There isgaO Aeftt.s.

There is no death God sends his
messenger angel to bear away our loved
ones, who are zoo pure 10 buffet the
storms Oh life's tempestuous sea. He
treads the earth With niutiled footsteps.
culls the bright-eyed flowers that clus-
ter round the fireside, and floats off Oh
snowy pinions TO the land beyond the
stars, where the redeemed ones, who
left us 70 walk earth's path alone, are
shining in heavens jeweied diaden.
Yet they are not dead The roses fade,
and leaf by leaf they fall, but they only
wait the sweet breath OF spring to bios
sem anew. So the flowers that crown
our pathway have folded their bright
petals, and, though unseen, still hover
near, exhaling their sweet perfume to
keep lis bright and pure until, at Gods
bidding. they shall come again to bear
our souls to the regions OF the ble5t.
There is no death The stars that
east their silver radiance DER us, filling
our hearts with beautiful thoughts OF
the home beyond their realms, go down
TO shine upon u brighter world, to guide
perhaps, some weary pilgrims whose
footsteps linger on the verge of destruc
ton, who, as he gazes upon the ray OF
ligh thrown SO suddenly on his path
way, lifts his eyes and heholds the glory
OF the heavens in all their majesty
beaming down upon him, and feels his
heart swelling With alteration for the
infinite Being who caused light TO shine
upon his path, 'even as he placed the
stars in The Ornament to divide the
light from the darkness"
Then, tell me, is there deatho All!
no. The sunshine OF the coming May
will bring the fragrant blossoms; the
evening shades will sprinkle the blue
arch above with jewels, but who can
tell when we will meet those loved ones
gone before?

The Grand Duchy of Luxembnrg is
situated between the Prussian provin-
ces on the Rhil e, and the French De-
partment de la Moselle, and the Belgi-
an Province Of Luxembourg. 1t con-
tanned, formerly, one hundred and
twenty-seven square miles; but by the
treaty concluded in 1889 between Belgi-
um and Holland, the largest part was
coded to Belgium, SO that the present
Duchy does not contain more than for
ty-six square miles, with 2O6, 200 inhab
itantS.
The language spoken by the mass of
the people is a special idiom of German
mixed with good deal Of WALTON and
French elements. The better and edu-
Gated classes speak French. Good Ger
man is understood, but nowhere spok-
en-; hence both France and Germany
can claim it on that principle of related
languages. The religion of the Duchy
is Catholic.
By the Vienna treaty, concluded in
1915, it became province OF Holland,
but in 1911 it obtained a kind of indie
pendent government, and had its own
constitution and administration. 1t Was
kind oflimited monarchy. The crown
was hereditary in the male line of the
House of Nassau Orange, the recent
royal family of Holland. Henry, the
Kings brother, is Governor General,
and during the three winter months, in
which the Diet used to meet, always re-
sided in the fortress.
The money used in the country is
principally the French coin, though the
Prussian halers and Dutch Ducats are
largely circulated. From times imme-
mortal the Duchy did always belong to
Germany. In the old defunct Diet Of
Frankfort, Luxembourg and the Dutch
province OF Limburg formed part OF the
Confederacy and entitled the King of
Holland to vote in the Diet. They
had to furnish 2, 400 men to the Federal
army, who formed part 9th Army Corps.
The city of Luxembourg itself consists OF
he city proper and three large suburbs.
1t is situated some 800 feet above the
river, that flows near by, and 500 feet
above the level of the North Sea. It is
one ofthe mightiest fortresses OF Europe,
numbering not less than eleven hastions
twenty detached forts, and large num-
Der of strongly fortified crown works.

Yesterday afternoon, during the re-
cess of the Convention, we took stroll
up Main street, with our oleagenious
and good looking young friend, Judge
Will Z. Hanly, Of Mounts STERLING. Our
objective point was Escott's gallery,
where we intended to dazzle his eyes,
beWilder his brain and captivate his
fancy, by introducing him to the master
works Of the painters genius. just at
ter passing Fourth street we We're con-
siderably astonished, and our friend
who without exception, is the most
modest man in Kentucky-taken ''al
aback," by a young and lovely lady
rushing out OF store and throwing
est arms aboutthe Judges neck. Warm,
earnest and heavenly kisses fell upon
his own, from lips that would tempt a
bee to search for honey. Between the
pauses of the kisses she exclaimed
Why, Bill how are you? Kiss
When did you get back Kiss. Where
have you been all this time? Why
have you not been to see us, you queer
old duck, youo' Kiss, kiss.
"Ma-a-a-d-" Kiss, kiss, kiss.
"There, there, you darling kiss Pm
not going to scold you"' kiss, kiss,
kiss, kiss.
Our friends face turned as red as "a
boiled lobster. His eyes stoodout from
his head like the horns of d yearling
calf Perspiration poured down his
cheeks in drops as large as partridge
eggs, and in sufficient quantity to thor
oughly wash his shirt. At last, bycon-
centrating all his strength for a sim
gle decisive effort, the Judge wrenched
himself from the lady's embrace, ex-
claiming as he did so:
"Madam, there's some mistake hereHe
"Good God y cried the lady, when
she discovered she had been wasting
her sweetness on q stranger. Good
God! !" thought it Was Bill Davis"
And in an instant vision OF erinoline
and q Caffre disappearing through a
neighhorng door was all that was WISH
bic of the charming young creature.

lsu,e3.icfi3a Ladies'.

"What do you say, now, to our ia
dies?' said to me a bluff Yankee, as we
sat last night under the veranda, here
in the hotel at Saratoga. "Charming,"
of course, | answered, "pale, delicate,
bewitching; dashing, too, and radiant"
''Hoo - cried he, putting up his hands;
''they are just not worth a On. They
can't walk, they can't ride they can't
nurse.". All, you have no wife, said
|, ia a soothing tone. "a vile ~ he
shouted. ''Id kill her." with kind
uess:n Ugh! he answered, with a
poker. Look at these chits here, dWad-
ling by the fountain. What are they
doing now, what have they done all
day? Fed and dressed. They have
changed their clothes three times, and
had their hair washed, combed and
CURED three times. That is their life.
Have they been out for a walk, Tor a
ride? Have they read d book, have
they sewn a seam?' Not bit OF it.
How do your ladies spend their time?"
s"They put on good boots, tuck UP
their skirts, and bark away through the
country lanes. I was in hampshire
once; my host was duke; his vile was
out before break fast with clogs on her
feet and roses on her checks; she rode to
the hunt, size walked to the copse; a
ditch would not trighten her, a hedge
wouI,. not turn her Jack why, our
women, poor, pale" Come"
said, they are very lovely Ugh!'
said the saucy feow, they have no
bone, no fiber, no Juice; they have only
nerves; but what cab you expect They
eat pearlash for bread; they drink ice
water for wine; they wear tight stays,
thin shoes and barrel skirts. Such
things are not fit 10 live, and, thank
God, in a hundred years not one OF
their descendants will be left alive.N

TIE TALENT OF SUCCESS Every
man must patiently bide his time. He
must wait Not in listiess idleness, not
in useless pastime; not in querulous de-
lection; but in constant, steady, cheer
ful endeavor, always willing, fulfilling
add accomplishing his task, " that
when the occasion comes he may be
equal to the oeeasioH." The talent OF
success is nothing more than doing what
you can do we'll, without thought OF
fame. II it comes at all, it will not
come because it is sought after. 1t is q
very indscreet and Troublesome ann
bition which cares SO much about fame
and about what the world says OF rs, as
TO be always looking in the ace ofothers
for approval, TO beaIways anxious about
the effect Of what we do or say, to be
always shouting to hear the echo OF our

A NOBLE Acr.-An act, touehingly
beautiful in It's nature, came to our
knowledge last week. x lew days pre-
vious, after the family Of Major p. b.

like this deserves to be recorded. by it,,

Bakers Charge that Mrs. Sur.
raft Confessed.

In his narrative of the operations of the
Detective Police at Washington, BAKER
says: rv --. b.. r..a..- . ..a--a. 3D.
'During my visits to the prisoners, be-
fore their execution, Mrs. SuiTdtt confessed
to me her completely acith the conspirdtOrs so far
as the intended abduction was concerned,
but affirmed that she reluctantly yielded to
the urging of Booth in aiding the plot Of dssds-
sindtton. He insisted that her oath of tidel-
ity bound her to see the fatal end of the
conspiracy"
If there is a man of common intelli-
gence in the country who believes the
above to be any thing but an unmitigated
falsehood, he has not the honor of our ac-
quaintance. -f .- ..-'
Against its truth are the solemn declara-
tions of entire innocence made by Mrs.
SURRATT, a Catholic, to her Confessor and
to all allowed to visit her. Is it possible
that she would confess such crime to the
man that, with his myrmidons, was hunt
ing her down and thirsting for her blood,
and deny it to her Father Confessor, when
she knew that few hours was all that she
could possibly live?
In our opinion baser falsehood never
came from man, and as such it will be
viewed by impartial history.

Booths Diary.

'5"9iT9i COLUMBUS, o., May 25, 1857.
9i Mr.. EDIToR: 1 see great deal said in
the newspapers in regard to j.. Wilkes
Booth, the assassination plot, his capture,
death, &c. There are some curious things
in regard to this matter, which it would be
we'll TO have made a little palmer, by our
public tunctionaries, if possible, to satisfy
the doubt in the public mind upon this
subject I will say that never had any
doubts in regard to the generally accepted
story about Booth and the assassination
until recently. The author of these lines
had the honor to be an officer in the United
States army during the war, and a'so the
pleasure of serving and talking in conf
Dental way with Col. Conger soon after
the capture and death of Booth. I in
quired into all the particulars of Booths
capture and his DEATH, of the
Colonel, and there 10 seemed not only
to be no. reserve whatever on his part,
but the Colonel seemed anxious to COM
iniunicate all the minutia of how Re got on
his track, where he found him and how;
but he never intimated to me that. he found
anything like Diary. He spoke OF the
diamond breast-pin and the amount of
money he had. He said the breast-p pin bore
Booths name,p and was presented by some
celebrated songster, the name of whom /
have forgotten Col. Conger said also, that
Booths injury was only a fracture of the
small bone of the leg, and not very bad. /
think there can be no doubt but that the
veritable J. Wilkes Booth is dead, but
really apprehend there is something wrong
about the Diary. 1 think it contains in
ternal evidence of being forgery. /
don't think man of Booths genius in
his profession would have written so bung-
ling thing. think Butler has them on
the Diary. Yours, &c., JUNIUs.

CARD FROM THE a.H'a
AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY J
-Za .5sHr1lni SIR OF .rsGu) aaT msfI
nef7e7 WALTHAM, MASS. sig

THIS Company beg leave to inform the public
that they commenced operations in 1850, and their
fac ory now covers four acres of ground, and has
cost more than million dollars, and employs over
700 operatives. They produce 75,OOo Watches q
year. and make and sell not less than one half of all
the Watches sold in the United States r.f-al
The difference between their manufacture and
the European. is briefly this: European Watches
made almost entirely By hand. and the result is
of necessity lack of that uniformity which is in
dispensable to correct time keeping. Both the o Q
and the hand of the most skiIlful operative must
vary. But it is fact that, except Watches of the
higher grades, European Watches are the product
of the cheapest labor of Switzerland and the result
is the worthless Ancres, Lepines and called Pat
emit Levers-which 500 cost more in attempted re-
pairs, tt their original price. Common orkmen,
boys and women, buy the rough separate parts of
these hes from various factories, polish aud
put them together, and take them to the nearest
Watch merchant, who stamps and engraves them
with any name or brand that may be ordered.
HOW AMERICAN WATCHES ARE MADE.
The American W altham Watch is made by no
such uncertain process-and by no such iucompe-
tent workmen. All the Company's operations from
the reception of the materials to the completion
of the Wa atcr, are carried on under one roof and
under one skillful and competent direction. But
the great Distinguishing feature of their Watches
is the fact that their several parts are all made BY
the finest, the most perfect and delicate machinery
ever brought to aid of human industry Every
one of the more than hund ed parts of every
Watch is made by machine-that infallibly re-
produces every succeeding part with the most un-
varying accuracy. It was only necessary to make
perfect Watch of any particular style and then
to adjust the hundred machines necessary to re-
produce every part of that W atch. and it follows
that every succeeding Watch must be like it.
The Company respectfully submit their Watches
on their merits only. They claim o make - ..
A BETTER ARTICLE FOR THE MONEY
by their improved mechanical processes than can
be made under the old-fashioned handicraft sys-
tenn. They manufacture Watches of every grade,
from good low priced and substantial article, in
solid silver hunting cases. to the finest chronome-
ter; and also ladies' Watches in plain gold or the
finest enameled and jeweled cases; but the indis-
pensable requisite Of all their atches is that they
shall be GOOD .TIMEKEEPERS! 1t should be
remembered that, except their single lowest grade
named Home Watch Company, Boston," ALL
WATCHES made by them -uo" .n -' i''it f.
ARE FULLY WARRANTED
by a special certificate, and this warrantee is
good at all times against the Company or its agents.

Serious IDjury.

On the 9TH of April last a Mrs. Minnie
Russell, while crossing the track of the
Michigan Central railroad at Comstock,
near Kalamazoo, was struck by a passing
freight train and injured seriously, having
received a bad blow on the head, besides
having two ribs broken, one of which
passed Up through her shoulder, causing
incurable injuries. The train was a
very heavy one, and going down a
steep grace, which rendered it a mat
ter of sheer impossibility to check speed
sufficiently to allow her to get off the track
in time to avoid being strurk. The engi-
neer came to halt as quickly as possible,
when he detached his engine and ran with
all speed for a surgeon, and otherwise did
all in his power to alleviate the unfortuate
woman's sufferings. She came to this city
