O'er the wanderers up and down; Echoing' faintly alonirthe street; Farr are heard the restb'ss teet Plodding an wearily, sadly and-drearily, Onward the last cf a hope to meet. Under the beautiful mopn there alef ps Many and many a fair young :ace, Many and many a mother weep. Bitterly over child's disgraces, Smiles, be they false, till the sun Is set, Under the moon may the cheeks be et. Signing tearfully. Sadly and fearfully, Many a heard would fain to get: Under the beautiful moon there go. Flaunting their shame in its holy light. Faces of loveliness to and fro, Straying from purity tar by night. Goodness and truth fur the light of day, Under e moon may the bad - have sway: th e could the beautiful, Ever be (Waal. Love might gladcen their hearts alscay. Under the beautiful moon there rest 'Vicious and pure,and the hour. go on, Souls that in love lard life are blest. Faces of wretchedness pale and ,van; Happiness under the moon may sleep. Misery under the moon may weep, Grievingly, sobbingly, £ainfrily, throbbingly, Hearts max make moan over sorrows deep. Under the beautiful moon to-nlght, Many will dream of the loved and lost; Many liveover with Ernii delight Hours when they suffered and sorrowed most Tears for the lost when the day is fled. Under the moon may their names be said: Fondly. endearingly, Never so cheeringly, Memory breathes of tee loved and dead.

After thishad been going on for some time, another sharp business man got out perambulators advising every one to go to his shop and see the "REvo tvriox." This appropriation of his property naturally annoyed the origina tor of the plan and he has been forced to come out and assert himself at great addi tional expense to himself and profit to the printer. _ Now and then an invention comes out that moves onr admiration and hurts no one. Capt. Ingle&ld, of the Royal. Navy, has invented a mode of steering ships by hydrostatic pressure—the pres. sure of the water in which the vessel floats. The apparatus is, of course, be low the water line, and it can be con trolled from any part of the vessel. The Captain, sitting in the cabin of the largest iron-clad, with a compass beside him, can steer her with his thumb and finger. If that is not a pretty invention, we know nothing about mechanics; and so simple, you wonder that Noah had not thought of it in the ark. as he doubtless would have done, if he had propelled by steam, and cared which way lie was steering.- ,BITRGB GAZETTE Singing Mice. Musical news naturally gravitating to wards the London Orchestra, the leading authority in music in England, two. or three correspondents of that journal tell some stories of singing mice. One writes: "The existence of these little animals, especially in domestic dwellings, is by most people regarded as mythical. though they are spoken of by writers on Natural History. Last night, however, I had au ricular evidence of the fact. About 11 o'clock I was called down to the base ment floor of my house to listen to a singing mouse. From the corner of one of the kitchens, where there is a mouse hole, came a song such as one would hear from a well trained canary bird, though in neatly— subdued tones. They were soft and sweet beyond description ' and the notes perfect and continuous, not a dis cord among them, and often accompa nied by a delicious trilling. For frill ten minutes my daughters and I stood listen ing to the music with absolute astonish ment and delight, so clear and exquisite was it. itiw much longer it might have continued to sing we know not, for we left it while yet warbling." Another says: "About twelve months since we had a singing mouse in my house at South Norwood, and evening after evening he used to amuse us with his delicate little whistling in different parts of the house. I seta trap In• ond of his haunts, and caught him early one evening. He was allowed to remain there, and continued singing in the trap for upwards of an hour. On examining him I found him of a slightly different color to the common mouse, being more inclined to a 'brown ish fawn' color, and the skin soft and silky; the nose was short, and the eyes brilliantly black and bead-like." And here is the explanation from cor respondent No. 3: "The most trustworthy explanation of the singing mouse phenomenon is that the supposed gifted little musician is in reality 'the victim to a disease caused by the pres ence of a worm, probably cysticercus fas ciolarix, inhabiting its liver. The irrita tion caused by this parasite brings on re peated attacks of coughing, the sound of which, through the tiny trachea of a mouse, closely resembles • chirping or whistling." A Female Religious Enthusiast A Belgian paper devotes five columns to a description of a new Ecstatic named Louise Lateau. It appears for some months past this young girl presents every Friday the phenomena which are called the. stigmata of the Passion. She has on her hands; 'feet, and over the heart sanguineous blisters which exude abun dantly. The ordinary functions of life are suspended. The eyes open, and turn obliquely towards heaven, appear to be attentively fixed on some object. The pupils are dilated, the face is pale, the mouth partially opened, and the features express a sentiment of admiration, min- I gled with a sweet sorrow. At times the object she seems to contemplate produces a painful starting. When not in ecstacy, she is in catalepsy. At three o'clock she starts up all at once, and suddenly flings herself on the flags, without the least at tempt to protect her face with her hands. Yet She receives no injury. She remains for an hour in this horizontal position, her arms and feet crossed. About half past four she raises herself quickly, without any assistance, her arms still in the form of a cross, as if some invisible power had placed her in this vertical position. She then falls on her knees, next sits down, and in about ten minutes the body is sub jected to a kind of torsion, and the Eel static of Bois d'Haine— for so she is called —throws herself supine on the ground. Then it is that- she is waked up; but to accomplish this the persons about her must belong to the Order of the Passion. A North Carolina Romance - The Winston (N. C.) Sentinel. tells this Rip Van Winklish story': Thirty-six years ago, a man living -in this county (then Stokes) was arrested for some violation of the law. He was tied and placed on horseback, and started off to Germantown, then the county seat. After he was arrested, his wife managed to slip him a knife and- on his way to, prison he cut his boids, and, being well mounted, he made good his escape. Noth ing was heard from him, after his escape, by his family. He had been married but a short time, and his wife mourned for him as one dead. A few weeks since, an old graY-headed man stopped at the house where she was living, and inquired for her: She came out, when he asked her if she knew him. She told him she had no recollection of ever having see* him before. He then made himself known as her long-absent husband. And now, after a separation of nearly forty years, they are again living together as happily as a newly married couple. - - A Hartford Love Altair. A lady and gentleman are now living in this city who were engaged-to be mar ried more than thirty years ago, and who are still anxiously waiting the day when they shall be made one. In 1840 they had been engaged for some time, bat did not marry because each had a mother de pendant upon them for support. The two mothers refused to live together, and their children would not leave them, but decided to postpone their marriage until one or the other should die. Both moth ers are still living, an d the gentlem fll an continues to visit the lady, their duty still keeping them apart: The man has had the consumption for several years, and doubtless ere either of the now very aged mothers shall take their departure, he will have gone to his last resting-place.l Every day a tremb ling old Vemeolleaning heavily on his cane, with feeble steps, wends his way to the house. of Juliet, a withered maiden lady, whose hair, is silvered by age hnd trouble. Truly, they -deserve happiness if any couple ever did.—Hartford Post. TuE Omnibus Pacific Railroad bill will be resisted on the ground of its cost, taking into account the possibility of the Government having to pay the bonds themselves. It Is estimated that the roads whose bonds are to be guarantee are 4,800 miles long, which at 380,000 per mile, the amount of first mortgage bonds allowed to be issued, will be $144,000,000. The total amount of tnterest to be guar anteed will, for the thirty years the bonds run, be $252,720,000, being $108,720,000 more than the principal itself. At $16,000 per mile subsidy, the entire risk taken by the Government would be $37,680,000 less than by the proposed Omnibus bill at I the subsidy named. The. bonds required would amount to 176,800,00, an the in- ter st d for thirty years to o $138,2 d 40,000. The total risk therefore is $215,040,000. WEDNESDAY, - FEBRUARY 10, 1869.
