The rltssiral mythology contains many beautiful fables. The blessed isles of the west, where the gardens of the Ilesperidea lay, were probably the dream of that hap- py Eden where the first parente dwelt “The Ilesperidvs, or ‘The Western Maidens,’ were three celebrated nymphs. They are said to have been tho daughters of Night, and to hare had no,father. — Their home was ‘beyond the bright ocean.' Wtlen the bridal of Jupiter and Juno took plae<', all the deities came, bearing nuptial presents for the bride ; among them came the Goddcsa of earth, bringing with her branches haring golden apples growing thereon. Juno, being greatly pleased with the branches of golden fruit, begged of Earth to plant them in her gardens, which extended as fir as Mount Atlas. Tho re- quest wss granted, and the Hesperides.or * The Western Maidens,’ were set to watch and guard the trees. Rut, alas! the Iruit was 100 tempting, and, like our first mo- ther, they put forth their hands and pluck- ed for themselves. Juno was so enraged at this act, that she sent a great dragon to guard the precious fruit. Hercules was sent by Eurysthencs to bring some of this golden fruit. On his way in quest of it, he came to the river Eridanus, and inqui- red of some nymphs where the apples were to ho obtained. They directed bini to Nereus, whom he found asleep; him he bound and held fast till he told where the golden apples were. Having obtained this information, he si t out on bis jour- ney. He visited Egypt, roamed through Arabia, over the mountains of Lybia —be then reached the eastern course of the ocean,which he crossed in the radiant cup of the Sun-Cod. He nos’ came to where Prometheus 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 the apples, but to send Atlas after them, and, in the meantime, support the heavens in his stead. Allas, accordingly, went for the 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 of the heavens while ho put a pad upon the head 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 far the punishment* inflicted in Neapolitan dungeons, if the details of the “ shower- ing" of one desperado there, recently, arc true. It was Tom Kelly, a noted ruffian, who suffered. It is said he only took ad- wos recaptured, and the keeper, actuated by revenge, punished him beyond reason. Kelly was placed naked in a bath, his feet, hands and head being firmly pin- ioned. The water was allowed to trickle down bis face and warm body for a few minutes before the haHTlell upon bis head. At length it fell. Tom bore it well, nota shiver of the legs, not a muscular move- ment of the bands or fingers, not a single cry of distress, although he was actually being drowned for about five minutes. “ You bear it well, Tom,” said one of the keepers, after the first five minutes had elapsed, and time had been given him to recuperate. “It's awful,” was Tom’s reply ; “ but I can’t ask for mercy.” Down came the water again, and for five min- utes longer the gurgling sounds of a strangling man were audible, and, when he was exhausted, the cord was let up and the water stopped. A few minutes of release was granted, and down came the water again, and the scene was more terrible Ilian the worst execution. At length, congestion of the brain was threat eued, and a “ hiss” from tbo physician brought the third scene to a close, ile had been fifteen minutes under the shower but had twenty-five minutes of the same to endum; and for the next forty days the same punishment will bo meted out to him, unless he dies under the hands of the keeper. It is described as an awful spectacle to witness'tills man under the bath. Every muscle contracted and be- came corded ; sometimes the hands would become convulsed, and every nerve strain- ed, when there would follow a relaxation. After Kelly had been showered, and taken to his cell, the keeper turned round, and with a malignant smile, exclaimed “ We’ll aubdue him.” Outsiders, from that single expressive sentence, may guess at the rule in Sing Sing. Home Affections.—The heart has affec- tions that never die. The rough rubs of the world, its deceitfulness and treachery, the neglect of friends whom we trusted, their false-hearted ness and hollow profes- sions cannot obliterate them. They are the memories of home—only home. All other memories may grow dim, all other affections may be rooted from the heart, the warmest loro may die awav, the brightest hopes may take wings, but the affection and lore with which we regard our homo can never, no never, be oblit- erated. There is the old tree under which the light-hearted boy has swung many n day; yonder is the stream in which he learned to swim ; there is the house in which he knew a parent's protection nay, there is the room in which he romped with brother and sister, long since, per- chance, laid in the yard in which he ton, soon must be gathered, overshadowed by yonder old church, whither, with a joy- ous troup like himself, he iiad often fol- lowed his parents to worship God. Even the old school house, associated in youth- ful days with thoughtsof tasks, now coma to bring pleasing remembrance of many occasions that called forth some generous exhibition of noble trails in human char- acter. There ia where be learned to feel some of bis first emotion*. There, per- haps, ho first met the being who, by her love and tenderness in lite, has made home for himself happier than that which his childhood knew. His spirit yearns for all these, and lie may be separated from them forever, yet memory brings them often before him, and to them are his heart's best affections given, when worldly 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—by far the largest majority be had received in any State in the South. A fellow that doesn't benefit the world by his life, does it by his death. Oaavral JMk«n>i Wlft-Btr U«« |lt«ri-H«r Tank. • The new rollinone of Mr. Parfon’s “Life of Andrew Jackson" ha* the following account of the General's wife : On Monday evening, the evening before the twenty-third, her disease appeared take a decided turn for the better and she then so earnestly entreated the Gene- ral to prepare for the fatigues of the mor- row, by having a night of undisturbed sleep, that he consented, at last, to go into an adjoining room and lie down upon n sofa. The doctor was still in the house. Hannah and George were to sit up with their mistress. At 0 o’clock the General bade her good night, went into the next room, and took off his coat, preparatory to lying down, lie had been gone but about live minutes. Mrs. Jackson was then, for the first time, removed from her bed, that it might be re-arranged for the night. While sitting in a chair, sup- ported in the arms of Hannah, she uttered a long, loud, inarticulate cry, which ivas immediately followed by a rattling noise in the throat. Her head fell forward up- on Hannah's shoulder. She never spoke nor breathed again. • There was a wild rush into the room of husband, doctor relatives, friends, and servants. The General assisted to lay her upon the bed. “ Illecd her,” he cried. No blood flowed from her arm. “ Tri- tile temple, doctor.” Two drops stained her cap, and no more followed. “ It was long before he would believe her dead. Ho looked eagerly into her face, as it still expecting to see signs of returning life. Her hands and feet were cold. There could be no doubt, then, and they prepared a table for laying her out. \\ r ilh a choking voice, the General said : “‘Spread four blankets upon it. If she docs come to, she w ill lie so hard on the table.’ “He sat all night long In the room by her side, with his face in his hands, ‘ grieving,’ *aid Hannah, and occasionally looking into the face, and feeling the heart and pulse of the form so dear to him. Mojor Lewis, who had been immediately sent for, arrived just before daylight, and found him still there, nearly speechless and wholly incomo’able. He sat in the room nearly all the next day, the picture of despair. It was only with great diffi- culty that be was persuaded to take a little 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 a mistus and a mother too ; and more a mother than a mistus. And we say the same of old master, for he was more a father to us than a master, and many’s the time we've wished him back again, to help us out of our troubles.’ ‘‘The remains of Mrs Jackson still lie in 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, an open summer house—a small while dome supported by pillars of white marble. The tablet that covers the remains of Mrs. Jackson reads as follows; “ ‘Hero lie the remains of Mrs. Rachel Jackson, wife of President Jackson, who died the 22d of Dec. ’2B, aged 61 Her face was fair, her person pleo*ing, her temper amiable, her heart kind ; she de- lighted in relieving the wants of her fel- low creatures, and cultivated that divine pleasure by the most liberal and unpre- tending methods ; to the poor ahe was a benefactor ; to the rich an example ; to the wretched a comfort ; to the prosper- ous an ornament ; her piety went hand in hand with her benevolence, and she thanked her Creator for being permitted to do good. A being so gentle and so virtuous, slander might wound but could not dishonor. Even death, when he tore her from the arms of her husband, could but transport her to the bosom of her God.’” Tiihii.i.iko Incident—Recoonition of a Body Forty Years After Biriau— Not many yearn since, certain miners who were working far under ground, came up- on the hody of a poor fellow who had perished in the suffocating pit forty years before. Some chemical agent to which the body had been subjected—an agent prepared in the laboratory of nature —had effectually ai rested the progress of decay. They brought it to the surface, and for a while, till it crumbled away through ex- posure to the atmosphere, it lay an image of a tine sturdy young man. No convul- sion had passed over the face in death—- the features were tranquil ; the hair was black as jet. No one recognised the face ; a generation had grown up since the day on which the miner went down his shaft for the last time. But a tottering old woman who hod hurried from her cot on hearing the news, came up, and she knew again the face which through all these years she had never quite forgot The poor miner was to have been her husband the day after that on which he died. They were rough people, of course, who were looking on—- a liberal education and refined feelings are not deemed essential to the man whose work is to get up coal or even tin —but there were no dry eyes when the grey-headed pilgrim cast herself on the youthful corpse and poured out to its deaf ear many words of endearment un- used for forty years. It was a touching contrast—the one so old, and the other so young. They had both been young these long years ago, but time had gone on with the living and stood still with the dead.— Frazer'i Magazine. The CnrcimioN.— Tertullian says that the crucifixion occurred on the 251 h of March. Lsctantius gives the same day. St. Augustin asserts the same in at least three places. St. John Chrysostom says the same in his sermon on the nativity of St. John the Baptist, and St. Gregmy of Tours the same ; and.our venerable Bede the same. St. Thomas of Aquinas, St. Antoninas, Platina and Usuard are quo- ted for the same opinion by Snarer., who agrees with them. The Church seems to favor this opinion in her Martyrology, by appointing March 25th for the feast ol the good thief called St Dismas.
