And the echoes in my heart
Full and clear are ringing.

Sweet as waters Ginning,
Flowed The melody along,

Looked like soh eyes beaming,
Underneath, the weary earth
Breathless lay a-dreaming.
Through the silence went a voice,
With a inournful crying,
Lady Summer. fair and young,
Lieih faint and dying.

"O'rr her crimson mouth the breath

When across the meadows brown

THE MORAL OF THE TIMES.

From The New York Evening Post, septembe

day, in the crowded street, he heard his
name called by voice familiar to him; he
turned short round, and saw the face of his
victim looking at him, with a fixed eye.
From that moment, he had no peace: at all
hours, in all places, and amidst all compa-
MES, however engaged he might be, he heard
the voice, and could never help looking
round; and whenever he so looked round,
he always encountered the same face, star
ing close upon him. At last, in a mood OF
desperation, he had fixed himself faceto face,
and eye to eye, and deliberately drawn the
phantom visage as it glared upon him and
this was the picture so drawn. The Italian
said he had struggled long, but life was
burden which he could now no longer bear
and he was resolved, when he had made
money enough to return to Rome, to sur
render himself to justice, and expiate his
crime on the scafold. He gave the finished
picture to my father, in return for the kind
ness which he had shown him."

From Coleridge's "Table Ia k"
Power of Conscience.

A stranger came recommended to a mer-
chants house, at Lubec. He was hospita,
bly received; but, the house being full, he
was lodged at night in an apartment hand
somely furnished but not often used. There
was ISthing that struck him particularly IL
the room, when left alone till he happened
to cast his eyes on a picture, which immedi
ately arrested his attention. 1t was a sin
ole head; but there was something SO un-
common, so frightful and unearthly, in its
expression, though by no means ugly, thai
he found himself irresistbly attracted tC
look at it. In fact, he could not tear him
self from the fascination of this portrait, TIL
his imagination was filed by it, and his rest
broken. He retired to bed, dreamed, and
awoke. from time to time, with the head
glaring ON him.
In the morning, his host saw, by his
looks, that he had slept i'll, and inquired the
cause, which was told. The master Of the
house was much vexed, and said that the
picture ought to have been removed that
it was an oversight, and that it always was
removed. when the chamber was used. The
picture. he said, was indeed terrible to
every one; but it was so fine, and had come
into the family in so curious way, that he
could not make up his mind to part with it,
or destroy it. The story Of it was this:-
my father" said he, "was at Hamburg,
on business; and whilst dining at a coffee
house, he observed young man, of a re-
markable appearance, enter, seat himself
alone in a corner, and commence a solitary
meal. His countenance Bespoke the ex-
IRENE of mental distress, and every ROW
and then he would turn his head quickly
round, as if he heard something, then shud-
der, grow pale, and SO on with his meal,
after an effort, as before. My father saw
this same man, at the same place, for two
or three successive days, and at length be-
came so much interested about him that he
spoke to him. The address was not re-
pulsed, and the stranger seemed to find
some comfort from the tone of sympathy
and kindness which my father used. He
was an Italian, well informed, poor but not
destitute. and living economically upon the
profits of his art as a painter. Their mti-
macy increased; and at length the Italian,
seeing my fathers involuntary emotion at
his cOnyulsiye turnings and shudderings,
which continued as formerly, interrupting
their conversation, from time to time, told
him his story.
she was a native of Rome, and had lived
in some familiarity with, and been much
patronized by, a young nobleman; but
upon some slight occasion, they had fallen
out, and his patron, besides using many
reproachful expressions, had struck him.
The painter brooded over the disgrace of
the blow. He could not cl allenge the no
bleman, on account of his rank; he there
fore watched for an opportunity, and assas-
sinated him. Of course, he fled from his
country, and finally had reached Hamburg

Incident of the Wreck,

1t is well remarked by a contemporary
that no incident of the awful calamity of the
Central America-on or about the wreck
so impresses one with feeling of horror, as
the simple statement which has been lately
published, that the Star of the West, off the
Capes of Virginia, passed the dead body of
man floating upon the surface, supported
by a life-preserver. Itwas one of the pas
sengers of the Central America.
Who? How many hearts, bereaYed by
that night of horrors, will ask, 1chol Was 1t
he, the father, the brother, perchance one
..nearer and dearer?" The heart stands
still at the thought of that loved one, whose
diving pillow, if he could only have died at
home, gentle hands would have smOothed
around whom wife, children, friends, would
have gathered, eager to fan the pale cheek,
or wipe the moisture from the brow, OF
catch the last faint pressure Of the hand,-
to think of him, with no pillow but the rude
wave, no tears but the salt spray of the sea,
famed only by the tempest; now menaced
by some giant billow, now dreading some
fierce marauder of the deep; burning be-
meath the glare of the sun by day, and
shivering in the midnight cold; now descry,
inc with frenzied delight distant sail, ano
then seeing it fade away, bearing with II
every hope of life and happiness; and pc
rishing at last of exhaustion and famine
alone, on the great ocean.

CHTLDREN'S COLUMN.
How Hindoo Schools are Governed

The schoolmaster is always armed with
a long cane, which he applies to the perhaps
naked backs of his pupils with terrible en-
ergy and surprising frequency. If boy
plays truant, he is forthwith fettered by the
LEG. An iron ring is fixed little above
the ANGLE; to that ring an iron chain is at
tached; and at the end of the chain a heavy
LOG is fastened, which the cul prit has to drag
after him, wherever he goes. Very bad
boys are obliged to wear this fetter day
and night for a week, or a month, and
sometimes even longer. Other punishments
to which evil doors are subjected are such
as these. A boy is condemned to stand for
half an hour, or an hour, on one foot; and
should he shake or culver, or let down his
uplifted leg before the time, he is severely
logged. Or boy has his hands and feet
bound with cords, and is hoisted and tied
up to the beams of the school. Or he is
made to hang for few minutes with his
head downwards from the branch of neigh
boring tree. A very strange practice eX-
lists in some heather schools. The boy who
comes first in the morning, gets one stroke
of the cane on the palm of his hand; the
next receives two strokes, and so on each,
in succession, as he arrives, receives num-
Der of strokes equal to the number Of boys
that have cot there before him, the first
boy being allowed to administer the stripes
to all the rest.
