Spring Time.

The love OF the beautiful is natural
impulse that thrills all our hearts and
brightcns the gloom that sbrouds the
rough and rugged ways of life. For all
along the pathway, be it ever SO drear
and lonely, there springs up little flower
here, blade of grass there, ard some
times tiny wreath winds itself among
the gaping rocks to hide their bleak
and ragged looks-perhaps bird sits on
the swinging bough and gladdens with its
music the soul of the weary traveller; OF,
near by, singing rill goes sweeping DER
its pebbly bottom, just in place to cool
the feyered brow of the weary and worn.
So in life, the way is often cheered by
visions of beauty, scenes that are lovely
to behold, and music whose strains sound
very, very beautiful to the weary mertals.
We have been reminded of these things
by the coming of the rosy spring time'
whose tiny footstep treads so lightly DER
hill and dale, and as she goes, scatters
flowers rich and rare with which to grace
the festal scene, when we shall crown the
blooming May Queen Of the season. All!
very beautiful is the smile of Gods love
to the children of men, when he gladdens
their hearts with the soft beaming sun
light, the balmy winds, the springing
flowers and the forest music of Spring
time. And surely there are none, from
the laborer in the felds-the tradcsman
at his bench--the merchant at his desk
the man of health with lordly tread-or
the invalid stretched upon couch of suf-
fering, but "thanks God for Springtimc."
Truly there may be shadows upon the
spirits of some of US which shut out many
of the glories and sadden some of the
notes of melody that would otherwise
burst upon us in all their accustomed ra-
dience and harmony. But even from
such hearts, though crushed and broken
they may be, there steals up an incense
of praise and thanksgiving to the throne
of their Maker that the Spring-time, the
type of final re-awakening, the joyous
harbinger of "epeace on earth and good
will toward men," has come to point us
to that world of fadeless light, where it is
one eternal Spring-time.-Cnlpeper Va.)

z Somebody's Darling.

S0meDoQyS 8 OaIAtS.
Into q ward of the whitewashed halls,S
Where the dead and the dying lay,
Wounded by bayonets, shells and balls,
Somebody's Darling was borne one day
Somebody's darling, SO young and SO orave'
Wearing yet on his sweet, pale face
Soon to be hid in the dust of the grave
The lingering light of mis- boyhOoPs grace!
Matted and damp are the curls Of gold
Kissing the snow ofthat fair young brow,
Pale are the lips of delicate mould
somebody's darling is dying now,
Rack from his beautiful blue-veined brow
Brush his wandering waves of gold;
Cross his hand on his bosom. now
Somebody's darling is still and cold.
Kiss him once for somebody's sake,
Murmur q prayer soft and low
One bright curl from its fair mates take
They we're somebody's pride you know.
Somebody's hand hath rested there;
Was it mothers, soft and white?
orbaye the lips of q sister fair
Been baptized in their waves of light9
God knows bestl He has somebody's love;
Somebody's heart enshrined him there
Somebody waited his name above,
Night and morn, on the wings of prayer.
Somebody Mept when he marched away,
Looking so handsome, brave and grand!
Somebody's kiss on his forehead lay
Somebody clung; to his parting hand.
Somebody's watching and waiting for him,
Yearning to hold him again to her heart;
( And there he lies with his blue eyes dim,
:: And the smiling child-like lips apart.
Tenderly bury the fair young dead
Pausing to drop on his grave tear;
Carve on the wooden slab DER his head
..Somebody's darling slumbers here"

A SINGULAR SToRY.-The Louisville
Democrat says:
On the 5th of February last Michael
King, about seventeen years of age, was
killed at Oakland, Kentucky, by being
struck on the head with a stake which
was drawn from the ground by an unru-
ly horse. Two days after the fatal acci-
dent, and when the body was about to
be buried, the relatives of King thought
they noticed evident signs of life, and the
body was removed to the house, where
it was kept for several days. A report
got into circulation, at the time, to the
effect that the boy had come to life. AT
ter keeping the body several days it was
removed to the lower graveyard and
placed in a vault, where it now is, and
has been visited by hundreds of our cit
izens. The body retains it's natural ap-
pearance, is timber and warm, after being
dead and in the graveyard one month.
We have heard of no reason assigned for
this strange phenomenon.

AN OLD PREDlcT1oN-The Cleveland,
Ohio, Times of February, 1S49, published
the following lines as coming from the
Knickerbocker Almanac of 1847:
ssWhen the country is ruled by a tailor bold,
A beggar shall stitch with thimble of gold;
And the water shall furnish, instead of the land,
Three millions of men with their first in command" p"
A Mississippian, bringing this stanzas
to light says, "its singularity is certainly
striking, 10 say the least. But would the
last two lines OF the stanza in question
bear the construction as for commerce to
crowd the vasty main with unprecedented
cargoes and numerousness Of craft and
crews at an imminent date ?-or do they
bode war, with plenty of privateering,
and battles by sea? Three millions OF
men with their first in command to be
on 'the waters instead of the land, as the
latter has chiefly proved the case from
1861 to the middle of 1862"
Let us hope the prediction does not
"bode war;" but rather the former, or
nothing. We would prefer that it meant
three millions of immigrants from the old
world during the administration Of the
stailor bold" ."-NasAuiAe Union.

A Romantic Love Story.

The Count de st. Croix, belonging to
one of the noblest and wealthiest families
in France, became engaged, after long
and assiduous .courtship, to lady, his
equal in position and fortune, and famous
for her beauty. Shortly after the happy
day was appointed which was to render
two loving hearts one, the Count was or
dered Immediately to the siege of Sebas-
topol; SO he girded on his sabre, and at
the head of his regiment, marched to the
battlefield. During the Counts absence,
it happened that his beautiful Jfance had
the smallpox; after lowering between
life and death for several days, she recOv-
cred her health, but found her beauty
hopelessly lost.
The disease had assumed in her case
the most virulent character, and left her
not only disfgured but scanned and
SCARED to such frightful extent that
she became hideous to herself, and re-
solved to pass the remainder of her days
in the strictest seclusion. A year passed
away, when, one day, the Count, imme-
diately upon his return to France, ac-
companied by his valet presented him
self at the residence of his betrothed and
solicited an interview. This was refused.
He, however, with the persistence of a
lover, pressed his suit, and finally the la
dy made her appearance, closely muhied
in a double veil. At the sound of her
voice the Count rushed forward to en-
brace her, but, stepping aside, she trem-
blingly told him the story of her sorrows
and burst into tears.
A heavenly smile broke over the Counts
handsome features, as raising his hands
above he exclaimed: "It is Gods work;
I am blind" 1t was even so. When
gallantly leading his regiment to the at
tack, q cannon ball passed SO closely to
his eyes that, while it left their express
sion unchanged, and his countcnance un-
marked, it robbed him forever OF sight.
1t is almost unnecessary TO add that their
marriage was shortly after solemnized.
1t is said that at this day may be often
seen at the Emperor receptions an officer
leaning upon the arm of lady closely
veilcd and they seemed to be attracted
to the spot by their love of music

To the Debilitated and the Decrepid.
For general debility and exhaustation of the
powers of nature, whether occasioned by sick
ness fast living, constitutional decay, old age, or
any other physical or mental cause, the one thing
needful and indispensable is HOSTETTER'S
CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERS. When
the fire of life seems to be absolutely dying out in
the system, and the mind sympathizing with the
body, is reduced almost to state of imbecility,
this mighty Restorative seems as it were, to lift
the sufferer out of the Slough of Despond, and re-
cruit and reinvigorate both the frame and the
intellect An old farmer in the Valley of the
Monongahela writes thus to DR.. Hostetter: al
can compare the operation of your Bitters upon
me to nothing but the effect of rain after long
dry spell in the fall of the year. The rain falling
on the meadows starts the second crop of grass,
and your wholesome medicine seems to have
started second crop of life and spirits in me-"
And this is truly the effect of this grateful and
powerful preparation Ladies of weak constitu-
ton, or whose strength has been impaired by
sickness of age, find it a most eficacious and de-
lightful Tonic, and it is administered with great
success in marasmus or wasting of the flesh, to
young children. In fact, it is a much safer and
surer cordial for the nursery than anything ad-
vertised specially for that purpose
