The Land of Dreams.

mighty realm is the land of dreams.
with sleeps that hang in the twilight sky,
ana n weltcring oceans and trailing streams
That glcan where the dusky valleys lie.
But its shadowy borders fow
sweet rays from world of cndloss morn,
hnu the nearest mountains catch the glow,
And flowers in the nearest fields are born.
The souls ofthc happy dead repair
from thciowe OF flight to thatbordering land
And walk in the fairer glory there,
with the souls of the living, hand to hand
one calm, sweet smile in that shodowy sphere,
From eyes that open on earth no more
one warming word from voice once dear
How they ring in the memory o'cr and o'cr
Away trom those hills that shine with the day,
And fields that bloom in the heavenly gales,
The land of dreams stretches far away

Fatal RencOntre-Terribl Fight with
Pistols and Bowie Knives

On Saturday evening one of the bloodiest
and most desperate encounters ever recorded
even in the annals of Kentucky, took place in
Springfield. Washington county, between Ben
Palmer and w. Mack Booker. The former
was instantly killed and the latter is not eX-
pected to survive his wounds. There has
been some ill-feeling between the two, arising
from the election of Booker to the command
of company that had been raised in that
county to go to Utah.
The particulars of the desperate ARRAY are
these: The parties met in the bar-room of a
tavern in Springfield. and an alteration in
stantly ensued, one or the other first using his
fists. Each then drew a revolver and fired
four shots apiece in rapid succession. three of
Palmer's hitting Booker-one in the left hand,
a second in his leg, and third in the left
breast. The first shot fired by Booker struck
Palmer in the grOins, penetrating the bladder
"a mortal wound. He was also wounded in
the leg. After exhausting his shots Palmer
hurled his pistol with all his strength against
Booker, who, thinking himself mortally wOun-
ded, seized the other with his left hand by the
coat collar, and throwing away his pistol,
drew bowie knife and stabbed the I'M
fortunate Palmer nine times in the breast and
body. The latter fell dead in his tracks, his
body streaming blood at every pore. Booker
may possibly survive his wounds though tits
thought the shot in the breast will prove
fatal.
Booker is the son of Judge Paul Booker for
many years District Judge in the State. Pal
mer is son of the Hon. r. c. Palmer, eX-
Senator from Washington CO., and grandson
of the late Ben Hardin, of Bardstown.-LOu.

raelite Masons, were undoubtedly the heirs of
the art Of Hiram, the great architect, but I'M
fortunately they have lost it. In the Pardia-
pousenes we see David giving to his son the
plans and descriptions which he had received
from God, to raise to him a temple at Jerusa-
lem and in the proportions and forms in
dictated by the different books of the Bible,
we can trace the elements of the harmonious
system recognized by Mr.. Henzlemann."
This discovery of the German architect, the
correspondent of the Times adds, has excited
so much interest in France, that NJ. Lenoir,
an architect of Paris, has made report on
the subject to the Minister of Public Instruc-
I jon and Worship. M. Lenoir, according to
he same authority, not only approves the
discovery of Mr.. Henzlemann, but he sup
ports its truth and correctness with additional
proofs. 1t will perhaps be time enough to
inquire whether or not this discovery is some
morbid architectural dream, when we hear
what it is Meanwhile, we may admit that it
would be fine thing, truly, if the methodical
plodding of this German had seized the living
spirit of the dead body of ancient architec-
ture, as it lowered over the glorions ruins of
its material shrines. What would all the
glory of the antiquaries be compared with
this?

A New Sort or New Discovery.

New Sort OF New Discovery.
We take the following curious announce
NEXT from the Paris correspondent Of The New
York Times:
GFirst a word on a new discovery. Why
is 1t that the present century is so far inferior
TO the centuries Of the dark ages in the bar
inony and sublimity of its architecture: For
q long time it has been an opinion that the
singular harmony which reigns in the proper
tons of the architectural monuments of that
age was not the result of mere accident, and
that there must have been some mathematical
secret unknown to the present age. This
secret q German, Mr.. HenZlemann, has found.
II was secret which belonged to antiquity
as well as to the Greek and Roman epochs.
IL presldes as well at the construction of Sol
onions temple as at the Parthenons of Rome
and Athens. The discovery of Mr.. HenZle-
mann was the Result of study. With his
plumbiine, square, aud compass he Travelled
through Germany, Italy. France, and Eng
land, measuring and calculating, and finding
in all the structures of the different ages of
the past the same harmonious lines He has
demonstrated beyond contradiction the CO.
rela ion OF the Greek with the middle-age
al. hitecture.
This secret, which was the property of the
Brother Masons (Free-Masons of the present
dy), from the time Of the building OF Solo
aDn's temple dowI TO the fifteenth, perhaps
ev n 10 tn. sixteenth century, was ut last lost
by them, and the sublime art Of architecture
elt red its age Of decadence. The Greeks and
II sbrews took great pains TO keep this secret

THE WATERS OF THE MISSISSIPPI I'D ONO
RNERs.-We extract the following Aregard
to experiments of Typographical engineers on
the waters of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers
from the letter of Cairo river correspondent
of the st. Louis Republican:
Lieut.. Abbott's party of typographical en-
gineers are still at work near Columbus. and
will remain there until July, by which time
they expect to ascertain to a gallon, the
amount of water which flows down the Mis-
sissippi in year, and the effect of the levees
now built and building upon the river below.
At the deepest point they found one hundred
and fifteen feet of water, at low water. They
have ascertained that the current runs there
at the rate Of seven miles per hour; that there
is double the amount of sediment in the Mis-
sssippi that there is in the Ohio; that the wa
tiers of the two rivers in ordinary stages. do
not completely intermingle for a distance of
fifty miles below Cairo, and that the amount
of sediment at the top of the current is the
same as that seventy-five feet below.
