mother Of a mighty race, 4ea
. Yet lovely in thy widowe ed grace
The younger DANES, thy naughty peers,
Admire and hate thy honored years;
With word of shame b
And taunts ofscorn they join thy name.
Ay, let them rail-Ihose naughty ones;
While safe thou dwellest with thy sons!
They do not know how loved thou art,
How many fond and fearless heart
-7E Would rise to throw ee tf%
Its life betw zen thee and the foe.
They know not in their hate and pride,
What virtues with thy children bide-
How true, how good thy graceful maids
Make bright like flowers, the valley shades,
- Whatigenerous men ff =,
Spring, like thy oaks, by hill and glen.
Oh, dear loved mother! on thy brow
Shall sit a nobler grace than now,
Deep in the brightness of thy skies,
Ihe thronglng years In glory rise,
And, as they feel,
Drop strength and riches at thy feet.
Thine eye, with every coming hour,
Shall brighten, and thy form shall tower;
And when thy sisters, younger born,
Would brand thy name with words Of scorn.
Before thine eye,
Upon their lips the taunt shall die.

PERILoUs SLEEP.-The Union of the
11th inst, says that about eleven o'clock
A. NJ, on Sunday last, as the westward
bound freight train of the Central Pa
cifc Railroad was travelling along a short
distance this side Of Secrettown bridge,
man was discovered sitting on one Of
the rails, not far ahead of the engine,
fast asleep, with his head between his
knees. An attempt was made to stop
the train, but before it could be done the
pilot of the locomotive GrowIer struck
and knocked the man from the track,
causing him to roll down the embank-
ment The train was backed up, and
the unfortupate individual looked after.
Being covered with dirt, somewhat
bloody, ind apparently unconscious, he
appeared mortally wounded An en-
gineer took occasion to say that he must
have been a fool to make his bed
on railroad track, anyway. He had
scarce finished the remark, however,
before the supposed to be as good as .
dead man jumped up and declared his
ability to whip any man who would
insult him. Having thus found his voice,
the man soon convinced those present
that he was not much hurt, though quite
drunk.

'See here, Mr.. Smith, you're drunk ;
and if you can't behave better than that,
you'd better leave. IF you don't, I'll
chuck you out, or I'm Dutchman."
.'Mr. Thompson, Sir" said Smith,
frantic with dispair, sit may not be un-
known to you that my earthly possessions
are engaged to enter wedlock five years
with sufficiently lonely man, who is not
good for commercial maintenance
"The deuce he isn't. Now, you just
git up and git, or Ell knock what little
brains out of you you've got left
With that, old Thompson took Smith
and shot him into the street as if he'd
run him against locomotive going at
the rate of forty miles an hour. Before
old Thompson had time to shut the front
door, Smith collected his legs and one
thing and another that were lying around
on the pavement, arranged himself in a
vertical position, and yelled out:
"Mr. Thompson, Sir: 1t may not be
known to you''-which made the old
man so wretched mad that he went out
and set bull terrier on Smith before he
had time to lift brogan, and there was
scientific dog fight, with odds in favor
of the dog, for he had an awful hold for
such a small animal.
Smith afterward married the girl, and
lived happily about two months. AT the
end of that time, he told a confidential
friend that he would willingly take more
trouble and undergo million more dog
bites to get rid of her.

An Unfortunate widow.

Sol. Smith related the following odd
occurrence during his peresrinations in
Georgia:
Between Caleba Swamp and Line
Creek, in the eNation," We saw consid-
cradle crowd gathered near drinking
house, most Of them seated and smoking.
We stopped to see what was the matter.
1t was Sunday, and there had been a
quarter race for gallon of whisky. The
first thing noticed on alishting was the
singular position Of one Of the horses Of
the party. lie was kneeling down and
standing on his hinder feet, his head
wedged in between the ends of two logs
of grocery, and he was stone dead,
having evidently run directly against the
building at full speed, causing the house
the house to partially fall.
About five PAGES from the horse lay
the rider, quite senseless, with cash in
his throat which might have let out a
thousand lives. AS l said, most of the
crowd were seated and smoking.
"What is all this ?" inquired. "What
is the matter here ?''
"Matter 7" after awhile answered one
in drawling voice, giving good spit,
and refilling his mouth with new quid.
"Matter enough; there's been quarter
race"
ssBut how came this man and horse
killed ?" I asked.
"Well," answered the chewing and
splitting gentleman, "the man was con-
siderably in liquor, reckon, and he ran
his hoss chuck against the house, and
that's the whole on it."
"Has doctor been sent for ?" inquir-
ed one of our party.
II reckon there ain t much use of doc
tors here" replied another of the crowd.
Burnt brandy would not save either of
them, man or hoss."
"Has this man wife and children p"

ground short distance from the dead
man, smoking composedly.
