A Persevering Chap.

GONE years since there resided in Wash
~ ington, very lovely girl, who wished
TO marry young man named Robert ----,
an engagement having been recently enter
cd into between them, to that effect.
Her father, however, objected 70 this
match with one of his clerks, and when tho
lady received tempting proposal from
wealthy suitor, the paternal influence soon
effected a marriage despite the previous en-
gagement. In less than three months her
husband was killed by kick from horse.
Robert was a second time suitor but de-
layed the important question until fifteen
months had elapsed, when, to his horror,
she informed him that she was engaged
In three months thereafter she was married.
Two years elapsed, when the married couple
removed to Syracuse, N. Y, where, among
the victims of the cholera, when the pesti-
ence swept that city, was the second taken.
Robert again sought her hand and when a
year had elapsed, was on the eve Of a dec
laration, when 10 he received an invitation
to her wedding Her late husbands
business was found in such state that to
avoid immense losses, she removed with
her third husband to Detroit, Michigan
| A few years elapsed, when herself and hris-
band were on a steamer that was wrecked
near Buffalo. The husband perished, aud
the wife escaped solely through the exer-
! ton of friend who was on board. His
gallantry inspired such sentiments in her
breast, that she married her brave preserver
few months after her third widowhood.--
| The happy pair removed to Pit sburg,
where her husband was engaged in the
mercantile business. Thither Robert, still
cherishng his first love, followed them
One day as he was passing the door Of the
husbands store, he saw a terrible commo-
ton. Rushing in, he beheld the mangled
corpse of that gentleman on the floor. A
tierce of rice being hoisted to an upper sto-
ry had fallen through the traps, killing him
instantly. Anxiously Robert inquired if
any one had been sent to inform his wife,
and was told that the book-keeper had just
gone. Robert started for Allegheny city,
where the deceased resided, at the top of
his speed. The book-keeper was just ahead
of him, and from past experiences knowing
the virtue of prompt action and apprehend-
ing that the clerk had designs on the wild
ow, he ran for dear life, side by side. The
race continued until they reached Hand
street bridge, when the clerk was obliged
to stop to pay the toll, while Robert, acom-
muter, passed over without stopping
Reaching the house of the widow first,
Robert told the heartrending news, and al
most in the same breath made proposition
of marriage. He was accepted. True to
her promise, after year of mourning she
became his wife. AS all her husbands had
died wealthy, Robert was comfortably fixed,
after all. This case is remarkable exam
Pile of what "pluck and perseverance" will
do for man, while at the same time it
teaches lesson on the danger of delay.

A Good RetOrt.

nURING the Session of Congress in
~ which John Randolph and George
Kremer were both members, the eccentric
Virginian made one OF his peculiar speech
es, in which he often quoted Latin aud
Greek. After he had concluded, Kremel
arose, and, in a strain of well acted indig
nation, poured forth torrent of Pennsyl-
vania German upon the head of the amazed
and startled Randolph. His violent gestic-
ulations, his loud aud boisterous tones, his
defiant manner were not more annoying to
the imperious Southener than the fact thai
he could not understand word that was
spoken. And when honest George took his
seat, covered with perspilation, Randolph
arose and begged the honorable gentleman
from Pennsylvania TO enlighten the House
and the country by translating what he
had just uttered.
Mr.. Kremer retoited as follows:
81 have only to say in reply to my friend
from Virginia, that when he translates the
dead languages, which he is constantly
using, for the benefit of us country mem
bers, into something like English, will be
equally liberal in translating my living
Pennsylvania Dutch into something that
the house can understand" The laugh
was completely against Randolph.

SUMMER DRINKS.

Ice water should be drank but spaTingly.
4 most excellent substitute for it is pound
ed ice taken in small Jumps into the mouth
and allowed to dissolve upon the tongue.
This will prove very refreshing and much
more enduring in its effects.
Lemonade is a simple and grateful bev-
erage. To make it: Roll the lemons on
something hard till they become soft; CRATE
off the rinds, cut the lemons in slices, and
squeeze them in pitcher, Ga new clothes
pin will answer for a squeezer in lieu of
something better; pour on the required
quantity of water, and sweeten according
to taste. The grated rindS, for the sake of
their aroma, should be added to. After
mixing thoroughly, set the pitcher aside for
half an hour; then strain the liquor through
jelly stTainer, and put in the ice.
Travellers who find it inconvenienO to use
lemons can carry box Of lemon sugar pre-
pared from CitTic acid and sugar, little of
which in a glass Of iCe-water will furnish
quite a refreshing drink, and one that will
help oftentimes to avert sick-beadaChe and
bilOusness. Citric acid is obtained from
the juice of lemons and lines.
Perry is a delicious beverage made from
cherries, and will keep a year or more.
Take six pounds Of cherries and bruise
them; pour on pint and a half Of hot
wafer, and boil for fifteen minutes; strain
through flannel bag, and add three pounds
of sugar. Boil for half an hour more, or
until the liquid will sink to the bottom of a
cup Of water Cry it with tablespoonful Of the
liquid); then turn into jelly cups and cover
with paper dipped III the white Of an egg.
To prepare the drink: Put spoonful
of the jelly into goblet Of water, and let
it stand about ten minutes, then stir it up
and I'll with pounded ice. Currants and
raspberries made into "shrub" furnish
pleasant and cooling drink when mixed
with ice water. Pounded ice is also an
agreeable addition to q saucer Of straw
berries, raspberries, or curTants. Pound it
until it is almost as fine as SLOW, and spread
it over the berries. With fruit it is also an
excellent substitute for cream.
Water ices are always acceptable. Those
made Of lemon, orange, Currants, strswber
ries, raspberries, and pineapple are much
improved by adding the stiff eaten whites Of
four eggs to every two quarts of the liquid.
Put il in Just as it is turned into the freezer,
and il will freeze in a tOam.- ScriJHer'%tOr

Hurry MEM THE MORNING.

1t is not often that the name OF Stephen A
Douglas is connected in our minds with any
thing outside the political arena, but here is a
beautiful poetical effusiOn Of his which is a
credit alike to heart and intellect.
Bury me in the morning, mother
o let me have the light . ..-
OF one bright day on my grave, mother,
Ere You leave me alone with Night.
Alone lie the niglitof the grave mother,
IT'S thought of terrible fear
And you will be here alone, mother
And stars will be shining here;
So bury me in the morning, mother,
And let me have the light
OF one bright day ON my grave, mother,
Ere I'm alone with the night.
You tell of the SaviOur's love, mother,
l feel it is in my heart
But, oh from this beautiful world, mother,
IT'S hard for the young TO part;
For even to part when here, mother,
The soul is fain to stay;
For the grave is deep and dark, mother,
And Heaven seems far nway!
Then bury rae in the morning, mother,
And let me have the light
Of one bright day on my grave, mOthc-
Ere I'm alone , I'm me night.

HOW COPPER MINES PAY.

The Ducktown copper mines are daily
manufacturing six thousand pounds of pure
copper. This, at forty-ive cents per pound,
amounts in the aggregate TO S2,7OO-de-
duct 20 cents per pound for making and
carrying the same to the New ork market,
and that the net profits per day will be
81 800.
Another fact connected with the opera
lions is this: Scientific men say that the
smoke that escapes from the roast piles and
furnaces at these works is worth two hun
bred dollars per day. The present mode of
transportation by wagons is so expensive
that it would not pay to husband the smoke,
so as to make it remunerating. Railroad
facilities, however, would Justify the taking
care of the smoke and make it a source OF
revenue to the company and the county
athens (TenR.) Post.

4siaving come from your city several days
ago on visit to this place, l thought a
word from here would interest some Of the
readers of your valuable paper, This
growing little city numbeTs about $500 in
habitsnts; has eight churches Of various de-
hOfninatiOns; seven principal schools, four
male and three female. The Courthouse is
a magnificent building, two stories high,
with dome towering above the city, as if to
guard and protect the citizens Of this lovely
place. There are six hotels, among which
is the Merchants, kept by MT. James En-
mis-, and it will compare with most first
class hotels Of this country. The Theatre
is fiue substantial building with stone front
and is 50 arranged that it may be converted
(wi very little trouble, into a grand
ball room. The city is brilliantly lighted
with Gas. The water is also convenient,
there being hydTants in almost every house,
although the river is a mile or more distant
from lie city. The founders of the water
works are Mr.. Geo. Lehman, Judge j..
Donald son and the late Judge Rogers, who
deserve great credit for their untiring zeal
in this great enterprise. Fountain Park, on
Court Square, is a lovely spot, enclosed by
q neat iron fence in an oblOng form and or
namented by sbrupbery and statues. A
busy fountain, surrounded by a basin con-
tanning a number Of small fish, is placed in
the Gel, er, and presents very inviting ap-
pearauce. This park was dedicated several
weeks aFO by the Kentucky Press AssOcia-
kon. The dedisstOry address was deliver
