A WIFE. The wife sat thoughtfully turning over A book inscribed, with the school girl’s name; A tear —one tear—fell hot on the cover She quickly closed when herhnsband came. fie came, and Went away—it was nothing— With cold, calm words upon either side; Bat, Jaet at the sound of the room door shotting, A dreadful door in her soul stood wide. Love, she had read of it in sweet romances— Love'that could sorrow, but never fall. Built her own palace of noble fancies, All the wide world a fairy tale. Bleak and bitter, and Utterly doleful. Spreads to the'woman her map of life; Hour after hour she looks in her soul, full PC deep dijmay and turbulent strife. Face In both bands, she knelt on the carpet; The black cloud loosen’d, the storm rain fell • Oh ! life has so much to wither and warp it— One poor heart's day, what poet can tell? — Once-a. iVtek, Bayard Taylor. Bayard Taylor was bom in the village of Rennet Square, Chester county, Pa., on the 1-Ith of January, 1825. So at this time he is only about thirty-five years old. Truly he is young for so popular a traveler, poet, auttior, and lecturer; but deservedly he stands at the head of all American travelers, both in the amount of travel and the rich and spicy way in which he describes what he has seen, for the convenience and pleasure of hie fellow-men. At the age of seventeen, he entered a print ing office in Westchester, Pa., as an apprentice, and about the same time began to write poetry, his effusions,appearing in the N. Y, Mirror, and Graham’s Magazine. In 1844 he collected and published his first volume of poems, and the same year he visited Europe. After two years of travel in Great Britain, Switzerland, Ger many, Italy and France, but principally in Ger many, ho returned to America and published an account of his travels with the title of “Views a Foot.” This work will well repay a perusal by any one, although it is now some time since it was first published, as it proves that industry, energy, and perseverance, will accomplish much more for a young man, just starting in life than all the good that wealth, with concomitant evils, can possibly bring him. In 1848, having published his “Rhymes of Travel,” he received a place as permanent writer for the New York Tribune, and in this journal the greater part of his late productions have first appeared. The middle of the year 1849 found him in Califjrnia, and in 1850 he returned to the At lantic States through Mexico, and soon after that appeared his “Eldorado, or Adventures in the path of Empire.” His fame as a poet was greatly increased by the appearance in the fol lowing year of his “Book of Romances, Lyrics, and Songs,” and immediately after, he started on a long tour in the Orient, in which journey he was absent two years and four months, and traveled more than fifty thousand miles.— Sketches of this four may be found in three exceedingly interesting volumes, entitled, “A Journey to Central Africa,” “The land of the Saracen,” and “India, Loo Choo and Japan.” His “Poems of the Orient,” appeared in 1854. These include only those pieces which were written by him while on his passage around the world. Sparkling as the warm sunlight of the East, they have passages “Rich, sensuous, and impetuous as the Arab sings in dreams,” with others which are perfectly charming. During the last few years he has traveled in northern Europe, and lectured in different parts of the United States. He was married in 1857 to the daughter of the Chief Astronomer of Gotha, Germany. Mr. Taylor is in stature, about sis feet, and middling thick-set, Hio hair and whiskers are black—the latter are of moderate thickness— high forehead, Roman nose, and pleasant coun tenance, which fully agrees with the English critic when he says, no man ever regretted making the acquaintance of Mr. Taylor, and every American should he proud to own him os his countryman. Brand psoh the Burning. —The Gospel Her ald has a communication from Mr. D. Birney, giving an acount of the conversion of a woman of such great-age that it is doubtful if another instant of the kind will occur in a whole gene ration. Mr. B. says: “Agnes Brown, aged one hundred and ten years, who lives near Hillard, who was one of Colonel Slaughter’s slaves in the Revolution, was recently converted and united with the church and was baptized. This is the crowning glory of my whole ministerial life. Perhaps no person, at least for the last hundred years, has been the feeble means under God of the conver sion of a person so very old. One hundred and ten years old I Only think of it! How many millions would be lost, if they did not repent until so late an hour I Many thoughts crowd my mind when I think of this conversion ; but will close by saying that an unconverted man tdld me at the waterside that her baptism had impressed him the most deeply of anything he , had ever jean. The Lord grant that it may be the means of his conversion.” CoMNEyDABLE Economy. —Our friend 17. is sued a license for the marriage of John Mur phy and Mary Manning, both of the Emerald Isle, for which he received from John the legal fee— sl. But the intended bride “rude.” Six weeks and two days afterward John made his second appearance at the Clerk’s office. “Misther 17. ,” said he, “in February last I got a license from you to marry Mary Manning, an’ I deed’nt marry her ; an’ now, plaz yer honor, wud yer be so good as to althcr it so it wud fit Honora Moriarty ?” Jim informed him that this couldn’t be done, and that he must get a new license to “fit” Honora. “And pay for it f” said John. “And pay for it,” said Jim W . “Ooh, indade ! thin I’m mined intirely, in tirely!” exclaimed John, “for I jiat coorted Honora to save the dollar ” A young Jonathan took it into his head one day to -get a wife. He accordingly looked around him, and was not long in striking a bargain and .settling the preliminaries. He then applied to a clergyman to perform the cere mony. “But are you prepared for such an important change in lifeasked the reverend gentleman. “I guess I bees,” replied Jonathan, “for I hev got my land just paid for, and own a good yoke of steers and a ko\r/ f ' ° “Very well,” said the holy man, with a long breath and sober face, “all these worldly things may be very proper in their place to be sure—but have you ever thought of salvation ?” This was a poser,-and Jonathan, musing, re pfiftwu i “Salvation!

Gentlemen: The Salamander Fire-Proof Safe of your manufacture, purchased by us from your Agent, Ferris A Garrett, of our city, some nine months ago, was severely tried by burglars last Saturday night, and although they had a sledge hammer, cold chisels, drill, and gunpowder, they did not succeed io opening the Safe. The lock being one of Hall’s Patent Pow der-proof,” they could not get the powder into it, but drilled a hole in the lower panel and forced in a large charge, which was ignited, and although the door, in side and out, showed the explosion not to have been a small one, it was not forced open. We suppose they were the greater part of the night at work on it We aro much gratified at the result of the attempt to cuter it, and if the above facts are of any service, you are at liberty to uso them.

My store house together with several others, wus burned to the ground in Marcfc last.
