[Original. An Old Maid. Lonelv she ?itu by ber cold hearth-stone, Mourning her hopes forever gone; j Hopes that showered their rose? bright. , billing her path with amoral light. Once, with her glory of golden curls. Soe stood the fairest of fair girls; Now her hair shows where Woe has been, \ .Sprinkling it o'er with hts silver sheen. Once her cheek wore thc lovely d\e Of tho blushing pink of a .osy sky; Now pallid and wan, as if washed with tears, lt shows the trace more of grief than year*. She thinks of the past with a weary sigh. How swiftly the hours used to fly, When lovers flocking around her came. To worship her beauty, to ehaunt her name. Swift the incense of praise from the censor swung. Soft the silvery acceuts tripped from the tongue; Whilst she, the Queen <>f Love's realm, so fair, Mocked at her subjects kneeling thore; ? How some went oft' in their sore dist ret M. Vowed to a life of loneliness; While others, chained to her triumph car. Were dragged by her on to tho years afar, Only to meet the crushing fate Of the heart that loves, yet is desolate. No pity breathed in her mocking word. That fell like stone on tho heart it stirred. When fond hearts bent to the charmer's charm. She smiled, and said. "1 have don? no harm, Tia right 1 should lill Love's golden cup, And drink to the dregs the nectar up." Thus vears flew nv, and when youth was fled, When life's crimson garland lay withered, dead, Aud lovers no longer around her came, She breathed to herself one cherished run ne. Too late ! too late I a raven-haired bride Nestled lovingly close to his aide; And the love long tried, that seemed so true. Shrank at last from the old, and embraced the new. Ah ! life might have been auch a glorious thing, Spent 'neath the warmth of a sheltering wing. With rosy-lipped darlings tokiaa tho cheek, With tender voices sweet love to speak. But now-ah, me I what a sorrowful close To the morn that so proudly, so brightly rose; How the phantoms of memory, gliding by, Bring grief to the heart and tears to the eye; And alie weepa o'er the grave where her hopea are laid, ? As she sits in hm el silence, a sad old maid. E. B. C. K cm ark ab le Eicapet of Eminent Nan. Some years ago, a young man, holding a subordinate position in the East Indian Company's service, twice attempted to deprive himself of life by snapping a loaded pistol at his head. Each time the pistol missed fire. A friend entering his room shortly afterward, he requested him to tire it out of the window; it then went off without uny difficulty. Sa? tisfied thus that the weapon had been ?Inly primed and loaded, the young man sprang np, exclaiming: "I must be reserved for something great, "and from that moment gave up the idea of suicide, which for some time had been uppermost in his thoughts. That young man afterward became Lord Cliva Two brothers were, on o.ie occasion, walking together, when a violent storm of thunder and lightning over? took them. One was struck dead on the spot, the other was spared, else would the name of the great reformer, Martin Luther, have been unknown to mankind. The Holy St 'Augustine having to preach in a distant town, took with liim a guide, who by some unaccount? able means mistook the usual road and fell into a by-path. He after? wards discovered that his enemies, having heard of his movements, had placed themselves in the proper road with the design of murdering him. Bacor, the sculptor, when a tender boy of live years, fell into the pit of si soap-boiler, and must have perished, bad not a workman, just entering the yard, observed the top of his hoad und delivered him. When Oliver Cromwell was an iu tunt, a monkey snatched him from his cradle, leaped with Lim through u garret window, and ran along the leads of the house. The utmost alarm was excited among the inmates, and various were the devices used to rosene the child from the guardian? ship of his newly found protector. All were unavailing; his would-be rescuers lost courage, and were in de spair of ever seeing the baby alive again, when the monkev quietly re? traced his steps and deposited his burden safely on the bed. On a sub? sequent occasion, the waters had well nigh quenched his unsatiable ambi? tion. He fell into a deep pond, from drowning iu which a clergyman, named Johnson, was the soif? instru? ment of his rescue. At the seige of Leister, a young soldier, about seventeen years of age, was drawn out for sentry duty. One of his comrades w?us very anxious to take his place. No objection waa made, and this man went. He was shot dead while on guard. The young man first, drawn afterward became the author of the "Pilgrim's Pro? gress." Doddridge, when bom, was so weakly an infant it was believed to be dead. A nurse standing by, fancied she saw some signs of vitality. Thus the feeble spark of life was saved from being extinguished, and an emi? nent author and consistent Christian preserved to the world. John Wesley, when a child, was only just, preserved from fire. Almost the moment after he was rescued, the roof of the house ^horo he hail been fell in. Of Philip Henry, a similar instance is recorded. William Lloyd Garrison fell into a tanner's vat at a very early age, and would have been drowned but for Mr. Lant. of Boston, who pulled him out ia time to save bis lifo, but not nhtil bo iras pretty well tanned; awl this accident very possibly gave color? ing to his subseqnent course of lifo. Timon experienced several narrow escapes from drowning, which gives rise to a suspicion that lie was not born for such a fate, hut reserved for something higher. John Knox, the renowned Scottish i reformer, wet always wont to sit at the head of the table, with hi? back to the window. On one particular | evening, without, however, l>eing j able to account for it, he would, neither himself sit in the chair nor j permit any one else to occupy his place. That very night, a bullet was shot in at the window purposely to kill him; it grazed the chair in which I lie sat, and made a hole in thc foot of | a candlestick on the table. Many years have now elapsed since three subalterns might have been seen ? Juggling in the water off St. Helena-one of them, peculiarly help? less, was fast succumbing. He was saved to life as Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington. The life of John Newton is but the history of a series of marvelous de? liverances. As a youth, ho had agreed to accompany sonie friends on hoard a man-of-war. He arrived too late; the boat in which his friends had gone was capsized, and all its occu? pants drowned. On another occasion, when the tide surveyor in the port of Liverpool, some business lind de? tained him, so that he came to his boat much later than usual, to the irveat surprise of those who were in the habit of observing his then unde? viating punctuality. He went out in the boat as heretofore to iuspect a ship, which blew up before he reached her. Had he left the shore a few minutes sooner, he must have i>e ri8hed with the rest on board. Evelyn was sauntering one day along a meadow near Says Court, when he looked in at the window of a thatched cottage, and saw a young man carving one of Tintoretto's car? toons. He entered, admired the work, and soon recommended the artist to Charles LL Thus the name of Gibbins became known. Milton sees a wretched "mystery" in Italy, and conceived the plan of * 'Paradise Lost." The plague breaks out in London; he retires to Chalfont, and the simple question of a (Juaker friend calls forth "Paradise Regain? ed." Gibbon muses among the ruins of Roman grandeur; and the decline and fall of the mighty Empire breaks in long perspective on his view. A Wesli harper thrills the chords at Cambridge, and Gray, fired with sudden emotion, writes the con? clusion of the "Bard." Lady Austen points to a sofa, and Cowper creates the "Task." The history of nations, as of indi? viduals, hangs on threads. Robert Bruce was about to join a crusade, when a spider, struggling to lix his web to the ceiling, gave him a lesson in perseverance, and remaining in his own land, he routed the army of Edward II, at Bannockburn, and achieved the independence of thc Scottish crown. Cromwell was about to set sail for America, and clear forests with his axe, when a royal edict forbade emigration in unli? censed ships. Had Tie embarked the day before, he would never have been Lord Protector, nor Charles Stuart j have laid his head on the block. I The fleet of William of Orange had j been driven Westward to Torbay, j To return in the teeth of the w ind , was impossible, and Plymouth, th? i next port, was garrisoned by Lord ; Hath. The royal fleet was out of i the Thames, and hastening down the j channel. "You may go t^i prayers, ! doctor," said Russell to Burnot: "all ; is over." But it was not so. A soft breeze sprung up from the South, j and the sun ?hone forth. The fleet \ turned hack, William landed, and the ; Stuart dynasty ceased to reign. We recollect that we had several narrow esea]>es ourselves in child? hood. We once got choked ou a fish-bone till we were black in the face; and, on another occasion, we \ tumbled into a pond of water, but j wore fibbed out all right, which gave \ rise to the idea that wt: were not born to be drowned, any more than we were to be choked to death by a flsh I bone. At the age of twelve, we put our right list into our left nostril, ' and it was with the utmost difficulty ! we extricated ourself from this di? lemma.

DAILY, SEMI-WEEKLY ANO WEEKLY. - TO THE Pl ll Ll C. THE NEW YORK NEWS lia? battled against, despotism for lour yearn ol blood and terror, in assertion of tue satic t itv of the Constitution. A patriotism suf? ficiently broad to embrace both sections lias been its only guide, and it refer? now with honest pride to its record to show ( that it has not turned to the right or the loft under all the violence of arbitrary I power. True to its principles au THE. < NEWS baK been through the reign of ter j ror, it challenges public confidence in its I honesty and independence for the future. The political transition of the present dav opens to THK NEWS a new and wider Hold of usefulness. Standing now, as it always has, on the inviolability of the Constitution, according to the interpreta? tion of the strict constructionists, it pre? sents a rallying ground for all, in both sec? tions, who are friends of a generous con? servatism. As a true and tried expon.-nt of sectional amity, it occupies a position which makes it the titting mediator in h .ding np to the party ot order in both sections, interests ami principles that gave breadth and vitality to their alliance. As an iutersectional agent, devoted to free? dom of election, to trial by jury, to the sanctity of the habeas corpus, and opposed now, aa for four years of terror it has been, to the centralization that dares to trample on the rights of States, North or South. THE NEWS places itself a? a candidat e for support before thc great body of this once free people. The circumstances of the moment make the dissemination of the principles of THi NEWS a linty of individual patriotism. Every man who concurs in its doctrine must, if he entertain a true sense of free? dom, do so in no spirit of indifference, but rather v> th the earnestness of a high trust. Justified-nay, bound-in hisloveof lil>ei - ty. to do so, the proprietor places the can? vass he makes here of the public generally in the hands of those men who give him the approval of their consciences as his in - d vidual agents. Every reader of THK NEWS cannot avoid the conviction of duty which is here pointed out as the ground of the request, that he urges it? claims for a wider support upon all of his friends and neighbors tv ho give their earnest sympa? thies to the cause of "strict construction.'" iutersectional conciliation, and all the rights of the citizens under the ?y?tem, set up bv our fathers, of lilnrtv regulated by law." The proprietor of THE NEWS calls, therefore, upon good and brue con? servatives throughout the country to dis? charge to their convictions of political right at this great crisis in the country's fortunes, tin- duty of giving to the influ? ence of his paper -daily. ?emi-weekly or weekly- the wider power for good which it se-ks here through the service ol' its indi? vidual s ipporter?.
