From the Ladies Keepsake.
ALONE.

ALoNE-upon the wide, wide worldl
IT'S hard to dwell alone
To catch no look of human love,
To list no gentle tone, .
But wander through life's busy crowd,
"Lone as the corpse within its shroud."
AIone-'tis hard to sit and weep
In some untrodden shade,
Der all the wrecks of life and JOY
A few bright years have made;
To trace the links Of that bright chain
Which time will meier unite again.
Alone-'tis agony for one
OF spirit proud and strong,
To feel life's pulses ebbing fast
Before the worlds cold wrong;
And sternly bide each pang of fate
That leaves the heart so desolate.

several men and women who have maintained
respectable positions, left that town for North
Western Virginia, on Tuesday last, in obedi-

not made public, but it is supposed they will
there await further manifestations.

THE CONSEQUENTIAL Lowell editor says ::
ave passed the store of the man who don't adj
vertise, yesterday. One clerk was cleaning his
fingers with the scissors, another balancing his
yard stick as he sat lstlessly on the counter,
while the proprietor, with the same lugubrious
expression that an unbreeched urchin wears
when he drops his dumping and the dog snaps
it, was measuring out by PAGES the distance from
one end of the shop to the other. Plenty of
customers, like the priest and the Levite, passed
on the other side"

Dear Gray.-Tbe town has beeninsgrea
commotion ever since the advent Of th'
Rochester Knockers, the Mrs. Fish an q
Miss, Fox. After the first two or three ex.
hibitions the rush to their rooms was ire
mendous. The city was all excitement
and'nearly all who visited# the exhibition.
,were conrineeds sofithe reality Of the rap
pings as sdiritual demonstrations Some
doubted, some id the whole as an arrant
humbug. Among the latter were three
learned Professors Of the Buffalo Univ crsi.
ty, who undertook by theapotency of their
names and the power Of their logic to turn
the ia bles upon the sSpiritualists. They
claimed the sounds were produced by jack
ing the knee joint y a horse laugh phifos-
ophy. An impossibility, for spiFits' weald
sometimes rap on the floor, making one
sound, then on the wall, making another,
and then again on the sofa, making quite
another; when as theasjack knee" they
would make the sounds all alike. This Eek
pose "zwas ikesthat famous gun sga.a .sN
