A Quaint Advertisement.

The Mechanics Free Press of November
8, 1853, "a copy of which has been given
to us by q friend) contains the following
advertisement, which it says it copied
from a late Dayton f0hio) paper. 1t
seems that greater inducements were
held out to bachelors thirty years ago, to
enter into the bonds of matrimony, than
are presented in this progressive age:
Take Noticel Elijah Slider, a Minister
of the Gospel, wishes to inform the pub
lie that he has had authority to solemnise
marriages, from the year 1927, in March,
and desires a patronage. If they will
grant him their custom, he promises to
marry for n dollar, if not taken more
than five miles from home, or seventy .6vc
cents at his house. He will be found one
mile from Dayton, on the Cincinnati
road Jefferson Street. Also the said Sill
der will pay the highest price for linen
and cotton rags delivered at his store,
either in goods or cash.
Assuming that the rags were worth
FIVE cents per pound at that time, for
twenty pounds of linen Or cotton cast off
garments, two happy hearts might be
united in the silken bonds Of Hymen.-

notes, hesitations, and other vices of

RSr Dispatches have been received by Lord
Napier, from the commander of the West In
dla squadron, disavowing any authority on his
part for the recent proceedings in the Gulf,
and denying that he gave any instructions
which warranted them. He states that he
has despatched vessels to recall the cruisers. =
It is now helieFed that the question will be
satisfactorily adjusted.
In the house Of commons on the LIST inst,
Mr.. Lindsay asked the Government if it was
true that the United States vessels in the Ha-
yana or Western Coast Of Africa trade had
been fired into, boarded, or searched or de-
tained by British cruisers ; and if 50, by what
authority or under whose instructions did the
commanders Of these ships so act.
Mr.. Fitzgerald said the government had NO
official information on the subject, but he had
reason to believe the reports had been exager-
ated. They were as anxious as the American
government to avoid all cause of complaint, and
strict orders had been issued to the officers on
the stations to be especially cautious,

While the rosy tint pf theig lifgfs young glow,

As the snow fake melting till all are gone.
They go while untouched by the open blast
Which whitening time on the old hath cast
While fancy painteth the amethyst hue
With the diamond glittering, blending through,
As the mighty host in their miIdest beam,
Or tn imprisoned trust of the lovers dream.
They go where the tendrils of love entwine
Round the heart, untouched by the wintry wind
While the spring hath nought in its early bloom
For its lively one of despair or gloom;
While each balmy urn Oh the flowing strand
Sends forth rich odors through all the land.
They go ere the lattice on which they chung
Of its fairest and dearest hath lost not won:
Till lost to the bark is its guide and stay,
Tossing about on the trackless way;
They go while are mirrored their CHERISHED form
Which the stream of youth on its bosom warm.

OUTLYING all gifts that are sweet and dear,

The valley ofthe Shadow.
by s. P. s%HTLLABER.

Down the dark valley, alone, alone,
Has our white winged dove in her beauty flown
Her tender eyes that sh6ne so bright
Have closed forever to earthly light;
She has left the love that was round her thrown,
And down the valley has fed alone.
There were bitter tears when she passed away
A sad, sad cloud obscured our day.
She had twined herself round each loving hear
Till she seemed of its very self a part;
Oh, how We loved her but she has flown
Down the dark valley-alone, alone.
She was but a fragile and beautiful thing.
A blossom to bloom in the lap of Spring
The MONDAY heat with its feverish glow.
And the chilly breath of the wintry snow
She could not abide, and thus has flown
Down the dark ~valley-alone, alone.
Oh, dark to us doth the valley appear,
And we shrink aghast from its shadows drear
The earthly sense is chilled by the gloom
Of the sonbre midnight of the tomb.
Thus we gave her up, while our heart made moar
And she went down the valley-alone, alone.
Alone, all alone, but beyond the night
Of the darksned vale is a radient light.
That breaks from above with diyiner ray
Then shines the glory of solar day,
Which springs from Gods eternal throne.
And lights the valley she trod alenel
And seraph hands in joyfulness hold
The little wanderer from our fold
Her gentle feet shall feel no harm,
Sustained by the angelic arm,
And brighter than the sun e'er shone,
Is she who passed down the valley alone.

Before the Ere could be extinguished, the
clothing of the youngest daughter, from her
waist up, was entirely consumed, burning her
severely. Her sufferings are extreme, and ii
is feared she will survive. The eldest daugh.

The accident would have been fatal to both
had It not been for the presence Of mind of the
persons attrhcted to the spot by screams of the
young ladies. They promptly wrapped wooden
rags, &c, around them and extinguished the
flames.
