ID, have been handed U. for publication:
The castIed crag OF Drcchenfels
FroWns DER the wide and winding Rhine,
Whose breast Of waters proudly sweils
Between the banks that bear the vine,
And hills all rich in blossomed trees
And fields with corn and wine,
And scattered cities crowring these.
Whose fair white walls along them shine,
Have strewed scene which should see
with double joy vert th0R vi Ii me.
And peasant girls with deep blue eyes,
And hands which offer early flowers
Walk smiling Ger this paradise;
Above, the frequent feudal towers
Through green leaves lift their walls Of gray,
And many a rock which steepIy lowers,
And noble arch in proud decay,
Looks Ger this vale of vintage bowers
But one thing wants these banks Of Rhine
Thy gentle hand 10 clasp in mine
The river molly foams and flows,
The charm Of this enchanted ground
And all its thousand turns disclose
Some fresher beauty vary IN Z round;
The haughtiest breast its wish might bound
Through life to dwell delighted here
Nor could on earth spot be found
To nature and % me dear,
Could thy dear eyes in following mine
Still .weeten more these banks of Rhine.

Remarkable Gold Discoveries.

Quite an excitement was created in the
city yesterday by the arrival of James
Blackstone, one of the Russell, Majors s.
Cos, wagonma sters, with several nuggets
Of gold, concerning the discovery of which
the following account Is given:
Mr.. Blackstone was in charge of re-
turn train, with which he arrived Ia the
vicinity of Ash Hollow, on or about No
vember 22nd. He here indulged in a
buffalo hunt, and, after an exciting chase,
went to a small lake about six miles from
Ash Hollow, on the Platte River, for the
purpose OF getting a drink. He was here
surprised by discovering deposits of gold
in the sand, over ninety dollars worth of
which he picked up in few hours One
of the nuggets alone is worth twenty two
dollars, and can be seen at the store of
Russell, Majors s. Waddeli, on Main ST.
Mr. Blackstone was accompanied by
two men when the great discovery was
made, and proposes to return in the course
of fortnight Ash Hollow is distant from
Leavenworth but four hundred and sev,
enty five miles, and if the gold deposits
Whereabouts should iurn out to be anything
like what is indicated by Mr.. Blackstone 5
discoveries, a new inflatus will be given
to the gold fever, that extends throughout
the length and breadth of The land.
We think there is little doubt but that
the whole western portion of Kansas and
Nebraska will eventually turn out TO be
one immense gold field, unequalled either
in extent or richness.-[ Leayenworth

s Happiness is the true aim and end

EW Happiness IS the true aim and end
of existence, the legitimate result OF the
proper exercise of all our faculties, men,
tai and physical. For what else were
created our feet, hands, or eyes, but 10
confer pleasure In their exercise Teach
Young men and " Jmen that happiness Is
within their OWN control, that each for
himself must stand or fall, that every ac-
ton produces It's own effect, that a righ-
teous man will sink as quick as a wicked
one, if his ship be leaky, and they will
learn 10 observe natural laws, 10 be their
own saviors. and TO build up the kingdom
of heaven within their own souls. When
once they have traced the holy emotions
Of being to their cause they will ever Ia
Dor to sustain those conditions which are
productive ef she highest enjoyment, and
thus re;avenate and spirllualize their
entire being-nol erucifying the body fer
the souls sake, but cherishing It as the
worthy temple of the indwellins God.

B@ When young woman behaves to
her parents in a manner particularly ten
der and respectful, from principle as well

lie that may not be expected of her, in
whatever condition she may be placed
Were to advise a friend as TO choice

out for one distinguished for her attention
and sweetness to her parents" The fund
Of worth and affection indicated by such
behavior, Joined to the habits of duty and

transferred 10 the married state, will not
fail 10 render her : mid and obliging

EEF The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
is reported TO have said, in lecture of
the Fraternity course, in Boston, ,ha,
" selfish men always believe IN total de-
pravity," and he gets severely rebuked in
the papers of his denomination Are they
not little too fast, Mr.. BeeGher did
not say the doctrine IS not true. But ey-
ervbody knows that the worst men take
the worst views of human nature. If the
best men do so, also, then extremes meet,
and we have q coincidence, which IS
harmless enough.

that few days since a man called at the
residence of Mr. Adam Dut,on, in La
Sale county, Illinois, and asked for some
thing 10 eat. Mrs Duuon, who happened
TO be entirely alone at The time, immedi-
ately placed some food before him. He
then suddenly assumed an insolen. tone
and maner, threw the food out a, The
door, and demanded money. Mrs. Du,-
ton, now thoroughly alarmed, assured him
she had none In her possession upon
which he sprang upon her, seized her by
the hair and dealt her severe blows. She
managed to disengage herself from him,
and selzlng billet OF firewood. gave him
blow which so stunned him, that she
succeeded in getting him out of the door,
which she Immediately barred and secured
as well as possible. The desperate, on
recovering his senses, was terribly enrag-
ed, and drawing 4 knife, commenced
sharpening it upon the door stone As
the door could be but slightly secured
Mrs. Duiton, anticipating auoher assault,
cast about her for means 10 repel the
enemy, who, knife In hand, soon made a
fur ious onset, but was met at the thresh-
hold with kettle of boiling water, dashed
full over his face, neck and breast, which
Immediately sent him bowling with pain.
He was soon missing, and on the return

not be found, and nothing has since been
heard of him. II affords US unqualified
pleasure to record such evidences of gen.

An ILLUSTRATION BY FRANKLIN.-
The following is pertinent and truthful.
There are too many IN this world who,
If they knew or cared for anything be-
yond making money. would feel them
selves palpably hit:
Once upon time, the conversation
having turned, in the presence of DR..
Franklin, upon riches, and young per-
son in the company having expressed his
surprise that they ever should be atten-
ded with such anxiety and solitude-in-
stancing one of his acquaintances. who,
though In possession of unbounded wealth,
yet was as busy, and more anxious than
the most assiduous clerk in his counting
house. The doctor took an apple from
a fruit basket aud gave il to child, who
could just totter about the room. The
child could scarcely grasp II in his hand.
He then gave 1t another, which occupied
the other hand. Then choosing third,
remarkable for its size and beauty, he
presented that also. The child after
many Intellectual attempts TO hold the
three. dropped the last on the carpet and
burst into tears. % See there" said the
philosopher, there is little man with
more riches than he can enjoy"

teries that surround the churches of Charles
ton, saw sight that moved me deeply. In
front Of new made grave, where a little child
had been buried, stood three children, the cid
est about twelve years and the youngest about
five years. Each held in her hand beautiful
bouquet of newly plucked flowers. Silently
with not word spoken, the children advanced
TO the resting place of their little sister and
placed the flowers on the fresh grave. They
paused one moment and then silently turned
away and entered the church, where the deep
tones of the organ seemed to call them to the
house Of prayer. | learned that the mother
was absent at the Virginia Springs on account
of feeble health; that the lamb OF the flock had
died after the mother had left her home, aud
these little children, having been the mourners
at the hour of burial, now kept watch and ward
over the remains of the loved one, made their
daily visit to the grave and kept its memory
fragrant by daily contribution offowers till
mother should come home" Alas a mother
they may never see again.-COr. Of Boston

New YORK, Sept 9.-The barque o. G.
Hanes brings Buenos Ayres advices of the
10th ofJuly. The first hostile shots had been
exchanged between the authorities of the Ar
gentine confederation and the officers of the
state of Buenos Ayres. Two Buenos Ayres
war vessels, removing from the city for Corr
enteS, were fired on when off Rosario but sus.
tanned but little damage. After passing, one of
the vessels seized an Argentine war steamer,
and took from her a lot of war materials The
American steamer Ascension, having Hon
VIM. Yancey, u S. Minister, Capt. Stedman,
U. 5. Navy, and some American ladies on
board, was also fired on when steering direct
for Rosario from Buenos Ayres. In reply to
Mr.. Yancey's demand for explanation, he was
tod that the Ascension was mistaken for Blu
enos Ayreian steamer, although Col Santa
Cruz, who gave the order to fire, should have
known her.
Gen. Urquiza arrived at Parana on the 26th
of June with twelve hundred troops, but he
was in bad health.
Rosario city was being put in state of de-
fence.
Trade was exceedingly dull in Buenos
Ayres, and rates Of produce entirely specula-
tive The government compact with Messrs
Hopkins and Ocamps, for the making of a rail
road to San Francisco, was very favorable to
the contractors. A good many city improve
ments were being carried out
