Singular Episode of Married Life.

The New Albany Qnd.) Ledger relates,
on what it claims to be unimpeachable
authority, the following singular case,
which occurred in Franklin township,
Floyd County, Ind:
The latest and most singlar sensations
that Franklin township has produced,
was told us by two as respectable citizens
as reside in the township. Itseems that
not many weeks ago young couple,
whose names we are requested to sup
press, were married by the Justice Of the
Pence of Franklin township. Eight days
after the marriage, at about midnight,
the young wife left her bed, went out
doors, and remained but a short time
On entering the house she retired to bed
again without speaking TO her husband.
Twice afterward, between her first get
ting up and daylight, the wife left her
bed and went out az at first, remaining
but short time. In the morning her
husband got up quite early and went 10
his work, some distance away; the wife
making no complaint, but remaining I'm
bed after he had left. About 10 o'clock
in the forenoon some children belonging
to another family were playing near the
corn crib that stood upon the farm oecu-
pied by the Young couple, when they
heard the cries of an infant, apparently
proceeding from the corn crib. They
entered the crib, and after a little search
found newly born babe, wrapped up In
quilt, lying in one corner Of the barn.
The newly married wife was its mother,
and it had been born while she was out
the first time during the night. What
is most singular about the affair, neither
the husband nor his grandmother, who
lives with him, suspected that there was
anything of the kind in prospect,

THE Brownsville Ranchero, a paper
published in the interest of the Mexican
Imperialists, charges Escobedo with
having written most bloodthirsty let
ter against all foreigners. He is report
ed to have said that the Mexican people
should take possession fall the property
owned by foreigners and hunt them from
the country. He is said to be particular
ly violent toward "the Yankees" Ifthe
report be true, Escobedo may yet be the
cause of trouble between this country
and Mexico. We could not suffer the
principle of death to all foreigners" to
be carried into practice. But thelMexi-
can news furnished by the Ranchero is
generally of very questionable charac,
ter, and this letter of Escobedo in partic-
ular has much the appearance of a
forgery.

Like the sound OF u great Amen.

And II lay on my fevered spirit
With touch Of infinite calm.

From our discordant life.

Into one perfect peace,
And trembleu away into silence,

unshell them; that they husk corn when
they unhusk it; that they dust furniture
when they undust it, or take the dust
from it; that they skin calf when they

INasermon delivered last Sunday, Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher il said TO have re-
marked that more public men Of emf
nence had started from the business Of
type-setting than probably from. any otff-

this is, but It is pretty certain that there
are few public men who have not been
made eminent by the type-setters--a class
which, if not always great in themselves,
are often the cause of greatness in others.

Disease Produced by sleeping Togethe,


During the night there is considerable
eXhalation from the bodies, and at the
same time we absorb large quantity of
the surrounding air. Two healthy young
children sleeping together will mutually
give and receive healthy exhalations; (;
but an old, weak person near child will,
in exchange for health. return weakness.
A sick mother near her daughter COM
municates sickly emanations to her; il
the mother has cough of long duration,
the daughter will some time cough and
suffer by it; if the mother has pulmon-
airy consumption, it will ultimately be
communicated to her child. 1t is known
that the bed of q consumptive is a pow
erful and sure source of Contagion, as
well as for men as for women, and the
more so for young persons. Parents and
friends ought to oppose as much as in
their power the sleeping together of old
and young persons, of the sick and of
the healthy. Another reason ought to
forbid every mother or nurse keeping
small children with them in bed; not
withstanding the advice of prudence, no
year passes that we do not hear of a new
involuntary infanticide. A baby full of
life, health and vigor in the evening is
found dead the next morning, suffocated
by its parents or nurse.

Letter from Gen. po..or.n..

Gen. Rosecrans was lately invited to
attend the Union ratification meeting I'm

he sent long letter, from which we ex-
tract the following:
1t is clear TO me that we must have a
National party for the future, and equally
so that its bones, sinews, life-blood and
intellect must come from the Union men
of the country. fought to be, and must
be, composed Of those who, when told
the nation is lost" bravely answered,
"Never till we perish shall this catastro-
phe to human liberty be recorded "-of
those men whose thus tried courage gave
promise of that magnanimity which I
have so often witnessed with thrill of
secret pride and joy that filled me with
hope and confidence in our future. If j
could / would say to those brave men
who now frankly accept the decision of
the questions they fought on, cast your
lot with the Union men of this nation,
whoopposed and fought you-trust them.
Let not few extremists, excited by
vague or unfounded apprehensions, by
personal, interest or ambition, prevent
you from meeting the great body of the
National Union men represented bX Con-
gress, and closing forever the agitation

We shall not become excited against you
because few hot-headed or few decay
ing politicians attempted to work on
your feelings for their own advantage
Meet us with trust and cordiality; satisfy
the approximations leven If you know
they are unfoundedD of true though
uniformed loyalty, and you will find
us brave, truer, andmore generous friends
than those who claim, par etceitence, to
admire you and deplore your present sit
uation. These are my profound convic-
tions. l rely on the men who fought
and labOred for the utility of the nation
to be the most intelligent and persistent
maintainers of the autonomy of the
States against the extremes of anarchy
or consolidation. / know the men of
the South ought, by the instincts of con-
servatism, courage, and interest, to be

is obvious that there should be no wayer-
ing in cur support of the present general

may or may not require modification. No
Representative ought to be elected to

is more important than detail.

"APTER THE BATH. ,

Her skin is fresh, and cold and pink,
But warm and red the lips press,
And all her beauty seems To shrink
Compacter In her elinging dress;
While o'er her shoulders to her hip,
Ger swelling bust and far adown,
In trailing gold the tresses drip,
Which forms at night her braided crown.
No more her eyes In languor swim,
But flash with gay, cOquettish strife;
And every pulse, and every limb
Is thrilling into radiant life;
Her cheek hath caught ruddier stain,
And her small feet in sand that sink
Are marble-white, with many vein
Down to tho almond-nails OF pink.
