She part’s Corner. MARIE. Like a fragrant footed fawn Tripping through ths silver surf, Flashing in the azure dawn, On ths radiant, rolling turf, Tost and tinted in the gale That, in sport, around her flies, See her coming through the vale, Gathering sunlight for her eyes. Drinking through her sea-shell ears, Music, for her panting throat, Pouring from the purple spheres Where the early warblers float. Dashing from the opening flowers, That along her pathway drip, Clouds of balm and sparkling showers For the ruby of her lip; And inhaling from the thorn, Odors trembling round her there; Till she seems another morn, She’s so balmy, fresh and fair. Like a fragrant footed fawn Tripping throngh the silver surf See her in the rosy dawn, On the radiant; rolling turf. Wit, -Why is the letter D like a squalling child ? Because it makes ma mad. -The harness of life—the traces of time. -The lap of luxury—a cat enjoying her milk. -A stitch that doesn’t save time —a stitch rn the side. -As Weston is a citizen of Maine, his pedestrianism may be termed a feat of main strength. -Why is a person asking a question the strangest of individuals ? Because he is the querist. -A young man who is desperately in love, says that he has been electrified with a gal-vanic battery. -An exchange wants to know if, when young women blush and weep, they can be said to raise a hue and cry. -It is a good thing to have utility and beauty combined, as the washer-woman said when she used her thirteen children for clothespins. -A down east paper, in puffing off a certain soap, says it is the “best used for cleaning a dirty man’s face. We have tried it, and therefore we ought to know.” -Why was Bulver more likely to get tired of novel writing than Warren? Because Bulver wrote “Night and Morning,” Warren only “Nov/ and Then.” -“I hope this hand is not counterfeit,” said a lover as he was toying with his sweet-hearts fingers. “The best way to find it out is to ring it,” was the neat reply. -“I’ll teach you to play pitch and toss! 111 flog you for an hour I will. ’ “Father,” instantly replied the incorrigible, as he balanced a penny on his thumb and fingers, “I'll toss you to make it two hours or nothing.”' -Luck lies in bed, wishes the postman would bring him the news of a legacy. Labor turns out at six o clock, and busy pen or ringing hammer lays the foundation of a competence.

-Children in mission schools are pretty sharp sometimes and show it in rather unexpected ways. A boy whose teacher was absent pretty often, came to the superintendent with the request, “say, Mister, can t you give me a regular man ? I am tired of being shoved around so.” -A Providence boy, five years of age, having stolen a can of milk, his mother took him to task, with moral suasion, and wound up her discourse by exclaiming: “What in the wcrld was you going to do with the milk anyhow ?” “I was going to steal a little dog to drink It,” was the crushing reply. -A Frenchman who had purchased a countryseat was complaining of the want of birds in his garden. “Set some traps,” replied an old officer, “and they’ll come. I was once in Africa and there was not supposed to be a woman within two hundred miles. I hung a pair of earrings and a color upon a tree, and the next morning I found two woman under the branches.” -Whatever else you borrow, never borrow trouble. It never done you any good, and when you return it you get no thanks.

PROSPECTUS FOR THE INDIANA HERALD For IS6B. The importance of the political canvass for the coming year cannot bl over estimated. The issues which the elections of 1868 will decide, will, to a great extent determine the character of the Government, and its destiny for the future. The question now presented to the people is, whether the old Government, as claimed by the men of the revolution, shall be restored, or whether a new Government, ignoring State rights and obliterating State lines, when an overshadowing centralized powor usurping the control and direction of the domestic policy and institutions of the States, shall succeed it. The Herald will continue to maintain and defend old-fash-ioned Democratic doctrines. It will sustain, as heretofore. The supremacy of the white race. Equal taxation, not exempting any description of property from its equal and just contribution for the support of the Government, general State, county and municipal.

The immediate restoration of the late rebel States to the former relations of the general Government “with all the dignity, equality and rights unimpared.” The constitutional rights of the sevaral States to determine the qualifications of voters. The reduction of the expenditures to the lowest limits consistent with the public safety to diminish the bnrdens of the people. All will admit the necessity of enlightening the public mind upon the great issues which the people will be called upon to determine, and that no agency is more potent to that end than the press. The newspaper presenting itself daily and weekly, has a powerful influence in moulding public sewtiments. It becomes, therefore, the patriotic duty of ail who entertain the belief that the only hope of maintaining a free, a true and an economical Government is in the supremacy of Democratic principles and politics, to see that papers advocating those doctrines and measureshave a general circulation. As an inducement for the friends of the Herald to assist in extending its circulation, the proprietors offer the valuable premium list, over 83,000, to those who shall procure the largest list of subscribers, as follows: To the person who will send ■ us the largest number of new yearly subscribers previous to the first day of Febuary, 1868, we will giVe a laid up life policy of 81,000. To the person sending us the second largest list we will give a seven octave rosewood piano, valued at 8650. To the person sending us the third largest list, we will give a fine two horse farm wagon valued at 8150. To the person sending us the fourth largest list, we will give one of Singer's celebrated sewing marines, valued at BSS. For the fifth largest list we will give one of Singer’s excelsior sewing machines, valued at 865. For the sixth largest list we will give one of Lamb’s far-famed knitting machines, valued at 860. For the seventh largest list we will give a premium Buckeye wine and cider press, valued at 850. For the eighth largest list we will give a morning glory parlor stove, valued at 830, To every person who will send us a list 20 subscribers we will give a splendid photograph album, valued at 810. For further purticulars see prospectus in the Daily and Weekly Herald. These inducements should be sufficient to place the Herald in the hands of every Democratic family in Indiana.
