HELsrNGBURG, April 26.-AccoHing
to accounts from the opposite coast, there
has been serious recontre between the
Prussians and French at Goldberg. 1t
seems that the latter wished to pass thro'
that place with view To some Interior
operations, but probably with the inten-
ton Of occupying it when once in posses
sion their transit was therefore refused
by general Butcher; Ohe same who
fought so desperately at Lubbock, when
the French entered it after the battle OF
Jeua.); recourse was then had to arms,
and the result was 900 killed and 500
wounded on the side Of the French ; the
attempt to force passage was then given
nm the loss OF the Prussians is not men
toned. all the French troops which
were in the environs of Hamburger have
received orders to set out for MAGGIE

ODE TO GOOD HUMOR.

MAID Of the sweet engaging smile!
Companion of our hours ofpeace
Whose soothing arts can care beguile,
And bid discordant passions cease:
Virtue in thee her favorite halls,
And dwells where'er thy sway prevails;
Life's fairest charms to thee we owe,
The source of pure delight-the healing
balm of woe
Can rapture thrill congenial hearts,
Entwin'd by Friendships wreath divine3
If aught of bliss its bond imparts,
The praise, enchanting maid, be thine
Can we soft attractive grace
In the mild beams of beauty trace !?
IT'S only when with thee c0mbin'd,
Her pow'rs can justly claim the homage
of the mind.
When the first pair, in Eden's Bow'r,
Enjoy'd the fav'ring smile OF Heaven,
Thy influence brighten'd every flower,
And blessed the balmy breeze Of even.
And since in loves cOnnubial ties,
We best can learn thy sweets to prize,
| In kind affections fond domain,
Where still unruffled joys denote thy
golden reign.
DepflV u vi tHtt, uOcS LdftH possosS
One charm to bind lis here below1
In vain may pomp and power caress,
Or wealth its glittering gifts bestow,
Lost is their worth when thou art fled,
Then discord lifts her sceptre dread,
And pallid envy, care and strife,
Unite their dark'ning clouds to veil the
noon of life
But when thy welcome steps appear,
This dreaded train of evils fly?
Gay chcerfulness is ever near,
And calm content with placid eye,
And all that to the soul endears,
This dreary wilderness of years;
| All that our happiest hours employ,
Where beats the willing heart to transport
and to joy.
Where'er tread this varied scene,
! Good humor on my path attend!
Alike when pleasure smiles serene,
Or pain and grief my bosom rend,
Do thou infuse thy sovereign power,
In youths gay morn, in manhood's hour,
Or, when in age, ife's parting ray
But family fingers low-ere yet it fades
away!
