: BE KIND TO WIDOW AND ORPHAN. Be kind to the window—her hopes are all crushed, The light of her spirit is flown, The dear voice that ever consoled her is hushed, Her pathway is drear and lone. Be kind to the widow—the rainbow that cast Its beautiful hues on life’s stream, Has vanished away, and the joys of the past Are nothing to her but a dream. Be kind to the widow-—for sorrows and fears Have stolen the light from her brow; Her cheeks, once so lovely, are faded with tears, Her heart is all desolate now. Be kind to the widow, who toils thro’ long hours, Alone by her emberless hearth, While others are wreatning gay garlands of flowers, And winging the moments with mirth. Be kind to the orphan, and teach him to meet, With firmness the snares he must brave; The heart that to his once responsively beat, Sleeps now in the night_of tiie grave. Be kind to the orphan—hetsannot forget The.dearones that loved him of yore, And far from the home and the hearth where they met, He weeps that they meet never more. Be kind to the orphan, for many a lure Will tempt him to wander astray; O teach him that virtue alone will endure, When life with its dreams fades away. Be kind to the orphan—the lone one apart, Bowed down by the chastening rod; A guide his young footsteps and teach his young Heart To trust in the promise of God.

„v Utiscdlaiteous. is estimated that the Brown military demonstration in Yiiginia will cost that State SIOO,OOO. Gov. Wise will probably tlevy another tax upon the Virginia oyster 'beds to meet the expense. i Ob” Two old maids, conversing with a young lady, who was about to be married, one exclaimed, petulently: “Well, if you will do it, you must bear the responsibility,” ‘‘Certainly, I expect to,” was the significant reply. _ ± i j Gwinn is very considerate. He hopes the Opposition won’t persist in Electing a President next year, for fear of disunion. We hope they will do that very thing, just in order to put an end to this ever lasting gabble.— Salt. Patriot. (KrAn exchange says that the whites of j two eggs, beaten up with a couple of tablespoonfuls ot white sugar and a little nutmeg, aqd mixed with a pint of warm water, will, ijf'p'irtaken of frequently, cure tiie most obstinate case of hoarseness and sore throat, in .a short time. C£yA roll of butter was recently sent to the editor of a paper in Ohio, the donor of yjhich stated that it was “made Irom the milk of a calf nine months old. The calf has never had a calf, but lias run with others that have sucked her, until the owner found it necessary to milk her regularly.” Incredible, New York Times of Wednesday] 6bys its Washington correspondent assures i&that "all hope of an early organization is now abandoned, and that many doubt whetliCongress will be in a constitutional conditforf to transact business, either this winter, or any time hereafter.” Mammoth Steer. —A steer raised in Vermont, called the “Great Eastern,” has been purchased by a Boston (Mass.,), man to be sent to England, He weighs over 4,000 lbs., although far from being fat. It is thought he will carry 1,400 lbs. of flesh in addition to his present weight. German having purchased a cow, which turned out on trial to be old and useless, deliberately stuck pins and needles into her udder until it became inflamed and presented the appearance of anew milk cow. He then procured a calf, put it at her side, drove her to market, and disposed of the cow and calf for a round gum. This beats Yankee tricks hollow, especially in the fiendish cruelty displayed. of the directors of the Jardin-des-Pla-nts, in Paris, arrived at New York on Wednesday last, with quite an extensive collection of living specimens which he has collected in South America. Among these is one darling little pet in the shape ot a feminine anaconda, measuring twenty-one feet in length, and who, during the voyage, lias hatched upward of one hundred miniature ■pecimens of herself. lady residing in the neighborhood of who, for some years past, has suffered terribly from a tape worm in her stomach, has lately been completely relieved by taking a mucilage of squash seeds. Since she commenced taking this remedy, her husband states thatjover one thousand feet of tape worm have been expelled, and that on several cfccaßion, an hundred feet have been avoided after taking a single dose. (£TA laborer, named Eli Stout, living near Lebanon, Ohio, was arrested on the 20th ult, charged with murdering his wife. It appears that the woman had been missed for several weeks, and no clue to her whereabouts could be obtained. Week before last ’ how’ever, a little boy of Stout’s, four years old, stated that his father first knocked his mother down, and then completely burned the body. Stout was committed to jail to answer to the charge at the March term of theiCommon Please Court.
