MISCELLANY.
Endurance Of Affection.

The endurance of affection in man, has, in
all ages of the world, been inferior to that Of
the opposite SEX What has woman not en-
dured, what will she not endure, for the object
Of her affection?
If betruthed to her, the lover is all that is
noble. If viewed by relatives with prejudice,
who so eager to combat it. Let SANDERS poi
soned tongue shoot forth its venom dart, who
so anxious to refutei it. Should opposing pow
ers combine to rend the loving tie, who more
determined to leave aught else for the hearts
chosen
From the moment of marriage, until death
shall sever-through years of hope and ankle
ty, oftimes sorrow and affliction, the enduring
affection of wife stands pre-eminent.
With material solicitude and household anx-
ieties the burden unshared perchance by the
object of this love, she remains firm and con-
slant Often tramped upon, her life embitter-
ed, then indifierently cast aside, this crushed
flower rises from the dust and tenderly blossoms
on the stem of its disappointment.
Not so with man. He may love with energy
and vigor, and all his soul seem centered on the
beet of his alteration. If life glides smoothly,
and meaner motives have no place, the object
of his attachment may feel proud ofbis passion
ate tenderness. But let storm-cloud come, and
worldly matters look dark, where then is this
endurance of faffection-thistest OF love? Scat
tered to the winds Ambition and self, lend
ing their weight in the scale, it is not difficult
to determine which way the beam will trip.
Man. at least, is but selfish being, and lacks,
in wonderful degree, the devotion and sacri-
fcing spirit of the gentler sex.
Worldly ties, and motives Of pride, ambition
and avarice, combine TO withhold him from
just claim TO this precious gem.
But again, instances are known where moral
courage and manly frmness have not len
wanting; and through many obstacles and
great trials, he has remained true and constant
to the loved object, displaying this admirable
quality of endurance.
Carefully ENTHUSIASTICALLY gathered to the
heart, should be the just appreciation Of this
wondrous treasure, more to be cherished, be-
cause so rare.

BERTHA.

There's light in her easement blinking
Still through the village gloom,
OF what is my Bertha thinking,
There in her silent room;
As my daring fancy views her,
Sitting with curls untressed,
A wandering. wondering nuser,
Staving off prayer and rest;
With her fathers good night blessing
Still in her virgin ear,
With her mnther's kiss still pressing
Her brow of marble clear;
With a new days history linking
Its mark ON her soul so white
0fwhat is my Bertha thinking
Ere she puts out her light?
Perchance OF the latest new novel,
Its heroine's grief and pain,
Oflove in q palace or hovel,
a castle in air or in Spain
Perchance of the minister's sermon,
The air of favorite dance,
Her last weeks lesson in German,
Her bonnet that's coming from FrsneeS
Psrchanoe of young girls dreaming
On words like " mother" and " wife,"
A child souls innocent scheming,
To guess at the riddle of lifef
Perhaps of her dinner-her brother
The state OF her soul or her shawl;
Pei haps of myself or some other
Perhaps of nothing at all

A Singular Circumstance.

Says the Madison (Indiana) Courier: A most
remarkable case Of mistaken identity recently
occurred in our city. At the time Of the explo-
sion of the General Lytle, Mr.. Schlaret, of our
city, wasinformed that his son was among those
killed. He went to the wharf and there saw
the corpse Of young man, which upon exam
ination he was satisfied was that of his son.
The body was removed to Mr.. Schlarets resi-
dcnce, aud the family and neighbors after look
ing at it felt perfectly sure that it was the re-
mains of "Bud" Schlaret. The features Of the
face were not distinguished so as to create any
doubts, and we understand the corpse had the
same ink marks on the arm as young Schlaret
bears The family were in great grief, the fu-
neral took place, the body was buried. and the
family put on mourning apparel. Last Satur-
day afternoon, however, Bud Scharet arrived
in the city from the South. His appearance
at his fathers residence at first created consid-
cradle fright and CONSERVATION, but was after
wards the occasion of great joy. The upper
end Of the city for little while was in state
of excitement.

cure for them, which we have heard highly re-
commended: AS soon as the parts begin to
swell, get the tincture Of lobelia, and wrap the
part affected with cloth saturated thoroughly
with the tincture, and the felon is dead. An
old physician says he has known it to cure in
scores Of cases, and it never fails if applied i'll
