Another Triumph.

Shortly after ihe arrival of Jenny Lind at
Boston, very painful event occurred there,
which, we learn, has very seriously affected
her, there was very superior mocking-bird
whose powOrs of mimicry and song were
such that he had silenced both the feather
and feline circle there-canary birds and cats
giving up all attempts to outmatch him in
their respective notes. He was removed in
to the room with Jenny, who was charmed
with him After finishing one of her simple
songs, Bob tuned his pipes and gave out
very fair limitations; the admiration of Jenny
was unbounded; she tried him in snatch
from the celebrated ''cavatina' in al Puri-
tani;' Bob" after one or two leaps from
perch to perch, spread his tail in ecstasy, I'll =
led his chest again, and run over all these
beautiful notes as accurately as if they were
the mere echo of the thrilling notes of Jen-
ny.
Mr.. Barnum. who stood by. became alarm
ed; he knew the owner of the bird had too
long pocket to admit of possible hope of
his willingness to part with him. or even en-
ter into 'an engagement on any terms--aud
here was Il bird equal to Jenny thus far.
JeHny, however, seeing tic CONSERVATION
OF her friend, sprang TO the piano and struck
of, in her best style, her celebrated Swedish
Echo song
"Schlelmeert wax under he'll ylartiug
"Weigheugh-hal-Wei eigheugh"
Bob listened -sprang to his water jar
and took sip--listened again--shook his
feathers, and began.
For note or two he succeeded admirably:
but when no came to that poiot where tho
voice of Jenny leaves the earth and turns a
somerset in the clouds poor Bob faltered; no
was seen TO struggle hard-reeed, and fell
dead, from his perch, in lock jaw.

EVENING THOUGHTS.


How sweet and ira ,quil is the hour
Which binds the romance Of life's rest,
With all the PEACE from Heaven descended
TO make our earthly lot more blest.
Upon the face OF yon deep sky,
The dying day has left its smile.
While CLOUDS. of rich and glorious hue,
a cenotaph majestic pile.
Above US spreads the vast expanse,
Calm as the night-slee of girl
With stars that. like her radiant eyes,
CLEAN softly through each ebon curl.
Thy breast, oh Narurel warmly thrills.
Responsive to each bosoin's bound,
As harps accordant, make. when struck,
The same low, sweet harmonious sound.
Thrice blessed hour! thus unto thee,
A weary heart It's homage pays
Each closing day shall wake its strains,
And tune its lonely Tyre to praise.

WIFE ADvEkTIsED.-A poet of Tonawan-
da, whose better half had absented herself
from his domieile, thus warns the public a
Cainst harboring or trusting her on his ac-
count:
Eunice, my wife, has gone quite lewd
And left me in a lonesome mood.
She's gone in spite of friends or church,
And went to live with Timothy Merch.
She left my board, and took my bed,
She carried of my meat and bread.
Know ye, therefore, who read this paper,
That since she has cut this reckless capor,
will moi pay one single fraction
For any debt of her contraction.

GOLDEN Treasure; Book Divine
Simple, beau,eous, pure, sublime!

Find their richest gems in thee
Truth and love in flaming light
Burn upon thy pages bright.
Ages hidden in the past
Are upon thy mirror cast
Oh! thou art a glorious guide
Der life's dark and boistrous tide.
For when doubts and myste ries reign
In the troubled human brain.
And Eternity doth seem
Only as a wondroas dream
Then thy spirit DER the night
Gives the mandate, Let be Light
Then be mine thou priceless boon,
Light my pathway 10 the tomb,
And when lfe's short reign is done
Give me to higher home.

How he such an ass could be-
See him wet and sore and weary.
Stretched upon the cold hard ground
Ask him if Homes joys so CHEEKY.
Are not with a halo crowned
And if in that home is dwelling
Wife, or child or sister dear,
While his heart for them is swelling

MY YOUNGEST.
GY REV. DANIEL SHARP, u. d.


RY REV. DANIEL SHARP, u. ID.
They say my youngest is aPet'
And has toe much her way
Ii can'tbe so think, and yet,
would not dare say nay.
For If my memory serves me right
Aud truth must be confessed.
Each youngest that has blessed my sigh,
Has seemed to be loved best.
The Oldest was to me most dear,
SO was the next-so all;
The youngest came my age to cheer
On her my love did fall.
'Tis not that she i. loved the most,
But she Is loved the last;
The youngest may my fondness boast,
But so could all the past.
My youngest, then, is not pet
More than each child before;
think so. certainly aud yet
They say love her more.

Chicago and Galcna Railroad.

A correspondent of the New York Tribune
writing from Dixon, ILL.,, under date of the 22nd
ult., gives the following facts and very just and
sensible conclusions ...E
| left Chicago, that beautiful city of the Lake
and the Prairie, on Monday morning, taking the
Galena and Chicago Railroad, but striking off
on the branch to the hourishing village of ST.
Charles, on Fox River The main road is now
completed and in operation from Chicago to Ell
gin, a distance of 45 miles, and its earnings am
told amounted, in the month of May, to the sum
Of f$l 900, and this, too, at season of the year
after the farmers had sent all their produce to
market. 1t is ascertained that this small por-
ton of the road will pay dividend Of at least
20 per cent to the stockholders this year. If
that portion of the road pays such dividend
now, it may be we'll to enquire what will the
whole road pay after it reaches its terminus at
Galena, with the rapidly augmenting improve
ments Of this magnificent country As I look
upon it, there is no such country in the United
States over which to build Railroad, and there
is no road now in existence that will pay SO great
a dividend TO its stockholders.

NOpartyiSnl.


The greatest, if not the only truth, uttered by
Col. Henderson, in his speech here, was his pro.
fession Of nopartyism. He certainly belongs tc
no party, as no living party in this country
would dare to advocate the doctrines which he
processes The Wings have no place for such
doctrines on their visible platform. They may
have some out-of-the-way planks sticking out
behind, like the seat on the back of a coach or
which the footman is allowed to stand; and here
they may permit Col. Henderson to occupy q
temporary position.
We are inclined to think that this is the case
and this belief compels us to think, that if Col
Henderson is honest in the advocacy of his doc
trine, his Wing friends are the greatest political
hypocrites who have ever struggled for power
How can the Whig party-how can individ
ual Wings consistently support Col. Henderson
for Congress' They can't do it. They dare
not subscribe to his sentiments; how can they
approve, in anticipation, of his action based up
on these, to them, repugnant doctrines. Ifthey
vote for Col. Henderson, they must talsify their
own position. IF they stultify themselves, what
are thevo

Tribune Of the 9th says:-"The Chester Co
Bank, Pa, the Phoenix Bank, Westerly r. l.,
and the Dorchester and Milton Bank, Mass, re-
fuse to redeem their notes except on certain con-
ditions, on the plea that they have been robbed
of large amounts of notes. Remittances from
respectable bankers in the street to these banks,
for redemption are returned without satisfac-
ton. '.
Suclrare the invariable effects of banking
They always have and ever will find pretexts
to evade there just responsibilities, yet, such are
institutions which the Wing party would force
upon us if that party had the power. We refer

STREET DIALOGUE. No. 3.-Goinr to the
Cnpcs.--Wc cannot say that VIC overheard the
following conversation, for it carried a
bovc our heads All that we saw of the speakers
was the upper portion Of two female forms pro-
truded through third story windows of opposite
house, in-aly. The names of the ladies'
who conducted the dialogue at such Il considc
| rabie elevation, we discovered to be Mrs. Barnes
! and Mrs. Leslie.
Mrs. B. Goodness. Mrs. Leslie, this will
be steaming hot day! Is mt it most time we
were off to the Capcs:
Mrs. l.. Oh, time enough, Mrs. Barnes -
None but the sccond-ratcrS have gone yet. The
first chop always holds back, you know.
Mrs. B. My man swcars he won't 90 till |
| finish his new drilling pants. He's got pair OF
very good nankecns, too, but he thinks them not
stylish enough for Cape May
Mrs. L. Well, you see, Mrs. Barnes, it's no
! use to waste much money that way, seeing that
you'll want all you can rake and scrape when
you get there. Anything is good enough for a
man to wear, for he can skulk about and hide
himself a good deal through the day. And then
yeu may tell people that he's eccentric and ta-
kcs delight in looking shabby Put all you can
on your own back, Mrs, Burnes, for the ladies
must shine out There's no excuse for them,
poor things! if they don't make It gentecl figure.
Mrs. B. That is just what | told Barnes
Nucl Id"tu llIe dDouL LllaI new HHuTcu
satin dress of mine. Says l, 'Mr. Barnes, you
ought to consider that it was my econ omizng
and good management that enabled me to do it,
and so it was, for kept Bobby away from school
three quarters, and that just saved money enough
to buy the dress.
Mrs. L. Well, thank goodness! my old fell
low never grumbles much. He brings me his
wages every Saturday, and never asks what do
with it. When begin to save money to spend
at the Capes, it goes pretty hard with him too,
for he has to live on dry diet. He looks so
mserably too, sometimes, when he finds moth
ing for dinner but dish of boiled turnips or the
like, that can't help plying him. But do the
best | can; for it takes great deal of money to
get what one wants at Cape Muy. 1--we got
bat four different silk dresses to wear down there
this season.
Mrs. b. might have come out in little
better style, if Barnes was mt so awful extrava-
giant. Don't you think, he spends ftp every
week for tobacco! cut piece ont of news
paper and pasted it in, his hat, as kind of hint
for him. 1t was a calculation to show how much
sixpence week would come to in thirty wears
But it did mt do him any good, for he keeps on
chaeoing just as much ever. lss. H.
BY this time, the broken down wheel barrow
which had obstructed the narrow pavement, ant
given us pretty good excuse for pausing te
hear the dialogue, was repaired and moved on
Decorum obliged us to do likewise; but for hal
an hour after, we thought of nothing but the
heartless extravaganza of Mr.. Barnes, who robs
his interesting family by spending sixpence a
week for such nasty article as tobacco.

Gold will soon begin to pour down to sacra-

Quicksilver IN Cuiifornia.-Some idea may
be formed ofthe value of these quicksilver mines
in California, from the following extract of a
letter from Gov: Burnett of California, which
he addressed to friend, in Washington:
"The quicksilver mine of New Almadcn with
in II miles of this place, is valued at several mil
lions of dollars. In few days, Mr. Fo1bes in
forms me, they will have twenty six retorts in
operation, and will extract 5000 lbs. daily,
worth from $4,000 to $8,0OO-more than two
millions annually. Only think of that! This
is only one of several mines, but it is the lar
gest.
