A MoTHER's GRAvE.-Earth has some
sacred spot where we feel ike lossening the
shoes from our feet and treading with holy
reverance where common words of rever-
ence are uniting place where friendships
hands have fingered in each others, where
vows have been plighted, prayers offered
and tears of parting shed. ., how the
thoughts hover around such places, travel
back through immeasured space TO visit
them. But of all the spots on the green
earth, none is so sacred as that where rests,
waiting the resurrection those we once
cherished and loved. Herce, in all ages,
the better portion of mankind have chosen
loved to wander at evenlide to mediate and
weep. But among all the charnel houses
Of the dead ii there is one spot more sacred
than all the rest it is a mothers grave.
There sleeps the mother Of our infancy
the friend of our youih-the counsellor Of
our riper yeai ais-our friend when others
deserted us ; she whose heart was a strang-
er to every other feelingbut love, aud who
could always find excuses for us when we
could find none for ourselves. There she
sleeps and we love the very earth for her
sake.

F1tEs OF If76-The cackting Of d
goose is tabled to have saved Rome from
the Gauls, and the pain produced by
thistle TO have warned q Scottish army of
the approaching Danes but we never
heard that flies contributed to hasten Amefa
ican Independence till we read the follow
ing anecdote in Randall's Life Of Jeffer-
son -
While the question of Independence was
before Congress, it had IFS meetings near d
livery stable. Its members wore short
breeches and silk stocking, and with hand
kerchief in hand, they were diligently em-
ployed in lashing the flies from their legs.
So very vexatious was this annoyance, and
to so great an impatience did it arouse the
sufferers, that it FASTENED, If it did not aid
in inducing them to promptly afiix their
signatures to the great document which
gave birth to an empire republic
The anecdote / had from Jefferson, at
Monticello, who seemed to enjoy it very
much, as well as to give credit to the iufu-
ence Of lies. He told il to me with as
much gee, and seemed to retain vivid
recollection of the severity of an attack,
from which the only relief was signing the
paper and flying from flies.

Extra PoLIrr.--The silly euphemism
Of "lady" for "wife" has pretty nearly gone
out of fashion. Probably il first arose from
such phrases as Lord \. h. and his lady,"
much as one often speaks Ut a king and his
queen.n But "iady," "iemale," .young per.
son." have pretty nearly driven out the plain
word "woman," which by the light Of ma
mre, we should have thought me- ded eu-
phemisIic substitute very much less than s'fe.
male" Perhaps thr two very oldest eu-
phemi-ms which VIC have ever heard Of, came
in two sermons preached at the time OF the
Irish famine. In one, preached in a uni-
versity pulpit, the divine talked about ''that
esculent which has recently iailed.' Now,
it Moses and the prophets could talk
straightforwardly about leeks, and onions,
and cucumbers, why on earth should not an
English clergyman talk straightforwardly
about potatoes The other instance was
more eccentric still. The preacher told his
flock that he had himself been in ireland,
and that the wretchedness of the people was
SO great, that he had, with his own eyes,
seen a woman yoked to plow "along with
an animal which decency forbade him 10
mention" His hearers were sore puzzled.
What animal is there, especially what ami
NAL at all fit for drawing n plow, which de-
cency forbds any one to mention! There
| is, indeed, noisome insect which may only
be mentioned under the most general terms.
There is also quadrupcd, whose female
form requires the most delicate circu mlocua
tions, though the male is presentable by
ma me in the best society. But the woman
could hardly be supposed to be yoked with
LADY, ~ though had the sermon been
preached in America, il would have been
quite possible to imagine her yoked with q
genteman-cow." Some ingenious person
suggested pig as an unclean beast; yet
the mention of pig is not commonly look
ed on as a breach of decency. At last the
beast so delicately voiled turned out to be
IA donkey. But why decency forbade the
preacher to mention an animal which GER
tainly fills an honorable place in both the
Old and New Testament, is, like DR.. John.
sons custom of collecting orange-peel, one
OF those problems whose depth can never
be pierced by anything short OF the inquisi'

OsIGIN OF SKEpapDJE." a CORES
pondent of the Albany Evening Journal
says -
"The word skedaddle" is not derived
from the Greek verb Skedoo, 70 scatter, as
has been recently asserted by certain learn
ed etymologists. The root of "skedaddIe is
found in the Gaelic, Celtic, and the ancient
British or Welsh language. In GAELIC,
I" Sgiotadh" IS the present particple from
the verb :. Sigot," and signifies scattering,
the act Of scattering. In the Irish, which is
properly speaking the Geltic, g Sgadad'
signifies fight, and uile or oil, all, or entire-
Iy, fight. In the Welsh we have ~lsudao,"
or Ysgudaw," to scud about. So, also, in
the Scandinavian languages; in the Swe-
dish we have "Skuddo," 10 throw or put
out Sceoian," Saxon, to fee or haste a.
way, in general sense. 10 be driven, or to
fee with haste. Skedaddle" might be de-
rived more naturally from skud or scud and
dsddIe then from the Greek "Skedaes'

LIABILITY OF FOREIGNERS TO A DRAFT.
Inquiry is made as TO the liability of for
eigners TO draft. The following principle,
says the Philadelphia Ledger, may serve to
guide those interested -
First The foreigner who has not thrown
off nationality is, of full right and without.
any possible dispute, exempt from any and
every obic alton to perform military duty,
no matter how protracted his residerce in
the Uni'ed States.
Second--The children of these foreign
ers, even if born in the Unitsd States, nee
essarily follow the condition of,heir parents,
and cannot be compelled TO assime the title
ami obligation of American citizens. unless,
upon attaining their majority they shall, by
acts of their own, have laid aside the ma
tiohality Of their family.
Third-Tte abduction Of the original
nationality ca;l result only from formal nat
ura!iza,ion, or the exercise Of the rights of
tue American citizen. Those. who, having
made declaration Of their intentions 10 be-
come American citizens, stopped there, have
in uowise lost their position as foreigners.
Fourlh-The son Of naiuralised for
eigner Is American of full right, if he be
born after such naturalization.
Fifh-Br; if he he born presious TO il,
and particularly il born in his fathers form
er country, retains the right to choose be-
tween the two Daiicnalities, at the period Of
his majority.

ThE Dolls MIssIoN.-The doll is one
of the most imperious necessities, and at
the same time one Of the charming instincts
of female childhood. To care for, TO adorn.
to clothe, to dress, to undress, to dress over

How Two YoUNG SEcEsH LADIES
WERE SERVED IN PhILLIPPf.--Phillip-
pi, July 2Sth. Some time since the flag
belonging to Co. X, of the Sixth Vir-
ginia Regiment, (stationed at this place,)
was torn in several pieces by two girls Of
the secesh persuasion. Their names are
Miss Helen Capito and Miss Annie Me-
Cluskey. As soon as it was found out that
they were guilty of this abominable piece
OF vandalism, they we're arrested immedi.
ately and placed under guard by Capt.
Reese, and were NOT permitted to enjoy
their liberty until they were willing to take
the oath Of allegiance to the United States
Government and the restored government
of Virginia, give bonds in the sum Of $500
each for their good behavior in future, reA
pair the flag they had injured, and present
it to the company as it was, with a suitable
apology for their rude conduct All this
was strictly enforced by Capt. Reese, and
the ladies, after repairing the flag as it was,
in the presence of the company presented
it to them, and at the same time made an
acceptable apology. The majority Of the
people of Phillippi and vicinity heartily
concur in Capt. Resse's plan, and think
that our flag viii hereafter be respected in
this place, even by Its enemies, or at least
as long as Capt. Reese's men remain heres

The ntill-wheel's frozen in the stream,
The church Is decked with holly;
Mistletoe hangs from the kitchen beam,
To fright away melancholy;
Icicles cling to the milkmsid's pail,
Younkers skate in the pool below,
Blackblrds perch on the golden rail,
And hark, how the cold winds blow.
There goes the squire to hoot at snipe,-
Here runs Dick to fetch log
You'd swear his breath was the smoke OF pipe,
In the ffosty morning fog.

AN INCIDENT AT THE EVACUATION OF
FaEDERIoKsBuRG.-T correspondent of
the Times says:-
On reaching headquarters, at the Lacey
House, Fredericksburg, ! found all the
tents he'd been struck, the ambulance and
army wagons were hitched up, officers hor-
ses were all saddled for start, and every
thing betokened decided mouement. In
the midst of this scene General Burnside
was observed walking leisurely to and fro,
dispatching orders to the different regi-
ments, and watching in calm silence the
movements of the various commands. 1t
was Indeed an hour of deep interest and
concern TO him.
For days and nights he had watched,
with sleepless vigilance, every movement of
our own and the enemy's forces, as they
affected his own position, and something of
WEAKNESS could be detected in his usual
elastic step. AT this juncture poor wom-
an, with three lovely children clinging to
her side, came up the hill and passed
through the gate, bringing, each of them,
some little article of household furniture
The quick eye of the General Immediately
recognized her as an excellent Union lady
of Fredericksburg, who was escaping, with
her children aud little effects, from the
town. "Have you anything else down to
the bridge. Madam 2" asked the General
"OGly bed and few small articles, sir," "
she timidly answered. "Send down the
ambulance, wagon.master, and have them
brought up and carried to the depot'' was
the Generals orders and it was done. In
few minutes the poor widow bad the pleas
ure of seeing all her remaining goods safely
deposited on board the cars for Aqua creek.
