Bella DOVE.

The pale moonbeams, with mellow light,
In dreamy silence crept
Der low couch, where calm and bright,
A child Of beauty slept.
Many tear of woe was shed
O'er her pale marble brow,
From hearts whose cherished hopes bad fed,
With my lost Bella Dove.
Then scatter flowers DER her grave,
The head in sorrow bow
The little mound with tear-drops lave,
Where sleeps sweet Bella Dove.
Where flowers bloom the summer long,
Down by the brooklets wave,
The oak-tree bends its branches strong,
To guard poor Bella's grave.
The violet and wild rose-tree,
When twilight shades their brow,
Droop their sweet heads to mourn with me,
The loss OF Bella Dove.
Then scatter flowers, &c.
When evening shades steal on apasc,
And DER the brown leaves creep,
! often roam to that sweet place
Where Bella lies asleep;
And kneeling by the little stone
That marks the spot, cen now,
muse on all the love I've known,
For gentle Bella Dove.
Then scatter flowers DER her grave,
The head in sorrow bow
The little mound with tear-drops lave,
Where sleeps sweet Bella Dove.

PIKE's PEAKERs COMING TO CAIIFoRNIA-A
vast number of the disappointed Pixies Peakers
have gone on to California. The overland emf
grafton to that State will exceed any year since
1850. Mr.. Merrick, of this city, left the "mnes"
about the last of May, few days before the rich
diggings were found. He met between Cotton
wood Springs and Fort Kearney, in three days,
the following number of Pixies Peak teams en-
route for California, viz : June 2, 372 teams; Sd,
lC9 teams 4th, 2G4 teams; total, S0j teams.
These teams were mostly oxen, four yoke TO the
wagon, and would average five persons TO the
wagon. These were all met on the road along
the south side of the North Platte. lie passed an
equal number of teams encamped the owners
were discussing whether it was better to return
home or go to California. One of The officers at
Fort Kearney counted six thousand teams that
passed the fort in the first twenty days of May
going west up the South Platte road. 1t is i'm
possible to estimate the number OF persons who
started for the gold diggings this spring, but we
do not think 100000 an over estimate Chicago

y PEN-LIKENEss OF GARIBlLDI.-A correspon
dent of a London journal draws the following
sketch of Garibadi, the Italian patriot and lead
er. The description would answer admirably for
the hero Of a romance of the days OF chivalry.
Garibadi is lofty in stature, broad ehoudered,
with the head Of lion on the shoulders of an
athlete. His long, black, grizzly, uncombed
beard-his eyes flashing with lightning glance
bis black felt bat, ornamented with dark plumes
his scarlet mantle tied round his throat-pre
sent to you a parsonage Of no ordinary stamp.
lie is really gentleman, gallant to ladies, severe
10 men, and more severe TO himself, sober to ex-
cess, animated and cold at the same time. He
inspires in his little army a confidence only equal
cd by the terror he inspires in his enemes. Ever
the foremost in the fight, urging bis charger into
The tbckest battalions, dismounting now to seize
musket, sharing with the meanest follower the
labor Of the march. he gives an evidence alike OF
courage and coolness that astonishes all.

"After examining the inscriptions upon seve-
raj other monuments OF the family, the crowd
moved on by the old Tomb, and continued their
way until the stairs led them up into the greasy
plot. Right here stands the ice-house that was
Of The establishment. The pit must be thirty feet
into the earth, and is covered by fancful bower
like summer house, standing in the shade Of
ihe forest trees The hill is 50 abrupt that orig
inally there were two entrances in the side of the
deep pit to procure the ice. Now enc side at the
top has caved in, so that the yawning gulf is laid
open to the spectator. With this explanation,
will state that, leading the way up the stairs and
reaching the side Of rhe ice-hOuse, | found lady
Of noble appearance, whom ! bad seen on the
boat, overcome with grief Her white handker-
chief hid most Of her face, and the signing was
frequent. OF course my tender heart was worked
upon, and of all ! could guess, child of hers
might have slid into the dark pit. ] Immediately
advanced, and in kind language requested her to
make known her sorrow, il it was not impertinent
in a stranger to inquire, and that ! should be
most happy to aid her, if in my power.
She suddenly raised her eyes to me. as if in
proud surprise and pointing to the icehouse in
dramatic gesture, said I" Sir, is there anything
strange that Virginia woman should weep at

the steps, and were waiting the de1loument but
they suddenly turned on their heels, TO conceal

DARING ADVENTURE OF A TIGHT-RoPE WALKER
the following account Of the daring feat of Mons
Dlondin on the day previous
" There was large concOurse of people on
both sides of the river yesterday, perhaps ten
thousand to witness the daring feat of Monsieur
Blondin. On this side the enclosure known as
Whites Pleasure Ground, was made the place Of
starting. Here was collected perhaps one thou
sand persons. On the bank and below for half a
mile there was q crowd, on the opposite shore
There were stagings, which accommodated
large number Of spectators and large crowd,
which extended along the bank above and below
the rope. The British and American flags were
near neghbors, and a band was playing God Save
the Queen, Hail Columbia, and other national
airs. About four o'clock Mons. Blondin appear
ed in the pleasure ground and performed some
wonderful teats on the tight-rope, while a band
of music was playing. About five o'clock he was
ready for his feat, and the signal given for
his departure. He stepped boldly and nimbly
upon the rope which extended across the chasm,
amid the most deatcning cheers from both sides
OF the river. He took with him balls Of tWine,
with which to make his communication with the
Maid Of the Mist, which was playing around in
the stream below. lie then balanced his pole in
his hands and started with the same confidence
and careless indifference that be would perform
an act upon the stage Of theater. The rope
curved about fifty feet from a level line, and be
stepped quickly down the slope. When about
bali way down he stopped and laid himself down
taNy upon his back. and thus balanced himself
over the abyss. lie then passed on to the center
of the stream, and again rested, by sitting up and
lying on his back for some ten minutes, until the
Maid Of the Mist could gain position beneath
him This done he cast down one end OF the
twine, to which bottle was attached from lDe
steamer, and he drew it up and refreshed himself
from its contents lie was again greeted with
cheers from both sides Of the river, when he pro-
ceeded on bis journey without stopping until be
reached the opposite bank He was about twenty
minutes in crossing, including delays. After re-
naming some time among his Canadian friends,
he returned to this side having performed what
he promised, and what has been characterized as
dangerous and foolhardy'
