PATRIOTISM AND LINsEY.-The ladies at ball

saving it will be to their husbands pockets aid
how matrimony will be promoted in Virginia.
Linsey is good comfortable material to be
clothed in, and the absence of anything rich or
gaudy will give personal beauty a chance over
mere personal adornment. If the Virginia Ia

overcome tyrant whose despotism rules the
civilized world. Let them, then, stiffen their
patriotism and their petticoats with linsey. It
will render them Independent of fashion, indie

WARDRoBEs. Dresden was taken in
1857, by the Prussians, the immense wardrobe
of Count Bruhl, the Saxon Minister, contained
amongst other articles. 1900 wigs, 800 pair of
boots, and 800 pairs of velvet breeches, which
the King of Prussia is reported to have ordered
to be divided among his guard. This maniac of
extravaganza had different habit, with its ap-
pending gold stick, watch and snuff box, for
every day in the month, and lest he should be
so unfortunate as to appear in the costume OF
the day Or week before, regular register of his
wardrobe made its daily appearance at his table,
the dresses being painted in miniature in book.
The rooms of his palace were adorned with the
most costly clocks, statues and pictures; and
even the locks of the doors were nlaid with
gold. Four servants were employed in the
charge of his wardrobe, which was shown to
strangers as curiosity.
The Empress Elizabeth of Russia, whose
beauty was equalled by her coquetry, was so
fond of dress, that her ministers, when they
wished to set aside any project submitted to her,
needed only to bribe her dress maker to spoil
new robe. The catalogue of her wardrobe
filed thick quarto volume. Of the then fash
ionable mantles, 1000 were found in it after
her death, according to Bosrisof, who saw this
catalogue.

'DoDGE THE Big Ones" "a gentleman re
lates an anecdote of the Mexican war, which
has never been published:
'sWhen the American army was forming line
for The battle of Buena Vista, Gen. Lane was
siding up and down the line of his Indiana reg
iment. The Mexicans had stationed some small
guns on a neighboring height, which were blaz-
ing away most furiously on Gen. Lanes regi-
ment But, as their guns were badly aimed, the
balls in every case passed over their heads, but
sufficiently near to cause the men, as they heard
the peculiar whiz of the balls, to involuntarily
duck their heads.
ssGen. Lane happened to notice this, and in
his rough, stentorian voice he bawled out:
"Indiana regiment! No dodgngl'
''In about FIVE minutes after. the tremendous
whiz of a twenty four pound shot passed close
by the head of the gallant brigadier, and in ar
instant involuntarily he bobbed his head The
men saw this, and commenced a tittering along
the line, which the old General saw. Turning
around with sort of quizzical expression, ht
thuudered out:

How Strange.

How Strange.
BY FLORENCE PERRY.
How strange it will be, loye-how strange, when we
Shall be what all lovers become
You frigid and faithless-I cold and untrue
You thoughtless of me, and l careless of you
Our pet names growing rusty with nothing to do
Loves bright web unraveled, and rust and worn
through,
And life's loom left empty--ah hun
Ah me,
How strange it will be-
How strange it will be when the witchery goes,
Which makes me seem lovely to day;
When your thought of me looses it's couzeur de
When every day serves some new fault to disclose
When you fud have odd eyes and every day nose
And wonder you could for moment suppose
| was out of the commonplace way
All, me,
How strsnge it will be
How strange it will be, love-how strange when we
meet
With just chill touch of the hand!
When my pulses no longer delightedly beat
At the thought of your coming, the sound of your
feet;
When l watch not your going, far down the long
street
When your dear loving voice, now so thringly
sweet,
Grows harsh in reproach or command
Ah me,
How strange it will be!
How strange it will be, when we willingly stay,
Divided the dreary day through
Or, getting remotely apart as we may,
Sit chilly and silent with nothing to say,
Or coldy converse on the news of the day
In wearsome, old married folks sort of way;
shrink from the picture-dont you?
All, me,
How strange it will be!
Dear love if our hearts do grow torpid and old,
As SO many others have done
If we let our love perish with hunger and cold
If we dim all life's diamonds and tarnish it's gold
| If we choose to live wretched and die unconsoed,
Twill be the strangest of all things that ever was
told
| As happening under the sun
All, me-
| How strange it aUiW be

How the Lion Woos his Rr;de.

Let us first sketch the story of the Lions life
beginning with his marriage which takes
place towards the end of January. He has first
to seek his wife but as the males are more a.
bundant than the females, who are often cut off
in infancy, it is not rare to find a young lady
pestered by the addresses of three OF four gal
lants, who quarrel with the acerbity of Jealous
lovers. 1t one of them does not succeed in dis
ablng or driving away the other Madam, i'm
patient and dissatisfied, leads them into the
presence of an old lion whose roars she has ap-
precated at distance. The lovers fly at him
with the temerity of youth and exasperation-
The old fellow receives them with calm assur-
rance, breaks the neck of the first with his ter
rlble jaws, smashes the leg Of the second, and
tears out the eye of the third. No sooner is the
day won ard the field clear than the lion tosses
his name in the air as he roars, and then crouch
es by the side of the lady, who, as reward for
his courage, icks his wounds ca-essingly.
When two adult lions are the rivals, the en-.
counter is more serious. An Arab, perched in
tree one night, saw q lioness followed by a
tawny lion with full grown name; she lay down
at the foot of the tree, the lion stopped on his
path and seemed to listen. The Arab then
heard the distant growing of a lion, which was
instantly replied IT, by the lioness under the tree.
This made her husband roar furiously. The
distant lion was heard approaching, and as he
came nearer, the lioness roared louder, which
seemed to agitate her husband, for he marched
towards her as if to force her to be silent, and
then sprang bae,; to bis old post, roaring def
ance at his dstant rival. This continued for a.
bout an hour, when black lion made his ap-
pearance on the plain. The lioness arose as if
to go towards him; but her husband guessing
her intention, bounded towards his rival. The
two crouched aud sprang uron each other, roll
ing on the grass in the embrace of death.
Their bones cracked, their flesh was torn,
their cries of rage and agony rent the air, and
all this time the lioness crouched and wagged
her tail slowly in sign of satisfaction. When
the combat ended, and both warriors were
stretched on the plain, she arose, smelt them,
satisfied herself that they were dead, and trot-
ted off quite regardless of the uncomplimentary
epitaph.
This, Gerard tells us, is an example of the
conjugal fidelity of my lady; whereas the lion
never quits his wife unless forced, and is quite
pattern of conjugal attentions Westmainster

sTAUNToN, VIRGINIA, TUESDAY, JANUARY II, 1860


HYDRopHoBIA IN DoGs-The symptoms are
chiefly as follows The first is marked change
in his temper; the naturally cheerful dog be-
coming waspish and morose, and the bold fond
ling pet retreating from his masters hand as i
it was that of a stranger. On the other hand 6
shy dog becomes bold; but in almost every case
there is total change of manner for severa
days before the absolute outbreak Of the attack
which is indicated by kind of delirious watch
ing of imaginary objects, the dog swapping at
the wall, Or if any thing comes in his way, tear
ing it to pieces with savage fury. With this
there is constant watchfulness, ard sometimes q
peculiar hollow howl, while at others no sonnd
whatever is given, the case being then described
as ''dumb madness" Fever is always present,
but it is difficult to ascertain its extent on &C
count of the danger of approaching the patient,
and with this Gin contradiction to the name by
drophobia) there is invariably an urgent thirst,
which the dog is in such hurry to crafty that
he generally turns over the vessel containing the
water. Mr.. Grantley Berkeley maintains very
strongly that no dog really attacked with the
rabies will touch water, and that the presence
Of thirst is clear sign of the absence of this
disease; but this opinion is so entirely in oppo.
sition to the careful accounts given by all those
who have witnessed the disease, when it bad
nnquestioDably been communicated to man or
some of the lower animals, that no reliance
ought to be placed upon it, especially where so
important a stake is involved. Mr.. Youatt wit
messed more cases OF the rabies than, perhaps, a.
ny equally good observer ever did, and be
strongly insists upon the presence of thirst, as
may be gathered from the concluding portion of
the following extract 1--WE only takea portion
of the long extract from Youatt.) 1.-THE increas-
ed secretion of the saliva soon passes away. 1t
lessons in quantity it becomes thicker, viscid,
adhesive, and gutinous. 1t clings to the corner
of the mouth, and probably more annoyingly SO
to the membrane of the fauces The human be-
ing is sadly distressed by it, he forces it out
with the greatest violence, or utters the falsely
supposed bark Of dog, in his attempts to force
it from his mouth. This symptom occurs in the
human being when the disease is fully establish
ed, or at late period OF it. The dog furiously
attempts to detach it with his paws 1t is an
early symptom in the dog, and it can scarcely
be be mistaken in him. m."-Ihe Dog.

A BRAVE SoLD1ER.-The Constitutional gives

A BRAVE SoLDER.-The Constitutional gives
the following anecdote of the late war in Italy
During the battle of Magenta the combat was
exceedingly severe round the railway station, and
as the French regiments advanced, men were
busily employed in removing the wounded, fear
ing that if their comrades should by chance be
obliged to fall back the men lying on the ground
wuold be trampled under foot. An officer per-
ceived soldier on his knees near his musket,
busily employed in binding up his head with a
handkerchief, having received thrust from a
bayonet which had passed through his cheek
and entered his left eye. The officer asked him
what he was doing, and seeing that be was bad
ly wounded, told him to go to the ambulance
"To the ambulance!" said the soldier, "and
why?" "Because you have lost your eye" said
the officer sYes," said the soldier, s'but the
other is still good" at the same time pointing
his musket to show that he could still take aim.
In quarter of an hour after, the railway sta
ton was in the hands of the French. A ball
fired by the Austrians struck in the arm of a
French soldier who was climbing up to one of
the windows and he FELL The same officer ran
and raised him up. "Ah, is that you, Captain 2"
said the same soldier, "thank you; but the ras-
Gals have broken my arm" ''Yes," said the Of
icer, shave you not had enough of it now ?"-
The soldier did not for a moment reply, but af-
ter taking up his musket he said, with smile,
1T is only the left, Captain, the other is still
good" and he again hurried to the combat
This captain went on also, and in few moments
again saw him fall down from shot in the
breast. "Poor fellow" said the officer, leaning
over him. The soldier heard his voice, and
with dying accents said, "Oaptain, you must not
be angry with me, for if had left the field two
other men would have been hit, whereas in my
case it makes no great matter, as my time was
evidently come." And the poor fellow, falling
back, expired. 1t was the officer who told the
story, and in his turn was killed at Solferino.-
Such is the fortune of war.

Postmaster General Holt has reoently decided
an interesting and novel question. A husband
who bad been separated from his wife, demand
ded that his village postmaster should deliver
her letters to him, threatened suit at law If
bis demand was not complied with. The
wife on the other hand, forbade the delivery of
her letters to the husband. In those circum-
stances the postmaster applied to Mr.. Holt for
instructions. That officer pronounced the claim
by the husband too preposterous to be seriously
he says, it is as abhorrent to
law, as it is to the christian civilization of the
age-and he directs the postmaster to deliver
the letters to the wife.

A CONCLUSIVE REPLY.-In reply to some Abb
olition nonsense on the part of the New York
Tribune, the Express says it can put up with,
on earth, the presence, in its own country, of
100000 of black slaves,-when our Saviour, in
his short pilgrimage upon the same earth, abided
and preached obedience for 60, 100000 of slaves
in the Roman Empire, of which He was sub
ject, and to which He publicly owned that sub
lection. We do not assume to be men, s'better"
than He was, or to inculcste higher gospel
than He preached.

PULPIT NOTICES Nothing in the way of
practical Jokes has amused US SO much for some
time as dog notice that was given at the Or
thodox Church in Lancaster on Sunday. 1t may
serve as a burlesque on advertising all sorts of
things from the pulpit. a notice was sent to
the sexton-doubtless with the intention of
having it but posted on thei1eetlng house-whlch
some mistake he was Led topass over to the
minister. The officiating clergyman happened
to be stranger, and when be came to read the
notice he hesitated somewhat, but, after pre-
face to the effect that being a stranger he did
not feeel at liberty tc declne reading what was
given him, let off as follows;
sAn owners of dogs are notifed that if the
same are not registered by tae first Of May they
will be killed according to law"
