An ENERJETIc WoMAN-The editor of the Trenton,
M. Sheet Anchor " mentions meeting with a poor
woman on a late journey, who might be specified IN
good earnest. as something. of a heroine. At any
rate, she possessed all the fortitude, characteristics of
the sex In seasons of trouble or danger.
She was a native of Connecticut, who had emf
grated to Ohio about a year ago. where her husband
died, leaving her with three small children, ard in e
state of extreme want. She, managed to get 10 Pitts
burgh, thence she crossed the Alleghanies to Phila-
delphia on foot, carrying her youngest child a great
part of the way. At Philadelphia, being pennlless,
she asked to be allowed to cross the Delaware in the
Camden ferry boat, intending to pursue her toilsome
journey through New Jersey. Her manner interested
a number of gentlemen on the wharf, and the inter
est was not lessened by her story, which bore on its
face the very stamp of truth. Capt. Hinkle, of the
New Philadelphia, generously gave her a passage 10
New York, and a line to insure a conveyance as far
as steam can carry her homeward. A contribution OF
upwards of fourteen dollars was made up, which she
gratefully but d~ilidently accepted; for it was
evident she was no beggar; and the poor widow,
it is hoped, Is before this, at the end of hel
weary pilgrimage, and resting in the home Of hen
childhood, in the little village of Woodbridge, on tie
banks of the Connecticut.

Hymn Of the City.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT,

~ tlLLEN IAN
Not in the 5 ,litude
Alone may man commune with heaven, or see
Only in savage wood
And sunny vale the present Deity
Or only hear his voice
Where he winds whisper and the waves rejoice.
Even here do I behold
Thy steps, Almighty here, amidst tae crowd
Through the great city rolled,
With everlasting murmur deep and loud
Choking the avs that wind
'Mongst the proud piles, the work Of human kind.
The golden sunshine comes
From the round heaven, and on their dwellings lies,
And lights their inner homes
For them Thou hlI'st with air the unbounded skies,
And givest them the stores
OF ocean, and the harvest of its shores.
Thy spiIit is around
Quickening the restless mass that sweeps along,
And this eternal sound
Voices and footballs Of the numberless throng-
Like the resounding sea,
Or like the rainy tempests, speak OF Thee.
And when the hours of rest
Come, like a calm. upon the mid-sea brine,
flushing its billowy breast
The quiet of the moment, TOO, is Thine
II breathes of Him who keeps
The vast and helpless city while il sleeps.

Epitaph on q, Candle.

A wicke6 one lies buried here,
Who died in a decline
He never rose in rank, ffcar,
Tho he was born to shine.
He once was fat, but now indeed,
He's thin as any gTiever;
He died-the Doctors all agreed,
of a most burning fever.
One thing of him is said with truth,
With which Pm much amused /;
1t is-that when he stood. forsoolh,
A stick he always used,
Now tcinding-sheets he sometimes made,
But this was not enough;
For finding it a poorish trade,
He also dealt in snuff.
II e'er you said |" Go out, | pray"
He much i'll nature show'd;
On such occasions he would say,
"Vy, if | do, Tn 6iow'd-"
In this his friends do all agree,
Although you'll think Pm joking,
? When going out Ills sail that he
Wa very fond of smoking.
Since all religion he despised,
Let these few words suffice,
Before. he ever was baptized,
They diPpd him once or twice.

Fragment

The moonbesms sleep on sweet Glen-rose,
And paint with light its castles wall,
Round which the moss and ivy grows,
Lone tenants Of its bowl and ball.
No more the monk at m~idnights hour,
His PGter says for souls of men;
TIE Abbey's sacred Alt is boar,
And silence bToods Ger Roses glen.
Gone is the keep, the dungeon deep,
The daDk grass waves where csptives lay
Bet calm Is the lewly PEASANTS sleep,
Beneath the ancient churchyard's clay.
No more the knell of the vesper-bell,
Will call its Iordly chiefs to prayer,
Nor wake the priest in his narrow cell,
For Ruin holds her yigils there.
Q hush thy strain, my merry little bird,
That sweetly sings upon The tree ;
For lowly sleeps the fair Blanche Rose,
Who used 10 sing at even with thee.
o pale is her lip as the wan cowslip,
And damp and cold is her lonely bed
Then hush thy strain, my merry little bird,
Nor break the rest Of dTeamless dead.
But list 10 my tale IN. the dewy dale,
Whilst the moonbeams silver the castles wall.
Fer the spectre monk, and the scIeech-OwI meet,
And darkness enshrOud GIen-Rose's hall.

flowers were showered upon her from all parts of the
house in such profusion that, at last the stage was
covered with them ANGLE deep. Some of the nosegays
were as large in circumference as a breakfast table,
carried on by men, and placed at her feet; attae same
time, from the upper boxes, were thrown thousands of
s%onnets, addressed to her. They were above three
quarters of an hour collecting the flowers, which were
placed in baskets and carried to her hotel. There
was then a serenade with two of the military bands,
which did not conclude till past three o'clock IN the
morning"
