In the wrong Bed.

A lew nights since, gentleman, who Is not
particularly we'll acquainted in The city, made
a mistake which very nearly proved serious
one TO him. The houses all so much alike
that il was matter of extreme difficulty for him
TO ascertain The exact tenement where he was
domicillaled, and in thick drizzly fog he was
soreIy perplexeJ TO find his own door. He
had forgotten how many it was 10 the corner
conld'nl read the names OF the streets, owing
TO the darkness, aud therefore resorled to the
ingenious expedlent of trying with his night
KEY every door he came to- Al length 10 his
unspeakable relief, the key slipped in, and he
could open his door Much TO his rage, he
could not find his box of matches his tables
had been moved, and he stuck his head violent
ly against one Of The bedposls. "What Sc,
of wre,ches these land ladies are !" he uttered,
after series Of execralIOns 'they never con-
suit single genlleman's convenience al ALL
What the duce have they been shifting all the
furniture in the room for, without asking my

they are, and II will learn them 10 let things
alone" Such were the solilquizing of this Ien-
an. Of comfortable lodgings, as he proceeded
to divest himself of his cohes, and got into
bed with his boots on, calling the most fearful
imprecaions down upon the heads of all per.
sons of all ages, sexes and conditions, who ev-
er leased chambers garniers. After lille
while he fell asleep. but was not destined to
remain in a stale Of somnoence long. for he
was aw wakened BY noise at,he door. He lis
iened, aud heard distinctly key inserted in
The lock. An indis,inct sensation of fear crepl
over him aud he wished iha, he had revoI
yer under his pillow 10 defend himself against
The auacks of this burglar and midnight assassin,
for such he Judged him TO be. The latch licked
and The inlruder entered. cold sweat broke
out upon the gentleman in bed, but he lay per-
feclly quiet ;il necessity should require aellon.
He heard some one moving about the room. but
with very uncertain gait, occasionally STUN
bling over shoes and other articles, al length
heard him use a friction match, which was
succeeded by production of light. /" Well.

A Discovery for Preventing Fires.

was read by Rev. Barlow, and was an account

been published in the annals of The society at
length. The following is brief abstract Of
its purporl:

ence upon the prosperity of commerce IN this
ocean. A dense population will soon be in Cali
forna, and, if agriculture be neglected, large
feet of vessels will be required to supply their
wants
The line of steamers via Panama, which are to
commence running In January next, will make
California and Oregon near neghbors to the great
commercial cities Of the Atlantic coast A rail-
road has long been talked of, and will doubtless
soon be commenced. Boston and St. Louis are
already connected by magnetic line, an extern
sion Of which is already contemplated to the Pa
cifc coast. The expense of completing line
from St. Louis to the Pacific has been estimated
at 100000, and we confidently believe that in
our day and generation both undertakings will
be accomplished.
1t is impossible to foretell the mighty influence
which this chain of events will exert upon the fu-
ture prosperity of commerce in this ocean. The
Pacific, about which so much has been written
and so little known, will soon be crowded with
traders; every bay and island, every nook and
corner will be explored. The mighty wave of
emigration which is now rolling towards the west
ern shores of the American continent will, sooner
or later, reach our shores. The geographical po-
sition of these islands point to them as the West
Indies of the Pacific coast. Before, however,
any great advance be made here, different
policy in regard to lands and labor must be pur-
sued If the people who own lands will not cul-
tivate them they must and will be expelled from
the hive.

Serenade.


Look out upon the night, lady,
'Tis sweetest in life's hours;
The Loving moon is kissing now
The little loving flowers
The air goes whispering by. lady,
And murmurs to each tree
AS softly with its perfumed breath
AS | would fain to thee!
Look out upon the night, lady,
Look out ON yonder star,
1t gazeth on its earthly love
Night after night afar;
My love is like that star. lady,
It burneth bright and fair;
And though cloud may dim itsray
1t still burns warmly there!
Look out upon the night, lady,
See how the moon awakes
A thousand things to life and love
In all the forest brakes;
Thy love was like that moon lady,
~ er all IL SheO lLS ilgnt,
And made my life lovely thing
How beautiful, how bright!
Look out upon the night, lady.
The moon is growing dim;
A mighty storm grows DER the sky,
And hushed is nights low hymn
So dimmed beneath life's cloud, lady,
The light of love to me-
And like yon moon, SO fed the hope,
The hope had in thee!
Look out upon the night, lady,
See how thy loves decay
Has spread shadow DER my heart
My light has passed away.
Dos't see yon dark abyss, lady,
So full of shadows strange,
Where light showed many lovely form
Fen such is my hearts change!
Look out upon the night, lady,
For love alone it's meet
It's magic and it's loveliness
Alas like it are fleet!
The dew-drops OH the grass, lady,
Beneath the glare of noon,
Leave not fainter trace behind,
Nor pass one half so soon!

ATRUE TALE

BY MRS. JANE L.. GRAY, EAsToN, PENNA.
it once befel, upon day
When chilling winds did blow,
And winter had his mantle on
OF white and dazzling snow;
And every pond and rivulet
Were bright and smooth as glass,
Some boys went out, sportive hour
Upon the ice to pass.
Oh, many mothers hope was there,
With kerchief round his chin,
And mirtens warm upon his hands,
And cap Of sable skin.
And there was many gentle youth,
Their parents pride and joy;
There, too, was William Patterson,
A humble negro boy.
Oh, but they were jolly band,
And pleasant twas to see
How gracefully upon the ice
They went, and merrly.
Now here, now there, now up, now down,
While laugh, and joke, and shout.
We're heard upon the sparkling lake,
And echoed round about.
Alas for in the very height
OF all their sport and glee,
The treacherous stay beneath their feet
Was broken suddenly!
Down, down they sink-seven precious souls,
Beneath the ice bound wave;
Oh. who OF all that shared their sport
Will risk his life to save!
"Oh Patterson, VIII Patterson
In agony they cry!
"Our comrades, come, oh, quickly come,
Save, save them, or they die !"
He heard, he few, small need had they
To call upon him twice; rs
Like lightning fash at summers eve,
He's down beneath the ice.
And soon up 10 the slippery verge.
His sable arms upbore
Two shyering youths, the rescued ones,
And carried safe 10 shore. a
"ll save them all. I'll save them all ="
The youthful hero cried;
Again The daring boy went down,
Rose, struggled, sank, and died.
Vain were thy efforts, noble boy
He died but could not save,
And many a mourning mothers pride
Lies with him meath the wave.
How changed the scene-for laugh and shout,
For frolir, sport, and glee,
Are heard around that fatal spot,
Wild shrieks of agony.
And dare we WOO to muse for thee.
Dark Aries sable son at
Thy name might shine in glowing lines
Be graved in lasting stone.
For bold and fearless was thy heart.
Though black might be ihy skin;
The hero on the blood stained field
Could scarce thy laurels win.
And now unto his mothers home.
He left so blithe at morn,
a stiff cold corse her darling boy
Was sadly, slowly borne!
She laid him in his wintry grave.
Her earthly stay is gone
Poor woman-Oh God pity her,
She's lost noble son.
And low to all that may have read
This short and simple lay. 81
word or TWO before we part
an humble bard would say
Oh, life is fleeing. death is sure.
Think of the judgment-day.

A NEW BREED OF MEN.

IN former letter, I mentioned to you
that Col. Ducouret. who has already pen
etratcd far into Africa, was about to set
out on new and extensive exploration
of Ave years. under the special auspices
Of the French government. and at the
charge ofthe treasury. The minister of
public instruction asked of the Academy
Of sciences some Instructions for him,
which were read at the sitting of the 2oth
inst. AT the same time the Colonel ad-
dressed to the Academy notice of the
race of the Ghilanes inhabiting the inte-
Nor Of Africa, and renowned among neigh
boring tribes as caudulated or having
tails. The matter is so curious that |
have caused to be translated for you
what has been published aboutit, by one
Of the scientific reporters. Lord Non
boddc will not have erred so much in his
primitive stock.
