HYing in Sleep.--The following, from Miss

and striking:
Mr.. Arundel THE uncle Of the heroine) had

beautiful, renovating sleep-and Emily sat down
by his bedside. The love which bends over the
sleeping is, save in its sorrow, like the love
which bends over the dead-so deep. so solemn!
Suddenly he opened his eyes. but without any
thing of the starting return to consciousness with
which people generally awake-perhaps her APP
pearance harmonized with his dream. Without
sneakius, but with look of extreme fondness,
he took her hand, and, still holding it, slept
again. -,
Emily felt the grasp tighten and tighten till
the risidity was almost painful: she had drawn
the curtains lest the sun, now come round to that
side of the house. should shine too powerfully; a
strange awe stole over her in the gloom; she
could scarcely in IFS present position, discern her
uncle,s face, and she feared to move The grasp

ONG OF THE RHENISH PROVINCES.
The Rhine is born in the winter storm.
Upon a bed Of snow;
He's sucked by the avalanche,
Dissolved in summers glow;
He's Graded on the iron ledge
OF Constance craggy wall,
And rocked to sleep On the roaring steep
or wild Schauf hausen's fall.
With such Sire what wonder then
Our maids are fair, our sons are men.
Like proud conqueror advancing,
Triumphantlv he rolls
The food his chariot, aud the waves,
His steeds Of foam, controls.
Before his brow the forests bow,
Attendant on his state,
On either hand, giant band,
The chained mountains wait
Like captive kings-their sentinels
4 thousand crested Citadeis.
Johannisberg and Rudesheim,
With grape besmeared hand.
All reeking from their fragrant toll,
His proud cupbearers stand;
The tribute of thousand keeis
lie takes with high disdain,
And, borne before his rushing wheels,
He sweeps it to the main.
Such are thy triumphs. Father Rhine.
Who dare to boast such glorious line:
The Switzer on thy native mountains,
Thine eldest born is he,
He drinks thy FIRST free bubbling fountains,
He drinks. and he is free.
Would that thine after ampler waters,
Descending to the plain,
llsuch their first ennobling spirit,
Like virtue could retain;
''ris pity sure thy bounJless waves.
Should e'er be soilcd bv lips Of slave.
Slaves! who arc slaves: Bring me my sword !!
Have we not fought and bied?
Yes! triumphed too 'gainst Freedom fees
Behold our wounds are red!-
This biade--what dirns it to the hiii?
Life blood-'tis Of the Frank
We rose and broke their yoke accurst,
And gaincd-that suleu clauk-
Could it be chains! Say hath our aid
Iu Freedoms cause been thus repaid!
Rhine. I would pledge thee in cup
Of thine own native growth:
But my hand tremb!es as raise
The goblet to my mouth;
II seems as If by fetter'd limbs
The wine press had been trod;
To me, at least, il has the taste
Of friends, OF brothers' blood,
And broken faith-ln such curst wine,
may not, dare not, pledge thee, Rhine!
Sweep on, thou dark majestic river!
Ten thousand years the roar
Has sweied as nov; aud shall for ever,
Till time shall be no more,
If,hen the hand that first desgn'd,
And sent thee on thy course,
In depth Of tiny subinity,
Recall thee to thy source,
Thin earthly race of glory rum
Tell not the deeds thy kings have done.

Commerce of the Uest.-The extent oi the commerce carried on in steam boats on the Western waters, may be imagined from the following facts:-.. "from 1911, when the first Western steanl-beat was launched, to the spring of 1851, there had been employed on these waters 402 steam-boats, of which 2aO were in use last year, and I82 not in existence. Of these, G6 were worn out, y snagged, I6 burnt, 3 run down by other boats, 1 or 6stoyc by ice, and bars, rocks, &c. and 30 destroyed b, causes not exactly known; less than G, boats have been building or contracted for within the present year."
 The rapid increase of commerce which these facts indicate, is, perhaps, unparalleled in the history of the world. # isii acsc=ssc bc m received asss the hss::s of prospective calculation, the result Will stagger the confidence of creduli- ty itself; and those whose anticipatlons of Western greatness have derided as utopan, will find that even they are lett in arrear, and that the daring wing of hope itself has fallen far short of the probable reality.

Dermoad-Our readers will.no doubt, be pleased with the following extracts from the inaugural address of c oycrnor Palmer, to both branches of the legisla- fure of Vermont. The topics selected are highly important, and should meet that consideration to which they are en- titled. It will be perceived that Gov crnor Gilmer, in his last Message, has called the attention ofthe legislature of Vcorgia to similar points.
 "The power, which und CT existAr ,aws the creditor claims and exercises over the body of his debtor, has always appeared to me to be inconsistent with the mild policy or our laws and the free and liberal spir;t of our institutions, and especially at yari. ance with that clause of our constitution which provides that < the person of tbe debtor. when there is not strong presnmn. ton of fraud, shall not be continued in pflson after delivering up all his estate for ,he use of his creditors" It ia true that oltlculties exist in regulating the details oI system calculated to secure to ail the last rights belonging to each; but 1t ia he 's'-svsd that ae " isdom os tse legislature

 Remarkable Occurrenee.--A letter from q SubscriberinSoutllampton coul.- ty, Va. dated 2ith inst. states that re cently, within the period ofa few weeks. and in the compass of a few miles, in that county, the following deaths have
 taken FFll;scs: Gap. Capt. Thes Gray, agets Q; Nlr. Ro. Kicks, aged 85; Mr. Dixon Kitchen, aged so; Mr. Andrews, 75, John Morris, aged %; Mrs. Mary Boy kip, aged 80; Mrs. Sarah Draper, aged VI; and Mrs. Mnmiord, aged % years. The ages of 8 individuals making an aggregate of 665 years, and an average of 63i years each, and what is more surprising, every ono of them continued active and enjoying good health 10 the moment of the attack which brought them to their end. We doubt if tho record of mortality any where can pros dute go singular an occurrence. The instance of longevity which it presents are of themselves remarkable, but their occurrence so nearly together, and within so smallaspace, make them wor- thy of particular notice. The persons are stated to have been very respecta- ble citizens of that county.

Cottoss Crops.- The expectation oi picking an average crop of Cotton it seems will not be realized by the piar- tcrs of tias section of Alabama. The shortness ot lie crop becomes every day more preceptible; and many. who short time since, were Gattered with the idea os reaping something ike ar equivalent for their labor, are flow un, der the impression that they will not pick more than half crop; and in some instances, not more than 3OOlbs. to the acre will be obtanied. This com plaint, so far as we have information. extends over this ard the adjoining counties, and probably over the whole of North Alabama. The last year, ow- ing to the Protraeted drought, produced a short crop-but the almost incessaut rains of the past summer, seems 10 have lad more serious effect upon this great staple, y continuing is sfowtii, 10 late period, and preventing itsopcn- Ing, q; fhe usual season.
