Brightly it silvers the clouds which ate o’er us;
Nightly it lights up t|ro pathway before at.
See yon that calm and BUjestical river,
Stealing on tranquilly, ever and ever—
Beautiful always, in sunshine. <& shadow,.
Breasting the tempaet or kissing the meadow—
Bountiful, too, in its musical flowing;—
Source of the green which beside it is glowing,
Soul of the woods which so verdantly bound it;
Seed of the flowers which _ajs laughing around it.
Dedrfaatliat rivbrflows onward and onward,
Forcing the Seeds of fertility sunward,
So bos the current of love for you glided;
Brightening the yean which are gathered beside it;
Clothing their forms With a raiment of purple;
Gracing their bands wlth.the laqrel and myrtle ;
Making each hour, which in quiet reposes.
Break into beauty and blush into rosea.
-Surely that stream has a lesson fur lovers,
o*r itasilver clad sisterhood hovers.
Birds which, illuming the proximate grasses,
feck into dimples the wave as it passes.
Birds which fulfil their predestinate duty.
Lending their hoes to complexion of beauty,
Bright in]"the morning, or dark in the even,

Thus, a* cjhr love hurries on to Us ending,
Beautiful things with Its beauties are blending,
1 ancles which rest in the years hy it, dreaming
Siivor-clad thoughts which are constantly gloaming,
Oriels whljh, at evening, the shadow enhances, '
Breaking to joys os tbs morning advances,
Hope fur yte future, and fomTrecollectlon,
Golden-lined guardians of human affection.
What, if some casual wing of ill omen
Glides o'er the wave like the shade of the Qnomen,
What if the song-birth! at times have been wearied,
What if the sunshine-has not tapn unvaried,
What if the buds of our spring, which, departed,
Loft os in solitude weak and sad-hearted,
What it wo sometimes have moments of weeping
Over the little ones death has set sleeping.
Let them sleep on; there uo dreams in their slumbers,
Soothed by the angels’ most musical numbers;
Lit by the light of a greatness supernal,
Blest by the bliss, which alone is eternal.
Let them sleep on ; tbey are happy ns,
Death cannotmake them unable to love ns;
Weap uot for babes which are benisons o’er ns;
Grieve not btcaiiae they are happy before us!
Come to me, darling one; nearer and nearer—
Time only renders you dearer and dearer;
Grief has no chill for the love which is truthful;
Years as they roll find it brilliantly youthful—
Steadfastly scorning a moment of ranging—
Changed around leave affection unchanging;
Brightly it silvers the clouds which arc o'er ui;
Nightly it lights up the pathway before us I

one hundred feet high. On its. hate .sides
neither grass Sox shrub was'to her seep*
and scarce any inequality was visible, on
which the foot of the climber might find s

scalable for a distance of two miles, when
it sunk down gradually at either end to
the level of the plain. Ascending the
cliff, one beheld on the summit a wide
plain, stretching off in the distance from
the sharp edge of the precipice, and from
that dizzy point could look down upon the
works of the miners below, close under its
sides. .

‘l.
about a year ago in our family.
My'only brother, a lad of fifteen, had gone
out early On a summer morning to shoot
Eloyer the heights, and from that hour
adf nearer been heard of. When last seen
■he was mounting the cliff from the east
ern ifiide,' and though (when alarmed at his
long delay) we made immediate search and
inquiry; we never gained further informa-
OTp apeak of our family distress and
my pwn heart-grieving for my well-belov
ed brother,' is not now my purpose j but it
was the only subject of my thoughts on
that qhiet summer evening, when all the
noisip from the works was hushed, and the j
stillhess seemed tenfold by contrast.
I approached very near the edge of the
cliff; I was now at its steepest part, and
looking down its smooth sides, I thought
hoy: terrible the fall would be; but my
brother could not have fallen down. In
thatioase’his mangled body, at least, would
have been found.
I jwap. recalled to myself by a strange
sinking;of my feet. My first confused'idea
was that; the soil had given way from the
edge; of the cliff, upon whose utmost verge
I stood,; and that I was about to be precip-
tp (he bottom. I became diezy with
horror,, for I felt at once that I could not
recover myself, so sudden was the caving
in of the: earth beneath me. I made one
stumble! forward, felt a ringing and crush
ing.in my ears, and then I lost all further
sensation.;
Itrndst have been many hours before I
was suffieieutly conscious to know that I
still existed Sick and bruised, I was long
unable tej praise myself from the prostrate
position in which I became aware at last,
that | wasjying. It was quite dark, and
every portion of earth or stone that I
touched Was wet, and a snaOH of damp salt
pervaded the close atmosphere. I thought
I hadxfallen into an exhausted silt mine,
but Soojd’ remembered that I had bten
standing pn the edge of the cliff. It was
an impossibility. Then came the idea
that I must have-fallen to the bottom and
the loose earth and stones had fallen over
me. That, too, I soon found .equally-un
likely, ahd after groping about some time
on my hands and knees, (every movement
one of intense agony) I became sdre that
my prison was a cave of some extent. Too
weak to niove further, I lay down and en
deavored to think of my position. It seem
ed a hopeless one. I was certainly in one
■of those; caves formed in the salt rocks,
and sometimes found by miners, running
far below the earth’s surface. I had no
idea how far 1 had fallen ; it might be but
a few fept j it might be many hundred. As
yet I jCOuld find no trace of the passage
through which I had dropped, but I re
membered that I had a case of matches in
“J pocket, and it was not long before I
succeeded "in dragging them out, though
■it wasj excruciating pain to my bruised
limbs to move them.
Haying no taper, I determined to be
very eyeful of the .matches, and to im
prove the short moment of light, during
which I one would last, I rubbed it very
carefully against the sole of my boot, then
harder, then furiously—but it would not
ignito l Then X tried another with po bet
ter success. They were too damp—every
thing Was damp; the matches were use
less. With a foin.t hope of drying them
in time, I put the box into my breast, and
buttoned my vest over it. What with my
foilmelin procuring a light, and the pain
of my jbrulses, added to my terror andbe r
wlldermebt of mind, I suffered intensely.
Through all, it became clear to me that
instead of foiling over I had fallen through
the cliff—|-strange as it was that hollow
groand. shopld occur so ncar the edge with
out the external Wall of the cliff caving in
towards it,; The space through which I
had fallen! must have been narrow, for my

covered this, I became more collected and
resolute, and forced myself to a calm re
view of my position. I -Bad to acknowl
| edge to myself that my only chance of
escape seemed the hole or crack through
which I had fallen; but no ray of light
betrayed that spot—earth and stories must
have fallen and choked it up. Parching
with thirst, and faint from bodily injuries
I was almost at the point of despair, when
a distant sound fell upon my car._i. I lis
tened with intense attention. Soon, more
and more distinctly, I recognized the noise
of machinery, the rumbling of carts, and
the voices of men-; then a bell rang, and,
with a throb of joy, I recognized the mor
ning summons to the laborers in the works.
A night only could have passed-since my
leaving the outer world, llad they missed
me? Alas! there was nothing to lead
them to suspect the spot of my captivity.
I thought of the strange disappearance of
my young brother—this double bereave
ment would kill ray poor mother; but
still I was comforted by the knowledge
that only a partition of rock separated me
from my fellow-men. Now I could almost
distinguish their voices. I felt that it was
vain to hope that my calls and shouts
could be heard by them, yet I could not
forbear shouting till I was quite exhausted.'
Then I reflected the means I could find
of digging away the barrier of rock It
could not be thick—l knew that by my
faculty in hearing sound, And concluded
that, as I had fallen close to the edge of
the cliff, I had sunk straight down to the
level of the valley at its foot, and possibly
the wall of my prison was not more than
two or three feet in thickness. But I had
no implement save my knife, and that was
a slender one, quite inadequate to cutting
a passage through even the soft and damp
salt rock which formed the partition.—
Suddenly I remembered having picked up
a heavy iron ox shoe on the road, during
my Sunday walk. It was still in my pock
et. With what joy I pulled it out, and com
menced eagerly my work.
X. will not detail the agonies of those
days arid nights, when I worked os in the
darkness, sometimes encouraged, some
times nearly hopeless. I could not find that
I made any visible progress ; and sounds
were nearer than at first, and I was grow
ing hourly more exhausted- from fatigue
and burning thirst, The salt air of the
cave inflamed my eyes, parched my skin,
and excoriated my throat, and often I had
a horrible idea that I should go mad; I
had wound up my watch five times, there
fore it most have been the sixth day —de-
liverance as far off as ever. I had been
trying to loosen a fragment of rock which
seemed somewhat detached from the stra
ta, (this I could only judge by my feel
ing-,) If I succeeded, I should much re
duce the thickness of the barrier at that
point, but I had to stop and rest for the
final triril. I ugain tried my matches. —
I had constantly done so hitherto, but
without success, and few remained; but
now the third one that I tried gave forth
a light smoke, then a blue flame, arid final
ly a clear red light. I held it carefully
and beheld the cavern in which I was im
mured. It was a small one, and sparkling
from the saline crystals, as if studded in
geme. Opposite to me wap a ( darfe object,
on. a projection of the shelving rock, and
bearing a similarity to the outline of a hu
man figure. I lifted high the expiring
matqh, and by its last ray. I saw a human
face.
In a frenzy of impatience I tried a few
remaining matches, in vain; the last one
was in my hand ; more carefully I drew it
over the sand-paper; it burned only for an
instant; but in that instant, holding it di
rectly even with the body, I recognized
the dead, pale face of- my poor, dost bro
ther Henry.
I was again in darkness, with the dead
body and my frenzied thoughts. After a
time I resumed fiercely my labor at the
rock. A few more blows loosened it; a
few more and the large mass rolled in
wards, and from a fissure in the rock which
lay behind it, came inji narrow streak of
daylight. I was almost mad, or 1 would
not have had sufficient strength to effect
my purpose.
By the aid of my ox-shoe, I soon in
creased the hole, till it was large enough
to admit my head My shouts soon brought
assistance from the works, to which, as I
■had Supposed, I was very near, and soon
from that fearful tomb were drawn the li
ving and the dead bodies.
No one knew me til! X spoke. The body
of poor Hepry had beep preserved by the
spit, and was also partly-petrified. That
he had been killed hy thefallwas evident,
ahd had never inoved from: the ridge on
which he fell. ;I pever entirely recovered
from the effect of tbpsalli, which left my
eyes and Pose constantJy red, and render
ed my flesh ever' Piter similar to corned
pork. - "

Gen. PoebUta entered the town of Ayo,
iu September last, be Exacted a forced
loan from the people, andba share of it fell
upon the curate of the place. Theourate
acted as though he would pay, but he did
not make hia appearance #t the point des
ignated for payment, and Gen. Pneblita
ordered him tv be arrested. A party of
men went to his'dwelling and knocked at
j the door; there was no and they
broke in. They found no one in toe
bouse, and were about to leave it, wheii
they heard a frightful voice, proceeding
from the ground, saying, lam hungry !”
The officer in command went back to
Gen. PuebUta and told him about the
voice. The General appointed a commis
sion to examine the house.' This commis
•sion wfcnt to the curated dwelling, and,
after a careful examination, they found a
moveable stone in the floor, and under
this was a stairway - leading down to a
vault, which was entirely dark, and had
no connection with the -air, save by the
staircase, and a small hole that served as
a ventilator. In this vault some books, a
few articles of furniture, and a woman
who had been shut up there for eighteen
years. She was taken to Gen. Pueblita’a
quarters. When brought; into, the light,
where she saw a number of persons, she
fainted. After she,had returned to her
senses, a thousand questions were asked
of her, to whioh she replied only that she
bad been buried in that vault for eighteen
years, without going out for a moment;
that she had been married, and had chil
dren by her husband, but she knew noth
ing of their fate; that,.while imprisoned
in the vault, she .had children by the cu
rate, but she knew nothing of what had
become of these children £ and after say
ing this much she obstinately si
lent. While this was passing, a sergeant
of the PuebUta Brigade, thfen present, dis
covered that this woman was hia mother,
and she recognized him as her son and
embraced him. The son 1 then ran to his
father, who came and recognized his wife.
The husband, fifteen years ago, was im
prisoned three years undercharge of hav
ing murdered his wife, this woman.
