Likeness of Heaven!
Agent Of power!
Man is thy..victim!
Shipwrecks thy dover!
Spices and jewels
From vallies and sea,
Armies and banners
Are buried in thee.
What are the riches
OF Mexicos mines,
To the wealth that far down
In thy deep water shines?
The proud navies that cover
The conquering west
Thou fling ct them to death
With one heave Of thy breast.
From the high hills that view
That wreck making shore,

Shrieks at the roar;
When, like lambs in the tempest
Or news in the blast,
Ger the ridge>oroken billows
Thy canvass is cast
How humbling TO one
With heart and sorI,
To look on thy greatness
And list TO its roll,
To think how tina, heart
In cold ashes shall be
When the voice Of eternity
Rises from thee?
Yes! where are the cites
Of Thebes and Of Tyre?
Swept from the nations
Like sparks from the fire;
The glory Of Athens,
The splendor of Rome
Dissolved-and forever
Like the dew in thy foam.
But thou art almighty,
Eternal-sublime-
Unweakened-unwasted-
Twin brother of timel
Fleets, tempests, nor nations,
Thy glory can bow,
As the stars first beheld thee,
Still chainless art thou!
But behold! When the surges
No longer shall roll,
And that ornaments length
Is drawn back like scroll,
Then-,ien shall the spirit
That sighs by thee now,

More chainless than thoul

WHEN DIP METHusELAH DIE?-We
have a contributor who has made a
startling discovery in relation TO Me-
thuselah. We will not vouch for the
correctness of his conclusions but SUBJ
nit the whole subject tor theological
discussion.
The chronology used by the civilized
world is founded in the dates furnished
US in the Bible. We reckon the date
OF the flood from the date found in ths
9Th chapter of Genesis.
Years
We learn from this chapter that Adam
lived before his son Seth was born Isl
Seth lived before his son Enos was born 10:
Enos lived before his son Cainan was born 9C
Cainan lived before his son Mahalaleel
was porn ..;...:.... 6u
Mahalaleel lived before his son Jared was
porn ............. lo0
Jared lived before his son Enoch was born 162
Enoch lived before Methuselah was Torn G5
Msthuselah lived before his SON Lamech
Lamech lived before his son Noah was born 50
Hence Noah was born Ammo Mundi Loss
In Genesis, 7th chapter, 9th verse,
We are informed that Noah was 600
years old when the flood Of waters was
upon the earth. Add 600 years, his
age, to 1856, gives the date of the flood
1856. We learn from the 9th verse,
5th chapter of Genesis. that "all the
days OF Methuselah were $50 years,
and he died. By reference to the
foregoing table it will be seen that
Methuselah was born Ammo Mundi
6S7, to which add his age, 500, and We
have 1856, the date of the flood, which
proves to mathematical certainty that
Methuselah was cut off at an untimely
age tor his wickedness.-[New York

FOREIGN CoNE EDERATE BoND. HOLDERS
The Confederate bond-holders in London
and Paris have not lost hopes that their
claims will yet be recognized. They base
their hopes upon the ultimate establish
ment of the fact that the Confederacy
was de facto government, and that this
being the case their cause was not the
cause of the Confederate bonds alone,
but that of holders OF every kind of
bonds issued by foreign governments.
The argument is that there is no class of
bonds on sale in the English market, or
at present held in the market, but that o
change of government would materially
effect their value, and that it was we'll
received principle that government
succeeding deJ Jacto one should ackuow-
ledge the debts contracted by it, and
that there was no good reason why the
United States should be made an ex-
ception to the rule. These men are in
dead earnest. and not only have method
and influence, but there is reason in
what some call their mad folly in persist
ing in their claims to recognition by
the United States of the legitimacy Of
the Confederate loan.

MELANcHoLY.-At Alstead, N. H., Oh
the 7tL instant, rs Mr.. Samuel G. Sayory
was yoking pair of Durham bulls, one
OF them attacked him in great fury,
hooked him down and broke his ribs,
one rib penetrating his right lung. He
also received other serious injuries, and
his recovery is doubtful. A hired man
prevented the bull from continuing the
attack, while the wife and son of Mr..
Savory got him into the house. The
saddest part of the affair remains to be
told. The son, who was about eleven
years old, was greatly excited by seeing
his father hooked by the beast, and the
precarious condition in which his parent
was left, had great effect upon his nerves,
and he soon evinced that his mind had
lost it's balance. Onthe 18th, when the
other children returned from school, he
was missing, and, it appeared, had not
been to school. Search was made for
him, when the poor little fellow was
found suspended by arope from beam
IN the sugar-house, having hung him
self.

The SITUATION IN EURoPE-The CONT
nunnce of peace in Europe, in spite of
all recent changes, depends more upon
France than upon any other Euro
pean power. Russia, Austria, Prussia,
are all so much bent on carrying out do
mestic reforms, that nothing but the
direst necessity will allow them to think
of war. The amicable snd satisfactory
settlement of the Franco Belgian diff
Guilty has removed the only cause of war
which was really alarming. The present
reform movement in Franco has assumed
that particular character which, to say
the least, renders foreign war extremely
improbable. The game which Napoleon
now has in hand is much more important
than the humbling of Prussia or the ac-
QUESTION of few square miles of terri
tory. It is q fact not without deep sig
nifcance that, simultaneously with the
Inauguration of sweeping and radical
reforms, Napoleon has taken steps to
reduce tho effective strength of the army.
We have little doubt that the example of
France will be generally initiated. The
huge ornaments of Europe are O curse
not only to the different nations, but to
the world. France has an available
force of 1000, 900 men. Russia, Prussia
and Austria can each count on almost MS
many. Italy is expressing herself and
running her chances by maintaining a
large standing army. It is the same all
over. War with such forces would be
dreadful. But why should war be neces-
sary? 1t is the dynasties, not the peo-
Piles, that are interested in the main-
tenanco of the present condition of
things. A grand European federal re-
public is the only cure for all this waste
and consequent misery. It is the stand
ing armies of Europe that are forcing
upon the United States population and
wealth. Why should we complain?

the fact that two windows are open for
the sale of stamps in sums less than one
dollar. The receipts at each of these
windows average 81, 900 per day. The
daily consumption of stamps at this Of

Tho allusion by Gen. Grant to "the
liberal policy of the United States, -
pursuant to which the French ocean
cable was permitted to be landed at Dux-
bury, is in most execrable taste, and
shows that the Cabinet is lacking in
even the most ordinary rules of polite
ness. When it is remembered that the
question of permitting the cable to land
at all was the cause of many grave Cabi-
net discussions, and that the policy
shadowed forth by some of the leading
members of the Government was one of
exclusion and non-intercourse, the re-
ference becomes still more Objectionable.
Common as we'll as court etiquette re-
quires that no individual shall boast of
his own liberality, or that of the Govern
ment he represents, especially in mere
complimentary despatch. But when, as
in this case, no liberality was displayed;
when, on the contrary, permission de-
manded by the most ordinary require
ments of international comfy was Sc
cured only by commercial pressure
from without, any illusion to the liberal
policy of the administration is an offence
against good taste; and but little less
than an insult to France and our own
people.

Cuba,


Owing to the rigorous and cruel policy
pursued by De Rodas, the Cuban insur-
reotion is now reduced to desperate
straits. al prisoners and suspected
persons have either been killed, impri-
soned Or banished, and Upwards OF
!. hoo estates have. been conf nfscated.
2 The Cuban Jnnta in New York is out
OF money. and consequently unable to
despatch nforcements, even were the
United States Government to withdraw
its opposition. This result is due to the
Cubans themselves, who seem to have
imagined that revolutions can be accom-
plished; by running, away from them.
Northern papers tell us that upwards
Of 5000 voluntary exiles are domiciled
in New York, and 1000. to 5000 in
every other Atlantic city; besides this,
many are in New Orleans, on the Bahia
mas, and in Europe. They seem to have
forgotten that those who would be free
themselves must strike the blow; and
certainly lacked that courageous spirit
OF self-sacrifice without which no reyo-
luton was ever .,ot successfully accom-
pliuhed. This unfortunate ending is
rendered the more melancholy when we
reflect upon the prospective fate of those
who have shown more illustrious quail
ties; for Cuba is not destitute of heroes.
They bid 7fair, unless some brighter pros
poets dawn, to be caught like rats in
trap, deserted by those in whose service
they have risked both life and fortune,
to crown the conqueror's. triumph with
an unhappy fate. No wonder public en-
thusiasm in the United States has so
thoroughly cooled in the face of this
army of young Cubans, who shrink from
all danger outside the dancing halls and
opera houses of New York city. Not
even the patriotism of the Cuban ladies,
carried to such extreme bounds as it was,
has been potent enough to conquer the
disgust inspired by the carefully clothed
and kidded shirkers who thropg our
cities. If the star of Young Cuba does
go down in sea of blood, fearful re-
sponsibility will rest upon their heads
o stain as damning as that which marked
the brow of Cain.

The Stomach is the great centre which

Indigestion, offensive breath and physi-

singular phenomenon. William Rowell
was struck suddenly deaf and dumb, u
few days ago, when en- route to Memphis
from his place of residence. Out of mere
sport, when a newsboy came round and
offered him paper, he feigned to be
both deaf and dumb, and in this way
annoyed the vender. The newsboy
passed on, but the unfortunate joker
never spoke again. When he began to
realize the extent of his misfortune, he
got off the train, bound for Memphis, at
Mason's depot. and took the first return
train. On the cars, he INDUCED in loud
lamentations aud cries, as if sorely dis
tressed. On his arrival home, as soon
as he stepped out on the platform, he
seized o pencil and bit of paper from a
citizen, and wrote, "struck dumb on nc
count of my folly" and continued weep
ing in most piteous tones.

REMARKABLE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
EFFECTS. A letter received at Louisville
from Princeton, KY, speaks of fear
full accident which occurred on the Goth
ult. A man named Boot Grow was haul
ing upon wagon two immense mill
stones, one of which weighed 1850
pounds. While passing along the side
of high hill the heaviest stone rolled
from the wagon and down the declivity
with great velocity, crushing small trees
and shrubbery in its course. The house
of q farmer named Darwell was situated
ut the foot of the hill. The milestone
went crushing through fence and into
the yard of the farmers house, where
were q number of bee-hives In the
yard were playing q bcvy of children
The bee-hives were upset, and tho bees
in the confusion lighted upon the chill
dren, stinging every one of them in q
frightful manner. The progress of the
great stone was not impeded in the least
by its collision with the hives, and went
bounding into stock pasture beyond
the house. It dashed into n herd Of
calves and horses, killing two of the for
mer and one of the latter almost instant
ly. The children in the yard had been
completely covered with the bees, and
each was stung by them until their per-
sons were entirely covered with white
swellings One of them died few
hours after the terrible occurrence, and
two others are entirely speechless and
blind. They can hardly recover.
