Is but a trembling wave of air;
\ touch, obedience to clause
In natures pure material laws.
The very flowers that bend and meet,
In swcctcming others grow more sweet;
The clouds bv day, the stars by night,
Inwcnve their floating locks of light;
The rainbow, Heavens own forchcads braid
Is but the embrace of sun and shade.
How few that love MS have we found
How wide the world that gilds them round
Like mountain streams we meet and part.
Each living in the others heart -
Onr course unknown, our hope to be
Yet mingled in the distant sea.
But ocean coils and hcavcs in vain,
Bound in the subtle moonbcams chain;
And love and hope do but obey
Some cold capricious planets ray.
Which lights and leads the tide it charms,
To Deaths dark caves and icy arms
Alas one narrow line is drawn,
That links our sunset with our dawn;
In mist and shade ifc's morning rose,
And clouds are round it at its close
But all ! no twilight beam asccnds
To whisper where that evening ends.

hotel in broadway at which he had been
living, aud take cheap lodgings in Beck

invitations tn dine than he could accept,
he suddenly found himself without any

4 MYSTERIOUS DIsCOVERY.-On the
lst inst, as the workmen were engaged
in digging a hole upon the common, in
which to set tree, they came upon a
brick arch, which, upon waiting awhile
for the nitrous gas to escape. one of the
workmen descended and explored this
cave. 1t was about ten feet deep, fifteen
in length, and six feet in width. Upon
the north side was an iron door from
which issued flight Of stone steps. This
door was nearly decayed with rust. The
brick were of quaint mould, differing
entirely from any we have ever seen or
heard of before, being of u semi-crcular
shape. Four small jars or pots, of IA Gu
rious form with uncouth heads moulded
upon them, were found in one corner of
the vault; one of which was filled with
amorphous pieces of silver, covered with
yellowish brown mould or crust. The
other three contained Il motley assortment
of jewery Of the most singular form and
make-consisting of heavy gold rings elab-
orately wrought with chasing of beads
and antique armour, entwined IN Scro J.
work and flowers; bracelets, buckles, ear
rings, &c. In a crevice between the
bricks was stuck dagger, which upon
touching, the blade Immediately crumbled
to pieces, being completely eaten up with
rust. The handle, upon "a little rubbing,
proved to be of gold, set with six costly
diamonds.
Here is a problem for antiquarians to
solve. The only clue to this strange af
fair is the inscription found engraved on
the handle of the dagger, which some of
our learned pundits are now trying to
translate; it reads thuss LO.OF., L..

The Language OF JOY AND SORROW
We seemed to be better acquainted with
the miseries than with the happiness OF
life. This is shadowed forth by the fact
that at least in the English language the
words to express what is good and plea
surable, are fewer by great deal than
those for the bad and painful. We have
colors to paint every shade of wickedness,
and strokes for every stage of woe; let
the crime be the blacklist, we can give it
name; let the cup be the bitterest, we
can tell of the very lees. But to tell of
the varying lights of pleasure, and all the
winning ways OF goodness, we are at a
loss; and the most we can say of the
greatest goodness is, that there is an un-
known, an indescribable charm about it;
the most we can say of the highest bliss,
that il is unutterabe.
