The Common Lot.
BY JAMES MONTGOMERY.


Once, in the fight of ages past, ~
There lived a man; and who was he2
Mortal how er thy lot be cast
That man resembled thee.
Unknown the region of his birth.
The land in which he died unknown;
His name has perlshed from the earth
This truth survives alone;
Thatjoy, and grief and hope and fear,
Alternate triumphed in his breast
His bliss and wOe-a smile, a tear,
Oblivion hides the rest.
The bounding pulse, the languid limb;
The changing spirits rise and fall
We know that these were felt by him,
For these are felt by all.
He suffered-but his pangs are o'er;
Enjoyed-but his delights are fed;
Had friends-his friends are now no more!
And fOes-his foes are dead.
He loved-but whom he loved the grave
Hath lost in its unconscious womb
Oh, she was fair but nought could save
Her beauty from the tomb.
He saw whatever thou hast seen;
Encountered all that troubles thee;
He was whatever thou hast been;
He is what thou shalt be.
The rolling seasons, day and night,
Sun, moon and stars, the earth and main,
Erewhile his portion, life and light, H
To him exist in vain
The clouds and sunbeams, o. er his eye
That once their shades and glory threw,
Have left in yonder silent sky
No Noyestige where they aew.
The annals of the human race,
Their ruins since the world began,
OF him afford no other trace
Than this:-there lived a man.

AN AFFECTING Story SPoMED.-Sergt Hum
iston, who it was supposed expired on the field
of Gettysburg was the hero of the celebra-
ted Gettysburg Photographs, ola very fine poem
by James G. Clark and Of innumerable affect
ing newspaper artcles--returned to his home
and family, at Portville, Cattaragus County, re-
Gently, having been confined, as the CLEANS TimeG
learns as q prisoner in one Of the Southern pris-
npens, and but lately released.
The Gettysburg incident, as related, it will be
remembered was substantially as follows:l reo,
A lady passing over the Gettysburg battle
field after the battle, discotered the lfeess form
of a soldier, who had apparently expired, with
his last gaze riyeted upon the miniature Likeness
es (still firmly held in the stfened HANDY oftwo
little children, the loved ones at home The
Hkenesses were secured, but with no clue 10 eth
er the soldier or the Subjects of the pictures
The pictures were we believe copied by the liz
lustrated papers, and finally identified as those
ofthe children ofSergeant Humston, ofPortyille,
We are informed that the family ofthe resurected
Sert. have been considerably benefited pecqni1
arly by the sale of Photographs, &C., through
the great publicity given to the affecting incl
dent. Is not the Sergeant unwise to relinquish
so envions fame and spoil such a touching sto-
ry by returning to this life? -.-,r5
Precisely how much of fact, of mistake and
humbug are mixed with the whole affair we are
at present unable to determine.

OREGoN's GREAT CURIosITY. Several
Of our citizens returned last week from WIS.,
it to the great Sunken Lake, which is situa-
uated in the Cascade mountains, about sew
enty five miles northeast from Jacksonville.
This lake rivals the famous valley of Sin
bad the Sailor 1t is thought to average
two thousand feet down to the water all
round The walls are almost perpendicular,
running down into the water and leaving
no beach The depth of the water is un.
known, and its surface is smooth and unl
rufled as it lies so far below the surface
Of the mountain that the air currents do not
affect it. Its length is estimated at twelve
miles and its width at ten There is an
island in the center having trees upon it.
No man ever has been, and probably nev-
er will be, able to reach the waters edge.
1t lies silent, still and mysterious in the bo-
som Of the Everlasting hills" like huge
well scooped out by the hands of giant ge-
nil of the mountains, in the unknown ages
gone by, and around it the primeval forests
watch and ward are keeping The visiting
party fred a rife several times into the wa
ter, at an angle Of forty-fve degrees, and
were able to note several seconds of time
from the report Of the gun until the ball
struck the water Such seems incredible,
but it is vouched for by some of our most re-
liable citizens The lake is certainly most
remarkable curiosity-JachsonoiHe Sentinel

Latest Snake Story.

Ohio papers make mention ofa big snake hat-
ing been seen in the negnborhood of Newcom-
ersvlle and Port Washington, on the Pittsburg,
Columbus and Cincinnati road. The New Phil
adelphia Democrat says: 'He was actually seen,
and is as much of a verify as the great sea SER
pent ever was. A farmer from The neghbor-
borhood told y gentleman of this town that he
had seen it year ago, trying to swallow rab-
bit. His presence in that locality is accounted
for by the fact that about ten years ago menag-
erie, travelling through the country, had one, of
