Horseshoe fall,) poured = 70 ing
grandeur. not merely over one great
precipice Of goo feet, but over the sue
cessive ridgy PreciPices Of two or three
thousand, in the face of a mountain
eleven thousand feet high, and tumb-
ling, crashing, laundering down, with
a continuous din Of far greater sublimi
ty than the sound Of the grandest cata-
ract. Placed on the slope of Wengern
Alp, right opposite the whole visible
side Of the Jungfau, we have enjoyed
two ofthese mighty spectacles, at about
half an hours interval between them.
The first was the most sublime, the Sc
cond the most beautiful. The roar of
the falling mass begins to be heard the
moment it is loosened from the noun
tain; it pours on with the sound of
vast body Of rushing water; then comes
the first great conclusion, a booming
crash Of thunders, breaking on the still
air in mid heaven; your breath is sus-
pended, as you listen and look; the
mighty glittering mass shoots headIong
over the main precipice, and the fall is
so great, that il produces to the eye that
impression of dread majestic slowness,
Of which | have spoken, though it is
doubtless more rapid than Niagara.
But if you should see the cataract of
Niagara itself coming down five thou
sand feet above you in the air, there
would be the same impression. The
image remains in the mind, and can
never fade from it; it is as if you had
seen all aiabaster cataract from heaven.
The sound is far nsre sublime than
that Of Niagara, because of The proceed
ing stiffness in those awful Alpine SOL
iludes. In the midst Of such silence
and solemuity, from out the bosom OF
those glorious glittering forms OF ma
ture, comes that rushing, crashing thun-
der. burst Of sound! it were not that
your soul, through the eye, is as filled
and fixed with the sublimity Of the Wis
ION, as through the sense Of hearing
with that ofthe audible report, methinks
you would wish to bury your face in
your hands, and fall PROSTATE, as at
the voice of the Eternal But it is i'm
possible 10 convey an adequate idea Of
the combined impression made by these
rushing masses and rolling thunders
upon the soul.-POst.

THE ROCKING CHAIR CoNDEMNED.-A
writer in the Boston Transcript utters
a counterblast against that instrument
which so much ministers TO luxurious
ease-the Rocking Charlie or she
as the case may be--attributes the
lack Of graceful motion, and particular
ly graceful walk, in the ladies, to that
article. Much ola fashionable young
lady's indoor life is spent, the BODY
half suspended by the elbows, and the
muscles of the back entirely relaxed,
in the rocking chair. The necessary
consequence is, a crooked spine, weak
back, a high pair of shoulders, and an
awkward manner Of carrying the head
effects perfectly incompatible with
graceful movements Of any kind.

JoHN FIrcH's FIRST STEAMBOAT =
We have received a photographic map,
from the Collect, Pond, in this city, in
1895; the whole Of the steam appara-
tus being the invention Of John Fitch,
a native OF Windsor, in Connecticut.
This boat was steared with an oar, and
worked around the pond by paddle
wheels, with steam power, by the au-
thor ofthis map, (who is now residing
in Williamsburg, Long Isiand) in the
presence of John Fitch, Robert Fulton,
and Chancellor Livingston. Fitch af-
forwards constructed boat, which was
tried on the Delaware; but was untor-
tunale in his circumstance: and left for
kentucky, where he died. The object
Of the author seems to be 10 establish
the position that Mr.. Fitch, was the
first inventor Of steam Machinery for
boats, and that Fulton afterwards, by
the patronage Of Mr.. Livingston, made
extensive experiments, and ultimately
succeeded in bringing the discovery
into practical use.--N Y. ErpreSs.

POETRY BY JOHN @. ADAMS.

Miss Ellen NJ. Cockey, John and
Thomas Forest, Baltimore county, pre-
sented to Mr.. Adams, few weeks ago,
a pair of knit gloves. In acknowledge
ing their reception the "old man elo-
luent" penned the following lines:
Who shall say that public life
Is nothing but discordant strife?
And he whose heart is tuned 10 love,
Tender and gentle as the dove,
Must whet his falons, night and day:
For conflicts with the birds Of prey
This world is fashioned, Lady fair!
Of Joy and sorrow, Ease and Care,
OF sudden changes, small and great;
OF upward and of downward fate:
And whose bends his mood to trace.
The annals Of mans fallen race.
May sigh to find that natures plan
Is ruthless war from man to man.
But nature cruel, to be kind,
Nor 10 war on y man consigned;
But gave him woman on the spot,
LHlIlSlC plOoouIO III HIS lOl,
That if with man war cannot cease,
With woman reigns eternal peace
Fair Lady, | have lived on earth
Nigh fourscore Summers from my
birth;
And half the sorrows | have felt
Have by my brother man been dealt;
And all the ills have endured
By man inflicted, woman out.
The glove from man TO man, thou
know'st,
Of fierce defiance is the boast;
And cast in anger on the floor,
To mortal combat shows the door,
But gloves from woman's gentle hand,
Of cordial Friendship bear the wand;
And IN return single glove
Betokens emblematic Love.
Thy gift fair Ellen then take,
And cherish for the giver's sake.
And while they shelter from the storm
My hands, the Heart alike shall
[warm;
And speed for thee to God above,
The fervid prayer.of faithful love.
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.

killed. Scouting parties now went out
for venson; some good shots were for

When daylight appeared, suspicious

a deer had been killed weighing over
eight hundred pounds. This caused

LATE FROM HAvANA.-The u. S. Cut
ter, McLane, Capt. Howard. arrived at
New Orleans from Boston, by the way
OF Hanava on Saturday last, which lat
ter place she left on the 2nd, inst.
The Delta says:
We yesterday had the pleasure OF
an introduction to Capt. Howard. He
communicated TO US intelligence which
we had anticipated, and to hear which
did not by any means astonish US. San
ia Anna, he says, has sold out his es-
tablishment in Havana, game cocks and
all. He returns, by invitation Of course,
to Mexico, If not in the British brig of
war Darien, certainly in the. British
steam packet which leaves Havana for
Vera Cruz, on the 10Th inst. We sup
pose our blockading squadron will ad.
NIT him IN as regularly sealed letter
of correspondence. His fayorite and
confidential friends, and former minis
tiers, Almon:e and Reion return with
him 10 Mexico. In Havana i, was
thought that the duce would be to pIav
on his arrival there. There will of
course be pronunciamento in his favor.
The welkin will resound with huzzas!
and bulletins will be issued composed of
words Of "learned length and thunder
ing sound'f about the integrity of the
Republic, the Discrimination and rapaci-
ty of the Government cf the North,
and the proves OF Mexican arrs. San
ia Anna returns not to make overtures
of peace, but to carry on the war with
vigor such as, it is believed, no other
Mexican can exert, and with a spirit
which he alone can infuse into the ar
my. The assumed owners Of the two
Mexican steamers-an English mercan
tile firm-have offered them for sale to
the Spanish authorities of Havana.
They talked of purchasing one of
them-the iron steamer--with the
wooden one they would have nothing
to do.
Capt. Howard made special inquiries
about the hitting out of privatcers in
havana Not vessel of the kind has
left there, and not one will leave with
the sanction of the authorities.

WELLiNGToN.-TH Colossal Statue of
'Ihe Iron Duke."-We learn from late
London papers, that colossal and eques-
trlan statue of the Duke of Wellington,
which has employed Wyatt, the artist
ten years constant labor, is at length
completed; and was, at the latest dates.
ready to be raised to its destined posi-
ton on the top Of the triumpha gate
way at Constitution Hill. The horse
and its rider have consumed between
forty and fifty tons Of metal, and such
are the dimentions of the statue that a
man on horseback may pass between
the horses legs. You can decend by
a ladder into its capacious stomach, and
there is goodly compartment, in which
some fifty men might be packed away,
and in which, it is stated, that thirteen
adventurous guests have actually dined.
The head is six feet in length, datum
upon which the connoisseurs in horse
flesh may judge Of The other proportions
OF the enormous quadruped. The horse
is standing at ease" on its four legs,
and the Duke is also in an attitude of
repose; with the exception Of the right
hand, which is extended, holding :ele-
scope, as in the act of giving the word
of command on the field of battle. The
Of this statue, W hich was
expected soon TO take place, is anticipa-
ted as grdtd national event.
