BLACK NosEs.-We have heard Of
" black eyes," "bluc noses," as well as
"Ncz-perces," or "Pierced noses,'' but
it required the ingenuity of the Ken
tucky Legislature to propose law to
blacken mans nose. We see that a
resolution has been introduced into the
Kentucky Legislature, which provides
that "the keeper of the Penitentiary
shall procure a suitable chemical dye,
such as will stain the cuticle or outer
surface of the skin perfectly black, so
that it cannot be washed off, or in any
way removed, until time shall wear it
away, and nature furnish new cuticle,
or surface, and with this dye he shall
have the nose Of each male convict
painted perfectly black, and renew the
application as often as it may be neces-
sary to keep it so, until within one
month Of the expiration Of his sentence,
when it shall be discontinued for the
purpose Of allowing nature to restore
the feature to its original hue, prepara-
tory to the second advent Of its owne,
into the world .'-Detroa Daily .4as.

MY MOTHER.

OlO n Hkhs
My mothers voice! How. often creep,
Its cadence on my lonely hours,
Like healing OH the wings of sleep,
Or dew ON the unconscious flowers.
l might forget her melting praper,
While 'wildering pleasures madly fly;
But in the still, unbroken air,
Her gentle tones come stealing by;
Aud years of sin and manhood fee,
And leave me at my mothers knee.
l have been out at eventidc,
Beneath the moon-lit sky Of spring,
When earth was garnished like bride,
And night had on her silver wing;
When bursting buds and dewy grass,
And waters leaping to the light,
And all that makes the pulses pass
With wilder flectness, thr,' the night
When all was beauty, then have
With friends on whom my love is flung
Like Myrrh on wings Of Araby,
Gazcd up where evenings lamp is hung
And when the heauteous spirits there
Flung over all its golden chain,
My mothers voice came on the air,
Like the light dropping of the rain;
And resting on some silver star,
The spirit of a bending knee,
I've poured deep and ferycnt prayer
That our etcrniy y might be-
To rise in Heaven like stars by night,
And tread living path Of light.

MY MOTHER.

This beautiful little production, pays
well-merited tribute to a mother-and
where is the man, who does not breathe
that sacred title with emotions that thrill
the human heart, whenever it is pro-
nounced! The stanzas which follow
were written by Mr.. Nathaniel P. Will
lis, many years ago, while at sea. They
reflect honor on his muse, and arc wor-
thy Of his eminent reputation.

'Oh, DON'T cried his daughter, seizine
one of his coat-tails, while his wife cluna
to the other. 'Don't!' chorussed both
the women together.
Let 60 my raiment, shouted the old
deacon. 4 amt afeard of the powers
of darkness
But the women would not let 20; SC
the deacon slipped out Of his coat, and
while, from the sudden cessation Of re-
sistance, they fell heavily on the floor,
he darted forward, and laid his hand up
on the clock-case. But-no human pow
er could open it. Joe was holding ii
inside with death grasp. The old dea-
con began to be dreadfully frightened.
He gave one more tug. An unearthly
yell, as a fend in distress, bursts from
the inside, and then the clock-case,
pitched head-foremost at the deacon,
fell head-long on the floor, samshed its
face, and wrecked its fair proportions.
The current Of air extingused the lamp
the deacon, the old lady, and Sally,
fed up stairs, and Joe Mayweed, extri-
eating himself from the clock; effected
his escape in the same way in which he
entered.
The next day all Appleton was alive
With the story Of how Deacon Barberry's
clock had been bewitched, and though
many believed his version, some, and
especially Joe Mayweed, affected to dis
credit the whole affair, limiting that the
deacon had been trying the experiment
Of tasting frozen cider, and that the va
.aries of the clock-case existed only in a
iistcmpered imagination.
However, the interdict being taken
Off, Joe was allowed to resume his court
ing and won the consent of the old peo-
pie to his union with Sally, by repairing
the old clock till it went as well as ever.

The COLORADO AND RIO VIRGIN
SrupENDous CATARACT.-From Capt.
Walker, the celebrated mountaineer,
the San Francisco Herald derives very
interesting facts, concerning the char
acteristics of the Great Basin and its
borders. We quote portion Of the
account:
GA wide valley extends on this side
of the Colorado from its mouth about
one hundred and fifty miles up. Capt.
Walker thinks the Mohave must empty
into the Colorado near the head of this
valley. From Walkers pass to the Col
orado, he says railroad could be built
without foot of grading He struck
the Colorado little south of the mouth
Of the Rio Virgin, and travelled up the
river until he came to the Virgin. This
last stream heads in the Sou Watch
mountains, runs in southerly direction
and enters into the Colorado just above
the Big Canon. It's mouth is a wide
sandy bed, with very little water-in
fact, it shows much more water one
hundred and fifty miles up stream; this
IS owing to the fact that it frequently
sinks and runs into the sand. Sewer
river drains the northern slope Of the
Sou Watch mountains, and runs north
Captain Walker, in one of his tramps,
passed over from the head waters of
the Sewer to those Of the Virgen-he
says the country between them is more
cut up than any he ever me with on
this continent. To use his own express
sion, it is torn all to pieces with canons.
On the upper Virgen there are two
very remarkable falls. One of them,
about two hundred miles from its mouth
is the most stupendous cataract in the
world it falls in an almost unbroken
sheet distance Of full one thousand
feet! The river some distance above
traverses pretty timbered valley, and
then runs Though canon. Here the
current becomes rapid. The mountain
seams to run directly across the river
At the falls the stream is narrowed to
thirty OR forty yards, while the canon
rises on either side in almost perpendic-
ular cliffs to the height of two hundred
feet. The pent up stream rushes on to
the brink Of the precipice, leaps over
and falls with scarce break, into the
! vast abyss below. Capt. Walker de-
scribes the sight aa grand beyond dcs-
cription. About thirty miles above
there is another magnificent fall. Here
the river plunges over the cliff, falls a
distance Of two or three hundred feet,
and breaks into a myriad Of fragments
upoa projecting ledge beneath. AL
though the fall is not SO great as the
other, it is more picturesque, from the
multitude of smaller cataracts into
which it is divided by the rocks.

A MAN RESTORED TO LIFE AFTER
Ten MoNTH's BuRlAL.-Thc suLjoincd
extract from the Paris Journal of Mag
net'sm, which quotes as its authority a
very remarkable book published by Mr..
Osborne, an English officer, on his re-
turn from the Court of Bunjesting, in
India. We must also add, that Gen.
Ventura, who was witness to this ex-
traordinary transaction, testified to the
correctness Of the statement when he
subsequently visited Paris. Mr.. Os-
born says:
At the end of some preparation that
had lasted several days, and which We
will not here mention, the Fakir deelar-
ed himself in readiness for the inter-
ment; the witnesses met around a tomb
of mason work, constructed expressly to
receive him. Before their eyes, the
Fakir closed with wax with the excep-
ton of his mouth) every aperture of his
body through which the air might be
admitted; then he stripped off all his
clothing. He was then inclosed in lin
en- bag, and, by his direction, his tongue
was turned back, so as to enclose the en-.
trance to the throat. Immediately after
this operation, the Fakir fell into a leth-
argic state; the bag which contained him
was then closed and sealed by the Ra-
jah. The sack was then placed in a
wooden box, which was locked with a
paddock and sealed. The box was then
lowered into the tomb, over which was
thrown great quantity of earth, which
was trampled down and then sown with
barley; finally, sentinelswere set to watch
it day and night.
Notwithstanding all these precau.
tions, the Rajah was still suspicious, and
came twice during the ten months that
the Fakir was buried, and caused the
tomb to be examined. He found the
Fakir precisely as he had left him, and
perfectly cold and inanimate.
The ten months having elapsed, they
proceeded to the final examination
Gen. Ventura and Capt. Wade saw the
paddock opened, the seals broken and
the chest raised from the tomb. The
Fakir was removed; there were no indi.
cations of the heart or pulse. In the
top Of the head there remained some
slight sensation of heat. After first
placing his tongue in natural position
and pouring warm water over his body
he began to evince some signs Of life
After two hours he was quite restored
and walked about. This wonderful man
is about thirty years of age-his figure
is unpleasant and his countenance has a
cunning expression. He says that he
had delicious dreams during his inter.
ment, and that restoration was very pain.
full to him.

THE DAYS GONE BY.
BIZ CHARLES SW AIN.

The days gone by-'tis sad, yet sweet,
To li-t the strain OF parted hours;
10 think Of those We love to meet
When children, mid i thousand flow
crs!
The scenes We rovcd-romantic, lone
Ere yet our hearts had learned to sis h;
The dreams of glory once our own,
In days gone by-in days gone by!
The days gone by-O! is there not
A CHARM, a feeling in those words
A music ne'cr to be forgot,
Struck from memory 'ssweetest chords.
With many tone to wake a tear,
And many thoug' We fain would Hy;
o! still to every heart are dear,
The days gone by-the days gone by!
The days gone by, they have spell
To burst the cerements of the grave,
And from oblivion's deepest cell
The forms we loved and lost-to save!
Time may not fade those looks of light
Still beautcous to the mental eye,
A. the first hour they blest our sight,
In days gone by, in days gone by!
The days gone by-Man's best essay
One fadcless work to leave behind
Before their might hath passed away,
Like dust upon the desert wind:
The very mountains have grown grey,
Aud stars have vanished from the sky,
The young, the fair--oh! where are they:
With days gone by, with days gone by
The days gone by-from shore to shore
Their ever lengthening shadows spread
Ou-on till time shall breath no more,
And earth itself be with the dead;
Each brief, unnoticed minute, bears
The mandate Of its God on high;
And death and silence are the heirs
Of days gone by-of days gone by!

The LAST SuppER.-A paragraph
from the Cincinnati Gazette went the
rounds of the newspapers, short time
since, in effect that seven young men Of
that city, 81 years ago, agreed to have
an annual meeting and supper as long
as any of their number should survive;
and also stated that only two Of them
were then living. Henry l.. Taten, ESQ,
one of the two, died on Thursday last,
leaving DR.. j. Waiter as the last man
Of the whole party The next annual
supper takes place in October, and the
Gazette remarks:--
"How awful that last supper, when
the sole survivor enters the room, and
sees there the seven plates and the sew
en- chairs, each of which tells him what
shadows we are, and what shadows We
pursue.''

UNcERrAtNTY OF THE LAVA
laughable illustration of the heading o1
this article occurred in Illinois lately, al
will be seen by the following from the
Peoria News:
Mr.. A-was out hunting with his
rife, and crossing the field of Mr.. B.
a Frenchmen, BIS dog attacked
him savagely, while B-stood look
ing on, without attempting to call off his
dog; A-getting out of patience, shot
the dog, and he fell apparently dead
B, in high dungeon, forthwith got
out a warrant, and had A. arrested
for killing his dog; swore to the killing,
and was corroborated by two of his
ncighbors, who were present at the
shooting. The magistrate fined A.
ten dollars and costs, which amounted to
about ten more; A-paid the fine and
costs, and when the parties got home
from the trial, the dog had come home
also, and was not killed. B. then
got out warrant against the French
man and his two associates for perjury,
in swearing A-had killed the dog.
They were frightened, and made peace
with B, paid him back his twenty
dollars, aud ten more for his trouble,
and no trial was had; and when the par
ties returned home from the last suit,
10! the dog was dead.
THE New DIPLOMATIC COSTUME
The following paragraph in letter Of
the Paris correspondent of the London
Times, giving an account of recent I'm
perial levee, should send a thrill of
pride through every American breast:
"Among the Diplomatic Corps, was
of course Mr.. Sanford, the Charge DAT
faires of the United States, who, in COM
pliance with the recent instructions Of
the American Secretary of State, ap-
peared in the simple dress of an Ameri-
can citizen. This unassuming costume,
which presented a striking contrast with
the glitter of embroidery and the blaze
ofstars and crosses around, caused much
sensation, and is topic of conversation
in all the political circles Mr.. Sanford
had previously intimated to the grand
chamberlain's department that he should
so appear. This is, I believe, the first
occasion that the instructions Of the
American government have been car
ried out, as they were this day, faith
fully to the letter. hv Mr.. Sanford -
No one will be disappointed at the
sensation created by Mr.. Sanford's ap-
pearance attired like an American gen.
tleman; the only wonder is that diplo-
matte vanity had never before discover
ed such ready means of self-indulgence.
