Elegant Ballad.

Twas on a cliff whose rocky base
Bafiied the briney wave;
Whose cultured height their vsrdant stor,
10 many tenant gave.
a mother, led by rustic cares,
Had wandered with her child.
Unweaned the babe-yet on the grass
lie froicked aud he smiled.
With what delight the mother gIowed
10 mark the infants JOY,
How Oft would pause amid her toll
10 contemplate her boy.
Yet SOON by othe. cares estranped
Her thoughts the child forsook;
Careless he wanton'd on the ground,
Nor caught his mothers look.
Cropp'd was each flower that met his eve
IilI scrambling o'er the green,
lie gan'd the cliif's uh sheltered edge,
Aud p.edsed surveyed the scene.
Twa' now the mother from her toll,
Turned to behold her child
The urchin gone --her cheeks were fush'd
Her wandering eye was Wild.
She saw him on the cliffs ru le brink.
Now careless peepmg DER
He turn'd aud TO his mother smi'd,
Then sported as be efore.
sunk was her voice-'twAs vain to fly
Twas vain the brink to brave
Oh, Nature!it was thine alone,
10 prompt the means to save.
She tore her 'kerchief from her breast,
And laid her bosom bare;
lie saw, delighted-leit the elf,
And sought TO banquet there.

EB- The Local Of ;he New York TR1B
UNE never penned more agreeable para
groph than this-which he humorousl,
calls "a Queer Process"
III is curious to see the circulation of {
great city commence in the morning-th,
great city that had roared itself to sleep
True, there was feeble pulse all night
the cars beat to and fro; carriage now
aud then gave a flutter, but after all there
had been quiet hour. About half mil
lion of people had been lying on dead
level, for four or five houis; some on pillows
OF down and some on curb stones; some
beneath sllken counterpanes, and some be-
meath the great blue quilt of heaven
Queer hgure they make in the minds eve,
to be sure-500,O00 folks more or less,
lying ON their backs-lying in tiers or rows
live or six miles long-lying three or four
deep. IN the ccllar--'that is, the primitive
formation; the first floor, second, third and
50 on up TO the garret. Three hundred
thousand people snoring-what concert!
Two hundred thousand people dreaming
Two hundred thousand people in red night
caps; one hundred thousand in white, and
here and there one trimmed in lace. Fifty
thousand curls twisted up in papers, giving
their owners an appearance of having made
a pillow of cigar.hghiers. Twenty ,hous
and curls hanging over the backs of chairs
or tossed upon tables, How gently Time
touches such people: they never grow
grey at all! Ten thousand people weeping,
aud now and then, one dying dying in his
sleep; dying in n dream. And then the
getting up is ridiculous enough, though
gong to bed-should we say retire in
these refined times is a solemn piece of
business whether people think of it or not.
But the getting up. the waking up is
Iunny enough for farce-Its proce SIS, a
species of graduaiSm-Here's one who has
slept like top for nine solid hours, and
low he begins To wake first, its hall-lurch
md long breath aud yawn; then an
arm is thrust out, then foot; the muscles
IRE walking up. Next the rattle of the early
wagons strikes his ear; hearing his is com
ng too
Then, his tongne moves uneasily; taste is
'eturning-Last. his eyes opon. one after
he other-then half close, then open again,
md The mans awake-awake all over
wake for all day. There's another, sound
sleep this minute, and this, he shakes
himself like IA huge Newfoundland, springs
Up percussion and the thing is done; the
elbow hasn't sleepy hair about him."

The sagacity ola shetland PONY,

The newspapers tells US a farmer in
Canada who had large number of ponies.
and among them very handsome and
playful one, which was a great fayorite
with little boy about ten years of age
the only child ofthe farmer. One day tho
boy was sent several miles on an errand for
some money, with warning to return be-
fore night, as the country was infested with
robbers His visit was SO delightful that
he forgot the command of his parents, and
did not mount his pony, to return, till it
was quite dark. His road lay through a
ihlck forest, and it was not long before
hlShwayman attacked and dragged him
from his horse, which ran swiftly home.

Meantime his terrified parents sat trem.

clatteslng of hoofs, and soon after loud

the animal, who ran ahead. constantly

through the woods, they came to the place
where the boy had been robbed, and found
h'm tied to tree, stripped of his money

AN AFRICANS WoE.-On Wednesday
evening some scholars from the Mt Au.
burn school were attracted to an alley by
the dismal groans of respectable and
rather dignifed appearing negro, appar.
emily aged sixty five or seventy years. The
white grave-blossoms on the black mans
head where stained and clotted with blood
from two or three gashes on tie fore head
and skull, having the appearance of club
wounds. Water was brought to the sufferer,
and when sufficiently recovered, he confess
ed to being runaway slave from kentucky
He had escaped across the river with three
daughters, the youngest being fourteen,
whom he was anxious to educate in a free
State, or in Canada. The.party had safely
proceeded as far as the foot of Sycamore
Hill, when he was SUDDENLY attacked by a
gang of rowdies, probably from this SIDE
of the river, knocked dowH cut and beaten,
aud left seusiess on the ground. where he
was found by the children. When the
old man came to himself he found that his
daughters had been kidnapped His own
pockets had also been rAed of six dollars
in silver!! It was nearly dark when the
party was attacted, so that the wretched
African is not able to identify the scound-
rels; he is only certain that none of them
were of the vicinity of his masters estate.
They were probably either hired bullies
from rum-holes and brothels. or fellows Of
like character, who stole the negroes and
carried them across the river for sale, or
for an anticipated reward. We learn that
reward ofone thousand dollars has been
offered for the fugitiyes. They were from
Lexington, KY Cincinnati Commercial.

Aud heapedthe clay upon thy breast,
Aud left thee sleeping all alone,
upon thy narrow couch OF rest,

The soothing drops refused TO roll,
And o! that grief is wide and deep
Which settles fearless on the souli
But when saw thy vacant chair,
Thy id'e coat upon the WALL
Thy book. the penciled passage where
Thine eye hath rested last Of all:
The tree beneath whose friendly shafe.
Thy trembling feet had wandered forth;
The very prints those feet had IN ade
When last they feebly trod the earth;
Aud thought while countless ages fed.
Thy vacant seat would vacant stand,
nworn Thy coat, Thy book unread,
Eifaced thy footsteps from the sand;
Aud widowed in the cheerless world
The heart that gave its love to thee:
Torn like The vine whose tendriIs curled
More closely und the fallen tree:
u Husband! then for thee-alone for thee
Gushed mady forth the scorching tears;
Aud oft, and long, and bitterly,
Those tears will gush in future years
For as the world grows cold around,
And things take on their real hue,
Lis sad 10 learn that love is round
Alone above the stars with you!

An ACT or YIIIIANY-

IA few days ago our citizens were startled by
the report that nearly all of the papers in the
suits, civil and criminal pending in the Circuit
court together with the bonds of the county
officers, had been mysteriousy abstractad from
the clerks Office, either concealed or destroyed
We called upon the clerk, Mr.. s. M. Phillips
and obtained the following statement Of the az
fair"
Between Friday the 4th inst, and Monday
following one hundred and fifty files of papers
consist 'ng Of the suits that were brought at the
last (AIay) term Of the circuit court Of this
county were stolen from the circuit clerks Of
/ flee. Also an the indictments in the criminal
cases found at that term 1t was ascertained
that the papers were missing from the circuit
clerks Office on Monday morning the 7th. Dill.
igent search was made without any satisfactory
result until Sunday last the 18th inst, when It
was discovered that the cobwebs in two or
three Of the holes III the walls beneath the
fioor}o the court house were broken and the
holes presented the appearance Of something
having been pushed through them. "A hole was
cut ID the floor and all the papers civil and
criminal were found I appears that al the
bonds Of the county officers were sloIen
about the same time from the Probate clerks
Office. These bonds have not yet been
found.
II Is due Mr. Phillips to state that he has
during his incumbency exercised the greatest
care ii the management of his Office never en-
trusting his keys to any one except his deputvs.
It ii also proper TO state that there are one 81
two keys in the court house 81 which an en-
trance into the various Offices may Be easily
effected, and Il IS probable that tho depredator
of this Tillain0ns act BIZ some have cot IN pos
session of one Of them. There Is d great
mystery connected with the case which furthe
developments may dispel
