New PURCHASE FOR LlsERIA.-The New

made new and valuable purchase ofland
IN Africa for Colonization purposes. !,
lies beyond the previous bounds Of the col.
ony, interior, in nor,h.eas.erly direction
from Cape Mesurado, between the St.
John's and 81. Paul's rivers, and contains
about two hundred and fifty square miles,
or 100000 acres. lis nearest point il
about twenty miles from the coast. It !.
represented as having beautiful elevation,
M abundance Of sweet cool waier, in run,
ming brooks from the mountains, over white
pebbiy bottoms, excellent timbered forests,
a plenty Of brick clay, and, what is more
note wor,hy,a a good supply ofgranite stone
suitable for building purposes. Some ol
the brooks have elevated banks from FIVE 70
sixty feet high, and offer excellent mill
sites.
The whole tract was purchased Of the
ns,iyes for small sum, and what is speci.
ally gratifying is, that a strong desire was
expressed BY the native kings and their
people 10 have the colony established with
in their borders, that they might enjoy the
protection and advantages Of instruction
which il would afford them. The site Of .
town had been selected, aud twenty five

TnE PuzzLED DRovER.--The Wheeling
Argue tells tho following anecdote;-A
gentleman who has been driving horses for
twenty years Or more, from the West TO
our Eastern markes, came into town With
a drove Of fine horses, part Of which were
lost on the sinking Of the unfortunate New
York, on the 24ih ult. Hc drove his ami
mails TO the livery stable here, and on
counting them missed ono oi the number.
lie counted again, found no was the loser,
and rode hastily down to the boat, but ne
intelligence could be obtained there Of the
lost horse. He rode back 10 The stables,
offering reward for the missing beast. and
almost gave up in despair Of recovering T..
But be soon dismounscd the horse he was
riding-counted again and 10! tho number
was correct. He declares be will never
look for the lost critter again until be takes

III weep a!ons!' In piteous tone,
A gentle lady cried,-
.Ths ewes are dim, once dear to him,
Who praised them for their pride:-
Aiss: the day,
He crossed my way,
Whose silycry nccents stole
IN gushing sea
OF melody,
Across my listening SOULS
.Fain, shadows fall upon the wall,
The sun hath long gone down;-
The hearth is bright in the red Goals light,
And stars the evening crown
Alas! the day,
He crossed my way,
Who poisoned thus my hours
The very night
So gemmed with light,
While grief my hear. devours"
"My wild thoughts roam beyond my home
T'hcy sour through darkling space!
70 the haun,s OF men they fly again,
Onc fai,hless form 10 tTace.-
Alas. the day,
He crossed my way,-

Whose silkcn hair

ale clasps her hnnd.-a joyous band
Glide down the echoing fooi,-
The viol sounds, each light foot bounds,
And mirth is brimming o'er:-
Ans. the day,
Hc crossed my ay,-
He whispers love 10 her.
Beware, beware!
oh. lady fair!
Ofyour false worshpper:'
"My bosom owns, those honied tones,
An angel nigh; beguilt;
Blu, grief and wrong, with darker throng,
Follow his dazzling smile!
A.as! the day,
He crossed my wav.
Life has no Joys for me-
Nv hopes lie dead
In their wi,hcred bed,
Like buds on blasted tree.'

TO become Of me? Am | not rich?'

to become of me? Am not rich?'
The preacher, in search Of . consolint
passage, turned rapidly over the leaves
and, in his confusion, came to this passage
which he read:
Go to now, ye rich men. weep and howl
for your miseries that shall come upor
| you. Your gold and silver is cankered
and the rust OF them shall be witness
against you; and shall eat your flesh as i
it were fire; ye have heaped treasures to
gether for the last days. Behold the hirt
Of the Iaborers who have reaped down you
fields, which is Of you kept back by fraud
crieth; and cries Of them who have reap
ed are entered into the ears Of the Lord o.
Sabbaoth.'
sAnd yet you never preached thatto me ?
sbrieked the dying man.
The preacher who had bIunderet
through the passage from James, which w
have quoted, knew not what to say. liz
was perchance terrified by the very look O
his dying parshioner.
Then the wife strove to comfort him
and the son (who had been reading The
will, } attempted word or two Of consola
ton.
And with the Dollar in bis hand be sanl
into death talking Of stock, Of rent, Of cop
per mine and camel, Of tenant and debtor
nntll the breath left his lips. Thus be
died.
When he was cold, the preacher rose
and asked the lawyer whether the decens
ed had left anything TO such and such char
table society, which had been engraflec
upon his church.
And the wife closed his eyes and tried
to wrench the Dollar from his hand, but in
vain. He clu,ched it ms though it was the
oaly saviour to light him through the dark
ness Of eternity.
And the son sat down with dry eyes and
thought Of the hundreds ofthousands which
were now his own.
Next day there was hearse followed
nv train Of carriages nearly mile in
length. There was a crowd around ar
open grave, and an elegant sermon upon
the many virtues o! the deceased by the
preacher.
There was futtering Of Grape badges
and rolling carriages, and-no tears
They lefi the dead man and returned to
the palace where sorrow died even as the
Grape was taken from the door knob.
And in the grave the dead hand still
clcnched the Dollsr.--White Banner.

The PLAIDs-Tartan is all the rage
The furore for gay colors which has pre-
vaiied for the past year is scotched, and,
Judging from what We see, will soon be en-
tirely kik. The bigger the plaid, Tor panta-
looms, the more fashionable they arc and
when the pattern is Of the largest possible
mould, il Is decidedly sthe cheese" We
saw tall lank individual crossing the
Park yesterday; whose spindle legs were
plaided or pannelled, on gigantic scale.
The entire patternson each Of his limbs
consisted Of two uprights and two cross
bars; and looked like scaffolding put up 10
build bis legs with, and left standing by
the careless architect. Th,> girls are oil
Transforming themselves into Gaels; and
one scarcely sees a lady's back that would
not answer TO play at drauehts upon. In
fact We have never known life 80 checker
ed. The gayest of.he smiling throng have
the heaviest crosses. The reign Of the
wstered silks is entirely over, and you see
no ldiaes in the streets Tint are not in
squares. A lady, from the waist down
wards, locks like hait sphere--a celestial
sphere, Of course-marked with lines oi
latitude and longitude. Tho dry goods
stores are besieged by troops Of females in
sesrch Of thick patterns, and every wife
tells her husban nd that she must have q
