Think, says the Chicago (1n.j Journal Of
the pair of green leaves that have come out
Of the ground, as they make their way
steadily up through the rain and through the
shine, through the day, and through the
darkness, until they reach the limit Of the
law OF oaks and the breezes make music in
their branches, when the room is breathless.
How lightly those ponderous arms swing
out into the middle region Of the air between
cloud and cloud; how the birds flash in and
out of their green rece;ses; how the shadows
in sunny weather, vibrate east and west, far
out from its base, beat day; how the rosy
fingers Of the Morn are laid in blessing on
its corOnal, and its leaves burn with the lin
gering Suns good night
So, like the temple Of God, has It gone
noiselessly up; the stroke Of its great pulses
is never heard; more silent in its building
than the nest that the robins are making;
softer in its going, than the crystal lapse Of
the reedy stream.
And all the way along, Il went without an
effort. The stag often rubbed his antlered
head against the swaying sapling little
while ago; the oak wrestles with the angel
Of the wind to-day, and its arms prevail.
But when that frame begins 70 be dis
mantled, and Nature to take down the COLI
umn she has builded, how different is the
order of its going. She has muffied it with
moss; she has removed, one by one, its
creaking branches, but she can not alleviate
its fall when it comes at last there is q
crash, and an echo in the sounding woods,
and wreck along the ground.
How lightly the spire springs into the air
as if it would touch the heaven with its
silent finger how gracefully il refnes away,
| as it rises, and you watch the workmen,
| swinging higher and higher, as il visibly
| grows, from day to day, for the sound Of
hammers comes family down, like the tick
| of distant clock, and the men creep like
atomies nearer to its point, and hang like
gatherers of Samphire above the world.
But when Time lays its heavy hand upon
that swaying spire, and its pure white is
tarnished into gray, and the worms are
| busy in its crumbling timbers, and IL crashes
| downward in a cloud of dust, and lies an
unseemly wreck upon the earth; and we
| look upward at the empty air, that closes
silently above its fail as if 1t had never been,
all grace and beauty are stricken from the
| thought.

A MAGNIFICENT TRooP OF WILD HORSES
IN KANsAs.-A correspondent writing from
Grasshopper Falls, Kansas, says:
In conversation with gentleman residing
upon the verge of the Delaware reservation,
we CLEANED some information regarding the
celebrated drove of wild horses which fire.
quent these parts. Many unsuccessful at
tempts have been made to capture them.
American horsea of the best mettle have
been brought into use in running them
down, but no sooner pursued than they run
at right-angles with the divides, up hills,
down valleys, and through timber, with a
speed unknown TO any other animal.
Among them is one-a chestnut stallion,
somewhat larger than the Morgan stock
which has been the universal mark of the
pursuer; but, though followed by the heetest
steeds upon the run, ne has never been
known to break from apacing step, Strata
gem has been resorted TO repeatedly, with
out success, and he is now left to hy over
the prairies at his will, bearing the dignified
title of "Chesnut Kingp Several of his
colts have been secured, which promise a
rich reward to their owners. Though taken
quite young and reared with native horses,
the wildness of their nature is made appar-
ent upon all favorable occasions. An officer
at Fort Leavenworth has offered q reward OF
$500 for the capture and delivery to him Of
"Chesnut King"

PAST SCANDAL ABOUT DECEASED CYPRiAS.
The death of the notorious Fanny White, in
New York, has called up "reminiscences of
her visit TO London, and many versions Of
the affair are given in various journals. The
truth is believed TO be that she was intro
duced to Mr.. Buchanan by his since notOri-
GUS Secretary Of Legation, who had for a
long time been intimate with her, as Mrs. j.
g. Bennett, who, at that time, was unknown
to Mr.. Buchanan. Her presentation TO the
Queen was pressed upon the Minister, bat
the fraud was discovered in time to prevent
the consummation. The Minister and Sec
rotary were for long time not on speaking
terms, but political necessities finally over
rode the difficulty, and they have since been
good friends.

RETURYED.-The Newport Fishing Club,
Of our city, returned on Saturday last from
successful, bringing with them a fine lot of
black bass and "muscalonge" weighing
thirty-seven and half pounds. In order to

TRUE PREDICTIoN.-It required no second
sight seer to predict the state of the ferry
landing on the Cincinnati shore when it
rained. Yesterday it did rain, and the path
leading from the platform to the top of the

impossible for pedestrians to ascend and es-
cape unsoiled. We have before spoken OF
this, and again say something ought to be
done 10 improve the landing.

PRoPosrTioN TO EXTEND THE PENDLEToN
RAILRoAD.-A proposition to extend the
ington-street, was submitted to the City
Council, last Wednesday night week, and
appropriately referred. AS the people of the
East-end are unanimous in desiring the ex-
tension, we suppose that a favorable report
may be expected at an early day, and that
the measure will encounter little opposition
in the Council. Should this extension be
effected, an omnibus line to Walnut Hills
win be run in connection with it. The citi-
zens of the latter place are fully aware of the
advantages of the proposed changes, and
have called meeting for this evening, at the
old Stone Church, with view of assisting
to procure it as speedily as possible.

THE EMANCIPATION MOVEMENT IN WESTERN
VReNIA.-A correspondent of the New
York Herald, writing from CovingtOn,
Allegheny County, Va, September l6, says
The emancipation movement in Western
Virginia, to which | referred in my last let
ter from the White Sulphur Springs, NAV
be set down as a fixed fact. The prevailing
excitement growing out of the slavery ques-
ton, in which the West is not materially
interested, while from its border position it
is necessarily made to feel deep concern and
apprehension in the matter, is furnishing
even stronger motive to get rid of slavery
than the enormous pecuniary burdens to
which it is subjected to defray the expense
of its protection in the East. The people in
this region, and other points in the trans
Allegheny country through which l have
Travelled, openly admit that they are tired
and weary of this constant excitement grow
ing out of the slavery question. "No sooner
have we been relieved" they observe, from
the terrible excitement occasioned by the
John Brown raid, than another frebrand is
thrown in our midst in the shape of a dis
union cry in connection with Lincolns
election" "There is, in short" say they, mo
respite from continual excitement and appre-
henson in connection with the slavery ques-
tion, and we must get rid of il. Our do
mestic peace is sacrificed by reason of the
nominal existence of this institution in our
midst, and we must either abolish it, or re-
move to some point where we can enjoy peace
and security" Such know to be the sem
timents of many leading men in Western
Virginia, and they will soon find a more
practical expression in the emancipation
movement which is now determined upon.

Singular Story-The Intention of n MUIR.
derer Realized i'm Sleep.

derer Realized in sleep.
Not long since, in Ireland, the following
incident occurred at the house of Sir V. de
": The mother of the baronet was aged and
bedridden, and for ease and comfort was ac-
customed frequently to change her sleeping
apartment. One night she slept on the
ground-hoor, in a room which opened from
the hall. At about three o'clock in the
morning, a gentleman Of literary habits who
had set up long after the rest of the house.
hold, opened the library-door on his way to
bed, and saw a man with light and a small
packet of tools under his arm, approaching
the bedroom of the invalid. He spoke to
him, and the man on turning round proved
to be the butler. The man explained that
he was going to ascertain that the bedroom
door was properly secured, and that he had
accidentally picked up the tools on his way
from the pantry.
Next morning the guest told his host what
had occurred, and the baronet Immediately
went to his mother bedside, and asked her
how she had slept? She replied that dream
had much disturbed her. for she had dreamed
that she was awOke out of her sleep by a
man entering her room and picking the lock
of chest which held valuable Jewels, and
who then stood over her with kuife,
threatening to stab her, and against her will
her eyes were held open, and she saw the
butler in his attitude Of menace. Her son
said nothing until he returned to his friend
to whom he related the dream, and the but
Ter was instantly dismissed. He had not
broken into the bedroom, but the intention
to do so had communicated itself to the
dreamers mind-how, we can not tel.

DRoLL SCENE IN AN INDIANA Council CHAM
BER-A Highly Intelligent "HooSier."--A
very amusing incident occurred at the last
meeting of the Common Council of Jeffer-
sonville, Indiana. After the preliminary
affairs of the Council were gone through
with, member arose and stated that the
increase of population-and consequently of
crime-in Jeffersonville, demanded the
speedy building of new jail. The speaker
presented to the Council in such an impress
i've manner, the dilapidated and unsafe con-
dition of the jail, and the exposure of the
community to injury at the hands of the
escaped prisoners, that they really began to
believe a new jail was indispensable; where
upon, member arose and requested the gem
tleman who had made the motion to state
where he would propose to locate the new
building, the style Of architecture, probable
cost, when to be built, &c. The member,
with profound dignity-evidently feeling
the responsibility resting upon him-arose,
and, with great earnestness, said: 81 propose
that new jail be Immediately built; 20 be
located where the old Jail now stands; the
material of the old Jail to be used in build
ing the new one; and that the old Jail remain
standing until the ae,e one is buitP'

The GREAT ELsTERN STILL AN OBJECT OF
INTEREST IN ESGLANn.-The interest in the
Great Eastern, in England, appears to be as
intense as ever. This is, indeed, not surpris-
ing, when it is remembered that her incon-
ceivable bulk is now in full view, mostly out
of water. Excursion trains of enormous ex-
tent and unheard-Of cheapness are run by
the South Wales Railway Company. The
fare for trip of 200 miles (both ways) is 2s.
3d., or about sixty cents. One of the trains
(Which had to be made two) carried no less
than 2, 700 passengers. Among them was a
military company, which marched into the
side of the Leviathan, with captain, music
and banners at their head.

THE RECENT EARTHQUAKE IN New ENGLAND.
The telegraph has already noticed the fact of
an earthquake being felt at Manchester, N.
H., Portland, Maine, and through the
Canadas, on the morning of the 18th. The
Boston Traveller of that date says;
A gentleman of the Observatory, Cam
bridge, who sleeps in an upper room of the
building, was awakened at few minutes
before six o'clock, this morning, by an un-
usual noise, which he at once recognized as
similar to that of the earthquake experienced
in New England some twelve years ago.
There was apparently vibrating motion of
the earth, lasting ten or fifteen seconds,
which ratified the windows and blinds and
shook the bed. The shock was alse quite
sensibly felt in Arnold-street, at the South
End, at Jamaica Plains, at Charleston, and
at Newburyport. In the latter city, gen.
tleman who was shaving, was obliged to de-
sist, the unusual motion causing a sensible
shaking Of his hands. At Charleston, the
rattling of windows and blinds was quite
perceptible. At Arnold-street, a lady inn
agined that some one was under the bed
shaking it.

ATTEMPT OF YoUNe MAN TO COMMIT
SUICIDE.-Some few months since, a young
man of good family; hailing from Holton,
RoOstick County Maine, arrived in this city
and engaged boarding at the Jones House,
on the southwest corner of Ninth and Syca-
more-streets. His father dying about year
ago, left no will, and the estate, which is
considerable, is now undergoing law adju-
dication in the Probate Court Of Roostick
County. The young man, whose name is
Stephen Tabor, has received several remit
tances of money from his mother since his
sojourn here, but failing to get as much as
he desired, he became low-spirited, and had
a desire to rid himself of his wretched ex-
fstence.
On Saturday he wrote some letters, pro-
cured an unknown quantity of arsenic,
swallowed it, and proceeded to his room. His
manner during the afternoon excited the
attention of some of his fellow -boarders,
who watched him narrowly, but failed to
discover his attempt. Proceeding to his
room, late in the afternoon, they found him
lying on his bed in an unusual condition.
He appeared to be delirious, and slight foam
gathered about his lips.
Alarmed they sent for DIR. Ludlow, who,
after being informed of the particulars, pre-
scribed an emetic, and remained with him
until the contents of his stomach had been
discharged, when he proceeded to analyze
them, and discovered the presence of suffi-
cient arsenic to destroy life. An antidote
was afterward administered, and yesterday
morning, having had good nights rest, he
was able to reflect upon his desperate at
tempt. He is in the hands of friends, who
watch him closely, and who think he will
endeavor hereafter to be resigned to his LOT
in life ..

PAUL MoRPHY IN THE CRY Amusing
Aneedote about his Aatograph.--PaulM Morphy,
the great exponent of Caissa, arrived in the
city yesterday morning, and is at present
stopping at the Spencer House. There is
great desire to witness his matchless game,
and we learn that he has been invited to and
will attend the Young Mems Chess Club
some time to-day or this evening.
En- pdSsant an amusing anecdote is related
of MOrphy soon after his arrival at the hotel
yesterday. A would-be wise man, and a
chess amateur, was looking over the regis
ter, and seeing NJ IS name, remarked to three
or four acquaintances 81 would have known
that was Morphy's signature anywhere; it
is just such hand as great chess-player
would write. Observe those lines; they are
thoroughly indicative of the mathematical
brain; that down-stroke shows his rapid
power of calculation and vast force of COM
bination, most Enthusiastically. That M, too;
by Jupiter that is like daguerreotype OF
Morphy-it reveals him at once"
In this strain the amateur proceeded for
some minutes, attracting quite little knot
of the guests about him by his enthusiastic
defamation. AT last he ceased, when it was
discovered that he had built his fine theory
on the sand. The sand was, that Paul
Morphy's name had been written by one oi
the clerks of the Spencer.
AS soon as this expose was made, the
amateur disappeared mysteriously, and dill
gent inquiry and search on the part of his
friends have not enabled them, as yet, to
learn where he has taken refuge.

within one hour of the Mediterranean, and
it would be very nearly as convenient for
the Catholic world, as Rome is now. 1t
would add also very much to the advance
Of Christianity in the East. The French
armyin Syria can easily take possession of
Palestine if the Sultan should refuse a de-
mand for it; in fact, they say il would be the
easiest way to settle the Roman question.
