A City of Brotherhoods.
In the silent mid-night watches,
In the solemn hush of uight,
When the soul communes with spirits
From the upper world of light;
Then it was, awake or dreaming,
On the winds a spirit came,
Like the sound of mauy waters,
And a voice that none can name.
“Mortal!” cried the spirit, breathing
Thrilling whispers to the air;
“Listen to the words of wisdom,
Look around thee, see and hear.”
Then I heard a tale of wonder,
Then I saw a broad domain.
Where the congregated thousands
Built a city on the plain.
’Twas avast full-peopled city,
For the mightiest of the earth,
Daily growing, thousands,
Whatsoever their names or birth.
There the proud, the meek, the learned;
Tin* rich and poor, and bond and free,
Young and old, in bonds of fraternal.
Meet in perfect unity.
Quii-t dwells within that city,
Strife and mammon enter not;
Calm it seemed as holy sabbath,
Every dome a holy spot,
None for love of lucre leave it.
None rebel against its laws;
Xevt r yield they to tiie Tempter,
For the Tempter give sno cause!
Streets and alleys intersecting,
Laid with geometric art,
Witnessed to the love of order,
Both of head and chastened heart.
Marble mansions shone by moon-light,
Every portal bore a name;
But no voice or footstep
Thence from street or mansion came.
There I stood, amazed and musing,
Whether sleeping or awake;
Yhen to me methoughtthe spirit
In gentler accent spake:
Speaking in expressive silence,
Speaking to the soul in might:
“Mortal!” lift the eye, be manful;
Out of darkness cometh light.
See, an oasis of beauty
Mid a barren world of strife!
See a city free from folly.
Anger, ills, and jars of life!
Not a soul disturbs his neighbor,
All the evil passions fled:
Mortal! why? There is no waking,
Tis the City of tiif. Dead!”

From th»* Mexican Extraordinary,
f.rcat Mexican Cave—a Visit to facahuamllpa.
The immense cavern, commonly called
The Cave of Cuernavaca,” has been just
ly considered one of the most interesting
of the natural curiosities in which Mexico
abounds. Its remote situation and difficul-
tv of access are t Ire only reasons why it
has not attained the celebrity which its
vast extent as well as the beauty of its
sparry consecrations, richly merit.
The object of the present sketch is not
so much to describe the cave itself, when
to those who visit it, would he a superflu
ous labor, and to those who do not, a vain
attempt, as to convey some idea of the dis
tance to bo traversed in order to reach the
place, and of the preparations necessary
in order to see the cave to the best ad
vantage.
wonders beyond. The torches are soon
lighted, and we take leave of the green
trees and pleasant sunshine for a stroll
among forests of stone and under a rocky
sky. Tall columns of glistening spar ap
pear as we advance, while the walls are
covered at frequent intervals with sheets
of crystalline to deposit like frozen water
falls.
The floor is broad and level, consisting
mostly of a dry and crumbling earth. It
is paved in places with spar, or covered
by a singular net-work of low ridges of the
same material. The cave increases rather
than otherwise in width and height as we
proceed. Its average width is not less
than thirty yards, while the glare of the
torches scarcely reached the dusky arch
above. About a quarter of a mile from
the entrance the cave is nearly closed up
by a row of enormous stalagmites which
have been formed across the passage,
leaving only a single opening, not wider
than a common doorway. This is called
the Puerta. Through it you enter direct
ly into the largest apartment of the cavern,
which the guide announces as the “Saladel
Pantheon.” Here the cave spreads cut to
double its ordinary width, forming avast
rotunda by a lofty aieh. For a great part
of the circumference the walls are ceiled
with “silent cataracts” of snowy spar.
Toward the further side, but still at a
distance from the wall, stands the most
interesting object in the cavern. It is a
cylindrical column of crystaline spar,
about 20 feet in diameter and twenty-live
in height. Its top is apparently quite flat,
while the sides are fluted aud columned
and covered with all the curious fret work
which nature is want to carve in her sub
terranean studio. The base of the column
is a terraced pedestal, of which each step is
an exquisitely crystalized basin, that was
both formed and filled by the water which
once dripped upon the column and flowed
down its sides. I doubt if any cavern in
any part of the world can furnish any
single object more beautiful or imposing
than this massive pillar of glittering crys
tal
Beyond the “Hall of the Pantheon” the
cave continues on in the same general di
rection as before. But we soon come to a
liill of angular rocks which have fallen
from the roof. Over these we clamber
with some difiiculty and a little risk of
bruises, and reach the smooth and level
way. Pursuing this, perhaps another
quarter of a mile, we reach another cluster
of gigantic pillars which nearly close the
passage. One of these, about twelve feet
in diameter, has fallen prostrate, and ex
hibits in its broken and concentric layers,
like the animal rings in the trunk of a for
est tree. With time and patience I doubt
not the number of alternate dry and rainy
seasons required for its enormous growth
might have been counted on this curious
record. Several pools of delicious water
at the base of these pillars afford a wel
come refreshment.
Many rockets were fired in different
parts of the cave to ascertain its bight.
Generally they would strike the roof and
the party.
But in some places, when well directed,
they would scarcely reach the lofty arch
before their forces was spent.
The guides assured us that the cave had
no eud, and as too much time would have
beeii required to disprove their assertion,
if indeed it could be disproved at all, we

The (oathuvn who JlarrM his Employer’s
Daughter.
The New York Times of Saturday has
the following in relation to the late secret
marriage between the daughter of Mr.
Boker; a w ealthy merchant of that citv,
and his coachman:
Young Dean, the lucky coachman, has
finally agreed to give up his wife for a
time and accept the pecuniary offers of
her friends. Yesterday his counsel re
ceived a letter from Mr. Boker's lawyers
proposing that Dean should go into busi
ness in one of the Western Cities—capital
being provided by Mr. Boker—and that
he should consent to be separated from his
wife for the period of six months, corres
pondence between them being allowed
during that time. Dean is willing to ac
cept the proposition, at the present at
least.
The Rev. Mr. Hatfield, who performed
the marriage ceremony, describes Mr.
Dean as of prepossessing appearance, gen
tlemanly address, and with nothing about
him to show that he was of Irish origin, but
the slightest possible brogue. Mr. Dean
called at his house on Tuesday, the 24th
of last Feb., and enquired if Mr. Hatfield
would, on the following Saturday tie the
marriage knot forhim. Mr. H. assented.
On Saturday, Mr. Dean presented himself
and said, his intended bride, who was en
gaged as servant in a gentleman’s family
close by, had been unable to perfect her
arrangements, and it was necessary to
postpone the marriage until the ensuing
Tuesday. To this Air. H. agreed, ap
pointing the time of day for the brida: par
ty to call. Tuesday came, and the min
ister held himself in readiness to perform
the ceremony; but he waited and they did
not appear. Towards evening, however,
Dean’s friend came to the house, and told
the servant, that owing to the storm of
the preceding da)', the young lady had
been unable to finish up her household du
ties, and as she wanted to remain in her
place some time longer, she did not wish
her marriage known, but that they would
come the next day.
Wednesday morning came—the couple
also and their two witnessess with them.
Miss Boker was dressed as became her
assumed station, not in silk and hoops, nor
sparkling with diamonds. Mr. Dean was
neatly attired, and acted like a well-bred
gentleman. As the day was muddy, and
Mr. H.’s parlors had but lately been fur
nished with a new carpet, it was deemed
prudent that the ceremony should be per
formed in the basement, which was a cozy
enough [dace, and there the marriage took
place.
At its conclusion, Dean took from his
purse a roll of bills, from which detaching
a Y. he delicately passed it over, politely
enquiring if that would satisfy the clergy
man. Mr. II. bowed an affirmative, and
tbe happy party left, Mr. H. remarking to !
his wife that the lady had evidently the j
best of the bargain. He thought no more j
of the matter till his attention was called j
to it on Tuesday last from the statement
in the papers, when he found that instead,
as lie supposed, of making a poor ser
vant girl happy, he had probably made a
wealthy family miserable.
Fanners daughters.
A fair correspondent of the Ohio Cvl-
tirateor, addresses the following sensible
remarks to the girls of our rural districts.
“Farmer’s daughters are soon to be the
8IUMM Fuuto Mflcrs.
The following description of the King
of Siam’s female military body guard
though not entirely new, ic interestingftom
its minuteness:
A battalion of the King’s Guard consists
of 400 women, chosen among the hand
somest and most robnst girls in the country.
They receive excellent nay, and their
discipline is perfect. They are admitted
to serve at the age of 13, and are placed in
the army of reserve at f.5. From that
period they no longer serve about the
King’s person.but are employ ad to guard tbe
Royal palaces and Crown 1 »nds. On en
tering tbe army they nutke a vow of
chastity, from which there is no exemption
unless any of them should attract the
King’s attention and be admitted among
his legitimate wives. Tbe King’s choice
seldom falls on the most beautiful, but
tbe most skilled in military exercises.
The hope of such a reward animates
them with extraordinary zeal for military
instruction, and Europeans are astonished
at the martial appearance of that battalion,
as well as its skill in manoeuvering and
excellent discipline. The costume these
women wear is very rich. Their full dress
is composed of a white woolen robe,
embroidered with gold. The cloth is
extremely fine, and descends as far as the
knee; it is covered with a light coat of mail
and a gilt curiass,
The arms are free, and the head is
covered with a gilt casque. "When wear
ing this dress on State occasions their
only weapon is a lance which they handle
with wonderful dexterity With their
undress they are armed with a musket.
The battalion is composed of four com
panies, and each company 100 women,
commanded by a captain of their sex.—
Should the captain die, the company is
drilled for three days by the King, who
appoints the most competent to succeed
to the command.
The battalion has been commanded for
the last five years by a woman who saved
the King’s life, at a tiger hunt, by her
courage and skill. She possesses great
influence at Court, and is much respected
by those under her command. She has
the same establishment as a member of the
royal family, and ten elephants are placed
at her service. The King never under
takes any expedition without being ac
companied by his female guard, nor does
he ever hunt, or even ride out, without an
escort of the same guard, who are de
votedly attached to his person. Each
individual of the battalion has five negresscs
attached to her service, and, having thus
no domestic occupation, she can devote
herself exclusively to the duties of their
profession. There is a parade ground near
the city, where one company is stationed
for two days every week to exercise tliem-
selvesin the use of the lance, the pistol,
the musket and the rifle.
The King attends once a month at these
exercises, accompanied hv his brother,
who shares in some degree the sovereign
poNver, and distributes prizes to the most
deserving. These rewards consist of brace
lets or other valuable jewelry, to which
the girls and their families attach great
importance. Those so honored fill the
offices of sergeant and corporal. Punish:
ment is very rare in the corps, and when
it is inflicted it consists of a suspension from
service for a period not exceeding three
months. But duels are much more fre
quent. They must be sanctioned, how
ever, by the female captain, aud be fought
with swords in the presence of the entire
company. When the death of one of the
parties ensues, the deceased receives a
magnificent funeral, and the high priest
pronounces a panegyric declaring that tbe
deceased, by her valor, has merited rest in
the abodes of the blessed. The survivor
receives the congratulations of her com
panions; but as a measure of discipline,
she is sentenced to pass two months away
from her company in fasting and prayer.

PROSPECTUS OF
“TIIE SOUTH.”
A DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER. PUBLISHED
AT RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.
Before the close of the present month, the sub
scriber will issue the first number of a newspaper
bearers for the better illumination of the
cave.
The supplies to be obtained at the vil
lage art* limited to bread and chocolate,
with stalks of maize for the animals. A
few pine faggots may also be made by
waiting long enough for them. But it is
better that the party should carry, in ad
dition to a supply of provisions, at least as
many wax candles as there are persons,
and a dozen or more of large torches, made
of twisted ropes covered with pitch or
resin. Owing to the vast size of the cave
the feeble light of candles only serves to
make the darkness more visible. Illumin
ating rockets or Roman candles would also I
he a valuable addition to the outfit.
From the village, which stands high up j
on the mountain side, a path (the road to I
Tasco) winds down the side of the valley j
toward the cave. Before entering this,
it is well worth the visitor’s while to go up
over and beyond it on the Tasco road, to
a point called Puente de Dois, or God’s
Bridge. This is a narrow ridge, scarcely
wide enougli for a foot path, between the
only material in which such a cavern could
have been excavated.
The view, as we emerge from the dark
ness into the twilight of the entrance, is
superb. The torches should be extin
guished or left behind as soon as the grow
ing light enables one to walk with certain
ty. A luxuriant plant covers the inner
slope of the earthy mound, far down under
the broad arch, each leaf instinctively
turning its broad surface toward the open
ing. The rays transmitted through these
leaves, aided by the overhanging forest,
impart to all the light which enters, a deep
blush green tinge, far superior in beauty
to any artificial illumination.
In the way of comparing this cave with
others of like extent, I can only speak
a glorious race of women which no other
land can show. I wish not to flatter them;
for before they can become this, they will
have to make earnest efforts of one or two
kinds. There are some who depreciate
their condition, and some who have a false
pride in it because they demand more con-
sideratiop than they merit. A want of
intelligence upon all subjects of the day,
and a refined education, are no more ex
cusable in a country than in a town-bred
to imitate it.

Dr. Livingstone gives a very interesting

between a lion and antelope. The Doctor

they heard an angry growl which they

to the service of the South,the interests of the State,
and to the support of the principles of the Demo
cratic Party. But the paper will not be so exclu
sively political, that its columns will only interest
the politician; nor so subservient to party as to
spare the misconduct of bad men; to betray princi
ple for the sake of nower, or to disguise its convic
tions at the suggestion of expediency.
I shall endeavor to commend it to intelligent
persons of all classes, by diligence in the collec
tion of news, by imparting something of agricul-
ral, commercial and literary interest to its columns,
and by venturing on outspoken and emphatic opin
ion on the topics of the day, no matter what the
hazard of conflict with prejudice or of offence to
the self-appointed leaders of party. The organ of
no clique, in the interi st of no faction, and with
no partial purpose to serve, the paper will address
itself to the honest judgment of the people, and for
support will rely upon their appreciation of energy
and enterprise and their love of plain talk and in
dependent opinion. There may be particular indi
viduals to whom this sort of discussion will not be
very acceptable, but if I can conciliate the favor
of the masses, I may survive the opposition of ig
norant or interested critics. No doubt servile spir
its will be shocked at my zeal in the defence of the
South; still 1 have the consolatory assurance that
there are pleuty of brave and true men in Virginia,
upon whose sympathy and support I may rely with
absolute security. And so believing, I embark up
on the enterprise, with no misgiving as to the re
sult.

back a prolonged and almost deafenin
echo. Turning away from this huge
amphitheatre you look down upon a swift
and turbed torrent, which bursts at once
! from the side of the mountain in the gorge
below. It is the passage of this stream
through the mountain and beneath the
spot where we are standing which has
given its appropriate name to the place.
It has also undermined the solid ledges and
caused the sinking which has just been
described. The river takes its rise near
the volcanoes of Tulea and enters the
mountain several miles from the spot where
it issues.
Returning to the place where the path
of the cove diverges from that to Tasco
we wind along the eastern side of the ra
vine a quarter of a mile, and then descend
by a steep path to the bottom, where it is
necessary to leave the animals, as the re
maining distance of a hundred yards is too
steep and rocky to admit the passage of
horses. A few of tiie dollars exacted
from the visitors, if judiciously applied to
the improvement of the path, would en
able parties to reach the entrance and en
camp within the cave itself—a most de
sirable improvement in the absence of
everything like accommodations at the
village.
Ascending obliquely the precipitious
western side of the ravine we reach the
mouth ofc the cave. Unlike most other
caverns the entrance of this is worthy of
the grandeur within. An arch as vast,
and almost as regular as that of the Rialto
at Venice, opens at once into the moun
tain. It is overhung by trees and crossed
by a ridge of earth and stones, the debris
of the hill above. Standing on this ridge
w e look down its inner slope to the level
floor of the cave and into the gathering
darkness, where the shadowy forms of spar
ry statues seem to beckon us on to the
from personal knowledge of the Grotte of under difficulties which would have dis
couraged any one but one who had as fond
a love for study.
I will state why I think the country girls
are yet to prove the hope of the country.—
The women in towns and cities are becom
ing so universally unhealthy and almost
universally extravagant, foolish and fash
ionable, that men are almost in despair of
obtaining wives who are not invalids, and
of providing them wliith what they want
after they have married them. Unless
the young man has the fortune (good or
bad) to possess wealth, he must spend the
best bloom of his youth in acquiring enough
to “start upon,” as people are expected to
to begin now-a-days. Men even in high
places, would go to the country for their
choice, if they met there equal refinement
and intelligence. YVomen are preparing
to take a noble stand in history, and they
cannot do it in ignorance.
Town girls have the advantage of more
highly polished manners and greater ac
complishment; but the country girls have
infinitely more to recommend them as rivals
of their city sisters. They have more
truth, household knowledge and economy,
health (and consequently more beauty)
simplicity, affection, and freshness of
impulse .and though.t W lien they have
cultivated minds, there are more chances
in their favor for good sence and real
ablility, because so much is not demanded
by the frivolities of society. The added
luster of foreign accomplishment could
easly be caught by such a mind from a verv
little contact with the world.
I would not speak as though our
farmers’ daughters aro deficient in educa
tion. Many brilliant scholars and talented
women are found amoung them; and in
New England this is especially so, but I
would seek to awaken the ambition of all
to become that admired and favored class
which they ought to be, if thfey will unite
refined culture with their most excellent
graces.
A sweet country home, with roses and
honeysuckles trained to climb over it; with
good taste, intelligence and beauty within,
toil enough to ceurt acquaintance with
books and flowers, and the lovliness of
nature; with peace, plenty and love, is
surely one of the paradises which Heaven
uas left for the attainment of men.”
this as in the famous Austrian grotte; but
there the finest spars are only met with at
a much greater distance from the entrance
than I had leisure to penetrate in the cave
of Cacahuamilpa. I have no doubt that in
the remote recess of the mountain, where
the deposition is still going on with vigor,
chambers may he found where all the
spars are as fresh and brilliant as in any
other cavern.
The branch of the cave from which the
river at present issues may also be entered,
and would doubtless afford new and varied
views of the wonders contained within this
mountain. In one respect the cave of Ca
cahuamilpa has a decided advantage over
its Austrian rival. By far the finest portion
of the latter is closed by a strong door and
locks against the plebian public, and only
opened when “royal imperial” eyes are to
gaze upon its aristocratic beauties. Cer
tainly there is no danger of such a misfor
tune happening to this magnificent cavern,
which needs only to be better known to
become one of the most popular attractions
of the Republic.
The time required to visit the cave from
the City of Mexico and return is six days.
The return route may be pleasantly va
ried without being lengthened, by taking
a guide at the village of Miacatlan and
visiting tho ancient ruins of Xochicalco,
near the Indian village of Tetlama.

girl, in this age of many books and newspa- forcst y. At tLe ^stance ot not more than
forty yards in advance of them, a gemsbok
stood at bay, while a huge tawny lion was
crouched on a rocky platform, above the
level of the plain, evidently meditating
an attack on the antelope; only a space of
about twenty feet seperaied the two animals.
The lion appeared to he animated with the
greatest fury ;the gemsbok was apparently
calm and resolute, presenting his well for
tified head to the enemy.
The lion cautiously changed his position,
descended to the plain and made a circuit,
obviously for the purpose of attacking the
gemsbok in the rear, but the latter was on
the alert and still turned his head toward
his antagonist. This maneuvering lasted
for half an hour, when it appeared to the
observers that the gemsbok used a stratagem
to induce the iion to make his assault. The
flank of the antelope was fora moment pre
sented to his fierce assailant. As quick as
lightning, the lion made a spring, but while
he was yet in the air, the gemsbok turned
his head, bending his neck so as to present
one of his spearlike horns at the lion’s
beast. A terrible laceration was the conse
quence; the lion fell back on his haunches
and showed a ghastly wound in the lower
part of his neck. He uttered a howl of rage
and anguish, and hacked off to a distance of
fifty yards, seeming half disposed to give up
the contest, but hunger, fury, or revenge
once more impelled him forward.
His second assault was more furious and
headlong: he rushed on the gemsbok, and
attempted to leap over the formidable
horns in order to alight upon his back. The
gemsbok, still standing on the defensive,
elevated his head, speared the lion in his
side, and inflicted what the spectators
believed to be a mortal wound, as the horns
penetrated to the depth of six or eight
inches. Again the lion retreated groaning
and limping in a manner which showed that
that he had been severely hurt, but he soon
collected all his energies for another attack.
At the instant of collision, the gemsbok
presented a horn so as to strike the lionim-
mediately between his two fore legs, and
so forceful was the stroke that the whole
length of the horn was buried in the lion’s
body. For nearly a minute the two
beasts stood motionless; then the gemsbok,
slowly Lacking, withdrew his horn, and the
lion tottpred and fell on his side, his limbs
quivering in the agonies of death. The
victor made a triumphant flourish of his
heels, and trotted od apparently without
having received the least injury in the con
flict.
