he was dying; there was no hope.

The young man then'dropped the pistol
which he held in his hand, and walking
into the next room, he, with deep sob,
approached the corpse of the unhappy
girl. He kissed convulsively the pale
face.

no steps to prevent him from leaving the

it was unquestionably my duty to detain

at the shots, and were collected round
the parlor door, fancying that he had gone
for assistance. When heard the street
door shut, somewhat recovered from my

Before any one could stir, Mandelholme

MOUNTAIN DEW.

Or morning or of evening dews
Sings not my soul-enraptured Muse,
But what the sly Highlander stills,
Upon his wild romantic hills.
One drop of this delicious "dcw," "
With such friend, dear Judge, as you,
Makes all the kind affections flow,
And e'en the coolest heart to glow.
Soon as we taste the "Mountain dew"
The past is of brighter hue;
Like heat applied to secret ink,
It brightens memory's dullest link.
And, if little more we take,
Our thoughts still brighter will it make;
And scenes long faded and forgot,
Become once more shining spot.
Then, like old soldiers fight we o'er,
Our battles, fought in days of yore-
(Our battles in the field of Venus,
No others ever came between US.
The "dew" that sparklcs now so bright,
Makes all the cares of life look light
Makes life itself, tho dry and scar,
Still fresh and green as youth appear.
Like oil once poured on Aaron's head,
The "dew" is DER our feelings shed;
The kindly influence we feel,
Upon our inner senses steal.
Not Hclicon's long-boasted Spring,
Whence issues all our power to sing,
With such inspiring nectar flows,
AS that which in this goblet glows.

Twas sitting one morning in my study,
culling from my notes some Of the most
interesting records of my diary, when my

Immediately rang the bell, and when
my servant appeared, said
"Bring me eggs, and soap and water

Accustomed to obey me promptly, the
man instantly left the room, when there
came such laundering knock at my
street door, that thought it must have
broken in.

EXCELSIOR,

DoN'r HunRX.-We heard pathetic
tale of a gentleman, now very poor, who
was deprived of a large estate once in
consequence of being in too much of a
hurry. A dying man had quarreled with
his heirs, and was determined they should
not have his money: He had made a
will, giving all his money to this individu-
al, which only wanted his signature. His
sands were running low, and calling his
friend, bade him take the will from the
drawer and bring him the inkstand. Tears
blinded the unfortunate donee's eyes, as
he excctcd the command. He seized a
small bottle from the mantle piece, and
dipping. the pen, the testator wrote his
name, lay back and died. The will was
put back in the chest, and the old man
was buried, but when they came to look
for the will they found it had no sigma
ture. Alas the truth was plain--in his
haste for the ink, he had got the wrong
bottle, and the will was signed with
paregoric. So the heirs got it after all.

A New KIND OF FEscE.-Mr. John r..
Remengton, of Montgomery, Alabama, Ohe
inventor of the Remington Erial Bndge}j
has patented n new and useful invention, Ie +
is a cement, for making solid fences, as duFa--
Bile as granite, and at very reasonable cost
of construction. The chief ingredient IS,
SAND, and it can be easily manufactured by.
plantation hands. The cement panels arer'
conveyed 10 the spot where the fence is toboe
located, and the two legs of eaelile into.the
ground like common posts. The cost to'the
planter is estimated at 10 cents per panelof
ten feet by five-four inches thick-sfar cheap
cr than the wire fence. It does not, or at
least should not detract from the merit of
this invention that it halls from. Alabama,
