The likeness ofhis wife;
Fresh as if touch'd by fairy wand,
With beauty, grace and life.

Upon the treasure still,
Absorbed, delighted and amazed,
To view the artists skill.

BY Mrs. II. Rolls.

There is a sigh--that, half snpprcst,
Seems scarce to hcnvc the bosom iaiI
1t rises in the spotcss breast,
The first, the tendt. dawn Of care,
There is a sgh-so soft, so sweet,
1t brcaths not from the lip of wo;
IT'S heard where conscious lovers meet,
Whilst yet untold young passions glow.
There is a sigh-short deep, and strong,
That on the lip of rapture dies;
1t floats mild evenings shade along,
When meet the fond consenting eyes.
There is a sgh-that speaks regret
Yet seems scarce conscious Gifts pain;
1t tells of bliss remembered yet,
Ofbliss that neer must wake again.
There is sigh-that, deeply breathcd,
Bespeais the bosoms secret wo
1t says ''the flowers which love had wlcath'l
Are withered meier again to blow"
There is a sgh-that slowly swels,
Then deeply breathes its load of care;
1t speaks, that in that bosom dwells,
That last, worst, pang, fond loves despair

''Wh0cvcr would attain to excellence
IN any thing must reposea generous con-
iidence in himself. He must feel that he
is equal to what he undertakes lie must
proceed calmly and with a conscious
strength to his task. If he doubts him
scll'--li' he feels that he must make an eff
fort, that he must strain. he will do moth
rng but betray his weakness. We Amer
leans, in literary matters, have no self con-
lidcncc. There is no reposc in our liter
allure. There is ever a straining after cl-
lcct-a labor to be eloquent, striking. or
profound. This proceeds in great mca-
sure, from the fact that we have found our
model of excellence, not in our own
own minds and hearts, nor in human ma
ture generally, but in the literature of that
land from which our iorciathers came"

ANCIENT CANOE.

An English paper states that about a
fortnight since, as some men were enga-
gagged in digging stones in bog, in the
county of Waterford, they discovered a
kind of canoe, which, from its extraordn
airy shape and rude workmanship, admits
of little doubt as to it having been formed
by very ancient navigators, 1t was hewn
out of large oak tree, sufficiently large
to bear up three persons, being eight and
half feet it length, and two feet, ten
inches in breath, and round on the bot
tom. 1t was found embedded in turf
mould, and surrounded by large stones.

RoNANcE.-On Wednesday evening
about ten O'Clock young couple, male
and female, both very gcntcely dressed,
were observed to make their way down
Arch street 10 the wharf, and after walk
ing up and down several times seemingly
IN a very troubled manner they walked to
the waters edge, embraced, and thus lock-
ed in each others arms, they threw them
selves into the stream. Their motions
had luckily for them been observed by
some of the ierrymen, who, the moment
that the act had been committed, ran to
their rescue, and in tricc brought the
dripping lovers safe again to terra frma.
a sharp rebuke for their rashncss preceded
their being handed over to the care of the
Waterman, by whom they were conduc-
tod to the watchhouse for safe keeping.

History OF Bapt1sts In Vermont, again.
Brother Churchill has called at the Tele.
graph office, after having visited several
churches. His report is, that he finds litlle
or nothing yet in readiness. All approve
the object. All have feelings on the sub
ject, and wish to have something DONE
But arAat shall they do? Hoto shall they
begin !?
They will allow me 20 suggest TO them
the method for beginning and going tbro'
with the work Let each church appoint a
committee, qualified for the business, whose
duty it shall be TO go Immediately about
collecting, and arranging such materials as
are within their reach. II, on taking mp the
matter, they fad some points in the Cireu-
lar on which they cannot obtain the desired
information, le, them pass to other points,
and obtain what they can. Let not the
whole work be abandoned, because there
may be Of necessity deficiency in some
parts Of it. Let each answer as many of
the questions 10 the Circular as the means
available will allow; and lie, it be done
with the least POSSIBLE delay.
One Of the most difficult things, probably,
will be, to trace out the origin and early his
tory. The records, in many instances, no
doubt, will be defective. AS the Circular
suggests, then, the Oldest persons who will
be likely to possess intelligence on the sub
ject should be inquired Of, and diIigent
search should be made by the use Of the
best helps at hand. IL the means in reach
will not enable committee 10 furnish all
that is desirable on this point, after doing
what can be done here, let other parts b.
attended to. L should be borne in mind
that if ANYTHING of the kind is ever to be
done, the present IS better than any future
time for accomplishing it. Every year, and
month, ana week Of delay is making the
matter worse and worse. Another thing 10
be considered is, that if anything is TO be
accomplished and carried through TO de-
sired contamination, there must be prompt
and simultaneous action. ..
