DAILY. EVENING STAR.
REMEMBER.

I remember, remember
When just began to creep,
How 1 crawled straight into mischief
How wouldn't go to sleep
How pulrd the table linen
With its contents on the floor;
How my mother spanked me for it,
Till my tender flesh was sore.
l remember, remember
When used to 60 to school,
How kept a watchful eye on
The schoolmaster's rod and rule;
How I cut up monkey shines
Every time his back was turned
How I sometimes used to catch it,
When I'd not my lesson learned.
l remember, remember,
When I went hooking peaches,
How dog come out and caught me
By the surplus of my breeches;
How hung on to the bushes
How the dog hung fast to me,
Till my crying brought man who
Flogg'd me most 'orful-E'
remember, remember,
When the girls I used to kiss,
How | thought it rather funny,
But it gave no extra bliss:
Now it seizes me with rapture,
Now it fills my soul with joy;
Yet with manhoods blissful pleasure,
Would that was still a boy.

dition to our maritime hands, from the estab-
tablishment of Channel Fleet.
The following is the communication re-
ferred to:
In secluded part of the wood of Bo-
lougne, at place called Madria, whilome
the residence of Lamartine, is house sur
rounded by trees, and the windows of which
are never opened, except sometimes at dawn,
as if to let in fresh air. This house, all day,
and in many nights, has the air of being un-
inhabited; but oftentimes at night there
comes about suspicious looking characters,
who take up their post in the thickets, and
then about twelve or one up comes several
carriages, with the blinds close down; the
porte cochere is opened mysteriously, they
drive in, and the door closes behind them.
What is this place?
1t is the residence of Virginie, la sabo
tierre.
This, for many persons-indeed, nearly
all-is no explanation. But let us enter, one
evening last week, and perhaps what may
be going on may enlighten us.
In an apartment, sumptuously furnished,
is grand supper laid out, resplendent with
plate and brilliant with lights, and around
sit half dozen men and as many woman,
who, while slipping their champagne, are
talking animatedly Of conquest and empire,
of aggression and rapine.

ROMANTIC LovER.-A romantic story is
related of an Englishman, who sought the
hand of very charming lady with whom
he was passionately in love, but who con-
stantly refused him. As he had reason to
believe she loved him, he entreated 70
know the reason why she refused her con-
sent to their union. The lady, subdued by
his constancy, told him that her only mo-
tive for refusing him was, that having by
an accident lost leg, it had been replaced
by a wooden one, and she feared that
sooner or later this circumstance would
chill his affection for her. This she de-
clared to be her only motive The lover
protested that this would never make him
change his love, but she persisted in refus-
ing to marry him. Fired with love, and
determined that nething should obstruct
his design, he, under the pretence of going
a distant voyage, left his lady and hastened
to Paris, where he had one of his own legs
amputed. When he recovered, he returned
to London, went to the lady, and told her
that there was now no obstacle to their
union, for that he was equally mutilated as
herself: The lady, conquered by such a
proof of affection, at last consented to marry
him.

LIQUID GLUE.-A strong liquid glue, that
will keep for years without changing, may
be made by placing in glazed vessel
quart of water and about three pounds of
hard glue. This is to be melted over slow
fire in glue pot and stirred up occasionally.
When all the glue is melted drop in grad
ually small quantity of nitric acid, when
effervescence will take place. The vessel
is then to be taken off and allowed to cool
LIQUID glue made in this manner has been
kept for more than two years in an uncork-
ed bottle without any change.

Crime and Dissipation In London.

An exchange paper finds in the National
Temperance Chronicle the following Stats.
tics of vice in London, and adds in a second
column an estimate for New York City:

London and New York, the So:om and

dumb pupil in Paris:
"Doth God reason?"
He replied:
"To reason is to hesitate, to doubt to en-

things, knows all things; therefore, God
doth not reason.

as one Of the very strangest political events
on record. Examine it, fellow-citizens, for
one moment. MIR. Bronson having appointed

true and faithful to the constitution during
their whole lives. Few or none OF tlrem
have ever been traitors to their party or TO

Night before last Rev. Mr.. McCarer was

search but could fad nothing wrong, and
again retired. He was however, soon awak
ened again by his wife who had heard the
same alarming noise again. Mr.. McCarer
again made thorough search, and finally
traced the noise to the chimney. A close ex-
animation convinced him that some live ami.
NAL was there, which he supposed to be an
owl or some wild animal. He threw an

MAIL ROUTE FROM CHARLESTON, Ill. 4,
GRANVILLE, THENCE Uia New HARMONY, ND
TO EvASsvILLE.-This is one of the most
important, aud the most called f,r mail lines
in this part Of the State, and as there are at
present petitions out for signatures at this
place, and in fact at all tire points on the
route, we hope the people will exert them
selves in circulating the petitions and that
all may sign them. For the necessity Of
such Mail route must be required by all.
The route proposed in the petitions for
signatures is from GRANVILLE ris Albion,
thence to Parkcrs and Fairview, 20 Oiney in
RichlaBd county; where it crosses the Ohio
and Mississippi railroad, thence by st. Mary
to Newton in Jasper county; thence to
Greenup in Cumberland county; thence to
Charleston on the A lton and Terrc Haute
raiIrosd, making the total distance 81, miles,
and to be carried by coaches or hacks tri-
weekly. 'r.t sae 49, ens
We hope that immediate attention may be
given it, and that the line may be established,
but we are In favor and do hope, further. that
the route may be extended to New Harmo-
ny, Ind, there to connect with the Evans
vile tri-week y mail to that point; also with
the mail from Mount Vernon, Ind, which is
also tri-weekly.a us is- -r -f.
By this connection the people on the pro-
posed route will have direct communication
with both North and Souih-where by the
present arrangement all mail matter from Ev-
ansvile or other points on the Ohio river
above the mouth OF the Wabash, has to go
the roundabout course Of Viucennes. The
distance from this point to New Harmony is
busten miles making The entire route from
Charleston, ILL.,, to New Harmony, Ind. one
hundred and seven miles. la 3 .t.r
Therefore it is to be hoped that all will
sign the petitions, and that they be forwarded
to headquarters at an early day.
