Music Hath Charms.

whose soul is full of it, as is likewise
the soul of his family. This latter

and healthy daughter OF his began te

friend from Kirby street came down
to see the first man, and as soon as he

An Incorrlgible Parrot.

An old maiden lady who strongly
objected to ''fcllowers" had as COM
ganion gray parrot with wonderful
faculty for picking up sentences.
One day the old lady had cause to Sc
,verely geprihand one of her maids for
a breach Of the follower ordinance.
This SO irritated the girl that as a
windup to the recital Of her wrongs,
in the hearing Of her fellow servants
and Polly, who happened to be with
them, she exclaimed passionately, II
wish the old lady was dead" The
parrot lost no time in showing off its
newly acquired knowledge when next
taken into the drawing room, to the
alarm Of its elderly mistress, who su-
perstitiously thought it was warning
from another world.
She at once consulted the vicar,
who kindly volunteered to allow his
own parrot, which could almost preach
short sermon, sing psalm, &C., to
be kept short time with the impious
one in order to correct it's language.
To this end they were kept together
in small room few days, when the
lady paid them visit in company
with her spiritual adviser. To their
intense horror, Immediately the door
was opened, the lady's parrot saluted
them with the ominous phrase, Il

To Pay the Confederate Debt. !,

Near the close of the war the novel and
startling proposition was made for the
women of the South to pay the Confeder-
ate debt by offering their beautiful
tresses on the altar of their country. The
proposition came from woman in the
following letter, which was published in
Mobile newspaper:
BATTLE House, Eel. 25, 1865.
AEessrs Editors-I propose to pay the
Confederate debt. Now, don't smile, ye
"lords of creation" at us poor women,
for although we have encouraged you by
our smiles, even while we suffered, and
given you the reins and urged -1ou to die
for freedom--yet, after all, you have got
that the ship is drifting at random. we
venture, albeit through the veil of mod
esty, to speak.
There are two million women over
twelve years of age in the Confederacy-
some heads have one and some three or
four Eraids of hair-say they will aver
age two, therefore there are about four
million braids-worth in Europe $40
each in gold, which gives forty millions
in gold and in Confederate money two
billions-nearly double our present In
debtedness.
A ship loaded with this precious traffic
might make hair-breadth escapes, but
angels would guard it (by Gen. Maury's
permission) and land it safely at Havre.
All Europe would purchase at specula'
tive prices. Many braids-offerings on
the altar of liberty-would bring In
Paris, labeled with the name of the fair
donor, thousands at auction. Our debt
would be a mere circumstance to the
| amount realized; and I propose that
every loyal woman in the south send
forthwith her hair tied with ribbon and
labelled with her name to Madame Le-
vert, in Mobile. Here's mine, and two
braids Let every patliotio woman's
head be shingled-a drop Of whose blood
in father, brother, son, or lover has been
shed, and even the vilest foe will stand
abashed in her presence. Our devotion
and patriotism will be recorded by our
children, and all nations will honor us.
DELILAH,
A niece of James Madison.
Several patriotic southern women re-
sponded to the proposition, but before
the matter could become general enough

Five Children at o Birth.

-.
All previous records in Pensylva
nia, if not in the country, were smash
ed to smithereens when Mrs. Davit
Rosenberger, a diminutive farmer'l
wife, gave birth to five bouncing ba
bies at her home near this borough last
night.
The children, all of whom are vel
developed and full of animation, arc
three girls and two boys. They ap
pear to be strong, and the attending
physician says that all Of them are
likely to live and grow up. But the
astonished father, who is 40 years old
and only $ feet tall, has by no means
recovered from his surprise, though
Mrs. Rosenberger is quite as well as
could be expected.

has had piece of his back put on his
nose. Andrews got into fight the
other day, and his antagonist bit his
nose entirely of close to his eyes.
He was thought to be disfgurcd for
life, but the surgeons who were called
in were equal to the occasion. They
made a metallic bridge for his nose, to
replace the one that was gone, and
then took piece of flesh from his
back and formed him nose out Of it.
It is said that the operation bids fair
to be entirely successful, and that he
