The human heart has hidden treasures
In secret kept, in silence sealed
The thoughts, the hopes. the dreams the pleasure,
Whose charms were broken, II revealed
And days may pass in gay confusion
And nights in noisy riot fy -s .&a4.B~.
While, lost In fame's or vealths illusion.
The memory Of the past may die IT,
But there ere hours Of lonely rpusine.
such as in the evening silence conn.
When soft as birds their pipions closing
Their hearts best feelings gather home.
Then IN oar souls there seem to Isnauiah
tender grief that Is not woe
And thoughts that once wrlnz zroans of anvuf.h
Now cause some nilder tears TO aow
And feelings, once as strong ~ passions
Float softly back-a faded dream
Our own aharp griefs and wild sensations,
The taste Of others suffering seem:
Oh, when the heart is freshly bleeding
How it longs for that time to be-
When through the midst Of years reced;p9
It's woes but live in rereris
And 1t can dwell on moonlight eiirnsuer
On evening shades and loneliness
And while the aky grows dim and DINNER,
Heed no untold woes of distress
Only deeper impulse given.
By lonely hour and darkened roorn
10 solemn thoughts that soar to heaven
Seeking life and world to come.

TRUSTING INNoCESCE.--A backwoodsman, who
had never seen pair of sugar-tongs, being in
vitsd to a tea-party, requested person who
unhappily sat near him, to give some informa-
tion respecting its use. i. 1t is q very ingenious
instrument said the cruel wag, 9. which has
been lately invented for the purpose Of blowing
the nose 1t is now in use in genteel society.
and 1t ls expected that the disgusting custom Of
using the fingers will be altogether abolished. ,,
The sugar-dish was handed around the unfor-
tunate g lion" seized the tongs, and the po-
lite part Of the assembly were scandalized ct
the oufre application of the instrument, and the
tremendous explosion which followed.

A River Bandit,

The religion Of Brahma obliges the Hindoos Of
both sexes TO make their solutions In the
Ganges, or some other sacred river, several
times day. The women are accustomed to
meet in large numbers at particular places /;
these spots are surrounded BY bamboo tfiekets
interlaced, and with linen screens With these
precautions, they are not only sheltered from
the gaze Of man, but likewise from every posi-
bic accident or surprise-from the dangerous
dwellers Of the water
Some years ago, the authorities Of Benares
had suddenly brought to their notice the dis
appearance Of several women drowned at the
public bathing places !; from that time, daily,
Tor seven years, four or five disappeared from
the midst OF their companions, dragged away by
Violent and apparently irresistible force A
Thousand efforts to discover the cause, and
thousand suppositions were made, but tbey end
cd In nothing Some averred that a crocodile
had entered the bath az wolf in q sheepfold !;
(but an examination proved that no opening ex-
listed for the passage Of this terrible and fero-
cious brute; others thought it the work Of a
shark or some other voracious fish but sharks
do not live in fresh water, and are notaccussom-
ed TO ascend the course of rivers, etc., far
The Brahmins, when consulted, referred the
matter to the actions Of evil genii The police,
unable to discover the cause of these daily dis
appearances, boldly denied their truth still
they had the river closely watched in its circuits
round the city, yet nothing suspicious appeared
nothing, in short, at all, excepting q few
earthen pots floating upon the water, and follow
ing its current. But as it is the custom Of India
to expose the dying on the Ganges, with similar
vessels under the armpits, no attention was paid
to these
The women yet continued their atlutious.
being careful, however, TO keep close to the shore
or the bamboo hurdles. One day in the month
Of April last, one of their number, with loud
wild shrek, suddenly disappeared but, as she
was young and robust, she succeeded BY struo-
Cling vigorously, in disengaging herself from the
grasp of her enemy. Her companions, among
whom she suddenly reappeared from the boiling
and turmoil Of the water, suspected the presence
Of monstrous crocodile, and had fled in
alright. 9
But hardly did she recover from her emotion
when she related to their great astoniahment,
not that she had been attacked by crocodile,
but by mana real man In fact, this man
assisted BY his skill as diver, had glided daily
into the baths, covering his head with vase,
through which be had drilled couple Of holes.
From amid the river foliage he watched the
bathers to discover which among them was
most richly ornamented, for the Indian women
always bathe with their jewelry upon them.
These he then seized, aad drowned and robbed,
Justice finally succeeded in arrestipg the villain
He was lately hung on the quay of Benares, to
the very great satisfaction Of the women Of that
city. st asI

The war in Illinois against Georgia eswild
Cat" money still goes on, and therei is an evident
determination to show no quarters to specula-
tions in rag money. Nearly all the leading
merchants of Chicago have signed pledge to
refuse such money altogether after the Ist Of
January. and the Tribune of that city says:
The Illinois Central Railroad Company has
issued notices to its agents and employees, for
bidding them to receive or pay out, after the Sth
Of December, any notes of the Georgia Banks
commonly known as Wild Cats. It is understood
that the Michigan Central and the Chicago and
Burlington roads are speedily to follow this good
example. Thus one stronghold after another
gives way, and the day Of deliyerance is nearer
and nearer at hand.

The New York Times publishes long appeal
from Kossuth, Mazzini and Ledru Rollin, to the
Republicans of the United States. They say
that g the newest incident of the Anglo-Ameri-
can complication is striking indication of the
fact, that the despotic principle bearing sway
in Continental Europe, is not only hostile to
Republican America, but it is at the same time
SO predominant in influence over the European
Governments, as to make even constitutional
England subseryient to its designs" To this
despotic principle bearing the sway in CONT
mental Europe" they attribute the recent man.
Hesitation Of hostility to the United States by
certain parties in England, and if we wish to
break down this despotic principle in way that
will not in the s.remotest manner, infringe the
laws in the United States,'' it is by supplying
Kossuth Co. with means; the "house Of E. NJ.

The ENDoRA M MTsrERY.-The schooner Endora,
Imogene, which suddenly sunk in New York
harhor two or three weeks ago, and the captain
and mate Of which were probably murdered by
the negro cook, was raised on the 7th and thor
oughly searched It was found that she had
been scuttled by auger- holes bored through
from the forecastle. No bodies were discovered,
but several articles of clothing belonging to the
captain and mate were found, stained with blood,
and it was considered settled that after having
murdered them, the negro had stripped the
bodies to prevent identification, and thrown them
overheard The search after the bodies was
continued with graphing irons. A correspond
ent of the Tribune says:
The negro, Wilson, who is incarcerated at
White Plains on suspicion of the murder, is
speculating off the affair by charging visitors
l2s cents to view his piratical-l looking counte-
nance Unless this is paid he hides himself as
well as possible behind pair of pantaloons
which he has hung up in one corner Of the cell.

the works, and that they were ever taksn; they
are amazed that men could have defended them
% long with such ruin around them. These
feelings are apparently in opposition to each
other, but glance at the place could explain
the apparent contradiction. 1t is clear, in the
first place, that the FIRE of our artillery was
searching out every nook and corner in the town,
and that it would become utterly impossible for
the Russians to keep any body Of men to defend
their long line of parapet and battery without
such murderous loss as would speedily annihi-
late an army Their enormous bomb proofs,
large and numerous as they were. could not
hold the requisite force to resist general con-
oerted attack made all along the line with ra-
pidity. and without previous warning. On the
other hand, tho strength of the works them
selves is prodigious.
The surprise throughout the camp on Sunday
morning was beyond description when the news
spread that Sebostopol was on FIRE and that the
enemy were retreating. The tremendous explo-
sioas, which shook the very ground like 80 many
earthquakes, failed to arouse many of our
wearied soldiers. When rose ere day break,
and got up to Cathcart's Hill. there were not
many officers standing on that favorite spot |;
and the sleepers who had lain down to rest,
doubtful of the complete success of the French,
and certain of our own failure, little dreamed
that Sebastepol was ours. All was ready for q
renewed assault on the Redan, but the Russians
having kept up brisk fire from the rife pits
and embrasures to the last moment, and having
adopted the same plan along their lines, SO as
to blind our eyes and engage our attention,
abandoned it, as is supposed, about twelve
o'clock, and the silence having attracted the at
tention Of our men, some volunteers crept IN
and looked through an embrasure, and found
the place deserted by oil, save tho dead and dy.
