LINES ON A SKELETON. 1
[Slaty year* n/o the London Mousing Chkojiiclji
published a'pocnt entitled "Line* on a Skeleton," which
excited much nttentlon. Every effort, even to tho offer- J
lug reward of ttfty guineas, was vainly made to dts* l
cover tho author. All that ever transpired wa*, that
the jsimn, in a fidr, clerkly hand, was found near a skcletou
of remarkable beauty of form and color, in the
museum of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lincoln's Inn, t
London, and that the curator of the museum had sent
them to Mr. Perry, editor aud proprietor of the Mousing
Cukosulk.] t
lleliold this ruin I 'Twits a skull i
Once of ethereal spirit full ; I
This narrow cell was Life's retreat.
This space was Thought's mysterious seat.
What bsaolsnna fill-.i - ? 1
What dreams of pleasure, long forgot! t
Nor hope, nor love, nor joy, nor fear, I
Has left one trace of record here. I
lleneath the mouldering canopy
Onco siione the bright and busy eye ; ]
Hut start not at the dismal void? f
If social love that eye employed, I
If with no lawless fire it gleamed.
Hut through the dews of kindness beamed, ^
That eye shall be forever bright i
When stars and sun are sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready, swift and tuneful tongue ; a
If falsehood's honey it disdained, ti
And where it could not praise was chaiued,
If bold in virtue's cause it spoke, i}
Vet gentle concord never broke,
This silent tongue shall plead for thee *
When time uuveils eternity. *
Say, did these fingers delve the mino T i
Or with its envied rubies shine ? (
To hew the rock, or wear the gem,
Can little now avail to them.
Hut if the of truth they sought, '
Or comfort to the mourner brought,
These hands a richer meed shall claim j
Than all that wait on Wealth or Faute. <
Avails if, whether bare or shod, ^
These feet the path of duty trod.
If from tlio bowers of Ease they fled, 1
To seek Affliction's humble shed ; (
If grandeur's guilty bribe they spurned,
And home to Virtue's cot returned,
These feet with angel's wings shall vie
And tread the palace ol the sky.

The spring (lay rose from her sleeping ?
In the deep, dim caverns of inist, *
With the waiting world to bo keeping 8
Her brief and beautiful tryst ;
But her sweet eyes opened weeping, r
As the sunshino her pale lids kissed,
And thus she rose from her sleeping
In the caverns of eastern mist. 1
The world had dreamed of the meeting, I
From the first of the farthercst years ;
But her hand was cold to his greeting,
And her cheeks were bitter with tears; '
Her voice was the wind repeating !
The pain of the heart that hears ; 1
But the world was glad of the meeting
To the last of the lingeriug years.
For forth from her tears came flowers, I
And out of her grief delight,
And the buds swelled under the showers ;
The blossoms, with sandals white,
ClimbeJ up to their forest bowers, '
From the broken seeds and night;
But who could foretell the flowers,
Or see in the grief delight.
A GRAPHIC PICTURE OF THE EARTHQUAKE !
IN CHIOS. 1
The London Times' correspondent at t
Chios, under date of the 7th inst.. telegraphs ;
as follows ; I have just arrived here from t
Constantinople and lind the picture of desolutiou
such as is rarely witnessed. The '
town looks as if it had bccu terribly bom- <
barded. Hundreds of houses are trarsftirmon
into sliajiolasx m;i&srs or ruino, luwlap
which lie buried an unkown number of vie- <
tims. A majority of the rcmaing houses
arc already cracked and roofless and may fall
at any momcut. Nearly every building in
town has suffered more or less. The inhabitants
wander about anxious to search for
missing relatives or lost property, but afraid
to risk their lives in the perilous work of
clearing away the rubbish, and many who
are willing to expose themselves to danger i
arc prevented by friends or the police.?
Fear, grief and despair arc depicted on i
every face. All have some sad or tragic lalo <
to tell. The first shock was fcit on Sunday
aftcruoou at about half past 1 o'clock. lm- I
mediately houses began to full, wild shrieks 1
were heard on every side and then followed <
an awful silence of some minutes. ]
The terriGed survivors gradually ventured ]
into the narrow lanes and reached the opcu
spaces. Shortly afterward another terrible {
shock completed the demolition, then it re- <
ntained quiet until 6unsct when it again I
began to shake the island throughout as <
severely as before. All night shocks succeeded
each other at slnrt intervals and t
each one was proceeded by dull sounds like i
subterranean explosions. Siuce that frequent
shocks have been felt. A few minutes
ago while writing the present dispatch 1
i ,t:o?;^??t.. -
a umuuvin nuuiu uII expiUSlOn-llkc sound I
nnd felt the earth tremble, but as I am uii- i
dcr canvass I ha"c nothing to fear. An old
Genoese fortress containing about four huu- {
Urcd houses inhabited by Mussulmans and i
Jews suffered more than the r.-stof the towu. \
The ground there suuk about a half metre, <
and nearly all the houses were immediately <
destroyed and several hundred persons must i
have perished. About thirty Mussulman I
women were assembled in one of the houses,
not one of whom escaped. The southern 1
part of tho island is snid to havo suffered i
more than this town. The gun vessel liit- i
fern arrived here this-morning nnd the cap- i
tain at once came ashore, and, after consulting
with tho Governor of tho island, organized
relief parties for tending the wounded
nnd extricating the dead from the ruins.
He then went over to Chesmc and made
careful inquiries regarding the state of that
town and the inhabitants. Tomorrow he
intends visiting the southern part of the <
island, whore Km has been done forthosuf- ;
ferers. I visited Chesmc this afternoon.? <
Only about ten inhabitants woro killed, but <
many houses are in ruins and very many 1
more are dilapidated. The mayor assured (
mo that three-quarters of the houses are iu i
a dangerous coudition. The inhabitants are i
afraid to live even iu those which are unin- \
jurcd, for every night sinco Sunday frequent s
i-hocks havo been felt. Nearly nil prefer to r
camp out, and. as tho weather is lino, the i
hardship iu this respect is now gsent. It is I
said that throughout the district not loss t
than 30.000 people aro without shelter. c
In Kastro the work of extricating the <
bodies and attending to the wounded is pro- t
greasing satisfactorily, but tho stifling odor i
jn tho vicinity of many of tho ruins shows i
that tho former operation is far from oom- t
plote. On tho other hand somo wonderful t
escapes havo occurred. One woman was c
buried under the ruins tor fifty-two hours, i
and at hut was rescued, having given birth r
in tho meanwhile to a child. The child is d
tlpnd, but the ^on.tan is doing well. |?

iddress this meeting on the subject of the f
Perils of the Youth of To-day," hut did t
lot conic. t
The President of the Conveution, llev. f
11. D. Smart, prcsidiug, called on Rev. A. j
[Joke Smith to speak ou that subject.
Mr. Smith made an admirable address. (
Uo Kills) tbili tlio poriL Io illo ^oulll of today
wore from three principal causes:
1. The spirit of speculation, which grew f
out of a desire to bo rich ; and to this, he
said, every ono was guilty of contributiug
who helped to cultivate a disposition in society
that would give undue respectability
to wealth.
2. The unsettled state of political affairs, '
which tempted men to sacrifice their priu- '
ciples to their ambition.
3. Intcmpcranco, which had its pit falls
everywhere to drag young men do.vn to (
dishonorable lives and drunkards' graves.
IIo exposed the fallacy of the argument
'.hat to legislato against bar rooms is class
legislation, and said that the sober people
)f the country have as much right to be
protected by legislation as the iutcuiperatc g
people have. t
lie urged as the great and ouly sure safeguard
against all these evils was the spread
jf Christianity, and urgod parents to labor to
>ring their sons to the Saviour, who alone 1
;ould guide them safely through. |
Mr. Smith was followed by interesting j
euiarks from Messrs. Kiikland and Palter- j

An Indian Battlb-fjeld Revealed.

he Coosa flooded this place, and the cur*
ent that swept over it was so strong that in
ouic places It washed off the surface to the
stent of five acres down to thn clay. In
>no of these washes a buried Indian bat*
le field was exposed to view. The grouud
vas strewn with bones. Not a human

le that the Coosa had, as it were, so sudlenly
lifted up into broad day. In addition
o tho bones a large number of Indian beads,
rarying iu size from an average hickory nut
o a small pea, wore also found. In one
>lacc an .Indian pipe, carved into thoshapo
f a human face, was picked up. As there
rc a great many loss, so lying one on the
