RETURN OF Gov. SIMPSON FROM OREGoN.--
Sir George has made quick trip, having ar
rived at Lachinc, Canada, on the Esd instant,
from Oregon, via Hudson's Bay. 1t is not over
four months since he arrived at New York from
London, and from the rapidly with which he
has been able to reach Oregon through the wa
tors Of the United States, we infer that he will
in future pass through this country ON his an
nual Journey. tie reports that the U. States
citizens who had emigrated to Oregon, we're
dissatisfied with the character Of the country,
and that of 5000 who had arrived there from
tlmo to time up to the month Of March last,
1000 had proceeded to California. Oar readers
probably knew that Sir George Simpson is the
chief of the Hon. the Hudson's Bay Company

THE MAIDEN,s PRAYER.

She rose from her delicious sleep.
And put way her soft brown hair,
And in tone as low as deep,
sAslove's first whisper, ,breathed a prayer.
Her snow white hands together pressed,
Her blue eyes sheltered in the LID,
The folded linen on her breast,
Just swelling with the charms it hid;
And from her long and flowing dress.
Escaped bare and snowy foot.
Whose steps upon the earth did press,
Like new snow fake white and mute !;
.ind then from slumbers soft and warm,
Like younglspirit fresh from heaven,
She bowed that slight and matchless form,
And humbfy prayed to be forgiven.
q, God, If souls unsoilsd as thee,
Need daily mercy from thy thrones
lfshe upon her bended knees,
Our holiest and our pureat one;
She with face SO clear and bright,
We deem her some stray child of lglt;
Ifshe with those soft eyes in tears,
Day after day, in her young years.
Must kneel and pray for grace from thee,
What far, far deeper need have we!
How hardly, if she win not heaven,
Will our wild errors be forgiven

An old goat fought with two country

up to their adversary as often as they

fast as they recovered after fall. The
girls were spunky and SO was the goat,
aud twas sometime before either party

from the fact that The girls had lrespassed

THE WANING MOON.

THE WANING MOON.
NJ WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
I've watched too late the morn is near,
One look a. Gods broad, silent sky:
Z Oh, hopes and wishes vainly dear,
= How IN your very strength ye die
Even while your glow is on the cheek,
And scarce the high pursuit begun,
The heart grows faint, the hand grows weak,
The task of life is left undone.
See, where, upon the horizons brim.
Lies the still cloud in gloomy bars,
The waning moon, all pale and dim,
Goes up amid the eternal stars.
Late, in a flood Of tender light,
She foated through the ETHEREAL blue,
A softer sun, that shone all night,
Upon the gathering beads of dew.
And still thou wanest palid moon!
The encroaching shadow grows apace
4 Heavens everlasting watchers soon,
Shall see the blotted from thy place.
Oh, Nights dethroned and crown ess queen !!
= We'll may thy sad. expiring ray,
Be shed on those whose eyes have seen
Hopes glorious visions fade away.
Shine then on forms that once were brighr,
For sages in tn" minds eclipse,
For those whose words were spells Of might,
But fal,er now on stammering lips
In thy decaying beam there lies
Full many grave on hill aud plain,
Of those who closed their dying eyes,
In grief that they had lived in vain.
Another night, and then among
The spheres Of heaven shall cease to shinc'
Allrayless in the glttering throns
Whose lustre late was quenched in thine.
Yet soon new and tender light
From out thy!darkened orb shall beam,
And broaden till it shine all night
On glistening dew and glimmering stream.
