1T is NOT ALWAYS MAY.

The sun is bright--the air is clear,
The darling swallows soar and sing,
And from the stately elm, l hear
The blue-bird prophesying Spring,
So blue yon winding river flows,
1t seems an outlet from the sky,
Where, waiting till the west wind blow
The freighted clouds at anchor lie.
All things are new, the buds, the leaves
That gild the elm trees nodding crest
And even the nest beneath the caves:
There are no birds in last years nest
All things rejoice in youth and love,
The fullness of their first delight
And learn from the soft heavens above
The melting Tenderness of night.
Maiden, that read st this simple rhyme,
Enjoy thy youth, it will not stay
Enjoy the fragrance Of thy prime,
For OIL it is not always May.l
Enjoy the Spring of Love and Youth,
To some good angel leave therest;
For time will teach thee soon the truth,
There are no birds in last years nest !

A New MALADY. w. j. G. Du-
hamel, Of Washington city, in card
published in the iateHtgenccr, on the sub
rject Of the appearance of now malady
in that city called the spotted fever, says:
""The disease has proved to be very ia
tai, and four children of the same family
died of it in twelve hours after they were
taken. In this disease the patient is first
taken with chill, accompanied with
great pain in the upper portion of the
spine, near the aeduiia oJlopgata, which
continues some time.
Then this peculiar eruption makes its
appearance. This consists of numerous
small reddish spots, varying in size from
that Of mere spock to an eighth, quar-
ter, or even half an inch in diameter,
though generally very minute. They are
confined to no particular part of the bo-
dy, occurring upon the neck, trunk and
extremities, sometimes covering the
whole body. The eruption is not elevat-
cd, is Of purplish color, or almost black.
These spots on the surface Of the body
differ from the rosc-colored spots IN ty-
phoid fever by their darker hue and by
not disappearing upon pressure.
The disease is q morbid poison Of the
blood, and arises from the primary I'M
preston of the contagious poison on the
nervous system, which is overwhelmed
by its influence, and thereby causes its
sudden termination in death. There has
not been great many eases, nor does it
seem to have any tendency to spread, as
the disease in this family has been most
marked in its character"

Storming Of the Ridge in the Battle before
Chattanooga.

The stormng Of the Ridge in the great battle
before Chattanooga, Oh the 26th, is thus des-
Cribed by an officer in his report to the War De-
partment;
The slorming of the ridge by our troops was
one of the greatest miracles in military history,
No man who climbs the ascent by any OF the roads
that wind along its front believe that Is, 900
men were moving upon its broken and crumbling
face, unless j was his fortune to witness the
deed. 1t seems as awful as a visible interposi-
ton of God. Neither Generals Grant nor
Thomas intended it.. Their orders were to carry
the rifle pits along the base Of the ridge and cut
of their occupants. But when this was &C
complshed, the unaocountable spirit of the
troops bore them boldly upon the impracticable
sleeps, over the bristling rife pits on the crest
and the thirty cannon eufluding every gully.
The orders to storm seems to have been given
simultaneously by Generals Sheridan and Wood,
because the men were not to be held back.
Hopeless as the attempt appeared TO military
prudence, the generals caught the inspiration of
the men, and we're ready themselves to under
tske impossibilites.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY IN A CAB.

The London Times Of November 9th ult., gives
the following account of horrible tragedy per-
petrated n cab in the streets Of London:
a cabman named James Parker was plying
for hire near the Great Eastern railway station
at Shoreditoh on Saturday evening about half
past eight o'clock, when he was hailed by q re-
specially dressed man, who got into his cab in
company with woman between thirty and forty
years old and two little girls Of the ages Of
seven and four respectively. The man directed
the csbman to drive to the Royal Oak, West
bourne grove, Baywaters, taking the city ia his
way
When they reached the middle of Bishops
gate street the man got out and procured
pint Of half-and- half from public house, Of
which the occupants Of the cab partoOk They
then drove on as far Furnval's Inn Holborn,
when the man got out once more, paid the cab
man his fare, and walked away.
The cabman drove on to Westbourne grove, as
be had been directed by the mIn, aud stopped
at the Royal Oak tavern. Ga opening the door
Of the cab he was Mortified 10 find the woman
and the two children lying apparently dead on
the straw. A surgeon was sent for Immediately,
who pronounced life to be extinct in all three
cases.
The cabman then drove with this terrible load
to St. Mary's Hospital, Paddngtou, where the
bodies now lie A post mortem examination
will be made this morning, and the inquest will
be opened in the course OF the day.
From a cursory examination made at the
hospital the poor victims seem to have been
poisoned by prussie acid This possibly was nd
mnistered to them in the beer which they drank
in Bishopgate street The womnn appears
from her dress to be a respectable shop keepers
or mechanics wife. The two children are fair,
with light Brown hair, and were dressed
10 BLACK. The cabman describes tue man as
being dressed in black, slightly built, about
thirty FIVE years Of age, five feet five inches
10 height OF a DIRK complexion, with black hair,
beard Whskers, and moustache.
As the matter stands at present the suspicion
falls very strongly upon the man. However,
the woman may possibly have administered tue
poison first, 10 the children and then to herself.
The cabmaD, in answer to the inquiries az to
whether he saw who drank from the pot, replies |
that be could not say, as he had small quantity |
Of gin, for which the man paid, and while his
passengers bad the pot inside he was standing |
Ut hia horses head. To account for his not
seeing whether the woman and children were |
alive when the man got out at Furnivals Inn, lo
states that the man when he got out shut the |
door, and spoke TO him on the box. There was
nothing particular in the mans appearance to |
excite his suspicion, aud when be handed him
the additional sixpence he did SO in joking |
manner, and told him to be sure and drive fast.

10 dedicate these simple verses
To the noble warrior true.
Two years ago, your country called you,
And you responded to that call
You bid farewell TO wife and daughter,
They praying that you might uot fall
But If you should, the cause is noble
Yet cannot think twill be TO-
That God will bring you safe through this,
Who brought you safe through Mexico.
Although you've been in many battles,
God be praised you did not fall;
And you may fight through many more,
And yet come home to tell It all.
The Boosting rebels fight like tigers,
Is there aught they eau do more
But think they'll have to fight much harder
If they whip the Second Corps.
General Hill was disappointed
When he failed to capture them;
lie found the Yankees were too many
Quite enough to manage him
AT Antietam's bloody battle,
Mid the storms of leaden hail,
Your comrades falling all around you,
Fen then your courage did not fail,
And then those men Of North Carolina,
Long entrenched, unseen by you,
You not knowing Of their presence
Sent their deadly yolley through
But when you returned the FIRE.
They not knowing what to do,
In the hottest of this battle
The Major gave his sword to you*
Aud when the fearful contest ceases,
Poor souls, by hundreds, round you lie,
They're done with war, they're done with fighting
They'll heed no more the battle cry.
And such is war, my dearest father,
Thus perish the noble and the brave,
Yet still 1t is some consolation
To know they fill the warriors grave.
*This is literally true A Major in Georgia

at once gave up his sword which IS thus woven
Into the poetic efusiou Of his little daughter.

Unless there is change in the present enor-
nous rates at which coal is sold, the winter will
prove hard one for the poor in cities. 1t is
fearful to think what suffering will lie entailed
ny the cost Of this one item. Fire one must have
OF die. But with coal at Sl0a ton how can the
poor afford 10 lay in their winter stock. We
cannot believe that there is any necessity for this
enormous charge. The excuses rendered for it
seem altogether inadequate to justify so fearful
an advance On former prices But the dealers
nave the matter in their own hands, and being
ID haste to get rich, we cannot hope for volun-
'aIy abatement of price.
But there is a way to bring down the price
within the means of poor people, and one which
Sught to enlist the active cooperation Of every
benevolent man. Congress can repeal the duty
90 COAL and thus produce healthful COMPETE
uon which will bring this prime, necessity within
me means of the poor. This is an act of justice
which ought not to give place to any other. The
poor already suffer to runous extent. Let
