When I am old, this breezy earth Will lose for mo its voice of mirth ; The streams will have an nndor-tone Of sadness, not by right their own, And spring's sweet power in vain unfold Its rosy charms when I am old. When I am old, I shall not care To deck with flowers my faded hair; 'Twill be no vain desire of mine, In rich and costly dross to shine; Bright jewels and the brightest gold Will charm me not when I am old. When I am old, my friends will be Old and infirm, and bowed like rae; Or else, their bodies 'neath the tod, Their spirits dwelling safo with God ; The old church bell will then have tolled Abovo their rest when I am old. When I am old, I'd rather bend Thus sadly o'er each buried friend, Than see them lose the earnest truth Thatwnarks the friendship of our youth ; 'Twill be so sad to have them oeld, Or strango to me., when I am old. A. Budget of War Anecdote es. Gen. D. H. Hill, in bis new periodical, "The Land we'Love" has commenced'to empty, his haversack of the pile of anecdotes of the war that he had providentially laid up for future use. "Tb'5 following is the first in stalment : When Johnston'? army lay ?round Smith field, N. C., no flour could be obtained, and meal ouly in such small quantities that two corn dodgers per man constituted thc bread rations. Col. K-, who had gaiuod such in enviable reputation as the commander of the she Lp shooters of Sharpe's Brigade, was a rigid disciplinarian, and determined to stop the practice, so common among the rebel sol liefs, of yelling at citizens who passed by. ?specially if within the conscript age, and suspected of keeping ont of the army for the ?ame reason as Percy's fop-a mortal antipa thy to " vile guns" and " villainous saltpetre'' . One day a nice dapper young' mah, ele gantly mounted and handsomely dressed, rvith a bell crowned hat, rode by the fnn-lov- j ng regiment, und was immediately greeter t vith the old cry, " Get out of that hat ; wo . chow you are thar ; see your toes working { aider it," &c. Col. K-immediately dash . ?d up, crying, Stop that hollowing ; it ii* j ?arse and ill-mannered; no well-bred gen- , lernen would be guilty of it." " I don't know, , Colonel," replied a Mississippi boy, with a , nerry twinkle in his eye, " how you expec. nen to be well-bred ou two corn dodgers n ( lay." ' The Colonel had no .further remark. t o make upon that interesting occasion. 8 That accomplished scholar, gentleman ami ? oldier, the lamented Gen. Garland, of Vii- fi ?ima, related to the writer a conversation t rhich he over-heard between an Irish priso- . er, taken at the second Mantissas, and t * riend of his in the " ould country," but then 0 erving in the Southern army. The rici t /ounties around the field of battle bad beet) ? esolated by Gen. Pope's order. Not a j hicken could bo heard ito crow or pig to r queal for miles and miles. The 7,000 or 8,00D , J ni ted Stales prisoners were, therefore, of . lecessity, badly fed, as shown by the follov- J og dialogue : ( Yankee Pat-" D innis, my boy, have ycu j ibils no pity upon a poor fellow. I've had , ?othing to ate to day, and the sun most gone lown. Faith, and you'll have a big score A ?ins to confess to the praist for such trate nent." Rebel Deni---" And is rt for having noth- ] ng to ate to-day you're after grumbling, Pat ? fa the Southern Confederacy, we have one i nale a week, ,and three fights a day. And t low are we to fade so many nv ye? when j roar Gineral has desolated the land. No, ; io, Pat, we'll not confess to the priest, we'll ? confess to Pope himself." t .] At the first battle of Fredericksburg, Ker- i maw's South Carolina Brigade was ordered ] a reinforce tho troops at the wal), and had < io cross this terrific hill. An officer went < forward to select the safest route for them, i Ele rode to the summit, and took a deliberate ? survey. The firing of the enemy ceased, rle ? reaised his cap in ackowledgment, without < having a shot fired at him. That officer vas , Sen. J. B. Kershaw himself. Was the cessa tion of the firing accidental, or was it a com pliment of the brave to-the brave? Who jan tell ? But in that conspicuous position, lie could not have remained alive a single ; instant had the firing continued. Gen. Sherman cannot be charged with the ' un of loving tho Southern people, and yet ho has left this decided testimony, which we :oratnend " to all whom it may concern :" - We should not drive a people into anar chy, and it is simply impossible for our mili tary power to reach all the masses of this . unhappy country." ? Connected with the battle of Fredericks burg ;s an anecdote, which shows the differ ence between true, unpretending courage and the spurious article with its pompous as sumptions. A general officer riding alone, two days after the retreat of Burnside, stop ped to warm at a fire where a group of Cobb's brigade, which had defended the stone-wall, was lying down in all the listlessness of the ibandon after a fight The officer had on a common soldier's overcoat, and was welcomed as a cavalryman to the fireside.. A country ltd, a farmer boy at home, gave him a graphic description of the fierce assaults andterrible repulse, iu his own simple style, ending his narrative with his ingenious comments upon fighting in general. " I haye hcarn men say that thoy were spilin for a fight, but I never did spile for a fight. Stranger, I've been in every fight with my rigiment, but I never did like fighting. Bot when we was killing them Yankees so purty behind that are wall, and they wasu't hurting us, I w&s rale sorry to see 'em run. And I tell you, Mr. Stuart's, man, that was the only time I ever did like fighting." Mr. Stuart's man thanked him for hie narrative, mouuted and rode on, re flecting upou certain furious war speeches he had heart! lrom men whose warlike exploits in the field had not yet become the theme of poetry and of song. Russu A KO FRANCE IN THE HEAR.-The London Times -remarks t-??ow the great tempest is rolling round to the point where the first wrong was done. It is all for Hol stein that Silesia is menaced ; but it is terq bla to think how the storm may spread, in the rear of Italy stands France, and in the rear of Austria stands Russia. It ia even said that the design of Italy against the Adriatic provinces of Austria have suggested some political concert between the Emperor and the Sultan ; nor does anybody seem to doubt that the war, which begins upon the Baltic, may extend to the Black' Sea. A teiegraphh; dispatch in the San Francisco Bulletin reports that a party of ,b0 Ch nomen from Virginia city, Nevada, ware attacked sear tbeOwyheeRiverby about 150 Indiana, and 49 of the China m en were killed. The Indians stole several teams of horses and males. They also ' stole a drove of i ?0 head of catt?a and killed and dried tho meat ?igfajof the fort. From the South Carolinian. The Cause of the European War. The progress of civilization makes war and its results more "terrible with each lecurrenco of the dire event, and embittered as Prussia, Italy and Austria now are, wo can expect nothing but a succession of battles that will deluge the land with gore. The cause of contention cannot be briefly and fully stated. But the gist of it is this : By an old law the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein cannot be ruled by a woman. In 1-lGO, they were inherited by the King of | Denmark, and in the hands of his descend ants they have remained until l8fT3, when by the death of Frederick Vn., the last of the male line terminated. Legally, the Duchies then reverted to the young German Duke of Augnstenburg, but in 1852, it was resolved for varjous considerations ailee ting the peace of Europe that the Duchies should not pass in the legal order of succession, bat remain annexed to the Danish Crown. The popular party in Germany did not acquiesce in these arrangements. Holstein is German, and the clamor was for the removal from that Duchy of the* King. He refused, and troops were ordered to turn him out. Denmark then yielded Holstein to the Federal army, or army ot the Confederation."" Prussia now came in and demanded Schleswig also. Austria then sent troops to the scene of action. After some fighting in 1864, Denmark ceded Schles wig, Holstein and Lauenburg to ?'russia and Austria jointly, bat Prussia bought out Aus tria's interest in Lauenburg for 2,000,000 thalers. Much diplomatic ink and gold has- been wasted between these two nation >, but Bis mark, the Prussian Prime Minister, has never been satisfied. He hates Austria and makes no secret of it ; and in February cf the pres ent year, brusquely gave her Emperor-notice that he wished him to evacuate Holstein. The Emperor -declined.. About , this time some disturbances broke out among thc Jews in Bohemia. Austria moved trooTs up to re store order, and Bismark at onco cried out that she was arming. She denice it ; he in sisted that she was, and at once began to put the Prussian army ou a war footing, and sent agents into Italy to stir up thc Italians, and, it is strongly suspected, entered into a secret Convention with Victor Emanuel. By the Conveution of 1815, Venetia wac taken'from Italy and given to Austria, and Victor Emanuel seeing the hour ripening for :he relief of former Italian subjects, may be jxcused for having formed an alliance with ;he Prussians, and preparing for war. On perceiving the movement in Italy, Aus :ria began to strengthen her forces in Venetia. Bismark affected to regard this as another' ;hreat and pushed on his preparations with jreater vigor than ever. The " notes" which lave been since interchanged are mere form alities. Prussia is clearly determined on try ng conclusions with Austria. The confident nanner in which the Italians arc moving to he attack leaves very little doubt that thc vhole programme is already mads out. The New York Nation says : " It is, of wurse, impossible to predict with confidence he course events will take. But it is reason able to expect that Austria will be driven rom Venice and out of the duchies ; that at i later stage of the conflict, Fn.nce will in ervene and claim the left bank ol' the Rhine, >ormitting Prussia to compens?t} herself by he absorption of the smaller Geim'an States, md offering Austria the Danubian Principan tes to make up for her losses in Western and southern Europe. This would make the atter less of a German and more of a Slavo tic and Rouinan power than ever, and would 'irtually convert Prussia into a German era )ire- But Russia may prove a disturbing dement in this calculation, and, unless her lumiistic troubles are serious enough to tie 1er hand?, 'would probably lay a strong hand >n the Principalities." Ittownlew Agnin. The following is Prentice's last, shot at Brownlow : Old Brownlow was never in but one place ffhere he deserved to be, and :hat was the .ebel prison. If he has any non) lying to do, perhaps he had better make hafte to do it ia ?his world, as he will get his pens and paper scorched and bis ink boiled away in fhe next, rle has a chronic diarrboeo of lies. He could io more breathe au air unfilled with his own lies and curses than one without hydrogen tr oxygen. If he were off the earth, it would juroparo much more favorably than it does with ita sister planets. He is no writer simply a brawler, a bawler, a he vixen, a male termagant, a masculine virago. He is af the class of" common scolds," who by an aid law of G reat Britain, were ducked in horse ponds. He is a villifier, a traducer, a calum niator of men, women and children. No ex cellence, no purity, no helplessness, is a pro tection against his venomous assaults. He aims bis vengeance alike at the living and the dead. His venom seeks through the cold saud's of the grave to find its victim. ' A bu ried body is no more safe from, him than from uther grave worms. " I have bit a day," said the good Roman Emperor, when he re membered to have done no good deed. "I have lost a minute," Brownlow might say, if he remembered no malignant thing. His heart.and life blacken as his old head whitens. His father's hoof is split-the son's ears, nose and tongue should * be. Ho deserves to be kicked, until, like the pit he is going to, he is " bottomless." Brownlow has all the worst qualities of the Devil, but ti e latter, if he-has any redeeming qualities, is, tn comparison with the - Parson ' a Christian gentleman. Brownlow is a rat tlesnake, with his rattles at the wrong end of him. He is a hog, with, the kink in his head instead of hi s tail. If bayonets bristle at him he caa tarn tho back of his neck and bristle back with interest. We have ground him until he is a ground hog. We have hedged him till he is a hedge hog. He ia a small man, but a ^reat swine ; he may be a rich man but he is a poor devil. He is a " porcu pine rolled ap the wrong way," thus pricking himself to death with his OTU qui!?. Tho more he writes, the flatter begets; justas an adder's head flattens as he becomes fur i -us. If his head were not a salamander, it would long since have been consumed by the hell-fire ia his bosom. THE CONFED?RATE COLONY AT CORDOVA_ The colony at Cordova has suffered a serious interruption at the hands of Liberals or rob bers, it is not known which, but His Excel lency Marshal Bazaine has given such orders as will, it if believed, secure the settlers . in future agaiast similar attacks. We aro glad to learn that the colonists themselves have also formell ap organization for self-defence, and while from the limited number who are thus organized, the protection' nflkrded wjl} not be as perfect as could be wished, yet, with the assistance of the military, it is thought that it will be effective for the future. We are glad tb learn from those of oar countrymen who have lately had business to transact with His Excellency Sr. Somer?, Minister o?" Fomento,' io relation to' immigra? tiou. that there is as much activity io the ac quisition and surveys of lands for coloniza tion as ha/e been known on the part of the Government, that the policy of encouraging immigration is earnestly adhered to, and that W&py an^ TEI7 desirably lands have recently been obtained for that punoso. Messrs, Robert Laurence, Hardetnan and McOruSr land have been employed to make eXt?nslv? surveys, iud already there aro several effl cidot pari ies io tbtfJlerdogaged io. this ope A Ridiculous Failure. So fer, every effort to make."treason odi ona" has ridiculously failed, for the simple reason that the late war -was a civil war, and not a treasonable struggle on the part, of the Southern people. -Civil war is what the world regarded it, what it really was, and ia all the Radicals either have or can tM&e of it. This they know as well as we and'ihe rest of the world do, and they'may gnash their teeth in rain now and forever, bat they will never prove that a contest was'treason which near ly overthrew them ; which required them, ?rst and last, to cal lout several millions of [ nen ; which extorted from the world, the ac knowledgment of onr belligerent rights, and which covered our name with glory though jverwhelmed with defeat. ' If treason has been committed why is not Jefferson Davis tried, in order that the isaue nay be determined past cavil ? Ah, that is vhat they.8hrink from^. They well know vhat condemnation awaits (hem. in that trial, md what vindication will be- ours, in that verdict. They dodge the ordeal, for they mow that they would really be as much tried, ind much nearer condemned by the trial han Jefferson Davis and thc South. When Benedict Arnold went to Europe, at he close of the revolution, he-found himself j lissed, scorned and spit upon by the senti rent of both English and continental society vherover he presented himself. He died a aiserable recluse, who dared not show his face n public for fear of being insulted. That is he way the world treats traitors. But we lo not find that Confederates are received in his manner either at home or abroad. For ign nations extend to them every honor and istinction; even exalting them-to high places. Vere Mr. Davis or General Lee in Europe 3-day, admiration would, follow and huzzas rould greet them wherever/ they appeared. 10 single thought of u treason" would enter mind of the millions who would shout their ime. The greatness of their deeds, thc pu ity of their virtues, and, in the case of Mr. (avis, the magnitude of his sufferings and is martydom at Portress Monroe, would 11 the mir-Js of all men and captivate their carts. The " odium of treason," as far. as this ;rrn ia sought to be made applicable to the pu them people, is at once so preposterous nd absurd, that it is high time the idle folly f such language had ceased; it s'ul tifies the copie who still continue to employ it. It is msidered mean and dishonorable among gen einen to make a charge which cannot be stablisbed. If ours was not civil war, or at smpted revolution, let those who dispute ar proposition, prove the " treasou." We 1 know how gladly they Would do so, if pos b!e. But they cannot, and, therefore, they strain from trying Mr. Davis, because they ar what is behind that verdict, and well iey may.-Richmond Times. -? ? ? The Education of Freedmen. The Governor of Florida, wo are told, has j some means, secured the whole control rer the education of freedmen in that State, ev. Mr. Duncan, who preached at St Luke's E. Church last Sabbath, has boen appoin >d General Superintendent In a few months ? has organized thirty-two schools in the ?incipal towns, and the large majority of the achers are Southern men. Some arc ne .oes and some are Northum ATS. Tn select ig from thc latter class, care was taken to loose only those men who intended making ie South their homes. The Radical element as discarded altogether. Mr. Duncan re ?ived tho warmest co-operation from the orthern merchants who had settled at Jack mville and other points. They wautcd iendly relations established, and mutual af ction to exist between the two races, and icy knew this could never be found where ?ound New England school marms, who )me here only to make a little money, and hose hearts are full to the brim with ha ed for the people of this section. Mr. D. ad his assistants in every case consulted the lading freedmen, sought their assistance and ?cured their earnest co-operation. Thusj a umber of schoola have been established, ey ry one of which is self-sustaining. The advantage of the system is the proper Jucatron ot the freedmen, the teaching him lat his future must be identified with the outhcrner that the kindest feeling, should ?ist between former master and slave. It is impracticable, at present, probably, > put in operation such procedures in our tate, but we can in Columbus. Every one inst perceive that it is both onr dnty and iterest that our former slaves should be taught right, and tha?t the South should, by kind Dd prudent measures, get control over their iucatiou beforo New England can. School larras will be here in crowds next fall. We ave young and old men who would teach :hools if public opinion, expressed plainly, ould give its approbation. There are also olored men who would make good teachers, lach school could have a number of free pu lls, and still be self-sustaining. One thing ia necessary. A committee bould bo'appointed ?o consult freejy, explain ?atters, and gain the cooperation of influen isl freedmen. A conference of this kind -as held in Augusta, on Friday. The color i men warmly promised aid to the move tent.. Prominent gentlemen have suggested hat the committee' here consist of three lev. Messrs. EvanSj De-Votie and some promi ent alder-man-said pom ittee to be apnoin ?d and requested to act Dy the City Council, o it could also be intrusted the business of | recuring teachers. No money ia required jr the movement--only moral support. We ope these suggestions may be improved and. cted on.-Columbus Sun & Times. SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF HIDDEN TREA CRES BY iNniANs.-The Carrolton (Ilhnoia) democrat says : " For aome time past a party f Indians, numbering fifteen, belonging to he Cherokee tribe, have been encamped on be banka of the Illinois river, ten miles from his place; Their ostensible object was fish ag, hunting, etc., but it appears fron) recent evelopments that their chief aim waa to se ure a hidden treasure of seven urns of Span sh coin which had been imbeded in the bluffs t that point in years gone, by their ancient rjrefathers. They seemed to bo extremely Rations in their manners, lest the pale faces bould discover the cause of their presence a that particular locality, and wrest from hom the coveted prize, for which they had raveled many miles. After diligent search, rtu'ch occupiod some ten ortwelve dava, they ucceeded in finding the spot Where lay con ealed the secret of their researches. Little emains to bo told. Suffice it to say that, fter duo exploration, their brightest autici lations were by far moro than realized. The irns of gold and other sacred relics spoken of j ?y their chiefs, long since gone to tho happy '.n?ntjog grounds?' were secured, and1 on esterday .morning these untutored children f the forest took their departure for the far r7est, with many thousand Spanish dollars o cheer thom on their long and tedious aarch." -tttz GEN. GBANT NO? A GINDIDATB pon THE PRESIDENCY.-It may be stated positively hat Gen. Grant will not accept a nomination or the Presidency for the next term from no )arty or faction .whatever. His nomination vould be equivalent to an election, and his jlection would necessarily lead to his retire ment from public life afthe end, of Ejs term )f office. Be considers himself y?t too young to withdraw into retirement; and, While he ^questionably ha? aspirations for Presidcn ?il banora with tFiicb. toaowuhiaUiasklm I career, he feels confident that he can enjoy snob honors eight or twelve or more years hence as readily as now. These ideas have recently been expressed by him to his noBt intimate personal friends, and are unques tionably the ideas that will control him, net I withstanding the powerful influences now be ing used to win his consent to accept a nomi nation. ? ?? . RED AND BLACE.-The Chicago Times has I taken up the defence of the miserable Indian tribes of the Plains, bodies of whom are con tinually being butchered by rapacious white men. Referring to the late massacre, in which sixteen of these poor people, fourteen of them being women and> children, were victims, the Times says : "Themost singular of all this matter is, that the abolition newspaper press, which every day weeps tears of blood over reported outrages committed on Southern negroes, has not one word or rebuke for the real atrocities committed against thesejpoor Indiana. When the negroes in Memphis, the other day, at tacked the whites and were shot down to the number of half a dozen, the abolition press of the city boiled over with indignation at the utter atrociousness of shooting negroes who were guilty of nothing but insurrection. None of these papers have a word to say about the massacre of these Indian women and children. We call upon President John son to take such steps as will prevent the constant occurrence of these cowardly atroci ties on our borders." TUE RICHT SPIRIT.-The white people of Marion, in Perry County, Alabama, recently held a meeting, in which they spoke kindly of their former slaves, and expressed a desire to assist them in educating their children. Recently the colored people held a meeting in the Baptist Church in Marion, to respond to the wise action, and passed the following resolutions : Whereas, The white citizens of this com munity, our former masters, have by a series of resolutions expressed their approbation of our feeble attempts made for tue education of our children, and also their willingness to extend a helping hand to us : Resolved, That while wo cannot but rejoice at our liberation from slavery, we hold none bat the most pleasant feelings toward our former owners, and rejoice that a feeling of kindness and willingness to help ns is mani fested by them. Resowed, That as we believe we must re main a part of the population of this conntry, it is incumbent or. es to cultivate kindly re lations between the white and colored people, and it is also an imperative duty laid upon us to cultivate our minds and to educate our children. Resolved, That a committee of seven be appointed to confer with the gentlemen of the other committee, and perfect such ar rangements as they believe will work for the improvement of our race, and we pledge our selves to support them with all the means in our power. FANCY DANCES.-If we ever have any chil dren we will teach them to dance fancy dan ces, to the neglect of their catechism. Not that they wilt enjoy thc bopping around, first on one foot and then on the other, then on both ; but they w.ill have a good chance to hug other folks' wives and sweethearts! This is the secret of tho dancing. No one could object then ; but if a fellow was to sit h/ the side of his own wife, even in a ball room, and hu^ her half aa hard-well, wouldn't there be remarks? Guess not. (We6peak ironically.) Talk about going to pic-nics, sparking by moonlight, sitting cn the stoop Sunday evening, und stealing a kiss every time a star shoots, (that's the nicest game,) sleigh-riding by the side of a rosy-checked girl, or eating happiness with a gold spoon all, all these sink into insignificance when fancy danciog comes ou. But theo if a fel low don't kuow how, and takes to a party a girl that does ; and if he has to sit on a cold bench and see another fellow doing the sweet bugging of that angelic creature that be paid his ticket to, it's awful 1 Just, to sit and see another's arms where yours should be ; her head where it should not be-and, well, don' take a girl to a fancy dancin? party unless you know the ropes. MR. SEWARD AND LOUIS NAPOLE?N-SECRET HISTORY.-It is stated by promiueut Senators in Washington tba,, Mr. Seward had conclu ded a secret treaty with Napoleon, by which the United States is debarred from interfering with the movements of tho foreign troops now supporting Maximilian. After the wirb drawal of tbe French, Maximilian, it is un dcratpod, will offer himself as a candidate for tho Presidency of the Mexican Republic. Ilaving secured that position, he is to take advantage of any small revolution, of which Mexico affords so many, and declare himself Emperor, thereby flanking the Monroe doc trine and having a firmer imperial throne than at present. It is probable the Senate will solicit information from Mr. Seward concern ing this little game.-New York Herald. MORE AHOUT THE MINISTER WHO WHIPPEO nts CUILD TO DEATH-Tno account of -the whipping to death of a child three years old bv its father, a clergyman, because it would not say its prayers, near Medina, New York, awakened tho greatest indignation of our citizens against the inhuman father. The report was hardly predjted, so unnatural and monstrous was the crime committed. We blujh to say that tho most sickening and dreadful part of unparalleled horror was not published. Lindsley's (that's the monster's name) statement before the coroner's jury was cor roborated by other witnesses. The body of tho child told more plainly and pathetically than words could of the terrible punishment it had undergone. Several of its fingers were broken and the blood had oozed from every pore.

GENTLEMEN: In grateful commemoratior of tho heroism of the noble dead, who fell defence of our city, I respectfully solicit per mission to erect upon the mound in the ce tre of Bienville Square, a marble monumen thirty feet in height, bearing a brief inscrit tion in honor of the faithful standard-bearer of onr lost cause ; tn * memorabilia," whoa marble lips shall whisper to every passir stranger, eiste viator. The distance and elusion of the spot appropriated "as the " sol dier's rest," have been deemed valid objec tions to the erection of a monument in tb city cemetery, and all who have manifest?e an interest in this last and most inadequate tribute to our fallen countrymen, concur the opinion that, if raised in Bienville Square it would furnish a grateful tn memoriam which would ornament and hallow the site st lected.

One of the most remarkable cases that ha ?ver come under the observation of our med cal fraternity, has just transpired at the rest lenee of a young man named Abdel, who re ?des on First street, Arbor Hill. Mr. A. i> i returned soldier. He has been home some :hing less than a year. When he came h*. was suffering from a Minnie ball wount through the fleshy part of the right arm. 1 aecame so bad that the attending physiciai alked seriously of amputation. This workei seriously on the mind of his young wife (hi ,iad but a short time previously got married.) 3he cared for and dressed the arm regularly, ind paid every attention to it, net wishing 0 see her husband with only ono arm. Thu ?vas some eight or nine months ago. " Undei .he kind care of the wife, whose whole atten tion was absorbed in the thought of a one irmed husband, tho wound got well, and the inn was saved. Now for the sequel. All this transpired eight or nine months ago. The fi ather day the wife of Mr. Abriel gave birtl to a child who had one developed arm, bm the other was a stump, similar, to one whicl the poor wife's mind was impressed with at the time the surgeons were takujg:. off hei husband's. Amputation could not have pro Juced a more beautiful stump, and what if more, the scar of the bullet-hole, so visible 0*> the father's arm, was so visible on the child's arm at the base of the stum pas if really ii Sided by a ball.
