There ara hours-dark hours. that
mark the history of the brightest year.
For not whole month in any Of the
millions Of the past. perhaps, has the
sun shone brilliantly all the time and
there have been cold, stormy days in
every year. And yet the lnis,s and the
shadows of the darkest hours were dis
sipated and fitted away. The cruclcst
Of ice fetters have been broken and dis
solved. aud the most furious storm soon
looses its power to harm.
And what a parallel is all this Of hu.
man life-of our inside world, where
the heart works at its destined labors
Here, too, we have the overshadowina
Of dark hours, and many n cold bias,
chills the heart 10 its very core. Blu,
what matters it. Man is horn n hero
and it is only by darkness and storm:
that heroism gains its greatest and bes
development and llus'ra,ion-thcn, il

glory, and the storm bears it more rap

A DISCOVERY Esvpr.

The New York Commercial says that
a most interesting discovery has been
made IN Egypt. i, Is known that there
exists IN Mount Rahahral, situated on
an island in the Red Sea, mine Of
emeraids, which was formerly worked
by the pacbas Of Egypt, but was aban.
doned in the last years Of MeLemet Ali.
An English company have solicited,
and recently obtained authority 10 re.
sume the working of this mine. which 10
believed to be still rich with precious
stones MIR. Allan, the engineer Of the
company. while directing some impor.
,ant excavations in this place. has dis.
covered. at a great derth, traces Of an
ancient gallery, which mus. evidently be
referred TO the most remote antiquity.
Upon removing the rubbish, they found
tools and ancient utensils, ull u stone
upon which is engraved hierb4 4lyphic
inscription, now partially deiaccd. Thi.
circumstance proves the truth of the
opinion expressed by Belzoni. on the
strength of other indications, tha, ,hi.
mine was worked in ancient times.
The nature and form of the imple
ments discovered, and the confgura,ior
of the gallery, the plan Of which has
been readily traced, prove most conclu
sively, that the ancient Egyptians were
skilliul engineers. 1t seems, from cx
animation Of the stone which has been
discovered, that the first labors in til,
mine Of Zabarah were commenced il
tue reign of Sesostris the Great, ol
Ramses Sesostvis, who, according to tn,
most generally received opinion, lived
about 1850 before Christ, and wht
i. celebrated by his immense conquest.
as well as by the innumerable monu
men's with which he covered Egypt.

BE- CivIL.--There is no better mark

The planet and the pebble each goes

THE CHARMS OIL LIFE.

There are thousand things in this
world to atflict and sadden-but oh how
many that are beautiful and good! The
world teens with bcauty-with the OBJ
jects that gladden. the eye and warm the
heart. We might be happy if we would.
There are ills we cannot escape-the
approach of disease and death or mis-
fortune, the sundering of earthly ties,
and the canker-worm Of grief but IL
vast majority Of the evils which besct
us, might be avoided. The course Of
intemperance, interviewer AS it is with
all the ligamcnts Of society, is one which
never strikes but to destroy. There is
not one bright page upon the record of
its progrcss-notling to shield it from
the heart execration ofthe human race.
1t should not exist-it must not. DO
away with this; let wars come 10 an
end; let charity, love. purity and kind
ness mark the intercourse between man
and man. We are too selfish, as if the
world was made for us alone. How
much happier would we be, were we to
labor to promote each others good. God
has blessed US with home which is not
all dark. There is sunshine every
wherein the sky and upon the earth ;
there would be in most hearts, if We
look around US. The storms die away
and bright sun shines out. Summer
drops her tinted curtain upon the Garth,
which is very beautiful, even when au-
tumn breathes her charming breath
upon it. God reigns in heaven. Muir.

can live happier than we do.

The Cuban Instruction.

The attempts to wrest the Island of Cuba
from the dominion of the mother country have
hitherto partaken of such a speculative charac-
ter. and been associated with such Interior,
sinister designs, that they have awakened, as
yet, but little sympathy from the American
people. Few have doubted, however, that in
the process of time. the progress of liberal
principles and the spirit of freedom which en-
anates from our country and its institutions,
would be manifested to such degree there as
to render the dominion of old Spain over this
portion of her desirable territory as feeble and
insecure as human dynasty possibly could
be. Whether this time has arrived, the result
of the present revolt will soon determine
Their prospects certainly look as fair, both as
to the achievement Of their independence and
the preservation of it. after it is secured, as
did those of the French people when they rose
in revolt against the power of Louis PHILIPPE.
The present revolutionary movement on the
island, being Invested of the incentives of for.
mer movements, calls for and receives much
more sympathy from our people than has ever
before existed. We very much mistake the
signs of the times, if they do not foretell the
success of the revolutionists in their present
struggle and their permanent independence
from the arbitrary rule to which they have
been subject. So mole it be.

for making violent assault upon him on the
high seas, on the 9Th of July last. 1t appeared
in evidence that the prisoners went aft to the
Captain with a kid of salt beef and bowl Of
coffee. and complained to him that they must
have better food or they could not work, and
that after some words the Captain knocked the
bowl Of coffee out of Durfees hand whereupor
Durfee struck him severe blow in the face,
and was encouraged to further violence by his
comrades /; that upon the Captain S calling for
his pistols and the mate and others of the crew
making their appearance, Durfee and his con-
federates retreated to the forecastle. and that
Durfee was afterwards arrested and confined in
irons during the remainder of the passage.
The Commissioner held Durfee in the sum
of $500 to answer at the term OF the U. S. Cir

mitted. The others were discharged. -Ports
