After pcrusing the work, we can say with

hook: it is q tale of real life; the heroine is
flesh and blood woman, of like nature with

upon the street in the company Of another
Young lady, about s O'Clock in the evening,

been taken for her hair, And the mystery is
no nearer being solved now than ever.

The sditor Of tht Kniekerbocksr attributes

Tho 4ditor OF the KnickerbOcker attributes
the following to Ike Marvel:
Laasevening viewers walking leisurely a
long, the music Of the choirs of the churches
came floating out ID the darkness around us,
and they were all new and strange tunes bui
one; That one-it vas not sung as We have
heard it, but it awakened train Of long bur-
led memoriss. that rose to US rs they were,
before the CENT terry of the soul ha | tomb
in it.
|, 1t was the old .Corinth' they were singing
strains that We have seldom heard since the
rose color of life was blanched; and We were
in moment back again to the old village
church and it was summer afternoon; and
the yellow sunbeams were streaming through
the west windows, and the silver hair Of the
old deacon, who sat in the pulpit was turned
to gold in its light who, we used to think
could never die, SO good was he, had conclu-
ded the application and exhortation, the vii
lage choir was singing the last hymn and the
tune was sCorinth.'
It is years-we dare not think how many.
since then, and the ssprayers of David, the son
of Jesse, are ended, J" and the choir are scat
tered and gone. The girl with blue eyes that
sang alto, and the girl with black eyes that
sang the air, those eyes were once like clear
June ncaven AZ noon. 4E 8li8 III
They both became wives, both mothers and
both died.. Who shall say they are not sing
ing 'Corinth still, where Sabbath neverwanes,
and CONGREGATIONS never break fup?' There
they sat Sabbath after Sabbath by the square
column on the right of the leader aud to our
young ears their tones were the very soul Of
music That column bears their penciled
names as they wrote them in those days lin
Life's June, l8-before dreams or change
overcame their spirits like . summer cloud.
Alas that with old singers most Of the
sweetest tunes had died upon the air: but
they still linger in memory, and tley shall
yet be sung in the sweetest re- union Of song
tina shall take place in a hall whose columns
are beams of morning light, whose ceiling
is pearl, whose floors are of gold, and where
hairs never grow grey, and hearts never grow
old. Then she that sang alto, and she that
sang air, will be in those places once more.

Tue PREsrDENcY-LEwIs ID. CAMPBELL, OF
Omo.-Many papers in Ohio have mentioned
the name Of LEWIS d. CAMrBELL in connec-
ton with the Presidency. The Cincinnati
Gazette was the first to lead off in laula-
tory notes., which was extensively seconded
by the Ohio Press. Aside from the fact of
its being premature movement, We do not
consider Mr.. c., in age, in experience, in
long and faithful public service, to occupy
that exalted position man should hold to
be cntititdto the great distinction of an ele-
vation TO the Presidency. AMI, although &

OF high order and a name that stands with

like toseso him President because he is q

by opponents as unfit for the station; both
were malgned as to motives; both were pro-
nounced to have lost their popularity. Both,
also, encountered opposition 10 the ranks of the
democracy. Jefferson's party policy, which he
terms one of conaiation,' estranged, at first,
many Of his supporters. He urged reunion,
on liberal principles. with his opponents and
for this he was charged with deserion Of his
principles. Another source of opposition he

Revolutionary Anecdote.

When Colonel Washington, Of the Dragons
was engaged with Tarletons cavalry, at the
battle of -, in South Carolina, his impetu-
osity separated him from the troops, and he
was fnriously beset by an officer and dozen
Of British dragons. In defending himself, he
broke his sword, and WAS in most periIous
situation. While defending himself with his
broken sword, the enemy pressing upon him
with the fullest confidence Of destroying him,
Sergeant Everhart, of Frederick county,
Maryland, gaIlantly rushed up 10 him and
handed him his well-tried sword, with which
Washington soon extricated himself, cutting
down his antagonists, until he was soon joined
by his troops. COL Washington ever after
wards attributed the preservation Of his life
to the timely relief afforded by Everhart, CRATE
fully acknowledging it, and enrolled him on
the list of his dearest friends; and he never
passed through Frederickstown without spend
ing day or two with his faithful sergeant,
who is now living, and has been for many
years a jealous aud pious minister Of the
Methodist Church,
