On a long and lonely journey, Where we eould not help or hold, For we raw but the cloning eyelids, The fading of locks of gold, And knew how now was but silence, Where once had been prattle and song, And only a child and a shadow, Where was sunshine the whole day long. Away from oar care and caresses, “God knows where they are,” we say, And we know that we,tarry behind them Only a little way ; For we, too, harte in our journey, And we know it will not be long Till we come to the City Eternal, The rest and rapture of song. Yet oft, when the sun is setting In unspeakable splendor of light, Or the day grows dim and dusky, And the shadows stretch into the night, When the children tired with their playing, Come in through the open door, I think of the dear, dear children, Who will ncTer come any more. A Quker Hiding Place. —The In. dianopolis Herald gives an account of the efforts of an officer to arrest a couple ol parties for a State offense. The Herald says : Schaffer got out of bed and ran up stairs, and while Baker was pursuing him, the womau went into the cellar to hide. The cellar contained water to the depth ot about three feet, as cold as ice. The woman, with po clothing but her night gown, plunged into the water, and stooping down so that her head only was out, placed a large wooden bowl over it, so that she was entirely concealed. Having secured Schaffer, Baker begau to look about for the woman. After making a thorough search of the house, he proceeded to the cellar, lantern in hand. A few boards were floating around at the foot of the stairs, and the officer, thinking there was only a few inches of water, stepped upon one ol the boards, when, a little to bis surprise, and greatly to his disgust, he plunged, nearly up to his armpits, into the coldest water he ever felt. Thinking that no living think could hide in such a place, he left the cellar and again searched the house. Knowing that he had men post ed at every place of exit, he was con siderably puzzled at the mysterious dis appearance, and again went to the cel lar. Seeing the wooden bowl, he thought perhaps It might be solid enough to make a bridge of, and accor dingly placed a plauk from the foot of the stairs to the bowl. He then tried it with his foot and the bowl went under the water. He again left the cellar and concluded to wait. After waiting more than an hour, he heard a noise at thecel lar door, and ou going to it, found the woman, who had fainted from the ter rible suffering she had imposed upon herself, to avoid the shame and exposure of an arrest. She was furnished with dry clothes, and under proper treat ment recovered, though for a time it appeared that her guilty soul had taken its flight. if ■The Rot Kino. —It set. eto be tolej, rabfy well settled now, youojf gentleman who is destr i‘ to up/ himself the responsible* ii of King, is the third son™ Queen Viwiria, Prince Arthur. But seventeen years of age, the “round and type of soveignty,” will have to be placed, as in the appari tion which appeared to the thane of Cawdor, upon a “baby brow.” In such case, the experiment will not be alto gether without its risks. The boy King will have to be lor some years in the leading strings of politicians who are older than himself, and as these poli ticians will but nse him to promote whatever schemes of their own they may have in view (for all politicians have schemes), the probabilities are that Alfred will not find his kingdom alto gether a bed of rose3. We doubt not he will find a monarehial party to support him, but he will also find an anti-mo narchial party, and between the two, he and his advisers will have abundant and frequent opportunity, to develop what ever of statesmanship and worldly wisdom may be in them.— New York Express. Badi.y Edchred.—The New Or leans Picayune, in answer to a circu lar inviting Southern card players to a Euchre Congress, confesses “with sor row, that we have been so badly euchred by the present Federal Con gress that we have come to the conclu sion that the South is essentially played out.” The North holds both black bowers ; the knave of clubs is Sumner, and the knave of spades is the hero of Dutch Gap Canal. Besides, it plays a “lone hand.” The Picagune, therefore, acknowledges the courtesy of the invi tation, but desires to “pass,” at least on the part of the play. There is no chance to take a “trick,” with people who are so “tricky.” However, politi cal pleasantry aside, the South will doubtless send players to the Euchre Congress, if the Northern folks will only “deal fair,” who can probably bold their own.” New Printing Press.—There has just been completed and put in tunning order at the Government Printing Office, says the Washington Intelligencer, one of the most wonderful pieces of mechan ism in the shape of a printing press that has ever been exhibited. The press is of the Bullock patent, and as on exhibition of some of its powers, we will mention : The press will print in one hour 20,000 sheets of 64 pages of document matter; while doing this it feeds itself, the paper being in rolls, wets the paper, cuts the sheets, folds them, and by a dial con nected to the press keeps tally of the number of sheets printed. Only two men aro required to have entire control of the press, thus doing away with the necessity of persons to supply it with sheets, (or, as they arc called feeders.) —TUe editor of a Virginia paper has seen some grains of corn known to be ntty five years old, being the remnant of some deposited in a garret in town in the year 1812. Upon examination, the germinating principle in all of them still retained Us vitality. {^ggP 190 BROAD STREET. 190 CIOODS GOODS, MILLINERY, BONNETS, HATS CAPS, HAT ORNAMENTS, SHAWLS, HUSLINS, CLOAKS, FLANNELS OPERA FLANNELS, PLAID FLANNELS, MERINOES, ALPACAS, BOMBAZINES, SILKS, POPLINS, EMPRESS CLOTHS, CALICOES, HOOP SKIRTS, LACE COLLARS, PLAIN COLLARS AND CUFFS, RIBBONS FLOWERS, BRIDAL WREATHS, ILLUSIONS, TARI.ETONS DRESS TRIMMINGS, LADIES’ GAUNTLETS, BUGLE TRIMMING, WHALEBONE, AND EVERYTHING HUCKABACK TOWELLING, FRINGED TOWELS, FRENCH ROBES—beautiful styles, TOWELLING, TABLE LINEN, TABLE NAPKINS, SHIRTINGS, SHEETINGS, PILLOW-CASE COTTONS, KID GLOVES, all colors and sizes HOSIERY, Ladies’, Misses and Gents, PINS, NEEDLES, HOOKS AND EYES, Usually found in such a Stores Mrs. E.
