THE MUSIC OF THE RILL.


Twas in summer-glorious summer,
Far beyoD the smoky town,
Weary with long days ramble,
Through the fern and blooming bramble
Needing rest, sat me down.
Betting crags hung high above me,
Ever looking grandly rude:
still there was some trace of mildness
In tRiS scene so wierd-iIs wildness
Might be sought for solitude.
Birds and hoWers-song and beauty
eemed this rugged realm to fill: &
That which was my SOULS enhancing
Was the music and the glaucing 0
OF rock-born plashing rill. ..
Lingering there it was delighted,
husiDg on the day gone by,
Watching its bright spray pc ars spriaklCd,
And each silvery tone that tinkled
Touched some chord of memory.
Twas as though sweet spirit-yoices
Threw a spell around me there:
Now IN lghtest notes of gsadness,
Now In deeper tones of sadness, -t
Were a.whisparing in mine ear. tt...
Memory, hope, imagination,
Seemed to have usurped my will;
And my thoughts kept on s-dreamiDg
Till the bright stars were a-gleaning
To the music of the rill.
What world cf strange reflections
Came upon me then unsoaghtl a
Strange that sounds should find responses
Where cen mystery ensconces-
In the corridors of thought r
Then emotions were awakened,
Making my heart widely thrill,
As ling cred there and listened,
Whilst the dew around me gstened, sl-a t
To the music OF the rill. John BOOKER

My father, baker, is very poor, and"
Silence, my child; put me not to shame by
thy complaints. l am glad we have saved
this man from losing his money" The baker
had been gazing alternately upon the honest
father and his eager boy, and upon the gold
which lay glittering on the green turf ''Thou
art, indeed, an honest fellow, said the baker;
'and my neighbor, David, the fax dresser,
spoke but the truth when he said thou vert
the honestest man in town. Now | shall tell
thee about the gold. A stranger came to my
shop three days ago, and gave me that loaf,
and told me to sell it cheaply, or give it away
to the honestest poor man whom I knew in
the city. [ told David to send thee to me, as
customer, this morning; as thou wouldst not
take the loaf for nothing, I sold it to thee as
thou knOwest, for the last pence in thy purse;
and the loaf with all its treasure-and, GER

thee blessing with it p --
The poor man bent his head to the ground,
while the tears fell from his eyes. His boy

God, and do what is right; for am sure 1T
will never put us to shame"

The Fortunate Loaf.

One evening poor man and his son, little
boy sat by the way side, near the gate of an
old town in Germany. The father took loaf
of bread which he had bought in the town,
and broke it, and gave half to his boy
"Not so, father,'' said the boy; II shall not eat
until after you. You have been working hard
all day, for small wages, to support me; and
you must be very hungry; shall wait till you
are DONE"
'You speak kindly, my son." replied the
pleased father; ''your love to me does ME more
good than my food; and those eyes of yours
remind me of your dear mother who has left
us, who told you to love me as she used to do;
and, indeed, my boy, you have been great
strength and comfort to me; but that have
eaten the first morsel to please, it is your turn
to eat"
Z" Thank you, father, but break this piece
in two, and take you little more; for you
see the loafis not large, and you require much
more than do.'
g L shall divide the affor you, my boy, but
eat it, shall not; have abundance and let us
thank God for his great goodness in giving US
food, and in giving us what is better STILL cheer
full and contented harts. He who gave us
the living bread from heaven, to nourish our
immortal souls. now shall he not give us all
other food which is necessary to support our
mortal bodies?" The father and son thanked
God, and then began to cut the loaf in pieces,
to begin their frugal meal. But as they cut
one portion of the loaf there fell out several
large pieces of gold great value.
The little boy gave a shout of joy, and was
springing forward to grasp the unexpected
treasure, when he was pulled back by his faith
er. My son, my son !" he cried, "do not
touch the money; it is not ours" "But whose
is it father if it is not ours ?" 81 know not,
yet. to whom it belongs but, probably, it was
put there by the baker, through some mistake.
We must inquire. Run" "But, father" in
terrupted the boy, 'you are poor and needy,
and you have bought the loaf and then the
baker may tell lie, and" 81 will not listen
to you, my boy; bought the Loaf but l did
not buy the gold in it. If the baker sold it to
me in ignorance, shall not be so dishonest as
to take advantage of him; remember Him who
told us to do to others as we would have 9TH
ers do to u.s. The baker may possibly cheat
us, am poor indeed, but that is no sin. If
we share the poverty of Jesus, Gods own
Son, Oh let us share, also, his goodness and
his trust in God. We may never be rich, but
we may always be honest. We may die Of
starvation, but Gods will be done, should we
die in doing 1t Yes, my boy, trust God, and
walk in his ways, and you shall never be put
to shame. Now, run to the baker, and bring
him here and | shall watch the gold until he
comes" So the boy ran for the baker,
Brother workman" said the old man, "you
have made some mistake, and almost lost your
money! and he showed the baker the gold,
and told him how it had been found.

Later from Europe.


The steamer Washington arrived at New
York on Sunday, with dates from London to the
25th ult. a.
Thepeace Conference had beanless harmonious
in its deliberations owing to difficulties raised by
Prussia. Tie peace treaty was not yet signed,
but peace was, however considered substantial
ly certain
According to the London times, the cause OF
the difficulties in the Paris Conference was de-
lnand put forth by the Prussian Plenipotentiaries
to be admitted sign the treaty on the same foot
ing and in the same character as If Prussia had
been party to the alliance throughout 1t is
said that Russia supports these Prussian preten-
sions. This took place at the meeting of the
22d. Another meeting was held on the oath,
but nothing transpired of the transactions.
The opinion that the Conterente would ult-
mately resolve itself into a European Congress,
is strongly believed rzf.
The London Times Crimean correspondent
says that the war party still cherish hopes that
the negotiations may break down.. 1t may suit
the French to make concessions, but 1t ought
not to suit u.s.
The Copenhagen correspondent OF the London
Times states that the Danish Commlssary had
submitted to the Copenhagen Conference pro
posal for the capitalization OF OF the Sound Dues
fixing the sum of 100000 rx dollars as the
minimum indemnity which Denmark claimed
The writer states, further, that the United States
having declined taking part in the Conference,
the question will, in all probability, be resolved
without their cooperation.
Mr. Buchanan had gone to Paris, but would
sail for New York on the 9th. 9a
The British government had despatched two
steam Fligates in search of the missing steamer

GuanO.

This celebrated fertilizer has not been extern
sively used in the Valley of Virginia, principal
ly, we believe because of the high price it COM
mands in market. 1t will therefore be agreea-
bic news to our farmers to learn that they will
soon be able to obtain it at about one-half the
present cost The trade in Peruvian Guano is
kept up as q monopoly, in consequence of Brit
ish bondholders having a mortgage on the Pc
ruvian Guano islands, for very large debt due
them by the Peruvian government But an
American vessel has discovered valuable Guano
islands in the Pacific ocean, five hundred miles
from land and entirely uninhabited; and Com
pany of wealthy and prominent citizens of New
York have despatched vessels to take possession
of them and procure Guano. Both Peru and
Great Britain have direct interest in maintain
ing their monopoly, and will doubtless make
combined opposition to the official recognition
of the rights of the American Company. A
memorial has been presented to Congress- ask
ing that protection may be afforded to our citi
zens, who only desire the privilege of competing
with the Peruvian monopoly. 1t is to be hoped
that the necessary protection will be promptly
extended

parodi,s Concert.

Union Hall was filled on Wednesday night
last on the occasion of Mantle Parodi's great
Concert, and surely such notes were never heard
within its walls before as gushed in rich melody
from the lips of the unrivalled cantatrice. Many
of the pieces, though exhibiting most wonderful
vocal powers, could not be and were not appre-
ciated by our upeducated ear; but such singing,
as the ssStar Spangled Banner" executed by
Parodi and Madame Strakosch, we had never
heard before and could listen to with admiration
thousand times again. Catching the spirit OF
the national air, they sang it with inimitable
expression, and looked like twin-Goddesses OF
Liberty. Every patriotic heart in the assembly
bounded with emotion faster and faster with
each succeeding note, until the "grand CHI
mactsric" burst forth with FASHIONED energy;
"The Star Spangled Banner Oh long may it wave
Der the land of the free and the home of the brave
Parodi is indeed a wonderful great singer
Long may she wave. Mad. Strakosch sang that
beautiful song ''Kathleen Mavourneen," in ad-
mirabe style, and several other very pretty
pieces The inimitable execution of Strakosch
on the Piano, and the excellent singing of Sig.
Leonardo, gave q pleasing variety to the ell
tertainment.
The audience manifested their satisfaction and
delight by repeated rounds of applause, but
portion of them exhibited rather bad taste, we
thought, in their persevering efforts to extort
"La Marsellaise," after the programme had been
more than complied with. Parodi sung in Wash
ington City last night.
