A Bavarian journal states that traglcal
event has occurred in the seminary at Potsdam.
1t was strictly forbidden for any of the pupils
to form an intimacy with persons OF the female
sex, and one was expelled from the seminary
in consequence of having done So This opera
ted SO strongly on the mind of another YOUTH
who had formed idis0n with the daughter OF
an old invalid, that they both resolved on sell
destruction in the event of discovery. This
soon took place, and expulsion followed as IN
the case of his comrade. He instantly repaired
to his mistress, and they both resolved to keep
their word They met at night on the borders
of the lake in the palace garden, each bringing
a phial of sulpAuric acid; dispute arose as to
which should drink first; the girl, being more
courageous, drank hers in an instant, so eager
ly that her lips and chin were dreadfuily burnt;
the youth then followed her example. Some
thing, however which he had drank on the way,
to keep up his courage, acted in some degree as
an antidote. The girls sufferings were acute in
the extreme; to cool the fire within, they both
plunged into the lake to ease their torments. He,
however, was an expert swimmer, and, as she
chung to his cloak, they did not meet with death
here; a ray Of light seemed to dawn upon the
scattered senses of the youth; he at this moment,
wished for life. He called aloud for help, and
assistance was afforded; they were both carried
to their homes, and thence to the hospital The
girl expired in half an hour; medical aid sue
ceeded in restoring speech to the youth, who, a
few days ago, was able to give these particu
lars; he is now pronounced out of danger; but
will bear infirmity with him for the rest of his

Of his celebrated favorite the Pratorian project,
did he insure his responsibility to, the Roman
people by making that army thus dependent on

And pray what was the power even of that
army in comparison with that which you pro.
pose to establish? | beg gentlemen to rehect
tered over the Union, occupying all the COM

TIME.

Chide not the lingering hours Of life,
Its toll will soon be Ger;
It's schemes of glory aud az strife,
It's dreams with disappoiRimeDIs rife,
VIII vex the heart no more
And yet the very souls that grieVe
A nOmeDt's weary track,
Perhaps, in after years would give
A world 10 via Il back.
Glide not the lingering lapse of Time,
Nor count it's moments dull;
F0r soon the bell, with mOurmful chime,
Will wait the spirit To a cline
Mere bright aud beauiifui---
land where grief will never fling
It's darkness on the soul
Where Faith and Hope shall gladly wing
Their path without control.
Glide not Times slow aud silent hours,
Though heavy they may seem;
he Past bath sought obiivionss shores
The Present. which alone il ours,
Il passing like y dream:
And they, who scarcely heed it's track,
Or wish It's course more fast,
With trniiless prayer, may yet call back
One moment VI the past.
Chide not moments weary fight,
Too 5000 il speeds away,
And nearer brings the hour of night
And DINNER makes the feeble sight
Then work while yet tits Day!
Thus shall Lies morning ray depart
Without one vain regret,
And Death steal gladly on the heart,
When Life's bright sun hath set.
