The trembling dow-drops fall Upon the shattered flowers like souls at rest ; Tho stars shine gloriously, and all, Save me, is blest. Mother, I lova thy grave !

'Tis a bright flower, yet must 1tq brightest leaves to the tempest bow Dear mother, 'tis thine emblem-dust Dust is on thy brow And I could love in di-, To leave untasted life's dark,bitter streams, By thee, as erst in ohihlhoo.l. lie.

Aye, must I linger here, A lonely branch upon a blnsteel tree, Whose last frail leaf, ttntimely sere, Went down wiith thee ? Oft from life's withered bower, In still conmmunication with the paet I turn, And muse on thee, the only flower In mrenol'lys tiln.

Before we started, said ð,'says he=-"A bel, we can get skins better than wo can catch 'eti, and a tarnal sight easier, by buy ing them of the redkins & we can get 'vm, for a song t so let us biy a lot of nottonet and go out ontthe prairie and eat u0t a shop." "Agreed," says I, "only let us go beyond most people that trade with the varmints?' Well, we bought a little o' every thing to tickle the Indians with, and of' we started and set up a shop on the prairie. This was 'long in No; vember, and for a time we (lid a smashing business among the heath ens. We could buy a skin worth five dollars for a stting of beads antd a jaekkttife, and otb'ers in proportion. l~y-an-By tlie redskins began to get ugly. WVe could see it in their sullen looks ;' and thought they trraded nearly as much a-S evet, we bs'gan to think they meant misohief'. So Seth' and I talked the matter over, and counclud ed unless we wanted to -lose our furs and -horses, to say nothing of our ~alps,- we had better lenve sometime "etw'eet fdo' days. 1 always had great affectiron for moy hair, and never could thitn8 of letting a red heathatn htave it to hting in his belt ; and S'etht, hte, also kinder tlhopght that way.

Thinks I-what would I give if had the power of old Father Joshua so that I could make the moon staru still for an hour or two. But I hadn't and afore long it was lighting u] everything as bright as day. Another yell, further off, but ful as sharp as the first. We stopped ou horses, and dismounting, threw our selves l-tt on our faces, and plaed ou ears to the ground. A moment, dt we were satisfiod that the pursuit ha< begun; we could plainly hear tbeii horses' hoofs striking the ground at b qnick rate. Hastily springing to tl; back of our horses, we bounded away All that night the chase was kepi up, and when the morning came an< the sun had risen, we could see oui pursuers not above a mile away-ap. parently two-score in number, upor our trail. Would they never turt back ? was the (question I asked Soth but he shook his head, and urged or his tired beast. On we went, the dry grass crack ling beneath our feet, our horsec breathing hard, and their strongtl well nigh-gone. "They are coming upon us," I ex laimed, looking around an hour lat er. "Yes," saith Seth, " we must thros away our furs ; there is no help for it mnd perhaps that will satisfy them." It was a hard case but the strap were out, and away rolled the rewari rf all our time and toil upon th< prairie, and we kept on. A little later we looked back. The3 3ame up to the packs, but still cam< -n. Two remained behind to rescue the plunder, but the others came on thirsting for our blood. On, on aurs was a race for life. Our horses wern nearly worn out but still they went on-; how much longer they would hold out we knew not, but they iust fail soon ; but should those on which the Indian were rtiounted prove the strongest, our Fate wAs decided. suddenly the sun grew dark, arnd the smell of fire filled the air. W< bad not noticed this before, but as w< rode round the edge of a forest that lined a small hollow, we paused in terror. Before us was a line of fire, ex tending as far as the eye could reach %nd coming toward us at a considera ble speed, for the wind was in our Faces. For a moment we were duni with horror at ot' situatton. If w< turned back, death would be sure at the hands of the totdkins; if we kept e, w6 must perish iti the flames. Al hope of escape seemed gone. A shout of trliniph camne from the redskins , they thought orr capttire sure. 'The tre is more merciful than th< red devils, said Seth, as he dismount ed. I did the same. With a strir torn from our blankets we blindfold ed our heroses, and then mounting an< then wrapping the r6mainder of oui blankets closety around us, urge them toward the crackling flames. The poor creatures snored with fen but obeyed the reins and voices. F1: a minute the heat was terrible, an< the smoke suffocating, and tte next breathe. We disinounted, or rathe tumbled oni to the hot, ground, an< tore the bandage from the eyes of on. poor steeds.

At the time of the ex plosion the engine had a heavy head of steam on. It was the boiler made by Ernker & Co., of this city, but it leaked, and the cause is supposed to have been the want of water. The engineer and nearly all the men working at the machine are simong the dead. But one womar was killed and one child. There were narrow escapes, a horse attached to a carriage being killed and none of the oecu pants injured. A piece of the boiler passed over the head of Governor Ba. ker and fatally wounded his coach. man. The disaster has created in tense excitement.

The old gentleman was walking about the carriage-yard smoking a cigar and waiting for his splendid team to be attached to the vehicle. lie was in a horribly bad humor, and in response to the request of our reporter for some facts, opin ions, views, and predictions, from his sage and most financial mouth, said half graciously, that he would answer any questions, but that he knew noth ing whatever, and, in fact, that he was "the datmndest fellow for knowing nothing that you ever saw."

The Bishop of L was a man of eniently social and con geniial habits, atid being something of an origimal himself, his reverence could hearti!v appreciato a good joke. A n eccent.rio of any kind would bring mor, joy to hii heart than a hundred liturgies or oriadns, and wheni he cane across ijyitidhig or tile .hi'd lie gave it his en tire a' teition. One warm day in sun mer lie was traveling in a part of Lan cashire, an.. . i dfd at ii hostelry 10 shalte oi le fat igue and dust of hi's jouriey. After taking a supck of lin:. lie wandered out in a pleisank htile I grove that stood convenient to 11o inn, which vops delibioiisly bbh'. lledring the sond ot voices io peered through a hedge of bushes and beheld a man sit. ting on the root of a tree iWillh twq hands desNlt for a gart uf Eids, hid giving vent, to excited ejaculations. "A lunatic probably," thought his E reverence, atd at the sftme ti1t*6 cough ed slightly. h b The man raised his head, but his eyes were not devoidl of reason, and he bow ed rospectfuly to the slepherd. "Mly son;' said the Bishop, " ou seem quite beside yourself. May I ask what you are engaged at?" "Certainly," replied tJie itvan r "I anI haviing a rubbet 0ith dod." This coivlned l td tefttOffto 6t the mnr.n's lunacy; Wid af tfe same time lie saw no harm uit ursuing the sub jece. "And hos dded . le tuo run!9 said the BislioIl liiandlv. "I hfavb no chattee at alt t6-dag 'e plied the man, throwinig I te cards in diagnst; "I already owe Him orie puind foar and six." "And how do you pay your loses ?" "Oh, he always scuds ddtite good Pr son to whom I make over the amount for Lhe poor. I see you are a clergyman, sir ; pray take thii and us it as vot think proper ;" and lie counted out otr a well-filled purse the anount tueuttioied, which the Bishiop necepted' w i(fiofitt scruples ot any kind. He then bade his singulitr acquaintance good day, and re. tuirned to the inn. The moneyq wasjildit ciout,ly laid out for oharitabid pUffno6d.t For many days the prelate did not see his flighty friend again. le happened I to be going the same way soon after, f and passing the spot forbidden to clergy. men, viz: the tap-room of the tavorn, he beheld his friend solacing lia sorrows with a cup of nogns. His reverence sat sentry some time in a window above, and after awhile saw the inan emerge from the inn and disappear in tie grove. Donning his chapeau, lie followed his trail, and after a little search, found the man as before, seated on the root of a tree, with the pasteboards spread out before him. "Well, my son," said the Bishop, pleasantly. "how runs ihe luck to day ?" "Better, better, thank you," replied the gentleman. "I was flush with mon. ey, and have jiist won a large stalro fort.y pounds." "And how does God pay you?" said his reverence, with a pleasant smile at the man's silly theory. "He sends along sone rich person, and," groping in the pockets of his coat tail, "they give whatever I have won." The hand camein out of the pooket withI a jerk, anid there was a villainous littlo pistol cocked and ;irimed staring his reverence unpleasantay in thie face. His clerical knees knocked together, and ho dropped his pocketbook before the ex traordinary gamester. "I should say about twenty pounds," said lhe, taking a peep at the content, "but your tirale-pleco will settle the dif fe'reftde.'1 Ci& came the Bishop's i atoh, *)iich wvas gold and gonty. "That's a fine ring you have," said the mlan, "but you may ke.ep it ;" add ing despondently, "remember, allowing seventeen poipdh for' the Watch,' you i're Ltiull~ a;I~l i' my debt, but you may do wtithi i te d's ou did .with the I-lis reverence wats out abolit a hfun dredl guin'ais,'bhit wih a prais'ewvorthya ~a 'ocla ion~' of a good joke, he aftet wr.reatied'it himself wvith great une Tar 'ouN 0 : eri' Free Prdedsay aa:' "To those who thinit that Egypt.o~r India can raise cottorw M e r~plyes tite2 ajhern S'taus( #6 afo oe rphi 'dfugi fflW it'~bf hiithiasing for ?760 Y,- ottid fiii niills' Vatvtbt b0gdf ridy~tlerthe 10tachinery o mttrwas cnso , vehoqfQ rdil M~b ri~~ j 3~o s was ' mi y tMash E tH.~t iti 4- td d4~,~; Uotton Production---Advioe to British Manufacturers.

Don Piatt, one of the j(blest and de eldedly the mbat honest of the Vestern Radicals, writes to the Cincinnati Con. merciCl: Since the publ'cation of my Ifarvesq Home speech I have bebn cruelly read out of the Republican party. One of my oldest friends, who edits tho county printing in Bellefontaine, his g ono and dol'e it. He did it with tears, but duty dibiged, and with Roman firmness ho eobut.ed his task and me. I was not soikHi.on protection, and had adjravat ed my crime by conmenting on the thieves in our party who are sound on protection. It was painful, but it had to be done. So much Roman firmness in so small a place is woliderful. It di'lit Lo be bottled. I ventured to tell our friends in Washington last winter that unless they cheapefled inanufactlired articles, and so enhanced the price of agricultural prol ducts and lightened taxation, we could liot Hoge to carry Oho sifid Indiaia this fi. And now that we are threatened, my friends got nervous and insinuate that I am anxious for a defeat, liko a physician who, having given a profound dutgnosis of an obscure disease, is anx ilds tQ have him die so as to verify the ddctor's science. Well, perhaps so; as old Staffletoti said; "There is a deal of humanl nature inI a ?ual1, alid some in a wonan too." Having taken upon ourselves, as a patty organization, the entire business of the people, regulating pribes and pay ing bounties, we must Iot complaim lieii held responsibltI. Whilo manu fau tirors grow rioh auid the agricultural interests languish-while merchaits contemplate, in sorrow, their full shelves andde.iipty store-rooms-while laborers seek in vain for enipoymenta and our laororsaie silent, we cannot cry out lke Macbeth with truth, when startled by the tor-sorial condition of his enemy's head.
