And earth seems to revel in beauty and light, When the singing of birds, and the humming of bees, Make a musical world of tho dewdaden trees. I weep for my lost one then. I mourn that she sleeps in the dark cold ground, Shut out from the beauty bo lavished around, That wild flowers bloom, and the long willows wave, In silence* a?d sadness, o'er Tmmogene's grave. I weep for 1113- lost one then. I think of my child when the silvery moon Sheds loveliness lutlicr, sweeter, than noon, And I think of her too in the still, dark night, The star-studded sky may not gladden her sight. I weep for 103* lost one then. I touch my loved harp, but il.s strings no more Aro timed to the gladness they breathed of yore; A white-robed spirit seems hovering near To sadden (lie notes, and a heart-wrung tear Is shed for my lost one then. I think of my child when a har.-h world's blame Would sully the whiteness of woman's name, When slander is blighting with pois, nous breath, I triumph to think that she sleeps in death, Nor weep for r.iy loit one then. When a pale wifc^shrinks from a wine-flushed face, And a tyrant reigns in a husband's place? And when cruel injustice with iron tread Has trampled a spirit, and whitened a head. Can I weep for my lost one then ? I think of my child when the wind blows high' And the lightning flash from an ungry sky, "When the wav?s of trouble come bounding on, I triumph to think that my darling's gone. Nor weep for my lost one then. Oh, I drenm that she's one of an angel hand, And I'll meet her ngain in the spirit land? That she is not lost, only gone before, And try to believe that I grieve no more. But I weep for my lost one then CoLVMbu, April 1, 1855. MISCELLANY ~~ How They Started. The New York correspondent of the Charleston Courier gives some interesting particulars in regard to the rich men ot New York. It will bo seen that many of them have built their own fortunes from tlio 6tump. We like to chronicle such insfan cefi. Let the poor never despair. As Mr. Brigut, of Tennessee, beautifully and truthfully remarked, they are uborn with as much brain and muscles as the rich "I referred to the biography of the wealthy citizens of New York at the time it ' was serially appearing. It has been made into a readable, 1>ut not very reliable book. In it 314 are put down at 100,000; 205 have attained the rank of 150,000; 159 enjoy the distinction of 200,000; 79 have risen to the height of 250,000; 75 have reached the grade of 300,000; 18 have the rare felicity of 350.0001 37 b flUA ronn commoner glories of 400,000; 3 individuals only Lave paused at 450,000, while 73 have pressed forward to the grandeurs of 600,000 ; 24 have proceeded to 600,000; 6 to 700,000; 25 to 800,000; 10 have attained the giddy height of 1,000,000; 5 have gone onto 1,500,000; 6 to 2,000,000; 1 to 5,000,000; 6 to 2,000,000; 1 to 3,000)000 2 to 4,000,000 ; 1 to 5,000,000; 1 stands solitary and alone, on the ?inacle of 6,000,000 dollars. "William B. Astor is our richest man; he inherited his wealth. Stephen Whitney, five millions, owes his fortune tn Rnppnln. tions in cotton and tlie rise in veal estate, W. H.

William Niblo, it appears, has over four hundred thousand dollars; and Dr. Mott, two hundred thousand. Barnutn is put down at eight hundred thousand, Bennett at one hundred and fifty thousand. But perhaps the most remarkable statement of all is that Mrs. Okill, of this city, has made a quarter of a million dollars by keeping school." Congressional Morality. Wo were infinitely amused three or four weeks ajjo by a practical joke in \\ ashinjjton City upon a number of the nice men of Congress. It was too good to be left unpublished. A couple of merry fellows, one of them a distinguished member of Congress from a Southern State, and the other a distinguished ex-editor from Kentucky, concocted a letter purporting to be addressed by a young lady to a very fine looking gentleman. It was got up in first-rate style. The pretended young lady set forth therein that she had several times seen the gentleman she was addressing, that she was captivated by his fine face and manly form, that her heart was deeply touched by all she saw and heard of him, that she must make his acquaintance before his departure from the city, that she hoped and prayed ho would r ; t i__iv " - . uirgive ucr seeming noiuness as u was tlie first imprudent act. of her life, that she had always moved and was still moving in the highest circle of the Capital, that she would he upon a certain square of a certain street at precisely 12 o'clock on the following day in a dress which she described with great particularity, and that she hoped ami trusted lie would meet her and thus afford her an opportunity of a brief personal intercourse with the idol of her heart. The two wags had between thirty and forty copies of this letter written by a female friend of theirs, and they sent these copies to between thirty and forty members of Congress, selecting those of course who were known to entertain a very exalted opinion of their own per sonal fascinations. Everything being thus arranged, the two jokers called upon us and another young gentleman, explained what they bad done, and invited us to get into their carriage, ride with them to the point of assignation, and see the sights. We unhesitatingly consented, and we saw sights sure enough. Hiding upon the designated square, we beheld the whole of the tliirty or forty members, Northern men and Southern men, Whigs, Demoera!?, and Know-Nothings, walking to and fro, all gazing earnestly in every direction and at every female figure to discover the object of their anxious search. We concluded, that if a few more copies of the letter had been sent, to members of the House of Representatives, the IIou.mj would have had to adjourn fur the want ol a quorum.?Louisville Journal. KEMARKAJ1LE l'ltOI'IIECY. TIlO following remarkable prediction was made by Friar Bacon, who was born in the year 1214, ' some G40 years ago. "Here,11 says a certain writer, "is poetry and philosophy wound together, forming a wondrous chain of prophecy :" "Bridges unsupported by arches will be made to span the foaming current. Men shall descend to the bottom of the ocean, safely breathing, treading with a firm stop on the golden sands, never brightened by the light of day. Call but the secret powers of Sol and Luna in action, and behold :i smgie sieersman sitting at tlic helm guiding the vessel which divides the waves with greater rapidity than if she had been filled with a crew of mariners toiling at the oars; and the loaded chariot, no loger encumbered by the panting steeds, shall dart on its course with resistless force and rapidity. Let the simple elements do thy labor ; bind the eternal clemeuts and yoke , them to the same plough." , Evil Company. The following beautiful allegory is translated from the German. Sophronius, a wise teacher, would not suffer even his grown up sons and daughters to associate with those ' whoso conduct was not pure and upright. "JL?ear tatlier," said the gentle Eulalia to him one day, when he forbade her, in company ! with her brother, to visit the volatile Lucinda i ?"dear father, you must think me very childish, if you imagine that we should he exposed to danger by it." The father took > in silence a dead coal from tho hearth, and reached it to his daughter. -"It will not 1 burn you, my child ; take it." Eulalia did > so, and behold, her beautiful white hands was ! soiled and blackened, and, as it chanced, 1 her white dress also. "We cannot be too > carcful in handling coals," ' said Eulalia, in vexation. "Yes, truly,"'said tho father, you Bee, my child, that coals, even if they do not burn, blacken ; so it is with the company I of the vicious." > W/im - n ? w nuapsr in .Business. In the first place raako op your mind to ? accomplish whatever you undertake; de? cide upon some particular cmyloyment aud , preserve it. All difficulties aro overcomo ) by diligence and assiduity. ; Be not afraid to work with your own hands, and diligently, too. WA cat in glove9 . catches no mice." ? Attend to your own business, and never trust it to another. "A pot that belongs to I many is ill stirred and worse boiled." Be frugal. "That which will not make ' a pot will make a pot lid."
