If I had known in the morning How wearily all the day The words unkind would trouble my mind That I said when you went away, I had been more careful, darling, Nor given you needless pain; But we vex our own with look and tone We might never take back again. For though in the quiet evening You may give me the kiss of peace Yet it well might be that never for me The pain of the heart should cease! How many go forth at morning Who never come home at night! And hearts have broken for harsh words spoken That sorrow that can ne'er set right. We have careful thought for the stranger. And smiles for the sometime guest; And oft for our own bitter tone, Though we love own the best.

[From the Spartanburg Herald.] G"KNN *PRING8 D 60VERED; OR, THE LOST AMULET. PART 11. (CONTINUEr.) From the Congaree, our route lay jirough the most beautiful country I had ever seen-a coun try whose landscape was neither rugged with mountains, nor mon otonously tame with unbroken plains, but a succession of elevated anges, undulating hills and flow ary vales. From the Congaree, it was a succession of wavelike hills, and beautiful valleys, and as we approached Fort PrinceGeorge, the hills rose up to towering mountains, whose blue tops like giant embattlements against the northern sky, imparting at a lance t'he lessons of the geolo ists, that mighty eruption of nature had elevated this romantic region, and had driven the in um bent waters far to th e South to ccupy their present7bed. With out further incident, in a few days march through tbis wonder f the Isagunda, or Sc.annah River. When we arrived at the fort, the Indians were shut up in a hut, scarel y sufficient for the- ac cmmodation of six soldiers and securely guarded. Upon his arri val, the Governor at once found that he had not only been impolite in his conduct towards the in dians, but too hurried in his pre parations for the campaign. The army was not only-poorly armed and disciplined, but was discon tented and mutinous, and he saw that the only course left him was to make the terms, which, at Charles town, he had refused. He there fore sent for Attakullakulla, and proposed terms whichi he accepted, and who was released with several of his chiefs and wise men to assigt in carrying or.t the terms which they had made. Among them was Occonostota, the powerful and influential chief which the Gov cvrnor had so rudely treated at the conference in Obarlestown, and at my solicitation Canaebugh, the medicine man. When they were leaving I approached Can achgh who with the intuition of the In dian recognized the agency which I had inp procuring h1is fr~eedgm. Upon his depa.rture be took~my profered hand and said; "While fire burns or water runs, Canachugh will be the frien d of his pale face son, he has no one to love now but him." At the time, I did not realize the strength of his attachmtent, nor did I suppose that I1 would ever need his friendship. After this hastily patched up trety of peace, (goy. Lyttlptop mfarche4 ls gmry back to their homes. DPesiring to see more of frontier life, .1. remained in the fort, -little dreaming of any ad venture of more importance than ordinry fort life. No sooner, however, was the army well out of hearing, than the indications were,. that the Indians were far from being satisfied with the , crn of the peace, which Atta kullakulla had made. Which was that, twenty-six of 'hef'r warriors should be delivered up for punish ment, instead of the imprisoned chiefs. The Indians soon saw that th'ey could make no impression upon the fort by direct assault, and, therefore, i-esorted to-strat egem. Occonostota, one of the li.berated chiefs, placed in a se cluded thicket on the banks of the Keowee, an ambuscade, and sent a well known Indian to the fort to request the commandant to meet him, as ie bad important intelli gence to communicate. When the messenger reached the fort, I was pr esent in the quarters of the captain, when he sent back his reply that he would meet him. Summoning those around him; con sisting of myself and two or three of his officers, we went at onee to the point designated. As . we neared the spot, we' saw Occon ostota standing with,a bridle in his hand, apparently composed, and unconcerned. Some colloquy took place between the Indian and the commandant, about the former going to Charlestown to interpedo for the liberation of the imprisoned chiefs, Oceonostota asking for this purpose a horse and a guide. As the commandant was replying to him, Occonostota rapidly whirled the bridle around bis head, and at that signal the Jndians delivered a murderous fire from the ambuscade. All the party fell to the ground. I was wounded, but at once regain ed an erect position, and stood paralyzed more from than astonish. ment than fear. While thus stand ing two Indians from the ambus cade advanced rapidly upon me, seized me aid hurried me off while others were scalping my prostrate companions. My captors proceeded with me with a rapidity which defied pur suit. As we went along I heard the drums of the fort, and an oc asional volley of fire arms, but knew nothing of the result. It was in the afternoon wben we were attacked, but a little while before the setting of the sun. I was carried in a north-easterly direction, and as night fell upon us, I saw by the moon and the stars that we were still going in the same direction, and we con inued in the. sanme course until the night was far advanced. Not a word was spoken by my captors or myself. Late in the night, I saw before us the glimmering of lights, and heard the barking of dogs, and I knew that we were approaching some human habi tation. To are it was an inex pressible relief, as I was sick arid sore. As I expected, we directly came to an Indian village. I was hurried into a wigwam, securely bound, and as improbable .as it may seem, we,soon -were in a pro found slumber. - - in tbe morning I was awoke by the young Indians around the wigwam. I. saw from the prepa rations they were making that I~ was to be subjected to the tor ture. Tbe young Indians all had their bows, add the squaws liga ments for binding me. I w as taken out of the lodge and se crely bound to a tree. The In dians then repaired to a point, some twenty or thirty yards dis tant and were preparing their bows and arrows for the sport. I felt that I was at death's door and the incidents of m~y life were passing in review before me, .1, however, .ba.d but little time to think before an arrow came whist ling( towards me, and was buried in the tree a little above my head. Then another, and 'another, and another, all mis.sing me but by a hair's breadth, and exciting among the young marksmne' the greatest hilarity and sport. At this mo met, I saw approaching us a tall and commranding looking Indian, and heard him give some author ritative command to the party engaged in my torture. They at once desisted and as he came nearer I recognized Canach ugh, the med icine man. He came to the tree where I was bound, cut the thongs, and I felt that I was safe. He immediately led me to his wig wam, bound up my wound, placed me upon'a pallet of buffalo robes. I13 spoke and understood the English language, with tolerabie facility, and I soon made him ac quainted with the circumstances of' my capt'Ure.. He deprecated them, ad!R predicted a terrible war. During the day the Indians returned from the fort with the scalps of my slain companions, and were received with the greatest exultation. A council of war was held around the fire in the centre of the village, which seem ed to be, as well as I could gather from the lodge in which I was placed, all fbi war. The scalps were elevated in their midst and the warriors and squaws were dancing around them with the greatest exultation, I again treni bled for my ' safety, but I was assured again by CI6 medicine miii that be- would be my friend as "long as water runs or fire burns." lie dofired me that his lodge was a sacred place, and could not be invaded even by the chief' of all the nation. From the wound which I had re ceived,and the excitement thro'ugh which I had passed, a fever ensued and for days and days I knew nothing more. When I awoke to consciousness, Canachugh was sitting by my bed side gazing upon me with a look of the most intense interest and affectiori. He saw at once that consciousness had returned and he remarked "My son, the pale face, has been near the land of spirits." I was too weak to reply, but to show him my gratitude, reached out my hand which be gently pressed, and said: "Canachugh wants his son to sleep." And I closed my eyes as if in gentle sliimber. Canachugh sup. posing '.me sieping, quietly stole away frqm the lodge and in a short time returned with a towl of the most delicious and nourish ing liquid that I ever had tasted. Hie then gave -me a running Ac count of the occurrences which had taken place since my capture. He told me, to my inexpressible horror, and detestation, that all the chiefs confined in the fort had been uinhumanly butchered, and *their bodies cast out to be sur feited upon by the birds and beasts of prey, and drawing him selt up to h.is full height remarked : "The anger of the Great Spirit will fall heavily upon the mur derers of my people." I could make no reply as my thoughts were in unison with his own. "I have tried," said he, "to be the white man's friend, but he will not let me." hooking him in the face, I said, "Canachugh I am your friend." And he set down by me and said no man but I saw the workings of a mighty spirit within him.. Of his friendship and p)rotection, I could not doubt, but was utterly unable, to understand. I had done nothing which was calculated to produce mu,ch devotion, and yet I hd had the urost &1stantial evi dences of its reality, He had al ready given me the most eignal proofs of his regard, and I saw he intended to give me others. Strong and uncultivated minds often car ry their friendships .as well as their enmities to an astonishing pitch, and in the case. of Cana chugh, he had already surpassed civilization itself in the practice of' the most self?denying and noblest duties of the friend. Rousing himself from the reverie into which he had fallen, and looking intently into my face he said : "The white man and the red man have both angered the Great Spirit, my son, and I will-take you deep in the woods where you and I can commune with each other alone. I know a spot where your beJlth and strengt.h, now gretlty broken, will be r'egained, and ai medicine contained in a babbling spring, which will inspire ei life into your emaciated frame, which no pale face bag ever seen, but which I will dis cover to you. In the distant fu ture I see the time when the pale faces will crowd it~ with their sick. It is a wonderful spring, and is far away towards the ris ing sun," and placing his hand up on thaehonntifnl nonch bangring upon 1bs left breast, ho continued, "and is associated in my mind with the loss of a daughter, the lovely Enorec, the Muscadine, and nothing but the finding of a son, and his restoration to health, can reconcile me to seeing it again. We will start at the going down of the moon, and before the risiig of five suns, we will drink its heal ing waLers." "Canachugh," I replied, "I will I follow you wherever your foot steps may lead." He then threw over me an additional buffalo robe,: and laid. himself down upon his own couch to sleep. (To BE CONTINUED.) FOR THE HERALD. aIqADBI31"'S PAIIS LET. TER. NO. 6. The Exhibits of England and her Colonies Payne Jennings, Photograph Slavery in France. If geographical lines were judged by the nature and extent of the ex hibits, then would England stand forth in this great Exposition as the Imperial power of the earth ? The space allotted to her was munifi cent and generous; yet large as it is, it was insufficient for her needs, and thousands of Englishmen to day mourn over the loss of this golden opportunity asRachel mourn pd for her children and refuse tQ be comforted. The space occupied by. England, Ireland, Scotland and the eolopies, is greater than that allotted to Austria, Hungary, Spain, China, Japan, Sweden, Norway and the United States combined; while in the advantage of comwanding sit uation she exceeds them all, not being surpassed in this particular by France herself. When you con sider the various conflicting inter ests to be reconciled and the stu pendoius magnitude of the work, too much praise cannot be awarded to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and the Hon. P. Cunliffe Owen and his able corps of.assis tants for the general harmony, or der and classification which have renderedtthe British Department one of the most delightful and satisfactory to be found in this great Exposition. To Americans who remember the glory of their magnificent Oen tennial celebration at Philadelphia, only two short years ago, the present Exhibition at Paris is a source .of constant and unqualified grief. Whatever mortal man could do on meagre notice, and with lim ited appropriation, the present com missioner, Gov. McCormick, has done, and this, taken with the fact that the insignificant space alloted to the United States compelled him to turn thotisands of exhibitors away, renders this Fhibition anything but a source of pride and slitisfac tion to the citizens of the United States. This does not arise from the fact that there are not in the Ameri can Department many things that challenge comparison with the products of any nation on the face of the earth, but the space is so at tenuated and small, that the Ex hibition conveys. to the mind of a foreigner no adequnate idea of the splendid manufactures and immense resources of the United States which acknowledged no rival on the globe save in England alone. The beautiful exhibitions of silverware, which ' were the wonder and admi ration of all the foreign visitors in Philadelphia, have here a single exponent in the house of Tiffany & Co., of New York, and the goods on exhibition, touh excellent of t~eir kind, might be dropped under the counters of their great store on Fifteenth street, and never missed from their stock. You look in vain for anything approaching the gi gantic power of the great Corliss engine, Ani'rican locomotives are conspicuous for their absence, while American sewing machines, whose fame has girdled the world, are surpassed'by exhibits from little country towns in England and France, the very names of which a nnown on the other side of the water, and the political mounte- a banks whose wretched policy sue e ceeded in defeating the original v appropriation, and who finally de- d layed the paltry sum given, up to o the latest moment, may congratu- f( late themselves on having inflicted c on their native land a humiliation I which, while it may give unqualified s satisfaction to her enemies, cannot h but bring grief and sorrow to those a who glory in her prosperity and success. As you pass along the si noble avenues of the British De- n partment, you are almost oppressed a with an overpowering sense of op- d ulence and abundance that greet h you on every hand. Not only s articles of every prime necessity s demanded by the wants of man are ji here spread out before you, but IS every luxury with which'our higher I civilization pampers, his whims and a fancies seems to have been created! U and invented with a lavishness andi e: profusion that excite our admiration n and wonder. Aesthetics are subor- o dinated to everything, the lovely c linens of Paisley and the carpets of c Kidderminstef are not more bea-- R tiful after their kind, than the o loom in which they are woven or - the splendid engine by which tbe t) loom- is run. The rude potteries of a Staffordshire, Lancashire, Shrop shire and Stoke ;po4 Trent, have ii grown to things of beauty over f< which the art student lovingly lin- m gers, while the exquisite creations o of Wedgwood are such a revelation tl of genius as the Almighty has sel- 1i dom vouchsafed to any of the chil- p dren of m.en.n t( In the Hungarian and Italian t; Departments . are magniAcent ex- i hibitiou of glas8,-,the glass of tl Bohemia being the standard by sl which all other glasses are tried. o Yet, in this British collection, an h exhibit is to be seen which rivals q anything to be found in the entire w Exposition. It is not merely an w exibition of admirable utilities, a but you might almost imagine that g Golconda had poured forth its treasures and that Khoomoos and e: 3Hontains of Light were as com- ci mon as the paiing stones in -the hi street. The Machinery Department G is especially full, and much of the a: machinery is .as beautiful- as it is a: wonderful, for it is wondei-ful to see f<~ a a ponderous fly. wheel of iron e' weighiiig many tons, carrying in y its marvellous sinews the power al of hundreds of horses and yet re- o: volving on its journal with light- "' ning speed and with less vibration e1 than is felt in a lady's watch. ti On the left hand, as you enter h the British exhibit from the Grand " Hall which faces the Trocadero, is y a photographic collection which in- aa vites especial attention, not so much tl for its extent as for the supreme a excellence of the work. I confess d these sunlit pictures have always ~a ad a peculiar fascination for me. a: i seems as if the Grand Architect s1 of the Uiniverse interposed more fi directly to guide the cunning of the ft master's hand than any other form C of art. In one exhibit is a sleeping a child, as beautiful as an angel, en- a joying the sleep of the blessed. t< Ah ! what a sweet, calm, happy face, I revelling in that deep,peaceful slum- I ber that childhood only knows, hi which age seeks for in vain and on t ly finds in that land beyond the bi grave. At the extreme end of the collection a frame hangs against the wall containing a number of landscapes of English and Irish scenery, which I feel justified in saying have no equals in the world. These pictures are the work ofT Payne Jennings, of London. They are not simply photographs, they are a new revelation of art and A awaken possibilities of the future n which one hardly dreams of now. ni This art reaches away beyond the r pencil of the limaner and the chisel p of the sculptor, for its forms of t beauty are multiplied by thousands s and carry their blessings into the b humblest homes. Nothing -is more e difficult than to describe art, the t delicate detail of which is spun out t like the 'spider's web to the finest a gossamer thread, and in these pic- i tures you carr almost hear the gur- I gle of the running brook, the t crackle of the twigs in the forest, a and the music of the summer wind a through th~e leaves. This gentle- t man exhibited a few of his works at S Pilaeinn ; only a small case, t nd in the grandest photographic xhibition ever collected in the rorld, he succeeded in achieving a istinction which placed him at nee in the front rank of his pro .ssion. These later works have artainly added to his fame and ngland may pride herself on pos .ssing one artist at least who, in is peiliar branch, stands without rival. The past week, in a journalistic mse, has been almost barren of ews; no murders, no suicides, not robbery, not even a respectable runk. I regret to close this tter with the statement that avery still exists in France, but ich is the unhappy fact. I have ist discovered that there _is a ?ecial qoinance which prevents a ,oman from riding on the top of a omnibus. Teli it not in Gath; Lter it not in the streets of Ask .n0; our wives, our daughters, our Lothers whom we love, cannot ride a the top of an omnibus. She in mount to the roof pf a street ir-but ct to the top of an om ibus ; was it for this that the men f the Revolution chopped off the ead of a king, and the heroes of ie Commune made a target of an rchbishop ? W" it for this that Libprte, Egalite, Fraternite," are iscribed on all the dead walls and mces; that woman, lovely woman hom we adore should be deprived f the poor privilege pf riding on ie tqp 9f an omnibus? What berty is there in any land which revents her from riding on the )p of an omnibus? What equali r is there in a country which enies her the right of riding on ie top of an omnibus ? How can 2e fraternize with a fellow on top F an omnibus; if they won't allow er to get on top ? These are aestions vital to French liberty hich, I hope, the next Commune ill settle in a manner sharp, quick ad decisive. Another source of rief to every liberty-loving French oman (and all of them love lib -ty) arises from the fact that they m't wear their two story and a alf hats in the parquette of the' -rand Opera. Jn fact they will not low them to go in there at all, id the most magnificent and com >rtable portion of the Jiouse where rerybody can look at you, and au can look at everybody else, is >propriated exclusively to brutes men. Madam -Roland was right : 3h ! liberty, liberty, liberty !" c., etc., etc. Let the world knxow Lat here in France woman may irness herself to a donkey cart.

A BLACK PHENOM[ENON. ie Exhibition on Saturday before the Medi cairFraternity. Pursuant to a call from the [edical Society, some forty of the emabers of the fraternity met at oon, on Saturday, in the library som of the City Hospital, for the urpose of investigating the prac cal phenomena of a man pos assed of the power of moving his eart from its normal position to ither of the lower extremities of ae stomach. The man who was > perform this surprising feat ~as a negro, styling himself Dr. zekiel TEiomas, and hailing from ondon, England, where he claims > have undergone scientifical ob ~rvation time and again, as well s having exhibited himiself in all de principal cities of the United tates, baffling the medical abili es of the most distinguished to comprehend his powers. Prompt. ly, at noon, it was announced that the subject~ was in attendance without the College grounds, and the meeting was called to order by Dr. J. L. Ancrum, Vice-Presi dent of the Medical Society, who stated that the call was made for the purpose of seeing exhibited before them the body of a negro who professed to perform certain wonderful phenomena. That, in order to investigate the subject fuliy, soas to be enabled to instruct the Afedical Society on the sub ject, be would appoint a com mittee- of three to investigate, at some future tinie, the body of the man, at their leisure, to compile their report and conclusions, to report back to the fraternity, and that on this committee, with the sanction of the meeting, he would appoint Drs. Middleton Michel, Manning Simons and J. P. Chazal. The nominations thus made were unanimously confirmed by the Board. The Chairman, Dr. Ar,. crum, then saidthat an exhibition of the man would be made at the meeting now in session, and sent out and bad DR. EZEKIEL THOMAS invited int The Doctor quickly obeyed the- call, and the form of a greasy, dirty negro walked boldly into the library. He was dressed in a dirty ptir of pants, a ragged greasy coat, .and a di-rty cotton shirt. Without any ceremony, the doctor, who was a short heavy built negro, threw off his coat and began to prepare for the erhibi tion ; he next mounted the plat form, pulled off his shirt'and ex hibited his body -in a nude state from the waist up.- Being now ready for e'"hibition, he com menced by displaying to the fra ternity the wonderful musculai power of his stomach. By a mus cutar contraction he rolled and and contorted his intestines and made them revolve first in one direction and then in another at will. After exhibiting this feat, he invited them to come forward and listen to the beat of his heart / in its natural position. In order to convince them that it was there, towels were obtained and put over his skin, and the ears of the medical men, one after another, were applied to his heart's position and the beat heard. When all were satisfied that it was there, by a contortion of the mus cles in his stomach, he removed his intestines to the left sidie and dropped his heart to the bottom of the right side. The doctors sprang to their feet covered the skin with a towel and listened -to the heart beat in the right side of the stomach. He then apparently drew his heart back to its~normal posit ion. cleared the left side of the intestines in a similar way, ~and stopped his heart on-this side; here the Doctors listened for the heart again, and found it; this was repeated three or four times on each side, and all were con vinced of the strange power the negro was possessed of. The next exhibition waubiat of stopping the circulationa of blood and the pul sations of the heart, pulse and arteries throughout the body. He called on all first to examine him, and while they held his pulse and their fingers on the arteries in the neck, he called out ready, said good bye, and in an inftant all ceased to beat. After this he per formed the feat of breaking a bar of iron three-quarters of an inch in diameter by striking it across the muscles of his powerful athle tic arm. The hat was then handed around for a collection, and the meeting adjourned to take up Dr. Ezekiel Thomas at some future day.-Journal of Commerce.
