Oh, not Ike ours that lie NJ born,
No mortal mother Shelley knew, --,- .-
But kndled by some starry morn.
Lit like snowflake from the blue:
say on some peak the lightning CLEAN,
Then foamuke on leaping 6fream
Sped downward to the earthly day.
So keen wish had winged his flight
,, MS heart was faint with such desire
TO bear from that supernal light
A Promethean fount Of fire;
His quivering thyrsus flashed with flame,
He sang the spell long learnt above;
With ardent eyes one only name
he named; the mountains echoed "Lovel''
But ali for men no healing wrought
That spell, that spirits angel bloom;
Close, close about him frowned and fought
,, rneas words Of anger, looks Of gloom; - -
OF sitting custom, hates that kill,
From Earth's dark places sighed in vain
Her old immedicable III.
"And yet methinks one soul might know
The bliss unknown, the tale untold!
One heart might melt in NINE and go
For twain at least the age be goldi'
He called-and ali! what mortal maid
Had heard unmoved that seraph tongue?
What Daphne fingered In her shade
; When that unstained Apollo sung - @s~
But oft In vain shall love be given
When might spirits mourn alone;
Too rarely, rarely fails from heaven
A woman-heart to match their own;
He saw his vision smile in sleep,
And close she seemed, and doated far:
Lifelong across LIES darkling deep
he chased that image Of . star.
Yet, with an Orphic whisper blent.
A Spirit in the west wind sighs;
Gaze from the conscious armament
Some gods unbelievable eyes:
He saw, he felt them: s'Thou be mine
As am thine, thou primal whole!
Ye elements, my life enshrine,
Enfold, entomb me, soul in soull"
he called; they heard him; high in air
The impetuous Winds came whirling free;
Dashed on his brow, swept through his hair
Untamed caresses of the Sea;
The fire up-leapt in ardent birth
To her thin substance his to win;
That heart of hearts the dadal Earth,
Her own unfolding, drew therein.

A Sentimental Blaze,

The son of well-to-do farmer. who
formerly resided in one of the western
towns Of Otsego county, tells the follow
ing rather good story Of the fire that has
burned continuously for forty-seven
years upon his hearth-stone: In the
month of January, 1881, on cold win
ter's night, he was sitting by q bright,
warm fire which was burning in the Old
fashioned fireplace. The hired girl was
watching the cherry blaze with him, and
during their conversation she spoke of
the cold night and how pleasant it was to
have good fire to sit by, and remarked
that she hoped she would always have
one to enjoy. The farmers son said to
her: "That light will always shine, and
will grow brighter every day." Time
passed smoothly with him and the hired
girl until the winter of 1883, when they
were married. Upon conducting his
bride to her new home for the first time,
he Endled O fire on the hearth stone.
and throughout all these forty seven
years of their married life he has never
allowed it to go out. Naturally he has
formed strong attachment for this fire.
It is, he says, q constant reminder to him

children have grown to manhood and
womanhood, and his grandchildren have
gazed into it's light, as has also one great
grandchild. It was the last light that
fell upon the eyes of two of his children
who have crossed the river to that bourne
whence no traveller returns, and he hopes
that it will be the last light that will fall
upon the eyes Of himself and his COM
panion when they shall be called to the

Finding Drowned People.
From tho Pail Mali aazette.1

"An Old Folk-Lorist" writes: The
remarkable incident of the discovery of
the body of child drowned in the
River Kennel, at Newberry, in 1867, by
means of two penny loaf with a guam
tity of quicksilver put into the it, was
quoted by one of your contemporaries
some twenty years ago; and then elected
many curious proofs of the existence OF
similar practices with analogous success
full results, and with-what is not always
the case-a satisfactory explanation of
the phenomenon. Sir James Alexander,
in his account Of Canada, after stating
that the Indians believe that drowned
body may be discovered by floating a
piece of cedar wood, which will stop and
turn around over the exact spot, men
tions an instance which occurred within
his own knowledge, where the body Of a
person who was drowned by the over
setting of his boat, near Cedar island,
"could not be discovered until this ex-
pertinent was resOrted to-"
But something more remarkable was
stated by an eminent clergyman, happily
still living, who mentioned that, many
years before, boy who had lately come
to Elton imprudently bathed in the
Thames where it flows with great rapid
ity under "the playing fields" and was
carried out Of his depth and drowned.
All efforts to recover the body failed till
one of the masters threw cricket-bat
into the stream, which foated to spot
where it turned round in an eddy hole.
under which the boy was found. There
were, I think, other instances, but these
elected from some intelligent correspon-
dent the simple and natural explanation
Of the phenomenon. These are in all
running streams deep pools, formed by
eddies, in which drowned bodies are
likely to be caught and retained. Any
light substance thrown into the stream
would naturally be drawn to the surface
OF the river over the center of the eddy
hole.

Republican Office, aid James Bradford,

Esq, ID counsel for Mr.. Grubb.
The grounds for the libel are about as
follows: On Thursday evening, April
LIST, Mr.. Grubb took q horse back ride,
and on returning was about driving bis
horse into the Washington street club
stables, when the animal slipped, throw
ing Mr., Grubb n the ground, and the
corner Of cobble- stone struck him un-

and become fearfully discolored all
around the eye.
Mr.. Grubb at once had his injury
attended to by DIR. J. A. Draper, and
on the following night, after 10 o'clock
he again called on DIR. Draper, TO have
the wound looked at. The physician
advised him to apply a piece of raw

HOW THE SCHEME Is SPOKEN OF BY
PHILADELPHIA BAILRoAD MEN,. I 4
In relation to the proposed new rail-
road between Philadelphia and Baiti-
more, the Philadelphia Times says:
"President Gowen, Of the Reading
Railroad, says: ave know nothing
about II, and have no interest In any
shape At tssakeby the constitution ofsucb
q road.H e
Captain Green. assistant to the
president of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, says that the officers Of that CON-
pany have heard nothing Of the report
ed scheme except In vague way"
president Hickey, Of he Pbiladel-
phia. Wilmington and Baltimore Rail
road, has "no positive knowledge Dt the
intended construction OF new line, ex-
cept In The fact that nm act bad passed
the Maryland Legislature eniarging the
powers or the Baltimore and ohio Rail
road" And as to this, he continues:
"A rumor has reach me that the legis,a-
tion has been deemed unconstitutional.
In addition TO this, before ground could
be broken In the State Of Dolaware %
construct new road the consent Of he
LeHibl1luFt Of tuht otatt WOulu De NEG
essary, and that body will not meet until
next December. Beyond this there
would seem 10 be insHrmount tabie diff
ficulties IN the way Of gainirg passage
through the city OF Philadelphia, as our
Park is already sufficiently occupied by
railroads, any the G. mmission would
hardly grant leave for and further cramp-
ing ofthe space now ieft them.'" '1l
President Hinckley's idea that the
consent of the Delaware Legislature
will have to be obtained before ground
can be broken for the new road In this
State, is probably erroneous. 1t is a
fact beyond cavil that the new road,
If constructed At all, will use the Della
ware Western Railroad as a medium
for passing through Delaware, and the
charter of the latter company gives It
power to construct, in addition to its
regular line, ''such other lateral roads
or branches or extensions, not exceed
ing eight miles in length, as occasion
may require" This '.roving commits
sion" within radius of eight miles
will enable the Delaware Western to
construct the new road from the Mary
land line to the Pennsylvania line, in
most any direction, without any furlh-
er legislation.
