BE Your Own RIGHT HAND MAN.-People
who have been bolstered up and levered all
their lives are seldom good for anything in
crisis. When misfortune comes, they
look around for something to lean upon. II
the prop is not there, down they go. Once
down, they are as helpless as capsized tur-
ties, or unhorsed men III armor and cannot
find their feet again without assistance
Such silken fellows no more resemble self
made men, who have fought their way to
position, making difficulties their stepping.
stones, and deriving determination from de-
feat, than vines resemble oaks, or Sputter-
ing rushlights the stars of heaven. Efforts
persisted III to achievements train a man to
self-reliance, and when he has proved to
the world that he can trust himself, the
world will trust him
We say, therefore, that it is unwise to
deprive young men of the advantages which
result from their energetic action, by
boosting them over obstacles which they
ought to surmount alone.

THERE'S NOTHING LOST.

There's nothing lost. The tiniest flower
That grows within the darkest vale,
r.arub hid from view has still the power
The rarest perfume to exale
That perfume, borne on zephyr's wings,
NAV visit some lone sick ones bed,
,rj like the calm affections brings,
Twill scatter gladness round her head.
There, nothing lost. The drop of dew
That trembcls in the rose-buds breast,
MI. seek its home of ether blue
ind t,ll again as pure and blest
r...lance to revel i'll the spray,
To cool the dry and parching sod,
II. u.ugle III the fountain spray
Oh sparkle in the bow of God.
There's nothing lost. The seed that's cast
BY careless hands upon the ground
Will take root and may at last
green Il glorious tree be found;
Beneath It's shade some pilgrim may
Seek shelter from the heat of noon,
While in It's boughs the breezes play,
And song birds sing their sweetest tune.
There's nothing lost. The slightest tone
Or whisper from a loved ones voice
May melt a heart Of hardest stone,
And make Il saddened breast rejoice
md then, perchance, the careless word
Our thoughtless lips too often speak,
81 y touch heart already stirred
And cause that troubled heart to break
There's nothing lost. The faintest strain
OF breathing from some dear ones Lutte,
IN memory's dream may come again
Though every mournful string be mute;
TIL. music Of some happier hour,
The harp that swells with loves own word
May thrill the soul with deepest power,
When stin the hand that swept its chords.
Then let us make the plan our own
For Heavens teachings are the best!
The blessing that is wisely used,
Increases and we're doubly bless'd!
And he our lot with rich or poor,
Ey sunshine warm d or tempest tossed,
50 guide our hands that We may say,
There's nothing Wasted, nothing Lost.

Is HIS PURSE CONVERTED "A Methodist
laborer in Wesley's time, Captain Webb,
when any one informed him of the CONVEX
sion Of a rich man, was in the habit of ask

the conversion of his purse, the good Cap
tain could give no credit to the conversion
Of the man. In this he agreed with DR..

believe in the religion that cost man

ADJUSTMENTS.


NEW THEarEs.-Miss Kitty Blanchard
commences the second week Of her engage
ment, in the character OF Ely O'Conner, IN
the play Of Colleen Bawn. Her rendition q
the play last Thursday evening, was, IN
every respect, perfect. She has evidently
studied the Irish character well, and We be-
lieve that she is destined to shine in II -
Those who saw her last Thursday night will
not fail 10 Be there on Monday evening
and we doubt not, hundreds Of others will
attend, who were absent on thHt occasion.
She win play it but one time-Mondsy eve
ming and therefore all who desire 10 see
her in It, must attend the New Theatsr on
that occasion.
Las; night, she played the part Of Jack
Sheppard, 70 fun house, supported BY Ed.
Wight as Blue Skin, Mr.. BosWorth IS Ward
the Carpenter, Miss j. BosWorth Is the very
amiable Mrs. Ward, and J. ". Carter as
Jonathan Wild. Each Of these, and indeed
al the other parts we're well sustained
each actor being fully up 10 his role.
We are glad to notice q considerable IN
crease in the number Of ladies in attendance
at the thester. The stern array Of war has
| passed away; and once more beauty emerges
| from its seclusion, and adorns the resorts Of
seekers Of Innocent pleasure.
OLD THEArRK.-A large and fashionable
audience was in attendance at the Old
Theatre last night, on the occasion Of the
| benefit Of Mr.. c. c Adams.
The Jibbenainosay was well played, and
everything passed of 10 the entire sntisiac-
| ton Of the audience. Next week, the fla
nous Zavistowsh troupe will be the leading
feature, and We can truly say, that those
who desire genuine artistic treat, will ind
one at the Old Theatre, during their stay
The troupe are well known throughout
America; and for several years, they formed
the chief feature Of attraction at Pixies
Opera House, in Cincinnati. We shall ex-
peet 10 see q crowded house, every night,
during the period they remain with u.s.
PoLAED's VARIETY THEATRE.-There was
q decided Improvement in the attendance a.
this theatre last evening 1t is but fair to
presume from the increased numbers that
q renewed interest is being awakened in
behalf Of this institution. The effort that
has been put forth aud the heavy expense
incurred in order to present to the public q
rare and unexceptionsble amusement, is
certainly deserving OF consideration and
reward. Therefore, this certainly will not
be made an exceptional case.

As viii be seen from the advertisement in
to-day's UNION, the partnership existing be-
tween Messrs. Poland & Skif, in the Va
riety Thester, is dissolved, Mr.. Skiff taking
charge Of the business exclusively. 1t will
be known hereafter as the Broadway Yarie-
ties.
Since Mr.. Poland's connection with this
theatre be has, BY his gentlemanly bearing
and urbane manners, drawn around him a
large circle Of warm friends, who viii part
from him with many regrets In the man
agement Of the theater with which Mr..
Poland has so long been associated, he has
exhibited degree Of business talent rarely
possessed by one Of his age. The public,

brance as having labored 90 earnestly and
zealously to provide for their amusement
and cdifcation. We csnnot but recon-
mend him 10 the kind consideration and
regard Of those with whom his lot may be
cast.
Our old snd highly esteemed friend, Sam
Simons-the mention Of whose name causes
a thrill Of pleasure in the breast Of his
thousands Of friends-retires from the office
Of Treasurer Of this thaster, position he
has held since last spring. Il is needless 10
say that he has discharged the duties per
tanning 10 the office with marked credit TO
himself and 10 the infinite satisfaction Of
the managers. sam is a whole team
wi hin himself; and the simple under
taking Of a Job oy him is 8 guarantee
that il will be done well. His
experience in this line is long and thorough,
both here, st Louisville and other points.
The news Of his retiring viii fall like e
knell upon the ears Of the habitues Of the
Varieties. His place cannot easily be sup
piled. Good luck attend you, Sam, wher-
ever you 60
We feel little hesitancy in saying that
Mr.. SkiT will spare no effort or expense 10
keep up the excellent attractions At the
Broadway Varieties that SO characterized

THE ALLEGED ROBBERS CAVE.
Progress of the Work of Excavation.

We Yesterday visited the cave recently
discovered, which enters the rocks in The
Chattanooga railroad cut, aud which is sup
posed, b many, not only 10 be q den O
robbers, but 70 eontaiu 8 number Of the vil-
Hans now. The entrance is at point OPP
po.ite the junction Of the two branches 81
the road, and but little beyond Steifel'i
brewery The cut is there some thirty feet
deep. and there is seam in the rocks
which looks as il the layers Of limestone
had once been broken, by some terrib G
convulsion Of nature. The mouth Of the
cavern barely admits 3 man, crawling on
his hands aud knees; but short distance
in, il beeog-es larger, being some three feet
broad, and three and a-hRlf or four feet 10
heighth At the front, there is 3 large pile
Of dirt-appsrently loose, and but recently
dspoaited there, completely blocking It up,
and il is in removing this, the workmen
are engaged. The progress made, however,
i very slow, on account Of the difficulty in
getting the dirt out Of the mouth Of the
caye-It being necessary 70 convey il al
IN 3 small box, the men lifting il foot by
foot snd crawling after il. There are those
who believe that there are robbers in 4
now, and that they have learned that they
are discovered, and have purp0sely blocked
10 I'D II SUN - Tue AhnNt Antl CHI pie IN
the dirt much faster than II can be taken
out, as they have more room TO work.
Il is believed that the cave connects itself
with the McNairy vault, but that is only
conjecture.
As yet nothing has been found, but one or
tso playing cards but this must not be
taken as evidence that robbers-or even any
men have beeh in il. While conversrng
with citizens gentleman who resides
u the vicinity, We learned that The cAvE
sts LONG BEES KEoWN.
He says that soon after the cut was made,
4 was a great resort for boys that his own
used to play in &c. That while he never was
iu it himself, and does not know Of any
grown men who ever explored il, his boys,
and those Of his neghbors, reported shat
they had been in long distance, and that
il became quite large, s short distance in.
lie did not know ii any Of them had ever
been ct the end Of il.
We scarcely are prepared 70 believe that
there are any men IN the cave now; but
there are many who do believe It, and they
are not Missionaries, but men whose judg-
ments are entitled 10 respect.
Strong guards are posted at the eItrAnco
Of the cave, and also at the McNairy vault ;
sud unless there is some other outlet to the
cave, IL there are robbers in IT,, they Will
utimaiely be compelled 10 come out. We
shall chronicle any new Developments that
may transpire.
