be tween Dover and Calais, Liverpool and Glasgow, and Liverpool and Douglas, the time for trying" the chair being chosen when the weather was very rough. In each case, several persons, all peculiarly liable to sea-sickness, tried the chairs with the most satisfactory results, and in the voyage to Glasgow the lengthiest aud the roughest of the lot one gentleman, who never before went to sea ia the mildest weather without being sick, was enabled, after sitting five hours in -the chair, to walk about without qualms' of fear. Out of tue Party. The Oscaloosa Herald tells the following amusing story of a life-long Democrat in that vicinity, who was for years a slave to drink, but for twenty months past had been a radical k-temperancc man. He was sitting m his office conversing with several of his friends, when the door opened, aud Mr. D., a rigid old Democrat, came in. The usual com pliments of the day passed, when the lat ter gave Mr. II. a slight nudge and winked him out to the back door, when cautiously peering around to see that no one was ob serving them, he drew from the deep re cesses of his pocket a pint flask, which bore the appearance of having been sev eral times visited, and asked him to drink. " No," replied II., " I do not drink." " You art a liar !" responded D. "I pledge you my word?7 returned II., " that I have "not drank a drop for over twenty months." " Is that so V " It is ; and I am now a member of the Good Templar Lodge in this place." For a moment a look of blank astonish ment came over the countenance of the old Democrat, which gave way to one cf anguish, as he said, " Good God ! have you left the Democratic party?" The Pioneer woolen factory Francisco have increased their capital i stock feom ?o00.000 to S 1"9.Q00. llie Xtw Island. A week or two since we made mention of the reported discovery of a new island in the Pacific ocean. The Alta says : There is now a probability of its exist ence and locality being determined bv parties who are negotiating the charter of a vessel Xo go in search of the same. From a gentleman who has been trading on the Pacific ocean since 1810, we learn that years ago this land was known by him to exist. He had seen land birds in about the latitude and longitude named for the island, and an old sea dog, who sailed on the Pacific at the same time, re ported that he had sailed a whole day along the coa;t of an island, and had seen it a second time, but after that he gave it a wide berth, as he was not inclined to find a new land by piling his craft up on the rocks. Its existence has been vouched for by several parties, and lying as it does in the track of the China steamers on the home ward voyage, it will, if found, be a valua ble coaling station for those vessels. The fisheries in its bounds will probably be found valuable, to say nothing of its worth to our people in view of its being a con venient calling place on voyages from dis tant ports on the Pacific to our new Prus sian Territory. If the.Governmcnt does not take interest enough in the matter to send a vessel in search of the same, private enterprise will do it, and when found will be taken pos session of in the name of the United States. The first party discovering this land may also find at the same time valuable cod fisheries, seal, sea otter, sea lion, etc. A gentleman familiar with the fogs in that region at certain seasons of the year, says he has no doubt but that several vessels which have been bound north and never heard, from, have been cast away on its shores. Over a year since the schooner Pride of the West sailed for the Okhotsh sea, in the track of which this island laid, but she was never heard from. It is bare ly possible that some of the crews of these vessels may .bo found on this island, or, if not that, then remains of wrecks, which may clear up the mystery which surrounds the disappearance of some four or more vessels which have gone out on distant voyages but never returned. -o Legal Ql ih. During the trial of a case a pause occurred, during which the judge, counsel, and clients indulged in nonsense appropriate to the occasion. At last, one of the visitors propounded the following conundrum : " Why does a lawyer enter on, continue in, and at last abandon his profession?" No one could give a plaus ible reason for all this, 'except the judge, who said that he entered on the legal pro fession with an enthusiastic desire to en force justice oa all sides ; continued in it to make a fortune ; and finally abandoned it In disgust. This was voted" good, but it was not an answer to the conundrum ; and the suitor being called upon, said that the reason a lawyer enters upon his profession is, that he may "get on :' that he contin ues in it to get honor, and finally aban dons it to eet honest. Completed ix two Volumes. Count Bismarck recently presented a faithful but poor secretary with a portfolio bound like a book, in which was deposited five thou sand thalers. On meeting his secretary next day, the count asked him if he had perused the volume. " Yes, your highness.'-' said the secretary, ' and I am so captivated by its contents that I am wait ing the appearance of the second volume with feelings of the greatest interest." The Count smiled, but said nothing. A few days afterward the secretary received a second portfolio, bound and filled like the first, and on the title page of winch wp.s the sentence. " This work is complete ia two volumes." California Mai:jle. The Sutter county Sentinel is informed that a lode of marble has been discovered, seven miles distant from Colfax. The marble is purely white, admnsofa superior polish, and is pro nounced equal to the finest Italian. The lode is situated only two miles from the Pacific Railroad, and, if proven to be as extensive as is anticipated, will be an im mense fortune to the lucky owners. Thus little by little new channels of wealth are opened to the Pacific coast, affording re munerative fields of employment to labor, and adding to the industrial wealth of the nation. A capital story is told of a New Yorker who, last winter, oa being presented at the Tuileries, kindly waived all that eti quette which often embarrasses sovereigns and said to the Emperor: "You have a first rate chance to see all the new fash ions here, don't you ?" The latter, feel ing, doubtless, like the ancient centurion, umvorthy that such a guest should come under his roof again, declined the repeti tion of the interview. An old gentlemen (thought to be a mem ber of the legislature from the " rural districts") went into Trinity Church, at Boston, one Sunday afternoon, recently, while Rev. Mr. Gallandet was repeating the service to the deaf mutes by signs, etc. After attentively watching the pro ceedings for a few moments, he rose from his seat, took his hat and cane, and start ed for the door and, as he passed out shook reproachfully at the sexton, and mutter ed, "I can't stand them ritual tantrums, nohow." A Great City. The expenditures cf the municipal corporation known as the city of New York for 18G0 amounted to over $21,000,000, and its income was about the same. The citv debt is about equal to one year's income. That is a very trifling debt, and one which most cities, in their proportion, would like to claim. It is less than the debt of Portland, or even our own corporation. Female Suffrage. The question of fe male suffrage must have advanced in Eng land far more than it has in the United States, for on a vote taken on that subject in the British House of Commons, there was a majority of only 123 against it out of a House composed of over C50 mem bers. A contemporary wishing to state that the Dean of Chichest has the ffth vol ume of the " Lives of the Bishope." etc., I in press, says that " he has the filthy vol- ume almost ready." Misprint we sup i pose. Tall Tiger Stories. Miss Florence Moryatt is contributing some stories to an English magazine of her remembrances of Singapore, in which she tells some queer yarns. Here is one of thera : While I stayed in Penang.alarge tigress swam on shore, perfectly exhausted," and had her brains knocked out as she lay panting on the beach. In Singapore, the man-eating" tigers arc so numerous that natives are said to be carried off at the rate of a man a day, and so used have they become to such accidents, that when a Chinese cooley sees a tiger trotting after him, with an evident view to dining, he quietly sits down and resigns himself to his fate. But I must find my way back to the Bandypoor jungle. A very distressing accident had occur red at the bungalow of that name, situa ted about five and twenty miles from the foot of the Neligherry hill's, shortly before our arrival, by which the ' lion. Captain H , aide-de-camp to the Governor of Madras, lost his life. It appeared that Captain II- , while staying at the bungalow, on a journey to or from the hills, had heard that a large tiger, which had done great mischief m the neighborhood, was still lurking in the surrounding jungle. This was grand news for a sportsman, and therefore he lost no time ia sallying forth to meet him, and ac cording to the statements of the natives who accompanied him,, found himself at no great distance from his place of start ing, face to face with this monarch of the Indian forests. The tiger was on one side of a " nullah," or small stream, and Cap tain II on the other, and it was after ward ascertained that he had fired on the fierce brute thirteen times before it sprang with amazing strength across the area' which divided them. Amazing, when it is considered that Captain II was in general a most successful shot. Seizing upon the unfortunate man before he had time to elude the attack, the brute crushed him so frightfully about the vitals, that he was carried back to the bungalow to die. A doctor was procured as soon as it was possible to do so, but nothing could save Ins life. -The tiger, after having accom plished his murderous attack, must have fallen back exhausted and died himself, as he was found on the same spot with the thirteen shots in his carcass. The strength of these creatures in their dying spring is supposed to be something fabulous. A gentleman, somewhere about this part of the country, had shot a tiger. The natives, who had not dared to go within haif of the brute while living, be came extremely courageous now that it was dead, and surrounded the carcass in their usual manner, beating it with sticks, and subjecting it io all manner of indigni ties, while they danced about it and sung a song, which, interpreted, meant that they were the masters and the tiger was the servant, and that they were not in the least afraid of him, and he would never rise up again to hurt them. But, unfor tunately for the prophecy, the gentleman's personal attendant having ventured, in his fearlessness, too near the prostrate body, the apparently lifeless animal suddenly raised himself, and having, with one blow of his massive paws, laid the presumptu ous boaster dead at his feet, sunk down again, and this time exoired in real earnest. The Advantages of Clover. G nhith. of Iona, Michigan , in answer to S. T. Bots ford, Cfc.. who values ten words relating to what a man has done more than a volume of what he can do, says : Fourteen years ago 1 came to this county and purchased the land on which I now live ; it was already worn out, although ii had been cultivated but a few years. Clover at that time was hardly known in this region, but I cbtaineiLseed as soon as possible, believing that I could prove that such land could be made productive. I sowed plaster on my clover, and the result was astonishing. My crops, while I was preparing the ground for clover, hardly paid the expense of cultivation ; but as soon as I began to plow under clover, my crops began to grow better and better to such an extent that I felt perfectly satisfied with my returns. My wheat croris soon run up "from ten bushels per acre to thirty and even forty bushels, and my corn from twenty-five to forty and fifty bushels per acre. My circumstances rapidly improved.; I bought more land and continued to sow everything to clover, new land as vell as old, always sowing plaster at about the rate of oiie hundred barrels to the acre. I commenced with one hundred and sixty acres and have increased the amount to six hundred. Last year, though it was a bad one, my wheat crop amounted to eleven hundred bushels from fifty acres, sold for $2 50, but soon went up to $3. My corn to nine hundred bushels from eighteen acres; my wool to 1,4.10 pounds, from two hundred and seventy-five sheep, sold for Cli cents; aud other things in proportion. Now I ascribe my success to the use of clover and plaster, accompanied of course with industry and perseverance, and my experience is that of hundreds of. others in this region of country. I have seen manv erroneous statements as to the amount both of clover seed and of plaster besc to the acre. One writer stated in the Tribune some time since, that clay land needed about . one-third more seed than sandy land. The reverse is true here. The same writer said that from two to four hundred pounds of plaster should be ap plied per acre. I have found that when 1 sow clover at about the rate of two bush els to ten acres, mixed with timotny seed, it is suiiicient even on our sandy lands, and I believe that one hundred pounas of plaster will do as much good as a greater quantity : fifty pounds frequently causes clover to'fall down before it gets m blos som. I think the best treatment of clover ground, in preparing it for wheat, is to let the clover get up about to blossoming, and ''then trample it down with sneep beiore plowing. A Valedictory.

Unnaway Horse. 0 The Fat Contributor throws off the fol lowing remarks upon runaway horses, and while we question the possibility of hi having had any experience in that line, because of the utter Inability of any steod to run away with his too solid flesh, wo give his contribution as embodying soma wise suggestions : It is as natural for some horses to ran away as it is for a Kentucky girl, when she wants to get married, and it isn't al ways the result of native viciousness ia the one ease, any more than it is in the other. Fact is, "horses like to run they were built for it and when there is noth ing particular to scare them into it, tjgy will often get up a scare on their own hook," jnst for the fun of the thing. They have various ways of running away. Some run away on a mn, some on a gallop, and some on a trot When they run on a walk, it is generally on the sidewalk. Some run away under the saddle, some in harness, and many run away lo nothing but a mere shadow. Some will only run for money thersQ will only run for home. Running away is a habit usually acquired when the horso is young, although we have known horses whose early davs were free from sucl viciousness take it up m their old age. O wnen they are very liable to " run it m the ground." So we have seen men wh; were models of propriety througlL-youth aud middle age, put on a frisky way with gray hairs, drop sedateness and sobriety, and take io " runn'ng all night." A runaway is very exciting, particularly to the individual who is being run away with. There is an exhilarating sense of being jerked about without touching any thing hi particular ; a sense of seeing men scatter before you to get out of the way ; a sense of hearing them yell "whoa!" be hind you as you dash on ; a sense of stop ping suddenly and then you haven't got any more sense. The expedients that have been resorted to for breaking a horse of this habit are numerous. Whipping has been tried with only partial success. He has been hitched by the side of another horse, and run away wiftilhe other horse. Anchors havo been rigged to the wagon tode cast out when the horse started to run, stopping almost everything but the horse. O A man whom we once knew, claimed that kindness was all that was required to cure any horse of running, no matter how long it had run. "Only prove to your horse that you have confidence in him," said he, and the native generosity of his disposition wifl overcome all desire to run away." Some of his neighbors being incredulous about it, brought him a horse that would run away three hundred and sixty-five times and six hours in one year, if hehad an opportunity. They wanted him to try his system on him, which he accordingly did. He hitched him to a buggy, convers ing pleasantly upon every-day topics, meanwhi'e, and then to show tr?e quadru ped what confidence he had, in him, goCia to drive without any reins. " Here, gentlemen," said he, " I am about to give you an illustration of the effects which kindness . and a display of confidence will have upon the horse. Once convince him that you are lis friend, and that you confide in hiin, and he will respond "with the gratitude of a child. Yoa will see that at a word from me ho will do as I require." Then in mild, nothing tones, tha? fairly overflowed with kindness to animals he b?gged the privilege of seeingdiiui move. O And he did. The horse gave a bound, struck into a run, and was out of sight in a minute. Nothing has been seen of the horse or his trainer since. "We never knew a horse yet that had the habit of running away securely fastened upon him and once will fasten it securn enough to ever be satisfactorily .cured except by death. Men who have doubted q this, and given the horse a second trial, have had the .trial go against them with costs. Morning newspapers are now called night blooming serials.
