The Cadiz sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 184?-1851, 1845-01-15

EFFECTS OF NEs 81 am almost convinced
that there never yet was an instance in which
kindness has been fairly exercised, but that it has
subdued the enmity opposed TO it. Let every
person put the question to his soul, whether, un-
der any circumstances, he can deliberately re-
sist continued kindness. Anda voice ofafection
will answer that good is omnipotent in overcom-
ing evil. 1.-THE angry and revengelUl person
would only govern his passions, and light the
lamp Of aitection in his heart, that it might stream
out in his features md actions, he would soon dis.
cover a wide difference in his communion with
the world the gentle would no longer avoid him
friends would not approach him with a frown
children would no longer shrink from him with
fear; he would find that his kindness wins all
by its smiles giving them confidence, and secu-
ring their friendsbip.--[Rev. G.. H. Montgomery.

FHE DREAM OF EUGENE ARAm.
BY THOMAS HOOD.

1.-THE late Admiral Burney went to school at an
establishment where the unhappy Eugene Aram
was usher, subsequent TO his crime. The Ad-
miral stated, that Aram was generally liked by
the boys; and that he used to discourse to them
about murder, in somewhat of the spirit that is
attributed to him in this poem:l

If on any occasion your wife should exclaim
TO you: Nov tumble over the cradle and break

Is nothing but a dream!
"Down went the corpse with a hollow plunge
And vanished in the pool;
Anon cleansed my bloody hands,
And washed my forehead cool,
And sat among the urchins young
That evening in the school!
ooh heaven! to think of their white souls,
And mine so black and grim!
lcould not share in childish prayer,
Nor join in evening hymn:
Like a devil of the pit | seem'd,
Mid holy cherubim!
"And peace vent with them one and all,
And each calm pillow spread:
But Guilt was my grim chamberlain,
That lighted me to bed,
And drew my midnight curtains round,
With fingers bloody red!
GAN night | lay in agony,
In anguish dark and deep;
My fevef'd eyes | dare not close,
But stared aghast at Sleep:
For Sin had rendered unto her
The keys of hell TO keep!
"All night | lay in agony,
From weary chime to chime,
With one besetting horid hint,
That racked me all the time,
A mighty yearning like the first
Fierce impulse unto crime!
Gone stern, t%yrannic thought, that made
All other thoughts its slave;
Stronger and stronger every pulse
Did that temptation crave
Still urging me TO 60 and see
The dead man in his grave!
"EIeavIly | rose up-us soon
AS light was in the sky
And sought the black accused pool
With wild, misgjying eye;
And | saw the dead in the river bed,
For the faithless stream was dry!
Merrily rose the lark, and shook
The dew-drop from his wing;
But | never mark'd lis morning flight,
never heard it sing;
For | was STOPPING once again,
Under the lorrid thing.
"With breathless speed, like soul in chast
| took him up and ran--
There was no time TO dig a grave,
Before the day began:
In a lonesome wood, with heaps of leaves,
| hid the murdered man!
"And all that day I read in school,
But my thought was other where;
As soon as the midday task was done,
In secret | was there:
And a mighty wind had swept the leaves,
And still the corpse was baro'
"Then down cast me on my face,
And fist began TO weep,
For | knew my secret then was one
That earth refused to keep:
On land or sea, though lie should be
Ten thousand fathoms deep!
$50 wills the fierce avcnging sprite,
Till blood for blood %atoDes!
Aye, though he's buried in a cave,
And troddcn down with stones;
And years have rotted off his flesh
The world shall sec his bones!
"Oh God, that horrid, horrjd dream
Besets me now awake!
Again--again, with a dizzy brain
The human life | take;
And my red right hand grows raging hot;
Like Cranmcl's at the stake.
"And still no peace for the restless clay
Will wave or mould allow;
The horrid thing pursues my soul,
Ii stands before me now"
The fearful boy look'd up and saw
Huge drops upon his brow!
That very night, while gentle sleep
The urchin's eyelids kiss'd,
Two stern-iaced men set out from Lynn,
Through the cold and heavy mist;
And Eugene Aram walk'd between,
With gives upon his wrist.

BALLAD OF AN ALARMED SKIPPER
"N iras an Ane,cnt Marine"
Many long, long year ago,
Nantucket shippers had plan,
Or finding out, though Lying low"
How near New York their schooners ran.
The custom was 10 grease the lead,
And then, by sounding through the night
Knowing the soil that stuck, SO well,
They always guessed their reckoning right
a skipper grey, whose eyes were dim,
Could tell, bv tasting, inst The spot,
And 50 below he'd "dowse the gim"--
After, OF course, his something hot"
Snug in his berth, at eight o'clock,
This ancient skipper might be found;
No matter how his craft would rock
He slep,-and shippers sleep profound
The watch on deck would now and then
Run down and wake him with the lead
He'd up, and taste, aud tell the men
How many miles they went ahead.
One night, twas Jo,ham Marden's watch;
A wag was Jo-ihe pejlar's SON
And so ne unused Qhc wanton wretch)
To.nigh, III have grain Of fun.
We're all a sci of stupid fools:
To think the skipper knows by tasting,
What ground he's on-Nantucket schools
Don't teach such stuff with all their basiins
And so he took The well-greased lead,
And rubbed il DER box OF earth
That stood on deck, Ga parsnlp bed,)
Andlh he sought the shippers berth.
"Where are We now, sr2-please 10 TASTE
The skipper yawned put ont his tongue.
Then oped his eyes in wonlrous haste,
And then upon The floor he sprung
The skipper siormed, and tore his hair,
Thrust on his boots, and roared 10 Marden-
"NaaluckcfS sunk, and here nee are,
Right orcr old Mann HackcUs garden"

MORE OF THE FIRE IN NEW YORK.
The New York papers are filled with details,
diagrams, &c, Of this great calamity. We have
already given the substantial facts, and have no
room Tor particulars, which vary essentially
There is great discrepancy as 10 The number OF
lives losl. The y. Y Sun says
"Six bodies were found in the ruins up 10 a late
hour last evening, and among them those OF Hen
ry Ouman, (porer Of Casper, Meyer & Co..
and the other supposed 10 be Mir. Ku,z. They
entered the warehouse just before the explosion,
and the Two bodies were found locked in each

prolec, the other at the fatal moment of the ex
posion Two women and child have been re-
cognized among The b,lies found. Mr.. Angus
Ius L. Cowdrey, Of Beekman stree, a young law
yer Of great promise, and member of Engine
Company No. az. was, 1t is feared, killed by the
falling OF one efthe Stores"
The Sun gives list of seven persons, badly
wounded taken 10 the hospital.
The Tribune says, thai 4,2TO00o dollars
were insured, and il Is believed that all The usu
rance offices will be able pay their losses, but
some of hem will be ruined" The News says,
1--WE beiieye we can stale that all The losses will
be met, and we trust none Of The companies will
be forced to wind up. The Stock Market, after
the m. rnng Board, was more firm than could
have been expected under The circumstances"
The Tri' un- states, that over 300 hou-es were
burned, and that the probable loss of stores and
handize is from TO millions
The correspondent Of the United States Ga
