The "New YOik Herald'' for the CODsti-
tuttOnal Amendment

The "New YOik Herald'' for the CODsti-
tutiOnal Amendment.
TIE New York Herald has come to the
very sensible conclusion that the right way
for the Southern States to secure a renewal
OF their relations to the Union is to adopt the
Constitutional amendment proposed by Con-
gress. In its issue Of to day it says:-
''We thus find from the bearings of the
Maine election that he true course for the SOUTH
e9T States and the administration is t0td do1Cn
in the Constitutional amendment Of Congress-.
In other words, we are convinced from the
significant results of the Maine election that
tins amendment VIII carry all the Northern
States yet to come, and that against the solid
Norlh any further resistance from The Adm,aiS-
tr0tiOa or The excluded Southern States 2cM be O
oC0ste OF time, foolish and sopcida! to all con-
CeT0ed."
These are sound words, and will have
weight with thinking men. The door is wide
open for the late Rebel States, if they will
only enter. II they refuse, the consequences
must be upon their own heads.

society where people are said to live 10
"moderate circumstances, to the highest
pinnacle of wealth. The facts are these
Mrs. Ell Walker, residing a. No. 100
Maple avenue, is woman Of English
birth. Her husband, (who is macbin.
ist by trade) aud herself have resided here
for number of years, and have several
children. 1t was reported some months
ago that large property, valued at thir-
ty-fve millions of dollars, had fallen to
Mrs. Walkers father, as q direct heir,
and he being dead, that the whole amount
belonged to her his only child. Steps
were ut once taken to ascertain the truth
of this report, and Ex-Governor II. II.
Seymour was employed to investigate
The result Of his investigation is entirely
favorable to Mrs. Walker, documents hav.
ing been received which show beyond
question that she will come in possession
Of this immense property, and she, to-
gether with her husband aud children,
will start for England next week to re-
ceive the golden egg.
1t is said that upon full settlement Of
all mltters connected with this most ex-
traordinary "streak of luck" Mrs. Walk

permanent residence here. Rumor hath
it taat she will erect upon some eligible
site magnificent mansion, following the
style of the grand villas and castles of

that some gossipper, thrilled BY the intel

Terribly Sublime Spectacle.

A jet of lava Of more stupendous pro-
portions than any ever conceived of, is
described by Mr.. Coan, in the Honolulu
Friend, of February, in his account ofthe
eruption of Mauua Loa, on the island of
Hawaii.

miles southeast Of the eruption of l843.

was about one hundred feet 10 diameter,
and it was sustained for twenty days and
nights, varying in height from one hun
dred to thousand feet. The disgorge.

with terrific explosions, which shook the
hills, and with detonatious which wer
heard for forty miles. This column Of
liquid tire was an object of surprising
brlIllancy, of intense and awful grandeur.
As the jet issued from the awful oritice,
it was white heat. AS 1t assembled high

In A HURRY.-A curious marriage ia
reported to have occurred some days since
near Bay City, Michigan, which reads
like this: 1t seems that farmer lost his
wife by death, and that tho said wife died
early in the morning. The fsrmsr did
not appreciate being left alone 10 the
world, and ere his wife's eyes had hardly
closed 10 the sleep that knows no waking
he decided to marry again. Hitohing up
his team, he takes in his servant girl and
goes to Bay City to buy garments for the
dead. While there he married the girl
and returned home the same night with
his second wife, so that by actual count
he was not widower twelve hours. The
new wife appeared at the funeral lhe next
day in deep black, and was one Of the
principal mouruers over the body of the
first wife.

There's never dying chorus
Breaking on the human ear,
In the busy town before us
Voices loud, and deep and clear.
This is Labor's endless ditty;
This Is Tolls prophetic voice,
Sounding through the town and city,
Bidding human hearts rejoice.
Sweeter than the poets singing
Is that anthem of the free,
Bllther is the anvil's ringing
Than the song of bird or bee.
There's glory in the rattle
Of the wheels mid factory gloom;
Richer than e'er snatched from battle
Are the trophies of the loom.
See the skillful mason raising
Gracefully yon towering pile;
Round the forge and furnace blazing
Stand the noblemen of toll.
They are heroes of the people,
Who the wealth of nations raise;
Every dome, and spire, and steeple,
Raise their heads in Labor's praise.
Glorious men and truth and labor,
Shepherds of the human fold,
That shall lay the brand and sabre
With the barbsrous hings of old,
Priests and prophets of creation,
Bloodless heroes in the fight,
Toiiers for the worlds salvation,
Messengers of peace and light.
Speed the pillow and speed the barrow;
Peace and plenty send abroad
Better, far, the spade and barrow,
Than the cannon or the sword.
Each invention, each Improvement,
Renders weak Opptessions rod
Every sign and every movement
Brings US nearer truth and God.
