W. NAV not see its dawn sublime.
VET high hopes make the heart thrOb lighter.

When il awakes the world in wonder,
Rnt we have felt il gathering round,
And heard its voice of living thunder
rTis coming! yes, It's coming!
I'll. coming now, .he glorious time
Foretold By seers, and sung in story,
For which, when thinking was a crime.
Souls leaped to heaven from scafolds CORY!
They passed, nor saw the work they wrought,
Nor the erownd hopes Of centuries blossom,
Bat the live lightning of their thought,
And daring deeds doth pulse earth's bosom;
TTis coming. yes, It's coming.
Creeds, Systems, Empires rot with age,
But the great Peoples ever youthful;
And il shall write the Futures page,
To our humanity more truthful.
The gnarlish heart hath tender chords
To Waken at the name of Brother;
The time will come when scorpion words
We shall not speak to sting each other
lis coming! yes, tbs coming!
Out of the light, ye Priests, nor fling
Your dark, cold shadows on us longer.
Aside! thou worldwide curse called King,
The Peoples step is quicker, stronger.
There's a divinity within,
That makes men great whence they will it
God works with all who dare to win,
And the time eumeth to reveal it,
lis coming yes, tits coming!
Aye, it must come. The tyrant's throne
lserumbling with our hot tears rusted;
The sword earth's mighty have leant on,
Is canker'd with cur hearts blood erusted.

MADAME LOLA MoNTEz-Speech on Board the
PacWc,-Among the passengers by the Pacific from
New York, which reached Galway, Ireland a couple
Of weeks ago, was the celebrated Lola Montez. The
Galway Vindcator says:
The countess was received with every attention and
respect by the officials and few friends who went on
hoard on the arrival Of the vessel. She wore a
tounCed black silk dress (sans crinonel and oyerit
a rich fur mantle trimmed with beaver fur. Her bon.
net was OF brown silk, trimmed with purple velvet
and few flowers, and she wore a richly ieWeled
Maltese cross In Appearance and manner Madame
II quite prep0ssessng and agreeable. We learned
from herself that she has come to Ireland for the
purpose OF delivering lectures at Dublin Cork Linn
erlck, Waterford, Belfast, and, finally Galway on
"Amerca-lts People, and its Social Institutions -
and she added that she meant to talk about them as
they arc but not they have been misrepeseutpd by

who have already "dOne them She smoke in terms
of very warm affection of Ireland as her native land
and said she was most anxious to visit Limerick her
birthplace which she left when mere child.
On the evening of the 20th the passengers in the
saloon invited Captain Trocks to a complimentary
dinner. The chair was filled by II. Burr Esd of
New ! Ork, who proposed "PrOsUertV to Ireland

Burr responded. The secretary to the committee Of
passengers, MIR. Gray (hrother to DR.. Gray OF the

appropriate remarks, presented Captain Trocks on
behalf OF the passengers with the resolutions and

The AssAssISs Of THE INN.-The Charleston (Ya)
Republican tells the following as happening in the
vicinity of Mount Pleasant, in that State, not long
since:
Not far from Mount Pleasant, back in the country
Franklin the proprietor, has two deaf and dumb
daughters, sprghty Intelligent and interesting By
signs they often carry on animated Conversations
especially with each other, aud members Of the
family
Last week, two foot travellers stopped for the night
at this house aud, after supper with the family were
shown to a room, in which was good fire and bed
for their accommodation. The kind host on entering
the room in the morning. found that the bed had not
been occupied, and that his guests had flown He
however, found on the table money or their supper
and a note stating that in consequence of signs
made at the supper table by the young ladies, they
did not think it safe to 60 to bed and therefore paid
the bill and took their departure.

A MODERN DGANA.-We learn, says the Shppens-
burg (Pa) News from persons in that vicinity that
large herds of deer have been seen and several killed
on the South mountain this season. few DAYS since
gentleman residing near Cleyersburg, returning
home from the mountain, remarked to his wife that,
had she accompanied him thereto she could have seen
one Of the most imposing sights one could winess-s
herd Of deer She told him that if he would follow
her the cellar, she would show him as fine buck
as he had seen in the mountain" Accompanying her
to the cellar he was surprised to find one of the finest
OF the herd, large buck, arhich she had slain 1t
appears that in the early part Of the evening she
heard the dogs in the premises keep up an unusual
noise, and pursuing them she found that they were
worrying large deer Selling it by the horns she
called for knife which was hastily brought her. when
she dispatched her captive. Numbers repair to the
settlements for food, which, learn is very scarce
on the mountain.
We don't believe that story but if it be true, the
buck.killing lady can travel on her muscle Her
husband should preserve that horns as the most
remarkable trophy ever presented by chaste dame

to fall in love himself he must spoil the little love of

a NEAPoL1TAN DUSGEoN.-A Naples correspond
ent of the London Daily News gives the following
description of the dungeon in which Nicotera, DO
tical prisoner, is confined Nicotera was sentenced
to death for being concerned in an insurrectonary
movement bat as the Neapolitan organ announced,
the King in his clemency spared his ife The letter
referred to says;
His life was saved only with view to make him
taste, drop by drop, the pains of a more horrible
death. The eXecutoner would have relieved him of
his suierngs in moment but this would have res.
cned him too quickly from those who wished to feed
upon his agony and had destined him to be the vic.
tim Of protractel death. At first he was shut IN,
not in the ErgastOlo Of S. Stefano, where the law
should properly have kept him, but in the worst
dungeons Of the Eicaria Of Naples After time he
was buried in the fearful Colombaia of Trapan and
afterwards at the beginning Of October III tile Sc.
pulchraI dungeons of S. Caterina, in Faygnana
In past times, that fort reserved for the pun
lshment OF state prisoners, but as civilization pro-
gressed it was closed now however it has been re-
opened. In that part of the fort called the Fossa
just above the top of the gate is this inscription in
Italian; You enter living, and leave it dead" By
four huudled steps you then descend to below the
level OF the sea, uutl yOu arrive in the iuferna cav
ern where the unfortunate Nicotera is guarded at
sight by two Sentinels, without seeing the sky and
with difficulty receiving air from the narrow holes,
which admit dim light. Here there is an insnf1er
able humidity, as cannot otherwise be the case in
dungeons under ground-a humidity which s suffi.
clept, IN few days, almost to rot the clothes on the
back Of the prisoner.

ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE IN ARKANsAs-L Lt7,eh
Ldc.-A friend who has recently Travelled through
portion Of the State of Arkansas, and especially
through Red River Bottom where the following incl.
dent occurred related it to in our editorial sane
tuIn as follows: man by the name of Rogers stole
horse from an honest old farmer of Arkansas, and
Wended his way up into Washington county where
he SAID he sold 1t to farmer there. But upon his
rot being able to give the oil the man nor make
satisfactory explanation, company who had been
IN pursuit Of the horse and thief took him into the
woods and tied him to log and gave him between
two hundred and three hundred lashes well laid on
This had the effect Of bringing him to terms He
then confessed where the horse was, and who were
his accessories The company then proceeded to Red
River Bottom, where they found the missing horse
ana hYe fellows, whose business it was to steal all
the horses, and whatever else would paw that they
could, whom they hung to limbs of trees until they
were dead, dead, dead Upon consideration Of Rogers
having turned, he was spared. As our informant
rOCe past the spot where the edct of lynch law had
gone forth, and the horrible spectacle ofts execution
was witnessed, one poor fellow was seen dangling
between heaven and earth suspended by his neck to
the limb OF tree, whose branches extended across
the road with this inscription written upon his back
Tennessee horse thief, if you like him better than
do, You can take him down and bury him. We will
simply state that our Informant is highly respect
able gentleman, and this narrative NAV be relied
upon as true. memphis Eagle.
This man Rogers is, we believe the same for whose
msdeeds one Thos. j. Rodden was severely handled
