Tile Two Cities. BY T. B. ALDBICH. 'Twas dusk, und from my window Upon the street below, ] ?aw che people passftg, Like shadows, to and fro. And faintly. wr< faintly, I beard thc ceasing- din; , * , And like thc du>k without me, There was a dusk wiifciu. And thoughts, with eager footsteps, Dun thoughts of joy and pain, 1'illed tht- streets and by-ways of Thc City of'my Brain. -, A passing light and holy. Like that which softly falls Through open gates in cloudlets "Upoii cathedral flails, .Fell down upon the towers of Thc City of my Mind; My inner sight, grew clearer. My outward vision blind. Forgotten was the window, Titerc seemed no street below: I did net see thom passing, T!rv shadows,'to'and fro! A S<u THEKX CANDIDATE'S GARD.* The following announcement of a candidate wa^found posted on a tree by the roadside ana brought to the editor fit thc; Jackson Miss?stpj?an, who gave &#i gratuitous publication: fi Attention, Sovereigns!-Allow mo through this medium to introduce myself to your acquaintance as a candidate for Assessor of Tuxes of Hind? donnty. If any one should be so inquisitive tis to ask why a man of my gigantic intellect should ?y so low, my answer is tinstone Feds, in ?lay, 1864, deprived nv of my left vingi tliereforo vaulting ambition .mst stoop her flight toa level with ?iv capability. Again, should any' . .ne wish to know why I do not have >a?nt?3 h?ls, I would civilly repjy ^ Lat my pocket-book would laugh for a week ut the rustle of a greenback, and would ne*er survive t?ie faintest clink of metallic currency. "I would like very much to call on thc dear people, and talk to them face to face: but to effect thia, "my little school would have to close, and with it my bread and butter. "Under these circumstances, I hope to bo excusable. ' m "With high regard, I am yours to command. "J. B. HUGHES." Ax ExiorrKG COUPLE PURSUED SEVEN THOUSAND MII.ES.-Capt. Stansbury, late of the St. Louis police force, returned Tuesday evening, having caught, in the city of Quebec, a run? away girl, who eloped with a man from her motlier, ii: Cincinnati, some two months since. The girl ?was *safely returned to her mother bv thc Captain, w ho was amply rewarded for his trouble. The Captain infoAis us that he has traveled over seven thousand miles in pursuit of the fair maid. He said it cost him at least twfl thousand miles of rail and water travel more titan was necessary, owing, to the fact that the elopement wits? prematurely published in the St. Louis papers. The young lady got wind that ?he Captain w:*.s in pursuit while she was "in Buffalo, and then j commenced a race unparalleled in police aimais. The Captain chased ber all over the 2iew England States, when he found that the fair fugitive had taken the Canada route. She was . then followed to Boonshire Falls, in Canada West; thence to Toronto, By town. Trios . Rivers and Montreal, Thc I ?antaiii got off the scent of the fugitives on tue Grand River, owing ?ti) the fact that they left the main lines of travel i>.nd took to a, raft, de? scending tile river two hundred and fifty miles. At Montreal, the girl's paramour getting tired out, tho latter was left behind, when the girl steam? ed down to Quebec, where she was caught by her persevering pursuer. The girl-who, according to thc Captain's statement, Vi? the prettiest he ever laid his eyes on"-delivered herself up gracefully, and was return? ed to Cincinnati, to sin no more, it is to be hoped. This was her second elopement, she having tried tye ex? periment once before, and waa cap? tured at the Planter's House, in this city, in company with a gambler, by tile same officer who re-captured her the second time. ^ [St. Louis Democrat, Sept. 21. Ernest. Renan, the author of tho Life of Christ, will return to Paris from the East toward the end of 'this month. In appearance fie is of re? pulsive homeliness, but tho extraor? dinary success of his work, and his great attainments, together with his high refinement and fine social tact, make him a welcome guest in the best V?reles of Paris. His new work on die Apostles, the result, of his recent pilgrimage to Apostolic cradles in \sia Minor, will appear soon after his arrival, and ?ill probably excite much attention. ' Durang his travels in the East, he was lionised not only by French and English officials, but also Mohammedans, who respect nobody more than scholars like Kenan, who with the " erudition of the theologian blend the genius of the poet. The Greek clergy st?pod almoft alone in their opposition to Kenan's cordial treception at ,A thens, when, upon tire king and his Danish prime minister offering a most distinguisheft recep? tion to the French savant, the Greek patriarch protested against it with the greatest solemnity, denouncing ?jJBe non** visit.to Athens as. fatal to. the Greek church as the- visitation of Lucifer himself. THE*HOM LAND.-There is au in? teresting movement now being mada in England for the more thorough survey and exploration of Palestine. Ages of civilization lie "buried beneath "the holy city," which no proper effort lias yeWbee?i mado to. excavate; am* the same may bo said of a large portion of the land East of tho River Jordan. These most interesting regions are filled with mounds, which, when fully opened, will? doubtless contribute largely to compl?te or il? lustrate the long- and varied history of the Jewish people. Enough has already been brought to light to show the importance of such excavations. The expedition now on foot will be a purely scientific and nre*h;elogieal one; and it is supported by the Ar chi shop of York, the Bishop of London, 1 and Lords Russell and Derby, with the patronage of the Queen. It ^ill bo carried on by men whose tastes and studies have peculiarly fitted them for the work; and ?he result must not only be a^gr?at service i to the history of civilization and art, but the reflection of much valuable, bght upon Holy Scriptures. ? -;_? ??- ?

The termination of a sar quinary contest, frhich for the past four years h a# presen fed an impassable barrier to all social er com limrc.ial intercourse between the two great sections of our coan try, having at length kap^ily cleared away all obstacles to a re n.oval of those relation? which formerly bound us together in a fraternal union, J Vako t'n*) earliest opportunity afforded mo by this auspicious event, to greet my South? am friends, and to solicit from .them a re? newal of that extensivo business connection ??ich for a quarter of * eentary aaa been uninterrupted, save br the great public calamity to which I bare ndv?rte'd. It is scarcely necessary, on'the threshold of a business re-union, I should repeat the ?r.irning so of?en given to my friends-to beware of all those spurious and deleteri? ous eom^.-uods which, ander the specious and- false thies of Imported "Wines, ^ran? dies, Holland Gin, Liquors, ?e., have been equally destructiva A th? health of oar citizens ns prejudicial to the interests of Hi? legitimate importer.

' Twenty-fiTc yeArs'business transactions j with the Inrgest and most respectable ex? porting house? in'France and Great Britain I li?rc afforded mr unsurpassed facilities for ? supplying our ?ionic market with Wines, i Liquors and Liqucfes o.f the be#t and most . approved brands in Europe, in addition tc^ { my own distillery in Holland for the manu [ facture of the '-Schiedam Schnapps."

I would, however, recommend, in all caaes where it in possible, that orders be sent direct to my Depot, 22 beaver street. New York, or that purchases be made of my accredited agents. In addition te a large stoek of Wines, Brandies, Ac. ifi wood, I have a consider? able supply of old tried foreign Wines, em? bracing vintages of many past years, bot? tled up before the commencement of the war, which 1 ?Jin especially recommend to all connoisseurs of these mr? luxuries. In conclusion, I would specially call the attention of my Southern customers to the advantage to be derived .y transmitting their orders without loss of ; .ie, or calling personally at the Depot, In order to insure the fulfillment of their favors from the pre ' sent large and well aelactod assortment.
