The old Guard,

The Pittsburg Gazette says: During
the past Presidential canvass, the old
Wing party was distracted and divided,
and many of its members sought re-
fuge in the ranks of the so-called Dem
ocracy. We learn by the following
from the Lancaster E!rami,aep that our
old party friends in that county are
returning to their former party associa-
tons. a
'"The Chicago nominees are doing a
a glorious work in the 'Old Gaurd,
already. Old line Wings who, in mo-
ment of kindly, neighborly feeling con-
sented to go for Mr. Buchanan in 1856
are on all sides falling into line in sup
port of the brave Whiglchampion in
arms, Abraham Lincoln. The signs of
the times argue well for an d-fashion-
ed majority of five or six thousand in
Lancaster county, no matter who is
nominated as the Democratic candi-
date"

The Age of EgyDG.

Leonard Horner,a an English engineer
has been trying to discover "the age of
Egypt" by counting the number of earth
layers made by the annual overlooking
of the Nile. Mr., Horner's researches
were made by sinking a number of shafts
ninety,tive in all, across the Nile valley
nearly in a line with, and crossing the
site Of the ancient city of Helopolis. In
every case the alluvium was found to
be regularly divided into lay ers, and
the average of many measurem ents in
dictated that the rate of vertical increase
of sediment was about three and one
half inches per century. One of these
shafts, in particular, was sunk close to
the great monolithic statue of Rameses
IL, at Memphis, and it was found that
there were nine feet four inches ofNile
sediment between eight inches below
the present surface Of the ground, and
the lowest part Of the platform on which
the statue stands.
Now this statue has been determined
by Lepsius and other Egyptian scholars
to have been erected 1851 years before
Christ and this date, added to 1853,
gives therefore, 3218 years, during which
the above mentioned depth of sediment
accumulated; rate Of increase in stric-
accordance with the results of the meas
urements above alluded to. Below the
platform of stone on which the statue
rests, the shaft was driven thirty-tw
feet but the lowest two feet consisted
OF sand, thus leaving thirty feet of true
Nile sediment in an undisturbed condi-
ton below the foundation.
AT the base Of the sediment. or at a
depth of thirty. nine feet four inches
from the present surface of the ground.
fragments of pottery were found in a
good state of preservation, and exhibit
ing some considerable artistic skill. AL
lowing, now, that the thirty feet of sed-
iment covering these remains (below the
platform of the statue) were deposited
at the rate of three and one-half inches
per century, we have in the fragments
OF pottery record of the existence of
man 1880 years before A. D.. 1858.
1850 years before the Christian era,
$500 years before the commencement
of the reign Of Menea as assigned bv

OF civilization sufficiently advanced to

BIaspheREay and Death.

The Fort Madison Weekly PLAIN
Dealer, of the 18th, reports a somewhat
extraordinary case Of lasphemy and
sudden death that occurred near Farm
ington, Van Buren, county, few days
previous. A farmer living there, while
talking to a neighbor, about the dry
weather, began an outburst of the most
terrible plasphemy, using the vilest ep-
ithets toward the Almighty, and the
Saviour, because he did not send rain.
The man was going on in frightful
language, when all at once his jaws be-
came palsied, his tongue became pow
erless, his voice ceased, and he fell on
the earth corpse.

About Calico.

There is good deal of good sense in
the following eulogy on the "Departing
influence of Calico" from the Sacra-
mento Age, which deplores almost with
an Addisonian grace, the luxuriousness
OF modern female dress
When we look into the thorough
fares, alas we see no calico! Silks and
all its half sister fabrics glide along
some dazzling, some queer, some splen-
did, some fantastic-but none have the
sweet, clean, fascinating, elegant ap-
pearance of the calico which used to
skip by, with pretty slippers in it,
There are those who mourn over little
things-the dropping violet, the strick-
en- bird, the broken rattle box, the fading
rose, the dying kitten, the n.spoiled
bonnet; but we mourn for exalted, ami
mated, small figured calico Silks,
trailing through the dust, have lost favor
IN our eyes fancy dry-goods are as
unattractive as tattered awnings, and
every costly thing of feminine apparel
no longer surpasses the Lindsey home
spun gowns of old. Nations spring
from the wilderness, then moulder in
to decay; cities are built in barren pla-
ces, expand awhile, and waste away !;
men from obscurity rise to fame and
power, then gather disgrace and neg
lect; the rich grow poor and the poor
grow rich; the high sink into ignoble
graves, and in the multitudinous variety
Of things there are mighty movements
and mighty changes. We are, there
fore of the opinion that the article of
calico has had its day ofglory, also, land
is not so much in use as it used to be.
Where is the man who willnot promptly
say that the handsomest object he ever
beheld was being clad in a handsome
piece of calico? He can't be found
Masculine eyes are the eyes for feminine
grace to please. Jewels and toys, and
the richness of silks, captivate no man
Of sense or taste, and add not a charm
to nature, but calico heightens, and
brightens, and softens, and makes a
fellow feel good when he sees it. And
besides, it costs wonderful sight less. -

Soap Studs for Currant Bushes.

A writer in the Indiana Farmer says
/ have found the cultivation of cur
rants to be very profitable. BY careful
attention | greatly increased the size of
the bushes and of the quality of the fruit.
My bushes are now about six or eight
feet in height and are remarkably thrift
ty. The cause of this large growth, 1
attribute in great measure, to the fact
that I have been in the habit ofpouring
soap-suds and chamber I've around the
roots during the summer season. 1 am
satisfied from my own experience and
that of some of the neighbors, that this
treatment will produce most astonish-
ing effect upon the growth and product
of the bushes, and would advise others
to give it a trial.

She dream'd-a maiden young and fair
With sunny smile and sparkling eye,
Unused to grief or gloomy care,
She wept no tear, she heaved no sigh.
She dream'd of womanhood and love;
OF costly gems, of lovers trre,
Of pleasure, happiness and mirth,
OF cloudless skies of azure blue.
A few short years had come and gone
An aged woman as she slept,
Dreamed of her childhood Ger again,
And as she dreamed, she sadly wspt.
She dream'd of joys long pass'd away,
Of youthful friends long gone to rest,
Ofbroken vows and loves decay;
Sad retrospections fill'd her breast
Youth fancies that elysian joys
Are with the mystic future fraught;
Old age has learned that youths fond dreams
Are vain, Elusive, end in nought.
Indulge your hopes, dear, sunny youth,
These pleasant hours will soon be DER,
Lies stern realities will haste too soon,
And bright eyed childhood come no more

Two Minute Sermons to the Girls

Ladies-eaged birds Of beautiful plu-
mage, but sickly looks-pale pets of
the parlor, who vegetate in an unheal-
thy atmosphere, like the potato germi-
mating in dark cellar, why do you not
go out in the open air and warm sun
shine, and add luster to your eyes, bloom
to your cheeks, elasticity to your steps,
and vigor to your frames Take morn
ing exercise, let loose your corset strings,
and run up the hills for wager, and
down again for fun roam the hills,
climb the fences, leap the bitches, wade
the brooks, and after day of exhilara-
ting exercise and unrestrained liberty,
go home with an appetite acquired by
healthy enjoyment. The blooming and
beautiful young lady--rose- checked and
bright eyed who can darn locking,
mend her own frocks command regi-
iment of pots and kettles, feed the pigs,
milk the cows, and be lady when re-
quired, is the girl that young men are
in quest of for wife. But your pining,
screwed-up, wasp-waisted, doll-dressed,
consumption mortgaged, music murder
ing, and novel-devouring daughters of
fashion and idleness-you are no more
fit for matrimony than pnllet is to look
after brood of fourteen chickens. The
truth is, my dear girls, you want less
fashionable restraint and more liberty
of action; more kitchen and less parlor;
more leg exercise and less sofa; more
pudding and less piano; more frank
ness and less mock modesty. Loosen
your waist strings, and breath in the
pure atmosphere, and become some
thing as good and beautiful as nature
desloned

Foam OrrOW.

Did we but know what lies beyond
This varied, shadowy path we tread,
How often would our souls despond,
Our eyes the tears of sorrow shed
But God, who knows what's best to do,
Who sees us from his starry throne,
Has wisely hidden from our view
That which had best remain unknown.
We walk today in conscious pride,
And hang the flag of hope on high;
But, an tomorrow by our side
Some friend may lay him down and die 4;
Some early flower that won our praise,
Some altar where we laid our trust;
Such flower, ere dies the evening rays,
May trampled be, ana laid i'll dust
Youth dreams of many glorious things,
As on he HES in pie asure track
Each day some new born promise brings,
lie turns no eye Of sorrow back;
The tl0wery fields are all before,
His eyes on some bright star are set
Life is to him a sunny shore,
He'll learn 1t has Its shadows yet.
Tomorrow in its secret shade
Little know what is for me
l may he with my fathers laid,
Or wrecked on dire mistortune's sea.
But far beyond liie's boundry lives
The everlasting army bright
And he alone who takes or gives
Can guide nay wandering feet Alright.

A Case of Sympathy.

ry, Jones and Smith would occasionally
get on a spree, and their frolics were
often protracted until late in the night.
Their pleasures on such occasions were
frequently damped by the thoughts of
their wives at home, who like Tam

their wrath too keep it warm.
One night after having kept up their
frolic until late hour, they returned
home, when Colonel Jones found his
wife waiting for him with a counter
ance that foretold storm. The Col

before an enemy, quailed before the just
indignation ofhis better half Instead
of going to bed, he took seat and rest

Trial Trip of the First Locomotive.

Major Horatio Allen, the engineer of
the New York and Erie Railroad, in a
speech made during the recent festival
occasion, gave the following account of
the first trip made by locomotive on
this Continent
"When was it? Who was it =? And
who awakened its energies and direct
ed its movement ? 1t was in the year
1928, on the banks of the Lackawaxen,
at the commencement of the railroads
connecting the canal of the Delaware
and Hudson Canal Company with their
coal mines-and he who addresses you
was the only person on that locomotive.
The circumstances which led to my be-
ing alone on the engine were these =
The road had been built in the summer;
the structure was of hemIock timber,
and rails of large dimensions notched
on caps placed far apart. The timber
had cracked and warped from exposure
to the sun. After about 800 feet of
straight line, the road crossed the Lack
awaken Greek on trestle work about 80
feet high, with curve of 355 to 400
feet radius. The impression was very
general that this iron monster would Ell
ther break down the road or it would
leave the track at the curve and plunge
into the creek. My reply to such ap-
prehensions was, that it was too late to
consider the probability of such occur
rences; there was no other course than
to have trial made Of the strange ami
NAL, which had been brought here at a
great expense but that it was not nee.
essary that more than one should be in.
volved in its fate that I would take
the first ride alone, and the time would
come when should look back to the
incident with great interest.
AS l placed my hand on the throttle
valve handle, l was undecided whether
[ would move slowly or with fair de-
gree of speed but believing that the
road would prove safe, and preferring,
if we did go down, to go handsomely,
and without any evidence of timidity, /
started with considerable velocity, pas
sed the curve over the creek safely, and
was soon out of hearing of the vast as
semblage. At the end of two or three
miles l reversed the valve and returned
without accident to the place of starting
having thus made the first railroad trip
by locomotive on the Western hemis-
phere.'
