A .Eady's DreaDl.
I grant that dreams are idle things,
Yet | have Known few


To which my faithful! memory clings,
They seemed as sweet and true.--BARToN
The gay and thoughtless prize woman
more for the beauty of face and elegance
of figure, than for intelligence of mind, or
refinement of Education; so that if a lady
be a fashionable belle, the strength of her
mind and the polish of her education are
accounted nought.
With men Of genius, external beauty is
but secondary consideration; "that within
which passeth show has the first claim in
their admiration. Beauty fades, time steals
the roses from her cheek, and age leaves
but shadow, the beautiful and tashiona-
BILE belle. With the lady of talent and re-
fnement, the charm of conversation, and
the flow of wit, cast veil over wthered
loneliness, and render her as interesting,
when robbed of personal charms, as in her
day of power and pride. But to the in
teliigent eye, lady of mind and education
is always beautiful; though her features,
when at rest, are not as lovely as a cher
ished flower, nor as regular as painters
fancy line, yet, when her mind warns with
conversation, or burns with the poetic i'm
agery Of her fancy thoughts, brightness
and witchery dwell in every expression,
which unconciously hold in thrall the dull
est of mankind.
When, however, to intelligence of mind
is added the spell of beauty, that lady holds
a masterdom over every heart, and man
bows in silent alteration before her physi-
cal and intellectual perfection. Her pres
ence commands respect, her actions admi-
ration. The idle and the fashionable bow
in subsection before her very gaze. The
educated and talented stand before her
with awe and admiration; and with con-
cious pride count themselves in the society
of one, whose every word makes them fee
presence that instructs and exalts. There
is no creation of nature more beautiful
than lovely mountaineering more digni
fed, more espect-commanding than fe
male of genius and education. She gives
man an exalted opinion of his race, and
would make the veriest misanthrope re-
nounce his mistaken faith and exclam witt
exultation, 'she, like myself, is of the race
Of man.
Now TO the subject of my story.

Abolition agitation, il will be seen, meets
with severe rcproof, which will not be
the less felt that it is couched in general
terms. The Sub-Trcasurv too, though not
referred TO by n0mc is efectuaily dcmol-
ishcd by arguments against the principle
on which it is based.
We beg to direct the particular attention
of our readers to that portion Of the adj
dress which touches W pom the embarrassed
state of business and Of the currency they
will find sound republican doctrine there.
The foul spirit of party which has of late
assumed such deadly and malignant form,
is nobly rcbuked, and we are warned
against that false democracy which woudset
class against class, in the hope of stealing
power from the people and ccntraljsing il
in one man. The paragraph devoted to our
foreign relations is dlspassionatc and dignl-
fed. and will meet. we believe, with unqual-
flied approval in al! quarters.
The elevated tone Of moral and religious
sentiment which prevadcs the entire docu-
ment, is not among the least Of its recon-
dations.

which is laid before orr readers this after
noon. though extended in length, is an able
and important document Il places before
the country those enlarged and sound con-
stitutionai duties which a proper sense Of
the responsibility Of the National Execu-
tive impcrativcly onjoins, and urges in a
strong and emphatic manner tho necessity
Of preserving them invioiatc. and free from
tic taints Of parry spirit and corrnption.---
In full confidence in the sincerity of the
sentiments with which this Inaugural ap-
peal is committed to the people, and the car

RULES FOR GAUGING.

Nothing is more useful to the farmer, than
a knowledge Of such rules as will enable
him to ascertain the number of barrels of
corn in his crib, or how much his wagon
will hold in the ear. No rule can be adopt
ed that is always exactly correct. 1t is
generally calculated that two barrels OF ears
will make one of shelled corn; the rule can
not be depended upon as invariably correct,
for some varieties of corn shell out much
more to the bulk than others. We remark,
too, that rules of this kind are all arbitrary,
as the cobs of different kinds of grain can
not be calculated. We can only approach
the truth; but still it is SO near right,
that we have never feared to sell or buy
by it.
Rule.-Multiply the length, breadth and
depth of the crib or wagon body IN the
clear (the measurement taken in ,S"t to-
gether, and divide by | /, and you will have
the number OF barrels. Thus suppose the
crib to measure.

TINE.

Glide not the lingering hours of life,
Its tolls will soon be DER;
Its scenes of glory and OF strife,
Its dreams and disappointments rife.
Will vex the heart ne more
And yet the weary souls that gricve
A moments weary track,
Perhaps in utter years would give
A world to win it back.
Glide not the lingering lapse Of Time,
Nor count its moments dull;
For soon the bell, with mournful chime,
Will watt thy spirit to cline
Most bright and beautiful;
A land where grief will never fling
Its darkness on the soul.
Where faith and hope shall gladly wing
Their path without control.
Glide not Times slow and silent hours.
Though heavy they may seem;
The past has sought oblivion's shores
The present, which alone is ours,
Is passing like dream;
And they who scarcely heed its track,
Or wish its course more fast,
With fruitless care may still call back
One moment of the past.
Glide not a moments weary flight,
Too soon it speeds away;
And ever brings the hour of night
And DINNER makes the feeble sight
Then work while yet its day;
Thus shall lfe's morning ray depart
Without one vain regret;
And death steal gladly on the heart,
When life's bright sun hath set.

GREAT BATTLE In THE INDIAN COUN-

from Florida and runaway from the Choctaws and

caught but few buffalo and therefore, to supply their
