There is a melancholy, no doubt by which
the intellect is expanded, while the heart /.
made better; a tempered sadness, sober ear
nestness, which by occasionally recalling us to
the contemplation ofan ideal world, softens and
refreshes those feelings which habitual inter.
course with society is apt to harden. This Is
that melancholy which isthe true source ofpoet-
zeal inspiration, because while il refnes our feel
ings, and enlarges the sphere Of our conceptions,
it leaves us as active as ever in the exercise of
our social duties, and thus preserves that ment.
al equilibrium, that balance Of the intellect, the
feelings, and the fancy, which is the character
istic Of the highest order ofgenius.- differ.
ent ARE its effects, when it is carried to excess.
Excessive melancholy. like excessive levity, is a
selfish feeling.
Itrenders US solitary, suspicious, queruIous,
and deadens our sympathy for others, while it
increases our sensibilty for ourselves. Those
social energies which should connect us with our
fellow-men, grow indolent and dormant; the ac-
tive duties Of life are forgotten in the passive
gradually we lose our relish for the common and
natural feeling, the simple mirth and tears that
make up the mass Of human life, and learn 10
substitute glaring and distorted portraits, which
are the reflection Of our own morbib peculiari-
ties, for those simpler forms of universal truth
and beauty, which all hearts acknowledge at
once and admire. 1852.

DIAMOND MINES.

The high value attached to diamonds does not
depend so much on their beauty and hardness,
as on the great scarcity, and the iabour and ex-
pense necessary in procuring them. Hitherto
they have been observed in the torrid zone n
lone, and Brazil is the only part of the Americas
in which they have been found. The historical
account of their discovery in that country is as
follows.
Near the capital Of the territory Of serro do
Frio, flows the river Milho Verde, where il was
the custom to dig for gold, or rather to extract
it from the aluvial soil The miners, during
their search for gold, found several diamonds,
which thsy were induced to lay aside in conse-

sALT MINES ar cRAcow.

I These celebrated EXCAVATIONS are about five
miles distant from the city Of Craeow, in small
town named Wielicza, which is entirely under.
mined, the cavities reaching to a considerable
extent beyond its limits The length of the
! great mine, from east TO west is six thousand
feet its breadth, from north to south, two tho,i-
sand, and its greatest depth eight hundreds but
the veins Of salt are not limited to this extent,
the depth and length ofthem, from east to west;
being yet unknown, and their breadth only hith.
erto determined. There are at present ten
shafts, but not = single spring has been discov.
cred throughout the extent, of the mine.
In descending to the bottom. the visitor is
surprised to find subterraneous commonwealth,
consisting of many families, who have their pc.
cular laws and policy. Here are likewise pub
lie roads and carriages, horses being employed
to draw the salt to the mouth of The mine, where
it is taken up by engines These horses, when
once arrived at their destination, never more see
the light Of the sun, and many of the people
seem buried alive in this strange abyss, having
been born there, and never stirring out; while
others are not denied frequent opportunities of
breathing the fresh air in the fields, and enjoying
the surrounding prospects. The subterraneous
passages, or galleries, are very spacious, and 10
many ofthem chapels are hewn out ofthe rock
salt. In these passages crucifxes are set up,
toBctner WIN tnc hIiaBes OF balntSp peiOfe WnlCn
a light is kept constantly burning. The places
where the salt is hewn out and the cavities
whence it has been removed, are called cham
bers, in several of which where the water has
stagnated, the bottoms and sides are covered
with very Neutrality-suspicious. Of thousands Of salt
crystals, lying one on the other, and many of
them weighing half pound and upwards.--
when candles are placed before them, the nu-
merous rays of light reflected by these crystals
emit surprising lustre.
In several parts Of the mine, huge columns of
salt are left standing, to support the rock; and
these are very fancfully ornamented. But the
most curious part, in the inhabited part, or sub.
terraneous town, is a statue, which is considered
by the immured inhabitants, as the actual trans
mutation Of Lots wife into pillar of salt; and,
in proportion as this statue appears either dry
or moist, the state Of the weather above ground
is inferred. The wIndings in this mine are so
numerous and intricate, that the workmen have
frequently lost their way; and several, whose
lights have been extinguished, have thus per-
ished. The number of miners to whomit gives
employment, is computed az between four and
five hundred; but the whoieamount Of the men
employed in it is about seven bundled.

.rHE uNKNoMN DEAD.

Before the discovery Of America by Colum-
bus, among many tokens indicative of the exis-
tence Of another continent, DR.. Robertson mem
tons tie following; "Canes of an enormous size
had been floating on the waves, which resem-
bied those described by Ptolemy as productions
peculiar to the East Indies. After course Of
westerly winds, trees torn up by the roots we're
often driven upon the coasts Of the Azores; and
at one time the bodies Of two men with singti-
lar features, resembling neither the inhabitants
Of Europe nor Africa, were cast ashore there"
Ye dead of an unknown distant land,
What do you here on our sea-girt strandl
Have the wild waves torn you from your home
In world like ours, or do ye come
From Oceans cavern'd bedl
is the hope Of the ventuTous seaman true,
That points to far coasts shadowy blue,
Ger painless seas, whose pillows lie
Dark as the shores offuturityl
Awake, and say, ye Dead!
We have seen the tall majestic cane
Borne PROSTATE on the heaying main;
And trees up.rent by the western blast.
The rolling tides Of our isles have cast
These shew of verdant bowers.
But ye, though your features bear no trace
of kindred with our fairer race,
We tell US Of breathing sentient forms
Haunting those groves DER the oceans storms
ofhumau griefs like ours.
Awake, awake!---But those dusk forms lay
Cold silent things in the SUMS warm ray,
Wound in the coils Of their long black hair,

- -'lSs.z LUCY,s GRAVE.
Far away Ger the turbulent wave,
Far away from this soft azure sky,
The zephyrs around the sad grave
Of my Lucy at eyentide sigh,
Full oft to that grave, when on high
The pale moon looks pensive and clear,
On the light wings Of fancy fly,
And shed DER my Lucy tear.
The same moon looks down on the place
Other placid and peaceful repose,
And the sun. whenretiring apace,
His parting beam over il throws, w
The tall summer grass on it grows,
Gently waving when light winds arise, -
And the nght.hawk. al evenings sweet close,
Hoyers round It and plaintively cries.
And there, DER my loy'd Lucy's grave,
In battle the thunder clouds meet,
And round it the wintry winds rave,
And the hurricanes dismally beat;
Yet thy slumber, my Lucy, is sweet
As the spring flowers that DER thee bloom,
And as silent and soft thy retreat,
AS the light snow that falls on thy tomb.
Yes, my Lucy, far off is thy grave
Frsm the home Of thy infantine glee,
But tho thou art Ger the wide wave,
Thou art oft times remembered by NEE
For cold must my young bosom be
Toforget thy affection and care,
And those virtues and graces in thee
THAT made thee beloved every where.
But thy spirit is flown to the skies,
To those regions from misery free,
That are not for the brave or the wise,
But the pure and the humble like theeS
And the thought is consoling to me
Thou art gone to that happier sphere,
For life journey is rough rs the sea
And embittered with many tear.
Fare thee well then, my Lucy, farewell,
Long shall peace linger round thy last home,
while the night-hawk above seems to tell
Other woe at thy premature doom
The spring flowers shall over thee bloom
The zephyrs at evening shall sigh
And the moon beams flow down to thy tomb
From their beautiful fount in their sky.
And the Brandywine near thee shall flow
Romantic and wild as Of yore;
And at night when the winds cease to blow,
Thy requiem shall be its deep roar.
Fare-thee-wel. my lov'd Lucy, once more,
leng and a fervent farewell,-
May we meet, when my journey is DER,
In the land where the purified dwell.
