WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 6,1867; SOMEBODY'S DARLING. The following exquisite little poem was wrif.ir-* by Miss Marie Laco.-.tc, of Savannah, Ga., anc. origi? nally published, wo think, by tho Southern Church? man. It will commend itaolf by its touching pathos to all readers: In to a ward of tho white-washed walls. Where tho dead and tho dying lay Wounded by bayonet.-;, Bhells and balls Somebody's dar lin . was borne one day. Somebody's darling 1 So y onus and so braye. Wearing still on ois pule, sweet face. Soon to be hid by the dust of tho crave, The lingering light of Iiis boyhood's grace. Hatted and damp are tho curls ot gold Kissing tho snow of thc fair young brow, Ptde are the Ups of delicate mould Somebody's darling is dying now. Back from tho beautiful, blue veined face Brush every wandering silken thread, Gross MB honda as a sign of grace Somebody's darling is still and dead. Kiss bim once for somebody's sake, Murmur a prayer soft and low, One bright curl from tho cluster take They wc-ro somebody's pride, you know. Somebody'a hands had rested thure; Was it a mother's Rott and white ? And have tho lips of a sister fair Been baptized in chose waves of light ? God knows beat. He was somobody 'B love ; Somebody's hecrt enshrined him there, Somobody wafted bis nomo above, Night and morn, on tho wings of prayer. Somebody wept when he marched away, Looking so handsome, bravo, and grand; Somebody's kiss on his forehead ky: Somebody clung to his parting hand. Somebody's watching and waiting for bim, yearning to hold vim again to her heart; There he lies-witu the blue eyes dim, And the smiling, child-like lips apart. Tenderly bury the fair young dead. Pausing to drop on his gravo a tear; Corvo on the wooden slab at his head '.Somebody's darling lies buried here !" North Carolina Iteras. WILLIAM T. BAIN.-Few names are better and more favorably known in North Carolina than that of Wm. T. Bain, Grand Secretary of tho Grand Lodge of North Carolina. In the Lodges of the State his . name is a houaohold word, and his memory will be sweet. This venerable servant of God and good citizen, after several years of weakness and disease, was gathered to his fathers last night. January SI, afc the residence of bis son, Mr. D. W.

' 'ANOTHER INTEHNAL TJEPBOVEMENT SCHEME.-A gentleman- of this city goes to Raleigh to-day to endeavor to obtain a charter from the Legislature for-the building of a canal from Stokes* Ferry, on the YatU?n River, to Prosperity, on Deep River, in . Moore county. This scheme does sot ask any ap? propriation, aa the capital necessary to its comple? tion, it is thought, can be raised by private sub? scription. The effects of this scheme, if success? ful, will be to. make Deep and Cape Fear Rivers, by the introduction of a volume of water from the r? Yadkin, and the removal of obstructions in those Streams, navigable from-Prosperity to Wilming? ton; to. open a canal for steamboat navigation from Prosperity to Stokes* Ferry, at which point to Wilkes Wo' the Yadkin is said to be navi? gable. If this scheme is feasible there is no doubt of the b?n?ficiai influence which it would exert on the prosperity of Wilmington, Fay? etteville, and the other places ana disthots through which' it would pass. Whether it is feasi? ble, we are not prepared to advance an opinrun now, but we shan examine ..the subject carefully and give our readers, 'at some other time, the ben i eflt "of our investigations. . . WUmington Dispatch, 23d ult. .; The Extreme Penalty of the Law. [From the. Mibilc Register.] * ? rather rapid young gentleman, 'often seen up? on the streets of Mobile, whom we shall call Smith, chiefly because it is not his name, went up to West Tennessee to spend the Christmas holidays with a young lady he raed to sit up with before the war, and. whom he would have married but for an intor .DOB?tion of Providence iu the shape of an unwilling parent, who. wantui to blow him up with a horse piBtol to prevent tho wedding. Smith returned to tho ci tv'a few days ago, and was amusing himself and seme of his friends yesterday by telling a very pretty story of a way the West Tennesseeans have o? punishing cotton thieves when they happen to catch them.. ' - ?i " Smith states that whOo -travelling through the most wild and barren of the Tonnessee counties bordering on the State of Mississippi, he stopped to spend the night with an old gent o-.ian in whose lot were piled some six or eight bales of cotton. Knowing by what an uncertain tenure the staple is held by its-owners further South, when they find* it necessary to leave it out at hight without a guard, Smith said to his host, after supper: "Ieee you've got a fine lot of cotton out yonder, Mr. Grimes; ain't you afraid somebody'll come . along, ono of th ese nights and steal it ?" ."Uli, no," said Mr- Grimes; "cotton stealing is a sort o' dangerous, business round' here now, and " amt afraid nobody's gwine to steal mine." Before sunrise the next, morning Smith was wakened/from a sound sleep j by some of tho heaviest swearing he had heard since the mule "tromped onto" Captain Brown's toes at Corinth, just before the . battle of Shiloh. Smith got up and went to the window and looked out. Ola man Grimes, bare-headed and in his shirtsleeves, was standing on Ins pile of cotton bales in the lot, and pouring out a whirlwind of oaths that fairly "Shook the soar leaves from tho wood As tfa stem passai Ly;'? . Smith, who is a fine, practical mathematician, estimates that Mr. Grimes uttered, in two minutes and a half, a sufficient quantity of d-ns and other imprecations to'sink a nat boat. Smith threw him? self into bis clothes, and went but into the lot to ascertain the causo of the row. It was about 'fif? teen rninutes before the old maa could cool down sufficiently to explain' the why and the wherefore of his wonderful, profanity.. But he finally,- man . aged to do iL* r ' ;./:'.. j u- . go fe^Wil^ i. Somebody had 'comb during the night and car? ried off two bales of-his cotton. - ' ;. s ." immediately aftW;hrealrfa8t, Mr. Grimes, and his son, a slab-sided,' long-legged young man abop.f "eighteen years of age/ and ono or their ? neighbors who had been sihnmone^ for the chase, mounted their horses and eta rtod in pursuit of the stealer of the cotton. Having nothing else LO do, Brnith de termined to' etay where he was and learn the result of tho chase. ' The weather was cold; but Mrs. Grimes had a good fire, and seating him? self in the corner, Smith spent the day delightfully in talking to the old lady about the -war, and in reading a copy of tho Patent Office Report for ?8-0. i A little after sandown Mr.. Grimes and his sou returned, the former driving a two horse wagon, on which were piled a couple of bales of cotton. Smith walked out to the. gate. "And you got. your cotton, did you, Mr. Grimes?" said Smith, interrogatively. ! ' "Yes, I got it." "And did yon get the fellow that stole it ?" "Yes^Igothira." - "Where in he?* ?He's hack yonder." "Where?" "He's back yonder a piece.", '3s that his wagon Tr. 'T'sbose ^shisn-it ain't mine." All this.time the old man was engaged in unhar? nessing the horses, and having taken them from the wagon, he led them toward the stable. Smith saw that but little information -was to be had in that quarter, and turned to young alabsides, who dat with bissett leg thrown across the nock of his horse and biting the end of a switch. "Andyou-really caught the fellow, did you?" .aid Smith to young Grimes. - "You bet," answered that gentleman. '.Then, where is he?" '-'Why, jest as daddy told you-he's back - mder %pi?cej' Cutback where?" "Why, back yonder in the woods where me and daddy and Jim Nicks histed him to a limb." ' uWhai ! you dorft mean to tell nie you actually ?unohimr i?Q? course, we hung him. You don't take me and daddy , and Jun for a passel of ^- fools, do "ROU?" . ... ' j- "Good heavens 1" exekimed Smith with unaffect? ed horror depicted in every foaturo of his faeq "is there no law m this country ?" '"Law I why, there's lots of the b?8fc80I.t0flaw, in this country. Wo kotch the fellow with the cot? ton, and we tuck him out into, the woods and ' BWfmg him higher nor a kij?e;-Td liko to kno? what the-you'd want with anv botter lax than that!" h " : ; ' ' Smith didn't think ? safe to enjoy longer thc hospitality or tho amubleMr. Grimes, an?or?cA ingbis.horse, rode on to the next house, where ho spent tho. night, determined to mak? a vezy early alert in th?"; morning for a section of - country wBere they had a different sort of laws, if not bet? ter ones. Accordingly, immediatelv after break- ,. -, fast he began a rapid retreat Eputfcward. He had&fe gone about two miles whsn young Grimes came galk>ping up behind him. Smith's hair stood on end. He at once determined to sell his lifo at the highest price it wo^d-bring; but then, remem? bering that no had n^, arms, ho thought he had better take his life.oat.of danger, and was in the act of butting spurs" tb his horse whon young Grimes dashed un beside him. "Hello, Mi?tfer'!* is thatj'ou? You ain't skeered, J. hope, Ithpnght you was gwine to run.* * ^Scared?" certainly.not," paid Smith, with white Kofl and chattering teeth. "What is there to scare ^'Nothing that I know of? I was gwine down tho road a piece, and saw jon on ahead of me, and I thought I'd catch up and a?k you if you didn't |j want to ride out here into the woo'ds and see ] that feller-that me and daddy and Jim sent up the ?. spout." iiy this time Smith had gotten pre itv well over his scare, and seeing that Grimes, like himself, was uuanned, concluded to co and see if the ^Teller" really had been bango ). They had gone-j of a.bout"thrce hundred yards ?ora the road whe?? iii Grimes reined up his horse. "Yonder he is," said wi he. Smith looked in the direction indicated, and te: M thero, dangling from tho limb of a tall tree, with lega about three yards from ibo ground, was the uMortunato man"who had loved cotton not wisely but too well. "Do you know who he was ?? asked Smith, sol? emnly. ''No, I don't; bnt I guess he was nothing but ono of these hore-rebols, and his mammy ought to bo shot for not banging him when ho was a baby." Smith was once a ''rebol" himself, haviug gal? lantly drawn his pay as quartermaster's clerk in defence of his country, and this remark of young Grimes added very little to tho comfort o? his feel? ings. Hf ventured to ask : "Aro thoro many rob?is about hero?" "No," said Grimes, "there ain't many now ; we'vo got 'om pretty well tiunned out in thia neigh? borhood." Smith drove his spurs into the flanks of his horse, and dashed ofi through tho woods as if the very dickens had boon at his heels. "Hold en ! I'm gwine your way," was the last ho heard af young Grimes or any of his family. IxrimESTiKQ RELICS.-TWO objects of sonsiderar ble interest aro preserved at the rooms of the Ame? rican Tract Society, corner of Nassau and Sprucit streets, New York. The Evening Gaa?tto describe? them as follows : In the office of Rev. Mr. Eastman may bo seen the field pulpit of George Whitfield, which he used to double up and take about with him in his wagon. It is a slight frame-work, with a floor to stand upon, raised about three feet from tho ground, with a railing some three feet high. It is just large enough for a man to stand up in, but ht/ would have to preach with less gesticulation thoa many of om* modern divines or the whole thing would upset. It is painted a dark red, and so con? structed wi th wrought iron hinges that, liko an Arab's tent, it can be folded np and cairi?l off on a man's back. Sometimes Whitfield preached from this pulpit to ton or fifteen thousand peoplts at once. In twonty-four years ho preached eigh? teen thousand sermons; and not content with thu work in his own land, hs crossod the Atlantic six times, and in all tho great cities of our land, from Boston to Savannah, his voice was hoard Hi? bones now rest iu Now England This pulpit waa brought from Old England some twenty years ago. In Whitfield's pulpit is the chair of the dairy? man's daughter, Elizabeth Wallbridgo, whodiod in tho town of Aneton, Isle of Wight, m 1861. Tho story of tho Dairyman's Daughter, as told by Rev. Leigh Richmond, Bedfordshire, England, has been road by millions of people, so long ago as 18?18, four million copies of tho book having been sold. It has been translated into many languages, and the demand for it cootintfes unabated. Of "no other publication doos the American Tract Society issue uo many copies as this. The chair is, an old fashioned farmer's straight-backed arm. chair of oak and bottomed with twisted chu bark. It is supposed to bo ono hundred years old, and has been in America about twenty-five years. There is a foathor cushion in the chair, but the patch? work cover which used to be over it has disappear? ed. The dairyman's daughter eat in this choir during her last sickness. Sb.'e died of consump? tion. THE BOSTON Advertiser suggests, in tho case of '.?he correspondenc j between .tho young men, AL FBED and JAMES, that condensation would have been much cheaper at the present cable rates. For instance: MB, BENNETT TO EBINCS ALFRED. OFF COWES, December 81,18G6. Tour Royal Highness: I'm going to give you my yacht. My regards to your mother and tho royal familv. * Yours, J. G. BENNETT, Jiu rarNCE ALTBED IO MB. BENNETT. Dear Sir: I must decline with thanks. This es? tablishment does not advortiso in tho New York Herald. ALFRED. . THE HATB.-The ordinary length of the hair of the head in woman varies from iwenty inches to a yrd, in some instances oven longer than tn at, bat, they are of unusual occurrence; its weight from ? five ounces to oight ounces. A cotemporary ro? tates an instance where the hair on the lady's head attained the measurement of two yards in length. But its proper length for texture and stronach should not exceed twenty-four inches, and its value as long hair is much depreciated in price when it falls shorter. It has been calculated by Withof that the beard grows at the rate of a lino and a half per week, which is the length of six and a half inches in the course of a year, while for a man of eighty years ol'age twenty-seven feet would have fallen before the razor. We are informed that the beard of the Burgomaster Hans Steininged was BO long that upon one occasion, having forgotten to fold up the same, he trod upon it ai ho ascended to the council chamber at Brunn, and was th erv by thrown down and killed. And still further we may cite from Ebie that at the Prince's Court at Eidam there is a full length painting of a carpenter whose beard was nine feot long, so that when engaged at work he was obliged to carry it in a bag. In the Industrial Exhibition of 1862 thoro were exhibited specimens of human hair taken from the heads of English, French and Italian ladies, the longest having b en cut from one of our own country? women. It was a lock of jet black hair, and meas? ured soventy-four inches in length.-l%#sAp jper. DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND.-The Freeport (Bl) Journal tells this story of thc just retribution that | befell a faithless "lovyer" : "A trader hore had been for some months court- j ing a young lady hero, bub concluded not to morry her, and k?tely wedded another fair one. La order to secure .imself against the rejected sweetheart who had serious claims upon hun, he transferr.-ed all his property to his business partner, m tho. toll confidence that it would be returned to him 'when? ever he should indicate a desire to that -eQ'ect. Upon learning of the perfidy of her lover, tho dis? carded young woman sought redress, hut in vain it was too late. She, however, succeeded in s? frightening kor betrayer as to lead bim to offer his partner $100.to marry : her. The .partner agreed and th9 ceremony waa performed.'".The lady now Bocuredher revenge. Her old lover, thinking mat? ters now amicably adjusted, intimated that he would like to resume possession of his worldly goods. To his surprise, l?a partner disclaimed all idea of rehnquishing the property, saying he con ?jiderod it a part of tbo.bargain, and was porfootly satisfied- that it should remain where it was. Throats, tears, and entreaties woro in vain? Tho property was fairly and squarely passod, and own ?T No. 2 emphatically refused to surrender. SOMEOFTHEFEPTXS?-It is estimated that not ess than 1600 journeymen mechanics and laboring nen, aU busy, at work and receiving; good wages 'brea months ago, are now out of employ I The tense of all this is the unsettled stataoi thc co un? ary, produced by the madmen in Coogrcse. They assert there shall be nb'union between North and South, until the South will permitnegro suffrage vhich TB not-likely to bo the case wry soon, if jver. This. destroys confidence- among business nen in both'sections. The Northern manufac iurer,will not credit bis' wares to thtftSouth; and he Sbiith, doubtful of its future, will not purchase inythmg beyond its present necessities. North? um capital has stopped going South, "and without t, crops cannot be raisoji-and without crops, the touth cai-not buy of the North. Consequently, Northern manufactories are over-stocked wi?h rares, and workmon aro discharged. With an iones t effort at conciliation by Congress, otu.' diffi lulties might all be settled in a fortrngnt-and in ?ne month every man -would be again steadily, *hjs,work. Congress is responsible for all this. fJVeto Haven Register, j THE PBESIDSNT'S SALAB?.-lt is neb trna, asi onie suppose, that the President of tlua United; 'tates receives but $23,000 a year. The expenses: ?f the White House are paid mostly by the people, ' nd all the recent Pr?sidents have saved largely ut of their twenty-five thousand a yeur. Tho ' Resident has no rent to pay. Congress furnishes lia house for him, even to the snit??est article of : itohen and tablo furniture.

Among the chief points of excellence of tho Chickor ing Pianos, of ?hioh speak tho renowned artists in their cou gratula tory testimoni?is to the Messrs. Chickering, are the greatest possible depth, richness and volume of tone, combined with a rare brilliancy, clearness and perfect evenness througnout the entire scale; and, above all, a surprising duration of sound, the pure-and tym pathetic quality ol which never changes nuder die most delicate or powerful touch.

I consider Chickering ft Sons' PIKUOB, beyond com? parison, the best I have ever seen in America. GOTTSCHALK. I consider Chickering ft Sona' Pianos snpexlor to any in the world, ? They are unrivalled for their singing qnali?es and for the harmonious roundness of their tons, There is a perfect homogeneity throughout ail the registers. The upper notes are remarkable for a olearnass and purity which I do not find in any other instrument, while the base ls distinguished for power without harshness, and for a magnificent sonority. WEELI. Your Pianos are superior to any I have evor Been in this country or in Europe. I have novar beard u tone so perfect; it yields o very expression that ls needed In music, and its quality is capable of change to moot every sentiment. This ls a rare power, anil is derived from the perfect purity of its tone, together with Its sympathetic, elastic and well balanced touch. FOZNA.VSKI.
