A Kiss in a Thunder .Storm.
I rambled out, one Summer day, ! . I
With bailie, loved most dearly,
Who needed but an angel's wings
To be an angel really.
A storm came vj, the rain came down,
And we a tree went under;
Then most terrifie rrew the storm,
; And loudly roared the thunder.
At length there came a stunning peal,
And then a flash of lightning,
, With terror's for a maiden's heart,
3Iy fair companion f'rightuing.
Iler eyes $he closed, her lips kissed;
She did not seem to wonder,
Because, no doubt, the smack was not
As noisy as the thunder.
The storm rolled by the years rolled on,
And Sallie dear 1 married,
And oft we speak of that wild storm,
Wheu 'neath a tree we tarried;
And of the storms of life which ne'er
Shall rend our hearts r.sunder,
Jsor drown the memory of that kbs,
When Sallie feared the thunder.
To Tower Hall I will not make,
To-day, the least allusion ;
The girf I kissed controls my thoughts
While penning thin effusion;
But in my nxt, (look out FOR that,)
I'll make my readers wonder,
By facts in 1-nosE, which o'er the world
Shall ring in tones of thunder.

The Key of the Heart.
A hardened Scottish soldier lay on his hos
pital bed, and refused stubbornly to listen to a
word of spiritual counsel from the good minister
who visited him. He ' knew how to die without
the aid of a priest," he said. The most affec
tionate entreaty seemed lost upon him, and he
turned his face to the wall, determined to close
the interview.
The minister sat down by his bed, and began
to sing a hymn well known in Scotland; "O mo
ther dear, Jerusalem, when shall I come to thee?"
In a lew moments the man turned himself
upon his pillow, the hard look all gone, and the
eye wet with a tear.
'Who taught you that?" he asked.
'My mother," said the minister.
"And so did mine," he replied; and with
these memories sorging back into his soul, he
was ready and willing to listen to the words of
heavenly counsel.

Matrimonial Candidates. -
It is a custom at the Galway (Ireland) Fair
for all the marriageable girls to assemble and to
tempt all wanting- wives, by their captivating
charms, to be made more happy for life. Says
an American gentleman of the highest character,
who was an eye witness, and invited by a noble
man to go and see these girls : "At 12 o'clock
precisely, we went, as directed, to a part of the
ground "higher than the rest of the field, where
we fbuud from sixty to a hundred young women,
well-dressed, with good looks and good manner?,
and presenting a spectacle quite worthy any civil
man looking at, and in " which I can assure my
readers there was nothing to offend any civil or
modest man's feelings. These were the mar
riageable girls of the country, who had come to
show themselves, on the occa.sn, to the 3ng
men and others who wanted wives; and this wah
the plain and simple custom of the fair. I can
plainly say that I saw in the custom no very
great impropriety it certainly did not imply
that, though they were ready to be had, anybody
could have them. It was not a Circassian slave
market, where the richest purchaser could make
his selection. They were, in no sense of the
term, on sale; nor did they abandon their right
of choice; but that which is done constantly in
more refined society, under various covers and
pretenses at theatres, at balls and public ex
hibitions, I will say nothing of churches was
done by these humble and unpretending people
in this straightforward manner."

tions. The Powhatan Steamers connect at Petersburg

lina. Cars arc run alongside of Steamers' Wharf,
and goods transferred with careful handling.
CARS ARE RUN THROUGH WITHOUT BREAK
ING BULK
Between Petersburg and Raleigh, Charlotte, Golds
boro, AVilmington, &c, &c. This Inland Line pos
sesses mnny advantages over a Sea Route. Marine
risk is small and insurance is comparatively nothing.
The Wharf of Powhatan Steamers being situated in
the very centre of the great Shipping District of
Ealtimore, renders it' convenient to shippers, and
drayage is very small.
Great attention paid to consignments of Cotton,
Corn, AA'heat, Rosin, &c, &c. All produce forw arded
at the lowest possible rates.
To insure transportation over this Inland
Fast Line, mark all goods, whether Northward or
Southward bound, 'Aia Petersburg."
fr Freight landed in Baltimore day following
delivery to the Steamers.
Through Receipts are given and fixed rate per 100
pounds guaranteed both ways.
t&" Rates in every case as low as via Bay Lino
and Portsmouth to and from Bultimore, PhduUclphia
and New York.

is forwarded to and from Petersburg by Philadelphia
and New York Steamers.
