PERSONAL SKETCHES.
BY MISS MARTINEAu.

BY MISS AARTlNEAu.
The Sketches OF Travel by Miss
Ma.tineau, second work on this coun.
try from her pen, contain, as we per.
ceive, by the London Westminster Re-
view, portraits Of many leading men
in this country. Mr.. Van Buren, is
set forth in no very estimable light.
Il was often asked" says Miss Mar
tineau, whether, | die not think his
manners gentlemanly. There is much
Griendliness, in his manners, for he is
kind hearted man he is also rich
in Information, and lets 1t come out on
subjects in which he cannot contrive
to see any danger in speaking. But
his manners want the irankness and
confidence which are essential to good
breeding. He questions closely with
out giving any thing in return. More
over he flatters to degree which so
cautious a man should long ago have
found out to be disagreeable, and his
nattering is not merely praise of the
person he is speaking 10, but worse
kind still--a skeptcism and ridicule
Of objects and persons supposed to be
distasteiul to the one he is conversing
with" OF the American Senate, Miss
Martineau writes.
1.-THE American Senate is a most
imposing assemblage. When | first
entered it, / thought | never saw f.
ner set of heads than the forty-six be-
fore my eyes :-t@o only beng absent;
and the Union then consisting of twen-
ty.four States. Mr.. Calhoun's coun-
tenance first fixed my attention; the
splendid eye, the straight forehead,
surmounted by load OF stiff, upright,
dark hair; the stern brow; the inflex-
ible mouth lit is one of the most re-
markable heads in the country. Next
to him sat his colleague, Mr.. Preston,
in singular ntrast,-stout IN person,
with a rosnd rudy, good humored
face, large blue eyes, and wig, or.
ange today, brown yesterday and
golden morrow. Near them sat
Colonel Benton, temporary peoples
man. remarkable chiefly Cor his POM
posity. He sat swelling amidst his
piles of papers and books, looking like
a being designed by nature to be a
good humored barber or inn-keeper,
but forced by fate to make himself IN
to a mock heroic senator. Opposite
sat the transcendant Webster, with his
..,are forehead and cavernous eyes
and behind him the homely Clay with
tho face and figure of a farmer, but
something of divine, from his hair
be;np coined straight back from his
temples. Near them sat Southland and

THE GRAVE YARD.

HE GRAVE YARD.
My thoughts are summon d TO the tomb,
Where sleeps the mould'ring dead,
NV spiri, feels solemn gloom,
As lightly there tread.
Wha, sad emotions fill the breast,
When contemplatios rores,
To this, the lone retreat, where rest
Our hopes, our joys, our loves.
Oh who has not in sorrow laid
Some earthly idol here;
oh who has not in sorrow paid
The tribute Of tear!
How Often does our spirit dwell
Within this haIlowed spot,
What thrilling tales docs mem'ry tell,
Which meier can be forgot
How Oft the lonely heart has strayed,
To meet some spirit there,
And in its hours Of sadness made
song TO wild despair.
lmagination's power bias dwelt,
" CT All tuls mOftai sCtue
And hardest hearts are made to melt,
Before its solemn beam.
But why should sadness blight the heart,
Upon this tender thence
And why should sorrow act the part.
To render life dream?
And is the grave the end Of all
That's fair, or pure, or bright?
Does hope but lead us TO the pail
Ofdarkness, aud of night?
What mean those starry hosts on high.
Which strike with awe the mind;
Why gazes there the anxious eye,
Upon that scene sublime?
What mean those orbs Of liquid fire,
Which burn in boondless space,
Why does the heart in hope aspire
To that mysterious place.
There is an hour fast bast'niug on,
When ime shall be no more;
There is an hour when ysnder sun
Shall light another shore.
The bursting tomb shall then disclose
Its dark sepulchral night,
Aud on its tenants long repose,
VIII break immortal light.
It's then, oh Death thy pow'r shall feel
The arm which rules on high;
IT'S then, oh Grave thy fate is seal'd
By him who rules the sky. ID. w. G

we wish to see correct likeness Of the

ais or correspondence, we are sure to
find The lineaments Of this new monster
correctly shadowed forth. The follow.

rectly describes the Sub. Treasury bill
as it passed the Senate:

lug more than their total unIikeness OF
each other. No English person who
has net travelled over half the world
can form an idea OF such differences
among men forming one assembly for
the same purposes, and speaking the
same language. Some were descen.
ded from Dutch farmers, some from
French ilugunots, some from Scotch
Purtans, some from English Cavaliers,
some from Irish Chieltains. They
were brought together out of law
courts, sugar fields, merchants stores,
mountains, farms, forests, and prai.
ries. The stamp of originality was
impressed on every one, and inspired
deep involuntary respect. ! have
seen no assembly of chosen men, and
no company of the highborn, invested
with the antique dignties ofan antique
realm, half SO imposing to the imugi
nation as this collection OF stout souled,
full grown original men, brought 10.
gether on the ground oftheir supposed
suflieiency, to work out the will OF
their diverse constituents.
JEREMIAH Mason. This veteran
barrister, says the Boston Times, has
not probably superior in point Of le-
gal acuman, in the United States. He
is not far from eighty years Of aye,
and yet he possesses not only the in.
telectual but the physical vigor d
youth. His shoulders, it is true, are
bent by his peculiar habits Of study !;
but one would hardly suppose, 10 look
him in the face that his age could ex-
coed fliy.fve. We do not believe
there is a person Of his age living,
who possesses SO great share OF what
may DO termed manly beauty. The
features Of his face were east 10 the
most symmetrical mould, and the glow
Of health casts over them rcsplenden-
cy which, we should think, would be-
dangerous to the peace of those of the
gentler sex who are at all tinctured
with romance. The secret of this IN.
usual health and longevity is strict tenn
perance in eating and drinking.
