The Broken BUcKLE.-You have read ia
history OF that hero, who, when an over
whelm.ng frrce was in full pursuit. and all
his followers were urging him to a more rap
id fight, coolly dirmounted to repair a Jaw
in his horses harness. While busted with
the broken buckle, the distant cloud sweeps
down in nearer thunder; but Just as the
prancing hOofs and eager spears we're ready
to dash upon him, the flaw was meuded
and like swooping falcon be had vanished
from their view. The broken buckle would
have left him on the field, dismounted and
ingioTious prisoner; the timely DELAY sent
him in safety back TO his busting comrades.
There is in daily life the same luckIess
preeipi'aney, and the same profitable DELAY.
The man, who, from his prayerless awak-
ening, bUunces into the business Of the dav.
however good his talents anu great his ali.
isepee, is only galloping upon a st eed bar.
messed with a broken buckle, and must not
marvel if in his hottest haste or moot baz-
ardous leap, he be left ingloriously in the
dust; and though it may occasion some lie.
tie delay before hand, his neighbor is wiser
who sets all in order before the march be,

Spring diseases.

Any housekeeper would be considered
demented who would keep up as fierce a
fire on the hearth in the spring as in mid
winter. On the contrary, as the DAYS
grow warmer, less and less fuel is used
until the fire is not kindled at all. One of
the two main objects of eating is to keep
the body warm and it need not be argued
that less warmth is required in summer
than in winter: but if we eat as heartily
as the spring advances as we did in cold
weather, we will burn up with fever, be-
cause we have made too much heat. The
instincts of our nature are perfectly wond
derful. To our shame is it, that we not
only do not heed them but oppose them,
fight against them with an amazing fatu-
ity. As the warm weather comes on, we
are all conscious Of diminution of appe-
tite, and we either begin to apprehend we
are about to get sick, OF set about stimu.
hating ourselves with tonics and bitters.
and various kinds of teas, with view to
purifying the blood. How many swills of
sassatrastea has the reader taken to that
end No such publications would be
needed, if we would follow natures in
stincts, and eat only with the inclination
| she gives us, instead of taking tonics to
make us eat more, when we actually re-
! quire less.
Observant persons have noticed that as
| spring comes on, there is less relish for
meats of all kinds, and we yearn for the
early spring vegetables, the green's the
salads, the spinnage, the raddishes, aud
the like. Why? Just look at it Meats
have more than fifty per cent. of carbon
or the heatforming principle. Vegetables
and berries have ten per cent, five pei
cent, one per cent. of heat! Potatoe.
have eleven per cent, turnips three pei
cent, gOoseberries only one.
Literally, incalculab.e are the good re-
suits which would follow practical atten
ton to these facts. Those who. are wise
will take no tonics for the spring, will
swallow no teas to purify the blood, mol
imagine themselves to be about getting
sick, because they have not in May a.
vigorous an appetite as in December, bu
will ut once yield themselves to The gui-
dance of the instincts, and eat not an atom
more than they have an inclination for t,
the end Of joyous spriDg-time and {
summer Of glorious health while those
who will eat, who will stimulate the stom-
ach with tonics, and force their food
must suffer with drowsiness, depression
and distressing lassitude; and while al
nature is waking up to gladness and new
ness OF life, they will have no renovation
and no we'll springs of joyous and exuber
ant health.

How TO PRESERVE THE TEErH.-The
mouth is avery warm place-9S degrees
Fahrenheit. In this northern climate we
never have temperature so high, in the
shade. Even at ninety, beef will begin to
decompose in twenty four hours. The
particles of beef and other food which are
lsft between the teeth at dinner, begin to
purify before dinner the next day. If you
pick the toeth, the odor Of the breath ties
tifes to decomposition.
With this management we ought not to
be surprised that the gums and teeth should
become the lject of disease.
LIST. Use the tooth pick (goose quill)
after each meal. Follow with a mouthful
or two of water, to remove tho particles the
tooth-pick may have left behind.
I'd. Every morning. on rising, use the
brush aud eastile>soap.
With these simple things thoroughly
done, you will preserve the teeth to an old
age.-LeUiS Neio Gymndsium.

Hail gentle Spring with zePhyrs mild!
Thou art the sweetest, loveliest child,

Come show thy ever-smilipg face,
And with each soft attracting grace

Spring, gentle spring. We meet thee
With sounds Of loving joy,
And all cur bosom's greet thee,
without one fears alloy.
Thy bloom anticipating,
We drink thy gentle breath,
While winters frosts abatipg,
Release the flowers from death.
Sweet Ger the hills we feel thee
And in the valleys play,
Tho chilly nights conceal thee,
Tie noon asserts thy sway.
The ice-bouBd slieres releasing,
Thou openest every stream,
Whose rushing floods increasing,
With merry spirits TEEN.
Thy soft power pervadins,
The heart Of man excites,
While from his mind, unlading
Cars. burden true Delights
Hope in his soul is springing
ExuIffngly above.
And with the birds Is singing
Thy songs Of peace and love.
So Winter go ithy,reign Is DER,
Go visit Greeniand's ice bound shore, es
Thy own con genial sphere;
But thou, 0 Spring. with ol'en arms.
We greet thy bright transctndent charms,
That grace the yernal year.

why She Never Told Her Love.

Could il be virgin bashfulness
That still concealed the tender thought
Or fear she might perchance confess
A love that was not sought
Was it mere womanly capricel
Or pride! or maidcnly Teservei
Was it respect for mental peace!
Or merely want ofnerve!

The SHELBINA AFFAIR-The st. Louis Re
publican of the 9th, reported the capture at Shell
bina of arkansas regiment, by the rebels under
Martin Green. 1t is an erroneous report. A Kan.
sas regiment was attacked at Shelbina, on the
4th, but retreated by cars to Macon City, where
they joined Gen. Hurlbut. They lost one man
(wouuded.) They lost, however, considerable
baggage and some horses.
A Macon City correspondent Of the ST. Loui,
Democrat says:
General Hurlbut had telegraphed them
early in the engagement, to hold their ground
one hour and a half. that he would be to th.ir
relief. The General had his men all aboard
the train at A. NJ, at Brookfeld, and made
the rapid rtm of forty miles in eight hours, reach
ing this place at P. NJ, when he stopt the trair
and found some secession whisky imbbed
freely, as usual. and stayed till the boys got iu
from Shelbina. So those who thick the Gene
raj is still entrenched behind a lot of beer bar
rels at Kirksville, will see they are laborine
under a mistake"

TIE PRlvATEER SuMrER.-A letter was re
ceived by the Government yesterday, Stain g
that the privateer Sumter sailed boldly into
the harbor at Trinidad on the thirtieth July,
and reported herself to the authorities of the
island as being on cruise. She landed eight
passengers in a destitute condition, whose
wants were supplied, and they were to be
shipped to the United States. The Sumter re-
mained there until the fifth of August and was
allowed to supply herself with coal and other
necessary outfit. There was perfectly ami
cable feeling between her officers and those Of
the British war vessel Cadmus. The British
flag was heisted on the British Flagstaff for hel
arrival.

VISIT OF A PHILADELPHIA DELEGA-
TI)N TO THE SECRETARY OF WAR.
Their Visit to the President.
Philadelphia to be Fortified.

A delegation Of the citizens of Philadelphia,
consisting of Morton McMichael of the North
American, II. G. Carey, Chas. Gilpin, and six
or seven other influential gentlemen, arrived in
Washington on Monday evening, and yesterday
morning they called upon Mr.. Secre ary Cam
eron and were cordially received at bis private
residence. The object of their visit was to
procure from the Government the services OF
| a competent engineer to make q reconnaissance
Of the approaches to Phi ladelphia by land and
water, with view to the erection of tortidca
tions for the better security of the city. Upon
stating their business to Mr.. Cameron, that
gentleman said that he had already responded
to the request of the Mayor of Philadelphia
made to him on the same subject, and had
already dispatched an engineer to Philadelphia
as suggested. He had not had time, however
to report himself to the Mayor Of Philadelphia
before the delegation left.
Mr.. McMichael thanked Mr.. c. most cordially
in behalf OF himself and fellow citizens for bis
| promptness in the matter. The Secretary, in
reply, said that he had only discharged his
duty; and it would always afford him great
pleasure to do all that he could for that city
the metropolis Of Pennsylvania, and the heart
Of the Keystone State. He was glad that they
bad come on here, Notwithstanding that the
prircipal object of their visit had been antici.
pated.
| INTERVIEW WITH THE PRESIDENT.
Mr.. Cameron then conducted the delegation
to the White Iouse, and introduced them to
the President
Mr.. McMichael addressed the President, in a
few words, saying that it afforded them great
pleasure to meet the Chief Magistrate Of the
nation. He said the citizens of Philadelphia
were true to the cause; and that while they
were TO man devotiog their energies to sus-
tain the Government, their own business was
reviving, and afforded strong indications that
in nearly every branch of trade, there would
be more activity during the present autumn
than they have had for several years past.
The President replied, that he was happy to
hear OF the loyalty and the prosperity of that
city. He was strengthened by these assuran.
ces Some might doubt his abilty-he doubted
1t himself-to answer public expectation, in
carrying out the object of the Government.
But they need have no doubt OF his sincerity
The only thing he had to complain of was the
faultlinding spirit of the press, in some cases.
as manifested against the Government. They
were too impatient. He was resolved to do
his duty, and he had confidence that every
other department would do theirs as we'll. And
if all others would do SO, we would soon be
able to turn our guns upon the common enemy,
instead Of firing into each other

THE ACCIDENT ON THE NORTHERN CENTRAL
RIrLRoAp.-Last nights mail brings us the de.
tails of this accident some notice of which we
gave yesterday. II seems that two or three
cars were filed with detachment of the Ira
Harris Cavalry, Of New York, under Colonel
Fitzpatrick, aud that when about seventeen
miles this side Of that city, near Cockeysvlle,
the axle of one of the cars broke, causing
nearly the whole train 10 be thrown from the
track and killing four Of the soldiers instantly,
mortally weunding three, and wounding less
seriously eight or nine Others. During the ex-
citement pr .duced by the accident, It was al
legged that the engineer had purposely caused
the catastrophe, when the soldiers, led on by
their half-witted commanding officer, made a
rush for him with q view Of taking his life. He
however contrived 10 effect his escape, not be.
fore several pistol shots were fred at him, one
of the balls passing through his hat, and just
grazing his scalp.
Among the killed was Edward L. Lyon, a
nephew of the late Brigadier General Lyon,
the wheels Of the cars having passed directly
over the centre of his body, literally cutting
him In half He was quartermaster sergeant
Of the regiment His body was sent from Bal.
timore to the North for interment.

Death or = Rem,,h,b,, wom,,.

Mrs Abigail Stafford, patriot mother of the
good old Puritan and revolutionary stock, died
at Trenton, N. ] the 9th ut.,, aged ninety
tive years. Her remains were deposited be-
side those Of her husband, the. late James B.
Stafford. lieutenant In the army Of the rcvolu-
ton of l776.
Mrs Staiford's great length of life exceeding
that OF our Republic, whose ind pendence che
personally aided in achieving, lie very remark
able; but the incidents of her life and the historic
assoc ations connected with II, are stil more
remarkable. She was descended from distin-
guished parents and grand parents. Her grand.
father, Epbraim Bacon, of Needham, Mass, had
five sons and five sons-in law 10 the memorable
fight at Lexington, in 1775. He was the guide
of the troops to Concord on the 10th Of April.
Her father, Henry Smith, Of Natick, was wound
cd in that engagement, and two of her unces,
viz: Lieutenant John Bacon and Jonathan
Smith, were killed by the British on that day.
Her father was near relative of Rev. William
Smith, whose daughter, Abigail Smith, was
married to the venerable President John Ad
ans. Their son, John Quincy, afterwards Pres.
ident of the United States, was friendly ard
influential in obtaining pensions for her father,
having been for over four years soldier in
the war, and having died eventually Of wound
received at White Plains, and her husband, who
served In the navy, being also entitled to a
pension.
Mrs. StafIord's early patriotic feelings ard
exertions were manifested on several occasions.
On the night Of the engagement, although a
child about ten years old, she was active in
calling out the farmers for several miles along
the road leading to the mastering of the min.
ute men. aud was occupied part Of the time in
making bullets out Of the pewter plates which
were then and have been within The memory
Of the writer in common use in mos. families
instead of crockery. Some Of the bullets, with
the bullet mouljs, arc still preserved in the
family OF the deceased, in Trenton, as well as
two ancient swords, (appareutly old scythe
blades,) kings army muskct, the flg of the
Alliance, and many other relic' of the rcvolu.
tionary struggle.
