And in the earth a heart-pulso there
Throbs underneath her breast of anon-.
Life is astir among the woods,
And by the moor. and by the stream,
The year, as from a torpid dream,
Wakes in the sunshine on the hods.
Wakes up in music as the song
Of wend bird wild. and loosen'd rill
More frequent from the windy hill
Conies greening forest aisles along.
'Wakes up in beauty as the sheen
Of woodland pool the gleams receives
'Thramrh bright flowers, °vet-braided leaves
Of broke n sunlights, golden-green.
She sees the outlaw'd winter stay
A while, together after him
Snow robes, frost- erystalril diadem,
And then in soft showers pass away.
She could not love rongh winter well,
Yet cannot choose but mourn him now ;
So swears awhile on her young brow
llta gift—a gleaming; icicle.
Then turns her, loving. to the eon
Upheaves her bosonfs swell to his,
And, in the joy of his first kiss,
Forgets for aye that sterner one.
Old wintur's pledge front her he reeves—
That iere. , l4l, though glittering spec—
And zones her with a green eytuar,
And girdles round her brow with leaves.
The primrcoe and the wood violet
He tangles in her shining heir,
And teaches elfin breezes fair
To sing her seine sweet eanzonot.
All promising long summer henry.
When she in his embrace shall lie,
Under the broad dome of bright sky,
On mossy couches stared with flowers.
Tilt she smiles back again to him

Like gold of Oafs own blessing.

The sti eam curls slew ly round the hoofs of cattle
And o'er the meadow Masts the dron log bee,

Soft through the southern meshes of the vine,

And in the casket of the eglantine,
The tropic dews are falling.
Far in the distance rolls the slnggbdt sea,
With not enough life in all its breathing,
To hid the sail from its rode bonds go free,
And epurn its hempen wreathing.
On all there rests n halo and a hush,
The spell of poesy is on the blossom,
And Natures spirit slumbers to a blush,
Caught front high Heaven's bosom.

THE MAIL ROBBER.
Fourteen years ago I drove from
Littleton, a distance of forty two
miles, and, as I had to wait the arriv
al of two or three coaches, did not
start until after dinner; so I very of
ten had a good distance to drive after
dark. It was in the dead of winter,
and the season had been a tough one.
A great deftlof snow had fallen and
the drifts were plenty and deep. The
mail that I carried was not due at
Littleton, by the contract, until 1 o'-
clock in the morning, but that win
ter the, postmaster was very often
obliged to sit up a little later than
that for me.
One day in January, when l e drove
up for my- mail to Danbury, the post
master called me into his 'office.
:..Pete," said he, with an important,
serious look, "there's some pretty
heavy money packages in that bag;"
and he pointed to the bag as he spoke.
He said the money, was from Bo-
ton to some land agents up 'near the
Canada line. Then he asked me if I'd
got any passengers who were going
to Littleton. I told hint that I did
not know, but "suppose I hay'nt ?''—
says I.
'Why,' said he, 'the agent of th e
lower route came in to day, and says
that there have been two suspicious
characters on the stage that came,up
last night, and he suspects they have
nn•,eyp upon the mail; so it will stand
you in hand to be a• little careful."
Ile said the agent had described
one of them as a short thick set
fellow, about forty years of age, with
long hair, and a thick, heavy clump
of beard ander his chin, but none on
the side of his face. He didn't know
anything about the other. I told the
old fellow I guessed there was not
much danger.
"Oh, no, not if you have got anv
passengers, through;' but I only told
you this so you might look out fir
it when you changed horses."
I answered that I should do so, and
took the bag under my arm and left
the °Mee. 1 stowed the mail under
my seat a little more carefully than
usual, placing it so that I could feel
against it; but beyond this I did not
feel any concern. It was past one
o'clock when I started, and I had four
I passengers, two of whom rode to my
I first stopping place. I reached Grow
man's Mill at dark, when we stopped
for supper, and where my other two
passengers concluded to stop for the
night. -
About six o'clock ih the evening I
left Gowan's Mill alone, having two
horses and an open punk.
had seventeen miles to go—
and a hard seventeen it was too.—
The night was quite clear, but the
wind was sharp lola cold, the loose
snow flying in all directions, while
the drifts were closely packed. it,
was slow, tedious work, and my horses
soon became leg•weary and restive.—
At the distance of six miles I came to
a little settlement palled - Bull's-Cor
ners, where I took fresh horses. I
had been. two hours going that dis
tance. Just as I was going to start
a man came up and asked if I was go

ing through to Littleton. I told him
1 should go through if the thing could
possibly be done. 'He said ho was
I very anxious to:go, and as he had no
baggage, I told him to jump in and
make himself as comfortable as possi
ble. I was gathering up the lines,
when the hostler came up and asked
me if I knew that, one of my horses
had cut himself badly ? I jumped out
and went with him, and fbund that
' one of the animals had got a deep
cork cut on the fore foot.. I gave such
directions as I considered necessary,
and was about to turn away, when
the hostler remarked that lie thotight
I came alone. I told hitn , l did. •
'Then where did you got the pas.
senger ?' said he.
'He just got in,' I answered.
'Got in from where ?'
don't know.'
'Well now,' said the hostler, 'that's
kind o' curious. There aint no such
man been at the house, and rknow
there ain't been none at any of the
neighhors.'
:Let's have a look at his face,' said
I, 'we can get that much, at any rate.
Do go back with me, and when I get
into the pn.ng, just hold your lantern
so that the light will shine in his Ewe.
He did vs I Nvil,hed, and as I stepp
ed into the pung J. got a fair view of
such portions of my passenger's face.
as were not muffled up. I saw a short,
thick frame, full, hardy beard under
his chin. I thoughtof the man whom
the postmaster had described to me;
but I didn't think seriously upon it
till I had started. Perhaps I had got
half a mile when I noticed that the
mail bag wasn't in its old place under
my feet.
'Hallo,' says I, holding my horses
up a little, 'where's my mail ?'.
My passenger set on the seat be
hind me, and I turned toward him.
'Here is a bag of some kind slipped
back under my feet,' he said, giving
it a kick, as though he'd shove it
forward.
Jnst at this moment my horses lum
bered into a deep snowdrift, and I
was fbrced to get out and tread the
snow down ahead of them, and lead
themAltrough it.
This .:took. me all fifteen minutes,
and when I got,,in again I pulled the
Mail. bag forward mid- go t•my feet up
oa it. As I was doing this 1 saw the
man take something from.his lap, be
neath the buffalo, and put in his breast
pocket. At this 1 thought it was a
pistol. I had caught the gleam of the
barrel in the star light, and when 1
had time to reflect, I knew 1 couldn't
be mistaken.
About this time I began to think
somewhat seriously. From what I
had heard and seen, I soon made up
my mind that the individual behind
me not only meant to rob the mail,
but he was prepared to rob me of my
life. If I resisted him he would shoot.
me, and perhaps he meant to perform
that delectable job at any rate. While
I was thus pondering the horses fell
into another snow drift, and I was
again forced to get out and tread down
the 51 - 10 W before them. I asked my
passenger if he would help me; but
he said he did not feel well and would
not try it; so I worked alone, and was
all of a quarter of an hour getting my
team through the drifts. When I got
into the sleigh again, I began to feel
for the Mail bag with: my feet, and
found it where Iliad left. it; ; but when
attempted to withdraw my foot, I
discovered that it, had become entan
gled in something. I thought it the
buffalo, and tried to kick it clear; but
the more 1 kicked the more closely it
was held. 1 reached down my hand,
and after feeling about a few minutes,
I found that my foot was io the mail
bag! I felt again, ,►nd-found my hand
in among the packages of letters I I
ran my fingers over the edges of the
opening, and became assured that the
stout leather had been eat with a knife.
llere was a discovery. I be,gltri to
wish I had taken a little more fore
thought..before leaving Danbury; but
I knew making such wishes was only
a waste of time, I quickly gave it up
and began to consider what I had best
do under the existing circumstances.
I wasn't long in making up my mind
upon a few essential points.
,First,
the man behind me was a villiarr sec
ond, he hail cut open the
and robbed it of some valuable mat
ter—he must have known the money
letters by their size and shape; .third,
lie meant to leave the stage at the
first opportunity; an'd, fourthly he had
prepared to shoot me if I attempted
to arrest or' detain him.
1 revolved these things over in my
mind, but pretty soon thomrlit of, a
course to pursue. I know that to get
hands safely upon the rascal I must
take hiM unawares, and this I could
not do while he was behind me—for
his eyes were upon me all the time—
so I twist resort to stratagem. Only
:t little distance ahead of us was a
house. An old farmer named Loguee
lived there, and directly in front of it
was a huge snow bank, Stretchiwr
across the road, through which a tracic
for w agons had been cleared with
shovels. .
As tve• approached the•cot I saw
light in the front room, as I felt con•
fid a i l t, I should, for the old man gen
orally saf, up until the stage went by.
I drove on, and when nearly-opposite
the dwelling stood up, as I h a d fre
quently done when approaching difli
cult places. I saw the snow bank
ahead, and could distinguish the deep
cut which had been shoveled through.
I urged my horses to a good speed,
and when near the bank forced them in
to it. One of the runners mounted the
edge of the bank, after which the oth
er ran into the cut, thus throwing the
sleigh over about as quick as though
lightning had struck it. My passen-
ger had not calculated any such move
ment, and wasn't prepared for it; but
I had calculated and was prepared.—
lie rolled out into the deep snow,
with a buffalo robe about him, while
I lighted upon my feet directly on the
top of him. I punched' his head in
the .snow, and then sang out for old
Loguec: I did not have to call the
second time, for the farmer had come
to the window to see us pass, and as
soon as he saw me overturned he had
lighted his lantern and hurried out.
'What's to pay ?' asked the old man
as he hurried out.
'Lead the horses into the track, and
then come here,' said I.
As I spoke I partially loosened my
hold upon the villian's throat, and he
drew a pistol from his bosom; but I
saw it in season, and jammed his head
into the snow again, and got the 'wea
pon away fromhim. By this time Lo
gue() had led the horse ont and came
back,and I explained the matter to him
in as few words as possible. We haul
ed the rascal out into the road, and
searched hint,, fAlldinp. about o, vei:i t y

freached the end of my. route with
my mail all safe, though not as snug
as it might. have been, and my mail
bag a little the worse for the game he
had played upon it. However, the
mail rubber was secure, and within a
week he was identified by some offi
cers from Concord an an old offender,
and I'm rather inclined to the opinion
that he's in the Slate's prison at the
present moment. At any rate he was
there the last I heard of him.
PARTURITION OF A VOLCANIC
ISLAND.
A TURILLING SKETCH
The following narrative is asserted
to be entirely true by its author.
• It was a night of pitchy darkness.
At four bells in the first watch not a
breath of air was moving, and the
drenched sails, wet by the afternoon
and evening rains, hung heavily from
the yards or flapped against the masts
and rigging, s the ship rolled lazily
on the long leaden swells of the Pa•
cifie Ocean. A number of days had
passed without an observation of the
sun or. stars and they had to run by
"dead reckoning,'' and were not, there
fore, sure, of their latitude and longi•
tulle. They might be nearer danger
than they thought.
The captain had gone below at
eight, but feeling troubled about the
portentous appearance of the weath
er, was unable to sleep, and was on
deck again, walking nervously fore
and aft, now looking on this side and
then on the other side of the quarter
deck, looking anxiously out into the
darkness, then aft; then at the com
pass and then at the barometer which
hung in the cabin gangway.
Round and round went the ship,
heedless of her helm, and the mercu
ry told 'the same tale it had told for
hours before. In vain did the eyes of
anxious men peer into the darkness;
only inky-blackness met their strain
ing gaze everywhere. Thus matters
stood till six bells, when the mercury
began to fall suddenly. The quick,
jerking voice of the captain was then
heard.
."Nir. Smalley, you may take in the
light sails." f• ,•
"Ay, ay, sir ;" and stepping to the
mainmast he called out : "Forward,
there;" and was immediately answer
ed, "For'ard, sir." "Stand by the top
gallant and the flying jib halyards,"
In a moment he heard the report,
"ready, sir."
"Let - go the halyards and clew
down ;
let go the sheets and clew,o;
that'll do; belay all; now-jump up
and furl them; be lively lads." f
_,Whilefthis•was going. on the cap•
tarn took another look at the barom
eter and found the mercury still go
ing down fast. Thorouglily aroused
now he caught - his speaking trumpet
from the bookers and sung out, "l - told
On, there; • down from aloft, every
man of you , eul 1, ill hands." Down
came the men ,again. '"All hands '
alioy,", was called with great strength
of voice at both-the captain and fbre
! castle gangways, and, then' followed'!
one of those scenes which defies such
description as would make it
intelli
gible to a landsman; but which any
f sailor understands. • - The. top sails
were close reefed, it reef taken in the
mainsails; the jib, and flying jib, and
all the light sails were forle - d,and the
ship made ready for the expected
gale. - But yet no breath of air had
I been felt moving while an unnatural
stillness and heaviness of the atmos
phere.was observed by all. Several
I of the seamen saw a dim purple Streak
I suddenly appeared right ahead of the
ship, and called out, "Here it comes,
sir. •
"Where ?" said , the, captain. • ..
"Right ahead, sir."
(41ard a-pOrt your helm."
"Raid a-port it is, sir?'
"Brace round the yards."
"Ay, ay, sir."
The yards were : braced around and
the ship was got ready 'to receivothe
expected blast on 'the larboard Side.
That dreadful streak of cloud groW
almost crimson; and there was heard
what -they thought was 'the heavy
roar of. the coming .gale, and every
man seemed to hold-his breath await
ing the shock. Good men and cour.

ageous sailors were on that ship's
deck, but they shrunk from the on
slaught like frightened children.—
When God speaks in those storms his
voice is awful to hear, and many a
strong man quailed before it. And
the storm itself is scarcely more try,
ing to one's nerves than just before it
strikes, while men wait in dreadful
suspense. -
Thus those men waited till the min
utes lengthened into hours, and the
only change perceptible was in the
deepening color of that lowering
cloud of crimson light. At length
eight hells announced that four o'clock
had arrived, and daylight was looked
for as those men with Paul looked for
iL when they "wished for day."
But the struggling fight of the day
seemed only to reveal the thickness
of the darkness to the wandering vis
ion. Just at daylight their ears were
stunned w i ith successive and quick re
ports, Idacier than whole broadsides
from a hundred gun ship, the whole
heavens were lighted up with a fiery
red light ; the ouean. was stirred from
her profound depths; great waves,
without any visible cause, ran in the
most awful commotion, now striking
together and throwing the white foam
and spray high in the air, : thon part
ing to meet again in tearful' embrace
as before; a school of sperm whales
ran athwart the ship's bows,_ making
every exertion to escape from the
strangely-troubk,‘d water;
within a
few cable-lengths of the ship an im
mense column of water was thrown
mast-head high, and fell back again
with a roar like Niagara; a deep
mournful noise, like the echo of thun
der among mountain caverns, was
constantly heard and none could tell
whence it Caine; the noble ship was
tossed and shaken like a plaything.
"Great, God, have mercy upon us!" -
cried officers and Men. "What is this ?
W hat is coming next ? is it the day
of judgment? "They reel to and fro
and stagger like a drunken man, and
arc at their %vit's end." Soon the
mystery was solved, when right be
fbre their eyes, about one league from
them, there arose the rough side of a
mountain out of the yielding water
and reared its high head in the air ;
then from its summit, flames burst
forth, and melted lava ran like a riv
er down the declivity and fell like a
cascade of flame into the seething
ocean. It was a birth•throe of na-
Lure, and an island was born which'
was mile:3,in circumference.
Two years afterwards I sailed right
over that place but the placid water
gave no intimation that an island had
been there; yet no man has said that
he saw the death and burial of that
land whose birth 1. have thus chroni
cled. "They that go down to the sea
in ships, that do business in the great
waters; these see the works of the
Lord, and his wonders in the deep."

A NIGHT ON TILE PYRAMID OF
CLIEOPS
On landing at Crizeh, the pyraMids,
though several miles distant, appear
ed to be directly before us. In three
hours, after a ride across the inter
vening plain, arrived at the base of
the rocky elevation on which the pyr
amids aro erected. Here begins the
desert, the pyramids marking the
limit of cultivable land. A number
of Bedouins, who live around the
pyramids, came running to us, and
offered their services as guides.
cending the rocky foundation of the
pyramids, we stood at their base, and
here, fior the first time, we had some
idea of their immense mass and size.
Standing at the base of the great
pyramid of Cheops, and looking up
its sides, it seemed to lean against the
sky. We were too eager to scale to
the summit to stand long at the base.
We ascended at one of the corners.—
A Bedouin mounted Upon the stone
above, extended his hand to the per
son 'ascending while another aided
him with a lift of his shoulders from
below. The pyramids being ;built
with receding layers Of stone, a ledge
of olniost three foot in width is left
upon each layer, which affords a se
cure landing place. In this manner
the ascent was easily made in fifteen
minutes. Instead of an apex hardly
wide enough to stand upon, wolonnd
the apex of the pyramid of Cheops a
fiat square at least fifteen feet broad.
A largo stone is in the centre indica•
ting that the original sharp apex of'
the pyramid hits ; been destroyed,
which of con I'SO has diminished its
height. According to Herodotus,the
pyramids were origi natty covered with
a smooth coat of cement, which ren
dered it next to impossible to ascend
them. The broken; jagged sides of
the pyramidsishow that several at
: tenipis have been made to destroy
them, a labor which one of the Arabi
an caliphs found it task 'equal only to
the power of those who built them.
The view from the:'top of the. py•
ramid of Cheops; extends over the
whole breadth of the Valley of the
Nile, from the Makattam mountains
back of Cairo, to.the. Libyan Desert.
• While we were on'tlte pyramid the
sun went down. My companions de

tance on the plain, while I remained

I I retained the sheik of the Bedouins
and two of his men, and sent down
another to bring up the pipes and cof
fee I had brought from Cairo. The
promise of a backsheash silenced their
protestations and fears. The Bedouins
kindled a fire with charcoakinder the
lee of the stone; and made mo some
excellent coffee after their manner.—

leaving me to contemplate the dark
ening landescape, while they, gather
ed in a group, indulged in 6U:spit:lot/I
surmises as to my object in sleeping
on the pyramids.
The last rays of light were gradu
ally fading from the horizon, and the
landscape was every moment becoM
ing darker and darker. On one side
stretched a green plain, dotted. with
villages and clumps of palms; the
bright crest of the Nile, gleaming in
the expiring rays of the sun, and me
andering through it in gentle curves,
relieved the dark green landscape.—
Beyond, the minarets of Cairo were
indistinctly seen, tipped with the de
parting light. Turning to the north,
the eye ranged over the great desert,
of Libya, which stretched away a
blank expanse of sand, upon which
not a human being was to be seen.—
The solitude was as profound as that
which reigned within the chambers
of the pyramid beneath us. Across
the plain, as the day declined, the
haying of doffs'was heard.
By midnight the moon was in the
zenith, and the heavens presented . a
brilliant host of planets and stars,
such as the, old astronomers gazed
upon from this very spot. The Be
douins were all asleep, so, burying
myself in the folds of a Greek capote,
f turned my back against the broken
apex and tell asleep. The bull Apis,
Cheops, the transtnigration of souls,
with speculations on Egyptian theol
ogy and oxology occupied my dreams,
and I was engaged in a very inter
esting dispute with llerodotus touch
ing the architects of the pyramids,
when the Bedouin sheik awoke me,
and told me that the sun was rising.
The earth was yet robed in the twi
light of morning. The horizon, on
its, eastern rim, was streaked with
pencilings of light, while the rest of
the Leavens was almost perfectly
dark. As the sun approached the
edge of the horizon, light shot akin - MI
it; in a moment more the top of the
sun's orb was visible, and instantane
ously afterwards he wheeled tip with
a majestic bound, and -poured a flood
of light over heaven and earth. It
was as magnificent as the first sun
that rose upon the first morning,when
"God said let there be light, and there
was light." Immediately afterwards,
I descended and rejoined my compan
ions, with no other unpleasant effects
from my night's sleep on the top of
the pyramid, than a purse 1h411t0n0,4

The' Mr. Russell, who now repre
sents the London Times here, iS the
same gentleman who was sent by
that journal to Ireland to report O'-
Connell's Polite qualities, he thought
to obtain that gentleman's permis
sion to take a verbatim account of the
oration. The 'Liberator"- not only
consented, •but, in his oiliest manner,
infbrmed the assembled audience that
"until that gentleman was provided
with all writing conveniences, he
wouldn't spake a word," assuming an
extra brogue, which was altogether
unnecessary. Russell was delighted.
The preparations began, and were
completed; Russell was ready.
"Are you ready ?" asked Dan.
"Quite ready."
"Now, are you sure you're iutirely
ready ?"

After waiting another moment or
so, O'Connell advanced; eyes glisten
ed; ears were ail attention; and the
reportorial pencil arose; Dan gave
one more benignant smile on the cor
respondent, winked at the auditors,
and commenced his speech in the Irish
