which he fastened to . string, and

his fears) lowered it into the cisteIu.
Suddenly the candle was extinguish-

An Americas Amazon in Parts.

Miss t., known on the turf at Paris
as the fair Amazon of Washington,
was so brilliant at the races on her
horse, jet black, save q white star in
her forehead, that her appearance
was hailed everywhere with admira
ton and applause. A more lovely
person cannot be imagined she
guides playiully the most redoubt.
able courser. Beelzebub," the
name Of Miss T.'s horse, is so un.
tamable and ferocious, that no rider
can mount him, no groom guide or
stall him. He has already killed an
Englishman, named Thomas Dixon,
who undertook to groom him in the
stable. Rarey was powerless to
tame this terrible animal. Three
persons only can approach Beelze
bub; the irst is Miss T. herself. To
her Beelzebub is as plant, gentle,
and affectionate as a King Charles
spaniel. He follows her, he fawns
on her, and kneels tina: she may
mount him. He neighs when she
approaches. He is proud and happy
to carry her. He paws, he caracoles
he curvets, he never tries to unsea,
her. He obeys her word without
ever exhibiting the least importance.
Miss T. reciprocates M the affection
which her beautiful horse exhibits,
and loves him as q friend.
The two other persons who can
approach Beelzebub, are two young
ladies of sixteen and eighteen years
Jenny and Kitty Wilkinson. But
Beelzebub only suffers them, and
shows them no attachment. Jenny
and Kitty act as grooms to Beelze.

The Next Ten Years.

follows:
" What is now the condition Of af-

America and Europe which have been
the objects Of such immense OUTLAWS of
money in their construction, have at
length ceased to be the object of ex-
penditures, and become agents of. pro-

with all these faculties for material and
financial progress, we have supplies of

and California i'll streams more profuse
and prodigal than mankind ever here

In view Of all these propitious circuin-
stances, we repeat, it is fair to presume
that the next ten years will probably be
the most prosperous the world ever
knew.
