that Messrs Davis a Sons sales are constantly and

How Boy OBTAINED RIDE FREr ON rHs
CARs.--The Cleveland Herald says; "0n Wednes.
day night, as the train about leaving Buffalo
for this place, negro boy, by the name Of Frank
Snowden, about fifteen years old, and who has
been living here, requested the conductor to let
him ride up free, saying that he had no money.
The conductor refused to do so, and the boy went
away. At Erie on the arrival Of the cars, the boy
appeared, and in reply as to how he came there,
said he had clung to the undersde Of the platform
Of the hind car. The statement was doubted, but
he showed bis position and the appearance of bis
coat, the skirt OF which was cut by hanging against
a wheel confirmed his story. TIE little fellow had
thus ridden the distance Of ninety-fivc miles, sup
porting himself by his hands and feet clinging TO
the brake and the under braces of the car and
entirely under the platform. The conductor at
Erie permitted him TO ride in the cars to Pansvile
At that point, with the assistance Of the passer-
gers, he was secreted under seat, and thus arirs

Twilight Musings.
ny GAYLORD ,, CLARKE.

Now twilight draws her mantle round,
And trims her silvcry lamps on high,
While TO the ear the streamlet's sound
Is softly borne as Loves low sigh,
Az sweetly pass the pure away,
From this into a world Of rest,
30 swcetly goes the dying day
From out the bright unclouded west
How calm and lovely is the hour!
Now lightly swims the balmy breeze,
As some pure spirit in that bower
Where sweetest sound Heavens harmonies
The little birds have ceased their notes,
Within their nests they're mute and still,
While through the dreamy quiet floats
The sad song Of the whippoor-will! /.
Now Memory holds her soothing sway,
Aud brings the past, a fairy train,
While, gilded by her mellow ray,
We live each loved scene DER again;
And If, e'er from the world of bliss,
Departed spirits hover nigh,
Methinks tbs in an hour like this,
When Natures charms in stiffness lie.
Father aboyel at thy command,
All lovely things sprung into birth
ion skies are paintings OF thy hand,
fon silvery lamps that light the earth
Are thy creation Let this hour
With holy reverence fill my heart;
oh make me feel Thy bouudless power
Yet feel how good and kind Thou art

present at the capture of Sebastopol, relates the
following romantic story:
"a party Of men belonging to different regi-
ments were paroling from house 10 house in search
of plunder. In one Of the houses they came across
beautiful young femsle about seventeen or eight
cen years of age. OF course, some ignorance was
shown amongst the party, who commenced to drag
her about, and would have used violence to her,
had not young man belonging to the 18th taken
musket, and threatened TO blow the first mans
brains out that laid finger OH her; whereupon
the young woman few to this man. and clung to
him for protection. She followed him all the way
back to the camp, when coming in sight Of his
camp he beckoned her to return-but she would
not leave him.
Whether che had fallen Ia love at first sight
don't know, bat she came to the camp with him.
AS soon IA he got there, he was instantly confined
for being absent when the regiment was under
arms She followed him to the guard tent, and
cried after him. The Colonel Of bis regiment, see.
ing the affection she bore him, released him, and
sent them both before General Harris, where an
interpreter got, and she related the whole af.
fair to them.
IL turned out that she was the Generals daugl.
ter, with some thousands. She was beautifully
attirod, and carried gold watch, and wore a set
Of bracelets Of immente value The young man
is now about TO be married to her. She will not
leave him on any account whatever; and if he Is
not lucky dog, don't know who is.
