She- was led into society, and they tried by all klbds of occupation and aniusemeutto dissipate her grief, and wean her from the tragical story of her lover. But lt;Was all in vain. There' are, some strokes of calamity which- scathe add scorch the soul—which penetrate t> the vital seat Of happiness—and blast it, never agatnrtb put forth bud or blossom. She never objected to frequent the haunts of nleaaure. bdt was as much alone there us in tbe depths of solitude walking about ln sad reverie, apparently ‘udepn: acinus of.the world around her. > She car ried with her an inward Voe that mocked at all the blandiahmenla of-friendship, and "heeded'uotthe song ofthecharmer, charm he noTersO wisely." Thepersou who told me her. story had seen her at a masquerade. There can be no exhibition of far gone wretchedness more striking and, painly than to must it iu such a scene, Tdrflnd' it 1 wandering like spectre, lonely autj.joyless; where nil around is gay—to see it dfesSed out id Mi«», trappings of mirth,' and 'looking so wan ana woe begone; as if it bad tried In vain'to cheat the poor heart into a mo mcntary lorgetfulncaa ofabrrow. After; strolling through the splendid rooms add giddy Crowd with au air of utter abstract liuu, she sat herself down on the steps of an .orchestra, and, lobbing about for some time wilh'a vaoantalr;< ttml abowed her Insensibility to the garnish scene, she began, with tne capribiousuess.ofusiobly heart, to warble a> little plaintive air Slie had an exquisjtq.pVoice but on this occasion It was so simple; Bb toubtiluv, it brvulliad fortii such a soul of. wretched lies*, that she drew.acrdWdmutti and si lent arouud her, dud melted every one into tears. : Tfao titpry of one aotriieaud tender could'uoi but exiiite gr*at : ,iutereat In a cuunfry reoiarkublo for euttiusluvin.

Hbe was an amiable and exemplary wife, and made an effort td' be a bappy one; but nothing could curO tbe aUent and devour lug melaucuoly that hadenlered Into ber very soul. She wasted away in a slow but hopeless decline, and at length sank into tbe grave, the victim of a broken heart.' . it was On ber! that Moore, the tlislin guished'lrisb poet, composed the follow ing lines. Uhe Is far from the land wberC her yomiß hero ' Bleeps, ’ " And lovers around her are sighing. ‘But coldly sho tarns from theirgaio, and weeps, . For her hearts in his grave is lying..

To the Editor of tho Cincinnati Commcr- dal A ride from New Orleans up the Mis sissippi In that roydl craft, the Great Be publio, gave tne an opportunity of be coming acquainted with Jefferson Davis. Be came aboard at Vicksburg, and pro ceededas far as Memphis, and Iu conse quence of (be leakage of otae of the boil era and a delay at the mouth of White River, the. journey was prolonged - lor four days, V , , At Greenville, Mississippi, where the boat arrived on Sunday lust, the news spread that. "President Davis” was on ,boardf.aud'a crowd of nearly one hun dred persons,eagerly rushed to the cabin to have a look, or more fortunately, to get d shake of tbe handfrom their for mer cbleltalu Thesame thjug was re peated wbeu.the bout stopped at Helena, Arkansas. It was noticeable that many colored persons displayed ns much inter-, est and enthusiasm as the white people, and seemed,equally gratified to get a lew kindly words irom the man about whom snob extraordinary associations cluster ed. . I bad . not before seen Davis I had pictured him as tall, bony and cadaver ous. All the engravings and photo graphs given to the public make these characteristics more prominent than his real appearance Justifies. His height is a little, if any, above tbe average. His face is well shaped, with regular features, - Ills nose being --ueillier so prominent, nor bo emphasized uK<-man, as Is usually conveyed by bis photographs. The low er pari of bis face is small, not indicating tue pushing, aggressiveor bulHlke quali- ties often noticeable in the contestants of tbe political arena, but, on the contra* ry, indicuting a delicate organization,.an amiable disposition and general culture* It is not h fact expressive of genius or greatness. His eyes are blue, and, not withstanding that tbe left eye is defec tive, and almost visionless, add to the mildness of his face.. His hair is quite grey, as are bis thin whiskers and beard, and hiii mustache, which is exceedingly sliorc, is almost white. r The tones of bis voice are plSosunt, and hla speech is de the rate and measured—a quality seldom possessed by one who is uota natural or trained orator. In t-ome important respects,, especially;. in the tones ol bis voice and bis manner ,of speech, be Is almost-a counterpart of* Judge Leavitt, of this city, save that he is fully ten years younger than the Judge. Davis’s manner is exceedingly quiet and unobtrusive. He does not appear to seek notoriety, tut rather to avoid it. and the attemlone'puid him were received In as undemonstrative a way as they might be were be sfmp[y a well-bred country gen tleman, instead of having been the politi cal head abd frobt of the most memora ble civil couvulalonthe world bus yet witnessed. He is a man whom accident has forced Into a position of factitious prominence. 1 The quality that makes and marks a leader among men, some times called “personally,’' “individuali ty,” ‘'character,that something which Impresses the mind into the mood of bis mind, and' carries you along with him,, this Davis dbes not possess. Davis's health has greatly improved since his release from confinement. His friends who saw him during the trou bled and .anxious times of loutf, IBtj3 and jhiu, expressed their surprise ami grati fication at the market improvement in his appearance and general health*. DAVIS AND THE ASSASSINATION PLOT The four days’ travel on board the Great Kepub lu gave me the opportunity of inquiring of Davis about certain mat ters connected with the rebellion of winch the true'history has yet to be wriuen; and not least among them, his alleged complicity in the plot to assassinate ■President Lincoln. Davis said that, owing to the closeness of his confinement at Fortress Monroe, and his subsequent travels, he hud not even read whui had been alleged against him. The testimony sworn to at the trial of the conspirators before the Military Com mission at. Washington, and which ia still credited by tens of thousands of poi sons in the North, is, in brief us follows: Testimony of Lewis F. Bates, a wit ness for tbe prosecution, May 30; IWW, us published in the official rep ri: “I reside in Charlotte, North Carolina, whtue I have resided a little over imir years.

A Thrlllloff CxperlenM, I A correspondent of the New York Re | public writing from the “North Woods," I tells the fallowing story; At the foot of the Lower Cedar, about fifty yards from the shore, is a small and low, rooky Island, not more .than thirty feet In diameter, having a lew shrubs growing upon It, with a single soriibhy spruce aud a young mountain ash In the centre, neither of which is twelve feet in height. ' It was January. John left bis home, some eighteen miles away, taking a bag of provisions and a few spring traps, to be absents week or more, in pursuit of mink and marten. It was an open season. Little snow Was upon the ground, and .all the lakes were unfrozen. John made his way alone to the Lower Cedar lake, deposited his provision bag in the log shanty, and taking his boat and traps, rode over - to the little island which hasjust been dee crlbed,;, Running the. boat up on Tthe rocks, be stepped out with a trap, and went to the opposite side of the island, a distance not.exceeding twenty-five feet, carefully set his trap and returned to the landing. > What was bis dismay to find his boat caught lightly upon a low rook about two rods from the island. Here was a serious nredlcament for the incautious trapper. There was not a tree uor a branch* by which be could reach tbe boat. There were no withe nor bark which, bein* tied together and attached to a stone, could be thrown into the boat; He had never learned to swim u. stroke. Between him and the rock on which his boat was stranded were the waters, dark, cold, and ten feet deep. What was to. be done? John was- an iron-hearted man, but while deliberating iu much agitation, hut the added horrorof seeing the boutsway ed first by the wind, thou grating harshly upon, the rook,- at last disengaged, and drifted slowly out into the middle of the lake. The cose now seemed absolutely hopeless. As.the hunters and trappers frequently go forth alone in the winter, and are ab sent several weeks, his stay , would at tract no attention at the settlement. No human dweUiug was than sixteen miles. Coi fronting, philosophically, therefore, his alarming situation, he scoured the island in search of fuel, which resulted In. his finding a small quantity of a substance resembling peat. He now began the construction of a kind of earthwork, iu semi-circular form, as a protection against the wind. Gathering enough of the peat to keep, his hands ami feet irotn suffering, as the early darkness drew on he wrapped himself in his coat as closely us possible, and lay down lor the night* Long, dreary, dreadful were those hours, relieved by occasional snatches of. sleep. Morning came, but it was barely welcome. It only revealed his desperate condition, and brought no intimation ot relief, - The sun arose, climbed the sky, sank to bis setting ; no lood, no fire, lest be should exhaust his stock of fuel; no sight or sound of hope. Night settled ail its shadows upon uis heart. Hungry, faint and wretched, he lighted his meagre fire and laid him down. That night be slept trpm sheer exhaustion. Again the morn ing: tbe live-long day, the sinking sun, the blank shadows, the famishing body, the howling wolves, the thoughts of hor ror, thb visions of inevitable death! Thus dragged the hours, till the sun arose.— And thus, with last foiling powers, half bewildered pii“d, he lived, or rather was dying, through four<dayaaQd five nights. During the fifth night the wind changed Ml fba uorlh, ivit • » Now, thought the trapper, the end has come. Still, pitiless frusta lull from the crystal heavens. Ho had no ;hope of seeing the morning light. But what he foreboded was to be hla destruction was God s wouderous provision for bis salva tion. The lake froze over, and on lifting Uis eyes in, the morning, a new hope struggled with the sunbeams in bis des pairing soul. Stittened, emaciated aud unable to stand, he thought “life is dear, aud home is sweet. I can but die if I venture lorth. To Huger here another . day is certain death, 1 will try the ice. 7l Crawling forth from his dump lurking I fdace to the edge of the lake, hocautlous y felt his way out upon the thin, trans parent As well as from inability to stand as from a consideration of prudence, he crept on handa and knees over the treacherous surface.

The result of Desmond's fishing were nine- ' ty-four smelts, which he cooked, using a pound of lard and an equal amount of meal. The fish weighed when cook ed, eight pounds. In forty-five min utes alter Beynoids sat down to his din ner the last fish' disappeared, and then he offered to eat two pounds of beef steak if any one would pay for it. No body being willing to foot the bill, he finished his meal on bread, and then wanted to bet that he would sleep twenty-tbreo houro'aday for two suc cessive days. The.
