' ' r A Twilight Reverie. The ore io "trie west boras low; A fading gleam ol light. Only remains o? the crimson glow That made hair heaven so bright; And ? ?ie weary day in her shroud or gray, signs oat her life on the breast of night. The fire on my hearth burns low; Beside Its glimmering light, I dream of that sunset long ago, When all my heaven seemed bright. Bnt since that day, with each sunset ray. r ve longed to die in the gloom or nignt. The fire or my ure burns, low ; And through the darkening night, Strange shadowy shapes flit to and iro, Awaiting my spirit's; flight. And these shadowy things shew glistening wings, To bear me aw^y erejthe morning light THE SI FAL OF NIAGARA. Tlie Great Cataran tn South America IV??rly Eight Hundred Feet Fall ' A Column of Snow White Foam. Mr. Richard Brown writes to the London Times, on the 2 o th ult: In the month of April iast, a waterfall of most unusual height was discovered on the Po tora, a tributary ol the Essequebo River, by Mr. C. B. Brown, of the Geological Survey ol British Guiana. Being shorter provisions, and a groat distance from his boats. Mr. Brown was cot able to devote more than a couple of hours to the examination.ot the falls, which, bj hasty barometrical observation, be found to be nearly nine hundred feet In height, the breadth of the river at the top of the falls being one hundred yards, and its depth fif? teen leeu On his return to Georgetown, in cons?quence o? the strong desire expressed by the community that a careful surrey should be made of the falls without delay, Mr. Brown was Instructed by the Governor to proceed at once to the falls for that purpose, accompa? nied by ; Slr G. Young, Mr. Charles Mitchell apdMr.'Klng. The result-of their Journey ls embodied In the Inclosed article, published in a- Demerara paper ol the 3d Instant, which perhaps you will'deem of sufficient interest to Insert in the columns of your widely-circulated journal. Sir George Young gives the following detail? ed description of the cataract to a Georgetown paper: - ^?lt?ih^gn i ?? anxious that Mr. Brown, as a discover ot the Great Kaietenr Fall, and the director to the successful expedition ?hieb we were permitted to accompany, should have 11IC telrrng of bia own.story, yet I can understand that rda friends in Georgetown will be anxious to hear at once of bis success. The fall has a clear descent, according to barometrical ob? servations taken simultaneously by Mr. Brown at the bottom, and by my collette, Mr, Mitch? ell, at tho tap, ot 750 feet. Above, the Potaro ?Uder smoothly in a slight depression of the ta .olo hi conglomerate sandstone, and disappears over the edge In a body which we estimated at eighty vards in width, and of depth uncer? tain in the centre, but shallowing rapidly toward either bank. When Mr. Brown dis? covered i he fall in April, tbe rocky channel waa completely covered, and the stream must haye han a width ol at least one hundred yards. At presentlt ls diminishing in volume, and. as the Indians assured us, will continue to- do BO till October, when only the central ?md deeper portion, about one-third ol the whole, will remain. The best time, therefore, for a visit io in soring, at the end ol what ap? uesta to be the rainy season of this elevated tract. Aa we saw thc fall I cannot imagine any? thing mere beantiral. The central "portion, which" ia never diy, forms a small horseshoe or i'C-entaring angle! and the water in this part preserves ita consistency for a short distance from tho ledg \ Bat everywhere else, and hero riso, at a few lett from the top, all semblance of water disappears; it breaks np, or. blossoms into>tUie toiin or spray, which descends in the well-known rocket-like forms of the Staubbacb and similar waterfalls, but multiplied a thou? sand. Mmes, m to a small dark pool, over a Bemi-etrcular curtain of precipice deeply hol? lowed by tbe action of the spray. Tbe cavern b?ihmd ?be fall is tbe borne of thousands of avranows, which issue from it in the morning, and may be seen returning in their multitudes at. night. . The fall itself is one vast descending column of a fine dry looking, snow-white sub? ?tan ce, bearing aresemblacein color and consis? tency to tbe anow of an avalanche, but surpass? ing all avalanches I bave ee. n in size and in the beauty of the forms taken by tbe material of tte tul. Bainbowe of great splendor were ob Birved, one from tbe front of tbe fall in tbe ir. orn mg, one from tbe summit io tbe after? noon; buc this last reverted, forming a colored loop or xisg. into which tbe whole mass Beam? ed to precipitate itself and disappear, and dart oat underneath, black and foaming, at the gorge and outlet of the pool. .Un carefully workiog ont the mean result of Ave separate observations taken simultane-, ouely at the top and bottom of the fall, Mr. Brown found that they gave the total heieht of tbe perpendicnl r fall and cataract as 817ieet The depth of tbe cataract waa subsequently token at tbe edge of the pool on tbe western side; by aneroid barometer (itbsing impossi? ble to carry a large barometer to tbe f jot of .'.be tali,) and found to be 81 feet, making the 1. sight of tbe perpendicular fall 736 feet The width of the river 200 yards above the fail was 134 yards, and the greatest depth 15 feet 2 jaches, .5 feet lees than at high water. NEW TOME'S MAN MILLINER. The Mysteries of Women's Dress-Lao. reis Pinched from the Brows of the Parisian .Modiste?. .Itma.7 not bc generally known that lhere axe half a dozen dressmaking establishments In. New York where the sewing upon dresses is .almost entirely performed by men, although they, are not visible to the ladies who call to give their orders. Three doors west o? Broadway, on Ninth street, ie the flourishing establishment of ntaordressmaker and costume designer, Mon sieur Moschcowitz, a young Hungarian. His place is elegantly furnished, and on your arri? vai Misa Russ eil, an American, and the junior partner In the house, receives you and takes ?our orders, or gives you information, er j few dresses are to be seen; none are on exhibition. But those that are in the makers' hands are executed In a. style equal to Worth's own designs, for Moschcowitz was a pupil of that world renowned man-milliner, and bis lather also followed tbe business at Wurtemberg. The second arid third floors are the workrooms of the operatives who execute Mooch cow liz's de? signs. - They are all burly, strong men, Ger? mana,; Prussians, Poles and Hungarinos. They Ei: on stools, not chairs, and their scissors, thread, wax and other appliances are deposit? ed on the floor by their sides. They work by the piece, and'earn from $20 to $30 dollars a week. Only the basting is done by band; tbe sewing machin?e, of which they have a variety in one room, work the seams. Each maa bastes bis dress and prepares lt for fitting; and, when fitted, finishes il with raplditv at all points. Where women are employed, two dozen are often found upon a dress, working pl?ce-meal at Ifs several parts. Women, from want ol training, ara rarely perfect In the trade.'.' Some will excel In one or two depart? ments and be deficient in others. * . - * The prices obtained by the mee for making a dress .vary with the material. A figured or? gandie was shown, completely finished in eve? ry way In a day and a quarter, with hems, bands, trimming of waist and drapery, high in the neck, with bretelles over the bosom, and bows, Ac. The price was $50. The price paid to the maker, independently of the cutting and sewing-machine work, was $8 50. He was a grim, grizzly old fr "ow of sixty. For a plain Bilk dress a man .?ceives $7, and for one trimmed from $15 to $28, according to the work upon it. The work, when finished, has a most elegant and artistic precision, being superior in appearance. The piping ls made by an ingenious machine invented by Mosch? cowitz, as an attachment to the sewing ma? chine. - une ls shown attached to a Wilcox A Gibbs.'? single-thread machine, but it is said to work Just ap well on the double-stitchers. Another Invention of Moschcowitz"?, the friz? zling machine, also ls seen. It pays out the blas edee ot a piece of silk, and at the same time Picures it by a stitch from further ravel? ling. Tiiis ls also a sewing machine attach? ment. Both inventions have been patented. Moschcowitz ls known all over the United States by tho leaders el lashlon, and som? ol his costumes have gone to turope In the out? fits or the wives of ministers and attaches to foreign eonrts.

GLORIOUS CHANGE That any sic! man surv-.vei; the treatment o? fifty years ago, mest be considered aprooi tbat teman beings axe very bard to kilt The lancet, calomel, cantbarldeB and drastic pur? gatives were then the order of the day. The phy? sician played mto the hands or the apothecary, and the unio-tunate patient was drenched morn? ing, noon and night with prostrating medicines. We live in a more rational and conscientious era. The importance of supporting Nature in its conflict with disease ls now understood. Complaints in themselves weakening are no longer aggravated by artificial depletion. They are met with TONICS that rally the vita: powers and enab'e them to de? feat the enemy. Chief among these allies of Na? ture, in its battles with sickness, is PLANTATION BITTERS. Tbl B wonderful vegetable restorative is the Bheew anchor ol the feeble and debilitated. As a cordial for the aged and decrepid it has no equal among stomachics. As a remedy for the nervous weakness to which tte tender ses are especially shbject, lt ls superseding every other stimulant and nervine, in all climates, tropical, temperate or frigid, lt acts as a specific in every species of disorder which undermines the boufly strength and breaks down the animal spirits. Wherever lt is introduced li becomes a standard article -a medicinal staple. Druggists, although their profit upon lt ls small, find lt absolutely necessary to keep* preparation for which everybody inquires, and for which nobody will accept a substitute, lt is to-day the most popular medicine m the civilized world.' Extensively as it is advertised, its best ad? vertisement ls the beneficial result which uniformly follows its use. Every bottle sold in? sures the sale of at jeasx half a dozen more. Un? like other stimulants, it braces and fortifies the system without exciting undue cerebral action, The cheering effect which it produces upon the mind is not momentary, bat permanent. There ls no subsequent depression. It does not, ae is the case with all other stimuli beget a cm mg for ex? citants. On the other hand, *t soothes and cains the Dew es, com Dining st range as the anomaly may seem, thequalities of a sedative and gentle ano? dyne with those o? a tonic ao? lo vigoran t. The perfect purity or all its ingredients, their admirable adaptation to the purposes they are intended to subserve, the jnoicloas pro portons in walch they are com tin erl, and the scientific skin with which they are blend? ed, render this famous articie at once the most potent and the most harmless or ail known j tonics and alteratives.
