An if no lovo were n ceded;
Tho tears I wept on tho young dead face,

One faithful heart to lean upon,
When life is sad and lonely.

And the night-blooming roses burn dimly and
On the grecu sod that covers thy bosom.
Thy pnlo hands nro folded, oh beautiful saint !
Like lilly luds chilly and dew. wet,
And tho smile on thy lip is as solemn and faint
As the beams of n norland sunset.

To the shore of the glorious immortals, know
In the sphere of tho star-land shall wed us, I

THRILLING ADVENTUUE.
Descent into the Mammoth Cave.
At the supposed end of what has always

I celeliratecl guide Mcplicn, who was deem

Cavo if ho would descend to tho bottom of
it, but he shrank from the peril. A few
years ago, a Tenncsee professor, a learned
i ml bold man, resolved to do what no
one before him had dared to do, mid,
making his anaiigements with great care
and precaution, he had himself lowered
diwn by a strong ropo a hundred loot,
but, at that point, his courage failed him,
ami he called aloud to be drawn out. No
human power could ever have induced him
tu repeat the 'ipalling experiment
coiii'le of weeks iiL'o, however, a I
young gentleman of Louisville, w hose 1 the speakers in regard to Free Love pro
liorves never trembled it mortal peril, be- 'iluced a violent re-action in public opinion,

The Spiritualists at the Magnetic

In pursuance of notices published in

of Spiritualists was convened nt the Mag

Sunday evening, (hi the last day there
were between UO'HI and IIOOO persons on
the ground; of this number probably not
over one-tenth part were believers in s'P'r"
itualisin. On Sunday afternoon wo wit
nessed some scenes which were disgraceful
to the nge in which we live. A poor crazv
woman had forced herself upon the front
of the stand erected for the speakers, and
commenced nn incohetnt speech, without
sense nnd without intelligence. At this,
the mob hooted and yelled in demoniac
glee the lunatic was pulled from the
stand and rudely nnd obscenely treated,
aim at last sno was carried around the
camp-ground mm into a building, followed
by a crowd of fools, to sav tho least of
them. The only speech which had n par
ticle of reason of sense in it, was made by
.Uks, imiTT, ot M, lioms. iter voice was
excellent, nnd her gestures unexceiitiona

cause of Spiritualism. Some of the ultra

inform us that its health-giving and health

'of it.

considerably a wheat-field in the neii:h-

freely entertained. About this time there
was u great sensation made in Kmxlar.d
about the wreck of a vessel which was to
carry a party of Friends to Philadelphia.
Carew availed himself of this event, chang

among tho (Quakers as one of the few who

to see him, and had frequent conferences
with him.
From time to titno Carew would vary
his life by associating with honest men
and sharing their enjoyments without
committing any tresspass ngainst them.
He was thus introduced to Col. Strauge

speaking of Carew and his famous disgui
ses. The colonel ottered to bet that he
never would be tho dupe of such a man,
Carew took up the bet; and one morning
he came, dressed as a beggar to the colon
el's door. He seemed so old and sutler
ing and groaned nnd wept in so touching
a manner, that tho servants begged some
thing from their master for him. The
Col. went to the door, ami, after talking
with the Legpar, was so moved that he

at the colonel's table, drew from his pock

set himself to perform a series of decc.

Halifax, Sept. 27. Tho briu Lotus ar.
rived yesterday with twelve of the sixty,
seven survivors of the destruction of the
steamer Austria, burned at sea on the
13th.
A passenger reports that u little after 2
o'clock on the afternoon of the loth,
n dense volume of smoke burst from the
after entrunce to the steerage. The speed
was instantly slacked one half, at which
speed she continued going until the niag-azi-io
exploded, when the engineers, it is
supposed, were instantly suHbcatoil. Tho
fire next burst through tho lights, amid
ships, traveling aft with fearful rapidity.
A boat let down on the port side was
instantly crushed, nnd unother on the
starboard side was swamped from the
numbers rushiug into it.
All the first cabin passengers wero on'
tho poop deck excepting a lew gentlemen,'
who must hnvo been smothered In tho
smoking-room.
Many of the second cabin nnssencors
were also on the on tho
poop,
but a n ura
her were shut up in the cabin by tho fire.
Some were pulled up thronh tho ventila
tor, but the greater number polished in
the Haines. A woman was drawn up who
said that six were then already suffocated.
Several men and women jumped into
the sea by twos & threes. Some of the wo
men were then already in Humes. Others
hesitated till driven over at the last mo
ment by the advancing flames. In half
an hour not a soul was left on the poop
di ck.
The French barque Maurice, Captain
F.rncst Kenaud.ea.nenlongsideat 5 o'clock,,
rescued forty passengers, who were chiefly
taken off thr, bowsprit, but some were
struggling in the water.
At eight o'clock ono of the metallic
bouts caino up. with twe.itv-two nersona
including the first and second officers, and
subsequently four men were picked tip,
tloiiting on a piece of broken boat.
The second officer was afterwards res
cued from the water. Both ho and the
third officer wera severely burnt.
Many of the mala passencers wero
frightfully burnt.
Only six women were saved, three of
whom were shockingly burnt.
A .Norwegian barony went nloi.K side of
the steamer the next morning, and sent
out her boat. She may have picked up a
few perrons.
1 he barque Maurice had no communi
cation w ith her. We hnvo not vet asccr
