THE SICK ODD FELL oW

BY MISS REBECCA 7. DE GROVE.
Upon his fevered couch he lay,
From home and kindred far away,
a stranger;-have We felt the power
OF those sad words in sorrows hour,
When no kind hand was near,
To sooth the brow oppressed with care,
In suffering all our griefs to share,
Or wipe that falling tear?
Thus felt that loely one, as now
He pressed his parcked and aching brow,
Now sought, but sought, alas! in vain,
To still the thoughts that DER his brain
Their gloo my shadows flung,
Todic--thouGh that were sad, in truth,
Mid life, and hope, and sunny youth,
Not this his heart, SO wrung;
But death alone!--nature must dread
The anguish OF dying bed,
And though all-powerless they may prove
The strongest, deepest, earthly love
10 check the tyrant sway,
Ifgente sympathy be nigh
To catch the last expiring sigh,
Twill cheer that dreary way.
But list!--a voice of love is heard,
And "brother" speaks in each kind word;
Like woman's soothing tenderness,
1t lulls each anxions fear to rest,
And bids the wanderer know (power
That Friendship, Love, and Truth have
To reach cen sorrows darkest hour,
And DER it radiance throw.

Adjdtant General of The military force Of
The Stale. Elated with his unexpected and
unsolicited promotion, our new officer gave
n "blow out" TO some Of his confidential
friends, and the next day proct eded TO pay
his respects TO his predecessor, Gen. ID Her.
The General asked TO see the new officers
commission, which was promptly placed
In his hands, and upon looking ut it the
General burst into fit Of laughter and
Folnled 10 lis seal, which was stamped with
dollar!
The unfortunate subject Of The joke hen
perceived the full force Of the di ule he
Ind incurred, and selling his pseudo COM

wag has the satisfaction Of knowing II at

hat the incest scrutiny of lie most c. m
Petent engraver, printer, ATTEST or bankers
clerk can detect no diflsrance between tie
originals, with which hey are cenversant,
and the copies. 1t is said that in this way

declares that lie has seen a page Of a
French newspaper duplicated in this way
in ten minules; and the London Art Uuion
has published 1000 or 5000 copies Of u
print of the Savior, taken by this process
and il is said That there is no more differ
ence between the copies and the original
than between two impress ons taken lro rn
the same plate. lfthis be true, and the
invention be made public, il will revotu-
tIon'Ee the whole system OF business. All
evidences of debt on paper. all receipts, in
short every species of written or printed
document connected with pecuniary trans
notions will be vaIueless, and the detection
OF forgery by comparison with the or
iginnl, impossible. The ,eecroiype pro-
cess. as regards engravings, has already
effected results something similar TO those
claimed Tor this new invention; but it has
been found impossible 10 mpart that sharp

or three persons besides themselves. They
gradually enlarged their business. and in

md gave employment TO two hundred pei

Female enterprise and Failure.

The story Of female trader who sat
out many years ago from Philadelphia, and
acquired fortune by her industry and tact
in the South, is told in the Times OF tina,
city. "There's no such word as fall"
according TO Bulwer; but this fair traficker
failed ecently, nevertheless, md for large
amount. The Times says:
"The failure Of Miss -, of Missis-
sippi, falls heavily on the merchants here,
10 whom she owes 100000. Several
houses are in for from 81 900 10 SIS, 900.
The commercial enterprise and career OF
this woman have been most extraordinary.
Hur credit was undoub,ed for years. She
has mace her regular visits to this market,
ard taken OFT large amounts of every des-
criptIon Of merchandise, and always paid
up punctually. She was estimated to be
yer, rich. She is woman of masculine
proportions, and when she used 10 attend
the auction sales 10 make her purcha, es
would crack and enjoy her joke with any
man, and was always the occasion Of
great deal Of mirth and joli,y. She was
famous, every time she left this city, for
taking off with her half dozen of pretty
6''S, as CleGkS III neF great western Da-
zaar, whom she could not keep in her en-
ploy much longer than season, as they
we're certain 10 get married off 10 rich
Souihcrners; SO that if girl wanted 10
vell settled in the South, she had only 10
enter the service Of Lydia -. Blu,
with al her tact in marrying Others, she
could no, succeed in getting of herself. -
Many rich Jokes arc told Of her. The fol
lowing has had vide circulation:-Thal
she took fancy TO enc of her neighbors,
and Inviting him into her place Of business,
pat into his hands roll of bank notes, and
told him 10 counl than. lie did so the
re,ut was 100000 in bills Of one thou
sard dollars each. She told him they were
his. provided he would take her with them;
hu, the bait did no; answer. In fact Lay
dia vas rather hard subject. Her totai
liabilities nre $3.50, 900, and what dividends
the creditors are likely 10 receive. you can
