Ttae Burin! of Our Dead. BT COL. o'UABRA, OF KENTUCKY. Thc muffled drum's sad roll has beat The soldier's last tattoo; No more, on life's parade, shall meet Tho brave and daring few. On farm".- eternal camping-ground Their silent tents are spread, And glory guards with solemn round The bivouac of the dead. No answer of the foe's advance Now swells upon the wind; No troubled thought, at midnight, baulds Of loved ones left behind: No vision of the morrow's strife The warrior's dream alarms No braying born nor screaming fife, At dawn, shall call to arms. Their shivered swords are red with rust. Their plumed heads arc bowed, Their haughty banners trailed in dust, Is now their martial shroud. And" plenteous funeral tears have washed Their red stains from each brow. And their proud forms, in battle gushed, Are free from anguish now. The neighing steed, the Hashing blade. The trumpet's stirring blast - Tiie charge, the dreadful cannonade, The din and shout are past ; No war's wild note, nor glory's peal, Shall thrill, with tierce delight. Those breasts that never more shall feel Thc rapture of thc fight. Like the dread Northern hurricane, That sweeps his broad plateau. Flushed with tho triumph yet to gain. Came down the serried foe. Our heroes felt tho shock, and.lcapt To meet them on tho plain: * And long tho pitying sky hath wept Above our gallant slain. Sons of our consecrated ground, Ye must not slumber there; "Where stranger steps and tongues resound Along fcho heedless air; Toar own proud land's heroic soil Shall bc your fitter grave; She claims from war his richest spoil, The ashes of her brave! So 'neath their parent turf they rest, Far Jrom thc gory field! Borne to a Spartan mother's breast, On many a bloody shield; The sunshine of their native sky Smiles sadly on them here, And kindred hearts and eyes watch by The hero's sepulchre. Best on, embalmed and sainted dead! Dear as the bloody grave; No impious footsteps here shall tread The herbage of your grave; Nor shall your glory bc forgot, While fame her record keeps, Or honor points tho hallowed spot Where valor proudly sleeps. Yon marble minstrel's voiceless tone, In deathless songs, shall tell. When many a vanished age hath tlown. The story how ye fell; Nor wreck, nor change, nor winter's blight, Nor time's remorseless doom, Shall dim ono ray of holy light That gilds your glorious tomb. A Calculating Bridegroom. I've known some very mean men in my time. There was Deacon Over? reach; now he was so mean be always carried a ben in bis gig-box when be traveled, to pick up the oats his horse ?wasted in the manger, and lay an egg for his breakfast in thc morning. And then there was Hugo Himmel man, who made bis wife dig potatoes to pay for the marriage license. I must tell you that story of Hugo, for it is not a bad one, and good stories, like potatoes, ain't as plenty as they nsed to be when I was a boy. Hugo is a neighbor of mine, though consi? derably older than I be. and a mean neighbor he is, too. Well, when he was goiug to get married to Gretchen Kulp, he goes down to Parson Ro? gers, at Dinghy, fco get a license. "Parson," sai,, he, "what's the price of a license?" "Six dollars," said he. "Six.dollars!" said Hugo. "That isa dreadful sight of money; couldn't you take less?" "No," said he; "that's what they cost me at the Secretary's office, at Halifax." "Well, how much do you ax for publishing in church, then?" "Nothing," said the Parson. "Well," said Hugo, "that's so cheap I can't expect to get any cb auge back. I tbink I'll be pubhsbed. How long does it take?" "Three Sundays." "Three Sundays!" said Hugo; "well, ?bat's a long time, too. Eut three Sundays only make a fortnight, after all; two for the covers and ono for the inside like; and six dollars is a great amount of money for a poor man to throw away." So off he went, a jogging toward home, feeling about as mean as a new sheared sheep, when all at once a bright thought came into his head, and back he went as fast as his horse conld carry him." "Parson," said he, "I've changed my mind. Here's the six dollars; I'll tie the knot to night with my tongue that I cannot untie with my teeth." "Why, what in natur' is the mean? ing of all this?" "Why," said Hugo, "I have been .u cyp????io it out in my head, and its cheaper than publishing after all. You see, sir, it's potato diggin times; if I wait to bo called in church, her ! father will have ber work for nothing; ! and as hands are scarce and wages j big, if I marry her to-night, she eau I begin to dig our own to-morrow, and ! that will pay for the license, and just t seven shillings over; for there ain't a man in all Clements that can dig and carry as many bushels in a day as Gretchen can. And, besides, fresh wives, like fresh servants, work like smoke at first, but they get saucy and lazy after a while." Some newspaper reporter in Chicago will get bis hair pnlled if he don't mind. He talks this way: If there are prettier women than blondes, they are brunettes. Cleo? patra was a brunette. Rachel was a brunette-and so is Miss L. If one wants a flirt take a brunette; if one wants a cook, take a blonde-she has no inspirations, but she is reliable; if one wants a wife, take neither. ADVICE TO MABBIAOEABLE Grans. Punch's Pocket-Book contains the fol? lowing from thc pen of a "single woman of thc world:" "If a mau wipes his feet on the door mat before coming into the room, you may bc j suro ho will make a good domestic j husband. If a man, in snuffing thc candles, puts them out, you may bo sure he will make a stupid husband, j If a man puts Iiis handkerchief on I his knees while taking his toa, you j may bo sure bc will bc a prudent hus- i band. In tho same way, always mis- j trust tho man who "will not hike the last piece of toast, but prefers wait- j iug for the next warm batch; it is | not unlikely ho will make a greedy, selfish husband, with whom you will enjoy no 'brown" at dinner, no crust at tea, no peace whatever at home. Tho man, my dears, win? wears go? loshes, and is careful about wrapping himself up before venturing into tho night air, not unfrequently makes a good invalid husband, that mostly stops at homo, and is easily comfort? ed with slops. Thc man who watches thc kettle, and prevents its boiling over, will not fail, my dears, in his married state, in exorcising tl Rame care in always keeping the pot ...oil? ing. Thc man who doesn't take tea, ill-treats tho cat, takes snuff, and stands with his back to the fire, is a brute whom I would not advise you, my dears, to marry upon any consi? deration, either for Jove or money ; but most decidedly not for love. But thc man who, when tea is over, is discovered to have had none, is sure to mako the best husband. Patience like bis deserves being rewarded with the best of wives and thc best of mothers-in-law. My dears, when you meet with such a man, do your ut? most to marry him. In thc severest winter, he would not mind going to bed first." SOUTHEBN VAXIOB.-Mr. Hepworth Dixon, editor of thc London Athencr um, has just published a work enti? tled "Now America." He takes thc "Union" side of the late war, but thc splendid gallantry of our brave Con? federates extorts from him thc fol? lowing fine tribute: "Even with their mistaken cause, their retrograde policy, their sepa? ratist banner, what a fight they made! Men who can perish gloriously for their faith-however false that faith may be-will always seize tho ima? gination, hold thc affections of a gal? lant race. Fighting for a weak and failing cause, these planters of Vir? ginia, of Alabama, of Mississippi, rode into battle as they would have hurried to a feast; and many a man who wished them no profit in their raid and fray, could not boin riding, as it were, in linc with their foaming front, dashing with them into action, following their fiery course with a flashing eye and a bounding pulse. Courage is electric. You caught the light from Jackson's sword; you flushed and panted after Stuart's plume. Their sin was not more striking than their valor. Loyal to their false gods, to their obsolete creeds, they proved their personal honor by their deeds; these lords of every luxury under heaven, striving with hunger and with disease, and laying down their luxurious lives in ditch and breach. All round those walls, in sandy rifts, under forest leaves, and by lonely pools, lie the bones of young men, of old men, who were once the pride, the strength of a thousand happy Anglo Saxon homes. Would that their sin could be covered up in a little sand!" BADLY CUT Ur.-A man wounded in the abdomen in a fracas, and a learned disciple of Escnlapius was sent for, who, after looking at the patient, delivered himself as follows: Bad case; incised cut tho perineum mcmbranus-through thc umbilicus misirotany to the linerabum. Thc viscue and sigmuni are incised, and the duleric orafice of the hepathic ductus is lacerated to the anterior spinus of the attachment of the fifth rib. A friend of the sufferer rushed out for air, and, being asked "How was Sam?" replied, "Ah, poor fellow, there is no chance for him; the doc? tor says all the Latin parts of his bowels are destroyed and he must die." "Mike, an' is it yourself that will bo after tellin' me how they make ice creams?" "In troth I can; don't they bake thom in cold ovens, to bc sure!" There are G56 baronets in England. DENTISTRY.

THEODORE STARK, ?favor. J. H. MCMAHON. City Clerk. The Great American Blood Purifier. THE QUEEN'S I1LH?IT ! mnE QUEEN'S DELIGHT, thc great J_ American Alterative and Blood I'uri- > 1 lieT, is the most perfect vegetable com I pound <>f alteratives, totnes, diuretics and diaphoretics; making it the most effective ; invigorating, rejuvenating and blood ? cleatising cordial known to the world. In introducing this new and extraordi ! nary medicine to the public, observation I leads us to remark that, too little attcul ion is paid te) the "life of all flesh," the blood. .Many diseases, and, too,many complaints, I which have their origin in a vitiated state of thc blood, are* treated only as symptoms 1 and results: whe reas, if tin- remedy had j been applied to enrich the- bloeid and ren? der it pure, both cause and effect would I have been removed. The Queen's Delight I is offered te) the afflicted as a sure remedy for those diseases arising from au impure condition of the bloeid. It has a ebrcct : and specific action upon that fluid, and j conscepiently rende rs thc bloexl pure. It : is said, on high authority, that "man no sooner begins te) live than he begins to die, and that thc characteristics of the j liviug e)rganism aro ecasedess chango and I ceaseless waste." It is obvious, therefore, I to everj- reflecting mind, that unless the I blooil is pure, in supplying the waste tis? sues with material, it must bc the cause of I innumerable ills ami constitutional disor I dcrs, such as Scred'ula, Rheumatism, He? patic Dieortlcrs, Consumption, Inflamma I tions, Fevers, Ac. Life and health is only i to be maintaiueel by thc circulatiou of pure I arterial blood. J We therefore advise evciy one whose j blood is in the h ast vitiated by indulgence I e>r excess, ami whose cemstitutioii is im ' paired by disease and is suffering fre>m Rheumatism, Liver Complaint, Consump? tion, Scrofula or King's Evil, Carbuncles, Redls, Itching Humor of the Skin, Erysi? pelas, Skin Diseases, Tetter, Roughness of tho Skin, Pimples, Blotches, Pains in the Bones, old Ulcers, Syphilis and Syphilictic Sores, Indigestion, Inflammation of thc Bladder and Kidneys, Pains in the Rack, General Debility, ami for all complaints arising from deficiency ami poverty of blood, to use the Queen's Delight. Females of delicate constitution, suffer? ing from weakness anel depression e>t mind in consequence of those complaints which nature imposes at the porioel of change', have a pleasant and sure remedy in the Queen's Delight. Children whose fair and ruddy complex? ion gave early promise; of health and beauty, but too soon become blanched and pale by some hereditary taint of the blood, will have the rich boon restored by using the- Queen's Delight. The unacclimated and persons travelling into warm countries will timi the Queen's Delight a great protection from all malari? ous affection anel diseases which originate in a change of climate, diet and life. Tho extraordinary anel unprecedented cures performed by the Queen's Delight Compound is attracting the attention of every one, not only at home, but abroad. The merits of this compound are being felt and appreciated everywhere. Hear what they say ed' it in New York: "It is a remedy of much importance ami value, exerting an influence over all thc secre? tions, which is unsurpassed by any other known alterative. It is extensively used in all the various forms of primary and seconelary syphilitic affections; also, in scrofulous, hepatic anel cutaneous eliscases, in which its use is followed by the most successful results." I Its properties as a remedy were; first in? troduced te> thc ne)tice of the profession bj' Dr. Thos. Young Simons, of South Carolina, as early as 182S, as a valuable alterative re? medy in syphilitic affections, and others re? quiring use of mercury. Dr. Simons' state? ments have bce;ii endorsed and extended by Dr. A. Lopez, of Mobile, and Dr. H. R. Frost, of Charleston. From thc reports in its favor, there seems no reason to doubt the efficacy e>f this medicine in Secondary Syphilis, Scrofula, Cutaneous Diseases, Chronic He patic Affections and other com- j plaints benefited by alterative medicines. | For sale wholesale and retail bv I FISHER & HEIN?TSH, !
