An old man sat by the cottage fire,
And he watched the children play;
And tear stole down his aged cheek,
But he wiped it not away;
For his thoughts had wandered back again
To the scenes Of other years,
And his spirit had found d glad relief
In the falling Of his tears.
Again be played on the dear old hearth,
And he heard a mothers voice,
And the gentle tones fell on his ears,
And they made his heart rejoice;
Again he Joined in the 'blind mans buff"
And the game of ''hide and seek,'i
And be heard his little sisters voice,
So gentle, soft and meek.
Then in the shade, by the woodland dell,
He sat with his picture book,
Or wandered TO seek some wild birds nest
That hung Ger the ripping brook,
Till, tired and weary of boyhood's play,
He turned to his home again,
BY the rustic stile and the broken bridge,
And the shady old green lane.
And thus the old man sat and unused,
And the tears fell down his check,
And a happier hour il was to him
Than the old mans tongue could speak.
Yet he knew it was but a pleasant dream
That too soon had passed DER
That his eyes were dim and his locks were grey
And he should be young no more.

Col. george w. Hnxhas.

This distinguished Marylander made
us short visit at the last term of our
Circuit Court, and was much admired bv
our citizens on account Of his accom-
plished and winning manners. The
Colonel graduated with distinction at the
West Point Military Academy---was az
forwards a Civil Engineer, and some
twenty years since was appointed a Cap
tain in the u s. Corps Of Typographical
Engineers, and subsequently, vas sent to
Europe by Mr. Poinsett, then Secretary
of War, on scientific mission, and vas
absent, inspecting the public works and

Col. Hughes made his first campaign az
an engineer officer in Mexico, in the staffs
of Gen. Wool and Gen Worth WIS pre-
sent at Vera Cruz and Cerro Gordo, and
for the latter received brevet, In con-
sideration of his services, President Polk
conferred on him the mission Of Colonel
of the Maryland Regiment of Volur-
teers, in which capacity he routed from
the stronghold of F" Puente NATIONAL
an overwhelming force of Mexicans, for
which he received second brevet, and
was soon after appointed Civil and Mill
tary Governor Of the important depart
ments of Jalapa and Perote, forming
together a territory as large as the State
Of Maryland.
After the war, by consent Of the Gov
eminent, he accepted the appointment Of
Chief Engineer Of the Panama Railroad,
and was the pioneer Of that great work,
surveyed, located and prepared the road
for contract. He was offered very large
inducements to remain and construct tho
road, but his health, which had been
broken down in Mexico, and with the
Chagres fever, compelled him TO decline
it. His greatly impaired health, and
the neglect eff his private affairs, at length
induced him reluctantly to resign bis
commission in the army, and to return to

GRAIN Cur, THREsHKD AND BAGGED
AT ONE OPERATION. The Toledo Blade
states that our former townsman, VIM.
Wilmington, has perfected machine
which successfully accomplshes the above
desideratum of the agricultural commu-
nifty; and its editor has seen its prscti-
cability tested in the harvest fields of
that vicinity. 1t combines simplicity,
economy and utility in an admirable de-
gree--cuts the grain. carries it to the
threshing cylinder, separates the grain
and straw, carries the grain to the bag,
and deposits the straw in the swath in
which it was cut, and all with the pre-.
cisiou of cloekwork. 1t is drawn by six
horses and tended by three men; but
with small Improvement, only two men
will be needed to drive the team and d.
rect the operation of the machine. 1t
weighs 1900 pounds, will cost $500,
will harvest eight acres per day, and save
in expenses nearly 60 per cent; and Mr..
Wilmington has also invented conve-
nient portable bin, for the deposit of the
grain when thrashed, which will be spe-
cially serviceable in large fields
congratulate Mr.. " ilmington upon
his success in this invention, and hope
it may realize fortune to him. Since
he left South Bend he has been engaged
in car building, and has twice made
snug fortune in their manufacture, but
lost it all by the Insolvency of several
railroad companies, whose equipage, built
by his firm, has been taken by the cred
itors Or bondholders. His we'll known
energy and inventive genius has not,
however, deserted him and we trust
that this time his success will be an as.
sured and permanent one.--iSouth Bend

IL is said that the new ball, independent

as many more of the new than Of the
Minnie bullets struck the target at 600

School Of Firing, is the inventor Of the

HEARING WITH THE TEETH. Lay a
watch upon table, glass side downward,
then stand so far from it that you cannot
in any ordinary way hear the ticking. -
Now place one end of small stick, say
about six feet long. upon the back of the
watch, and grip the teeth to the other !;
with the fingers close each ear to exclude
all external noise the beat Of the watch
will then be as audible as if placed
against the ear. All other sounds can
be conveyed in the same manner, no
matter how long the stick be; for in
stance, if one end be put upon a piano
forte IN sitting-room fronting a garden,
and the stick be thirty feet long, extend
ing outside the window on to o lawn, and
the instrument be ever so lightly played,
the tune will be instantly distinguished
by any person applying the teeth to the
end of the stick. Again. il light bar

and then struck with any hard substance,

In the course of a few months, from
the effects of incessant care and attention
Edwards business began sensibly to in
crease; and in year or two, from a
struggling beginner, he found himself
well established tradesman. And he felt
and acknowledged, that this prosperous
turn in his affairs was attributable to the
influence and exertions of his wife, who
instead of lamenting her hard fate in be-
ing obliged to economize and exert her
self in every possible way, had resolutely
set to work, and by her cheerful industry,
and management, had averted melan-
choly crisis Of failure and disgrace.
How A SOLDIER FEELS IN BATTLE
A young French officer thus writes of
his first experience in battle:
Our officers kept us back, for we were
not numerous enough to charge upon the
enemy. This was, moreover, most pru-
dent. for this murderous fire--so fatal to
the coats--did us but little harm.
Our conical balls penetrated their dense
masses, while those of the Austrians
whistled past our ears and respected our
persons. 1t was the first time | had faced
lire, nor was | the only one Well,
am satisfied with myself. True, | lodged
the first balls, but Henry ", they say.
did the same at the beginning of every
battle. 1t is, in fact, physical effect,
independent of the will.
But, this tribute paid, if you could
only feel how each shot electrifies YOU |
1t is like whip on racers legs. The
balls whistle past you, turn up the earth
around you, kill one and wound another.
and you hardly notice them. You grow
intoxicated; the smell of gunpowder
mounts to your brain. The eye becomes
bloodshot, and the look is fixed upon the
enemy. There is something of all the
passions in that terrible passion excited
in soldier by the sight of blood and the
tumult of battle
Everybody who has tried it testiies to
the peculiar intoxication that is produced
by being in battle. There is an infa-
tuating influence about the smell of pow
der, the shrill whistle of a bullet, and
the sight of human blood, that instantly
transforms men from towards to heroes
from women sometimes to monsters
None can tell of the nature or mystery
Of that influence but those who have been
in the fray themselves.
