Ggofte Slisttllanp,
NO CROSS--NO GROWN.
BY CAROLINE LEE HENTz.

A youth girded himself for the jour-
ney of life. A smile was on his lips; a
glad bounding pulse betrayed the full,
joyous current that gave elasticity to his
steps, crimson TO his cheeks, and hope
and exultancy to his heart. He had
read of those who had tainted by the
wayside; but they had not commenced
this pilgrimage with frame as buoyant,
spirits as light winged, will as strong,
and undaunted as his own. He was re-
solved to win the crown of Immortality,
and he knew that he must climb many
a mountain height before he reached the
temple where it was enshrined. But
what cared he for the distance that inter-
vened? He had long, long day before
him; the path was green, and the devil
ness of early morning sparkled in the
fresh and ioWery herbage. The sum-
mits of the distant hilltops were soft and
smooth, and blue as the heavens on
which they gracefully undulated. Like
Obidiah, 1.-THE son of Abensoria, be seemed
to hear the morning song of the "bird
of paradise" and the breezes of Eden
rustled in his hair. In Imagination, he
beheld the royalty on his brow; and he
went onward, that crown of burning gold
which was to set SO brayely, rejoicingly,
though as the sun rose higher, the sui
triness of advancing day glowed on his
cheeks, and he was constrained to push
back his moistened locks, and wipe the
sweat drops from his fervid temples.
Atlength the sun poured down full
tide of mountain glory, too oppressive to
be borne, and the youth staggered and
turned his wistful eyes to grove by the
wsyside, whose entrance arched by inter.
lacing vines, wooed him as 10 the embrace
of a friend. Just as he was about TO en-
bower himself in the leafy GOODNESS,
hand was iad upon his arm, and he saw
stranger, in pilgrims garb, standing
before him. He wore countenance of
grave sweetness, and his eye beamed
with serene and steadfast light.
"Csn ye not bear the heat and burden
of the day." said he, and his voice sound
ed like the low, deep notes of an organ.
.'Think ye the golden crown is allotted
to. the idler in the bowers of ease? No:
it is the guerdon of toll, the price of ex-
ertion, the reward of self sacrifice, ofen-
thusiasm and unfagging energy. Doyou
relinquish the prize?'
mo, father replied the youth; the

For the Chroni
LUNATIC ASYLUM.

Gov. Chase has recently appointed
the following gentlemen directors of the
Northern Ohio Asylum at Newburgh
Joseph Perkins, of Cleveland, J. F.
Morse, of Painesville, DR.. Griswold of
Elyria, L. Swift and DR.. Ruggles of New
burgh.
This institution was opened for in
mates on the 5ih of March, 1856. APP
propIiations to the amount of about
100000 have already been made by
the State, for the work on the asylum
building, equipment, and furniture. The
magnitude of the building was demanded
by the increasing number of lunatics in
Ohio. The present Indebtedness of this
asylum is S44,Oa4. The sum necessary
to defray the expenses of the institution
for 1856, is estimated at S32, 900. The
civil condition of the inmates is shown in
the following fable.

NEWFOUNDLAND DOG PUTTING
OUT A FIRE-WoEDERFUL SA.
GACITY.


One Of the most astonishing instance of
the sagacity of the dog transpired this
morning, which ever came 10 our knowl-
edge. The Messrs. Staude, tobacconists,
No. 50 Congress street, closed their store
last evening, leaving their favorite New
foundland inside. This morning, on open
ing the store, the floor in the back room
was found TO be OH fire, and the dog was
laboring with his fore feet and mouth,
trying to subdue it. A pail of water
which stood in the room had been pour
ed down the hole. The faithful animal
had so successfully combatted the fire as
to prevent its spreading beyond spot two
or three feet square. How long the noble
dog hal stood sentinel AMI fought down the
advancing flames, can only be con-
iectured-it must have beensevsral hours
His feet, legs and mouth were badly
burned, and it is feare that he is serious
ly hurt internally by inhaling the hot air.
He refuses food, and is apparently in
much pain. We trust the sagacious and
faithful creature is moi dangerously injur-
ed. This is the same dog which discov-
cred the man Lally on the ice few weeks
since. He is worth his weight in gold,
and may safely be pronounced the noblest
of his race.-TFoy Times, Sd.

SPRING Is COMING.

Every breeze that passes Ger US,
Every stream that leaps before Us,
Every tree in sylvan brightness
Bending to the soft winds Iightness;
Every bird and insect humming
Whispers sReetly, Spring is cOming!"
Rouse thee, boys the sun is beaming
Brightly in thy chamber now;
Rouse thee, boys : nor slumber, dreaming
OF sweet maiden's eye and brow.
See o'er Nsture's wide dominion,
Beauty revels as bride,
All the plumage Sf her pinions
In.the rainbow's hues is dye!
Gentle maiden, TSinly weeping
Over some loved and faithful onei
Rouse thee give thy tears in keeping
To the glorious morning sun
Roam thou where the flowers are springing,
Where the whirling stream goes by
Where the birds are sweetly singing
Underneath blushing sky
Rouse thee, hoary man Of sorroUs!
Let thy grief no more su5due;
God will cheer thee on the morrow,
With a prospect ever new.
Though you now weep tears Of sadness,
Like withered flower bedewed;
Soon thy heart shall smile in giadness
With the holy, just, and good!
Frosty Winter, cold and dreary,
Totters to the arms of Spring,
Like the spirit, sad and weary,
Taking an immortal wing.
Cold the grave to every bosom,
As the Winters keenest breath;
Yet the buds of joy will blossom
Even in the vale Of Death

FAST YOUNG MEN, TAKE NOTICE.

We heard of an incident which took
place in or near Alquina, in this county,
few evenings since, which we relate
for the especial benefit of those young
men who are Interested. After church
a young man-nameless for the present
stepped up to one of the handsomest
and best girls of the county-and to
whom he has been showing considerable
attention of late-and requested the
pleasure of her company home. 1t was
granted, and they started. Elated no
doubt with his success, the young man
was thrown off his guard, and desiring
to say something of a very tender nature,
he turned his face toward his partners
and whispered his communication. But
that was an unlucky whisper, for the
same breath that conveyed the message
- of love, perhaps-alsO bore to the Oh
factories of the lady the fumes of alco-
hol. Withdrawing her arm from that Of
her gallant, the Miss turned from him
with disgust, exclaiming, "Sir, you have
been drinking arhisky you can't so with
me-" And she went her way alone,
leaving the lover of the ardent COM
pletely nonplussed, amid the groans and
ieers of many spectators of the whole af-
fair. We trust this will be a lesson, not
only to this one, but for all young men
who read this. The truth of the above
is vouched for by an eye Witness.-Con-

Extraordinary Marriage Scene.

The good people of Belfast, in Ire
land, were recently thrown into quite a
state Of excitement by marriage which
did not come off in that city. The par
ticulars are briefly as follows: On a
certain morning a wedding procession
was seen on the way towards church,
recruiting its number as it went along.
The gay lothario was on the shady side
of ffty, the damsel had only heard it
thunder for ssvenleeR summers. The
Priest was proceeding with the solemn
ceremony, the bridegroom had already
plighted his hand and heart, and the
pretty brides turn had come to utter
the usual VOWS, when, to the utter con-
sternation Of the spectators in general, and
dismay of the bridegroom in particular,
she broke out with a most decided neg.
ative, lifted her feet, and bolted out of
the sanctuary as hard as she could run.
1t is said that a previous engagement
led to this new illustration, which says
that "there many slip between the
cup and the lip" The disappointed
bridegroom retired to his residence alone
and marvelling.

SINGULAR PHESoMENA.--The Ssndus-
Ky Register of the 9th inst; says: A
most singular phenomenon, is now to be
seen around the docks, in the water
Immense numbers Of white fish last fall
were cleaned on the docks, and the offal
and spawn thrown into the Bay
This spawn has hat-hed and now, around
the docks may be seen millions of minia-
ture white fish. Here is fact in Pisci-
culture which the knowing ones ought
to investigate; for, if fish can be cleaned
and from the refuse spawn Matching can
be induced, what is the use Of al the ar
tifcial arrangements now proposed to
propagate fish?

a WOMAN MARRIED TO A WOMAN.

a person was brought up before the
Police Court at Syracuse on Tuesday,
on charge of wearing male apparel while
being female, of making love to the
Syracuse bellies, and marrying woman,
&c. There is no doubt of her femi-
nifty, though her counterfeit of man, is
said to have been perfect. She is Eng
lish, is supposed to be about 40 years of
age, and went under the name of Alfred
Guelph, and received remittances from
England, part of which goes to the sup
Fort of sister in Syracuse. In reply
to the question, care you male or fe-
male ?" she answered, " Your officers
can tell you, or " have told you" She
refused 10 give any more direct answer
to the inquiry in relation TO her sex, and
was committed for further examination.
The Standard says that a few weeks
since she assumed the galb of a man,
and made the acquaintance of young
lady named Miss Lewis. After brief
courtship, they were married by Rev.
Mr.. Gregory, of The Episcopal Church,
and the parties have since resided tc-
gether as husband and wife. The mar
riage ceremony was performed about
three weeks since, and the brides father
suspecting there was something wrong
about his new son-in-law, obtained a
private interview, and informed her of
his suspicious that she was no. what she
pretended to be. AT first she claimed
that she was man, but on closer ques-
tioning finally admitted that she was a
female. A partial examination was
made at this time by the father-in-law,
and he Immediately arrested her, and
placed her in the watch-house, where
she has remained since Saturday evening
last. ..
We have not learned the proper name
of this singular woman. She is about
40 years of age, with marked features,
prominent nose, high cheek bones, black
hair, worn long, (for man, and curl
ing at the end, and apparently oiled and
brushed with care. She wears a glazed
cap, blue coat, blue shirt, darL vest,
snuff -colOied pants, and gaiter boots,
and wears a shawl over her shoulders
speaks with considerable confidence, but
is not very communicative.
It is understood that when this eccen
tic woman first came to the house of the
brides father she was attired in female
apparel, and her clothing was changed
to mans attire, with the knowledge of
the family. The probability is that the
family supposed that her woman's dress
was disguise, and that she was as
suming the proper habiliments Of her
sex.
The lady's father was averse to the
match-but the bride still clings to her
husband, and claims that the
arrest is a conspiracy against them
They were allowed to meet in one of
the ante-rooms of the Police Office, and
each other with the greatest
marks of affection.

PERSECUTION IN TUscANY.-The cor
respondent of the London Christian
Times says the criminal persecution
against the ProteStants of Pontedera,
temporarily suspended through the re-
mOnstrance of Lord Normandy, has been
re commenced, and is now engaging the
attention of the Ministry of Justice. In
deed espionage and persecution are the
natural fruits of the season, and in Cath
olic States you may look for their ap-
pearance in Lent with as much certainty
as for the first green peas. Vigilance is
usually stimulated by the notice of the
government, that no less than 10000
persons have left the Catholic church !!

The News AND THE LIGHTNING.-
Within few minutes of the birth of the
Prince, at quarter past three this morn
ing. the Emperor sent messages in his
own name announcing the event to the
Pope, the Queen of England, the King
of Piedmont, the Queen of SSeden,t he
Grand Duchess Dowager of Baden, and
some other Courts. 1t is a very curious
fact, as showing not only the wonders of
the electric telegraph, but also the activ-
ity of great personages at hours when
the world at large is wrapped in sleep,
that telegraphic messages of cOngratula-
ton were received in answer before six
o'clock from the Pope, Queen Victoria,

TRUE BRAVERY.

Where find we truest bravery
Where find we firmest men
Where find we least of slavery?
Among the upper ten 7"
No! oft we find the humblest slave
Upon our southern soil,
With heart more firm, more truly brave
Than those who claim his toll.
He, who can pass in homespun dress,
II need be, through the throng,
Unheeding all the vular jest,
The laugh, and shout and song.
Can boast, by far, braver heart,
More free from earthly strain,
Than he who acts the boldest part,
Upon the battle plain.
What, though he face the cannOn's blaze,
And bear the CORY plume,
Through leaden shower and battle haze,
Fresh to the conqueror's tomb
What though the nation shout his praise
The bravest of the brave"
Be written on the pile they raise
Above the warriors grave
All this is not true bravery
'Tis but a wild unrest
4 wish for immortality,
That fills the warriors breast
But he. who to the public rOiee,
Is not cringing slave,
Yields but to right, may well be called
The braYsst ofthe brave J. 4.

WESTERN GIANTS IN THEIR SAUNDERS.
The Burlington, Iowa, State Gazet
states that while wolkmen were engaged,
on the preceding evening, in excavating
for the celler of Gov. Grimes new build
ing on the corner of Main and Valley
sts., they came upon an arched vault
some ten feet square, which on being
opened was found to contain eight hu-
man skeletons of gigantic proportions
The alls of The vault are about fourteen
inches thick, well laid up with cement or
some other ipdestructible mortar. The
vault is about six feet deep from the base
of tie arch. The skeletons are in a good
state of preservation, and we venture to
say are the largest human remains ever
found, being little over eight feet
long

There was one Greeley who proclaimed with Proudhon

There another whose political principles declare that
"theft is property"
There Sevegsmmon Greeley, the friend Of Hiber-

There is another Greeley who strikes hands with pro-

against the civil and religious equality Of this class
There was one Greeley the enemy Of congressional

There is another Greeley who goes for Fremont the
ceiver Of So 600 mileage, for 81 days service.
There was bran-bread Greeley there is horse flesh
