Soft nye, of azure and oyes of brown Allll snow-white foreheads aro there: A glimmering Croix add a glittering Crown A thorny hod and a couch of down. Loot hopen and leaflets of prayer. A breath of spring lu the breezy woods, liweet waft, from the quivering pluex— Dluo violet eyes beneath green hoods, A bubble of brooklet., a scout of buds, Bird trarblery nod clambering vines. A rosy wreath and a dimpled hand, A ring and a alighted vow— Three golden links of a broken band A tiny track on the allow white sand A tear and n sinless brow. There's a tincture of grief in the beautiful song. That sobs on the qutribron4 air, And loneliness felt In the festive throng, Sink, down on the soul 01 It trembles along From a clime where the ruses were. We heard it llr.t at the dawn of day, And It mingled with math, chimes; But yearn have distanced the beautiful lay And Its melody Iloweih from the (Sr away, And ire call knew Old Time,. 1-zi ;"-' A CORRUPT SENATOR AT lIAR RISBURO. El In the Watt-Diamond contested election case. the Committee was composed of five Re publicans and two Democrats. Mr. Lowry, a Republican, was known to litvor the Demo• erotic contestant, and it was only necessary to get another over to ensure a victory. The Democrats fixed upon Senator Kerr ns a likely subject, and quietly informed' him that he might make $lO,OOO, After this, the votes Cast by Mr. Kerr induced the Republicans to believe that he had been tampered with. An agent was appointed to wait on . him. The agent mentioned $3,000, as the price to be paid him for sticking to his colors. Mr. Kerr frankly acknowledged that he had been offered twice the sum by the other side ; but he' was generous enough to say that $12,000 would keep hint true to the party. It was agreed to keep him true at this price. Mr. Kerr repre sents the Twelfth Senatorial District compris ing Lawrence, Butler and Armstrong. Ile named Alexander Leslie, Representative from Allegheny, as his next friend, to negotiate the transaction. The Republicans named Wm. M. Bunn, of the Eleventh Legislative District, . Philadelphia. It was resolved, however, to sell the virtuous Senator out, if possible. For this purpose two envelopes were selected pre cisely similar insharacter, in which was placed some "green paper" taken from the backs of the Auditor General's Reports—thus the con tents were in fact "Greenbacks." This en velope was then sealed with sealing wax, in five distinct places, and stamped with a signet ring of Mr. Bunn, bearine the initials " W. M. B." Twelve thousand dollars were then furnished Mr. Bunn by a friend. The follow ing description of the meeting we take from the Philadelphia Times : The two gentlemen mot: As it would not be honorable JO betray confidence, we can as sert decidedly that neither one ever " blowed" on the other, end as it would be impossible to tell the story correctly without describing what transpired in that room, we had recourse to a clairvoyant, who detailed, with great minuteness, the doings inside, thusly : First, the door was locked, and after a short chat, " without any reserve," Bonn produced a large official envelope containing twelve $lOOO greenbacks. These were duly counted to see that everything was right. The report was, telegraphically, " 0. K," " That's a pretty good rake," observed Les lie. "I think I ought to have a divvy hi that —don't you think so?" he remarked to Bunn. "Just as you please," replied Bunn. "I have performed my part in the transaction, to deliver it to you, and I have nothing to say as to What disposition you shall make of it." After some chaffering, the disinterested Les lie, believing that a slice off a cut loaf wou l d not be missed, took one $lOOO bill from the package, and our clairvoyant alleges retained it for his services. I =I The envelope was then duly sealed—with red sealing wax—with a signet ring bearing the initials "W. I. K. ;', and the handsome young Bunn was in the act or delivering it to Leslie, when— Rap ! rap ! rap !—echoed from the locked door. Instaetly the careful Dunn slipped the envelope into his breast pocket, and going to the door, unlocked it, and admitted a new comer, who poked his head in, and remarked Paul Pry like— ','Ali ! beg pardon, gentlemen. Hope I don't intrude or interrupt any private business eh ?" " Oh ! no—not at all," ejaculated Bunn and Leslie In the same breath. " Bit down." "No, no, I won't stay. I see you're en gaged, but [hope you will pardon me for the intrusion." . . " uertainly—eertainly," tooth Bunn and his companion simultaneously. The intruder departed, when Bunn took from his pocket an envelope, with a big seal, on it, and handed it to the innocent and un suspecting Leslie, who received it in joyful anticipation of another "divvy" out of the contentsperhaps. The understanding was that it was to be deposited in a bank in Har risburg, subject to the order of Senator Kerr or his " friend" Leslie, and it was stipulated that it was not to be opened till the Senator's vote was given for Watt. "'Phis condition," drily remarked the care: fol Bunn, "is hardly. necessary—but you know, my dear Mr. Leslie, these things are never paid for till the work is done!" Saga cious Bunu The parting scene between the two friends was truly affecting. It.deserves to be immor talized on canvas, by the pencil of a Thither mel, or preserved in imperishable marble, in • a group by Rogers. The outstretched hands— the cordial grasp—were almost too much for " Bunny." De nearly wept, as, choking With emotion, ho said to Leslie— " Take it I It's all I could get I I wish It were twice as much"—(aside, the package was not worth tics cents !)But we draw the curtain upon the scene.

BOLD ! BOLD 1 There was a precious row when this dis covery was made. The Virtuous Senator charged his friend Leslie with 't going back" on him, and substituting the pieces of green paper for the thousand dollar greenbacks which were found in the envelope. In vain did Leslie protest his innocence I Ile was:Wil ling to swear by everything that was good, that ho saw the money put in the package, and declared it was not out of his sight after IIAR1118111:1110 GOMM the notes were put In, till it was placed in his hands by ithe worthy Bunn. There must be some devilish trick about It—but ho couldn't tell items it was—Signor Blitz or Professor Wyman must have spirited away the notes— or happy thought 1,-perhaps some one in the bank had tampered with the envelope, 'ab stracted the notes; and filled the vacum with green paper. But all these theories failed to explain the mystery. Leslie forgot the "little interrup tion" of the Paul Pry fellow at the hotel room door. Conscience stricken, he "owned up" that he bagged one of the $lOOO green backs, while it was in transitu, but beyond this he was an innocent man and would stick to it. Well, the row raged terribly. The bank officers disavowed any agency in the matter, and rent was the curiosity to discover. Notwithstanding the notoriously corrupt character of the Legislature of last winter, we were inclined to disbelieve the above. state ment when it first came under our notice ; frOm further inquiry, however, and a personal interview with the gentleman who furnished the money, we are safe in saying that, with the exception of a few unimportant features, shameful as it truly is, it is literally a true ver sion of the affair. PRESENCE OF MINI) The following story, exemplifying remark able presence of mind in an old lady, has never been in print. It is perfectly true. This old lady--But stay ; she shall tell the tale herself, :is she used to tell it to me, her little nephew : " You know, my dear; I was living In the country at the time, my little grand4langliter being my only companion. We had two fe male servants and a man servant. The man did not sleep in the house, but in a loft over the stable. One night, late in the autumn, I went up to bed at my usual hour—nine o'clock. I was early, you see, for Fanny was only seven years old, and I did not cote to sit up alone after she was in bed ; besides, by the time I had rend my chapter, said my prayers, and undressed myself, it was fully ten o'clock. Well, on this particular night, I went up as usual. I first undressed the child, and put her into bed ; then I made myself comfort able, and got my Bible, and sat by the fire— it was very cold for the season, and I kept a fire in my r oom. Alter I had finished my chapter, I knelt down to my prayers. My position as I knelt was with my back to the fire, and my face towards the bed. I Ind scarcely got on my knees when I caught sight of something unusual under the Intl. On looking more attentively, I could see that it was a man's foot. My first impulse was to scream, but fortunately I restrained myself; and, the first shock over. I was able to think. I had no doubt that it was a robber, and that if he found lie was discovered he might not stop short of murder. I dared not go to bed, and pretend I did not know he was there ; and yet, how to get the child and myself out of the room without exciting suspicion, I could not imagine. These thoughts passed through my mind in half the time I have taken to tell you ; and I was about to rise from my knees, when I suddenly recollected that my doing so at once might in itself excite suspicion. For aught I knew, it might be some one who knew my habits—perhaps even my own man servant—though I had no reason to suspect him. At all events, I determined to remain some time longer, as if engaged in my devo tions. I need not tell you that I could not give much heed to my prayers ; but I did ask for protection and guidance. Yon know, dear, that I ant a.slow, methodical old woman, and that I seldom get through my prayers in less than a quarter of an hour, so I now deter mined not to stir for at least ten minutes. What an age those ten minutes • seemed ! I never took my eyes off the shot until just before I arose, when it was slowly withdrawn out of my sight. When I saw it move I felt faint with fright, for I feared lest the man had suspected, and was going to come Out ; however, he remained quiet, and then I got up from my knees. The next thing to be done was to get the child out of bed without Causing any alarm. Speaking as calmly as I was able, I asked her it' she, was awake ; sh answered in rather a sleepy tone, lint aroused herself as I continued speaking. • Fanny, my dear,' I said, ' I have left my keys below stairs'—l felt a little uneasy at the falsehood, but I hope it was not wrong—'and I cannot undress without ihem ; I don't like going down by , myself ; would you mind getting tip, my love, and coming with me ?' Sin: jumped out of bed in a moment, and, having wrapped a shawl round her, I pushed her Lefo're me ; Vicki, when opening the door, I managed to take out the key and put it on the other side. I then shut the door and locked it ; and then, my dear, I could no longer control myself—l shrieked several times at the top of , my voice, and fainted. After all, poor Joseph, the coach man, was faithful ; for one of the MOWS called him in, and, armed with a pitchfork, he se : . cured'the robber, who was trying to get out of the window." Ilere was an instance of retention of pres ence of mind in the face of apparent danger, and the loss of self-co'ntrol when the danger hnd passed. Habit lots much to do in the preservation of the cerebral equilibrium, as we see, for instnnce, in the sailor who goes aloft withoefeeling any inclinatiOn to come down "by the run," and in the matador in the bull ring, whose fate depends on leis coolness. Education, also, no doubt, assists in keeping the brain in order. Yet here, again, we have numerous instances of presence of mind in the humbler and less educated ranks in life. One example—also a true story, though it has np peared in another form and in the guise of fic tion, and has besides been made use of on the stage—will suffice : "Caroline G—, a good-looking, finely proportioned young girl, lived ns a lady's maid with n fashionable widow, rather passe. One evening, after leaving assisted at her mistress' toilet for a dinner party, she atuused herself; before putting away the various articles scat tered about the room, in trying on apaeof sill( stockings and dress-shoes belonging to her mistress, and, leaving done so, she viewed her welldurned limbs with complacency, saying aloud—' There's a leg for a Stocking, and there's a foot for a shoe.' Having satisfied herself as to their symmetry, she divestedl her self of her borrowed plumes, put the room to rights, and awaited the return of her mistress, whom she saw into bed. That was the last time she saw the lady alive. Site was found it the morning murdered in her bed, the jewel-case and plate-chest broken open anti robbed. The robber and murderer had left no trace by which he should be captured, and, in spite of the most diligent search, escaped. Three years after, Caroline was engaged lit a simi lar capacity by a lady who took her to Paris. Site had almost forgotten the murder, and, If she thought of It, it was not with any type of discovering the criminal. It happened that she was walking in one of the public prome nades one afternoon, when, as she passed a group of men, she heard these' words : "There's a leg for a stocking, and there's a foot for ultimo." In a moment tile events of the evening before her mistress was murdered flashed upon her memory. And now for her marvelous presence of mind 1 Pretending not to have heard anything, she glanced side at the group of men.. She saw there were three, but she could not tell which of theth had spoken. She walked slowly past them, then she stopped in an undecided manner, and finally turned back, and, walking up to them, she asked to be directed to ri certain street. As she expected, all of them had a word for her, and amongst the voices she easily recognized the one that had just spoken. Their language and looks were both very free, but she only told them that they were very imperti nent, and that she would get the information she wanted from the first gendarme. She thus averted suspicion if they watched her speaking to a policeman. The next difficulty was how to inform a gendarme what she wan ted ; she had been only a fortnight in France and scarcely new a word of French. She, however, carried a pocket-dictionary with her to assist her in making purchases, and as a Means of acquiring a little French,. Going over to a bench, she sat down and searching through the dictionary, found the words she wanted, and she then wrote them with a pen cil in the fly-leaf of the dictionary. The sen tence ran thus : 'Gendarme! je aroir Lewin 00t18 arretur un meurtrier P The grammar was not very correct, as dictionaries do not teach syntax. But the gendarme understood it, and in another minute held the murderer in hls grasp. He was afterwards convicte d and hung on the girl's testimony.,' In this example we observe a kind of pre sence of mind not unusual in the female sex. First there was the natural impulse to express astonishment, subdued the moment it wrs felt conceiving a stratagem. In such a case as that of Caroline G-, ninety-nine women in a hundred would have betrayed themselves by an "Oh !" or a little scream--Sunday Dispatch, CURIOUS DREAM. Containing a Moral. Night before last I had a singular dream. I seemed to be sitting on a doorstep (in no par ticular city, perhaps), ruminating, and the time of night appeared to be about twelve or one o'clock. The weather was balmy and de licious. There was no human. sound in the all. not even a footstep. There was no sound of any kind to emphasize the dead stillness, except the occasional hollow barking of a dog in the distance, and :the fainter answer of a farther dog. Presently, up the street, I heard a bony.clack clacking, and guessed It was the castanets of a serenading party. In a minute more a tall skeleton, hooded and half clad in II tattered and mouldy shroud, whose shreds were napping about the ribby lattice-work of its person, swung by me with a stately stride, and disappeared in the grey gloom of the straight. It had a broken and worm-eaten coffin on its shoulder and a bundle of some thing in its hand. I knew what the clack clacking semis, then—it was this party's joints working together, and his elbows knocking against his sales as he walked. I may say I was surprised. Before I could collect my thoughts and enter upon any speculations as to what this apparition might portend, I heard anothOr one coming—for I recognized his clack-clack. He had two-thirds of a coffin on his shoulder, and some foot and head-boards under his arm. I mightily wanted to peer under his hood and speak to himffitffilie turned and smiled upon me with his cavernous sock ets and his projecting grin as he went by, and I thought I would not detain him. He was hardly gone when I heard the clucking again, and another one issued from the shadowy half-light. This one was bending under a heavy grave-stone, and dragging a shabby coffin after hint by a string. When he got to me lie gave me a steady look far a moment or two, and then rounded to and backed up to me, saying " Ease down for a fellow, will you r I eased the grave stone down till it rested do the ground, and in doing so noticed that it bore the name of " John Baxter Copman .lnnst," with " May, 1839," as the date of his death: Deceased sat nearly down by me and wiped Its os froutis with his major maxillary chiefly front former habit I judged, for I could not see that he brought away any perspiration.

And now we cannot hide our poverty and tatters in the friendly woods, for the city has stretched its withering arms abroad and taken us in, and all that re mains of the cheer of our old home is the clus ter of lugubrious forest trees that stand, bored and weary of city life, with their feet in our coffins, looking into the hazy distance and not wishing they were there.
