DESTRUCTION OF AN AUSTRIAN STEAMBOAT
AND Two HUNDRED MEN-The following is ar
extract from the letter of the Daily News cor
respondent, dated June 21:
''The day before yesterday one of the Austrian
steamboats, which ran on the Lake of Garda had
started from the opposite bank with the object of
accommodating Garibaldis forces at Sale As
after action of Virle it was thought prudent
to strengthen the Cacciatori dele Alpi, a Pied
montese battery was sent there with two battalions
of fFanti's division. They had just arrived when
the Francis Joseph steamboat was ordered to steer
to the Brescian side of the Garda. She therefore
steamed in that direction; but at the moment she
was entering the harbor of Sale the Piedmontese
battery opened its fire upon her. Our guns had
been SO well directed that two of their round shot
soon destroyed her elegant stern. Of Course this
was signal for a hasty retreat, but as she was
about to turn her helm, a we'll directed grenade
fell on the middle of her deck. Two seconds af
forwards a tremendous explosion was heard the
grenade had made its way into the magazine, and
in less than five minutes the Francis Joseph was
in flames. A distress signal was hoisted but before
the Beedek could be sent from Peschiera to help her
crew, sank in the midst of the lake Not one of
the two hundred men she had on board was saved:
all of them perished either burned to death by the
flames or drowned i'll the waters of the classic

N3SALE OF THE COLLINS STEAMSHIPs.--The
Steamships Adriatic, Baltic and Atlantic, of the
Collins line, have been purchased by the Pacific
Mail Ship Company and the Panama Railroad
Company for about 100000. The New York Ex-
press says:
In October the contract with the United States
Mail Ship Company ceases, and two of the ships
will be put on the Atlantic side, and the Adriatic
sent to the Pacific, thus forming line, which
for comfort and costly boats has never been
euualled in the history of steam navigation. The
terms are part cash, and the issue of stock by the
Pacific Company. This purchase has been
deemed indispensable to protect the interest of
the buyers, but it will require the Pacific Com
hans more, as there will be second Pacific route
at once in the feld-and a long contest for the
trade.

Thy faith-inspiring verses,
So beautifully true,
Were as welcome to my heart
AS to flowers the evening dew.
They came when I was weary
With restless care and grief,
But breathing peace in every line,
They sweetly gave relief.
And may some soothing spirit,
When sorrow bows thy heart,
Return to thee the lesson
Which thy lovely lines impart.
Oh may some loved one whisper
That thy Fathers will is best,
And needing thy O,om teachings.
May thy aching heart find rest.

Daniel and Teresa.

Hon. Daniel E. Sickles and his wife Teresa are
together again and are represented as being the
most loving pair imaginable. The press of the
country is down ON Daniel, not so much because
he is a murderer but because he has forgiven and
become reconciled to his wife. Had Daniel with
all his sins upon him have held out against Teresa
all would have been right-his friends would have
adhered to him and he would have been marvel
Gus proper man, but he forgives one who, what
ever her sins may have been, is by no means as
debased as her husband, and the virtuous public
! drop him. They sympathise with the assassina-
| tor of an unarlned man and cast him off for for
| giring a woman. "Let him that is guiltless," sc.
| Now all this may be very proper and very
cllristain-lke but it is certainly queer. We con-
| fess we never had much opinion of the pair
Teresa is certainly fast-and by the term fast ap-
piled to her we mean good deal-and Daniel we
| have looked on simply as shoulder strtcker of a
higher grade, who, everybody will admit, we sup
pose, his elevation, politically to the muscle
kof the fancy and not his own fitness; but is Dan
II any BETTER is he good as his wife? Teresa
eknowledges her criminality with poor Key, but
she really guilty ?-or was the "confession"
de (cut and dried) only to give Daniel a pre-
It for cowardly assassination? We confess
hat the reconciliation between Daniel and Ter
sa strengthens confidence in her chastity
ot that we believe her as pure as Caesars wife,
but the reconciliation weaxens confidence in
the Confession and further it seems to that
Shad this criminal intimacy been going on Sickles
icould and should have stopped it at earlier day
Do not the facts now tend to show that blind
Ectim was led by a fast woman, acting under in
Iactions
nit that Teresa was guilty as she ''eonfess-
rs she more to be despised than Daniel? He
Ms her off for offence-had she cast him
q for each similar offence he would doubtless
lave been cast off fifty times. Those who know
him best say he is corrupt man, that he has not
Eand never had any respect for the marriage VOW.
kWhy then, we ask, all this virtuous indignation
Rat Sickles having taken back to himself a woman
syho, though corrupt, is ten times better than he
is ? Is it that the virtuous the very pious world
of humanity shall fall upon the head of woman,
OF is it because our best society can sympathise
with assassinators, provided they drive fast hor-
ses, fatter fast women, associate with the fancy
and hold seat in Congress?
Believing Teresa to have sinned we pity her
believing that Daniel had it in his power to have
prevented her fall and refused to do it, we des-
pise him.

May thy life be e'er as bright
As this sunny summers day;
May the sun of happiness
Shed on thee its cheering ray.
May thy ife-sky be rs clondlcss
As yon heavenly one to-day,
And no cloud of sorrow darkly
Cast shadows DER thy way.
But may guardian angels ever
Hover DER thy earthly way,
To guard thy nightly slumbers,
And protect thee through the day.
And oh may thy spirit ready,
When from earth thourt called away,
Wing its happy flight to Heaven

Won't you make my doll u cradle ~
Said a little girl of six;
My cousin Tommy made me one,
But that is out of fix,
And 1 want to have a nice one,
Made of little willow sticks
No mechanics heart e'er fiuttered
With more cxultant throb,
Than mine did at this order;
And time can never rob
My heart of its strange ecstacy,
On taking home the job.
That "cousn Toni know not why
l never could abide;
I felt strange uneasiness
To see him by her side;
and to win her undivided smiles
Unremittingly tried
Since then dozen fowery Springs,
In times unceasing roll,
Have laid their hand ON Mary's brow
Their impress on her soul;
And I've another cradle made,
But it's not for her doll.
I cannot tell you how it was
I'm sure never thought,
When but boy OF ten years old
That first rude job wrought,
That we should need another one,
But so it has turned out.
OF the two cradles I and she
Have oftentimes conversed,
And she declares the last one made
Is clumsiest and worst,
But L believe she likes it better
Than she did the first
