Not lost forever, though we meet no more!
They do not wander lone and broken hearted,
Who see heaven's radiance on the farther shore.
Not lost forever! every gentle token,
That memory brings me from the far away,
Shall fill ray soul, though all our ties are broken,
With tender grace that never can decav.
Not lost forever, while around me springing,
The violets weep, the roses blush and bloom ;
And summer birds, in summer woodlands singing,
Flood with sweet music all the tranquil gloom.
There will be meaning in the stars, the flowers,
The grand and solemn voices of the sea,
Telling of happy dreams and joyous hours,
When life had sunshine which it caught from thee.
Not lost forever! Thou shalt still he near me,
Through every fortune nYul in every clime;
\\ lien cares oppress, or gentle memories cheer me,
Thou shalt be with me, dearest, all the time.

DARNING STOCKINGS.
1 Don't scold so, Ellen,' said my grand
mother, mildly, as I very reluctantly com
menced mending a pair of hose. ' What
would Fred Grahauie say if he could see
your dimples lost under such a cloud V
I did not care what Fred Grahame would
say, or any one else. 1 was an exception
truly ! I had no doubt that every one of
the girls was glad that it rained, so we
could not go to the picnic, only that they
might stay at home to enjoy the exquisite
felicity of darning old hose. Oh, of
course ! how delightful! And I began to
cry.
My grandmother looked quietly over the
rims of her spectacles, but said nothing.
1 avoided her gaze, and jerked the needle
indignantly through the rept, and broke it.
This was too much, so I tossed the offend
ing stocking aside, and walked toward the
window.
It was a dreary, rainy day, one of those
on which the rain descends with a quiet
persistence, as if it never intended to leave
off, as if, in truth, it really enjoyed descend
ing. I stood watching the few passers-by
hurrying over theslippery pavements. Op
posite was the residence of our stylish
neighbors, the Simpsons. At the window
facing mine was their seamstress, sewing
on a sewing-machine. I heartily wished
that some benolaeior of the human race
would invent a ' darning machine.' If
somebody only would 1 what a relief it
would be to mothers of large families, for
instance, with limited means; not to men
tion weary maidens, on dreary days, when
it rains and they can't go to picnics ! O
dear! And there was Miss Simpson prac
tising in the front drawing-room. She
had no stockings to darn; not she.
Wealthy, and the only child, if she wished
she might put on a new pair every morn
ing; silk ones, too. I absolutely envied
her such felicity.
I seated myself, and threaded my needle
in a worse humor than before. I knew
the alternative—that I must either darn
my stockings or go without hose—so I
darned away. Our little income was, like
the article in question, full of gaps and
rents that required to be kept together by
great economy- At last I finished, and
could not refrain from a muttered ' Thank
Ileaven.'
' Are you through ?' said my grand
mother. ' Surely you must be exhausted
bv such severe labor.' 1 was tempted to
say I mis, but the lurking smile that play
ed" arouud her lips forbade. ' Come, then,'
she said gayly, ' it is just lunch time, and I
think something to eat will revive your
spirits. Take the keys, and afterwards I
have a little story to tell you.'
A good luncheon is a capital provocative
to good humor; and, accordingly, when
finished, I took my seat on a little stool,
with my head in grandmother's lap, and
smiled very complacently in her face.
' Aha! the dimples have come back
again/ she said, as she saw them playing
hide-and-seek around the corners of my
mouth. And she stooped to kiss the one
on my chin, calling it the good little dim
ple that had never been away.
'1 cannot think/ she began, 'why there
is eo universal a dread of stocking darning.
The stitch is easy— the same as that used
for lace, which was a fashionable employ
ment fifty years ago; it requires but little
skill, and gives unlimited range to the
thought and but little care to the finders ;
yet not one in fifty can hear it mentioned
without mentally recoiling at the idea. To
express fondness for it would be regarded
as the height of eccentricity. In my day,
it was a kind of recreation after our regu
lar plain sewing; regularly, once a week,
the mending-basket was placed on the ta
ble, and my sisters and I chatted gayly, as
we drew the rents together j but now it is
so shocking to think of, that I almost be
lieve half of our young ladies had rather
'go with a rent than to darn it. And now
, to my story.
' You have often seen your cousin Mary,
Edward's wife; they were here in the
j spring. Her many good qualities won
| your admiration; still I remember one day
| that you expressed your surprise that a
j man so handsome and nobly gifted could
! marry one who was almost unmistakably
plain—one, too, who admired beauty so
intensely as he did. Let me gratify your
curiosity.
' Once upon a time, years ago, when he
was much handsomer than now, and a ri
sing young lawyer, he loved Caroline Wil
loughby; she was extremely beautiful, ac
complished, fascinating, and a great belle,
lie worshipped her with all the enthusiasm
of his gifted nature. One summer even
ing, they were riding down the shady road
alone and in silence. lie had determined
to tell her of his devotion, but could find
no words. Her horse shyed unexpectedly,
and she fell; lie was at her side in an in
stant, pale with fright. He conveyed her
to the nearest house, and sent a servant
for a physician. He came, and fearing
her limb was fractured, signed to a servant
to remove her stocking. Off came the
dainty little boot that Edward had so ten
derly held as she mounted, and revealed a
tattered stocking. The physician smiled,
assured him no bones were broken, and
sent a carriage to convey them home.—
Neither spoke. Entering the house, he
briefly explained to her mother the cir
cumstances, expressed his regrets, and
turned to leave; then suddenly pausing, he
added, 'ln the hurry of the moment, I
had almost forgotten it—Miss Willough
by's stocking,' and, bowing, placed it on
the table. The poor girl tainted, and was
sick for some time afterward. She really
loved him, and 'twas a great blow to her.
Fhe married old Goldthwaite, the million
aire.
'As for Edward, this cold bath to his
imagination cured his love, lie avoided
ladies' society, and rapidly rose to emi
nence in his profession. 'Twas six years
after this, when he met your cousin Mary,
ller good qualities, her self-sacrificing care
of her invalid mother, her warm heart and
native sense, interested him deeply; still
his former experience had made him dis
trustful. Accident decided him. Iler
former governess was living in very desti
tute circumstances, in an obscure part of
the town, and one wet day she went to see
her. The carriage not returning, she set
out alone for her home, and met Edward.
He offered his service, and at a muddy
crossing her light slipper was lost in the
mud. He stooped to tit it on ; there was
no one in sight, and she timidly advanced
a pretty foot, with the cleanest of stock
ings, and one of the daintiest of little
darns! He could resist no longer, and
when he told the story, showed me the
identical stocking.
' And now,' said my grandmother, kiss
ing me, 4 the rain is over, the sun shining,
and there is Fred flrahame at the door.'
A Strange Apparition—The Dead
Child's Ghost.
The New York Presbyterian, of late
date, relates this story :
We were returning from our spring
meeting of Presbytery—one gentleman
and two young ladies—in a ' rockaway,'
and the road none of the best. Night,
cold and damp, overtook us eight or ten
miles from home, but only a short dis
tance from Judge Plank's who, after we
had arrived at his house, narrated the fol
lowing unique tale. Said the Judge as
follows : ' Years ago we had in our house
a sweet little child, about four years of
age, and the object of course, of a very
tender affection. But sickness laid its
hand upon it. Kemedies, promptly re
sorted to all proved in vain. Day after
day the rose faded from the cheek and the
fire in the eyes burned low; and at length
death closed those eyes and sealed those
lips forever; and we learned by trying ex
perience how intense a darkness follows
the quenching of one of those little lights
of life.
'The time rolling sadly on, brought us
at length to the hour appointed for com
mitting our treasure to the ordinary sure
custody of the grave. The friends assem
bled, the customary services were held,
the farewell taken, and the little form se
curely shut beneath the well screwed cof
fin lid, and in due form the grave received
its trust. We looked on, and saw the
earth thrown in, the mound raised above,
and the plates of sod neatly adjusted into
a great sheltering roof, and then wended
our way back to our desolate home. —
Evening came on and wore away. My
wife had gone into an adjoining room to
give some directions to a servant, and I,
unfitted by the scene of the day for aught
else, had just laid my bead on my pillow
in our room upon tne first floor of the
house, when I heard a shriek, and in a
moment more my wife came flying into the
room, and springing upon the bed behind
me, exclaimed;
' See there, our child ! our child !'
' liaising my head, my blood froze with
in me, and the hair upon my head stood
up as I saw the little thing in grave
clothes, with open, but manifestly sightless
THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1860.
' Wiping away the perspiration, and ta
king a few long breaths, I prepared to
counter-march the little intruder back to
its forsaken bed. Hack wc went, it keep
ing at my side, though still asleep. It had
walked quite a distance across the wet
grass. 1 found the door of its home ajar,
just as the fugitive had left it, and its
sleeping parents unconscious of its absence.
The door creaked as I pushed it open, and
awakened the child, who looked wildly
around a moment, and then popped into
bed.
'Now, if it bad not been for my wife, as
[ have said, I should, on the appearance of
this apparition, have made a leap of un
common agility from that window, and af
ter a flight of uncommon velocity, for a
person of my age and dignity, I should
have been ready to take my oath in any
court, either in Christendom or heathen
doig. that I had seen a ghost.'

Shower of Meteoric Stones.
N K\V CONCORD, Muskingum co., ()., May 5.
EDS. COMMERCIAL: —On Tuesday last,
(May, Ist) at 27 minutes past 12 o'clock,
M., a sharp report was heard in the heav
ans, very similar to heavy cannonading,
creating quite a visible shock, which was
heard and felt many miles distant, and
which some people actually avowed was the
sounding of the last trump. Immediately
succeeding these followed twenty-three dis
tinct reports, following each other in quick
succession, and which made those who
heard stand aghast with fear.
The sound then seemed to die away in
to a heavy roaring like distant thunder;
succeeding this again, some men who were
at work in a field, heard a buzzing sound
as ot a body rapidly passing through the
air, and, giving their attention in the di
rection from whence the sound proceeded,
they discovered a body descend, and strike
the earth about one hundred yards distant,
and, upon making search, found a hole in
the ground, from which, after some labor,
they extracted a stone weighing fifty-one
pounds —the stone was of a quadrangular
shape, anu resembled in appearance a river
stone, the surface being somewhat black
ened as though washed by the waves and
then bleached by the sun. The surface,
though generally smooth, was irregular in
some places, such as small crevices which
might contain a pebble. Ppon being bro
ken the stone was found to be of a grayish
cast, and somewhat gravelly ; being inter
spersed with particles of metal, and by be
ing biought in contact with some other sol
id substance it would ring like bell metal.
After satisfying their curiosity with this,
immediate search was instituted for more,
and guided by the sound, they had not pro
ceeded more than 250 yards before they
discovered another, which was buried 20
inches in the ground, having been obstruct
ed by striking a rail fence, breaking one or
two rails. This stone was exactly similar
to the first. It is evident from the glazed
surface that they have not been severed
from any other body.
The two stones above described both
alighted upon the farm of Jonas Amspoker,
who lives three miles east of Concord. —
Another was found to have fallen upon the
farm of Mr. law, one mile east of town.
This is exactly similar, in every particular,
to the others. A number of others weigh
ing from two to fortj pounds, have been
found within a range of five or six miles.
eyes, and pale as when we gave it the last
kiss, walking slowly towards us ! Had I
been alone—had not the extreme terror of
my wife compelled me to play the man
I should have leaped from the window
and bed without casting a look behind.
' Hut, not d iring to leave her in such
terror, I arose, sat down in a chair, and
took the little creature between my knees
—a cold sweat covered uiv body —and 1
gazed with feelings unutterable upon the
object before me. The eyes were open in
a vacant staro. The flesh was colorless,
cold and clammy; nor did the child appear
to have the power of either speech or hear
ing, as it made no attempt to answer any
of our questions. The horror of our
minds was the more intense as we had
watched our child through its sickness, and
had been but a few hours before eye wit
nesses of its interment.
' While gazing upon it, and asking in
my thoughts, What can this extraordinary
Providence mean ? For what can it be
sent? the servant girl having crept to the
door, after a time, suggested •' it looks like
Mrs. 's child.'
' Now, our neighbor had a child of near
ly the same age as ours, and its constant
companion. Hit what could bring it to
our house at that hour, and in such a
plight? Still the suggestion had operated
as a sedative upon our excited feelings,
and rendered us more capable of calm re
flection. And, after a time, we discovered
in truth, that the grave clothes were night
clothes, and the corpse, a somnambulist!
And it became manifest that the excite
ment attending the loss and burial of its
playmate, working upon the child's mind
in sleep, was the cause to which we were
indebted for this untimely and startling
visit.
Fine specimens of these mysterious vis
itors are in safe keeping here now, and
can be seen at any time by curious visitors.
We add the following from the Colum
bus statesman :
We have received letters from the same
region of country, which not only corrobo
rate the statement, but add greatly to the
singularity of the phenomenon. It appears
that the noise alluded to was heard through
a wide range of country, and that stones of
the kind described were found freshly im
bedded in the earth in the same manner,
miles apart.
In Morgan, Muskingum, Coshocton,
Morrow, and Tuscarawas counties, the ex
plosion was distinctly heard. Near Mc-
Conuelsville, scverul hoys observed a huge
stone descend to the earth, which they
averred looked like a red ball, leaving a line
of smoke in its wake.
The phenomenon seems to be unprece
dented. These stones were found nearly
fifty miles apart, although the explosion
was heard at all places mentioned from the
direction of New Concord. Houses were
shaken by the shock, aud in one or two in
stances the doors burst open. It occasion
ed a great deal of consternation in that
section of the country, as well it might.

Dr. Torrey, of New York, has found that
the common illuminating gas, (carburret

pipes, produces an explosive deposit on the
inner surface, which, if struck, however
slightly, will detonate. This may account
in a great measure, for the explosions hith

this will rival the Pennsylvania oil as an

vantage than when surrounded by verdure,
or by white flowers. The latter may also
be advantageously dispersed among groups
of blue and orange; also of violet and yel

A Journey Under Paris.
A correspondent of a Swedish journal
funishes an interesting account of a sub
terranean voyage made through one of the
admirably constructed sewers of Paris.—
The boat which conveyed the party was
I reached by descending a flight of steps to
j the depth of 45 feet. The boat, a flat
-1 bottomed affair was lighted by four lamps.
! The sewer is an archway, fifteen loot high,
and of equal breadth, with a ditch or ea
nal about ten feet wide, wherein all the
| filth and dirt of Paris is carried away. On
the sides are sidewalks, which, together,
are about four feet wide. The whole is
■ built of beautiful white sandstone, and is
: kept remarkably neat and clean. Nostench
or bad smell was perceptible. The denser
portion of the filth is carried away through
large drains beneath the sidewalks. The
j sidewalks are excellent and exhibit no
| signs of dampness, while the walls of the
. archway are kept whitewashed, and are at
all times as white as the driven snow. Tho
I structure possesses the properties of an iin
; mense speaking tube, the workmen being
j able to converse at the distance of two
i miles from each other. The echo is very
i strong and lasting. The fabric is said to
I be built after a model of the catacombs of
; Rome, aided by all the latest improvements.
! On both sides, at about two hundred yards
! distant from one another, are openings
through which the workmen can ascend by
' tucuis of permanent iron ladders, in case
i a sudden raiu storm should cause the water
to rise over the sidewalks, which is, howev-
er, of rare occurrence.
The contents of the scorer of course flow
into the river b'cine, and tfie current is suf
ficient to carry the boat used along with
considerable velocity. Large reservoirs aro
constructed at intervals, into which the wa
ter can he turned for a short time in case
it should be necessary to have the canal dry
for a little while. The whole work was
completed in two years. Besides the main
canal there are many minor oues construct
ed under the principal streets, allot'which
pan be made to communicate with one an
other. These admirable underground works
are accessible from the Louvre, the Tuille
ries, and from all the barracks, and should
the Parisians take a notion to barricade the
streets in any part of the city, the Imperi
al Government might, at short notice, and
without any person being aware of it, trans
port troops, and if there is time to make
use of the reservoirs, so can cavalry also be
transported in the same way. There is an
end to shooting on the soldiers from the
windows, and a revolution in Paris will soon
only be remembered as things that have
been never to occur again. Through these
underground passages a prisoner can easily
be taken from the Louvre to the Seine,
without attracting attention, and thcnco
sent olf by railway, which is near at hand.
This splendid system of sewerage was ono
