Th* tlcapcrldaa.The rltssiral mythology contains many

beautiful fables. The blessed isles of thewest, where the gardens of the Ilesperidealay, were probably the dream of that hap-py Eden where the first parente dwelt

“The Ilesperidvs, or ‘The WesternMaidens,’ were three celebrated nymphs.They are said to have been tho daughtersof Night, and to hare had no,father.—Their home was ‘beyond the bright ocean.'Wtlen the bridal of Jupiterand Juno tookplae<', all the deitiescame, bearing nuptialpresents for the bride ; among them camethe Goddcsa of earth, bringing with herbranches haring golden apples growingthereon. Juno, being greatlypleased withthe branches of golden fruit, begged ofEarth to plantthem in her gardens, whichextended as fir as Mount Atlas. Tho re-quest wss granted, and the Hesperides.or* The Western Maidens,’ were set to watchand guard the trees. Rut, alas! the Iruitwas 100 tempting, and, like our first mo-ther, they put forth their hands and pluck-ed for themselves. Juno was so enragedat this act, that she sent a great dragonto guard the precious fruit. Hercules wassent by Eurysthencs to bring some of thisgolden fruit. On his way in quest of it,he came to the river Eridanus, and inqui-red of some nymphs where the appleswere to ho obtained. They directed binito Nereus, whom he found asleep; him hebound and held fast till he told where thegolden apples were. Having obtainedthis information, he si t out on bis jour-ney. He visited Egypt, roamed throughArabia, over the mountains of Lybia —bethen reached the eastern course of theocean,which he crossed in the radiant cupof the Sun-Cod. He nos’ came to wherePrometheus lay chained, with a bird feed-ing on his liver; ho shot the bird and de-livered Prometheus,who, outol gratitude,warned him not to go himself after theapples, but to send Atlas after them, and,in the meantime, support the heavens inhis stead. Allas, accordingly, went forthe apples; and when he returned, pro-posed to carry them to Euysthones him-self, leaving Hercules to hold up the heav -ens. This Prometheus seemingly acce-ded to, but asked Atlas to take hold ofthe heavens while ho put a pad upon thehead of his friend Hercules. The unwa-ry Atlas threw down the apples and re-sumed his burden, when Hercules snap-ped up the fruit and went on his way.’’

Tns Touttkes or Sisrt Sis«.—The tor-tures of Sing Sing prison exceed liy farthe punishment* inflicted in Neapolitandungeons, if the details of the “ shower-ing"of one desperado there, recently, arctrue. It was Tom Kelly, a noted ruffian,who suffered. It is said he only took ad-

wos recaptured, and the keeper, actuatedby revenge, punished him beyond reason.Kelly was placed naked in a bath, hisfeet, hands and head being firmly pin-ioned. The water was allowed to trickledown bis face and warm body for a fewminutesbefore the haHTlell upon bis head.At length it fell. Tom bore it well, notashiver of the legs, not a muscular move-ment of the bands or fingers, not a singlecry of distress, although he was actuallybeing drowned for about five minutes.“ You bear it well, Tom,” said one of thekeepers, after the first five minutes hadelapsed, and time had been given him torecuperate. “It's awful,” was Tom’sreply ;

“ but I can’t ask for mercy.” Downcame the water again, and for five min-utes longer the gurgling sounds of astrangling man were audible, and, whenhe was exhausted, the cord was let upand the water stopped. A few minutesof release was granted, and down camethe water again, and the scene was moreterrible Ilian the worst execution. Atlength, congestion of the brain was threateued, and a “ hiss” from tbo physicianbrought the third scene to a close, ilehad been fifteen minutes under the showerbut had twenty-five minutes of the sameto endum; and for the next forty daysthe same punishment will bo meted outto him, unless he dies under the handsof the keeper. It is described as an awfulspectacle to witness'tills man under thebath. Every muscle contracted and be-came corded ; sometimes the hands wouldbecome convulsed, and every nerve strain-ed, when there would follow a relaxation.AfterKelly had been showered, and takento his cell, the keeper turned round, andwith a malignant smile, exclaimed“ We’ll aubdue him.” Outsiders, fromthat single expressive sentence, may guessat the rule in Sing Sing.

Home Affections.—The heart has affec-tions that never die. The rough rubs ofthe world, its deceitfulness and treachery,the neglect of friends whom we trusted,their false-hearted ness and hollow profes-sions cannot obliterate them. They arethe memories of home—only home. Allother memories may grow dim, all otheraffections may be rooted from the heart,the warmest loro may die awav, thebrightest hopes may take wings, but theaffection and lore with which we regardour homo can never, no never, be oblit-erated. There is the old tree under whichthe light-hearted boy has swung many nday; yonder is the stream in which helearned to swim ; there is the house inwhich he knew a parent's protectionnay, there is the room in which he rompedwith brother and sister, long since, per-chance, laid in the yard in which he ton,soon must be gathered, overshadowed byyonder old church, whither, with a joy-ous troup like himself, he iiad often fol-lowed his parents to worship God. Eventhe old school house, associated in youth-ful days with thoughtsof tasks, now comato bring pleasing remembrance of manyoccasions that called forth some generousexhibition of noble trails in human char-acter. There ia where be learned to feelsome of bis first emotion*. There, per-haps, ho first met the being who, by herlove and tenderness in lite, has madehome for himself happier than that whichhis childhood knew. His spirit yearns forall these, and lie may beseparatedfrom them forever, yet memory bringsthem often before him, and to them arehis heart's best affections given, whenworldly friends have proved unkind.

Tna vote of Texas, so far, ia about 44,-000 for Breckinridge to 14,000 for Bell—-a majority of 30,000 for the former—byfar the largest majority be had receivedin any State in the South.

A fellow that doesn't benefitthe worldby his life, does it by his death.

The new rollinone of Mr. Parfon’s “Lifeof Andrew Jackson" ha* the followingaccount of the General's wife :

On Monday evening, the evening beforethe twenty-third, her disease appearedtake a decided turn for the better andshe then so earnestly entreated the Gene-ral to prepare for the fatigues of the mor-row, by having a night of undisturbedsleep, that he consented, at last, to go intoan adjoining room and lie down upon nsofa. The doctor was still in the house.Hannah and George were to sit up withtheir mistress. At 0 o’clock the Generalbade her good night, went into the nextroom, and took off his coat, preparatoryto lying down, lie had been gone butabout live minutes. Mrs. Jackson wasthen, for the first time, removed fromher bed, that it might be re-arranged forthe night. While sitting in a chair, sup-ported in the arms of Hannah, she uttereda long, loud, inarticulate cry, which ivas

immediately followed by a rattling noisein the throat. Her head fell forward up-on Hannah's shoulder. She never spokenor breathed again. •

There was a wild rush into the room ofhusband, doctor relatives, friends, andservants. The General assisted to lay herupon the bed. “ Illecd her,” he cried.—No blood flowed from her arm. “ Tri-tile temple, doctor.” Two drops stainedher cap, and no more followed.

“ It was long before he would believeher dead. Ho looked eagerly into herface, as it still expecting to see signs ofreturning life. Her hands and feet werecold. There could be no doubt, then,and they prepared a table for laying herout. \\

rilh a choking voice, the Generalsaid :

“‘Spread four blankets upon it. Ifshedocs come to, she w ill lie so hard on thetable.’

“He sat all night long In the room byher side, with his face in his hands,‘ grieving,’ *aid Hannah, and occasionallylooking into the face, and feeling theheart and pulse of the form so dear to him.Mojor Lewis, who had been immediatelysent for, arrived just before daylight, andfound him still there, nearly speechlessand wholly incomo’able. He sat in theroom nearly all the next day, the pictureof despair. It was only with great diffi-culty that be was persuaded to take alittle coffee.

“ ‘And this is the way,’ concluded Han-nah, ‘ that old mistus died ; and we al-ways say that when wo lost her wo lost amistus and a mother too ; and more amother than a mistus. And we say thesame of old master, for he was more afather to us than a master, and many’sthe time we've wished him back again, tohelp us out of our troubles.’

‘‘The remains of Mrs Jackson still liein the corner of the Hermitage Garden,next those of her husband, in a tomb pre-pared by him in these years for their re-ception. It resembles, in appearance, anopen summer house—a small while domesupported by pillars of white marble.The tablet that covers the remains of Mrs.Jackson reads as follows;

“ ‘Hero lie the remains of Mrs. RachelJackson, wife of President Jackson, whodied the 22d of Dec. ’2B, aged 61 Herface was fair, her person pleo*ing, hertemper amiable, her heart kind ; she de-lighted inrelieving the wants of her fel-low creatures, and cultivated that divinepleasure by the most liberal and unpre-tending methods ; to the poor ahe was abenefactor ; to the rich an example ; tothe wretched a comfort ; to the prosper-ous an ornament ; her piety went hand inhand with her benevolence, and shethanked her Creator for being permittedto do good. A being so gentle and sovirtuous, slander might wound but couldnot dishonor. Even death, when he toreher from the arms of her husband, couldbut transport her to the bosom of herGod.’”

Tiihii.i.iko Incident—Recoonition of aBody Forty Years After Biriau— Notmany yearn since, certain miners whowere working far under ground, came up-on the hody of a poor fellow who hadperished in the suffocating pit forty yearsbefore. Some chemical agent to whichthe body had been subjected—an agentprepared in the laboratory of nature—hadeffectually ai rested the progress of decay.They brought it to the surface, and for awhile, till it crumbled away through ex-posure to the atmosphere, it lay an imageof a tine sturdy young man. No convul-sion had passed over the face in death—-the features were tranquil ; the hair wasblack as jet. No onerecognised the face ;

a generation had grown up since the dayon which the miner went down his shaftfor the last time.

But a tottering old woman who hodhurried from her cot on hearing the news,came up, and she knew again the facewhich through all these years she hadnever quite forgot The poor miner wasto have been her husband the day afterthat on which he died. They were roughpeople, of course, who were looking on—-a liberal education and refined feelingsare not deemed essential to the manwhose work is to get up coal or even tin—but there were no dry eyes when thegrey-headed pilgrim cast herself on theyouthful corpse and poured out to itsdeaf ear many words of endearment un-used for forty years. It was a touchingcontrast—the one so old, and the other soyoung. They had both been young theselong years ago, but time had gone onwith the living and stood still with thedead.— Frazer'i Magazine.

The CnrcimioN.—Tertullian says thatthe crucifixion occurred on the 251 h ofMarch. Lsctantius gives the same day.St. Augustin asserts the same in at leastthree places. St. John Chrysostom saysthe same in his sermon on the nativity ofSt. John the Baptist, and St. Gregmy ofTours the same ; and.our venerable Bedethe same. St. Thomas of Aquinas, St.Antoninas, Platina and Usuard are quo-ted for the same opinion by Snarer., whoagrees with them. The Church seems tofavor this opinion in her Martyrology, byappointing March 25thfor the feast ol thegood thief called St Dismas.
