BEAUTIFUL THoUeHT.-Eare is one ol
the very many beautiful thoughts Fanny
Forester has given expression too,
let me die inthe country, where lshalln not
fall like the single leaf unheeded; where
those that love me, need not mask their
hearts 10 meet the careless multitude, and
strive as duty to forget me!


Bury me in the country amid the
prayers of the good, and the tears of the
loving; not in the damp, dark vault; away
from the sweet air and the cheerful sun
shine; but in the open fields, among the
flowers, that ! love and cherish while
living"

No STATE OF SUPERIOR. THE project
of forming new State out of portions of
Wisconsin and Michigan does not meet
with much favor in the latter, according
TO the Detroit Tribune. 1t states that
last winter resolution favorable 10 the

the only reason it did so was because it
was looked upon as mere idle PROPOSE,

Loving AND OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
genial hearted writer remarked that when
Titbonus asked for an eternal life in the
body, and found 10 his sorrow that i'm
mortal youth was not included in the
bargain, it surely J was because he for
got TO ask the perpetual gift of loving and
syPathizing. Truly human heart can
never grow old lift takes lively interest
in the joys and sorrows of others. What
blights its blossoms is selfshness and a
reluctance to promote the happiness Of
other hearts. You can make that group
of young people happy by cheerful look
and pleasant word;-you can make the
heart of that old man leap like the
heart of the child, by kindness. Re-
member The secret of a snnshiny old age
is loving and sympathizing-the power ol
giving as well as receiving Joy.

CRANES DAM, Aug. II 1859.


Ed EIiPlRE We came here Tuesday
last and have been fishing eyer since, and
for the heneft of those who fish for large
bass we would say that here is the place
where they hold out golden prospects if you
will only hold out yout line The bass are
large, bite readily and there is no scarcity
of good bait South of this though for some
distance the angler is routed by the lawless'
ness of many of the riprorian proprietors
land others who take the liberty of sein-
ing the river every few days, the fish law
seems to be totally disgarded here and il is
more difficult to find an informer than one
who does not recognize the seiners right
Several of the fish we caught outweighed
Bob McCormick's 8 FOUNDER, besides which
very many smaller ones were taken.


We pitched our tent upon green island
beneath the outrageous bougbs of viii.
tened sycamore, in the immediate vicinity,
of a corn field where plenty Of roasting sess
are to be had, and near the house of some
very clever people who kindly loaned us
things we had forgotten to bring along, and
furnished us with cream for our coffee.


We are under very many obligations to
you for the Empire, for rest assured it comes
as a thrice welcome guest to be read after
fishing all day. Tomorrow morning at four
We expect to be ex-Isled from where we
have spent the last few days so pleasantly,
breathing the fresh country air, exposed to
plenty of sunshine, living upon ''ths fat Of

ever slept Notwithstanding the desperate

During Piccolomini's late sojourn at the
Spencer House, in this city, the following
incident occurred through mistake, as
natural as il must have been agreeable.


A young gentleman, residing in the
northern part of this State, received let.
ter last week, from his sister. who had been
attending school in Kentucky stating that
she would be on certain day at the Spen.
Ger House, where two friends others were
going, and that she would look for him to
arrive in good season and accompany her
home.


The brother Alfred, camo at once, for

years, having passed much Of that time
in New York, and on arriving at the hotel
asked for Miss--and the number of her
room. Hoping to surprise her agreeably
he thought he would 60 up unannounced
having learned the door and the position
OF the apartment,


Just before he reached the room he saw
his sister, as he supposed, coming out
She was small and plump, as when he saw
her last, and he thought he would conceal
himself behind the wall of the hall until
she came opposite. He did SO, and in
another moment pair of little feet were
falling in pedal music upon the floor. She
was within reach Of him. II was she, Of
course, he thought, although the gathering
shadows Of the evening rendered objects
somewhat indistinct. That little head
with dark tresses. and humming of an air

so he extended his arms, and clasping
the diminutive figure before him, and ben.
ding down and imprinting three or four
cordial kisses on one Of the most delicious
of mouths, be asked Don't you know
your brother, yon little rcgue2


The " little rogue" looked blank with
amazement. and then, muttering something
very sweet but not ineligible, slipped out
of his half enclasping arms, and retreated
in the direction she had come.


Alfred now saw he must have made q
mistake and, as no one appeared, ht
went to the senior proprietor, to explain
the awkward position in which he had beer
placed, having no desire to be compelled
to be shot at, or he shot by, some gcauia
