Ratlin uttered wild cry, and sank insensible
on the deck. by these marks he had recogni-
zed the figure before him as the corpse Of his
own mother
shall low merely add that it was subse-
quentIy discovered, upon further investigation,
that the mother of Jack Ratlin, having disgui-
sed herself in seamon's apparel, bad shipped
in four different vessels, (previous to entering
the Rochester at Tacahuana,) for the purpose
OF hunting up her long lost son. 1t is not very
probable that she would have undertaken so
wild project had she not been affected with
slight derargement of her mental faculties,
caused, no doubt, by the sudden disappearance
of her son. The lapse of time had SO changed
the countenance and form of the latter since
she last behcld him, IA nero boy Of fifteen) as
to prevent her from recognizing him in the per-
soE Of sls second mate of the Rochester. Her
disguise, as we'll as the alterations which time
and sorrow had wrought upon her countenance,
likewise prevented Jack Ratlin from Identify
ing his mother with the person of the haggard-
looking seaman. | shalt conclude by adding
that the matricide is now the inmate of mad
house.

A GOOD ANECDOTE.

In the early days of the State of Indiana,
the capital was Corydon and the annual tes
sions of the General Assembly usually brought
together as wild set Of mad wags as could be
found in the State, who had to rely upon their
own resources for amusement, for there were
then few theatres, concerts or shows.
These lovers of mischief had established
mock Masonic Lodge, into which they would
entice such as were little green, and take
them through variety of ridiculous ceremo-
MES, to the infinite amusement Of the crowd.
On one of these occasions, it being under
stood that a good-natured, athletic young man,
about half simpletop, was TO be initiated, the
room was crowded. Judge Grass (lt being a
character in which he was pecnharly happy
had consented to act the role Of the devil and
to make the services more impressive, had put
on false face and large paper cap, sur
mounted with horns, and, with some chains in
his hands, placed himself behind a screen.

confess all the crimes be had committed during
his whole life. The candidate confessed some
trivial offences, and declared that he could re-
collect no more. At this the Judge came out
from bis hiding place, groaned, and shook his
chains. The frighted candidate related some
other small matters, and declared that he had
disclosed all the crimes be had ever committed.
At this the groans of the pretended devil be-
came furious, the chains ratified and he shook
his horns in the face of the terrified candidate.

What is Inn the WsndH

special correspondent of the New York Her
aid, writing from this City under date of May 10Th,
gives the following. This may or may not be a
canard, but as Mr.. Forney himself is writing some
rather singular articles days. the information
communicated may have its signifcance:-Pha. Necs
ssSome three weeks since, Hon. S. A. Douglas
spent almost an entire night at the house of Mr..
FoTney, in Philadelphia, discussing the course to
be taken to the Charleston Convention-Mr.
Douglas arguing in favor of going into that con-
vention and submitting to its action, whilst Mr..
Forney declared that he would have nothing to do
with it, and would fight any nominated by that
convention, even Douglas himself. Mr. Douglas
finally asked what he (Forney) would advise him
TO do; to which Mr.. Forney said that if he was in
his (Douglas) place, he would go to Chicago and
announce himself candidate for the Presidency,
in the some manner that town constables in this
Western towns announce themselves for Office, and
pay no attention whatever to the convention and
let convention meet and nominate Vice presi-
dent to run with him, and trust to the resnlt.-
Dou las opinion all the way through was, that il
was his best course to 60 into the Charleston Con-
vention and abide its results.
ssForney declared that he was going to fight the
Republican party and Administration party, con-
sdering che said) both of them the of cor
ruption, and feels sanguine that he win draw the
Democratic party back with him. He also stated
that the reason that their wing Of the Democracy
did not nominate ticket at Altoona was that they
were afraid of the exhibit they would make next.
October. He was afraid that the majority Of the
party would stick to the regular nominees, and
would not give them fifty thousand votes,
when he knew that there were three times that
number in the State sympathizing with their prin-
ciples."

TEE DYING WIFE.

Lay the gem upon my bosom,
Let me feel her sweet, warm breath,
For strange chill DER me passes,
And / knew that it is death.
l would gaze upon the treasure
Scarcely given ere / 90,
Feel her rosy. diaslea fingers
Wander DER my cheek of snow.
I am passing through the waters,
But a blessed shore appears,
Kneel beside me, husband, dearest
Let me kiss away thy tears
Wrestle with thy grief, my husband,
Strive from midnight until day,
1t may have an angels blessing,
When it vanishes away.
Lay the gem upon my bosom,
IT'S not long she can be there
See. how to my heart she nestles,
'Tis the pearl love to wear.
II, in after years, beside thee
Sits another in my chair,
Though her voice be sweeter music,
And her fee than mine more fair
If chcrub calls thee ''flther,'
Far more beautiful than this,
Love thy first born; o, my husband
Turn not from the motherless.
Tell her sometimes of her mother,
You viii cali her by my name
Shield her from the winds Of sorrow;
If she err, oh gently blame
Lead her sometimes where I'm sleeping,
Twill answer If she calls,
And my breath viii stir her riuglets
When my voice in blessing falls.
And her soft black eyes will brighten
With wonder whence it came;
In my heart, when years pass o'cr her,
sire will mad her n1osHcF 5 gaGIc.
It is said that every mortal
Walks between two angels here;
One records the i'll, but blots it,
If before The midnight drear
Man repcnteth; if uncancelled,
Then he seals it for the skies,
And the right hand angel weepeth,
Bending low With yelled eyes.
viii be her right hand angel,
Scaling up the good for Heaven,
Striving that the midnight watches
Find no misdeeds unforgiven.

AS | love thee-next to God!
