Begotten and born and dying with noise,
The terror of women and pleasure of boys;
Like fictions of poets concerning the wind,
am chiefly unruled when stronger can find
For silver and gold don't trouble my head,
Butall my delight is in pieces of lead.
Except when meet with a ship or a town,
| Why then l make pieces Of iron go down;
One property more would hare you remark
There ae'er was a lady more fond of spark,
The moment get my soul all aflrc,
roar out my 10y and in transport expire.

CHEAP MoNEY-The Barnesville Build.

Sunday last, Mr.. Samuel Talbert, a high
ly respected citizen of Wayne Township,
of this county, and who lived near Hun
ter, while seated with his family in his
house, suddenly fell from his chair and
died immediately. We do not know
what was the cause of his death, but pre-
sumo it to have been disease of the heart.
DEATH AMONG THE CHILDREN.-Con-
trary to popular expectation, several
cases of measles have proved fatal in
this place, and there is mourning in des
olate households for lost encs, and fear
in many Others, lest The dread DESTROYER.
not yet satisfied with the havoc he has
wrought, shall take more loved ones
from their homes.
Rev. DIR. Baird, of the NJ. E. Church
OF this place, concluded the labors of
the present conference year last Sab
bath. 1t is conceded upon all hands
that the Doctor is man of great ability.
His sermons are always logical and con-
vlncing His labors have been crowned
with success, over one hundred persons
having been converted during the last
two months Of his ministry. The church
here will be specially favored if they
should have him returned as their Pas
tor for the coming year.
From the st. Clairsville Gazette, March III

time, that this is thrillingly interesting
work, giving the life of most deter.
minsd and desperate man, together with
full and accurate account of the plan
and fflal murder of Miss Fox, and the
narrow escape with their lives of Others
connected in this affair.

Income Tax.

The following clause of law in regard

5 some on honest and other sort OF people
That the taxes on incomes herein i'm
posed shall he levied on the 1st day Of
March, and he due and payable on or
before the 18th day of April in each
year until and including the year 1870,
ana no longer " Now, what is the pur-
pose OF this clause? 1t is to define and
declare at what time in the year the in
come tax is due and payable. And il
declares very plainly tlat the tax shall
ne due and payable by the "13th day of
April in each year until and Including
the year 1870, and no longer" No pay,
ment of the tax can be demanded later
than April, 1870, and at that time we
pay the tax on our incomes of 1867
on-the income Of 1870, therefore. NO
tax is payable.-N. 7. Herald. l6M inst

HI FRENCH MARSHAL.


Mcmahon up the streets of Paris came
In triumph from Magenta Every one
Had heard and praised the fearless marshal's
And Sioried in the deeds that he had done.
Crowds packed the walks, aud at each several
A face was set to see the hero pass.
Grand music lifted in the morning air
Guns Doomed till echoes welcomed everywhere
On buildings and in streets proud flags were
Half like the flags Of brain silk wrought with
That hang on shakspeare's pages-fOld on fold.
But whno the marshal up the street made way,
There came q little girl clothed all in white,
Bringing in happy hands q large bOquet; 49,,
Her aewer-sweet face seemed fragrant viii
Well pleased, the soldier, dark and fierce at need
Raised up the child before him on his steed-
The pearIy necklace Of her loving arms
She bound on him, and laid her sPring-ike
Aeninst the autumn Of his cheek with charms
OF smile and mien; while to his shoulder fed
Her gold-loose hair with flowers like jewels set,
And made thereon a wondrous epaulet.
He seemed more like an angel than aman,
As, father like, he paid back each earess;
Better than all his deeds in wars red van
Appeared this simple act OF tenderness
The people cried "Huzzar' and did not pause
Until the town seemed shaken with applause.
so from this house the general became
The boast Of the enthusiastic crowd;
Each gave some flower Of praise to deck his fame,
They knew him brave, though often cold and
proud;
ButlOoked not for the kindncssu indebted
That he had shown toward the sweet loving child.
o cynic, deem no more the world all base,
And scof no more with either tongue or peni
You do not see the face behind the face,
MGod exists, there must be noble mem
And many who 70 us seem hard and cold
Have sunshine in their hearts as pure rs gold
Henry Abbey.
