Stony brow'd Dwina, thy face is hint;,
Horseman and wagons cross, scoring no dlnt,
Cossacks patrol thee and leave thee as hard,
Camp fires but blacken and spot thee like
pard, ,
For the dead silent river lies rigid and still.
Down on thy sedgy banks picquet the troops,
Soaring tho night-wolyes with carols and
whoops,
Crackle their fagots of drift wood and hay,
And the steam of their pots fills the nostrils
of day,
But the dead silent river lies rigid and still,
Sledges pass sliding from hamlet to town,
Lovers and comrades, and none doth he
drown,
Harness bells tinkling in musical CLEO,
For to none comes tho sorrow that came unto
me,
And the dead silent river lies rigid and
still.
90 to the Dwina, l stand on his wave,
Where Ivan, my dead, has 40 grass on his
grave,
Stronger than granite that collins Gar,
Solid as pavement, and polished as spar,
Where the dead silent river lies rigid and
still,
Stronger than granite Nay, falser than
sand
Fatal the clasp of thy slippery hand,
Cruel as vulture's the clutch Of thy claws,
Who shall redeem from the merciless jaws
Of the dead silent river SO rigid and still.
Crisp lay. the fallen snow on thy breast,
Trembled the white moon through haze in
the west,
Far in the thicket the wholfcub was howl
ing,
Down by the sheep-cotes the wolfdam was
prowling,
And the dead silent river lay rigid and
still.

A THIEF WITH A "REL1GIoUs TURN OF
MIND. "A Geographic dispatch from
Chicago announces that James 0. Bray
man, an editor Of tho Chicago Democrat,
was, on tho 10th ult, sentenced to four
years hard labor in the penitentiary, for
stealing letters from the post office in that
city. The Chicago Democrat, in men
tioning the case, says he was naturally OF
religious turn of mind, and passed most
of his leisure in reading religious paper
and writing therefor His habits wore
abstemious and frugal. He had salary
not only ample for the wants, but more
than he used lie has been honest and
honorable in every relation of lifo,and yet
he has broken open letters and taken the
money therefrom. The Buffalo Adver-

to DO attributed to insanity or monomania.
He exhibited great deal of method in his
madness, for he always took the letters
that had the most money in them.

The present dangerous illness Of the
king of Prussia had It's origin, says a
Paris lotter,in a too strong dose of tobacco
smoke This was administered to him by
the emperor of Russia; and the princes Of
the royal family in the cars going from
Postdam to Perlin. The czar and the
princes, to pass tho time, commenced to
smoke somo very strong Russia tobacco,
and soon filled the car. The king was
observed to fall asleep, and was allowed
to remain in this condition till they arriv-
ed at Berlin. When they attempted to
arouse him thoy found it impossible to
bring him to state Of complete conscious
ness, his physician was sent for, he was
carriedsto the palace, and remained still
somnolent to the latest dates. He Is
thought to be afflicted with softening Of

been issued in that store that hereafter the
clerks who show ladies up stairs will in
variably precede instead Of follow them.
