We will not pry into the mutual con-
fessions of that hour-but they left the
dark walls of the prison, entwined in each
others arms, and with the deepest affection
beaming from their eyes. He abandoned
the sen, betook himself to agricultural
pursuits, and from that date a more loving
and devoted couple could not be found.
But asks the reader, who was the MUIR
dered woman that was found in the wood?
That mystery was not solved for years. 1t
was at last discovered through the confess
sion of thief and murderer, who was
hung IN distant city at no very distant
date.
He stated that at the time of this mur-
der he had been stopping in the neighbor-
hood, committing burglaries, thefts, DC, as
opportunity permitted; that he had formed
a Liaison with q woman who temporarily
boarded at the place; that the latter, two
or three days before the children's excur-
sion to the woods, had left in a light wag-
on, accompanied by him, for Providence
while driving through the wood he, IN q
fit of jealousy, struck her senseiess from
the vehicle, and then took her life.-
Alarmed lest he should be discovered, he
hastily hid her in the thick brush, but re-
turned to the spot at midnight, when he
buried her near an unfrequented thicket
and then fled from the scene of his crime
The resemblance between this woman and
the captains wife was surprising strange
but if the features had been perfect, the
difference in the person would have beer
at once apparent. Thus was solved th'
mystery attending one of the most remark
able cases of circumstantial evidence tha
ever transpired.

SYMPTOMS OF FIRST LovE.-When yorS
find Master Jack suddenly refuse one
morning to play marbles amy more forever
-be sure that Master Jack is seized with
his first love.
When you find in Master Jack s bedroom,
sundry looking bottles with yellow bear
in a blue forest on the label--which the.
label not the BEAR informs you that the
contents of the bottle is an onguet that
makes the moustaches grow-you may be-
sure Master Jack is seized with his first
love.
If YOU find Master Jack no longer pays
that attention to the solids of the dinner
table which he was won't to do, and there
Is no other cause, be sure it is an attack OF
his first love that occasions it. ..
If Jack becomes satirical and alludes in
scornful terms to the world. be sure Jack 8
first love has just sprouted.
If you find pocket edition Of Byron.
anywhere about Jack s clothes, be sure he's
far gone in first love-
II you find pair Of patent feathers
coming home from your shoemaker's ora
Saturday afternoon. and can't remember
ordering them, and they don't fit anybody
but Jack--don't blame him. First loves
responsible.
If you see Jacks finger ends rather inky
and scraps of an acrostic anywhere around
be assured that first love has caused the
spoiIinw of some good stationery.
Finally, if Jack is suffering from first
love don't be bard on the poor fellow, and
above all, don't meet the complaint with too
strong remedies, lest it strike in, and Jack
strike ont from psrental authority. First
love is like tire. whooping- g-cough-we must
alE hSsve. it.. and it is best to catch It young.

VOICE OF THE WEEK

ALNESA C. sAuNDERs.
Another week! All who shall read
Upon the mighty scroll of time
The record of these seven days,
OF mirth, and misery, love, and crime?
Reveal to us, ye heet-winged band,
What each has witnessed till the sun
Sent his last glance from western hills,
Proclalming that your task was done.
Soft, was the deep, and mellow voico
or her who first the solemn spell,
Broke with vision of the morn,
Made vocal Uy the chime of bells:
81 wear u regal crown,'' she said,
ssFor when the Prince of Heaven was slain,
wore upon my brow the star,
Which led him to his home again.
My robes arc, first, the twilight gauze;
That lightly float, and softly trail,
That Sol may not too soon awake,
The blossoms sleeping in the vale:
All! Mine 1t is, to witness much
or Joy, and grief, yet-Il lay
Upon the dusky brow of night
The fainting shadow of the day.
Fair forms have knelt with palld lips,
To ask from earth sweet release;
And troubled spirits plucked, at last
The golden olive leaf of peace:
Sweet eyes have frightened with such tears,
ASonly from those fountains flow
The hidden Marahs of the soul,
How bitter, those who taste, but know.
saw the bride with flushing check,
Glowing from her bridal veil,
While vet the wreath lay on her curls-
Droop like q white rose, crushed and pale
And well marked, that from the throng-
Wos hed the li1ht of many
That flashed with brilliance, when before
My banners lit the eastern SKYE
And what can st thou relatei said;
Who clam'st Luna, as thy Queen?
Hast thou not from thy flying car,
Looked down upon n brighter sooner
s.From polo to pole, vainly sought
Some drop of unalloyed bliss;
Some blossom, which may never bloom
Insuch u poisoned air rs this.'
Then in a chorus-joined the seven,
or mrth, and sadness, Joy, and woe;
OF hearts that blossom like the rose,
Which agonzed an hour ago:
OF long missed faces, flashing in
Upon hearth stone circle, bright;
Where features from a calm repose-
Lit, and grew radiant with delight.
OF festive scenes, where beauty reigns,
A soft enchantment seems to shed;
And chambers where the paling lamp
Shines o'cr the features Of the dead:
OF war and carnage, and the smoke
Which half conceals the CHASTITY slain;
And blood from young and glowing hearts,
Poured out upon the soil, like rain.
And shall It e'er be thus! 1 said,
While cycle after cycle rolls?
Has eal tn no fortress we may gain7
No bright Elysium, where souls
May drink their deep, and pure draughts;
For which the restless spirit yearns-
And view those mountains Of delight,
To which the fancy foDdly turnsf
"Porever thus! Forever thus!''
A solemn spectre made replyj
$50 long as clouds go up and down,
Upon the blue halls of the sky;"
The spirit chafes within in its chaips,
Its prison of mortality;
And wildly nutters, to regain
Its impress of divinity.
Faint spirit-Soon, in some pure sphere
With all thy vast capacity
And with thy mental yisi ons clear,
From every gross obseursty-
Shall life's great problem all be solved,
And every mental mist disIe
And the great text book Of the mind,
The wonders OF the Universe.

The State. Ticket,

We need not refer to the State Ticket Of
the Democracy again. 1t is comp :sed of
able and intelligent men. Gen. PACKER,
for Governor, is one Of the best qualified
men in the State for the position: Hon.
NIMROD STRlC is known from
one quarter ofthc State to the other, and
his name is the very synonym for honesty
and integrity: Hon. VIM. STRONG
and Hon. JAMES THOMPSON, of Eric,
are legal gentlemen of the highest ability,
and during the whole campaign, there has
never word been uttered against their
competency for the exalted position for
which they are candidates.
Such is the State Ticket of The Democra-
cy. We expect for it large vote, and
confidently rely upon its election by large
majority.

Hon. J. CLANCY Jones.

Tho sterling Integrity and genuine
patriotism that has so distinguished the
public career of the Hon, J. CLANCY JONES
his gallantry and his unselfshness, have
justly won for him the warm regard of the
National Democracy of every section Of
the country. Mr.. Jones' recent visit to
Bloomsbury, has endearcd himself to all
who had the pleasure Of meeting with him,
and carries with him the confidence and
c'teem in an eminent degree tf the entire
democracy of Columbia, as he has ever
been regarded the answering champion Of
the Democracy of Pennsylvania. The
Macon (Ga.) Telegraph of the goth ult., in
referring to the fact that Mr.. JONES has
declined being candidate for the Speak.
ership ofthc next House of Representatives,
says -
Hon. j. CLANCY Jones has declined the
candidacy for the Speakership. Mr.. j. is
a model for cur opposition friends. He
declined Cabinet appointment, and now
the Speakership. We wish We had one
hundred just such able, patriotic, iudepen-
dent and high-toned gentlemen in our
National Councils as j. CLANCY Jones Of
Pennsylvania. We want you to come 10
Georgia, Mr.. Jones. You promised last
year to speak at the College Commence
ment at Lagrange, but postponed your visit
to fight the Black Republicans. You will
have no such excuses next year--so come
to the Empire State OF the South, and see
how her people love to honor true worth
in high places, by the kind and cordial
welcome they will give to Old Bcrks'
favorite.

Col. George w. Rupert.

We are indebted to the politeness Of our
worthy young friend, named above, now in
the far-off region of California, for sundry
substantial favors. Col. Rupert is an
active business man, and, although he went
away an Old Line Whig, he is now good
Democrat. A month ago, he sent US an
interesting letter, the essence of which, is
recorded under our usual heading of
Monthly Receipts, and this week we received
another letter from him, from which
without his permission-we make the
following extracts.
Dear Cot:-I wish could send YOU
some of our Peaches, raised up here in the
mountains. They are from IL to 16 iaches
in circumference, and tip top to boot. A
friend of verify, told me to-day, that he
had Peach tree in his garden, only two
years old from the seed (or stone), that
produced Sl2 worth of Fruit this season.
Can you beat this, COL, in old Columbia

Ever yours, fraternally,
G. W. RUPERT.
