TIE BLOOM OF AeE.-A good wo-
man never grows old. Years may pass
over her head, but if benevolence and
virtue dwell in her heart, she is as
cheerful as when the spring Of life first
opened to her view. When we look
upon a good woman, we never think Of
her age; she looks as charming as when
the rose of youth first bloomed on her
cheek.
The rose has not faded yet; it will
never fade. In her neighborhood she
is that friend and benefactor. Who
does not respect and love that woman
who has passed her days in acts of
kindness and mercy? We repeat, such
a woman cannot grow old. She will
always be fresh and buoyant in spirit,
and active in human deeds of mercy
and benevolence. II the young lady
desires 10 retain the bloom and beauty
Of youth, let her not yield to the sway
Of fashion and folly; let her love truth
and virtue, and to the close Of life one
will retain those feelings which now
make life appear garden Of sweets
ever fresh and ever new.
TENAoIrY OF LIFE IN THE SNAiL.-
Some snails have been known to live
many years shut up in boxes and
drawers, and even affixed to tablets as
specimens. A Mr.. Simon, of Dublin,
threw a snail in water that had been in
box of speciments for fifteen years,
and it came to life. The men employed
in cutting the "Erie Cana" near Rome
village, sixteen miles west of Utica, in
1922. found several hundred live snsils
forty-two feet deep. in diluvial deposit
How many thousand years they had
been there it is not easy to say. Muller
relates that some snails, from which be
had cut off their heads, lived more than
year in this state without food, crawl.
ing about, and at the usual time, form
ing their water epiphragms. 1t ap-
pears from this that they cannot repro
duce their whole heads, but it is a well
known fact that snails will reproduce
their feet, tentacles, eyes, and even part
of the head, after amputation.

THE VOLUNTEERS BURIAL.

FTis eve; one brightly beaming star
Shines from the eastern heaven afar,
To hight the footsteps Of the brave,
Slow marching to comrades grave.
The Northern winds have sunk 10 sleep;
The sweet South breathes, low and deep
The martial clang is heard, the tread
OF those who bear the silent dead.
And whose the form, all stark and cold,
Thus ready for the loosened mould,
And stretched upon so rude bier7
Thine, seldier, thine, the Volunteer
Poor Volunteer the shot, the blow
OF swift disease hath laid him low;
And few his early loss deplore-
His battle fought, his journey o'er.
Alasl no fond wife's arms earessed;
His cheek no tender mother pressed,
Nopitying soul was by his side,
As lonely in his tent he died.
His deeds and fate shall fade away,
Forgotten since his dying day,
And never on the roll Of Fame
Shall be inscribed his humble name.
Klasrlike him. how many more
Lie cold upon Potomae's shore;
How many green, unnoted graves
Are bordered by those placid wavesf
Hark to their FIRE, his only knell-
More solemn than the passing bell;
For, ah . it tells spirit flown,
Unshsiven, to the dark unknown.
Sleep, soldier, sleep! from sorrow free,
And sin and strife. 'Tis well with thee,
'Tis we'll though not single tear
1smenks the barred Volunteer,

DANIEL WKBsrER II HIS CofFIE.-
We find the following account of the
private funeral of Col. Fletcher Web

trious fathers remains, in this weeks

The tomb at Marshfeld once again
opens wide its portals to receive the
last of the sons of the "great ex-
FOUNDER"
The funeral of Col. Fletcher Web
ster took place in Marsh6eId on Wed
nesday, Sept. 10. The body was
brought down from Boston in richly
caparisoned hearse with four horses, by
way Of bingham and South Shore
Several coaches conveyed his Boston
friends from the Kingston depot. while
q large assemblsge gathered from the
neighboring towns. Rev. Mr.. Alden,
the village pastor, conducted the ser.
vices; the body resting on his fathers
writing table in the library. according
TO bis dying request. A large process
sion followed his body to the tomb,
where the coffin was deposited with
the family whom nation mourns.
By request Of Peter Hsrney, ESQ.,,
and others, the oaken box containing
the great statesman's coffin was opened,
and the metallic cover of the glass re-
moved. How were the feelings oi
those personal friends stirred within
them to find those linesments and fea-
lures which no man ever looked upon
to forget, retaining the same color and
impress-natural as when ten years
ago they gave him up to the grave.
The eyes we're more sunken, but the
heavy shadow beneath the brows were
always there in life. Even in death,
and for decade the captive of a grave,
that kingly presence inspired the same
deep reverence and speechless awe as
when in the living temple of his match

his face again, II forgot all else, and
cannot tell you anything of the tomb
or surrounding objects" The velvet
pail with its rich embroidery was in
perfect preservation, though deprived
Of its primitive gloss.
In silence the lid was dropped and
the box reclosed. Farewell, thou great
departed! Esrth's communion with
thee is Ger. No more shall human
eye behold that face over which thought
and feeling once flashed. the light and
shade Of that "imperial mind" Rest.

DISTRESSING AYFAIR-DEATH OF
MAJ. GEN. WILLIAM NELsoE.-We
have never been called upon to record
a more distressing affair than the sad
termination of an unfortunate difficulty
between Major General William Nelson
and Brig. General JEFF. C. Davis, re.
sulting in the death Of the former, yes
terday morning, at the Gait House,
about 8 o'clock. AS the circumstances
will undergo a legal investigation to-
morrow morning before Judge John
son, we deem itjudicious to make nc
reference to them, for it is impossible tc
reconcile the many contradictory YER
sious we have received, until they are
sifted by the proper authorities. We
may mention. however, that General
Nelson slapped Gen. Davis in the face,
and then walked through the west door
and into the passage leading to the
Ladies' Reception room, and as he turn
ed from there with the evident inten.
ton of going up stairs, he was confron'
ted by Gen. Davis, who discharged a
pistol when within eight or ten feet Of
him. the shot taking effect in bis right
breast. Gen. Nelson reeled little as
be was struck, but walked into the
room next to the parlor, where he was
laid on mattress on the floor, and as
sistance sought for. All efforts were
unavailiug, and he died in fifteen min.
utes after receiving the ball.
General Nelson from the first thought
the wound was mortal one, and ex-
pressed desire to have the Rev. Mr..
Talbot, of Calvary Church, summon
ed. This gentleman resided about
three miles below the city, but was una
bic to get home on Sunday after SER
vice, and passed the night at the Calf
House. He Immediately obeyed the
summons. as he was well acquainted
with the General. The reverend gen
tlemsn informs us that the dying man
spoke no word concerning the difficulty.
and made no allusion to his temporal
ssairs, but. was exceedingly solicitous
Is to the salvation of his soul, and de-
sired Mr.. Talbot to perform the rite
Of baptism and receive him into the
bosom Of the church. After five min
utes' conversation TO ascertain his state
of preparedness, the clergyman assem-
ted to his wish and the solemn ordinance
was administered with unusual impress
siveness in the presence of DR.. MUIR
ray, the medical director, Maj. Gen.
Crittenden. and few other personal
friends. When the service was conclu-
ded. be was calm and sank into his last
sleep quietly, with no apparent phys
ieal pain, but with some mental suffer-
ing. The last audible words that be
uttered were prayer for the forgive
ness of bis sins. That appeal was
made to Almighty God. Let, then,
his fellow-mortals be proud of his many
virtues. bis lofty patriotism and undaun.
ted courage while they judge leniently
Of those faults. which had they been
curbed, might have been trained into
virtues. Let it not be said of our
friend:
The evil that men do lives after them,
The good is oft inferred with their bones.

PORTS CORNER
TWENTY YEARS MARRIED.

Yes, twenty years have winged their fight
Since that mysterious word spoke,
When, on Q beauteous summer night,
first assumed the fovery yoke.
long had craved the blissful chain,
And eheerfnlly subscribed the VOW;
Perhaps I'D do the came again,
Perhaps-thozgh am Older now.
All, well do I reeaIi the time
When she, now pensive by my SIDE,
Stood, in her blushing morning prime
4 tender, sweet, and bashful bride.
And 7, 90 preud Of that dear hand,
Could scarce contain myself for Bliss
I'd bought tract of fairy-lsnd,
And sealed my purchase with kiss-
For hspuiness we trimmed our sail,
Nv darling little bride and /;
Hops's breezes blew pleasant gale,
And gently smiled the summer sky.
The world seemed made for her and me,
All bright wherever We might turn,
Our life to be o tranquil SEA-
Sweet innoeents. we'd much to learn.
For soon did cares disturbing breath
It's baleful influence impsrt,
And bitter sorrow, born Of death,
Oiercast the sunshine of our heart;
But still, a. trouble round us rose,
Each closer, fonder, clung TO each,
Bf4ss'd with the strength Of loves repose,
Enduring sll that grief could teach.
We'd much of Joy, though smsil our sphere.
And craved no more extended fame,
For children made our dwelling dear
Twas wonderful how fast they camel
SThe more the merrier," we said,
And in than every wish was blest;
4 part in our embrace have stsid;
A mouad at Woodlswn tells the rest
Those twenty years have left their trace
Upon her brow, then smooth and fair,
And stolen, some say, the vitehing grace
That once her features used to wear,
But still see the same kind eyes
Beam Cd me with light as true
As when, in loves young paradise,
1 first their inspiration knew.
And I-welI, weIl-we1l let that pass
None more than times changes see,
Each day / shave myself-alast
NV mirror does not fatteF me;
But If I'm changed for worst or best
cannot answer, on my life,
And leave the solving Of this test
To such as choose to ask my wife.
This lesson we have fully learned;
Pure happiness that men have deemed,
Is but o hope soon overturned,
A vision but in fancy dreamed
That all Of happiness below,
Pursuing which the hfe is spent,
In mingled scenes of bliss and woe,
Is measured by the word content.
Though fortune may withhold its smiler
As It has done in time before,
Content shall still our way beguile,
And rest the future landscape Ger.
The future-who its tale may tell7
But for it we've no doubt nor fears,
And like our life that's past 80 well,
Well try another twenty years.

An English American View.

The New York Albion, (the English or.
gan, jim its number for last week, rejoices
over the release of Mason and Sldell as 'the
termination of dispute that might have
brought about irreparablc ills La speak
ing of affairs in England, it says:
AS to the great Anglo American difficulty,
we gather from various sources that the news
of the release Of Messrs Mason and Slidell
will be hailed with unbounded satisfaction
by the nation at large. Having so often
warned our readers against confounding the
press with either the GovernDsat or-ths
people, we take no pains to anticipate it
course. Only this may be said the Times
which breaches solemn and misplaced
homily to tho young Prince Of Wales or,
the remains of istathcr are cold, still main
tains its bad eminsnce in stirring up strifi
between the United States and Great Bi
tain. It's neutrality is all on one side an'
to say nothing of the fragrant vindictivenes
and injustice of many Of its remarks, the.
ara in the worst conceivable taste. Th'
Times will scarcely be content.
