penetrating through the layers, large
geole or hollow space was discovered, ex-
tending many yards horizontally, but only

and r. mute explorations in different caves
in IN and other states, have never met

(NOTE b.
Much has been said of late, Of another
Cave that has been discovered withis two
years, in the immediate vicinity of Wey-
cr's. 4 few words respecting il may not
be uninterestng. You gain admittance
by long flight OF steps, and Immediately
ind yourself in large apartment, the
first view of which, (under the circum-
stances in which first saw it-by the
light Of several hundred candles,) is very
imposing.
Pillars and enormous pendent stalactites
impart an air Of wildness and irregularity
to the scene, that is not observable In the
other Cave. There are few narrow pass
ages the cavern seems TO be comprised
in one immense room, its floor however
being so uneven and rugged, and the view
so much curtailed by pillars and stalsc-
tites that extend nearly to the floor, that
the effect which otherwise would be pro-
duced by its vastness, is very sensibly d.
minished. have not space to describe
this cave more infinitely, but will briefly
give my impressions Of the comparative
merits Of these rival claimants Of our ad-
miraton. We are Immediately struck
with astonishment and pleasure, at the
general view that is presented to us in
Vests Cave, as long as we look at it at
little distance-but our emotions are not
very varied and when we examine close
~ the objects of our admiration, our emo
tions subside, for their beauty is gone.
As we enter Weyer's Cave, we are not
transported with those violent emotions,
but as we proceed, new and richer beauties
rise successiyely before US, and our feel
iugs rise with them, until they reach an
almost painful degree of intenseness, nor
Is the effect lessened by the most minute
examination Of the objects of our admira-
ton. Weast's Cave richly deserves q
visit from all who love to contemplate
the works Of Nature, but in variety, in
beauty, aud in general effect, it must yield
the palm 20 Weyer's.

If leave aer long in the garder
alone, she will be sure to get into mis-
Chief Alice muttered, aud giving I
last look at the baby, went quickly
from the room.
In the garden she searched vainly
for Dolly; nowhere was the CHILD to be
seen.
After running to and fro, calling hel
name in frightened accents, Alice came
suddenly to the open gate, and suspic-
ion of the truth flashed across her
mind.
She has gonel Oh. what dreadful
child! And I shall be blamed! she
cried, wring.ng her hands distractelly
together.
Urged on by wild despair the poor
girl hurried up the long white road
trying to find some trace, if ever SO
slight, of Dolly.
But nothing met her view, so with a
quaking heart Alice returned to the
house, aud broke the truth to Mrs. Ell
vim.
That lady, without stopping to scold
the maid for her carelessness in letting
Dolly go in the garden alone, hurried
off toward the town.
There she demanded eagerly if the
child had been seen, and was relieved
to hear that Dolly had passed not long
since, many having remarked the pref
ty little mite wandering about alone.
Shop after shop she visited, but with
out success: all denied having seen
Dolly.
Even Mrs. Lee, though remorseful
at sight of the grief-stricken mother,
stur,lily declares, that she had not OBJ
served any child pass her window.
Mrs Elvin knew not what to do, the
police were searching diligently from
place to place, but all their efforts to
find the child were unavaliing. Al
last, full of agony, Mrs. Elvin was
obliged to return to her home, there to
pass night of wakeful despair, wait
ing until the morning dawned to re"
commence her search.
Early thu next day, she went once
more to the town, but found no sign
Dolly had been discovered.
Presently, h,"eyer, a passerby, qne'-
toned by the c s,r mother, remem ber-
ed having laSr zen the little girl enter
the confetti ,l,rs, and thither Mrs.
Elvin fastened
Aglin Mrs lee declared her igno-
rance of Dolly whereabouts, but some
thing IN the wo mans agitated ways
and expression Of fear reused sudden
suspicion in Mrs Elvin's mind.
Are you quite sure you have not
seen my child? She WAS here last, so
you must have noticed her.
Indeed | I'd not So many chill
dren wander up and down before my
window that il would be impossible for
me to remarN one specially.
oh, DolIy-Dolly, where can you
be- Mrs. Elylu cried, in sudden pas
sionate anguish.
'Mamma-mamma Dolly is here!-
Don't you see?' Il shrill, childish voice
said gleefully, and the next moment,
to Mrs. Elvin's delight and Mrs. Lee
intense dlsmay, Dolly, radiant as a
sunbeam, emerged from the room
where she had been confined, and
into her mothers outstretched arms.
Too happy AT he recovery of her
darling to be angry, Mrs. Eivin par
doned the baker, wife for deceit; but
never again will Dolly stray from her
home, she is too carefully guarded,
both by Alice and her loving mother.

THE DEAD MARCH.

Play me march low-toned and slow, "a march
for a silent tread,
Fit for the wandering feet of one who dreams
of the silent dead,
Lonely-between the bones below and the
souls that are overhead.
Here for awhile they smiled and sang, alive
in the interspace;
Here with the grass beneath the feet and the
stars above the face,
Now are their feet beneath the grass, and
whittier has flown their gracei
Who shall assure us whence they come, or
tell us the way they got
Verify life with them was Joy, and now they
have left us, wool
Once they were not, and now they are not;
and this is thasnm we know.
How shall we deem the soldier brave who
frets OF his wounds and scarsl
Are we as senseless brutes that we should
dash at the wellseen barsl
No, we are here with feet unfxed, but ever
as if with lead
Drawn from the orbs which shine above to
the orb on which we tread.
Down to the dust from which we came and
with which we shall mingle, dead
No, we are here to wait, and work, and
strain our banshed eyes.
Weary and sick of soil and toll, and hungry.
and fain for skies
Far from the reach of wingless men and not
to be scaled with cries.
No, we are here to bend our necks to the yoke
of tyrant Time;
Welcoming all the gifts he gives us-glories
of youth and prime;
Patiently watching them all depart as our
heads grow white as rime.
Why do we mourn the days that go, for the
same sun shines on each dayi
Ever spring her primrose hath, and ever
May her May;
Sweet as the rose that died last year Is the
rose that is born to-day.
Do we not, too, return, we men, rs ever the
round earth whirlsl
Never a head is dimmed with gray, but an
other is summed with curls.
She was girl and he was a boy, but yet
there are boys and girls.
All, but alas for the smile of smiles that
never but one face worel
All, for the voice that has flown away like a
bird to an unseen shorel
All, for the face the flower Of flowers, that
blossoms on earth no more.

A Rope Of Refuge.

''When was captured before Peters

was first taken to Libby Prison. The
prison was crowded, and the day after
was placed in it l was told that we were
all to be searched for valuables. I had
$500 in my pocket, and was thinking
with little pleasure that this would soon
goto swell the Confederate purse, when l
noticed a man in a corner with his back
to the crowd busy at some mysterious
work. stole up to him, and glancing
over his shoulder saw that he was rolling
up greenbacks into small cylinders
'Hullop said, what are you doingP 4
amt doing nothing he replied, gruflly,
looking at me suspiciously. But saw he
had a rope in his hand which was larger
at one end than at the other. Don't tell

and I'll give you $5 to get me rope to
tie round my waist 'Greenbacksp = said
the sentry, and in few minutes brought
me one. took it to my friend, and in
two hours he had plated my $500 into
the rope so sl1ilfully that no one could
see a ray of a bill. Soon after we were
stripped and searched. When my clothes
were returned the rope was not noticed.
MY good friends said to the soldier in
charge, Il have broken my suspenders,
and have nothing but that old rope to
tie around my waist; will you not pick
it up for mef' Take your old rope, you
Yank, said the Confederate. i've no
doubt you have a right to it only you
ought to wear it higher up than your
waist, as many better man has done.
He tossed me the rope, and | tied it
round my waist My friend, who was a
sailor, got his rope back safely, and the
next day escaped. My own rope after
ward saved my life and that of a Bosto-
nian named Curtis. n-NoW YOr6 Star.
