Lovingly dedicated lo nature'I darling child, Sal-

Leaping with loud thunder
liusning waters teem,
Cleaving boughs asunder,
Mighty gients s-ein :
Over grey rocks splashing.
Through wild gorges crashing,
With mad billows dashing,
Roars the mountain stream.
Merry spring comes glancing
With her starry gleam,
Fairy footsteps dancing.
Childhood'* happy dream ;
April showers sprinkling,
Laughing sunbeams twinkling,
Fairy ripples tinkling,
Laughs the mountain stream.
Summer, blossom laden,
Comes with gol en beam,
L'ke a gentle maiden
Wearing “love’s young dream
Through the sunlit hours
Laving summer flowers
Under leafy bowers.
Sings the mountain stream.
Mild and melancholy.
Comes with saddened beam
Autumn i aim and holy
Over life’s bright dream ;
Night winds sadly sighing,
Birds on swift wings flying,
Buds and Blossoms dying,
Sighs the mountain stream
Winter weird and hoary
Flings his ghostly gleam.
Gone, the spring’s bright glory
Dead the Summer’s beam ;
White and still the faces
That the ice-ktrig traces,
In hi* his cold embraces,
Lies the mountain stream.
Child of nature walking
Through ltie’s changeful dream,
Woods and waters talking,
Frieuds and lovers sr»m ;
Through yonryouug life's glory,
Through age. grey and hoary,
With its old, old story
Sings the mountain stream.

At a depth of thirty feet below this
they found a worn pavement, and
twenty-four feet below that again a
still more ancient pavement - This
“Robinson’s Arch” is the remains of
the bridge that was standing at the
siege of Jerusalem, where we can im
agine the Roman General Titus nt one
end holding a parley with the beleag
uered Jews at the other. The older
bridge beneath this doubtless belongs
to the days of Solomon, and was there
fore the one other which the Queen
of Sheba passed to the royal preseuce.
These discoveries make plain many
a point that had hitherto been deem
ed fabulous or exaggerated in historic
pages; as, for instance, where Jose
phus says, in speaking of the walls ot
Jerusalem: “If any one looked down
from the top of the battlements he
would be giddy, while his sight could
uot reach to such an immense depth.”
But explorations have proved that
walls were actually built along the
declivity, on the summit of which
stood the temple, extending from 1U0
to 150 feet lower than the surlace 011
which the building stood.
Still 100 feet below this was the
bed of the brook Kedron, which flow
ed at the foot of the declivity. The
surface on which stood the temple
was therefore 250 feet above the deep
defiles around. If now we plant upon
this upper surface the glorious tem
ple itself ascending story above story,
tower above tower, to the height of
some one hundred and fifty feet, only
imagine what a spectacle must have
burst upon any one approaching Mount
Moriah from the Mount of Olives op
posite—such a sight as the Saviour
himself witnessed—with this grand
artificial mountain towering before
him from the depths below, a huge al
titude of rock, wall, column, towers,
and pinnacles culminating in the gor
geous temple on the summit, and
reaching an aggregate height of not
less Ilian 500 or 000 feet—three times
the height of Trinity spire. Space
will not permit an enumeration of the
many important discoveries that have
been made and the conflicting ques
tions that have been permanently set
at rest by the labors of this society
since its formation.
A Voice from South Carolina.
“Fit* Hugh St. Clair, Tbe South Carolina Rohel
Boy,or It is no sin to be born a gentleman.’’—By
Mrs. Salliz F. ChspiS; Charleston, S. C.—t lax-
ton, Remseti ii, Ilaffeltinger Publishers,Philadelphia.
This touching little book has come
to us like a fresh pure draught from
tbe fountain of Patriotism ; a patriot
ism broad and deep, winch seeks to
embrace the entire nation, only asking
as its basis the practice of the “golden
rule.” Notwithstanding the name
would imply the contrary, the author
displays little of that spirit of “States
RightsJ’so condemned by Partou and
other impartial (?) writers.
That she should feel and write
strongly concerning the destruction ot
Southern homes, cannot excite won
der, we think, even in the North.
“Facts are stubborn things,” she says,
and she simply states facts.
Tbe motive power of the book is
inspiring. We love to find a book
these days which has an object higher
than that of “making money,” and
the mission of this—Keeping the mem
ory ot our soldier dead pure and un
sullied, for their sons and daughters,
is truly noble; worthy of a woman’s
heart, well fitted to a woman’s pen.
These are the author’s own eloquent
words. “Boys! Soldiers’ sons! My
whole heart goes out to you and for
you, and I am writing this book, God
knows, for no other purpose than to
show my love for you. I want you
to be worthy of your brave fathers,
and never permit any one in yout
presence to say, “they were the per
petrators of unnatural and monstrous
crimes.” or that “they fill dishonored
graves.”
For, be it known that there are those
in the North, who never having “had
the heart” to praise the sword in “Ira-
tricidal war,” now wield the pen in
the effort to cover with disgrace and
infamy the names of our fallen, con
quered heroes, (but heroes still! ) to
whom even their own brave northern
men delight to give honor.
But besides this, she touches upon
the key note which thrills the heart
of the nation. “Man’s Rights !” We
hear much of “Woman’s Rights” more
properly “woman's wrongs.” 'Phis
true hearted 8 uithern woman has
found the “open sesame” to the whole
mystery when she tells our boys what
they have a right to beffin spite of cus
tom, noble, self-reliant, virtuous and
brave. Read it Doys ! and you will be
no longer ashamed to wear an old
coat, and to do work on your widow
ed mother’s farm. Wait quietly,
LO.YG BRANCH.
Tie Sterna of Tburjultijr M^ht on the Sen
and Isnnd.
Long Branch, August 23, 1872.
The storm which broke over this
place last evening was one of the most
severe that has visited the Branch for
years, though the amount of property
destroyed has not been very great
The intense heat of the day indicated
that there was something unusual with
the atmosphere, the suffering guests
at t!.e various hotels pronouncing the
heat to be something unprecedented in
the history of watering places The
ladies, young and old, were clad in the
thinnest of dresses; but the sun poured
its scorching rays down upon their
forms, and gauze was found to be no
protection against the burning weath
er, the perspirationpenetratingthrough
corset and muslin.
When the last train from New York
had arrived and deposited its crowd of
passengers, the unusual appearance of
the atmosphere attracted general at
tention. f he fleecy clouds which had
hovered in the heavens during the
day, were suddenly disappearing, and
in their stead dark masses began to
fill the horizon. The bathers, who
had been revelling in the surf all
through the afternoon, became alarm
ed and hurriedly emerged from the
water, chased by the rapidly rising
waves. The schooners and pleasure
boats which were near the land made
for the shore, and disembarked the
groups of frightened ladies, who could
not be reassured by the assertions of
the gentleman that it was all a trifle,
the appearance of th© gallants, who
were white and trembling, conveying
a far different impression.
For about half an hour after the
first indications of the storm were visi
ble the elements preserved an omin
ous sileuce, but a sudden squall of
wind which came up from the sea, ex
tinguishing the lights along the beach
and in many of the hotels, warned all
that the god of the winds and waves
was abroad in all his majesty. The
roars of the waves became louder
and louder and their crested tops
could be seen from the balconies of
hotels dashing in angry fury upon the
shore.
Darkness came rapidly on, ami in a
few minutes the heavens were black j
as night, the'wind came sweeping I
along in great gusts, w hile the roar of j
the breakers could be heard for miles
away. Every street fight at the j
Branch had by this time become ex- j
tingushed, the carriages which had |
been caught in the storm dashing j
madly through the darkness, the •
horses shaking and shivering with '
terror. What few pedestrians were
out rapidly got to a place of shelter, i
everything that was likely to be ;
blown down was made as fast as pos- 1
s’ble and the hotel windows were
firmly closed down.
A number of adventurous spirits at i
the West End would not go within !
doors, but sat under tbe veranda, ;
though it) danger of b*-ingswept away, j
to contemplate the war of the ele- j
merits. The ladies clustered in groups j
in the parlors, clinging in terror, real
or feigned, to the arms of the gentle
men, who, nothing loath, assumed
the responsibility, their faces beaming
with manly courage and chivalry.
The wind had all this time continu- !
ed to rise, accompanied by vivid flash
es ol lightning, which for a secoud lit
up the sombre atmosphere, revealing
the tumultuous sea, upon which, far
out, a few sterm-tossed schooners could
be seen, bravely battling against the
blinding hurricane. At times the,
lightning was so vivid that a specta- j
tor would be momentarily blinded by
the brilliancy of the flash, while tha
terrified screams of the ladies would
tend to increasa the general confusion.
The lighting was for a time unaccom
panied by thunder, but at length a
terrific peal was heard, which shook
the foundations of the hotels, startling
the few invalids from their beds, in
the wildest state of dishabille. There
had not up to this been a drop of rain,
but a few pattering drops could now
be heard on th© veranda, and a feeling
of thankfulness sprang up that the lury
of the storm was about to be stilled,
and that the terrible heat of the night
would be somewhat moderated. In a
short time the cooling element was
pourinj down in torrents, but without
much effect upon the wind, which con- 1
tinued to rage with unabated force j
and vehemence. Many ot trie hotels |
were plunged in total darkness, and |
every effort to keep the lights burning \
proved abortive, the sudden squalls !
extinguishing them as fast as they !
were lighted.
In the spacious parlors of the West
End the white-robed divinities clus
tered more closely together, and a
number of the gentlemen took refuge
and beautiful; the agitation of the pre | broken or wholly blown down,
ceding night had been completely put i Mr. Jesse Bradley had a chimney de-
to rest, and nature rarely presented a i molished and sad havoo mane among
more beautiful appearance. As if in , his young fruit trees,
mockery of the storm the sea was j In Westport the storm king held
without a ripple, and the strand and | carnival, and memory of him will long
exist. At the rear of Mr. F. H. Nash’s
barn the largpst apple tree in town
yielded to the force of the wind, and,
with its burden of fruit, kissed the
ground. Maple trees especially were
victims of the wind’s power, and were
most unmercifully dealt with. Cap
tain Frederick Jarvis lost half a dozen
apple trees, and Mr. Frank Raymond,
close by, as many more, besides dam
age to bis farm buildings.
In many places fences of stone were
thrown from their foundations.
In Norwalk great damage resulted.
The noble elm trees in St. Paul’s (Epis
copal) churchyard succumbed in more
than one instance. Opposite, in the
yard of Mrs James Moody Hoyt, the
eye was pained to see noble specimens
of fancy and expensive trees laid low.
Rev. S. B. S. Bissell suffered by loss
of trees, and Colonel F. 8t. John Lock-
wood, President of the First National
Bank, has reason to remember the ter
rible visitation.
At the foot of Mill Hill a great wil
low tree gave way, and in its fall de
molished a chimney in Mr. J. A. Ho-
necker’s bakery, besides sending a
heavy skylight across the street fifty
feet distant.
The ^Norwalk Hotel people looked
from their windows, and beholding
trees and branches flying on every
hand, thought their fancied place of
safety very unsafe. Close by the Meth
odist Episcopal church a willow tree
came down with a rush, smashing
tilings in its course, but, fortunately,
striking no persou.
All along the route between Nor
walk and this city people are this
morning engaged in removing debris
in the shape of broken limbs, and
throughout the city there is scarcely
a dooryard that cannot tell a story of j
one or mure of its favorite trees mini- j
hilated. At this writing it is impos- |

When six hundred straight Repub

has a better “reply” than even Sum

South, redeem your country. Men
are needed in the councils of the na
tion; statesmen, good and true. Fit
yourselves for the places, by hard
study, and then go in and wiu them.
Let us have peace, prosperity, justice
and equity once more. You can do it;
every other hope has failed us; we turn
to you in the last extremity.”
A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribuue has been prowling around
among Brigham Young’s wives, and is
able to give a little descriptive sketch,
ot all but five, whom he did not suc
ceed in finding. He classifies them as
one first and legal wife, fourteen po-
lygmatic wives, four proxy wives, and
six not classified, with five more that
he did not discover. He is supposed
to be hunting for those missing wives,
and there is no doubt that he will find
them.
sailors declared that no small craft
could live through such a terrihc gale,
and that many of the fishing boats,
which were some miles fioin land,
must inevitably perish, and as very
few have come in this morning the in
ference is probably correct. Those
who have reached land have done so
with sails out aud rigging gone.
By teu o’clock the storm began to
moderate, the wind went down, and
the flashes of lightning became less
incessant, the tremeudous rain
which kept pouring steadily down
having greatly lessened the fury of
the hurricane and abated its power.
All through the night, however, the
heavens were more or less agitated,
the roar of the breakers continued, va
ried with occasioual peals of thunder.
I11 many of th© hotels and cottages the
more timid did not retire to rest, bu;
tne sensible people did, and, as the
night was deliciously cool after the
storm, slept souudly.
This morning the sun rose bright
lawns in front only looked all the more
charming, and the only evidence of
the wind which could be seen was in
the roads, which are somewhat torn
up, and the bathing boxes, which are
greatly shattered. The damage to
vessels at sea has not been so great as
was at first supposed; the missing
boats are rapidly coming in, with the
loss of most of their working gear.
The colored population are partic
ularly vexed at the storm, Ali pre
parations had been made for the ova
tion to Massa Grant; a platform had
been erected, eminent speakers secur
ed, a brass band had arrived from
Philadelphia and a jolly time was an
ticipated, when the storm came on and
completely spoiled the fun. The
wrath of the waiters was great and
nearly approached to profanity, while
the colored girls, who were glorious in
white dresses and yellow sashes, re
fused to be comforted. Garnet, of
Shiloh church and Cooper Institute
fame, was promised for tbe occasion;
a big talk was expected from Isaiah
Weir, of Philadelphia; Senator Wilson
was expected to give sage advice, and
even from the President something
was expected, and though the affair
may eventually come off, the ardor of
its projectors has greatly cooled, and
it will probably end in a fizzle.
Tbe closing days races ot the year
will be held at Monmouth Park on
Thursday, the 29th, and John Cham
berlain predicts the best sport and
the mo6t brilliant attendance of the
season. The first race will be a con
test of four mile heats, for a purse of
S2.500, presented by the hotels at the
Branch; second horse to receive S500;
third horse, $250. The following are
th© entries:—Coffin’s Moriacchi, Mc
Daniel’s Abdel Koree, H. Sanford’s
Monarchist, John Chamberlain’s
Wheatley, D. S. Banuatyne’s Milesian,
Babcock’s Doctor, Mooie’s Foster!
and A. Welch’s Lyttieton.
The second race will he a grand
three mile national steeplechase for a
purse of SI,000. The following fa
inous horses are entered:—Blind Tom,
Lochiel, Duliy. Astronomer, Vesuvius,
Impecunious, Denis Burns, Asteroid
and Tammany. Second horse to re
ceive $200; third $100. Two grand
balls are to be given the same evening
at the West End arid Ocean Hotels,
and a splendid finish will be given to
the racing season.
In view ot the forthcoming fall elec
tions a large number of prominent
politicians are departing for their
States, leaving their wives behind
them. The crowd of visitors is as
great as ever, and will probably con
tinue so fora month to come.

Yesterday morning at sunrise the
thermometer indicated seventy-eight

be expected to happen before night.
At twelve w. the thermometer touch

clouds that were unmistakably pre

these sounds continued. Nearer and
nearer they approached, when, at half-

all its lury. The very flood gates of
heaven seemed to be open, and the wa

Near the house of Mr. Rufus W ake-

Wilson at Bull Run.—When Col.
Henry Wilson, now candidate for
Vice-President, was in Boston rais

presented himself at headquarters and
asked for a commission.
‘‘Have you seen service ?” asked
Col. W.
“Yes, Colonel, I was in the three
months’ service.”
“Were you at the battle of Bull
Run ?”
“I was, Colonel.”
Col. Wilson has a delicate vein of
humor in him, so, winking to his staff',
be asked :
“And did you run well ?”
“I used due diligence, Colonel. I
