So, ttfler all, Jiauill I Miller had hit firat wide hiwring through j the milium Cincinnati journal. We relnte thia a pler.at.t fact -not tut one very valuable, to Mr. Miller orourw lvea. llnw long, nevertheleea, might he have hlitt in linMii 'riMli,;llA vKMMbi where i t.M. the Oreou"a. llrvant'a already ancient proverb luw it, "and hear no auund nave it own di-hii:g," if he had not made that at range und during virit to Iindon, and found th Kngli-h litem team, jaded and aurlering under the long, alow jaundice of Tcnnvaoli, rnger for aomething new, and ready to rccog niie iu thia uoetiiou burnt of Weelern air and nunahine, with iu hitherto un aikcn, but uow auggtxted gnuideura of ahupe and color with it men and wn ninii aa picturejxiie and law hv a the landea' a prophecy atlea.-t ot jaawihle ecaie fnuu the opprewtive hot-hoiiao uir if artiliiial Ki.glih verae-making.

And thi us- Byrou'a and Moore's romance, w ith, however, a freedom and lurgenoss of more natural niovemeut often visible. Hia people are hardly to he considered of al together new birth in romance. His man are chiefly outl iwsamong the Pacific mountains, a Ilynm's were among the Greek Ulauda men "Linking un virtue with a tliouaand Crimea," Or men, as Mr. Miller hi maelf repeat it, "Who erred, yet bravely dared to err; A niuiiaul of that early few Who held no crime, or curse, or vice.

Twenty five year ago, say a letter writer, a eoniany of young people, far mer son auJ daughters, to the numlicr of thirty-two, drove in the early morn ing down to the ancient little city of Am boy, New Jersey, to embark in a loop for sail down the water of one of the prettiest bays that wash the Atlantic ciatst. Arrival at Sandy Hook, they feasted, fidicd, frolicked and flirted, too, no doubt, for the wavh tub and dairy can never deprive the daughter of Eve of their nerogative. At the close of the ufternoon they prepared for a glorious j bath in the water of Florida Grove, the young men retiring round the point, , leaving their fuir friemla iu uneiuliar- 1 raasetl enjoy iiientvf the utuation. Upon , their return the young farmer taw a sight that might well strike terror to the atoutiwt heart. The cruel undorto had sucked tlie poor ,'irl down to their deaths, and the wave hod cast their bodi I on the lands, from whence tiiey hail dahed ao merrily into the rolling turf a short half hour before, at not one of the whole party was left alive. Sadly the young men bore the remain of suter, friend, aud sweet! cart back to their home now 'made dosohite indeed, and widespread i wa the grief aud anguish iu the hitherto happy township of Piscataway. There wa not a family thut did not mouru the ; lo of a beloved child and daughter, and such waa the shock produced by the tor- rtble occurrence throughout the whole j State of New Jersey that the memory of. it u preserved to this day, and the story told by those who listened to it nrst, per- l,,ia ft.,,, llij.

A correspondent of the G losgow i imet, tnys: In the history of our live tliere are, perhaps, some events which become fixed upon the memory and forever re main as eases in life gloomy desert. The brightest of these I will now peak of describe it I can not. On Tuesday evening when the Grand Lodge at Louisville waa culled to refreshments tho Giand Master requested the breth- ren to keep their teat. Tht we did, wondering much what it meant. Suit- denly the curtain rose ana belore u sat about sixty children, mostly girls, neatly dressed and with happy milling face. Past Grand Master Fitch came forward and preteuted to u the orphan children of the Masonic Widow' aud Orphan' home. Cheer shook the Temple to it foundation, and tear flowed from nearly every eye. A worthy brother from thi county remarked, "I could not help cry ing I did not try to help it, and I did nut want to help it." This wa doubtleas the feeling of all. Th children wel comed and entertained u 'with songs, speeches, declamation and dialogues, which waa tha moat natural uei formauoe , I ever wilneased. Every br..th.Hr draw hi puns and over tin hree hundred dollar were thrown into tlu haU preputial by tlie little girls. I visited the H0..10. It wa a home indeed!

A BAMBOOZLKD BKItsAXD. A ererlM Wasmw MnHesi A srk rmt M HeilMle rir. A story come from Athen about Greek brigandage very refreshing to hon est people, and suggestive of the question w hether women might not govern Greece better than its men. One ofthecuies of modern Hella, a everybody know, ia the unextirpated guild of brigand', who infest the laud, defying' the govern ment, suppressing cooitner , demoralis ing the peasantry, and robbing and mur dering strangcrt or rich native. One of these unlutnged villain lately captured the youthful son of a widow woman uf property, well knowu upon the bonier. The usual message wa sent down from the hill ; the brigand chief must have one hundred drachma by a certain day, or the life of the boy he was only twelve years old would pay the forfeit. A usual, too, the last hope which a mother could cherish in such a frightful position waa the chnnce of government help. The wretchedly weak administrations which play at "in and out" in Athens ttill allow these scoundrels to hold the roadt and passes of the country, and this poor woman had to trust to her own courage aud wits. Neither were want ing ; there was tome true old Odyssean blood in her, and she hit ujwn plan for saving both her child and her drachma. She had a brother, a young fellow of per fect pluck, though hi cheek were as mooth a the Deliau Apollo s, and huu ,),, jreej ., carefully a a Greek girl. uMuS appointed to meet the robber Mj in , 0,, ,I10t, she took up 200 Jnu-lmjos and a present of cukes and I fruit pt' r,ig with her aa a "guide." On reaching the place they found the scoundrel waiting, with the captive lad bound band 'and foot beside him. The woman first ascertained by cunning queatiuus tliot the man was re ally alone, and then uttered, with many supplications, her money and the preseut of cake aud fruit.
