My Home.
BY HKNRy WILLIAM HERsERT.

A home. home. yes, yes! though still and small
have home! where soft the shadows tau
From the dim pine tree, and the rivers sigh,
Like voices Of the dead; walls ever nigh,
Nor hearth is there. nor hall. nor festive place,
Nor welcome smiles Of that bewitching face,
Nor the low laughter, nor the sweet fond tone.
That made pain pleasant-yet it is my own
Ny hearts, own home. where'er my foot may treac
o, for my narrow house and lowly bed.
Let others turn, when each has ceased to roam.
To the calm pleasures Of his childish home
Letothers turn, when days hot toili Ger,
TO that pure kiss that greeis them at the door;
To that bright eye which kindles at the round
OF their known foois,eps shedding glory rounds
= have nor childish home, nor earthly hold
The kiss that bres thed upon my lips is cold;
The eye that beamed for me is sdiinmed and dead
Oh, for my narrow house and lowly bed.
Earth has no home that can with mine compare
For thou, my own lost one, for thou art there,
II matters not that they are sealed in death,
Those founts of light, and still the balmy breath
And wan the radiant lip and lustrous brow
Itmatiers not-for il is always thou!
II matters not how cold, if / at last,
On that true heart of thine, when all is past,
May pillow once again my lonely head
Oh, for my narrow house and lowly bed!
Oh. weary waste, and weary is the day,
And weary is the night-ah! well away!
For anguish wakens with the rising morn,
And sleepless SORROW of the night is born.
And years must pass, long years, ere shall run
To that dear spot which fools are fain to shun;
The only home which now my soul doth crave,
Thy home-the long. the last--thine early grave
Oh, that for me the bridal sheets were spread
Now, in my narrow house and lowly bed

Florence Nightingale.

But by-andby the drawing room doors
are thrown open, and the ambassadrcss en-.
tiers, smiling kind and gracious welcome
Behind her are her daughters; by her side
tall, fashionable. naughty beauty.
could not help thinking how beautiful she
looked; but the next instant my eyes wan
dered from her cold unamiable face TO a
lady modesty standing on the other side oI
Lady Stratford. At fret thought she was
a nun, from her black dress and close cap.
She was not introduced, and yet Edmund

be obliged to speak just then, for ! felt
quite dumb as looked at her wasted
figure and the short brown hair combed
over her forehead like a child's, cut 50
when her life was despaired of from lever
but short time ago. Her dress, as have
said, was black, made high to the throat,
its only ornament being large enameled
brooch, which looked to me like the colors
of a regiment surmounted with a wreath
of laurels, no doubt some grateful offering
from our men. To hide the close white
cap little, she had tied white Grape
handkerchief over the back of it, only al
lowing the border of lace to be seen: and
This gave the nun-like appearance which
first struck me on her entering the room,
otherwise Miss Nightingale is by no means
striking in appearance. Only her plain
black dress, quiet manner, and great re-
nown, told so powerfully altogether in that
assembly of brilliant dress and uniforms
She is very slight, rather above the middle
height; her face is long and thin. but this

C.5-The Evansville Journal says that in
digging a we'll at Millgrove. Owen county,
last week. the men, after sinking the well
ten feet, came upon a large chamber. ac-
cessible by the removal OF few rocks
This cave was about ten feet square, and
formed a kind Of sn,e-chamber to a cave
considerably larger than the first, aud hsv-
ing deep abyss in tho centre, partially
filled with water. From this latter place
an opening was affected to still another
apartment, situated some twenty five feet
deeper still. In this the sound vi running
water was distinctly audible.

Nearly four years ago the Minnesota Weekly
Times came before the public, and from that
period to the present it has been battling for
the cause of freedom and the rights of man,
regardless of the ties of party or the sneers and
jibes of partizan leaders. By pursuing con-
sistent and straightforward career, by persist
ent devotion to principles, it has won its way
to public favor, and notwithstanding it is the
youngest of the city press, it has attained a
very large and rapidly increasing circulation.
This has been accomplished, not by system
of self-laudation, but by the spontaneous pat
ronage of its friends throughout Minnesota and
the Eastern States.
The Times has ever advocated, andswill con-
tinue to advocate, the cause OF the people, and
in doing SO it has advocated the cause of the
great Republican party whose principles it has
warmly espoused and will defend to the best
of its ability 1t never has and never will pam
der to the vices of the vicious, and never finch
es from graphing with error wherever it exists.
1t believes in au honest utterance of the truth
in adhering to right, justice and temperance
-iu an outspoken, manly condemnation OF
wrong in a just appreciation of the wants OF
guaranteed by Congress- and in the develop
ment of all those resources which are caleulat-
ed to place us first among the States of this
great confederacy. @l
Many new features will be added to the
TINES in the course of the year 1858. We shall
spare no pains to procure the latest and most
reliable news both at home and from abroad

port of the Markets, - and shall at all times

Literature, Art and Politics.
IT'S AIM WILL BE

FIRSr In Literature, to leave no province
unrepresented, so that while each number VIII
contain articles Of an abstract and permanent
value. it will also be found that the healthy
appetite of the mind for entertainment in its
various forms of Narrative, Wit, and Humor,
will not go uncared for The publishers wish
to say, also, that while native writers will re-
ceive the most solid encouragement, and will
be mainly relied on to fill the pages Of the
ATLANTIC, they will not hesitate to draw from
the foreign sources at their command, as occa-
sion may require, relying rather on the COM
potency of an author to treat particular SUBJ
iect, than on any other claim whatever In
this way they hope to make their Periodical
welcome wherever the English tongue is spo-
ken or read,
SECOND: In the term ART they intend to
include the whole domain of aesthetics. and
hope gradually to make this critical department
true and fearless representative of Art, in all
its various branches without any regaed to
prejudice. whether personal or national, or to
private considerations of what kind soever.
: THIRD: In Politics, the ATLANTIC will be
the organ of no party or clique, but viii hon
estly endeavor to be the exponent of what its
conductors believe to be the American idea,
It will deal frankly with persons and
with parties, endeavoring always to keep
in view that moral element which tram
sends all persons and parties, and which alone
makes the basis of a true and lasting national
prosperity. It will not rank itself with any
sect Of antics, but with that body of men which
is in favor of Freedom, National Progress, and
Honor, whether public or private.
As an earnest of the material at their COM
mand, they subioin the following list of literary
persons interested in their enterprise wishing
it, however, to be distinctly understood, that
they shall hope for support from every kind OF
ability which desires the avenue of their col
unns, and in the remuneration of which they
shall be guided purely by their sense of intrin-
sic merit
