For the Gazette,
M y Early Home.
BY 5. uxcnnn.
To that place of all others my mem’ries cling,
There flowers are fairest and gayest birds sing,
There the trees and the cliffs have each one a
tongue
That speak of the past when youthful shouts
rung; . I ’

There the lurk soars highest. in M“I'l!l.l flight
And gentlest of zephyrs sigh pensive at night,
While empyrenl fires light natures great dome,
O'cr the place of my birth, my earliest home.

How fondly does memory present to our view,

The bill and the meadow where wild berries
grew;

The stream on whose banks I oft carelessly
strayed

And watched the bright trout as they sportin-
ly played,

Nor thought that the biped who watched with
such care,

Was striving their freedom and life to ensnare ;

Such pleasures are past, no longer I roam

Round the place of my birth, my earliest home.

Our old village church with its towering spire
Its curious arrangement and wonderful choir,
Its old fashioned pews and minister’s seat,

Its cupola top crowned with tare: amid wheat;
Often I wondered at this simple device,

For the laymen were farmers and knew in a

tricc .

That this was most natural to all kinds of loam
Near the place of my birth, my earliest home.

The store of our village where neighbors talked
o‘er

Affairs of the nation with —- on the floor,
And often we heard him in lawyer like tone
Express his opinion on what had been done,
While rustics stood gazing in wonder around
Astonished to hear that our laws were unsound,
The world was deceitful, all bubbles and fonm,

’ But the place of my birth, my earliest home,

The times are now changed, old customs have
flown,

The boys become men and new systems have
grown;

And when I re-visit the place of my youth,

The spirit of progress, I find has, forsooth,

Remodeled the church into fashionable style, _

Removed the symbol and broad center aisle,

And the emblem of Yankees takes travelers
who roam

Through the place of my birth, my earliest home.

Vile Met to Part Forever.
’ BY mes JULIA PLEASANTS.
"‘We’"mct—~’twas when her silver chain
The midnight moon was weaving
Across a. darkly rolling plain
Of waters wildly heaving-
Our hearts were not more still and calm
Than was that roaring river,
For we had sung life-‘s morning psttlm,
And mct—to part forever.

There waved n beautcous forest sea.
Beneath the moon’si1luming,

But sorrow, in our sandal-tree
IIer are had been perfuming;

, And sadly gazed we on the grove

Which girt the foaming river,

And moaned to think, with all our love,
We met to part forever.

The nightingale flung on the breeze
Hcr richest vocnl treasure,

But grief, on life’s low minor keys,
Ilad struck a mournful measure ;

And coldly fell the night-bird’s song,
We could but weep and shiver

To think our broken hearts were strong,
To meet and part forevgr.

The dew fell on the blooming vines
Our sylvan bower that shaded,
But in our spirit’s shattered shrines
The rose of love was faded.
Youth’s golden dew, which bathed it erst,
Again would bathe it never, '
- And only blinding tear-drops burst
-To meet and part forever.

The archer stars sat on the sky,
Their silver arrows glancing
Against each wave that shouted by,
To occnn’s waste advancing ; '
_ ‘But we had‘ felt the poisoned darts ‘
From gricf’s cxhaustless quiver,
They rankled in the writhing hearts
That met to part forever.

’Tis many a year since then we met,
And sorrows have I numbered,
But bittcrcr brine hath never yet
My faded cheek encumbered ;
And memory, like a guilty sprite,
Still haunts that lonely river,
Where, in the moon's unclouded light,
_ We met to part forever.

A Remarkable Case of Petvtficafion.
—-About four years ago, says the Wheel-
ing Intelligencer, the wife of a gentle-
man living in Nelson C0,, Va., died, and
was interred in the usual manner. Be-
ing a native of Woodford county, Ky.,
she had requested, before her death, to be
buried beside her kindred, and in the
home of of her childhood. From acci-
dent or ‘delay, her reqpest was not com-
plied with until quite recently, when up-
on disimerring hex. remains,‘ they were
found to'be ofthe extraordinary weight « f
650 pouridsf Only the foot of the coffin,
which was still in a good state ofpreserva-
tion, was broken open, when her feet were
found to be in.a perfect ‘state of petrifica-
tion, the stone partaking of the character
of the hardest limestone formations in the
locality of the grave. There is no doubt
that the whole body is thus petrified.

 

;]§= The heart of a flirt settles no
more tenaciously on a gentleman's affec-
tions than a button does on one of his
shirts, for in fact, it is no sooner on than

it flies off again.

BY JOHN JONES, JR.

 

% My good wife, Mrs. John Jones Jr.,'
being, in some respects, a woman of the
old school, is rather slow in adopting new
thinga; and rarely abandons her favorite_
customs or opinions, unless convinced by
some living and painful experience that
they are wrong. When the great tem-
perance reformation began to extend it-
self in society, Mrs. Jones wasrather in-
dignant at a neighbor for suggesting that
she was wrong in taking a little toddy
now and then, and in setting out the de-
canter to visitors. But some. things she
saw and felt, satisfied her on the subject
so entirely that she not only ndbp:ed' the
good practice of drinking water herself,
but gave the same pure beverage’, to her
visitors when they were dry.

But, there were two or three ‘matter.-
in which Mrs. Jones was indispoaed‘t_o'go
withwhat she called the ultra temperance‘
people. She would put brandy ’ in her
mince pies, and wine in her pudding dance
and in spite of the frowns of some’ neigh-
bors, and the ‘remoustrances of _‘other€,
would put up a few jars of brandied pea-‘l
ches every season. ‘As for me, I thought‘
with my wife on these subjects; or, if
the truth were more correctly ' stated,’
didn't’ think at an about them; Tough.’
ing her mince pics, I always considered
them better made and better ‘flavored
than any I happened to meet‘ with from’
home; and if it required the brandy to’
obtain just this’ flavor ’jt_.h‘éy’_ p’osses_sed‘,'
why, I was for the brandy-—’that tvas’
all. Not having been initiated to the“,
art and mystery appertaining to, the pro-'
vince of a pastry cook, Iwas not so pre-
sumptuous as to say: i i M h L

-' Don't you think, Mrs. "Jones, that a_.,
little more brandy, _a little lcss,_o1 none’
at all, would improve _your picslff’ , I .

Oh. no,-_I was not so prcsnmptuo11s’as.
that! What did know 'about,.mincc_.
pies beyond the pleasure of <a_:1_ti‘iigJt_hte’rn_'!«
And as for the pudding sauce. I couldn’t

imagine the existenceiof the article, on-
less dashed with the__flavor of _.-wi.nf‘.. ,A

, lady, in arguing the matter with Mrs.

Jones. in my presence, said a little_ vine.
gar improved pudding sauce very much-
and gave a more agreeable flavor than
wine. The lady while saying this, turn-
ed and looked towards me. She stopped
suddenly. I don’t know why, unless the
vinegar aspect of my face curdled her
feelings. The fact is, the idea of vine-
gut in my pudding was so shockingthat
I felt sour all over, and no doubt I look-
ed as I felt.;

But the substitution of vinegar for
wine has never been made in our domes.
tic economy. We must give up the
wine, but I hardly think we would stand
the vinegar.

. Last year, as every ‘one knows, peach-
es were as plenty as bl,ackberries——(I
speak metaphorically,) They were.to
be had at from three to ten centstihe half-
peck; and any quantity for a.dollar.-
From morning till night, you heardplittle
else but.‘I’eachea, Oh! Here they go!’
until the very sight of the-fruit took away
your appetite. People declined them.
when offered with the refreshments. at
parties, because they were." too chenp;’t’
and they became a drug—speakiug un-
medicinally-as an article for the desert.

' Send me home a couple of gallons of
white brandy,’ said Mrs‘ Jones’, oncday,
during the time ‘of this abundnncé. 

«Very well,‘matm,' I re”plied,"asih’d

‘ Be sure that it is the‘ very bést,"";td‘-

Her brandied peaches were not so very

‘I didn't think about the cost of the

its no harm to have enough of them.’

And so ‘the subject was dismissed from

. -My;wife had a beautiful cousin resi-

‘No, I thank you!’ he replied.

‘Yes, do take» some. They are very
fine, urged Mrs. Jones. .

- ‘You'll have to try my wife's brandied
peaches,’ I spoke up. I can testify as to
their quality.’

‘Do try some, Mark,’ said the young
bride, in a coaxing voice, turning her
eye upon her husband as she spoke.

‘I can take no denial.’ And as my
wife said this, she handed Wilder the
peaches, and he took them.

‘I declare you havn’t touched those

cia_lly,j "I noticed a change in the young

‘How '2’ I inquired. , _

‘He has been so quiet, and gentleman-
ly._ But to-night, he was noisy, and, at
times, almost Trude.” ' , in , '

‘He seemed to be in" very golodispirits.’

‘Too good spirits I should say.’

‘He felt acquainted, perhaps, and act-
ed himself out more fully.’

3N0, I don’t believe it was that,’ said
my wife. ‘I don’t believe it was that.’

‘Vvhat was it then ?’

' ',‘I’m afraid he's been drinking.’

;. ‘Oh,no!' " 
‘I’m sure of it. I'm never deceived.
‘Perhaps he met a friend, and took a

social glass with him.’ _

‘He's taken more than one glass you
may depend ‘upon it. I really felt sorry
about it. I thought Marin looked sober.’

‘I didn't observe anything different in
her,’ said I. ‘She's never very gay you"
know.’

But Mrs Jones would insist upon it
that Wilder had been a drinking, and
that Maria looked troubled. '

On the next morning they appeared at
breakfast time, looking as happy as usual
The meal was a hurried one_ as they
were to leave for New York inthe mor-
ning line, and passed with but little con-
versation. ’ _

‘Oh !’ said Wilder, as he stood with
his cloak on his arm, waiting for the
trunks to be strapped on the carriage
that was to convey them to the boat-—
‘You mus’nt forget that jar of brandied
peaches.’., ’ '

‘You shall have them,’ replied Mrs.
Jones, laughing.’ They’ll go on by ex-
pr_e_s,s to-morrow.’ . i 

_ ‘That’s right. I don’t think I could
enjoy my desert, now, without a brandi-
<.=«1.x=.*-s.<.i.*it.’ - . . . . .

‘What will you do when they ..are
gone ‘I’ asked Maria, looking archly into
his face. . A

‘Do without, I suppose, unless we can
find a supply in New York.

The driver announced the carriage as
ready. Hurried faretvqlls succeeded,
and in a few minntesvwe were alone‘.-,-

‘I like him very much,’ said . 
Jones, as we turned back into the house.
‘Mnrig has certainly done very well.’-

‘So do I. He seems to be 3 young
man of intelligence and good principle,
and from what he said, I should judge
that he was doing an excellent business.
They certainly have my most ardent
wishes for prosperity and happiness.’

‘And mine also,’ returned my wife ear.
nestly. ‘Maria is a dear child, I always
loved her. If I could strew her path
through life with flowers, perfume and
beauty would greet her at every step.’-

On the next morning the jar of bran-
died peaches were sent on, as promised,
by express. Weeks elapsed without
learning anything of the young couple,
though scarcely a day passed that we did
not speak of them. ' -

About this time business took me to
New York. On the day of my arrival_I
sent a note to Maria, telling her that I
would see her in the evening. I called
at eight o’clock, and after being shown
into an elegantly furnished parlor, await-
ed her appearance for nearly five minutes
I was beginning to wonder at her delay,
when the door opened and she came in.
Oh, how a few weeks had changad_-her!

“He staid with us while in Philadel-

either wine or brandy.’ As I uttered
this, a thought of my wife's brandied
peaches flashed through my mind.

I had few more questions to ask, for I
comprehended all too clearly. How bad-
ly I felt maybe imagined. It was about
11 o'clock in the day, and presuming I
would find VVilder at his store, I went
there forthwith. He;sat reading as I en-
tered. On looking up from his newspa.
per, he did-not recognize me. But when
I mentioned my name, he started to his
feet quickly, and grasped my hand, while
a flush passed over his face.
