 Thus I sigh, . poor little Arbutus! Into elements now resolve,

 0rpheus sadly came from Hades,
 Where he left his wife, No society ofladies, All his life. Could make up his loss. All the fair ones tried to win him,
 Just because be was SO shy; z Sure the devil must be in him,
 For whatever arts they try. Only made him cross Then bis lite was so romantic,
 And he played the harp 50 we'll, That the maids grew almost frantic,
 Till disgusted, 1t befsli, They determined he should die. So each maid put on quiver,
 Armed with arrows keen, Shot them st him by the river,
 Then they pushed him in : ]. And the stream flowed by. Eagerly he flew to Hades,
 Glasped his fair one in his arms; All the wealth from Troy to Gades Could not make him leave her charms. Through Elysin'n they roam,
 By the foam - Of Acheron. or .Lethe sounding high. Yale Courant

 In . like doom, the night afford d. A like display of mercy done. He~ oft I've dreamed ofsight as full restored! Not once as gone.
 Restored as with flash gaze
 On open books with letters plain; And scenes and faces ofthe dearer days.
 Are bright again. g o sleep! in pity thou art made A double boon to such as we; Beneath closed lids and folds of deepest shade We think we see.

 Around our steps and o'er thy will, The mercy seat that hides the coyenant-ark
 Has angels still.
 Thou who art light illume the page Within renew these respites sweet And show beyond the films and wear of age .

 AS25, ,00O TREE.-In the month of Janua,y, 1866. remarkable tree was brought to New York from western State, which is considered by the best judges to be worth $25,0O0 No foreign tree was ever brought here of so great value. TLis was black walnut tree 70 feet long, measuring board or inch measure 4,500 feet but when cut into veneers, it would be 30 times that, making 135,000 feet, which at 20 cents would be $27,0o0. The cost of cut ting. carting and placing in store for sale, would be about $7OO.
 There are other kinds of trees also in this country which are.valuable for manufacturing purposes, as well as for fruit and shade, of which black walnut has for the last six years been taking the lead of mahogany. and is worth now as much mahogany was formerly. The figure most sought for at present, is stripe which seens to be formed by the saps, casting dark and light shades alternately through the tree, which when worked, makes the most beautiful furniture that is manufactured. A tree worth SIC 900 is not often found but one worth. S25 ,000 is harder to strike than oil.-. Our forests abound iu trees of great value, and the wealth that is in them is scarcely yet be- gun to be developsd.-N ' Daily.

A SINGULAR CIRcUNsrANcE.-Some two W eeks siDce, yathg lady of this city, whose father is engaged in he mercantile business, awoke from g sleep feeling distressed and alarmed from the effects of an unpleasant dream. The gas light was burning but had been turned down to the closest point, thus making dim light in the room and rendering portions of it almost dark. Soon after awakening the young lady's attention was attracted by the well-de- fined figure of lady of her acquaintance mov- ing from the door, some ten feet from the foot of her bed toward it. Impulsively she called the figure by name. on the instant forgetting tbe improbability of the friend being in the house, and the fact that she was not resident of the city, but resided in St. Louis. Soon, however. all this recnrrsd to her and the hg
 ure already neared the now alarmed girl. The form and features were perfect and distinct, the. expression one of cheering greeting, and as it approached closer and closer to her side, it became dinner and dinner, and finally dis appeared entirely, when it had advanced to about half the length of the bed. The nervous ness induced by the incident, naturally enough induced the young lady to arouse the family, who absorbed the matter to exciting imagin
 ings. But there is . singular sequel She nad forebodings despite all that was said to calm tnem, and the next day wrote to her friend, de tailipg the incident. An answer was prompt ly received, announcing the good health of the writer, and the fact that on the same night, and at the same hour, she had been visited in precisely the same manner by the semblance of her friend in Albany, and been alarmed thereby, lest it was the forerunner of evil. The
 mutual revelation was relief to both. The circumstances, we think. has few it any. parai- lels. and can partially be absorbed to the love the two girls have for each other. and to act've nervous temperament. But as to an entirely
 satisfactory explanation of it, none can pc given .Al6any Times. 'esf a
