WHERE MAY REST nE F0UyDs

Tell me, VIC winged winds,
That ronnd my pathway roar,
DO you not know some spot
Where mortals weep no more?
Seine lone and pleasant dell,
Some valley in the West,
Where free from toll and pain;
The weary soul may rest?
The low winds Softencd in a whisper low,
And sighed for pity, as they answered-"No!'
Tell me, thou mighty deep,
Whose pillows round me play,
know'stthou some favored spot,
Some island far WAY,
Where wretched man may find
The bliss for which he signs?
Where sorrow never lives,
And friendship never dies?
The loud waves rolling IN perpetual flow.
stepped for q while, and answered-"Ne!"
And thoa ~screnest moon,
That with such holy face z
Dost look upon the Garth,
As sleep in nights embrace
Tell me, mall thy rounds,
Hast thou not seen some spot
Where miserable man
Might find ahappier To-?
Behind a cloud the moon withdrew in wo,
And a voice sweet, but sad, responded-'No'
Tell me, M secret soul,
@! tell me, Hope and Faith.
Is there no resting place
From sorrow. sin, and death?
IS there no happy spot
Where mortals may be blessed,
Where grief may find a balm,
And WEAKNESS a rest?
Faith, Hope, and Love, best Blooms to morta
given,
Waved their bright wings and whispered
Yes in Heaven"

EDITORS, AND WHAT Is EXPECTED OF THEM
WITHOUT CHARGE.-There is many journalist
now languishing in poverty, while dozens to
whose success in life he gave the first impulse,
roll by him in their carriages, and have for
gotten his very existence There is no country
save ours, in the world, where journalists are
expected to do so much work for the special
benett of others without recompense Gener-
ally out of this country editors are inaccessible
II not anonymous; they may let you know what
they think, bat not who thinks it. You cannot
walk into an EDITORS room in London or Paris,
and ask him to devote his time and his columns
to your own advancement or profit, Here this
Is done every day, even by utter strangers
Half an EDITORS time-sometimes his whole
day, throwing over his proper work into the
nights given up to receiving the calls, listen
ing to the stories, and obeyng the requests of
one good -natured friend after another, who drops
IN to try his chance of getting ten times as
valuable advertisement out of him for
nothing, as he would be likely to get out of the
publisher by regular paying. If he fails he
loses nothing, for he has plenty of brass left if
he succeeds, he has used his time to decided
advantage. And thus is civility abused-thus
IS good feeling imposed upon,
Many an editor receives several letters in q
day, requesting him to do this or that to docu-
ments, for the benefit of utter strangers or mere
acquaintances, who have no shadow of claim to
tax him. N. Y. Tribune

ADVANTAGE OF ADyEKTIslSG.-A short time
since, the Louisville Democrat had an adver-
tsement from a young lady in Jetfersonville,
who finding single life irksome, announced that
she would receive sealed proposals from any
respectable, good looking and well conducted
young man disposed to don the connubal har-
ness. The Democrat says among the numerous
correspondents who addressed her, was our
gifted young friend, G. g. L. whom she ac.
ccpted, and they are to be married within
week. This shows young ladies the advantages

RAFID Growth OF THE WEsr.-The CHICAGO
Tribune, speaking Of the rapid DEVELOPMENT Of
those elements Of prosperity possessed by the
60 Great West" says:
The West is yet in its infancy. It has mot
yet passed out of its teens Nineteen years
ago, there were less than five thousand white
inhabitants in all the vast region Of beautiful
country lying between Lake Michigan and the
Pacific Ocean Now the number is between
one. and two millions
Twelve years ago Chicago contained popu-
lation of 5000. Now, it has over 50, 900!
Twelve years ago, eight to twelve days pas
sage between Chicago and New York was con-
siaered quick time in the most favorable sea-
son. Now two days is the average, and it is
TO be soon reduced 10 but three hours more than
one day
,Six. years ago, Chicago had not single foot
o1 railroad Completed, and only one in contem-
platlon Now it has 482 miles completed in the
limits Of the State alone, and over 2o0O in pro-
cess of construction
Fifteen years ago, the people Of Chicago
bought large part of their breadstuffs and
provisions from the States Of New York. Penn
sylyania and Ohio. Now there is exported from
this city, each year, 5000, 900 bushels Of rrain
and 10000 barrels Of beef and pork

Brutal MuRDER.-We learn from the Tensas
Herald Of the 18th that most brutal murder
was committed in Jefferson county, Miss, upon
a German wood-cutter, by a negro belonging to
Mrs Smythe. 1t seems the negro had stolen
u trunk and gun belonging to the German and
upon being punished confessed that he had COM
mitted the offence and offered 10 show the Ger
man where the property was secreted. Accord
ingly the German, accompanied by the negro,
set out for the place, but in the course of an
hour the latter returned without his companion,
when search being made in the woods some
three quarters of a mile from the river, the
corpse of the murdered man was found He said
the German had struck him first, with his gun,
but there was no sign of a blow upon him. The
German was horribly mangled, having received
four or five blows upon his head and neck with
the gun, either of which would have sufficed to
kill him instantly. The gun Ga single shotgun)
was broken at the breech, and the barrel broken
in three pieces.

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.--In glancing through
our Mexican exchanges, we perceive that the
people of that country get up some excitement
occasionally at their fandangoes:
The town of Quecholae has recently. been the
theatre of a frightful tragedy On Sunday, the
29th of January, Don Juan Jose Arenas gave O
dance at which was present large company
from Quecholac and the neighboring villages.
All were SO pleased that they agreed to have
another on the 31st. At this, still larger COM
pany assembled and still greater gayety pre-.
vailed After eleven o'clock at night, the ladies
were invited to 60 the supper room, and threw
aside their mantles for the purpose As they
were passing through a. passage which lead to
that room, one of them fell dead from the stroke
of a dagger; the murderer was the master of
the house himself, Arenas The shrek of the
victim, and the sight of the crime, produced the
widest confusion, All attempted to seize the
criminal; but he, armed with his dagger and a
six barreled pistol, placed his back to the wall
and defended himself desperately. Among 9TH
ers, he wounded the SOP of the slain lady. Sud
denly, however. finding it impossible to escape,
he applied his pistol to his mouth and blew out
his own brains. 1t seems that the lady and he
were adversaries in law suit of much import
ance, and that, on her having the imprudence
to show herself in her adversary house, he had,
in his rage, committed this crime.
