Auction OF LADIEs.-An auction of unmar-
ried ladies used to take place annually. ''In ey-
cry district" says the historian, they assembled
on certain day of every year all the virgins of
marriageable age. The most Beautiful was first
put mp, and the man who bid the largest sum of
money took possession of her. The second in
personal appearance followed, and the bidders
gratifed themselves with handsome wives &C
cording to the depth of their purses. But, alasl
it seems there were in Babylon some ladies for
which no money was likely to be offered, yet
they were also disposed Of so provdent were
the Babylonians. 'When all the beautiful vir-
gins says the historian, were sold the crer
would order the most deformed to stand up and
after he had demanded who would marry her
with a small sum, she at length adjudged
to Che man who would be satisfied with the least
This custom prevailed about 500 years before

The old Church.

The following beautiful lines were written |
Tyrone Power, the famous Irish Comedian wi
pershed on the steamer President They were il
scribed on the wall of the Z" Old Bradford Church
near Petersburg, Va, in which city Power had {
engagement
Thou art crumbling to the dust old pile
Thou art fastening to thy fall /;
And round thee in thy loneliness,
Clings the ivy to the WALL
The worshippers scattered now,
Who knet before thy shrine
And silence regns where anthems rose
In days off, Aud Lang Syne"
Ard sadly sighs the wandering wind,
Where oft in years gone by,
PRAYER rose from many hearts to Him,
The Highest of the High;
The tramp of many busy foot
Thar sought thy aisles is DER, -
And many a weary heart around,
Is still for everm0re.
How doth ambitions hope take wings
How droop the spirits now1
We hear the distant citys din;
The dead are mute below;
The sun that shOne upon their paths
Now gilds their lonely graves,
The zeyhyrs which once tanned their brows,
The grass above them waves.
Oh could we call the many back;
Whove gathered here in vain
Who've careless rOved where we do now,
Who'll never meet again
How would our very hearts be stirred,
To meet their earliest gaze
Of the lovely and the beautiful
The lights of other days!

A friend of ours was in company once. He
turned upon discourse which one Of the party
had listened to that morning, and the remark
was made by some one that the minister had
lately "married his fifth wife"
"What was the subject of the discourse ?'
asked one Of the party. 49.
''1t was on happiness and he tried to show
that as God had given us so many opportunities
for happiness, that it was our duty to be happy"
"Probably that is the reason he married so
many times he doubtless considers matrimony
a means of happiness
"Well," said our friend, 'f he does, he is
certainly running it into the groundP

A Tower or SKULLs.-Lamartine in

as follows When | was about a league
from Nisa the last Turkish town almost on
the frontier of Servia, l saw large tower
rising up in the midst of the plain, as white
as Parian marble. took the path which
led to it. l desired Turkish lad who ac-
companied me to hold my horse, and sat
down under the shade of the tower to en-
Joy few moments repose. No sooner was
seated than raising my eye to the monu-
ment, discovered that the walls which /
had supposed to be built of marble or regular
rows OF white stone, were composed of regu-
lar rows of human skulls, bleache ed by rain
and sun, cemented by little sand and lime,
formed entirely the triumphal arch which
now sheltered me from the burning sun
There must be from fifteen to twenty thou
sand. lp some places portions of the hair
are still hanging, and waved like lichen or
moss with every breath of wind. The
mountain breeze was then blowing fresh,
penetrating the innumerabe cavities of the
skulls, and sounded like a mournful and
plaintive sigh These were the skulls Of if.
teen thousand Servians, who had been put
to death by the Pacha in the last insurrec-
tion of Servia. Servia, however, is now Free
and this monument will teach their children
the value of independence by showing them
the price at which their forefathers par
chased It."

The Death of Booth.

AT first there was momentary regret
that in the shooting of Booth the gallows
had been cheated of its victim; but the
more we think of it the better we are con-
WINGED that the manner and place OF the
death of this monster were most fitting.
His oficnse 50 far transcribed all ordinary
crimes that hanging would have been a
mild punishment for him. And then had
he been taken alive, and had the solemn
forms of law been enacted, there might have
been danger that by his reckless inditfer-
ence and brayado some mi ht almost have
forgotten his atrocious crime and reckon
vi him akin to a hero. AS it was, IN
formed upon by negroes, whose best earth
" friend and beneiactor he had killed,
hunted down by loyal soldiers, and shot
in IA lonely barn on the sacred soil of Nir-
ginia, the means of discovery, manner
and place of death were most appropriate.
A. has been we'll said, now let his memory
rot with his carc;se.
The Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1837-1867, 1865-05-05
COlCardlY!

The Springfield Republican has the cred
it G. OF being the only loyal paper that
finds fault with the men who captured
and killed Booth the assassin. This pa
per says that, taking the most favorable
account of the captors themselves, it was
cowardly affair" Such an assertion
may be smart but it is neither loyal
nor lust. We mistake the sentiment OF
the people il they would have wished the
men who took Booth to have run the haz-
ard Of an attempt to capture him alive,
knowing very well that, as he asserted, he
could "kill half dozen Of them and
then kill himself before he could be tax
en-" Ii would have been a qualification
to every one to have had the law taken its
course with this assassin. but after all, the
manner Of his death should not have had
a feathers weight when the lives of good
men were in danger The monster was
put out of the world, and the more it Is
considered, the more appropriate does the
way it was done appear

The Chief Criminals.

We have sometimes thought that there
was danger of forgetting the great CRIME
of the leaders in this rebellion, but the
events that are now transpiring will have
the effect, we think, to keep the enormity
of their acts before the people. The
Providence Journal in noticing the death
of Booth well says:
Even at this hour, let us not forget that
the chief criminals are not Booth anG
Paine and Harold and Atzeroth. Let us
keep our eyes on those unhung villain:
who are making their way southwark
through the Carolinas with the money
they have stolen. jeff: Davis and Judal
Benjamin and their associates are, it il
believed, as guilty as Booth. Their hands
are red and dripping with the blood o
Abraham Lincoln. Thieves, murderers
tyrants, traitors, let Justice have her per
feet work with them, and the whole Ma
ton will say, Amen.
The Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1837-1867, 1865-05-05

After our President was murdered, and
the entire country was aroused to the i'm
portance Of capturing and furnishing the
assassin, the n Y. Tribune came out with
the following
"Inquirer" asks if we are opposed to
the inAiction in any case of Death as a
penalty of violated human law. Ansarer
We have been opposing the Death Pen
atty openly and earnestly for at least
twenty years, and are surprised at being
asked whether we mean what we say.
We never mean anything else.
This is plain. The many friends of the
Tribune in this state should consider this
statement. The editor of that paper does
not think Booth deserved to be hung for
assassinating Mr.. Lincoln.
The Congregationahst, one of the best of
the religious journals, has this to say about
such maudlin talk:
cit is high time that this sickly senti-
mentality regarding criminals should cease.
Villains are protected, and the innocent
suffer The life of the country is in peril,
the head Of the nation falls by the bullet
of the assassin, the nation mourns, the
cause of liberty and humanity seems pass
ing into an eclipse, the world is shocked
with the most enormous crime of centur-
les; and yet, we have those among us
like MIR. Greeley, or even our own Cover
nor Andrew, who empliatically bears the
sword in vain-wlo it may be presumed
would have the perpetrator of this iniq Iity
suffer the penalty of the thief or house
breaker. Such men think it right to
wage war upon slavery and its aggres>ionS.
and sla, hundreds of thousands of men in
the cause of liberty; but when slavery
and the rebellion mdtNlmlI>es itself, and
attempts by one nun to accomplish what
armies have failed to do. when the death
struggle of the enemy is made by the as
sassin rather than by battle, tieu the single
criminal must be leniehtly dealt with. Ii
is time that we arouse to the fact that
public morals and integrity, the safety OF
communicates, the life Of the nation,
demand that justice be vindicated and
criminals punished, not Gas many seem
to think for the sake Of the villain, but
for the good of the public, which has sui
tered by his deeds

Boston COrbett.

Sergf- Boston Corbett, the avenger of
our President, is as the account which we
give elsewhere says, a religious enthusiast.
Before he enlisted he lived in New York
awhile, and was a constant attendant at
the Fulton street prayer meeting. A New
York letter writer in speaking of him
says:
He enlisted in the 18th regiment, and
made conscience his guide there. He was
perpetually in hot water because he would
follow the order of his conscience rather
than the military order. He prayed in
the corner of his tent regularly night and
morning, nor could the taunts or jeers of
his associates turn him aside. | have
seen him often in the guardhouse with his
knapsack full of bricks as punishment,
