WE ARB GROWlNG 0LD.

We are growing old-how the thought will rise
when glance is backward cast
On some long-remembered spot that lies
In the silence of the past.
1t may be the shrine Of our early vows,
Or the tomb Of early tears; 3s5sl#.
But it seems like far. off isle to US,
In the stormy seas Of years.
OH wide and wild are the waves that part
Our steps from its greenness now,
And we miss the Joy of many heart,
And the light Of many brow;
Fof deep Der many stately bark ~, .t r-
Have the whelming pillows rolled
That steered with us from that early mark
On, friends! we are growing old!
Old in the dimness Of the dust 45a.
OF our daily tolls and cares
Old in the wrecks Of love and trust
winch our burthened memory BEARS
Each form may wear to the passing gaze
The bloom Of life's freshness vet,
And beams may brighten our latter days
Which the morning never met
But oh! the changes we have seen,
In the faf and winding way
The graves in our paths that have grown green
And the locks that have grown gray!
The winters still on our own NAV snare
The sable or the gold;
But we see their SHOWS upon brighter hair,
And, friends, we are growing old!
We have gained the worlds cold wisdom now,
we have learned 10 pause and fear,
But where are living founts whose flow
Was a joy of heart to hear?
we have won the wealth Of many cline,
And the lore of many page;
But where is the hope that saw in time
But its boundless heritage?
Will It come again when the violet wakes
And the youth their woods renew?
We have stood in the light of sunny brakes i,
Where the bloom is deep and blue;
And our souls might joy in the spring time then,
But the Joy was faint and cold;
For it never could give US the youth again
OF hearts that are growing old! 81

thrt quantity Of bullion was generally
rather heavy. Tom was in cloyer--the
$1,000 bill got whispered about, and one
Of his creditors, fashionable tailor, insist.
ed on trusting him for another suit; hi
yielded, after much persuasion, and it was
astonishing how every thing altered with
Toms appearance. His note was good
Tor any sum now, and 1t was pleasure "a
make his acquaintance.
In the course Of about six months, the
landlord thought he would just hint to Tom
that small check would be agreeable as
they were hard pushed. The hint was
given, and he received check-any-
thing but cash one though. Tom yery
cody informed him that The agent, who
had raised his hopes was rascally i'm
poster.
''But the $1,000 bill, Mr.. H.a" said
the landlord inquiringly.
"Was handed to me by the rogue to
keep up appearances" cooliy responded
Tom.
81 shall seize your baggage SIR" cried
the enraged host.
Il can't help it, my dear fellow" said
Tom; s'you know if | had a pocket fall
OF rocks you should share them; for |
like you, vastly--I do--cuss me i'll dont, !,
50 keep cool, and take the baggage until !
make draw and raise this little sum-
The trunk was seized, and so roughly
that 1t burst open, when the landlord dis
covered that il Tom had no pocket full ol
rocks, it was because he had bestowed
them all in his trunk, and that accounted
very naturally for its being so heavy!

FRoM SorrH AMERIcA.-By The arri-
val Of the Cumberland, Capt. Philips, at
Philadelphia, we have advices from Per-
nambuco to the 9th October. The EN-
peror's visit to the South is attributed to
designs upon the Banda Oriental, which
formed part Of the Brazilian Empire some
years ago, but is now In possession Of the
allied monarchies. The Brazilian Secre-
tary for foreign affairs has stated in the
Chamber Of Deputies. that the interference
Of France and England is in accordance
with the wishes Of the Brazilian govern
ment, and the destruction Of the Southern
Republics is designed to avert the dan
gers which would surround that Monar-
chy should they continue to progress in
in power and influence.
The bark Active at Baltimore brings
advices from Rio Janeiro to the 9th Oct.
inclusive, and from Bnenos Ayres to the
18th October. The blockade Of Buenos
Ayres was vigorously maintained, and in
surrectionary movements are going on in
the interior, under emissaries employ ed

@2 LETTER 1.
To The Editor oft Onion:

SIR-The Territory Of Oregon, extend.
ing from the Rocky mountains to the Pacific
ocean, distance of over thousand miles,
and from AZ . to 81 . 40 north latitude,
may, as to the general features Of the coun-
try, be conveniently brought under three
great divisions. The first or eastern di.
vision is the most extensive and least val
liable. 1t is sterile in many portions: bu,
owing to the mildness Of the climate, and
the nutriciousness of the grass, vast herds
OF buffalo have there summered and win.
tered from times immemorial. Domestic
herds have, at Fort Hail and elsewhere
done the same; and large caravans of lader
horses have annually passed through it ir
the most unfavorable seasons Of the year
well subsisting upon the grass indigenous
to the country-tastening the Conviction
that even eastern Oregon must be of much
value as one of the best ana most exten.
siye grazing districts in the world. The
water courses from the eastern extreme e
the Pacific ocean are rapid in their de.
scent, not admitting of an extensive navi.
gation-even the Columbia being nayiea.
bic for only 1876 miles. Their freouen,
interruptions by the cascades and rapids
have produced water privileges unlimited
as to extent and power, warranting the
conclusion that this country is destined, by
the facilities furnished by nature, to be-
come large manufacturing country; more
particularly as wool may be grown cheap
er and easier than in any other portion Of
the known world. Upon Bear river, be-
tween the Rocky mountains and Fort Hall,
and a considerable district about and en-
bracing that eort-some eight hundred
miles from the Pacifc-we find favorable
surface, fine grass, pleasant scenery, and
good soil; but the country is sparsely tim
bered with trees Of stinted growth. for
bear dwelling upon the value and interest
ing character of the soda springs in this
region, intending to devote to them more
extended notice hereafter. Following the
great smigration-road at Fremont's Pass,
and pursuing its direct and onward course
over most favorable surface for high
way, we come to annother portion of Ore
gon more valuable for civilized man 10
QWell In. ##E 4sHHt tt &
The scenery in the neighborhood of the
Boisee river, is varied, grand, and impos-
ing; the Wales, battle-ground, and hills we'll
grassed; the timbers of better growth, and
here and there little district better adj j.
apted to agriculture. We now come to
that portion embracing the Elae noun
tains, the Grand Ronde, and all that dis
trict from Burnt river to the Cascade noun
tains, covering an extent Of country OF
about 400 miles from east to west. Here
the climate is remarkable for its extreme
salubrity; the wooded districts are well
timbered with cedar, fir, oak, &c.; the
scenery pleasingly diversified: and all ma
ture around the locations of the pioas mis-
sionary establishments planted there, is
wearing milder and more agreeable as

California.

The Baltimore Patriot publishes an ex-
tract of letter from an American citizen
in California. He says that the Califor-
mans have great jealousy of the Mexi-
cans whose authority there, is barely nom-
inal, and for the American settlers, espe-
cially those who come over the mountains.
The writer adds:
In the meantime, our people, like sure
heavy and sullen tide, are overhowing the
country. Among them / can almost i'm
agine myself in India. Most of the peo-
pie who first enter Oregon, eventually fall
down into California. As an evidence Of
the imperceptible manner in which they
come in, an immigrant couple were mar
ried short time since at our Consul's in
Montery, and the house was filed with
tall, gaunt back-woodsmen. The mex: day,
the Governor sent to enquire where so
many foreigners had come from; in the
meantime they he'd all dispersed, and the
Consul himself could not tell whence they
had come, nor whence they had gone.
You must not suppose that I, more than
yourself, advocate the principle Of terrific
rial aggression. Yet believing as do, that
the contests of the world are hereafter to
be, not so much between individual inte-
rests, as between great principles influence
ing the well being Of man at large; and that
the great contest going on, is between the
democratic (not in party sense) and mo-
narchial principles, the latter having nearly
fulfilled their purposes in the education Of
mankind, l think I can foresee the inevi-
table destiny Of this territory, one of the
most efficient fortresses from which new
and liberal are to combat old and despotic
institutions. Circumstances known to me
here, assure me that Great Britain, as the
watchdog Of despotism, sees the same
thing, and is ready to arouse every energy
to impede such result. If the view
present is correct, it would indicate our
policy in case of belligerent relations.
