New YORK, October q, Evening.-The
chief features, the decline of gold and the
sudden ease Of borrowing rates for gold, is
attributed to q rumor that it is Secretary
Boutwell's intention to anticipate the No
vember interest without rebate.
The gold withdrawn from the market yes
terday restored the present manifestation Of
cash gold for high borrowing rates, and de-
moralizes foreign exchange, and interferes
with the legitimate exports of the trade of
the country.
There are rumors afOat that Secretary
Boutwell, is negotiating with some German
bankers to put the funding bill into practi-
cal operation, and is endeavoring to get up
q grand combination to take the new five
per cents and call in the '62s.

Tours, October 2l.-There are contra
dictory ruMors of the enemy's movements
on the Loire. The impression is they have
abandoned the movement in this direction,
and are advancing in force toward Nor
mandy, where there are fewer troops to
oppose them. The French army Of the
Loire are in camp, improving daily; discip-
line vigorous. Numberless soldiers have
been shot for disObedience. The men are
now in fine, condition. French scouts, near
Blois, captured a number of Uhlans.
1t is positively asserted that the Prussians
fred ST. Cloud to conceal their depreda-
tons. Citizens assert thas the valuables
were removed before the fire.
The government has appropriated 1o0, 600
francs to Chateaudrln as a tribute for its
heroic defense.
Engineers ard forming entrenched camps,
where troops can be drilled and formed into
corps.
NJ Thiers has arrived here.
Tours, October 2i.-It is positively con-
tradicted by the government that Beyer's
visit to the King related to the capitulation
of Metz. BaZaine's object was to get per-
mission to remove the wounded, invalids and
children for hurnanity's sake; which request
was refused.
Gambetta urges strong measures against
political persons agitating Lyons, Rouen,
Tours and other places. He says, at the
present time, such persons are dangerous
enemies and traitors, and should be treated
as such. Other members of the govern
ment are more timid, for fear of cdmpro-
missing republican principles.
Preparations are completed for the re
moval of the government southwark at u

Friendship of Woman.

1t is wondrous advantage to man, in
every pursuit or vocation, to secure an add
wiser i'll sensible woman. In woman
there is at once subtle delicacy Of tact and
plain soundness of Judgment which are
rarely combined to an equal degree in man.
A woman, if she be really your friend, will
have sensitive regard for your character
honor and repute. She will seldom coun-
sci you to do shabby things; for a woman
friend always desires to be proud of you
At the same time her constitutional timid-
ity makes her more cautious than your
male friend. She therefore seldom coun-
sells you to do an imprudent thing. A
mans best female friend is wife of good
sense and heart whom he loves, and who
loves him. But supposing the man to be
without such helpmate, female friend
ship he must love, or his intellect will be
without a garden, and there will be many
an UNDECIDED gap even in its strongest
fence.

What Breaks Down Young Men.

1t is a commonly received notion that
hard study is the unhealthy element Of col
lege life. But from tables of the mortality
of Harvard Universary, collected by Pro-
fessor Pierce, from the last triennial cata-
logue, it is clearly demonstrated that the
excess of death for the first ten years after
graduation is found in that portion of each
class Of inferior scholarship. Every one
whs has seen the curriculum knows that
where Eschylus and political economy
injure one, late hours and rum punches use
up dozen; and that the two little fingers
are heavier than the lion of Euclid.
Dissipation is a sure destroyer, and every
young man who follows it is, as the early
flower; exposed to untimely frost. Those
who have been inveigled in the path of vice
are named Legion. A few hours sleep
each night, high living. and plety of
" smashes," make war upon every function
of the body. The brain, the heart, the
lungs, the liver, the spine, the limbs the
bones the flesh; every part and faculty are
overtasked and weakened by the terrific
energy of passion loosened from restraint,
until, like dilapidatcd mansions, the "earth-
ly house Of this tabernacle falls into
ruineus decay. Fast young men right
about.

Written on viewing Turkey Point. from a
distance, during an excursion, last 4th of
July:
Thou gray old cliff, like turret raised on
high,
With lighthouse mingling with the sum
mer sky,
How long ia lonely grandeur hast thou stood,
Drawing alike the wild winds and the food.
What bowling gales have swept those shores
along,
What tempests dire have piped their dis
NAL song,
And lightnings glared those towering trees
among?
And oft, as now. the summer sun has shed
His golden glories round thy mountlin head,
And tarried there with late and lingering
hues,
While all below was stepped i'll twilight
dews.
And nights proud queen, in ages past, as
now,
Hung her pale crescent DER thy beetling
Soft lamp-that lights the happy to their
rest,
But wakes fresh anguish in the hapless
breast,
And calls it forth a restless ghost, to glide
In lonely sadness up the mountain side;
And couldst not thou, oh! giant of the past,
Some far off knowledge DER my senses
cast,
Sigh in the hollow meanings of the gale.
And of past ages tell mysterious tale
Speak of those ages OF primeval worth,
And all the hidden wonders of thy birth
Commissions strange that heaved thy mighty
breast,
And raised the stately masses of thy crest?
Perchance the Indian climbed thy rugged
side,
Ere the pale foe subdued his warlike pride,
And bent him down to kneel. to serve, to
toll,
To alien shrines upon his native soil.
1t needs not thee, o Mount. to tell the
story
That stained the wreath of many hero's
glory;
But Natures mysteries must ever rest
Within the gloomy confines of thy breast
Where wealth, uncounted hapless lies
concealed,
Locked in thine inmsst temples-unrevcaled.

BY ELIZABETH AKERS.

The time for toll has past, and night has
come.
The last and saddest Of the harvest ewes:
Worn out with labor long and wearisome,
Dropping and faint. the reapers hasten
home,
Each laden with his sheaves.
Last of the laborers. thy feet | gain,
Lord of the harvest. and my spirit grieves
That | am burdened not 50 much with
grain
As with a heaviness of heart and brain;
Master, behold my sheaves.
Few, light and worthless-yet their tritiine
weight
Through all my frame weary aching
leaves:
For long struggled with my hapless fate,
And stayed and toiled till it was dark and
Yet these are all my sheaves.
Full well know | have more tares than
Brambles and flowers, dry stalks and
withered leaves,
Wherefore l blush and weep, as at thy feet
kneel down reverently and repeat,
Master behold my sheaves.''
l know these blossoms clustering heavily
With evening dew upon their folded
leaves,
Can claim no value nor utility
Therefore shall fragrance and beauty he
The glory of my sheaves.
So do gather strength and hope anew;
Full well know thy patient love perceives
Not what | did, but what l streve to do
And though the full ripe ears be sadly few,
Thou wilt accept my sheaves!

There are large number of pulf-adders
in one case; and Guinea pig being intro
duced, began shifting about as usual: but
though he was touching one Of the reptiles,
1t did not seem disposed to strike. when
Suddenly another puff-adder darted at full
length from an opposite cornor, and, strik-
ing the creature, remained with its fangs
apparently buried in its flesh, contrary. we
believe, TO the usual habit of the reptile
His intention was perhaps to prevent any
of the others from devouriRg it.
There are specimens of the two species of
cobras, the Indian and Egyptian: perhaps
the most interesting of all serpants: but
on account of their excitable nature, it has
been found necessary to hide them partially
from view by filling the lower half of the
case front with ground glass, SO that it is
not easy to observe them.
The appearance of the cobra when about
to give the fatal stroke is graceful, and yet
terrible to see. The inflated hood, the
waving motion of the head, and the pecu-
liar expression of the eye, combine to inn
plcSS lhS ouSCl'Si VI llS vi
the deadly power which it possesses, and
with which it threatens any living creature
that dares approach it. Nenomous serpents
can generally be distinguished by the broad
head and stumpy tail which they possess;
but this rule does not always hold good,
some of them. for example the cobras, hay
ing a structure closely resembling that of
the colubrines, with the exception of the
fangs and organs pertaining to them
There are in this house some young
alligators, which are kept with the
water tortoises. They seem to pass their
time generally in sleep, but when feeding
time comes are extremely alert. On some
mice being thrown into the water the ALI
gators pursued them, swimming with the
mouth raised out of the water. Having
seized the unfortunate mice, they held them
under the surface till drewned, and then
tossing them into the gullet, bolted them
whole. The tortoises are not fed with live
animals, but with raw meat. which they
tear in mouthfuls under the water. Con
siderine the number of species which exist,
the collection seems deficient in the
Chelonia; but with regard to the Saaria
and Ophidia it is probably unequaled.
