Sometime during the past summer, Q strsT-
ger stopped al one OF the watering places on the
mountain south Of Wsynesboro' Pa Alter his
arrival there lie was taken sick, and for several
days was apparently deranged. OHh recovery
he informed the proprietor Of the house that GU-
ring his illness he had dreamed for three night
IL succession that he had discovered, at Gel
tain distance in tie mountains under rock an
eGrthen crock, containing large amount of sil-
yer. At this the worthy lord expressed his sur
prise, and spoke of IT as mysterious dream.
Afterwards, however, they were walking to
gether IL that direction, when the dream
again adverted 10 By the stranger, and tie pro-
prietor az once proposed Gn examination, to sat
isfy their curiosity. The rock was soon found,
and after carefully brushing the leaves away,
it vas moved, and 10 their utter emaZemept,
theae sat crock full of silver. They took it
on examination il was found 10 contain $500,
TALL in half dollars, which was divided equally
between them. The day after this discovery,
the stranger was about to take his leave Of the
prietor Of the springs, OF the Inconvenience OF
carrying silver, when exchange WAS proposed
and made, the stranger receiving bankable pa
per for his silver. 1t was not long after his de-
parture, however, till the proprietor had made
another diSoovery-LiS four hundred dollars in
silver were counterfeit and LIE had thus been
ingenioUsly swindled out Of two hundred dollars.

My lords, ! believe, and give due credit for It

at present Hear, hear.) l believe that for
all purposes for which its services should be re

10 protect that almost boundless extent Of com
mecee that crosses every sea and fills every port
through the wild world-the state OF our navy
was never more efficient than it is at the moment

The regular army believe also TO be in d state
of perfect efficiency, So far as its numbers are
ooneerned-for, with the extent and variety of

which, in times, even of peace, 80 heavy q load
of military service devolves. Hear, hear. y
But efficient as the army is-well as those who
constitute it are qualified to discharge the du-
ties of their profession if called upon in the SER
vice Of their country-that army, and am hap

condition which renders it impossible that i; can

Prince Lucie,, HTurat.

There are very many in our country who re-
member Prince Lucien Murat the sporting, good
natured soul, who formerly dvelt at one cornsr
ofthe late Joseph Bonaparte's estate, at Borden
town New Jersey, living no one hardly knew
how-wild and reckless-to-day flush with mon
ey, Tomorrow not a shot in the locker
Well, the same jovial Prince has given a prac-
teal illustration of the truthfuIness of Shaks-
peaTes saying, that . there's tide in the affairs
of men, which if taken at the food. leads on to
fortune" The election of Louis Napoleon was
the food tide with him-for he and his family
are now at the head of the heap in France, rich,
courted, living IN grand, royal, superb style.
lie has risen from his obscuritya at Bordentovn
where he so often enjoyed his punch and wine
with boon companions, or startled the wood-cock
along the low banks Of the Delaware-and been
summoned to the height of whatever fame the
French President has TO lend him. He wears
the velvet uniform of a Senator-his finances
are said 20 fourish-and his offspring are gree

making noise in the world, as the following

I'm dying now 4;

Life's sands are falling fast the silver cord
is Ioosed and broken, and the golden bowl
Is shattered at the fount. My sun has set,
And dismal clouds hang DER me, but afar
see the glorious realm of Paradise,
And by its cooling fountains, and beneath
It's holy shades Of palm, my soul viii wash
Away its earthly stains, and learn to dream
OF heavenly joys. Farewell despite thy cold
Desertion, L viii leave my angel home,
Each gentle eve, at our own hour of tryst,
To hold my YigiIs O'er thy pilgrimage,
And with my spirits-pinion | VIII fan
Thy aching brow, and by holy spell,
That / may learn in Heaven, VIII charm away
All evil thoughts and passions from thy breast
And calm the raging tumult of thy soul

AS here I sit

In loneliness, the thought comes Ger ny heart
how side by side in moonHg ght ewes, while soft
The rose-winged hours werehitting by, We stood
Beside the clear and gentlemurmuring fount
Oerhung with wild and blooming vines, and felt
The spirit of a holy love bcdew
Our hearts own budding blossoms. There drank
The wild, oermastcring tide Of eloquence
That flowed from thy o'orwrougLt and burning
soul
There thou 6idst tvinc wreath Of svcotcst
flowers
To shine amid my dark brown locks, and now
Besides Inc lies a bud, the little bud
Thou gayst lin the glad, ight summer time
Telling me twas the emblem of a hope
That soon would burst to glorious life within
Our spirits garden. The poo. fragile bud
Is now all pale and withered, and the hope
Is faded in3my lonely breast and cast
Forever forth from thine.

BY KISS HAITIE GRIyElru.

Why didst thou leave me thus Had memory
No chain to bind thee to me, lone and wrecked
In spirit as I au Was there no spell
on power in my deep, yearning love to stir
The sleeping fountain Of thy scul and keep
Nv image trembling there Is there nc charm
In strong and high devotion such IS Iline
To win thee 10 my side once more ? Must
Re cast forever of for brighter forms
And .ayer smiles Alas. l love thee still.
Love viii not, cannot perish in my heart
Twill liuger there forever. ,Eycun now
In our own dear, sweet sunset time, the hour
OF PASSIONS unforgotten tryst, l hush
The RAGING rumult of my soul, and still
The fierce strife II my lonely breast, where pride
Is fercely struggling for control. Each hue
OF purple, gold and crimson that eits Ger.
The western sky recalls some by-g0ue JOY
That we have shared together, and my soul
Is loves and memOry's.

HITTI4f BACK.-A friend OF ours tells good
story, to the circumstances Of which he was q
witness. Happening il at = celebrated gun
smiths OF this city, short time since, he found
present a number OF persons, some Of whom
were exhibiting their presumed familiarity with
the use Of the gun by the severity OF their jokes
upon the bad shooting Of one of the number, a
tall, thin Yankee, IN whose company they had
evidently been . day or two previously enjoying
the sport of shooting. The Yankee stood the
jokes of his companions very well, by expiana-
ton and retort, until, at length, tie gunsmith
joined IL with the others, with some remark at
his expense. This seemed for time to finish
him of, and he had 10 more to say, until gen
tleman entered the place and inquired Of the
gunsnlith il he kept powder for sale ?

FAMINE IN GERGANY.-Thc accounts FROM vi
enns describe the sufferings from famine to bo
excessive in various parts of Germany
Troubles aud bad government sesE TO have
deprived humble men OF all heart or energy
They have left their fields uncultivsted for miles
lest the rude hands Of some hateful soldiery
should seize or destroy the fruits Of their labor
The consequence of this is something very Ike .
famine in many parts Of Europe. The accounts
from Poland are most disheartenins II the
Carpataians people are literally starving. There
is no bread at all. The inhabitants are said 10
live soup Of some kind, which they call
''reitkamuks," compound of Fat aud milk
or they COOK sort of thick oaten pap, some
thing in appearance like the Italian polenta-
this they call 'skulasha," and eat it in the place
OF bread, and as in all times of great want
crime and dissipation of ell kinds como to swell
the list Of horrors, it is not surprising to lesrn
that something very like anarchy is raging in
the district most affected by the famine.

They tell ne, too,

My brow and cheek are very palo-Alas
There is no Iaore q spirit-fre within
To light it with the olden glow. Life's dream:
And visions all have died within my soul,
And am sad and lone and desolate
And yet at times, when behold thee near,
\ something like the dear old feeling stirs
Within my breast, and wakeus from the tomb
Of vithered memories one pale rose,
To bloom a moment there, and cast around
Its sweet and gentle fragrance, but anon
