SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION On Wednesday
night, DR.. ID. d. Reid of London, late of Edin-
burgh, commenced a series of eight lectures on
the Progress Of Architecture in relation to
Ventilation, Warming, Lighting, Fire proof
ing, Acoustics, and the General Preservation
Of Health"
Prof Henry in introducing DR.. Reid spoke
Of him as one who had devoted great attention
to these subjects and whose studies had pro.
duced most valuable results.
DR.. Reid on taking the stand, felicitated
himself on being presented to his audience by
PrOf. Henry, q gentleman whose name was
familiar on the other eide Of the ocean, and
whom he had had the pleasure of meeting in
Europe
Hhe speaker prefaced his lecture by play.

and caves formed his habitation By degrees

Where the mournful winds forever
Sweep down from the dim old hills of night,
Like the wall OF haunted river.
Alone BY the grave Of . buried love-
The ghostly mist is parted
where the stars sh ne faint in the blue above,
Like the smile Of the broken hearted.

As If no love was needed;
The tears wept thy young dead face
We're never m ore unheeded.
Than my wild prayer for peace un"on-
One pure affection only,
Ono faithful heart to lean upon, ...
Whom life is sad and lonely
Thy low grassy root, my glorious dead,
Is bright with the butter cups blossom
And the night blooming roses burn dimiy and red
On the green sod that covers thy bosom.
Thy pale hands are folded, oh beautiful satnt,
Like lrly-bu chilly and dew-wet,
And the smile on thy lip is IS solemn and faint
As the beam OF a norland sunset.
The angel that won thee long time ago
To the shore of the glorious memorials,
In the sphere OF the star land shall wed us. kn"'

nor French, but more Welsh than

human nature can well be and exist,
The poorer women wear their dress

be scarcely traced. The houses of
the peasants are generally built Of

Although inhabiting a fine country,

4 TALE OF RETRIBUTIoN.'-
a few days ago, a man worth up
wards of $40, 900, died in this city.
He left a volumiuous document
which he called his will, and upon
opening it his wife and eldest son,
a young man, found themselves cut
off with legacies Of $500 each. He
gave as reason for SO doing that
the young man had once attempted
to murder him, aided aud abetted
by tue wife and mother. The oc-
casion to which the testator referred, !,
in making this dreadful death-bed
accusation, is explained as follows ::
One day, some years ago, this man
who was Of a brutal disposition and
addicted to drinking, was beating
his wife so severely that she con
sidcred her life endangered, and
lied upon her son, \the young
man referred toy to protect her. He
did this in an etfectual manner by
taking up poker, striking his faith
er across the head, and telling him
to the floor. The father cherished
the recollection of this act to his
dying day, and sought to revenge
himself, as above, by depriviug the
offending parties of their lawful in
heritance-though the will will not
stand under the statues of the State
of Louisiana, and the dead man
will be baked Of his vengeance.
1t is due to the young man to
say that he is of feeble intellect, his
imbecility being the consequence Of
the brutal treatment Of his father;
who struck him to the ground, wher
a lad, with such violence that ar
injury ensued which has affected
his brain ever since. So retributiol
for the cruel blow Of the father was
visited in kind upon him by the sol
who knew no better than to bea
his parent over the head with al
iron poker because of that limitet
appreciation Of the 'proprieties
and humanities of life, for which
he was indebted to the fathers NAL
treatment.-7rae Delta.

BURIED TREASURE FoCNp.-The
Peninsular (Deleware) News says:
The people of the lower part OF
Sussex continue to pick up silver
coins along the coast. A friend in
forms us that according to the best
information he can collect, there
has been from eight to nine thous-.
and dollars collected altogether
The coin dates as far down as 171s,
and is in circulation all over Balti-
more. The prevailing opinion is
that it is the money which was
buried by Gibbs and Wamsley the
two notorious pirates, who after
conviction, confessed that they buri-
ed money in the sand in that neigh
borhood. We have used several
Spanish quarters of the beach coin.
They are not much worn, but quite

that the course of each lay in diff
