THE VISION OF HEAVEN.
PAINTING BY STREET.

PAINTING BY STREET.
Beautiful vision!-There she knecls--
The scene The hour TO worship given
While sweetly DER her spirit steals
The light, the song the bliss of Heaven.
No cloud of earth is on her brow,
No earthly hopes arc fitting by
The dream that wraps her spirit now
Is borrowed Fl ON yon radiant sky.
'Tis not that her young heart is free
AS mountain air Or music wild,
'Tis not the glow of ecsiacy
Joy hings o'er fortunes favored child
IT'S not that nature there breathes out
Her worship is the waterfall
And all is beautiful about
And she, most beautiful of all.
Oh no! there's something ii the thrill
OF this worlds spirit stirring mith--
That, tho all sweet and joyous--still
Is mingled with the shades Of earh--
AS in the rainbow's radiant form
That spans the sky's cerculean sheet,
Abides the memory Of the storm
That broke and vanished at its feet.
Oh, ns!-the leaping spirit there
Forgot its prison-house of clay
Far, far beyond this world of care
Wings now, its blissful flight away
That sunny smile sereneIy bright
Is but the mantle that it filings
Back from its heavenward path of light,
Whittier each hope exulting springs.
Sweet vision of embodied thought,
To earth's low scenes in beauty given
How is thine angel image fraught
With all we know or dream Of Heaven!
Still to our sphere the lustre give
Of that sweet smile and heaven LIT eye,
And thou shalt teach us how TO live,
And learn us how TO die.

GENERAL ANDREW JACKSON.

TO the Roman Sarcophagus.
BY JESSE f. DOW.
The Roman bugle DER thee peal'd
When marcE'd the cohorts Of the brave,
With blunted spear and bater'd shield,
A fitting escort TO the grave;
Through rocky pass and rosy vale
They slowly filed weeping train,
While Ramah swolcd the mourners' wall,
And Sharon caught the dying STAN.
Memento of departed time!
Of empires troddcn i'll the dust
Of rulers staeped in blood and crime,
And nations eaten up with lust!
What! sleep in thee, thou hollow thing?
A sepulchre that once vert fed
Tomb of TIM mother of King
Where rests The ashes of the dead?
Let Princes in their marble sleep,
When crowns and sceptres turn 10 dust,
And let the vines of ages creep
Around them, faithful to their trust;---
But as for me, go make my tomb
Where sleeps the partner of my love,
Where Springs first roses love 10 bloom,
And weeping willows bend above.
/ cannot take my final rest
Where Rome's sproud mistress slept in pride
My bosom spurns the robbers crest.
And scorns the marbles sculptured side.
When | am called to meet my God,
| would from pomp and pride be free:
Then make my grave beneath his sod,
And hallow it with memory.

HoRRrBLE. Lyons paper gives the following
facts One day during last February, two men
and two women, one of whom carried newly
born infant, left the village Of Genestour, in the
afternoon, for the church of St. Houn, for
the purpose of baptizing inflnts. The road
was covered with snow, and the north wind drift
ed it into ridges, and nothing but faith as ar
dent as that which animated these four travellers
could, in such weather, have given the courage
necessary to sustain them in thelf religious pill
grimage. After the ceremony Of baptism, and
some refreshments had been taken as an auberge,
the two women carrying the child set out on their
return, leaving the two men 10 follow immedi-
ately, when they had finished drinking their
wine. In few minutes the men left the auberge
and fastened 10 overtakc the women. After
walking some distance and not seeing them,
they became much alarmed and hastoncd their
steps The truth soon burst upon them. In a
dark valley overlooked by wood they found
the snow stained with large pools ofbood, and
clothing and human bones scattered about
They were the remains Of the the two women
and the infant, who had been devoured by a troop
of furnished wolves.

The PENNSYLVANIA CANAL-We have stated
in our remarks upon business, under the market
head that the temporary repair ofthe burnt aque-
duct over the Juniata, was completed by the
18th OF course there is now no mpediment to
the rapid transmission Of freights East and West.
But even while the difficulty existed goods con-
tinued to arrive with great regularity, and at
very low rates. On Monday last, the 10Th inst,
lot of coffee was received here, which was
shipped at New York on the Goth of September,
before the break occurred No order having
been given authorizing the increased expense of
wagoning round the break, a delay Of several
days occurred yet the parcel of coffee de-
| livered in Pttsbnrg. on :he 22d day from New
York, at total expense Of IS cts. per cwt! The
same merchant who shipped this coffee, sent
some goods round by the lakes, to go by canal TO
! Cincinnati, at 81 10 cents per 100 lbs: the same
description of goods could have been laid down
at our wharf at 7j cents, But the point of the
matter is, that they have not yet been heard of
at Cincinnati.

A Gland. stIns League.

From the Canton of Gsurn5urg, some Ger
man ami French papers state, Information has
been received of clandesrne league having
been discovered there which Is said To have
branch,d out throughout Switzerland and to be
intended for an overthrow OF the present reli-
gous, moral aud socla! basis of Society. A
number of schoolmasiers are members of this
league, according TO some official Neuenbnrgh
oaper and It this authority may he relied on,
the operations Of that league were intended to
extend over Germany.
This so-named claudestine league the "Con-
slutionnei Neuchaeos" calls "a great socie-
ty of Atheists spread throughout Switzerland"
whose aim it was, "to effect by Atheism the O.
verlhrow of all moral principles and to arrive at
a violent reform ot the entire religious, social
and pnltica organization of Germany by means
of rinicide even" The existence OF this young
