One ramble through the woods with me,
Thou dear companion Of my days! Y
Those mighty woods, how quietly h sAV
They sleep in autumn's golden haze!
The gay leaves, twinkling in the breeze,
Sill to the forest branches cling, 5as
They lie like blossoms on the trees-Ae,
The brightest blossoms Of the spring.
Flowers linger in each sheltered nook,
And still the cheerful song of bird,
And murmur of the bee and brook, Ea a'i
Through all lhequiet groves is heard; b
And call Of kline that sauntering browse,
And squirrel, chirping as he hides,
Where gorgeonsly, with crimson boughs,
The creeper clothes the oaks grey sides.
How mild the light in all the skies! .-g3sa
How balmy this south wind blows!
The smile of God around us lies,
His rest IS in this deep repose.
These whispers Of the flowing air, f3H5e
These waters that in music tall, ass A,
These sounds Of peaceful life, declare
~ - wv e"ot hSSPo uhu HuSuCo oil.
Then let us to the forest shade, al s
And roam its path the live long day; 81, 4
These glorious hours Were never made RI
In lfe's duh cares 10 waste away.
Well wander by the running stream, f
And pull the wild grape hanging DER,
And list the fishers startling scream, a.s NJ.
That perches BY the pebbly shore, II ~,
And when the sun, to his repose H
Links in the rosy west at even, ft)fT
And over field and forest throws
A hue that makes them mike heaven.
We'll overlook the glorious land, 'a
From the green brink oil yonder height,
And silently adore the hand, r a..y ,.
7 That made our land so fair so bright.

The House then took up the Railroad Iron

MIR Stephen Adams of Miss, moved to lay
it on the table, on which the yeas and nays
were taken Yeas 1871; Nays 40. So the
bill was laid on the table.
The rules were suspended for an hour in or

| DEN n Il,
Mr. Benton laid upon the table the map o
| Oregon, referred to by him yesterday. III,
presented the letter relative to the Harbo
Survey at the mouth of the Columbia River
| which was referred to the Committee OF
Printing.
Mr. Benton, from Committee of referenc,
on the Army Appropriation bill,reported they
had met the Committee of the House, ant
we're unable to agree. He moved that tho
Senate insist upon its own amendments, ant
upon its disagreement to those of the House
which was agreed to.
The bill to define the boundaries of Iowa
was taken up and passed.
The bill to sell mineral lands on Lake Su-
perior, including Isle Royal and other islands
ON Lake Superior, was taken up and passed
The Sub-Treasury bill was next taken up
Mr. Webster corrected the error in the edi-
torial columns of The Union of last night, rel
alive to the new Tariff bill and false invoices
which stated that the value of goods was to be
determined by value in New York, Boston,
&C., and not by invoice. A more enormous
error had never been committed. The truth
is exactly the reverse; the value was to be
determined at the place where the goods
were imported. More care should be observ-
ed by persons making such statements.
MIR. Webster then discussed the Sub Treas
ury system, and pointed out the evil conse-
quences which he said would result if the
measure should go into operation.
The debate was continued by Messrs Niles,
Speight and Calhoun in favor of the bill, and
by Messrs. Evans, Simmons, Miller and Crit
tenden against it. The bill was then read a
third time and passed.

The Navy Appropriation bill was then ta-
ken up, on the subject of Dry Docks. All a.
mcndments proposed were rejected, and the
section changing the Appropriation for a Ma
Wy Yard at Memphis, so as to build a rope
walk, instead, was stricken out, and the bill
ordered to third reading. Adjourned.

A Resolution was adopted to stop the debate

The House then resolved itself into Com

"a The following is James Watson Webb's
definition OF what constitutes Christian:
"To be Christian, man must believe in
Christ as the Messiah; his martyrdom, the
suiflclency of his atonement and future
state of rewards and punishments."
Probably he expects that any little pecca-
dilloes of his own, such as unfolding Slave
rry, fighting duels, getting up mobs, to murder
his neighbors, land burn their houses over their
heads, will be visited with the same leniency
by the Supreme Governor, as the duel for
which he was sentenced to the States prison
was by the Governor of New York.-Anti-
Slavery Standard.

But while have witnessed many successful
experiments in clairvoyance, l have see n
more attempts that were entire failures
From all that have seen l should not have
any confidence in any clairvoyant revelation
that could not be tested. l have no doubt
however as to the truth of clairvoyance.-
But should be cautious about allowing my
self to be led by its enchantment into the
regions of the unknown and unknowable
AS an instance of independent
clairyoyance the following was, perhaps as
convincing to me as any within my expert
ence. On pleasant evening, a company of
young people were assembled for social Wis
it. l Twas one ofthat company. At the place
where we assembled there happened to be
young man upon whom the sympathetic sleep
had been induced several times. The person
who had induced this sleep was also present.
During the evening to crafty the curiosity
of those present, he induced the sleep again.
Several amusing experiments were perform
ed. At length to test his clairvoyance l ask
ed the operator if he (the subjecD would be
able to tell what I should d. if should 60
into another room? Said he did not know,
but that we could try the experiment then
passed out of the room with one of the young
ladies that stood by my side. AS we passed
through and closed the door, I heard the OPP
orator tell the subject to watch and see where
we went and what we did. We went thro
one room, entered another and closed the
door. The rooms were SO situated that had
both doors been open no mortal in the wax
ing state could have seen us from where he
was. Neither the subject nor the operator
knew the situation of the room in which we
were, having never been in it. had no
thoughts of any thing in particular that
should do, when we entered the room. We
passed round the room and stopped before a
table, on which were some books. A large
mirror was suspended from the ceiling over
the table. l raised and glanced at one of the
books for moment, then, gazing into the
mirror my eyes rested upon the image Of
her who stood by me ; turning from the
beautiful image Qor it was indeed beautifully |
kissed the more beautiful original. The |
thought of SO doing occurred at the instant
that and the act were Simultaneous. Return
ing to the apartment in which we left the
sleep-waker, we were informed by those pres
ent, that he said that he saw us all the time,
and also that he announced what we were
doing, as fast as the actions were performed,
What they related to us that he had said, a
greed exactly with what we had done. 1t
was strange, but there was no way to evade
the fact. How he perceived what we were
doing, is problem yet to be solved. Other
instances of clairvoyance that have obscrv-
ed might be given, but l have perhaps, al
ready prolonged this article too far, 1t was
my design to have said something in relation
to the prescribing for disease by this power,
and also the application of this influence for
the removal of disease, but this too must be
f. j. FAIR.
