H NIGHT HAVE BEEN.
WIN heavy head bent on her yielding hand,
anu halfhushed cheek, bathed in feverec

Wild restless lips, and most unquiet eyes,
A maiden sits and looks out on the night.
Ihe darkness presses close against the pane,
And silence lieth on the elm. tree old.
through whose wide branches steals the white.

In htfuI CLEANS, us though 'twere over bold.
one hears the wind upon the pavement fall,
ana hits her head, as if to listen there;
Then wearily she taps against the pane,
or folds more close the ripples of her hair;
She sings unto herself an idle strain
And through its music all her thoughts are
seen:
For all the burden of the song she sings
Is, "Oh, my God it might have been %
AlaS that words like these should have the power
10 crush the roses of her early youth
That on her altar of remembrance sleeps
Some hope dismantled of its love and truth
mat mid the shadows of her memory lies
Some grave, moss-covered, where she loves to
lean,
ana sadly sing unto the form therein,
ut might have b'en-Oh, God it might have
been!"
We all have in our hearts some hidden place
Some secret chamber where cold corpse lies
The drapery of whose couch we dress anew.
Each day beneath the pale glare of its eyes:
We go from its still presence to the sun,
To seek the pathways where it once was seen,
And strive to still the throbbing of our hearts
With this wild cry, 'Oh, God it might have
been !"
We mourn in secret Ger some buried love
In the far Past, whence love does not return.
And strive to find among its ashes gray
Some lingering sparks that yet may live and
burn
And when we see the vanness of our task.
We flee away far from the hopeless scene.
And folding close our garments Ger our hearts,
Cry to the winds, "0h, God it might have
been!"
Where'er we 60, in sunlight or in shade,
We mourn some jewel which the heart has
missed
Some brow we touched in days long since gone by
Some lip whose freshness and first dew we
kissed;
We shut out from our eyes the happy light
Of sunbeams dancing on the hillside green.
And, like the maiden ope them on the night,
And cry, like her, sob, God it might have

AN EXOTIC IN THE WITNESS BOX

Some of the drollest things that eve,
present themselves to the notice of report
er are the efforts made BY lawyers to draw
the testimony they desire from refractory OF
stubborn witnesses. We saw Mi,esiau
gentleman upon the stand on Saturday last
who fairly bothered one of the shfewdest
lawyers in all Philadelphia The case was
an assault and battery, in which the exotic
IN question was called to testify for the
prosecution before police magistrate. The
dialogue that opened up was as follows:
" Mr.. O'Daley, where do you live ?"
"ln Clinton street, yer honor"
"And which way does Clinton street run?
" Leugthways, sir"
W hlch way is that, north or south %
" If you stand at the upper end, it runs
south, SIR if you stand at the lower end, it
runs north"
Then you mean to say that it runs north
and south ?"
Yes, sir; provided you stand midway
between the ends"
And what is the width of Clinton street,
Mr. O'Daly p
From side to side, do you mean ?"
Yes; what is the width from side to
side?"
Well, as near as can come to it, it is
Just the distance from one side to the other.
1t may be more, but Id not take me Bible
oath Of it,"
With whom do you reside, Mr.. ODaley?"
"With the man board with"
And who is he p
" Do you know Dennis-Mike Dennis the
butcher"
81 haven't that honor"
Then how the devil can you know who
board with p
Do you mean to say that you board with
Dennis 2"
" And if I didn't, Why should hand his
wife two dollars every Saturday night
barrin' the last one."
The Magistrate informed Mr.. O'Dalev that
he might leave the stand. He did so, and
with look of wisdom worthy of Solomon
himself. Whether he will be again called
lp, is more than we can say until the case
comes before the Quarter Sessions. Queer
people, these exotics.

OPEN THE SLAVE TRADE-DeBow's Re,
view has an article entitled African Slavery
adapted to the North and Northwest" The
following is an extract from it:
If the Union be desirable, land with a
rigid regard of mutual rights by the North
and South, no one will deny its inestimable
value, it is earnestly considered that the
most effectual means of giving it perpetuity
will be realized in the opening of the slave
trade, and the introduction of our peculiar
institution into the Western States and
Territories. By this we will construct a
homogeneous system of labor, and through
this bond of sympathy will be re.establshed
shat community Of sentiment, and the old
entente cordiale, without which the Constitu
ton is rope of sand, and The Union shall,

The PHRASE "LoG RoLL1NG."- The
phrase is drawn from the clearing Of forest
Land IN new country. The settler could
himself cut down the trees, and cut them
into lengths OF logs. The Lext step was to
roll them into heaps for burning, and that he
could not do without help; so be called his
neighbors to help him roll, ard when they
had rolling lie helped them. This was
aptIy applied to legislative action tor the
passage of laws for local measures. Vote
for my bill and will vote for yours. This
phrase was probably western; it is certainly
more than forty years old
