CHANGE AND THE CHANGELESS.
The eye that sparkles with a flash cf mirth,
Is quenched ere long in swelling streams of sorrow
Tears flood the source where laughter had its birth
To-day we smile—we irelt in woe to merrow.
The traits and lineaments wc h Id ro dear,
Harden and stiffen n a inaibie slumber;
We look our last upon the f; neral gear,
And add one sleeper to a couu lews nnmber.
Bu* Icve is changeless in the changeless soul,
T;tough born on and reared in homes ths
perish ;
Buoyed on the wings of ages as they roll,
It clings to memories it was wont to cherish.
Amidst the glcries of yon radiant skies,
Transplanted thither from its rAbrtal dwelling,
I: dreimv cf those for whom in fleshly guise,
With tenderest thoughts its faithful breast wa
swelling.
Oh ! fondly nurture in thv heart of heartt,
The precious whose produce -btoesoms ever .
Anti a hen ths spirit from the bodr pa its,
Life’s sasred ties e en death will fail to sever.
KINDNESS—ITS RESULTS.
A little spring has lost its way
Amid the grass nnd fern ;
A passing stranger eecoped a well,
Where/reary men might turn;
He walled it in, and hung with car®,
A ladle at the brink ;
He thought not of the <Ded he did,
Bat judged that toil might drink,
He reseed aga’n—and !o! the well.
By summers never dried
Had cooled ten ihou?aud pwching tongues,
/nd saved a life beside.
The Rainy Day.—ur h. w. loxgfkllow.
The day is fold, ard dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary ;
The vine still icings to the mouldering wall,
But at every gus; the dead leaves fall,
And the day ii dark and dreary.
My life ‘8 cold, end dark, and dreary ;
It rains, and the wind is never weary ;
My thought' still ciirg to the moulder ng past,
But the hopes of you«h fall thick in the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still, sad heart I and cease refining;
Behind th? clouds is ths sun still shining;
Thy fate ‘s the common fate of all,
Into each 'j'e some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.
The Knickerbocker of October says the following
is from the pen of an old and genial friend, wh docs
just as he describes ;
Toil not for fame, nor a name.
Strive net for weal h nor tower;
Whoso cli gs to these faithleoS things,
Is cheated every Lour.
I’d impend .ny life away from strife,
With my wife and children dear;
I’d have a cot in a sheltered spot,
And a pleasant ceightor near.
I’d work each day in a quiet way;
I would read ard write, and talk;
And I’d sometimes ride by the river’s side,
Or er jay an evening wa!k.
I’d do what good s.ie’cr I could,
Regard ess of prake or blame ;
Ard when at hst my days are past,
Have my children do the same.
PAST THE HOUR~Br"ciTir E9 Swaiw
Sure I’ve sought the gates so long,
E’en the hedges know me;
Birds laugh at me in theirsong—
Streams reflect and chow me!
Not a flutter that smiles so sweet
Seems rny griel to soften ;
E’en the meadow hates my feet,
I’ve been there so often ;
But if e’verl pass this w ay—-
Meet her on a futu'e dav—
May I—hush ! yet s ay I
Don’t I hear her coming?
Coming?—no, ’twaa but the trees—
Night and st'rm are coming ;

All that’s true, f>hc’d meet mo?
And’tls thus she wrongs my trust,
And ’ns thus she’d cheat me!
But if e’ver again I’m c .st
In such meshes as the past,

Chatter I.— The Hao of the Story, n
Night closed around tne fi?ld of Agincourt.
Sir Hildebrand Hcllytisplit, who had been watch
ing its appioach for an hour, from a neighboring .
hill, with a spy gla*s, turned hi’horse’s head 1
towards his quarters with a sad heart; for the e
day had been destructive to horse fl«sh, and °
thousands of the French and Norman ehiva'ry ia
>it the mud (not due’) of Agincourt. He L
sought his tent. His brow was dark ano gloomy, gr
as could piainlr be seen through his iron helmet, ft
and an unevenness of gait, as be strode alorg,
betrayed great agitation of ;hc nervous system. 0
“Walter de Coursey Stubbs,” raid be hnarsAly
to his squire in attendance, “hang up my horse, .
and give my casque some oats and witcr. And, ,
hark ye! disturb me not until the Connecticut “
wooden horologe striketh the hour of aeving b
Now away.” I*
Sir Hilidi brand Hellytisplit slowly divested s<
himse'.f of his armor, which clanged upon the
stillness of the night like a t n kitc.'ten. and then
taking a match from his vest pocket, be lighted
a three cent regalia, and pufled away in moody
alienee. He then stretched himself upon three g
chair?, with a bundle of old newspapers under j
his head, and dropped a s'eep, and then caught a
nap. But his sleep was troublcJ. Anon he M
started, and shouted “St. Denis for France ! g
Give’em fils !” Aga.n the clammy sweat cov
erea his brow and he muttered, “Hal thrice
to day hath the brazen nose gleamed upon me c
in the battle field. Down old copperhead, v
down!’’ M
But soon his slumber grew calm, end not a '
sound disturbed the silence, save the man-at- c
arms, who sat whetting his jack knife on a brick v
in the entry, and indulging in whistling eome j
old familiar psalm tunes, as if h l a mind was t
elsewhere; for that man at arms had a heart, A« £
had. ,
Chapter IL— Braxtn Nose.
It was m dnight, within about tea minutes, 8
and Sir Hilldebiand HeUytisplit s’.ill slept. At v
this moment, a slight noise was heard at the I
doer, and bearing in his hand a tin lantern, a c
knight of gigantic size—come five feet six in t
height—in complste armor, Btrode into the tent, t
He gazed infenfiy upon ths s etper. and then in c
a suppressed voice of great argu sh, sighed out, ,
“Ah! ho! um!” and sank into a seat, like a »
looking stove. His face could not be seen, but ‘
there was a digirty about the strange knight that
betokened a genteel bringing up. which bad won 1
the respect oT the man-at-arms, who had been *
bribed by a nine} ence toadmil him to the lent,
on the p ea of special business.
His armor was of complete black, with no j
distinguishing mark, save a huge nos? ot brass, <
borne upon the casque, which glcemod in the j
light ot the lantern like a quart pot. Taking .
a pencil from ene pocket, and a card from anoit> j
er. he wrote a tew hurried lines: when wh s- j
peringtothe man at arms tor an envelope and a
wafer, he sealed lbe missive, srd deposited it
by the si !e of the sleeping Sir Hilldebrand, say- 1
ing to the admiring attendant, “No trouble, sir- 1
ran, about mailing letters here; we can mail
them with our own mailed hands, eh ? ’ it were
better he had not ulteied this, tortacman, who
h- ped tor lurther largess, laughed loudly at the
p>t asantry.
The light in the lantern disappeared, aa Sir
Hildebrand Hcllytispht awoke, and starting up
on his elbow, he cried a'o d, “Wr.at ho! witn
out thtrel What’a thunuer’e ail that no.se
about 1” The men at arm* and squires came
rushing in, rubbing their eyes. None had
the noire, and at the suggestion of Waiter de
Course-y Stubas, that hv had been awakened by
his own snoring Sir Hildebrand turned over and
went to sleep again.
“Keep shady,” was the parting word of the
stranger knight, as ho placed a quarter in the
hand of W aiter and Stroev iurth from the tent.
Mystery crowned the bou”.

Sca*cely had the wooden clock d re striking
the hour ot 7, the next morning, when A alter
de Coursey Stubbs stoedb) n’** master’s side to
awake han from ms slumber* which hcaccom
phshed by pulling one cf the chairs irom be
ncatbhi.*:). Sir Hilidcbrand lieilytispht wiped
bis eyts with his hr rd, and cumoed his
hair with his fingers, and 'hen, a? was his wont,
commenced poniehing his attendant byway or
gentle exerc.se, after w inch he proceeded to cress
mtnself in tho panoply of war. Stooping to
pit k u? one of the stove pipes that enccsed bis
k gs, Nr Hiidet rand espied the letter left by me
: stranger,lying upon the ground. He gazed up
o i the writing a;.d a mortal paleness covered his
race. Hu limbs treu.bied in every joint and
rivelt, and his tee.h, uh ch were not metallic,
shook l.ke a act of pr<»pe. He read :
“ Per/i is re ch- Y jurour is cum. Mete me
tomorrar outside the Ingiish lines, and I’d gtv

Th s was :he secret of the nocturnal no ses ;
•.brier hid he b en thus visited, and thrico had
he met. cn the muddy tkhi of Agincourt, the
K&teht of the Nose.
Sk Hiidebrtnd Hells tisj lit drank his coffee in
alienee. Aft* r which, arming himself wi:h two
•pea a battle aie, n swo*d. msce and shield
besides fi ling his belt wiih bowie knives, revoi
, sersand slung shot, he waked forth into the
r fields, in the rear of the English can p, where
he soon d.scovered the Knight of the Brazen
Nos', sitting on a rock, reading a new spaper,
who sprang to his lee land pu.lel out his sword.
The comes: was spceii-y begun and quicker
e.d/d; f.)i Sir Hi debrand hat “too many Irons
in the fire,” and he couldn’t “came indwell.
Ono blow from th’ powerful arm of him ol the
INosc, and the head ol Sir Hildebrand Heilytis
p.‘it, like an iron p t, rolled at the feet of the vic
= tor.
Utter nu a fearful cry of agony at this consum
mation, the strange knight tore ofl his helmet,
revealing beneath a head of hair like a pound of
fl<x, the fair but hal’d countenance of Judy
O’Brien the washerwoman. “ Gentlemen, ’ said
she. “he was apenurtd man, and I have aveng
ed myself upon him. He ©wed me a bill for
; wash ng, but, alas I in wiping out that scorc
; I’vc flummoxed myself. Tell this tomycoui
trywomen Never seek for vengeance; ’tis bet
ter to lorgive a little, if they lose a shilling on
the pound. Farewell.” laying which, she di«-
aopesred U" a tall tree that was near by, and
they never saw her more.
Coron r de Smythe, under the circumstances
did not think it advisable to summon a jury,
and informed Sir Hildebrand’s friends by tele
-1 graph, that tbef had better come on and look
alter his effects as he wasn’t exactly in a condi
tion to doit lor himself. A Flemish Jew bought
Sir Hildebrand Hull) tisplit’s wardrobe, after a
few keepsakes had been taken by friends, for
about the price of o ! d iron.
g Havana Ninety Years Ago.
The National Intelligencer of the 4’.h inst.
publishes the foLowing account of the taking
of Havana by the English :
A fleet, under the command of A Imiral Po
cocke, sailed from Por'.smouth on the Sth
March. 1*62, having on board ten thousand
(reu, land force, under the cornmv.o of Lord
Albemarle. This fleet was jointed near Cape
Nicola by a part of that which had been so
successfully employed against Martinique ;
tho whole, when combined, amounted to
nineteen »bipßrftbehi.% L<- «igbleen cf
inferior s xo, while the amounted
to nearly one hundred and fifty.
As it was of the almost importance to reach
heir place of destination bef're the commence
ment of the rainy season, Pococke proceeded
by a narrow passage, known by the name of
too • O d S r-tits of Jahama,” which is seldom
passed by any vessel, and never, perhaps by
a fleet of such magnitude. The length of this
channel is about seven hundred miles, and the
whole is narrow and d.flioul". Yet, such was
the confidence of the admiral that he would
have favorable weather, tha’. he entered it with
the whole fleet, nsieg the precaution, however,
to rend before him eaveral small vessels t'’
exanuue the passage as he approached. His
gooa fortane equaled his expectations, and in
nine days he passe r e straits.
Of> the sth of June they arrived before
Havana, the place cf their destination. An
attack hud not been immediately foreseen, yet 1
the place was well prepared for a vigorous 1
defence ; and the Spanish ships of war, which
were ir.lerded for the West India service, <
lay in the harbor and contt ibu ed much to
accelerate such extraordinary preparations as
were necessary. 1
Ti e enhance of the harbor, which is narrow,
i*-defended by two forts, one called Puntal on '
the side next to the town ; the other, of un- 1
comm* n strerg.b, is situated on the side '
opposite. Even the town itself ia well fart*-
fied, being surrounded by a rampart, bastions, 1
and a deep ditch. The vessels stationed in -
the harbor had been careful to render the ‘
entrance as d.fficn t as pcssiUe, by laying a
strung boom horn one aide to the other, and
sinking several ehips behind it. (
A rcaolation was formed to land the forces 1
to the eastward of the place, in order to attack 1
the Moro, the great fort, which in truth com- I
manded the whole surrounding country ; tho 1
fleet railed to the west in order to conceal f
their intention *. 1
This stratagem proceeded, and on the 7th 1
June the troops landed without opposition. 1
While the principal partef the forces under
took the siege of the Moro, the remainder (
advanced some distance into the interior to '
blockade the town and other ferts.
T.«e command of the siege was given to J
Gen Keppel, that of the blockading division
to Gen Elliott. 6
Hardly anything can be imagined more
r rduoua ‘han the siege they had just under
taken. Na ure herself seemed to preclude
every prospect of success. The soil was
so thin upon the recks that it was by no
means sufficient to cover ’he approaches.
1 hey were compelled for this purpose o
have recourse lo bags cf cotton The artille
ry was d:agg*d ever rocks to the ba'teries
where it was to be used ; a ver’ical sun ren
dered the fatigue excessive, while n) water
con'd he procured except from a distance and
tha.wasso sci*>*y that the greater part was
furnished by the fleet.
W nen all these ci'cu instances are considered,
we can hardly be surprised that many of the
•oldiers dropped dead from excel*ire fatigue.
A l these obstacles yielded to the perseverance
and activity of the Bn.ieh; nor did the enemy
show less courage in the defence. To the
number of fifteen thousand they made a bold
attempt to drive away their avaiiianti, but
were repulsed with \ lois of three hundred
aid '.he land Torcea, 'hree British ship. |
ot war joined in cannonading tl. Moro, but
wi hout making any other apparent impression
ihrn that of attract ng to themseivrs a great
part of the fire of the fort) they suffered
severely and were obliged to retire. The
chief battery which tbe British bad erected
caught lire (being of world 1 and was consum
ed : one half (ho land lorcea ud a veiy great
number of the .earuen were already sick.
To add to rh. as misfortunes, a reinforcement
which w»» expec ed from Ivorth America did
noi arrive at trie time filed upon ; and. above
al , the hurricane seaann was at no great dis
t.nca, when their fleet would be exposed to
destructive storms, and it would be impossible
to carry on their operations. At length a
supply of provision, arrived from Jamaica,
and a reinforcement so long expected from
Now York The miners t ffected a breach jn
the wall, and by ibis, though hardly practicable,
it was resolved to storm the place. I hey
according y mounted the breach, and, though
opposed with the utmost bravery by the Span
iards, they forced their way into the place.
Don Lou a Vela co, the Governor, formed a
email entrenchment around bia censors, p'acad
himsell th're with a hundred men, nor could
be be persuaded to yield till the greater part
of his brave companions had fallen : be then
with reluctance offered his sword; but befure
it cou'd be received a random shot deprived
him cf existence. On the lO.h cf August the
batteries woe ready to epan their fire on the
town, and on tbe 1 iih the British took pos
session of it.
7Ae Cic.'le’s in Alps.—Mr. C. L. Brace
whose imprisonment and adventures in Hun
gary have placed hire prominently before the
American public, within the past few months,
write as fol'owa lo the Hartford Times,iu re
gard to tbo people of the Alps:
“I suppose most of us, from F rench roman
ces, or some equally reliable eou ce, have a
vague imp.o'sion of the simplicity and un
worldly nature of the dweller* in the Alps
We picture a beautiful pastoral life ,of peop’e
unspoilt by the world, amid those mighty
works of nature —guileless shepherds in brosd
Swiss bonnes, arid Chamois hunters, who
talk in simple rural styles. The truth is, how
ever, they are one of the sharpest people on
'he eanh—they altogether out do the Yankees
in “making capital ’ of their grand mountains
and waterfal »■ There is no glen so remote
where you will not find “short wavs” of finish
imt Swiss sesnery aud paying francs. You
cannot escape t > a soli ude so wild that little
boys with wooden chamois, or girls with
bunches of flowers < r men with plans and
drawings, do r.ot follow you, bawling the
price in your ears. You settle yourself down
by a wild waterfall, to enjoy the so itaiy scene
by vourself. and you will not be there fifteen
minutes without having a polite offer from
above to let out the water at eo much a run!
You ascend alolty mountain peak, wi’h the
snow atoand you and the cloud beneath, and
you will be sure to find some ruddy faced,
well dressed boy or girl there, to beg from the
siranger, where the only possible reason for
giving would be, that they looked so happy
and comfortable- Let yourselves be caugnt
in one cf the ‘•goileleve” mountain cottages,
and you will pay a price in the morning such
as you would hardly in the best hotels in tbe
cities.

cuttings [ lauted in October. The sod for cut
tings should be me'low, and rich, rich in vpge

roots forming in the fall and winter thereby

tings should be p'aced in the ground horizon

the but end of the cutting should always res’

radiate from the bare, and once having taken
hold, will be likely to live. Lovers of fruits

Writing for the Press.
The London Morning Pest gires certain
rules on this subject, which we commend to the
attention of onr contributors.
“1. U«e note ezed paper, becanse a larae
sheet covp-r? ihe pi inter*? case, and hinders h’s
work. 2. Do not write on the back of the pa
per, as that, doubla* tho tiino of printing the
article—while one sde is being ‘setup,’ what
is wrtten on the tack cannot be ‘ gone on
with.” 3 Write with dark black ink; for an
editor wiil read with reluctance whit he sees 1
wi.li d.fTieul y; and the compositor, for the
same reason, will dislike to set it up. 4 Al
ways write a plain, bold hand; some han e
which are elegant vre too elegant to be under
stood. If you sand an indistinguishable
«crawl, it wiil be thrown aside until'.no editor
has leisure to mak • it nut, which may not be
until the “interest of the article has passed
away,” and t may be too late to print >t. —
5. Hemember, that whatever gives an editor
rouble a: hisdesk doubles the expense in the
r _.«>irrev. tn*? pnn •era and readers
waste time in deciphering bad MS.; and out
of any failure in interpretation, commonly
prows a charge against the journal fi r “niisie
pre'enting” the wri er. 6 if you know that
the editor will lake auy trouble 'o oblige you,
why givo him any tronb'e you please ! You
may scribble with a pin on your butter pape*,
ami tho editor will try to make it out; but if
the editor is under no obligation to you, if you
are not so popular that any thing must be print
ed that beats your name, why, cl ave to good
sense, good uste. correct expression, aud a
plain baud.”

Affairs ix L'vropk.—The Emperor of Aus
tria nnd the King <f ILuseia have bo’h been
making tours ihruufih h- ir n speciivedominions,
or portions of them, and bo’h with the same ob
ject in view. The assumption by the former of
absolute power was succeeded by a journey for
the purpose of personal survey in quarters where
disafßction might be apprehended ; while the
Kmtf of Prn B da reversing this order of pro
ceeding, makes his journey first for the better
accomplishment of his despotic purposes after
wards. He id's the people of Cologne some
shin? of his mind, in a brief harangue to this
effect:
“ I have not come here to make compliments
nor to reward, nor to punish, but to speak out
the truth and the whole truth. I know that you
are very sensitive upon the subject of your
press; but it is necessary that the infatuation
should cease—an infttua’ion which destroys all
confidence and loyalty—and causes only discord
in the ci’y and State. Seek to banish this un
friendly spirit. See that it be changed. What
my brother William has already said I adhere to,
and say amen to it seventy, and again seventy
times. It is time this should cease. If it do not,
I wiil myself put a stop to it. I have the wil!
and the power. Look to it. Let it be changed,
and that wi h little delay. Otherwise we shall
remain friends, and I assure you there will
be taken the severest measures ”
These concerted movements on the part of the
Emperor of Austria and the Prussian King have
taken place subsequently to an interview with
iheCzarot Russia, whose'instigation andinflu
t nee are palpably apparent throughout. It ie
this fact that gives a portentous meaning to pro
ceedings, which, if not thus sustained, would
indicate only the fatuity of imbocii despotism,
and would provoke a speedy reaction powerful
enough to sweep both'dynasties away. Neither
Austria nor Prussia could venture with safety
upon the usurpations which they have dared to
perpetrate, if each stood alone to hold her own,
as rhe could, without aid from other quarters
They aro but the instruments of a stronger
power. Russia, fearing no insurrections al
home, having her strength collected and con
centra'cd, can push on her vassal powers, —for
Austria and Prussia in fact hold to her the rela
tions cf vassals, —and urge them to desperate
steps in the way of suppressing all syptoms ol
liberalism in their dominions; and when the
galled spirit of downcast freedom can bear no
mure; when outraged rights and violated oaths
rise up f>r vengeance ; when tyranny, overstep
ping in its exuhing triumph al! bounds of hu
man endurance, puts i’self out of tDp sphere of
all obligations, and in the eyes of desperation
becomes the sole and only object of hatred and
revenge—then the frightened despots, terrified at
the storm they have raised, will have to appeal
to their master, the Czar, for help, which he
will s’and quite ready to grant.
To provoke this very state of things, the Rus
sian Emperor is no doubt urging on his crowned
minions at Vienna and Berlin. He is anxious
for an opportunity to protect them; and, as
protection is costly and may fairly require com
pensati n, he well be their protector first snd his
own payma-ter as erwar.’s. A fierce nternal
strußg’e between the people and their oppressors
in Prusisa or Austria would so exhaust the re
s u ecs ol the Government, a d weaken its
string’h, ’hat the intervention of Russia would
be equivalent "o her taking the whole quarrel on
her own shoulders.
Upon the w hole scene cf pulic affairs as exhib
ited on the Contmnit, England look?, we may
belive, with no little anxiety. She fought long
and steady, and in the end successfully, against
the all-extending supremacy cf Napoleon over
the Continent; she subsidized, she rallied al!
h-:r allies, again and again, to make head against
the spreading empire of France, which began
with the propagation of republican principles,
and which did n t wholly lose i s affinities with
democratic ideas even when its imperial splen
dor was most brillant. She has now in prospect
another series of wars, write yet groaning un
der the burden of debts incurred in ber last Con
t'nen tai crusade. The a; pa i ion of Russia, lil e
the shadow of a g ant cir erging from mis s
which half involve and which are half blended
with it, looms poit- ntously t efo-e her sight—a
colossal figure, and armed from bead to foot, wi:h
an air of iirptriou? defiance that seems to chal
lenge cambat on every side, except where sub
mission bends in homage.
The tricks of diplomacy will not avail against
an adversary ill e this. The arm of this Titan is
not to be bound with red tape. Submit or perish,
is the formula of Russian negotiation, whether
in the council or on the fie d —to which la ter
arena all questions of imperial policy are ulti
mately ref rred. The clear eye cf Kossuth saw
all this, and he mourn? over the downfall of
Hungary not only on her ow n account, as it in
volves the loss of h'-r liberties, but also because
Hungary, if established in independence, might
have stowd as a bulwark to Wester Europe
against the approaching surge of Russian inva
sion.
The position of France at this critical period
of aflai-s in Europe is so entirely undefined that

Latlb from Balize.— By the arrival yester
day at this port of the Schooner Dart from Ba-
We leirn that th- State of San Salvador ha£
at length finally sett ed a l its ddfiiullies with
Great Br tain, and entered into a treaty of peace,
amity, and commerce, ratifying the arrangement
that was made on board the Gorgon, in Novem
ber, 1849. This agreement has been brought
about between Don Ignacio Gomez. Commis
sioner on behalf of the Salvador Goverment.
and Mr. Chatfield, her Britannic Majesty's
Charge d’Affairs, and duly coi.firmed by Mr.
Duenas, President of that State.
The same paper mentions a report that the
authorities of Yucatan have taken forcible pos
session of the Island of Ambergris, and hoisted
the Mexican fl ig thereon, and that they have sta
tioned there an armrd force of 250 men. The
Watchman affiruis that this island has been
in the hands of British settlers, and been con
sidered British property tor twenty years.
It makes the following remarks in reference to
the subject:
How the Yucatanians have then ventured to
lake such a step, as it is reported they have,
must lo a matter of surprise to all. For even if
tii-y had a claim to that island, it would have
been but common courtesy to have made their
demand in a proper ami formal manner, prior
to adopting (he harsh,ind it may be said, un war
rantablc measures they have done; for it is
scarcely to be believed that had they any title or
right that they would have allowed the British
to' held undisturbed possession for such a long h
of time without a murmur or word. His Ex
cellency, her Majesty’s r-u erintendant, has,
however, proceeded to that place to ascertain
the facts relative to this report, and will, no
doubt, take the proper steps to make himself ful
ly acquainted with the F.ubje t, and act according
to the emergency us (he ease. It is scarcely to be
believed, however, that so gratuitous an insult
should have been offered to the British flag,
when s ) uncalled for; although it merely carries
out the old saying es “give an inch and lake an
til;” for, iron being allowed to board British
vessels in going up tlic river Hondo confiscate
their goods, and make prisoners of their persons,
they now with to sicze on their lands. On the
return ol h a Excellency, the particulars of thia
irjiiacti >n may transpire, when we shall have
much p eaMin-in laying it before the public.—

up to the dak’of his leaving, the Revolutionists

South America—Horrible Cruelty —The sub
joined fo>m tne th- Journal du Havre. The
news was firni.-hf d by the Sirene, Capt. Au
d' r ne, which left Montevideo on the 10th of
August. If the news be tr ’e, the preEcnt
csDiury is stained wi h a deed of blood tran
tcending in barbarity anything we remeniber
10 have read in (he darkest and i» ost brutal
times. The facts detailed are as follows:
On the Ist of August the National Guard of
Coionii h d ventured to mention their satis
fac ion at the departure of the troops of the
Garrison, cornu aude 'by Lieut. General Mo
reno. At the same time they took little pains
(oconce I the f-ct’hatthe entrance of Gene
rals G«q «>zi and Carzon into the Oriental ter-
11 ory w s nut d’*spleasing to them. Observing
the«e symptoms of the tendency of public
opinion, the police agon’s of Oribe has ened
to inform Moreno, who was then encamped
rix league!? from Coloma. As soon as this
cfficer had examined the reports of spies, he
n turned with all speed to Colonia, bringi g
with him about four hun 'red men and two
hundred horses, entered the town and gave
the sigt.ni for a genera; massacre ; mens eus
pected’ children, fell under the knives of the
cut throats. Morer.o, to excite by his exam
ple the ’cry of these aseuFsins, with his own
hands cu.’hethroat cf a young man named
Napolean ? eves.
Fearful h "idents marked the progresr of
this sce ie cf carnage. These executioners
iufuria- d ega nst their victims, were seen
to ffiu’i a'.e them, to r b the corpses of their
jewelery and ear rings, and not satitfied with
cutting «’IT their fingers and noses, to cut up
the r skin into strips to make ropes for their
cart harness. Th-; refi lemeni oTcrue ty which
cannibals inflict upon ?he.r pHsouers has been
fsjrly by a lieutenant of Oribe.
It is beyond a doubt that among the victims,
the precise number o *r om had not been
ascert lined at the departure of the last letters,

basely massacred. At the moment when tne
c.k throa’s of Moreno eir.ered Colonia he was
enjoying the amuseoient of fishing. Two of

thd tioop to put an end to him, and a few mo
(aents afterward his mutilated corpse wan
s’.rtlched upon (be shore.
The Rio Gbande Insurrection.—We learn
from the Tamp.cj Deieuaur of the Bth inst, that
J lite an exciting debate t«ok place on the Ist
inst, in the Congress of Tamaulipas, assembled
at Victoria, on :he subject cf the insurrection
» along the Rio Grande. Gen. Canales, Governoi

New Wav to Pat Old D>;*ti._We heard
yesterday of a rather impudent trick played
by a lodge- at one of the numerous private
boarding houses in town, on his landlsy. Ila
was indebted to her for several weeks’ board ;
end finally she announced to him her deter
mination, after many shifts and badly kept
promises on his part, to levy on the goods in
fits store. Ha went off in high dudgeon ; but
finally came to her and told her that he would
•end her tl at evening enough of his valuable
stock to settle all his dues. She consented,
and -er boarder lef-. It appears tha he left
. lor good, for she never saw him again ; but
in the evening camea drayman wi h a box ecu
taming the choice “articles” that were to be
considered as a fair exchange for threa weeks’
victuals, three changes of bod linen, candles,
cod, boot-poli.bing, &c. The box was
brought into the yard and opened. Several
persons had asxemb'ed, all eager to get a sight
of the fancy specnsenr. The drayman pulled
them ont. They consisted .imply and solely
of a large sign, on which appeared the follow
ing inscription :“Shelf, Back and Side Combs;
Buffalo aod Horn Combs; Stationery; Fancy
Soaps; Steel Pens; Ivory Comes; Pen
knives; Shoe Brushes; Scissor.; Spool
Cotton; Rizors; Suspenders; Indelible Ink;
Buttons and Percussion Cape !”
Attached to the sign was a piece of paper,
on which the enraged landlady read these’
words : “Old feminine. I hope you II find ’em
all right. Take your choice of my wholo
seek.”
The landlady fainted ; but was recalled to
her senses by the rough voice of the drayman
a king for the money due for bringing the box
of “goods.”— N. O. Pie.
The Best Recommesdatioh.—A youth
seeking employment went to one of our large
cities, and on inquiring at a certain coun ing
room if they wished a elerk. was told that they
did not. On mentioning the recommendations
he had, one of which was frmi a highly re
spectable citizen, the merchant desired to see
them, in turning over hie carpat bag to find his
letter, a book rolled out or. the floor “What
book is that I” said the merchant. “It is tho
Bible, sir, ’ was the reply. “And what are vou
going to do with that book in Now York f”
The lad locked seriously into bi, face and re
plied, “I promised my mother I would read it
every day and I shall do it,” and burst into
tears. The merchant immediately engage i hia
services, and in due time he became a partner
in the firm, one of the most respectable in the
city.
The following anecdote is told cf Judge
Story and his successor upon the bench :
It was Judge Story’s habit after the session
of the court on hia return to Cambridge, and
before the publication of the reports, to submit
the cases decided, to the class for argument.
On one occasion Judge Marshall had delivered
the opinion of the court, Judge Story dissi nt
ing When tbe points wore before the class,
Mr. Curtis took the lime positions assumed by
Judge Stery on tho bench, and that eminent
man, on bis return to Washington, said to
Jndr e Marshalt that if the case had been argu •
ed with half the ability before the court that it
was before the class, the decision would have
Lean reversed. “And,” added ths Judge, “B.
R. Curtis, the young man not yet admitted to
practice, who made that argument, will yet
aland at the head of the New England bar.”
That predic'ion has been ver lied, and the
student occupies the seat his distinguished in
structor so well filled.
Hydrogen (Jas for Illumination.—Tho
last number of the American Journal of Sci
ence contß'ns an interesting article on this
subject bv Professor B. Silfiman, Jr.
In his recent European tour he had an op
pertuni y of seeing the successful application
of M. Gdlard’v patent, by wb ch he claim? the
production of a useful I ght, and great heat
from the combustion from hydrogen gas in
contact with a coil of platinum wire. The
hydrogen is produced by the decomposi'ion of
water, effected by pacing steam through
retorts charged with charcoal reduced to small
fragments, and heated to an ii tense degree.
The resultant gas, after teing conducted
through lime water, which removes »he car
bonic acid, consists almost wholly of hydrogen.
This is burned in contact with a cage or net
work of platinum wire gauze surrounding an
protected
effimney. “This simple contrivance,” he
states, “is perfectly successful, and the light
given out from gas lamps of ibis construction
is extremely vivid and constant.”
The following are some of the advantages
chimed by the invention:
“1. The gas so produced ia cheaper than
any other mode of artificial light, costing, as is
asserted by M Gillard,nnd sustained by others,,
only about 1 16 h the average cost of co m I vaa.
2 The gas has no unpleasant odor. 3 Tni«
mode of producing gas may be applied to any
existing ftie works by 8 alight modification of
the retorts, and without any essential change
in any other portion of the apparatus. 4 The
cheapness of this mode enables it to be
applied with great advantage as a fuel for
cock'ng and for numerous purposes in the
arts. 5. The nuisances rebuking from the
presence of large coal gas works in populous
dis’ricts are cn'irely avoided. f>. The arrange
ments ere so simple and inexpensive that every
establishment, where it is desired to employ
light and heat, may erect its own apparatus,
all the materials employed being every where
accessible.”
Prof. 8. adds that it is understood M. Gillard
lias secured his pa'ent in the United S ates.
Railroad Accident —A correspondent,
writing to us, on Sunday, in relation to the
accident which occurred on the Nashville and
Chattanooga Railroad, the day previous, says
the locomotive, par monger car and freight cars,
are lying in Overa i’s Creek, probably fifteen
feet below the road, apparently very seriously
damaged. It is aston.thing 'hat every person
on them was not killed, as the locomotive
turned over once or twice. There were but
few passengers in the cars fortunately, and
they crawled out through the bottom The
damage sustained by the company, owing to
this accident, it ia thought, will reach slo,boo.

Plankroad Dividend.—The Pres ; dentand
Directors of the Fayetteville and Western
Plankroad Company, North Carolina, have
dec’ared a semi annual dividend of two per
cent, on tho whole capital, nr about five per
cent on tho cost of that part of the road on
which to Is have been collected. The road
when completed will probably pay a dividend
of 15 to 18 per cent.
