Romance of a Poor Young woman.

Saturday morning, two young men who
had moi recovered from the excitement OF the
civic holiday, concluded to finish up tue
week on the bay; and, arming themselves
with flask of "pTovisions," " and other pls-
catorial appurtenances proceeded eastward
by the railroad track. On arriving at
point about two miles east OF the city limits,
one of them noticed person lying near the
track, with small carpet-bag cRrelessly
thrown near by. Surprising that the man
had been stunned or injured by passing
train, they endeavored TO revive him. The
flask was applied to the lips OF the PROSTATE
man, and one of them undertook to open his
vest, when he was astonished to notice bo-
som that was little more mountainous than
is usually found with people dressing in
male attire. In the meantime the contents
OF the flask had produced the desired enect,
and when the young woman (lor so she
turned out TO bel found that her sex was
discovered, she was constrained to make q
clean breast eff her situation, She had learned
teegrapv, in the State of New York, and
finding it difficult, owing TO her sex, TO pro-
cure employment in the capacity OF an ope-
rator, had adopted male attire, with the ue-
termination OF making her way TO procure
situation. Her funds, however, were de-
pleted when size reached the Suspension
Bridge, and, while walking towards hamll-
ton. She had become exhausted from fatigue
and hunger at the pon; where she was no,

for the rude blunder they had unlntentioh'
ally made. and pressed her to accept what
little money they had about them, TOR whlcn
she was very grateful. She then requested
their names: and alter stating that she woulo
return the little donation as soon as abie

'The Devil loose iu GeOrgia---NesrO out

We learn from gentleman who is en-
gagged in laying out the railroad track on the
new Brunswick road, that on Thursday last
two respectable young girls residing near
Station IA, upon the Central road, were on
their way home from school, W nen they were
overtaken by two stout negroes, who imme-
dately seIzed them, and, despite their
screams for aid, committed diabollcal out.

violence, one of tue negroes, who had but

ran like wildfire through the neighborhood,

A HORRIBLE SCENE.
sharks Fighting over the Dead BOdy of a
Female.

During no previous season have the wa
ters surrounding Manhattan Island been
visited by such large numbers of sharks as
those which are now TO be seen daily dis
porting themselves about the piers bordering
on the East and North rivers. What has
driven these monsters in such unusual num-
bers into our waters ii is difficult 10 say,
some attributng il to tile unusual number of
"menhadenn which have made their appear,
ance in the harbor during the present season,
while Others attribute their presence 10 the
unusually large number of dead bodies which
at present appear in the river.
One thing is very remarkable In c0nnee-
tion with these visits, namely: The boldness
winch they exhibit IN their movements. 1t
is no uncommon sight to see party of three
or four of these ugly fellows gamboling In
the waters IN close proximity 10 the piers,
while passengers BY The Fulton and Hamil-
! ton ferries have frequently seen them al
night gliding silently along in the wake oil
the boats, as If ready TO pounce upon any
thing, from ham sandwich 10 a human
being, which might drop from the boat.
The most remarkable adventure In con-
nection with these blood-thirsty fellows oc-
Cured yesterday morning, lD the vicinity OF
Pier 90, East liver, the details OF which are
almost too revolving for publication. While
d party of longshoremen were engaged IN
unloading one Of the ships lying at the above
mentioned pier, their attention was attracted
by the frantic movement of number of
hinge sharks, which, having discovered q
rich morsel in the murky waters which
lnyed the pier, were engaged in most ex-
citing contest tor the spoils. Selling a
number of weapons in the shape OF stones,
brickblts and shovels, the men fastened 10
the spot, upon reaching which they discov-
cred that the water, for the distance of about
fifty yards around the spot was tinged with
blood.
Upon closer inspection, the laborers dis
covered the cause OF the excited movements
of the monsters. Fastened between two o.
the logs which constituted the front OF th'
pier, was the dead body of female, appar
entity about 20 years of age, over the mutt
lated aud bleeding remnants OF which The
} hungry monsters were quarreling with all the
ierocity of pack af wolves over the carcass
Of dead animal The greater portion o
the lower limbs had already been cater
away, and one huge fellow was seen, upor
the approach of the party, TO dart OIL into
the stream, bearing with him large piece
of flesh torn from the side of the dead body
: A boat was instantly secured and manned
< and an effort made to rescue tue body iron
e the rapicious monsters, but before the mel
reached the spot, one huge fellow was seeI
10 plunge his teeth into the flesh, with whlcl
e he darled into the stream, his track beini

The Old Turnpike.

We hear no more the changing hoof
And the stage coach rattling by,
For the steam king rules the travel world,
And the old pixies leit to die.
The grave creeps o'er the flinty path,
And the stealthy daisies steal
Where once the stage horse, day by day,
Liited his iron heel
No more the weary stager breads
The toll of the coming morn
No more the bustling landlord runs
At the sound Of the eehoing horni
For the dust lies still upon tine road,
And the bright.eyed children play
Where once the elatlering hoof and wheel
Rattled along the way.
No more we hear the cracking whip,
And the strong wheels rumbling sound
And Rh the water drives US OH,
And an iron horse is found
The coach stands rnsting In the yard,
The horse has sought the plough;
We have spanned the world with an iron rail,
And the steam king rules us now.
The old turnpike is pike no more
Wide open stands the gate
We have made us a road for our horse to stride,
And we ride at flying rate.
We have filled the valleys and levelled the hlls
And tunnelled the mountains side,
And round the rough crag'a dizzy verge
Fearlessly now we ride.
On-on-op-with o naughty front,
puff, a shf sk, and bound,
While the tprdy echoes wake too late
To echo back the sound
And the old pike road is left alone,
And the stagers seek the plough
We have circled the earth with an iron rail,
And the steam king rules us now.

A CURIOUS FAeT.-A few nights since,
upon retiring to rest, the gas being out and
the room quite dark, lady correspondence
attention was directed to her foot, which
was illuminated by light which, upon exam
ination, wss found 10 be phosphorescent,
and proceeded from the upper side OF the
fourth toe of the tight foot. Upon rubbing
it with the hand the light increased and iol-
lowed up the foot, the fumes filing the room
with disagreeable odOr. This lasted some
time, when the foot was immersed in BASIN
of water, hoping to quench the light, but 10
no purpose, for it continued beneath the sur
face of the water, the tunes rising ABOVE.
The foot was taken out and wiped dry, but
the light still remained second INNER
sion Of the foot followed, and soap applied
with the same result No more expert
ments were tried, and after time it grad
ualy faded and disappeared. The time oc-
cupied by the phenomena was about three
quarters OF an hour. The lady's husband
substantiates the above facts, as he also wit
messed them. The emitting of phosphoru
from live body is new to the writer.
