MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

- Not long since religious society, in Connecticut, met to decide what color they should paint their meeting house. Some pro- posed one color and some another. One of the speakers at length suggested the following mo- tion "I move we paint it rum,color, for Deacon Smith has had his face painted that color for a number of years, and it grows brighter every year" m
 - It is said that Yankee has invented machine for corking up daylight, which will eventually supersede gas. He covers the inte- rior of iour-barre with shoemaker's wax; holds it open to the sun and then suddenly heads up the barrel. The light sticks to the wax, and at night it can be cut, and sold "in lots to suit purchasers"
 -It is not for the generation among whom Elizabeth Browning has sung, and Charlotte Bronte has spoken, and Harriet Hosmer has chiseled, and Rosa Bonheur has painted, and Mary Lyon has taught, and Florence Nightingale has lived. to despair of woman's achievement of her highest destiny
 -- No man should over be ashamed to own that he has been in the wrong, which is but saving, in other worlds that he is wiser to-day than he was yesterday. Yet how many foolish persons there are who persist in their own opinions. to the disgust of all sensible people.

TIE RIVER TIcINo, SARpINIA.--The war news from Europe speaks of the Austrian armies being ordered to Ticlno. This is a small stream which marks the boundary llne between Sardinia and the Austrian provinces of Venetian Lombar- dy Switzerland lies north of Sardinia and the Mediterranean Sea on the south. France is on the west beyond the barrier of the Croatian Alps. In the passes ol Mount Dauphin, and in the contiguous dis tricts. are concentrated masses of French soldiers, awaiting the signal which IS to bid them cross the friendly frontier. Aus tria has one hundred and fifty thousand men encamped near the TIcino river. She has the horses, artillery, and military stores necessary to the efficiency ot this great host; she is enduring daily expen- allure which IS consuming her internal re- sources, and edging on, inch by inch, to- ward the catastrophe of an inevit able bankruptcy

FOR THE cIrIzEN,1
 THE INDIAN UND.
BENEATH this earth-mound's towering bro,

BENEATH this earth-mound's towering brow The red-man's bones in silence sleep: i No kinsman near his knee doth bow,
 To drop tear, or vigil keep. The Indian hut, the wigwam rude, With smoke ascending to the sky, Have all been swept by fire and food No trace is left, no ruins nigh. The council-fire was kindled near,
 Round which the rsd-armed statesmen stood To speak of wrongs they suffer'd here, And rouse the warriors crimson blood. The forest which, in days of yore, l Gave echo to the savage yell, Is by the Indian seen no more
 Has by the pale-faced ax-men fell. Z The earth which once the ed-man strode, As monarch of the virgin soil, - Is now the white mans bess'd abode, s.. aa And yields rich harvest to his toil. The bison, bear, and bounding deer, Which clothed his limbs. his hunger fed. Are seldom seen to venture near
 This mold'ring charnel of the dead. Sleep, then, beneath this silent mound No hand remove the messy sod- Until the last loud trumpet's sound E, Reveals thy better hunting-ground,
 And calls the white man to his God.

A ACKNOWLEDGMENT HERo.--The edit or of the Paulding Clarion, while in at tendance at the Perry county court, met an old revolutionary soldier named Jere- miah Willingham. 3ho knew Washington and Jefferson well, and was al the battle of Eutaw Springs. and many of the hard est fought battles of the revolution. He voted for Jefferson for President, and is now one hundred and two years old. His last marriage was contracted at the age ol seventy seven years, and elghty-slx years have elapsed since his hrst marriage. He is still hale and hearty, can mount a horse with ease, and can shoot squirrel from the tallest tree with rife. The old gentleman, 1t is said. IS at last becoming tired of East Mississippi; the country is becoming too thickly settled for him.
