TO A GIRL.
BY GEO. ID -PRENTICE.

The echoes-of thy song,
Young minstrel girl, have fallen on my heart
And answering thoughts, fair and gentle thron:
To life and being start.
Thy music is boon
That bushes my worn spirit to It's sleep,
And soothes it in its stunt er as the moon
The surges of the deep.
A soul of fire is thine,
Thou art a new star mounting in the sky,
Whose beams, in its meridian hour, will shine
Brightly on every eye.
May heaven forever shower
Its blessings on thy spirit pure and true,
As the calm evening sheds on leaf and flower
Its soft and holy dew.
God keep thy soul from gloom,
And may thy life, with joy and beauty blest,
Bear like some tropc stream, freight of bloom
Upon its placid breast.
May no bright hope e'er spring
Within thy heart to perish unfulflled,
And 1nay'st thou never feel thy spirit-wing
By autumn tempests chilled.
Oh, may'st thou e'er remain
As Joyous and as beautiful as now,
A song-bird pouring forth her richest strain
From beings loftiest bough.

MAYSVILLE,
A SONG.

Think not can one moment forget thee
Let memory blot one bright page of the past,
Ofthe vision that first in my dreariness met me-
And around nv lone shadow its radiance cast.
Ahi no, like the sunlight that breaks in the
morning,
Like the first breath of air in the window at
dawning,
Like the rosebud that opes to the summers soft
warning,
Will the vision of thee in my memory lastl
And yet there times when the curtain ofsad-
Will drop for while round my lghtness and
mrth;
see thee the same in thy beauty and gladness
AS that star did that happily shone at thy
BIRTH
see thee some high mountains summit ascend
ing,
Thy arms toward the blue arch ofheaven entend-
ing,
The hues of thy robes with the golden clouds
blending,
While in obscurity grope through the earth
Then fill not thy beautiful eyes with reproaches
Nor chide the poor bankrupt for being in debts
But think when tear on his eyelid encroaches,
'Tis pleasure that prompts it, and not regret,
No, not a regret that he has known thee,
Nor sorrow for love that he sometimes has
shown thee;
But that, knowing and loving, he never
thee,
And knowing that, still he never forget,

A GooD JoKE.-A few days since an extra
rain loaded with jackasses was transported
S'ver the Louisville and New Albany Rail-
ooad. The telegraph operator at Salem, a
rboy. getting wind of it. sent a rumor that
Governor Morton, of Indiana, and Gov.
Yates, of Illinois, accompanied by large
delegation of Republicans. with hands of
music, ETC., would pass through at a certain
hour. Immense crowds of enthusiastic Re-
publicans repaired to the depot, hats in hand
ready for the expected cheers. When the
train thundered in, an aged and venerable
owner of pair of fabulous ears stuck his
head out of a stock and gave vent to long
agonizing hee-haw that fairly shook the
hills around; CONSERVATION seized the crowd
and in two minutes not Republican was tc
be seen within a mile of the depot. Com
plant has bsen made to the Superin tend en-
against the operator, and he is in momen-

The MCNEIL MAssAcRE.-One of the
features of the Mcneil murder in Missouri
is SO cruel that it deserves especia! remem-
brance. 1t is related as follows:
'One of the victims selected by Men ell
was a man who had a wife and several chill
dren, dependent altogether upon his daily
labor for their support. A young man
knowing the condition Of the family, offered
himself to Mcneil as substitute for the
husband and father, was accepted. and was
one of the ten who were shot,
History furnishes but few such noble acts
as the one recorded above. No laurels won
at the cannon's mouth can com pare with the
cool. calm heroism of this poble youth who
voluntarily gave his life to restore to help
less wife and children husband and father.
and save them from being thrown on the
cold charities OF a heartless world. Who is
there that would not rather fill his grave,
rebel though he may have been. than wear
the gilded uniform of the butcher Mcneil,
whose soul is stained with the blood of tn is
noble man and his nine i'll fated comrades?
The mothers of the land will teach theil
children to cherish and honor the name and
thu deed of the one who gave his life as an
act of humanity, and to hate and scorn the
butcher fiend whose bloody inhumanty has
scarce a parallel in civilized countries.

COMPOSITION FOB LEATHER.-One of the
very best compounds known to US for rem
f1eripg leather boots aud shoes almost per-

keeping them soft and pliable, is composed
of fresh beef tal!ow, half an ounce, yellow
bees wax, one ounce. and one eighth OF an
ounce of shellac. Melt the tallow first and
then remove all the 70 embrane from 1t; add
the bees-wax in thin shavings ard when 1t
is melted aud combined with the taiiow'
add the sh ellac in powder and stir until it is
melted. Bees-wax IS one Of the best known
preservatives of leather. This compound
should be applied warm to the boot or shoe
and the soles should receive similar appll-
cation to the uppers. In using it rag or
piece of sponge should be employed, and
the boot or sho, held cautiously before the
fire or stove until the compound soaks into

the leather too close to the fire. If the boot

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
New Eng land Patriot Otism-The Way the
West was Diddled.

New England patriotism is of rather
windy character. This is, perhaps, to b.
expected in country whose prod ductive en-
ergies are so largely devoted to the multi
plcation of lawyers, preachers, members oi
Congress, and travelling lecturers on the
'isms' and the 'ologies' Before the wal
began, and since. New England has been ex-
ceedngly brave in words, and could the re-
bellion have been put down by that species
of ammunition, its ashes would, long ago,
have been trodden beneath the heels of
, Yankee sentence weavers and rhetoricians.
But New England patriotism is in action
| rather slow than otherwise. Governor An
drew, of M Massachusetts, told the Secretary
of War, in a letter of extraordinary bravery,
| that, if the President would only proclaim
Abo lition, the roads would swarm with the
| sons of the Bay State rushing to the field of
! action. The President has proclaimed Abo-
| lltion, but the roads have not swarmed. In
Boston the draft proceeds in this: the Com
mlssioners meet, draw one man, and adjourn
over. How loog it will take to produce the
promised swarm at this rate is a question
for the professors of mathem matics.
In Connecticut the result of the draft, as
paraphrased from the recent message of the
Governor, is as follows:
of 4,212 men drafted in that State only
76, and 142 substitutes, were mustered in,
and of these 81 deserted, leaving 1877 as the
net result of draft of 1912 men,
What honest, sincere, stupid fools we
were-we the people of Ohio. and Pennsyl-
vania, and Indiana, and Illinois! We
thought, when the President called for
about one-third of our remaining able bodied
men to go to the slaughter-pens Of Tennessee
and Virginia, that he wanted them. We
supposed we were under some sort of obi
cation to see that they were collected and
forwarded. And what exertions and sacri-
fees we made, half hiring and half forcing
our fellow citizens to leave their homes and
families to go and be shot at in Southern ra-
vines and die of the pestilence in Southern
marshes!
We were green-the greenest people un-
der the face of Heaven. How we bowed
under the rod th at was holden over our heads
by the blackguard press of a worse than
blackguard Notwithstanding our
very breaths lest a word might slip out
which would be construed into discourage
enlistments. while the very e-blood of the
community was being drawn out to fight
this New England war: for the war of ped
dlers of tin and peddlers of the Gospel, of
travelling lecturers and writers of Abolition
hymnbooks and almanacs!
They are sharper people at the East. liv-
ing nearer sunrise. The Aboliton Governor
of New York gravely tells the President
that the Empire State is unable to supply
its qnota. and the President as gravely sits
down under it. There is nothing more to
be said. Connecticut and Massach husetts fol
low suit; and the fact only creeps out through
some act of official incontinuepce. There is
food for whole volume of ref ect;on in th ese
facts and we commend them to the people

An Attempt to Arrest a Democratic
Editor in Illinois.


Of the 18th, contains an account of an at
TEN pit which was made in that place to ar
rest the editor by military authority, whic
attempt failed. The editor says:
1--WE give the Alton accounts of the at
tempt to arrest us on last Friday morning
the 9th inst, and, as neither of the account.
are entirely CORRECT. it is our purpose here t.
make known to the people exactly what was
said and done upon the occasion ! -
We may premise that an attempt to max,
such an arrest was entirely unexpected by US
because the Administration had publicly an
n 'unced. in the Reports of Secretary Stan
ton. that no more would be made. While
writing upon the Presidents Message, about
ten o'clock that morning, we perceived &
civilian and Lieut.. with sword and pisto
about entering our sanctum. They entered
when the following events took place:
Bob Smith-That is Mr.. Dobelbower
Sir! (and turning more to ourself) this is
Lieutenant ones. from Alton
'Editor-Good morning. gentlemen. (not
knowing Bob Smith) walk in and take a
seat.'
They both advanced to the stove, tn e
warming his hands. Then turning to me,
be said:
"Sir, you arc my prisoner
'Editor-Have you a warrant for my ar
rest Lieutenant?'
Bob Smith-We lost the paper on the
way up!'
'Lieutenant-I forgot to bring them, sir,
but am directed by Col. Hid ebrand. who
has orders from General Curtis, to arrest
you. and must do it.
'Editor-lf you have warrant from
even justice sir. wllquietly submit. but
if, as you say, you have no papers, ] will
resist this illegal arrest to the last!'
Here my pocket pistol. little plaything,
weighing seven ounces, were drawn and
cooked. The Lieutenant, making no dem
onstration, we turned to Bob Smith, and
said:
You are Bob Smith, think, who inform
ed on Barnard! He assented; and imme-
diately left! We then stepped to the door
and made an alarm. Almost instantly a
party of our friends advanced. When we
quietly introduced the Lieutenant as fol-
lows:
Gentlemen, this is Lieutenant j ones, from
Alton, who says that he has instructions
from Colonel Hildebrand and General Cur
tbs to arrest me, but has no papers!
'One of our friends, as we were going out,
said:
Sir, you can make no arrests in this place
without papers!
with this we moved on out the door, but
when about fifty feet from the house. on
turning, behind the Lieutenant alone, ad
vancing toward US shaking a revolver in his
hand. We advanced toward him, cooking
our pistol and bringing it little up. He
said:
L don't mean to do any thing. sir. don't
m can to do anything! 1 merely drew my
revolver to get from them fellows up stairs!
we still advancing toward him and our
Office. Immediately replied:
thing either.'
Then replacing our little plaything, we
returned to our office, when our friends ad
vised US to retire for while.!which we did.

MARRIAGES IN FEUDAL TIMES The law
of England was not exactly similar to this,
although sufficiently barbarous to deserve
the execration of all who respect the privil-
eges of woman. 1t was lu crative mode of
extortion, even down TO so far as the days
of Charles I, both with the crown and the
inferior nobility, to sell their wards in marr-
age. This most barbarous custom gave to
the Lord of the manor the right of tender
ing husband to his female wards. while
under age, whom they could not reject with
out forfeitng the value of the marriage; that
is, without forfeiting as much as any one
chose to offer the guardian for such an all-
ance. And the larger the property Of the
ward the larger the value of the marriage.
Thus, our fair readers will perceive that in
those days of chivalry and honor, of knight
ly feeling and romantic generosity: when
lances were set in the rest to uphold the
beauty of an eyebrow maintain the per-
fection of an ankle; when tn e Queen of Love
and Beauty presided over the tournament
held in honor Of the ladies; in those chivario
times they were bought and sold like cattle
and men made blanks and prizes of them in
the lottery of life.-Sixpenny Magazine.
