In Memoriam
" Mrs. Hary Camn.iiss acife of D. B. Cum
mins, Esq.
After short illness, she has entered into
rest. Mrs. Cummins was one of those consist
ent and earnest Christian women, whose piety
IN Its unObtruSive simplicity could not court
public expression, because her guileless nature
never suggested any display of self, or pride,
IN good deeds done in the name of Christ.
In all the relations of her life, she was faith
fui In bearing the name and observing the
teaching of her Divine Master. AS wife, she
Was loving, trustful, Obedient: as mother. most
anectlonate, and sOlicitous for the religions
nurture OF the one committed to her care as
sister, Jealous for the spiritual we'll being and
advancement in grace of all the members of
her large family. Her heart went out in love
70 all about her. Was any sick? she was rea
dy at all times to serve, and to console with
the words of Inspiration. Was any afflicted
was perfected through suffering Her un.
displayed deeds of charity and pity, her kind
ness and plous conversations, were not pushed
beyond that sphere of influence and duty which
lay Immediately around her. To a heart and
mind sensibly controlled by grace was joined a
sweetness Of disposition, which long continued
feeble health did not materially impair.
At home, In the quiet of the family circle,
she shone, without knowing it, as the light of
the house, in making joyous and happy those
near and dear i'll the bonds of kindred and
friendship by rejecting the happiness which
she enjoyed in their society. To more than |
'one brother and one sister has her conduct |
shown the solieitude and affection of mother |
When opportunity offered she failed not to
testify of the love of Jesus, that it was the no.
llest consolation and her most precious crown |
OF rejoicing.
Those rare graces of meekness, patience, and |
resignation, which had grown up in her char
acter through long walk with the Crucifed, |
gave to her manner modesty, and her CON
yersatiOn a tenderness, which were felt and |
valued by those who knew her best.
In the very maturity of her womanhood, the |
silver cord was ''loosed. Right in the
midst of reasonable hope for continuance of
earthly hope and happiness, her soul was called
10 the heavenly mansion. There is no room
for hopeless sorrow. We should say of Him
whose wisdom she adored, and whose Provi-
dcnce she trusted, God be praised" for
they who sleep in Jesus shall "reign with
Him

How Docs ARE MAD.-Nine.tenth of the people are in ignorance in regard to the pre- monition of madness in dogs. One of the earliest signs of madness in dogs, and one which should always arouse attention on the part of those in charge of dogs, is sullenness combined with fdgetiness. When 1t means rabies (madness,) the dog retires to his bed for several hours, and may be seen cured up, his face buried between his paws and breast He shows no disposition to bite, and will answer to the call, but he answers slowly and snllenly. After while he becomes restless. seeking out new resting places, and never satisfied long with one. He then returns to his bed, and continu. ally shifts his position. He rises up and lies down again, settles his body in variety of po- sitions, disposes his bed with his paws, shaking it in his mouth, bringing it to heap, on which he carefully lays his chest, and then rises up and bundles it all out of his kennel. If at lib- erty, he will seem to imagine something lost, and will eagerly search around with strange violence and indecision. The dog should be watched. If he begins to gaze strangely about him, as he lies in bed, and if his counteuauce is clouded and suspicious, we may be certain that madness is coming on.

&c., while the scorer was assisted in his work by lady, who in turn performed some feats of shooting which any riAeman might be proud of. Indeed, the ladies of the place seemed scarcely less interested than the men, and added by their presence to the zest of the competition, besides providing bountiful and cheering re- past, for which the exercises had given us all a vigorous appetite.
 The object of the Club ip calling conven- tion was not so much to elicit individual skill in the use of the rife, as to compare the merits of some of the best of the new weapons which our recent necessities have called into existence. The Wesson, Ballard, Henry and Maynard ri- Hes were represented, and tested in various ways and at different ranges, in comparison with diff ferent patterns of muzzle-loaders. l shall make no record of their comparative merits as evinc- ed by this, for the reason, first, that was an invited guest of the Club, representing. the in- terest of Rife Manufacturing Company, and do not conceive myself entitled to make known the result of their investigations, which if pub. lished at all should be with the sanction and. authority of the Club itself; and secondly, in determining which is the best weapon there is so much to be considered beyond the mere ques. tion (which made the best shooting on this occasion, that it would require an essay to dc justice to the subject.
 | My object has been to show that in one in- stance at least an end has been attained, which ! many who recognized it's importance have des- paired of efecting, and l cite it as proof that the encouragement of manly athletic sports might and ought to constitute one of our most powerful safeguards against idleness, vice and immortality. c.

B@-S Some time back, before the Naval Acad- emy removed from Annapolis, young man from one of the ardent Southern States fell in love with maiden of the town. He had op- portunity to meet her frequently, and contrast ing the honey and butter of these stolen inter- views with the hard tack of his barrack life, he determined to pop, embrace, and turn Bsnedic- tte.
 The young lady, equally ardent, was not 10th; but she charged him thus:
 You must not tell papa; he is great stick Ter for law and duty, and knows that you have no right, being a cadet, to take any other re- sponsibility. When you get your commission which is all you have to depend upon, we will parade the fact, but until then we. shall meet when we can, and as six months will. see you with commission in your hand, there need be no fear of detection. Besides, as you must marry clandestinely, so will l, and we will keep the secret in common At this time travelling Methodist preacher was temporarily in the town, and the twin de- semblers went before him and joined hands. Nothing remained but to keep the secret.
 The preacher knew nothing of this, however, and cursorily let the mouse out of the trap, so that that an old professor who disliked cadets, because they beseiged in squads certain pret- ty daughter that he had, ascertained the fact, without ascertaining but one of the names, and he court.martialed the cadet immediately.
 Despite the personal entreaties of the youth <, the case was brought up.
 He acknowledged the fact, pleaded guilty, and fell back on the mercy of the court.
 The old professor aforesaid, sternly object ed; he stood upon law and good policy, and called for the lads dismissal.
 You'll be taking the bread out of my wife's mouth ? said the cadet. I don't care,' said the professor, Jet justice be done, though the larder be empty Do you know the lady's namef' urged the | cadet. I don't want to know it, she isn't the crimi- nal; it is you'
 My wife, sir. is your daughter Thesold gentleman was overwhelmed with rage and sh anne.
 The court, acting upon his suggestion, and partly with sly malice, struck the cadets name from the rolls. So the old gentleman had to pay, for time the expenses of both daughter and son-in-law, the lad got back into the navy during the re- bellion, and rendered good account of him. self

.BREcKENRIDGE's EscApE.-The escape of General Breckenridge and his party to Cuba was full of incident. some privation and little romance. His success is due to Col. Taylor Wood, Ia grandson of Zacharay Taylor) who escaped from General Wilson, and joined him at St. Johns'. The small boat in which they crossed the Gulf of Mexico was hauled twen- ty-six miles across the country, from St. Johns to Indian River. They made their way along the coast living on shell-fsh and turtles eggs. Near the mouth of Indian river they beached their boat in order to procure food enough to last them for the voyage across. While en- gagged in this business, they were spied by the officers of U. s. gunboat, and small boat was sent for them. The ingenuity Of Taylor Wood saved them. He jumped into his own boat, pushed boldly for the advancing enemy, pretended to be, and initiated Florida wreck CT, asserted the party to be parolled soldiers, and invited his unwelcome visitors on shore, after having shown them discharge papers, This farce disarmed suspicion, and the party left the neighborhood. The same evening they put for Cardenas, with dozen turtles eggs and a few clans. They were three days on the voyage, and spoke one vessel from whom they obtained some fresh water. They were six in
 the party, and it required five to manage the boat. and Taylor Wood was the only navigator
 So that only one man could sleep at time, and Wood was on the alert constantly. During a squall at night, he was washed overheard, but
 clung to the halyards and was on board again
 before he was missed. The voyage began and
 ended with religious services, and they undoubt- edly prayed with all the unction that is so char acteristic of the bloodiest rebels.. They were kindly and ostentatiously received by the au- thorities at Cardenas and forwarded to Cuba The Captain General of that island has prom ised them it shall be a safe asylum as long as they choose to stay. 5@ #
