MY MOTHERS VOICE.

Nv mothers voice hear il now.
] feel her hand upon my brow,
As when, in heartfelt joy,
She raised her evening hymn OF praise,
And called down blessings on the days
Other beloved boy.
NV mothers voice I hear il now,
Her hand is on my burning brow,
A that in early hour.
When fever ,l,robbed in all my veins.
And that kind hand first soolhed my pains
With healing power.
Nv mothers voice il sounds az when
She read 10 me Of holy men,
The Patriarchs Of old
And gazing downward in nv face,
She seemed each infant thought TO trace
Ny blue eyes told.
II comes when tIous h,s nnha lowed throng,
Woven in sweet deceptive song
And whispers round by heart;
Az when at eve !, rose on high,
! hear and think that she is nigh,
And they depart.
Though rounl my heart all, all beside
The voice Of Friendship, Love, had died
That voice would liUger there;
Az when, soft pillowed on her breast,
1ts tones FIRST luIled my infant rest,
Or rose in prayer.

A CURIosrrY.-Directly east of The south
part of this city and in a right line with
Division, Liberty, and Washington streets,
there is high bank from which sand and
gravel is obtained for filling in streets end
the large meadow at the south of the CITY,
which is now being filled and laid out into
city lots. This bank at its highest part is
estimated at 800 feet high, above the level
Of Division and Liberty streets, leading di.
rectly towards and terminating ut its base.
Two or three weeks since, there was an
extensive slide or avalanche from the top
of the bank while the workmen were al
dinner, carrying down about a quarter Of
an acre in surface, propelling it to within a
few rods Of four or five fthe nearest hous.
es. Yesterday about 10 O'Clock in the
morning, a stream Of water gushed out of
the earth, near the top of the bank only five
or six feet below the surface of the land
above, and Immediately made it's way down
the declivny, carrying in its course loose
earth and sand, depositing mud and dis.
charging its waters along Division and
Liberty streets. The water still continues
to flow, and its quantity is said to increase.
1t descends nearly 300 feet, with q noise
which NAV ne heard at the distance of ha II
a mile. The vein of water which has lhus
obtained vent is probably supplied from
some reservoir among the hills and high
lands at the cas-. OF the city. Troy Whig
