and frail as wax-work. In color they reflect
every hue and expression some are as white
as alabaster, while others are clear and spark
ling as the diamond. All seemed fresh and
new. Indeed, the invisible Architect has not
yet finished this master piece of workmanship. /;
the structure is still visibly going on before
ones eyes. One can see the water trickling
down its tiny course, depositing carbonate Of
lime to perfect the delicate point of some i'm
mense stalactite. The sides and arches are
clothed in a drapery of dazzling beauty, rend-
ering it indeed fitting type of a fairy bride.
Queen Cleopatra, in all her pride and beauty,
never reclined in an apartment more magnifi-
cent than the :sBrdal Chamber of this cave.
Immediately above, and to the back of this
grand apartment, and connected with it by q
short passage, is another room, called the s'Or
gan Chamber" 1t appropriately takes its
name from the arrangement of the stalactites
as musical scale, upon Which may be produ-
ced notes resembling the music of an organ
the large pendants corresponding to the low
bass wires, while the smaller ones will produce
all the different notes, of the higher keys
The various apartments are SO arranged that
this is the last room to be visited which is
worth noticing. The closing scene is exceed
ingly appropriate. After feasting the eye upon
the splendor Of walls, arches, columns, and
pendants, ornamented by an infinite Artist,
and having filled the mind with the painful sub
Unity of silence and darkness, nothing could
produce upon the senses greater thrill of
pleasure than to listen to the sweet music of
nature echoing and re-echoing through these
halls of solitude.
Reluctantly leaving this great organ, still
sounding the praise of Him sswho docth all
things well,' we retraced our faltering steps
to the s.Bridal Chamber to take last linger-
ing look Of its grandeur, dressed in thousand
lovely forms. From here rapidly wound
our tortuous way up to the opening on the
top of the hill, near which the cave was dis
covered. The cave, in all its aisles and apart
ments, is nearly mile in length.

MISCHIEF-MAKERS.

oh could there in the world be found
Some little spot of happy ground,
Where village pleasures might 60 round.
Without the village tattling!
How doubly blest that place would be,
Where all might dwell in liberty,
Free from the bitter misery
Of gossips endless prattling.
If such spot were really known,
Dame peace would claim it as her own,
And in it she mig ght fix her throne,
Forever and forever
There like a queen might reign and live,
While every one would soon forgive
The little sights they might receive,
And be offended never.
sTis misch ief makers that remove
Far from our hearts the warmth of love,
And lead us all to disapprove
What gives another pleasure;
They seem to take ones part-but when
They've heard our cares, unkindly then
They soon retail them out again,
Mixed with their poisonous measure.
And then they've such a cunning way
OF telling ill-Ineant tales: they say,
Don't mention what I've said, / pray,
would not tell another"
Straight to their neighbours house they go,
Narrating everything .hey know,
And break the peace of high or low,
Wife, husband friend or brother
oh, that the misunderstanding crew
Were all reduced TO one or two,
And they were painted red or blue,
That every one might know them
Then would our. villagers forget
To rage and quarrel, fume and fret,
And fall into angry pet,
With things so much below them.
For tbs a sad, degrading part,
To make anothers bosom smart.
And plant a dagger in the heart
We ought TO love and cherish.
Then let us eyermore be found
In quietncss with all around
While friendship, joy and peace abound,
And angry feelings perish!

AFFAIRS IN KANSAS.

Notwithstanding it has recently been assert
ed to the contrary, Kansas is in a state of dis
quietude. 1t seems that the people of Law
renee, not inclined to recognize the laws made
for them by the border ruffians of Missouri.
a few weeks since framed city charter for
their own local government, and put it into
operation. This charter differed essentially
from that granted by the Border Rufian Legis--
lature. Gov. Walker issued a proclamation
in which he pronounces the action of the peo-
pie Of Lawrence an insurrectionary uDve-
ment, an open conflict with the government OF
the United States, an attempt to involve the
whole territory in insurreetien and renew tho
scenes of bloodshed aud war, invokes upon
the heads of the people of Lawrence the blood
that may be shed in this contest, says If the
scheme is permitted to 60 on the territorial
government will be overtLrown, the territory
involved in ineXtricable confusion, denounceS
the Lawrence charter as founded on insurrec-
tioE and usurpation, and based on insurrec-
tion and revolution, ard informs the Lawrence
men that rebellion SO iniquitous and Ieces-
sarily involving such awful consequences, has
never disgraced any age or country. He warns
he has deemed it necessary to ssorder an sds-
quate force of the U. S. troops into their i'm
mediate vicinage to perform the painful duty
of arresting their revolutionary proceedings"
The troops which he has called to his aid arc
under the command of Gen. Harney, who is
known as the sswoman whipper," and are the
same, we believe, that the Administration had
ordered to Utah! To US, all this has the ap-
pearance of '.tempest in a teapot and,
no matter whether the Lawrence men were
right wrong, Walker must have been 'shsrd
up'' for a pretext to proceed against them,
when he found himself compelled to resort to
this one. But what docs all this mean what
is the object ofthese movements? Does it not
look as if there was some trickery on hand ,
Why, look at it. Walker pretended to be In
favor of submitting the Constitution to a vote
of the people. This he seemed TO do with tho
appreciation of the Administration. But We
think it was all humbug-mere pretence on the
part of both the @ ovcrnor and the President
CANNON Of the oiliest kind, designed to salts
fy those who voted for Buchanan on the ground
that he was in favor of '.free Kansas" for as
soon as the South began to bluster and froth
and denouncc Walker, presto, how quick a
change was visible, and a pretext found to
use force against the free state men, whereby
the South might be satisfied of the complete
subserviency of tie President TO their behests

pondent, slives small farmer of such social
habits that his coming home intoxicated was
once no unusual thing. His wife urged him
in vain to sign the PLEDGE
why, you see,' he would say. sI'll sign it
after while, but don't Ike TO break righ,
off at once; it amt wholesome. The best
way is to get used to thing by degrees. you
know
Very well, old man. his help-mate would
rejoin, ssee now if you don't fall into hols
one of these days, while you can't take care
of yourself, and nobody near to help you OUT
Sure enough, as if to verify the prophecy,
as he returned home drunk one day, he fell
into shallow well, and after deal of useless
screaming, he shouted for the .light of his
eyes, to come and help him out.
Didn't tell you SO 3 said the good soul,
showing her cap frill over the edge Of the par

it's only lucky that L am in hearing, or You

after pause, letting down the bucket, staka

of the windlass, until the old lady's grasp
slipping from the handle, down he went to the
bottom again. This occurring more thap once,

sLook here he screamed in a fury, at tho
last plash, you're doing that on purpose-I

The old fellow could not help ehuckling at
the application of his principle, and protested
he would sign the pledge in an instant, if she
would lift him fairly out. This she did, and
packed him off TO sign the pledge wet as he
was. sFor you see,' she added very emphat-
ically, sif you ever fall into the ditch again,
I'n leave you thar will.

THE AIR WE BREATHE.

The air we breathe is composed of one part
oxygen and four parts nitrogen. The former
supports life, the latter extinguishes it. The
more oxygen there is, the livelier, the health
ier, and the more joyful are we the more
nitrogen, the more sleepy, and stupid, and
dull do become. But if all the air were
oxygen. the first lighted match would wrap the
world in instant flame if all swere nitrogen,
the next instant there would not be upon the
populated globe single living creature.
When oxygen was discovered by Priestley,
nearly eighty years ago, there was universal
jubilation among doctors and chemists. The
argument was plausible, and seemed perfectly
convincing, ssIf oxygen is the life and health
of the atmosphere, as We have found out how
to make oxygen, we have only to increase the
quantity in the air We breathe, in order to wake
up new life, to give health to the diseased,
and youth to the aged" But. on trial, it was
found that it made a man maniac or fool,
and, if continued, a corpse! Various other
experiments have been made to improve upon
the handiwork of the all-wise Maker of the
universe, but they have been successive fail
ures, and thinking men have long since come
to the conclusion, that as there can be no i'm
provement upon the cold water of the first ere
alton, in shaking thirst, SO there can no addi-
tion be made to pure air, which will better
answer its DEMONSTRATING purposes. And as
there is not, in all nature, still, warm atmos-
phere, that does not instantly begin to geper-
ate decay, corruption, and death, SO there is no
chamber of the sick, graduated to degree.
that will not hasten the end desired to be aver
ted. Nor is there an atom in nature which can
add to the health and life-giving influence of the
pure air of Heaven for if it displaces the OK
ygen, in the same proportion does it diminish
its life and if it displaces the nitrogen, just
to the same extent does it loosen the conser-
vative power Of nature, and kindles up fever
which is to burn up the body.

A SoLvENT FOR PREJUDICE.-It is
not many months since a co!ored man
came to this city from abroad. A New
York merchant had been in business con-
nection with him for several years, and
from that business connection had real
lied fortune, and felt that lie must
treat him kindly. When Sunday came,
he invited him to 60 to church with him.
He went and the merchant took him in
to bis own pew near the pulpit, in fash
ionable church. There was a promi-
nent member of the church near the
mercant who saw this with the utmost
amazement. He looked and looked again
he could not be mistaken--it was a gen.
uine nggier and no counterfeit. Mid
way in his sermon the minister discover
ed him and was SO confused by it that he
lost his place, and almost broke down.
After service, the man who sat near
the merchant went to him, and in great
indignation asked
What does this mean3 That you
should bring niger into this church.
1t is my pew
Your pew is it and because it is
your pew, you must insult the whole
congregation q
He is intelligent aud educated, 'au-
swered the merchant.
What do | care for that {? he is Mig

But he is friend Of mine
what of that ; Must you therefore
insult the whole congregation''
But he is christian, and membre
of the same denomination p 10 ..
What do l care for that' Let him
worship with his niger christians"
He is worth $5,Oo0,OOO,' said the
merchant.
'Worth whatl'
'Worth $5,OOO,OoO'
