EXTRAORDINARY PREsERvATIoN.-TheH Har-
dy (Va.) Whig gives an account of the recov-
cry of lost child which is really extraordi-
nary. A little boy between four and five years
old, son of Mr.. Wilkins, residing near How
ards Lick, in that county, strayed from home
on Friday, the 9th instant. Search was made
for it Immediately, and for five days this search
was continued: over rough and mountainous
country, without any tidings of the missing
one, although over hundred persons were
engaged in seeking for it. Whether it had
been devoured by the wild beasts, of which
there are number in the mountains or had
been carried off by some malicious person,
seemed destined to remain mystery. The
search was, however, still continued, and on
the sixth day the little wanderer was found on
Cooks Greek, about five miles away from his
home. When found it was well and hearty.
having subsisted on grapes and berries, and
when called by his father the little fellow ran
off down the creek as fast as he conld 90. 1t
seemed he did not wish to be caught, having
apparently enjoyed his six days ramble amaz-
ingly.

THE GULF STREAM.

The general description of the Gulf Stream
is that of vast and rapid current, ,issuing from
| the basin of the Mexican Gulf and Caribbean
Sea, doubling the southern cape of Florida,
pressing forward to the northeast, in line
| almost parallel to the American coast; touch
ing on the southern borders of the Banks OF
Newfoundland, and at some seasons partially
passing over them; thence, with increasing
width and diffusion, traversing the whole
breadth of the Atlantic, with central direc-
tion towards the British Isles; and finally
losing itself by still wider diffusion in the
Bay of Biscay, on our shores, and on the long
lines of the Norwegian coast. It's identity in
physical characters is:preserved throughout
the many thousand miles of its continuous
flow; the only change undergone is that of
degree. AS its waters gradually commingle
with those of the surrounding sea, their deep
blue tint declines, their high temperature
diminishes, and the speed with which they
press forward abates. But, taking the stream
in its total course, it well warrants the name
of a ssriver in the ocean," This epithet is,
in truth, singularly appropriate to this vast
current, so constant and contiauous in its
course, and so strangely detached from the
great mass of ocean waters, which, while see
mingly cleft asunder to give path to its first
impulse, are yet ever pressing upon it, gradu-
ally impairing its force and destroying its in
dividuality.
The maximum of velocity where the stream
quits the narrow channel of Bemini-which
congresses its egress from the Cuffs about
four miles an hour; off Cape Hatteras, in
North Carolina, where it has gained breadth
of seventy five miles, its velocity is reduced
to three miles. On the parallel of the New
foundland Banks, it is further reduced to one
and half miles an hour, and this gradual
abatement of force is continued across the
Atlantic. The temperature of the current un-
dergoes similar change. The highest obser-
we'd is about So deg. Fab. Between Cape Hat
teras and Newfoundland, though lessened in
amount, the warmth of the stream in winter
is still % or so deg. above that of the ocean
through which it flows.-Edinburgh Rerie.p.

QUEER SToRY.-The Wakulla, Fla, Times
of October IA, says A friend informs US OF
the following occurrence, which is reported tc
have taken place recently at Attapulgus, in the
State of Georgia. a gentleman, who had re-
ceived a considerable sum of money, was COM
pelled to go from home, leaving his-wife alone
in the house-situated some distance from any
other dwelling. Towards evening two negroes
entered the house, and demanded of the lady
the money, or they would take her life. Be-
ing woman Of great GOODNESS, she saw at once
that it would be useless for her to attempt to
evade the demand, SO she produced the money
and gave it to them. The negroes then re-
marked, that as supper was nearly ready, they
would stay and eat with her. She told them
to be seated until she got it ready. The wo-
man had a vial of strychnine in her cupboard.
In sweetening their coffee, she managed to put
dose of the poison in their cups. They
drank, and in few moments were dead. The
neighbors were called in, and the negroes dis
covered to be white men in disguise-near
neighbors and friends of her husband, who had
known of his receiving the money, and of his
absence.

SLANDER.

'Tis wond rous strange, and yet It's true,
That some folks take delight
The deeds of other men to view,
As if their own were right.
And if piece of news comes out;
They II eagerly pursue it;
Then hand the charming dish about,
And add little TO it.
Each fault they'll try to magnify,
Yet seeming TO bemoan
The moat within brothers eye,
Are blinded to their own.
And if a brother chance to stray,
Or fortune on him frown
Tho humbled in the dust he lay,
The text is keep him down"
They'll preach up penance with sigh,
To cure, or nothing can
SufferIngs are good. L II not deny,
But not when sent by man.
Each worthy deed is now forgot,
As if not worth retaining;
But Oh let failings fill the pot,
And slander sucks the draining.
Unto the dregs she draws it out;
Delighted with her labors,
Then bears the charming swilf about
To treat her thirsty neighbors.
Meath friendships mask she often turks,
And smiling fawns around you;
Concealed. she more securely works,
And kisses but to wound you.
Detested pest of social joys,
Thou spoiler of lifc's pleasures;
Like Simpsons foxes wou destroy
What's more than all our treasures.

quickly forward, he caught the wounded man

and they knew that the aged father was bles-

joy, and many parent wished that such a
pleasure might be his. None knew of the

their bosom all the past was forgotten, all for

ty he had offered his atonement for his crime
and had thrown off all shackles but those of
love, virtue and honor.

Tile Post Office Department.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-The present month has
been of unprecedented labor in the General Post
Office Department This in good part, is attributable
to the prompt action of Governor Brown, whO in
determination to relieve to the utmost extent Of his
authority, the effects Of the ever-memorable Septem
Der suspensions, caused the orders for payment of
mail transportation to be ready in advance, so shat
Immediately on application, the accounts were ad

Another important object has been attained.
Many of the railroad companies at the North, and
some in other States, although carrying the mails in
manner generally acceptable to the department,
declined entering into regular contracts. With the
opening of the new fiscal quarter, however, the New
