One star is trembling lop sight,
And soft es sleep the darkness falls,
The wood-dove from the forest calls,
Thu bat begins his wayward flight.
Streams, murmuring in the ear of Night,
Within the woody hollows wind,
Whose dusky boughs are intertwined
Above their music and their light.
The woodlind range is dimly blue
With smoke that creeps from cots unseen
And biiery hedge and meady green
Put on their white night-robe of dew.
In every sound that breaks the calm,
Is like a lullaby to rest; •
All is at peace—except the breast
That needs the most its soothiug balm

The Sorrows of a Man who
was Born to be Hung.
While playing at Baltimore, Dan
Marble fell in with a gentleman who
had formerly been a merchant, and a
man of consequence in the mercan
tile community. His fortunes had
fallen into the''sere and yellow leaf;'
a circumstance briefly alluded to in
the works of Wm. Shakspeare, Esq.,
a literary gentleman, now long since
deceased. The person" was quite a
character, as his credit was below par
and his 'moral grandeur' on a very
limited scale. In short, at the time
Dan picked him up, the &pan was en
gaged'in a species of practical chem
istry, vulgarly known as miilagAod
dy, and keeping a faro bank.
Dan met him ono morning,
uncommon mood of double-breasped
blues, and invited him to take a drink
at the bar of an establishment where
they chanced
,to meet, and; to the
comedian's astonishment, the man ac
tually refused.
'Come along up—What're yeou a
beout ?'
'Can't do it, Mr. Marble; much
obliged, but excuse me.'
'Why, what on zirth ails you
You look as if you had lost• a three
old-colt or a patch of pumpkins.—
Come.'
The man gave in, took a nipper,
and then, taking Dau gingerly by the
shoulder, advanced a few feet from
the bar, and, in a desponding tone of
voice, says he :
'Mr. Marble, you've traveled a great
deal, seen agood many ups and downs,
but was you ever drownded?'
IFSTeII,' says Dan, as nobody but
hiMself could have said it, hain't,
just at this moment, any particular
recollection of having gone that fur
—by water.'
'Was you ever saved from drowndin?'
continued the melancholy man.
'Physical demonstration kind oral.-
gins in favor of such a conclusion,'
says Dan. have been saved from
drowning.'
'Then, Mr. Marble,you may be able
to approciate -my unfortunate situa
tion. -I was saved..from:drowndin:'
'Glad of. it., Wasnt you ?'
"Gladl glad:? No, Sir lost thir
ty thousand dullars by it: ,
'The dickens you did.!' responded
Dan,,io astonishment.
It is a lamentable' fact, sir. -Sit
down Mr. Marble.. I. know your time
is valuable; I- won't- detain you long.'
'Don't, it, you please,' echoed Dan,
'smelling' a long yarn..
shan't, sir; a few words will do.
Suppose we drink.'
'Go ahead. .A glass of sherry,! says
Dan. .
'Gin and bitters,' - says the melan
choly man. 'My respects, Mr. Mar
ble!
'The same,' says Dan. 'Now let
her rip.'
'Well, Mr. Marble, in 1833 I, was
worth, thirty thousand ,dollars.. I
didn't owe a red cent in the ,world.—
One day, sir, 1 went down to the ba
sin to see a friend oft' to Norfolk.
'Good bye,' says L 'Take care of
yourself, Jim.'
'Good bye,' says he.
But no sooner had I got 'take care
Of-yourself' out of my mouth than
down :I went, heels over stomach, off
the vvheebhouse on to the wharf--
backwards into a wheelbarrow—that
tilted into the dock, and my .fir,st re
collection .after that was a sensation
as though I had been-ponverted into
a pin -cushion, and forty women were
jabbln in the pins.
smelt a hot - stove., red flannel, and
Applejack. I heard a jumble of voi
ces.
'Rub away. He's coming to.'
'Tain't no use. He's a gconer.—
Burnt brandy won't save him?
'Send for the doctor/

'Take care of his watch, gentlemen.'
'That part of the clinveraa,tion; says
Dan, 'sort of revived yOu, I reckon.'
'Mr. Marble,'. replied the narrator,
putting his hand emphatically upon
the commedian's shoulder---'Mr. Mar
ble, that brought me.

-Walborn was not at home. He went to
Harrisburg : *it& the necessary documents,
a;d the pardon was granted. He returned
tq the kity, released Cross from prison and
topic ,him,to 'Washington, Cross makingl
many excuses on the way to get out of
,sight of -the Marshal, but without success.
They arrived at Washington in the af
ternodn, and Cross was tiken directly to
the office of the Secretary •of War. - The
Assistant Secietary was not these, and Mr.
Stanton was summoned. The Marshal
telegraphed -to the Secretary that he would
'ha* Cross at his office in the afternoon,
and Mr Stattton had not retired. Upon
4.44iif . ...Aq.)4.4alvilintrodgeed the Dep
nlY,-VIM4OIIII. inTorined the Secretary that
he had - brotight Cross. Mr. Stanton man
ifested some surprise when the Marshal
spoke of Cross, and asked an explanation.
The Marshal replied :
" I was directed, by a letter from Mr.
Watson, to bring him here, and I under
stood it to be by your erder."
"Not by my order, t assure you!" said
Mr. Stanton.
The Marshal then banded the letter of
the Assistant, which the Secretary ran
over with evident astonishment. "I know
nothing about it," he said, "add what is
more, it does not meet my approbation. I
do not want to use such a man as Cross
for any purpose." A messenger was then
dispatched for Mr. Watson, who, upon
coming in and examininz the letter, pro
nounced it a forgery. During all this time
Cross seemed.to be the least concerned
person in tbe room. After a short consul
tation between the Secretary of Wart and
the Marshal,. the Military Governor of
Washington was sent for, and he had'Cross
taken to the guard houie for safe 'keeping
by a file of soldiers. Cross denied the
right of the authorities to hold him
either as a' military or a civil prisoner,
claiming that he bad a full pardon, and
that he bad no knowledge of any new
charge against him. Gen. Wadsworth cut
the matter shotl, by ordering the rogue to
be handcuffed and locked op. The next
day Marshal ltlilward and -Deputy Jenkins
took'Cilross to Philadelphia and returned
him to his old quarters in the Penitentiary.
As the party were. leaving Washington,
Cross asked Mr. Millward by what author
ity he 'vitas being removed to Philadelphia.
"By, the same authority that brought you
here !" was the reply. "I wish it distinctly
understood," said Cross, "that I came here
willingly, but that I am 'unwilling to go
hack !" When the handcuffs were being
removed at the Penitentiary, he said to.
Mr. Holloway, the Warden, "I-have a duty
to perform to myself. I demand a free
and unconditional discharge'!" whereupon
Mr. Millward said, "You wil 'lease re
turn him to his cell, from w ' took
him." Accordingly he we-. -..• I and
still remains there.
Tberais no doubt that the • •ry was
planned and perpetrated under the direc

it about in his imprisonment cannot be dis
covered. i.

mingo,asks to be annexed to Spain, and the 're
quest is,granted by the'Queen on the 20th of the
following May. The portion of the Wand thus
annexed to Spain is by far the largest, though
lees populated. The Gotha Almanac gives it: an
area of 12,960 square miles ; but from recent
Itd
measurement by a French Mauer, it appears to
bare about 15,000 square ranee, baying a popula
tion of little over 200,000. The republic of Hay

by recent measurement 10,000, square miles, with
a population of 560,000 inhabitants. Its reve
nue in 1859 was $1,762,5000; expenditure,
$972,572 ; debt to France, 60,000,000 f., (about
$11,250,000,) the original debt of 150,000,000 f.

If there is any commerce with' other ports of
Liberia it is not shown. In page 6, column sec
ond, of pamphlet speech made by - Mr. SIMMER
on this bill, the exports to Monrovia are brought
up to $2u0,000, and to the whole republic, to,
$400,000'. Quite in contrast with the above
statement.
England recognized the republic of Liberia in
1848, and France in 1854. From the late reports
of the Colonization Society, it would seem that
Spain and other Powers have since done the,
same as I propose to do it commercially. ic..
cording to Gotha, the three Powers first nutted
