A Beautiful Reelection.

Bulwer eloquently says: 1T cannot
believe that earth is mans abiding place.,
It cannot be that our life is cast up by
the ocean of eternity to float moment
upon its waves and then sink into Moth
ingness! Else, why is it that the glori-
GUS aspirations which leap like angels
from the temple of our heart, are forever
wandering about unsatisfed? Why that
the rainbow and clouds come over us with
beauty that is not of earth, and then
leave us to muse upon their faded lowell
ness? Why is it that the stars, who hold
their festival around the midnight throne,
are set above the grasp Of our limited fac
ulties, hooking us with their unapproach-
able glory? And, finally, why is it that
bright forms Of human beauty are pre-.
sented to our view, and then taken from
us, leaving the thousand streams of our,
affections to flow in Alpine torrents upon
our hearts? We are born for higher
destiny than that Of earth there is
realm where the rainbow never fades
where the stars will be spread before us
like islands that slumber on the ocean
and where the beings that pass before us
like shadows, will stay in our presence
forever"

daughter of one of the Leighs, and Of
Lady Marie, daughter to Lord Chancellor
Brackley. This body was also quite per-
feet, and embalmed principally with a
very small coffee-colored seed, with which
the coffin was nearly filed, and it also had
SO powerful a perfume that it filled the
whole place. The linen, ribbon, &c.,
were quite strong and good in all these in
stances, and remained so after exposure to
the air; we kept piece out of each cof-
fin, and had it washed without its being
at all destroyed. Young Lady Audrey
had earrings in her ear, black enamelled
serpents. The perfume of the herbs and
gums used in embalming them was SO
sickening that we were all i'll after inhal-
ing it, and most of the men employed in
digging up the collins were ill also. The
chapel is on the estate of Lord John
Scott, who inherited it from his paternal
grandmother the Duchess of Buccleuch,
daughter of the Duke of Montagu, into
whose family Nuneham Regis and other
possessions in Warwickshire came by the
marriage of his grandmother with the
daughter Of Dunmore, Earl of Chiches-
ter.

AN APPEAL TO THE NORTH.

Let us look over the ocean, a few days
voyage by steam, and rest our eyes on a
country very like ours, inhabited by peo-
pie speaking our own language, and cling
ing to our laws with even greater vene-
ration than ourselves, in some instan-
ces. The scene is peculiarly English
There are ridges Of lofty, dark greeu
hills that look blue when the sun sets be-
hind them. Among them are home
steads, corn6elds, and bits Of wood. Be-
tween two such ridges runs stream that
one does not know whether to call a river,
or torrent, or creek, or watercourse,
for it has usually little water till it expands
and deepens just before joining navigable
river that cuts through the billy district.
On one side Of this mountain stream are
some bold bluffs, surmounted by plateau,
and intersected by deep lanes, partially
hidden by scrub. The country is only
about couple Of hours by rail from the
capital Of a great empire, and, no doubt a
pleasant retreat for politics and hotels
Arcadia itself was never described more
pleasantly than the region which lies be-
fire us in the letter of truthful CORES
pondsnt. One is tempted, like the old
poet, to invoke the friendly power that
shall carry one from the dusty, smoky,
reeking metropolis, and plant one by some
Maryland torrent,s or on some Pennsylva-
MAN highland Be assured, good reader,
there is no pleasanter country on the
earth, except our own. Nature has done
her work well, and if the region is not a
Paradise il is no fault of hers.
But whist was the scene twenty days
ago on that fair spot, which might have
wed with one Of our own favourite haunts
Of wearied Londoners !? Two large par
ties Of armed men descend from two OPP
posite lines of heights, and after some
angry parley proceed to scatter them
selves over the field, to reap what may be
called the harvest Of death. The crop
lies on all sides, under their feet, scatter

man hecatombs. 1t cannot be for the
good of the South they seek to reduce it,
or to destroy it; and if it is for the good
Of the North, that has not yet been ex-
planned. 1t is only the vulgar good of
those who wish for numbers however I'M
willing, OF power however brutal. We
can speak with authority, for England
has, with an i'll grace indeed, illustrated
by her example the doctrine which she
breaches. We tried for seven years to
preserve the Anglo-American unity; we
spent hundred millions; we disgraced
ourselves we lost influence at home, and
we entirely failed in our object. The
Americans had ample opportunity of stu
dying both sides Of that question, ours
and theirs-a forced and heartless unity or
a friendly independence. They must be
utterly forgetful, blind, or mad, if they
now choose to copy our mistake, and not
their own successful wisdom.

The Crab and the Fox.

A crab crawled from his brook out upon
the green grass Of meadow, and there
'fared sumptuously." A fox happening
in that neighborhood, saw the crab creep
ing along slowly, and thus scornfully salu.
ted him:
"Sir Crab, now why do you travel SO
lazily? How long time do you intend
to occupy in crossing the meadow? 1t
seems to me as if you might journey bet
ter backward than forward"
But the crab was no blockhead and i'm
mediately retorted: "Mr. Fox, you do not
know my nature. am well born and es-
Unable I am swifter and nimbler than
you and your race. Mr.. Fox, have you a
mind to run with me for wager ?"
81 should like nothing better" said the
Fox. "Willy you run from Berne to Basic,
or from Bremen to Brabant ?"
"Oh, MOI replied the crab; "that
would be entirely too far. I should
think that were we to run a half or
whole mile with each other, it would
not be too much for either of us.''
CHA! ha a mile !! a mile! laughed
the fox in contempt.
The crab resumed: 81 will give you a
good start. If you will not take it, I
won't run at all"
"And how mnch of a start am I to
have p inquired the fox.
"Just the length of fox,' returned
the crab. "You stay in front of me and
I will stand behind you, so that your hind
feet may touch my nose, and when l say,
'Now be off, then we will begin to
run"
The fox was much pleased with this
discourse, and said, 81 will obey you to
the letter. And then he drew up, with
his great bushy tail fronting the crab.
This the crab grabbed with his claws, un-
perceived by the fox, and called out, "Now
be offp
And the fox did run, as he had never
before run in all his sublunary career, SO
that the soles of his feet itched. And
now when the goal was reached he turned
himself about quickly and shouted
"Where are you now, Mr.. Grab ? How
long will you stay ?"
But the crab who now stood nearer the
goal than the fox, cried out behind him,
"Mr. Fox, what do you mean by this talk?
/ have been standing here for some time
and waiting for you. Why are you 50
tardy?' ,
The fox drew in his tail and hastily de.
parted from that locality.-Frons the

The Hand Upon the Latch.

My cottage home is filled. with light

But, ali dearer love the night,
And hail the sinking ray;
For eve restores me one whose smile
Doth more than mornings match
And life afresh seems dawning while
His hand is on the latch

And shadows earlier fall,
And grapes grow purple near the caves,
Along our trellis'd wall

To wake to joy when faint is heard
His hand upon the latch!
In the short wintry afternoon
throw my work aside,
And through the lattice, while the moon
Shines mistily and wide,
On the dim upland paths peer
In vain his form to catch
startle with delight, and hear
His hand upon the latch
Yes, am his in storm and shine; .
For me he tolls all day;
And his true heart know is mine,
Both near me and away.
And when he leaves our garden gate l..
At morn, his steps watch

The PittSburs 4 SteubenyIIIe Rail-
road C0mpany=Its Relation 10 the
PennBylVRnlG Railroad. 1-



The ordinance granting the right Of way
to the SteubenVille Railroad, which passed
the Select Council at its las: msetin9, was
before the Common Council last night.
Immediately after the ordinance was called
up, Mr.. Won BUnnhorst, Secretary Of the
Company, being present, was invited to
explain 10 the Council the relations exist
ing between the Western Transportation
Company and the Pennsylvania Railroad,
and in brief address stated what he knew
on the subject. The Western TranspOrta-
tion Company had leased the Pittsburgh
aud SteubenvilIe road for twenty years,
and one of the conditions of the contract
was that forty per cent. OF the earnings Of
the road should be applied 10 the payment
OF the interest on the bonds issued for its
construction. Should the forty per cent.
more than pay the interest, as it was con-
fidentiy believed il would, tie excess was
to be divided among the Stockholders.
With regard 20 the relation between the
Pennsylvania Road aud the Transports
ton Company, they stood as. follows At
the time Of the passage of the bill repeal
ing the Tonnage tax, it was provided that =
certain amount OF money should be paid by
the PennSYlvania Railroad to aid in the
completion Of certain railroads named in
the bill. The Pittsburgh and steubSaSiIle
Road was one of these, aud the sum to be
paid it will amount to between SI6O, 600
and $4,000. The Charters Rlad is also
to receive part Of this money. Ifenough
