MISCELLANEOUS.
Wolnan's Fame.

Let shadow darken above the fair fame
of woman-it may be light, even trifling,
yet some there are who will believe it; lying
lips will repeat, and the enVious talk about
what they thought before all of this came
out! Woman is spoken of as a ministering
angel to man so she is, but alas, for erring
woman. Who, among her former companions,
will cheer her wounded spirit with a smile
of pity, and the sweet, soft whisper of $50
and sin no more 2" Are we pure, are we
holy? All, no remember him who bled on
Calvary, around whom tho glory-light was
shining.
A guileless girl lured by fair promises
and her own young hearts passionate and
syren pleading in behalf of her lover, listens,
believes and falls. If angels weep when a
be shed above fate like this she is hurried
the swine of society; others accelerate her
fall, and her own weeping eyes are turned to
the memory of her innocent days. Tears of
repentance are pure from any eyes; but let
her meet one with whom she associated in
those early days. Lo! she "passes by on the
other side," and only looks to see if the shame
brand that touched her character is not blazon-
ed on her brow. Her gaudy robes are the
winding. sheet of dishonor, and their price is
her souls sacrifice. Alas, poor, wounded doe
in the great forest of the world so many
cruel hunters drive thee out from the green
pastures of repentance and even shouldst
thou there lie down, who will bind up the
bruised heart that unkindness hath well nigh
broken?
do not say that fallen woman should be
restored to her former place in society; but
can we not pity even while we condemn
When shadow darkens above the fair fame
of another: listen long and weigh we'll the
matter, ere condemnation leave thy tongue.
With many, honor is their all ; that gone, life
is worthless, for what is more CALLING to
proud woman than suspicion, for it is associ>
ated with life alone? When we pass through
the dark valley, and the great day of reckon
ing comes, He who sits in judgment there
is an impartial Judge, and seeth not as man
and many who wear the mantle of chastity
and the cloak of religion, will be weighed
in the balance and found wanting

A Boys Composition on Corns.

Corns are of two kinds, vegetable and,
animal, Vegetable corns grow. in rows, and
animal corns grow on toes. There are several
kinds of corn; there is unicorn, capicorn,
corn dodgers, field corn, and toe corn, which
Is the corn that you feel most, it is said, L,
believe, that gophers like corn, but person
having corns does not like to ego fur if he
can help it. Corns have kernels and many
colonels have corns. Vegetable corn grows
on the ear. but animal corn grows on the feet,
at the other end of the body Another kind
of corn is the acorn, these grows on oaks, but
there is no hoax about the corn The acorn
is corn with an indefinite article. but tho toe
corn is very definite article indeed Try it
and see. Many man when he has a corn,
he wishes it was an acorn.
Folks that have cOrns, sometimes send for
n doctor, and if the doctor himself is co-ned
he won't do as well as if he isn't. Doctors
say that corns are produced by tight boots or
shoes, which is probably the reason why,
when a man is tight, they say he is corned-
IF farmer manages well he can get good
deal of corn on un acre, but l know farmer
that has one corn, that makes the biggest
acher on his farm. The bigger a crop Of
vegetable corn man raises the better he likes
it, but the bigger a crop of animal corn man
raises, the better he don't like it,

RATES OF ADvERTIslNG
A New Use for Ghosts.

Col H X. D., of Stouewall Jackson's
Staff, sends us an anecdote of ''old Jubal"
from Hagerstown, Marylaud:
In January, '65, 1 left the army about
Petersburg, on short furlough, for the pur-
pose of standing beside several of my fellow
officers, who were bent on marriage, In spite.
of the disjointed times. In my trip visited
Staunton, the Headquarters of "Old Jubal,"'
and the remnant of the gallant little army of
the Valley. The day after my arrival, being
a bright Sunday morning, General Early
surprised his staff by announcing his intention
of going to church, requesting their company.
1t was 4 novel suggestion ON the part o. the
commanding General, and chiefly for that
reason, fear, it met with a ready assent. I
think the congregation OF the EpiScopalT
Church was somewhat astoniShed at the en-
trance of General Early and his large, char
acteristic staff-among whom were some gen
tlemen, whose piety much resembled that of
their chief.
The sermon was good one, earnest and
impressive-the General and staff devout
listeners. Towards its conclusion, where the
exhortation usually comes in, the clergyman
closed his book emphatically, aud raising his
right arm, with emphasis exclaimed
Suppose, my Christian friends, that those
who have laid for centuries IN their graves
should arise now aud come forth from their
quiet resting places; and marching in their
white shrouds should pass before this congre-
CATION, by thousands and thousands, what
would be the result?"
"Ahw exclaimed old Jubal in stage
whisper; "I'd cOLscript every ID one Of
them"
1t was an unfortunate suggestion on the
part of the preacher, for General Early re-
membered the great host of Sheridan and his
own little band, and he would willingly, for
reinforcements as General Grant said, shave
robbed both the cradle and the grave" Aud
such is our natural depravity, that 1. have
forgotten the text of that day, aud all of the
by that irreverent mot Of old Jubal.

VIII Of the Hon. Mr.. Stevens.

The Hon. Thaddeus Stevens will was
admitted to probate at Lancaster, Pa, on
Tuesday. He gives 81 900 to the Juvenile
Library Association of the Caledonia County
Academy, in Peacham, VT, and $500 to the
trustees of the graveyard in which his mother
and brother are buried, in the same town, the
interest of the same to be applied annually ;
and if either of such legacies should lapse,
the same is to 60 to the Baptist church or
meeting nearest to Danville Centre, VT, the
testator's native town. Other bequests are
made to Mr.. Stevens and to his late house,
keeper, Mrs. Smith, $4,000; and of the resi-
due, if amounting to $4,000, $40, 900 is to
be expended by his trustees in erecting in
Lancaster, conditionally, or in Columbia, Pa,
suitable buildings for en- orphan asylum for
INDECENT orphans, without distinction of race
or color. "Neither Germans, Irish, or Ma
homedans, nor any others, on account of their
race or religion, or their parents, must be ex-
cluded. All the inmates shall be educated
in the same classes and manner without regard
to color, They shall be fed at the same table"
The codicil gives the Baptist brethren 81 600
conditionaly, and 81 900 to the Pennsylvania
College at Gettysburg.
The will also contains the following items :
'The furnace property and ali other real
estate may be rented or sold. The furnace
must not be worked longer than to consume
the stock on hand. If, at the end of any five
years Thaddeus, nephew, shall have shown
that he has totally abstained from all intoxi>
eating drinks through that time, the trustees
may convey to him one fourth of the whole
property. If at the end of the next success
sive five years he shall show that he has totally
abstained from all Intoxicating drink, they
may convey to him one fourth, being one half
of the property. IF at the end of another
consecutive five years he shall show that he
has abstained from all Intoxicating drinks.
they may convey the whole to him in fee
simple. If he shall get married before the
house L live in is sold, he shall receive the
same and occupy it without sale"

The World of Wonder.

This world of ours is filled with wonders.
The microscope reveals them not less than
the telescope, each at either extreme of crea-
ton. In the insect creation particularly,
there is so much to knog that has Eever been
dreamed Of-wheels within wheels without
computation of number. Let Us take rapid
glance at the proofs of this statement. The
poIypus, it is said, like tabled hydra, receives
new life, FROM the kaiEe which is lifted to
destroyit. The fy-spider lays egg as large
as itself There are four thousand and forty
one muscles iB the caterpillar Hooke dis
covered fourteea thousand mirrors in the eye
of droDe and to eject the respiration Of
carp, thirteen thousand three hundred arteries,
vessels, veins, bones &c, are necessary. The
body of every spider contains four little
masses pierced with a multitude of imper-
ceptible holes, each hols permitting the
passage of single thread; all the threads,
to the amount of thousand to each mass,
join together when they come out and make
the single thread with which the spider spins
its web SO that what We call spider thread
consists of more than four thousand united.
Leuwhenock, by means of microscopes, OBJ
served spiders no bigger than the grain of
sand, and which spun threads so fine that it
took forty thousand of them to equal in mag
nitude single hair.

A Bride of Eighty-four and Groom Of
Twenty,

A few days ago wedding took place in
this city which has created something of a
sensation, lady of eighty.four years of age
being united to n gushing youth of about
twenty. tits certainly singular affair The
lady is widow and wealthy, owning con-
siderable property and having besides the sum
of about nine thousand dollars in gold, and
number of government bonds laid away The
property of the husband was divided between
the widow and the children. The widow of
late years has not been on good terms with
the children, and has threatened more than
once that she would marry again rather than
leave them the property. Three years ago
she came very near carrying the threats into
execution, but on that occasion the would be
bridegroom considered it was little too much,
even with the money-that difference of over
fifty years between their ages. Some weeks
ago, young man boarding at the house of
relative of the old lady was taken sick
During his illness the lady attended him, and
when he had nearly recovered, intimated to
him that she had large amount of property,
and that she wasted to get married. If he
would marry her and take care of her for
the few years she lived, the property should
be his.
We know not how much persuasion it took
to accomplish the object-if indeed any was
needed. This we do know-a few days ago,
Justice Tucker, of the Eighth ward, united
the two in the holy bonds of wedlock-the
anxious bride of eighty four summers, and
gushing youth of twenty The wedding took
place at residence in this city,in the presence
of only a few friends.
AS soon as they learned of the affair, the
relatives of the lady were naturally very indig-
naut, and we'll they might be. They consider
the affair most scandalous one and have
threatened to arrest the justice who married
the parties, and the gentleman at whose house
they were married. Meanwhile the happy
pair live as costly as brace of turtle doves,
their whole souls apparently wrapped up in
each h0ther.-Wilraukee Wisconsin,

P1CKLING.-The following have found
to be very excellent preparation for picking
bcets, walnuts, cabbage. &c
For every pint of spiced vinegar it is in-
tended to make, take one ounce Of black pep
per, half an ounce of ginger, quarter of an
ounce of ailspice, aud if desired to be hot,
add also quarter of drachm of Cayapne,
or few capsicums. Brsise the whole Of
these materials in mortar AID put them into
a jar or wide. mouthed green glass bottle,
tied over with bladder. Place this in a
saucepan of water, and keep it hot for three
or four days, shaking it now and then. Ifthe
maker has an enamel saucepan. this operation
can be facilitated by simneriDg the iDgredi-
ents together. Spiced vinegar is used hot
for Halnuts aud cold for cabbage.

A NOBLE SENrrMENr.-Hardly

A NOBLE SENTIMENT.-Hardly anything,
is more contemplate than the conceit which
rests merely upon social positioD--the conceit
of those who imagine they are thas divorced
from the clay of common men, of those who
with horror spurn the idea Of work, as some
thing which degrades by its very contact, and
yet who very likely owe their position to some.
not very remote ancestor who recognizing his
call to work, lived more honestly in the world
than they do, and was not ashamed OF soiled
thumbs 1t is one of meanest things for people
to be ashamed of work, from which they draw
theiE Income, and which glOrifed their ances>
tors more with soiled aprons and black gowns,
than themselves with their fine ribbons and
flashing jeweIry. It might be fine thing to
be like the lilies. Advantageous position is
only more emphatic call for work and those
who hold the advantage, may not be compelled
to manual drudgery, but they should recognize
the fact that manual drudgery may be perform
ed in the same spirit as that which charac-
terizes their own work, and, therefore, that
it is equally honest.
