The Aerial River.-BY C. F. HARRIS.

Respectfully Inscribed 70 REV. R. R. MIcHAUx, Of
Fayetteville, ". c.
At sunsets hour we saw towards the west
A river, or that which did seem TO be
A river, M though II really were;
Clear, wide, unrufled and bright as the light.
1t seemed TO rise along the very track
The sun had just now passed. Towards the north
And east Il flowed. An ocean spreading out
ulimitablo; not dark, but brilliant
As the river, received its shining stream.
Fit reservoir OF such pure waters
The ocean had no wave. TWAS pacific.
Yet doubtless along that unruiled space,
The storm-spirit sometimes in terror howled,
When darkness threw her sable pail of night
Ger the scene. And when the gathering storm,
In lis wild, careering, madoning mood
Rushes by, the lightnings emit all round
Their brilliant glare while Earring thunders roll,
No house, or town, or city could be seen,
BY oceans shore or by the rivers brink.
No steamers whistle e'er disturbed the scene;
Nor here were white sails ever spread to breeze.
Yet like other rivers this had its isles,
Large and small, without n man, bird or beast.
1t had huge, high-towering, rugged rocks
Irregularly interpreted. But 10!
The changing clouds and Intervening trees
Chased away the Aerial@ Rirer.
And non we looked again but all was gone
Save the pleasing impress left on the mind.
. IL is not hard to conceive, as we did, the brigh
space between two clouds, near the hour of sunset
to be a river; and the smaller fragments Of cloud
in that space to be rocks and islands, and the clea
open sky beyond to be an ocean.

The Great Book of the Year.

ORDERS now over eight thousand copies. The
MATCH GIRL; or, LIFE SCENES AS THEY
ARE. One volume limo ; 218 pages. Embellish-
ed with six beautiful original designs. 81 rs.
That this will he "a volume of unbounded popu-
larity Is attesied by The fact. that though it has been
announced but n few weeks, the orders are now
over Eight Thousand Copies, and still pouring in
in immense quantities.
The book will, without doubt, create a marked
sensation. as the characters are all taken from real
life, aud many of them now living. No imaginary
beings are introduced to give effect or to finish a
picture. Real Life furnishes enough examples Of
HEAVIER born virtue and low-brcd vice, for our gif-
ted author to appeal to the field Of imagination for
heroes. The volume is by n person of education
and talent, a master Of pure language, aud written
with q power and directness which cannot fail to
command immediate attention, and will ut once
create an intense interest as to the characters, as
well as TO the ~incognito who wiclds a pen which
fairly CLAWS with brilliancy and genius. A distin-
guished critic who has read the manuscript has
pronounced it Ga volun Of remarkable power
and beauty, Astounding in passages Of deep pathos
and feeling, evidently written by a person perfect
ly conversant with the deepest feelings of the hu.
man heart-those produced by trial and suffering

800 REWARD

WILL give the above reward for the appre-
hension and confinement of my Negro Man
DENNIS, if taken in this State, or 5000 if taken
out Of the State. Said Dennis has now been run
away about twenty months, viz: since December,
1853. He is slightly bow-legged, toes turning out
a little, rather round shouldered and stoops slight
ly in walking has a scar on one ofhis thighs caus-
ed by a snag, of dark complexion, 5 feet 3 or 4inches
high, aged about 81 years, and weighing when he
left about $50 pounds.
Since Dennis has been a runaway, / have heard
of his being in Johnston county as a turpentine
hand and ditcher; Ihave heard of his being about
Averasboro' as a maker of turpentine barrels and
striker in a blacksmith shop perhaps in Fayette-
vile or its vicinity, and about Goldsboro'. I can
not say whether these representations are true,
but 1 have no doubt he is in Johnston, Harnett,
Cumberland or some fthe adjacent counties, work
ing about as a free man. I learn he passed in
some places by the name of "John G. Williams; )
he doubtless has other names by which he has
passed during his long absence,
I will give the above Reward of 500 for his
apprehension and confinement in this State, oil
5000 if taken out of the State, so that I get hin
again. If delivered to me in Raleigh, 1 win pay
all additional expenses besides the above Reward

On the Death of a Beloved Wife.

If / had thought thou could'st have died,
l might not weep for thee;
But | forgot, when by thy side,
That thou could'st mortal be:
II never through my mind had past
The time would Ger be DER
That / on thee should look my last,
And thou should'st smile no more
And still upon that face | look,
And think twill smile again;
And still the thought cannot brook
That / IN look i'm vain
But when | speak, thou dost not say
What thou ne'er left'st unsaid
And then | feel, MS we'll | may,
Dear Mary thou art dead!
If thou could'st stay, con rs thou art,
All cold and all serene,
/ still might press thy silent heart,
And where thy smiles have been;
While cen thy chill bleak corpse | have,
Thou scemest still mine own;
But as i lay thee in the grave,
L feel / nm alone!
I do not think, whero'cr thou art,
Thou hast forgotten me;
And /, perhaps, may sootho this heart
In thinking, too, Of thee;
Yet there was round thee such n dawn
Of light ne'er seen before,
As fancy never could have drawn,
And never can restore
