THE DYING SOLDIER.

On the bloody field OF Lstile,
Lay soldier, young aud brave,
Loudly pcaled the deadly cannon.
Hurryirg thousands to the grave
There he lay, that poor, young soldier
Weak and faint, he gaspcd lot breath.
Thoughts Of home and friends came o'ci
him,
Oh, how could he welcome dcathS
Fast the red life bl,od was iloving,
pnllid grew his lips and brow -
Cold his limbs. his pulse more feeble,
Human aid was rovotlcss nowl
Up he raised his head, and wildly
Gazcd around him in despair
Friends and comrads none were nigh hin
Must he die without a proy,rr
No! There came fellow comrado
10 the dying soldiers side
Bending DER him, soft he whispered,
For YOU, "Christ, the Savior died."
Fray to him. he waits your coming,
In the better world above
Brothcr-comradc, he will hear You,
He's God Of tender love.
Then the dying soldier f.ltcesi-
II is we'll, f,el him near,
All my sins he has forgiven,
And know no doubt or fear,
Now before leave you, comrade,
Listen to my last request;
Ere these eyes shall close fcrcvor
Ere this aching heart fluids rest.
Take this picture to my mother,
Tell her, that her dying son
In deaths last. long, fearful hour,
Tried to say, "Thy will he dohe"--
Tell her fought long and hravcly,
Fought, my native land to save,
That, although We won tie vct'ry,
Her boy won u soldiers grave.
When I think ofmy poor Mary,
Then almost pray for life
Ere Spring came, hoped 10 call her,
BY tha precious name Of wife
Gud will bo her aid and conCort,
He will stay her brokcu heart;
Soon he'll bring her to II haven,
Where wen never, never pant.
Tell my friends, oh, comrnlo tell theml
That when dying here alone,
My snd heart yearned to behold them,
Pined to breathe the air of home.
Tell my mother that missed her.
As faint and wounded lay,
That her boy would rain have kissed he
Ere from earth he passed away.

A CHANCE FOR WOMEN.

In the South of France the raising of flowers
for their perfumes is extensive business. Over
a million of dollars is annually expended for this
purpose, and 100000 pounds OF orange flowers,
100000 pounds of rose blooms, 10000 pounds of
jasmine blooms, 10000 pounds of violets, $4,000
pounds of acacia buds, 10000 pounds of tuberose
flowers, are annually consumed. The mode of
extracting the perfume from the flowers is by
sandwiching them between layers of beef or NUT
ton fat, and, thus imprisoned, the odor is safely
transferred to any part of the globe. The fat
when it reaches the manufacturing perfumer, is
cut into slices and macerated in pure spirits of
wine, with which the odor combines. The cost
of some perfumes will be inferred when we state
that wine glassful Of the oil Of jasmine is worth
S45, and to obtain 4 single drachm Of the otto of
roses at least two thousand blooms are required
Our purpose, however, is not to expose the mystic
ries of the perfumer's art, but to suggest that
women who have CONTINGENCIES could turn a
penny, and employ their leisure hours profitably
in raising flowers for their perfumes Mr. Septi-
mus Piease, a manufacturing pcrfumer Of London,
says he would buy any amount of heliotrope
pOmade, and this is the way to get it. The only
piece OF machinery necessary is glue pot, which
is in fact water bath. The details Of the process
he gives as follows:
"At season when the flowers are in bloom
obtain a pound Of fine lard, melt the lard and
strain 1t through a close hair sieve, allow the
liquid fat as it falls from the seive to drop in cold
spring water; this operation graduates and washes
the blood and membrane from it. In order to
start with perfectly nodorous grease, the melt
ing and graduating process may be repeated
three or four times, using pinch of salt and a
pinch Of alum in each water; il is then to be
washed five or six times in plain water; finally,
re-melt the fat and cast it into pan, to free it
from adhcring water. Now put the clarified fat
into the glue pot, and place it in such position
near the fire of the green house or elsewhere
that Will keep it warm enough to be liquid into
the fat throw many flowers as you can, let it
remain twenty-four hours At this time strain
the fat from the spent flowers, and add fresh ones
repeat this operation for week; we expect at the
last straining the fat will have become highly per-
fumed, and, when cold, may be justly termed
Pomnaodc n /" ho/iofrope. To turn this pomaLe
into extract fit for the handkerchief, all that
has to be done is to cut the pcrfumed fat into
small pieces, drop it into a ide-mouthed bottle,
and cover it with highly rcctifcd spirit, in which
it must remain for week. When strained off,
the process will be completed"
In this manner every flower of the garden may
be turned into genuine extract, and the lady
who takes the trouble to perform the operation
may be sure that she possesses perfume which
money cannot buy from the best pcrlumcrs in the
metropolis.

AN ExACTING HUSBAND.

Wychery, the comedian, married young girl
Of eighteen when he was verging on eighty.
Shortly after Providence was pleased, in its mercy
to the young woman, to call the old man to anoth-
err and better world. But ere he took his final
departure from this, he summoned his Young wi fe
to his bedside, and announced to her that he
was dying; whereupon she wept bitterly. Wycher-
ly lifted himself up in his bed, and gazing with
tender emotions his young and weeping wife,
said My dearest love, l have solemn promise to
exact from you before l quit you forever below.
Will you assure me my wishes shall be attended
to by you, however great the sacrifice you may be
called on to make? Horrid ideas Of suttees, of
funeral pyres with the bodies of their deceased
lords and masters, flashed across the brain Of the
poor young woman.
With a convusive effort and desperate resolu-
ton, old Wychery's young wife gasped out an as
Surance that his commands, however dreadful
they might be, should be obeyed. Then Wycher-
ly, with CHASTITY SMILE said, in low and solemn
voice, "Aly beloved wife, the parting request |
have to make OF you is-that when [ am gone
(hcre the poor woman sobbed and cried most vehe-
mently )-when | am in my Geld grave Mrs
Wycherly tore her hair)-when | am laid low
(the disconsolatc wife roared with gref)-when |
am no longer heavy burden and tie on you
60, for heavens sake, exclaimed Mrs. Wycher-
ly, what am | to do?) [ command you my dear
young wire-(said the old dying comedian -on
pain of mourning my malediction, never to marry
an old man again" Mrs Wycherly dried her
eyes and, in the most fervent manner promised
that she never would; and that faithful woman kept
her word Tor life.

DANCING.

The Richmond Wing makes some sensible re-
marks on dancing-rot in opposition to the anuse-
ment in the oid-lashioned style, but against the
vulgar, new-fan2led imported practices, the hugg-
ing, squeez ne and whirng process. Ii says:
off we ust dance, let us confne ourselves to
the old fashioned, decent and respectable dances
the eotilliOn aud the like. Heaven save us from
the "round Dances, IS they are called-the loah-
some products Of Trurcnt French taste. We
regret extremely to hear that these round dlnces
are becoming all the rage at fashionable parlorS
and at the big hops at the great hotels. Words
cannot express our hesitation and adherence If
these dances They ought not to be tolerated in
the Confcdcracy. The GIRL who dances them ought
to take tlamlet's advice to Ophclia-''get thee to
nunnery.' They will do well enough for the
rampinS female animals of Yankecand, but they
ought to be secuted by every pure minded aud re-
fined Southern lady.
We know that the advocates of these shameless
dances will throw in our teeth the old adage. "cv
to him who evil thinketh." \ suspected Cyprian
might do the same thing. These dances are utter
ly dis9 listing. They are disgrace to respectable
society. They seem studiously devised to prompt
the worst suggestions and sensations TO say
that tie wraggling, worming, whirling, squirming.
bobblng up and down motions Of these dances are
grossly indecent, Is to say the very least of them
No good man can look at them for the first time
without being shocked; no good women without
feeling her check tinglc with the scarlet flush of
terrible shame, Only when the frequent repet-
ton Of them has dulled the natural scnsibilites.
can they be viewed with anything but disgust
There is very simple test by which the round
dances and all other amusemcnts of young people
may be tested in regard to their decency. Are
they proper and permissible in private? What
father would like to catch his daughter dancing the
Polka IN the arms of young man when by them

before witnessed the filthy spectacle would not
kick the young man out of doors. aud send the
