THE LIFE CLOCK.

There is a liule mystic clock,
No human eye hath ser'i'
That bsa,eth on and aeatcth Oh
From morning until cen.
And when the soul Is wrapt IN Sleep
And heareth not a sound,
T, ,,.ts and ticks the livelonI night,
And never runneth down.
oh wondrous is the work OF art,
That tells the passing hour,
Rnt "Art" ne'er formed or mind conceived
The life clocks magic power.
Nor set In gold, nor dscked in gems
By Pride or Wealth possessed,
But Rich or Poor or High or Low,
Each bears il in his breast.
When LIES deep stream mid beds OF flowers,
All still and softly giides.
Like the wavelct's STEP with gentle oeu'.
II warns OF passing tides.
When passion nerves the warriors arm.
For deeds of hate or wrong,
.rhouph he eded not the gentle sound,
The knell is deep and strong.
When eyes TO eyes are gazing soft,
And tender words are spoken;
Then fast and wild ii rattles on,
AS If with love 'twere broken.
Such is the clock that measures life,
OF flesh and spirit blended,
And thus twill run within the breast,
Till that strange Life is ended.

HORRIBLE MOST HORRIBLE.

We heard the particulars on Saturday Of
one OF the most horrible affrays which has
occurred in the South for number of years,
and which recalls all those tragedies enacted
by the desperadoes of the primitive TIME. AZ
near as we could learn them, the circumstan-
ces are as follows: While the steamer
Dresden was at Helena on Thursday night
last, woman with her four children were
sitting around the stove in the engine room,
when lot of Irishmen attempted to drive
them away, when she appealed to The by
ISLANDERS to assist her as she was alone and
unprotected. A lion.hearted Kentuckian,
Immediately stepped forward to her protec-
ton, when he was attacked by the ruff an
Irishmen and general fight ensued. Pistols
and knives were used, and the combatants
struck and shot indiscrimina:ely. scene
is represented as being one ofthe most bloody
and desperate struggles ever witnessed. 30
soon as the smoke of battle had cleared away
sufficient to ascertain the result, it was dis.
covered that three Irshmen, and a woman
who was lying in a berth near by, had been
killed. The Kentuckian was horribly mutila-
ted; being cut to pieces BY the weapons In
the hands Of the Irishmen. We did not learn
the names Of any of the parties. The affair
rested great excitem ent at Helena, where,the
Kentuckian was left on the wharf boat.

PUTTING MADE EASY.

Under this hear the New York Herald has
a curious article. We like honest confession
1T is said to be good for the soul. We
present our readers very fine specimen. The
Herald editor says; 60 l.-...'.. .r.
"Twenty years ago-in ls32-wben we
were stationed at Washington as editorial
correspondent of the Courier and Enquirer,
we aided and assisted in that connection in
the advancement Of Marcy-now in the State
office a; Washington--from the position Of
Senator, which he then occupied, to that of
Governor of New York. We took great
pains to puff him, to praise him, to work for
him, and to bring him forward as candidate
for Governor of New York, in opposition to
the Van Buren, influence Of that day At the
very same moment, while we were endeavor-
ing to aid and assist in the advancement of
Marcy, he was ridiculing and traducing US to
those who were opposed to the course which
we were pursuing in his favor, and to save
himself from some of their reproacbes. We
never forgot or forgave Marcy for this mean
ness and cowardce, and we owe great debt
to him, yet, which we mean to pay before he
leaves the Office of Secretary Of State at
Washington"
Let Mr. Marcy stand from UNDER Gin.
