SEXTIMEXT AXP F1JX. EOO AUr ECHO. BTIOHSG.SAIK.

I asked of Echo t'other day, (Whose words are few and often funny,) What to a novice she would say Of courtship, love and matrimony? Quoth Echo, plainly, " Matter o'money I" Whom should I marry? should it be ' A dashing damsel. gay and pert A pattern of inconsistancy ; ' . A selflsb, mercenary flirt? , , Quoth Echo, . very promptly, "Nary ' ; flirt!" : . . ... . Vl. What if weary of the strife That long has lured the gay deceiverShe promised to amend her life. And sin no more: can I believe her? Quoth Echo, with decision, "Leave her!" ' - ' But if some maiden with heart ; ' : On me should venture to bestow it. Pray, should I act the wiser part ro laKe uie treasure or lorego it? , Quoth Echov very promptly" Go It!" ' But what If, seemingly afraid ' '' . To bind her fate in hymenls fetter, She vows she meant to die a maid,' - - in answer to ray loving ieer4 . Quoth Echo, very coolly, Let her I J' i What if. in spite of her disdain, . l nna my neart entwined about With Cupid's dear delicious chain, ' . to cioseiy mat x can t get out? " Quoth Echo, laughingly " Get out!" But If some maid with beauty blest, as pure auu iair -as iieaven. can maxe her, Will share my labor and my rest : ' ' nil envious ueatn aoes overrate her?- , Quoth Echo, iolto voce, Take her ! " j : : THE BASE SPIRIT. . "Take off some bitter tree a shoot. In Eden's garden plant the root; iiei waters irom tne eternal spring Amidst the bouiihs their incense fling: Though bathed and showered with honey . aew. 'i Its native baseness sprlngsto view. After long care and anxious skill, The fruit it bears is bitter still. - A viper nurtured in abed Where roses all their beauty spread. Though nourished with the drops alone Of waves that spring from Allah's throne Is still a poisonous reptile found, . And with its venom taints the ground." . . . - n ; Persian Poet. THE XI NTH PARADISE. lit the ninth heavens are eight paradises: . Where is. the tenth one? In the human breast. Only the blessed dwell in the paradises. But blessedness dwells in the human breast." Persian Poet. Do one tmnar at a time tnat s a rule. When you have done slander ing your neighbors, begin to say your prayers. Says a cotemporary: Jtiereaiter we will not publish marriage notices for nothing, but will be nappy at any time to announce the death ot any oi our friends. ' . . A Milliner's Maxim. The fol lowing pretty maxim was found at tached to a milliner s bill : Milliner's bills are the tax which the male sex have to pay for the beauty of the female. , " Though we travel the world over to flnrl tna lia ti f i-f"i 1 vva mncf farTTT if. with us, or we find it not. . Domestic Sweetmeats. It is Bingular fact that many ladies who know how to preserve everything else. can t preserve their tempers. let it may easily be done on the self-sealing principle. It is only to keep the mouth of the vessel tightly closed." Envy. Envy, if surrounded on all sides by the brightness of another's prosperity, like the scorpion, confined within a circle of, fire, will sting itself to death. A SHELL-AXXA. Born and Christened on the Battle field. Correspondence of the Madison (Wis.) State ,-. journal. ..: : It was during the celebrated flank movement of Sherman from Atlanta to Jonesboro. The day before we got to Flint river We had been having a right lively little cavarly fight for about six miles, when the enemy - got a good position, formed a line of battle, and posted a battery upon a rise of ground that was annoying us con:. siderably. Gen. Logan, in order to silence their guns, brought up a bat tery of 24-pound brass Napoleons, j which soon quieted their clamer, and the whole line moving forward, comfelled the rebels to fall back on the 'lint. The whole country was thicklv wooded, and in many places a dense .thicket, therefore the only guide our gunners could get in order to mase their shots effective, was the flash and smoke of the enemy's guns through the timber, and of the course of their projectiles. After the Johnnies had fallen back and we were pushing our column forward, it was my fortune that day to be riding with Dr. Woodward, Medical Inspector of the 15th Corps. We passed in front of the spot ..... where our battery had been stationed, and - jus doubled a point of timber when we came suddenlv nron a small house, and for that country, very neatly enclosed with A a shake fence, but what attracted our attention was a yellow cloth hanging on one of the shrubs in the vard. I said to the doctor, " Halloa, there is an improvised hospital, let us halt. There is possibly some wounded reb there,1' " Upon which ' we rode up to the cabin. Hearing the tramping of horses, an-elderly woman came to the door. Recognizing , us as Yankees, she retreated. We called to her and asked if she had any wounded rebs in her house. On being answered in "the negative, we asked why she tad that yellow flag out. "Why yer see, stranger, my darter is sick and I soft o' reckoned you'ns wouldn't pester he-yer if ye seed that tharflag.'' " What is the matter with your daughter?" ' we asked. " We are surgeons and perhaps we can do something for her." .

"Wal now if ye are doctors jest ye

come 'long in an' look." ... ' We dismounted and , entered the cabin, the woman went to the bed, which was posted in .the center of the room,-and turning down the sheet displayed to our astonished vision, laying upon the clay-colored breast of its clay-colored mother, a small speci men ot Doiiea lODster looting humanity, about a foot and a half long evidently a .stranger to the , country and surroundiugs, whose span of life could only be measured by minutes, it having not yet lived an hour. " Jist ye look thar, stranger, see what you'ns all did with yer shellin' and shooting right through the houseand pointing to two shot holes in the logs over the head ot the bed, remarked, l right when my gal was the' sickest, 'them two of you'alls cannon balls come clar through the house, kiverin' the bed all over with splinters and pine knots. 1 tell yer stranger, it was right skeery for a spell." : '. . .The . house, completely hidden anion? tne tnict. erowtn of; timber. happened to be in direct range of Our battery, and the cabin itself, and the surrounding' outbuildings, had been hit no lessthan six times during the short action, but fortunately no . one was hurt about the place. In answer to our inquiries, the woman lntormea us tnat tne young stranger belonged to the " sex divine. ' So we asked her if she would not like to have it christened. , , "Which ?" said she. ' We explained as well as possible the signification of the term christen. "Oh, yaas; I reckon I would like to have it babtisedf if you'ns got any preache? 'long. ' .;. So we sent an orderly back to one of the Indiana regiments which boast ed a chaplain, and he was soon on the ground. We explained to him what was expected, and he, nothing loth, commenced services. :- The General commanding the brigade, getting wind of the . matter now came up, and to gether with some of his staff were mustered as witnesses, Dr. V . and the subscriber acting as sponsors: 1 The grandame remarked, What are yer gwine ter gin it for a name? I want suthin right peart.' We told her she should be satisfied with the name. The chaplain squared himself. We (the sponsors) took our stations. , The old woman held the gourd, the nearest we could come to a baptismal fent, and the young female The chapkin made a prayer respectable for ibrevity and appropriateness The general added an amen that sounded like the explosion o a shell We raised some $20 in greenbacks as a christmas gift and left them, the old woman remarking, I never seed the beat o' th in Yankees." i VUl t;ilUj DVIUV tVUli UUJi tuwi. after the the fall of Atlanta, we called to see our protege. Found it "more like a boiled lobster, but otherwise the baby and yellow-haired mamma were, in the parlance of the old lady, right peart. . , - Historically yours, . His , Sericcs h Wilkins.
