Her HEAD WAS RIGHT.--A happy, un-
sophisticated couple from the rural districts
got married on Tuesday last, aud posted off
TO Indianapolis To enjoy the first few days
in seeing the sights at the State Fair. They
first stopped at the American House, where
Rinkle, after puzzlng his brain to the ut
most, was unable to give them room, and
they were obliged to be separated. On
Wednesday night they tried another hotel,
with no better success. The rooms were all
crowded, and men bad to be hnddled to-
ge!her in one room, some on the floor, aud
packed up any way, while ladies were served
the same in other rooms appropriated to
their use. On Thursday the unhappy couple
in despair and disguised with crowded ho-
tells, searched for and found private boar
ding house. The landlady sympatbsed
with them, and promised, if possible, that
they should have room. But on Thursday
a perfect avalanche OF people came upon the
town, and the boarding houses and private
houses, as well as the hotels, had to make
every shift to stow away as many as possi-
BILE at night. Our unfortunate newly we'd
ded pair beard with dismay after tea that
they would have to be separaled again that
night The groom looked his disappoint-
ment, but the bride could not control her
feelings, aud blubbered out as she stamped
her foot on the floor--"Pve got my head
set on it, and won't be separated from Jim
any more" The boarders snorted, aud Of
fered to sleep on the streets or any way,
bat the landlady would not allow it, and
Jim had to take berth on the carpet, away
from bis weeping bride, for the third night.

A PILLAR OF FRE.-At Cosseir, the fol-
lowing remarkable phenomena is described:
The residence was q stones throw from the
sea. Conceive my astonishment and sur
prise, upon repairing thlther, on fret enter
ing, to gaze on the exquisite beauty of the
waves, and to watch the sun, which was
just emerging from the bosom of the water,
to see the latter, instead of rising in its cir
cular form, assume that of o pillar OF fire
positively doubted the evidence of my
senses, and could hope to believe but that
| find the ancients, Agatbarchdes In par
tioular, have mentioned the same phenom-
ena upon these coasts, where they observed
the sun rise like pillar of fire. Lord Va
lentia, also noticed similar appearance at
Mocha, where he saw it set in like manner
We subsequently, saw it assume an elougat-
ed but never again so completely columnar
a figure. We could but think of the pillar
OF fire, which for forty years gave light to
the Israelites in the wilderness. The color
of the Red Sea here was of the most exquis-
ite blue imaginable, far exceeding in beauty
the boasted hue of the Mediterranean. The
breakers had u peculiar vivid aud lively
wilderness, which, by contact, added greatly
to the azure main ; but, though, | could
have gazed Tor hours, it was TOO dazzling
to permit me to do so with impunity. Mrs

PEASANTS SONG OF WINTER.
ny JAMES LINgy.

nv JANEs LiNES.
Autumn has fed, and Winter is come,
The groves are mute and the birds are dumb;
The winds arc cold ana the skies are gray,
And the weary sun makes short the day.
And the gushing streams and the tiny rils,
That danced aud leapt down the rugged hills,
And meandered through the withered plains,
Are bound in fctters Of icy chains.
Like fragments of robes that seraphs wear
Now the neecy snow fakes Gll the air;
And the crispy earth Is wrapt in white,
And moon nor stars lend now their light.
But SHOWS may drift and the clouds may scow !,
The hail may beat and the tempest howl;
They bring not want TO the PEASANTS door,
Whose thrift has garnered his winters store.
All the 10Y he feels no tongue mny tell.
For love and peace in his cottage dwell;
And he scorns the slave Of base desires,
" hile he lives as lived his honest sires.
Though trees are stript Of their leafy plumes,
And the gardens glow more with blooms,
Oh the little snow-dr0p, sweetly chaste,
Win blossom soon ON the honry wastel
Warm suns will shine, and the soft winds blow,
And rivers swell with melting snow,
And the daisies soon again be seen,
And the teeming fields be clothed in green.
Torpid Nature into life win spring,
The orchard bloom and the skylark sing;
While the swallows back again will come,
And the woodlands be no longer dumb.
The bees will steal from their coistered cells,
40 gather sweets from tie cups and bells,
And the dreary mountains joyful be,
When nature is set from Winter free.
So the changing seasons come and 90,
While the springs Of life still onward flow;
And faith an d hope cheer the PEASANTS end,
When the chilling dews OF death descend.
He knows when his earthly race Is run,
That the golden prize of life is.won;
lie goes TO a better land than this,
10 traverse fields Of eternal bliss
