FaH Of an AeroHte.-The London
Times has an account By an eye witness Of
the fall of an aerolite of enormous size.
A rushing sound, gradually increasing in
intensity, made itself heard, until at last,
with 3 terrific roar, flaming mass plunged
into the road. Laborers were called, and
succeeded in disinterring what proved
most magnificent aerolite, the weight be-
ing 834 pounds. 1t had buried itself near
ly six feet in the ground and vas red hot

tails assumed, while constantly changing,
the most beautiful prismatic hues. It's

fused Immediately after the descent, and

HE hffN RET, :
THE TRAITORS CURSE.
By THOMAS MOORE.

u Tor tongue To curse the slave
Whose treason, ike a deadly blight,
Comes Ger the couuselS Of the brave.
And blasts them in their hour Of might.
May life's unblessed cup for him,
Be drugged with treachery to the brim.,
With hopes that but allure to fly,
Withjoys that vanish while he sips,
Like Dead Sea fruits that tempt the eye,
But turn to ashes on the lips
His country's corse, his children'$ shame!
Uutcast Of virtue, peace aDi f,ae,
May he 1T last, with lips of flame,
On the parched desert thirsting die,
While lakes that shone in moclery nigh
Are fading of untouched, INFESTED,
Like the once glorious hope She blasted.
And when from earth his spirit flies.
Just Prophet let the damned one dwell
Full in tho sight of Paradise,
Beholding Heaven and feeling Hell.

We feel called upon to warn the friends

sufferings of our people. There have been
no authenticated cases of death by starva-
ton, and if the contributions continue as
bountiful as heretofore, until June next, as we
hope they will, there will be none. About
one-fifth of the people need help from
abroad, but the statement that Kansas is a
charnal house; that ali classes are APP
preaching starvation; that there is but one
step between fifty thousand and starvation,
are, as we believe, reckless and fragrant
