dahlias there was not SO good a display as
have seen, though there were some that were
very beautiful in form and color. The various
hued verhena appears to be deservedy growing
in favor, and appears to good advantage among
its beautiful compeers. There were in the hall
some unique and fanciful designs. One was
sort Of tower or turret, composed of vegetables
artfuiy and strangely combined and interwo-
ven.
"GNlhic Hall" contained specimens of the
fine arts. Daguerreotypes, crystallotypes, am
brotyPes, and all the large family of types, were
here present. There were some very fine spe-
cimens OF photographs, both painted and un-
painted from FariS's gallery in Cincinnati. The
photographs painted in oil upon canvass seem
to me to be the ne Plus ultra Of the art. There
were few pieces of statuary; that which at.
tracted most attention was BY foreign artist,
an Italian. 1t was the bust Of the yelled lady.
The marble Is very pure, and at a little distance
the illusion of the veil is perfect. This bust was
exhibited iii the New York Crystal Palace and
is now owned by DR.. Ide, of this city.
L have told you nothing about the driving on
Thursday, and the ladies riding on Friday. which
was by far the most exciting part of the whole
performance. But it was so much like other
performances of the kind, that | could scarcely
tell anything new strange in regard to it.
Besides, | am tired of writing, as | presume
you are Of reading; so l will not turn over
new leaf" but right here, at the bottom of this,
say, Vale. Yours, truly, kETURAH.

Courage and patience, oh my dropping soul
Upward and onward ever, ill the goal
Thy aspirations mark for me is won
And my spirit, wearied with the strife
And toll and trouble of a chequered life,
May hear at last the approving words well done"
Upward and onward, let thy motto be
Upward and onward, fearless, firm, and free;
Ii some shall doubt thee, gather from the trial
New strength to conquer, new desires for more
Than thou hast yet attained, or thought before
Thy wings could bear thee 10, in thy too low espia
Yes-pume thy pnions for a higher flight;
If life battle is, know thou the fight
Must end at last i'll victory TO those
Who with but conscience pure, and chastened spirit
Bring for their weapons truth and love and merit,
And choose the highest ground whereon ght their
Faint not, nor fater; once thou wer, wife,
And art not now. Ah yes, thy June of life
Forevermere is gone, with all its roses
But for these little ones. who look TO thee
In confidence for ali that thou woudst be,
And for the one beloved who reposes
Low i'll the ground, forget Thy selfish sorrow,
And duties well fulfilled will bring brighter

new black suit of clothes. However, he had
new coat, which was indispensable in his visits
at great houses, and, with his pretty, modern
cap, he was so attractive, that no lady whom
be met could refrain from noticing him.
Every Saturday, when he received the money
for his lessons, he put by little sum in his
savings bank, which was to furnish his expen-
ses for the spring term; the rest was used daily
to supply the wants of himself and mother, for
ne always reserved a certain portion for her.
To Frank, this was one of the most pleasant
duties OF his disagreeable life. To tighten the
burden of his dear mother, to whom he was in
debted for all-his education and his support
amply rewarded him for any little sacrifices or
privations he might make. He remembered
with the most sorrowful emotions, that she had
toiled early and late, in order to send him means
for his college expenses and his heart contract
ed in agony, as he felt how little he was able to
repay her. Yet he strove on, and the satisfac-
ton he derived from the knowledge that he
was doing something to aid her consoled and
encouraged him.

A Coop SLAvE.-A correspondent of the
Maysville Eagle says that during the prevalence
of the cholera at Flemingsburg, KY, few
days ago, the jailor, Dillon Bridges, died of
the same and although rapid and malignant
case, and almost every one leaving and avoid
ing the same that could leave, and although
about sixty deaths Immediately in and around
the place, yet there remained one, true and
lasting friend. 1t was Martin, slave of the
late John Lawson, deceased, of Fleming coun-
ty KY, who by his will had emancipated Mar
tin; but a set of hungry and contentious heirs
contested the will of his old master, and had
Martin committed to the jailor of Fleming,
pending the contest of the will, for want of bail
or security, under our statutes and judges orders
regulating such cases. Although Martins liber-
ty was at stake, his life in danger, &C., yet he
remained and nursed his own jailor to the last,
when others unrestrained deserted, and he still
remains to protect and support the family, al.
though in fact not prisoner under lock and
key.-NeWport Ky Neacs.

HOW mEH nRuRsT UP.,,

Men with unassuming wives never fail
Il is the husbands of such women as Mrs
DISH and Lady Brilliant, who themselves
face 90 face with the Sheriff, and certain
mysterious documents, adorned with red
tape and waters big enough for target ex
ercise.
The desire Of New York feminine is
to outshine her neighbors-not in mental
requirements, but in gingerbread orna-
ments and gold-edged coal scultles. Ii
Mrs. Dash gets upa game supper-wood-
cock stuffed with gold dust-Lady Bril-
liant takes the wind out other sails by get.
Ting up another, in which the prevailing
dish will be birds of paradise swimming in
gravy made Of melted pearls. II is this
rivalry, and not "dabbling in raiIdroad
stock" that brings ruination to the fast
men of Wall street. The ill-fortune of
which they complain, is no more or less
than brainless wife. If they would come
ba ok to happiness, they should direct theii
attention, not to the fluctuations Of th,
stock market, but the ruinous absurdiues
Of their own freside. Thousand dolla
repasts don pay, while the merchant VIII
purchases hundred dollar handkerchiefs 70
"a duck of a wife, should not wonder
the time eventually comes when "a goos
Of husband" lacked shirts, and was il

The Rev Cyrus Johnson, d. D., Of this

The history Of many Of the world
best men, who have risen from poverty TO
positions OF honor and afiiuence, reveals
the interesting fact, that it was the pos
session Of a small cash capitol in the out
set, which enabled them 10 start in the
path Of success, which ever after attended
their footsteps The histories Of thou-
sands ormen, unknown to fame, who have
raised themselves from the daily drudgery
Of their servile tasks, TO situations Of com
parative eonfort, attest the same impor
tant tru't.
Wefe i'at sad forgetfulness of these
exsmp'ss peyails among the Yanns rnar
ot o6t Jay. They are TOO ept 20 snccr at
the idea Of "small beginnings, and to in
duge their fsucies in higher aspirations.
They boast, as if it were virtue, that
they must commence business on large
scale, or moi at all..'s
With such spurious notions, consttut-
ing the main spring Of all their actions,
they soon FALL into spendthrift habits
they neglect 10 economist their small means
they waste their time; they have no fixed
purpose; they live from hand 10 mouth
:. their reputation for reliability is not good
and when favorable opportunity occurs
where, by the iudclous employment Of (
! small capital-say one hundred dollars
they could commence a profitable business
such individuals are caught withouta cen

Again. there is large class Of youn
men who cherish the belief that the time
are less favorable now for the successfu

ID gone years.
This is a very great mistake. The Of
~ portuni;ies for money-making, especial
from small beginnings, are hundrod-loI

Docs The Sondusky Mirror editor

family in the Western Liberties, who keeps
the house well supplied with wood. AT

and very soon returns with good sized
stick. We can now account for the won

pile. There must be number OF this

This is the cry from all quarters. Not
that there is famine, nor an approach 10
one, in our favored land. There is de-
rangcment in our money afars-money
is scarce, credit shaken, trade dull, busi-
ness tagging. The truth is, there must
be, and is, lowering prices o: all prop
erly. This will cause straining and crack

win not reduce Tie aggregate wealth Of
the country.
"A 70 che cause o. thc present hard

Excessive impoliations Of foreign luxu-
