WONDERS WILL NEVER CEAsE.--It is
now gravely proposed nd to deepen but
to fill up the Harlem river, at New York,
SO as to extend the city when necessary.
in that direction. Sixty years ago there
was sixty feet depth of water on the
present site of the Tombs, and it is not
so long since Canal street and its vicini-
ty were a running stream. Harlem riv-
er, therefore, might be converted into
building lots. and its obliteration from
the map would certainly render the neigh
borhood more healthy.

beckoned to negro who was standing
near to get out of the way, at the same
moment raising the gun and firing. AT
the instant of his firing Burnes looked
around and received the contents of the
gun full in his face. He raised his
hands to his eyes, and sunk to the earth
exclaiming, my God.' Upon this Sto-
vail advanced within ten PAGES, and fred
the second time, the whole charge taking
effect in his back, and Burnes then cried
ont / am dead man. Still not salts
fed, Stovall coolly approached him, and
drawing pistol, put it close to his head
and fred again, bursting his eye ball
from its socket; then, putting the pistol
to his breast, he fred a fourth time into
the body of the already dead man. Mrs.
Burnes and her children rushed from
the house screaming, while Dr. Stovall
coolly walked off, got into his buggy and
drove off,

The INAUGURAL 1t is q remarkable
fact that all the inaugural speeches of Mr..
Buchanan's predecessors. though he is now
the fifteenth President of the United States,
were delivered since he was born, so young
are we as q nation. Washington delivered
bis first and only inaugural speech to the
Senate, as did both Adams and Jefferson,
but be delivered none on his second cleo
ton Though Jefferson delivered his FIRST
inaugural in the Senate Chamber, it was
addressed to his Friends and Country
men, Since his time the inaugural speeches
Of The Presidents have been addressed to
the people, and have been delivered from
the portico Of the capitol.

PogT&Ys
Early Days.

Their memory comes like sunny CLEANS
Across my darkened path,
Or like the vivid lightning 5 fash
Amid the tempest's wrath
Or like the rainbow on the cloud
It's darkness to illume,
Or like the rose wreath love hath wrought
To smile upon the tomb.
It comes to cheer my lonely way
With many pictured dream,
To gild life's dark and shadowy way
With joys reflected beam;
And while the sunlight fllleth dim,
And darkness wells the night,
To the pale star Of other days
My spirit turns for light.
For have seen the hopes Of youth
Fading in slow decay,
The sacred promises Of truth
Like frost-work melt away;
When of the sparkling cup of bliss
Ny trusting soul would sip,
I've found the draught all bitterness
And dashed it from my lip
And can II be that iu life's maze
No happiness is found
Say, is there no sweet resting place
In all earth's varied round7
No bright oasis for the heart
Where Loves sweet fountain flows
To cool the parching lip and brow
Amid a thousand woes
