And bars Of purple clouds appear,

Thou solemn month l hear thy voice;

My lfe's dim emblems rustling round,
In hues Of crimson and Of gold
The years dead honors on the ground;
And sighing with the winds, feel
While their low pinions murmur by,
How much their sweeping tones reveal
OF life and human destiny.
When Springs delightsone moments shone,
They came in zephyrs from the West;
They bore the WOODLANDS melting tone,
They stirred the blue lark's CLASSY broasti
Through Summer, faintiDg In the heat,
They fingered 10 the forest shade;
But changed and strengthened now, they boa
In storm, DER mountain, glen, and glade.
How like those transports Of the breast
When life 10 fresh and joy is new;
Soft as tho hacyon's downy nest,
And transient all as they are truei
They stir the leaves in that bright wreath
Which Hope about her forehead twines,
Till Griefs hot sghs around it breathe,
Then Pleasures lips its smile resigns.
Alas for Time, and Death, and Care,
What gloom about our way they flng
Like clouds in Autumn's gusty air,
The burial pageant Of the Spring.
The dreams that each successive year
Seemed bathed in hues Of brighter pride,
At last like withered leaves appear,
And sleep in darkness side by side.

Printers Mistakes.

During the Mexican War one of the
English newspapersh hurriedly announc.
ed the important item of news from
Mexico, that General Pillow and thirty
seven of his men had been lost in a
bottle (battle.) Some other paper in
formed the public, not long ago, that
a brown surtout was yesterday brought
before the court on the charge of steal
ing small OK (bOX) from a lady's
work bag. The stolen property was
found in his waistcoat pocket. A rat
(raft) says another paper, descending
the river, came in contact with a
steamboat ; and so serious was the in
jury to the boat that great exertions
were necessary to save it. An Eng
lish paper once stated that the Russian
General Backineff knowsky was found
dead with long word (sword) in his
mouth. 1t was, perhaps, the same
paper that, in giving description of
a battle between the Poles and the
Russians, said that the conflict was
dreadful and that the enemy were re-
pulsed with great laughter slaughter J
Again, a gentleman was recently
brought up to answer the charge OF
having eaten (beaten) stage driver
for demanding more than his fare.

Every newspaper in the land which
has the interests of soldiers at heart
should constantly caution them against
the dishonest claim agents of this city.
No law or penalty deters them from
their infamous work. Their constant
study is how to defraud those who
entrust their claims to them. There
are honest and competent men enough
here engaged in collecting claims to do
all the business, and soldiers should
examine references closely before en-
ploying any one.

claim agents debarred from doing busi-
ness with the Paymaster Generals Of

SOME TIME AHEAD.-It will be
gratifying to the present generation to
know that Prof. Benz. Pierce, the first
of American mathematicians, has
demolished the -meteoric theory OF
solar heat, and demonstrated that the
sun will continue for 30,000,00O years
to afford sufficient caloric to sustain
human life upon the earth. This is
about as long as we are personally in
terested in the matter. The prospect
that our descendants may be frozen to
death after the expiration of that time
is too remote to cause serious unhappi
ness. ..ut -r.. .rr.

All persons of taste will be gratifed
to learn of the wise foresight of our
rulers in securing from speculation and
individual ownership the peculiar glo-
ries of California in the shape of natu-
raj scenery. Many who never dream
of visiting the Pacific coast even when
the railway is completed, yet will re-
joice to know that others will have
this rare treat, and be permitted to
see in one group the largest trees, the
highest waterfall, and the most singu-
lar mountain ridges and peaks in the
world.
The last Congress segregated the

A Wonderful Dream, and n Mar.
row Escape from Destruction.

AOW ALSNaNPO AENSAN
Mr.. Robertson, Mail Agent on the
Atlantic and Great Western Road
between this city and Cleveland, re-
lated to us, yesterday, the strange
item about a farmer who prevented
terrible disaster on that road near
Mansfield, Ohio, at the time of the re-
cent general freshet. We had before
seen paragraph relating to the sing.
ular affair. Mr.. r. conversed with the
farmer, and here is the story, in short;
The farmer "a Pennsylvanian) went
to bed during the heavy and protract-
ed storm, Monday night, and dream
ing that the fill across q chasm, some
hundred feet deep, had given way un-
der a passenger train and let it down
into the abyss, he sprung up to render
assistance to the passengers, ran to the
door, and was fastening from the
house, when his wife awakened him.
He related his dream, and went to bed
again, but slept little more during the
night. The dream made such a deep
impression on his mind that he hast
ened to the chasm next morning early,
to see what condition it was in; but
the road was apparently all right,
though the water was pouring and
surging through the large culvert be-
meath as though it would wash the
earth away. Tuesday night the farmer
could not rest for thinking about his
dream of the previous night, and get
ting up, he procured his lantern and
hurried off to the chasm. When he
. arrived there he found, to his terror,
that the huge fill had been washed out,
leaving nothing but the unsupported
ties and track over the chasm! Hear
, ing the train laundering toward de-
t struction, the farmer clambered across
q the dreadful break, and running down
the road some distance, he signaled
: the approaching train to stop. And
e so short was the time, that by the
o time the engineer was able to "hOld
t up" the engine was within but few
q feet of the chasm.
The train was large, and was filled
V with persons who had been to the
great Union meeting at Mansfield
l What a narrow escape they all made
/ from a horrible death For the train
: would have plunged down the fright.
J, full precipice, car upon car, crushing
e all to death in the ruins The pas
n sengers at once evinced their gratitude
e to their preserver, the Pennsylvania
), by making him up handsome sum Of
}, money.

From a close examination of the

that oyer two thousand printers We're
found in the ranks of the Union army
during the late war; that over one
half of them were killed or died in
hospitals. This showing is one of
which the craft may well be proud,
and will compare favorably with that
