this Borough had his leg broken, under the
following circumstances Mr.. W. and the son
were engaged in drawing stumps on heaps for
the purpose of burning them. Having hitched
to a large one with long root attached; and
as the horse passed over a small run rapidly,
the stump rolled and threw the root round
with great force, which struck the boy on the
leg and fractured both bones short distance

lady requested us to call attention to the fact,
that our soldiers in the service of the country
would soon require supply Of woolen socks.
The autumn and winter weather being near at
hand, this suggestion is worthy of attention;
as no doubt, supply Of good wooIlen socks
will be the means of preventing much suffer-
ing. Gov. Moore of Alsbama made this the
subject of a special proclamation; urging
each lady in the south to knit a pair Of socks
for the confederate army. Within the last
week We have seen notices in several of the
county papers of this State, calling upon the
ladies' 10 furnish one pair OF socks each, for
the use of the Union army. We know that
ing in this respect; neither will they be be-
hind their noghbors, in showing that they
have as much regard for the comfort of sur
brave men, as the ladies OF other sections
have for those who have gone from their midst.

Monody on Senator Douglas.

Weep for Columbus noble son,
The Statesman-patriotl lieth low,
The laurel wreath he justly earned,
Is glist' ming with the tears of woe;
Quenched is the mighty mind that made
Each heart with love of Freedom glow.
Ye Democrats no more his voice
Shall rouse you with its manly tome
No more his burning eloquence
The artful traitors scheme dethrone;
My native land bright shine thy stars,
Though thou mays not DOUGLAS own.
Our Unions Champion, fare thee well,
Thou frmest in our hour Of need,
No more thou'lt stay the rebel throng,
Whose murd' 'rous stabs made Freedom bleed
No more thou'lt blunt strife's sharpen'd spear,
Or bid Disunion's hordes " take heed"
Ring out thy plaint oh solemn kncll-
Speed Fame across the surging wave
Bear on the mournful tidings-say,
How Freemen mourn above his grave;
Ay furl our Flag in crape-and write,
DoUGLAs-forever wise, and brave.
Thou Star of hope /! to which men turn'd
For counsel in this havoc dire,
When Traitors rend our States apart,
And threat the land with sword and FIRE;
While Carnage rears its Hydra front.
And brothers war in savage ire;
No more thine eloquence shall plead
In our Republics sacred cause
No more thy soul inspir'd defend
The Constitution and our Laws,
Weep Freedom weep! thy Chieftain' fall,
Who ne'er would in thy service pause.
For thee brxve heart, the strife of earth,
It's envy, and its pangs, are Ger;
But still thy words shall speak to men,
While Freedoms Stars and Stripes shall soar ;
And may that glorious banner wave
Till Natures self shall be no more.

Chinese View of Dea tn.

There is ore thing in the Chinese charac-
ter more striking than the apathy with which
they undergo Affections. or the resignation
with which they bear them. There is SO
much elasticity in their disposition that the
most opposite changes in their disposition
have but little effect A coolie can admirably
ape the dignity of the mandarian when pro-
moted, and disgraced official or ruined
merchant who had formerly lived in luxury
appears to little regret the change they have
undergone. There is no fear of death among
them, though they have character of cow
ardice. 1t is true that they have the relics
of the dead constantly before, their eyes. The
country is covered with graves, and in many
places about Shanghai the cofins are openly
exposed in the field They are even kept in
their houses till a propitioas day arrives for
the burial, months passing by sometimes
before the body is removed. When the cof-
fin is decayed, the bones are carefully gath
cred; and in a country walk one very often
comes upon jars containing "potted ances-
tors" Money is saved for the purchase of a
coffin, and it is put by for use. The first time
| saw this was in little cottage near Shang-
hal There was an old cobwebbed coffin In
the corner. asked young lad why it was
there, he quietly pointed with his thumb over
his shoulder to his grandmother, standing
close by him and said it was for her. She
was very old, and was nearly wearing out-the
coffin before she was put into it. At funerals
females are hired to do the 'inconsolable
grief part of the performance. 1t seems very
ridiculous that such a custom should be kent
up when it is known by everybody that the
mourners howl for hire. They certainly
work hard for their money, and their piteous
means would be heart rending if they were
real.-Twelve Years in China.

This story made great noise at Baden thai
year. Helen could no longer doubt, and
Gaetan was banished from her memory with
contempt and horror. Six months after she
married captain in Her Majesty's Guard,
who, if he did not know much else, certainly
did not know how to be frightened, and
couldn't have..been forced to resign her by
all the pistols that ever were made. Sir
William was serenely satisfied, and kept bis
own counsel from Helen. That, however,
did not prevent his telling the story to male
friend or two some years after.

Verdict of a Jury of Boys.

When DR.. Nathaniel Prentice taughtpublic
school in RoxburY,. he was very much a ia
vorite; but his patience at times would get
very much exhausted by the infractions of the
school rules by the scholars. On one occa.
sion, in rather wrathy way he threatened
to punish with six blows of heavy ferule,
the first boy detected in whispering, and ap-
pointed some as detectors. Shortly after one
of these detectors shouted
master, John Zeigler is whispering!"
John was called up, and asked If it was
fact. John by the way, was favorite both
of his teacher and schoolmates.
EYES, answered John. Il was not aware
what was about. Twas intent on working
out sum, and requested the one who sat
next me to reach me the arithmetic that con-
tained the rule which wished to see."
The doctor regretted his hasty threat, but
told John that he could not suffer him to
whisper or escape the punishment, and con-
tinued
"I wish 1 could avoid it, but cannot with
out forfeiture of my word, and the conse-
quent loss of my authority. WILL" he
continued, "leave it to any three scholars
you may choose, to say whether or not omit
the punishment"
John said he was agreed to that, and i'm
mediately called out q. s., L. d., and ID. r.
D. The Doctor told them to return verdict,
which they soon did latter consultation) as
follows
1.-THE masters word must receive the
the threatened six blows of the ferule but
it must be inflicted on voluntary proxies
and we the arbitrators, will share the pun
ishment, by receiving each of us, two of the
blows"
John, who had listened to the verdict, STEP
ped up to the doctor, and. with outstretched
hand exclaimed ::
Master, here is my hand; they shan't be
struck blow l will receive the punish
ment.
The doctor, under pretense of wiping his
face, shielded his eyes, and telling the boys
to 90 to their seats, said he would think of
it. believe he did think of it to his dying
day, but the punishment was never inflicted.
