Let me move slowly through the street, Filletl "with an evershifting train, Amid the sound of steps that beat The murmuring walks like autumn rain. How fast the flitting. figures come! The mild, the fierce, the stony face : Some bright with thoughtless smiles, and some Where secret tears hare left their trace. They pass to toil, to strife, to rest; To halls in which the feast is spread ; To chambers where the funeral guest In bllence sits beside the dead. And some to happy homes repair, Where children, pressing cheek to check, With mute caresses shall declare The tenderness they cannot speak. And some, who walk in calmness here, Shall shudder as they reach the door Where one who made their dwelling dear Its flower, its light is seen no more. . Youth, -with pale cheek and slender frame, And dreams of greatness in thine eye!. Goest thou to build an early name, Or early in the task to die? Keen son of trade, with eager brow! Who is now fluttering in thy snare? Thy golden fortunes tower they now ? Or melt the glittering spires in air ! Who of thia crowd, to-night, shall tread The dance till daylight gleams agairi? Who sorrow o'er th' untimely dead ? Who writhe in throes of mortal pain? Some, famine-struck, shall think how long The cold, dark hours how slow the light ! And some, who flaunt amid the throng, Shall hide in dens of shame to night. Each, where his tasks or pleasures call, They pass, and heed each other not. There is who heeds who holds them all In .His large Jove and boundless thought. These struggling tides of life that seem Tn wayward, aimless course to tend, Are e3dies of the mighty stream That rolls to its predestined end. " Where's Capt. Slienley."

' Ii is bequeathed to her under the will of her t grandfather, the late General O Hara. The ' Pennsylvania Legislature passed an act setting aside this legacy, and giving the revenues lo the trustees, bui it may be supposed thai such a law is null and void, and of no effect in n court j of law and equity. It is most probable, if ihe law thus passed bo correctly represented, that the lady's ultimate right to the propertj' is fully conceded, and only prevents her claiming it until she becomes of age. At the time of her elopement she resided at Mrs. Inglis's semina ry at Staten Island.

ADDISON. , The following thrilling account of the bar baiic murder of a brave and patrioticheathen is taken from Bentley's Miscellany. It shows the effect of British domination in the East Indies thirty years ago; and recent events there show that the course of Great Britain among those ancient natives is still traced in blood, still mark ed with deeds unsurpassed in atrocity and bar barity by those of any savages ever heard of. In the deserted houses of a Chinese town recently taken by the English troops, the bodies of the women were found hung, either by themselves or their friends, to save litem from the brutality of the soldiers ! Such acts .peak volumes as to the estimate placed by the natives of the eastern nations upon the humanity of the English ! Bay State Democrat.' As nur regiment marched sullenly along, I could see the tear glisten in the eye of man)' a hardy soldier. So true it is as Bayley has ex pressed il in his beautilul ballad : 'Go search the foremost ranks in danger's dark career, Be sure the hand most daring there has wiped away a tear." Yes,thfl sunburnt warrior, whoso lion-courage Wjad almost wondered at the evening be fore when scaling the walls of the fort out of! which we were now inarching, held down his! head, and uttered an involuntary sigh as we passed the spol where our srpoys were si ill busy, assisted by a few Europeans, in burying our dead. The number of men we had lost was far be yond that which we had anticipated. Our well laid plans had been made known to ihe enemy, and counter strategy had been successfully em ployed to oppose our attacks ; in a word, -we had been basely betrayed by one whom we had fancied our ally. The traitor had fallen into our hands, and little shrift had been allowed him.

Thuionly grace accorded 1 io him had been to choose the manner of his j deaUl- "e unhesitatingly prelerred the one J , am about to describe ; and io behold which we i were niarching out ol C the morning when this sketch opens On arriving on the ground we found three sepoy corps, and a detachment of horse-artille ry already on the spot. As they only Vaited our coming io complete ihe arrangements after a hall of a few minutes, attention was called, and we formed a hollow square, into ihe centre of which a tumbrel quickly drove. From it the prisoner, in company with the provost marshal and his deputy, descended. Never did I be hold him look more firmly intrepid. His air was rather that of grave triumph and martial dignity than convicted guilt. Had I been told to pick out a traitor from the assembled Jroops, he would have been the last person I should have fixed upon. He walked firmly io the cen tre of the square, and facing t lie brigadier gen eral in command, with a look of unshaken courage, bowed, as he took his station, and calmly awaited the reading of his sentence. The deputy judge-advocate was desired to road out an account of the proceedings of the general court martial held at C- on the pri- sioner, Dewallah Surhat, lately commanding ihe auxiliary native field force, charged with having on the night of the 15th of October, 184 t willingly and treacherously betrayed the Driiiah forces, with whom he was apparently acting as an ally, and thereby, &c. While the proceedings were being read, the prisoner was much agitated whenever the trea son he had been guilty of, was alluded to. He evidently was much pained. The convulsive movements of his countenance showed how acutely he felt, his position; but when ihe whole trial had been recited, when the verdict of " guiliy" was pronounced, he seemed sud denly to recover his immobility. When the sentence of death was read out, he did not quail in the slightest degree ; and finally when ihe sentence of the court commanded him 7o be blown from agun" ho looked with an almost who stood hortor-strickf'n around liim. The general was perfectly overcome. His former frieiids. and brother officers shuddered with dread at his coming fate ; for though the sentence was strictly just, yet many who had never seen this mode of execution, drew back with terror and disgtut. Surhat was the calm fst man on that field as we wheeled back into line preparatory to the dreadful cene. We look open order, and ihe.prisruier.march ed along the line, and up again between 'the rank. He was then taken to a fpd! simif hundred yards in front of our centre. No colli n was there to receive his remains, as I had pre viously 'cen at military executions no friends io take his body away after his doom had been completed o clearly was it forseen that his annihilation would be complete, his .whole frame scattered to ihe winds, the morsels left in all directions for the beasts and birds of prey. The troops were now " told off" in three di visions, the wings wheeled up, the artillery brought into the centre; thus, as it were, form ing a hollow square, except on the side on which the prisoner stood. A single gun was now brought up, turned round, and unlinked'. The drivers willingly trotted away in tlie rear. The prisoner was desired to advance ; he did so within a pace of the muzzle. The dppttty- provost-marshal produced a cord with which to bind him to the gun. For the first time, Surhat seemed shaken. Ho made a-special request that he might not be lied down. The general was solicted, and consented that it should be so. The prisoner turned upon him a look of the si'neerest and most heartfelt grati Hide, shook hands after the European manner, with the provost-marshal, and after receiving his directions, agitatedly given, walked boldly up to the cannon", and pressing his. body against ; ihe muzzle, threw his arms round the gun il- ' self, gave one lasl glance, anu stoopeu ins . t . it?- head to the niece.

An agent has gono lo Washington to bring the matter to the attention of the Govern ment. ILard Caudles. The candles manufactured at the lard mills at the west, are represented to be a mosi beau tiful article. The editor of the Cleaveland Herald, to whom a quantity were presented by ihe manufacturer, describes them as being made entirely from lard of a pearly whiteness semi-transparent as hard as ihe best wax candles, (which they closely resemble,) and will burn as long as sperm, giving a large, while, andlustrous flame. These candles are in use in the Iowor House of our Slate legislature. The light made by those we have seen, says a Ilarrisburg print, is not equal to that of the Sperm, though they are infinitely superior to the tallow can dle. They come about one-third cheaper than the Sperm. A new patent stone dressing machine has been introduced into Scotland, driven by a steam engine which will dress the hardest rock or the stiffest freestone used for ihe finer fronts of pub lic building. The stones pass through the ma chine on a long train of carriages, each car riage having one atone on it, The cutting is performed by revolving wheels having tools fastened in them. The stone enters alone end of the machine, and comes out at the! oilier, hewn and polished, and cut straight aid square down the'sides.

Advantage ol" Wearing Iaiaial66:t Straps' r x There are always two sides to a,. ques tion, and a good deal inay generally b$ said, on both sides. Our friend, Dr. SmiVh, nf ihe Medical and Surgical Journal, raised his voice against wearing snaps; notwithstanding7 I which, however, the Newburypori Iieraldre lates the following, incident, as a sort of argu ment in favor of wearing them: "A gentle man recenily supposed he had lost his waller, containing a considerable stun of money, in hi- way, from the market to his residence. Aftef hunting for it in vain, he hurried to our office with an advertisement, and being about to -leave town for a day or two, went home agairito make some change in his dress. Upon unfas- teniiig his straps, the wallet dropped out front, ihe place where it had remained snugly wedg ed, between the boot and the strap. Jt is cletfti that without straps he had lost his walle, and' whether he would have recovered il again might have depended on a good many contiii gencies, in these times." Boston Transcript, Pretty Good. Who is the author of the following we know not. It was found in an old newspaper that looked like il was primed when Adam was a boy: Sambo was a slave to a master who was constitutionally addicted to lying. Sambo , be ing strongly devoted to his master, had by diiit of long praciice, made himself an auept in giv ing plausibility to his master's large stories. One day when ihe master was entertaining his guests in his customary manner, among other marvellous facts he related an incident which took place in one of his hunting excur sions. 'I fired ai a buck,' said he, 'at a hundred yards distance, and the ball passed through' hid left hind foot, and through his head just back.of his car! This evidently producing some little doubt in the minds of his guests, he called upon Sambo to corroborate him. ' "Yes massa," says the almost confounded slave, after a moment's hesitation, me see ;de. ball hit 'im.
