our Cherished Dead.

What, tho no stately column
Their cherished names may raise,
To dim the eye and move the lip
With gratitude and praise
The blue sky, hung with hammered clouds,
Their solemn domes shall be;
All Heavens choirIng winds shall chant
The anthem Of the free.
The spring with vine clad arms shall clasp
Their hillock'd resting places,
And summer roses droop above
With flushed and dewey faces.
For daisies, rayed and crowned, shall spring
Like stars from out Of their dust,
And look TO kindred stars on high
With eyes ot patent trust.
And vainiy shall the wiling's lips
Assail with enyipus dart
Tie fame of our heroic dead,
Whose stronghold is the heart;
The Ndtion'S heart-not crushed,
Tho each ,hrob be i'll pain;
For Life and Hope must stli survive,
Where Love ana Fal,h remain.

+" A million of money for one inch of

moments; but all the wealth of the world
could not purchase single hour.
Young woman, are you improving your
golden hours so as to save yourself from
vain regrets by-and-by, when the fatal ar
cher lets fly the arrow of death and cuts
short your dream OF life? You have heart
sympathies to cultivate, mind to educate,
powers to make active for good, and infiu.
enccs to WELD for the right and the true.
How much ofyour time is absorbed by lofty
aims and noble strivings? "t
Young man, can you afford to waste an
hour in idleness and frivolity? Can you
afford to neglect your opportunities of sto-
ring your mind with useful information, of
making solid requirements, and preparing
yourself thoroughly for those hi gh efforts
that win success in the great undertakings
OF life! You have great deal to do, be-
tore you attain to your majority, in order
to Deet the just expectations of society.
You have to do with fast age, to share in
operations moving with lightning speed
and you must be capable of quick decisions
and brisk movements, for time and tide
will not wait for you. Every hour not
needed for repose and recreation should be
filled up with benefits to yourself and 9th.

bless us for dropping it. Here is an old

learns nothing, is nothing, and coines to

A MclNTosH.-The New Orleans cor.
respondent of the st. Louis Republican
says:
Among the recent arrivals here is Gen
Mcintosh, grandson of the old Scotch
General Mcintosh of Georgia. and son OF
Gen William Mcintosh, by the beautiful
Waite, daus sl,ter OF a Chattahoochic Creek
chief. OF course the noblest in the land
as much nobler than the descendants OF
Pocahontas as the McTntoshes and Troups,
oil Georgia, were nobler than John Smith
the Oriental rover and colonist of the
James. Gen. Mcintosh is direct from the
creek Nation, in behalf of his destitute
people, aud tells me that the war has left n
fearful desolation in the Indian territories.
1t will be gratifying to you to learn that
the illusrious half breed, though sixty.
four years old, and the father of eleven
children and thirteen grandchildren, and
co onc' in the Confederate armies of the

truth of the saying that "blood will tell"

A THRILLING Acr OF HERoIsa. As
a train of the Grand Trunk was passing
through this locality during the night, q
young gentleman, Mr.. Bachand, noticed
that house was on fire, while the people
seemed not to have wakened up. He urged
the conductor to stop the train, or at least
to slacken it, but met with refusal. The
courageous young man leaped, however,
from the cars, broke his leg, and yet crept
to the burning house, which was that Of

THE FROZEN WELL OF BRANDON, VI.
The Freeman thus speaks Of this reraar-
kable well:. -. -.
This we'll has existed seven winters and
six summers. Ms depth is Al feet. The
water is from two and half to three feet
in depth. A coat of ice is formed on the
wall of the well the whole depth of the
water. The ice becomes so thick in winter
as to render it difficult to dip up water
with common bucket. The surface Of
the water also freezes over every night du.
ring the winter. Ice has thus formed four
inches in one night, the present winter.
The owner is obliged to descend into the
we'll and cut open the ice every morning
In winter, in order to draw water. ~ AS
spring advances, the surface of the water
ceases to freeze, but the ice remains on the
we'll around the water, diminishing in ouan.
tity as summer advances, but does not en-
tirely disappear, some remaining until the
next winters freezing commences The
well yields an abundant supply of water.

The End ora Gambler.

Among the innumerable anecdotes rela.
ted OF the persons at play, there is one
worth relating, which refers to Mr.. Dor
ter, a gentleman who, in the reign of
seeueen Anne, possessed one of the best es-
tates in Northumberland, the whole of
which he lost ut hazard, in twelve months.
According to the story told of this mad
man-for we call him nothing else-when
he had just completed the loss OF his last
acre, at gambling house in London. and
was proceeding down stairs to throw him.

ms house In town, be resolved upon hav-
ing one more throw to try to retrieve his
losses. and Immediately returned to the
room where the play was going on. Nerv.
ed tor the worst that might happen, he
insisted that the person he had been nlav.
ing with should give him a chance at re.
ccvery or fight with him.
His proposition was this That his car.
rage and horses, the trinkets and loose
money In his pockets, his town house,
plate and turniture-in short all he had
LEFT In the world, should be valued in q
lump at "a certain sum, and be thrown at a

winner to the door, he told the coachman
there was his master, and marched forth
into the dark and dismal streets, without
house or home, or any one creditable
means OF support. Thus beggared, he re.
tired to an obscure lodging in cheap part
OF the town, subsisting partly in charity,
sometimes acting as the marker at a bill.
lard table, and occasionally as helper in
livery stable.
In this miserable condition, with naked
ness and famine staring him in the lace
exposed to the taunts and insults of those
whom he had once supported, he was re.
cognized by an old friend, who gave him
tel gulheas to purchase necessaries. He
expended 1--WE in procuring decent apparel;
with the remaining five he repaired to Q
common gaming house and increased them
to fifty. He then adjourned to one of the
higher order of houses, sat down with for

ADvERTIsEMENrs.-A gentleman VIII

ADvERTIsEMENrs.--A gentleman who
has travelled great deal, remarked to Us. !.
the other day, that he considered the ad-
vertising columns of a newspaper as infal-
lible mirrors of the business of place.
The fact has been established, that not on.
ly does advertising and merit open the way
to fortune, but those who advertise are
more liberal dealers; and, inasmuch as they
keep themselves and their wares constantly
before the public, it is certain evidence,
that they have what they advertise, and
are anxious to secure customers whom they
will exert themselves to retain by liberal
dealing We can point to our advertising
columns with pleasure, and would say to
our friends, by all means, bestow your pat
ronage upon those whose advertisements
there appear, as they will be found to bc
honest, liberal minded and accommodating
men in business. Mark this. 8a -

LOOK TO THE SCHOOL BooKs.-We
advise our Democratic friends, saws the
Cincinnati Enquirer, to look closely to the
kind OF school boaks that are put in the
hands of their children AS specimen OF
its necessity, read the following from the
New York correspondent of a Georgia ex.
change:
But the most noticeable publications that
are brought out, are those designed entire.
ly for children. Through these big crcp
of hate and persecution for "rebels /" is be
ing planted, precisely as Abolitionism was
sowed thirty years ago. I remember then
hnding Atolitionism in my school books.
One of my little boys got prize at school
the other day; it was book entitled " The
Soldier Boy" The frontispiece contains
an atrocious libel, in representing Con
tederate soldier attempting the life of a
Federal soldier who had given him drink
OF water. 1t narrates with approval all
sorts of outrages pc, e,petratcd by " The Sol.
dier Boy and his friends upon Southern
sympathizers or .'traitors'' The book.
IN short, is an abominable TRADE against
the South; and yet it is permitted to be
distributed to the school children in this
most conservative quarter of the North.
There Is no instruction in it, only spirit
OF malice against the South and the Con.
perheads.

AN EDITOR IN HEAvEN.-Under the
above caption an exchange gives long
obituary notice of q deceased brother ed
itor, from which we have room only to
extract the closing paragraph:
"Should we then not rejoice that our
late friend of the scissors and quill is in
heaven3 In that paradise the cry Of
"more copy" will never again fall upon his
distracted ears. There his enjoyments will
no more be interrupted by the growls of
the unreasonable subscriber, or the duns
of the paper maker. There he will enjoy
entire freedom from the detractions and
misrepresentation of political opponents,
and the caresses of ambitious political as
pirants. In that blest abode he is TO more
to be troubled with illegiblc manuscript
or abominable poetry. No rival editors
will there steal his thunder or his items,
and typographical errors shall know him
no more forever"
