Song of the Hoops.

Sailing down the crowed street,
Scraping every one they meet,
With rushing whirlwind sound,
Muffled bellies around abound.
Hoop! hoop! hoop!
What vast, expansive swoop!
Hoops of whalebone, short and crisp;
Hoops of wire, thin as a wisp;
Hoops of brass, thirteen yards long,
Hoops of steel, confirm'd and strong;
Hoops of rubber, soft and slick,
Hoops of roping, bungling thick;
Hoops of lampwick, cord, and leather,
Hoops that languish in wet weather;
Hoops that spread out silken skirts,
Hanging of from silly firts.
Sweeping off the public lands,
Turning over apple-stands;
Telling children to the ground,
As they Fl, unit and whirl around.
Hoopl hoopl hoop
What vast. expansive swoop!
jolly hoops, that wriggle round,
Sober hoops, that sway profound;
Springy hoops, that shake and wag,
Broken hoops, that droop and drag;
Monster hoops, all overgrown,
Jonior hoops, of smaller bone;
Hoops that ravish lovers eyes,
Hoops that rend their breasts with size;
Hoops that shock their feeble legs,
Like crowd of giant kegs.
What gallant ships what swelling sails!
How they resist opposing galesl
With what full, relentless waft
They overwhelm each smaller craft
Hoop! hoop! hoopl

How Sweet it's to Return.
BY SAMUEL LOVER.

BY SAMUEL LOVER.
How sweet It's to return
Where once we've happy been,
Tho paler now life's lamp may burn,
And years have rolled between.
And if those eyes beam welcome yet
That wept our parting then
o, in the smiles of friends thus met
We live whole years again!
They tell us Of fount that flowed
In happier days of yore,
Whose waters bright fresh youth bestow'd
Alas the fonts no more
But smiling mem'ry still appears,
Presents her cup, and when
We sip the sweets of vanishd years.
We live these years again.
Only Thee
Dear Lord only Thee
Only Thee! Ipray,
Fill my heart with only Thee,
Till pass away.
Many do love,
And many do love me,
But Thou-Thou all above
Thou knowest love Theel
Dear Lord, be my guide;
| give my hand to Theel
By day and night, through time and tide,
know Thou wilt keep me.
The fairest love is mine
Which in this world may be;
Dear Lord, let ever Thine be mine
Thou knowest love Thee

fact that doctors bills and newspaper bills

no difference if his chests be filled with old

the practice of physic and the publishing of

Daniel Morgan, the Rifleman.

The following appears in the letter of the
Virginia correspondent of the Journal of
Commerce (:
The name of Daniel Morgan, the celebra-
ted commander of the Virginia Rfemen is
u household word in Virginia His renains
repOse at Winchester Jerseyman by birth,
he early emigrated to the Virginia wilds, and
was a WAGNER in the French war. Tall.
muscular and Injured to all hardships he was
fond Of adventure, famed for intense daring
and hair-hreadth escapes. He had been
grossly nsulted by one British officer and Sc
verely punished by another, in the name of
King George.
At the opening of the revolution he raised
battalion of rihemeb, and drilled them to
perfection. They spurned the bayonet and
relied on the deadly aim Of the rife He
used to say the business of his men was to
kill, not to be killed. AT the battle or Sar-
atoga, seeing the day was going against the
Americans by reason of the eMextraorGinary
skill and energy Of Gen Frazer with his
Scotch division, he resolved TO resort to the
only measure conceivable to arrest the tide
of battle that threatened to overwhelm them.
Summoning to his presence the best marks
man in his command whose aim was never
known to fail, he said to him:
Murphy, do you see that officer on the
iron-gray horse?'
"Yes, sir" was the reply of the old sol
der.
Morgan rejoincd with an almost unfalter-
ing voice, then, do your duty"
Murphy ascended tree, cut away. the in
terlaced branches with his hatchet (this was
part of their variegated armor, rested his
rifle in sure place, watched his opportunity
and as soon as Gen. Frazer had, in his anima-
ted movements, come within practical range,
fired, and the gallant Frazer fell mortally
wounded being shot in the centre of the
body. That fall decided the day. The enc
my soon gave way, and Saratoga became i'm
mortal. But Morgan, the rough soldier, was
a man Of tender feelings, and he almost wept
at the deed, and always said it troubled him,
because it looked so much like kind of as
sassinaton of brave and noble officer; but.
gallant as the officer was, he had placed him
self there to be shot at, and was engaged in
shooting others. Nelson fell on the deck of
the Victory in similar way.
1t is not what people eat, but what they
digest that makes them strong. 1t is not
what they gain, but what they save that
makes them rich. 1t is not what they read,
but what they remember that makes them
learned. 1t is not what they profess, but
what they practice that makes them right
eous. These are very plain and important
truths, too little needed by gluttons, spend
thrifts, bookworms and hypocrites.

A murder rece

An EXTRAORDINARY CASE o. &c es Sg M
ly committed at Newburgb, in the .nary ~ I've"
York, has developed some extraordI- H., ~ UNI
stances tending to discredit the reliab. oi CIT
cumstantial evidence. The body of = young
woman stripped Of all but the under cl, wing
IL was recognized as that Of Sarah c. Bloom oy
several persons, among whom was her own sis "
ter who Unidentified II by certain marks and phys-
ical peculiarites On the strength of this indenti
fcation, Young man who had last been seen in
the company of Miss Bloom arrested and
suspiciOn was already building up against him
charge of murder founded upon what appeared
to be pretty conclusive CiTcuLnstantial evidence
But al this crisis Miss Bloom appeared herself
and Of course, put all end To the superstition that
she had been murdered. The most curious part
CT the case was the remarkable resemblance be-
tween Miss Sarah Bloom and the body supposed
10 have been hers. The points of resemblance
described as follows:
" The body had a scar on the left eyebrow pre-
cisely where Sarah has one the body had a cut
Oh he main fryer Of the left hand precisely
where Sarah has one Of the same character the
body has snail black mole about half way be-
tween the snsle and the knee OF tie shin bone.
exactly wherG sarih has one but srrangest Of
all, the body has TIC 'oes Of the left fUcs grown
together, precisely like S.reh's, except that Sa-
Iah are not grown together 50 Ear down on the
;cint; the toes of both feet of this body, like IA
rsh's, were pressed together ffOm y'eafihg tight
shoes, and Sarah wears coral rihS on AiS. the
singer from which on the corpse a ring haG seen
stripped. These facts. connected with Sarah's
aOSecce- the curious story Of jenkins to w here
he had lefi asr -tEe incident Of her going in a Of
the body and was no. strse9 heard from for
four days, combined to make ffTSbasly one of the
strongest cases Of ciTcumstantal ey Hence against
jenkins that could be conceived.
