Burns and George HI.

In London, where they have price for every
thing, an autograph of Robert Burns commands
five guineas--one of George The Third sells for
three shillings! King George was born in pa
lace, and sat upon throne. Robert Burns was
born in a cottage, and held the plough. George
was king by brth-right-Robert was king by
nature. George during life was sated with lux
ures, and surrounded by hatterers; Burns often
wanted the common necessaries of life, and ne
elected by the world died penniless-death lev
els all artificial distinctions; and, in the hearts ol
posterity, man, if remembered at all, sinks OF
scars 10 his natural grade.
Who remembers George the Third, or points
to one good action that he ever performed. The
name of Burns is heard at every heartf--lt is as
familiar as household word--and his undying
verse lives in every heart, amazing and deghtins
ALL
Burns, though peasant, was as much supe
rior to George the Third, as five guIneas are tt
three shlings-yea, infinitely superior to that ra
to- Would that the world had done him mor'
justice while he lived
Scotland could spare a hundred kings, bu
could not spare one Burns.

Memory,-It is strange perhaps the stranges
of all minds intricacics--the sudden, instantane-
Gus manner in which memory, by signal, casts
wide the doors of one of those dark storehouses
IN which long passed events have been shut up
for years. That signal, be it a look, a tone, Or
a single sen tence, is the cabastic word Of The
Arabian tale, at the potent magic of which, the
door to the cave of the robber opens. Forget
fulness is cast suddenly wide, and all the treas
ures that he had concealed, displayed Upon the
memory of the traveller rushed up the visions OF
his youthful days; the sports of boyhood, the
transient cares, the quarrel soon forgotten, the
pain which passed away like summer clouds, the
pure, sweet joys of youth and innocence, and ig-
norance of i'll, that never return when passed
away.

THE STRENGTH OF TYRANNY.

The tyrants chains are only strong
While slaves submit to wear them,
And who could bind them on the throng
Determined not to bear them!
Then clank your chains,-e'en tho their link
Were light as fashions feather,
The heart which rightly feelg and thinks
Would cast them off together.
The lords of earth are only great,
While others clothe and feed them!
But where were all their pride and state
Should labor cease to bear them?
The swami higher than the king
Before the laws of Nature,
The monarch were a useless thing,
The swain useful creature.
We toll, we spin, we delve the mine,
Sustaining each his neighbor-
And who can hold right divine
To rob us of our labor!
We rush to battle-bear our lot
In every i'll and danger,
And who shall make the peaceful cot
To ohomely Joy stranger!
Perish all tyrants far and near,
Beneath the chains that bind us
And perish, too, that servile fear
Which makes the slaves they find us.
One grand, one universal claim
One peal of moral thunder
One glorious burst in freedoms name,
And rend our bonds asunder

UuIou Of the Ocean.

The Hon. John A. Bryan, late Charge d At
flares TO Peru, has addlessed two long and IN
terestng letters 10 the National Institute, on the
subject of the proposed union of the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans by means of a railroad or ship
canal across the isthmus OF Darien and Panama.
Bryan goes fully into the merits of the whole
subject, furnishing condensed history of all that
has ever been done, written and published IN re-
lation thereto by the Agents of the Government
of New Grenada, the United States, England,
France, aud Spain, and, after speaking Of the re-
searches and surveys of Mr.. Lloyd, the British
Agent, comes to the conclusion that nothing but
a grand ship canal will answer-that MacAdami-
zed roads and railroads are not the thing. A
friend predicts that You've AMERICA will soon
undertake the work and finish it. The Pacific
has been ascertaned to be l3 35-lOO feet above
the Atlantic. We extract from Mr.. Bryants sec
opd letter. E.

Ay! st and erect nor bend thy knee nor bow,
But speak thine own free thoughts, and with an eye,
Bold as an eagles, cleaving the bright sky,
Hold upward thy proud way! Oh why shouid'st thou
Whose iron arm has made the mighty world
A realm of beauty, and subdued the wave,
Der desert wales and mountain heights unfurled
The flag of Hope, why should'st thou, like slave,
Cringe to the nod OF Pride, and bend thee low,
Even on the soil thy hand hath taught to bloom
Asa fair garden; wherefore should'st thou SO
Bow down. and shut thy soul as in tomb?
Oh, stand erect throw fetter off and ban,
And speak thine own free thoughts-thou art MAN

None can love freedom heartily but good men
the rest love not freedom, but license, which ne
yer hath more scope or more indulgence than
under tyrants; and hence it is that tyrants are
not oft offended by, nor stand much in need of
bad men, as being all naturally servile; but in
whom virtue and true worth most is eminent
them they fear in earnest, as by right their mas
ters; against them lies all their hatred and suspi
cion.-MiIton.

EpH Companions is the atmosphere
of souls, and we necessarily imbbo from it some
thing which is either infectious or salubrious.-
The society of virtuous persons is enjoyed be-
yond their company, while vice carries sting in
to solitude. The society or the company you
keep, is both the indication of your character and
the former Of it., In company, when the pores
of the mind are opened, there requires more eau
ton than usual because the mind is the passive
Either vicious company will please you or ii will
not; if it docs not please you the end of going
will be defeated. In such society you will feel
yoar reverence for the dictates of conscience
wear off; and that name at which angels bow
and devils tremble you will hear contemned and
abused. The bible will supply material for un-
meaning jests or mpious buffooncry: the conse-
quence of this will be practical deviation from
virtue, the principles will become snapped, and
the fences of conscience broken; and when de-
bauchery has corrupted the character, a total in
version will take place; they will glory in their
shame.-Robert Hall.

Life is like a field of blackberry and raspber-

the fruit, no matter how they black their fingers;
while genius, proud and perpendicularly, strides
Gercely on, and gets nothing but scratches, and

The Labor Of single Locomotive is equal to
that of G6s horses, according 10 statistics recent,
ly published Trains of cars leave Boston and
Albany every morning, each train carrying 100
tons of merchandise, running at an average Of
IL miles an hour, OF 100 miles day, including
stoppagcs, A horse would carry 1900 lbs. over
the mountains 25 miles per day. Divide the load
of this one engine by 1900, and the number Of
horses for 25 miles in day is 1877. Four times
this number, or 66S, could carry this load 100
miles each day. Hence the iron horse is every

Defences ofMe Atlantic border--A general
order has been issued from the War Department
to mount the batteries of the various Notifications
for the protection of the Atlantic coast. We
learn that the officers and troops at Fortress
Monroe are actively engaged in executing the
order. The whole complement of guns-and
among these are AZ pounders-for the forifca-
ton ofthis garrison, amounts, we believe, to the
number of nearly three hundred, constituting
with the battery at Fort Calhoun, a weight of me-
tai sufficient TO resist any attempted invasion of
the fleets of the most formidable European pow
ers. This is a precautionary measure of clear
propriety. Indeed, the batteries should always
be mounted. 1t is very questionable, moreover,
whether there is any saving, in an economical
point of view, in the course heretofore pursued
by the Government.-NorfoM Beacon.
