A cottage fair, Half-hlid in locusts wild and blooming, Above, no cloeds of sorrow looming, No fell despair. A flowered dell, Where in theiBummer's golden morning, With garland's gay, ny hair adorning, I loved to dwell. A smiling %ale, As green as Eden in its springing, The fragrant. air with music ringing O'er hill and dale. At early dawn, When I irds their matin hymns were chant ing, Bre sunbeams through the boughs fell slanting, Upon the lawn, I frolicked wild lIy ringlets on the breezes flowing, )iy face with ruddy health all glowing A gleesome child. At. brilliant noon, Within the woodland blithely playing, Or by the murm'ring streamlet straying. I tripped alone. bly busy brain, Was full of cheerful fancy-weaving, Iy spirit free frcm all uphbaving, Of hopeleis pain. At set of sun, I ceased my idle, careless roaming, And in the weird and darksome gloaming, Forgot tuy fun. While starlight clear. Was silvery radiance tlining, And vesper bells were softly ringing, Upon the air. Beside the hearth, My mother fair sat. sweetly smiling, My father's neary heart beguiling, With gentle mirth. In cradle near, Her hair with golden lustre gleaming, Her eyes with azure ieauties beaming, Was baby dear. My ehildhood's home, To thee my thronging thoughts are t urning, And rising hope is dimly burntng, Beyond the glo nt. Oh! hallowed spot, Whose loc, t gay and green are flow'ring, The cottage in their saide embow'ring, Are ne'er forgot. The Fatal Test. One night, while seated with some friends, the subj -ot of courage came up for discussion, and divers were the opinions advanced as to what it truly was, and what would be a proper test to prove the true metal from the false. The argument waked warm, and twelve o'clock found us far from any decision, Albert O'Brien, a scion of the Emerald Isle, had been particularly boastful, and longed for the chanae to have his Milesian bravery put to the test, boldly avowing that no Eng. lishman ever possessed one tithe of the disregard for danger that belong. ed to his warmer blooded brothers. This was, of course, denied ; and Frank Leslie, a Hampshire youth, cold and passionless, strenguously mnaintai's ed that directly opposite was the came ; that the fiery ardor of the Mbilesian was like gunpowder-a flash, and nothing u-ore-a furious sound, ending in smoke ; while that of the Englishman was like the thrice heat. * ed steel, glowing and lasting to the very death. * ~ 'I dare do anything that you dare,' replied Albert, his anger getting the Letter of his judgment. 'Dare you ? WVe will see, my boy. WVait hero, all of you, until I return.' Anid F'rank took his hat antd disap peared. WVe heard his firm atep upon the * stairs-heard him open the door, and saw his tall form a moment in the street. Then it was lost to usn, for night was intensely dark and stormy. The rain swept round the cornerd t gusts, amnd the wind fairly rattled the. * windows and howled down the chime noy. It was just the night to make one think of ghostg-th~e dead--every. thing that the soul shrinks from om. munioni or fellowship with. I knew not if other -mindas dwelt upon such themes as mine dlid ; .but certainly a apell appeared to- halve fa)Ien upon .1ll,-for' &ilence toot the place of noisy discnssion, and the room that a few moments before had rang with loud debate, was as undis turbod as the tomb. A half whisper, '1 wonder where he has gone 11 were the only words spoken until Frank re. turned, shook the sleety drops from his person, coolly took his seat, lighted his pipe, and renewed the conversa tion with ar air of perfect unconcern. 'I have fulfilled mny part of the con tract, now fulfil yours,' he said. ' Well, what have you done 1 where have you been 1' questioned Albert, still defiant. 'You know, all of you, the vault in the old church-yard on the opposite. corner-you know it, for we were in it this very morning, and remarked the peculiar maniner in which the coffins had been placed. They form, as you will remember, three sides of a square the fourth being the door at the foot of the steps. Well, I have been there-have crawled down the long steps-entered the vault in all its darkuoss and fanciful horrors-walked to the extreme end, and placed my watch and chain on the pile of decay ed coffins there.You go bring it, Albert - alone-without a light-as I have done, and I will own that you, are as brave as an Eulglishman." A thrill of horror-a sickening, chilling sensation, took possession of us all as we fully drank in the purport of his slowly uttered, carefully measured words ; and every eye was turned upon the Irishman, to mark the effect upon him. Truly he was like marble I Every drop of the rud dy blood that usually glowed beneath his soft obeeks had been driven back to his heart, and he stood like one entranced. That he was nerving himself for the task, I plainly saw ; and that his entire nature shuddered at the bare thought of going alone and in darkness into the mouldy abode of the ancient dead, was egually plain to me. Nothing but his pride kept him from at once con feasing his fear ; and well indeed would it have been if even that had failed him. $Frank is but joking,' I said, anx. ious to break the stony silence, and to awake myself and cowpanions from the dreadful nightmare atr-: had seixed every heart in its icy clutches. '1-shall-go-and-see 1' was the re ply from the ashy lips that almost re fused to do their offlice. 'Tou shall not! It is horrid-dread ful was echoed on every bide. 'Cowards, all 1' retorted Frank, refilling his'pipe, and watching us with his cold tron-gray eyes. 'You might call me a coward till dooms-day," I replied, 'before I'd go. It is simply a full hardy undertak ing., 'All afraid of ghosts, as I live 1' again taunted Frank. Albert is. a medical student, and therefere ought to be familiar with the dead.' 'You shall not go, Albert,' came from half a dozen pair of lips, and as many hands were laid upon him to retain him. 'Let me go, gentlemen. I am no coward, and yet I will not foolishly deny that the first thought struck me with the utter desolatenoss of the un dertaking,' and he put aside our hands and departed. For a moment all stood still, not knowing what to do ; and then, as ir by Intuition, twe follwed him, without waitinlg to listen to the mocking words and laughter of the eold-blooded Frank Leslie. We saw A lbert leap the high fence; we heard him creeping down the slimy, mostey steps ; and then, even we too, had clansbered over the enclosure and were letting ourselves dowti Into the tangled grass, when we beard a rattling sound, a heavy fall, anid a shriek that pierced our brains. Not another word--and while one, more collected than the rest, hurried book to the room for a light, we stood there with great sweat-drops upon our foreheads and hurriedly beating hearts, hut otherwise as motionless as the long mouldered dead beneath out feet. The light was brought; and ren dered desperate by our feelings, we rushed down the lpipery stilrrs in a body, and saw great heaven!I will any of us ever forget it ? we saw the sense less form of our friend atmetohed upon the stone ptvement, hnlf covered by 'dead bones and the week of rotten coffins ! We tore him from his fear ful surrounding., raised hitm In our arnme, and 'bore him from that ghast ly charnel houeo-snd we saw, as we laid him on a couch, that ho had the watch and chain-thme fatal test grasped fimnly in one hand, while so cut~ed to a button-hole of his eoat hung a fragment of a coffin' by the rusted screw Of that night, of the day thiat fol. lowed, I wvillI not write.

They were in their sweet summer bloom when we reached tbem,' and the autumn winds whirled their leaves over his grave. A bravo, generous heart ceased to beat, and a genious. lighted mind was lost to earth, by a vain, foolish test-and new that more than a score of years have pass. ed, I write the tale of horror as a warning. Preparing for War. The Savannah Advertiser says that the t.teamship Magoolie, on bar last trip from New York, brought out some twenty or wore laborers, this installment to be further inereased at that port to the number of one hun-i dred men, to constitute the workig force of Colonel Ludlow, of the Uni ted Statea Eugineors, who will at once couimonoe orcrations in building extensive aid furu-idabie earthworks and otherwise strenuathening the for. tifleations of Fort PIlaki. We learn that, the working plans, which were exptoted to have aruived ftom New York are this, are looked for by every mail, when the force employed will at once be dispatched to Fort Puluski. From what we can glean thus far, we learn that barrroks for the quartering of one hundred la borers are first to be erected outside of the fort, when the work of throwing up extensive earthworks in the V of the fort, will be at onde commenced. Gun. of fifteen inch calibre are to be mounted, but the number we could not ascertain. The work, aside from the equip. ments, is to cost $26,000, and it is surmised that, in view of the present aspect of affAirs especially the com plications with Spain, showing a problem of no easy solution, the work *M(urther strengthening Pulaski, in adition to the earth batterips, will be "ontinued by the Government, transforming it Into one of the strong est forts on the Atisutio coast. We hear 'that orders have been issued for the overhauling of the bat teries at Charleston, involving vast changes aud large amounts of money, and that a general preparation for possible war will be made. Diriding the Spols-A Lovely Row. On Saturday last, the Uounty Treasurer reported to the County Commissioners, as by law he is re quirod to do, that he hd $20,000 in the treasury subject to their dibposi. tion. Whereupon, as the News has been informed by a prominient Coun ty offioial, the Co muissioner first re. blgously made out their own accounts, and drew what they estimated was due them to the uttermost farthing. Their wives and otler relatives in County offices were then also paid up in fulls not to mentiona cheek for $700 to 0. 0. Bo wen, for services the nature of which is not stated. Their politi cal friends next seceived the lion's share of their demands,. while their political opponents got a sop, which would not have delayed Cer hben for the infiuitebsimal part of a second in his infernal ululationa. Sheriff Mackey received one-quarter, or a ti ifle over, of what was clsimed by him, and Coroner Taft received about. one-seventh. TIhe former imumedi diately instituted suit for his balanoby; when the County Commisdsioners camne down and offerod . him $7,500O instead of $5,000, their first offer. This he refuisedl, and the County Treasu~ry was immediately enjoined as stated in yesterday's Ne ws. Coro ner Taft has also iustituted seit1 agpainst the County for the $3,500 due him. It Is a very pretty quarrel as it stands.- Ch/arlevtdon Newo. CrIsis in Spain. The reading of the royal decree, dissolving the Cortes seemed to take the members by surprise, and crestedt a storm of indignation. Among other passionate speeobes,'a deputy eachaim. ed that, "the time had come for barra-1 cadet." The session was declared at an end atnid the greatest uproar and confusion. The people gcerally seem to symipathixe with thme Depu ties, and demand the retirement at the Segosta Ministry, to which the King has finally refused to accede..

On inquiry, he learned with despair what had happened and cried: "Alas, alas I I shall be looked upon as a deserter ; dishonored, lost, un happy wretch that I am." Ills lamentations excited the compassion of a worthy tradesman, who took him to his house, 41d all in his power to con sole him, taught him to make broad, for he was a baker, and after some months gave him his only daughter, Justine, in marriage. Five years afterward a stranger sail was seen to approach the island. The inhabitants flocked to the beach, and soon discovered in the advancing party a number of soldiers wearing the uniform of the 'Frenoha army. "I'm done for now-nWy bread is bak ed," cried th. dismayed husband of Justine. An idea, however, sudden. ly occurred to him and revived his courage. He ran to the ho use, sllpp. ed into his uniform, and seizing his fire.look, returned to the beach and postod himself as sentry at the mo ment the French. were landing. "Who goes there " he cried. in a voice like thunder. "Who goes thero, yourself?'" replied one in the boat. "Vho are you ?" "A sentinel." "How long have you been on guard here I" "Five years," rejoined our man. Davoust laughed at his quaint reply, and gave a dischargo in due form to his involuntary deserter. Stagnant Water and 1llk. It has been known for a long time that milk left standing in a room where patients are sick becomes per meated with the subtle poison of the disease. Contagion has also been spread through milk, by reason of per. sons recovering from sickness attend. ing to the labor of the dairy. The kind of grass or fodder on which the cows feed also gives a peouliar flayor and quality to their milk. In addi, tion to these facts, Is has recently been demonstrated that the most startling consequences may ensue from the animals drinking stagnant water. Professor Law, of Cornell University, has examined, with a microsoope, milk of an unusual, ropy appearance, and found it full of those fungi, or vegetable organisms, that abound in stagnant water. Ou inqui. ry, he found that the cows from which it came had only stagnant water to drink, and further investigation re vealed the fact that the blood of the animals teemed with these fungi, and that the cows were in a feverish, un healty condition, The warning which this discovery ought to convey is very siuple. It is the duty of dairymen to see that their eattle have a bupply of pure, sweet water. They use suc~h a great gq~antity of water that a judi cious concern for the health of the .Jommunity should induce them to emplloy none but thme very cleanest. Unlparalleled, Indeed. The State governments in the South, according to Congressman Voorhees, are "unparalleled in their infanmy, and their ignorance." The worst of it is, there is entirely too nich trnth in this emphatic state ment.
