bought and gave her the cake she
wanted. She then took her to another
place, where she procured her a

The grateful little creature looked the

One.Armed Ingenuity.

At PennsyLvaniaburg, Ripley Coun-

case of one armed ingenuity. Robert

kindred, who had to earn his bread
by hard, daily labor, early in the war.

service as a private in Gen. Spooner's

But his wife accepted the situation,
and was willing to laugh at poverty
and help her husband to earn their

has little boat, in which he must carry, from
one side Of river to the other, wolf, goat,
and cabbage, and must not carry more than
one of these at once. Which shall hetake first.
without the risk that, during one of his navi-
cations, the wolf may dcvour the goat, or tho
goat the cabbage. Supposehecarrythe wolf, the
cal blge is lost-if the cabbage, the goati de-

for he must risk his goat, or his cabbage, on
:he other side of the river. The answer is:-
lie must take the goat first, the wolf will not
TOUGH the cabbage, in the second passage hc
carries the cabbage, and brings back the goat:

again be safely left with the cabbage. He con-

ExTRAcT-Whcn the summer day ofyouth
is slowly wasting away into the nightfall ofage,
and the shadows of the past years grow deeper
and deeper, as life wears to close, it is pleas
antto lcok back through the vista of time up
on the sorrows and felicitiesof our earlier years.
If we have home to shelter and hearts to re-
ioice with us, and friends have been gathering
together around our firesides, then the rough
places of our wayfaring will be worn and
smoothed away, in the twilight of life, while
the sunny spots we have passed through will
grow brighter and more beautiful. Happy in
deed are they whose intercourse with the world
has not changed the tone of their holier feel
ings. or broken those musical chords of the
heart, whose vibrations are so melodlous, SO
tOndor and touching III the evening OF age.

SNAKEs.-About a month ago, while on our
way to Charlottesville, when the snow was six
inches deep, We saw what we believed to be a
snake track IN the snow; but knowing, from
what we learned from the 'history of snakes,
that they did not crawl in cold weather, we on
" mentioned the circumstance to one gentle
man. Mr. Purvis, who laughed at tie idea of
a snake crawling in the snow.
We came to the conclusion to say nothing
more about that snake track /: but as they have
been killing snakes on Mrs. Dr. Grannts farm,
three miles above ScottSville, we feel it our du-
tv to publish the facts in the case. During
tine past three weeks, four snakes-one striped,
and three blacl-were killed on his farm-one
WIS in the sprng-one near the spring-and
the other two were crawling on ice and snow
one was an unusually large black snake
and all seemed disposed to make battle We
leave it to the naturalists to account for all this

POLITICAL.
THINE OWN.

The following beautiful and touching verses, by
a New Orleans lady, were written farewell to
her husband during her illness and in prospect OF
an early departure to the better land:
Call me no more thine own-the summer
SO loved by me, shall never come again!
| scarce shall look upon the springs pale flowers,
And in this life OF wcariness and pain
Shall be no more thine own.
The spring shall wake fresh verdure in the vale;
Freed from gray winter. blue shall glow the sky;
But ere the swect-brcatbed yioets grow pale
This fading form low in the dust shall lie,
And be no more thine own.
The shadow of the parting hour is nigh
1t falls dear one, upon my heart and thine;
Alas to leave the" when lfe's morning hour
Is goldened DER by love almost divine
To be No more thine own.
soon shall leave thee! thou, beloved, wilt feel
gloomy shadow DER thy pathway thrown;
And all too soon the truth will DER thee steal,
That in this dreary world thou art alone,
And no more thine own.
No more thine own To wake for thee at eve
The chords of music sweetest 10 thine ear;
To love thee still alike through JOY or grieve,
To be thy truest friend. of all most dear,
But not on earth thine own.
On these near hills whose beauty never fades,
Ny lingering feet shall rest. Oh, do not weep
Thou too shalt dwell where sorrow ne'er invades,
With Him who gveth Ms beloved sleep,
And shall be thine own.

The WESTERN WHEAT CRoP.-A writer in
che st. Louis Democrat makes some observa
tions on the coming wheat crop of st. Louis
county. which as the weather has been similar,
will probaly apply throughout the West. He
says:
Wheat was sown throughout the country to
larger extent than in any previous year. In
the moist and warm ground it germinatei and
sprouted within four or five days, and contin-
ued growing until the frosts of the latter part OF
November, when it showed a robust stand,
such as has not been seen for many fall. The
thick coat of snow (also grumbled at as mat
ter of course) now covering the ground, is an
other blessing. That snow shelters our wheat
as under universal hothouse, and good one,
too, keeping the plant alive, but not allowing
It's growth. which is its best possible condition

Whom Not To Marry.

A southern editor expresses himself annoyed
in behalf of the fair sex at the reception of the
following, and yet inconsistently publishes it:
"Never marry woman whose love for you will
depend upon the qualification of her wants, or
of her love Of power. For however ardently
she may profess an attachment to you, or ex-
tol you to Others, or take pridein hearing your
good qualities praised, you may rest assured
that the moment you venture to interfere with
what she considers her sole prerogative, even
though it be the discharge of solemn duty,
or an exercise of the rights which, as protec-
tor and provider for your family, you possess.
both in law and equity. then she will hate you
as cordially as she loved, and not to be at all
backward in calling you very ugly names to
your face No matter for your excuses, or for
disclaimers of malicious or spiteful intent, you
are a lost man so far as your domestic peace is
concerned take my word for it.
