He quickened the horses, and turned their
heads towards home. The horses flew fas-
ter than ever. The driver excited them 10
increased speed by sharp whistle, and
made them describe curve which inter-
sected one of the horns of the crescent
The wolves opened their ranks and let the
horses pass
The Prince raised his gun 10 his shoulder.
"For Gods sake, don't fire! !' exclaimed
the driver; 1--WE are dead men If you do !"
He obeyed Ivan. The wolves, asionished
by this unexpected act, remained motion
less for a minute During this minute the
troika was verest from them. When the
wolves started again after it, it was too late,
they could not overtake it. A quarter oil an
hour afierward they were in sight OF home.
Prince Repnine thinks his horses ran at
least six miles in these fifteen minutes. He
rode over the s,eppe the next day, and
found the bones of more than two hundred
wolves.

Republican Appeals to Irishmen.

In speech, few nights since, from the
steps at Berlin's Hotei, 10 a Republican
meeting in this place, Edgar Cowan Esq,
made strong and earnest appeal 10 Irish
men 10 cast their votes with the Republi.
cans.
"lrishmen," said he, "who vote with the
Democracy are false 10 their own Green
Isle OF the Oceau-false 10 the literature os
Erin-false 10 its poetry, and false to that
love of liberty which beats in the breast of
lrIshman everywhere"
We call the attention of Irishmen 10 the
urgent and burning language in which they
have been besoughl 10 turn their backs up
on The party which not long ago stood be-
tween them and prescription, and then,
W add, as fit and proper commentary
thereon, the fact that, on last Saturday night
the Republican Torch-Light procession,
which paraded the streets of Greensburg,
and was addressed by the same gentleman,
whose remarks we have quoted above kept
sep TO the music of the 'Boyne Water"
Irishmen should remember that even as
they were appealed to TO desert their party,
they were met with an open, shameless in-
sult,-and that the faith of their fathers has
been derided by party that profess the
most enlarged liberality. They would be
'false 10 their own Green Isle of the Ocean
Ease TO the literature of Erin-false to its
! poetry, and false TO that love of liberty
which beats in the breasts of irishmen ev-
erywEere," if they failed 10 feel the keen
and cutting taunts, which has thus been
thrust into their very faces.-GresasbWg 6

The Press and Dead Heads.

One of our exchanges speak great deal
of truth in the following:
Railroads, STEAMBOATS, and stage-coaches
complain of dead heading-ihat is TO say,
of editors and clergymen, riding so much
without pay The newspaper press endures
more of this dead heading than all three of
these modes OF conveyance combined. The
pulpit, the bar and the theatre; corpora
tons, legislative assemblies, societies, reli-
gions, benevolent, agricultural, mercantile
establishments, venders of quack medicines,
railroad companies, steamboats,, Stage lines,
and every variety of individuals, including
political parties and politicians, draw large
ly on the liberality of the press. The press
is expected TO yield TO all these interests !; ii
is required to give strength TO all weak in
stiiutions and enterprises it is asked 10
puff small preachers into overshadowing
pulpit orators to puff small politicians and
unprincipled demagogues into great men
and patriots TO magnify incompetent rail-
road officers into railroad kings; il is ex-
pected to herald abroad the fame of quacks,
W oil SoScoJ SoiotCA ~ ouii oosho'c ftn
mortalize weak Congressional speeches il
is required to give sight TO the blind, bread
TO the hungry, talents to fools and honor to
thieves and robbers it is asked to cover up
the infrmiiies OF the weak, to hide the
faults OF guilty men and wink at the fraud-
uIen; schemes of sconndrels, il is expected
TO fater the vain, to extol the merits of
those who deserve nothing but the scorn
and contempt of all good citizens; it is re-
quired, in word, of The newspaper press,
to become all things to all men and if it
look for pay, or send oct It's bills for SUBJ
scrptions and advertising, it is denounced
as mean and sordid, and its conductors are
wanting in H5eraliiy. There is no interest
on the face of this green earth that is ex-
pscted to give SO much to society, without
pay or thanks, as The newspaper press of
the country.

A SIGNAL Instance OF LIScoLE's HosEs-
TY.-The New York Courier and Enquirer
siar,les its Republican readers by citing
signal instance of Mr.. Lincoln's honesty
In word or two, il seems iha: Mr. Lincoln
who was Postmaster in little town IN
Illinois, while Mr. Barry was Postmaster
General, resigned his small Office, retaining
in his hands about two hundred dollars of
Government funds. Owing this money he
ought TO have promptly paid it up when ne
resigned, but he kept it.
When SIR. Kendall became Postmaster
General, he "drew on MIR. Lincoln for the
amount slarding against him on the books
of The department Wonderful 10 tell Mr..
Lincoln honored the draft and paid the
money. He paid two hundred dollars
which he ought 10 have paid before, and
the argument is that for paying this money
be ought 10 be made President
II would seem that the Courier and Enqui-
rer expected nolhing less than he should
have stolen it. It's surprise al finding tina,
he did not, is significant indication of its
want of confidence in the men with whom
| it is associated. Had he stolen it, in the
| eyes of the CosriT aad Enquirer, il would
/ have been the most natural Thing IN thf

TIE RIVER PATH.
BY JOHN G WHITTIER.


No bird song floated down the hill,
The tangled Bank below was still
No rustic from the birchen stem
No ripple from the waters hem.
The dusk of twilight ronnd us grew,
We felt the falling OF the dew.
For, from US, ere the day was done,
The wooded hills shot out the sun,
But on the rivers farther side
We saw The hill-tops slorified.
A tender glow, exceeding fair,
A dream of day wilhou. lis glare.
With US the damp, the chill, the gloom;
With them the suuset's rosy bloom;
While dark, through willowy vistas seen,
The river rolled in shades between.
From out the darkness where we trod,
We gazed upon those hills OF God.
Whose light seemed not of moon or sun,
We spake not, but our thought was one.
We paused, as if from that bright shore
Beckonei our dear ones gone before;
And sliled our breathing hearts 10 hear
The voices lost 10 mortal ear
Sudden our pathway turned from night;
The Mills swung open 10 the light,
Thro' their green gates the sunshine sho'd
A long slant spIeudor down ward flowed.
Down glade and glen and bank it rolled;
il bridged the shaded stream with gold;
And borne on piers of mist, allied
The shadowy with the sunlit side
$780," prayed we, "when our feet draw
The river, dark with mortal fear, lnear
And the nigh, cometh chill with dew,
Oh, Father let Thy light break through
So lei the hills of doubt divide,
So bridge with faith the sunless tide
So let the eyes that iall on earth
On thv eternal hills look forth;
And in thy beckoning angels know
The dear ones whom we loved below"

Coal OH MANUFAcTURE-The extent to
which the manufacture of oil from coal is
carried on, will surprise many of our read
ers. The number OF coal oil companies
aud firms in this country is said 10 be fifty
seven the works being principally situated
in this city and Boston, the valleys OF the
Ohio and lis tributaries. Besides these there
are a number of small coal oil works in
Philadelphia, Baltimore, and some of the
Western cities, owned by individuals. The
quantity of coal oil produced is estimated
al sc, 900 gallons per day, or nine millions
per annum, worth about 10 cents gallon,
or over six millions of dollars in the aggre-
gate. The capital expended in coal oil
works and camel coal mining is estimated
at Iour mil ions, about one-fifth of which
has been invested in the Kanawha valley
alone. This is independent of the petroleum
or oil wells which continue 10 shed their

SCENE oS THE OHIo.-Our boat stopped
to take in wood. On the shore among the

LADY BYR0NS REPLY TO LORD BYRON s
FAREWELL.

Yes! eweIl-farewell forever!
Thou ihyself has fixed eur doom,
Babe hopes fairest blossoms wiiher,
Never again for me 10 bloom.
Unforgiving thou hast called me-
Didst thou ever say forgive!
Poor the wretch whose wiles beguiled thee,
Thou alone jidst seem TO live.
Short the space which time has given
To complete thy loves decay;
By unhallowed passions driven,
Soon thy heart was taught to stray;
Lived for me that feeling tender
Which thy verse SO well can show,
From my arms why didst thou wander
My endea.ments why forego!
oh too late thy breast was barred,
Oh! too soon 10 me Twas SHOWN,
That thy love but once | shared,
And already il is flown.
Wrapped in dreams of Joy abiding,
On thy breast my head hath lain,
In thy love and truth confiding-
Bliss ne'er can know again.
The dark hour did first discover
In thy soul the hideous stain
Would these eyes had closed forever,
Meier 10 weep thy crimes again.
But the impious wish o, beayenl
FIcm the record bloued be
Yes, yet would live, o, Byron,
For The babe I've born for thee
In whose lovely features lie; me
All my weakness here confess,
Whilst the struggling Iears permit me)
All The fathers | can trace
he whose image never leaves me,
He whose image still prize,
Who this biilerest feeling gives me,
Still TO love where despise.
With regret and sorrow rather
When our child,s frs, accents flow,
] will teach her to say Father,
But his guilt she ne 'er shall know.
Whilst Tomorrow and tomorrow
Wake me from widow'd bed,
On another's arms no sorrow
With thou fell, no tear witt shed.
| The worlds approval sought not,
When tore myself from thee
OF its praise or blame | thought not
What's its praise or blame 10 me
He so prized-so loyed-adored,
From my heart his image drove,
On my head contempt has poured,
And preferred wanlon's love.
Thou art proud, but mark me, Byron,
I've a heart proud as thine own;
Soft TO love, but hard as iron
When coniemp is DER it thrown;
But farewell I'll not upbraid thee,
Never, never wish thee i'll
Wreched though thy crimes have made me
If thou canst be happy still.
