Nails IN THE FLEsH.-To prevent the
torture Of the nail running into the quick,
keep the nails of proper length, and about
once q week scrape them down to the ends
with piece of glass. This will keep them
thin, and instead of, in walking. teing
driven back into the quick. they will give.
One who for years endured this torture
has found entire relief by this practice.

SONG OF THE FORGE.
rive give below the ''sOng of the Forge" spirited
and powerful poem. 1t was Grst published in Black
woods Magazine. many years ago, and has been thu
rounds Of the press two or three tmesl'
.CAng. clangl the massive anVils ring
Clang clangi a hundred hammers swing;
Like the thunder-rattle Of q tropic sky,
The mighty blows still multiply;
Clang, clangi
Say brothers of the dusky brow,
What are your strong arms forging nowf
Ciang, clangl-we forge the coulter now
The coulter Of the kindly plough;
Sweet Mary mother, bless our toll;
May its broad furrow still uubnd
To genial rains, to sun and wind,
The most bengnant soil.
Clang. ciang--our coulter's course shall be
On many a sweet and sheltered lea,
BY many streamlet's silver tide,
Amidst the song Of the morning birds,
Amidst soft breezes which do stray
Through woodbine hedges and sweet May,
Aloug the green hills side.
When regal autumn's bounteous hand
With widespread glory clothes the land
When to the valleys, from the brow
OF each respondent slope, is rolled
A ruddy sea Of living gold
We bless-we bless the PLoUGH.
Clang, clangl--agan, my mates, what gso"s
Beneath the hammers potent blowST
Clink. clank-we forge the GIANT CHAIN
Which bears the gallant vessels strain,
Midst stormy winds and adverse tides
Secured by this the good ship braves
The rocky rOadstead, and the waves
Which thunder on her sides.
Anxious no more the merchant sees
The mist drive dark before the breeze,
The st0rm-cOud on the hill;
Calmly he rests, though far away
In boisterous climes his vessel lay,
Reliant on our skill.
Saw. on what sand these links shall sleep,
Fsthoms beneath the solemn deepS
ny Afric's pestilential shore
by many an iceberg lone aud hoaT-
BY many pamy western isle,
BY stormy Labrador
Say, shall they feel the vessel reel
When to the batterys deadly peal
The crushing broadside make replyS
Or else asat the glorious Nile,
Hold graphing ships, that strive the while
For death Or victory.
IIurrah Cling,-chng once more, what glOws
Dark brothers Of the forge, beneath
The iron tempest OF your browa
The furnaces red breathg
Clang, clang--a burning torrent, clear
Aud brilliant, of bright sparks, is poured
Around and up in the dusky air,
As our hammers forge the SWORD.
The sword Ia name of dread; yet when
Upon the lreeman's thigh tits bound,
Whilo for his altar aud his hearth,
While for the land that gave him birth,
Tho war-drums roll, the trumpets sound,
How sacred is il thenl
Whenever for the truth and right
II flashes in the van flight;
Whether In some wild mountain pass,
A that where fell Leonidas;
Or on some sterile plain and stern,
a Marston or a BannOckburn;
Or mid fierce crags and bursting rils,
The switzer,s Alps, gray Tyrols hills;
Or as when sunk the Armada's pride,
It CLEANS above the stormy tide;
STILL STILL wheneer the battle-word
Il Iiberty-when men do stand
For justice and their native land
Then Heaven bless the SWORD

Mr.. Benjamin, of Louisiana, when he left
Washington in February last, transferred
the house which he had been occupying to
the Secretaries of the French legation
The owner of the house, Major MBlIr, Al
Paymaster in the Army, has not been able
to collect his rent since February, AS the
French gentleman contended that they held
the property under lease from Benjamin.
After suudry Yexatious delays, arising
from the immunity from arrest, by which
the members of tue diplomatic corps are
protected, Major M'Blair has recently been
enabled. through the action of the French
Minister, to obtain possession Of the house.
He has also seized the effects of Mr.. Ben
jumin, to the value of several hundred dol
lars. and Tuesday of last week they were
sold mt auction. Among these effects were
several portraits of Mrs. Benjamin, a mar
BILE bust of Benjamin himself, and strange
to tell, n full length portrait of Mons. Gel
| lini, the person with whom Mrs. Ben umin
eloped from New Orleans seJernl years
ago. There was also an elegant service of
plate, and some articles of household fur
niture. The principal portion of Mr.. Ben
jnmin's furniture was sold in May, 1860,
when Mrs. B. returned to Paris. 1t was
most superb, having cost 100000 in Paris
TO which, for packing and trnnsporta-
ton, four or FIVE thousand dollars must be
added to cover its whole cost. The house
occupied by Benjamin was the well known
mansion erected by Commodore Decatur,
in 1910, few months before his death, at
an expense of 500, 900 The whole rent of
the property is So, 900 year.

THH Providence (R. l. Journal Pnb,'
fishes Earl RusselPs recent speech on
American affairs, and is much pleased
with its general tone, but excerpts toehis
remark that be sees no way Of escape from
our difficulties. The journal oegs him to
remember that civil disseusious as fierce
as ours have distracted the nation in
whose councils he now sits, that Bnglsn
soil has been watered with the best oil
English blood in civil wars, and yet nc
would not admit that there is Il want oil
essential unity to day in the Engllsh Peo-
Pile. In how few years after the wars DE-
tween Cavaliers and Roundheads were the
+r,oo. of their contests obliterated. We
fnllv believe that the same result will be
sssn here. If our armies could to-day
take possession of the chief places in
the South, so that there could be
free expression OF opinion on the part
of those who would choose to sus-
tain our government, and the old channels
of trade aud intercourse could be fairly
opened, we would by the time that spring
opened see the old order of things substNn-
TALLY restored. We say this, while we are
willing to admit that many men, who held
out as Union men, until long after some Of
the States seeded, arenow in arms against
us. But we find in the very suddeuuess'
with which so many men went over to Sc
cession 10 the general excitement, ground
for the belief that in different state of af-
fairs they may as suddenly turn back to
their old position. 1t is the nature of
most persons to be easily persuaded to join
the stronger or winning side. The plan
tiers are evidently ready to look well at any
fair opportunity for disposing of their
crops and repienishing their exhausted
purses. We may he sure that many of
them wish that they were well out of the
trouble into which they have been hurried.
Let US succeed in our military and naval
work, and we will dispose of the subse-
quent troubles to the satisfaction of Earl
Russell

.Hessrs. Editors of Intelhgrnesr:-In your
Issue of the 29th October last, your cor
respondent from Preston county, in giving
YOU statement of the vote for delegates
to the Convention in that comfy, min
tentionally did injustice to Mr.. Harrison

fact that Mr.. Hagans was not a candidate
for the Convention. Mr.. Hagaus is gen.
tleman of enlarged views, clear headed.
and patriotic, and of Incorporating de-
votiou to the Union and the new State.
The 564 votes he received were voluntarily
cast for him by his ow-citizeus, and no
doubt in consideration of his Jealous efforts
in the June Convention, in procuring the
passage of the ordinance for the new State.
Had Mr.. Hagans consented to have been a
candidate for the Convention, he would
doubtless have been elected by a large ma
jority. His refusal to he candidate was
generous concession to harmonic and
unite the vote of Preston for the new
State LOWER SANDY.

husband Goethe averrcd that he got
married in order to be ''respectabIe." John
Wilkes says he took wife ''to please his
friends" Wychcrly, who espoused his
houSemaid, says he did it "to spite his re

husband, said she wanted somebody to
condole with her for the loss of her first.

get rid of incessent importantly from a
crowd of suitors. Old maids who get
married iuvaria bly, assure their friends
that they thought they could be "more use

nine-tenths of all persons who marry,
whether widows or widowers, virgins or
bachelors, do so for the sake o.-getting

Advertising.

\ correspondent of New York paper
says: 81 note Il curious coincidence touch
ing advertising those who are advertising
the most are selling the most goods. I mo-
ticed the same coincidence in 1857. re-
member various men who in that crisis
saved themselves from failing by extensive
advertising. That expedient brought them
cash customers enough to put them out of
debt. People make the grand mistake of
assuming that in times like these nobody
has got any money, No mistake could be
greater, Money can be had for almost
anything a man has to sell, by extensively
advertising it."
