The Springfield Rennbjicap ,,I,doe -

The Springfield Republican alludes to a
paragraph which has appeared in some of the
papers, announcing that Mr.. Bancroft is about
to write the life of general Jackson, and adds
that those who have purchased the published
volume of his History of the United States
would be glad to have him finish that work
before he begins upon the other. We believe
that the Republican is correct in this opinion /:
and we believe there is no reason to appre-
bend that Mr.. B. will disappoint the wishes of
the readers of history. He is busily engaged
In the prosecution OF that work; and the re-
port that he is about to undertake the life OF
general Jackson, we believe, is altogether un-
iounded.-Boston Daily Advertiser.

SECRET OF DOMESTIC RECOMMENDATIONS
great secret of domestic enjoyment is too mucl,
overlooked +; it lies in bringing our wants down
to our circumstances instead Of toiling TO bring
our circumstances up to our wants. Wants
will always be ahead of means, and there will
be an end TO the race, if you set the latter to
choose the former. Put the yoke of self-de-
NAL to desire, apply the spur Of industry to
energy, and if the latter does not overtake the
former, 1t will at least keep IN sight of it.

DEw.-Dew is dense moist vapor, found
on the earth in Spring and Summer mornings
in the form of a mizzling rain. DR.. Hutton
defines it ga thin, light, insensible mist or
rain, descending with slow motion, and fall
ing while the sun is below the horizon. 1t
appears to differ from rain as less from more.
Its origin and matter are doubtless from the
vapors and exhalations that rise from the
earth and water." Various experiments have
been instituted to ascertain whether dew ari-
ses from the earth, or descend from the at.
mosphere, and those pro and con have alter
nately preponderated. The question is not
yet decided, neither has Dr.. Clarke's inuuirv
been answered-"is it water deposited from
the atmosphere when the surface of the ground
is colder than the air."

Nv soul is sick Of this long day,
Pm weary of its lingering light,
And Ioathing light. | turn away,
To weep and wish for night,
long to lay me gently down,
In slumbering on my mothers breast,
And would exchange an empires crown
For everlasting rest.
Although in manood's morn stand,
I've lived the laurel wreath to gain;
NV songs are heard in every land,
And beauty brcathes the strain.
Her smiles and sweetest tears are mine,
And yet, of love, fame, youth possessd'
For rest-eternal rest!
The dreams for which men wish to live,
Or dare to die the gilded cloud
Of glory DER the tomb I'd give
For silence and shroud!
/ ask no Paradise on nISn
With beings strife on earth oppressed,
The only Heaven for which I sigh,
Is rcst-ETERNAL rest!
My natal day with tears keep.
Which I rejoic'd in when child;
And each return the birth weep,
Ger which my mother smiled.
Bid Heaven take back the birth it gave,
That l, a cold and silent guest,
Within my fathers house-the grave
May find long-long rest.
Without my own consent came,
But with my widest wish | go;
For would family be the same
