Silent the lady sat alone:
In her ears were rings Of deadmcn's bone {:
The brooch on her breast shonc white and

Twas the polished joint of "A Yankees spine :;
And the wcll-carved handle of her fam,
Was finger bone of Lincoln man.
She turned aside flower to Gull,
From vase which was made of human
skull;
For to make her forget the loss of her slaves
Her lovers had riAcd dead mems graves.

There are no such things-and I'm not a
fool;
Nor did she reside in AShantcc;

farm is situated near Windsor Castle, about
twenty miles southwest of the city, occupies
one thousand acres, one hundred Of which are
never ploughed and is wooded and sown with
orchard grass, top dressed every four years
with liquid manure. The arabic land is sub
soied every two or three years with four en-
ormously large Scotch horses, driven tandem,
rotation ofcrops much the same as ours with
ont the Indian corn.
Barley and oats are crushed in mill driven
by steam; eighty short horn and Alderny cows
are kept; COW stalls made of iron; iron
troughs always full of water in each stall with
waste pipe to gutter behind them, and thence
TO the manure shed, from which it is pumped
into carts similar to ours for watering the
streets, and sprinkled over the grass; keeps
none but Suffolk and Berkshire pigs; prefers
former on account of their taking on fat; as
one of the swine-herds said "a dale of fat

publishes the following curious details
When at the end Of the last century, the
terrible machine Of DR.. Guillotine made its
appearance, it gave rise to great controversy
among the faculty throughout Europe
The inventor pretended and believed that
death by his instrument was easier than by
any other means, and the rupture Of the
vertebra. the nerves. and all the organs of
the head, killed the whole body at once and
instantancously. Several experiments were
made at Vienna. Some prisoners were to
be executed, and several celebrated medical
men who had already disputed the correct
ness OF the statement of DIR. Guillotine, OBJ

during the execution. and when head had
been cut off it was delivered to them
The first was that of young man. The
ewes were closed, and the tongue protruded.
Eight minutes were allowed to expire, when
the tongue was Tricsed with a pin, when i.
was drawn in and the face made grimsce
indicative of pain. The second head was
that of woman. The eyes were open, and
their supplicatng looks were accompanied
by abundant tears. Fourteen minutes after
the execution the eyes turned toward the
side from whence the woman's name WAS
called. The thiid head was that of The
most guilty OF TIE criminals. A slap was
given TO the face, when the eyes opened,
the face flushed with an indescribabie ex
preston of anger and ferocity, and shud-
der OF anguish was visible on the neck being
touched

These men informed the General that
they came for freedom they said their fell
low servants in other places were all leaving
their masters, and that they wished also to
improve their condition, but that it was not
clear TO their minds how was the best way
to do so. They emphaticaliy said. howev-
err. that they did not intend to labor much,
if they could help it. without remuneration;
aud they conclud their requests and pro-
tess by asking that if they remained peace
ably at home, they might have fair wages

Shepley treated the matter with great con.

He saw nothing in the future 10 justify

adjustment Of the Government of the Con-
sttution and the Union would fail. The
material and physical strength of the nation
las not yet been appreciated, much less ex-
bausted. Not a loyal State, except perhaps
Maryland, exhibits, or has exhibited, the
slightest evidence that the Government was
engaged in a serious war Whenever their
power shall be completely developed, the
rebellion will be suppressed. Il can never
resis. successfully an earnest and exhaust
less of the marvellous power OF the loyal
States. The approaching winter was not

was determined to put forth its strength. -
Numerous exhibitions were on foot that
could not, il vigorously pressed, but be fatal
to the revolted States. He hoped to bear
his share in the hardships and perils of these
labors, and be asked 10 other satisfaction
aud support in the coming trials, as in those
past. but 10 be surrounded and sustained by
such gallant spirits as Massachusetts, had
sent forth 10 battle for the great and imper-
ishable principles of humanity and liberty.
