THE HEART OF F REL
BY WILLIAM NJ. BRIGGS.

BIZ hlLLAAh ohAoOos
Oh widest heart that ever beat,
On faithful breast reposing,
Oh fondest truth, oh! passion sweet,
Oh! love beyond disclosing!
Come. round thine eye-lash TO the cheek,
And veil ats tortured culver,
Too sad, dear friend, their anguish bleak,
Too wild this angry SILVER;
Oh Heart OF Fire!
There-close thine eyes! Hay my hands
Ia loves divinest greeting,
And all thy forehead's beauty stands
Pale white, as steel in heating;
Thy heart TO mine, and mine 10 thee,
Two rocks that in midcurrent,
Breast boldly out the whirling sea,
And dash in wrath the torrent,
AS ours, fond Heart!
Too late we look upon the Pa.i,
Wrecked in that wild disaster,
The pain iha, bound those moments fast,
Shall bind the Future faster.
I'll tear each fibre ofmy life
That but for thee was growing
Thy faithful heart hath felt the knife,
AMI mine shall stanch the flowing:
Thou wounded Heart,
For through il AL. so lost TO fame,
Our purpose dared not falter-
oh faithful soul, thy heart of flame
Burned pure on passions altar;
In field Of Heaven, when angels brigh,
Rise up TO praise God loudly,
They ne'er will turn their foreheads white
Toward Him more pure or proudly,
Than thine, true Heart!
The Past has been like branding Steel
That stamped lis anger deeply,
Aud what we felt, as what we feel,
But proved Us more completely.
We read with dry eyes more than all
That living death grasses,
Nor feared 10 tear the funeral pail
That hid our dear hopes faces,
In scon, brave Heart.
And when in pain we smiled with lips
Dead-white in plying culver,
The Past grew all one blank eclipse,
Our souls more clear than ever;
| kiss thine eyes, kiss Thy brow,
l kiss thy bosom's whiteness,
Dear friend, never knew, Till now,
That Love could wear such brightness
Al rest, calm Heart
An, me What fountains of surprise
Lie in a midnight tremble
Down the deep convex of thine eyes,
That Loves full heavens resemble,
While golden stars and magic dreams
Float upward 10 a sweetness,
30 full-Hope stands for what it seems,
Aud Love o'erfiows completeness;
flushed Heart, al rest
Oh loved once. in heartfelt love,
BE Ius,ful in the loving,
For sadly of we strive to prove
What scarce is worth the proving;
For loving once let life suffice,
And fun content content us,
Lest Heaven take back the sweet surprise
She trembled when she lent u.s.
Heart, filled at length.

SoUIETy IsLANDs-It seems that the authorities Of
these Islands are quarreling among themselves and
to settle matters last accounts the party in power
offered Consul Owen, Of the United States. to sur
render the islands Of Tahaa and Raiatea to our Gov
ernmeut and handed him official letters to that effect
for transmission to Washington. This movement
gave great oense to the representatives OF England
and France, who melted a sort of revolution. In this
state of affairs the French war brig HydrogTaphe,
arrived, and her commander took Mr. Thomas Croft
and Mr. Jordon, American citizens into custody and
conveyed them to Tahiti, account Of their annexa

A SEARCH FOR THURsToN UNDER SPrRrTUAL Dr.
RECTIoNs.-We learn that two gentlemen, with
hope inspired by the assurances Of some Sprituasts
Of Adrian, left that city this morning to make an
other search for the body OF poor Thursten
We understand that Mrs. Aldrch, a 'mediumn Of
Adrian, gave out on Friday morning last before hav
ing seen any Of the party that search of Mr..
ThuystOn, that Messrs. Bannister and Wood Of that
party, while separated from the balance of the com
pany in the neighborhood Of where the balloon was
found, saw a house at great distance-that they
omitted to 60 to it account of its distance and the
difficulty Of getting there. She says Thurston is in
that house, alive
On yesterday, we are told other mediums corro-
bOrated this, and said further that Mr. T was then
(Sunday,) suffering from high fever.
This party will probably be heard from within two
or three days.-[Toledo Blade, 28th.

Recorder Barnard. with view of preventing the
prize fight between Morrissey and the Benecia Boy,

thewarant The exact destination of the pair is
kept secret but doubt they Will be next heard from

by the Recorder but reoeed greatly when they found
out that Heenan and his trainer had escaped the

rather guess that the spirit which did the mischief

markable coincidence it has been remarked that the

have also been distinguished by superior yintages,
and the quality OF the vintage has risen in proportion
to tile brilliancy Of the comet. Indeed, so marked
has this fact become, as to assume the character of

Az IMPROVED DIVING BELL.-The N. 7. Evening
Post Of the 3Oth uIt gives the following description
Of q recentIy-invented diving apparatus:
An interesting trial was made yesterday of the
diving bell invented by Van Buren Ryerson, and used
by Kroehl & husted, in removing Diamond Rock
east Of Governors Island. The belt is of new and
very ingenious design, and operates the same prin
ciple as the Nautilus no machinery being used to
lower raise it; and it remain below for hours
independent of all communication with the upper
world and theuis raised lowered by its occupants
simply touching valves, which letn or condensed
air or water. Five men went down at o'clock yes
terday morning. and remained below, at the depth of
twenty-five feet working at the rock until Ii p Nj.
During this time they bored hole six feet long and
two inches wide, in the solid rock.
The bell is formed Of two shells Of stroag boiler
iron, placed about foot apart and divided BY hor
zontal floor and vertical partitions, with different
compartments. Al the bottom, q heavy east iron
hollow ring is attached to give to the apparatus the
necessary weight, which is % tuns.
The outside diameter is ten feet and of the inside
eight feet, and the extreme hight of the bell is
twelve feet. The bell is cylindrical in shape with
convex top. The admission of water into the cells
sinks the machine and its expulsion causes it to a.
cend. When the air inside becomes Eitiated by
breathing, a spray is thrown by hose, and this
taking up the carbonc acid gas restores to the air
its freshness and vitality.

u"ravoraals Accounts from Flke's Peak.
The Occidental Gio) Messenger, Of the 18th ult.,
has the following:
Several gentlemen arrived at this place on Thurs
day Ia4t, direct from the gold mines near Pixies
PEAK. Ihe parties live in Ray county, NO. aud have
spent several months prospecting for gold in these
mines IheY state That as many as one hundred and
fifty persons bad been at the mines tlis summer and
had iexpore4 and prospeeted them to their heaTtis
content. This party represent that nearly ali had
abandoned the mines, they being about the last b
leave. They say that gold certainly exists in that
whole section OF country as they never tried M anv
point but they succeeded in washing ont a small
quantity from the dirt, but the yield was 80 small
that it would not pay the miners at work while they
there, not averaging az much as fifty cents per
day. The gentlemen intend when they arrive at
home in Ray, TO publish an account Of their adyen
lures and success in the mines, together with the
prospects and inducements for others to go.
The Lawrence (Kansasl Republican, Of the 23d,
says: During the past week there have been several
dvals in town from the gold regions Of the Rocky
Mountains, From Mr. Baker, who was one Of the
original Lawrence company, we learn that that com
pany have gone to the Spanish Peaks instead Of Cher
ry Creek. The Spanish Peaks are in New Mexico,
about SIX days journey south from Pixies Peak. The
Lawrence company have been enCamped nearly all
summer at Pixies Peak, and have sent prospecting
companies into all the country round about They
found gold in all the streams, but not in sufficient
quantities TO prove profitable mining with their pres
ent facilities Mr. Baker is confident that there
rieh deposits Of gold in all that region, and that,
with proper facilities for mining it could be made to
pay WE'LL He confirms the account that there is q
| georgia company at work on Cherry Greek. 1t ia
from this Georgia company that the arrivals Of gold
to Kansas City have been received. The Lawrence
| company have gone TO Spanish Peaks. and will
! probably winter in New Mexico.
