PASS I N 1 i AWAY. Passing away, pasaing away; Tiit Sweat summer roses uro passing away ; Their beauty is \vnete4, their fragrance has lleil. Ana withering tliej lie in their damp, lowly bed. The fair, dewy morns in llicir splendor will rise, The pslo stars glow soft in evening's clear akiea ; The coaling dew fall and die musical rain, llut these rests will brighten, ah, never again ! Passing away, passing away ; Bright l?epes of ray youth?hew they're passing away, IFi'h the beautiful visions that gladden ray eye It day timt and night time, as suulight the skies ! Oh. hope may corns back to my sorrowful heart; Height dreams from their long silent chambers may start. Put these of my youth I tnay woo all in vain, For th?y aever will rctnra in their beauts again ! Passing away, passing awaj ; Friends I have loved?bow they're papain: away ! 1 have watched them go down to that cold, sol emu ii'ic, 1'te caught the dull Hip of their deep, inutile oar, Ai Lore thoiu away to that eclialeas shore ! Ar.d uiv heart arieth eut in its desolate pain ; (tut they ne'er will return to bless aso again I Fussing iwat, passing away; Yc; 1 know of a land where there if no decay Where the ' almy aire filled with tho riches! pcvfuiko Front sweet, fragrant flowers, and fadeless their bloom ; Where tho soul noser grieves as it doth hero, Itelow O'er fair vanished dreams, o'er hope's fitful gloW, Where linked aud forever is lOva's golden chain And parting words chill us, O never again! v ' Thb^JkSjvTka.- ^T'lio l)ca?l sea, writes a correspondent, is abuut forty miles Ion:,', airl about eight in width.

This it possible, but probably im agination has sonielhiug to do with the feeling. True it is. however, that ueithcr man nor living thing tarries many hours in ito vicinity, nor is a boat seen on its solita ry waters, although from their high spe cifie gravity everything floatable swims on its surface with remarkable buoyancy.? Even the naval officer who undertook to survey its boundaries and sound its depths has done so very imperfectly, driven off, il # 4 remember aright, b^ieknees. The waters of the Dead sea contain a fourth part of solid matter, of which ouehi'f is common salt, ft is Kni?l or bed of the sea is asphalt, and lumps of bitumen aro frequently seen on its shores, as arc also flakes of sulphur. The scene of solitude is awful, nor can I imagine any puuishmcut more sever* than to be lc't h*r? ulone even for a iingle week. The Y*ilry of tftc Dead se'a is surely the most extraordinary feat of geography. Its wa tors have becu sounded, and found l.o-U feet deep, so that its bottom is nearly a utile lower than Jerusalem ! Ever filling and without egress, yet it is never full?asurcdly no unfit type of tho "valley of the slmd otfr of death." Dnthing our hands in its waters, a disagreeable feeling remained mi til wo bad afterward washed them in the t Jordan bulber on in Mie afternoon. ROLL OK MEHBEB80F GENERAL A88EMBLY.

J Gamblers Locked in an Air Tight v , Vault.?Among the desperate devices re- X - sorted to by the Chicago faro-bank propriotors, to evade the vigorous raids of the po1 lice a favorite ono is to lock up the inmates in (ire-proof vaults, which arc sup'* plied with ventilating holes for this pur- ^ 0 pose. Sunday morning at 1 o'clock George l* Hank inn's place was raided, and seventeen ' players wero bundled into the vault, the y door locked and the police admitted, Ha?d kins and a colored servant remaining out ;s side. Instead of going away, as usual, on d finding the room deserted, the officers, who >1 were up to the dodge, sat dowu and waited, o Noticing the ventilating holes, they stuffed "] d paper into them and again sat down and J e- waited. In about an hour the air in the ^ rw vault had become so vitiated that the pris- L 'd oners became desperate, and from the inside came faint cries of "Let us out; wc c ? are nearly dead.'' TCvcn then the proprie ii- tor refused for a time to liberate them, and ic when he did the seventeen inmates rushed | ill out in a state bordering on suffocation. One J, )u old man was nearly dead, and all were tor- s -- riuiy exnausted. The confiitoincnt of seventecn men in an airtight vault only eleven . a feet square was a dangerous experiment which faro-hank patrons will hardly con- g '<* sent to try again, and its disastrous result a* will he of value in aiding the police in their 'n efforts to suppress gambling in Chicago. id ? - -?- ? ;t "*i'ffow ^ titky Plant Corn in the ^ Mountains.?Hon.
