CROSSING THE ATLANTIC Commumpaw,
The London correspondent of the Boston Post,
gives the details of the new route by which it
is confidently predicted that passengers will,
within the next five years, be carried from Bos-
ton to London within seven days. There seems
nothing improbable about it. He says:
"When the railroad is finished from Galway
to Dublin, which will probably be during this
year, line of steamers must be opened from
Galway to Halifax and Boston. Then trav-
eller can attend church in Boston on Sunday,
take an evening or midnight train for Halifax,
fafter that great Yankee and British down-east
railway" is done,) and on Monday start for Gal
way, arrive in five or six days, and in twelve
hours On sea passage from Dutlin to Holyhead
of four hours,) arrive in London, via Dublin,
Holyhead, the Britannia bridge, and Birmingham
and be in the British metropolis to attend d.
vine service seven days utter he was in Boston.
This is no fable, but will be realized within five
years; provided that the Halifax and Portland
railway is built; and will be within one day of
it, if not built The Liverpool merchants will
fight stoutly against that Galway packet station,
but the mail service Of the two countries de-
mand and will have it. And farther it will oren
up field for the regeneration of Ireland, by
sending travel traffic, business, and money into
the country"

A WELCOME TO KOSSUTH.
BY HOWARD Chiffon.

Once in an age mind appears,
That seems by will of heaven ordained
To gather in the thoughts of years,
And show to man what man hath gained.
And, be he martyr at the stake,
Or hero on the well-fought field,
Millions do battle for his sake,
And know not to retreat or yield.
But gaining on the Future still,
Old errors fall before their way
Like clouds before the sun, until
The morning broadens into day.
Such was our Washington, who stood
Before mankind, with purpose high,
And showed them how to carve the good
From forth the age then rolling by.
Since his, no name in patriot ranks
Hath shone with milder steadier ray,
Nor more deserved the bondsmans thanks,
Than his who is our guest to-day.
A welcome then to our free land,
Unto the Magyar, tried ana true
Though foled himself, the good he planned,
The Future yet shall carry through

BETRAY NOT CoNrIDENcE.-For once that Sc
cresy is formally imposed upon you, it is i'm
piled hundred times by the concurrent cir
cumstancos. All that your friend says to you,
as to his friend, is intrusted to you only. Much
of what man tells you in the hour of affiiction,
in sudden anger, or in any outpouring Of his
heart, should be sacred In his craving for
sympathy, he has spoken to you as his own
soul. uoa
To repeat what you have heard in social in
tercourse, is sometimes a sad troachery; and
when it is not treacherous, it is often foolish.
For you commonly relate but part of what
has happened, and even if you are able to relate
that part with fairness it is as still likely to be
misconstrued as a word of many meanings, in
foreign tongue without the context. p
There are few conversations which do not
imply some degree of mutual confidence, how
ever slight. And in addition to that which is
said in confidence, there is generally something
which is peculiar, though not confidential which
is addressed to the present company alone,
though not confded to their secrecy. 1t is
meant for them, and they are expected to un-
derstand it rightly. aAf

ADMIRABLE TAsTE.-The extreme good sense
of Madame Kossuth, the wife of the iustrious
exile, is very apparent, from the reply made by
that lady to the address Of deputation of fe-
male belonging to some "Woman's Rights"
Convention in England. After listening with
polite patience to their farrago Of transcendent-
al nonsense, Madame K remarked "that she
thanked them heartily for this proof of their
sympathy towards herself, and through her, more
particularly towards her country that with re-
spect to her own views on the emancipation Of
women she had confined herself to the circle of
her domestic duties, and had never been tempt
ed to look beyond it, and that lately the over
whelming course of events had left her, as might
be supposed, still less leisure for any speculation
Of this kind.
1t twoud, moreover, (such was the conclusion
of her little speech, be readily forgiven her, the
wife of Kossuth, man, whom the general voice
not more than her own heart, pronounced distin-
guished, if she submitted herself entirely to his
guidance, and never thought of emancipation"
The true wisdom of the sex spoke never more
pontedly, than in these few but well selected
words of the wife of one of the most remarka-
BILE men of the age, and are sufficient evidence
to US, that Kossuth has, indeed, helpmate and
counsellor worthy Of him, in the wife of his

asked the astonish.

"What does she mean!" asked the astonisl-
ed oarsman. r,t
"Anna had the babe in her arms when | If
ted her down to you," replied the excited and
bewildered father -f
| Without another word, the generous boat
man plunged into the water again, and gIided
here and there in search of the lost In vain
the lights flashed hither and thither, throwing Il
long streak of brightness to the shore. Moth
| ing was visible, and hope sank in the hearts of
the lookers-on who had gathered upon deck,
and even the harsh captain pitied the mother,
as he heard her agonized sobs, when the search
was abandoned, and the boatmen returned, chill
ed and weared; from his fruitless efforts. No
one spoke, and many eyes still anxiously watch
ed the ruf1ed waters. Amid the silence, save
the half stihed grief Of the bereaved mother,
the boat glided slowly away, the oars dipping
lightly in THE waters that had embosomed the
sleeping babe. On and on they softly moved,
till the boat lights glimmered in the distance.
and they could sec the wayy lines Of the shore
and the dark, dreary wood that bordered it.
Close upon the shore stood few hamlets
and here, in the midnight darkness, they left
the moneyless gambler his stricken wife, and
the half drowned Anna. Poor Mary sat moan
ing upon the river bank, clasping her only re-
naming child, and straining her gaze afar upon
the water in search of the lost one. The con-
science stricken father fastened to the nearest
cottage for relief, while the skiff pushed from
the shore, and returned to the steamboat, which
in a little time was noisily pushing and putting
along the river, and leaving far behind the bro
ken group that had been despoiled of their trea-
sure.
Quiet was again restored among the passen-
gers, and each returned to their dreams, or
his waking thoughts of the unhappy midnight
scene--some to mpathize-some to censure---
all soon to forget, in the busy whirl of life the
sad lesson, that however man may err, woman
is the greatest sufferer thereby, and few if any,
to profit by the warning Of the gamblers mis-
fortune.
