johnny Sands.

A man whose name was Johnny Sands,
Had married Betty Hague;
Who, though she brought him cash and lands
Yet proved shocking pllgne.
-~s---------- -,-.ye a rrUIsIng vile,
Full Of caprice and within
lie said that he was tired Of life
And she was tired of him.
Saws he then will drown myself,
The river runs below;
Said she, pray do, you silly elf,
Iwish'd it long ago.
Said he, upon the brink upright
I'll stand run down the hill,
And push me in with all your might
Said she, 'my love will
For fear that courage should lack,
And thy to save my life,
Pray tie my hands behind my back
/ WILL replied his wife.
She tied them fast, as you may think,
Aud when securely done,
Now 90 she cried, upon the brink,
And l'll prepare to run.
All down the hill, his tender bride
Now ran with all her force
To push him in-he stepped aside,
And she fell in Of course.
There, splashing struggling, like fish,
20, help me, Johnny Sands "
Il can't my dear, though much wish,
For you have tied my hands

The Hymns my Mother Sung:

There are to me no hymns more sweet
Than those my mother sung,
When joyously around her feet
Her little children chung.
The baby in her cradle slept.
My mother sang the while;
What wonder if there softly crert
Across his lips smile !?
And /, sick and lsnguid boy
Oppressed with many pains
OFT felt quiet sense of joy
Come with her soothing sta aims.
The stealing tear mine eye bedims,
My heat is running Ger
The music OF a mothers hymns
Shall cheer me here no more

The BENEFITS OF NEwsPAPERs.-On this subject
the Salem Gazette thus truthfuly dscourses: ''The
existence of newspapers is one Of the most remarka
bic features Of the difference between ancient and
modern times. These sheets of intelligence now
form an element in the condition of nations, which
the ancients scarcely possessed in embryo They
render the official duties of statesmen much more
difficult than they formerly were but they also rem
der the condition of nations much more safe and Sc
cure; for no measure can become law without the
merits and dement's of it being fully discussed by
hepress, aud undets.ocdb the people, For the want
of these useful monitors the ancents were like peo-
pie wandering in the dark timid because of their
ignorance, and apt be overset by the slightest
alarm. But by the aid of newspapers, we are en-
abled to know exactly the state of affairs in every
part Of our own country, and all over the world as
well, and to be 1pared, in measure, for any
coming event whatever. Newspapers are the brief
chronicles Of the times, and have a wonderful In
fuence in guiding and directing the public mind on
all public questions. In short
"They hold the mirror up to nature

PETRIFAcTIoN.--A writer in the New Hampshire
Patriot, from Iowa Territory, relates curious
cidents of perifcation in that SOIL There is some
thing in the nature of the soil which petrfcs many
substances, such Shells wood, bark fish, feathers
Insects and reptiles. | have them of all these
various kinds-some very natural fish and insects and
saw complete wing with all the feathers. There
very singular instance of perifaction discov-
cred yesterday in this town. The citizens have built
cemetery and have removed many of their friends
from the old graveyard to it. Many of the collins
have been found to be unusually heavy, even of small
children. Yesterday, in attempting to remove Mrs
Evans who had been dead about five years. they found
it difficult TO get the coffin out of the grave and curl
oSty excited them open it, and they found the body
in state of petrifaction The nose and some parts Of
the face decayed but the neck and the wrinkles
in the flesh were perfectly natural The flesh on one
of the legs had the appearance Of what Is usually
termed goose fish. Petrifaction was not entirely
complete except on the exterior did not see the
body, but l saw sumo pieces taken from it. They
had the appearance of limestone. So much for the
marvellous. But singular it may be, it is true.

BREACH OF PRoMlsE.-In the january Circuit for the

were continued with but little inermission, till lS42
Promise of marriage both IN prose and IN verse; were
proved against the defendant Some time IN 1913 the
plaintiff became mother, and then the defendant de-
serted her. 1t was attempted on the part OF defence
to Justify the breach of contract on account OF the
plaintiffs abandoned character. but the Witnesses who
swore to this impeached by others brought Tor
ward bv the prosecution The doubtful scale OF JUS

if by letter, produced on the part OF the defence
written by the girl 10 the lover, reproying hlm with
his infidety and closing with the words, You are
now free.' The jury, not regarding this as an hon
orable scharge,' after two hours absence brought

There is love in early life
Which shuns parades and worldly strife,
And seeks, condemned the pfincely dome,
In humble cot, happy home.
More gorgeous than the pOmp Of kings,
The coral and the peaa it brings,
And all the glory Of tle skies,
In living misunderstanding eyes.
The roses bloom it yields 10 view,
And lends its fragrance with its hne;
The gardening smile, the balmy kiss,
With looks Of fondness, thoughts Of bliss,
Feelings that scarce know worldly heaven,
And dreams Of ecstacy and heaven,
Lies dull anxieiics above:
Such, such is woman's early love
There is a love Of elder growth,
Less dazzling than the love Of youth,
Where gentle Looks and anxious care
Aspire the husbands toll to share;
Which seeks its solare and employ,
Providing for her ehdien Joy;
Which owns no happiness complete
Till they are healthy, clean, aud neat;
Which strives TO spare the humble sore,
And make that little something more;
Love, which, the frugal table spread,
A blessing bTeathes on daily bread;
Which, scorning inery and plde,
Exults in comforts self-denied;
And teaches man tits vain 10 roam
For pleasure To compare with home
This Gains, as that the heart could move;
And this is woman's noon-day love.
There is love in later stage,
When pain and sickness grow on age,
When he, so active once, and gay,
Perceives approach his closing day;
When failing strength and toltering limb,
And sunken cheek and eye grows dim,
And falterihg voice and vsage wan,
Have TO spectre changed the man;
Then, love, by the fond wife possessed,
Too vast, tooigrand, to be expressed,
Delights assiduously 20 ply,
And soothes with tender sympathy
Consoles the mourneI for the past.
And fondly soothes him to the last.
This love, in hours the most lorloIn,
SuIpasses that of youths bright morn
Different from that which marked life's prime,
Though not so brilliant, more sublime;
This love, from heaven derived its biith,
ConfeSses no alloy of earth;
1t lifts the sufferer from his wo,
Above the cares of things below,
And points to brighter scenes above:
And this is woman's final love.

ROMANTIC INcIDENT-The New York papers an
nounce the marriage Of MIR. Thomas MowItt to
Charlotte Conroy under circumstances truly romantic
and in illustration of the marveousness of truth
fiction.
We shall condense as briefly as practicable the in
teresting particulars of this singular marriage. Mr.
Mowitt is highly respectable shoemaker OF New
York. and In the capacity of % boss had employed
numerous workmen amongst whom was Mr.. John
Pesing, who by his fathuness industry and sobriety,
had ingratatcd himself into his good graces that
three years since he took him into copartnershP
and carried on the business In the name of Mowltt
Pelsing. From this period until sometime last sum-
mer nothing occurred disturb the relations existing
between the partners. Every thing went on SWIM
mingly and they became constant friends and COM
panions, and boarded together at the same house.
Thus their affairs went on till day they were sub
penaed on Coroners jury about to be held over the
body of that had been taken out of the river at
one of the docks. The verdict of the jury SIM
ply found drowned" The jury being dismissed,
Mr.. Nowiu turned round to look for his friend and
fellow Juror who had been at his side until that mo-
ment but was now gone. MIR. Nj. proceeded to his
boarding house, thence the store, to look for his
partner but he had not been to either, nor did he re-
turn /; and nothing could be heard OF or from him.
He gave up all further enquiries thinking there must
have been some mysterious connection between blr.
pelsing and the man that was found drowned.
So matters rested until certain day not long SINCE
when lady called Mowtt, at his store, and asked
for Mr. Pelsing. She was told Tie particulars OF this
story.
"And has he not been here siDce!' she anxiouly
incurred. mot since," was the reply, a. know he
has returned the lady. He has not. assure you
at least not TO my knowledge, replied MIR. Mowitt
But am positive" replied the lady. What pooof
have you of it % inquired Mr.. Mowitt. The best
in the world, replied the lady, for am here and Mr.
pesing and myself are one and the same person =
The question then was, whether Mr.. Pelsng was a
gentleman or lady. and it turned out she was la
DIV and her name was Charlotte Conroy. Haso appear
ed that the drowned man had been the husband OF Mrs
Conrov that he had lived with her IN Philadelphia for
about two years; that he too shoemaker; but his
habits were SO disspaied she constrained to leave
him. and Disgusting herself in mems clothes went to
New York, sought employment with MIR. Bewitt, as
above stated. OF her success as Journeyman and
partner we faveheen already informed.
The finale of the affair was, that MIR. NJ requested
Mrs. c. TO make his house her home, and finding he
loved Mrs c. better even than Mr.. Pesing, propose
ed partnership for Life, which was ratified by their
becoming man and wife in few days afterwards
This is perhaps the first instance ON record wherein
wife performed the Office Of Coroner's juryman on
the body Of her husband.
