In other days it pleased ine more To scale the cloud-capped mountains height, And hear the raging torrents roar Type of the great Creator's might. But no in placid scenes 1 love The same creative power to trace The plain, the sea, the skioa above Emblems of endless time and space. That inist- line, where sinks the sky And heaves the ocean's breast sublime, Seems like the bound, to Fancy's eye, That parts eternity and time. Behold that narrow zone of sand Circling the never resting sea. That pours its pillows o'er the strand Iq loud majestic minstrelsy. Frcil barri- r to thee 'tin given To gird the mighty waters round. To h II them back, when tempest-driven. They seek to pass thy fragyle bound.

Ti the morning train from Petersburg, tV-cre was a lady closely veiled, in the same car uuh ourselves. She was dressed in the purest white, wore gold bracelets, and evidently be- lon;:'' d to the higher circles of society Her delicate, thoueh well developed, and exquisitely symmetrical ; and when she occasionally drew aside her richly embroidered veil, the glimpse of the features which the be holder obtained, satisfied him of her extreme loveliness. Beside her sat a gentjeman in deep mourning, who watched over her with unusual solicitude and several times when she attempted to rise, he excited the curiosity of the passengers by detaining her in her acat. Outside of the cars, all, was confusion ; pas sengers locking to baggage, porters running, cabmen cursing, and all the usual hurry and bustle attending the departure of a railroad train. - One shrill, warning whistle from the engine, and we moved slowly away. , At the first motion of the cars, tho lady in afhit started to her feet with one heart-piercing scream, and her bonnet falling off, dis closed tha most loving features we ever con templated. Her raven tresses fell over her shoulders in graceful disorder, and clasping her hands in Mayer, she turned, her dark eyes to '-eaves J i What agony was in thafc 1 Wnat beauty, what heavenly beauty, had not bo much of misery been stamped upon it Alas! tha one glance told a melancholy tale. .

Wlnc'i is not ol eartn ; sue was ueoome Tiio qudci of fantastic realm ; her thoughts Were combinations of disjointed things. And forms, impalpable and unperceived Of other's sight, familiar were to her." TTir -nthF. the rentlemrm in black, n-re-nitting in his attention to soothe her pj ' ' lie led her bapk to her seat ; but her hair . .11 unbound; and her beauty unveiled. V. .vir rattled on; and the passengers in grtm,i resumed their conversation. Sudden ly, a vild melody arose, it was the beautiful maniac, rich, full and inimitable. Her hands were crossed on her heaving bosom, and she waved her body as the sang with touching pathos "She is far froia the land where her youDg hero ' . sleeps, And lovers around her are sighing, But coldly she turns from their gaze and weeps, For her heart in his grave is lying ! She sings the wild songs of her dear native plains, Every note which he loved awaking Ah! littla they think, who delight in her attains, How the heart of the minstrel -is breaking!" Her brother was unmanned, and he wept as only a man can weep. The air changed, and she continued: "Has sorrow thy young heart shaded, As clouds o'er the morning fleet ! Too fast have those young days faded,, That evf-n in sorrow wore sweet! . :.. If thus the unkind world wither Each feeling that once was dear ; . Come child of misfortune, come lather, I'll weep with you tear for tear ! " She then sang a fragment of a beautiful hymn "Jesus, lover of my soul. Let me to thy bosom fly." Another attempt to rise up was prevented, and she threw herself on her knees beside her brother, and gave him such a mournful, en treating look with a plaintive "save me, my brother ! save your sister !" that, scarcely, a passenger could refrain from weeping. We say scarcely, for there was one man (was he a mau) who called on the conductor to "put her out the car " He received the open scorn of the company. His insensibility to such a scene of distress almost denes belief; and yet this is in every particular, an "o'er true tale." Should he ever read these lines niay his marble heart be softened by the recollection of his brutality ! . . Again the poor benighted beauty reased her bewitching voice to one of the most solemn, sacred airs : "O ! where shall rest be found, Best fur the weary soul ?" And continued her melancholy chant until we reached the steamer Mount Vernon, on board of which we descended the magnificent James River, the unhappy brother and sister occupying the "ladies cabin." We were standing on the promenade deck, admiring the beautiful sceuery of the river, when at one of the laudings, the small boat pulled away from the shore with the unhappy girl, for the asylum at She was standing erect in the stern of the boat, her head still uncovered, and lier. white dress and raven dresses fluttering iu the breeze. The boat re turned and the steamer moved on for Norfolk. They were gone, ihc brother with his broken heart, that sifter with her melancholy union of beauty and madnees. Andrew Jaks3ns Mother. The Eev. Dr. Hawks recently delivered a lecture before the Historical Society of N. i., when he related the following story il lustrative of female heroism. "Among those (he observed) who formed a part of the settlement during the revolu tionary war struggle, was a pjor widow, who, having buried her husband, was left in pover ty with the task upon her hands of raising three sons. Of thee, the two eldest, ere long, fell in the cause of their country, and she struggled on with the youngsst as best as she could. After the fall of Charleston and the disastrous defeat of Col Buford, of the State of Virginia, by Tarleton, permission was giv en to some four or five American females to carry necessaries and provisions, and adminis ter some relief to the prisoners on board the the prison ship and m the jails at Cuarleston. Ibis wdow was one or tne volunteers upon this errand of mercy, bhe was admitted within the city and braving the horrors of pestilence, employed herself to the extent of her humble means in alleviating the deplora ble sufferings of her countrymen. She knew what she had to encounter; but notwithstand ing she went bravely on. " Her mission of humanity being fulfilled, she left Charleston on her return but alas! her exposure to the pestilential atmosphere she had been obliged to breathe had planted in her system the seeds of a fatal disease; and ere she reached her home, she sank under an attack of prison , fe ver, a brave martyr to the cause of humanity and patriotism. The dying mother, who now rests in an unknown grave, thus left her only son the sole survivor of her family to the world's charity; but little did she dream as death closed her eyes, the future of that or-i phan boy.

Revolutionary Anecdote. At the siege of Yorktown. on the 19th Oc tober, 1781, blinds or breast works were made of pipes and hogsheads filled with sand. There were four hundred American troops in a re doubt in which Hamilton and Knox were sta tioned. A general order had been given, that when a shell was seen coming the troops should cry out a .shell" but not to cry a ahot when a shot was seen. The reason of this .distinction was, that a shell might be avoided, but to cry a shot wou'd only make confusion and do no good. Thi3 order was just being discussed, Hamilton remarking that it seemed unsoldier like to halloo "a'shell;" while Knox contend ed the contrary, and that tho order was wisely given by Gen. Washington who cared for the lives of men. The argument, thus stated, was progressing with a slight degree of warmth, when suddenly, spat ! spat ! two shells fell and struck within the redoubt. Instantly the cry broke out on all sides, "a shell -a shell!" and such a scrambling and jumping as there was to reach the blinds and get behind them for defence. Knox and Hamilton were united in action, however different in words, for both got behind the blinds, and Hamilton, to be yfet more secure, held oh behind Knox, (Knox being a very large and Hamilton a small man.) Upon this, Knox struggled to throw Hamilton off, and in the effort Knox himself rolled over, and threw Hamilton off towards the shells. Ha milton, however, scrambled back again behind the blind. All this was done rapidly, for in two minutes the shells burst and drew their deadly missiles in all directions. It was now safe aud soldier-like to stand out. "Now what do you think, Mr. Hamilton." said Knox, "about crying sJulll but let me tell you not to make a breast work of me again." On looking around and finding not a man hurt out of more than four hundred, Knox exclaim ed : "it is a miracle !" This anecdote was to!d by the late Tr. Eneas Monson, and first published in the New Haven Courier. "Cut Lowe Again, Mister." A friend of ours, who is a most accomplished salesman, and who is kept very busy in one of the up-down dry-goods houses, was compli mented, not long since, iu manner and form as follows : He had a countryman in the store and was showing him a very handsome piece of ladies' dress goods, not with any great hope of sel ling it ; still there was some slight chance, and besides, it is necessary so our friend avers to keep constantly in practice. So he dashed ahead in fine style, praised the richness of the pattern,' extolled the texture of the fabric, held it up to a favorable light avouched for its ultra fashioriableness, and in short let loose a-torrent of eloquence, in which it was difficult to distinguish which was more flattered, the taste of the admiring rustic or the quality of the magnificent mousselnie. Bumpkin's eys flashed with gratified pride at the complimentary allusions to himself and unconcealed astonishment at the development of beauty in the goods and fluence in the sa lesman. . Catching our friend by the arm, he exclaimed: "Stop right here for one minute!" aud dashed out of the store with two or three rapid bounds. Grosdenap stood, a little bo thered, holding the bolt of goods across both hands, just as though he had "frozen" in the attitude in which he had so thoroughly impres sed the rural gentleman. Meantime this last mentioned individual whisked two bouncing girls out of a carryall which stood in front of the store and half pulling, half pushing them, brought them up in front of him of theHuent tongue : "Gals! stand there right there, Sally, and now Mister, cut loose ajain ! I just want the gals to hear you !" It is almost needless to say, in view ol tne peculiarity of the circumstances, that our friend was overwhelmed with his emotions, and for once in his utterance to the great disappoint ment of the father and both daughters. Too Honest . "Mr. Slocum, I believe, sir?" 'Yes sir, James Slocum." "Some six months ago, Mr. Slocum. you gave me credit for a pair of boots price five dollars. I have now . called to pay the de mand." "Owe me five dollars? Why, really, I have no remembrance of the fact." ' "Be that as it may, the debt is honest, and must be paid." Here the middle aged gentleman in pgpper and salt-cassimere took out a well filled pocket- book, and handed Slocum a twenty dollar bill, Slocum balanced the account, and handed to the middle aged gentleman, in the seasonable wearing apparel, fifteen dollars, being the ca lance on the boots." .

' - rT -J" The Murders of the Innocents, If swill milk factories had existed in Judea in the days of Herod, that potentate would have been spared the trouble of sending arm ed men over the country to murder the children and his fame might have come down to these times redolent of the odor of sanctity instead of reeking with infamy , Had he operated in a legal manner, as our modern poisoners do, his own design would have come quite as near success, and Rachel would as certainly have mourned her children, though without heaping Curses upon the head of the Tetrarch. -The bills of mortality in this city present a uniform report- from week to week, of sixty per cent of the whole number of deaths as occurin among very young children, and about fifty percent, under the age of two years, the mark fixed by Herod for . his slaughter. It were preposterous to assert that this excessive in fantile, mortality is natural or necessary. It arises from many different causes, all or at some time or other under human control, and all the result of ignorance, carelessness, or willfal wic kedness. Of the varied causes we propose at present to advert to a single one At the foot of the Tenth avenue there exists a great distillery, of itself an intolerable nuis ance, but so strongly intrenched by the wealth and influence of its proprietors that all efforts to break it up have failed. It has been present ed by the Grand Jury we believe more than once, but no law has been found strong enough to pot a stop to it ; probably because of the magnitude of the nuisance, as the man who robs by millions is likely to go unpunished, while the ragged pilferer of a dollar gets his full allowance of justice. But it is not in it3 immediate filth and stench that this distillery is most pernicious. Its ultimate effect, the substance it produces and sends all over the city in the form of poisened milk, is a curse of much more fearful nature. Web ave heretofore described the premises, the stables, cows, milk and other matters thereabout: but an official report just made to the Health officer by the Sanitary inspector, which we print in another column, is worthy of attention not so much for new facts as for recalling those heretofore set forth in Grand Jury presentments and Police Reports. The Inspector found in three rows of stables reach ing from Tenth to Eleventh avenue, more than fifteen hundred cows, each one tied in a stall but thice feet wide, surrounded with filth pauting for air, and nearly all of them in ad. vanced stages of disease. There cows are fed exclusively on warm swill, made for the pur pose in the destillery. The Inspector says the stench in which the cows live was so potent that his assisstants were forced to quit the stables for a time iu order to recover from its sickening effects. These poor diseased anim als are muked twice a dav, and the nasty li quid that comes from them is doctored with chalk, burnt sugar and other drugs, until it has the appearance of good milk, and is then put into wagons labeled "Westchester Countv Milk," "Pure Country Milk," and other lying devises, and sold, throughout the city. Of course, the greater portion of it goes to the poorer classes, those who through ignorance or inability cannot be sure of getting real milk. Vi e take it that no stronger evidence of the respect of our people for law can be required than the simple fact that with a full knowledge of the above facts they have neither burned the distillery nor the stables, nor lynched a single in this wholesale destruction of children. No words of condemnation are equal to the enormity of their offence. If they were to distribute through the town a solution of prussic acid for Croton water, the crime would be none the less hein ous than the selling of such reeking corruption under the name of milk. Suppose the fifteen hundred cows vield but two quarts each per day; more than 20,000 quarts of the venomous mixture will be sold weekly. It would be safe to calculate that from seventy-five to a hundred children are killed every week by having this "pure country milk administered to them, while hundreds of adults are afflicted with fevers and scrofulous complaints springing from the same cause. The Russian Possessions. We sometime ago mentioned that the British Government had notified the United States of their intention to take possession of the Russian Posses sions in America and those in Asia bordering on the Pacific. This, a correspondent of the "London Shipping Gazette" contends, ought to be done at once. Nicholas would thus be confined to his ports in the Frozen Ocean, White Sea and Baltic, wLick ie clustxl six aioutbs in the year, and be prevented from injuring British shipping in the Pacific. We copy what the writer says further, as it is a matter of some interest to our country : "The population of Okhatz and Kamtschatka do not exceed 14,000, of which about 5000 are Russians, living chieny in the seaporU of Pctro- I lausky, Boleheresk, N. Kamschatka, Gamst and Okhotz, all which would be easily taken. It is thought that the Russian fleet in the Pacific has taken refuge in one of these harbors. fWhat is to prevent our squadron on the China station beiug sent there ? and they might kill two birds with one 6tone, capturing the neet as well as the coun try. The distance about 1-jOO miles: time fur steamers nine, and for sailing vessels sixteen days. It borders on Japan, and would give us great U- olities in opening up the trade with that rich and populous country. e 6hould take the islands between Asia and America. The Americans catch most of their whales in those seas. If the British government took these countries from Russia they might come on terms with the Hudson's Bay Company, exchanging the lands north of 64,20, which are not fit for cultivation, for Vaueouver's Island, and any supposed rights the company claim south of that line, giving them the hunting grounds in Asia and America, as at present held by the Russian Fur Company, but reserving the sites of town on the coast, the mine -ral and fisheries. The Hudson's Bay Company would thus get rid of a powerful rival, and be "sole masters of the fur trade, as at present divided among them and the Russian Fur Com nan v. If the government offered Buch terms as these thev oucht to be accepted bv tho company ; and with free grants of lands in British Oregon wid Vancouver's Island to bona fide settlers, these colonies would soon rival their neighbors south of 49." . !

It will be impossible for me to give you a full ac count of all that took place on that day, at that particular village. An outline, however, I will try to give. About the hour of 3 J o'clock, A. M., long be fore Sol Lad shoAii the face, or had even mantled the eastern bky with the rosy blush of morn, our citizens were roused from tlieir slumliers by the tiring of a heavy brass 74, taken at Saratoga : a field on which Anterican prowens shone forth clear as a tot ten mackerel by nioon-liht, and by the flight of rockets aud roman caudles, and the yells of young America. Thte was no use trying to sleep, so by common consent we Wft our lazy couches and came to a perpendicular position, and each patriotic citizen might have been swn at his wi Ail buy tiiciuiuuM iruui ine iime me unus.

The cannon was manned, or rather boyed, by Tom Jone, aged 1 1 years and 8 months : Jim Brown, aged 11 years, 6 mouths and 16 days, avd the Rev. Josiah Howard, aged 84 years, 22 hours, 10 minutes, and aoine odd seconds. The biteciith lire afier my arrival upon the ground, passed oft" well ; but on the 17th, the gr:is and s-xis near by having lecome scarce, a young American some 7 or 8 years of age, broke into Emanuel Darlington's Dry Goods store near by, and brought out a bale of cotton, the greater part of which was rammed into the Old Saratoga.

The cotton had set fire to Mr. Darlington's Store, and the fl;imcs had communicated to the large tallow-chandler es tablishment of the Messrs. Stuarts. Well, we went to work to try to put out the fire lefore we should cMumence cclt-rating the day. The en gines worked very well so Jong aa there was any one to attend to them.

This unfortunate lady did this out of pure spite. She had lost a pig-stye by the fire.

About this time, an explosion took place.

We find in tho London Standard, brought by the Atlantic, an account of a horrible murder committed by a mother npon no fewer than six of her own children, whose throats she cut one by one as they lay in bed.
