"Tha fowllowlng exquiaito Ilnf, we copy from the Louisville Journal, and are anonymous: The editor says: "We defy any tasteful lover of poetry to rend them without exclaiming, "how beautiful!" My -soul thy secret image keeps, My midnight dreams are all of thee! For nature then in silence sleeps, A silence broods o'er land and sea: O, in that still, mysterious hour. How oft from waking dreams 1 start, To find thee but a fancy flower. The cherished idol of my heart, Thou hast each thought and dream of mine-Have 1 in turn one thought of thine? Forever thine my dreams thall be, Wlmt'er may be my fortunes here: I esk not love I claim from thee, Only one boon a gentle tear; Mayes t blrst Tisions from above Play gently round thy happy Heart, And the aweet beams of peace and love Ne'er from thy heart depart, ... Farewell my dreams are atill of thee-i' Hast thou ono tender thought of me? My joys like summer bftds may fly, . My hopes like summer blooms depart, But there's one flower'that cannot die, Thy holy memory in my heart; No dews that one flower's cup may fill, But it will live and flourish still: As deathless as a thing ol heaven: My soul greets thine, unasked, unsought, Hast Ihou for me one gentle thought? Farewell ! farewell I my far off friend Between us; broad, blue rivers flow. And forests wave and plains ex end, And mountains in the sunlight glow: The wind lhat brealhos upon thy brow Is not the wind that breathes on mine; The star beams shining un thee now Are not the beams that on me slime, But memory's spell is with me yet Canst thou the holy past forget? The bitter tears thai you and I May shed whene'er my anguish bowed, Exalted in the nuoaid t sky. May meet and mingle in the cloud: And thus my much loved friend: though we Far, far apart, must live and move, Our souls when God shall set them free, Can mingle in the world of love! This were ecstney to me Say, would it be a joy to thee? The Diamond Breastpin. It will cost two hundred dollars, Anns!' aaid John Blakely to his young, proud and extravagant wire. The tone in which he said this, showed that her request hid startled him. "I know it will; but what are two hundred dollars for a diamond pin? Mrs. Blakeley'i voice was halt contemptuous. "Mary Edgar's Diamonds cost over thousand dollars." "Just one thousand dollars more than her husband could afford to pay for them," said Mr. Blakely. "He's the best judge of that I presume," retorlcd his wife. "But that doesn't signify You cannot.An-na.""What do you do with your money pray?" Tho young wile turned shsrply upon ' her husband, and her words and tone stung him into a rather harsh reply. Eul thit) only aroused ber anger and made her more unreasonably persistent , '-Oh, very well," said her too yielding bus- band at last, "go to Canfjeld's to-morrow jd get the pin. Tell htm to send if in the ac count on the first of January, and it will be paid." ' . Mrs. Blakely wss in earnest . There was not one of her fashionable acquaintances but had diamond ring or breastpin, and nntil she was the owner of one or both, she could no longer hold up ber bead in society, tier husband was receiving teller in a bank, at a ..Inpvnf flft.i6fl llundrMl dnlUra rw annum :.., u: i. ; JL ' . ....

The hindsome tac and captivating manners 6fl dashing telle bewildered his fancy. lie proposed in haste; was promptly accepted,nd led to the altar, not a true woman, to be trans formed Into a true wife, but a weak, capricious, Tain creature, incapable of genuine lovo, ind too selfish and narrow-minded te feel the influence of honest principlo. ' An extravagant love for dress and ornament characterised her from Iho beginning, and she would barken to none of ber husband's gently offered remonstrances. Nearly half his in coma she spent the first year of her marriage in dress and jewelry. The demand for a two hundred dollar breastpin coming upon Blakely, as it did, it a time when he had made the unpleasant dis covery of a deficit in his income, when compared with his expenses, of several hundred dollars, sadly disheartened biui. But be was not brave enough to meet tbe exigency, and therefore weakly yielded to a demand (hat should have been met by in unflinching refusal. . The first of January found Blakely lhottef few! WrmmtirOM tiaVtoiirw to U paid for the diamond. ' CanfieM'a bill came in and must be settled. It would not do for bim to bold back In tbe matter of set tlement, for the jeweler was an acquaintance of more than one of the directors of the bank, and questions might be asked and inferences drawn prejudicial to his standing.. In an evil hour under distress and strong temptation, the young man made a false entry, which en abled him to abstract two hundred dollars from the funds of the bank. This was only a beginning oft series of de falcations, which ran througli many years before the exposure came which tl ways follows such a crime. It was easier now to sup ply theextravagentdomandsof his wile. whose annual wardrobe, and bills of jewelry, for which she bad that passion which is charac teristic of weak minds, almost reached the amount of his salary. But the end came at last One morning, seven years from the day of their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Blakely were about leaving for the opera, when the bell was rung violently Mr. Blakely started ind. turned pale with a sudden presentiment of evil. "What is the matter?" asked his wife, who saw the singular chango in his countenanco. Mr. Blakely did not answer, but stood list ening at tbe door. Men's voices were now heard, and the tread of heavy feet along the passage. There was a start and hurried movement by Blakely: then he stood still, as if riveted to the spot ' "Whoare Ihey? What is the meaning of this?" asked Mrs. Blakely (n alarm. At the same moment two men entered therom. "You ire irrested," said one of them, "on charge of defalcation." Mrs. Blakely shrieked, but ber husband stood still and statue like, his face of an ash en hue. 'George, George! This is false," exclaimed Mrs. Blakely, recovering herself. "You could not stoop to such a crime!" "It is 'rue," he answered in a low despair ing voice. Then laying one of his fingers on the diamond pin lhat glittered on her bosom, ho added speaking to her alone: "You gained that at the price of your hus band's dishonor! You demanded it. I remonstrated, and (aid I could not afford so costly an ornament. You repealed your demand, tnd I, weak fool that 1 was, permitted Iho contraction of such a debt that could only be crncealed by dishonest means. I thought when I married you that I had obtained wife whose virtues might help me upward to heaven, but you have proved only a templing fiend, dragging me nearer and nearer the blink of destruction, and I now fall to hopeless ruin. I hive robbed the bank, but it was for you." Then turning to the officers he said in a calm voice: "I cm at jour service." The words of her husband had stunned Mrs. Blakely. She never saw him after ward. That night he passed to his account befoie a higher tribunal than an earthly one and she was left in poverty snd disgrace. The story is ono of every-day life. George Blakely is the representative of a class. Not all of them rob banks, or defraud their employers. But all of them, to support idle, extravagant wives in costly establishments costly in comparison with their means spend ruoie than their earnings or profits, and fail to pay their just obligations. A modern young lady fashionably educa ted, and with modern notions of stylo, fashion and domestii equipments, is altogether too costly an article for a young man of small means or a moderate salary. Diamond pins, rich silks, laces, rosewood furniture, six, sev en, eight, or nine hundred-dollar bouses, operas, balls, fashionable parties, Saratoga and Newport, and success in business, are alto gether out of the question. If young men would unite the lattor and matrimony1 they must look into another circle for wives. A girl who is independent enough to earn her own living as a Uscter or with the needle js a wife worth a score of such bnttei flies of faibico; and arising young man who has en-ly his industry to rest upon for success in life, is a fool to marry any other. Usoful in dustry is always honorable, and difference of sex makes no difference in this particular. fj3rAo eminent lawyer went into a shop of a clothier, in Boston, who was in partner- : ship with hit brother-in-law, tnd inquired for some waistcoats. A number of elogant patterns were thrown pn the counter. The lawyer pleasantly observed h should like to take one of them, If he would take his pay in hw. "You nay take one, tf you please;" replied the clothier, "and pay myhvther-in-few.' - ' ' " - ' ' "- ' UimllaritoiAS. Message of tbe Governor of Pennsylvania.The Governor's Message states that the fi nances of the 8tate are in a most satisfactory condition. The receipts at the Treasury for the fiscal year were over four millions; expenditures, three million and three quarters; tbe balance on hand Is over three-quarters of a million, and the entire State debt nearly forty millions. He recommends a great re duction in the public debt, looking towards its extinguishment. Speaking of tbe sale of the main line, he says that, after the con tract for the sale of the Delaware division was entered into, he was informed' higher prices wero offered by responsible parties, but In his opinion it was then too late. The prospects of the early completion of the Suobury and ErioJRK. are very encourag- ingv There ire 11,000 public schools; cost $2,- 500,006. Regarding banks, be recommends a careful inquiry into the present condition of the Tio ga county tnd Crawford county Banks, and the Bank of Shamokin. He reiterates the opinion expressed in a former Message, that there should be no further increase of banks or banking capital under the present system. He informs the Legislature he cannot approve of any bills chartering additional banks without a radical change in the present system. He recommend that certificates of loan be is sued by the general government on Common wealth at a value to be fixed upon, with pow er to require additional deposits ol security as the loan depreciates in market. The present condition of the revenue of the general government demonstrates an urgent necessity for increased duties on foreign importations and the Governor endorses tbe views of the Pres ident relative to the change proposod for spe cific duties. Tbe concluding portion of the Message is devoted to Kansas. The Famous Dead of 1858. The necrology for 1853 is distinguished by many noted names, but upon the whole it may . bo remarked that Death has contented himself with fewer "shining marks"-than usual, Among American 'statesmen, tbe most eminent decease for the year was Thorn, as U. Benton. With him hive departed Sen ator Evans, of South Carolina; Senator Hen derson, of Texts; ex-Senator Baghy, of Ala" bama; General James Gadsden, of South Carolina; John A.

Democratic Triumphs. Let us glance at a few of tho more recent triumphs of the Democracy: In our State it has opened the jails for the reimprisonment of men, women and children, whose sole crime it the love of liberty; it has endorsed the Dred Scott Decision, which makes slavery tbe rule and freedom tbe exception; it has repealed the law forbidding slavery in Ohio; it his raised the salaries of all our judges, and nearly every other State and coun ty officer, thus increasing the taxes of tho people more than ono hundred thousand dollars annually; it has, to reward partisans, made a new batch of offices; in two years it bit added nearly one-tenth to the burdens of the taxpayor. In the nation, it has warred foi years to plant slavery on free territory; it has tnado tbe astonishing discovery that when Washington signed tbe ordinance of 'HI be violated tbe Constitution; it baa bankrupted tho treasury and incurred a national debt, that will soon be couutod by hundreds of millions; it bis solemnly determined that to make a free State ft will require four limes as many inhabitants as to make a slave State. These are some of its triumphs. Stark Co. Sep. - Watkb is tm Sea. If we would obtain any idea of th water which the sea contains, let us suppose a common and general depth of the ocean. By computing it at only two hundred fathoms, or the tenth part ol a mile, we. shall sco that there is sufficient water to cover the whole globe to the height of five hundred and three feet; and if we wero to reduce this to one mas, we should find that it would form a glob of more than sixty thou- And milt in diametor." ' ' ' - Au Involuntary Bermonizer. The Cadis Republican says that Mrs. IMr ney, of Tippecanoe, Harrison county, Ohio, a highly respectable lady and a member of the Presbytorian Church, during a peculiar con. dition of ber physical an mental organization, actually preaches a sermon. Her discourses are dolivered regularly every other 8unday at 10 o'clock, nnd have been continued for nearly eighteen years. While preaching she reclines upon a bed and occupies that position until ner remarks are linished, which '.s usually about an hour. Her instructions are generally excellent and abound in scriptural quotations, but when she recovers her con- sciousress.she has no recollocliori whatever of hat she has been saving, Several years ago her case excited tha attention of several medical gentlemen, who, while they had the utmost confidence in her sincerity, could give no satisfactory explanation of the mystery. The First Woman on Pike's Peak Mrs. Hoi mer, formerly of Lawrence, writes to her mother, Mrs. Archbald, at that place as follows: "In nil probability. I am tbe first woman who has evor stood upon tho summit of this mountain, and gazed upon this wondrous scene which my eyes now behold. How I sigh for a poet's power of description, so that I might givo you some faint idea of the gran- de ur and betuly of this scene. Extending is r is the eye can roach, lie the great level plains, stretched out in til their verdure tnd boauty.w'ile the w inding ol the grand Arkansas is visible for many miles. We can also see distinctly whoromany ol the smaller tributa ries unite with it. The rugged rocks all around, nnd the almost endless succession of mountains ind rocks below, the broad Mu sky ovor cur heads, and seemingly so very near; all and everything on which the eye can rest, fills the mind with infinitude and sends the soul to God." Attempt to Rob the Summit Co. Treasury; We are indebted to Mr. Ashraun, 8enator from Summit county, for the particulars of a daring attempt to rob the Treasury of that county on Sunday evening. A school house in the suburbs of the vilLge of Akron, the county soat, was fired by the robber, or sn accomplice, which immediately drew all tho cit. izens to that point, when the seeker aftor treasure began his work on tho window of the Treasury offico, unseen, as he supposed, but the sharp eyes of Marshal Wright, of Akron were upon him, and instead of making an immediate arrest, be allowed the burglar to work away and effect nn entrance, when be was pounced upon, and "rulllod" in a jiffy. The burglar gave his name as Sapp.appear ed to bo in want of cash, and went in for a big haul. We shall not wonder to hoar of numer ous robberies and attomptsof this kind, it being one ol the beauties of the sub-treasury law. O. S. Journal, Ftb. 1st, "39. More about the Slaves. Ia addition to the large number of negro slaves taken off on Thursday by the New Falls City to the South, the Monongahela took away fifty.aud the John Walshasmall- er lot yesterday. The Aunt Lotty arrived from Kookuk last evenirg, having several blacks on board from Northeast Missouri, in charge of a man who is taking them south, The Aunt Letty, and doubtless other Missis sippi boats, as well is every boat from the Missouri) have more or less of that "peculiar property," which allidmit is disappearing from the State at so wonderfully rapid i rato. The nullifiers of M issouri will soon admit, we suppose, that "there is already an act ofeman. cipation in force," as was declared two years ago in the Legislature by a representative from the city of St. Louis. Missouri Democrat. Railroads in the west. The Cincinnati Railroad Record sums up an interesting article on the Railroads of theWest at the closo of 1858, as follows: Thus we have 0,421 miles ol railroads finished in nino States, comprehending ovor 400,000 square miles. In one of thrso States (Ohio,) the proportion is one to 14 square miles. In nnother (Indiana,) one in 23. In a third (Illinois.) ono in 21. In a fourth (Michigan.) one in I0O. In a fifth (WiMooti-sin,) one in 85. In Iowa, one n 240; in Kentucky, one in 170; and in Missouri, one in 154, We may safely assume, that in t few years, this region will . have a proportion as large as one in 25 sqnire miles; in which case the Central Railroad system will contain 10,000 iq ure miles and, we add with confidence, tiiii profliablo part of the American Railroads. ScAnciTT or Corv is AnitASSAS. The Nashville Gazette saj s: Our Arkansas noighbots, it is said, are suffering from tho want of corn. We have heard ot largo shipments within the past fow days to several of our cilizens who own farms in that State. In a loiter home, one of our most respectable citizons writes that he is entirely out of that species of grain, and to prevent his hands from suffering it must be sent immediatt-ly. SlosincANT. Tho same voice that cried "Hosanna!" when the son of David entered Jerusalem, cried "Crucify him!" When tho popular current turned. There is a great deal of meaning In this fact, and wo may often see it illustrated in the lives of men of our own times.

" BKVKALS. Revivals and Aceessioni.'tbt House of In dustry at the Five Points is now th scene of deep inteerest to all Christians. For some time this interest bsa been advancing. Last Wedr.esdsy night, about thirty rose for pray-er varying in age from tha child of ten to the hardened sinner of forty. Some who derided the work when it first commenced, are now among the anxious. A powerful revival is in progress at the Wall Street M. 13. Church, at Jafforsonvilie, Ind. Upwarde of fifty accessions and conversion have taken place, and a remarkable religious interest prcvades the entire community. The "Revivu) Correspondence" of the lost Cincin nati Christian Advocate records nearly eight hundred recent conversions and accesayns to the M. E. Churches of Ohio and the neighboring States. In the same department of tho Central Advocalo of St. Lnaig, we find lhat about C75 persons have recently united with tho Methodist Churches of Missouri, Western Illinois, &-c. Tho Western Method isl Protestant reports two hundred ind ilfly conversion."!; mostly in Ohio and Indiana. There is quito a religious interest in the First Presbyterian Church at Lafayette, Ind.l under the pastoral charge of itev. tt. H. Allen' Twenty-five persons have been added to its communion, during the pas' ten days, all of whom, are heads of families, but three. Services are held every evening. In tto Christian Roviewofthot resent week there are recorded about one hundred acces sions to the Christian (Disciples) Churches of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. At tho Celebration of the Lord's Supper, on Sabbath last, in tho Second United Presbyterian Church, Sixth Street Pittsburg, forty-four persons were ndded to its membership, twen-eight on examination and sixteen by certifi-ca e. Ofthe former fourteen are connected with tho Sabbath School. Nine persons at Dayton united with the Third Street Presbyterian Church last Sabbath morning. In the afternoon, the other two rrcssbyterian Churehcs,(Firstnd third) and tho Congregational, united with them in the celebration of the Lord's Supper. A very interesting revival of religion is now progressing in the Jefferson Street Baptist Church at Louisville. The pastor is assisted in his labors by Rev. Mr. AR6n, of Va., and Dr. Everets. . The wonderful work of grace In Sweden goes on with increasing power, and is likely to make its influence full all over the kingdom and among ill classes. The New York Ob server has some interestmir sketches of it origin ind progress, from which we take a single extract: 'Terlmps in no other place has the fruit been so swcot as tn the extremejiorth. in parishes where the Finnish, 8wedish and Lipo-nian populations meet In these districts the greatest vices had long ben prevalent'; the children were brought up in perfect ignorance, brandv was consumed in quantities), and almost every one was a drunkard. The nt slonsof thecourtof justice were overloaded with lawsuits and processes of every description, and morality was so awfully forgotten that the exchange of wives wis among the peasants no uncommon thing. Such w?s the sad condition among the inhabitants of Kare- suandi, Jukknsjarwi, Gilliivnra, and Pajaln, when God, about twelve or fifteen years ago, found channel through which he might convey to thorn his reviving grace. The pastor ofthe first place, a rustic but ingenious man, L. L. Ldistadius.an earnest moralist, although not yet a converted sinnor. one Sunday morning on hit way to church, was suddenly struck with a fine phenomenon in the ky. He immediately asked himself, without closer combination of thoughts, 'am I, a poor sinner, to be the leader or this congregation?" These words made a deep impression upon his mind Ho understood now that to be a Christian was something widely different from that of being a highly respectable man, as people say. He began to change his conduct, and to watch hi own heart; ho Vgan to preach 10 his congregation about repentance and future damnation and canned a great stir in the camp of rockles sinners. The Penitential spirit spread far and wide, something liko a contagion. An anxious care for the welfare of impenitent soul occupied all mirds, and wa& evinced in every conversation. It was no more said, 'How di you do?' but, 'Have you repented?' or, "wher. will you repent?" Thus every ono was a preacher to his brother. jirscrLt.ANRots. Coiigrfjationah'tti. From tables carefully constructed in the now Congregational Quarterly, by that indefatigable statist, Rev. A- H.
