THE EVENING STAR. A Dark AND GLOOMY Brinat.—Gioom was on her countenance and upon his. The man whose holy office it was to unite them im bonds never to be torn asunder, stood likeaa execa- tloner before the bride and bridegroom, and | they—the pair waiting to be blessed—bent down their heads like criminals before him. Ia yain | Might theeye wander about the assembly in | search of sunshine upon & single countenance; ail wes dreary, black—and assistants as wel &S attendants at the ceremony were alike shrouded in one derk, overshadowiug pall of raviess glcom. Ah! joyful should ever be the linking of young hearts together, and terrible must be the feeling of those around whom the shadows of fate are gathering even tthe thres- hold, which sheuld blaze in all their gorgeous coloring Of bepe and promise. Yetthe same sembre shade,the same gloom ct hue, the depth clderkness was seated upon every feature. No sudden biashing of the rose, no swiftsuc- ceeding of the lily, notitful Shanges telling of youth{ul possion, and warm, bright hope, were seen on that bride’s cheek: but one unva- rying spade of funeral possessed tha groom, posseseed the preacher—in fact, they were ail possessed. Reeders, they were darkies. Apvice TO JouN Betr.—The Opinione Nat- tonale, alter stating that the doctrine of “peace- at-a price” is selfish, immoral and absurd, reads the following lesson to John Rall: “You declare vou won't fight, and stick that declaration in your hat by way of & cockade. See what happens. Yon sign a treaty—it is torn up: you intercede in behalfof Poland—it is ext-rminsted; you protect Denmark—it is erushed: your anger produces asmile; your threats derisio ohn Ball, won ami, why do you, who are perfectly at home with figures, keep up & fleet and army if you don’t mean to use them! Suppress your fleet and army, honest John—yonr credit cannot possibly fall lower in Eutope than itis now—and you will have economized from seven to eight hundred millions. With that comfortably sum, you will be able to weave cotton night-caps for all the long ears in the universe; and ifthe bar- bariens should attack you, you can always put off their attacks by paying tribute.” A SINGULAR Si@uT.—A curious sight was presented tor some hours this morning along the banks of k River, in the Park, from Mulberry street bridge down to Daniel’s dam. Owing to some cause not fully explained, the fish rose in swarms to the surface of the river, thrusting their heads out and grasping as if for air: and crowds of people, old women with long poles having baskets attacked, men, girls and boys, all armed with scoop nets, poles with bags at the end, or some other con- trivance for catching them, were busy landing the fish. Large pickerel, suckers, eel, &c., were secured by the bushel,—a Godsend to poor folks in these times of high prices, ifthe fish prove wholesome. What caused this phe- nomenon? The unusually thick muday water after these rains?—oe some poisonous stuff into the stream from the factories and breweries above!—Hartford Times, Aug. 9. ys uae A 7 The drinkers of tea, coffee, chocolate and other harmless stimulants contribute £5,073,933 to the English revenue; the consumers of spir- ifs, wine and malt liquors contribute £20,020,550, or nearly four times as mach. —o OFFICIAL.
