`On his repealing the same song which he sang
to me eight years ago.
HT ZLIZABETII TOUATT.
.„r That song again—it has unlocked
The floodgates of the past!
And crowding round dim memories come
Of when I beard it last.
What weary years—what happy years,
Since than have passed away ;
And yet, while looking back through tears.
It seems but yesterday.
The chain ofpure and holy thought •
To me again is given ;
Thoughts all too glad and bright for earth,
Too passionate for Heaven!
I love, nor doubt—l hope, nor fear,
I ween—'tis luxury!
While friends now , lost—or changed—or dead,
Come back in dreaffis to me.
That song attain—that song again !
There's something in such lays
That stealeth gently o'er the heart,
Like thoughts r.f other days:
And as I bow my weary bead
And listen to the strain,
Tears rush unbidden to my eyes:
I am a child again!
SONG.
My heart is like the failing hearth
Now by my side,
One by one its bursts, Of flame
Havo bust and died. •
There are none to watch the sinking blase,
And none to care,
Or if it kindle into atrengtb.
Or waste in air.

On sunny hours, I

An hour with the Colonel
It is now about thre6 years since the following
singular incident was related to us by an esteem:
ed though eccentric friend of mine, who had just
returned home from a two year's tour in Europe.
Colonel I.l was an estimable fellow, al
though possessing many strange and whimsical
peculiarities: Most of his time, whilst abroad, hud
been spent in Paris, and with a pertinacity which
amounted almost to monomania, would he relate
anecdote after anecdote of his numerous adven
tures during his sojourn there, until the mention
of La Belle France was a complete terror to his
friends.
We were seated in the comfortable hack par
lour of the Colonel's dwelling, before a blazing
coal fire, snugly ensconced in two luxurious aim,
chairs with a bottle of red seal l'ort• on the table
between us: alongside of the last mentioned arti
cle stood two respectable looking, long necked
glasses, which frequently come within friendly
contact of our too sociable digits. We had been
for some time engaged in a debate on the subject
of duelling. I condemning the practice as semi
barbarous, bloodthirsty and 'Donna! ; whilst he,
on the contrary, with all the feeling of a soldier,
and with great warmth hooted at my reasoning
nod insisted upon:its being the only remnat:t of
chivalry, that an honorable man ought never to
yield. The Colonel then recurred to the charac
ter of the French in relation tm•-this subject,
when, with a sigh of resignation, 'I lite fresh Ha
vanna, threw myself into the most 'comfortable
position I could assume, and crossing my legs
waited patiently for the infliction.
It was one fine evening in the early part of
June,' continued the Colonel, I was' sauntering
lazily down the Rue du Bac,' near where it in
tersects the 'Rue de Serves,' when, attracted by the
brilliant light issuing from a celebrated 'Cafe' keiit •
by a good natured emigrantfrom Languedoc, who'
gloried in the soubriquet of to vieux Jacques, I
carelessly entered and throwing my self into a seat;
gazed around me in search` of some chance food
for amusement or reflection. The Cafe was
crowded when I entered, but after continuing a
while, it gradually grew thinner until but few
beside my self remained. It was then for the first
time that ray attention was drasin to rigroup that
occupied a table , at: the extreme end of the apart.
went. It consisted of (four individuals,' two of
whom, judging froth their fier deportment as Well
as their military undresS were officers, whilst the
others I could
_have saurn at one • glance were
bookworms. My suspicion' proved correct, they
were law students, and the four had met, as I af
terwards learnt, according to previous arrange,'
, ment.' • I
The elder and paler l of the students was in
tently and almiist fierceiy conversing with one of
the of Who, by hi; cool ironical demeanour,
Seemed to be goading im on to matinees. At
lost, tv ith the froth fairly 'foaming from his lips,
he sprung from his seat and in a voico almost in
articulate with passion,, he hissed out-the epithet
Neehanl ! A satisfied gle - am of triumph shot
athwart the countenance of the other who calmly
answered, ' '
. Enough' Monsieur your Aehaviour truly
gratifying. There is no time like the present for
settling such trivial matters; if you are at leisure!
. I am always ready to punish villainy, -and
rest assured Monsieur! that you will find mane

• Willingly; replied the othl, ' sad according
ly each second loaded two of the implements.
During this time the principals were very differ
ently employed. The offi.cer hid thrown himself
carelessly into a chair, and all t h e most perfect
nonchalence, was humming ma te' opera tune,
beating time to the ! music wit . hit rattan upon
his boot. The other, with hit hands clenched
behind his back, and his face bhck with passion,
was striding rapidly up and &min the floor,
completely wrapped in his ova L l dark thoughts,
- save when a hasty glance at the preparations told
hie impatience to have the cane retioved.
• Now Gentlemen,' said Alptons& addressing
both principals, ' if you are really we will imme
diately proceed to business—tine lies and the
vitrol are already on their rou'zds. ' Both prin

at either end of the apartment, fuse ten paces a

between them. The officer ak he took-his posi

strainiof the Eulieb harp, passing which. we soon
lost the last remnant of the light dine. Leaving
o Gothic" and f•Audibou" amines on our •fight,
we continued our,journey in what is termed the
•' Main" mil, until we came to a small Imams
where • gentleman' by the name of Dr. Mitchell
heed four mouths. 11114 he might be relieved from
an affection of the lungs. Many thought it was
a settled consumption—this i might have been the
case: certain it is, however, he experienced en al
most entire cure before leaving. Mr. Allen and
lady else were the inhabitants of this house under
ground, for some weeks, taking sketches in oil s to
be engraved end published in Europe. :
A little distance beyond the house' there is a
!arse rock which has fallen from the roof of the
cavern, very much resembling. the hull of a steam
boat. Behind this rock is an opening calleJ the
oDag-hole." As unpromising as this may sound,
and as difficult as may be the entrance,lt leads to
the most interesting and wonderful portion. of the
viihole cave. Soon you arrive at the o Side-sad
dle" F it, and next to the Bottoutles Pit." Thie .
is said to be 180 feet in depth, and it crosses your
path so completely, that there would be no farther
progress, were it not that the proprietor has thrown
a temporary bridge across it, with a railing -upon
one side, and that a frail one. The sides of this
pit are as perpendicular as the sides of a well.—
That we might base a gond view of at, the guide
saturated a newspaper with oil from his can;set
it on fire, and threw it to the bottom, where it
illuminated most hsainifully, the whole pit. TLe -
next point of interest is the river o Styx."
We were now four miles from the mouth oldie
cave. Three of us got into a_ canoe, with our
lamps in the prow and our guide as ferry-man,
and soon landed on the other side, leaving our
companions with their lamps, until our tottering
craft could return for them. This river, I should
suppose, is about 100 yards in width, withuut a
ny current, five or six feet in depth. and as trans
parent as air. A few steps farther on is-the river
o Jordan," a little wider, and about as deep as the
"Styx." One fourth of a mile from this is the
Echo " river, the deepest and the widest of
the three, being about twelve feet in depth and''
half a mile in width. In several places we dis
c. vend quite a current. By the barometer it has
been ascertained that the surface of this river Is (I
few feet higher than the surface of Green river,
which runs. about a half a mile from the ' , Cave
Hines." It must, of course flow into the Green
river. We were now five miles from the entrance.
The transparency of the water is astonishing, as
vire could see the sand' and pebbles by the light of
our lamps, in ten and twelve feet of water, as
plainly as if they were in air. On our passage
across, we saw many of the eyeless fish, floang
in the water without any apparent concern for
their safety. With a scoup4tet we caught several,
and ezamiued them closely. ,They are colorless,
about ail to eight inches in length, and without
eyes. They are an entirely new species, finely
suited to their dark and
-silent abode. I caught
rieveral crawfish in my hand, that were entirely
white. There is also a cricket of most singular
iihape, that is white; having its home here, and
filling up the measure of living things in the cave.
The guide said that the river was very low, but
we found that we had to stoop down to get under
the roof soon after we left the shore. Last Fourth
of July, a party of two ladies and two gentlemen,
with the guide, crossed the river, which was thin
slightly rising, and made a visit of some sit or
eight hours. Upoii-their return, they found the
river . had 'risen four or five feet. Dismay seized
upon them fot a time, and they gave themselves
up for lost, not knowing when the water would
fall, or whether they could get under the low por
tion of the roof, spoken of above. They termini],
however, to try it, and stepped into the email 'fiat
boat with beating hearts. 00 coming to the
pinch, they all laid down fist on their backs in
the sand and water which was at the bottom of
the craft, and succeeded in squeezing themselves,
and their cockle shell of a boat, through the open
ing left by the still rising water. One hour lung
er, and their egress would have been latterly stop
ped. On arriving at the mouth, theY found that
there hrid been a tremendous fall of rain, which
hod su'ddenly raised Green river as much as it
had the river in the cave.
About half way across the river, the cavern ex
pands into mammoth proportions, and the num
ber of cavern's - above ire innume.able. Here is
the remarkable echo, .which gives its name to the'
river, A slight stroke of the oar'' upon the frail
boat is repeated millions of time's, receding at each'
suecessive repeat, until the sound lbei away,'Uni

The ear is never surfeited 'with this' =Wienl ecbt,,
and all the dderent nOses we 'coilld conjure up

thunder burst upon the air, legrand and stinting,
as any ever heard above; always, however, 'gm

CATOGIVUS4..A THRILLING &RETCH.
It was a breathless. night in June. My win ,
dews were all open, and yet the flame of my can
dle scarcely flickered. I had became deeply in
terested in the pages of a new book, and was
heedless of the lapse of time, or the circumstances
around me, until a moth fluttered in the flame,
and the crackling of its filmy wings attracted my
attention. Upon glancing at my watch, which
lay beside me on the table, I found to. my sur
prise that it was already after midnight. I de
termined thereupon to read no snore, 'and shuttaig
my book, walked across the room to draw the
curtain, intending immediately to go to bed; but
the moonlight shone so pleasantly in at the win
dow, that I was fore. d to sit down and lean upon
the sill, and gaze out Upon the scene. l'here
were a few thin, whitish clouds hanging about
the horison, like the distant wings of an enor-,
mous spirit ; but otherwise the sky` was perfectly
cloudless. Above, the moon was shining peace
fully; and below, the world' of green lay dream
ing in its misty shroud, half obscured, save where
the curving river, glancing in the Moonlight,
shone like a burnished blade of steel.—There is
a strange time:nation in sitting in the moonlight'
—and for almost an hour, I sat leaning out into
the air. All was silent, save the morion.nous
musical gurgle of fr gs in the pond, and at inter
vale the rustling of green leaVer_t, as a tremulous
breath of wind Swelled gently, and - then d ed a

How long and tedious seemed the moments—
they were years to my excited wind—and no one

not answer it. Agaiii I beard a loam: knock; I .

to the dour and called rot my mother. Instantly
the horror of the cry .bruught the family M my
bedside. They lifted my', hand, and it fell again
upon the coverlid. They felt of my heart—there
was not a flutter of a pulse. fur all that it seemed
as if hell itself could not be worse than thew
