LINES,


10 the memory Of Mrs. Elis1beM R. Stovsr.
Oh why should we sorrow and weep for the dead
Tho the cold earth pillow the once gentle head,
And shut from our sight the soft light of the eyes,
The spirit hath fed to its own native skies.
OIL why should we mourn them when blest angels
bright
Are waiting to bear them to regions of light;
Where the dark waves Of sorrow neer break on
the soul,
And the rivers of pleasure eternaly roll
Yet sad were our hearts when they laid thee to
rest,
And we knew the Geld earth lay heaped on thy
breast;
And we wept when we thought. thy brief life now
Ger,
We should see thy frail fern, beloved one, no
And fOndly they mourn thee, whose eyes dimmd
with tears,
When they watched and they wept, through hopes
and through fears
Who fain would have held thee away from the
grave,
But sunk in their anguish, too feeble to save
Yet how can we NOUN thee whose fond hopes
had fled,
Who longed to be laid by the side of thy dead;
When death but released thee from sorrow and
pain,
And loved ones were waiting to clasp thee again!
Then sweet be thy sleep in earth's quiet bosom
Where roses will bloom and young buds blossom,
And their odors breathe. till they wither and fade,
Where thou and thy loved ones together are laid
Though sad were our hearts when they laid thee
to rest
Yet, blissful thy waking mid scenes of the blest,
When thy spirit, forsaking its mansion of clay,
Awakes meath the noontide and glory of day;
Where the sorrowing hearts neer heaved by a
sigh;
Where the garlands of Hope neer wither and die;
Where the foud eye Of Griefs nevr dimmd by a
tear;
And the flowers of Love meier droop Ger the bier.

AN INcIDENT.-About month since, a
stranger of fine personal appearance, evident
y reared amid the associations of good so>
ciety, applied to one of The benevolent So
cisties of our city to be taken into their in
firmary, as he was suffering under the first
attack of fever, and had no friends in the
city. He was one of the first who came from
the far North to seize the golden opportunity
for desirable business situations made vacant
by death, but found the beckoning of Fortune
to be in reality the wave of the skeleton hand
of the Pestilence.
Around his couch strangers ministered
with the tenderness and the assidulty of life
long friends; but the fever ran riot in his
veins, and his iron constitution only made
the struggle with the disease the more ter
ribe. From the day he sought assistance,
it was evident he was doome! but in h S
descent into the dark valley he had all the
attentions which could have been provided
in the Northern home.
The benevolent friends who had watched,
and nursed, and mnistered to him, and pro
vided him with last resting. place in our
city of the dead, wrote to his friends the sad
tidings OF his decease, conveying his last mes
sages Of love to parents and relatives, and
such consultations to the bereaved as were
naturally suggested.
In seven days from the receipt Of the let
ter in that Northern home made desolate,
while the fever was at its height, cousin,
in the prime of life and vigor Of manhood,
arrived in the city to convex the body Of his
deceased relative to its last resting-place be-
meath the funeral willows in the family bury
Iing-ground. Scarcely had he time to find
the charitable friends Of the deceased before
hs was seized with fever; his application for
the body Of his relative proved = demand
for the same charities that had beer bestowed
upon the recent dead. He was placed in the
same in6rmsry, occupied the same couch
and after wrestling with the pestilence seven
days, died, and now lies buried by the side
of him be came to bear back to his native
home.--N. o. Picdyune.

toilets, unsurpassed anywhere, graced the
house. Mary beautiful women, too, were
present, as We'll as large gathering of nota-
bllltes. Mr. Ullman has redeemed bis pledge
OF having a superior orchestra. There must
be about fifty choice players who do their
work well. We did not hear Mile. Piccolo-
mini in the first art. and Judge of her from
her rendering of the second, third aud fourth
acts. In person she is rather under the mid
die height. In carriage she is graceful and
high bred. Her face boasts of a pair of dark
eyes OF exceeding vitality and expression,
well TUNED features, and remarkable powers
OF mobility. Her nature evidently is quick,
ardent and enthusiastic. Her voice is warm
y toned, and, in the achrymose portions of
the opera, which abound, is full of the love.
lness OF tragic sorrow. In equality it is not
OF the hignest rank, but the electricity of
the artist lends it at the climax of intensity
an expression which is apart and truly admir-
able. In the three acts which we heard,
there Is no iofid music, 50 we can not Judge
OF her ability to executeit. 10 declamatory
and sustained singing passages, she is excel
lent. Her phrasing leaves nothing to bs
desired. Her enunciaton is perfect With
true air of Italian nature, she is prodigal
Of facial expression, answering to the senti~
menL of the moment. As an actress, she is
charming. Her play of the arms is partc-
uarly good. The last scene of the broken
hearted, dying cousumptive was best at the
close. The Lremulous agony Of JOY at meet
ing her lover was exquisiiely faithful to nature.
The impression left on us was not that of
grand, but beautiful artist--inished and
fascinating. The applause of the audience
was heartiest at the end, when Mile. Piccolo-

INDIAN SUMMER.

There is time, just when the frost
Prepares to pave old Winters way,
When Autumn, in reverie lost,
The mellow daytime dreams away;
When Summer comes, in musing mind,
To gaze once more on hill and dell
To mark how many sheaves they bind,
And see if oil are ripened we'll.
With balmy bleath she whispers low;
The dying flowers look up and give
Their sweetest incense ere they go,
For her who made their beauties live.
She enters meath the woodlands shade
Her zephyrs lift the lingering leaf,
And bear in gently where are laid
The loved and lost ones of its grief
At last, old Autumn, rising, takes
Again his sceptre and his throne,
With bOisterous hand the tree he shakes,
Intent on gathering all its own.
Sweet Summer, signing flies the plain,
And waiting Winter. gaunt and grim,
Sees miser Autumn hoard his grain,
And smiles to think it's all for him,

MYSTERIOUS D1scovERY THE New Oh

MYSTERIOUS DISCOVERY. The New Or
leans Courier, of the 9th, says:
A most horrible and mysterious discovery
of a wreck at sea, is reported by Captain
Farley, Of the ship VIM. Singer, arrived
yesterday from London. He says that on
the Goth of September last, in lat. SO. 40,
long. 1857 West be discovered wreck tO
the Northward, which proved to be the bark
Mayfower of New York, with her bulwarks
gone and nothing standing but her mizzen
mast. On sending boat on board they
found human bones strewed about the deck,
and the bodies Of woman and child in the
last stages of decomposition. The only ar
ticles on board which could be identified,
were bundle Of shirts, socks and handker-
chiefs, marked A. in red and B. D. j. and
J. D. j., in blue thread, chronometer dial
marked "Two days, Leavett, LeadeDhall

cles Of little value belonging to the master
or mate; and silver watch "No. 9O5O, g,
j. Dram, maker, London"
She was loaded with stone, and had evi'
IDENTIFY been boarded before, as she was strip
ped to the guuwales. The imagination
shudders in picturing the story of horror, q
sequel of which is shadowed forth by this
discovery of Capt. Farley's.

THE TRUE TONE OF POLITE CONVERSA.
TICN AND FAMILIAR LETTERS


When woman OF feeling, fancy and ac-
compllshment, has learned to converse with
ease and grace, from lo1g intercourse with
the most polished society, aud when sue
writes as she speaks, :he must write letters
as they ought to BE- written; if she has ac-
qulred just as much habitual correctness as
Is reconcleable with the air of negligence.
A moment of enthusiasm, burst of feeling,
a flash of eloquence, may be allowed but
the intercourse Of society. either in CONVEX
satou or in letters, allows no more. Though
nterdicted FROM the long continued use Of
elevated language: they are not without
resource. There is part of language
which Is disdained by the pedant or the de-
olalIAer, and which both, if they knew its
difficulty, would dread it is formed of the
most familiar phrases and turns, in daily use
/ oy the generality of mankind, and is full
OF energy and vivaciy, bearing upon it the
mark Of those heen feelings aud strong pas
sions FROM which it springs 1t is the en-
Ployment Of such phrases which produces
what may be called colloquial eloquence.
Conversation aud letters may be thus raised
10 any uegree OF animation, without depart
ing from their character. Anything may
be SAID, If it be spoken III the tone of socie>
ty the highest guests are welcome, if they
come IN the easy undress of the club; the
strongest metaphor appears without violence,
if 1t Is tamiliarly expressed and we then
more easily catch the warmest feeling, if we
perceive that it is Intentionally lowered in
expression out of condescension to our calm
er temper. 1t is thus that harangues and
declamations (the last proof of bad taste
and bad manners in conversation are avoided
while the fancy and heart find the means of
pouring forth all their stores. To meet this
desPised part of language in a polished
dress, and producing all the effects of wit
and eIoquence, is a constant source of agree
able surprise. This is increased when few
bolder aad higher words are happily wrought
into the texture of this familiar eoquence.
Conversation is relaxation, not business and
must never appear to be occupation.

SoRRowFUL-A woman, formerly Of New
ark, N. j., but who, for the past year, had
been living in Chicago, few days since
started, with sick child in her arms, to re-
turn to Newark. When near Cleveland
Ohio, the child died in her arms. The moth
er, disconsolate, and far from friends, with
scarcely money enough to reach her friends,
rather than leave her babe among strangers,
continued on her journey, and reached New
ark, having carried the dead infant in heI
arms the entire distance.
