true one, that the sea has no bottom. Ii
seems that Capt. Ross has demonstrated
that it has a bottom, for he has lately OBJ

The Fhue HouSe---The New York
journal Of Commerce gives the following
account of this edilice and its furniture.-
The presidents house was built in '97.-
John Adams was at its first occupant; he
received $4,000 for furniture. Mr.. JeficI-
sou, in Ais eight years received $4,000;
Mr.. Madison, during his two terms receiv-
ed S28, 600 more. The lnrnituro in the
house, when il was destroyed by the Brit
sh in 1914, had thus cost $7l 600. When
Mr.. Monroe took possession of it., $4,000
were appropriated for furniture and nearly
all the furniture was procured from France.
Mr.. John Quincy Adams received and ex-
pended $4,000 more for fufnitute. Mr..
Van Buren, has received only $4,000 in
his FIRST term; and of the presentappro pria-
ton, only 500 is for furniture, and that fol-
| an ante-room, where persons calling on the
| President can have a chance to sit down
while they are waiting 10 see him. Not
wilhsauding all these expenses, the house
is not furnished in style commensurate
with its extent and uses, and the hospitality
which the people expect from the man whit
occupies their house. It. was stated in con
gress tha, many private mansions at tn,
moth are better furnished in respect TO tlei
intent and purposes; aud that house il
Washington, opposition to the presidents
is also mach better furnished.

Killing RoJbsr.--The New York

stranger Of elegant address, and announcing
his name as Armstrong, presented himself
at the farm house of Col. VIM. Andrews in
Essex, Mass, and demanded hospitality on
account of his carriage having broken
down. He was cordially received, invited
10 take seat al the dinner table and was
ultimately lodged in the best bed chamber
for the night. Gome time after the Colonel
was in bed he was surprised by the entrance
into his chamber Of his distinguished guest,
with a pistol in his hand, with which he
| threatened to murder the Colonel if he did
not deliver up they key Of his money box,
After pahey, the Col. got M, and led the
intruder to his secretary, which he opened,
and displayed a drawer ful of cash. Upon
this the robber transferred the pistol to his
left hand, in order to leave the right at li5
erty to grasp the treasure. This move

instantly wrenched the weapon from the

AMERICAN ANTIQUITIES.

The October number Of the North American Re
view contains an elaborate paper. giving details N
relation TO variety Of American antiquities. The
ruins of Paleuque and the temple Of copain are
thus noticed.
The principal monument at Palenque IS
of a pyramidical form, consisting OF three
different structures, receding in success
sion and rising upon each other. The
base has a circuit Of 1850 feet, and an
elevation Of GO feet. The portion Of the
structure resting Oh the base is $50 feet
long, by lao wide, and 30 feet in height,
making the entire height 06 feet. The
roofs are of hag.stones, well joined, aud
very thick, and it is said, bomb-Proof.
The cdifce is composed Of blocks Of stone
of large dimensions, and the entire ediiice
is covered with stucco. Between the
doors, and on all tho pillars arc cncrusted
eighty bos rcliefs in stucco, representing
personages seven feet in height, showing
that the arts had made great progress
among the builders OF these works. The
interior view corresponds in magnlhconcc
with the exterior. Immense halls orna-
mepted with bas rcliefs in granite, sculp-
tured hieroglyphics, courts, subterrancous
passages, round tower, with four stages
such is a sketch Of the principal charac-
teristcs whch this temple offers; "a tenn
pie heretofore served by numerous priests
and crowded with worshippers, but now
covered with briars and creeping vines,
where nothing but birds Of prey, ITS only
inhabitants, break the silence OF ages
which rests upon it.' THIS is, undoubt-
edly, the most magnificent ruin in North
America. On the fiat roof OF one OF the
palaces Of this region, Waldeck cut down
a tree having 1000 concentric layers, m
dicating the number Of years that have
passed since the edifce was abandoned.
The temple Of Copain is said to be 653
feet in length by 524 in breadth. The
interior contains sepulchral chambers, 81
pantic statues, stone tables and affairs, pic
lures and symbols, symmetrically ar
ranged, sculptured add painted. Among
the documents referred to in this article,
is a letter from Santa Anna, in which he
remarks that "the temple and the monu-

WERE WE NOT HAPPY?

Were we not happy in our summer dreamss
10 noontde wandeTings over bill and glen,
When flowers were stepped in rich aed fragrant
dews,
To yield the incense while we worshipped them:
When vernal skies were floating Ger the Earth,
And golden beams were lighting on the sea;
Were we not happy 10 those bissful days.
The brightest pages Of our memory
Were we not happy in those glowing halls,
Where music woke her deep melodious tone
Where lustrous eyes in wit and beauty beamed,
And forms of lovelness were seen alone;
When murmured voices breathed the sunny song
OF some far land 10 bind US in a spell;
Were not happy in those joyous times,
Ere Sorrows robe around our footsteps FELL
Were We not happy in the sacred fame,
THAT consecrated ground we trod?
The choral hymns, the penitential prayer
Brought TO our hearts the presence OF Cod
Where gorgeous windows lent magic light;
Where crests and hammered trophies round us lay
Were we not happy in that holy shrine,
Lit with its gimmering lamps and rich array!
Shall we be happy dearest. when the flowers
OF youth withered, and the summer skies,
No longer fraught with poetry and life,
Lose their sweet influence IN our fading eyes.
Shall we be happy the bed of death?
With nought to cheer our sinking hearts, or save
Look up-a richer. surer hope is ours;
We shall be happy far beyond the grave.

MARRIAGE IN LAPLAND. 1t rs ueatn III
Lapland to marry a maid without the con-
sent of her parents or friends. When
Young man has formed an attachment to
female, the custom is to appoint their
friends to meet to behold the two parties

ed in starting the advantage OF third
part of the race, so that it is impossible,
except willing of herself, that she should
be overtaken. If the maid overrun her
suitor, the matter is ended; he must never
have her, it being penal for the man to re-
new the motion of marriage. But II the
virgin has an affection for him, though al
first she runs hard to try the truth OF his
love, she will, (without Atalanta's golden
balls to retard her speedy pretend some
casualty, and make voluntary malt De-
fore she comes to the mark at the end Of
the race. Thus, none are compelled 70
marry against their own will; and this is
the cause that in this poor country the
married people are richer IN their own
contentment than in other lands, where
So MANY forced matches make feigned
love. and cause real unhappiness. 1t IS
to be regretted that our fair sex have moi
always equal opportunity OF accepting OF
rejecting the suitors, in order 10 insure
their future happiness, although there IS
little doubt but most of our married ladies
would have managed, under the same CIR
eumstances, to have fallen down or other
wise been prevented running 10 the eud;
nevertheless, too many have been forced
by their friends, for sinister motives, tc
marry those they did not love; these
would have run fast to prevent their lives
being made miserable, and to avoid, per-
haps, premature death.
