THE DAILY NEWS. The Maiden's Oracle. "Mon amant m'aime-un pju-beaucoup-passione ment-pas du tout f" Ob, what can ail that inti den fair that she should rise at dawn, While yet the mist is on the hills, the dew is on the lawn i The lark's on high-the morning sky, suffused* with saffron light. Is decking with a golden fringe the flying skirts of night Ehe rises from her downy couch, and dons her robes with care, And in a knot with ribbons binds her wealth of nnt brown hair; Then down the house steals silently as fleeting shad? ows pas And flings the tall French windows wide, and stens upon the grass. She^lides across the dewy lawn, that maiden young and fair: Her cheeks are kissed to ruddy flush bv morning'^ eager au-. And bright the morning's jewels gleam upon her dress's hem. Tho tiny twinkling diamonds lroin morning's dia? dem. Tho roses glow to tempt her hand ;-the stately lilies bend To do the maiden reverence ;-tho lowly violets send Their richest Incense forth for ber;-the passion? flowers seek To touch wirb trails of bud and bloom her soft and blushing cheek. She passes all the roses by ; she lets the lilies stand; She does not heed- the violets that sigh to touch her hand; The passion-flower on the porch she leaver-, scarce pausing there To free the darling tendril-twine that's tangled in her bair. The odors of the violet-iheglorios of the rose The passion-flower's mysteries-she heeds not these nor those: 1 By all the g> rden beauties, in their prid of early daws, She passes-stooping down to pick a daisy from the lawn. One tiny daisy, erimson-Bpped, and wet with pearly dew, To be a maiden's oracle, and tell if lo . e be true I She hides it next her beating heart; then, like a frightened lawn. With hasty steps she hurries bock, and, blushing, quits the lawn. She pauses by the cabinet within the ancient hall, And one by one with trembling hand she stripe the petals small, And overlow she whispers as she letB the leaflets lall "My lover loves me-little-deeply-madly-not at ali My lover loves me-little-deeply-madly-i ot at all I" How AB AMERICAN OED EUROPE CHEAPLY. A Hr. Keeler is lecturing in Boston on the Bubj'ect of hie undertaking to make the "grand tour" of Bui ope upon the sum ot $181 in green? backs, his starting point being Toledo, Ohio. Hr. Keeler ?B evidently a Toledo blade of great keenness. Ho got a freo ride to the seacoast, bought a steerage ticket in New York for Lon? don, grot a glimpse of the World's Fair in the great city, saw the Emperor's fete in Paris, and at length arrived in Heidelberg, where he took lodgings in.a sky parlor al a rent of two gulden or eighty cents a month. Hero ho pur? sued his studies at the University, and sus? tained a decently comfortable existence upon I breakfasts, four kreutzers, or three cents apiece, dinners that cost oight cents, < and suppers that came to four cents for 1 each one. Bein? a graduate of an American 1 college, his tuition fees at tho University were 1 ten dollars the half year. He travelled over i Germany in the disguise of* a tradesman's ap- ( {>rentice, which secured him a good fare at the sweat possible cost. Three times he was re- j duced to nearly his last sou, and three times i he vras saved by remittances from newspapers, i to which he had sent contributions. One I morning be found himself on the Point Neuf, 1 in Paris, when be bad not a centime to ?less 4 himself with, ondhad ?aten nothing the day bc- ? fore, and was saved from suicide only bv fall- ? ingin with an unfortunate girl who had reached i the spot intent upon her own destraction. He i made the tour triumphantly, and now he is at r home. / -? ?. - .. ? t THE CLOTH IN WALL-STBEBT.-A New York 3 correspondent makes this straoge revelation: r "Ber. Luther G. Bingham has been arrested p for buying geld and paying for it with a ?heck, ? when he had no money in the bask. There is 2 a great temptation for clergymen of small means to eke ont a livelihood by dabbling in r stocks. The fact that a few men have turned w thia to good acoonnt hos iodaQed others to try tl -their hand m tho same One of our clergymen gave a princely wedding to his S daughter, he having made a quarter of a mil- R ' hon in successful stock operations io the R street. Another city clergyman, who drives one of the fastest teams 01 S the road, has been equally successful, g though three yean: ago bis credit was low enough. A?lnred by such example volant s dtv postor has left his charge for Wall-street, . and his case ? now before ?i? Presbytery for " abandoning the rnlni&try. .Mr. Bingham has L folio wed his unwise example. He was early identified with the daily Fulton-street meet? ing. For many years he wrote reports of the G meeting for the Observer and Intelligencer. -j He abandoned his sacred exiling for srock ? speculation, and under strong temptation ne ~ finds. himself arrested by the Jaw,, and Lt the j age of seventy-eight years flings away the rep- j utatioc of a whele life." a -The official reports of the Austrian staff on the campaign of 1866, of which another vol time bas just been. issued, show conclusively that Field Marshal Benedek was utterly guilt? less of the disasters which befell the Austrian army in July, 1866. The reports coutain no less than fifteen telegrams in which the field marshal implored the Emperor Francis Jos eph, during th 3 last three days prior te the battle of Sadowa, to make peace with Prussia. The last of these telegrams, dated July 2, sounds truly pathetic: "Betreat is impossible now. If tha Prussians attack mo to-morrow, catastrophe is inevitable. Cannot conquer with this army and this staff. Make peace, Maj ert ty, immediately !" Francis Joseph telcgrcp! ? ed that he could not muke peace, and that Ben? edek must n>ht. Sinco the facts have become generally kuown, there is much surprise that the Emporor should not bave vindicated Bene dek's sagacity, but allowed him to bc rovilcd so long as a military humbug. Benedek him self is a confirmed hypochondriac, and fears have been entertained for some time past, by his intimate friends, that be may commit sui? cide iu a fit of despondency. (?mmrrri?l.
