THE GOOD OF THE BOY

On, what ls the good of wide awake bov.
VINO hoops and haliooes
AS he ties on his shoes
And who dances iig
While he's combing his wio
anu Washing MS face with very poor grace:
Who whips on his Jacket
And makes all the racket
lie possibly can :?
NOW, tell me, pray, what's the good of this boy i?
"eh' avn awake boy Makes wide-awake man.
Oh, what is the good of hungry boy
Who clamors for food
AS no juvenile should
And, as sureRs live,
Eats all that you give;
be 1t fowl, flesh or fish, he empties the dish,
While for hot gingerbread he
On. always is ready;
Pray, what viii he maker
what sort of man will grow out of this boy?
Why, very safe man, dear, to put d0aCa a brake"
Oh what is 18th the good Of rollickinng boy,
Who gets into " snaps :"
And all sorts OF haps;
Who nothing so oathes
AS new suit of clothes
because the first day they so hinder his play:
For the second no matter
He'll have them a-tatter
Before set of sun:
Have yon something TO say far the good of this boy?
YES tor enterprise bold he will surely count ouen
Oh, what is the good of a careless boy,
Who won't wipe his feet
And can't learn to be neat,
Wo treads on the cat
And sits down on his hat:
Yet he's spunkY and plucky. this happy-go-lucky.
And cares not rattle.
But sides in each battle
With him that is down?
Now, what is the good of this bold, reckless boy?
- In = popular vote, dear, he'll carry the town.
Oh, what is the good of a horrid boy,
Who won't say his prayers,
And mocks at your cares;
Who hears all the news
Your advice does refuse
And he jeers and he leases and does as he pleases
wonder if aught he
Performs is not naughty?
One thing-he aCOn't lie.
Now what is the good of this terrible boy?
Why, to speak the truth, dear--a great virtue,
sayI."
So, then, there's some good in all sorts of boy,
The jolly and sad.
The sorry and bad,
The best and the worst,
The last and the first,
You'll haye somewhat to say in his favor alway?
why yes, since you leave it.
surely beeyeit
Is best to judge so,
For thuogh you may question the good of a boy,
How should folks fare without him I'd just like to
know"

How He ESCAPED. About 8 o'clock
Sunday afternoon 3 young man threw
brick at two other young men, hitting one
of them in the cheek. The assailant ran
away with small multitude of men and
children at his heels, who followed HIM up
alleys, through back yards and over fences,
creating quite an excitement. Among the
pursuers, not knowing what he sought,
was one of the city Aldermen who drove
his horse rapidly down Brush street. AT
the corner of Lafayette street very excited
young mad ran into the street, with ssLet

A FASHIONABLE WEDDING.
Nuptlals of Two Marylanders.
From the New York Herald.

BALTIMORE, Sept. IS, 1877.
The nuptials of Miss Florence Patterson
and Mr.. James Carroll, son of the late
Charles Carroll, of Baltimore, were solemn
lied at the residence of the bride, pear
Skykesyille, Carroll county, this afternoon.
Several hundred guests were present from
Baltimore and other cities, and the gather
ing was in every respect notably brilliant
and distinguished one. The bride has been
a leading society belle for several seasons,
and is the sole heiress of a valuable estate,
estimated to be worth more than half mil
lion dollars, and was widely known in this
and other cities. She IS the only surviving
daughter of the late George Patterson, a
nephew of Nine. Bonaparte, and the bride
is consequently the grandniece of that ven-
erable woman. In consequence of her ad-
vanced age coz years. and physical infirmi-
ties Nine. Bonaparte was not one of the
several hundred guests present at the nup-
tial ceremony.
The arrangements were Of the most elab-
crate character, though the wedding was
limited to the specially invited guests, for
whose accommodation train of Pullman
palace cars left Camden station at 10
o'clock this morning. A number of carri-
ages were in waiting at Sykesville, in which
the visitors were whirled rapidly to the
stately old Patterson mansion, the scene Of
many brilliant gatherings in the past. Op-
cratic selections and wedding marches were
rendered by full band of music, aud the
interior of the dwelling was supurbly
adorned with rare floral devices, ,evergreens,
growing plants and flowers.
The Rev. J. J. Bullock, of Alexandria,
Va, officiated, and at the close of the we'd
ding ceremony splendid collation. was
served, and the evening spent IN social
pleasure. The bridesmaids were Misses
Mary Carter, Louisa Holmes, Ellen Thom-
as, B. Merryman, Minnie Spence, Carrie
Ellicott, and Isabella Mordecai. There
were no groomsmen. The ushers were
Messrs. Frank Brown and Cornell Poult-
ney. Contrary to the usual custom the
bride and groom will spend their honey
moon here. The wedding gifts were nu-
merous and costly. Mr.. Carroll is men,
Der of the Baltimore Bar, and possesses
handsome fortune. ..f

A Burglar Beheaded.

| On Friday evening last burglar entered
the house of Mr.. and Slfs. Bowling, an aged
| couple, in Rush County, Ind Mrs. Bowl
ing hearing noise in the kitchen went
down stairs to see what it was. She rushed
back to her sleeping room, followed closely
by the man, who was armed with an axe
and revolver. Here the thief made de-
mand upon the aged couple for their money,
struck the old lady with his pistol, and
knocked her down, brusing her face terri
bly,, when she, to save her life, gave up all
| the money she had, but the. old man
stoutly refused. The thief then proceeded
to search the house, ordering them both up
stairs before him, still keeping the axe and
revolver, which he fired three times in the
house, in his hands. After rummaging
through the rooms up stairs he ordered the
old gentleman and lady down, still keeping
them in front of him. He then took them
into the parior and began to go through the
bureau. One drawer of this was hard to
open and he had to use both hands, setting
the axe down for that purpose. Mr.. Bowl
ing, who was watching for an opportunity,
picked up the axe, and with one well aimed
blow nearly severed the burglars head
from his body. The old man and woman
then went quietly back to bed and slept
until morning, leaving the bloody corpse on
the floor in front of the bureau. In the
morning he went and told his son. The
Coroner was then sent for, and when he ar
rived late in the day, he found the thief
where the old man had killed him, with his
revolver still cooked and in his hand, now
cold and stiff. He had entered the house
by knocking the kitchen window in with
an axe, which luckily he kept with him
until the unguarded moment. The dead
body of the robber was brought to Rush
VILE on Saturday night Thus far it has:
not been identified.

A Afwo-HEADED HATTLEsNAKE.-Ala large
rattlesnake was killed in Breathitt county
few days ago that proved to be quite a
curiosity. 1t was perfectly formed, save
it had two well developed necks and heads.
The prongs of the necks were about four
inches long, aud the snake used both heads
thrnstlng ont its tongues in a frightful
manner. and had the appearance of two
snakes-so much SO that the parties who
killed itdid not discover the deformity un-
til his snakesilip was dead. We give
Judge .. G. Strong, Of Breathitf, as an
thnrity for the above, and he says he can
be suhstaitiated by 4 dozen good witnesses.

TESTING IRON WIREs.--An interesting
experiment was recently tried in the way
of testing the wires of the suspension
bridge across the Niagara river near the
falls. For number of years a railroad
company has paid for right of building a
track across the bridge and running trains
across. Comparatively recently they stop
ped the trains at the bridge and compelled
passengers to walk across, thus giving the
impression that the bridge was unsafe. 1t
is believed that this was done TO frighten
the bridge company and cause them to
throw up their contract, as the railroad
could borrow money enough to build an
other bridge, and the interest would be
less than the rent. Some wires were taken
from the different cables for examination
and accidentally thrown upon the ground.
when they Immediately formed coil five
feet across. When this wire was twisted
into the cables twenty-five years ago, II
came in coils four feet across, and the
strain to which they had been subjected
during these years was not sufficient to
counteract this tendency to coil. It was
claimed, therefore, that the strain of the
bridge STRUCTURE was no. sufficient to en-
danger its safety. Where the cables en-
tered the earth on either side of the river,
the outside wires only we're rusted, and
these not seriously.

The Coming Extra Session Of congre IS.

The estimates for the support of the
army for the present fiscal year have been
prepar d by the War Department. and sent
to the Treasury Department, which Will
transmit them to Congress at the extra
session. These are the only estimates to
be sent In, the session having been called
in consequence of the failure OF the Army
Appropriation bill at the close of the last
Congress, and, as the President based his
proclamation on that fact, adding, however,
that it was for the consideration of such
measures as in the wisdom and duty of
Congress the welfare of the people might
seem to demand.
The question with regard to the Presi-
dent sending the usual Annual Message
and reports of the Executive departments
to the extra session was not long ago con-
sidered in Cabinet meeting, when it was
agreei, in view of all the circumstances
and of precedent, that the Message and
accompanying documents should relate
only to the business for which Congress is
to be especially convened, and not to gem
eral subjects of legislation. 1t is thought,
therefore, that the Message will be brief.
