MISCELLANEOUS.



Oh wonderful stream 10 the river Time,
AS 1t runs through the realms OF OF tears
With faultless rhythm and musical rhyme,
And broader sweep, and surge sublime,
And blends with the ocean Of years
How the winters are drifting like flakes Of snow,
And the summers like buds between,
And the year in the sheaf they come and they CO.
On the rivers breast, with Its ebb and flow,
As il glides on the shadow and sheen.
There is a musical isle up the river Time,
Where the sottest OF airs are pIaying
There's cloudloss sky and tropical cline,
And song sweet as a vesper chime,
And the Junes with the roses are staying.
And the name Of this isle the Long ago,
And we bury our treasures there:
There are bowers OF beauty and blossoms Of snow
There are heaps Of dust but we loved them 30
There are trinkets and tresses OF hair
There are fragments of song that nobody sings,
And q part Of an infants pruyersj
There's a lutte unswept and harp without string;
There are broken VOWS, and pieces OF rings,
And the garments that she used TO wear.
There are hands that are waved when the fairy shore
BY the mirage is lifted in air.
And we sometimes hear, through the turbulent roar,
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone before,
When the wind down the river is fair.
Oh remember for aye BIO the blessed isle,
All the day Of life till night!
When the evening comes with its beautiful smile,
And our eyes are closing to slumber awhile,
May that greenwood Of soul be in sight.
The Portland Argus relates that Capt X, a
shrewd steamboat captain from the State Of Maine,
caught "Jeremy Diddler" on board Of his boat
one day, as he was making from Boston to " down
cast, " and pinncd-him up in good style. It seems
the fellow laid traverse to get clear of paying his
frc, but insisted to the clerk that he had paid but
lost his ticket
"Whom did you pay " asked the clerk.
He rather guessed it was the captain, SO X. was
summoned to the conference.
20, yes yes" said Capt.K., '.it appears to me
do recolect. Let me see, you gave me a five
dollar billg'
"Ycs," says the Diddler, ~ did"
"And gave you your change in half dollars,
didn't ! ?" (Thc fare was only half dolar--com-
lctition very high.)
yes says Jeremy, !" that's it recollect it
perfectly!o
Very wen" says Capt K, 81 won't dispute
YOUR word for nnything-but IL you please, l
should like to see the hoiees r
The fellow was tripped when he least expected
i. Hecould not produce tho halves, and had to
fork out his fare.

Trans-Alleghany Notes.

There is reason to believe that the State au-
thorities of Virginia are in some perplexity at
present, growing out Of the great depreciation
Of these notes. The taxes for the past year are
due this month, and there can be no doubt that
the sheriffs will pay into the treasury much Of
this money, as by law, they are authorized to
do The revenue Of tho State is required to be
kept in the three principal Richmond banks,
but it is supposed that these institutions viii
refuse this year to receive on deposite so much
of it as is paid in Trans-Alleghany notes. This
is not surprising, since it would be most un-
reasonable to expect them to receive money de
preciated some twenty-five or thirty per cent,
and yet pay out upon the demand Of the State
treasurer current funds. The law authorizes
the governor, for good cause, to withdraw from
the banks the funds of the State, and it is ru-
mored that he will probably do SO, should the
banks positively refuse to receive Translate
ghany money. Such a step would embarTass
them very much in the present condition of
the money market, and by forcing them to cur
tail still further their operations, would Of
course affect very sensibly, the general interests
of the community. They are thus really be-
tween Scylla and Charybdis. 1t is to be hoped
that they will not be required to venture upon
the perils of either passage.

him for stating that the Councils Of Know

We thank the Tribune also for informing

We are neither slavery propagandsts nor

lists. The very agitation of the subject is fruit
full Of mischief No friend of the Union and Of
the Constitution viii seek to disturb this ele-

Let the Constitution, with all its compro-
misses, be faithfully adhered to, and our glorious
Union will be perpetuated. Violate those COM
promises, and the Union will cease to exist OF

organ of vision Is considered the most delicate or
ganizaton in the human frame; yet, many who
have been born blind, have been enabled to see by
surgical operations and the followngis an interest
ing fact concerning one Of that class. This youth
had become IS years Of age, when his eyes were
couched by the surgeon. He thought scarlet the
most beautiful color, black painful. He ancicd
every object touched him and he could not dis
tinguish by sight what he perfectly well knew by
feeling, for instance, the cat and dog When his
second eye was couched he remarked that the OBJ
ccts were not so large in appearance to this as to
the one opened at first. Pictures he considered
only parti-colorcd surfaces, and miniature abso-
lutely astonishcd him, seeming to him ike putting

Stanley, the organist, and many blind musicians,
have been the best performers Of their time and
a schoolmistress in England could discover that
two boys were playing in distant corner Of tho
room, instead Of studying person using
his eyes could not detect the slightest sound.
Prof sanderson, who was blind, could, in a few
moments tell how many persons were in a mixed
company and of each sex. A blind French lady
could dance in figure dances, sew and thread her
own needle. A blind man in Derbyshire, Eng
land, has actually been surveyor and planncr Of
roads, his ear guiding him as to distance as ac-
curatcly the eye to others and the late Justice
Fielding, who was blind, on walking into room
for the first time, after speaking few words, said
