She sits like some enchanting maid, Amid the thoughtless, joyous throng; For Heaven a hallowing touch has laid, To charm her life from care and wrong. She needs no speech a power is hers, More pure, more worthy of the name ; A passionate eloquence, to which Our uttered words are weak and tamo. The very soul of language fills ' Those dark, wild, earnest, pleading eyes, Each movement talks, each gesture thrills The gazer's heart like plaintive sighs. 'Oh could she speak, the soul that pours Its music now through every glance That kindles every wistful smile .Would waste in words its wealth perchance. Wc would not mark that pale pure face Lit up with every waking thought ; Nor watch the eager, eloquent grace, Hei heart, denied a tongue, has taught. And could she hear the discord round, Tho worldly jest, tho idle vow, Would drown the low sweet hymn of love, Tho pitying angels sing her now. THE BEAUTIFUL MANIAC. " The fire that in my bosom burns, Is lone as some volcanic isle." In the morning train from Petersburg, Virgin ia, there was a lady closely veiled, in the same car with ourselves. Sho was dressed in purest white, wore golden bracelets, and evidently be longed lo tho higher circles of society. Iler fig ure was delicate, though well developed, and ex quisitely symmetrical ; and when she occasion ally drew aside her richly embroidered veil, tho glimpse of her features, which the beholder ob tained, satisfied him of her extreme loveliness. Beside her sat a gentleman in deep mourning, who watched over her with unusual solicitude, and several times, when she uttcmrtcd to raise, he excited the curiosity of the passengers by de taining her in her seat. Outside the car, all was confusion; passen gers looked to their baggage, porters running, cabmen cursing, and all the usual hurry and bus tle attending the departure of a railroad train. One shrill warning whistle from the engine and wo moved slowly away. At the first motion of the car, the lady in white started to her feet with one heart-piercing scream, and her bonnet falling off, disclosed the most lovely, and yet the most unhappy feature we ever contemplated. Her raven tresses fell over her shoulders in graceful disorder, and clasping her hands in prayer sho turned her d;irk eyes to heaven ! What agony was in that look! what beauty too, what heavenly beauty, had not so much misery been btamped upon it. Alas! that one glance told a melancholy tale. -she was changed As by the sickness of the soul ; her mind Had wandered from its dwelling, and her eyes They had not their own lustre, but the look Which is not of the earth ; she has become The queen of a fantastic realm." Her brother, the gentleman in black, was nn- remitting in his efforts to 6oothe her spirit. lie led her back to her seat; but her hair was still unbound, and her beauty unveiled. The cars rattled on, and tho passengers in groups resum- d their conversation, suddenly a wild melody arose; it was the beautiful maniac's voice, rich, full, and inimitable. Her hands were crossed on her bosom, and she waved her body as she sung with touching pathos: 44 She is far from the land where her young 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 ! i4 She sings tho wild songs of her dear native plains, Every note which he loved awakening Ah ! little they think who delight in her strains, How the heart of the minstrel is breaking 1" Her brother wm unmanned, and he wept as onlv man can weep. The air changed and she continued: ' Has sorrow thy young days shaded, As clouds o'er the morning fleet 1 Too fast has those young days faded, That ever in sorrow were sweet? If thus the unkind world wither, Each feeling that once was dear; Come, child of misfortune come hither, I'll weep with thee, tear for tear." She then sunr a fragment of a beautiful hymn: " Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to thy bosom fly." Another attempt to riso was prevented, and she threw herselt on her knees beside her broth er,and gave him such a mournful entreating look, with n plaintive, "Save me, my brother! save your sister, that scarcely a passenger could re frain from weeping. Again the poor benighted beauty raised her bewitching voice to one of the most solemn sa crcd airs : " (), where shall rest be found, Rest for tho weary soul J" and continued her melancholy chaunt until we reached the steamer Mount Vernon, on board of which we descended the James river ; the unhap py brother and sister occupying the " ladies cab in. His was a sorrow too profound for ordm ary consolation ; and none dared intrude so far upon his grief as to satisfy his curiosity. We were standing on the promenade deck, admiring the beautiful scenery of the river,when, at one of tho landings, the small boat pulled away for the shore with the unhappy pair, en routo for the Asylum at . She was stand- ing erect in the 6tern of the boat, her head still uncovered, and her white dress and raven tress es fluttering in the breeze. Tho boat returned, and the steamer moved on for Norfolk. They were gone!' that brother with hi broken heart, that sister with her melancholy union of beauty and sadness. " Temperance Adv. The man who didn't want nn office has re turned from a visit to Washington, where he went merely to look round a little. He saw what he was looking .for, buUconeludedvnot to bring it on villi him. v . THE LADY'S MAN. . Of all the animal nuisances which afflict so ciety, we think the genuine lady's man takes the ead. His face is eternally wreathed with un meaning smiles and when he addresses a lady, it is always in such a strain of absurd nonsense, that we have often been surprised that any lady armed with a fan, and so addressed, did not brain the animal on the spot. If the lady's man does, bv any possibility, possess the least degree of common sense, he takes especial pains to con ceal it, for some how or other he has taken it into his wise head that empty sentimentality and absurd nothings are the offerings fit for the female mind. In order to be true to what he conceives to bo the entertainment and amuse ment of the ladies, ho turns traitor to manhood, and so becomes epicene himself without pre. renting a just claim to bo classed with tho male or female sex. His best qualities are those which he possesses in common with certain kind of dogs to fetch and carry. Ladies, who laugh in their sleeves at the fool, may not object to the attentions of the servant, and so out of sheer commiseration allow him to carry a fan, or es cort them to the opera, when the men of their acquaintance are not accessible. The lady's man is suuiciently rewarded for attending them through a whole evening's entertainment, if they will only drop a smile into tho poor fellow s hat at parting. With this substantial blessing he is encouraged toiuture exertions in this wide field of masculine ambition. If a man's duty to a ladv consisted in picking up dropped pocket-handkerchiefs and fans, or twirling her round to the point of giddiness and exhaustion, in the waltz, we should, perhaps en vy tho accomplishments of a mere lady s man; but believing, as wo do, that the delightful and lovable dependence of woman upon tho sterner sex demands the exercise of more manly quali ties for her protection and guide, we have little else than contempt for tho effeminate accom plishments of tho other. To treat woman like a doll only present to her mind tho gaseous eructations of false senti ment, or the frothy nonsense of fashionable frivolity, is surely no way to win the esteem and respect of any woman not the victim of conge nial worthlessness. Women are excellent judges of character; and, although wo have fre quently seen them entertained with the follies of tho lady's man we have seldom seen a sen siblo woman apply them to any better use than their mirth and laughter, lew would be will- ing to trust the guidance of their lives to such shallow and unreliable pilots. . N. O. Delta. The Madonna. Mrs. Jameson, in her Le gends of tho 44 Madonna as represented in the Fine Arts," give3 a description of the person of the Virgin, extracted from the history of Nice- phorus Calistus, on the authority of Lpiphanius, who himself had derived it from more ancient authority: "She was of middle stature; her face oval ; her eyes brilliant, and of an olive tint ; her eye-brows arched and black ; her hair of a palo brown ; her complexion fair as wheat. She spoke little, but sho spoke freely and affa bly; she was not troubled in her speech, but grave, courteous, tranquil. Iler dress was with out ornament, and in her deportment was noth ing lax or feeble." Sirs. Jameson mentions the general belief, in which sho apparently concurs, that the Savior resembled his mother in person ; for, she observes, 44 it i3 argued, Christ had no earthly father ; therefore, he could only have de rived his earthly lineaments from his mother. All the legends assume that the resemblance be tween the son and mother must have been per fect. Kuglar, in his 44 Hand book of Italian Painting," gives two descriptions of the person of the Savior the first is from the letter of Lentnlus to tho Roman Senate, originally writ ten about tho end of tho third century, but not found until tho eleventh; the second, By John of Damascus, dates from the eight century. In the former, Christ is described as a 44 man of stately form, dignified in appearance, with a countenance that inspired veneration and which, those who look upon it may love as well as fear. His hair, curling, rather dark and glossy, flows down upon his shoulders, and is parted in the middle after tho manner of tho Nazarene3. The forehead is smooth and very serene; the countenance without line or spot, of a pleasant complexion and moderately ruddy. The nose and mouth faultless, tho beard thick and red dish like tho hair, not long but divided. The eyes bright and of a varying color." John of Damascus describes Jesus as of a stately growth, eyebrows joined together ; beautiful eyes, largo nose, curling hair ; somewhat stooped ; in the bloom of lite; his beard black; his complexion olive, like that of his mother; with long fingers, &c. Tho description given by Lentulus agrees with tho account by Lpiphanius of tho person of the Virgin. It is tho European, and one might almost say, the Greek type. Mrs. Jame son favors tlx fair type, and in this she has tho sanction of the great masters of art. N. Y. Eve. Post. Tyrants of the Household the Sad Law of Domestic Slavery. And so it is and for his rule over his family and for his conduct to wife and children subjects over whom his pow er is monarchical any one who watches the world must think with trembling, sometimes, of the account which many a man will have to render. For in our society, there's no law to control the King of the Fireside. lie may kill a wifo gradually, and be no moro questioned than the grand seignor who drowns a slave at midnight. Ho may mako slaves and hypocrites of his children, or friends and freemen, or drive them into revolt and enmity against tho natural law of love. I have heard politicians and coffee-house wise-acres talking over tho newspaper, and railing at the tyranny of the French King, and the Emperor, and wondered how these (who ore raonarchs too, in their way) govern their own dominions at home, whero ench man rules absolute ! When the annals of each lit tle region are shown to tho Supreme Master, under whom we hold sovreignty, histories will be laid bare of household tyrants as .cruel as Amurath and as savage as Nero, and as reckless , and dissolute as Charles. - ; ' .- ..' Thackeray's Esmond. Practical Amalgamation in Brooklyn. A rich scene.- The New York Day Book of the 27th ult., contains an article descriptive of an ex citing scene which occurred in the Abolition city of Brooklyn, on the previous day.' A re port got out that two mulatto' boys, fugitives from bondage, had made their escape, and were at the house of a highly respectable citizen, and son of a popular and esteemed Clergyman. All the negroes, abolitionists and anti-fugitive slave lawites were around at once, and the-41 poor boys' engrossed the attention of all Brooklyn for at least twenty-four hours.' Tho under ground Railroad was put in order at once and an attempt made to run tho fugitives off not to Canada but to the Alms House. . Why to the Alms House? Don't be in a horry.reader; you have not heard all yet. The two yellow boys were not from down South, nor were they born slaves. No, thoy were born as free as any child in Brooklyn. They were going to the Alms House to bo taken care of, that s all. 44 To make a loner storv short, the Dreaching of Henry Ward Beecher had its effect. A daugh ter of one of the first and wealthiest families of Brooklyn, and wifo of a son of a Reverend Cler gyman, acting upon the principle that a negro is as good as a white man, and believing that Dan, the coachman, was a better man than her hus band, carried out the idea of Mrs. Oakes Smith, and followed the example of Potiphar's wife. Unfortunately, Dan did not, like Joseph, shy her presence. 1 lie consequence was, a presentation to her husband or Dan, (we do not know which) of a pair of as fine fat woolly-heads as ever de lighted the eye of a free soiler. The long and the short of it is, reader, Mrs. , daughter of Lord , and wife of , had become the mother of a pair of twin negro babies, and about this little oddity, was all the excitement in Brooklyn. Everybody, we believe, was as tonished, but Dan and Henry Ward Beecher." Free Press. The Old Man and the Youth. Geron, an old man of eighty years, was one day sitting before the door of his rustic dwelling, enjoying tho bright and cheerful autumn morning. His eye now rested upon the blue hills in the dis tance, from whoso tops the mist was stealing upward, like the smoke of burnt offerings; and now upon his mirthful grandchildren, who were sporting around him. A youth from tho city approached tho old man, and entered into discourso with him. When the youth heard the number of his years from his own lips, he wondered at his vigorous age and his ruddy countenance. Whereupon he asked tho old man whence it came that ho enjoyed such strength and cheerfulness in tho late autumn of life. . Geron answered : " My son, these, like every other good thing, are gifts which cotne to us from above, tho merit of which we cannot claim to ourselves, and still we can do something here below to enable us to obtain them." Having uttered these words the old man arose, and led the stranger into his orchard, and show ed him the tall and noble trees covered with de licious fruit, the sight of which gladdened the heart. Then the old man spoko : " Canst thou won der that I now enjoy the fruit of theso trees ? See, my son, I planted them in my youth ; thou hast tho secret of my happy and fruitful old age." Tho youth cast a look full of meaning upon the old man, for he understood his words, and treasured them up in his heart. j Krummacher. I Hydrophobia Its Cure. Dr. Corry, of Waukegan, Illinois, snys : J 44 Wash the wound thoroughly with water (warm if convenient, as it promotes the flow of blood,) and then applying the mouth and suck ing the wound for fifteen or twenty minutes, or as long as there remains any smarting or sting ing. No fear need bo entertained in doing this, if care bo taken not swallow any of the saliva. As a matter of precaution, however, it would bo well to wash the mouth frequently during the operation with spirits or saleratus water. Having sucked the wound thoroughly, apply without loss of time s'rong spirits of hartshorn to every part of tho wound, and keep it dress ed with a lint saturated with the same for sev eral hours. ' Every family should be provided with a vial of hartshorn, for an emergency. If none of this is within reach, use a strong solution of salera tus. If the wound is so situated that the pa tient cannot suck it, get another to do it. This remedy is equally applicable and certain in the case of snake bites, the sting of bees, or any other animal poison. Common lunar caustic will do instead of hartshorn, and can bo kept for years in a vial, if excluded from light and moisture ; or in timo of danger, any person can keep a stick of it in the vest pocket." Let it bo tried on the first animal bitten. Ex periment is the only way to find out a remedy for this most horrible of all earthly diseases. A Wife in Trouble 44 Pray tell me, my dear what is the cause of those tears?" 44 Oh, what a disgrace?"

The present wri ters for the Times, says Eliza Cook's Journal, are only known by rumor. The mystery of newspaper editing in England Is still guarded as strictly as possible.' The editor is not a man of mark amongst us, as in France. His nanie is even studiously concealed ; and though wield ing a great power daily before the eyes of tho people, his name never appears. In fact, the so cial position of the English editor is not yet re cognized; and hence he remains behind a mask, hidden and irresponsible. Rumor avers that Mr. Delaine the younger is the, chief editor of tho Times, although Mr. Mowbray Morris (who was examined before the newspaper -committee the other day) appears before the public as the responsible manager and editor. The Rev. Thomas Mozely is howeveri the most brilliant of the Time's writers; he is the man whoso ar ticles appearing for' the first time a few years agi gave 7 evidence to. the world, that a new hand had come upon the Times'. His thunder is mixed with laughter, and his bolts are tint with wreathed smiles. He is a writer of great pith and emphasis; and vou cannot mistake the articles from his pen. But there are others as good as he Sam Phillips' reviews of new books have recently attracted great notice and admira tion. The slashing article oh " Carlyle's Life of Sterling" was written by him. Ward wrjtes the excellent articles on sanitary reform, recent ly a prominent feature of the journal.' Lovo discourses on colonial subjects, and Henry Reeves tho translator of 44 De Tocqueville's De mocracy," writes the principal articles on foreign affairs and policy. . Oxenford is the theatrical crit ic, sometimes cleverly reviewing his own plays; but he writes well, and is op to his work. ' Mr. Thornton furnishes the parliamentary summary, and Dr. Richardson is a ready man of all work, turning his hand to anything. Some of th'e Times' reporters are very able men for in stance how much was Macdonald's articles on the Great Exhibition admired; they were con ddered by Prince Albert as not unworthy of his precious autograph of thanks. Tho Times' stafT of foreign correspondents is also complete. Meagher, once the paymaster of the Spanish Le gion is 41 our correspondent" at Paris ; and Fill more, a translator of "Faust," tills tho same of fice at Berlin. But special reporters are sent over to the scene"of action when anything of ex traordinary interest occurs; as, for instance, the late war in Schleswig Holstein, which' was splen didly reported in the Times. 1 1 ii ... i The Minor Planets.- We find in the Na tional Intelligencer the following catalogue of the Minor Planets, at present known, arranged in tho order of their discovery, together with the other known Planets of our solar system.
