Written for the Record.


Martha / well remember thee,
My friend, Of years gone by,
And wonder if you think Of me,
Or ever cast sigh
OF recollection for the past,
OF times w've spent together,
Of youth which now is ieeting fast,
OF Death--which parts forever.
I'm Far awry and long t may be
L CT return again,
But yet I'll always think of thee,
And cherish still thy name.
For now | find as life wanes on,
No friendship firm in truth,
AS that in days forever gone,
The joyous days of youth. J.B.

a complaint of a patron that he did not

NUMBER. 8

To GET RID OF FLIEs.-The Rural
New Yorker, has the following recipe
for getting rid of flies If it is genuine,
it will prove an invaluable preventive
for great nuisance:
"Amongs the many miseries Of hu-
man life during the warm season Of the
year, may be numbered the tickling, and
buzzing, and obtrusive famiGarities of
the common house flies. A correspon-
dent of u British newspaper, tells US
how to destroy these pests. He says:
Pour little simple oxymel Gan article
sold by druggists) into common tum-
bier glass, and place in the glass piece
fcap paper, made into the shape of the
nipper part of funnel, with hole at
the bottom to admit the flies. Attrac-
ted by the smell, they readily enter the
trap in swarms, and by the thousands
soon collected, prove that they have
neither the wit nor disposition to return.
| recommend this plan with confidence,
for | have already destroyed great num-
bers.'"

day, and on the moral peace which she
felt within herself. She desired NJ.
Hauer to make smaller copy of the
/ Z o trait and send it to her family.
At the end of an hour and half a
low knocking was heard at little door
behind her. 1t was opened, and the ex-
ecutioner entered. Charlotte, turning
round, saw the scissors'and the red
chemise which he carried, and could not
avoid eyincing slight emotion, exclaim
ing, involuntarily, ''What already -
She Immediately recovered herself, and
addressing NJ. Hauer G do not know,
sir, how to thank you sufficiently for the
trouble you have taken; | have nothing
but this to offer you, keep it in memory
of me.' At the same time, taking the
scissors, she cut a beautiful ringlet Of
pale yellow hair, which had escaped
from her cap, and handed it to NJ. Hau-
er. The genarne and the executioner
were much touched.
At the moment when, on mounting the
cart, the crowd, ami mated by two con-
trary feelings, of anger and admiration,
saw coming out of the lower arcade of
the prison the beautiful and splendid
victim in her red mantle. Nature
seemed to connect itself with human
passion and violent storm burst over
Paris 1t did not last long, seeming to
fly before her, when she appeared at
Point-Neuf; and as she advanced slowly
along Rue ST. Honore the sun appeared
high and strong in the heavens, for 1t
was not yet seven O'Clock in the even
ing, 90 July.) The reflection on
her red dress heightened in a strange and
fantastic M nner the brilliant effect of
her complexion and eyes.
It is said that .Robespierre, Danton
and Camille Desmoulins stationed them
selves on the road to look at her-a
peaceful image. But what made this
revolutionary Nemesis terrible was, that
she disturbed all hearts, leaving them
full of astonishment Close observers,
men Of letters and physicians, were
struck with one single thing: Even the
irmest of the condemned sustained them
selves by animation, either by singing
patriotic songs or by formidable appeals
which they threwout against their enc
mics; she showed a perfectly calm, grave
and innocent serenity amidst the cries of
the mob. She arrived at the square with
singular majesty, and seemed as if trans
figured into the orb Of the setting sun.
A physician, who did not loose sight of
her an instant, says she turned pale at
the sight Of the axe but her color i'm
mediately returned, and she mounted
the scaffold with firm step. The
young girl reappeared in her at the mo-
ment when the executioner took off her
neck-haudkerchief; her modesty suf-
fered she advanced as if anticipating
death. The moment her head fell, a
carpenter. partisan Of Marat, who as
sisted the executioner, seizing it by the
hair and showing it to the people, had
the cowardly ferocity to give it blow
A shudder of horror and murmur went
round the square. It was thought that
the head blushed, This was owing per-
haps. simply to an optical effect: the
excited crowd had the rays of the set
ting sun, which penetrated the trees of
the Champs Elysees, in their eyes. The
commune of Paris and the tribunal sat
isfed the public sentiment by putting
the man in prison.

PREsTo! CHANGE.--A young and
very pretty lady, riding in the cars, was
observed to have piece of court plaster
on her lips, When the cars had emer-
ged from one of the long covered bridges
into the light, it was observed to have
disappeared, but the eye instantly de-
tected it clinging to the lip Of young
man who sat on the seat with her -
They looked as innocent as if they had
been " doing nothing"
