GETTING ALONG.

1 A beautiful waif on the rough waters of lite, ature. We do not know its authorship.-ED ENe. t 2 We trudge on together, my good man and I, 1 Our steps growing slow as the years haste Our children are healthy, our neighbors ar And with the world around us we've no faul to find.
 lis true that he sometimes will choose the wors For sore feet to walk in, Q weary hot day; But then my wise husband can scarcely g wrong, '. And, somehow or other, we're getting along. There are soft summer shadows beneath oul b How handsome he looks sitting there at hi We watch the Aocks coming when sunset grows dim,
 His thoughts on the cattle, and mine upor him. near, love the thieves music but listen witt He shoots the gay rogues would pay for thei, song,
 We're different sure, still we're getting along He seems not to know whatI eat, drink or wear He's trim and he's hearty, so why should No harsh word from him my poor heart ever
 shocks,
 wouldn't mind scolding so seldom he talks. An! we'll, 'tis too much we women expect, He only has promised to love and pro .ect. So lean on my husband so silent and strong, I'm sure there's no trouble, we're getting
 along.
 Life isn't SO bright as it was long ago, When he visited me amidst tempest and snow; When he brought me ribbon or jewel to wear, And sometimes & rose bud to twist in my hair, Bu. when we are girls we can all laugh and sing, Of course, growing old, life's different
 thing,
 Yet somehow or other we're getting along. 'Tis true was rich, had treasure and land, But all that he asked was my heart and my
 hand;
 Though people do say it 'tis what they can't
 prove,
 He married for money, she poor thing for love, My fortune is his and he saves me it's care, To make his home chesrful's enough for my
 share, He seems always happy our broad fields among, And we are so quietly getting along. With stocks 10 look after, investments to find, It's not very strange that I'm seldom in mind, He can't stop to see how my times dragging on, And yet he would miss me if should be gone. Should he be called first must follow him fast. For all that's worth living for then would be
 past,
 But I'll not think of losing him, fretting is
 wrong;
 While we are so pleasantly getting along.

BOURBON INSTRUMENTS OF ToRrURE--The Campana della Gancia, of Palermo, mentions a discovery that has just been made in the castle of that capital On digging up the floor of a storehouse of artillery, three horrible instru- ments of torture, used under the Bourbons, were brought to light. One was the cap of silence, consisting of two copper hoops, one of which used to be screwed tight round the head and the other tight round the face. The other instru. ments were the burning chair and foot-burner The former is also of copper, on which the vic tim was strapped down, while plates of red hot iron were let into cavity in the back The other is a kind of metal boot resting on an iron box, in which fire is kept up while the prisoner had his foot in it. It is srumored that these in struments were to be sent to London, to De shown to the British Parliament

A MERE TR1rLE-Capt. Rodman, having sue cessfully cast 20-inch gun, and the test show ing it to be safe and strong as smaller cannon is now at work on a pocket piece for the Presi- dent, the ball of which is to weigh 5000 pounds, to have range of six or seven miles, of two feet and half diameter, while the gun itself will weigh somewhere in the neighBorhood of 200 tuns. It is supposed, if the Warrior or any oth- CT vessel, should be struck by one of the pills from this little joker, it would be difficult for the fu- ture historian to tell the precise spot where the English vessel was last seen, at precisely what instant she disappeared from mortal view. Capt. Rodman is now finishing six Is inch toys for the new Monitor, three or four 2O-inch playings, be- sides old Ahe's pocket piece, the 3O-inch joker. The story that guard has to be set over his gun every night to keep it from being picked up and carried off by some thief, is pronounced 9 canard. .r-4 .-.

B1DDYs TRoUBLEs.-Its thru for me, Kate, that never seed the like av this people afore. It's sorry time I've been having since coming to this house, twelve months agone this week Thursday. Yer honor know, that my fourth cousin, Ann Mccarthy, recommended me to Mrs. Whaler, and told the lady that knew all about genteel housework and the likes; while at the same time had never seen into an Amer
 can lady's kitchen. So she engaged me, and my heart was jst ready to burst with grief for the story Ann had told, for Mrs. Whaler was a swate spoken lady, and never looked cross like in her life; that knew by her smooth, kind face. We'll, jist the first thing she told me to do afther had dressed the children, was to dress the ducks for dinner. stood looking at her for a couple of minutes before could make out any meaning at all to her words. Then went af- ther searching the clothes for the ducks and such as had to be sure. High and low went, till at last my mistress axed me what for was looking and told her the clothes for the ducks to be sure. Och, and how she screamed and laughed till my face was as rid as the sun wid shame, and she showed me in her kind swate way, what her meaning was. Thin she told me how to air the beds, and it was day for me in dade, when could go up chamber alone, and clare up the rooms One day Mrs. Whaler said to me, Biddy. an ye may give the baby an hlTtu II SeS WILL What should do--an it's thru what say this minute-but go up stairs wid the child, and shake, and then howld it out the winder.

 There was company down below, and whin Mrs. Whaler told them what had been afther doing, thought they would scare the folks in the strate with scramin.

She told me repeatedly to do them nice, for. master was goin' away so I takes the shirts, and did them all up in some pa per that was afther bringing from the old coun try wid me, and tied some pink ribbon about the bundle.
