Tho email town of Dycusburg, in Kentucky, is situated on tho Cumber land river, and is, perhaps, one of the oldest settlements in Western Ken tucky. There is an old logend con uocted with tho place, which is so wiord fIU J th tilling that wo reproduce it, feel ji: that its narration will not fail to uxt-ito in tho reader a deep and woa !..;Tul into rest. Tho town itself is shelved in by :i rauga of bold and rug .-3 hills, which form a serai -circle, couniioneing and ending with tho riv and among these liills thoro are aweral recesses or grottoes, tilled with stone rubbish and tho decayed trunks 0 f Men timber, while on tho suburbs of the cluster of houses which consti tute tho village thoro vet stand tho ru ined and blasted relics of large old oaks, whoso gnarled boughs and storm rifled trunks indicate that they have been scathed by many a lightning’s blaJc and have braved many a thun der’s crash. They stand thoro as tho hoary monument of antiquity, and tell of tho ages that have roiled by them, emu leuviim its impress upon their wrinkled troches. lu.-t under the fn,w; ing side of one ol the barren hills, ami removed some distance from any regular road or beaten path, thoro stands a cabin, now crumbling with decay, which was tho first structure erected in tire neighborhood for tho habitation of the wliito man, and which, no doubt, often sheltered from the pitiless storms of winter tho settler who built it, and, perhaps, many a time afforded protection to his wifo and little onos from the savago wolves and snarling panthers that often howled and screamed among tho tangled ma ws of' undergrowth which still fringes tho marsh closo by. This habitation is now occupied by an old woman whoso life is to many a mystery, and whoso history is only sufficiently known to be involved in obscurity.— the has small, cramped features, large eyes, thin visage and emaciated form, which, combined with a woful, hag gard look, are not a little calculated to excite a painful interest in tho mind of a stranger who meets her. Her voice is truly an. unnatural one, and sounds as if it proceeded from iron lips rather than those of flesh. Its cold, keen, sepulchral tone falls upon the ear like metal upon the floor of a vault. Strange storios are told of tho oil woman, but more of this anon. A dingy dress, tattered with long wear, torn in many places by repeated con tact with biiars and brambles, togeth er with an old brown shawl, constitute her usual dress, while a long-used red handkerchief, with tho ends raveled into shreds, affords the only protection for her head, even when she wandors forth in storm and rain. She occupies the hut alcne ; and whenever a visitor attempts to invade the precincts of her loneliness, she slinks away into tho darke at corner of tho rude apartment, a.-, if she wished to avoid the scrutiny of the human eye.* Near this dilapidated hovol there stands a 6mall brick tenement, whoso wall, so long uutenanted, have begun to ladder and decay. The roof has grown so rickety, mauy of the old oak shingles having been blown off by the wind, that rain anil Irani and snow in vade tho inmost recesses of tho build -1:1g, and, indeed, so complete fs tho havoc wrought by time, that the ru ined vtdls now afford almost tho only protection from either wind or rain.— No one, or at least but few, ever visit this mollering tenement, and those wh u are familiar with its history would greatly prefer breasting tho coldest 'last and braving tho most angry !u than to taking advantage of the T'tial shelter it affords. Everything about it seems bleak ainl desolate. — haturo, it appears., has forever with drawn from tiie spot her gifts of ever rjrooiis and flowers. A gray, rusty-' looking vine, creeping along tho ru-1 iood wall, furnishes tho only appear- j of anything like ornamental torubbery about tho premises, and an o.d rose-bush standing in tho south ' a tern corner of tho chimney, which produces but onu rose and that blood j bis the only flower that has ever 11 eii known to blossom thoro. A dark splotch upon the romnant of tho de layed oak floor, on which tho rays of ■a; ‘ua or moon fall at certain hours _ Tie d ß y or night, with an indistinct ■‘uu mottled radiance, tolls perhaps tho M crot of the utter loneliness of the do “‘-fted spot. : -o story goes that a young man, 1 i° passed by the r.amo of Percy Cor-i " 1!: ! came hum Virginia year? ago!

Thero ' something mysterious about him j ; u ' j lias nover yot boon explained- i , ® polished manners, cultivated mind bandaonjo features indicated clear- ! , aat hu was of high birth and ex-!

A young man so j ;‘ Uta \> so calculated for an uruamont ‘-‘Society, and with the holds of pleas- j '' or ambition before him, would: oaid.y have thus isolated himself from | jrorld to take up his permanent 1 v ' <o this then wilderness without I )t!ie extraordinary incentive. No one' j laH cver been able to loam anything, • ' ever, of hi 6 histoi-y ; and his brief f’ 30 peculiar and melancholy in character, remains yet to be ac »> !!! i *'° r ' old settlers say that n bo came to this State his face wns remarkably blight, his oyo of a mm blue, indicating a gentle disposi tion, but at times possessing a wild and unnatural expression, which v, as anything but pleasant to the beholder, while liib lips, from thoir compression, evinced both courage and resolution 110 was often seen wandering alone, musing abstractedly, no doubt, upon somo dread secret which lay at tho bot tom of his heart. A faithful clog fol lowed him whorover ho went by day and guarded him when he slept at night. Towards tho close of his short lil'o, though tho country had become much more donsely settlod than when ho arrived, he was rarely soon oven by liis neureot neighbors, and when seen was often roaming over somo distant lull, mounted on the beautiful black mare which it was supposed hud borno him from his distant homo on the Chosapeako. He would often take long trips, and even the old man, who was the sole remaining oc cupant of lus dwelling, could not or would not toll whero ho had gone. Af ter awhilo newspaper reports were published of a daring young highway man, who was sometimos soon near Henderson and Louisvillo, whero some very bold robberies had been com mitted upon planters who had carried thoir tobacco to market and wore re turning to their homos. Though he often indulged tliis lawless propensity, it was said that ho was remarkably generous to a fallen foe, and was so courteous and eliivulrie in lus bearing towards ladies that on ouo occasion at least ho failed to insist upon tho deliv ery of an old gentleman’s purse when importuned by a timid, frightened maiden who was being conducted by her father to a school in Henderson. Thore is a proclamation extant among the old records oik. tho State offering one thousand dollars lor his capture, “dead or alive.” But his floet and faithful animal often bore him swiftly and safely Hum every pursuing foe, and so adroit was he in all his opera tions that tho daring young robber and the landlord of“ Corbin flail,’’for that was tho name of liis residence, wore never suspected of being ono and the same person. lie was ever watch ful, however, whilo at homo ; and, al though he retained ail tho genial hos pitality for which his native State was so remarkable, ho was extremely cau tious whom he admitted to liis house. To his credit, be it said, bo never was known to violate the sacredness of hos pitality in any instance by demanding the porso of his guest. Ono stormy night in December, when tho winds blew chill and damp, and when the cold rains foil in tor rents, two travelers —the one a healthy, robust man and tho other appearing to be a delicate invalid—approached his houso and begged for shelter for tho night. Tho largo, athletic man said that his friend was an invalid whom he was conducting from some county in Tonnossce to the home of an uncle living in Missouri, where he con templated spending some time for his health, and, being caught in tho terri ble storm, they lost their way amid the darkness of tho night, and had wandered accidentally to his residence. The young man coughed and appeared quito ill, and, being drenched in tho cold, driving rain, Corbin generously admitted the worn, pale-faced youth and his companion to his fireside and tendered them every attention which his well provided houso afforded, — Food was prepared, and a large fire kindled in tho comfortable room pre pared for their lodging. Though Corbin suspected no treach ory from those weary-looking and shivering strangers, his faithful dog Dash continued to eye them closely, and an occasional growl would escape him. Ho would walk around the room, in which ho was accustomed to free admission, and, while the stran gers sat talking with his master, ap peared rostless and angry. Whenev er he approached near the visitors his deep growl would indicate that ho did not like thoir presence. So annoying did ho become, and so apprehensive did the visitors seem lest ho might suddenly spring upon them, that his master finally ejected him from .ho room with a kick. After being thus drivon from the presence of the three, the faithful animal would wander i about the yard, and, though the storm 1 continued to rage fearfully, his hoarse i voico could bo heard above the oie ! meats as he would hov 1 most piteous ly ; and occasionally would attempt to gain admission to tho apartment where tho three continued to talk. Tho hour for retiring having ar- : rived, however, Mr. Corbin conducted j : the strangers to thoir room, which was | adjoining his own. and, after seeing j all their wants supplied, retired. The ( ' cotinued howling of his dog, however, kopt him awake for some time, audit was not until a late hour that ho closed his oye3 in sleep. He had taken the 1 precaution to examine his arms caro tullv and had fastened securely the door which separated the travelers aud himself- , , | ft was but a short tune, however, I before ho wa3 aroused by a noise in ' the adjoining room, and m a moment i more one of the strangers knockod at the dividing door, saying that hm ! friend was dying with a congestive I ague, and begged that he would far ! nfsh some brandy in order to roheve : him if possible. j Corbin sprang out of bed and open led the door without pausing to thing Jof what late he might meet. And as * goon as this was done the two ruffians, -both armed, sprang upon him with large, trenchant, denth-Wmg bowie : knives. He clutched the larger man !

In a mo rontt mere poor Corbin foil to tho floor, w: h his warm blood spurting from several ghastly wouuds. He lay weltering in the pool, his long hair clotted with his own lifo-curront and the film of death gathering ovor his large blue eyes. lls turned his drooping head, and looking upon the bony, powerful fig ure of his cowardly antagonist as it bent ovor him, cursed him bitterly. His last words and his dying look were not, however, for bis foes, ne hoard the gloating exultation of his treacherous enemies, but ho heeded it not. His thoughts returned to homo and tho lovod ones there. Ho spoke of a mother, a sister, und.“anolktr, not a sister, in tho happy days gone by.” As he splashed in the topid stream during his death agony the visions of childnood, the sad, silent figures of j those distant but dear onos whose car- ■ rcsses ho had reccivod rose before his dim vision and [*eopied his clouded mind “Hin ovot» were with hisheurt. Auu that wits far away.” Ho cared not for his life, but on tho bank oi the stream where he had spor ted in childhood thore lived thoso who loved him, and here ho was butchered in a wilderness, far away from kind red and friends Perhaps ho had lov ed and was bolovod ; and it may hava been that he thought of the eyes that have since grown dim watehing for tho lover that cama not and th e heart that was true even to a robber ! All this may have rusliod out with the last rod drops that fell from his ghas tly wounds. Though many have execrated liis raomory and sneered at ,his caroer, there is one who knows where his grave is; and weeps upon it and lurks around it when tho black storm rages and the rain falls and tho fierce winds howl as they did the night of the murdor ! Tho faithful dog is long sinco gone, and the lover maiden is gono too, but one still lives. Tho heavens become inky with clouds, the thundors poal, the light nings flash, tho hail pelts against the old walls, and the wild blast almost boars the old woman upon its airy bo som, but the crazy mother yet visits that grave where her robber boy ilies, and visits it oftenest when tho 6torm is fiercest and tho night darkest. She may be soon to-night crouching undor the crumbling walls, and by the fire flies’ light glares at the dark-splotched floor, stainod by tho blood of her rob ber boy. Her eyes, glazed with fren zy, have no tears now, and her lip no color to lose, but tho tears flow in her heart and a ghastly light shines in her withered face. Her feet sopietiraos bleed after walking through the bria ry path, and the tangled bamboos tear the crumbled skin of her airy and vis ionary limbs, but still she goes; and when the spring comes she gathers from the stony clofts the first and daisies to scatter over the grave of her robber boy. Kiltie in Utc Corner. A little bright-eyed, laughing boy sits on his mother’s knee, and beg her to tell him a story, so closilv snugged up in the Home Corner. The moth er’s arms clasp her treasure, and they rocked together in the old-fashion, high-backed rocking-chair. Kitty comes, ooaxingly brushes a gainst mamma’s dress, as if she would like to join the happy party, so she is allowed to creep up under mamma s other arm, for which kindness her gratitude is so gTcat that she com mences a purring iittlo tune of hor own and shut her eyes in contentment. Is it not strange tha* Kitty always waits until she has eaten her break fast before sho washes her face ? If little boys and girls did so they would not be called neat or well man nered. Would it not be strange if all the generations of eats following an an cient cat had profited by its experien ce ? Do not believe it,bccauso that would allow that cats are wiser than people, for who of us profit by tho experience of those who lived before us ? Still we will toll you the story of that Kitty, and you can do as you please about believing it- One (lay, a great, great many years ago, an old cat caugut a fat tempting rat, and settling herself to rest after tho chase, and enjoy a good dinner packing its bones. Tho rat, intent upon saving its life, asked tho cat why s', e did not wash her faeo before eating, as everybody did who was well bred, whereupon the eat thought sbo would try the experiment meanwhile enjoying the anticipations of her feast. So she dropped the rat, and while sho was bathing her face and combing hor whiskers with her paws, tha vat scampered away, laugli- j ing at the joke on the cat, which hua , thus lost her dinnor. j In this way it occurs that taeso who are ready to listen to advice from every quarter without considering the motives of tlioso who give it often find thorn selves dupes and un willing servants oi others’ wishes. Before tho cat could recover from her astonishment the rat had got safe ly away to its hole. Fide, the house dog wagged his tail and laugheu at, the cat, saying, ' You wero more nice tii en wise that time to which the cat replied, “Too true, Mr. lido; hero after I’ll teach my family to eat first and wash their facee afterwards. bo it happens that all of that cat’s kittens, and kittens, kittens honor the lesson taught by the old cat. Is this not a good lesson to remem ber that those who have opposite in | terests from our own aro not the best I ones from whom to seek advise if we I with to fveceed ?—£h* Orb».

True dignity is never lowered by politeness to tho humblest in station, yot many, mauy purso-proufl or uatur al'y domineering spirits forgot to bo polite, excepting to those considered equals. The feelings of tho poor laborer are often wounded by orders, rebuffs and snubs, and thus hurt, their feet and hands almost rofuso to perform tho service which want and necessities of life compel them to undeitake. A smile and kind word would make their hearts glad and their work soom light. It is indeed hard to perform thank loss tasks under a rod of severity and haughty, wicked man-oroated prido, which never “stoops towards sym pathy and encouragement to the toi lor,” but yet stoops to meanness and oppression a truly noblo soul abhors. It costs so little to be kind, and brings such rich reward that it is strange so few invest. “If you please” and “thank you" are too charily bestowed, oxcept in society where people assume an exter ior polishod up for the occasion. There fs a class, however, who nev er speak harshly to inferiors in mind, poekot or position ; they are tho real gentlemen and lcxfiea v. V. bless the world. Genuine people ol refinement who, though years of elavating influ ence have attained a standard where they do not fear to treat everybody with a gentle kindness and a degree of familiarity which oncouragos the humblest creature and diffuses happi ness. Upstarts and would be some bodies, who parade a spurious pride lest somebody will not call them qual ity, are the people who are most se vere with tho sc beneath them in sta tion. Ignorant and coarse, they have only money to give them precedence, and many times those who do them menial service, stand far above them in the type of human excellenco by which God measures each of us at last- There are comforts, however, of which only our own actions can rob us, among which is the conciousncss of doing our duty, and if we have that, tho rudeness and unkindness of others eannot tako away the self-res pect which sustains noble spirits un der heavy burdens which otherwise could hardly be borne. —Elm Oi lon.

A INigliC on VoMUvioiiH During mi Er&ipltou, The Boston J onrnal reprints tho fol lowing very interosting account of a night passed on Mont Ye.suvious dur ing an oruption, from the Naples and Florence Observer of April 15. Tho writer Mr. F. L. Capon, of Boston, pre ilicted this eruption, and tho editor of tho Obsorvi r givos his testimony to tho general correctness ol the weather pre dictions ol Mr. Capen: “This was, by far, tho most thrilling and eventful night of my life. My in terest in the volcano hud been raised tc enthusiasm by the outbreak of its torrent of lava on tho evening of the ,3d inst., against the opinions of exper ienced rosidents. During a late \Alk on that magnificent road, the Corse Vittoria Emanuole, which overlooks tho finest city and bay, and tho most charming scenery I ever bohold, I hoard, on the evening of the Bth,’a suc cession of violent explosions from the crater, the distauco being about twolve miles. Similar reports were frequent on tho morning ol the 9tb, and in tho afternoon a party of us—among whom wore Mr. W. \V. Gri-scom, a sound scholar and scientist from Plfiladel pbia, and his pupil, Master 8. C. Stan ton, of Boston, now a resident of Lon don—started for the scene. To omit tho amusing incidents of tho journey, we reachod the stream of lava before sunsot and tho summit boforo dark. We had a close view of the now cra ter, at the foot of tho great cone, w hich, having no accumulation of ejected matter, i. e., no cone oi stone and ashes, shows clearly liow it was first formed. A thick bed of solid rocks seems to have boon rent by the pent-up forces beneath, and forced upward into a vortical position, like the jaws of a monster —broad at the baso and tapering at ilio top. Throo or four of these vast rocks from the chimney, through which pours vol ums of steam and smoke, roaring flamoo and lava, with great violence, as if from a mighty conflagration un dor intense pressure below. Our par ty were in lias to to descend, as tho night drew on; but 1 was not satisfied, and, being on the ground, I resolved to stay till morning ; and 1 was well re paid for my troublo and privation. It is impossible to do justice to such a subject in a brief article. There aro really threo seporato throats, so to spoak, from tho depths below, quite distinct in their modo of action. Two are within the main crater at the sum mit, and on a line with tho now one above-named, which is near the north base of tho summit, or apex cono, and whoso action T Lotto iVmiilwd. Xhe mid He throat or register is tho .only one that was violent in its action, and through tho night, at longer intervals, it was terrific. After brief periods of rest it broke forth again, with a tre mendous explosion, ua sudden and in tense as that of tho heaviost cannon, but many, many times vaster and grander, as if a magazine of powder or nitro-glyceriuo had suddenly been ig nited far down in tho deep bowels of tho earth. Somotimoa one, oftener several reports, came in quick success ion. Sometimos the first was loudest, but often tho second and third reports followed with increasing rapidity and violoncc and with much greater inten sity than the first. At all the explo sions of this oponing immense volloys of glowing stones and rod-hot cinders wore thrown to tho height of from 100 to 200 foot, spreading into magnificent bouquets of groat brilliancy, many of those stones, some oflargo size, falling outside tho crater and rolling down tho coug in glowing fragments to its base. Sometimes tho explosion wore preceded by subtorranoari rumbling far down in tbo deep cavoms of tho mountain, ac companied by a trembling of tho solid frame to its very base. The action of the third spout or reg ister was wholly different from tbo oth er two. There was no violent explo sion, as of pent-up power, as injtlio case of that just described, though, like that,- its delivery was fitful; blow ing out at intervals, and never uni form, continuous and unoxplosive, liko the first described new crater outside the coue, whose flow was a copious compressed volume of smoko and tfame, as from a well-fed furnace, and with no noise, except that of the constant roaring of tho flames. This third reg- t i-.ter made a great blowing noise, like | an immense fuse, and very much liko the noibo of au ascending rocket of immense proportions. It threw out volumes of black smoke and groat bou quets of glowing cinders, but with much less violence than its companion, as ii tho opening wore much larger— so f much larger in proportion to its Jischurgo as to divest it of all explo sive violence. I should rogar-l this as tbo old and nearly spent crater. There aro many other very interosting topics that should be noticed in this connec tion, but I havo already intruded too far, both ou your 6pur.e and tho pa tioiico of cur readers. The Wesleyan newspaper publish ed at Syracuse, N. Y., declares that tho only remedy for the difference of races among American citizons is amalgamation. Tho white race must become darker and the dark race whiter,” or a bloody conflict must en duro as long as America shall exist. Can this be done by Coustitutiouaal Amendments ? If Grant rode a donkey in a circus, as his venerated parent said he did, what will Mr. Darwin say was the connection between them ? How would General Washington have looked in a mustache and a pair of side whiskers ? The query may be painful, but it U interesting The Dawson Journal. ADVERTISING RATES : HO. BQGABES. out HOSTS.
