 A STAR BURNED OuT.--The Russian correspondent of the London Telegraph writes as follows:
 At Moscow physical phenomenan has been recently observed, such as would have given rise to the creation of whole cycle of fantastic myths in the times of the worlds infancy. We learn from para graph in the leading paper of that city. that at a quarter to ten o'clock, on ths night of the lst and 2d of March. star 10 the southwest of the Great Bear sud- denly commenced to wax larger, assum- ing at the same time the color of iron at read heat, but without the appearance of any sparks or rays. In this condition the star continued until half-pasl eleven, vary-I ing in the intensity of its light, and attain ing the size of nearly the half moon. A little before midnight the dimness began to increase, and at l2 o'clock the star had entirely disappeared. In ito stead a sort of black speck was to be noticed by tho light of the stars. which were unusually brilliant this evening It remains for the astronomers to describe, and poets 10 sing the destruction of the luminary, which, for aught we know, may have been the body of a race superior to our own.

On her return to his bedside, he was gone; and afer some searching she discovered him, by the traces of blood on the stairs and corridor, sitting down in the yard smoking his pipe with the greatest sang froid. She spoke to him seriously about disobeying orders and doing himself an injury, but he was perfectly callous on the subject of his toe. She succeeded, however, in working on his feelings at having disfigured the cor ridor with blood, and he came back say ing, ''Indeed, madam, could not help going to have pipe, for that was the nastiesi stuff 1 ever got drunk on in my life"-alluding to the cbloroform.

Footsteps of the Departed.
BY H. W. LoNGrELLow.

 When the hours of the day are numbered, And the voices of the night ...uG Wake the better soul, that slumbered, To holy, calm delight; Ere the evening lamps are lighted, And like phantoms grim and tall, Shadows from the ftful freight
 Dance upon the parlor wall; Then the forms of the departed
 Enter at the open door; The beloved, the true-hearted,
 Come to visit me once more. He, the young and strong, who cherished Noble longings for the strife, By the roadside fell and perished, Weary with the march of life. They, the holy ones and weakly,
 Who the cross of suffering bore, Folded their pale hands so meekly, n < Spoke with us on earth no more. l And with them the being beauteous, Who unto my youth was given, More than all things else to love me, And is now saint in heaven. With slow and noiseless footstep Comes the messenger divine, Takes the vacant chair beside me, Lays her gentle hand in mine. And she sits and gazes at me
 With those deep and tender eyes, Like the stars so deep and saint-like, Looking downward from the skies. z Uttered not, yet comprehended, Is the spirits voiceless prayer, Soft rebukes, in blessings ended, Breathing from her lips of air. Oh, though oft depressed and lonely, A All my fears are laid aside, @ If l but remember only
 Such as these have lived and died.

THE BIRTYPLAcE OF WAsHIScTos. Some years since Lewis Washington, a descendant of the General, presented to the State of Virginia the lot of land in Westmoreland county, on which stood the house in which the father of his country first saw the light of day. This was done with a view to having the spot marked by some suitable monument to the State. We learn that it is the intention of the Gov ernor and Secretary of the Commonwealth to proceed 10 Weslmoreland county and examine into the present condition of the birthplace of Washington, ceded 10 the State by his decendant They propose having the ground Gone or more acres) enclosed, and road made 10 It. It lies on the Potomac river. A monument will be put up to designate the spot A piece of hearlhstone of the ancient edlfice (per- haps the only remaining relic) is now in the State Capitol in Richmond. Many years since marble slab denoted the place of Washington's first home. but the mutations of time and chance, 1t IS be- lieyed, has caused il to disappear.
