A Pilgrim at the Tomb of SiIas Wright.

A Vermont paper. OF a resent date con-
tanned touching communication from a
correspondent at Chicago, suggested TO the
writer by visit 10 the Tomb Of Silas
Wright-the writer says:
"One OF the most interesting places we
visited while i'll Vermont, was Weybridge,
which as you know, is a small town OF
some 500 inhabitants. The spire OF lis
neat church may be seen from the Obser-
vatory OF Mlddlebury College; and few
rods south, the chief object of interest,
VIZ: the monument of Silas Wright, erec-
ted within the past year. On our way 10
visit the monument, we passed the house
in which his boyhood and school days
were passed. 1t is as tenantless as his
own clay, and rootess-a filter emblem OF
physical decay and decomposition than
any marble pile. The monument is sur
rounded by an iron fence, very handsome
ly finished. The structure is of solid
marble from some of the Vermont quarres
near by. do not know lis exact proper
tlons, but It's an immense structure, wor-
thy alike OF the deceased statesman and
his weeping fellow patriots who reared II.
On the east side of the plain column which
surmounts the base, is figure of the head
of the statesman in basso relieve, of the
same marble, and the plain inscription be-
meath, .'Silas Wright" There is no need
of other epitaph. You feel the spell of
his mighty spiri, on you, and the silence

of It's greatness awes you. Snake mour-
tain towering up to the northwest in
snowy grandeur while yet in mid October,
and the lesser hills aro und, seem fit COM
paulons of the structure, and the quiet
murmurs of Lemon-Fair to the west, and
the mountain winds, are fit music around
this earthly resting place of the lamen,ed
patriot.
"There was a mamoth gathering Of souls
when the cap stone of The fabric was laid,
and an essay of fine speeches; but these
mountain winds spoke with louder voice,
and awed the multitude dead. have not
visited any place consecrated to the dead
SO interesting TO me, since a stroll al
Mount Auburn-and even there one is
not SO awed. We expect to feel holy and
subdued there-we prepare our minds for
ii by the memory of the great who rest
there, and the conservation Of its ground
TO the dead-and we enter its sacred por-
tails with the weight Of all haliowed asso-
Citations on our souls-but far up among
the hills of Vermont, in her mountain fast
ness, the sudden view of such a structure
startles the beholder by its novelty, and
subdues by its grandeur. In the Quincy
cemetery at Quincy, Mass, where the his
toric odor of The Revolutionary heroes and
sages hallows all their quiet beds, one is
awed by the stern simplicity of her Quin-
cys' head stones and monument, her Ad-
ans tombs and vaults, and the silence of
the illustrious sleepers is too imposing for
tears. But could not repress them as
stood before the memento of beloved na-
ton weeping in its bereavment and when
we passed the naked walls of the pa,ernal
roof on our way home, the littleness of
earth and matters attractions never seemed
so undesirable.
"There is many leaved book publish,
ed-the Life of Silas Wrighf'-but a
larger volume than ever issued from the
press, is written of his goodness on the
heart memories or those who best knew
him."

The Great Indian Cave.
From Tie Franklin tIaA E,au;


| last week visited newly discovered
cave IN Crawford county, Indiana 1t is
on the right bank of Blue river. For
magnlticence and beauty of scenery, it
promises, when fully explored, to rival
even the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky.-
The EPSON Salts Cave, known for nearly
hall century, and successfully worked
for saltpetre and salts many years since, is
about two miles long, and IN some places
40 or 80 feet wide, and rs feet high; but
has nothing peculiarly Interesting in it ex-

feet in diameter and 25 or 80 feet high. all

Entering this cave under iuttinp rocl,
near the brow of lofty hill, and hescepd-
ing Tor about quarter OF a mile, at an
angle OF 80 or 40 degrees, we entered
small door, and after STOPPING rather un-
comfortably for 60 yards, found ourselves

human tracks were discovered, which
must have remained there for long time,
as the door 10 this part of the cave was so
blocked up with rocks when first discov-
cred that man could not possibly pass.
We soon entered an avenue 40 feet wide,
and varying in height from 10 to 60 feet

finished by the trowel, then suddenly
changing, presents the appearance of di-
versified hanging drapery, and of spotless

FROM the New Orleans Delta.
The Nightingale and her Music.

OF Jenny Lind-of The style of her
music-of the order OF her intellectually
of the soul which she infuses into the
mysterious power of her voice, we have
heard some diversities of opinion express
ed. That her singing is charming, SIM
pie, and blrd-like, all agree; yet fastidous
musical critics there are, who pretend 10
discover faults in her style; a defect in
the expression of some of her notes, and
a want of soul and intellectually in her
general execution.
With those objections of the connois.
seurS we cannot agree. 1t is true that
on her first appearance before all audi
ence, Miss Lind exhibits no forecast OF
her serapbic sweetness. There is moth :
ing in her countenanCe TO indicate the
rich righteousness OF her voice; and her
SOU, nesting in the chambers Of her
heart, refused TO court the sympathies Of
the expectant crowd by speaking from
her eyes, or giving radiance 10 her face.
No sooner, however, do her warnings
commence, than she seems to forget the
presence of ali, save herself; the plain
prose of her counlenance suddenly bios

lips, such de licate harmonies as were
never before hymned BY daughter of
the earth, and might be supposed to 6Il

The la nguage known and felt

fall. Oh! there Is enChaulment, and
fullness, and sllyery inspiration in those
delicious tones; now rich and rolling, as
the solemn swell from seraphic choir.

Instead of being an artistic, as some
have said, "cold, pure, and passionless,''
