Vt.—The following letter has been addres sed to a very respectable person in the city, from Heidelberg, dated Dec. 25 :—" The w hole conversation of this place has been .iecupied for some days by what is passing at the extreme frontier of the Grand Duchy of Baden, some leagues from our town, up the sleckar. According to an old tradition, aimusi. forgotten, there used to be heard formerly at Rotterbourg Castle a hollow sound, prolonged for some time, on the eve of sonic extraordinary event. This castle is situated on the confines of Baden, Dal mst.alt and A'urtemburgh, a leiwne to the east of Sickhelm, a small town on the great road of Heilbronn. This singular wise has Just been heard for four successive days. On its commenco: ent a Courier ..vas sant to inforn the Government at Carlsrahe of the circum stance. The grand Duke nominated and sent off com-ission of men of science. at the head of which was the celebrated Beckmann, Professor of Physics and Chemistry at Carlsruhe. Tnis Commis sion arrived iiwe enough to be ear-witnesses of what surpasses even the marvellous in the Arabian Tales. They heard very dis tinctly the march of an army, the clanking of arms. the sound of Inc drum and military music, the movemem • t he bi!page wag gons and a numerous tram of artillery, and at last, a grand can nonade and musketry fire ! This noise lastest, o. About interruption, a night and a day ; it appeared to issue front the ~,stle of 'totter botirg, in a direction from east to west, traversing a space of four leagues in length, by a quarter of a league in breadth. The pope. Cation of Siekhehn and its environs, together With a crowd of curi ous people from Henbronu, Neekm•geniund, and even Heidelberg, were witnesses of it; the proses verbal of the whole has been signed by all the civil administrations and heads of corps eantoned near the spot. We at first hesitated to send you this recital, because it has all the air of a tale invented to impose on credulity, but at last we resolved to communicate it such as it is generally stated, as a fact attested by a thousand witnesses. We await, however, with impatience the official rcport of the scientific persons sent to in yes tigatc the affair by the Baden Government." CONSCIENCE. SAY what is this I feel within, Companion of my every hour, Guarding my hands, and heart from sin, Whene'er I own its gentle power It is no raging whirlwind wild, Uprooting strongest forest trees; But to the ♦irtuous, whisp'ring mild, And welcome as soft summer's breeze. , 'Tis water in Arabia's wastes, 'Tis sunbeams on the ArctiF brink ; The sweetest food that man e'er tastes, 'Tis nectar such as angels drink. But how it racks tl►e wicked soul, With torments man should never feel, For nought can ward its fierce controui, Not coat of mail, or brass, or steel. Though splendid wealth should hem him round And faithful friends should court his smile, No tranquil hour by him is found, Nor aught his sleepless nights beguile. Thy influence CONSCIENCE 'tis I see, That yields such pleasure or such pain, Be thou my guide I'll follow thee, And smile at worldly loss or gain. A Fig for IlonE:. , g in Effigy.
