An old lady ig talking' to her grand daughter on this subject: " I was once young, and had a school fellow, a girl sweet as liojo, and Innocent as a saint shriven; she was pretty, too; just such a creature as a youth of nineteen would iuii in lore with, write verses aliout, ond dote upon till a fresher fuco crossed ,;. mt,. " Yes, Lotchen was fuir. and if ever ths natno or aitRel belonged to woman, it wos her birthright: before her eighteenth year she floated upon the wintr of her euardian spirit, to claim that birthright iu heaven. isui Lotchen had a human heart, too, and, as far us her ignoronce allowed her to know passion, sho fell in love at sixteen, if 11 wus Hilling in love to pour out her whole being at a mortul's feet, and auk for no thing, ntik'ss it wero Tor strength to keep her modest secret. "Tho youth she loved pawed her bv unnoticed; so many a man passes by a irur, nouie neari, nnrcaa. tnoimh the read ing thereof might make him wealthier than kings. Io, Ileinrich had no lovo for Lotchen: no more love for Lotchen than he had for the imnce of the Virgin In tht church wherein he worshipped, and where, too often, he stood, like an earth-veil, be tween Lotclton and heaven. "The cirl loved him as a nious Catholic loves a sit i tit us something holy mid ubove her; it wus enough for her to hear his voice ut rare Intervals, to snatch a trembling glnnce at his face; and nil the while inUnstr oiisly hiding herself from his notice. Hit innocent love knew no future; it lived only iu the present; she never tlmtioht that that present could niter, or tint anything could take her idol from her guz Cut Ileinrich departed, and with him went a tn milling heart, and every eniltless prayer that innocence can frame. Lotchen grieved sadly, quietly, but i.ot in despair; ne woniij return; lie had only cone to II 'id 'lberg; ho would come hack from tho Univer-tty with a world of knowledge and science; and it would shine out in his beautiful faee, giving it a fresh glory. lime went by news enme that Ilein rich was I ctrothed to the rector's tlnuirh- ter; Lotchen wept, but quiet tents tears that she ti.O'iL'lit no eyes but the amrels' could see; yet some one spied them out. Tho ' some one,' was n young girl, too a fchoolfcllow; hiding Lotchcu's blnshingfnce aruinst her own bosom, and winding her arms around her like a sister, she drew nut of the full heart all it had felt and suffered for two long years all tho happiness it had Known, too, a happiness whose light was now quenched in tears. The friend spoke soft, consoling words to Lotchen, and It It bcr to tell the rest to heaven. One week luter there came a letter from Ileinrich a most loving letter, dis- abusing the young trirrs mind as to the false report, pouring out nil the soul of the writer iu lovo to lux. Ileinrich loved herl Then oarth was heaven I Oh, why did not the young enthusiast carry her great happiness straight to her mother, and give her hull'! Something withheld her; she could not tell her joy to mortal ear. llur friend gently questioned her of her happiness, for her beaming looks Ik tray cd that sho had a rich store in her bosom. Lotchen only answered, 'The rose tree iu my garden, which I thought dead, is in blossom, and I shall yet wear a crown of its flowers! ' The friend asked no more. " The timid girl trembled to answer Ileiurich's letter, but he had so entreated for a reply, that she overcame her fears and wrote to him all her love. No, not a thousandth part, but still something which let him read the first page of her virgin henrt. Then her lover wrote again and again warm, glowing, impassioned letters, kept yet within bounds by the re membrance of the pure heart into which he was pouring his soul, ile must be absent yet a year, but at the end of that time his studies would be completed; he would leave Heidelberg, and fly to claim bis loving Lotchen. "The year of happy waiting was gone! Hcinrich came home to Manheim, but he passed Lotchen by with a cold greeting. A fair young bride bung on nis arm. Lotchen died. Died, when at length she knew that all the impassioned letters she had received were forged by her friend's hand for her friend's sport, aud that her trusting answers, wherein her soul was written, had been shown about Manheim, among Lotchen's acquaintance. Peace to thee, Lotchen! Sleep well! Slain by a woman's and a sister's hand! "Ah, young hearts! you will weep, many of you will weep for Lotchens true story. .Never, then, sport wun anniner woman's feelings. Let lier i ancreri in your eyes, as your own motner t oaugn ter. "I want to tell you more, but tears are in my old eyes, dimming them more yian age, and tenr are well n? up in my heart for the lost companion of my early days, now mouldering in the graven my sweet, gentle, loving Lotchen."

Wt con dense. The plain upon which lie the mass ive relics of gorgeous temples and magnifi cent halls slopes gradually eastward to wards the river Pecos, and Is very fertile, crossed by a gurgling stream of the pur est water that not only sustains a rich vegetation, but perhaps furnished wilh this necessary element the thousands who euco inhabited this present wilderness. The city was prolnbly built by a war- liko race, as it is quadrangular and arrang- cd with skill to nfford the highest prolec- tion against an exterior foe, many of the buddings 011 the outer lino being pierced with loopholes, as though calculated fur tho use of weapons. Several of the build ings are of vast size, and are built of mass ive blocks of a dark granite rock, which could only have boon wrought to their present condition by a vast amount of labor. There are the ruins of three noble edifices each presenting a front of three hundred feet, mudo of ponderous bloiks of stone, and the dilapidated walls are even now thirty-five feet high. There are no partitions In the area of tho mid dle (supposed) temple, so thnt tho room must have been vast; and there are also carvings in bas-relief and fresco work. Appearances justify the conclusion that these silent ruins could ouce boast of halls as gorgeously decoruted by the artist's haud as those of Thebes ond Palmyra Tho buildings are all loopholcd on each side, much resembling those found in the old feudal castles of Europe designed for tho use of archers. The blocks of which these edifices are composed are cemcutcd togeth er by a species of mortar of a bituminous character, which has such tenacity that vast masses of wall have fallen down with out tho blocks being detached by the shock. We hope, cro long, to be favored with full and descriptive particulars, as it is proba ble that visits and examinations will be made amongst such interesting relics of the unknown post by some of the United Stutes officers attached to the nearest fort. Choosing IIcsuaxds. When a girl marries, why do people talk of her choice. Iu ninety-nine cases out of a hundred has she any choice? Docs nut the man, prob ably the last she would have chosen, select her? A lady writer says: I have been married many years; the match was con sidered a very good one, suitable in every respect age, position, and fortune. Every one said I had tnado a good choice. I loved my husband when I married him, because he had, by unwearied assiduity, succeeded in gaining my affection; but, bad choice been my privilege, I certainly should not have chosen him. As I look at him in his easy chuir, sleeping before the fire, a huge dog at his feet, a pipe peeping out of the many pockets of his shooting coat, I cannot but think how different be is from what I would hare chosen. My first pen chant was for a fashionable clergyman: L. o 1 1 i, ... r - 110 sis uuiierer, uaicu uub uttic lur uic, though I have not yet forgotten the pang of hit desertion. My next was a barrister a yonng mnn of immense talent, smooth, insinuating manners; but he, too, after walking, dancing, flirting, left me. Either of these would have teen my choice, had I so chosen. But my present husband chose me, and therefore 1 married him; and this, I cannot help thinking, most be the way with half the married folks of my acquaintance. Tm Iumeksitt or Losdos. It is diffi cult to realize the immensity of London. I am living in tht center of the city, and have twice visited a friend, whose honse is located far within its boundaries, and near whose door the Bank omnibuses pass every few minutes. Yet my hotel and my friend's residence are distant from each other nine miles! It takes me two hours to reach him. Paris, whose every quarter I bava explor- j MP,am Frenchman, at is also the su ed, covers a tolerably large " patch" of Prcargo, and the crew are mostly Span- gronnd, but Paris, compared with Loadon, is a mere village. Annt Esther was trying to persuade little Eddy to retire sunset, nmg as an argument that little chickens Went to roost 6t) .- tbe M hn nsj -eo n im w. iu. Aunty tried do more him. argnmenU with and advocating bsma channel, on the 81st May: 1 The 1 Crusader now hoisted English colors and fired a gun to windward, when, - , after some deluy, ll.nl.ark I for ..!. aim proved to be) finally displayed tho French ', flag at the peaks. By this time, however , we were ao near that we were enabled to see that her batches were all closely rev ered over, and at we continued to approuch, we could even distinguish at intervals the peculiarly loatlisomo odor of a crowded slave-ship. Under thest circumstances it was determined to board her, and accord ingly a boat and the English ensign were lowered at the same time, and the Ameri can colors wero hoL.tcd. No sooner did the ' Crusader's' boat leave her side than tht bark hauled down the French colors, and, as we subsequently learned, threw them and her Portuguese papers overbonrd together; so that when she was boarded she had neither papers nor colors, and was confessedly without name or nationality. For a littlo whilo there was a dead si lence on board both ships, though the in creasing strong animouincal African odor placed beyond all doubt the fuct that the M"" uaJ under her batches a cargo of ne- ! Krot'- And now we began to hear n sort 1 . . 1 , .. . ui supprcascu mouiung, wmcii soon swelled into tho unmistakable murmur of many human voices. As our boat reached the side of the bark, aud the officer in charge sprang on the deck, wilh a tremendous shout the hatches were forced open from below, and out burst hundreds, the self lib crated slaves. As they caught siht of the Stars aud Stripes floating so near which no doubt seemed to theso poor wretches like a rainbow of promise they became perfectly frantic with joy. They climbed up all along the rail they bung on the shrouds they clustered liko swarming bets in the r'erJr'u3i wuile roso from sea to sky the wildest acclamations of delight. They dunced, and leaped and waved their arms in the air, and screamed, and yelled in a discordant but pathetic concert. There was ono thing, however, even more touch ing than ull this outcry of barbaric rejoi cing. 'My attention was attracted to a group consisting of somewhat more than a hundred women, withdrawn apart from the shouting and noisy men. Tneir behavior was iu strong contrast with that of the others, and was characteristic of their sex. Eutirely nudo, but innocently unabashed, they sat or knelt in tearful and silent thank fulness. Several of them held infants in their arms, and through their tears, like sunshine from behind a cloud, beamed an expression of tho deepest gratitude and happiness. The men looked as though they bad just becu raised from despair to the most exultant gladness. The scene of confusion on board the bnrk, when tho negroes found themselves released from the accustomed restraint, bullies ull description. They had, of course, ull been kept on a very smull allowance of food and water during the passage. The first use they made of their liberty was lo satisfy their hunger and thirst, which they did by breaking into the bread barrels and water casks, and then running about eating, drinking, dancing and screaming, all ut once. It mattered but little to them what sort of vessels they drank from buckets, boxes and troughs were all brought into requisition. I even saw several fellows, happy and delighted, with a piece of bread in one haud and a wooden spittoon full of muddy water in the other. As soon as their appetites were satisfied, the African fondness for finery began to show itself, and all the loose articles in the ship were employed as personal ornaments. Some fastened belaying pins to their wrists, and some strutted proudly about with cop per ladles hung around their necks. By this time, however, a detachment of marines arrived from the ' Crusader,' and order was at once restored, and organiza tion established. The negroes were cloth ed with pieces of canvas, and the captain, supercargo and crew sent on board the ' Crusader' as prisoners. They made no complaints or remonstrances whatever, bnt surrendered themselves as slavers, without nationality. They stated that tht bark bad no name, and that all their papers had been thrown overboard with the colors. They seemed to bear their loss with philosophic equanimity. Such a contingency had evidently been rt- e-arded bv them aa nart of their risk inrl i 9 j 1 . - they were not unprepared for It. The iards, with a few Frenchmen.

Stark had made tht atutcmrnt that Americans never groaned when woun ded Hi battle. Jl:s stulemeut was cor roborated by other Generals of the Iler- oluliou. He said they always knew by the creams and groans after tho volley, that the Britixh bud the worst of it. Ho des'red to luvt l his put iu print; he thought tht tame power of enduring pain without external manifestation, which existed in the Aborigines, had descended to their successors in tho country. It seemed to be the result of the climate. It existed iu all Americans, even if they were Irishmen, and emigrated to this wheu they wero but two years old. Month extai.. A niouument of marble, with a shaft ten feet high, has been finished in Charleston, South Carolina, to be placed at the bloody fit-Id of Waxhaw's, where Colonel Tarleten, with a doubly superior force, slaughtered nearly a whole regimcut of three hundred and fifty Virgiuiuns, un der Colonel Abraham Buford, after they surrendered. Tho Virginians had left home for the relief of Charleston, but hearing of tho surrender of that city, wero returning when surprised and cut off. It was from this fiendish mnssacre that sprung the A merienn war-cry, "Remember Turleton's quarter." A British historian confesses that at this battle " the virtue of humanity was totally forgotten." Reckless MAimuncs. The New York Tribuuo expresses the opinion that young women in this country marry more reckless than anywhere else. Is there a village of fifty houses in the land where a plausible, well-dressed adventurer, of whom nobody knows anything, cannot marry a girl of spotless character, after a residence of six weeks? Such marriages iu fact all mar riages not based upon iiitimuto knowledge nnd profound esteem, as well as fervent love ure somewhat more repntublo than what is called " Freo Love," and scarcely ono whit less culpable, of peril. Kextickv Baptists. Rev. S.L. Helm, iu tho Western Recorder, estimates the Baptists of Kentucky at not moro than 80,000, of whom 20,000 ore blacks. lie thinks that the denomination iu thut Stute hus not been gaining the lust four or five years in numbers owing to tho tide of emigration westward; but that there lias been great improvements in tho erection of church edifices, schools and colleges, the ed ucation of young ministers, and increased benevolence. Oi.n Hymns. Tho resources of English hymnology ore usually deemed to bo very large, but they do lint compare with those of Germany. A recent collector estimates the number of old hymns in existence iu the Germuu language, at nearly "0,000. It is extraordinary what a large proportion of these are Bound in sentiment, devotional In character, lyric iu form, ond tender in feeling. A.v Editorial Recipe. Tho following is said to be the private recipe of an editor out West: Tukc one pint of whisky, stir it well with one spoonful of whisky; then add another pint or whisky; beat careliilly with a spoon, and keep pouring in whisky. Fill a large bowl with water, nnd mnke the servant sut it out of your reach.

The capitulation of tho Government forces at Palermo has put a very different fuco upon affairs, aud full ac counts of tht revolution as they really oc curred, Immediately found their way Into tht columns of the Sardinian, French, ami English newspapers and camo over to tits United States by a late steamer. Wonder ful feats of arms bo and his compatriots have accomplished astonishing in their success even for Garibaldi. Tho self-denial and magnanimity of the hero wero c:i perfect as his courage. All wero wort! y of tho Washington of Italy. He was, tins account says, sleeping in the open air on n sheep skin, sharing tho hard fare of tliu meanest of bis followers, protecting with fatherly caro the poor Pulermitntis who had lost their nil even wives and children, in tho fury of the Royalists' burnings nnd bombardments, and iiuiilly nobly and hu manely forgiving the minions of the King after their repeated violations of an armis tice. His son, a youth worthy of the he roic father, was u t his sidu suffering ti om wounds and enduring privations for lib erty's sake. Xo wonder then that thu papers on both sides of the Ahiutic are full of his exploits. Such a man is not to bo found in an ago or a century.

If Garibuldi is successful iu the Island of Sicily, without doubt tho Continental por tion of the Kingdom will ulso be liberated; and thus between nine nnd ten millions of Italians will bo 011 the road to better gov ernment. Tho Kingdom of the Two Sici lies moro commonly known us the King dom of Naples, is nearly us largo iu urea as tho State of New York, and contains neurly thrice as many inhabitants. The Continental portion ulono litis nu area of 31,595 square, miles, which the Island 01 Sicily will add ubout one-third ol that un a more to the Kingdom. Tho main land part of the two Sicilies contains, by tlin last ceusus of 18!i0, 0,880,00 inhabitants, while the insular portion has a population of 2,231,030. Palermo, tho chief city ol the Island, hud, in 1857, 200,000 inhabi tants. Tho receipts from various imports in 1850, wero, for tho whole- kingdom 31, 020,300 ducuts. Tho ducat of Naples is not equal to our dollar. TI10 expenses every yenrsiuco 1850 must have gone ninny millions beyond tho receipts. Tho total debt of t Iia country is now more than $1 40, 000,000. But tho resources of the Tw o Sicilies ore so great that under a liberal government the whole debt will soon bo U wiped away. The Islund of Sicily onco belonged to tho house of Savoy. Austria at that timi owned the Islund of Sardinia, and oflered to exchango the last mentioned insular possession for tho first. This was ncci-pted, and thus the Duke of Savoy became the sovereign of an island which gave the name of " Surdinia" to tho Northern Kingdom of Italy. Sardinia hus now dispossessed Austria of Lombardy, and who knows but that the Sardinian Garibuldi will now snatch Sicily from a worse despotism tlmu that of Austriu. A New Law for Postmahtkrs.
