O.5-An extraordinary affair Is related in
the Russian journals. Prince Nesvlrzky
vas some years ago murdered by his ser
want, who possessed himself of his papers
and fortune, and assuming the name OF the
prince, Travelled about for some years, living
in good style. Aherward returning, he
married wealthy hsiress named Sokolof1,
and had by her several'chldren. Recently,
his imposture was discovered. and he has
been sent TO The mine OF Siberia; but the
Russian Government has authorized the
children and the wife to continue to bear
the name Nesvilzy. This case is similar
to one which occurred In France in the time
of the Restoration. An escaped convict
named Cogniaid possessed himself of the
family papers o. Count de Sainto-Helene,
and by means Of them not only assumed his
name and title, but caused himself TO be
at Court, aud actually succeeded in obtain
ing the grade of lieutenant colonel in the
army. lie was, however. after while, dis
covered, aud sent back to the bange.

An Appeal at a Drunkard's Grave.

This is the twelfth victim, in this township,
that has gone to the drunkard's grave in the
last five months. And "were they sinners
above all others? 4? tell you no but unless
you repent, you will likewise perish"
Shall appeal to you? Shall ask, "Wbo

1t you will commune with your own hearts,
and let your cOnscicnces answer, they will
tell you, ut Is those who seek strong drink"
Could L appeal to that inaninate form be-
fore me and ask him, with the light of eter-
nifty that now beams around his disembodied
spirit,-What are the joys Of the drunkard |?
What, think you, would be his reply?
That spirit with its enlarged vision. could
it now re-anirnate this dust, would cause
thrill of horror in this assembly. as, with its
phantom hand, it pointed to the tort4rcs
that racked its frame-to the mental agony
that produced delirium-to the horrors that
drove him to seek relief in suicides death.
These" it would shrek in unearthly
tones, ''are the drunkards joys"
Should / appeal to it to know if the stu
por of drunkenness calmed the agonies of
death, it would again reply, "0h, no! 1t is
but the calm that presages the storm, and
adds to its violence. Oh, horrid, awful calm !
more terrific than the storm itself"

commerce and trade was fast subsiding as
night slowly approached The Parthenon of
America, the proud capitol, stood upon its
hill, rearing its head into the sky. The stee-
pies of the various churches surrounded it as
by guard of serried soldiery. Far up the
river where the romantic scenery of the James

peeping from between the myriad islands,
spanning with their stony bands the beauti

but the curtain of night slowly was let dowH

in glittering radiance, welcome to the re

TIE WEATHBE-When you wish 10 know
what the weather is tobe, go out and select
the smallest cloud you see, keep your eye or
it, and if it decreases and disappears, it shows
a state of the air that is sure to be followed
by fair weather but If it increases in size,
you may as well take your great coat with
you if you are going from home, for falling
weather will not be far off The reason is
this: when the air is becoming charged with
electricity, you will see every cloud attracting
all lesser ones towards it till it gathers into .
shower: and on the contrary, when the fluid
is passing off or difusing itself, even large
cloud win be seen breaking to pieces and
dissolving.

SEEKING THEIR FORTUNEs,-Two very bright
looking boys, aged respectively sixteen and
twelve years Of age, named Edward and
Frederick Dwyer, were found last night
sleeping in a yard at the foot of Ludlow
street, where they had been in the habit Of
sleeping for one or two weeks. They told
the officer who found them that they were
from Cleveland, where their father had for
merIy been an editor of the Daily Review,
but, being impoverished, he had told them
TO go seek their fortunes-that he was no
longer able to support them-and they had
left the paternal roof and come to this city,
partly on foot. They had thus far been able
to support themselves by selling apples, pa
pers, and rags The eldest boy is very in
teiligent, and able to speak two or three diff
ferent languages. The officers brought the
boys before the Police Court this morning,
when the eldest made his statement to the
Judge, similar to that we have given above.
Mr.. J. F. Hoy and other gentlemen were 50
interested in the lads, that they Volunteered
to find situations for them, and they were
discharged by the Court. The youths have
apparently been well raised, and their only
desire appears TO be to procure some employ
ment by which they can obtain an honest
livelihood. Tines.
