PREsENTnIENT.

Is Il a prophets dream-the thought
That DER me loves TO fling
A thousand shapes Of evil, wrought
BY Times unfolding wing -
That in each wasted taper's doom,
Or fading flower, see
Some star of hope go out in gloom,
That shone TO solace me
The sun-sired bow that spans the sky,
No heaven-sprung promise gives;
But In each tint's receding dye,
A mystic symbol lives.
No budding Joy entwines my heart,
But lurking AT lis root,
Some tang lies ready TO impart
A poison TO the fruit.
When night foretells her coming gloom
BY evenings milder shade,
A whisper greets me of the tomb
Oh would i there were laid
Yet why 2-this life is not care
But shadows forth text,
That doth some heavenly teaching bear
To fit us for the next
IT'S not that Unjust bear the stroke,
That my oicn heart must bleed;
For He whose darker mercies broke,
Will bind the bruised reed.
But his that they whose gentle love
Divides my heart with God,
Must share with me the pangs Iprove,
And feel themselves the rod.
Oh I! may they share the mercy too
That mollifies the dart,
And feel, with me, its heavenly dew
Distilpd upon the heart;
Cast down, upheld, disturbed, yet calm,
This vale Of tears we'll tread,
Forever trusting in the balm
BY Gilead's Healer she'd
No Joy of life but wells thorn,
No sting, but bears sweet;
From those who loved if never torn,
We ne'er in Heaven could meet;
Then meekly let us wander here,
Still seeking, as we go,
The smile that plays behind the tear,
Till tears shall cease to flow.

We have found this work to be deserving the high
reputation that the papers have generally given it.
Below will be found Chapter, which speaks elo
quently of love and music-two things which excite
more of interest," in the way Of sentiment than any
ohcr-especially with Our fair friends. This fine
eloquence, love, music, and sentiment is broken up
by the appearance of a newspaper, "a Newspaper 7
say you in establishment; yes, newspaper-(see
how important newspapers are)-they burst in upon
these ransitory dreams and present real life, in all

ORR OWN CONCERNS.


The great falling-of in the advertising business
of our establishment be seen from the fact that
our charges for the quarter ending on the LIST July
last was 49, ll6 32and those for the quarter ending
on the LIST inst but 1929 % The business since
that time has not improved and there is no prospect
of its doing SO for some time TO come. The ex-
penses of our establishment, including the News
schooner, is nearly $4,000 year, to meet which
the advertisements form our principal resourse.
Our Daily subscription list has held its ground
having diminished but 10 since the LIST July-and our
country list has increased The profit on the sub
scrptions, however, is very small
The capital invested on starting the paper in 1854
was $4,000 added to which the Office owes some
thing like 81 600, making in all $l4 600. sum
about equal to this is due to the establishment, ana
we hope, with the materials on hand that we snail
be enabled to save the capital originally embarked
ANY persons to whom the office is indebted VIII
please present their bills for payment ana the usual
prompt settlement is respectfully requested from our
friends. .....

From thp UIicn Obserrer.

CoRN.--Dr. Goodsell of this city, has
handed us letter just received by him
from the Hon. H. l.. Elsworthof Wash
ington, accompanying sample of the
celebrated Maryland or Baden corn, and
enclosing copy of letter from Mr..
Baden, which discloses the secret Of his
success. We regret that we are unable
to copy the letter Of Mr.. B. He stated
that he has brought his corn to its high
perfection by selecting the best seed in
the field for twenty-five or three years.
When he first commenced, it was with a
common kind of corn. He was at first
troubled to find stalk with t,oo good
ears upon it,but. now he does not pretend
TO lay up any seed unless it comes from
stalks which bear four. five, or six ears,
and he has seen those which bore eight
ears. 1t yields nearly double the crop
of any other kind Of corn. He plants
about the lst of May. in hills five feet
apart each way, and has two stalks in a
hill. Some of this corn was sent to llIi-
nois, and the increase was 100 bushels
oman acre, and it produced more fodder
than any other kind. A sample off. may
be seen at DR.. Goodsell's office.

SCHOONER LAUNoH.-The new schooner
built by Mr.. L. Burdsell, for the Messrs. Sar-
gent, of this place, was launched, this after
noon. Her strong and yet elegant form, fine
proportions, beautiful workmanship, and great
capacity, do honor to the skill and judg-
ment of the architect, and bear honorable tes-,
timony to the enterprise of the proprietors.
Wehave justreturned from viewing thelaunch.
A crowd of spectators, lined the banks above;
the beautiful river was ripping and glittering
below and between lay the stately vessel
with her decks crowded with men and boys
who were going off with her. The signal
was given. With maiden coyness, worthy
of her beautiful name, (Maria) she hesitated
moment, then moving slowly and majestcally
forward she dipped herself within the bosom
of the lmpid element, and rose from its en-
braces, amidst the long and loud cheers Of the
numerous spectators.
She will be ready for the lake in a few weeks,
and will be commanded by Capt. Brooks
Her burthen is $50 tons.

STEAMBOAT AcoIDENT.-The Steamboats,
Bunker Hill and Cincinnati, came in contact,
in the lake near the mouth of Huron har Dor,
on Friday evening about o'clock. The Gin
cinati was much injured by the bowsprit Of
the Bunker Hill, which passed into one of her
wheel houses, tearing away the wheel house,
guard, and nearly the whole Of one side of the
boat, besides severely injuring several per-
sons, among whom was the captain. The
Bunker Hill, lost her cut-water, had her chains
torn away, and was considerably injured in
her bows. The Cincinnati was towed by the
Bunker Hill into the harbor of Huron, where
she now lies for repairs. We have not learn
ed that blame is to be attached to the captain
of either boat, though would seem that there
was some remissness on the part of one or the
other, as the evening was very light and fair
at the time the accident happened.

WooDEN-NUTMEG LEGISLATION. leg
islature of the Bay state have been playing
some fantastic tricks, during their late session,
whichs show up in strongcolors, the pure democ-
racy of that most democratic Of all bodies. 1t
seems, that large majority of both houses,
become possessed ofa strong desire, to raise the
price of legislation, to par with that of 9TH
er marketable commodities, and bill was in
troduced for that purpose, giving each member
three additional yankee shilGngs per diem,
for his services in the cause of his country
Now, it seems, that while a large majority of
the house, were for passing the bill, still very
few were willing that their votes should be
recorded in its favor, SO that whenever the vote
was taken by mere count, thelaw was passed,
and as soon as call was made for the yeas and
nays, it was as regularly defeated. Thisfarce
was repeated several times during the session
by the introduction of new bills whenever the
old ones were rejected by the yeas and nays.
What striking evidence of the sturdy inde-
pendence of the five hundred and odd Legis-
lators of the great state of Massachusetts!
