the entire justice of our counter claim. Both
OF this evenings speeches were characterized
by the expression OF the most friendly feel
lngs towards the United States; and although
MIR. Polk was severely censured, especially By
lord John, not one word of wnMnduess was
uttered toward our country or our govern
ment. This firm conviction bright on either
side is perhaps the greatest barrier To the pro-
gess OF negotiation. for each party regards ev-
cry step towords the views Of the other as an
absolute and meritorious concession, which
receive an equivalent while the recipient OF
this imagined " COM: ssion,' esteemsit as only
ira tional grant of am absolute and extended
right.
The tendency Of this debate has certainly
not been 10 encourage the hope that the adj

The weather was very fine for business last
week. The River is down TO about 81 inches
on the Shoals. The Tributary arrived Friday
from Pittsburgh. The West Tennessee is
probably in the river below. Lighters were
expected from her yesterday.
The sales of Cotton last week were heavy.
On Friday about 600 bales were sold at AZ "a
0tc. Private letters were received here on
Friday night from New Orleans, bringing in
telligence that Cotton had declined &c, conse-
quen;ly buyers did not offer as much on Satur-
day by d "a ic. Sales on Saturday were small,
compared to those of Friday, holders being UNI
willing to take the decline of prices.

Gently she uphasped the door,
Gently paced the CORRIDOR
Till at Lnth, she stool before =
The chamber where the lady lay,
Meath the shadow of decay.
Softly speak and lightly tread,
"'Tis the chamber oi the dead!'
The portals past. What sees she there?
Four bright angels very fair:
All familiar faces wear,
Freed from earth's bedimming care.
A rapture inexpressible
On the faithful Guenda fell.
Rapt she gaz'd as in a trance,
Till, from one bright countenance,
thoughts there came, not heard, yet read,
And the angels, looking, said,-
"Jesu Christ, who dwells above,
Is the only love Of God:
"And through seraph songs he hears
The voice OF prayer, and sound of tears.
Therefore, when fair Edith prayed
For a lover, Jesu said
''To II of his seraphic band,
That around him ever stand,
Take u mortal shape, and bless
That maiden with thy tenderness
:'Straight he took the scholars guise,
And stood before fair Edith's eyes:
"Her babes, also, were angels sent,
To fulfil here souls content;
"And, just as Edith died, were seen
BY her in their angelic mien.
.'Then she knew, at one full thought,
Who her happy lite had wrought.
"And felt she wasan angels brids,-
With that glimpse of heaven shddied."
Sleep, like dew, on Guenda fellss
Through the night she slumbered well,
And morning with its glory broke
Upon the world ere she awoke.
She rose, and saw her lady's face
CARRIED with deaths angelic grace:
Sweetly fell the fresh born day
On the calmness of that clay:
Looking on it, one might deem
She was smiling in a dream.
Guenda paused an instant there,
Gazing on that brow SO fair;
Crossed herself, and signing said,
CAS- she turned aside her head,)
Little can we tell who share
Our household hearth Of Joy and care!
Therefore with grave tenderness
Should we strive to cheer and bless
"All who live this little life,-
Husband, children, sire or wife,
"Lest we wrong some seraph here,
Who has left tn: starry sphere,
"Exiled from the heavens above,
To fulfil a mortal love-"
Guenda, with no sigh, departed
From that chamber sanity hearted.

AN HOUR AT THE PLAYGROUND.

L sat AN hour to-day, John,
BESIDE the old brook stream-
Who're we Were school boys in old time,
When manhood was a dream;
The brook is choked with fallen leaves.
The pond is dried away,
scarce believe that you would know
The dear old place to-day.
The school-housc is no more, John,
Beneath our locust trees,
The wild rose by the window side
No more waves in the breeze
III scattered stones look desolate,
The sod they rested on
Has been ploughed up BY stranger hands
Since you and l were gone.
The chestnut tree is dead, John,
And what is sadder now-
The broken grapevine of our swing
Hangs ON the withered bough;
read our names upon the bark,
And found the pebbles rare
Laid up beneath the hollow side,
As we had piled them there.
Beneath the grass-erown bank, John,
! looked for our old spring
That dubbed down the alder path,
Three PAGES from the swing;
The PUSHES grow upon the brink,
The pool is black and bare,
And not q foot, this many a day,
1t seems, has trodden there.
i took the old blind road, John,
That wandered up the hill,
lis darker than il used to be,
And seems so lone and still
The birds sing yet upon the boughs-
Where once the sweet grapes hung,
But not a voice Of human kind,
Where all ouT voices rum
sat me on the fence, John,
That lies as in old TIM,
The ans half panel in the path,
We used so oft 10 climb.
Aud thought how DER the bars Of life,
Our %playrnates had passed on,
A9d LETT ne counting IN this spot
The faces that are gone.
