Sentimental Recital.

Twas at the close Of glorious
summer day-the sun was fast set
ting behind a distant hog pen--the
chickens were going to roost--the
bullfrogs were commencing their
evening songs--the pollywogs, in
their native mud puddles, were pre-
pairing themselves for the shades OF
night, and Sal and myself sat upon
an antiquated log, listening to the
music of nature-tree-t -toads, roos
ters and grunting pigs, while now
and then the mellow music of dis
tant iaclass was waited to our ears
by the gentle zephyrs that sighed
among the mullen stalks, and came
heavy ladened with the delicious
odor of henroosts and pig styes.
The last lingering rays of the set
ting sun glanced from the brass
buttons of a solitary horseman, and
shone through a knot-hole in the
hog pen into SAILS face, dyeing her
hair with an orange peel hue, and
showing off my thread-bare coat to
a bad advantage. One arm was
around SAILS waist, my hand resting
on the small of her back-she look
ed like a grasshopper dying with
the hiccups, and l felt like a mud
turtle choked with a Goldfish ball.

cal as that Of dying swan, "will

The name of Captain Rodney

fore the State Convention on the 4th
of March, for the nomination for
q second term, unless he be obiec-
tionable. Probablyno one can just
ly say anything against Captain
FOos as a man or as an officer
There is no better Republican in
the State, and no better Clerk. His
office, and dockets, and files, are al
ways in good order, and show him
to be the man for the cplace, It has
taken Captain Foos the most OF his
first term to bring order out of con-
fusion, and to arrange and systema-
tie the business of the office, which
he attends to himself, aud not by
proxy. 1t would seem not only
rulable, but also right, that, being
in the office and having accommo-
dated his private affairs to it, he
should have the benefit of q second
term. REPUBLICAN,.

GRAHr,-Harper's Weekly says
it precisely "The General does not
say much, but his acts are very elo-nt
quent. They are so eloquent, in
deed, that those who have been
sorely troubled by his silence, have
no further doubts of his meaning.
He means to obey the laws, and not
to aid the President in thwarting
them"

Such a circumstance certainly is
unusual, and we may regard it in
the light of a coincidence. AS
coincidence does not prove propo.

Color IN THE HoRsE.-It is an
old expression that q good horse
cannot be Of a bad color; still we
fud that the ready sale Of a horse
depends largely on his color.
Some hues are strongly objected
to, and prejudice is carried so far
as to deny merit to an animal not
marked according to the standard
of the critic. We have not much
faith in color, believing that good
qualities are not partial to any
particular hue. White horses, it
is claimed, live to the greatestage.

to regulate or strengthen the front teeth,
which become crooked from neglect, that
we think it advisable to call the attention Of
parents to the subject; so that the back teeth
may be filed, and the front teeth noticed
whilst children are cutting their second set,
SO as to prevent their coming irregular.
Children shed, or lose but ten teeth from the

Southern Russia It is built in a
struggling line, the main and only
street beingtwice as wide as Pic
cadiily at it's widest part. It may
extend perhaps a long English
mile. perhaps two, from one end
to the ether. The reason Of its
length is that every hut has yard
belonging to it about as large as
GrosVenorsquare, sometimes twice
or three times as large. The yard
serves no. purpose in particular.
1t is9a mere waste of ground. 1t
becomes a huge dust heap in the
summer, and a bog or quagmire
during the rest of the year. The
huts generally situated all alone
at the extreme ofa corner facing
the road, have q peculiarly mis-:
cradle appearance. They are built
of mud and fagots coarsely whit
ened, and hayet thached roofs, usual-
ly with large.hoies in them. Every
hut is divided by a clay stove into
two dim holes, and is doored with
dry manure. This *kirpitch'' is
also the only fuel used. Few of
these huts have any windows.
Some Of them have no doors.
