An open ing, however, was effected, when one of thc workmen instantly exclaimed that there was a light at tho bottom of the cavern. The parties present entered, when they found a bronzed sepulehural lamp of remarkable workmanship, suspended from the roof ly chaurs of the same metal. It was entirely JilVd with a combu'live substance, which did not appear to have dimin ished, although the probability is the combus tion has been going for ages. This discovery will throw some light on a question which has uused so many disputes among learuod antiqua ries, although it wus stated that one wus discov ered at Vileibo, in 1850, from which, however, no fresh information was afforded on the subject.

He crew tin, paid bis addresses to a beautiful ond excellent young lady, a member of the church. At length he was married to his Mary, and they prepared immediately after that event, in pursuance of a previous plan, to emigrate to a Western State. The evening before the day we wero to sepa rate, perhaps forever, I hud a tender interview with my bosom friend ond his lovely wile ; it was deeply affecting to all of us. The next morning tiny departed, with the affectionate farewells of many old friends and neighbors in the town, where they were born and reared, and Willi a handsome provision made by the parents of both who were in competent circumstances. Ten vcars elapsed, during which I was called to the Methodist ministry, in distant places, as my lot happened to be cast. Not a word concerning them reached my cars in all that time. The course of duty called me then to the vicinity of the place where my friend uau settled, nnd 1 resolved to go out or my way considerably, to give John and Mary a call. Arriving nt the town nnd inquiring for their residence, I was told they lived at some distance from the centre of the village. At length I found the place. At the first glance my mind misgave. The sight of thc miserable cabin made me sick, and after bitching my horse, I scarcely dared to enter.- Knock, I could not; there was no door nothing but a blanket stretched across the passage. Removing this, alas! what did I behold! There was Mary sit ting on n stool, with on infant -on her lap, and another child in a corner, on the ground, for the cabin had no floor. Oh sight of woe! How altered was the love ly Mary T n! 'Do you remember me, devr Mary!' 'Oh! Mr. Manson, is it indeed j on?

What in mercy was I next to sec? A scene like that, or worse, which ten years before left such awiui traces on the memory, never to be obli terated 1 1 could not tell. At a sudden turn in the road I thought I discerned another white house in the distance among the Irecs. Yes, it is so, with green blinds ; and os I went nearer, graveled walks were seen ; a handsome paling; und ornamental trees and shrubbery. Surely there is some mistake in the direction tins cannot be John's home ; yet it is the second on the left. Fastening my beast to a hook. I went ti lhe door and knocked. A girl iust on the verge of womanhood opened it. Does Mr.' McL d live here,' I asked with trembling. 'He does sir.' ' is he or Ins wile at home r ' Mother is within sir, but futher is in lhe field. Please lo walk in, sir.' My eye glanced through the open parlor door. A fine carpet covered the floor. There were handsome chairs and other furniture; but I saw no more, for Mrs. Mc L d by this time was informed of a gentle man's arrival, and lost no time in making her appearance. 'Good God,' was all I cmember to have heard from her, ns she rushed forward on seeing me, and clasped me by the neck. She almost fainted, and shed a flood of tears, and my own condition was not much more composed. Kccovering a little, she informed me that her husband was at home, but out upon the farm. Too impatient to wait, I hurried awav to see him. He met me as he was coming home. As soon as he knew who it was, he ran forward and grasped me in his arms, savins-,. as he strained me to his bosom, 'Thank God I thank God! you arc my savior under Heaven. ' This is an your worn., looKing ufouuu. . - jit, I aiu rejoiced that you are here lo see it. When wo had returned lo the house, the ten years' history of struggle, repentance, and re iwniiwimj recounted. Proserity was the consequence. Thc dwelling was his. lUvfm and all. His wife was happy.
