It was midnight in Venice ; the great cluck had struck, and was still echoing through every porch and g illery in the quarter oi' St. Mark, when a young citi zen, wrapt in hi-* cloak, was hasteuiug hoiflc from an interview with his mis tress. His step was light, for his heart was so. Her parents hid just consented to their marriage ; and the very day was named. 'Lovely Giulicltu !' he cried, 'and shall 1 then call thee mine at last ? Who was ever so blest as thy Marco lini V But as he spoke he stopped ; for s* un tiling glittered on the pavement be f re him. It was a scabbard of rich workmanship; an 1 the discovery, whit was it but au earnest of good fori une ? Moit th -ti thereV he cried, thrus iug it gaily into hi - belt. 'If another claim* thee n't. tliou hast changed masters ! ? and on he \v. nt as before, humming the burden of a song which he and his Giu liclta had beeil singing together. Hut little we know wlrat the next minute will bring forth ! He turned by the Church of St. (Jomiuiuno, und in three steps met the watch. A murder hud just been committed. The Senator U"uu di had been found dead ut hid door, tue d igger left in his throat; and the unfortunate .Marcolini was dragged a any lor exsiiuimiti u. The place, the time, everything served to excite, to justify ?Uripiciou ; and no sooner had he entered tin guard house than a damning wi.ucss appeared against him. 'flic bravo in his flight had thrown away his scabbard; ami, smeared with blood ? with blood n 'I yet dry. it was now in the belt til .liar colini. Its pntr'eiau ornaments struck every eye; and when the fatal dagger was produced and compared with it, not a doubt o*' hi*, guilt remained. Still ?here i" in the innocent an energy, a Composure?an energy when they speak, i compn.mrc when they urc sl'lent, to which none can be alto ether insensible; and ti.e judge dc.tyed fur Home time to pronounce the sentence, though he was a near relation of the dead. At lci*?lh. howuvcr, it came; and Marcolini lost his life, Giulietta her reason. Not many years nilcrwards, the truth revealed itself, the real criminal in hid last momenta ?srtsfr?? sing ?!;._. c-fUioi l s;?d hence ? lie custom in Venice, u custom that long prevailed, for a crier to ofy out in the court before a sentence was passed, ?Iletueiubei' poor Marcolini !' Great indeed Was the lamentation throughout the city ; and tho judge, thing, directed that thenceforth and fur er er a mass rtrioUld be sung every night in n chapel of the lltic.il church, for his own soul of Marcolini. and the sotild of all who bail Buffered by all Unjust judg mcnt. Some laud on tin* Bi-tna was left by him for the purpose; and still is ihn mass snug in the chapel ; still every night, when the great square is illumi nated, and the casinos tiro filling fast with lliu guy and the dissipated, a bell is rung us Jitr a service, und a ray of light is seen to iastie from u small, got hie window that looks towards the place; of execution,?the plape where, on a scaffold, Marcolini breathed his last. The Indians of North Anierira observe an admirable rule in their social inter course ; and that is, of speaking only one at a time We curucsily recommend the unqualified adoption of this simple rule in all families, for" tho belter pre servation of domestic quietness. Remarkable Discovery. During the heavy gales which prevail ed last fall, the tide on one occasion was driven so low iu the North River that a iv tu ark ble discovery was made. About seven miles north of St. Augustine, oh tho west shore of North Hi vor. the re Ii. u ins of an ancient city where disclosed. The parties who have given us this in lorinutiou, are ready to conduct any who desire to the sp >t. Several wells walled in with coquiua are uow visible uuder water, but the foundations of the hotum* can only be felt with a pole, on the occasion of the discovery, a gate had prevailed for four or five days from the north, diiviug the water out of tho river to uu extent never betVrc known. Fur ther investigation have also brought to light a coquiua quarry on this si tue bite; und, what is the most remarkable, the quarry is iu the midst of a dense ham mock?and which any one c.iu see now, bj taking tho trouble to go there. The rock is of a quality equal to any on Auaetasia Island, and the quarry has been extensively used, doubtless, for the pu p se of building this city or settle ment?for one or tho other it certainly was. The question which naturally arises is, by whom was this seltlemout made ?by natives of this coutiucut, or Eu ropeans? AH historiographers agree Ponce dc Leon, a companion ot Colum bus, iu his Freund voyage, first touched on this now world ut tt point three miles north of St. Augustine. This would have brought him within four miles of this city, or settlement, whichever it has been. Say they, one und all,"he bund the natives fierce and impluc.role." Hut, at this period 1512?all history is si lent, and we hear nothing m ire of 1*1 ri da or of America uutil 1526, when Nurvacz arrived on the western or gulf totst. Who wi.l sdve tins mysttry? Perhaps it may throw light on the his tory of America, hitherto concealed Tor let it be reuiembercd that St. Au gustine was the first city settled in America. Our city is still thronged with visitors. There in y l.-.: some curious enough to search into llu history of their c 'Uutryj or, at least, carious enough to gratify their own curiosity. There are pie isuru b i its a plenty in the hir bor, and at tbis delightful season we I would suggest that a trip up the North River?on y scveu miles?could bo accomplished in a very short titn i ? wind and tide favoring?which our "pleasure yao'it Amt" perfectly comp-e bend. Who wi.l go to solve this my ?tu ry about which we ourselves desire all ! the information we can obtniu.'? St. Ainjuiline (/7o.) Pita*. A Curious Fact?It is singular that the name of God should bo spelled with four letters in almost every known language. It is iu Latin, Dcu.t; in Greek, Zeus, j Hebrew, Adou; Syrian, I Adnd; Arabian, Alia; Persian, Syra; Tartarian, Igda; Egyptian, Auma er Zcut; East Indian, Esgi or Zcul; Japanese, Zain; Turkish, Addi ; Scand inavian, Odin; Wullachiun, Zone; Croa tian, D??ga ; Dalmatian, Kogl ; Tyrrhen ian, Eher; Etrurian, Chur; Margariuu; Oese; Swedish, ('odd; Irish, Dich; German, Gott; French, Dielt; Spanish. Dios; mid Peruvian Linn. The name of God in the Anglo Sasns S?ugusge j means good, and the signification affords j singular testimony of the Agio saxou conception of the essence of the Divine Heiug. Ho is goodness itself, and the Author of ull goodm ss. Yet the idea of* denoting the Deity by a term equivalent to abstract and absolute perfection, striking as ;t in ?y appear, is perhaps less remarkable than the fuct that the word man, used to designate a human being, formerly signified wickeduuas.

"Fashion" of Funeral* iw York.?The presentipnovatioa is to the body upon a couch, dressed in its ' accustomed clothing, with a pillow under tho head Tho position is usually thai of the right or left side, aud the hand* are arranged in some caturul and easy position. If tho dead is a lady, * hand* some shawl is thrown over the figure, and it a man, an afghan or silken quilt serves for a covering. Flowers are iu the room; but not iu such obstrtnive abundance as to tnako the order of these beautiful things haunt yon forever after ward. The funeral is announced, wad the friends and acquaintance**!*invited, through the public prints, to be pre**** and take leave of tho departed. No hearse and ou coffin affront the sight und chill the blood with thse traditionti seutiiuents which affrighted our childish years. As many days afterward* as the condition of the remains will" permit, s> few of tho nearest aud dearest are invi ted to assist in the sad ' ceremony pf burial. Loving heads lift and lower tho casket, and tender ones strew the earth softly above it with flowere, end pcrhnps some favored wrappings of the dead uro add d to lie between the dust winch usually falls so heavily and harsh ly upon the other dust that is so dear.. No struugc eye witnesses this last sacred attention to tho departed, and no roem ory of a thoughlees jar or heavy tread comes back to embitter the remembrance of the sorrow ful event?Chicago Times. Wild Birds Tamkd.?The Saint Augustine (Fla.) Press ha* the follow* iug: "We witnessed * novel, interesting and beautiful sight, a few days ago, at the farm of Mrs. Hildretb, situated in the North river, about two miles above the city. Mrs. Hildretb, iu the course of a few months, has succeeded in tarn ing the wild birds that fly about the place. While we were in the house, Mrs. II, went out to the door and cal led to the birds, which were then in the middle of the day, in the adjoining forst. loa few moments a dozen or more bine Li ids and mocking bird* earns, flying around her. She then came into the house and handed each of our party a raisin, which we were requested to hold out iti our fingers. We remained still for a lew minutes, when the birds hopped iu at the door, flew epon onr hands and then picked the raisins from onr fingers."
