Beautiful Tribute to a Wife.

Sir james Mcintosh the historian, was
married to Miss Catherine Stuart, q young
Scotch lady. After her dsath he depicted
her character, in letter to u friend -
Il was guided in my CHOICE only by tho
blind affections of my youth. I found an in
telligent companion and tender friend,
prudent monitress, the most faithful of wives
and a mother as tender as children ever
had the misfortune to lose. I met a woman
who by tender management of my weaknesses,
gradually corrected the most pernicious of
them. She became prudent from affection
and though of the most generous nature sho
was taught frugaity and economy by her
love for me. During the most critical period
of my life she relieved me. She gently re-
claimed me from dissipation she propped
my weak and irresOlute nature she urged
my Incidence to all the exertions that have
been useful and creditable to me, and she
was perpetually at hand to admonish nay heed
lessness or improvidence. To her owe what
ever shall be. In her solicitude for my in.
terest she has never forgot my feelings or
character. Even in her occasional resent
ment, for which too often gave her cause
would to God could recall those moments
she had no sullenness or aerimouy. Her
feelings were warm-nay, impetuous; but
she was placable, tender aud constant. Such
was she whom have lost, when her actual
natural sense was improving, after eight
years struggle and distress bound US fast TO-
gether and nodded our tempers to each 9TH

fined my youthful love into friendsh:p, aud
before age had deprived it of much of its
original ardor l lost her-and alas tho
choice of my youth, the partner of my mis-
fortunes, at moment when 1 had the pros
pect of her sharing my better days"

A Bachelors Defence.

Bachelors are styled by married men who
have got their foot in it, as only half perfect
ed beings, cherries vagabonds, but half a
pair of scissors, and many other ridiculous
titles are given to them; while on the other
hand they extol their state rs one of such
perfect bliss that q change from earth to
heaven would be somewhat of doubtful
good. II they are SO happy, why don't they
enjoy their happiness and hold their tongues
about it i? Simply that they may have some
body to darn their stockings, sew buttons on
their shirts; and trot babies; that they may
have somebody, as a married man said once,
"to pull off their boots when they are little
balmy."
These fellows are always talking about the
loneliness of bachelors. Loneliness, indeed
Who is petted to death by ladies with mar
riageable daughters-invited to tea aud even
ing parties, and told to drop in just when it
is convenient ?-the bachelor
Who lives in clover all his days, and when
he dies has flowers strewn on his grave by tho
girls who could not entrap him ?-the bach>
elor.
Who str9wed flowers on the married mans
grave-the widow? Not n bit of it; she
pulls down the tombstone that six weeks
grief had set up in her heart she goes and
gets married again, she does.
Who goes to bed early because time hangs
so heavily on lis shoulders ?-the married
man.
Who gets scolding for picking out tho
softest part of the bed, and for waking up the
baby in the morning ?-the married MAJ
Who has wood to split, house. hunting and
marketing to do the young ones to wash and
lazy servants to look after ?-the married

Radicalism Ineurable.

{ Radicalism, considered as a disease, may
be placed in the same catalogue with those
cutaneous eruptions which indicate, and are
produced by, am unhealthy condition of the
blood. This political disease, at first epi-
demic. gradually spread itself in all direc
tions, until at length it became epidemic ip
its character, and alarmingly prevalent in all
classes of society. Like the itch, it IS con-
tagious, and assumes its most malignant form
in persons whose Southern proclivities, or
democratic principles have been overcome by
the love of fat offices. Those who have the
love of their country at heart, and who ear
nestly desire to see the "Body Politic" cured
of this foul disease, while it is confined to the
surface, and before its virus has reached the
organic life of constitutional liberty, have not
as yet discovered remedy for its cure. The
best course to be pursued by persons living
where they are brought in contact with those
who have this complaint-.and especially those
who find the struggle between political hon
esty with poverty for an income, and radical
corruption with greenbacks and the contempt
OF the people for heritage, hard one-is
to prepare their systems to resist the malaria,
which emanates from radical assemblies, by
reading the Constitution daily, the Biogra-
ply of the signers of the Declaration of In
dependence once week, and Washington's
Farewell Address before going to church
every Sunday morning.
Ifa cure for this wide spread disease should
be discovered, it will be patented at once, and
agencies for the sale of it established through
out New England and West Virginia.

CERTAIN CURE FOR FoUNDER.-As soon
as you discover that the horse is foundered,
take him to the nearest branch OF stream of
water and tie him in it, standing in the water
nearly up to his belly-his head being SO high
be cannot drink. Ifthe weather is warm, let
him stand in the stream several hours; then
take him out. rub his legs thoroughly TO
promote circulation, and again tie him in the
water, if he is still lame. BY repeating this
process two or three times, the horse will be
efectualIy cured.
If the weather is cold when the horse is
foundered, that is, if it is in the winter, the
horse must not be allowed to stand in the
water more than twenty minutes at time,
wheE he should be taken out and his legs
rubbed diligently till they become dry and
warm and circulation of the blood made
active, and this process must be repeated till
the horse is cured, which viii generally be
within twenty four hours. This remedy will
cost nothing, can do no possible harm, and
will, in every instance, cure, if the disease
has not been too long standing. Don't be
afraid to try it.-RU0L World.

OLDEST TREES IN THE WoRLD.-The cy-
press of Somma in Lombardy, Italy, is per,
haps the oldest tree on record. 1t was known
to be in existence in the time of Julius Caesar
42 years before Christ and is therefore, more
than 1900 years oId.-It is log feet in height,
and 20 feet in circumference at one foot frogI
the ground. Napoleon, when laying down
the plan for his great road over the SimplOn,
a port on the Alps, diverged from the straight
line to avoid injuring this tree. The honor
of superior antiquity, however, is claimed by
some in behalf of the immense, and venerable
tree in Calaveras county, California, which is
supposed, from the number of eccentric cir
oles in the trunk, to be 2565 years old.

IA Remarkable Game of Marbles.

The writer of the ssPen and Ink Sketches"
in the West Florida Commercial; mentions an
interesting little INCIDENT connected with the
retreat southwark Of Mr. Davis and his Cab
met, after the capitulatiQn of Gen. john
ston.
The party had stopped for rest at the res
idence of gentleman near the CataWba river.
The writer proceeds:
His dwelling beautifully situated and sur
rounded by ornate and cultivated grounds,
was reached about four p. NJ. and the charm
ing lady of the mansion, with that earnest
eympathy aud generous kindness which Mr..
Davis in misfortune never failed to receive
from Southern women, soon made every man
of the party forget his cares and feel, DER all
the ills of life victorious"
After such slight renovation and changes
of their trayelsoiied toilets as circumstances
permitted, and an hour of refreshing rest, it,
was novel sight to see Dir. Regan, with u
little son of their host as their ally, playing
an animated and well contested game of mar
bies against his second son, boy of some ten
years supported by General Breckenridge and
another Cabinet officer. The game lasted
nearly an hour, and Notwithstanding the skill
of his opponents, Breckenridge, who plays
the best game Of marbles of any leading pub
lie man since Judge Marshall, and who had
his usual good luck, game off victorious.
The youngsters, two bright. intelligent
Southern boys, will never forget that ardent
" disputed game of marbles with Mr.. Davis,
who, to their infinite delight, seemed as much
at home with all the words of caution aud
command, from eknuckle down at taw" to
'roundin," as themselves.

RERpEruAL MORTON REALIzED.--Wheth-
or mechanical perpetual motion is or is not
among human impossibilities has long been a
disputed point, but what seems realization
of this desideratum in physics, or comes so
near it as to leave the mind at loss and set
argument at defiance, is a piece of mechanism
which belongs to Dr. Loomis of this city
This machine is about 20 inches in height,
and the main feature is vertical wheel, some some
six inches in diameter, upon shaft about
four inches in length. The whole is provid-.
ed with weights, the peculiar arrangement of
which gains, as it were, result between hett
and leverage, which produces an eccentric
poige of the wheel and thus maintaining
constant motion. 1t was produced at an ex>
pense of $4,000, and is the result of many
years labor by man now deceased. 10
whatever status philosophers or physicists
may assign it, it is certainly a marvel, and
has no equal Its separate pieces can easily
be taken apart and examined in its every MI .l
nutia, and when readjusted it assumes its
wontcd motion without any external assist

General Forrest on Politics.

I. The exc Confederate General Forrest has
gone to the New York Fourth of July Con"
vention as delegate. In the course of a
recent conversation he is reported to have
said that it will not be any more curious to
see him in the Democratic Convention than
it was to see Joe Brown, of Georgia, in the
Radical Convent on /; and he adds:
"The Radicals like Joe Brown because he
is Radical. [ suppose the same rule will
apply to me with the Democrats. Why, sir,
the warmest reception I've had since the war
was with General Sherman. I'm not afraid
of the Democratic soldiers or the Republican
soldiers. I like General Hancock, and l
don't believe there is brave or reasonable
Union soldier who dislikes or doubts me as
man. l went into the war because my vote
had been unable to preserve the peace, took
o through ticket, of course, and fought and
lost as much as any one else certainly as
much as [ could. Now the wars over, and
I'm under oath to keep my parole. Suppose
I consider myself an outlaw, and refuse to
take part in what's going on, does that help
me to keep my oath /? Won't folks that are
disposed to be ill-natured say I'm sullen and
dangerous, and only waiting chance to break
ont in fresh place? That's what they have
said Now 1 give the country sort of
hostage, in addition to my parole, when
join an active, organized body of Union men
in the North, and proclaim when l go to
New York that 1 am at least as well recon>
structed as Joe Brown, who was an original
secessionist."

a NEW EXPLOSIVE FoRcE.-The Prus-
sian military schemes have succeeded in pre-
cipitating the explosive liquid known as ni-
tro-glyceriDe, and in reducing it to a solid.
The advantage of this Transformation is that
its combustibility is considerably diminished,
while its explosive force remains the same,
and it is thus rendered more manageable and
fitted for military purposes. Shells filed
with it, fred from guns of moderate calibre,
are said to have smashed the strongest cuirass
that ever yet protected the sides of an iron
eased ship; and if half what is stated BY the
Prussian papers on the subject be true, the
art of defence in war is still in its infancy,
and will be tremendously cogtlT baPthns
to rear.
