The July SESSION. 1T is evident that a
Summer session of Congress has become
necessary, to save the Radical party from
disruption and death. 1t has been found
that the stock of agitation prepared last
winter is exhausted, and that the people
have so subsi,lcd upon their sober second
thought and the ways Of peace, Cancellation
and reason, as to leave positively no hope
for the success Of Radicalism except in Il re-
newal of strife and i'll will. For this pur-
pose the Rump Congress is to assemble.

ACCIDENT ON TIE CATAwIssA RAILROAD
AT DANvILLE.-Thc Dsnyille Americoa, of
Thursday last, says AN accident occur
red on the Catawissa Railroad, in this place,
on Friday last. A freight train was on the
main track between the depot and Bloom
street. The conductor, it seems, intended
to send out signal to warn the passenger
train, due at | O'Clock, but fell asleep in
the cabooSc. The passenger train came
down round the curve at a pretty rapid rate,
and walked up the conductor of the freight
train by dcmolishing the caboose. The
sleeping conductor was seriously injured,
and was carried away more dead than alive.
The passenger locomotive reared up on the
next cars, and there remained a perfect
wreck. A number of the cars were more or
less broken, but none Of them were thrown
from the track, nor were any of the passen-
gers hurt, with the exception of few slight
bruises. The conductor of the freight train
is severely censurcd"

Will NAPOLEON Some Day Leave His Palace
Kew Under the Door Mat.

The Faubourg St. Antoine has been in
a state of moral tumult in consequence
of the return to his home of certain
workman deeply skilled in the art Of i'm
itating precious stones. The man has
been absent for a considerable time, aud
as he had taken every precaution before
departure, it was imagined that he had
gone on a visit to friends in his own part
of the country AT first the man was
discreet enough and never breathed
word concerning his ABSENCE but the
wine shop is not made for confidential
communications and it was soon found
that after the first two bottles the work
man invariably began to betray symp
toms of an overburdened mind, and to
long for some genial spirit into whose
ear he would have poured the secret
which SO strangely weighed upon him.
The hint was soon taken. Amid the
sharp.witted denizens of the democratic
Faubourg, hob-nobbing invariably leads
to treachery, and a bosom friend wormed
the story out. of the man as easily as may
be. The jeweler had not been farther
than the Tuileries all this time. What
had he been doing there2 He had been
employed by the Emperor. In what ca
pacity2 He had been making false dia-
monds for His Majesty. This revelation,
of course, whetted the curiosity OF
his comrades to the utmost extent
= and by dint of another bottle
of peRt bleu he confessed to hay-
ing been lodged, fed, and provided with
ali good things at the Tuileries, in order
that he might have no distraction what
ever from his work-that of taking the
exact model in paste of the crown dia-
monds Not a single stone but has been
taken from its setting and made in imi-
tation so closely that it will be perfectly
impossible to detect the difference. Every
single stone has become the object of
particular study and the Emperor
expressed himself SO greatly satisfied
with the work that he ordered that the
workman should receive double the pay
he had asked for the job. But COM
rade, said one, who had been following
the narrative in silent amazement, what
can be the reason a man wants false
diamonds when he already possesses the
real? What can the Emperor have in
contemplation now ?" why" returned
the comraie, in a low and deliberate
tone, he means one of these days to
leave the key under the door mat, like
any one of us when we cant pay the
landlord, aud fly to some other place
which is not too hot to hold u.s." The
truth of the story you may rely on, as
well as the answer which was given by
the workman to his questioners; but the
moral of the tale lies in the facility with
which it was believed, and the perfectly
natural manner in which it was regarded.

There's dear. sweet 5? way down in the

To which my heart ever turns with Ign'
And my tears fail fast as leaves in the blastl
When the winds of autumn are hurrying py.
IT'S the happy place where drank my NIL
And cooled NY burning thirst with Joy,
From the gushing spring at the foot OF the NIL
Where drank when was boy.
In the old stone house standing high above.
with It's honest front and open door,
Dwell. the dearest friends Of my boyhood's love
In the gay and the happy times ofyore. 80,
On their love and their friendship musng still,

OftHe gushing spring at the foot of the hill,

look around me and the friends are gone.
Who played with me there in my boyhoods
time,
And still through this world am wandering
on
Now dreaming dream and now mutterins a
rhyme, ,
But up through the mist of memory still,
Like music heard from the land Of JOY, -,
Comes the gushing spring at the foot Of the hill
Where drank when was boy.
In the valley below, where the map'e shade
Grows dark on the mound Of her early grave
Lies sleeping forever gentle maid,
Who was lovely as God TO earth Ger gave.
And the stream flows on in its music still
As IL comes with hymn ofjoy, 80,
From the gushing spring az the loot Oh the hiil'
