THE HILLS.


The hills tho everlasting hillsp
How peerlessly they rise,
Like Earth's gigantic sentinels
Discoursing in the skies,
Hail Natures Storm proof fortresses,
BY Freedoms children trod;
Hail! We invulerable walls
The masonry of God!
When the dismantlcd pyramids
Shall blend with desert dust,
When every temple made with hands
Is faithless to its trust,
Ye shall not stoop your Titan crcsts-
Magnificent as now
Till your Almighty Architect
In thunder bids you bowl
love the torrents strong and fierce,
That to the plain ye fling,
Which gentle flowrs drink at their goal,
And eagles at their spring;
And when arrested at their speed
BY winters wand Of frost,
The brilliant and fantastic forms
In which their waves are looscd.
Glorious you are, when Moons fierce beams
Your naked SUBMITS smile,
AS DER ye days great lamp hangs pois'd
In cloudless crysolite;
Glorious, when DER We sunset clouds
Like broidered curtains lilo
Sublime, when through dim moonlight, looms
Your special majesty.
/ love your iron-sinewed race
Have shared their rugged fare
The thresholds of whose eyre homes
Look out on boundless air:
Bold hunters, who from highest cliffs
The wild goats trophies bring,
And Great their bonnets with the plumes
Of your aerial king
love the mountain maidens-
Their steps elastic spring
Is light as if some viewless bird
Upbuoyed them with. its wing;
Theirs is the wild, unfettered grace
That art hath never spoiled,
And theirs the healthful purity
That fashion hath not cooled.
Mountains dwell not with ye now,
To climb ye, and rejoice
And round me boometh as write,
A crowded city's voice;
But oft in watches of the night,
When sleep the turmoil stills,
My spirit seems to walk abroad
Among ye, mighty hills!

The Guillotne.-A correspondent of the
N. Y. Commercial Advertiser thus de-
scribes the instrument with which Fieschi
and his accomplices were beheaded short
time ago in Paris.
Conceive of scaffold Is by 80 feet
square, and six or eight feet in elevation.
Between the centre and one side of 1t stands
frame much like an ordinary door, only
not so wide. The two upright posts of this
frame are grooved on the ak, as it is call
ed, which is rather an immense cleaver, not
exactly horizontal, but making an angle with
the horizon. By means of pulleys and
cords this AK is drawn up to the top of the
frame.-The convict is stationed precisely
his length in front of it, with his face to-
wards the horrible machine. A plank or
board stands up before him which reaches
nearly to the lower part of the neck. TO
that board he is quickly dashed by the execu-
toner. In an instant the plank, moved by
the machinery, tits over, bringing the con-
vict down into horizontal position with his
breast, or rather his belly resting on it and
his head between the two upright posts Of
the machine.
In another instant the AK descends upon
the back of his neck, with noise which
would lead you to believe that it does moi
weigh less than sixty pounds. Of course
the head is severed in the twinkling of al
eye! The executioner picks it up anC
throws it into basket, and long with it places
the body. This is the famous guillotine, al
instrument of death, which certainly show.
some advance in civilization, for it make,
death as easy as a violent one is likely ever
to be. This famous instrument it is said
was invented by French physician, abou
the commencement of the first revolution
1t is further said, with what truth know moi
that the inventor of it lost his own life, il
the revolutionary fury, by the instrument o
hisown invention.

Female SOciety.-You know my opinion
Of female Society. Without it we should de-
generate into brutes. This observation ap-
piles with tenfold force to young men, and
those who are in the prime of manhood.
For, after acertain time of life, the literary
man makes shift ia poor one grant) to
do without the society of ladies. To a
young man nothing is so important as a
spirit of devotion (next to his Creator) to
some amiabie and virtuous woman, whose
image may occupy his heart, and guard it
from the pollution which besets it on all
sides. Nevertheless, trust that the fond
ness for the company of ladies may not rob
you of the time which ought to be devoted
to reading and meditation on your profess
sion; and above all, that it may not acquire
for you the appellation of Dangler-in itself
bordering on the contemplate, and serious
ly detrimental to your professional charac-
ter. A cautious old squaretoes might have
no objections to employing sucha one at the
bar, who would perhaps be shy of introducing
such one into his family, in case he had a
pretty daughter, or niece or sister; though
all experience shows, that of all male inha-
bitants, the dangler is the most harmless to
the ladies, who quickly learn with the intui-
tive sagacity of the sex, to make con-
venience of him, while he serves for butt
also. Rely upon it that to love a woman as
mistress" although delicious delirum, an
intoxication far surprising that of Cham
paigne, is altogether unessential, nay PERM
ciOus, in the choice of q wife which young
man ought to do in his sober senses-choos-
ing her as Mrs. Primrose did her wedding
gown, for qualities that swear WE'LL" am
persuaded, that few love matches are happy
ones. One thing at least is true, that il
matrimony has its cares, celibacy has nc
pleasure. A Newton, or mere scholar
may find amusement in study; man Of
literary taste receive in books a powerful
auxiliary, but a man must have a bosom
friend. and children around him, to cherish
and support the dreariness Of old age
Randolph.

Absence Of mind.-This curious quality
of mental abstraction seems to be growing
more and more upon our citizens, if we may
credit the number of deplorable accidents
which are related by the papers to have re-
suited from it of late. We all have heard
of the man who, in fit of absence of mind
went up stairs, put his wash-bowl into bed,
and threw himself out of the window. Ano-
Their fellow, most probably one of his relatives
for they say that the habit runs in families
was retiring for the night, and SO far for.
got himself as to put his pantaloons into
bed, and hang himself over the back of a
chair, where he was found next morning,
sound asleep, with a crease in his back,
which he has never been able to get out
But the most extraordinary, and the best, is
one which has been going the rounds of the
newspapers, and originated from the Boston
Transcript. 1t occurred one Thursday
night, at the Quackenbog hotel, and was at
tended with the most DISASTROUS, and never
to-be-too. much regretted circumstances
C B, Esq. on retiring to rest, in a
state of betweenity, put his boots into the
bed, and placing his neck in the jack, pulled
his head of.
A still later if not so interesting an item
of intelligence, in regard to this unpleasant
affection, we believe, is the following:-"A
man in crowd, being bit by a musquito,
very leisurely stopped down and scratched
his neighbor's leg, remarking, at the same
time, that though the pain of the bite was
considerable, the pleasure of scratching am
ply paid for it."-Morning Neacs.

Encounter betceen Bull and Locon'o-
tire.-As a locomotive was passing along
the track of a rail road near Coatsville,
Penn, bull that had broken from its pen,
made desperate onset on it. The con-
cussion killed the bull on the spot, and his
carcase spushed along some distance be-
fore the engine could be stopped. The
cars were thrown off the track but no one
Injured.

Definition ola ENTHUSIASTICALLY is
neither in birth, manner, nor fashion, but in
the mind. A high sense Of honor, de-
termination never to take a mean advan-
tag of another, an adherence to truth, deli
cacy and politeness, towards those with
whom you may have dealings, are the es.
sential and distinguished characteristics OF
a gentleman.

Good adrice.--The following words, it
has been well said, are deserving to be
written in letters of gold like those over
the principal gate of Athens, in the days OF
her pride and glory:
"keep thy feet dry-thy skin clean.
