THE CHAMBERED NAUTILUS The following exquisite lines are at the close of Dr. liolmes' Autocrat of the Breakfast Table," in the last Atlantic Monthly : This is the ship of pearl, which, poets feign, Sails the unshadowed main— The venturous bark that flings On the sweet summer wind its purpled wings In gulfs enchanted, where the eyren singe, And coral reefs lie bare. Where the cold sea maids rise to sun their streaming hair. Its webs of living gauze no more unfurl ; Wrecked in the ship of pearl ! And every chambered cell, Where its dim dreaming life is wont to dwell, As the frail tenant shaped its growing shell, Befure thee lies revealed— Its irised ceiling rent, its sunless crypt unsealed Year after year beheld the silent toil That spread its lustrous coil ; Still, as the spiral grew, He left the past years dwelling for the new, Stole with soft step its shining archway through, Built up its idle door, Stretched in its last-found borne, and knew the old Thanks for the heavenly message brought by thee, Child of the wandering sea, Cast from her lap forlorn ! From thy dead lips a clearer note is born Than ever Triton blew from wreathed horn ! While on my oar it rings, Through the deep caves of thought 1 hear a voice that sings : Build thee more stately mansions, 0 my soul, As the swift seasons roll ! Leave thy low-vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, Till thou at length art free, Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresting sea! Mysteries of Bowe's Cave.

Leaving "Mount Blanc" behind us we toiled up the "Rocky Mountains," clam bering over huge rooks and scrambling through chasms, until we gained a height of five hundred feet, we began our descent into the "Valley of Jehoshaphat," passing the "Winding Way," a narrow passage hewn out of the solid rook, or, perhaps, channeled by a barrow stream, and just wide enough to admit one person at a time, so crooked that we could see scarcely three feet in advance, while the walls are ornamented with most beautiful specimens of carving.

From the the Boston Post. A CASE Or CONSCIENCE. Mr. Ampersand is a man of somewhat mature years. He is a merchant, reason ably judicious and not un-uccessful in his business affairs. 'He has a wife and family of grown children, sons and daughters.— He is chaste and sober in his personal hab its, and has been a professor of religion. It is obvious to see, on the slightest inter course with him, that he is very credulous, of nervous and excitable temperament, with ill regulated mind, hasty in his judgments, and full of prejudices ; but he is neither malicious nor ill disposeu generally in his ordinary personal and social relation. About twenty-five years ago Mr. Am persand, who had been carefully brought up, and was at that time an active mem ber of one of the old religious societies, came out ano government man. He got cured of this by being chosen a selectman. Next he became a non-resistant which crochet he took up so earnestly, that he actually quarreled with and struck one of his friends in the zeal of argument in favor of non-resistance ; but after being prose cuted and fined for assault and battery, he dismounted, that hobby. "THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE Lam COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD." LANCASTER CITY, PA., TTJEDAY MORNING, MARCH 9, 1858. session of Congress, Mr. A. bought a lot of flour at Baltimore, for which he gave an acceptance payable in three months. That acceptance became dne in September. But meanwhile, Mr. A. had taken some new steps in negro-madness. Ile said to him self : It is immoral for me to keep faith with a slav holder, and therefore it is immoral to pay this acceptance. The acceptance was given in payment for slave-grown flour; therefore the con sideration was an immoral one ; therefore it is void in law. Every man is to judge f2r himself of the morality and legality of an act. I have judged this question : I will not pay this acceptance. When the acceptance came to maturity, Mr. Ampersand was notified by the bank, but refused to pay, giving his reasons.— The reasons were ,communicated to the payer in Baltimore at the dame time that the protested paper was sent back to him. The southerner swore that he would see whether a conscience which could take and retain this flour, but could not pay for it, was good in law ; and he ordered suit in the district court. Soon afterwards an officer came with a writ to attach the goods of Mr. Ampersand for the debt. Mr. A having learned from the abolition newspapers, which alone he reads, that a man has a right, and is bound even to resist the execution of any human law which he deems u just and immoral, and that he may, and, if he thinks the oc casion requires, ought to, shoot the officer attempting the execution, undertook to apply the doctrine in the present case to the „United States marshal. In the scuf fle which ensued, Mr. A. was knocked down and badly bruised ; he was arrested and held to bail for forcible resistance to process, and assault with,intent to murder; and after having been confined to a sick bed for a month, is just able to crawl about and attend to business. But, during his confinement, the mind of Mr. Ampersand took a new kink. He really is a conscientious man ; and his at tack on the marshal was the result of a logical deduction from his premises of con science. Instead of repenting of what has occurred, he has only grown more logical and consequent in the application of his principles. This new shape of mental in firmity made its appearance one night of a sudden, when Mr. A. jumped out of bed, stripped off his shirt and the bed sheets and pillow cases, tucked them all into the stove, and set fire to them. Mrs. A. be gan to scream fire and murder, for she thought Mr. A. was crazy, and that he was going to set the house on fire. But he calmed her, and told her that he would explain it to her in the morning. Accor dingly, that day he told his wife_ and daugh ters that his conscience would not permit him to have any slave grown cotton iu the house : and that it was unjust and immoral to sell or give away slave grown cotton as much as to sell or give away a counterfeit dollar, and accordingly everything of that sort must be destroyed. Mrs. A and the girls wel e compelled to submit ; and sheets, curtains, apparel, male and female, every thing had to be burned, greatly to the ter ror and disturbance of all the neighbor hood. They reconciled themselves as well as they could to the general use of linens and woollens instead of cottons, and amidst much sorrow and tribulation, got through the day. The next morning Mr. A. began upon upon the coffee, sugar, mo lasses and tea, all from slave holding countries, and put his family upon milk porridge and herb tea without sweetening, and had various articles of nalhogany furni ture taken out behind the house and thrown into the river. All this went on very well, so long as Mr. A. was confined to the house ; but so soon as Mr. A. was able to go oat, and take a look at his store, a vio lent attack of trembling seized him, and he fainted quite away with emotions of horror at the contemplation of the coffee, sugar, and cigars from Cuba, the flour and corn from Richmond, the rice and cotton from Charleston, the printed calico, sheet ings, and other manufactures of cotton, and the multitude of other articles tainted with slave labor constituting his stock ; for Mr. A. is a country merchant who keeps a general assortment. On coming to, Mr. A. declared his unalterable deter mination to destroy all these articles; but he was so enfeebled by the shock he had undergone that he had to submit for the moment to be carried back to bed, and put to sleep with anodynes. Now, if Mr. A. is suffered to destroy all A COLORED DISCOURSE.—A correspon dent of the Knickerbocker, who writes from Mansfield, Ohio, sends the following " Discourse," for the entire authenticity of which he vouches without reserve, hav ing taken it down from the thick lips of the reverend orator himself : " My tex', brodern and sisters, will be foun' in de fus' chapter ob Ginesis and twenty-seben verse."

What is to be done ? The case is a pressing one. The remedy proposed is this : As Mr. A. believes implicitly in the Rochester knockings and in the divine revelations made through that channel, will it be conscientiosly right for the friends and family of Mr. A. to send a telegraphic dispatch to Rochester, and hire the inge nious, disinterested and pure young ladies who manage the knockings, to vouchsafe a spiritual revelation to Mr. A., which shall make him pull up a little, and serve, if possible, to keep him out of the Worces ter Hospital ?

"Did you ever take an oath V' inquired the Jndge. The little girl stepped back with a look of horror, and the red blood mantled 'in a bush all over her face and neck, as she an swered : "No, sir." She thought he intended to inquire if she had ever blasphemed. " I do not mean that," said the Judge, who saw her mistak, " I mean were you ever a witness before ?" , g No, sir, I was never in court before," was the answer. He handed her the Bible open. "Do you know that book, my danghter She looked at it and answered : " Yes, sir, it is the Bible." "Do you ever read it he asked. " Yes, sir, every evening." " Can you tell me what the Bible is ?" inquired the Judge. " It is the word of the great God," she answered. cc Well, place your hand upon this Bible, and listen to what I have to say," and he repeated slowly and solemnly the oath usually administered to witnesses. "Now," said the Judge, cc you have been sworn as a witness ; can you tell me what will be fall you if you do not tell the truth ?" " I shall be shut up in tht State Prison," answered the child. " Anything else ?" asked the Judge. " I shall not go to Heaven," she re plied. " How do you know this ?" said the Judge again. The child took the Bible, and turning rapidly to the chapter containing the Com mandments, pointed to the injunction, " Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy - neighbor." " I learned that," she said, before I could read. " Has any one talked t o you about being a witness in Court here against this man?" inquired the Judge. " Yes, sir," she replied. "My mother heard they wanted me to be a witness, and last night she called me to her bed room and asked me to tell her the Ten Com mandments, and then we kneeled down together, and she prayed that I might un derstand how wicked it was to bear false witness against my neighbor, and that God would help me, a little child, to tell the truth as it was before him. And when I cam 3 up here with father she kissed me and told me to remember the ninth com mandment, and that God would hear every ;word I said." " ISto you believe this 1" asked the Judge; while a tear glistened in his eyes and his lips quivered with emotion. " Yes, sir," said the child, with a voice and manner that showed her conviction of the truth was perfect. " God bless you, my child," said the Judge, " you have a good mother. This witness is competent," he continued.— " Were I on trial for my life, and innocent of the charge against me, I would pray God for such witnesses as this. Let her be examined." She told her story with the simplicity of a child, as she - was, but there was a direct ness about it which carried conviction of its truth to every heart. She was rigidly cross-examined. The counsel plied her with infinite and ingenious questionings, but she varied from her first statement in nothing. The truth, as spoken by that little child, was sublime. Falsehood and perjury had preceded her testimony. The prisoner had intrenched himself in lies, until he deemed himself impregnable Witnesses had falsified facts in his favor, and villainy had manufactured for him a sham defence. But before her testimony falsehood was scattered like chaff. The little child, for whom a mother had prayed for strength to be given her to speak the truth as it was bef_re God, broke the cun ning devices of matured villainy to pieces like a potter's vessel. The strength that her mother had prayed for was given her, and the sublime and terrible simplicity (terrible, I mean, to the prisoner and his perjured associates) with which she spoke, was like a revelation from God himself.

The New Orleans Crescent tells the fol lowing little love story, which is so pretty and romantic in its details that one would suppose it a fiction, but for the good au thority upon which it is said to be obtained: ••. • • . Some fif een or sixteen years ago, in the Faderland, a young man named Ding and a young girl named Weenn loved each other very hard and wanted to marry. A tightness in the money market, however, forbade the banns ; so, after considering the matter, the lover kissed his sweetheart, swore a true lover's oath to come back and marry her in good time, and came to the United States to seek his fortune. He worked like a good fellow, and pros pered ; and after saving up a good sum he flew on the wings of love to Germany. But a terrible disappointment met him. His in tended bride was gone ! She had not taken cold pisen," or eloped with a tinker ; but weary of her lover's long absence, and despairing of his return, she had, like the brave little sweetheart that she was, set out for the United States, determined to find him, and enter into that united state which is the El Dorado of all true lovers. So the young man came back to this coun try, on the paddle wheels of love, and with the additional celerity which the screw propeller of anxious suspense always im parts. He sought his fair one everywhere ; many journeys he took, and much money and much sleep he lost ; but all to no pur pose. And he gave up his Christine as forever lost to him.
