B. ADAMS. a in Within a hut obsenre and tons Was heard woinan'a plaintive moan, A low, sad, agonizing prayer Rung out upon ilio midnight air. Unmindful of the iniduight storm, Beneath tha eavea a crouching fjrm. Shrank in the gloom, as if 'twere sin To list that pleading voice within. A pale young mother knelt to pray For hi m who should have been her stay , Whose broken vowa and blighted name Were now her heritage of ahame. Her lips had lost their losy hue, Her soft eyes once so bright and blue, Were dim with tears; and in her soul Was grief that would not brook control. Now by the lightning's fnful gleam, Aa in aome ghastly, haunting dream, That shrinking, guilty one might sea Those thin hands clasped in agony. He heard that prayer! for him, for him! For hia dear sake those eyes were dim ! And he who cursed at morning there, Mow wept to hoar her iniduight prayer! So strong, so pleaningly it rose, Forgetful of all selfish woes, It seemed to reach the Father's throne, Furl.im, for him, the abaudou'd cn.a! Beside her starving babes she bent, Their tresses with her tears besprent, Their ashen lips and cheeks so white, He saw them by the lightning's light. Yes, even a drunkard's heart may melt! One moment more, and lo he knelt Beside the kneeling mother there, And joined with here his midnight prayer! How bright the bow's expanding form That rises o'er tha buried storm! How pure hope's kindling watch-fires burn, To hail the lost one's loved return! O night of hope! O day of joy! One hour can all thy bliss desiroy, Long as the guilefuitempter stands With 'License' in his impious hands' License to brand that manly face Wnh shame at manhood's deep disgrace! License lo liuge that blush of shams Willi infuiny's undying flame! License the frenzied mind to scourge, To torlured reason's ulniui-t verge! Liceute, O God! ihiue linage fair, To blust and stamp the demon tiiere! Another midnight hour, behold! The mother sleeps, her babes are cold, No more tlin claim a fnl Iter's care Forever stilled her pleading prayer! Fu. ever Mil hd? No. God of Heaven! While yet lo woman's heart i- jrivea A wile's s.i eel Iruxt, a mother's love. Thai prayer shall seek thy lliruue above! Pily the drunkard a he stands tVt'ti tiliHul upon his guilty bauds. The fnud who lii-id Hie templing bowl. His blood upou his guiltier to ul'.

BY DICKENS. 1 of of to Hie When the dim and misty lijjht of a winter 'a iiioining penetrated into the court, and strug gled Ihiotigh the begrimed window of the wretched room, Warden awoke from his heav y sleep, and found himself alone. He rose and looked around him; the old tlock mat tress on the floor was undisturbed; every thing was just as he remembered to have seen it last, nnd there was no sign of any one, save himself, having occupied the room during '.In.- ni.ight He inquired of the oth er lo.lgcis and of the neighbors; but his ila.tgtiti-r had not been seen or heard of. Ho rambled through the streets, and scrutinized eueli wretched f.iee, among the crowd thai thronged thi'in, with anxious eyes. But his search was fruitless, and ho returned to the garret when night carue on desolate and dreary. For many days he occupied himself in the sunie msnner, but no traces of his daughter did he meet with, and no word of her reach ed his ears. At last he gave up the pursuit as hopeless, and long thought of the proba bility of her leoving him, nnd endeavoring to earn her bread in quiet nnd elsewhere. tJhe had left him at last to starve done. He ground his teeth and cursed her. He begged his bread from door to door. Every half-penny he could wring from the pity or credulity of those to whom he ad dressed himself, was spent in the old way. A year parsed over his head; the roof of a jail was the only one that had sheltered him for many months. He slept under arches and in duck tielus any wiare where (litre was warmth enough, or shelter from the rain. But iu the last stage of poverty, disease, and houseless want, bo was a drunkard still. At lust, one bitter night, he sunk down on a door step, faint and ill, The premature de cay of vice and profligacy had worn him to the bone. His cheeks were hollow nnd livid; his eyes were sunken, and their sight was dim. His legs trembled beneath his weight, aud n cold shiver ran through every limb. And now the long forgotten scenes of n mis-spent life crowded thick and fust upon him. He thought of the lime he had a home, a happy, cheerful home and of those who peo pled it, and flocked about him then, until the forms of his elder children seemed to rise up from the grave, and lUnd about him so plain, so clear and distinct they were, that he could touch and feel them. Looks that were lone forgotten were fixed upon him once more: voices long since hushed in death, sounded in his ears like the music of village bells. But it was only for a moment. 1 he ram bent heavily upon hira; and cold and hunger were gnawing at his heart again. He rose and dragged bis leeblo limbs a lew paces further. The street was ailent and empty the few parsers by, at that late hour, hurried quickly on, and his tremulous voice was lost in the violence of the storm. The heavv chill "ain struck through his frame. and his blood seemed to stagnate beneath it. He coiled himself up in a projecting door way and tried to sleep. But sleep lind fled from lii.sdull nnd glazed His mind wandered strangely, but he ownke and conscious. The well known shout of drunken mirth sounded In his ear c!ns9 was at his lips the bonrd was cov with rich food they were before him, could see them all ho had but lo reach hand nnd Ul;o them and though the il lusion was reality itself, he knew that he was sitting alone in this deserted street, watching the ruin drops, as they pattered on the stones; and there were none to care for or help him. suddenly he started up in the extremity of terror. He heard his own voice shouting in the midnight air ke knew not what or why. Hark! a groan! Another! His senses were leaving him half-formed nnd incoherent words burst from his lips, and his hands sought tear and lacerate his flesh. He was going mad, nnd he shrieked for help till his voice failed him. He raised his head, and looked up the long, dreary street. He recollected that out casts like himself, condemned to wander day and night in those dreadful streets, had some times gone distracted with their loneliness. He remembered to have heard many years before, that a homeless wretch had once been found in a solitary corner, sharpening a rusty knife to plunge into his own heart, preferring death to that endless wandering to and fro. an instant his resolve was taken; his limbs received new life; he ran quickly from the spot, and paused not for breath until he reach ed the river side. He crept softly down the steep stone Btairs that led from the commencement of Waterloo bridge to the water's level. He crouched in to n corner, and held his breath as the patrol passed. Never di'l a prisoner's heart throb with tlio hope of liberty nnd life half so ea gerly ns did that of the wretched man at the prospect of death. Tlio watch passed closo him, but he remained unobserved; and af ter wailing till the sound of footsteps died away in the distance, he cautiously descended nnd stood beneath the gloomy arch that forms the Ittnding place from the river. The tide was in and the water flowed at his feet. The rain had ceased, the wind was lulled, nnd all for a moment was still and qui et; so quiet that the rippling of the water iig-iinsl the barges that were moored was dis tinctly audible to the ear. The stream Btole languidly and sluggishly on. Strange and fantastic forms rose to the surface, and beck oned him to approach ; dark, gle aming eyes peered from the water, and seemed to mock Ills lieMiati in, hile hollow murmurs from be hin, I uied h;tn onward. He retreated a few pai'es, took a slmi t run, a desperate leap, and plunged li ,i to the river. Not live seconds lui'J passed when he rose to (lie water's sui iaee, but u hut a change had tnken place in tlmt short time in his thoughts mill feelings! Lile, in every toim, povetty, misery, starvation anything but ileum, tie fiutrht nnd sli'iiL'iiled vith the water that closed over his head, and screamed in ago nies of terror. The curse of his own son rung in his ears. The bore but one foot of dry ground he could almost reach the step. One limid's breadth nearer and he was ivml I, ut th title burn linn onward, under the dark niches of the liriilge and he sunk to the bottom. Again he rose, and struggled for life. For ono instant for one brief the liullJings on the river's bank, the lights on the briJgo under which the current had borne him, the black water nnd the fast flying clouds were distinctly visible once more he sunk and again he rose bright lights danced be fore his eyes, whilst the water thundered in hi cars, nnd stunned him with their furious roar. A week afterwards the body was washed ashore some miles down the river, a swollen and disfigured m-iss. Unrecognized and un pilied, it was borne away to the grave; there it has long since mouldered away. o tW After all, what would wa do without woman '? Man can cook, and black boots, and milk the cows, and wash clothes, and darn stockings, and make his own shirts; but can he give home that presence which makes the very hearthstone glad ? Can he give to each chair and picture its proper place, and adjust the shades nnd curtains so that the heart of the "lord of his house" shall bound to em brace his dear, thoughtful comforter? Can he make the warm blood to riot in the cheeks by whispers of love, sweet words nnd the uttcr- nnco of tale-telling sighs? Can he smooth down the sick pillow so that sickness will, after all, be easv to bear? As well the buzzard stoop to the ollices of the linnet as well the mud turtle essay to shine as the night bur; as well the bison assume the gentleness of the gazelle; man never was created by God for other than a master of the sterner virtues and woman is as necessary to the joy, and comfort, and holiness of each homo as the bos om of the Lake is necessary to reflect the stars of the blessed sky. Tin Rocks or Calvary. In Fleming's Ubristology, it is stated that an unbeliever visiting the sncred places of Palestine, was shown the clefts of Mount Calvery. Exami ning theru narrowly, aud critically he turned in amazement to bis fellow-travelers and said, "I have long been a student of nature, nnd I am sure that the clefts and rents in this rock have never been done by nature, or any ordinary earthquake; lor, by such a concussion, the rock must have split accor ding to the veins, and where it was weakest in the adhesion of parts; for this," he said "I have observed to have been done in other rocks when separated or broken after an earth quake; and reason tells me it must always be so. But it is quite otherwise here; for the rocks are split athwart and across the veins in a most s' range and preternatural manner; and therefore." said he, "I thank God that I came hither to see the standing monument of a miraculous power by which God gives evidence to this day of the divinity of Const" The peach originally was a poisonous al mond. Its fleshy parts were then used to poison arrows, nnd was for this purpose in troduced into Persia; the transplanting and cultivation, however, not only removed its poisonous qualities, but produced the deli cious fruit wa now enjoy. The Pestilence at Mobile. Extracts from a private latter dated Mo bile, Monday, Sept. 12, 18S3: The scourge that lias so long and so fear fully desolated New Orleans this summer, has long since established itself here. Mul titudes have been already swept to the grave, nnd a great deal of suffering ha been felt, especially among the poor, Tlio disease is everywhere; sparing neither age, nor condi tion. Again and again have 1 found houses in which every single inhabitant was sick, and helpless. In one house I found aeven sick, in another five, in another six, and in another eight Our citizens have orgonixed themselv es into societies and clubs to visit in the sev eral districts, ascertain where sickness nnd suffering exist, and ensure timely relief. They nave established three inlirmanes which are full for the reception, care nnd cure of the sick. The city hospital is also full, nnd the marine hospital nearly so. oept. lo Several of the physicians have private hospitals, which are mostly quite full. auu sickness is in every part oi tue city, and everywhere in the environs. spring Hill, distant about seven miles, a high sandy ridge, to which multitudes of our citizens retreat for safaty in summer, is also infected. On Saturday last 1 buried a child. the daughter of one of my flock. It died on the Hill, of black vomet. I was on the Hill last evening; to visit some of the sick. One gentleman told mo that his family, blacks und white, nil included amount to more thun sixty ; of these, twenty-three are sick, among them his duugbter-in-law and two children of one of his daughters, nnd a daughter residing but a short distance from him was taken sick yesterday. To day one of our chief physicians told me that there are above 30 cases nt Spring Hill. In the city you iind sickness and suffering, everywhere; out of a family of eight persons a little below me on the same street six are dead viz: both the parents, two crown up daughters, and two boys two lads only are left! The youngest, about eight years of age, is out ot aanger; tne other, about eleven is very low still; he has had the black vomit, and has bled a good deal at the mouth, but I begin to hope he may recover. Of another family of eight, one only is left a young child ; a family of nine are all gone. Last Friday I buried from the house of his father-in-law, a young man married three months since; on Sunday I buried his wife's youngest brother, The disease this year is verv treacherous; a change takes place suddenly nnd the patient sinks rapidly. Last Sundny", Sept. 1 1; I had to attend four funerals, beside preaching in :own that mm ning and at Spring Hill that evening; of the four so buried, three appear ed only two days befoie, likely to recover. There are usunlly stationed at Mobile three or four Methodist ministers, of these one Mr. I'owel, died of the epidemic, and was buried two weeks iiiro last Sunday; another. Mr. Loveland, ns f see stated in the paper, has lost his wife and child, and yesterday I stood by the dying bed of Rev. Mr. Hughes, of the same persuasion. He was buried Ibis mom- '"J- u A Man with Twentt Wives. A man calling himself Dr. William Hunter, but whos real name is said to be Nathaniel J. Bird, is in jail at Camden, N. J., on a charge of biga my and other charges. On Sunday, Eliza beth Harrington, a lady of Philadelphia, visi ted him in prison, and ascertained that he was the man to whom she was married on the 9th of July lust. On the same day he was visited by another lady from Kensington, named Mary Thompson, to whom he was married in May last. It is also slated that he has a wife in Reading, another in Wilming ton, Del, another yet in Philadelphia. The prisoner is only about 23 years of age, aud it is stated, declares that he has twenty wives, a statement which may be true, as more than one-fourth of that number have been found within a few days. It is alleged, that he abandoned each wife soon after mairinge, and that they never heard of him until his recent arrest. The affair creates the greatest ex citement in Camden, and has induced nn im mense number of persons to seek admission for the purpose of seeing him. Water Spouts om tub Lake. Several these remarkable phenomena have recently been seen upon Lake Ontario, two of which were visible at Sod us Point They are dense conicat-stiaped columns, and formed a contm uous lino from the Lake to the clouds. One them the largest, which was nearly thirty feet in diameter, was precipitated against the bluffs und broke with a deafening noise upon, the rocks below, causing so great commotion of the waters that a large quanti ty of logs and lumber were torn from their moorings and washed far out into the Lake. The smaller of the two pursued its terrific and onward course as far as the eye could reach, filling the beholders with wonder and astonishment, and awaking such a feeling ol grandeur and sublimity they stood almost mute nnd statute-like, until the sound of this giganaic column of water died far away in the distance. A portion of the pier of the light house was swept away by the elements, and considerable damage was done to tbo light house. Waynt Democrat, Ctiinder Telegraph. A company is now being formed with a capital of (500,000, for the purpose of constructing a line of tele graph from Boston to New Yoik, having cylinder two feet in diameter, by means which it is believed that packages may be transmitted from one city to the other in fif teen minutes. It has been objected by some that tho powor required to exhaust the tube for so great a distace, would be so great no reasonable number of pumps would be able to accomplish it. But this objection is answered by the fact, that it is not proposed by the plan of Mr. R. to exhaust the air through the whole length of the tube at once; but as a portion of the air is exhausted and the plunger rushes through the tube, the air is cut off behind it, and a new column of air commences to act upon it The scheme is attracting fsror. Botton 7Va 'r. a A Stkikino Illustration. A company of) individuals unite themselves top-ether in mutual benefit society. The Blacksmith comes and says: "Gentlemen, I wish to become a member of this association." "Well, what can you do?" "Oh, I can shoe your horses, iron your car riages, and make all kinds of implements," "Very well, come in, Mr. Blacksmith." The Masou applies for admission into the society. "And whnt can you do, sir?" 'Oh, I can build your barns and bouses, stables and bridgvs." "Very well, come in we can't do without you." Along comes the Shoemaker, and says: "1 wish to become a member of your soci ety." "Well, what can you do'" "I can make boots and shoes for you." "Come in, Mr. Shoemaker, we must hare you." So, in turn, apply all the different trades and professions, till lastly an individual comes, and wants to become a member. "And what are you?" "1 am a Ruroseller." "A Kumsetlerl and what can you do?" - "I can build jails and prisons and poor houses." "And is that all?" "No, I can fill them; I can Gil your jails with criminals, your prisons with convicts, and your poor houses with paupers." "1 can bring the gray hairs of the aged to the grave with sorrow ; I can break the heart ol the wife, and blast the prospects of the friends of talent, and till your land with more than the plagues of Egypt."

At one of our hotels, a young and fully moustached dandy, from Philadelphia, was seated at the tea table at rather a late hour, when the bar-keeper came in and took a seat opposite.

"What, are you not bar keeper ?" "Yes. sir." "Well, a bar keeper is help as much, as a scrub gitl." "True," replied him of the toddy-stick, 'but I did not enter the hall until I looked in nnd saw that there was not a gentleman at the tnble." Here the conversation ended. Moustache was "fixed." 3TA gentleman espying a number of lit tle rogues in the act of carrying off a quan tity of fruit from his orchard without "leave or license," bawled out very lustily: "What are you about there, you rascals?"

Once upon a time, a maiden Sat beneath a hawthorn tree, And her lover close betide her, Murmersd vows of constanov. Fairer, sweeter than the blossom Hanging over her was she, And her heart within her bosom Throbbed and glowed tumultously. Both were young and fond and foolish, Neither rich, tha story goes. Ma as proud, and Pa waa mulish, Great their loves and great their woes; So they kissed, and wept and parted. Swearing to be aver troe Died the maiden broken hearltdf Was the lover faithful loo? Pshaw! she wed a wealthy banker. (Slander whispered, she was sold,) And no city dames out-rank her, With her pockeis full of gold; Qnern at every ball aud parly, Decked with lace and jewels rsra, Looking vary fresh and hearty, Reigns tha victim of despair He confounded lucky fellow Tuok a widow twice hia years, Fat and fortv, ripe and mellow, With a brace of "little dears; ' Big plantation, servants plenty, Splendid niiusion, pom,) and ease, Cured the boyish love of twenty, That incurable disease. Lei.rn from this, you doting lover, Inyour anguish', nottobreak Anything of greater value Than the promises yon make; Hearts were made to put in motion Blood that otherwise would cool; Plessure, profit and promotion, Graduate at Cupid's school. 3T"ltj son, rake that iutr and fetch me some beer." "Give me some money, then, father." "My son, to pet beer with moner. anrbodv can do that; but to get beer without money So the boy took the iu? and out La coes. shortly h) returns snd pUccs the jug before ma miner. "Drink," said the son. "How can I drink," said the father, "when there is oo beer in the jug ?" "To drink beer out of tbejug," said the son "when there is beer anybody can do that out to arinK beer out or a jug when there is no beer that's a trick." t3T An Irishman went fishine. and amonc other things he hauled in a large sited turtle. To enjoy the surprise of the servant girl, he placed it in her bed-room. Next morning the first that bounced into the breakfast room was Biddy, with the exclamation of, "Be Jabers, I've yot the divil!" "What devil ?" inquired the master. "Why the bull bedbug, that has been eat ing the children for the past two months." o jt3T"Did you attend church to-day?" said a planter to his slave. "Saitain, raassa," was the reply, "and what two awful big stores dat preacher did tell' "What stories were they ?" "Why, he tell the people no man can serve two masters; now dis is do fuss story, kase you see I serve you, my ole massa, and also young mnssa John. Den de preacher says ho will love the one and hate de odder, while de Lord knows how I hate ye bos'." A modern justice of tbe Irish king's bench in giving his dictum on a certain will case, obsolutely said, "he thought it very clear that the testator intended to keep a life interest in the estate himself."

The Pacific Rail road may bo extended by an air linvfrtfta Sacramento to San Diego, on this route, with, as little difficulty as on aa open plain. Thin singular feature in the surface of the conti nent seems to bare been intended by nature for a great national thoroughfare. The great backbone of the North American Continent seems to hive been broken down on this line, to let the Pacific Railroad pass gently over it The great chains of ths Alleghanies on tha east, and those of Sierra Madro ant) Sierra Nevada, on the west, sink down on this line to mere insulated hills, and the country slope so grudually from the summit lands, east and west of the Mississippi, that the rivers along this line run in nearly easterly or westerly di rection. On the western side of the conti nent the Gilarivir runs almost due west a distance of five hundred miles, and table lands sou Ih of its slope with a gradual eleva tion of ten or twenty feet to Ilia mile, to I he highlands, as its fources west of the Rio Grande. From this point the country slopes by a gradual desceul almost imperceptible through tbe Mesilla valley to the plains around El Paso, and west of the river these plaina gradually slope upwards to the table lands between the Pecos nnd this river, and those lands slope with an equally gradual descent to the valley of the Pecos. This valley is so elevated that it is but one or two hundred feet below the general love! of the tablelands extending from it to the sources of tbe Colo rado, and from the sources of that river to the Mississippi, there is not a single bill or mountain range to prevent the construction of a railroad to the Mississippi, opposite Vicks burg; from this point to Savannah railroads have already been surveyed and completed on nearly half the route, and, what is worthy of remark, these roads extend in a line al most due east from the Mississippi to tbe At lantic Ocean, without penetrating an eleva ted range of hills or mountains.
