TuE wIDowED SWORD.

They have sent me the sword that my brave boy
wore
On the field Of his young renown-
On the last red field where his fate was sealed,
And the sun of his days went down..
Away with the tears
That are binding me so {;
There is Joy in his years,
Though his young heart be low;
And I'll gaze with solemn delight evermore,
On tho sword that my brave boy wore.
Twas for freedom and home that gave him away
Like tae sons of his race of old; ~
And though aged and gray, am childless this
day,
He is dearer thousand fold.
There's glory above him,
To hallow his name
A land that will love him
Who died for its fame;
And solace will shine when my old heart is sore,
Round the sword that my brave boy wore.
Ali SO noble, so true-how they stood, how they
In the battle, the plague. and the cUld
Oh, as bravely and we'll as Ger sto"y could tell
OF the flowers Of tho heroes of old.
Like sword through tho foe
Was Lnat fearful attack,
That so bright ere the blow,
Comes so Gloodily buck;
And, foremost among them, his colors he bore
Aud here is the sword that my bravo boy wore.
It was kind of his comrades, ye know not how
kind,
It was moro than the Indies to me;
You know not how kind and steadfust of mind
Tho soldier to sorrow can be.
They knew well how lonely
How previously wrung,
Is the heart that is only
Love loses so young.
And they closed his dark eye when the battle
was DER,
And sent his old father the sword that he wore.

ur. Pepper WrestIes with lIiiesian.
Mr.. Pepper is a very shrewd lawyer.
/ In examining awitness, he exhibits tact
that generally enables him TO secure a
triumph for truth. He once in while,
however, meets. with queer customer.
Such an one turned up ON Tuesday last.
a. Mr.. Doyle was complained OF for keep
ing an improper house. The complain
ant engaged Mr.. Pepper 70 manage the
case. The first witness who testified was
Cornelius 0,Neil. We give his examina-
ton:
DO you know the defendant. Doyle?"

What kind of a house does he keepg
A brick house.
"I don't mean that. What are its pe-
culiarities ?"
1.-Two stories with back kitchen which
joins on to Sheridan's fence"
You still misunderstood me, wish
to know the reputation OF that house-is
it good. or bad 2"
Bad, intirely."
Mr.. Pepper called the attention Of the
court to this answer. and desired the JUS
toe to make note. The justice did so.
"What do you mean, Mr.. o'Neil, when
you say the reputation of this house is
bad ?''
" That it has the divil's own chimney,
aud roof that leaks like seiye."
You still misunderstood me. Mr.. o.
Neil. Let me try again. What kind Of

"You will still persist in misunder-

"No, Sir not Of the town. but devil

BY women of the town, Mr.. 0'Neil,

"What is that ?'

of acquittal.-State Police Tribune.

French Notions of"Amalgamation."

A very extraordinary case of deser-
ton from the army is chronicled in the
newspapers. A young man named Saby
was sent by his parents. who are highly
respectable. and very wealthy people,
residing in one of the epartmeuts-to
pursue his medical studies in Paris. Soon
after his arrival in Paris he became &C.
quainted with negress, native of Mo-
z4mbique. as black as the ace of spades.
over fifty years of age, and as ugly as a
fat nose, thick lips, google eys and sooty
complexion could render her. With this
revolving animal strange to say the young
and well bred French man fell violent.
ly in love! The proverb says. "There is
no accounting for tastes"-but who can
imagine fine looking young white man
falling in love with wench, old enough
to be grandmother. Nevertheless, such
was the fact, and the foolish young man
proceeded to squander upon his singular
cher annie not only all he had in his pos
session but all::he could coax fromihis pa
rents, and by fraudulent representations,
borrow from his friends. After every
resource had been exhausted and all his
relatives had refused to satisfy his exor-

squapdered the sum thus obtained upon
the negress! He soon commenced alb

leave. where, on discovery of his medica
abilities. he had been promoted to the
rank of petty officer. and he was; there
fore dismissed from his post, and exchan
ged into another regiment. This regi

A s1eHT OF a GREAT MAE.-Goethe like
many celebrated men. was annoyed by
the visits of strangers. a student once
called at his house and requested to see
him. Goethe, contrary to his usual cus>
tom consented to be seen ; and after the
student had waited sometime in the ante>
chamber, he appeared, and without
speaking. took chair and seated himself
in the middle of the room, The student,
far from being embarrassed with this un-
expected proceeding, took lighted wax
candle in his hand, and walking around

sides, and setting down the candle, he
drew out his purse, and taking from It a
small piece of silver. put it on the table,
and went away without speaking word

JOHN SADLIER.-The Petersburg (Va) Demo-

We were informed on Saturday by an Irish gen.
teman, coming from the South who knew them
both, that they are now on their way to Cuba, and
passed through this city to New Orleans, and from
there to the Island of Cuba. We were inclined to
doubt this story, but the positive manner in which
our informant related the circumstances of bis see
ing them, somewhat satisfied us; he speaks of their
being dressed in very ordinary costume, large
Panama hats and blue shirts, and other garments
to match and their boards being shorn, IL were,
by pair of scissors, or having the appearance of
