A VISION OF LIFE
BY FRANCIS TURNER FALGRAyE.

BY FRANCIS TURNER FALGRAEE.
Days come and days go by,
Gliding so fast one
Into another almost seems to run,
And Thursday dawns ere Wednesday is
nigh
One precious leaf each plucking from
the tree
Of life allotted me-
Through the thinn'd boughs atop
Looks in the naked blue;
The flowers all fall'n, and seanty fruit
in view,
Sweet-ripe as yet, or set for future crop,
And at the root the hidden worm / know
Mining to lay it low.
All tree that once in youth,
When hope was green and high,
Dreamt its large leafy head would touch
the sky.
Its roots all matted round the central
truth
How poor, by that vast visionary tree,
Looks the small shrub see
Not rooted in pure truth,
But in some shifting soil,
Where error and appearance mock our
toll,
Till freezing Age seals the bold eyes Of
Youth,
Saying, "Look here! Gr oil Thy force
and glOw,
Thou cansl no farther CO.
Yet, though the leaves may fall
The life-sap is not shrunk,
But gathers strength deep in the knot
ted trunk,
And, losing part, has more than having
all
Condensed within itselfto meet the stress
Of age with cheerfulness.
And for the dreams of youth
Come larger aims, that bear
Elsewhere their fruit, their crown eX-
pect elsewhere,
In amaranth meadows of immortal truth,
Where the sun sets not all our night be
low
Ger flowers Of golden glow:
Unfading leaves, and eyes
Wiped from all human tears
Soft gliding of the years that are not
years,
Eternal spaces not like those our
sighs
Note as they pass, while, fast as bubbles
fly,
Days come and days 60 by.

A WILD WoMAN.-As Mr.. Roda
Fewell and a number of other gentle
men were hunting in the big woods
near Bland's Ford Bridge on Tuesday
last they discovered smoke arising from
thick pine grove few hundred yards
distant, and supposing it to proceed
from the bivuoac Of other huntsmen,
they approached the spot. Imagine
their feelings, when they were within a
few rods of the place they discovered
female almost nude ! seated near the
fire, engaged in picking large bird
preparatory TO cooking it. The hunts
men amazed at such sight, involunta-
rily stopped. A consultation in sup
pressed whispers and they concluded to
surround the weeping beauty, for it Is
said she was weeping, and was often
seen to wipe the tears with her long
waving black hair. Each huntsman
was stealthily creeping to a position
marked out for him, when one Of them
happened to strike his gun against the
body Of small pine which caused the
woman to look up, and seeing her s;tua
tion and surroundings let her intended
dinner drop and grasping bow and ar
rows that lay near her side bounded
away with the swiftness of deer. The
huntsmen were transfxed as it were,
and for some moments not word was
spoken by either. They represent the
woman as being about thirty and pos
sessing great beauty Of face and form.
She wore ar undressed bear skin about
her loins which constituted her only
covering. No one has been able TO give
any clue to her history as yet, but there
is no doubt she is the companion of the
wild man that was seen few days ago
not far from Alexandria by number OF
huntsmen, an account of which appear
ed in the Alexandria Gazette. Her
weeping was no doubt caused by the
absence of her companion. 1t is sup
posed these two children of the forest
have been frightened from one of the
chains of the mountains east Of the Ohio
river by the approach Of the Washing
ton and Ohio railroad. Great efforts
are being made to capture her, and it is
hoped her companion will be captured
also.-Ndnassa Gazette.

A CHILD SMoTnERED TO DEATH.-On
"Wednesday night of last week we'd
ding too place at the residence of Mrs.
Jane Davis, not far from Buckingham
c. H. Amongst the guests were Mr..
VIM. Carter, a nephew of Mrs. Jane
Davis, who was accompanied by his
wife and her infant child. Upon arriv
ing at the house Mrs. Carter laid her
child, which was asleep, on bed and
spread her shawl over it. Other guests
came also, and not observing the child
threw their shawls carelessly on the bed
and when the mother went to look after
it some time after her arrival she found
it dead, having been literally smothered
to death by the shawls which had been
thrown upon it. This sad accident
changed a scene Of gayety into one OF
mourning, and our informant, who was
present, says he has never i'll the course
of long life witnessed anything like
the agony of the mother as she clasped
her dead child in her arms, and of the
sympathizing friends who gathered
around her when the heart-rending ac-
cident became known to them.-Lynch-

A HARD LoT.-There comes a rare
beauty, of the blonde type: Lydia
Thompson might we'll envy the lovely
color of her hair, and the fresh, creamy
complexion. The stranger supposes
that she is a maiden just entering socie-
ty, with a train of admirers, and is as
tonished to hear that she is an unhappy
wife. Not yet twenty-five, and yet has
been loved, welded and deserted. Once
she reigned in Richmond as a peerless
belle. Relatives opposed her marriage
and predicted all the misery that has
followed, from the well known dissipat-
ed habits of her lover. She married
and clung to the worthless man, until
drunkenness brought them to the very
depth Of poverty und then disappeared.
The treasury, which is sort of govern
ment asylum, has received her; and she
is quietly sitting at desk writing; but
many one passes the door hoping that
a chance opening may CRAFTY their de-
sire to gaze upon her loveliness.-

That New YORKER IN WASHINGTON
COUNTY, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. residing
in beautiful glen, within the boders OF
Old Mother Maryland, and not hun
dred thousand yards from Hagerstown,
with an eye to his pocket, concluded 10
take boarders last summer, and eagerly
scanned the various papers for adver-
tisements from parties who desired
rural home during the heated season.
He answered one of these, the author
of which represented himself as young
man of leisure, and desirous OF a quiet
rural home during the summer. The
farmer at once secured him as board
er He was fine looking young man,
had delicate mustache and heavenly
blue eyes, or, at least the farmers
daughter Mary thought so. A month
passed swimmingly by. The old folks
were delighted and the daughter far
more so. The boarder suddenly was
compelled to return to the city for few
days, and desired to settle uphis months
board which was just SIG. He handed
the farmer hundred dollar note, and
received SS4 in change from the farm
ers hard earnings. After most affec-
tionate demonstration towards the old
folks and more particularly towards their
daughter Mary he departed. That far
mer tried hard to pass that hundred dol
lar counterfeit note, but could not find
anybody as green as himself, and his
daughter Mary is anxiously inquiring
for those heavenly blue eyes. She has
some very important business to trans
act just at present. 1t is unanimously
agreed by that farmer and his family
that taking boarders don't pay.
They spend their winter evenings
chanting the following affecting song
Oh where's that cussed fellow,
Who cheated us all hollow,
Who'd a thought we were so green
The lies that fellow told us,
How easily he sold us,
That very clever, bold cuss,
We've felt and we have seen.
We've no one here can match him,
There's no one here can catch him,
But we all would like 10 stratch him;
He's the meanest of the mean.

A BABY ARRIVES BY A PULLMAN CAR.
Mrs. Ella Davis, daughter Of Major X.
NJ. Grubbs, formerly Treasurer of Hen
ry county, and lately OF Indianapolis,
has met with rather remarkable expe
rience. She lives in Chetopa, Kansas;
her husband is prominent business
man there, also owns store in Denison
Texas. A few days ago Mrs. Davis
determined to make visit to her moth
er, who lives in Cincinnati, and as her
husband necessarily had to go to Dehi-
sou, he placed Mrs. D. OH the train in a
sleeping car for her destination. Mr..
d. expected to join his wife at Cincin-
natl in few days by another route. AS
most married ladies may reasonably ex-
pect the important as well as critical
experience of becoming mother, she
was no exception. Within few hours
ride from st. Louis Mrs. Davis was ia
ken i'll. She had made the casual ac-
quaintance of the lady passengers near
her state-room, who observed her illness;
the conductor was notified, and being a
gentleman of humane sensibilities, he
determined to do all in his power for
the personal comfort of his passenger.
He inquired through the train for a
physician, and found one, prominent
member of the profession, of st. Louis,
who responded with alacrity. He re-
paired TO the sleeping coach, found his
patient, and in due time after the car
was vacated (save by few old ladies'
the Doctor reported a fine, beautiful
daughter all the way from heaven, over
the St. Louis Railway, by the Pullman
line, at the rate of forty miles per hour
1t was Immediately christened by the
name of the station nearest the place OF
birth. and by the name Pullman, in
honor Of the car.
A large Saratoga, in the baggage car,
was interviewed by the conductor and q
matronly lady, with view to discover,
ING an infants wardrobe, but nothing of
the kind was found, because no such
emergency had been dreamed of, but
the little stranger was made comfortable
nevertheless, and the conductor tele-
graphed to Denison to the husband, to
Cincinnati to the mother, and to friend
at St. Louis to meet Mrs. Davis with a
carriage, aud in the latter city she was
soon resting quietly at hotel, from
which place she was removed, however,
to the house of friend, where she re-
mained until she was able to continue
her journey to Cincinnati, where Mrs.
Davis and her romantic baby now are,
surrounded by admiring friends, who
say the little Pullman is love Of a ba-
by.
The conductor deserves great credit
for the talent he displayed in the emer-
gency, and for several days he was lion
lied by everybody, from peanut boy to
General Superintendent, and constantly
greeted with "IIow's your daughter =
and GLOW are you pap :" 1t is thought
that the latter cognomen will follow
him as long as he follows the road

VIRGINIA VS.. MARYLAND AND WEST
V1RGINIA.-Another futile attempt was
made last week by the Commissioners
of Maryland and Virginia, headed re-
spectively by Mr.. Isaac D. Jones and
Gov. Henry A. Wise, to come to an
agreement upon the vexed question of
the correct divisional line between the
States. The first day was spent in the
examination of maps and documents
the second in submitting propositions
of boundary by way of compromise, all
of which were respectfully rejected as
soon as offered.
There seemed to be no insuperable
difficulty until the valuable oyster beds
of Tangier Sound and around Smiths
Island were reached. Here the skir-
mishing began, each set of Commission
announcing the unalterable purpose to
eight it out on that line," which en-
braced the coveted bivalvular territory,
''if it took all winter"
Unable to agree, the Commissioners
adjourned sine die, to make their final
reports to the Legislatures of their re-
spective States. ,
With respect to this Maryland and
Virginia boundary question, and that
other unsettled question, (the proper
tionate public Indebtedness of Virginia
and West Virginia,) it seems to have
been demonstrated by tedious and cost
ly experiment that they can never be
settled by the States interested. If
Virginia has rights in the premises, let
them be adjudlcated by the Supreme
Court of the United States.-Winches-

ELopryG Wrru HIS OwS WIrg.-

ELoPrXG WIrn HIS OwN WIFE
The Rev. l.. &. Herman, of Douglass
Township, Montgomery county, over
whose head at least sixty winters have
passed, eloped on Saturday last with
Maria Barto, a widow lady Of about
the same age, who resides near Mount
Pleasant, Washington Township, Berks
county. About two years ago Lewis
was married to Maria against the will
OF her relatives. The marriage was
soon afterward declared null by the
Court, owing to the lady not being of
sound mind. and she was sent 10 the
lunatic asylum at Philadelphia, where
she remained some nine months, when
she was again brought home. and q
close watch kept over her. After re-
peated attempts she has at last given
them the slip and hied away with her
lover. The lady in question is very
wealthy, owning very nearly all the
property around Mount Pleasant from
which iron ore is being taken. Mr.
Herman was formerly in the ministry
(Reforn,) and had charge Of several
congregations in the upper ED Of Mont
gomery and lower end Of Berks county.

large circle of friends. This sad affiic-

SAVED BY BUsTLE.-A merry party
Of ladies and gentlemen had narrow
escape from a terrible death among the
Thousand Islands of the st. Lawrence
recently, but as it turned out, they were
saved by the presence of mind and her,
oism of one of the ladies. The way of
it was this They were out in a yacht
until late hour in the evening, when
the clouded sky rendered it almost i'm
possible to distinguish objects on the
water at a short distance. They were
sailing about thoughtlessly, and enjoy
ing themselves as such parties are in
the habit of doing, when suddenly n
dark object loomed up before them,
which was evidently large steamer.
A collision seemed inevitable, unless the
steamer could be signalled to change
her course, as it was impossible for the
sailing craft to do so. The party were
in terrible dilemma, as except few
matches, there seemed to be no means
at command to produce a light The
young ladies, except'one screamed with
terror, and fearful catastrophe seemed
on the point of consummation. A slight
rustling, however, was observed in the
direction of the silent young lady. No
one could see what she was doing, but
she handed roll of paper to one Of the
gentlemen. In a moment it was ablaze
the steamers course was changed, aud
the party were saved. When they re-
covered from their fright there was nat
urally much speculation as to where
that important roll Of paper came from
and it finally leaked out that the fair
one had heroically sacrificed her hustle
TO secure the safety of her companions.
The incident has given rise to a good
deal of good -natured gossip, and abun-
dainty proves that even ladys hustle
is not without It's uses when occasion
requires.

SYMPTOMS OF CATARRH.

Obstruction of nasal passages, dis
charge falling into throat, sometimes
profGse, watery, acrid, or thick and te-
nacious, mucous, purulent bloody, pu-
trid, offensive, etc. In others dryness,
weak or infamed eyes, ringing in ears,
deafness, ulcerations, scabs from ulcers,
voice altered, nasal twang, offensive
breath, impaired smell and taste, ETC.
Few only of above symptoms likely to
be present in any case at one time.
TO cure-take DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery earnestly, to correct
the blood and system, which are always
at fault, also to act specifically, as it
does, upon the diseased glands and lin
ing membranes of the nose, and its COM
municating chambers. The more | see
of this odions disease, the more positive
is my belief that if we would make
treatment perfectly successful in curing
it, we must use constitutional treatment
to act through the blood, as well as a
soothing and healing local application:
DR.. Sages Catarrh remedy, when used
warm and applied with DR.. Pierces
Nasal Douche, effects cures upon "com-
mon sense" rational and scientific prln-
ciples, by its mild, soothing and healing
properties, to which the disease gradu-
ally yields, when the system has been
put in perfect order by the use of the
Golden Medical Discovery. This is the
only perfectly safe, scientific and sue
cessful mode of acting upon and healing
it.
So successful has the above course OF
treatment proven that the proprietor
offers $500 reward for case he cannot
cure. All the means sold by druggists.
