TO . We met, and we parted, In sorrow and tears, .... » By the side of that lonely river, Our lives have since shown us, flow true were our fears— We met and parted forever. Oh, why must devotion Join heart unto heart, So quickly, alas! to be severed The bonds of affection We never can part,.... Though we met and we parted forever. ‘Twere better, I’m thinking In that turbid stream; To have quenched life's fitful fbver, For then this great sorrow Could never "have been, Ere we met and weparted forever. Do you still yememher Those exquisite hours, We spent by that lonely river? Our hearts then entraced Ev love’s magis power When we met and we parted forever The night-winds seems sighing, “When, when shall we meet?’ And sadly moan? never, no never, Such bliss in this world Is to great to repeat, When we met, and we parted forever.

Paddle Your Own Canoe. Judge S. gave his son a thousand dollars, telling him to go to college and graduate. The son returned at the end of the Freshmen yeas without a dollar, and with several ugly habits. About the close of the vacation the judge said to his son : “Well, William' arc you going to college this year?’ “Have no money, father.’ “But I gave you a thousand dollars to graduate on.’ “It's ail gone, father.’ “Very well, my son ;it was all I could give you ; you can't stay Jiere; you must now pay your own way in the world.’ A new light broke in upon the vision of the astonished young man. He accommodated himself to the situation ; he left home made his way to college, graduated at the head of his class ",studied law, became Governor of the state of New York, entered the Cabinet of the President of the United States, and is none other than William 11. Seward.

Twain's Last. Mark writes from Elmira, New York“ The Wilson trial came to an end yesterday. In sotfte respects tins was the most remarkable case that has ever had a place npoir the criminal records of the country. It excited great interest in this part of the state, and during the last ten days the courtroom has been pretty generally crowded with eager listeners. The facts of the Wilson case were simply these: “On the 17th of February last, George L. Roderick provoked a quarrel with Dr. R. Wil- * son, in front of the Union hotel in this place. Wilson put up with a • good deal of abuse before he even showed tempers He tried to pacify Roderick, but to no purpose. Roderick called him a thief, a Rar, a swindler; yet Wilson bore it all calmly. Roderick grew more excited, and heaped one opprobrious epithet after another upon Wilson, and finally called him a member of the New York Legisla ture. At this Wilson sprang to his feet, and remarking to Roderick that he would not take that from any man, shot him an axe-handle. Such was the evidence elicited upon the rfiab The court acquitted Wilson upon the ground that the provocation was sufficient.”

Pig Persuasion. A fanner correspondent, speaking of the difficulty of swinedriving, says it is “easy as whistling, after you know how,' to wit: to the end of a stout cord tie an car of corn ; drop it in front of the pig, within tire inchs of bis nose, and commence walking sloAvly away in the directing you wish to propel. If his pigship shows evidence of blighted hopes, or aberration of mind, from the singular conduct of the corn, seduce him into the belief that it is “all right.’ by letting him have a brief nibble at it, and then resume the line of march. In this way, says our informant, (he most obdurate pig may be decoyed any reasonable distance. He says he has deduced this from the fact that “men require motives for action, and why not pigs ?’

The New York Tribune thinks that the “moral ideas' of the i>cople of Massachusetts, will not liear the hanging of Mrs. Madden, convicted of murder in the first degree. The Louisville Cornier— Journal take* occasion to remark that the moral feeling of Massachusetts were not muck shocked over the murder of Mrs. Surratt . by hanging.

An Old Warrior. The Sheboygan (Wis.) Times says : “There is a man living one and a half miles from Plymouth village who served in the Prussian army 11 years in the time of Napoleon’ I. He afterward served in the French army under the immediate command of Bonaparte. He was in many battles of the war, and went into Russia in the. time of the invasion of that country by the Emperor Napoleon, but did not go through to Moscow. He says he remembers Napoleon very distinctly, and doubles up Iris hat in the shape he wore his, and places it on his head as the great soldier used to do, to give an idea of his appearance. lie says he was quite dark, in his looks, rather corpulent. and generally hid his-military decoration under an over-covering. A stranger, he says, would be apt to pick out a dozen of his inferior officers for the emperor before he would him, unless, indeed, he caught his eye, which the old gentleman says was ‘terrible.’ Mr. Iluepschin (the gentleman referred to) is about 85 years of age and cultivates a farm of SO acres with his own hands, and does his own housework, and takes care of his wife, who has been helpless for some years. He is passionately fond of cultivating fruit, and raised and sold several hundred bushels of apples last season.”

Mysteries ofXcw York. No less than twenty-four persons have “mysteriously disappeared” from New York during the past two weeks. One of these is a young lady of beauty and wealth. Following hard on the strange spiriting away of Mr. Steadman, a wealthy Englishman, who arrived a short time ago, and put up at the Brevoort House, it is now stated that a Mr. F. P. Woodhull, who left his boarding house, at Astoria, on Tuesday evening of last week, has been murdered, and his body flung into the East River, from which it was recovered on the 11th near Governor's Island. There was a loner, deep gash on,the head, with the evidence of foul play. On Tuesday night week he stopped at Frenches hotel, but from that time all trace of him appears to have been lost.

j The drcam of the Pharaohs, the i Ptolomies, the Bonapartes, will soon be a reality. Ships will sad freely past Egypt ami Arabia, into ' the Indian Ocean, saving many thousands of miles upon the old i voyages from Europe to Asia. This is the culmination of the world's efforts for a route-eastward jto the Indios. The Suez Canal, begun and ended by French enterprise, at a cost of 8100,000.000, is i characterized as “a task which has no equal except in mythology when Hercules joined the Mediterranean to the Atlantic.”
