NIGHT. 1V JAMES MOSKiOM EKY.

Night is flip time for dreams 'I lie ny romance of lift, When iniili that is and truth that seems ndi'J in fan In .tic strife, Ah! visions less beiuiliiig far Than waking dreams by day-light re! Niirht is the time for toil; To plough the classic field. Intent to find the buried spoil Its wealthy furrows yield ; Till all is ours that sages taught, That poet's sting, or heroes w rought. Nirht is the time to weep; To wet with unseen learJ Those graves of memory, where sleep The joys of other years; Hopes that were nn;cls in thpir birth, But perished young, like things of earth' Nisrht i the time to tvnlcli ; On ocean's dark expense, To hail llic Pleiades, or catch The full-moon's earliest glance That brine unto the home sick mind All we have loved and left behind. Nivht i tho time for care ; Brooding on hours misspent, To seo the spectre of despair Come to our lonely tent ; Like Brntu" 'midst his slumbering host, Startled by Cesar's stalwart ghost. Night is the time to muse: Then from the eve the soul Talu s flight and w ith expanding views Beyond the starry pole, Descries athwart the r.byss of night The dawn of uncreated light. siizhf is the time to pray; Oir Saviour oft withdrew To des.Tt mountains faraway, So will his follows do, Steal from the throng-to haunts untrod, And hold communion there with God.

-allied lidewajs, and ioelanfly plunged, floundering and sinking, m the deep water mire: mingling shrieks, screams, and shouts of the spectators, all in a ruh of commoiion, were appalling. The ecene was indescribable. Even those who had spoiled the miracle, were filled with horror when hey actually saw the unfortunate impostor disappear. They had not dieauted their trick would cost him more than tlip ft ihf, discomfort and disgrace of bf-ing submersed and afterwards struggling ashore; all along taking it for granted, that his plank would enable hitn to swim, however it might treacherously fail him to walk. But the tale closes with the close of his life, and the consequent close of Mormonism in that vicinity, lie sunk and long before tne confounded assembly were in a condition to afford hiui relief, perished a victim to his imposture. WOMEN IN ENGLAND. . Grant Thorburn is on a visit to tfnlajn. In a letter to the editor of the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser, h describes some things that he has eeen in London. The following is an extract: "1 saw in London, women dressed neat and clean, trundling wheelbarrows in the middle cf the street?, seemingly carrying home, or taking clothes to be washed. In the markets of London and Liverpool, are thousands of women, who make their living by carrying home the meat and vegetables. They have round baskets which they place on their heads. I have met delicate, gooddooking females, trem blin under the loads which they carried. "I saw two well-dressed young French women in the streets of Liverpool they had a small organ, fixed on a four wheeled har d wagon. As the two dragged it along, they would stop, play and sing, with a

iinob around, who gave them a few pen

nies. 1 also saw a woman on the highway, breaking stones to Macadamize the

road. On another occasion, saw a wo

man, having a young child buckled on her

hack. She was driving a one horse cart

laden with coals, going up a steep part of

the road, and the load being rather heavy for the horse, she took hold of the wheel nnd helped it to roll along till she got to

j the top of the hill. I thought this was jmosl emphatically clapping the shoulder to the wheel. I thought if Trollope and jFiddler had seen such things in America, hvhat a fine subject it would hare been, to

make for them a book. "As far as J can observe, if the remark be true, that respect paid to women, is tho true character of refinement I think America is at leat half a centufy ahead of them London folks. In short, many, very many of the laborious, and menial offices are here performed by women."

Is the picture true? Iff i-TP-O " The Turkish Language .No people have pretended to so much precision in their language as the Turks. They have not only verbs active, passive, transitive and reciprocal, but also verbs co-operative, verbs meditative, verbs frequenta

tive, verbs negative, and verbs impossible;

and they have what are called verbs of

opinion and verbs of knowledge. I he latter are used when the speaker means

certain of what he asserts the former when lie advances it only as what he thinks likely, or believes upon the testimony cf others.

A t UniOI'S CIRCUMSTANCE. . A story went the round a short time since of a lady having been in the habit of frequenting gambling halls at the west end of the town in disguise, and who it is said, lost 1500. We tlien doubted the truth of this matter, and still doubt the amount of the alleged Joss; but an adventure recently occurred which tends to confirm the belief that the fair sex do oc casionally, and on the sly, indulge in the baneful passion of gambling. For some time past, a man of youthful appearance, wearing mustachios, was observed to he an occasional visiter to a well known house, we have heard, 13 Park place St. James1, where he played with various suehot for moderate stakes.

TRAGICAL KVENT. The follow ing tragical event of a Mor

mon preacher is given by the editor of

the Independent Messenger on the authority of a gentleman from the Western part of the state of New York. Wo did expect to see it authenticated by tho western papers, if it be true. I:: a town w here the delusion had made numerous converts, the ilisciplos were summoned to assemble in a vild place,

circumjacent to a nond, on the water of

which, a gifted elder announced that he should walk and ; jeach. The believer notified their doubting friends, and great things weie anticipated. But it seems there, were a i'jw wicked Lamanites, who secretly set themselves to make mischief. Choosing their opportunity just before the appointed day of miracles, they ascertained, by means of a raft, that the pond to be traversed was extremely shallow; a thin sheet of water covering a sv amp mire. This mire was found to be of a consistency nc.rly strong enough, except within a small central space, to sustain the weight of a m in. They soon discovered a line of plank laid in a particular direction completely across the pond, sunk about four inches under the surface of the water. These were so fastened down, and locked together, and so duubed with mud, as to be quite imperceptible Irom the neighboring declivities. They resolved on pre venting the miracle by sawing the concealed budge in pieces, jus: where il crossed the deepest and most dangerou; part of the pond. This was done, and left seemingly as they found it. The expected day arrived, the congelation placed themselves as in an amphitheatre on the suno; r!ing slopes, and the preacher appeared at the edge of the rva ler. Presently he raised his stentorian voice, as he paced his invisible bridge w ith n step apparently unearthly, taught and warned the people All ears were open, nnd every eye etrained from its socket with astonishment. But alas! jut as the miracle-ot ker seemed to have wrought conviction of his divine power in the hearts of tha multitude, lo! he steppe-

Extract from Bulu-sr'!s " Pilgrim of the Rhine?'' 'I know not what the love of others may be," said Gertrude, "but ours seems different from all which I have read. Books toll us of jealousies and misconstructions and necessity of an absence, the sweetness of a quarrel; but zee, dearest Albert, hav e lud no experience of these passages in love. )Vc have never misun detstood each other, ue have no reconciliation to look hack to. When was there ever occasion for me to ask forgiveness

lof you? Our love is made up only of one

I memory unceasing kindness! a harsh thought, a wronging thought, never broke

in npon the happiness we have lei t and

feel."

"Dearest Gertrude," said Trevylan,

"that character of our love is caught from

you; you, the soft, the gentle, have been its pervading genius; and the well has

been smooth auc pure, lor you were the spirit that lived within its depths."

The tallowing story, from the Temperance Recorder, furnishes one evidence, among numerous others, of the benefits resulting from militia trainings: d True Story. A village schoolmaster said to one of his pupils, a very small boy, who had just gone ahead of his class for spelling best, "well done my little fellow, you shall have a feather in your cap." The boy burst into tears, "What is the matter?" said the master. "I don't want a feather in my cap," replied the lad. "Why not?" "Because when father has a feather in his cap, he always comes home drunk, und scolds at mother and whip? her."

A Good Jokt. A teamster lately lost from his waggon a keg of butler, whieh was found by a man who carried it a half a mile on foot, to the tavern of Mr. H. whero he found the owner. Mr. 11. (the landlord) observed to him that

he was well paid that thank you was worth 25 cents, thank you kindly was w orth 37 1-2 cents. He (the footman) soon called for a dinner, which was forthwith provided. After tiiiishinr his

meal he inquired the price the answer was 25

cents "i thank ymt kindly,'' and moved oti. Tho landlord immediately called to liim "Here,

stop my mend, and take your change; there is 12 centi your due your bill was only 25

cents. fllassachustlfs Spy.

Jl Wonderful Capacity. A store keeper, rath

er remarkable for the care he took of number

one was once boasting in the presence of a cus

tomer, 'that he could secure a pouna of tea, in a smaller piece of paper than any other man in the Seven .States.' 'Yes,' said Zedckiali DrayBsriust, who chanced to hear the observation, 'and you'll put a pint of rum in a smaller bullle, than any other man that tier I tee any way.' Sorntthing .Vet?. A lingual Telegraph, or language by music, which is capable of being put in practice at sea or on shere, by day or by night, has lately been invented in Faris.

for fiftv noundsio the banker, and in au

under tone requested counters. It has been remarked that he scarcely ever spoke, but in a familiar subdued manner. As he was recognised and believed to be respectable, his request was at once complied with, and for a time fortune seemto crown his speculations. At last, howeter.luck turned, and he lost all! His agitation had been gradually increased, and on loosing his last counter,he dropped on the floor. He was immediately carried into a private apartment where every human attention was paid to him, and proper restoratives applied but he relapsed from one fit to another, and at last on unbuttoning the collar and thrown cpen his vest, the man proved to be a woman! A medical gentleman was sent for, and at last comparative self-possession was gained. Consiousness, however, only increased the agitation of the patient, who recognized in the medical attendant a friend of both her own and her husband, for she was a married women. An eclaircisemcnt took place and it is due to state that the owner of the establishment at once commiserated the situation of the unhappy woman and without a moment's hesitation

returned the check, which it is painful to add, was subsequently admitted to be signed with the name of her huiband.

The lesson was a severe one. and it is

hoped will have its proper erfect. London paper. MARRIAGE EXTRA ORDINARY.

Mr. Henry Allen. It appears that Mun

scale; shortly after, Mr. Pago went to

Connecticut and brought back Henry Al

Everybody was well pleased with Henry Allen and he wa9 offered the highest wages when he left Mr. P.'s employ, but he would listen to no offers but those of Mr. Munson who was about establishing hiaiself in Houlton. Here again Henry Allen displayed the same activity; exciting the ad miration of the men by his judgement in business, and knowledge of accounts, for

he appeared to be quite young; bu; the astonishment of the ladies at his accomplishments was without bounds, for no wo

man in the country could sew, iron, or manage household affairs equal to Henry Allen, as he frequently exercised his skill in these matters at his boarding house. But the denouement came at last he went over lo Woodstock with his employer, put on woman's clothes, and was married to him as a Miss , It seems she had been engaged to Munson in Connecticut, but her father refusing to sanction the match, she ran away and ended the courtship in the above manner: Hancock Adv.
