. The Golden Sunset.
BY SAMUEL LONGFELKOW

The golden sea it's mirror spreads
Beneath the golden skies,
And but narrow strip between
OF land and shadow lies.
The cloud-like rocks, the rock-like clouds.
Dissolved in glory float,
And, midway Of the radiant flood
Hangs silently the boat.
The sea is but another sky,
The sky sea as well,
And which is earth, and which the heavens
The eye can scarcely tell
So when our LIES evening hour
Soft passing shall descend,
May glory born of earth and heaven,
The earth and heavens blend.
Flooded with peace the spirit float
With silent rapture glow,
Till where earth ends and heaven begins
The eoul shall scarcely know.

In a Churchyard.
BY WILLIAM WINTER.

The lonesome wind OF autumn grleves:
The northern lights are seen;
October sheds her changing leaves
Upon the churchyard green,
Where, sitting pensive in the sun,
While fading grasses wave,
watch the crickets leap and run
Upon strangers grave.
There is no sigh of f1uttering leaf,
No sob of rustling grass;
The breezes DER this place of grief
In breathless whispers pass:
Yet, like a murmur in a dream,
Purls on that insect voice
That vacant tone which does not seem
To mourn or to rejoice.
A tone that hath no soothing grace,
A tone hat nothing saith,
A tone that's like this solemn place
Of memory, tears, and death
1t darkens hope, it deepens gloom,
Black fear, and doubt profound;
Turning the silence of the tomb
To more mysterious sound.
There's night upon the face of fame;
There's night on beauty's eyes;
Nor pure renown nor glorious shame
From out their ashes rise.
In vain the shrines of prayer are trod;
Nor sound nor silence breathe
The thought that flowers upon this sod,
The secret hid beneath.
v.
All, strangely sad, forlorn, and drear
This nameless strangers sleep
Ger which the slowly dying year
Is all that seems to weep!
God help him, in the bitter day
His heart, his reason save!
Who hears the crickets chirp, at play
Upon his darling's grave!

RECENTLY, at Allegheny City, Pa,
John and Jacob fisherman, two bu'ch-
ers, were arrested for buying pole
eviled and spawned horses, and killing
them at their slaughter-house, selling
the carcasses for meat, and making
bologna sausages from them. The
skeletons and hoofs of nineteen animals
were found on their premises. A barrel
of prepared! horsedesh was also found.
The accused were locked up.

Yosemite Trees ECliDSed.


December 80, 1873, publishes the fol-
lowing official telegram from Mr. Walter
Hill, the government botanist, dated
from Cardwell on the 9th, and receiv-
ed by the Queensland secretary for
Lands: 'Since the Goth of November
we have examined the banks of the
Mulgrave, Russell, Mossman, Daintree
and Hull rivers, and have been more or
less successfulin finding suitable land for
sugar and other tropical and semi-tropf
cal productions. The ascent of the sum.
NIT of Bellenden Kerr was successfully
made by tombstone, Hill, and eight
troopers. At $500 feet in height we
observed an undescribed tree, with
crimson flowers, which excels the Poin-
ciana regia and the Jacaranda mimosi-
folia. At 400 tree fern, which will
excel in grandeur all others of the Ar
boreous class. A palm tree at the same
height that will rival any of the British
India species in gracefulness. On the
banks of the Daintree we saw palm
tree cocoa, which far exceeds the unique
specimen in the garden of the same
genera from Brazil in grandeur and
gracefulness. While cutting a given
line on the banks of the river tombstone,
for the purpose Of examining the land,
an enormous fig tree stood in the way,
far exceeding in stoutness and grandeur
the renowned forest giants of California
and Victoria. Three feet from ona
ground it measured $50 feet in circum-
ference; at fifty feet, where it sent forth
.gian t branches, the stem was nearly
eighty feet in circumference. The river
tombstone, within limited distance of
the coast, offers the first and best in
ducements to sugar cultivation"
Presence of Mind.
Prof. Wilder gives these short rules
for action in case of accident: For dust
in the eyes, avoid rubbing, dash water
into them; remove cinders, ETC., with
the round point Of lead pencil. Re-
move insects from the ear by tepid wa
ter; never put hard instrument into
the ear. If all artery is cut, compress
above the wound; if a vein is cut. COM
press below. IF choked, get upon all
tours, and cough. For light burns, dip
the part in cold water; il the skin is de-
stroyed, cover with varnish. Smother a
fire with carpets, etc.; water will often
spread burning oil, and increase the
danger. Before passing through smoke
take full breath, and then stoop low,
but if carbon is suspected, then walk
erect. Suck poison wounds, unless your
mouth is sore. Enlarge the wound, or,
better, cut out the part without delay.
Hold the wound as long as can be borne
to hot coal, or end of cigar. Incase
of poisoning, excite vomiting by tickling
the throat, or by water or mustard.
For acid poisons, give acids; in case of
opium poisoning, give strong coffee, and
keep moving. If in water, float on the
back, with the nose and mouth project
ing. For apoplexy, raise the head and
body; for fainting, lay the person fiat.

SIN my hand no price [ bring;
Simply to thy cross telling"

In the centre of the grounds is the
remnant OF an old arbor, around which
the ivy is clinging as if to keep it from
falling to the earth. When contempla-
ting this silent city Of the dead in the
calm of that bright October afternoon,
while not sound disturbed the solemn
stiffness, save the chipping Of the little
birds that flew from tree to tree, could
not help passing in review the eyentful
life of the old hero whose remains were
muldeored in the vault before me, and
thinking how evanescent, after all, is
human glory, and how forgetful are the
living Of the memories of the dead. S.

FIRE.-About one o'clock yesterday (Tues-
day. morning. the frame store occupied by 0.
p. Thatcher, satsthc corner of Main and Cor
yell streets, in this city, was discovered to be
on fire. As the flames were confined princi-
pally to the inside of the building and no light
was observable at a distance, many thought it
was false alarm and the firemen were slow in
getting. together. A great deal of wisdom was
shown in preventing the opening of the win
dows and doors, and the fire was thus pre-
vented from gaining draft Soon the en-
cines got to work, and the fire was speedily put
out. The ''Union got the first water.
The building belonged to Mr.. Chas. 5.
Emack, and is only slightly damaged. The
store goods Of Mr.. Thatcher are seriously
damaged by fire, smoke and water, and the
loss will amount to considerable. His stock
was insured in the Hartford Co. The amount
of damage cannot be ascertained until the
agent of the company has made an examina-
ton.
The fire originated iii the southeast corner
of the store near the place where the matches
were kept. tits supposed. that match may
have dropped on the floor and been ignited by
the gnawing Of rats or mice which infest the
building.
Chief Engineer Candy and Chief of Police
Holcombe deserve praise for their efforts to
protect the property during the fire. BY
preventing miscellaneous crowd from enter
ing the store, a good deal of damage to the
property was prevented, and all possibility OF
pilfering on che part of any one evil disposed,
was removed.
1t is not often that our firemen work with
such Judgment and freedomffron excitement
as on this occasion. The window-smashers
and door-breakers were kept in subsection,
and only sufficient water was thrown to put
out the flames. This forethought prevented
in all probability big fire and very serious
loss.

SURPRISE PARTY. Tho members OF the
Fleet Wing Hook and Ladder Co., at the
close Of the regular meeting ON Friday even
ing last, proceeded in body to the house of
Mr.. Chas. IL. W. Vanscivcr, the object being
to surprise Mrs. Vansciver with a neat testi-
monial in the shape of silver napkin ring,
salt cellar and pepper box.combined. Col.
Angel, on behalf of the company, made the
presentation speech. He said that ever since
the company had been giving entertainments
Mrs. V. had assisted to II very great extent in
making costumes for many of the members,
rs well as for Mr.. ", and although she might
never nave been conscious of the fact, yet,
these costumes had helped to make success
OF the entertainments. He asked her to ac-
cept the testimonial as pledge of their es-
TEEN and respect Mrs. Vansciver thanked
the company for their kind remembrance of
her services, and in a few moments invited the
gentlemen to q splendid cup of coffee and
some good cake, to which they all did ample
justice. Mrs. Vansciyer's services in costume
making have been of great value to the mem
bers of the company.
After leaving Mr.. Yansciver's, the company
proceeded, headed by the President, to the
house of Col a. W. Angel. and surprised
him by asking him into his own home, where
Mr.. G. IL. w. Yansciver, on behalf of the
company, presented the colonel with badge
of the 18th Rcgt.. N. G. 8. N. J. 1t consists
of gold top piece and pin, to which is at
tachcd q red, white and blue " satin band,
pendant to which is gold Maltese cross
shaped medal, with the initials Of the name
of the regiment, etc. These badges are very
handsome, and were gotten up for the Regi-
ment by Mr. JOS Lewis, of this city.
Col. Angel has always been u leading per-
former at the ssParlor Entertainments and
has always been, as Mr.. Vansciver remarked,
one Of his main supports, and deserved at the
hands Of the company this small knowledge
ment of his services. The colonel responded
in happy manner, and pledged. his services
in the future as in the past. Quite an ir-
tercsting time was enjoyed partaking of
refreshments, and speeches were made by Mr.
Harry Barber, Mr. VIM Titus, DR.. i. N.
Severns, Mr. A. G. Gandy and others, and
several new projects were spoken of which
will receive due notice hereafter.
While the company acknowledge the
services Of Col. Angel in this manner they al
SO feel indebted to all persons who have as
sisted them, and they will express themselves
in some substantial manner as time and cir
cumstances viii permit.
