Z THE BLooM OF AeE:-A good woman
never grows old. Years may pass over her
head, but if benevolence and virtue dwell
in her heart, she is as cheerful as when the
spring of life first opened to her view. When
we look upon a good woman we never think
of her age; she looks as charming as when
the rose OF youth first bloomed on her cheek.
That rose has not faded yet; it will never
fade. In her neighborhood she is the friend
and benefactor. Who does not respect and
love the woman who has passed her days in
acts Of kindness and mercy! We repeat,
such woman cannot grow old. She will
always be fresh and buoyaut in spirits, and
active in humble deeds of mercy and be.
nevolence. If the young lady desires to
retain the bloom and beauty of youth, let
her not yield to the sway of fashion and
folly; let her love truth and virtue, and to
the close of life she will retain those feelings
which now make life appear garden of
sweets-ever fresh and ever new.

A THRILLING ScENE.-The Detroit Ad.
uertiser of the 2Slh ult., states:
A submarine diver from Buffalo has al
last succeeded in raising the safe of the
American Express Company, which was
lost when the steamer Atlantic was sunk of
Long Point in 1852 1t will be recollected
that this steamer was instantly sunk by col
lision with propeller, and that large nun.
ber of passengers We're lost The diver was
protected by copper armor, and was under
water forty minutes, during which time he
had some strange adventures. The upper
deck of the steamer lies one hundred and
sixty feet under water, and far below where
there is any current or motion. Every thing
therefore is exactly as it first went down.
When the diver alighted upon the deck, he
was saluted by a beautiful lady, whose cloth
ing was well arranged, and her hair elegantly
dressed.
AS he approached her, the motion OF the
water caused an oscillation of The head, as
if gracefully bowing to him. She was stand.
ing erect, with one hand grasping the rigging.
Around lay the bodies Of several others as
il sleeping. Children holding their friends
by their hands, and mothers with their babes
in their arms were there In the cabin the
furniture was still untouched by decay, and
to all appearance had just been arranged by
some careful and tastful hand.
In the Office he found the safe, and was
enabled to move it with ease, and took it up.
on deck where the graphing irons were
fastened on, and the prize brought safely to
the light. Upon opening the safe it dis.
played its contents in perfect state of pre-.
servation. There was in the safe $4,000 in
gold, $500 in bills of the Government
Stock Bank, and large amount of bills on
other banks, amounting in all to about $780,
600. The papers were uninjured, except
that they smelled very strongly Of decayed
human bodies, as if it had lain for many
years in coffin with their owner. or
course, all this money goes to the persons
interested in the wonderful adventure.

Oh! I'll tell !. .ou Of fellow,
OF q fellow have. s.seen,
Who is neither white or yellow,
Butts altogether green!
Then his name isn't charming,
For it's only common Bill;'
And he wishes me to wed him,
But | hardly think / will!
:, lie has told me off a cottage,
OF a cottage 'mong the trees,
And don't you think the gawkey
Tumbled down upon his knees!
While the tears the creature wasted
Were enough to turn mill;
And he begged me to accept him,
But / hardly think will
Oh, be whispered of devotion,
Of devotion pure and deep,
But it seemed so very silly
Tbot nearly fell asleep!
And he thinks it would be pleasant,
As We journey down the hill,
To go hand in hand together,
But ! hardly think will!
He was here last night to.see me,
And he made SO long q stay,
/ began to think the blockhead
Never meant to go away.
At first learned to hate him,
And know l hate him still;
Yet lie urges me to have him,
But I hardly think will!
| am sure wouldn't choose him,
- But the very duce is in it;
For he says il I refuse him,
That he could not live minute;
And you know the blessed Bible
Plainly says, we mustn't kill"
Solve thought the matter over,
And rather guess will!

THE WITHDRAWAL OF BUCHANAN-A few DAYS
ago the Washington Organ stated that the with
drawal of Buchanan fom the Presiden ial contest
was under serious consideration in a Democratic
caucus at Washington city. This statement was
corroborated by the Washington correspondent Of
the New York Courier and Enquirer. We find in
the Natchez Courier the following postscript to-
private letter written at New York by Mississippi
lawyer of high standing;
Fillmore stock Is unquestionably rising, and
the ,oithdra,oai of mr.. Buchanan ia seriously
mooted here among the few leaders left OF the De-
mocracy." ~
The nomination Of Buchanan was mistake; It
has failed entirely to effect what it was intended 10
effect. He was nominated with the hope of Turing
back into the Democratic fold sufficient Northern
strength to keep the harpies Of the Democratic
party in power and place, and the fruiton of pub.
lie plunder. HHa.98
1t has already been ascertained beyond any
doubt that Buchanan cannot be elected, that be
will be the third man in the race, and that keep
ing him the track will only increase the chances
| for the election of Fremont. Many leading men,
who were originally for Buchanan, have become
convinced that keeping him in the field will only
serve to obstruct the progress Of Mr.. Fillmore in
| the South, and are anxious for his removal They
see that the contest Is between Fillmore and Fre-
| mont and that the corpse of the squatter sover-
| eign is only an obstruction to the Union party =
| Remove the body. 1t encumbers the way of tho
party that is fighting against sectionalism and for
| tho Union and the Constitution. Away with it,
and bury it at the bottom of the garden or at the
crossroads. ds.-LoaisviYe Journal. " '.fa1 lEst4
