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. Our escapes have been as
j broad as they were narrow.

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?.
