suffered, and represent to myself the strug-
giles and temptations it has passed through,
the brief pulsations of joy, the feverish in
quetude of hope and fear, the pressure Of
want, the desertion of friends. would fain
leave the erroing soul of my fellowman with
Him from whose hand it came.
The sieighing in Staunton was .'heavy" last
week. Every body was out, at least those
who could afford it, but a ssfour in hand,
turn out, of the officers Of the Federal Burial
Corps, beat them ALL Valley Vuigiasan.
TPshaw, Sandy, that is nothing. In our city
a team Of ten splendid horses, gaily capari-
soned was witnessed, whilst sturn outs Of
six and eight horses was common greeting
to the eye. But, for town like Staunton,
we suppose ga four in hand'' was quite an
event. Wsuichsster Times.
It was. but who droyethe ssten-in hand in
your city !?

To MAKE ToUGH BEEF TENpER.-The Lon
don Queen says: To those who have worn
down their teeth in masticating poor tough
COW beef, we will say that carbonate of soda
will be found a remedy for the evil. Gut the
streaks the day before the using, into slices
about two inches thick, rub over them a small
quantity of soda, wash off next morning, cut
it into suitable thickness, and cook to notion.
The same process will answer for fowls, legs
of mutton, etc. Try it, all who love delici-
GUS tender dishes of beef
| PERSONAL RENCoUNTER.-A personal rem
counter took place at Marion, a few days since,
between Mr. Joseph S. Campbell and MIR.
Jackson Killinger, during which the former
shot the latter in the thigh, infieting pain
full but not, it is thought, 9 dangerous wound
! Mr.. Campbell was arrested, and examined
by four Justices, who sent him on to court for
trial. and bailed him for his appearance The
Marion Record says the shooting was unpre-
meditated, and short time before tae difficult
ty the parties were on the most friendly terms.
A LADY.-Some of the s'tilters," of Staun-
ton, ought ito ponder over this: Gas Mrs.
Washington was said to be so grand a lady, y
says celebrated English visitor, Mrs Thorpe,
eve thought we must put on our best bibs
and bands 50 we dressed ourselves in our
most elegant ruties and silk, and were intro
duced to her ladyship; and don't you think
we found her knitting, and with her check
apron on! She received us very graciously
and easily, but after the compliments were
over she resumed her knitting. There we
were without stitch Of work, and sitting In
state; but General Washington's lady, with
her own hands, was knitting stockings for
her husband Does not that sweet republic
can simplicity command your admiration !?
