Like a true aud devoted woman, she

The Empty Cradle.

There is whole volume of poetry in
the following little sketch, which we
find in the last number Of Miss BarbePs
Weekly:
We met John on the stairs. He was
carrying an old cradle to be slowed
away among what he termed "plunder,"
in the lumber-room. One rocker was
gone and the wicker works of the sides
broken; it was an old willowy affair,
but VIC could not refrain from casting
look into its empty depths.
"Gono !" we said dreamily, "all gonep'
What golden heads were once pillowed
here heads on which the curls grew
moist in slumber, aud the cheeks and
lips flushed to the hue of rose leaves
When sleep broke, the silkcn fringed
lids opened heavily from the slumberous
eyes smiles fitted like sunbeams over
the face the white fist was thrust into
the mouth, and when mamma lifted the
muslin and peepcd in to see if the baby
was awake, what cooling and growing
were heard The little feet began to
kick, out of pure delight, and kicked on
until both Of the tiny red shoes were
landed at the foot of the cradle Where
are those heads now? Some that were
cmbrowned by vigorous manhood, are
sleeping on battle-fields; some are
bleachcd with time and cares and the
feet have grown sore and weary on the
rough paths Of life.
Perhaps some little one, once tender
ly rocked here is sleeping in the coffin.
Over it grows hearts ease and vigorous
box and white candy-tult and the star
ry jesamine. The blue bird Autters its
bright wings through the willow boughs,
and the cool summer wind whispers to
the green leaves and grass blades on
the grave. What Of! perhaps Of its
immortality. Sleep on little dreamless
one! "Of such is the kingdom of
heaven"

The New York Nsxa,nanera.

A racy correspondent of the Springfield Re-
pu6tscan, himself connected with the journal
lstic interests. gives the following spicy account
OF the newspapers of New York City,-their
ownership, circulation, profits, etc.:
"The past year has been one of remarkable
prosperity for the members of the fourth es-
tate. 1t is supposed that the New York
Herald has yielded to its owner sum in ex-
cess of 100000, while the Tribune is credited
with $165,000 profits the Times with upwards
of 100000, the World with nearly the same
sum, and the Express with about $4,000.
The Eoe1aing Post has beea, also, very profit
able concern; but the reports as to its success
are SO diverse, that it is perhaps not worth
while to speculate on the subject, because
guessing can be as accurately done in Spring
field, as here. OF course stock in any OF these
papers is very valuable, and very rarely to be
bought at any price. The heaviest owner in
the Tribune is a Massachusetts man, DR..
James c. Aver of Lowell. Samuel Sinclair.
the publisher, is also one of its largest owners
while Stephen T. Clarke, the writer of the
money article, and Horace Greeley (who, per-
haps, needs no particular description), are
likewise pecuniarily interested to large
amount. The principal owners of the Times
are reported to be Leonard w. Jerome, ex-
clock maker and stock operator; James g.
Taylor, broker. Henry j. Raymond, editor
and member of Congress; George Jones, pub
Usher of the Times, and Christopher Morgan
of Methodist fame. ae-r
The World is now owned, managed and ed
tied, body, soul and breaches, by Manton Mar
BILE; with, to be sure, a corps of assistants in
each department, although his supervision at
tends all the transactions of every one. 1t is
ably conducted, and is getting to be power,
though we of Massachusetts would probably
agree thatit is of the Satanic stripe in politics.
But so long as diaboism is profitable, there
will not be wanting enough people to promul-
gate the views of his internal majesty, or even
to worship him if exigencies might so require.
Mr.. Bennett is sole owner OF the Herald anu
Wood ditto of the NeWs. The Brooks broth
ers with their Jonah, Clarke, now of the Ti-i-
bane,) are the p oprietors of the Express; the
person last named being the third person in
the very uncomfortable trinity of the Express
concern, whom the other two persons therein
unsuccessfully endeavored some time since to
squelch by throwing overheard; but the Iri-
bune whale having gobbled Jonah up and
thrown him upon the dry land of the Supreme
Court, he Jonah aforesaid has thereby con-
trived to share the years profits of the Express
establishment to the tune of about $4,000; a
consideration for which most of us would be
willing to undergo mastication, digestion or
almost any other disciple, scriptural Or other
