The LITTLE Cur OF TEARs.-We found tho fol.
lowing North German legend in "Thorpe's Yule-
tide Stories" one of Bohn's Antiquarian Series
1t is too beautiful to remain in the sole keeping Of
autiquarians
fhere was once a mother and n child, and the
mother loved this her only child with her whole
heart, and thought she could not live without it (;
but the Almighty sent great sickness among
children, which seized this little one who lay Tn
its sick bed, even to DEATH Three days aud three
nights the mother watched and wept, and prayed
by the side Of her darling little child, but it died
The mother now left alone in the wide world gave
way to the most yiolcnt and unspeakable grief !;
she ate nothing aud drank nothing and wept wept,
wept, three long days and three long nights with
out ceaSing calling constantly upon her child
The third night, as she thus sat overcome with
suffering in the place where her child had died, her
eyes bathed in tears, and faint from grief the door
softly opened, and the mother started, for before
her stood her departed child 1t had become a
heavenly angel aud smiled sweetly as innocence,
and was beautiful like tho blessed 1t had in It's
hand smPll cup that was almost running over,
SO full it was And the child spoke: 90 dear
est mother weep no more for me tho angel OF
mourning has collected in this little cup the tears
which you have she'd for me. II for ME you shed
but one tear more it will overflow, and | shall
have no more rest in the grave and no Joy in heav
en- Therefore. o, dearest mo,her weep no more
for your child for it is well and happy, and all
gels are its companions" 1t then vanished The
mother shed no more tears, that she might not
disturb hor chds rest in the grave, and its Joy in
heaven. For the sake of her infants happiness,
sbe controlled the anguish Of her heart. So strong
and selfsacriicing is a mothers love"

THE Doom OF The Worm. What this
change is TO be we dare not even conjecture,
but we see in the heavens themselves some tra-
ces of destructive elements and some indi icat tions
of their power. The fragments OF broken plan
ets-the descent of meteoric stones upon our
globe--the wheeling comets welding their loose
materials at the solar furnacs--ihe volcanic
eruption in our own satelite-the appearance Of
new stars, and the Disappearance of others--are
all forcshadows Of that impending convulson
to which the system of the world is doomed
Thus placed on planet which is to be burnt
up. and under heavens which are to pass away ;
thus reading, as it were. on the cemeteries, and
dwelling upon the msusolems of former worlds.
let US learn the lessons of humility and wisdom,
if we have not already been taught in the school
Of Northumberland British RGUielr.

Can any excuse be squeezed up for the
man who wrote the following:
WIENER we take our walk abroad, as
DR.. Watt says" we are struck with the pecu'
liarly funuel.shaped ladies we meet, the pres
ent fashion for feminine attire being very wide
at the base, and gradually drawing to point
at the apex. This makes every woman pyr'
amid-the symbol of strengthened signifies,
we suppose, that they are going it strong.
Whatever may be said about the dignity
and grace of the crinoline and strait cIoaks,
they are certainly conical ifDo! comica, and
none deny that lady, in the height of the
latest fashion, is funelly dressed"
That's the way they talk, and that's the way
they will go on to the end of time, and all the
while the dear, essed ere itures will keep
breaking hearts, and inspiring all sortS Of

Entering Town Sites.

The following correspondence will show
that the act of the last Legislature Of the
Territory, designating the County Commits
sioners as the proper persons to enter Town
Sites, is not recognized by the Commissioner
of the Land Office.
II is a question of doubt whether the Judges
Of Probate, or the United States Judges, can
be regarded as "Judges of the County Court"
As soon as that doubt is removed, notice will
be given. In the mean time no entering Of
towns not incorporated can be made.
A copy of the act of the last Legislator e
win be placed in the hands OF the Commits
%sioner. and, under the circumstances, the eu-
tries already made MAY be confirmed.
