WHERE THE Sun DOES NOT SET
The following graphic passage is from
the description Of ecene Witnessed by
q Mr.. Campbell and his party, in the
North Of Norway, from cliff one
thousand feet above inc sea: The
ocean stretched away in silent vastDess
at our feet; the sound of its waves
scarcely reach our airy lookout; away
In the North the huge old sun swung
low along the horizon, like the slow
beat of the pendulum in the tall clock
of our grandfather's parlor corner
We all stood silent looking at our
watches. When both hands came to-
gether at twelve, midnight, the full
round orb hung triumphant!y above
the wave-a bridge Of gold running
north spanned the water between US
and him. There he shone in silent
majesty, which knew no setting. We
involuntarily took off our hats; no
word was said. Combine, if you can,
the most brilliant sunrise and sunset
you ever saw, and its. beauties will pale
before the gorgeous coloring' which
now lit up the ocean, heaven and
mountain. In half an hour the sun had
swung up perceptibly on his beat, the
colors changed to those of morning, q
fresh breeze rippled over the flood
one sougster after another piped up in
the grove behind us-we had slid into
another day.

A FEMALE M1sER.-An Ell Paso. ILL.,,
exchange contains an account of the
death of forlorn old lady, who had
occupied room in one of the public
buildings ofthat town, for some years
and about whose name and history
nothing was known. She had seemed
to shrink from notice, and lived a
cherries, and lonely life. She was
found, last week, delirious, with fever,
from which she soon died. She was
buried at the expense of the town au-
thorities. After the funeral, her ELECTS
were examined, and, sewed up in an old
petticoat, several thousands of dollars,
in United States bonds. were found.
Several thousand dollars were also
found secreted in an old trunk. She
had not left scrap of writing by
which her identity can be proved, ex-
cept some letters from persons in Gin
cinnati. relative to property she owned,
and wac rented there. Through this
party, there is some hope of discove.-
ing who and what this old female miser
had been.

gun to shoot him, but before he could

about q dozen small shot having enter
ed her side. The horror and remorse
stricken husband hurried to neighbor
for assistance, and q messenger was

her wounds. He thinks that the
wounds will prove fatal. The unfor-

to another child. The wife gives nc
satisfactory reason for being in the
shed, and on the part Of both parties
there is an evident desire to conceal
the real fact, of the case.

sary to speak Of Mr.. Murdoch's cloqucncc,
or of his oratorical powers, for he is we'll
known to the Washington public In this re-
gard. As an clocutionlst he has but few
equals and certainly no superior. He gave
correct analysis Of Mr.. Llncoln's mind and
heart, and by his well-chosen anecdotes and
apt Illustrations brought out into distinct
view that eminent mans prominent charac'
teristics. Ills poetical quotations were well
chosen and splendidly reclted. lie paid a
