for man than to be united to awoman Of
delicate fibre and weak digestion, who,
upon all occasions, and no occasion,
throws herself Into that incurable and mis-
ery-causing malady-a fit Of Mysteries.
But after all, men must remember, that
women have many sorrows and much
suffering to contend with peculiar to them
selves. The small cares and domestic
troubles Of life fall largely upon them,
and they require much love and affection
to enable them to bear up against the VI
cissitudes Of life. "Men are the oak; wo-
men, the Ivy" The above are the views
Of sensible lady, not seemingly of the

MY Angel Mother.

MY Angel Mother.
an that land beyond the river,
Under skies forever fair,
Dwells my sainted angel mother,
Waiting for my coming there.
One day, DER the silent waters,
At the setting ofthe sun,
Went she with the mystic boatman;
And her earthly life was done.
Much miss her at the twilight,
When the shadows veil the skies;
For she used to sing at evening
Many tender melodies.
Ihaye stood In old cathedrals
Where a hundred singers sang,
But they could not thrill my heart strings,
Like hsr voice, when was young.
She would take the time-wom Bible,
when the lamps were all alight,
And from out Gods Word. she read us
Truths to guide our steps Alright;
And she whispered US OF heaven,
where the many mansions are;
And while she was here among Us,
Heaven seemed not so very far.
With the autumn leaves she faded,
All the woods, before their death
Wear strange though mournful beauty,
That will vanish In breath.
So our mother, ere the angels
Called her DER the shadowed tide,
Wore a strange and heavenly beauty,
Which grew sweeter till she died.
oh, know the angels met her
when the boatman rowed her DER;
And they sang a song OF welcome,
when her feet touched Heavens shore.
There she waits the heayenward coming
the ones she loved on earth,
On her face and heart, the glory
or her new immortal birth.
Sometimes In the twilighrs silence,
can fancy she Is near;
And listen for her blessing,
which feel but do not hear.
Then long to hear her calling,
To that faircr shore than this;
For my heart grows weary waiting
For my angel mothers kiss.

German Takers.

Hartford Courant, Mr.. Warren writes =

LEsAI. LLIGEN CE


The entire morning was occupied with the trial of
prisonee for the larceny of S1700 in certificates of
deposit with Jay Cooke Il Co., and belonging to Will
liam Entwstle at No. 53I North Front street He was
a lOdger in EntwistleIs house. and, according to
his own statement, gained living by
trading in old glass, etc. One night
recently he went to the house and found EntWistle
under the influence Of liquor; sitting beside him. ne
watched his opportunity, and, as testified by
EntwistleIs son, who said he saw the whole trans
action stole the purse from his pocket There were
then in the purse ego in greenbacks and the GER
tl1cates above mentioned Subsequently
he had occasion to 90 into the
cellar, and then, according to the
testimony for the prosecution, hid the purse under
the floor, for subsequently it was found there con-
tanning the certificates but minus the cash. The
child who had seen the prisoner commit the theft
told his mother who upon retiring for the night ap-
prsed her husband and, slngularly enough was
severely beaten for doing But this she attempted
to explain away by saying that he was very drunk.
However, finding that he had been feeced he pro-
cured several policemen and had the prisoner ar
rested. He was searched, but nothing was found
upon him, and he always declared his innocence,
and that the whole affair was a conspiracy against
him. On trial.

The Yellow Fever Raging ut Key West.

The Yellow Fever Raging at Key West.
The latest adyices by mail from Key West
report the yellow fever us still raging, and very
fatal in its results
The Key West DiSpdtch of the 18th ult. says:
-'Telegrams and letters have reached this place
from some of our former residents, now absent,
nquiring if we have fever We answer yes
and add that we now have sufficient material for
it to work upon. Unless your business is of
such character as to warrant the hazard of life
in its prosecution, we advise all of you to stay
away"
In another article the Dispatch says:-''We
neither see how public or private good is to be
obtained by an attempt to conceal the fact that
we are at present rs n town afflicted with fever
of dangerous character. Some of our physi-
clans maintain that it is not yellow fever-very
well we agree that you shall name it blue
black, green, or white, typhoid, or any other
fever The result is death in six cases out of
ten. We shall not quarrel about the name, but
is it generous, is it just, is it honest that we
should attempt to conceal the fact, and thus
induce persons to come among us at the hazard
of life, merely because 1t may prevent us from
making few hundred or few thousand dol
| lars Human life is too precious for that"
The mortality among the troops in garrison is
| great. The Dispatch says;-"New mounds have
risen within the past two weeks. Six cofIins
| per day as we are informed, form part of the
| rations ordered and issued for the troops now
| here in garrison. The sharp threesvolleys each
| morning announce the sad fate Of one or more
Of these devoted UniQnists."

Affairs at Atlantic Civ.

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 3.-An immense train
of thirty cars, filed to repletion with the en-
ployes of the Manayunk mills and their families,
numbering over two thousand persons, arrived
this morning at the New Excursion House.
They are amusing themselves with bathing
dancing, and visiting Camp Meade, the Fire
Zouaves, with their regular routine of drills and
pdfades forming the great object of attraction
to all the visitors to Atlantic City. The bal
mdSque at the New Excursion House on Thurs
day evening is looked forward to with great de-
light. A splendid assortment of fancy dresses,
for supplying those desirous of appearing in
characters, have been received at the Surf House,
where there is an eager demand for them, all the
ladies being anxious to have the first choice.
