YEsTERDAY.-Friday has always been
considered an unlucky day in many re-

local items were more than usually dull
The magistrates courts were devoid Of

argues well for the mOTalt5 of the city

Daniel Webster, referring TO his own
lowly origin and his birthplace, gave
utterance to sentiments which did him
honor; and which will find responsive
echo in many hearts
1t is only shallow-miudcd pretenders
who make either distinguished origin Il
matter of personal merit, or obscure
origin matter of personal reproach. A
man who is not ashamed of himself need
not be ashamed of his early condition.
1t did happen to me to be born in n log
cabin raised among the snow-drifts OF
New Hampshire, at a period so early
that when the smoke first rose from its
rude chimney and curled over the frozen
hills, there was no similar evidence OF
white mans habitation between il and
the settlements on the rivers of Canada.
It's remains still exist: | make it an
annual visit. ! carrymy children toit and
teach them the hardships endured by
the generations before them. ] love 10
dwell on the tender recollections, the
kindred ties the early affections, and the
narrations and Incidents which mingle
with all know of this primitive family
abode; | weep to think that none who
then inhabited it are now among the
living; and if I ever fail in ailectionate
veneration for him who raised it, and de-
| fcnded it against savage violence and
destruction, cherished all domestic com
! forts beneath its roof, and through the
! fire and blood of seven years revelation
ary war, shrunk from no toll, no sacrifice,
| to serve his country, and to raise his
children to condition better than his
own, may my name and the name OF my
posterity be blotted from the memory OF
mankind.

A beautiful Passage.

II cannot be that earth is mans only
abiding place. 1t cannot be that our life
is bubble cast up by the ocean OF eter-
nity to float moment upon its waves
and sink into nothingness. Else why is
it the high and glorious aspirations that
leap like angels from the temple of our
hearts, are forever wandering unsatis-
fled? Why is it that the rainbow and the
cloud come over us with n beauty that is
not of earth, and then pass off to leave
us to muse on their loveliness? WHY'S
il that the stars which hold their festi-
val around the midnight throne, are set
above the grasp of our limited faculties;
forever mocl1ing us with their unap-
proachable glory? And, finally, why is
It that bright forms of human beauty
are presented to our view and taken
from us; leaving the thousand streams OF
affection to flow back in an Alpine tor
rent upon our hearts? We are born. for
oil higher destiny than that of earth
There is "a realm where the rainbow
never fades; where the stars will spread
out before us like the islands that slum-
ber on the ocean, and where the shadows,
will stay for ever in our presence

swinburne the Poet.


A correspondent of the Galaxy draws
the following portrait of Mr. Swinburne,
of poetic and erratic note. He says:
The mouth is feminine, the brain re-
gions of the head massive. He is the
son of Admiral Swinburne; his mother
is Lady Jane Ashburnham. The Swim
burnes are one of the oldest families in
England, the Ashburnhams are histori-
cal. His parents not only belong TO the
aristocracy, but to a very exclusive set
within it, composed of Catholics of old
blood, who form clique of their own,
somewhat like that of the ancient Codini
families at Florence. Mr.. Swinburne
waseducated in France, in The Ultramon-
tame fashion and went afterward to Eton,
then to Oxford. While at the Universe
ty, he commenced a respondenrew with
Charles Baudelaire, French poet some-
thing between Shelley and Edgar Poe
almost unknown in England, and whose
poems had been suppressed by the pa
ternal government in Paris. / am not
aware that Mr.. Swinburne has much
taste for the brainless dancing girls who
fill up the English sctiOn, and who have
nothing to recommend them but personal
beauty, polished manners and agile
limbs. He is of opinion, believe, that
UONttU dGc tile OIill III ttilildHl ioi IL
man of intellect, and that old women
are the best. 1t is scarcely necessary to
mention Mr.. Swinburne's great acquire
ments as linguist. / have heard some
of his acquaintances declare that he is
| wanting in reverence, and even in ap-
probation, and therefore is no true poet.
But this is not the case. He i9 the most
passionate intellect-lover ever met He
admires most intensely Iiandor, Baude-
laire (whose poems, even in the emascu-
lated form, are very splendid,) Balzac,
whom he considers, since Shakespeare
the greatest master of the human heart
and Henri Boyle Stendhal. He declares
that Ezekiel intoxicates him; Isaiah he
considers as an inferior poet. He con
siders Edgar Poe the literary gcpius OF
this country; praises especially Tho
Raven" " the "Bells, and some of his
tales. He is fond of reciting Matthew
Arnold's "Merman" poem. lie is not an
enthusiastic admirer of Tennyeon Ol
Browning, and expresses great scorn
for all poets of inferior degree. -

POWDER MILLS NEAR xENIA
BLOWN UP.
Terrific Espiosion--Two Lives. Lost.
Horrible Muftlatfon.

Special Dispatch 10 the Cincinnati Gazette.
YELLOW. SPRINGS, VIA XENIA, o.,
March ~, 1867.
The dry house of King e. Dickey,s
Powder Mill, situated on the Little
Miami Railroad, three and half miles
south of this town, blew up this morn
ing at twenty minutes past o'clock.
There were about ten tuns OF powder
In the building at the time the explosion
took place.
Two men, Jasper Luck and Ira Nc
Managan, were instantly killed, and hor-
ribly mutilated.
The latter was thrown distance Of
three hundred feet from the building,
and literally blown to pieces, his bowels
being torn out, and his Limbs, hands, feet,
and other parts of his body being scatter
ed here and there.
He had been soldier, and while in
the army had finger shot off of one
hand. BY this his mangled remains
were recognized.
The other man was badly mutilated,
and could not be recognized. He was
thrown nearly quarter of Il mile from
the building.
The explosion was most terrific. Every
portion of the fated house was swept
away, and only the biackened and torn
up ground indicated where it stood.
Every building within circuit of q
quarter of mile was more or less in
jured.
Several persons were prostrated by the
shock, and a child was considerably in.
jured by a portion of the exploded build
ing falling upon it.
The Little Miami river runs near the
scene of the explosion, end for consid
cradle distance the water was swept from
| the bed and poured in food upon the
neighboring fields.
! Glass was blown from the windows o
the houses in Oldtown,: ,:two miles south
of the mill.
| The Notwithstanding was ftlriously
/ ripped from the sides OF large barn more
. than an eighth of mile away.
! For minute and half after the ex
| plosion, the air was horribly conYulsed
and terrific sounds, resembling sic 'es
/ sion of heavy thunder claps and rolls
| could be heard in every direction.
The graining mill of this establish
| has been blown up frequently before, bu
/ this is the first time the dry-house hal
experienced like fate.
The mills are widely known rs thost
of the Miami Powder Company. Til,
| arrangement in business will be at oncr
relieved. Temporary arrangements vii
be made for continuing, and the mil
regularly supply the trade as heretofore
The entire loss of the Company by tn,
explosion will not fall short OF 00UO.

Ysomebody's Darling. ("

Into ward OF the white-wnshed walls,
Where the dead and the dying lay
Wounded by bayonets, shells, and balls
Somebody's darling was borne one day.
SQmebody's darling! so young and so brave,
Wearing stilhon his pale, sweet face,
Soon to be hid by the dust Of the grave,
The lingering light Of his bOyhood's grace.
Matted and damp are the curls of gold
Kissing the snow OF that fair young brow;
Pale are the lips OF delicate mould
Somebody's darling is dying now.
Back from the beautiful, Dlue-yeined face
Push every wandering sllben thread;
Cross his hands as a sign Of grace
Somebody's darling is still and dead.
Kiss him once for sotnebody's sake,
Murnur aprayer soft and low, .... .
One bright curl from the cluster take
They were somebody pride, you know.
Somebody's hand hath rested there;
Was il n mothers, soft and white?
And have the lips of a sister fair ...
Been baptized In those waves of light?
God knows best. He has somebody's love;
Somebody's heart was cnshrincd there!
Somebody waited his name above,
Night and morn. on the wings Of prayer.
Somebody wept when he marched away,
Looking SO handsome, brave ana grand;
Somebody's kiss on his forehead lay;
Somebody clung to his parting hand.
Somebody's watching and waiting for him,
Yearning to hold him again to her heart;
There he lies-with the blue eyes dim,
And his smiling, childlike lips apart.
Tenderly bury the fair young dead,
Pausing to drop on his grave n tear,
Carve on the wooden slab al his head
Somebody's darIiHg lies buried here!"

The Crops In west virginia.

The result of considerable inquiry rs
to the fruit prospect in the immediate
vicinity of Moundsville indeed of West
Virginia, and the regions of country ad-
iacent, is that it is good. Should the bal
ance of the season prove as favorable as
that portion through which We have
passed, the lovers of fruit may look for
ward to q bountifull supply at moderate
presses itself grateful that "there is one
bright spot in the generally unpleasant
aspect Of business affairs" 1t says the
wheat crop throughout the country looks
well, and promises cheap bread for the
