IIohseback Riding.?N. P. Willi*, in
one of his "Invalid Letters," thus speaks of
the therapeutic virtues of horseback riding ;
It was a secret which I did not discover

py uooks ; lliai exercise, with the lops of a !
horse to do work, distributes tlie blood's
fullness and refreshness to the extremities ;
but tlmt exercise witli your own legs to do
the work draws the fullness and freshness
from the extremities to the centre. Life
and strength, that is to say, are centrifugal,
if you exercise on horseback?centripetal,
ifyou exercise on foot. To test this, you
have only to do the two things. But look
in the gla*s, when yon return from a ride in
the saddle, and you will see that the hollows
under your eyes are filled and freshened in
color, or that the incipient lines in your
face, (for I presume I am addressing a middle
aged,* charming woman.) have disnp- i
peared wholly, or become indistinct. Then
look in the glass on your return from a

And the rea-on given is "that the concentrated

it is nature's rallying law?of falling in '-recrHrting

LonD Napier, by his unostentatious politeness
and freedom from those foreign assumptions
obnoxious to republicans, is win
mug goHien opinions iroin all those who
liave business with liim. Yesteida)' the
following rather amusing incident transpired
:?Two gentlemen, from Texas, (one of
whom is well known in political circles, ami
the other more familiar with the music, of
nature than the etiquette of diplomacy,) cabled
at the embassy to get some patent documents
authenticated. Our rustic friend
and''his companion were introduced to n.y
Jord instead ofliis secretary as was expect-,
ed& >iuid, after the business was duly transacted
Lord Napier instituted a series of
interroffHtoriiiB ns tr> tlio

and agrivullurnl affairs of Texas. These
vrerfl duly responded to by the worthy but
unpolished applicant, in his off-hand manner,
interspeised with pome characteristic
jokes by w??y of a more perfect illustration.
The interview lasted upwards of half hour,
notwithstatftMng several attempts by the
visitors to depart; but his lordship at each
successive attempt would propound sorao
new question which caused another attention.
After having finally made their exit,
aU? ?.-4I
wib geimeman wno introduced them inquired
bo#-, they liked Lord Napier. Didn't
see him," replied M., "but his Secretary vm

ations came a thousand fold. In a twink- j*
ling, I was transformed from a quiet, sedate
young lady of twenty summers, into a
wild, merry child of six or seven. All along 0
the old school path from our own big gate ,

a race I had from Mr. Pollard's cows ; I
am sure, "I wished them in the buttom of ^
the red sea." But I did not forget to steal '
by the old plum thicket and tilling my "
pocket with the yellow and Rcarlet fruit,
jumped over Mr. Pollard's orchard fence '
which was "hard by," shook the trees
which were so heavy with red-ripe June ap
pies ; and after cramming my pockets,
sleeves (!) and apron willi them, got quick- j
ly into the path again, and 'started once
more on my-way to school. I looked up ^
at ttie suu and judging from it, and my

And what, I a^ in nil sincerity, has beome

Then it was, I heard a voice, as it wore, t
mil the clouds pay, "and wouldst thou i

p and there stood before me a young girl i
<?m tlie land of spirits. A while I stood *
nlrant-od wiili her garments of white, and i
er brow of dazzling light. I looked into t
lie soft blue ryes, saw her radiant smile; f
nd then I knew, that it was the spirit ?

I had been six years since she went to her i

The Shipping Interest.
Advantage has been taken of tho depres- 1
sed condition of the shipping trade with t
European ports, to strike a Wow at tlie i
commercial standing of houses interested in a
that department of commerce. Consider- t
ing that the attack was preceded by a long Ii
bombardment of the Railroad interest, and s
an unscrupulous assault upon the Dry Goods d
trade ,it is scarcely worth while to devote any v
serious attention to a refutation of the hust
calumny. That the vessels engage in freight- g
ing between this country and Europe have s
found the business unremunerative for several v
months, is unquestionably true, and it is also h
Irue that the same state of alfairs has fie- n
quently existed before, and yet in the natural t'
jourse of things the business has revived, p
?nd a few weeks of prosperity have made I
ll.n -.1- \\7- I -e

me vessel tliat cost one hundred and thirty- si
-*ight thousand dollars, and in two years and w
i half returned to her owners one hundred
md thirty-six thousand doll-ire of nett profit. t<
Another ship, and perhaps the largest afloat, "
cleared her entire cost while serving as a o
.ransport during the Russian war. Those I)wners
can surely afford to endure a few ei
nonf lis of "hard times."?There is no branch c
)f business that is stronger than the ship- si
>ing interest. The vessels are generally i*
?wned in fractions varying from quarters to p
hirty-seconds, and these shares are distribut- si
:d among capitalists, retired captains, sail- v
Tiakers, rope-makers, timber growers, and '?
arious others who, from experience or ob- ?
ervation, have confidence in the certain
>rofit resulting from that branch of comnerce,
for any term covering a period of five
,'ears. The merchant whose name is con- P
lected with the ship is uniformly the last "
o lose money by her, for his commissions 01
m the business of the vessel will frequently ''
sover the loss which his share?one-einht. e<
)erhaps?may be liable for. In many resK-cts
the chances of ihe ship owner resem- 81
>le those of tlie farmer who sometimes has '
>ne bad season, and occasionally even two a'
n succession, but whose business is never- w
heless sure, and whose profits for a term of u
rears certain. It is not true, however, that P
it the present time all ship-owners aro los- w
ng money. Vessels on long voyages are J'
generally doing well. Wo know of one
irm who control five ehips, and four of them ^
ire on voyages the proceeds of which will
imount to one hundred and seventy seven 'f
kousand seven hundred dollars. When '*

Walhalla.?This place, within the
imits, contains now a population of four
uindred or more ; and is rapidly increasng.
A few years hack it was only a grove ;
ind, if then, one had predicted that soon
here would ho a flourishing town built
lere he would have been regarded as inane.
But so it i?, and those who may
oubt can have their doubts removed by a
isit to our place.
Houses go up and are finished as by maic
; to-day, you see a pile of lumber in the
Lreets, to-morrow a house is raised, and ere
fe know, it is occupied. We have not
ad the opportunity to ascertain the exact
umber of stores, but it is not short of
welve, all of whom seem to have a good
atronage, and have good stocks of goods.
Iotels are well kept, of which there are
'Veral. and offer everv inducement fnr
ummer in good fare, pure air and cold
rater, witli cheap boardinp.
Two flourishing schools are within the
>wii, one under the charge of Mr. Craler?which
we have not yet visited?the
ther under the charge of the Rev. Mr.
tansemcr, being a thorough classical ao.admy,
in which the English, dead and modrn
languages are taught. We would purie
our notice further, but have been promied

Treasure Trove.?Mr. B<-nj. S. Dey, of
iurotuck County, North Carolina, while
lotighiug in his field, a few days ago, dug
p a pile of old Spanish gold and silver
oin to the amount of about six thousand
ollars. It is supposed to have been buri1
during the revolution?and the acci
ent that le?l to tlio discovery was most
ngnlar. It appears that an old pir tree
ad fallen near the fence of Mr. D.'s farm,
n<l one of the branches stuck?in tlio spot
here Lite money was found. As the tree
as an obstruction to tlio.se engaged in
longhing, it was raised from its position,
'lien it was discovered that tlio old branch
ad several pieces of tho coin sticking to
They then went to work and dug
own to the depth of about four feet, when
ley were startled by the discovery of this
irge amount of money. Every eve that
joked upon the shiners, we aie told, beanie
as big as moons ; and one of the neroes
who assisted in raising the tree on
jeing the money sticking to the limb, was
t amazed at the sight, lie hallowed out,
Why, Massn Dey, wlmt am dat?I woner
if he grow dar ? Well, well, dis am
e fns time I eber seed money growin on
he pine tree." A yoke of oxen was soon
itched to the treasure,and it was carried
> the house of Mr. L)., where it can now
e seen.
This we assure our readers is no hoax ;
nd it in'her gives credence to tho tradion
that there was money deposited on

Imitation of Phecioi'9 Stones.?A
ew era is about to commence in the world
'ith regard to the vnlue of precious stones.
,t a late meeting of the French Academy
f Science, M. Gaudin who has experimenjd
for twenty years on tho production of
rlificial precious stones, made a report of
is success. The Moniteur savs :
The irniralions of the ruby?(he most
recious of all stones?have reached a rare
egree of beauty and utility ; for it is presired
by competent watchmakers as pivots
>r watches, to the real ruby, being equally,
urable and much harder. Monsieur Gnuin
hopes and expects to be able to prouce
the ruby ami sapphire of a sufficient
ze to be used in the manufacture of chroometersand
clocks. There are a great
lany shops in Paris devoted entirely to
le ftalo of false jewels, the windows of
rliich presents as brilliant Appearance as
lioseof the most magnificent bijouter*.
'he rarest designs and elegant mountains
re copied in the imitations. The price of
nch of the stones prepared by Monsieur
raudin will not excepd I franc; this will
nable the trnde of Paris to offer them to
heir customers at a wonderfully cbenp
ate."
Refreshing.? It is perfectly refreshing
t this time to have a good joke. When
lie freshet hns done its work, tfie pencil crop
tiled, all the "Bull ace" vines pulled down
> make hoops, and no prospect of corn, a
ood joke is perfectly relished. Soine few

Pleasures of Memory.
I'll sing the joys which memory brings,
While eitting at my cottnge door,
I'll own a spell she o'er me flings
Which few have ever sung before.
I'll sing of joys, of friendship's charm
Around my heart, in "AuM lan-.; syne
I'll sing of memories true and warm ;
I'll sing my thoughts which brigtly si
"This witching lieur" does softly steal
All thoughts of future days from me ;
It bears mc backward, and 1 feel
Content to dwell with memory.
Avaunt I ye hopes, ye all delude?

Away 1 nor now oil me intrude,
I'll be no slave to your false swny.
My sports in chldhood now are s<?ea
In tliy true glass?Oh! memory dear
My rambles through the woodland gree
And bubbling brooks?so pure, so clef
My home, my lmppy childhood's homo
Is loomiug up to me as bright
As fairy tale in magic tome ;
Oh I tell me, is not ibis delight?
Spirits of memory, ye nre now
Communing kindly with my soul;
Ye stand to bathe an aching brow ;
Ye come, awuy my carcs to roll ;
Ye speak so glad of old oak trees
Whose quiet shades did shelter give ;
Ye speak of spring's mild evening breea
When my young heart did joyous li\
Dear memory hail thy, muse I woo
Unto my breast?wilt thou remain
One wish to grant ? my theme imbue
With colors such, as uone disdain.
Bleat memory, linger 'bout my heart
In all thy hintA of ruiubow light;
Oh ! linger, nor from nie yet part,
Till 1 portray thy diamonds bright.
My friends were precious gonfa to me
Th.it made my life glide smooth along;
They knew naught of iuconstaucy,
But truth and trust made glad their ?
Their minds were early taught to love
The truth, with all her sisters mild :
Tliey knew that God in Heaven above,
Had never looked on siu and smiled.
These friends were to their friends all tr
And if from me, they secret heard ;
You might os soon expect to view
Mount Etna's depths, as learn one woi
No blighting health my cheek did blowNo
Judus-kisses touched my lip ;
My hand wns never clasped by Joe?
No poison'd cup had 1 to sip.
No freezing look of cold disdain
Did ever cause one tear to fall ;
The}' never gave the slightest pain
In these sweet dnys?no none at alL
Oh ! Mary, ray own cousin friend,
Thy spirit young did take its flight*
While guarded angels did attend
Thy passage up to Heavenly light
Thy sweef, dear face, my long tried frier
I ne'er on earth shall nee again ;
Thy life below has had its end,
For nought could here thy soul detain.
Thy bright enreer on earth is o'er,
Which wrung my heart with sad regre
And I shall clasp thy form no more ;
Bnt can I ever thee forget I
Forget thee I no, while feelings last,
Aud I may yet be bowed with years ;
Thy image will I, still hold fast

I was standing in the broad, crowded
street of a large city. It was n cold winter's
dsy. There had been rain ; and although
the sun had been shining brightly,
yet the long icicles hung from the caves of
the houses, and the wheels rumbled loudly
as tbey passed over the ground. There
was a clear, bright look, and a cold, bracing
feeling in the air, and a keen northlne"
west wind, which quickened every step.
Just then a little child running along?a
poor, ill-dad child ; her clothes were scant
and threadbare ; she had no cloak and no
shawl, and her little bare feet looked red
and suffering. She could not liuvn hr?f>n
more than eight years old. Shu carried a
bundle in her hand. Poor little shivering
child ! I pitied her. As she p issed mo
her foot slipped, and she fell with a cry of
pain ; but she held the bundle tightly in
; her hand, and jumping up, although she
m, limped sadly, endeavored to run as before.
ir, "Stop ! little girl, stop !" said a sweet,
voice, and a beautiful woman, wrapped in
a huge shawl and with furs around her
came out of a jeweler's store close by. "Poor
little child, she said, "are you hurt ? Sit
down oh this step and tell me."
How I loved her, and how beautiful aha
looked !
"Oh, I can not," said the little child, "I
can not wait? I am in such a hurry. I have
been to the shoemaker's, and mother must
finish this work to-night, or she will never
get any more shoes to bind."
!e? "To-night ?"said the beautiful woman,
re* "to-nisht ?"
"Yes," said the child?for tlio sfrnngpr'a
kind manner had made her bold?"yes for
the great ball to-night, and these satiu slip- 1
pers must be spangled ; and?"
The beautiful woman took the bundle
from the child's hand and unrolled it. You
do not know why her face Unshed and
then turned pale, but I, yes I, looked into
the bundle, and ori the inside of a slipper
I saw.-a name?a lady's name written, but I
hall not CL'il it.

6be told lier that her father was dead, and
that her little brother was sick, and that
her mother bound shoes thai they might
have bread ; but that sometimes they were
ue very cold, and that her mother sometimes
cried because she had no monej to buy
milk for her little brother. And then I
saw that the lady's eyes were full of tears ;
and she rolled up the bundle quickly, and
gave it back to the little girl ; but she gavo
her nothing else?no, not even a sixpence,
and turning away, went back into the
store from which she had just como out.
And as she went away 1 saw the glitter of
_ AT 1 ? T-> " .1 -1 ? _ . - t 1
a uiamonu pin. a resenuy sue came uac.K,
and stopping inlo a handsome carriage
rolled otf. The little girl looked after her a
luoirient, and with her little hare feet,colder
than they were before, ran qickly away.
I went with, the little girl, and i saw her
to a narrow damp street, and into a small
dark room ; I saw her mother?her sad, faded
mother, but with a face so sweet, so patient?pushing
and soothing a 6ick ,^>aby.
?And the baby slept and the mother 'laid
it on her lap; the bundle w'aw unrolled,
and a dim caudle help her with her work ;
for though it was not night, yet her room
was very dark. Then, after awhile, she kiss^
ed her little girl, and bade her warm her
poor froze;}, feet over the scanty fire in tha
tfrate, aujJ gftve her a liUlevpiece of bread,
for she had ho more ; jand then she heard
her say her eveding prayer, and folded her
tenderly to her bosoiii, blessed her, and^
told her that the augejs would take care
of her. And- the little child slept and
dreamed?ohl such pleasant djreams?'of
warm stockings and new shoes ; but the
