MARCH.

Ho! HO! March! Why do YOU blusters
On the bough no blossoms cluster:
Do you, meath your coat OF Sleet,
Feel the pulse of April beat?
Do not struggle any longer,
Night is strong, but light is stronger:
Every root within earths breast
Is vein by sunlight pressed.
Faster throbs each pulse of life,
Every nerve is in the strife.
All! old fellow! can see
That you still are mocking me;
And you bluster just TO hide,
For one moment, your sweet bride!
Come, throw off your coat of mail.
All! What now? a maiden pale!
Kiss her gently ere you fly:
See! tear is in her eye.

EVENING SCENE.

stood at eve by the river side,
Watching the flow of the falling tide.
Out of the west came gleam of gold
Far in the east the thunder rolled
Over the fields for miles away
Came stealing night in his robe of gray.
Out of the harbOr into the bay,
Over the waters far away,
Into the west, where the glorious sun
Sinks to rest when they day is done,
One by one the good ships sail,
With wings outspread to the evening gale.
Over the hills a sudden CLEAN
Lit up the breast of the peaceful stream;
The glorious light but moment stayed,
Then faded away in the gathering shade
The far-off ships slow sank from sight
Into sea Of dreary night.

The Truth,

We commented q short time since,
on the remarkable conflict of testimony
developed in the Long Island murder
cases. A confession and ante-mortem
statement were both shown to be utter
ly worthless and unreliable. Since
then our attention has been called to
the extreme difficulty in getting at re-
liable truth in any matter.
The Century magazine published, a
few months since, serial story called
the Bread Winners," It attracted
widespread attention, and there were
many speculations among literary men
as to who was its author. 1t is high
ly creditable production, and many
professional men would feel Aattered
if credited with it, The author has
published q card explaining Why he
prefers net to make himself known,
and in it he says "two literary gentle.
men have given me to understand in
the strictest confidence that they wrote
1t themselves" OF course both gentle
men lied, and that too under circum-
stances highly calculated to deceive.
They represent calling which should
be freed from such servile traits.
This will recall fact developed in
the Beecher-Tilton trial, A gentle
man had called on President Lincoln
and had an elabOrately prepared
argument and q petition badly spoiled
by one Of those little anecdotes which
the President was won't to tell. The
gentleman regarded it as good joke
and told 1t to his acquaintances. One
of them repeated it frequently; frs
telling correctly who it was that called
on the President, Gnally drifting into
the atatement that the story had origi
mated In an interview between himsel
and the President; and finally, on thu
cross-examination in that trial Will,
under oath, he xwore to the latte
statement. He had He'd so much abou
i that he had successfully deceive,
himself. sr gu.b 30

THE ITALIAN.

Hate in her heart; love in her eyes.
The pride of great lady with sordid
nature. Loves money and pleasure.
Unsubmissive, idle, passionate. Ambi-
tiOus, yet servile if her interests re-
quire it. She has an attractive person
and knows how to dress herself in a
material which, perhaps, is hardly cut
out. Drapes or wraps herself in a
scarf, arranges her hair with pin and
adOrns herself with pearl. Her
voice, which has discords when she
speaks, becomes harmonious when she
sings. She almost always marries an
Italian, and does not seek strangers
till after marriage. Credulous and
superstitiOus she believes in omens and
bad signs, fearing the evil eye, two
knives crossed and the point of straw.
She has a luxurious chamber, splen-
didly adorned with paintings, statues,
mosaics, and fine chandeliers. The
bed is a work of art, the satin curtains
are held up by little Cupids apparent
ly at play. They would be hard to
satisfy if they were not content with
their surroundings.

for her breakfast. She sups on a sere-
made.
She wears short dresses, pretty stock
ings and slippers or shoes without
heels; passes her days in looking out
of the window when the balcony fails
or is forbidden her; is very ignorant,
never reads, and much less writes.
Desires to be married, not from calcu-
lation or ambition, but simply because
natural instinct makes her under
stand, even before she has ceased to
jump rope, that husband is an indis-
pensable thing.
THE GERMAN.
Romantic and sensual. With her
love enters first into the brain, then
descends to the heart. A pale blonde;
she has the beauty of youth with a
spice OF the wicked one about it, and
acts in manner that ought to please
him. Her eyes look very modest, be-
cause she hides them under the lower
ed lashes. Loves men in general and
always one in particular.
A rigid Lutheran, she is very severe
on the sins of others, but settles her
own directly with Heaven. She re-
ceives cordially in the morning friends,
of whom she has spoken i'll the night
before. Has an air of being scandaliz-
ed at this or that; it is a defense
against others severe judgments of
her. Loves study and music and occu-
pies herself with pleasure in the details
of housekeeping. Whatever her
origin, she is above all born house
wife. She has beautiful face and
form, which, however, quickly dete-
riorate.

since by the news of the sudden death of Julia

weeks since to care for sick sister. She was

who knew her. The Baptist Sunday-school
passed the following resolution last Sunday

school extend hearty vote of thanks to all
who SO kindly and generously assisted us in en-

Association last week.. -. On Tuesday of last
week, as Nicholas Jacobs was driving into the
BRIDGE he saw that he was going to meet one
or more teams. He stopped his horse, when it
began to back, and he and his team were pre-
cipitated over an embankment some fifteen or
twenty feet high into the water. Mr.. Jacobs
would have drowened but for the timely assist
ance Of one of our townsmen, who, at the risk of
life and limb. soon reached him, and, with the
help Of others who soon arrived, succeeded in
rescuing the unfortunate man.

BOATS, BICYCLES AND HAY FEvER.-Nature
has resolved that all the people shall not enjoy
themselves at once. With the opening of the
season Of outdoor sports comes the time Of
trouble for the poor victims of hay fever. For
them flowers have no odor, and the summer
little or no beauty To snuff, sneeze and wipe
their weeping eyes for three or four successive
months-this is their pitiable portion. Whether
this form of catarrh is called hay-fever, hay
cold, rose-cold or rose-fever, makes no differ
ence; they suffer just the same. There is no
help in sea-voyages, there is no help in high
mountain air. These only tighten the pocket
and leave the disease unabated. But there is
a positive cure in Elys Cream Balm. We
could cram these columns with grateful letters
of the rescued. Try it and join them. If you
continue to suffer it is because you neglect a
remedy as sure as it Is cheap and pleasant

COLONEL J. o. p. BURNSIDE, disbursing
clerk of the post-office department, has been
removed on the charge Of embezzing SAC, 900.
Burnside's accounts have not been fully audited
since June, 1851, and the misappropriation has
probably occurred from time TO time since
then. The postmaster-general has dismissed
him and caused proceedings to be instituted
for embezzlement. The amount of his bond
is $4,000. Burnside's immediate predeces-
sors, Olmstead and Mccartney, were re-
moved for embezzlement. Burnside was taken
in custody Thurday and arraigned, but refused
to make a statement, except that the money
was lost in speculation.
