If there is a terrible name in Paris
to-day it is that of the Uhlans, those
adventurous Tartars of the Prussian
army who are galloping so wildly
and recklessly almost up to the
gates of the doomed city. Contrary
to the general impression, the Uhl-
ans of King William are of strictly
German organization, being simply
the lighter class of cavalry in that
service. The word Uhlan is of Tar
tar origin, and signifies brave, and
was first used to designate the light
cavalry of the Asiatic countries, es-
pecially of Tartary. The service
requires dashing and accomplished
horsemen, and this the Uhlans of
Bavaria and Prussia seem to be.
Each soldier carries a sabre, pistol,
and a lance seven feet in length,
shung with strap admitting of it's
being couched under the right arm.
Near the point of the lance fiutters
a steamer of brightly colored cloth,
which, together with the yells of the
lancers, is competent to frighten and
stampede all but the most thorough
ly drilled horses of an enemy. The
Austrians and Prussians were the
first to borrow this class of cavalry
from the Turks, and to make it one
of the most effective and valuable
arms in their mounted service. As
now organized, the Uhlans are the
feelers of an invading army, always
at the front, capturing exposed
points before their presence is sus-
pected cutting the roads and destroy
ing the stores of an enemy and ma
king themselves in general the ter
ror of the country through which
they march. They wear curious,
guadily colored uniforms, are very
daring and eccentric in their be
havior, and hold about the same re-
lation to the hussars, dragons and
cuirassiers of the Prussian army
that the Turcos Of Algeria do to the
infantry of the French.

THE GOING OF MY BRIDE.

By the brink of the river our parting was fond
But whispered the words soft and low;
For band of bright angels were waiting be
yond,
And my bride of a day was to go:
Was to go from our shore, with its headIand o
years,
On a water whose depths were untold;
And the boat was to float on this River o.
Tears
Till it blent with an ocean of gold.
Our farewell was brief as the fall of tear;
The minutes like wing'd spirits flew;
When my bride whispered low that shallor
drew near,
And the beck of the boatman she knew.
Then spoke in one kiss all the passion of years
For knew that our parting was nigh;
Yet saw not the end-I was blinded by tears,
And light had gone out from the sky.
But caught the faint CLEAN of an outdrifting
sail,
And the dip Of asilver-tipped oar;
And knew, by the low rustling sigh OF the
gale,
That spirit had gone from the shore.
Alone in my grief now sit on the sand,
Where so often she sat by my side;
And long for the sballop to come to the strand
That again may sit by my bride.

A Snake Entrapped by a Spider.

A gentleman from Messy Creek
Jefferson county, yesterday presen
ted us with a photograph of snake
at full length, of which he gives sub
stantially the following history:
| A few days since the snake was
found suspended in spiders wei
under shelf in the store of Messrs.
johnson d Branner, at Messy Creek.
On inspection it was clearly ascer-
tanned that the snake, about a foot
in length, and still alive, had been
literally captured by spider about
the size of q common house fly. The
spider had spun his web tightly
around the neck and entire head of
the snake, and drawn him clear from
the floor, making him a close pris-
oner. The snake was taken, whilst
yet in the coils of the spider, to Mr..
Ruftner, a photographer, and the
picture is before US as we write. The
facts are curious, and suggestive of
various theories. After the photo
graph was taken the web was re-
moved from the snake, whereupon
he exhibited his wicked instincts by
striking at those present, evidently
showing a desire to avenge himself
for the terrible indignity put upon
him by so insignificant a creature as
a spider not much larger than a
grain of wheat. We regret that the
snake was finally killed, instead of
being saved that hispeculiar species
might be identified. 1t was evident
ly a venomOus reptile, which had
crawled into the store unobserved,
to be thus ANONYMOUSLY captured
and brought to grief.-Kno4vile

Pleasant Homes.

Parents, strive to make you
homes pleasant and attractive! l
you would have your children grow
up pure, healthy, and beautiful, at
tempt not to destroy their love fol
beautiful things and healthy recrea
ton. Do not labor with such cold
rigid, self-denying economy to hoard
up money to bestow upon them Al
your death; rather devote portion
of your surplus income to embel
lishments and beautifying youl
dwellings, and to furnish your boys
and girls with the means of home
enjoyment. Introduce into your
family circle innocent amusements;
and, above all, yourselves join and
assist the young in their recreations
and plans for social diversion,
Teach them that most beautiful and
soul-inspiring accomplishment, mu-
sic; and allow them to mingle in the
graceful and health giving dance.
Many parents will crush with q
frown every attempt at hilarity on
the part of their children; they will
Danish all amusement and gaiety
from the family circle, and cause a
shade of gloom to settle over their
homes. What is the course of the
children of such parents? To es-
cape from the oppressive atmosphere
of home becomes the governing mo-
tive of all their actions. When
away from the immediate care OF
their parents, they will secretly 60
to places which they have been for
bidden to visit, and mingle with
children with whom they have been
told not to associate; then they will
Immediately become more bold and
hardened, and plunge deeper and
deeper into the sea of forbidden
pleasures, and resort to falsehood to
shield themselves from detection.
Are not such parents, in meas
ure, responsible for the sins OF their
children? The young will have en-
joyment; and if they cannot find it
at home they will seek it elsewhere,
in doubtful places and in doubtful
company. They are full of vitality
and gaiety; they have natural and
ungovernable desire for amusement
and social intercourse, and that de-
sire must be gratifed-legitimately,
itmay be, or illegitimately. Attempt
to suppress it, and you will ruin
your children; direct it in the proper
channel, and you will cause them to
grow UP happy and contented into
the best and noblest of men and wo-
men.
You who have children to train
up, think of this! Devote portion
of your time and money to crafty
ing their love for social amusement.
lfyou do not get rich very fast, what
matters it? You will he compensa-
ted hundredfold for the pecuniary
loss by the joy and pleasure you will
experience by seeing your children
grow up noble and virtuous, hon
ored and respected by those around
them.

The Flaw Hunters.

There are people who have pre-
ternatural faculty for detecting evil
or the appearance of evil in every
mans character. They have q fatal
scent for carrion. Their memory is
like museum / once saw at med,
ical college, and illustrates all the
hideOus distortions, and monstrous
growths and revolving diseases by
which humanity can be troubled OF
afflicted. They think they have q
wonderful knowledge of human ma
ture. But it is blunder to mistake
the Newgate Calendar for bio
graphical dictionary.
A less offensive type of the same
tendency leads some people to find
apparent satisfaction in the discov-
cry and proclamation of the slight
est defects in the habits of good
men and the conduct of public in
stitutions. They cannot talk about
the benefits conferred by a great
hospital without lamenting some in
significant blot in its laws, and some
trifiing want of prudence in It's man
agement. Speak to them about a
man whose good works everybody
is admiring, and they cool your ar
dor by regretting that he is so rough
in his manner, or, so smooth-that
his temper is so hasty or that he is
SO fond of applause. They seem to
hold a brief, requiring them to prove
the impossibility of human perfec-
ton. They detect the slightest al
10y in the pure gold of human good
ness. That there are spots in the
sun is, with them, something more
than an observed fact-it takes rank
with priori and necessary truths.
There are people who, if they
hear an organ, find out at once
which are the poorest stops. If
they listen to q great speaker, they
remember nothing but some slip in
the construction of q sentence, the
consistency of metaphor, or the
evolutions of an argument. While
their friends are admiring the wealth
and beauty Of Il tree whose branches
are weighed down with fruit, they
have discovered a solitary bough,
lost in the golden aflluence, on
which nothing is hanging.

Nothing Like Grammar.

Nothing like grammar!-bettel
60 without COW than go without
that. There are numberless ''pro,
fessors" who go ''tramp, tramp
tramp, my boysr' around the coun-
try, peddling weak article, by
which, ''in twenty days." they guar.
antee to set man thoroughly up in
the English language.
An instance in point comes from
Greenville, Alabama, where a ''pro-
fessor" had labored with the youth
of that people, and taught them to
dote on grammar according to
"Morris's" system. During one of
the lectures, the sentence, MARY
milks the cow" was given out to
be parsed.
Each word had been parsed, save
one, which fell to Bob l., q six
teen year old, near the foot of the
class, who commenced thus:
Sow is noun, feminine gender,
singular number, third person, and
stands for Nary"
"How do you make that out?"
because, answered the noble pu-
pill, ''If the COW did not stand for
Mary, how could Mary Milk her?"

What Hope Did.

1t stole on its pinions of snow to
the bed of disease; and the suffer
er's frown became smile-the en-
blem of peace and endurance. II
went to the house of mourning-and
from the lips of sorrow there came
sweet and cheerful songs. 1t laid
its head on the arm of the poor,
which was stretched forth at the
command of unholy impulses, and
saved him from disgrace and ruin.
No hope, my good brother? Have it.
Reckon it on your side. Wrestle
with it, that it may not depart; it
may repay your pains. Life is hard
enough at best; but hope shall lead
you over its mountains and sustain
thee amid its pillows. Part with all
beside, but keep thy hope.
