Some twelve years ago there came to Louis? ville, from Germany,, a very attractive-looking German girl, of about eighteen years of age, named, if our recollection serves us right, Cath? arine Melchior. Sh? was what is termed a beautiful woman, finely developed, with fault? less form and graceful motion?a woman who would attract attention wherever seen. She re? mained at Louisville but a short time, when she left the city for the town of Bockport, op the Indiana side of the river, about fifty miles above Louisville, where she soon obtained ser? vice in the family of an old and wealthy far? mer named Sharp, residing some two and a half | or three miles above the town. Mr. Sharp and his aged wife lived alone to? gether, their children having all married and removed from the old homestead. The old people were very highly esteemed, and were well known to nearly all the citizens of the county. Catharine found her new home a very pleasant one, and was apparently well content? ed and very happy. About two years after she had entered the Sharp family Mrs. Sharp was taken ill. She was confined to her bed for some time; but, growing better, her speedy re? covery was fondly hoped for by her husband and children. Very suddenly, however, she was taken worse, suffering intense pains in the abdomen for some hours, when she died. The symptoms of her fatal illness, it was remem? bered % few years later, were decidedly those of poison from arsenic or strychnine. Mr. Sharp and his children monrned her death, but no one seemed to feel it more deeply than Catharine, and this was remarked th rough - oat the neighborhood; and so Mr. Sharp pre? vailed upon her, which was not difficult, to re? main in bis house as his housekeeper and gen? eral superintendent of the domestic depart? ment of his extensive farm, paving her a band some salary for her services. Time wore on, as time is always doing, and the wounds that grief at the demise of his wife had inflicted upon the heart of Mr. Sharp were healed. And then it bethought him that, with Catharine as his wife, his declining years would be full of comfort, and so he paid, court to the young maiden. She was averse to the union proposed by the old man; it would be too much like uniting June with December, she argued, as she looked up langnishingly from her lustrous Mack eyes and beautiful face into the counten? ance of her aged lover. Those glances, as she well knew, were not to 'be withstood; and so the old man's passion was only inflamed and his suit pressed with more earnest determina? tion. Catharine tack a few days to deliberate over the matter, and then she returned answer to her persevering but gray-haired lover that she would marry bira on condition that he wonld deed her his farm, valued at about twenty-five thousand dollars, and certain other moneys and property. This the old man agreed to do, sad in due course of time all the necessary pa? pers for the transfer were legally drawn and placed in Catharine's hands. Then the wed? ding took place, and for a couple of years or more the infatuated old man bathed in the sun? shine of her smiles, and received her toying with all the delight of a child. But suddenly he died. His disease was a languishing one at first, and indicated toward its fatal termination a speedy recovery. Bot those dreadful pains that bad been noticed in the illness of his wife immediately prior to her demise supervened, and as suddenly and painful as his aged wife had died so died he. His children and many of his neighbors believed that both he and his first wife had died from poison at the hands of Catharine, but they dared only breathe their suspicions suppressed in whispers, lest the law should take hold of them in the shape of an action for slander. Catharine was rich. She had but just reach ?? the prime of womanhood; was the most teantiful woman in the country, and it is not at all swpristng that the days of her widow? hood were made bearable by the attentions she received from both men and women. In due coarse of time her grief was so much assuaged that she received as a suitor for her band a well known and popular merchant, named Batche Ion who did? business, we believe, at Bockport and Evans rille. Mr. Batchelor was supposed to be wealthy, and so his suit for Catharines fceart and hand prospered, and they were mar? ried; The course of their married life ran smoothly enough. Indeed, their apparent hap? piness became subject of remark. Both were apparently deeply devoted to each other. But after a year or two of bliss Mr. Batchelor was attacked by a languishing illness, which in? creased and diminished in severity by turns, un? til the disease, which puzzled the skill of the physicians, took a favorable turn and strong hopes were entertained for its speedy and favor? able termination. It was a noticeable feature of Mr. Bate heloriu disease, as it bad been of the disease of which Mr. Sharp and his first wife had died, that it was seated in the stomach, and no medicines seemed to reach or control it.? His partial recovery was therefore unaccounta? ble to the physician or any other hypothesis than the great physical recuperative powers of Mr. Batchelor. But in the midst of the fond anticipations of his friends for his recovery, Mr. Batchelor suddenly died in great agony, suffering intense pain in the stomach. He was buried, and the widow's wail sounded over his grave and was re-echoed from the old forest that skirted the cemetery. But the dead ausband was a Mason, and in the lodge bis sud? den death, and the sudden and similar disease of | Mrs. and Mr. Sharp, were discussed, and the conclusion arrived at was that poison had aided their sudden exit from the world, and that Cath? arine Batchelor was the poisoner. And so the remains of Mr. Batchelor were quietly disin tered, the stomach taken from them aud sent to a noted physician and chemist for analyzation. The result of the analysis was the discovery of | enough mineral poison to produce death, and the evidence that Mr. Batchelor had died from poison. Mrs. Batchelor was arrested, lodged in jail indicted by the Grand Jury, and in due time arraigned for trial. But upon affidavit made by her that she could not have a fair trial at Kockport in cocsequer.ee of the excitement against her, a change of yenue was granted, and the cases taken to Perry County. The trial will commence at Cannelton on the 26th of the present month, before Judge Laird, when, if J Eroved guilty, it is to be hoped, this modern ucretia Borgia will be placed where she will have no further occasion to practice her mur? derous arte. Mr. Batchelor was well known to the merchants of this city.?Louisville (Ay.) Ledger. _ ? "I wish," said Lord Bacon, "every man knew enough about law. as would enable him to keep himself out of ifc." ? A sermon in four words on the vanity of worldly possessions?"iihrouds have no pock eta." Terrible Retribution.?The truth of the following narrative is vouched for by several respectable citizens of Rutherford couuty, Ten? nessee: Some five or six years ago Mr. F., in connec? tion with two other Northern gentlemen, rented a cotton farm near Murfreesboro, employed ne? groes to cultivate the ground, for wages, which they never paid them. The prospect for an abundant crop was very flattering in the early part of the season, and expectations were exci? ted to the highest pitch. The growing season so fondly anticipated was soon changed by the severe drouth and the crop seriously damaged, and his cherished expectations sadly disappoint? ed. Mr. F., instead of gracefully submitting to the ordering of Providence, became exasperated with his Creator, and remarked repeatedly to the family with whom he lived, that "God was dishonest, unjust and had deceived him." Such impious expressions he used with oaths, saying again that "for the future he did not intend to regard His laws in any way whatever; that there was no particular Providence, and that he wonld in the future not rely upon a gener? ous Providence; and that he would look to his own interest, and if God was too busy with his own affairs to send him rain in due season, he guessed He would be too busy to notice his (F.'s) actions, and he intended to be master of his own time." "Now," said he, "this is Sun? day; I am resolved not to lose another Sunday. I cannot afford it. I intend to run my gin all day next Sunday, and every Sunday until I gin my crop;" saying, "God has cheated me, and I intend to avenge myself." The last time F. repeated these impious and defiant remarks was on Sunday morning, and was taken violently ill the following Tuesday, with what was thought to be epileptic fits, wildly calling for absent persons ana things, sometimes raving and cursing the negroes, ana telliug them to "drive that gin faster." Then he would gaze awhile at some apparent object, whose approach he dreaded, aha imagined that it was about to pounce upon him, when he would scream pitcously for help to wrestle with a terrible foe; struggling convulsively and biting his tongue till the bloody loam issued from his mouth, and so rolled aud strained his eyeballs till they actually burst. His counte? nance all the time was horrible and ghastly be? yond description. The preceding Sabbath he had vowed with an oath that the next Sunday he would run his gin, and so forth. But on Tuesday ae was taken ill, and so became worse and worse, until Fri? day following, when he expired, and his mortal remains were on the Sunday, as above, on the way to his home at the North for interment Beautiful Ireland.?We know, of course, that Ireland is called the "Emerald Isle," and the color of the emerald is green, but never had it entered into our imagination that there was, anywhere in this world, to be seen such verdure as it charmed our eyes to look upon the rural districts of Ireland. The slopes, the knolls, the dells, fields of young grain, over which the breezes creep like playful spirits of the beauti? ful ; the pastures, dotted with white sheep of the purest wool; the hill sides, rising up into mist-shrouded mountains, are all covered with thick carpets of smooth, velvet green. But Ireland should also be called Flowery Isle.? There is not a spot in Ireland, I believe, where blessed nature can find an excuse for putting a flower, but she has put one?not only in the gardens and in the meadows, but upon the very walls and the crags of the sea, from the great blooming rhododendrons, down to the smallest flower that modestly peeps forth from its grassy cover. The Irish furze, bo richly yellow, cov? ers all places that might otherwise be bare or barren, the silkworm delights everywhere, from thousands of trees, to drop its "web of gold;" ' the blooming hawthorn, with the sweet-scented pink, and especially the white, variety, adorns tue landscape and the gardens; wall flowers, of every hue and variety, clamber to hide the harshness of the moral supports; the beeted cliffs of the North Sea are fringed and softened with lovely flowers; and if you kneel anywhere almost on the yielding, velvet carpet, you will find little, well-nigh invisible flowerets?redj white, blue and yellow?wrought into the very woof and texture. Ireland ought to be called the Beautiful Isle. The spirit of the beautiful hovers over and touches, to living loveliness, every point.?Pall Mall Gazette. The Old Story.?The latest tale of man's unfaithfulness to man comes from Selma, Ala. On the first of January, 1871, a syndicate of young men was formed, one of whom, the most trustworthy of them all, was appointed treasu? rer. They then signed a temperance pledge and agreed to deposit on the first day of each month $10 each, to be divided at the end of the year among those members who remained faith? ful to their obligations. One by one they faint? ed and fell, until at the expiration of the speci? fied time, there was only one who had not yielded to the liquid temptation. He repaired at the hour of noon on New Year's day to the appointed place of rendezvous to receive the #1,440 which he had so nobly earned. But the other eleven were not there; so full of fiery thirst, he hastened to a neighboring saloon to to take his first nip for a twelve-month. He hf.d partially swallowed it when ten of his col? leagues entered and revealed to him the horri? fying fact that his watch was twenty minutes too fast. He, too, had fallen, and this vision of a well-filled pocket vanished. The eleven then repaired to the office of the treasurer, only to learn that he had last all the money playing draw poker with one of the church trustees.? An effort is now being made to keep the story out of the newspapers. Taking Cold.?If a cold settles on the out? er covering of the lungs it becomes pneumonia, inflammation of the lungs, or lung fever, which in many cases carries the strongest man to his grave within a week. If a cola falls upon the inner covering of the lungs it is pleurisy, with its knife-like pains, and its ?'ow, very slow re? coveries. If a cold settles in the joints there is rheumatism in its various forms; inflamma? tory rheumatism, with its agonies of pain, and rheumatism of the heart, which in an instant sometimes snaps the cords of life with no friendly warning. It is of the utmost practi? cal importance, then, in this wintry weather to know not so much how to cure a cold as how to avoid it. Colds always come from one cause, some part or the whole of the body being col? der than natural for a time. If a man will keep his feet warm always and never allow himself to be chilled, he will never take cold in a lifetime, and this can only be accomplished by due care in warm clothing, and the avoid? ance of draughts and undue exposure. While multitudes of colds come from cold feet, per? haps the majority arise from persons cooling off too quickly after becoming a little warmer than is natural from exercise, or work, or from confinement to a warm apartment.? Wood's Household Magazine. . Anecdote of WroFALL?A Texas corres? pondent sends the following, saying that it has not appeared in print. Mr. Louis T. Wigfall, one of the leading secessionists of Texas and the South, felt, after Lee's surrender, somewhat embarrassed as to his corporal safety in a land then in possession of his enemies. He left Richmond in disguise, and traveled on mule back, alone, for Texas. Dick Taylor had also surrendered, and all the ferries and crossings were in the hands of the Federal forces. Wig fall could pursue no other course but to risk himself to be put across the Mississippi by a detachment of Union soldiers. He was well disguised. Observing that no allusion was made to himself, and wishing to know, if pos? sible, which way the wind blew, he began a general tirade against the leading Confederates, winding up by inquiring what would be done with that scamp Wigfall if they should catch him. The soldiers replied, they supposed they would hang him. "Yes, they would do exactly right, and I would pull at one. end of the rope J" replied Wigfall, mounting his mule aud trotting off westward.?Harper's Magazine. The Lone Sentry. The following 'beautiful linos were indited by Mr. James R. Randall upon tho doath of Gen. T. J. Jackson. The circumstances which occa? sioned the poem were these: General Jackson's troops after a long and weary march, were so much fatigued, that when ? halt was ordered, almost nearly every man was asleep. The no? ble old Hero guarded the camp alone ths.t night. 'Twas in the dying of the day, The'darkness grew so still, . Tho drowsy pipe of evening birds Was hushed upon the hill. Athwart the shadows of the vale Slumbered, the men of might, As one lone'sentry paced his round To guard the camp that night. A grave and solomn man was he, With deep and sombre brow, Whose dreadful eyes seemed hoarding up Some unaccomplished vow. His wistful glance peered o'er the plain Beneath the starry light, As with the murmured name of God He watched the camp that night. The future opened unto him Its grand and awful scroll, Manassas and the Valley march, Come heaving o'er his soul. Richmond and Sharpsburg thundered by, With that tremendous tight Which gave him to the angel Hosts Who watched the camp that night We mourn for him who diod for us With one resistless mourn. While up the Valley of the Lord, He marches to the throne. He kept the faith of men and saints, Sublime, and pure, and bright, He sleeps, and all is well with him Who watched the camp that night. Brothers, the midnight of the cause Is shrouded in our fate, The demon Goths pollute our soil With fire, and lust, and hate. Be strong, be valiant, be assured, Strike home for Heaven and right, The soul of Jackson stalks abroad And guards our camp to-night. One by One. BY ADELAIDE A. PROCTOR. One by one tho sands are flowing One by one the mountains fall: Some aro coming, some are going; Do not strive to grasp them all. One by one thy duties wait thee, Let thy wholo strongth go to each; Let no future dreams elato thee, Learn those first what these can teach, One. by one, (bright gifts from Heaven,) Joys are sent theo here below: Take them readily when given, Ready, too, to let them go. One by o ne thy griefs shall meet thee, ? Do not; fear an armed band;. * < ~ One will fade as others greet thee. Shadows passing through the land. Do not look at life's long sorrow, See how small each moment's pain; God will help thee for to-morrow, So each day begin again. Every hour that fleets so slowly, Has its task to do or bear; Luminous the crown and holy, When each gem is set with care. Do not linger with regretting, Or for passing hours despond; Nor, the daily toil forgotting, Look too eagerly beyond. Hours arc golden links, God's token, Reaching heaven ; but one by one Take them, lest tho chain be broken, Ere tho pilgrimage bo done. Interesting for Ugly Noses.?A great many people of cither sex are dissatisfied with their noses, which are either too small or too large, or too much turned up, or snub, or in some way not to the taste of the involuntary wearers. Science, it seems, has come to the re? lief of such sufferers. Alexander Boss, of High Holborn, London, advertises a nose machine, "by which the soft cartilage of the nose may be pressed into any desired shape, simply by wear? ing the instrument an hour daily for a short time." There have been old maids and equal? ly old bachelors, with pug noses, who always slept with the nose bandaged down, in the fond hope of securing a graceful droop, and for the convenience of such unfashionably made-up people, Mr. Alex. Ross' machine will be pos? itively invaluable. A Mother's Work.?Many a discouraged mother folds her tired hands at night, and feels as if she had, after all, done nothing, although she has not spent an idle moment since she rose. It is nothing that your little helpless children have bad some one to come to with all their childish griefs and joys ? Is it noth? ing that your husband feels "safe" when he is away to his business, because your careful band directs every thing at home? is it nothing, when his business is over, that he has the blessed refnge of home, which you have that day done your best to brighten and refine ? 0, weaiy and faithful mother! you little know your power when you say: "I have done noth? ing." There is a book in which a fairer re? cord than this is written over against your name. ? A rail load conductor, being asked why ' they locked the stove, replied that it was "to prevent the fire from going out." ? One cannot learn everything: the objects of knowledge have multiplied beyond the pow? ers of the strongest mind to keep pace with them all. ? A young lady at Fond du Lac was mar? ried without shoes or stockings on, the other day, in accordance with an old whim that such an act would bring good luck. ? Mr. Speckles says the best vegetable pill yet invented is an apple dumpling: for destroy? ing a gnawing in the stomach, it is a pill which may always be relied on. ? A Democratic editor says : "We are liv? ing at this moment under an absolute des? potism." We suspect he married the wrong woman. ? He who thinks better of his neighbors than they deserve, .cannot be a bad man, for the standard by which his judgment is formed is the goodness of his own heart. ? So necessary is fun to the mind, that a late philosopher said if you should build schools without play grounds, nobody would get beyond short division in a lifetime. ? A little girl was told to spell ferment, and give its meaning, with a sentence in which it was used. The following was literally her an? swer: "Ferment, a verb, signifying to work. I love to ferment in the garden." ? A very happy retort was that of a bad? gered witnessed to a lawyer named Missing, who was tormenting him. The lawyer was de? fending a prisoner charged with stealing a don? key. The prosecutor had left the animal tied up to a gate, and when ho returned it was gone. Missing was very severe in his examination of the witness. "Do you mean to say the donkey was stolen from that gate ?" "I mean to say, sir," giving the judge and thon the jury a sly look, "the ass was Missing." ? Two ladies in Cincinnati found them? selves in a very awkward position the other day. Entering a large dry goods store, their attention was attracted by a handsome lay fig? ure near the door. "What a handsome velvet cloak that is !" said one of the ladies. "Yes," responded the other, "how natural those curls are I" And witli that the lady raised her par? asol, and gave the handsome figure a little poke in the back. The pretty curls began to quiver, and the supposed image turned its head, cas? ting from two bright eyes a look of amazement upon the two ladies, whose astonishment was ' so intense that they hastily disappeared with-1 out a word of apology for their ludicrous mis-1 take. ) SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO.
