** r.niwjmm >*■ xii»rigW|M»*ww>"i IHlt ’"•' The Place Where Men Must Die. U"W little recks it where men die, When once the moment’s past In which the dim and glazing eye Has looked on earth its last; Whether beneath its sculptured urn Thecoufined form shall rest, Or In its nakedness return Back to its mother's breast. Death is a common friend or foe. A different men may hold. And at its summons each must go — The timid and the bold. But when the spirit free and warm, Deserts it as it must, What matter where the lifeless form Dissolves again W dust? The soldier falls 'mid corses piled Upon the battle plain, Where reinless war -sleds gallop wild Among the mangled slain; But though his corse bo grim to see, Hoof-trampled on the sod, What recks it where the spirit free Has soared aloft to God? The coward’s dying eye may close Upon his downy bed. And softest hands his limb* compose. Or garments o’er them spread; But ve. who shun the bloody fray, Where fell the mangled brave, Go —strip Lis coffin-lid away And see him in his grave. ’Twere sweet, indeed, to close our eyes With those we cherish near. And wafted upward their sighs, Soar to some calmer sphere; But, whether on the scaffeld high, Or in the battle’s van, The fittest place where man can die, Is where he diss for man.

What Constitutes an Engagement. I know a young man (though the history does not belong to the present seaton,) who found himself engaged one fiat morning, without any idea of such an eTent. True, he had flirted a good deal for a week or more with a bo*utiful young blonde, whom fashionable pleasure had attracted to Saratoga, Newport or Sharon as you will. The name is not of the slightest consequence. Flirtation, which is not expressly prohibited in the Decalogue, is sentimental coin fully current in the United States, and its circulation comprises no one. If! the truth must be avowed, it had chanced I that our hero one night—one moonless night —enjoyed a conversation at the extremity of a dark piazza; and this young gentleman, by accident, perhaps, dropped his head at the moment the young lady in question raised hers, the better to hear what he said. But a kiss, half-given and half-received, is not a matter of such moment as to require the sanction of marriage. j i Be it known, then, that William (I see no impropriety in calling him William,) , was petrified rather tbai charmed, the !

next day, when his partner of the previous night’s interview asked him, blushing , if he thought it best to make known their engagement at once! H* gave her a look from which the young lady inferred that she was not understood, and blushing still more sweetly repeated the question, William exhibited no discourteous surprise, but put on an appearauco which indicated that he was undecided whether an immediate public avowal was best, and then managed to have some good reasois for postponing the revelation until the close of the season; and Nelly promised to keep it a profound secret. That night he retired to his room and meditated various schemes for extricating himself from his embarrassing position. He could admit every plan but one —that

of marriage. Re had not decided upon any definite plan, when, next night at the dance, Miss Susan H , a charming person, who honored him with a friendship bordering upon the sentimental, touched him lightly upon the arm, and said, with a mysterious air: 'Sir, I congratulate you.’ ■Wherefore?’ he asked, but she had already glided away in the dance. The matter required an explanation, and during a hiatus in the music, they went aside, and Susan spoke in a serious mood: •Nelly is my best friend; she has told me all. Oh; you needn’t blush so at that. !n fact William colored with the idea that his pretended engagement had already been circulated among his intimate friends. He did not directly deny it, however, but took a method of his own. •Am I really engaged?’ he demanded of Susan. •A beautiful question to ask me,’ said Saaau, with the slightest touch of spite. ‘You shall judge my case,’ said William. ’Suppose I repeated here what you have heard a li'indie I time -a thvit-

.'.US .. '-sje—— — ■ L_—.. sand times —that you are beautiful, intelligent and accomplished; that your eyes are the deep blue of Heaven; your lips the transparent red of the coral; your locks the black lustre of the raven’s wing; your neck the grace of the swan, and shoulders the whiteness of his plumage — would all this, I ask. constitute an engagement between us?’ ‘No, certainly.’ 'And if I should add: —The musician loves you for the malody of your voice, the painter for the perfection of yourlin-| eaments, the sculptor for the model of your —of your arras, the poet for the expression of your glance, the unfortunate for the goodness of your heart, the gay for your wit, and 1 love you for all these, I-’ ‘ls it true that you have said all those pretty things to her?’ ‘lt is not true. I could not have said it without falsehood.’ ‘And you never lie?’ ‘Never. If I make such an avowal, , does it follow that we are to become man , and wife?’ ‘I do not think so.’ i ‘Neither do I. For ext tuple, if upon just a night as this, I take your hand (the - taking of the hand was more than a sup- , position,) and say to you, ‘Oh, Susan!— do you not know bow long I have loved you? Hare you not divined it in my , words, felt it in my silence, seen it in my , 1 looks? Then do not wait, accept the offer of my heart, which beats only for you;.; <of my life, which has no other object, if

—j . ' . I may consecrate it wholly to your happiness.’ •Ob, shame! shame!’ suddenly cried a' voice stifled with emotion. The two retreated precipitately, seeing ■ poor Nelly, who also hurried to her cham- ' ber to hide her disoppointment and her fury. Distributed at the disappearance of her supposed affiance, she had walked out on the dark piazza, hoping to meet i him, and arrived just in time to hear hie • gallant speech. ‘Heaven*!’ What will she think!’ exclaimed Susan. ‘The truth!’replied William. ****** The next morning, at breakfast, every i on* was asking, ‘Have you heard the’ news?—William has broken bis engagement.’ But they were deceived; for in three months he married Miss Susan H , and the happy pair are now in Italy. — Courier des Etatt Vviz. A College Joke" One of the earliest Presidentsof Jefferson Colhge, Penn., was the venerable Dr. M'Millan, a man of great gravity and dignity of manners. In those early times it was customary

for the students, when meeting the President, to remove the hat from the head, place it under the left arm, make a profound bow, and pass the compliment of j the day. Among the students was Tom Devoe, an eccentric fellow. His father was rich I and as Tom was always ‘flush of money,' the height of his ambition was to sport a gold-bead cane and gallant the old Greek professor’s daughters. The term student, which he bore in , common with the other members of the college, was a sad misnomer. Tom’s , mind was more deeply engrossed with backgammon, checkers, and ‘old sledge,’ than with his mathematics, and he was ■ more deeply read in the lore of Chesterfield, than in that of Homer and Virgil.— , In fact, he was a shallow-brained, lily- ! y _ . j 1 e i ...... t . . *

I handed fop, and, as may be supposed, a great favorite with a certain class of la- i dies who mistake impertinence for wit,’' and fine clothes and affected manners for refinement and solid accomplishment. Hutto our tale. Tom was one day walking down street arm in arm with his friend, John Smith, who had a spice of the wag about him. Seeing the President a few paces before them, Tom hastily inquired—- • Smith, what is ‘good-morning, sir.’ in Latin?’ 'Ego im stullus,’ was the reply, without a moment’s hesitation. Meeting the President, Tom, after the most approved style of donkeyism, at the same time making a profound salaam, ! l 'greeted him with—'Ego turn stultus!’ ‘I am aware of it,’ responded the President, making a slight bow. This proving rather unsatisfactory, Tom posted off to the room of bis friend By les, whom he saluted with—- • Deacon, what is the translation of this sentence — ‘Ego sum stultus 9 .' 'lam, a fool:' responded the unsophisticated deacon.’ This told the whole story. As novel writers say, Tom's feelings may be more ■ i-ily imagine! than described.

The whole « ill make Between 1 700 and 2,000 pages. It is believed that no book has ever been published at so low a rate.

THE SOUTHERN MONITOR. FOR 1858-59. It is now certain that the fearful issue be tween the North and South is near its termination nnd must be decided one way or the other in 1860. It is also certain that in this State, nnd the one adjoining it, (Pennsylvania and New Jersey) the great battles are to be fought as in the days of the Revolution. The entire South, with Pennsylvania and New Jersey, can elect the President; and with a President trnu to the Constitution and vindicating the validity of the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States, there will be security for property of the Southern people, and a gaurantee of the equal rights and privih'ites of all the citizens. But if a Black Republican be elected—then farewell tothe Sovereignty and Independence of the Slave States and the White People of the South! If one species of property may ibe excluded from the common Territories,so 1 may any other, or any religious creed, oremi grants from any section. Whatever a fanatical ; President, and a fanatical majority in Congress. tnav interpret to be in accordance with ‘Nntur al Right,’or the ‘Higher Law.’ will be done—or at least attempted.
