CoNGREssIoSAL MANNERS. -The N. Y.
Tribune saws that on Saturday morning a
gentleman and his wife took seats togeth-
er IN the northern cars at Washington, but
the gentleman was Obliged to leave for a
moment to look after his baggage. On

that it was his wife who occupied the place
beside him. Mr.. Rust refused to leave
The gentleman persisted urgently in claim

Two YOUNG FEMALE BURGLARS PLEAD

Two YOUNG FEMALE BURGLARS PLEAD
GU1LTY.-While Mr.. and Mrs. Holden
of Cold Spring, Putnam county, were at
tending a camp meeting at Brewster's
Station, ABBOTT five or six weeks ago, two
young females, Adelia Wood, aged IS
years, and Sarah Jane Laforge, aged Is
years, natives of Duchess county, N. Y,
broke into their dwelling and robbed it to
property valued at about $50. They
were shortly afterwards arrested, and
lodged in Putnam county, Jail, for trial.
On being arraigned last Tuesday Of Car
mel, Pa, they pleaded guilty, and asked
for mercy of the Court, whereupon the
eldest ,Adelia Wood, was sentenced to two
years imprisonment 1.-THE shortest possible
term) at Sing Sing, and the latter, Sarah
Jane Laforge, being under 16 years, was
sent to the House ofRefuge, in that coun-
ty. On being Intercepted as to what dis
position they made of the stolen property,
they stated that they took it into the
woods and concealed it and nerver saw it
afterward. These girls, on the occasion
of Keene, the counterfeiters, escaping
from the Jail, instead Of running away
themselves, gave immediate information
of what had transpired

SONNET.

The stretching vista of my thought is SPAN
By two complete and mighty arches one
Eternity, the other Being they alone
Amidst this flow of things are firm and
grand;
They bound my furthest dream, on either
Facing my spirit of them man and time
Are only finite shadows, yet sublime
In uttering them. Within the world stand
And marvel, for the glimpse of COP appals
My human littleness. Before the Pure
And Infinite shrink. And at the strife
Of gliding forms I cover. But now there
calls
A voice which bids me to contest truer -
To win from Angel Time>a fit and goodly
Life.

The CAUsE.-Speaking Of the cause of
the {" hard times" over which there is so
much groaning, an exchange truly says:
GA very large proportion of the men
who have failed in different parts of the
country. have for some time past, been
living on visions of wealth. They have
been able to get a larger credit than ever
before in their lives, and therefore fancied
they were getting richer, while daily
making themselves larger debtors, and
therefore poorer. Now the bubble has
burst, and the vision has vanished more
suddenly and completely through the
whole community than ever was known.
-Skepticism as to all securities is as
undue and excessive as the confidence has
formerly been. Credit is wiped out, and
he who owes most property, if he owns
tenth of what he owns, is to-day really
poorer for practical purposes, than the
man who owns the least.
