Midsummer at Nantasket. The golden
air was ahush, there was no breeze and the
blue waters FLASHED on the yellow sand
softly, no foam upon its edge. High tide
it was. calm, and almost twilight. The
sun had gone down, but clouds of amber
and pink lay long in the west. Six O'Clock
yet long, weary Night, the husband of
that sweet Day, had yet to advance before
he reached hIs darling, waiting merrily for
the pillow of his breast.
A carriage ghttered along the beach. 1t
wac an elegant pbaetUp, cushioned with
purple velvet, land drawn by the haughtiest,
prancing horses. A lady aud gentleman
sat within. A man standing upon Gun
Rock could see even at that distance shat
the lady was graceful and proud looking.
He watched the vehicle for few moments,
then HE gaze wandered away, and finally
fell into the chasm at bis feet, where the
water was CHANGING brightly among the
rocks. He was handsome, slender. aris-
tocratic looking man, with cynical lip
and gloomy eye. His white fingers were
toying idly with email tangle of dry
seaweed; finally he threw it into the gap.
A gay, ringing laugh suddenly started
him. He turned quickly. A lady was
stepping over the rocks just below, coming
Up from the shore. In an instant he saw
that L was the lady he bad seen 10 the
phaeton few moments before. The gen.
tleBan, following her slowly. stopping now
and then to examine some triAe on the
sand, was far behind.
Higher and higher the lady came,
springng lightly from rock to rOck-look.

IL II a superstition.

A bridge broke down 10 Terre Haute, a
few days since, drowning a number of per-
sons. The Terre Haute Express says:
One incident connected with the recove-
ry of the bodies is worth more general pub
licIty. All bs6 been found With the ex-
ceprion ofthat OF Miss Thrsl's, and the
approaching night was about to compel the
search to be al anduned. when some one
suggested that by placing quicksilver in q
loaf Of bread and putting it 10 the water, i,
would stop directly over the body. Ac-
cUrdIUgIY, loaf was procured and Two
ounces Of quicksilver placed in it, then ta-
ken about fifty feet above the bridge and
thrown into the water. It foated down IN
tie current, which is quite strong at that
place, when it suddenly stopped, and cir
cling around, was apparently about to sink,
when q gentleman 10 a boat caught it. and
graphing books being pot down, the BODY
was found directly beneath. 10 from eight
to ten feet of water. We bad read of this
mode some years since. but surprising il
one of the many superstitione, bad almost
forgotten it. What the philosophy is cam
not tell. Will some one afford some light

1t will be remembered that one Of the
prominent features Of the Abolition pro-

dated bonnet, labeled MRS. ValIsudiR-
ham," ltwss gotten up as a caricature of
that estimabIe lady, and 10 ridicule of her
beart-trOubles over the exile of her hus
band. 1t was a most shocking exhibition
of party maligniiy. and even some of the
more decent Republicans entered their dis.
approval, while the radicals shouted their
exultatiOn. But the sequel is not likely to
