Marims Corrected.-We observe contrariety in
some maxims to another. Pope, the poet has this
line in his Essay on Criticsm "a little learning is dan
gerous thing which often hear repeated
m by those who have but very little of it themselves.
We have also this other maxim" Half loaf is bet
ter than bread" And this certainly true of bread
Is it not likely to be true of knowledge also Try it
in few practical cases: little knowledge Of navi-
CATION is better to the sailor than no knowledge. A
little knowledge of Soils and seasons and cropping,
and Stock is better for the farmer than knowledge.
little knowledge of tailoring is better to the tailor
than no knowledge. A little knowledge of anatomy
is better to surgeon than no knowledge. The truth
is, that much knowledge is the best thing little know
ledge the merit best and knowledge the Worst Of ALL
The line of the poet is good in the sound but bad in
the sense.

Boston, May 8.

A real Vermonter.-A large Wagon, with wheels
standing eight or nine feet in height, attracted the gaze
OF the multitude in of business Streets yeser
day afternoon. The great diameter of the wheels en-
ahies the teamster, with single pair of horses, to
transport load of five tons of merchandise upon his
vehicle, over the mountainous roads between the CT
ty and Montpelier, Vermont. The carriage at lit
tie distance resembles steam engine. A sailor in
red baize shirt surveyed the machine from stem to
stern, and swore that he had been to England and
France, Spain and Portugal, besides making three
whaling voyages but that he had never fallen in with
such queer-rigged craft as this, before.

Repartee-The son of Scotch Marquis, who had
seen much service the Continent, was accosted by
friend in Bondsreet, who facetiously desired that
as hostities over, his whiskers might be put up

Miraculous Voice-A certain musical gentleman,
skilful in his art, but extremely vain of his Abilities
was one day honored by presentation to Louis the
Fourteenth, who, perceiving that he exceedingly

had been so euogized to him? 81 know not, Sire"
replied he, "but | can boast of having a voice with

Long Stories.-A party of knights and others were
at supper one evening at great house in Florence,
and there was at table courier who very great
taiker After supper this began story, and SEEM
ed as II he never would have done with it. A gentle
man OF the house, who had been attending to the COM

by name, and said" Whoever told you this story, did
not tell you the whole of it, How can that be %
said he. Because, replied the other, " he did not
tell you the end.' This COMPOUNDED him, and he was

g o N CT O FANNY.

THY bloom is soft, thine eye is bright,
And rose-buds are thy lips, my Fanny;
Thy glossy hair is rich with light,
Thy form unparagon'd by any:
But thine is not the brief array
of charms which time is sure to borrow,
Which accident may blight to-day,
Or sickness undermine tomorrow.
No-thine is that immortal grace
Which meier shall pass from thy possession,
That moral beauty of the face
Which constitutes its sweet expression;
This shall preserve thee what thou art,
When age thy blooming tints has shaded,
For while thy looks reflect thy heart,
How can thy charms be ever faded!
Nor, Fanny, can love like mine,
With time decay, in sickness falter;
IT'S like thy beauty-half divine,
Born of the soul and cannot alter;

BY j. C. BROOKS.

WAKE, emerald isle of the wave
Fair land of the lofty in mind,
of the lovely, the gallant, the brave,
Break the chains that round thee entwined!
Once more let thy flag be unfurled
In gladness, in honor, and fame;
Once more let thy rumphs resound through the world
Which hath witnessed the night of thy shame.
Hath the sun of thy freedom eternally set
Mo- its beacon shall guide thee to victory yet!
Thy night of oppression shall end,
The dawn of thy glory shall rise,
And the star of thy hope shall ascend
To its zenith again, in the skies
Thy bards shall awaken the song,
Sc The emerald island is free;''
The breezes of heaven shalt wait it along
Across the blue of the sea;
And the exile who wanders far the main,
Shall lift up his voice and unite in the strain.
Why waves not thy banner O'NeiI?
There is rust the sword of thy fathers
Let thy warcry resound like the thunderbot's neal
When the storm in its mightiness gathers
Why still doth the desert weed wave
Ger the desoate halls of O'Connor,
Where the minstrel of yore sang the praise of the
Their glory, their pride, and their honor?
Let Neils and O'Connors awake in their might
And strike for green Erin, for freedom, and right
Yes, desolate land! thou shalt wake
To the proud march of glory again:
The storm of thy vengeance shall break
Like the hurricanes wrath DER the nain
Then when battle is rendng the sky,
And tyranny quakes on the throne,
The day-star OF freedom shall brighten thy sky,
And triumph and fame be thy own:
Then the scenes of thy annals shall equal again
Clontarfs purple wave, and red ossory's plain!
What echo resounds on the hills?
What fame lights the heaven afar.
IT'S the war-cry of Erin that thrills!
Ills the bale-fire enkndled by war!
There is rushing of man and of steed;
There is clangor of hoof and of sword;
WHO battle IS urging his coursers in speed
The vial of ruin is poured!
Hosts sink in that slumber which waken no more,
And the flowers of earth are empurpled with gore!
But the clouds in their rage pass along
The thunders are ulled into sleep;
Say, what is that proud and melodous song
Which floats DER the breast of the deep!
IT'S the anthem of triumph, which tells
That Erin hath burst from her shame!
That the morning Of glory her darkness dispels,
And herads the day of her fame!
Her sons have not bled round her banner in vain,
For Erin, green Erin, is freedoms again!
