LIES WRECK.
They tell me of wrecks by the stormy sea,
When the ships of earth 60 down,
How the vessel bore her CALAMITY,
When before the tempest's frown;
But they never speak of the storms of life,
Where pillows like mountains roll.
Where floats amidst scenes OF discord and strife,
Where cares and sorrow and tumult are life,
The wreck of the living soul.
They tell how the cheek of beauty pales,
When fierce clouds o'erspread the sky,
But they never speak of the heart that fails,
When the wintry blasts draw nigh;
Or of those who wander the midnight street,
Hungry and threadbare and wan,
Shrinking from every one they meet,
As with palsied limbs and aching feet,
They pray for the mornings dawn.
They tell of souls that were chilled with fear,
When the decks were w~ave-washed DER.
But the Widows wall greets not their ear,
AS she mourns on the nearer shore.
Or of waiting eyes mid the wintry throng,
OF hearts that with sorrow ache,
But they never speak of those who from wrong,
Heve suffered so much and suffered SO long,
That wither, but never can break.
j
Aye, many a bark on the sea of life,
Began the voyage well manned,
But beating about midst turmoil and strife,
Foundered at last on the strand,
That forever and aye shall 60 drifting about,
The sport of each wind driven wave,
Whose sails are all rent, whose lights have gone
OUT,
Till at last the sad victims of sorrow and doubt,
Sink into an unknown grave.

THE OFFER.

THE GALLANTsS OFFER.
"Your home, dear miss; is very far,
The winds are cold and high,
No splendid moon or twinkling star
Is looking from the sky;
Soplease, miss, take my proffered arm,
And let the varmints come;
I'll see you safe from fright or harm
Within your quiet home"
II know, dear sir. the way is rough,
know the nightis dark;
And certain 'twould seem well enough
For me to have a spark;
But then vowed some years ago,
Call me you may a humbug,
My arm should never enter through
The handle of a rum jug"

The Black Man.

A project is on foot to induce the free
blacks of our country to emigrate and colo
nize Australia. Africa is the country IN
tended by the Omniscient as the home OF
the black man, and there is the only land
under Gods canopy where he is, or can be,
on strict equality. The climate, the labor,
the production. of the country, everything
is congenial to his organization and the
great Architect of the globe evidently con-
templated it as his home: all efforts, there
fore, to colonize them in other than Airica's
sunny land, will prove abortive.

Mr.. Soule's Case.

The refusal of an official in France to per-
nit Mr. Soule, bearer of dispatches from the
American legation in London TO the Ameri-
can legation in France, TO enter that coun-
try, is creating quite stir among nowspa-
per caterers in these piping times of peace.
and they would fain make a more serious
matter Of it than Of which il can be suseep-
tible. The fact, however, of the Foreign
Officer placing Mr.. Soule under surveillance
of the police while travelling through
France, is an indignity that requires as pub
lie an apology as the circumstance has be-
come notorious.

Lead Mining

| Mining for lead in the Northern regions
of Iowa and Illinois is more Of a lottery
than digging for gold in the gulches Of Cal
ifornia A Galena correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune gives the two following
incidents OF success in lead digging as fall
ing under his knowledge =
"Seyeral years ago. a party of miners
were working not far from Galena, when
they we're accosted by verdant specimen
Of the Coles county tribe who, with pick
and shovel in hand, and plenty of hay seed
in his hair, inquired if they snew '.plaee
where he could dig and strike lesd."-
The day was intensely hot; an August sun
poured down his burning rays with such in
tensity that labor, anywhere, was almost
beyond human endurance. Nevertheless
the unsophsticated nature of the inquiry
provoked the waggishness Of the mining
party to such dagree that they determined
to test at least his capability to withstand
the melting Influences of old sol. Direct
ing him by a cowpath to dense alder thick
ct in the center Of which was dry and bak-
ed bed Of Spring pond, where the heat was
absolutely intolerabe, they assured him
that there he would find all he desired
With the utmost stretch of good faith in the
honesty of their intentions our sucker
friend did as he was hidden, and commenced
work on the spot indicated. 1t was swell
terino place, and his tormentors chuckled
as they thought of the funny trick they had
played upon greenhorn but he persever-
ed and when about four feet below the
surface, he struck upon a chunk of ore sew
eral feet in diameter, which was as explor-
alton progressed, followed by another and
another until after little time the fortu-
nate finder sold out his diggings and went
back to suekerdom, the envied possessor Of
$4,000 in gold, and fitted to be, to the end
OF his days, country wayside nabob. It.
II may be supposed that the practical jokers
did not soon hear the last OF their attempt
to run saw.
"a gentleman now Of this city, whose
place Of business is on Main St, once com
menced with partner, the labor Of sinking
a shaft on o range where they supposed
mineral could be found. They labored
with commendable perseverance, drilling
and blasting in tough and pocketry rock,
until Spring, but not the glitter of a parti-
Gle of ore encouraged them to proceed At
length, tired of their irutiess toll, and dis
gusted with the place, they abandoned the
work. One Sunday in the Apri following
one of the partners strolled from his cabin,
down to his old diggings, attracted by an
idle curiosity to see the hole he had made.
When there he went down by the windlass,
but when half way to the bottom, he was
met by an obstruction-he could not tell
what Striking n hgbt he fouud TO his MS
constituent that the shaft was half full of
the richest ore. In working down they had
missed large deposit Of mineral in conf
cal cavity, by only an inch thickness Of
rock. The rains of the season had so soft
ened this, that the weight Of the ore broke
down the thin partition, with the result we
have stated. Our Main street friend had
Cor his share of the pile, jus! $4,000.
