A Faithful Girl.

A case of woman's devotion has recent
ly been brought to our knowledge, which
certainly equals anything that we ha c
ever met with in the realms of romance.
The circumstances occurred ia this city,
and are perfectly well authenticated
While the small pox was raging here a
few weeks ago, young man employed
in store on Lake street was seized with
the disease. 1t was Of course improper
for him to remain there and the people
with whom he lived, who were distant
relatives OF his. refused to permit him to
stay in their house. The result was that
he was taken to tn. pest house.
Il SO happened iha, he was engaged to
be married to q most esti.nable and
a-niab.e young lady. No sooner did she
hear Of his condition than she determined
at once that she would nurse him. She
underwent vaccination, and then went
where ,hey had taken her be;rothed, to
the pest house. Here she found him.
alone, sick, wretchel, deserted by all the
world. Aud here she remained like a
ministering angel, waiting beside his bed
OF pain, soothing his distresses and attend
ing to his wants. He died. Blu. how
consollng must have been his last mo-
ments.
Though all the world, hid forsaken
him, she, whom he. had loved better
than all the world remained faithful to the
last. Her hand it was that smoothed his
pillow: her eyes still beamed upon him
with mournful but undated affection into
her ear he poured his last words Of love,
of sorrow, and hopes that in this world
might never be fulfilled.
1t recalled to our mind, when we heard
i, the words that Bulwer puts In the
mouth of one OF his characters ITO be
watched and tended by the one we love,
who would not walk blind and barefooted
over the world s"-Chicago Tribune.

New Light.

The Chicago Press speaks in the fol.
lowing high terms Of newly discovered
light:
We have had for several nights past
burning in our editorial rooms, a newly
invented light, called the Diamond
Light obtained by the combustion "Syl-
vic Oil" The light is brillian, one,
surprising that of candies, sperm oil, or
camphene and inferior only to gas. In
sleadiness 1t is superior to all other lights.
There is no flicker, SO painful to weak
eyes and annoying to strong ones, about
it. 1t is said to be greatly cheaper also
than any other light, 1t is entirely safe.
Unlike splrit-gas and camphene, it will
not explode. Unlike sperm and lard oil
it does not clog the wick. Sylyic Oil is
distilled from rosin: the material there
fore exists in the greatest abundance and
can be had per barrel or ship load at a
small cost

Iowa Corn.

Mr.. Inskeep, Of Wapello county, who
has took the premium on corn at the last

Mason, Commissioner Of Patents at

back as follows:

use Of this office, and ten bushel for Mr..

New York Herald publishes circular
signed J. w. Barker, the President of
the Know Nothings in New York State,
to the State Council, containing various
illusions to their past history and future
prospects. He says that the strength OF
the Order in May, 1854, did not exceed
5000 in that State, and 10000 in the
Union. Now he speaks of the $50 Coun-
ellis in the State, and confidently asserts
that the party is lnyincible. Recrcant

SIXTH SENSE OF THE Bar.-The ami

SIXTH SENSE OF THE Bar.-The ami
NAL senses are Usually considered to be
five in number, viz smelling. hearing,
seeing tasting and feeling. But besides
these, bats are endowed with sixth
sense, which nables them, during night,
to avoid all obstacles without the aid Of
sight. The celebrated natur,ls,, Spal-
lanzani, long since found by experiment,
that bats deprived Of sight by having wax
placed oyer their eyes, still avoided OBJ
s,ac'es as perfectly as they did with their
entire sight. More recently, others have
confirmed the truth Of this curious fact BY
various and repeated trials, aud ii has
also been found that the destruction Of
hearing. as well rs of sight, made no diff
ference in TINS respect, but that without
exercise OF either of these senses, the bat
would fly through aper,ures just large
enough to admit it without touching. -
In the course of these experiments, nu-
merous small threads were drawn across
the room at various angles, and still the
bat flew about in every possible direction
never touching one Of them, even by ac-
cident. NJ. Jardine supposed that this
sense was lodged in the expanding sense
OF the nose, but that several species wan,
this peculiar nerve. Others had believed
tina. the popularity in question depended
on the vibration Of the air, which, strik-
ing against the impeachment, returned a
sound by which the bat was warned Of its
direction. But since it was found that
deafness made no difference in the facts,
naturalis's have proposed no theory to
account for this curious circumstance.

Rebellion In Australia.

The difficulty which began there more
than a year ago in regard TO the license
fee which the d'ggers Of gold were COM
PEELED to pay the government, has broken
out afresh, and at BallaaIat the military
have been attacked and beaten when
sndeavoIlng to inforce the license. Abou,
1000 Of the aiggers assembled afterwards
and burnt their licenses, resolving not to
submit 10 the system any longer. They
also resolved to resist the enforcement of
the law, and to protect all who were ar
rested. The "Reiorm League" as these
persons styled themselves, also protested
against the presence of soldiesr among
them. BY the las, accounts the Colonial
authorities were endeavoring to enforce
the laws, and had ordered the whole
military and police force to Ballaara,.--
An outbreak also took place at Bres-
wick's Creek, and strong party Of dig.
gers occupied the road to Melbourne to
rescue the prisoners. The military force
sent to the diggings was nearly thousand
men, with four field pieces.
Australia is in the incpient stages oil
revolution and will soon be sitting up for
herself, unless the colonial government,
enlarges the representative element, and
substitutes equal rights for oppressive
axation of labor and brute force.

While sunlight crowns the towering hill
The laborer seeks his home again,
Ana busy toll it's tumult still
The tired children cease to roam
Aud my sad spirit longs for home.
Ny HON beside the rushing stream,
Whose waves throughout the livelong day,
Leap mp too kiss the runs glad beam,
Or with the dancing shadows play;
II thee my heart at evening turns,
And once again to see thee yearns.
1t IL The hour when brothers meet
With sisters around the happy hearth,
When parents dea, their children greet
And s"ioes rise in gentle mirth,
No parents voice falls on my ear.
Kindred nor sisters have near.
Tell me- sweet wind that plays
Around my brow and with my hair,
If they are singing gladstone lays
In the glad circle gathered there,
In peace will they lie down to night
To wake with JOY at morning light.
As sit mnsing here alone
And watch tina evening shadows fall;
And think upon the years now gone,
Like setting sunboams from the wall
Ny spirit sinks beneath its VICE.
Until hot tears mine eyes oerfow.
