a-The Journal dc st Petersburg contains a
communication from the Russian consul at New
Orleans, suggesting that Russian merchants
should make arrangements for obtaining corn
direct from America, at less expense than it
can be supplied via Liverpool and London. The
same journal remarks that as the least saving in
the price would be of the utmost Importance, d.
rect relations ought at once to be established for
opening this new branch of commerce.

Railroad, in Allegheny county, on Cady's sec
ton, penetrated into cave. the mouth ofwhich
was about 800 feet from Jackson's River. Some
of the workmen entered it and continuing on
their course, passed under the river and came
out on the other side of it. In the cave was
found the dead body of hunter, with all the
equipments lying near him. About $4,000 in
bonds payable to Mrs. ~. Cross, and dated 1923,
were found on the body, which was in won
derful state of preservation. The bonds are
signed by many of the oldest citizens ofAllegha-

VA.IEGISLATURE.

Wei give fromtime to time the proceedings Of
this body, as VIC are sure thatthey must interest
our readers. The session ia approaching to
close, and there seems no disposition to prOlong
it The Internal Improvement bill will hardly
pass, that is, no State subscriptions will be
1uade. The taxes will have be increased 81
per cent. on those of last year, and with this
prospect ahead, our legislators have very wisely
determined not to run the State further in debt.
Virginia bonds are not $96 on the 300 yet,
and the Constitution happily provides that they
shall not be sold below par. In both Houses the
Bank question is under discussion. Several a.
rnendments have been settled, but nothing def
mite as yet. The queerest proposition we have
noticed is Mr.. Garnett's to tax the circulation of
the Banks. We believe Mr.. G. is an extreme
States Rights man, and of course advocates
strengthening our own State, and yet the result
of this proposition would be to Cypress the poor
of our people The borrowers would have eve
ry difficulty thus added to poverty. Had he
thought moment he would hardly have made
such proposition.
Wehave observed attentively, the various a.
mendments proposed to the Bank charters, and
it a little remarkable that by far the greatest
part of them, if adopted, would tend to Cypress
the people, rather than benefit them, the very
opposite result to that intended by the movers.

The life OF man OF business gives his character
a pretty hard trial. Not only does it exercise
his sagacity aud prudence, but i puts his nteg-
rty to the severest test. He is surroun led by
the selfishness of trade; he sees men profit bv
cunning fraud, and he is tempted to try bis skill
in artifice AM deception. Every day his hon
esty is tried in some way. He is thrown back
Hpon his inward principles, and If his heart is
hollow aud deceitful, he will be sure to oshow it.
And that man has reason to thank God, who
has gone through long course of business,
through times of wild speculation and general
bankruptcy and goes down to the grave, with
the neverShaken confidence of being an homes
man. He who can see another making money
by false representations, and never stoop To
those tricks of trade, is fitting his own pure
mind for a world that is more worthy of him.
And yet man cannot wholly escape these
temptations. To do that he must needs 60
out of world or retire into solitude. He nigh
indeed avoid all danger by shutting himself W
within the walls OF convent, and So pass
life of outward sanctity, or lazy contemplation
But the piety that is nursed in cloisters is of

The Past is hed-the Present
where Is it 2-The Future, who shall see II ?
The past the past is hedl
Mourn for the silent past,
Its hours 50 swiftly sped,
Are gone at last, at last
There were pure and lofty thoughts,
With HES dew-drops round them shed;
There were sacred holy memories
Of the loved, the lost, the deadl
There were fair and lovely forms
They sleep where the violcts grow;
Or meath oceans gathering storms,
Where the coral mountains glow.
We have lost their sunny smiles
Mid the isles of the long ago.
The wild wave mOaneth mournfuv
Where they with the Past lie low
The Past the Past! we have offered up
The hearts rich insense there;-
We have drained the dregs Of sorrows cup
But the hopes Of yoRh are--wherc?
The wears that chronicle our lives
Have dimmed their early glow,
All, all that made them beautiful
is gOne-with the Past laid low!
The Present, ah, the Present,
Whence, where, what is it now?
Is it the passing moment W
Where fleet wing sweeps the brow
With its strangely mingled shades
Round the weary heart to throw?
Bright wanderer Of the sprit-land
'T'is gone--with the Past laid low!
The Future! who shall lnok
On its dim and unknown page
It hath been a sealed, mysterious book
To the wise Of every age. % "F
1t unclOseth even nov . .s......
With the present joy or woe,
IL tloateth like dream away
. And is gonc-with che Past laid low
Past-Present--Futurc! they are waves
That bear us to the SHORE ..
Over the hearts long treasured graves,
Where friends shall part no more.
As they break on its shining sands
In their ceaseless ebb and flow Tdead
We shall sleep-with the peaceful, yoiceles
Van dis silent Past idid ior.

ny MRS l. II. sIGOURNEY.

A student muses. in cloistered CELL
The midnight lump declin'd
While visions Of a vestal sphere.
WrSpp'd his far-reaching mind.
But then, by mighty impulse mov'd
Decision sprang from thought,
And slrOng in eloquenee of soul
The Genoese besought
OF lofty Science,--Seud me forth
O'er yonder trackless sea- .
And glorious themes for countless tones
l will bring back TO thee.
''I1I win thee undiscovered fields
And trophies of renown,
Compared 10 which thy harvests here
Shall be as thistle-down ~
But Science stood with folded arms,
In statued, scepuc pride,
And like the Pharisees Of old
Unvarnished truth decriet
lie said to commemorative me ships,
And | the cost will pay.
New mines of gold aud Indian gems
Shall sparkle to the day.
But Commerce lauuch'd her cumberous boats
That fear'd to Leave the shore,
And coldly bade the dreamer hence
To claim her time no more.
He turn'd to Royalty, and cried,
-If thou wilt speed my way
New realms shall rise, new subjects bow
Obedicnt to thy sway"
But the aneinted kings were bent
TN conflicts of the hour.
And chose in petty fcuds to waste
Their Heayen-entrusted power
To the darad Church he knelt
~Oh Mcther,-blcss thy son
And send him with Niceroy's power
Where heather souls are won.
And incense from thousand shrines
Shalt thine altar glow,
And chauted praise from pagan tongues
Thy temple-cOurts o'erilow.
Then the tiarl'd Church gave ear
As her true suppliant sued
And Islhclla's sceptrrd hand
ConiTmd the gracious mood
And glily from the shores of SPAIN
Three white sails met the morn
Westward they steerd meath Stran geT-skies,-
Till to grey Europc's wondering eyes
