Yes, I feel that the spirit they call the soul, Will soon leave its prison of clay; A'ud I feel that mine eyes will ne'er open again, On the pnssion and sin of life's daty.

"'T1ho cinders went up it-44-'ed blat:. ing-masses from one to three feet in diamo. ter, and cain down upon the o-no hardon ei. striking with a clinking, metallic sound.

The Rochester Express has an ac. count of a singular case that has occur red in that city, in which one Avoman was claimed asa laowful wife by two husbandl, each of whom had been legal. lv matried to her-the last marriage taking place when the first. husband was believed to be dead. The facts are thi'sp: Two young men were oery friendly to each other. One of theni had a wife for whom he cetrished all of a husband's regards ; the othe*r was an ardent bsudent and experimenter in sct entific mattorp, and a bachelor- having devoted himself to perfecting a seontifle istrurnent to demonstrato a formula which he had conceived in his mind. Oh the outbreak of the wit the yoting marrriedi nimv went into the army ; and before doing so, exacted-a- promise: from his friend that in caselie was slain, and ne r returned, he (the friend at home) would marry his wife and give - hera permanent home and support. With this assurance that his wife was provid ed for, the soldier went to the war. After a while report cu'me that he was killed in. battie, and his wife mournedl fr her l'ost husband. E N& nut re turn, at all events at the endof the war. and after due space was given to mourn ing the promite given to the absent and supposed to be deceased soldier was lulfilled; the widow became the wit of tho husband's friend, and their jby was crowned by the birth of 'ia handsome child, on which the parents doat ed, There is another incident: iti t hin so far simple ta'e, which gives it greater interest. Aoon after the soldier march ed to th ,e South, the student waw tahen sick in his' fbrlorn dormitory, and be was believ-edi by his kind physician to be very near death's door. He must have careful and constant nursing, or must iin'vitablv die-with the longing of his soul unfuifilltd. In this emergeney,. t he soldier's wife, who was earning her live. lihood by sewing. was called in.. She went to the lodgings of the yotmrg man --Ita block in the centre of the ciy -and there rursed him throiigh the fever,. and back to convalescence and labor. fi this way the lady had' eslab. lished a claim on her own part to the fulfilment of the pledge given in friend ship-for her husba d. Nvow comes the conclusion - A short timesince the long absent soldier reap. peared, oxpl'ained the reason of lils long absence (the circumstances which do tained him we have- not learned), and claimod his wife. The second husband was loth to surrender his wik-, who was he 'nother of his child' M''o, and he de clited to give fi.er up. The question as to whvitih had the best right to the wo ninn was submitted to a legal' tribunal, on the-last day of 1867,,the-eettw dkcided that the first marriage was binidii and' the- wife must paso tolhe fbMner liusbntnd -a discision- which all parties are under. stood to abide.

"The smoke hlel," said Pro. fessor Pihlieri, "were covered with sub. limartes of sitlmarine and motallio chlo. rares; the smoke istued, too, not, only from the cone on the summit, bait an. other lateral hole which, from the great deposit of material around it, has grown into the dignity of a cone. On-Tuesday night the spectacle was grand beyond all power of description. liarge iaasses of lava were shot up to a great height, one of which, even from the city, was seon to fail. like a- mighty rock, and roll down the sides of the great cone.
