JsMe. No nero over worked so bard : a servant's pay to save. She made herself most willingly a household drudge and slave. "What wonder that she never read a maga zine or bonk. Combining ns she did In one, nurse, houso mald, seamstress, cook 1 What wonder that the beauty fled that I once bo adored ! Her beautiful complexion ray fierce kitchen lire devoured ; Her plump, soft, rounded arm was once to fair to bo concealed; Hard work for me that softness Into sinewy strength congealed. I was her alter, and her love the sacrificial name: Ah ! with what pnro devotion she to that al ter came. And, tearful, nuns thereon alas 1 I did not know it then All that she was, and moro than that, all that she might have been ! At last, I won success. Ah t then our lives were wiaer parteu: I was far up the rising road; she, poor girl, where we started. I had tried my speed and mettle, and gained strength in every raco; I was far up the heights of life she drudg ing at me oase. She made me take, each fall, the stump ; she saiil 'twas my career; The wild applause of lls'nlng crowds was music to my ear. WhatstimuluBhadsheto cheer her dreary solitude? For mo she lived on gladly In unnatural widow-hood. 8he conld'nt read my speech, but wheD the rjnnerfl nil asreed Twos the best one of tho session, those com ments she could read: And with a gush of pride thereat, which I had never felt. She sent them to me in a note with half tnc words misspelt. I to the Legislature went, and said that she should go, To seo the world with me, and what the world was doing know. With fearful smile she .answered, "No! four dollars ls'the pay; The Bates House rates for board for onlsjug that sum per day." At twenty-eight tho Stato House; on tho bench at tnirty-inroe: At forty every gate In llfo was opened wide to me. I nursed my powers, and grow, and made my point In life; but she s Bearing such pack-horse, weary loads,!wb&t could a woman be? What could she be? Oh, shame! I blush to think what she has been ; The most unselfish of all wives to theselfish est of men. Yes, plain and homely now she Is ; she's ig - norant, 'tis true ; - For me she robbed herself quite our; I rep resent the two. Well, I suppose I might do as other men havedono; First break her heart wit cold neglect, then shove her out alone. Tho world would say 'twas well, and more, would give great praise to me. For having borne with "such a wlfo" so un complainingly. And shall I? No! The contract 'twlxt Han nab, God and mo Was not for one or twenty years, but for eternity. No matter what the world may think ; I know down In my heart That. If either. I'm delinquent: sho has bravely done her part. There's another world beyond this ; and on the final day Will Intellect and learning 'gainst such de votion weigh?

A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, writing from Richmond, Va., pays, in his account of the meet ing of the American Pomological So ciety, the foregoing valuable and graceful tribute to Nebraska: NEBRASKA AHEAD. Nebraska astonished every one. She exhibited 14G varieties of apples, 13 of pears, 15 of peaches, 1 of plums, 10 of grapes. No liner iruit ever grew in the same latitude. This being the only collection fuliilling the requiie ments, and being worthy, was award ed the honor and premium offered for the best collection of different species of fruit from any State. She, like Iowa", donated her premium to the society so did all taking premiums; and the society passed a resolution appropriating the money received from these donations to the purpose of procuring a set of dies to be used in striking medals. The medals are to-be used in the future to convey the honors of the society to those entitled to such honors. That this premium should be carried off by Nebraska, bleak, -'cold and windy Nebraska, within whose borders, fifteen years ago, no cultivated fruit was grown, was a great surprise to nearly all. But when we bear in mind that she is situated in the center of the great fruit belt of tho country, has a most perfect soil, the elevation and undu lation of surface so necessary to suc cessful fruit culture, we need not be surprised that her honors on this oc casion were justly earned. Vive la Nebraska, among the youngest and fairest of the sisters. a The Richmond correspondent of the Prairie Farmer, says: "Nebraska shows 14G varieties of Apples, 13 of Pears, 15 of Peaches, 1 of Plums, 1 of Grapes. This collec tion shows that Nebraska, contrary to the expectations of many, but not of your reporter, will prove one of the greatest fruit regions of the north west. He fruits are as nrm as any- grown in the same latitude, and have that clearness of skin and high color peculiar to the upper Missouri region. Her collection being the only one meeting the requirements, and being worthy, was awarded the $100 premi um offered by the Virginia State Hor ticultural Society for the best and largest collection of- different species of fruits of any one State. This pre mium was generously donated by her delegation to the American Pomolog-ical-Society. Hurrah for Nebraska:" ' The Emperor William, in conse-" 2uence of the urgent? e'titreaty of the" Jrown Princess Victoria, has deter mined to appoint the widows of the soldiers slam in the late war against France to all vacancies in'tbfe public" libraries.

For years it had been a favorite mode of punish ment, and was a cruel and barbarous remnant of those dark and dismal times called the middle ages. The character of the puuishment may be inferred from the following descrip tion, by an eye witness, of the last execution of the kind: On an autumn morning In the year 1851, the garrison of the fortress of Thereisenstadt, on the Egar river, in Bohemia, was formed on a large square on the spacious place before the residence of the commandant. In the middle of the square, drawn up in file, stood a comnanv of a. rifle battalllon, to which the delinquent belonged. It was unarmed, each pri vate (there were three hundred) being provided with a switch, and placed at a small distance from his next man. At the tenth stroke of the clock, the drums were beaten, and, amidst a si lence deep and oppressive, the priso ner was marched iuto the square. He was as fine looking a man as I ever set eyes upon; tall, powerful and well formed. His handsome features, to whioh a black moustache gave a bold and martial expression, shone forth in the full glow and vigor of manhood, only they were of deadly paieness. He was a non-commissioned officer, and during the campaign in Italy, in 1840, he had distinguished himBelf in such a maimer that his superior offi cers had recommended him for pro motion. Austria is more generous than England towards those that shed their blood in her service, and he would have been made a commis sioned officer long since in spite of his humhle origin and his poverty if it had not beon for a fatal impediment. Tins impediment was his own pas sionate temper; he was a very chole ric man, harsh and brutal to his infe riors, morose and stubborn to his su periors whenever they considered it necessary to check or rebuke him. He was hated by the men to the ut most. There was not a private in the whole battallion that had not vowed him revenge. He had never made one friend, nor did he care to have one. Strict in the performance of his military service--the most minor du ties of which he discharged with the utmost exactness he went his own way, proud, reserved, solitary. In numerable were the punishments which he had brought upon the.men; for, however slight the offence might be, he was sure not to pass it over in silence. His superior officers respected him for his usefulness, his ability and his exactitude; but they did not like him. The evident lack of humanity in the man made him an object of doubt rather than of love. More over there was a vague rumor about his having once struck at his own of ficer in the midst of a pell mell, caus ed by a hand to hand encounter with the enemy. The report never took a clear shape, the officer having been killed. The engagement, and gossipping of a few wounded soldiers, had been much too incoherent and contradicto ry to lead to a formal investigation of the matter; besides it was at the victo ry i f Navarre. He had greatly dis tinguished himself, and tho old Field Marshal liadezky had with his own hands affixed the golden medal on his ureast. The rumor, however, togeth er with the knowledge of his harsh and violent temper, caused his name to be erased from the list of those who were recommended for higher promo tion. When this incident was made known to him he became even more sullen, more rigid, more cruel than ever, but always, as it was well under stood, for the benefit of the service, the slightest demands of which he performed with the same immutable strictness as he enforced them to be done by others. A few weeks previous to the dread ful punishment which he had now to undergo, he was mounting guard in the outworks, with gome twenty or twenty-five men of his own company. It was a chiHy, rainy night, and when the sentries were relieved they were glad to stretch themselves, wet as they were, upon -the floor near the large stove in the middle of the guard room. The iioor not being very clean (floors seldom are in these localities), it was no wonder that dirt adhered to them with a tenacity that defied all exertions to get itcfF, when the wear ers were roused by the sergeant to prepare for standing guard once more. The more they tried to rub their clothes clean the more sturdily he lent a helping hand to their endeav ors by an application of the sad equip ment of every Austrian non-f oramis sioned officer, the stick. While he was fully at work, cutting away at the men with a powerful arm, the door opened and the officer on duty enter ed the guard room. "Attention!" commanded the Ber- gcant; and, saluting the superior, he made the usual report that nothing worth remarking bad happened. The officer, a young ensign, fresh from the military school, and almost a boy, took no notice whatever of this im portant news, but asked the sergeant in a brisk aud somewhat impetuous manner, what. he was again striking the men for. The sergeant, already much annoyed at this interference, gave a surley and unwilling answer, and when the young officer rebuked him in a severe and,perhap3 somewhat haughty man ner, the violent and passionate man, losing self-control, lifted up his hand against his officer. It was but one fatalmomdnt,quick as lightning. The uplifted hand never descended: it was caught by a dozen powerful arms. He was felled to the ground and disarmed. Half an' hdur afterwards he found himself in irons in the casements. Lifting an arm against a superior Is considered a capital crime. In this case it had been committed whilst both parties were on duty, and the Austrian military laws are the very last in tbe world to be trifled with. The following- day he' was tried by court martial arid sentenced to be shot. When the sentence was for warded to the competent authority for rati fi cation", it happened to be the superior's anniversary day; capital punishment was commoted, the pris oner had to run-thegauntlet. A cruel act of grace was his comniu tationt Wbentue first sentence had been read over to bjim.hp had remain- ed cold1 Impassable; not" a muscle Of his proud face stirred. He did not fear death: be bad looked'it ih the face many a time without flinching; and to die in the open air, pierced with a dozen balls, a soldier's death, what should he care much for that? Bnt when he was told that he had to ran VOL. 15.-N0. 50. tho gauntlet twice through hia-xm-pany, after having been previously degraded, he trembled for the first time in his life. He knew of many a soldier who had run the rrauntlet tnnce tnrougn a wnole battallion, and not even the worse for it after all; he knew of some that had married after wards and brought up families of children; he was fully aware that the issue of tbus terrible" torture depended entirely upon the disposition of the men. Dreadful reflection! Above all hp Minncrlif nffhuihomo V. i:.Unnn- '", 6"" "' M'touumc, mu uouwiui numuoprauu neart was nign giving way. On the evening previous to the pun Ishment, the 2d rige battallion of Ivehrenbuller Infantry would have been unfit for service; the men were drunk. They had got up a carousal in joy and honor of the coming day. But in the morning they were sober enough. The drums ce&sed to beat as soon as the prisoner had arrived In tbe middle of the squarer his escort fell back. He stood alone near the right wing of the company. There was a dead silence; not a respiration was to be heard from all the thousands gath ered on the spot. The commanding officer read tho sentence over to him the second time. This done he ex horted the men, according to custom, to dispenso with all feelings of com- gassion and do their duty conforma Iy to the law. The colonel went through his part of the formality in a qnick and hurried manner, as if he were unwilling to perform it. So he was, he knew but too well, that in this instan.ee, there was no need for exhortation. These,pjreliminaries be ing over, the prisoner was delivered into the hands of the provost. When the latter tore off from his uniform the golden lace and galloons, the marksof his military rank, throw ing them at his feet, the face of the unfortunate man became purple, and bis dark eye flashed fire. When he was stripped of bis coat and shirt, and placed at the entry of the terri ble street through which he had to pass he became pale again. Two sol diers " went ahead ; they marched backward, with their bayonets pre sented to his breast, so as to compel him to keep measure to a drum which brought up the rear. The drum was muffled; its slow and small beats sounded like the music of a funeral procession. When he received the first stroke his features assumed an expression of pain, and his firm-set lips quivered slightly. This was, however, the on ly sign of sensation. Crossing his arms over his breast, and pressing his teeth close together, his proud face remained henceforth immovable. His merciless enemies enjoyed but an in complete triumph after all. They might slash his body to pieces, but his proud, indomitable spirit they could not break. The bIows'descend ed with fearful violence upon him. After the first dozen blood came ; but never did he utter one single exclam ation of pain ; never, not even with a look, bid he implore for mercy. An expression of scorn and disdain was deeply set on his face, as pale as death. When ho had reached at last the left wing of the company, his lascerated back presented a frightful appearance. Even his most exasper ated enemies might well have been satisfied now. If it had but been possible, the commanding officer him self would have interceded in his be half. But this was not even to be thought of; the law must have its course. They faced him rightabout ; he had to make the same way back again. There was one formality connected with this punishment which was a cruel, barbarous and shameful mock ery ; the delinquent had to thank his-j executioners for his tortures. When the victim had arrived at the file leader of the right wing of his company, and the dreadful execution was over at last, he threw one last, long look, firll" 6f contempt, at his tormentors. Then he was seen stag gering like a drunken man, towards the commanding, officer. His eyes swollen with blood, beamed with an unnatural brightness, his respiration was short and painful ; touching his head with his right hand, in token of the military salute, he said in a voice that came out of his tnrOatf with a rat tling sound, but that was neverthe kWdutinctly audable over the place, "I have to thank your honor for bis exquisite punishment," and fell down dead. Curious Will Oddities of Human Na ture. Some, who in life would not have given a cup of water to a beggar, by their wills leave enormous sums to charities, to secure for themselves a kind of posthumous admiration. Others allow not their resentment to rsleep with them in the grave, but leave behind them wills which excite the bitterest feelings and animosities among their surviving relatives. Some wills are remarkable for their .conciseness and perspicuity; others for their unprecedented, shapes and curious contents. One man provides for a college, another for a cat; one gives a legacy to provide bread and herrings for the poof in- Lent, and kid gloves for the minister; while others provide for bull-baitltig; the welfare of maid-servants", and the pro motion of matrimoni.

The- 8ti Joseph Herald, gives then following sketches of the famous horses "Goldsmith Maid" and. "Lu cy:" OOLDSMITH 3TAID- is a bright, glossy bay, thirteen- years old, with black legs, mane and tail, the latter sweeping- six: inches on tho ground. Sheis-a triflo over fifteen hands high, and weighs- SIO pounds when in good trotting condition. She was sired by Edsall's Hamble tonian, afterward called Alexander Abdullah. Her dam was an Abdal Jah maro. She was raked nr Orango county, New York, and at six years of age was sold for $250, being sold! the next day for $350. and purchased in a short time by Alden Goldsmith, of Orange county, New York, for $600, who began to train her for the purpose of developing her speed. Af ter trotting her in that section of tho country till the fall of 1S6T, Mr. Gold smith placed the Maid in the hands of Budd Doble, who trotted her one raco tiiat fall, at Providence, Rhode Is land, for horses that had never beat 2:30. getting a record of 2:29J. The next spring Doble began trot ting her and kept her going all the season, and by fall had reduced' tier record to 2:22j. She was then sold to Doble and Wm. D. Jackman for$20. 000. Last spring they sold her to N. H. Smith, of New York, at figures which are not mentioned: In 1869 tho Maid trotted in seventeen races ;" in 1870 in sixteen, and, up to date, has trotted eight1 races this year. Sho has lost but one race in two seasons. No horse has ever traveled the coun try that has made the average heats, that have been recorded in favor of ' Goldsmith Maid: LUCY, the worthy companion of the peerless Maid, Is a bay, fifteen hands high, dho was sired by George M. Patchen, her dam being a Mayday mare. Sho" is thirteen 3'ears old, and was raised in Burlington county. N. J. At six years old Lucy was sold to a Philadel phian and used as a road maro, being sold by him, in two or three years, to a New Yorker, for $2,500. She then passed iuto the hands of Norrls Hoi--comb, of Hartford, Conn., and in 1866 trotted, at Fashion Course, in 2:23. Tn the fall of 1867 Lucy came into Budd Doble's hands, and in 1868- got a record of 2:22. Since then she has trotted a great many heats' In? less time, but not winning them, co rec ord has been kept. In tho summer of 1870 she was sold to a Phifadelphla gentleman, and placed in charge of William H. Doble, Bodd Doble's father. Under hi3 skillful and able management she has proved a far be' ier iu.hu than ever before. The pres ent year she lapped Goldsmith Maid -in her three great heats of 2:191, 2:19f' and2:19'atBuj3aIo. Upon accomplishing this great feat she was purchased by H. C. Bently. of Milwaukee, on private terms, and started on a western tour, under tho charge of O. A. Hickok. These horses do not travel as hip pod romers, as no pools are sold when thoy troValone, but merely to exhib-" it their speed and give tho western people a chance to see good time. Goldsmith Maid has a record thaft no horse in the country can rival, and Lucy.Is the only horse that can- tray-' el and compete with her.- We are glad to be al lt to an'nounco-' on unimpeachable authority that Mr. Greeley Is not given" to profane swear ing, as certain mischievous editors, envious of his great fame and knowl edge of farming, vould have the country believe.

He never adds the word "dam," except when In presence of a great; water potter, ana in the most excited conversation he always spells it without the final n, in which it Is' well known the profanity consists.
