"A WOMAN s LOVE. One Of the strang-
est as well as one of the most remarkable |
cases Of woman's devotion has lately
come to our ears that we have ever
known. A young man who was engag
ed to be married to young ladyof a
good family, in Dubuque, was some
time since sent to the Penitentiary for
stealing. The lady was the only person
who appeared to have any interest i'll his
release, and ''single handed and alone'
she did everything in her power to have
him pardoned. For a long time her eff
forts We're of no avail, but finally she
wrote Gov. Stone that her all depended
upon the release of the young man
that she was engaged to be married to
him, and that UNFORTUNATELY she was
in such a condition that unless she was
allowed to marry him herself and iami-
ly would be disgraced.' BY this r,tse
she succeeded in accomplishing the de-
sired end. Under these circumstances
the Governor instructed the Warden to
let the young man "go free provided
the young lady would marry him before
leaving the penitentiary, which she did
One OF the last boats up the river

Golden AND PALMERsToN.-Rev. DR..
Waddington, of London, in letter to the
Congregationalst, relates the following anec-
dote of Golden, showing the plainness with
which he talked when Palmerston asked him
to accept office:
On meeting Lord Palmerston, Mr.. Golden
was told that place was reserved for him
in the Ministry, and the veteran statesman
expressed his earnest desire that the great
free trader would accept the position offered
to him, and that all would act harmoniously
Mr.. Golden replied in his frank manner that
it was impossible for him to unite with the
Government under the leadership of Palmer
ston. ''Imay beswrong, my lord" he said,
were the greatest impostor in Europe, and
that you lost millions of money, and were
dear at fraction of the price. l may have
been mistaken in my estimate, but it will not
do to make the discovery of such an error at
the moment of accepting Office"
sob that is nothing" replied the good
tempered Palmerston "you have not hit
me harder than Gibson, and he has joined
u.s.
THAT may be-" said Golden; but can
not think of taking the appointment" AT
ter little further conversation, the honest
free trader retired, expressing his admiration
of the good natured Premier, and promising
to join an evening party at Cambridge House,
but still intlexible in his purpose not to take
office

themselves to receive the prize, one of whom
had recited one verse more thar the other,
both having learned several thousand verses
of Scripture. The gentleman who presided
inquired:
"And could you not have learned one
verse more, and thus have kept up with
Martha?n
"Yes, SIR" the. blushing child replied
"but loved Martha, and kept back on pur-
pose"
"And was there any one of all the verses
you have learned" again inquired the Presi-

Selected Poetry

Leaf by Leaf the Roses Fall.
Leaf by leaf the roses fall,
Drop by drop, the springs run dry;
One by one, beyond recall,
Summer beauties fade and die;
But the roses bloom again,
And the springs will gush anew,
In the pleasant April rain,
And the summers sun and dew.
So in hours of deepest gloom,
When the springs in gladness fail,
And the roses in the bloom,
Droop like maidens wan and pale
We shall find some hope that lies
Like silent gem apart,
Hidden far from careless eyes,
In the garden of the heart.
Some sweet hope to gladness wed,
That will spring afresh and new;
When grief's winter shall have fed,
Giving place to rain and dew
Some sweet hope that breathes of spring,
Through the weary, weary time,
Budding for its blossoming
In the spirits glorious cline.

THE aoIeAR-sHIp . LAUNcHED.

Mr.. Winans, cigar-ship has just been
launched in England. 1t is announced that
she is intended for q private yacht, to be at
tached to the Imperial Yacht Club Of St.
Petersburg. She is christened the z Rose
Williams.n In a few weeks she will be ready
for sea, and some important and interesting
experiments will lie made, to test her speed
and sea going capabilities.
Some peculiarities of her construction are
thus described in the London Times" Be
meath the vessel, in place ola keel, is broad
band of the best Lowmoor iron, an inch thick,
by three feet wide. This is meant to protect
her in case of taking the ground, as from her
peculiar form it would be easy to beach her
on any emergency. Inside this is an iron
floor covered with wood, which runs from end
to end of the vessel, and forms, in fact her
passenger deck. This floor amidships is on
ly about six feet from the lower cylinder, so
that overhead there is tolerably roomy cab
in, much resembling in shape a small railway
tunnel. The upper and only outer deck is
one hundred and thirty feet long by ten and
half feet broad, and is formed by building
for that length what we may call square,
flat topped wooden cover on the upper side
of the cylinder For all the world she SEEM
ed like the back of whale that had been
decked and tunneled, rather than any ship
meant to navigate the ocean" p Washington

CoNNEcTIcUT.-There seems to be no pos
sible doubt that Gen. Hawley, the Union
candidate for Governor of Connecticut, has
been chosen by majority ranging some
where near 700. The vote of the State shows
some curious changes for instance, in New
Haven there is Democratic majority of
nearly thousand more than usual. But the
feverish excitements of town life did not ex
tend to the rural districts, and so we are
very happy to record the honorable and de-
served success of generous and brave sol
dier, the representative of the loyal men of
the State instead of the semi-loyal exponent
of the party that did its utmost to thwart
and discourage the Government in its days
of adversely. The good people of the Land
of Steady Habits are not hasty in changes of
opinion-they move slowly but surely, and
in this instance they have rightly preferred
the path ofapproved and manifest loyalty to
the tortuous ways of the tide-waiters of a
party that is loyal or disloyal, friend or foe,
as the shifting chances of the hour may die

MELLOW AGE-" 1 love to look back upon

THE OCEAN BoTToM Mr. Green, the ia
nous diver, tells singular stories of his ad-
ventures when making search in the deep
waters of the ocean. He gives me some new
sketches of what he saw at the " Silver Bank, .
near Hayti sxs.s,
The banks are of the coral on which my
diyings were made are about forty miles in
length, and from ten to twenty in breadth.
On this bank of coral is presented to the di-
yer one of the most beautiful and sublime
scenes the eye ever beheld The water varies
from ten to one hundred feet in debth, and is
so clear that the diver can see from two to
three hundred feet when submerged, with but
little obstruction to the sight
The bottom of the ocean in many places is
as smooth as marble floor, in others it is
studded with coral columns from ten to one
hundred feet in height, and from one to
eighty feet in diameter. The tops of those
more lofty support myriad of pyramidial
pendants, each forming more, giving the real
ity to the imaginary abode Of some water
nymph. In other places the pendants form
arch after arch and as the diver stands on
the bottom of the ocean and gazcs through
the deep winding avenue, he finds they will
!. ill him with as sacred an awe as if he were
in some old cathedral which had been long
beneath old oceans waves Here and there
the coral extends even to the surface of the
water, as if the loftier columns were towers
belonging to these stately temples that are
now in ruins.

having in their possession twenty-five silver
Watches, fifteen brass Watches, together with
about peck of breastpins, rings, finger rings,
spoons, &C. They are held for the arrival of per-
sons from Newbern, Raleigh and other places,
who have been robbed of this kind OF ware lately,
to see if any of the articles can be identified as
those recently stolen in the places mentioned.

EFFECTS OF PRAYER-If we ask you why
Daniel was preserved from lions 2 Why he
was admitted into the secrets OF the divine

why the man of God was glorified by his
promotion in heather court? The answer
to all is He kneeIed three times day, and
prayed, and gave thanks before his Cod

TRUTH.-I believe that nature herself has
constituted truth as the supreme deity, which
is to be adored by mankind, and that she
has given it greater force than any of the
rest; for, being opposed, as she is on all
sides, and appearances of truth, so often
passing for the thing itself, in behalf OF
plausible falsehoods, yet by her wonderful
operation, she insinuates herself into the
minds of men, sometimes exerting her
strength Immediately, and sometimes lying
hid in darkness for a length of time; but at
last she struggles through it, and appears
triumphant over Observation-Disclosures.

SPEAK KNDLY-How much misery may
be abated, how much suffering may be re-
moved by the simple tone and expression Of
the human voice Upon the heart that is
lone and desolate, how sweetly falls the
voice of sympathy and consolation Why
is it, then, since everything proves, and none
are ignorant of the fact-that all must lie
down in mother earth together. since all are
travellers in this highway to death-why is
it that each should be so sparing of that
which costs him nothing, but which might
raise the dropping spirits Of his neighhor.
and cheer him on his Journey few kind
words and kindly looks?
