WORDS OF HOPE.

WORDS OF HOPE.
Dreamers! wake We from your revery-
Sleepers rouse ye from your sleep!
Wrong and vice in virtues livery,
Round We like the serpents creep!
Fix your glances on futurity-
Lo! where beams the day-spung bright
le may Yet know JOY and purity
Darkness may be changed to light!
God sleeps not, though sleeps humanity
Moves he still in fire and blood:
Heaven is not vast Inanity-
Earth is more than mankind's shroudl
Good is our race, though hidden
Peace is mightier far than strife;
Earth may yet be made an Eden
Heaven be reached in mortal life!
There Is nought so high and holy
As the Hope which conquers Pain:
In yourselves ye crushed and lowly,
Lives tie power to rise agan
Trust not that which startles reason
Good can ne er be gained by i'll;
All that chains, or clouds, is treason;
Nought is powerful but a. WILL
Would we read the Eternals mysterya
Like Bartin'eus view the day!
Eyes that best discern Gods history
Were anointed first with clay.
Gaze from weil-dcpths mp to heaven,
And ye see the stars at noon--
Thus to lowly sense is given
Reasons best and richest boon!
Not one grain of earth's material
Ever was, nor will be, lost
And shall mans great soul, Ethereal
Be to dark oblivion lost?
Boldly speak, reluctant lsper!
Truths appeal must mount on high
Each great Word-each feeble whisper
Once breathed out, can never die!

Uoodel Legs and Shoe Pegs in Ncac-
HampShire.-Thc correspondent of the
y. \. Eve. Post, gives the following inter-
esting account of Yankee ingenuity, when
stimulated by necessity. Speaking of the
village of Meridith Bridge, he SAYS
There is Il man living here of the name
of Palmer, who some years since lost one
OF his legs, above the knee. He purchased
one OF the artificial substitutes made in n
ork, and, finding it not altogether the
thing, set himself 10 work TO improve upon
1t, the result of which has been a beautiful
article, about one-lourth the weight Of the
old one, and avoiding much of the clumsy
machinery. 1t presents perfectly smooth
surface, the joints at the knee, the ankle
and the toes, being made by means Of few
simple springs and tcndons, to move so
much like nature, that scarcely any limp is
perccptible in the movements of one who
wears it. lie exhibited this at the Nation
al far in Washington, and has now an APP
pIicatlon of one person per day, on an av-
cIaCc, so that he is full of business. The
material is willow wood, which is particu-
LARRY wei adapted by its Iighincss and Acx-
Utility. SO much for wooden legs.
Near this establishment is one for wood
en- pegs for shoes, where thirty or forty
bushels Of that article are turned out every
day. They sell for one dollar per bushel.
\ good storyIs told ofthcir being pointed
at the other end and sold for oats.

THE BLACK VOMTT

Mr., Bradbury, late editor of the Cincinnati News
tells the following.
! The last stage of the yellow fe,er-cener,llv
! significant of the separation of the soul from the
| body-has most awful meaning in those South

patient, IS most distinct intmaton 10 the friends
OF the afflicted that they NAV prepare coffin. and
make other funeral arrangements as speedlv as
| possible. The most extraordinary case of" black
Vomt we ever heard Of that came under our OBJ
serFatIon, occurred at New Orleans during tbe
epidemic OF 1871
Our old friend and associate Dennis Corcoran-
now one of the editors OF the n Orleans pelta-"a
fellow OF Infinite Jest" and wild Irishman into
.le oargan-was caught with pain both in the
',edo ana The back, and was laid up as most dec-
| ued example OF yellow fever victim For three
days and nights he struggled with the enemy, but
IN VAIN The efforts OF his medical attendants were
oaiied no medicine could be made to operate on
ms s. stem-and he was finally siyenu up as "qone
coon. The fact was announced to him

entirely alone-three or four OF his friends and the
physician being in an adjoining room-the door

articles necessary in her vocation Dennis raised
himself, halt dclllous and, consequently nearly as
strong IN the paroXysms as when in perfect good
gealth.
That's it" exclaimed he, in a whisper, discov-

piece" that's it! Il get drink now"
lie staggered towards it-raiscd it to his lrs-
and greedily drank the entire contents lie had
hardly time to totter back to the bed and hide
himself beneath the bed-clothes, when the nurse
re-appeared.
FIVE minutes elapsed, when the patient com
menced the process OF vomiting and purging in the
most violent manner 1t was the cIcaIcst possible
case OF the black vomir"
Good Heavens! calculated the doctor did
anybody ever see any thing so black as thai! He

Dennis came very near dying, but he did not: he

\ CREEK MURDER AND EXECrTION.-A
gentleman who recently visited the Greek
iA>%4tntccHHlar 2 Of a murder and execution
among the Greeks (says the Cherokee Adj
yocatc, OF the 9th Augusta the latter OF
which he wiucsSed:
"In the early part Of last week, diff
Guilty occurred between two men, who
were cousins, near the Ncrdigris, and not
far from the line between the Greeks and
Cherokccs, relative to some property, and
in which one stamped the other to death.
The survivor was Immediately arrested and
the next day was put upon trial for MUIR
der. The jury being equally divided IN
opinion as to his guilt, his brother was
called upon to decide, which he did by de-
cllring his brother guilty and worthy OF
death. Steps were Immediately taken to
prepare for the execution, and IN which the
doomed man participated BY hurrylng those
engaged in digging his graHc-ln seeing
that it was wcH done, and in making every
thing ready. The hour for his execution
which was to be BY shooting, soon arrived;
when he marched out with the two persons
selected for this purpose. When he reach
cd the grave he seated himself by the side
of it, faced his cXecuUoncrs. who stood
with guns presented within less than TEL
/ PAGES of him; barred his breast, and looking
Them firmly in the face, said that he wa:
ready-the guns fired and he fell back
alongside of his grave, his clothes deposit
cd in it with him and the newly dug cartl
/ rolled in upon them.
"On one day, while some what intoXi
Gated, he had murdered his follow-man-
before the next closed, he himself had beer
tried, condemned by the verdict of his owl
brothcr-assisted in preparing for his las
moments, met unmoved the death-tire Q
his executioners, and occupied the gray
selected by himsclt.--N. Q. Delta.

] tOgelucF, anu uley entered through Udrl
cleft in the rock, into narrow passage
After an hours walk, they came to a vaultet
cavern lighted with lamp.
At the entrance of this vault were two
large black dogs. In the centre stood a ia
bic, at which several knights, in sable ap
parel, were seated. Upon the table was
heap Of gold and silver coins.
AT a sign from his conductress, the
peasant gathered up the coins from the
table, filling his hat and pockets. lie die
not observe that some gold pieces were lief
! behind. Then leaving the vault as quickly
as possible,he FASTENED through the passage
into the open air, stopping to breathe only
when he heard cleft in the rock close
behind him.
When he sought the treasure it had van
lshed altogether; and the maiden appeared
to him no more.
The countryman to whom this adventure
happened, had the fortune to live to an ex-
treme oldage. He enjoyed excellentheaIth
and was highly respected, and the people
from the hamlet Of Schwerta used to come
in the evenings to listen to the tales and le-
gends he would tell. Two lavorites he
had among the young people, who came
often to ask his advice in love matters; one
was the youthful ignatz, the best weaver
and the mostarcompIished horseman in the
country; the other Veronica, the daughter
ola rich and proud farmer, but the gcntlest
as Wcllas the most beautiful girl among all
who lived in the valley.
1t had not escaped the observation of
their aged friend, that Iqnatz and Veronica
loved each other; and he soon learned that
money alone was wanting to make them
happy. In reply to the young mans
complaint of this want. his friend cndeavor-
ed to console him by reminding him of the
the transitory nature Of riches; as, for OK
tim Hlngenberg. !gnatz had often heard
the story; to it awakened new ideas in his
mind. Day and night these were before
him. He visited the mountain often after
dusk; but coniided not his thoughts to Yer
onica.
The day came that numbered hundred
years from the time of the old mans adven-
lures. lgnatz obtained leave Of absence
from his employer, on prctencc of indispo-
siton, and FASTENED to the Zangenbcrg.
On thc third dav after that on which he
had awaited the mysterious visit, he saw
female whose dress and appearance answer
ed the description given by his old friend.
She berhon1d him; he went quickly tow
ards her. But Is she was about to speak,
company Of travellers passed along the
road; and laying her wasted finger on her
Hips, the appartIon vanished.
