WATERING PLAcEs.-Of all the summer retreats
in this neghborhood, Fort Hamilton is one of the
most delightful The drive along the margin Of the
bay is picturesque and agreeable in the extreme
and for the accommodation of those who prefer
water conveyance, an elegant steamboat plies regu-
larry several times day between the Fort and the
city In the hottest day the air is here cool and re-
freshing, and the which presents itself to the
eye, you sit in the shade Of the piazza and smoke
mild Havana, is quite enchanting. Reed, the pro-
pretor of this elegant place, has formed quite an orr
gnal idea for the benefit of his guests and visitors
lie intends to erect the beach on the western part
Of Coney Island an immense tent-a hundred feet
long and fifty wide-as sort Of retreat in the hot
season Conveniences will be provided for sea-
bathing, fishing and picnic parties. The idea is adj
mirabe, and Reed is just the man TO carry il out in
the most complete and picturesque style.

LEeAI. DECISION FOR THE BRoKERs.-We publish
in another column very important decision Of the
Court of Errors relative the sale Of hypothecated
stocks at the Board Of Brokers' 1t appears that a
lender has no right to sell or part with the stock Of
borrower, until after the expiration of the time for
which the loan was made. That the mode of selling
stocks at the board Of brokers renders all sales made
there illegal, although authority was given to sell
there.
This decision may give some trouble to those Shy
locks Of Wall street who made extensive loans to
the small operators on the stocks of the Harlem,
Norwich 81 Worcester, and Long Island Railroad
Companies, when these stocks were at low prices,
and afterwards sold out the stocks loaned on with
out the consent of the borrowers, in the usual way
at the board of brokers, it in fact fixes their liza
biiy to account to the borrowers for the stocks so
sold at the present prices.

as baTena goose pasture in winter. If afower
chances TO bloom, it is destitute of fragrance; ;orf it
have any, it wastes its sweetness,Sas the poet
says, upon the desert air. To be without love,
is like being without fire in winter, lamp at
night, and sun at midday. The heart that ne

BILE as picked clam to all the finer feelings,
and stranger to every delightful emotion. An
old bachelor, my friends, whose heart is never
warmed with affection, is miserable nobody in
the world He is as cold booded as a turtle,
and looks as melancholy as clam. His hopes
die as soon as they begin to pinleather-there is
no more sentiment in his soul, than there is mu-
sic ina corn-stalk fiddle-his thoughts are wrap
ped up in the shroud of selE--he knows not the
pleasures attendant on the sexual amalgamation
of souls-his abode is fixed in the solitary wilds
of celibacy, whore all is cherries, comfortless
and dreary. There he lives and there he dies
unhonored and unwept; and when he is finally
carried away by the current of time, we can on.
ly say there goes another parcel Of rubbish into

for the next four years. The sergeant, rejoiced
to meet with such excellent material for q dra-
Coon, slapped him approvingly on the shoulder,
slipped half dollar into his fist as an earnest of
future favors, and complimented him on the pros
poets of glory that were opening to him and to
all "enterprisng young men" who joined the
service, both in Mexico and Oregon. "It speaks
rumpet-tongued," he added, "for the patriotism
of all such young men as you are, TO see them
come in at time like the present, when we are
threatened with war from two opposite quarters
and enroll themselves in the standing army q
the country"
"Hold on, stranger" said the Tennessean,
"dld you say standin' army?"
"Certainly did," said the sergeant; Sand

Ct.r The Rothschilds brothers, of Paris, have
made donation of $3.50 to the sufferers by the
Pittsburgh fire. Such charity, though bruited
abroad by thousand tongued fame, comes not the
less from magnanimous hearts. An anecdote is
related of Baron Solomon Rothschld, which we
cannot help inserting here.
"a merchant named Joseph Rothschild, resi-
ded at Pesth, in Hungary. His business was
small and became quite unprosperous His wife
grew sick, and every thing seemed to be going
badly in bsttle establishment Notwithstanding
his intelligence and his industry, he was not able
to supply the wants of his family, and he resolv-
ed to go to Vienna, and try to obtain from some
of his fellow countrymen some articles of trade,
upon credit. Two days after his departure, his
wife gave birth to a son. The child was flourish
| ing, but the mother alone and destitute, wrote
to her husband to beg him TO return to her, and
not knowing where he lodged in the great city,
she addressed her letter merely to Joseph Roths-
child, Vienna. Chance, which has overthrown
many well laid plots, and sometimes causes mis-
cradle ones to succeed, was this time favorable to
the unfortunate.
The letter was carried to the banker, Baron
Solomon Rothschild, who having accidentally
opened and read it, moved by the complaints of
the poor woman, sent her Immediately bill at
sight for hundred forms, and afterwards caused
search to be made in Vienna for Joseph Roths.
child, of Pesth. The latter was soon found, and
desired to go to the house of his namesake.--
The poor merchant was not little surprised tC
be summoned to visit man whom he did moi
know, and with whom he had never had any inter
course. He went, however, and was received
by the banker in the most friendly manner, anG
Baron Rothschild congratulated him on the birth
of his son. The merchant was much astonished
and hardly knew what to say. Mr.. RothschilC
then gave him the letter from Pssth, and said Il
him, laughing, s'you now want godfather; take
me, If you please, and have no anxiety for the fi
ture support Of the little citizen of this world
who has just seen the light will take charge
Iof il myself" A considerable present crownet

NATHAN HALE.

mid the flash Of spear and shield,
And the banners streaming high,
From the white tents spread on the battle field,
A youth went forth to die.
With the firm unshrinking tread
OF warrior tried and proved
With fearless glance from bis clear eye shed,
mid the serried ranks he moved.
He had fought where the boldest stood,
In the face Of the fiery foe;
When each lifted glance grew dark with blood,
And the dead lay thick below.
And his bosom knew no fear,
As his foot led on the brave;
He had donned the casque and borne the spear
For freedom-or the grave.
But his blade was wanting now,
And no mail enc losed his breast,
Yet the youthful light on his heavenly brow,
Shone proudly as chieitain's crest.
He heard no drums beat,
Nor the swelling clarion high,
No war cloak spread for his winding sheet
AS they called him forth to die
No lov'd ones sought his side,
TO whisper parting tone;
He stood mid the taunts of scorn and pride,
A captive and alone.
He had asked for an hour of prayer
In vain-and his firm reply
Came thrilling along his native air,
In a tone that meier shall die.
tUnshriven, We bid me soar,
To my Makers presence high,
But I've stood in the face of death before,
And shrink not now to die
'For freedom grasped the brand,
With no crayen's wish to live,
And do but mourn for this low land,
! have but one life to give.'
There hath noble blood been split,
In our soil by the foeman's blade;
But ne'er on a shrine TO freedom built,
Was richer offering laid,
Than was his who yielded then,
For his country a heart of steel,
And mourned that he could not pour again,
His hfe-blood for her veal.
Cleveland, Nav, lS45.
