Woman.

Mrs. Stevens the ''sweet story writer has,
somewhere, thrown off this eloquent passage;
Woman, woman truly she is miracle
Place her amid flowers foster her as a tender
plant, and she is a thing of fancy, waywardness.
and something of folly-annoyed by dew-drop,
fretted by the touch of butterfly swing, ready
to faint at the rustic of beetle. The re
phyrs are too rough, the showers too heavy and
she isoverpowered by the perfume of a rosebud.
But let real calamity come, rouse her affection,
enkindle the fires of her heart, and mark her
then. How her heart strengthens itself; how
strong is her purpose. Place her in the heat of
battle, give her a child, bird, anything she
loves or pities, to protect, and see her. as in a
related instance, raising her white arms as a
shield, and as her own blood crimsons her up
turned forehead, praying for life to protect the
helpless. Transplant her into the dark places
of the earth, awaken her energies to action, and
her breath becomes healing, her presence a
blessing; she disputes inch by inch, the stride
of the stalking pestilence, when man, the strong
and brave, shrinks away pale and afrighted. l.
Misfortune daunts her not; she wears away a
life of silent endurance, or goes forward with
less tilnidity than to her bridal. In prosperity
she is bud full Of imprisoned odors waiting
but for the winds of adversely to scatter them
abroad-pure gold, valuable but untried in the
furnace. In short, woman is o miracle, mys-
tery -

Memories,


The heart has memories that never die the
them Feeble age, trembling on the brink of
the grave, has them when everything else has
fled and been forgotten. They are memories of
home; the house where we were born, and
the yard with It's wreath of roses and towering
vines; the lilac bushes where the robins made
their nests spring after spring, paying theirrent
In songs, such as we dream of, but never hear
! afterwards; the old elm and swing where the
children used to play all the while they sat by
the low front window, her face beaming out oc-
casionalys through the folds of the dainty mus
lin curtain; the same old house with its pointed
gables, quaint cornices and antique windows
the fTescoed chamber where we used to dream
OF all the world had in store for u.s. Dear old
home, with its gay dreams and sunny hours,
and cloudless skies and visions Of bliss, and go-
rlous happiness, gone, all gone. The traveller,
climbing the mountains Of land not his own,
vii, enid all his toll and his changes revert ey-
er and anon to the time when a youth Or a
school-boy, he roane>- the fields and hills Of his
own native home.
The mariner, rocked by the storms Of the sea,
or resting at some foreign port, viii run through
the long lapse Of years, back to the hours when,
with brother and q sister, he froIicked the
joyous hours Of youth.
Neither change nor time, neither age nor
years, neither distance nor disease, neither guilt
nor passion, can ever efface the spring time Of
life, thoughts such as blot from the heart those
memories of youth, will reproduce on the verge
Of eternity the freshness Of emotion, Of life and
desire, with which existence in life began.

Singular Case.

One of our exchanges says there is young
man In town In Vermont who cannot speak to
his father Previous to his birth, some differ
ence arose between his mother and her husband,
and for a considerable time she refused to speak
to him. The difficulty was subsequently healed
the child was born, and In due time began to
talk-but when sitting with his father was in
yariably silent 1t continued SO till it was five
years old, when the father, after having ex-
hausted his powers Of persuasion, threatened it
with punishment for It's stubbornness When
the punishment was inflicted, it elected nothing
but signs and groans which told but too plainly
that the little sufferer was vanly endeavoring
to speak. All who were present united in this
opnion-that it was impossible for the child to
speak to his father; and time proved their opin-
ion to be correct. At a mature age its efforts
to converse with its parent could only produce
the most bitter signs and groans
We clip the above from an exchange. A
similar case, known to many persons now living,
occurred in one Of the eastern counties of this
State. The son is now living, and is man Of
ordinary intelligence; is a farmer, and resided
with his father up to the time of the death of
the latter, which occurred when the son was
about twenty years Of age. Many expedients
were tried and failed to induce him to speak to
his father; and although he freely conversed
with his associates about other matters imme-
dlately became silent when asked the reason
why he did not speak to his father. We never
heard that the parents of this man had any DIFF
ficulty before his birth as that alluded to in the
above extract.-Ralesgh az c. STANDARD. =

j PROSPECTUS OF THE

On the first of January wo will commence the
publication in the city of Baltimore of a month
ly Literary Magazine.
There is no publication of this character now is
sued South of New York City, and the closing of
the war has left a large portion of the people of
the country with no literary representative. the
Cosmopolte will be devoted to Literature, Art,
Reviews, Scientific Papers and General Reading,
and We shall number among its contributors some
of the first Literary men of the South with others
frem the n orth and from London and Paris
All matter not original will be carefully select
ed from the newest and best of the English, Ger
man and French publications; and its Editors
will spare no effort, or expense, to make it rank
with the Gerry first magazines of the country
AS its name imports, we have established the
Cosmopolte upon no sectional basis. We hope
to make it the Organ Of General Literature alone;
and will be uninfuenced by any party or clique
whatever.
1t will be mailed to subscribers in any part Of
the country upon receipt of the following sub
scription: Single copies, for one year, 81. Ave
copies, one year, $18; ten copies, 1913.
The Cosmopolte will be generally distributed
among the merchants and planters of the South
and we will add, for their information, few sd-
vertisements, at moderate rates.
Liberal deductions will be made to bookseller

A Flea Under g Microscope.

When flea is made to appear as large as an
elephant we can see all the wonderful parts Of
its formation, and are astonished to find that it
has coat Of armor much more complete than
ever warrior wore, and composed of strong pol
ished plates, fitted over each other, each plate
covered like tortoise shell, and where they
meet hundreds of strong quilts project like those
on the back of the porcupine or hedge hog
There is the arched neck, the bright eyes, the
transparent cases. piercers to puncture the skin,
a sucker to draw away the blood, SIX long joint
ed legs, four of which are folded on the breast,
all ready at any moment to be thrown out with
tremendous force for that jump which bothers
one when they want to catch him, auu at the
end of each leg hooked claws to enable him to
jump a hundred times his own length, which is
the same as if man jumped to the height Of
six hundred feet; and he can draw q load
two hundred times his own weight.

The following lines are no fancy sketcll-the,

Joined verses:
Thou vowedst and thou vast believed,
But false as he'll thy vows have proved
She trusted thee but was deceived
And ruined By a man she loved.
She rests now in the silent grave
UnWept is she because undone
And thou alone hadst power to save
The life Of that poor ruined one.
All. sad the fate of her on whom
The world has fixed its damning seal
She withered till she reached the tomb
Crushed down by those who could nos feel
Without hope, despised, alone,
She seemed mark for all to shun;
None had the recklessness to own
A care for that poor ruined one.
And vast thou secuted by the world,
Hated and scorned by every friend!
Was foul contempt upon thee hurled
By those who knew thy victims ends
Did every fair one spurn thy touch,
And from thee as serpent run?
Twas thus they fed from her-Ah such
The fate of that poor ruined onei
Oh. mol The eye of beauty smiles
On thee with r-beaming glance;
Those hands, whose very touch defes,
Are never stunned to may dance;
In halls of fashion thou dost reign
In power and fame eclipsed by none
But in that circle light and vain
None think of that poor ruined one.
Then of such honor drink thy fill,
Where blasted honor draws no toars
Go onward in thy course, distil
Thy poison into willing ears;
Bask on in fashion brilliant ray
Thou adder in the morning sun
Forgetting that there comes day
To judge thee for that ruined onee
Thou murderer Though by all below
Thy frightful crime may be forgot
The hour will come when thou shalt know,
The eye of vengeance slumbers not;
When conscience shall, with thunder peal,
Thy very Utmost senses stun,
And reason from her throne shall reel,
When thinking of that ruined one
While friends shall weep around thee there
While writhing on thy couch Of pain,
While madly wild thy eyeballs glare,
And fends are narrowing thy brain;
When life's last breath has almost fed,
And the death-struggle has begun,
Then, then shall fit around thy bed,
The spectre of that ruined one
And in the world beyond the tomb
That murdered form shall haunt thee still;
That eye shall pierce hells blacklist gloom
And meet thine own turn where it will;
That voice, now hushed, shall rend thine ear
In shrieks thou'lt not have power to shun;
Through all eternity thou'lt hear
The curses of that ruined Onel

Virginia, during the Peninsular campaign, Gen.

OF his command, the editorials of the Examiner,
as indictments to his soldiers. In Texas, General
Magruder complained that he was deprived of
the daily entertainment and stimulation of the
Richmond Examiner. No one can appreciate the
