Give us a song r theguardsmen say,. We storm the forts to-morrow; Sing while we may, another day May bring enough of sorrow. They lay along the batteries' side, Below the slumbering cannon, Brave hearts from Severn and from Clyde And from the banks of Shannon. They sang of love and not of famer Forgot was Britain's glory; Each heart recaUed'a different name, But all sang Annie Laurie Voice after voice-caught up the-song. Until its tender passion Swelled like an anthem, rich and strong, Their battle eve's confession. Dear girl f Her name he dare not speak, But as the song grew louder, Something upon the soldier's cheek Washed ofi the 6tains of powder. And once again, a fire of hell Rained on the Russian quarters, 'Mid scream of shot and burst of shell, And bellowing of the mortars. And Irish Norah's eyes are dim, For singer dumb and gory ; And English Mary mourns for him Who sang of Annie Laurie. Beyond the darkening ocean burned Tho bloody sunsot's onibers, While the Crimean valleys learned How English love remembers. Ah! soldiers, to your honored rest, Your truth and valor bearing, The bravest are the tenderest, The loving are the daring. A Remarkable Ghost Story. In the new volume, by the Rev. J. S. Wood, of England?entitled "Man and Beast Here and Heretofore," occurs the following remarka? ble story, which the reader will be surprised to see coming from a distinguished clergyman of the Church of England: "There are, as we know, many persons who cannot believe that, as they put it, the living should be able to see the dead. Neither do I believe iL But as the spirit lives, though the material body no longer encloses it, surely there can be no difficulty in believing that the living spirit within an earthly body may see a living spirit which has escaped from its mate? rial garment. We do not doubt that after the death of the body the spirit will live and see other spirits similarly freed from earth, and it is no very great matter that the living should see the living, though one be still enshrined in its earthly tabernacle, and the other releas? ed from it. "This being granted?and it is not very much to grant?it necessarily follows that if the lower animals possess spirit, they may be capa? ble of spiritual as well as material vision. That they do possess this power, and that it can be exercised, is shown by the story of Balaam. There we find it definitely stated, not only that the ass saw the angel, but that she saw him long before her master did. Now, the angel, being a spiritual being, could only be seen with the spiritual eye, and it therefore follows that, unless the story be completely folse, the animal possessed a spirit, and saw with the eye of that spirit. "I should think that none who believed in the truth of the Holy Scriptures (and I again remind the reader that this book is only inten? ded for those who do so) could doubt that here is a case which proves that the spirit of the ass was capable of seeing and fearing the spiritnal angel. And if that be granted, I do not see how any one can doubt that the spirit which saw the angel partook of his immor? tality, just as her outward eye, which saw ma? terial objects, partook of their mortality. Shortly afterward the eyes of the prophet were opened, and he also saw the angel; but it must be remembered that the eyes of the beast had been opened first, and that she, her master and the angel met for the first time in the same spiritual plane. "I have for a long time had in my possession a letter from a lady, in which she narrates a personal adventure which has a singularly close resemblance to the Scriptural story of Balaam. It had been told me immediately after I threw out my 'feeler* in the 'Common Objects of the Country.' As I had at that time the intention of vindicating the immor? tality of the lower animals, I requested the narrator to write it, so that I might possess the statement authenticated in her own handwri? ting. "At the time of the occurrence the lady and her mother were living in an old country chateau in France. " 'It was during the winter of 18? that one evening I happened to be sitting by the side of a cheerful fire in my bed-room, du si ly engaged in caressing a favorite cat?the illustrious La? dy Catharine, now, alas, no more. She lay in a pensive attitude and a winkingptr.te of drow? siness in my lap; " 'Although my room might be without can? dles, it was perfectly illuminated by the light of the fire. There were two doors?one be? hind me, leading into an apartment which had been locked for the winter, and another on the opposite side of the room, which communica? ted witblhe passage. "'Mama bad not left me many minutes, and the high-backed, old-fashioned arm-chair which she had occupied, remained vacant at the op? posite corner of the fire-place. Puss, who lay with her head on my arm, became more and more sleepy, and I pondered on the propriety of preparing for bed. " 'Of a sudden I became aware that some? thing bad effected my pet's equanimity. The purring ceased, and sho exhibited rapidly in? creasing aymtoms of uneasiness. I bent down and endeavored to coax her into quietness ; but she instantly struggled to her feet in my lap, and spitting vehemently, with back arch? ed and tail swollen, she assumed a mingled attitude of terror and defiance. " 'The change in her position obliged me to raise my head; and on looking up, to my in? expressible horror, I then perceived that a lit? tle, hideous, wrinkled old nag occupied mam? ma's chair. Her hands were rested on her knees, and body was stooped forward so as to bring her face in close proximity with mine. Her eyes, piercingly fierce and shining with an overpowenug lustre, were steadfastly fixed on me. It was as if a fiend was glaring at me through them. Her dress and general appear? ance denoted her to belong to the French " bourgeois ; but those eyes, so wonderfully large, and in their expression so intensely wicked, entirely absorbed my senses, and precluded any attention to detail. I should have screamed, but my breath was gone while that terrible gaze so horribly fascinated me; I could neither withdraw my eyes nor rise from my seat. " 'I had meanwhile been trying to keep a tight hold upon the cat, but she seemed reso? lutely determined not to remain in such an ugly neighborhood, and after some most des? perate efforts, at last succeeded in escaping from my grasp. Leaping ovor tables, chairs, and all that came in her way, she repeatedly threw herself, with frightful violence, against the top panel of the door which communica? ted with the disused room. Then, returning in the same frantic manner, she furiously dashed against the door on tho opposite side. " 'My terror was divided, and I looked by turns, now at the old woman, whose great, staring eyes were constantly fixed on me, and now at the cat, who was becoming every in? stant more frantic. At last the dreadful idea that he animal had gone mad had the effect of resoring my breath, and I screamed loudly. " 'Mamma ran in immediately, and the cat, on the door opening, literally sprang over her head, and for upward of half an hour ran up and down stairs as if pursued. I turned to the object of my terror; it was gone. Under such circumstances the lapse of time it is dif? ficult to appreciate, but I should say that the apparition lasted about four or five minutes. " 'Some time afterwards it transpired that a former proprietor of the house?a woman? had hanged herself in that very room." "The close, but evidently unsuspecting re? semblance of this narrative to the story of Balaam is worthy of notice. In both cases we have the remarkable fact that the animal was the first to see the spiritual being, and to show by its terrified actions that it had done so." * Washington Correspondence of the PUtsburg Commercial. A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE. Lore, Courtship and Marriage. A few days ago an advertisement published in one of the newspapers of the capital, an? nounced the sale of a large assortment of fur? niture and articles of virtu. Such sales are frequent in Washington, and are the natural sequences to the transitory conditions which enter into the lives of the majority of its resi? dents. For a few years, or frequently for but a few brief months, some office-holder, anxious to imitate some one above him, or some upstart individual possessed of sudden means, will rise into notoriety on account of the show of his establishments. The disappearance of such objects of prominence elicits no thought, for this sort of mushroom growth thrives in Wash? ington social atmosphere. But connected with the particular case referred to, there is a sad history. All the parties were prominent, and could trace their parentage back a generation or two without coming in contact with one of the Darwinian progenitors of the human family. About six years ago Maryland left a Senator here?a man of quiet demeanor, and one who, in his own State, was foremost in family con? nections and affluence. He brought with him to the nation's capital, among others of his family, a beautiful daughter. At the same time there figured in Washington society a young man of fine presence, of cultivated man? ners, of every manly accomplishment, and in? herited opulence. He was one of a family conspicuous in Washington politics. His fa? ther was the contemporary and friend of the great spirits who figured in the government more than a quarter of a century ago, and the magnificence of his entertainments still forms the most attractive and romantic page in the history of society at the capital. The father died, and about four years ago the son became enamored of the daughter of the Maryland Senator. The acquaintance soon ripened into affection. Every sentiment of devotion and duty awakened in the bosom of this chivalric youth. The richest products of art in costly jewels was bestowed upon the ob? ject of his heart's desire. Such a fever heat of love soon ripened into a union. The nuptials were to be celebrated at the family of the be? trothed, on the beautiful shores of the Chesa? peake. The day arrived. In frout of the cap? ital lay a steamer, profusely decorated with the flags of all nations. A baud cf music sat upon the deck, discoursing sweet strains. At an early hour the groom, attended by a large reti? nue of friends?young bloods of the city?era barked upon the steamer, and was soon passing down the broad waters of the Potomac. Upon approaching the home of the betrothed, which looked out upon the placid waters of the bay, salutes were fired, flags waved, and swell? ing sounds of music carried upon the gentle air announced the coming of the groom. The inhabitants of the surrounding country had gathered on the shores. The groom, with his princely retinue, music and flying colors, marched to the mansion, followed by hundred of the inhabitants. A Southern welcome greeted all. After the necessary offices of re? spect and hospitality had passed, preparations were made for the nuptial ceremony. The relatives and friends from far and near, clergy? men, beautiful women with rich toilets, and country gentlemen, assembled in the main hall of the mansion. The formulas of religion and good morals were consummated, and two lov? ing hearts were made one. The crowning event of the occasion was followed by music and dancing, salutes, fireworks, and general revelry. The scene at this time is represented by an eye-witness to have been suggestive of the court of an Oriental potentate. The bride and the groom now left these scenes of mirth to enjoy the fruits of love and a protracted* honeymoon amid the now and classic surroundings of the Old World. There they traveled in state. They were rirrounded by courtiers, and one hundred lackeys and servants did their bidding. Frequently the groom and his courtiers were mistaken for a royal party and were tendered unusual honors. The appetite of love sharpened by such an ah* of romance prompted a corresponding liberali? ty. There was no wish which the groom was notjready to obey. Eighf3en hundred dollar music boxes, four hundred dollar, clocks, ele? gant carriages, blooded horses and livery at? tendants, silks and velvets from the looms of France, gems of art from Italy, and the speci? alities of every principality and power in Eu? rope were thrown at the feet of the Maryland bride. The attractions of the capitals of tho Old World exhausted, back to the capital of their own land sped the young couple. Here they continued this same sumptuous style of living. Their residence was one of the finest in the city, and the entertainments given thore were unrivaled. But three years had elapsed since the nup? tial festivities on the shores of the Chesapeake. The wealth of Egypt's Khedive would hardly have perpetuated such a round of extrava? gance. The cry of the creditor was soon heard at the door. The young groom was soon brought to a realizing sense of his folly. He accused his bride of various excesses and in? discretions. The green eyed monster, jealousy, added its scorpion sting to the young man's anguish. The fall was as rapid and no less marked than the ascent. A few months of domestic infelicity, a few weeks of despair, and but a single instant of action ended the care it of the groom and blasted forever the hopes of the bride. A corpse and an empty vial told the tale of the hero of this sad reality. The heroine, now sheltered beneath the parental roof, doubtless often looks out upon the rip? pling waves of the Chesapeake to see in their bright surface a reflection of the happy scenes of her nuptial day. The hammer of the auc? tioneer was the last requiem of this blighted home and the demolished household. Nepiio and Nigger.?The London corres pendeut of the New York Tribune says : "Peo p'o here say 'nigger.'" From this it would seem that the mistake is not conGued to the Southern States, if indeed it is a mistake. It is certainly nearer to the classical standard than negro, and with. the omis? sion of one "g," would be the genuine Latin word "niger." The "i" being short in "nigger," the double "g" mat-na the pronuncia? tion iu English original, and possibly owes its introduction to that fact. But, after all, the word is only designed to define a color?black ?and the opposite of white; and among the genuine Africans of the West Indies is iu much higher repute thau the word "colored," which they apply in scorn and comtempt to mulattoes, hybrids, bastards and other inferior breeds.? J One of the blackest members of the last Legisla? ture of Virginia took the same view of the mat? ter, and, in debate in the House, always spoke of himself aud his race as "niggers." A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.? Richmond Whig. ? Common sense is only a modification of talent?genuis is an exaltation of it. "How Not to Coiidnct a Country Newspaper." The following excellent bit of humor is taken from a paper read before the Indiana Press Association at its recent session bv Wil lard Nash, of the Logansport Pharos : Mr. President?Ladies and Gentlemen : When your committee assigned me the task of telling "How not to conduct a Country News? paper," they recognized the "eternal fitness of things," for "how to conduct a country news? paper" is prominent among innumerable things that I don't know; and yet, ignorance on this point is inexcusable, for no man can be con? nected with a country newspaper two hours and a half without receiving advice'from many "friends of the paper," who know just how to do it. Our facilities for acquiring knowledge are so great that every man, woman and child?except the publisher?knows how to conduct a country newspaper, and most of them would be at home on a metropolitan journal. The man who is not required to pay for material and labor, or furnish copy, finds it the easiest thing imaginable to publish a pa? per, and why all the dolts drift into newspaper offices is a question that sorely puzzles suffer? ing humanity. If a man erects a building on his own ground, buys presses, and all kinds of printing material, writes and selects his matter and pays his employees, he imagines that he owns a country newspaper. Nothing can be further from the truth. The office is owned by a joint stock company composed of an indefi? nite number of stockholders, ranging from five hundred to five thousand?each share repre? senting a dollar and a half or two dollars, and every member of the concern imagining that he owns g controlling interest, whether his subscription be paid in greenbacks or advice. But I am digressing?sijpply wandering off among the wise men who are always ready to tell you hew not to conduct a newspaper. In publishing a country newspaper don't get in too much news. It necessitates leaving out the dog fights, which are of greater interest to many of our readers. Don't say anything about the political situation lest you hurt the feelings of a county officer who gets his letter? heads printed at your establishment. Don't say a word in your local columns about the merchant or manufacturer who has a standing advertisement in your paper. If he wants you to keep his business before the public, let him pay for it at twenty cents per line. That's business. I^on't neglect patent medicine ad? vertisements. Fill your paper with them at half your published rates; give an agent libe? ral commissions for procuring them, and take your pay in nostrums. This will encourage ready made physicians and fill your columns with "mighty interestin'readin'." Don't fail to publish a long sermon on some doctrinal point every week. This will gratify the man who wrote the sermon. Don't fail to give your readers a full supply of original poetry. It will encourage homo talent and make your paper popular with sentimental young ladies, noted for well ventilated hosiery and a charm? ing ignorance of housework. Don't be partic? ular about issuing your paper on the regular publication ;day. Give your readers a chance to exercise that greatest of all Christian vir? tues, patience. Don't spend too much time in reading proof. Let your paper, like your life, be full of errors. Don't fail to take sides in every personal quarrel that occurs in your town. If Smith wants you to pitch into Brown, do it. Brown may give you a good flogging for your impudence, bnt you will have the sympathy of Smith while your wounds are healing. Don't neglect an opportunity to make your paper highly sensational. If you hear a "damnable rumor," publish it. If it be true you will gain credit for fearless journalism. If false, you have simply blasted some one's good name, and committed one of the "indiscretions" of the nineteenth century. Don't reject an arti? cle because it borders on the obscene. The roughs will indorse it and give you credit for wit. In short, publish a paper in the interest of the street corner loafers, hotel bummers and blear-eyed politicians, and you will win the lasting gratitude of your successor, the sheriff. A Romantic Story.?The schooner Flor inda, Capt. Kenmine, sailed from New Orleans in 1849, for San Francisco, taking a number of passengers who had been seized with the gold fever, and touched at Port Praya and Rio Janeiro, which port she left in the latter part of the year. A vessel calling at Rio shortly af? ter reported speaking the Florinda in the Pa? cific, just beyond Cape Horn, but nothing more was ever heard of her. The New Orleans Picayune says that a short time ago a friend of the wife of one of the passengers of the schooner read in an English paper that a Brit? ish naval vessel, driven out of her course, sighted an unknown island in the lower Pa? cific, and found upon it several persons, who said they were the Florinda party, who had been wrecked on the island and had been there ever since?more than twenty-five years ago. The names given were those of the Florinda's crew, and in other ways the identity of the party is said to have been established. It is further stated that the offer to take them off was declined, on the ground that as they had been lost so long they preferred ending their days there. Further inquiries are on foot to eseablish the truthfulness of the account. ? No doubt the world owes us all a iiviug, but it is awful slow in paying its debt. ?
