Dirge of the Flowers.

Pale, lingering flowers of the dying year,
Why, dropping sad, DER autumn'S yellow bier,
Do you prolong your say,
When the rich glory DER the meadows cast,
And voices sweet of summer birds, have past
Sadly away?
At eve, the perfumed Zephyr softly sung
His low, departing anthem where We hung,
Sweet tokens of the spring
Mid wreaths Of dew, like those fairy weaves
Upon the closing petals and the leaves
Bright clustering.
At mornings hour, all curtained DER with green,
We dimly lay the whispering leaves between,
Like bright eyes robed 10 sleep;
And as We opened to the summer air,
There family rose sound Of gadness there,
Holy and deep.
But now the autumn wind signs DER your heads,
And the cold moon, from yOn blue heaven sheds
Her silver dew-jrops there;
And mourufully, like music DER the sea,
Your last and dying fragrance comes to me
Through the chill air.
Darkly We fade from pleasant streams and woods
Around your wonted haunts, in GOODNESS, broOds
The spirit of decays
d. On the waste places of this clouded earth
We're left to mourn your loneliness and mirth
Gathered away.
Ye are the types of all that man deems bright;
Like you. his earthbom pleasures bloom in light;
Like you, they quickly fly;
And leave the breaking heart to cling again,
With a fond yearning, passionate as vain,
To things that die.

DESERVING OF CoMMENDATIoN.-A writer in the
Cincinnati Atlas is very warm in his praise of Mr..
John A. Collier of Steubenville, Ohio, passenger
on board the steamboat Madison, at the time of her
recent collision the Mississippi with the Plymouth
The Madison was weakly manned, and all hands were
required for her management at the critical moment
Mr. Collier was the only male passenger board of
her. Preserving great presence of mind, he rushed
to the yawl of the Plymouth, in the midst of the
darkness unaided by single human being and COM
menced the noble work of rescuing his fellow crea-
lures from watery grave. The river was covered
with the floating forms of all and ages, and
two yawl loads amounting to twenty or thirty per-
sons, picked up and restored to life by his man.

The PROPOSED ARBITRATION. - writer in the
Boston Courier, leading wing paper, reduces to an
absurdity the arguments in favor of leaving
the Oregon question to be settled by third power in
the following exceeding clever manner:
mon tat, that whoever refuses to submit his
case to arbitration, implicitly admits that his is
a bad one. On the contrary, it often happens, and
may well happen, that, in proportion to mans
viction of the strength of his cause, will be his de-
termination not to submit his to an arbiter. In
general, may say, the advice given by experienced
lawyers to their clients in regard to arbitration
follows If your is a bad one, if you have no
probable chance of success in the regular of
justice try to prevail your adversary to submit the
matter to arbitration and two to one, by the influence
of some mistaken notion of equity, against right
by split-the-difference frame Of mind the
part of the referees, you will get something where
you ought not to have any thing On the other hand
if your is perfectly clear one beware how you
refer TO arbitration for in doing So you render un
certain that which before might have been perfectly
certain. In multitude of cases. it is easy pre-
dict beforehand what will be the decision of courts
but in is ii possible to count the decision
of arbitrators And in regard to all rights on pro-
perry, of which any party has the possession, (acual
prospective,) still less would il be admission of
the weakness of his cause to refuse to submit such
right to arbitration. A man goes to you, and says,
Sir, this is very fine house you have been living in
number of years really, should like to have such
house myself; suppose we submit the question to
referees whether you shall have it, or l. What
would you do in this case Would you agree to his
proposition through fear that to refuse it would be
regarded by the world admission of the folly of
your pretensions to be the owner Of the house
Would you not rather tell the man to go to the ID
with his arbitration, and perhaps favor him with a
supplementary POster'or salutation or KICK to boot"

From the Licking Valley Register.
The NliSer,s Death.
ny G. w. CUTTER.

An old man sat by ireless hearth,
Tho the night was dark and chill,
And mouInfuiIy ever the frozen eaTih,
The wind sObbec lone and shriIl.
His locks gIey, and his eyes were grey
And dim, but not with tears,
And his skeleton form wasted away
With penuiy more than yeas.
A rush light was casting its 6ifuI glares
DER the damp aud dingy walls,
Where the lizard hal made his Shiny lair,
And the venomous spider cTaws.
But the meanest thing 10 this lOaihsome room
Was that miser, all worn and bare;
Where he sat like ghost in empty tomb,
OH his broken and only chair.
He had bolted the window and bard the door,
And every nook he had scan'd,
And felt their fssenings DER and DER,
With his cold and skinny hand;
And yet he sat gazing inteDtly around,
And tlembed with silent fear,
And started and shuddeIed at every sound,
That fell on his coward ear.
Ha! ha laughed the miser-I'm safe at last,
From this night cold and drear;
Prom the drenching rain and the driving blast,
With my gold and my treasure here.
I am cold and wet with the icy rain,
And my heal is bad, 'tis true,
Yet if SHOULD light that fre again,
Ii would cost me a cent or two.
But IN take sip of this precious wine,
1t will Danish my Geld and fears;
IL was given long since by friend Of mine,
have kept il for many years.
So he drew flask from mouldy nook,
And drank Of its ruby tide,
And his eye grew bright with each draught he took
And his bosom swelld with pride.
"Let me see-let me see," said the miser then,
"'ris some sixty years or more,
Since the happy hour when began
To heap up my glitterng store;
And we'll have sped in my anxious toll,
As my crowded chests will show.
/ have more than would ransom Kingdoms spoil
Or an Emperor could beStow."
"Fron the orient realms have Tubies bright,
And gold from the famd Peru;
I've diamonds would shame the stars Of night,
And pearls like the morning dew,
And more III have, ere the morow's sun,
His rays from the west shall fling;
That widow, to free her prisoned son,
Shall bring me her bridal ring"
He turn'd to an old worm-eaten chest,
And cautiously raised the lid,
And then it shone like the clouds ct the west,
With the sun in their splendoT hid,
And gem after gem of its precious store,
He raised with exultng smile,
And counted, recouned them DER and Ger,
In many gtterng pile.
Why comes that flush to his pallid brow,
While his eyes like his diamonds shine
WHY wrhes he thus in such torture now
What there in the wine
His lonely seat he strove to regain
To crawl 10 his nest he TIED
But finding those efforts were all in vain,
He claSped his gold and died.

The OREGON TRADE-A PEEP INTO THE Pacific
The last intelligence informs that there now
two packets running between Oregon City and Homo
lulu, of the Sandwich Islands. One of these is
an American packet, and the other belongs TO the
HudsOn's Bay Company. This fact is the initial of
one of the greatest commercial revolutions which the
world has seen. Look at the map Fix your points
at Liverpool, Boston, St. Louis Oregon City and
Canton Then calculate the freight and time required
BY bale of goods transported around Cape Horn to
Canton. Then take the same bale of goods by steam
car from Boston to Oregon City, and then by steam
packet from Oregon to Canton If the goods 60 from
England, by Cape Horn, it will save ten thousand
miles to take them across the American continent!
If they go from the United States, there is saving
of twohrs of the whole distance! That the trade of
the United States will take that course, provided the
communication is by steam, no one can doubt 1t is
vain talk about the Panama route If you 60 by
steam to Oregon.
What in thirty-three years (the average genera
tion) will be the effect of turning the Pacific trade
across the continent! In that time, the population
of the United States will be fifty Millions and Its
commercial marine the greatest in the world. The
ports of China and its vast trade are and will be
opened to all nations. The waters Of the pacific are
comparatively smooth, and the voyage safe. What
does the reader imagine will be the effect of pouring
the trade of the United States and its fifty millions OF
people, active, ingenious and INDUSTRIOUS the
continent of America upon the ancient fields Of Asia!
Vast, indeed VIII be the revolution In commerce, and
equally great will be the revolution in the civilization
of Asia! All this may appear to some minds a
dream, but it is necessity of commerce, science and
art. 1t will happen, certainly the United States
continue TO grOp.
In ancient Asia and in modern Asia, the internal
trade of those continents carried by
Some of the largest cities in Asia were built up by

When this nation looks out across the Pacific on
the fields Of Asia, crisis will have come in this

place when the blue-eyed German and the hungry

The hour will have come for mighty changes in the
