How brightly and bewitch inglysbe shone=a star amid the somber corn any . "But what. in the. world has ho left me ?" puttered John Clark. "I believe be hated we—l believe-they all bate me." " Hush, dear." " I bequeath to John Clark, my dearly be loved nephew,", read the grim attorney, "as 4 reward for his firmness in resisting ternptas Pon for the last two years, and: hissdetermin trtion to improve in all acceptable.thitigs, my one-horse shay. which- has stood in my barn over twenty-five -years, requesting that he shall repair it, or cause it to be repaired, iu a suitable manner." 'That was all. Some of the people gathered there tittered, all seemed to enjoy the confu sion of the'poor young man. His eyes flash ed. fire, be trembled ext'essively ; poor little Jenny fairly cried. • ' "To think," she said to herself, " how hard he has tried to be good,-and that is all be thought of it !" Wish you joy," said a red-headed youth, with.a pin, as he came out of the room. John sprang up to collar, the fellow, but a little white hand laid on his coat-sleeve re strained him. • "Let them triumph, John, it won't. hurt yoti t " said Jenny with her sunny smile; Tease don't notice them, for my sake." ,• "Served him - right," said _tsai Spriggs, the niece of the- old man just dead, and to whom he hack left all his silver, "served him tight for uturr3 ing that ignorant goose, Jenny Brazier. I suppose she calculated a good deal on the old man's generosity." To which 'she - added, in a whisper that only her own bean heard, " He might have matried me. He bad 'the C'hance, and I hayed him better than any one else—better than that pretty little foul, Jenny Brazier." "Now we shall see how deep his goodness is," said a maiden aunt, .through her nose ; he stopped short in wickedness just because he expected a fortune from my poor, dear brother. Thanks to massey that be left me five hundred dollars. Now I c-in get a new carpet; but we will see luiw much ufichange there is in John Clarke—he always was an imp of wickedne-s." i • Well, I gueSs Joan Clarke' II IMre to be po ntented..w.i *his. li . ttla.,ten feet shant.v:' said the father of Susan Sprlggs to good old Dee non Joe.

BY BAYARD TAYLOR After descending 210 feet We saw the f_rat veins of rock salt, in a bed of claY sod crum bled sand-Moue. Thirty feet more and we were in "a , world of salt.' Leiel ,gallepea branched off from the foot td "'staircase; overhead a ceiling of solid salt, under foot a floor of salt, and on either' side 'dirk gray walls of salt, sparkling here and there . Kith minute crystals. Lights glimmered - ahead, and on turning' the' corner we came upon a gang of workmen, some litte l king away- - tit the solid floor; others trundling wheelbar rows fullsof precious cubes. Here Was the chapel of St. Anthoiy,the oldest in the mine s , —a byzantine excavation, supported. by columns with altar,_ drucitx, and life-size statues of 'saints, apparently in black marble, but all as salt as Lot'i wife, as I discovered by putting my tongue to the nose of John the saptist. The htiinid air of this upper story of the mines has damaged some of the saints. Francis, especially, is running away lite a dip candle, and all of his head is gone except his chin. Thu limbs of Joseph are dropping off as if he had the Norwegian leprosy, and Lawrence has deeper scars than his gridiron could have made, running up and doweu his hick. A lien al light turned at the a:Lnr, brought in to sudden light this strange temple, which presently vrmisbed into darkness assif s it bad never been seen. I cannot folf6w, step by step, our Tourney of two hours through the labyrinths of this wonderful mine. It isa-bewildering - maze of galleries, grand halls, • staircases and vaulted chambers, where one loses all sense of die. • tauce or-direction, and drifts along blindly in in the wake of his conductor. Everytidog; was solid salt, except where great piers of ; hewn logs had been built up to support some' threatening roof, or vast chasms, left in quarrying, had been-bridged across. As we descend to lower regions, the air became [ more dry and agreeable, and the saline walls more pure and brilliant. One-hall, 108 feet high, resembled a Grecian theatre, the traces l of block taken out in regular layers represent= I ing the teats for the spectators. Out of a ; single hall 1,000,000 cwt. of salt had been taken, or enough to supply the 40,000,000' 1 inhabitants in Austria one year. Two obelisks of salt commemorated the I visit of Francis I. and his Empress in another spacious irregular vault,. through which we Dassed.hylgns. ef a...wooden _l4ridne ,re.stiuz,l on piers ot the crystanne rock. Atter we I had descended to the bottom of the chamber, a boy ran alongabove With a burning Bengal ; light, throwing flashes of blue lustre orr' the' obelisk; on the scarred walls,vast arches; the entrance to deeper halls, and the far roof, fretted with the picks of the workmen. The effect was magical—wonderful. Even • the I old Prussiele,who bad the face-of an exchange broker, exclaimed, as lie pointed upwards.: "It is like a sky full of cloud lambkins:" Pre sently we entered another and loftier chamber, yawning aownwarci_like the mouth of hell,' with cavernous tunnels opening Out of the further end. In these tunnels the workmen; I half naked, with torches in their hands, wild ci ies, fireworks and the firing of gunk (whits!' ; here so reverberate in the iwprisoued air tbatl one e an.f e et every wave 'of sound,) gave a rough representation of the infernal regions,l for the benefit of the crowned heads who visit the mines. The effect must be indeed dia helical. Even wc, unexceptionable characters I as we were, looked truly unearthly in our ghostly garments, and the livid glare of the fireworks. - . A little further, we struck. Upon a Irikp four fathoms deep, upon which we embarked in a heavy square boat awl entered a gloomy tun nel, over the entrance of which was inscribed 1 :e.-sart - iftteri,""Tris6 - ff Itittltrycro-t"- a place the motto seemed ironical, "Abandon hope, all ye who enter here,"would have been more appropriate. Midway in the tunnel,the halls at either end were suddenly illuminated, and rr crush, as of a hundred cannon bellow-1 ing' thrmigh the hollow vaults, shook the sir and water in such *he that ()Ilr bOat had not ceased trembling when we landed in the 1 further hall. A tablet inscribed "Heartily welcome!" saluted us on landing. •• Finally, at the dept of 450 feet, our journey - ceased, although we , were but half way to the bet- toin. The remainder is a wilderness of shafts, I galleries and smaller thanfbers, the extent of I which we could not conjecture. We - ,then returned thro' scores of tortuous pa.•:sagis 'to some vaults where a lot of gnomes, naked to , the hips, were busy with pick, mallet and wedge, blockiut out and separating the solid pavement. The processis quite prirartive,searcely 4E1 . - feting from thrit of the ancient Egyptians in quarryinl , , granite. The blocks are first mark- I ed-out on the surface by a-series of grooves. One side is then deepened to the required thickness, and wedges being inserted under the block, it is soon split off. It is then split transvi , ..rsely into plebes of '1 cwt.. efich, in , which form it is ready for sale.. 'Those in tended for Russia'are rounded: on the edges and' corners until they acquire the shape of largo cower:ls; for the convenience of transportation into the interior, of the country. The wither of workmen einployed iii the mines is 1500, all of whoin belong to the "upper crust,"--=that is, they liVe oh the out side. of the world. They are divided' into gangs,. and relieve every sii hours. Each gang•qtrairies out,iit an average, a little-there than 1,000 cwt. of salt in that'space of tithe; making '•tho annual yield 4,500,1)00 'newt:l The - theti , ge sail were "fine inuisbnlar, healthy looking fellows, and the officer, - in answer to my questions, stated that their-sanitary-con dition was quite equal to that •of the field laborers.
