MEMORY.
Soft as the rays of sunlight stealing
On the dying day;
Sweet as chimes of low bells pealing,
When eve fades away ;
Sad as winds of night that moan.
Through the healii o'er mountain lone,
Come the thought of days now gone
On manhood's memory.
As the sunbeams from the heaven
Hide at eve their light ;
As the be!is when fades the even
Pea! not on the night;
As the night wind cease to sigh
\\ hen the ruin falls from the sky,
Pass the thoughts of days gone by
From age's memory.
Yet the sunlight in the morning
Forth again shall break.
And the bells gives sweet-voiced warning
To the world to wake.
Soon the winds shall freshly breathe
< t'er the mountain's purple heath :
Lhit the path is lost in death—
He hath no memory.

Story for Boys.
It i? related of a Persian mother, that on
giving her son forty pieces of silver as his
portion, she made him swear never to tell a >
lie. and said 4 Go, my son, 1 consign thee
to God, and we shall never meet again till
the day of judgement.'
The youth went away, and the party he
traveled with was assaulted by robbers. —
One fellow asked the boy what he had got,
and he said ' forty dinars are sewed up in
znv garments.'
lie laughed, thinking he jested.
Another asked him the same question,
and received the same answer.
At last the chief called him, 3nd asked
him the same question, and he said 4 1 have
told two of your people already that I have
forty dinars sewed up in my clothes.'
He ordered the clothes to be ripped open
and found the money.
' And how came you to tell this ? said
the chief.
4 Because,' replied the child, 4 I would
not be false to my mother, to whom 1 pro
mised never to tell a lie.'
4 Child,' said the robber, 4 art thou so
mindful of thy duty to thy mother at thy
vears, and am 1 insensible at my age of the
duty I owe to God Give me thy hand
that 1 innv swear repentance on it." He
did so and his followers were all struck
with the scene.
4 You hate been our leader in guilt,
sr.id they to the chief, 4 he the same in the
path of virtue and they instantly made
restitution of the spoils, and vowed repent
ance on the boy's hand.
There is a moral in this story which
goes beyond the direct influence of the
mother on the child. 1 his noble sentiment
inf used into the breast of the child is again
transfused from breast to breast, till those
who feel it know not whence it came.

An Interesting Story.
I)r. Kane, already widely known as
one of the heroes who sailed in search of
Sir John Franklin with Mr. Grinnell's ex
pedition, has led a life of unexampled ad
venture, as the following account of it, up
to his departure upon the Arctic Expe
dition, shows. We have not recently en
countered any narrative so thrilling. \\ h \
may we not hope for a book from l)r.
Kane, comprising his remarkable ex
perience ?
No American, of his age, has ever seen
so much of the perils of the world, or of
the world itself. He was Surgeon ol the
American Legation in China, and on his
way to the Celestial regions, he spent
some weeks on a foot tramp through the
orange groves of Brazil and about a month
in tiger hunting near Bombay, llence,
after a dozen unsuccessful attempts to
timigglfc himself in the forbidden lands ol

j China, he went over to the Phillipeans,
' and by the aid of the good Monks of the
Manilla, explored its fastnesses and volcanic
wonders. He was the first man to de
scend into the great crator of Tad, lower
ed down two hundred feet over the brink,
by a bamboo rope tied round his middle,
and brought back a bottle lull of its sulphur
waters, burning off his hoots in the lava
| cinders. Leaving China, after a second
visit, in which he encountered shipwreck,
lie passed to India as physician of the
j Dreinendher Dagore, and was planquined
for some three months through the won
ders of its mountain architecture, the
ancient glories of Candy, the stupendous
passes of the Ghaut country, visiting .Mad
ras, Pondichery, and every spot that we
have read of in the trial of Warren Hast
ings. Next, to Upper Egypt, and Abys
sinia, crossing the desert on his camel to
the basis of Jupiter Amnion, climbing at
break-neck risk to the stepstone of the
sounding Collossus of Mciniion, and ex
ploring the tombs of the Pharuahs for a
fortnight or three weeks, with Prof. Lep
sius and his associates. Wrecked again
while passing the Nile, and wounded, in
an encounter near Alexandria, he pushed
across to Greece, and traversed every
scene of classic interest, climbing to the
Ilippocrene Spring, and sleeping on the
shore of Marathon. lie returned by
Italy, France and England, only to rest a
few weeks, before a cruise on the coast of
Africa. Renewing here some acquain
tances which had been forniQtl in Brazil, he
was allowed to inspect the entire machinery
of the slave-trade, and to pass up into the
interior, under the firman of Desouza, the
i great intermediate between the chiefs of
, the slave-making districts and the Brazil
an carriers. The coast fever was his pav
for this trip, and he was sent home bv
Commodore Read, invalided. Imperfectly
patched up from the effects of thistisit
ation, he volunteered for service with the
army in Mexico, anil was ordered wall de
spatches, on a dare-devil race, through '.he
country our troops had left, to overtake
Gen. Scott. Availing himself, at Porote,
of a miscreant escort of jail-birds, that
Gen. Worth had employed as a spy com
pany, he got iuto a series of fights, in
the last ol which he received the swords
of Gens. Ganua and Torrvjon, and had
his horse killed under him, and was him
self desperately wounded, whilst protect
ing the lives of his prisoners against his
own men. Since then he has been
cruising, and practicing hydrography on
the Coast Survey, up to the moment of
receiving his telegraphic despatch, ac
cepting his urgent proffer of services for
the Arctic Expedition, lie had the rice
' fever in the Canton River, the plague in
Egypt, the yellow fever at Rio, the con
gestive at Puebla, and the African fever
on the coast. These and wounds, and an
organic disease of the heart, which he lias
had from boyhood, have been his prep
arations for the hazards iie is encountering
now.
Monstrous Mode of Eife.
In the northern part of Indiana county,
says the Johnstown, (Pa.) Echo, resides a
family, consisting of an old man, his wife,
and a numerous progeny of children of
both genders. Their residence is a lon
cabin of the poorest description. Lhasa
I chimney—or, at least, a fire-place ; and
the inventory of the goods and chatties of
the household may be summed up thus—
one cow, one bucket, one pot. The floor
of the dwelling is of that description
known among the baek-woodsuien as- pun
cheon;' consisting of split logs laid side by
side, in drills made in the earth—the
split side forming the upper surface. Tin*
much for the domicii—now for the ncce
pants. '1 lie old gentleman nta\ be vener
able—for aught we know—or intelligent
or handsome, but he don't wear any cloth
, ing; neither does his—wife; and, and we
blush to say it, neither do their children.
All ol them are in a complete state of nu
' dity except one, that one is the support of
the family. He adopts the costume be
fitting a civilized and refined young man.
1 and goes out to service, the proceeds of
which labor procures sustenance for the
rest. At night he comes home, provided
with a bundle of straw, which supplies a
lied for the family for the night anil food
lor the cow the next day. lie can sel
: dotn be induced to stay away from home
over night, but ff he does, invariably
sleeps on the floor. The bed of the
5 family is a hole beneath the floor, made
f by scooping out the earth. When the
- weather is cold, coals from the fire-place
- are scraped into it, and allowed to remain
> until the earth is warmed, when they are
- removed, and the famiiv retire to rest.
- Other circumstances, illustrating their cus
toms are added, but we forebear nietition
. ing them. The story is related by a
- highly respectable individual, whose ve
racity is unimpeachable; and the facts must
i have come to him well authenticated, or
f he would not have made them known ; —in
e fact, he lias been in that section of country
s ' and has seen the cabin in which the family
t reside.

Awful Tragedy in Baltimore.
IMLRUER: AND SITCIDE. —The Baltimore
Patriot, of Saturday, gives the following
dreadful narration of crime;—
Gjr city was thrown into great excitement |
this morning, by the perpetration ot one of Ihe
most awful tragedies we have ever been cal
led upon as journalists to record. The loca
tion of the dreadful affair is in .\Jaiden Lane, (a
smait court, running from Hast to Aisquith ■
st reet.) between Baltimore anil Fayette streets.
i lie facts, so far as we could ascertain, are as
follows About halt-past five o'clock this
morning, fire was discovered issuing from tiie
upper story of a small brick house in Maiden
Lane, one door from Hist street, occupied tor
some time past by a man named James White,a
boot maker. 'J he firemen and police were
promptly on the ground, and succeeded in con
lining the lire to the part of the house where
it originated. No p -rson appearing in the
house at the time of the fire, and il being
known that, it was occupied, some uneasiness
was felt as to the fate of the inmates, and
after the flames were subdued, some of the po
lice ascended to the upper story, where a most
awful and horrid speciacle met their sight.
The body of White was found 'ving upon
tiie floor, with Lis head nearly severed from
the body, iiis throat being cut from ear to ear;
and a few feet from hun, near the hearth, was
found the body ot his daughter, about 15 years
of ago; the body ut his little son, about two
years old, was lying on tiie bed. Tiie ihronts
of the children were also cut, and their bodies
blackened and burnt almost to a crisp by the
fire! f lie scene was mo-' appalling, ami
those who firs? gazmi upon it, started back
with horror ! The bodies were still warm and
smoking from the effects of the fire, and, as
soon as circumstances would admit, were re
moved to a stable, adjoining. It was found,
upon examination, that the little boy, in ad
dition to having ids throat cut, bad li s brains
ai.-o blown out by i pi to!! The whole affair
seemed almost too dreadful for belief) and had
not the evidences been lying before them, the
spectators might well have doubted it any one
could exi-t, so ImrdcneO as to perp trateadeed
so horrible.
Coroner Hooper was called on to hold nil
inquest upon the bodies, m d from the evidence
elicited, the jury rendered a verdie-t that the
deaths of the deceased wore caused bv liavum
their throats cut b) a shoe kuite in the nanus of
Janus \\ h;t<% while probub'y iaboi ing under an
attack of delirium tremens —he having, preii
ously, it is supposed, set fire to tiie house.
THIS appeared to lie the only conclusion to
winch the jury could arrive. The knife was
found lying upon the iioor, and was shown to
the jury. A pistol was found afterwards, which
was used, it is supposed, upon the boy,lhebac f .
part of ids head being greatly fractured.
This is a most horrible affair, and is auntie r
warning agaie.-t a too :r.j.' indulgence in intox
icating drinks. U bite, it appears, had been
what is cailed a 44 free drinker" for many
years, and while under the effects of liquor,
would abuse his wife and famili in a Bad man
ner. To such an extent had this been carried
of late, that his wife, being ontl.v eve of con
finement, was induced to leave him about two
weeks ag >, and u nil to reside with Iter grand
mother, where she no.v !ies. riot expect'd to
live. Ihe gtri was Itff with him, in order to
lake care u' the house and cuok Ins meals. ,
The m >tlier, it is said, on leaving hun, took vi i h
her tic youngest ciu !—tbe boy —and yester
day l\ lute went t i see his wife, and induced
her to let the boy return In me with h in, prem
ising to nike cm" ■of lum. He was probably,
a' the time, meditating the deed which iias
filled every oic wti hoiror. White was
aboil 35 or I t years old.
Kossuth's Position.
In iiis farewell speech to the citizens of
Cincinnati, delivered on the 25ih tilt.,
Kossi TII stated the position lie holds with
reference to his own country and the
I nited States as follows :
" It wis still more a call of distress intrusted
bv the viice of mankind to my care, to bring
it over to tree America, us to the natural and
most powerful representative ol thai '• Spirit

44 That is the mission with which i come to •
vour shores; and believe me, gentlemen, that
it us the key ot lhit wonderful sympathy with
which tiie people of this republic answer my
humble appeal. There is blood from our blood
in these n ibie American hearts; there is the
great heart of mankind which pulsates in the
American breast; there is the chord of liberty
, which vibratos at my sighs. In that chord is
i tiie harmony, not my skill; it is the instinct of
common danger winch is aroused by thecal! ol
mankind's distress.

1 am nothing but what tny generous friend, the
Nt nator of Michigan, hasjustlv styled tne, 44 a

| capacity, 1 have a nobler credential for my mis
sion than all the clerks of the world can write,
ihe credential thut I ama 4 'mo:i"—the creden
tial that lama ■' patriot"— the credential that
I love with all sacrificing devotion my oppressed
fatherland and liberty ; the credential that /
f fj/ru/ifs and have sworn everlasting hos

-.trength to do good service to the cause of
freedom ; good service as perhaps tew men can
do, because I have the iron will, in this my
urea.-t, to serve faithfully,devotedly, unfatigua
foy, that noble cause, i have the iron will, !
which no power on earth can bend, which be
fore no danger will shrink.
44 Alas! Who in the world, among ail who
live, lias more and more powerful enemies than
I have, who Las dared more boldly to provoke
all their fury upon his head, than I have. Their
r-'gnig hostility is iny daily food, their peisecu

pillow of my short slumbering. And still here
I stand, shouting out to lieu veil und to earth,

shouting until my tintireii voice IMSaroused the
thunder oi heaven and the roaring of those

1 believe my Iffe was public enough to apper
tain to the impartial judgment of history. For
tin present, i can quietly rely upon my peo
p'c's warm fove end unabated, rather increased
confidence, the more quietly, because 1 know
'lint at least at home, ad liiose who are either

might have perhaps interested you to bear how,
in a small and inconsiderable circle of tiie
Iluugai iuii emigration, the idea was started that
I must be opposed, because 1 have declared
against all compromise with the House of Aus

direction will be in every case republican,
make impossible every other arrangement, but
only by u new revolution.
" I have the written proofs of it in my hands;
hut 1 am so tired that 1 must delay it until some
other o~Cßhion. But as it was impossible lor
you not to be surprised to see myself precisely
then attacked by some of my countrymen, when
ivc vlli ng has shown thit lamina good train
to accemp.ish some important good service to
my country, so much that an endeavor to in
creuse difficulties to me. looks veiy much like
the endeavor to check a benefit to my country.
•• 1 cannot forbear humbly to beseech y ou,do
not therefore think less favorably of my nation
and of lite 11 ungarian emigration, for which I
am sorry that 1 can very little do, because I de
vote invtelf and all the success 1 may meet
