Of Staten Island, parts Of which remain in the
same state they were in at the creation, and as
wild as the widest parts of the great West.
Lofty hills and deep valleys, bubbling springs
and rocky glens, can be seen and enjoyed in per-
lection; and when you have satisfied your long
ings, and feel invigorated and refreshed, you
can take the boat and return home in another
hour.
Strange as it may appear, there are hun
dreds and thousands of people born IN TINS
CITY who have never visited Staten Island,
Long Branch, Shrewsbury, Coney Island, Fort
Hamilton Bath, Glencove, Rockaway, Bulls
Ferry. Fort Lee, Greenwood, or any other OF the
FIVE hundred places that are in our immediate
vicinity. And yet they are the only people who
are eternally wailing and responding, because
their pursuits or their means will not allow them
to take trip in the country in the warm season.
They sigh and pant for weeks residence at Sara
toga, Niagara, and other distant places; and con-
slider themselves unfortunate because they cannot
take tour of the lakes, their more favorite fell
lows do. These distant spots are beautiful and
pleasant resorts, and deserve the great praise
that tourists and letter writers have heaped upon
them; but they have their disadvantages as well
as their advantages, particularly SO for these
very people, whose means or business will
not allow Of their visiting them. What use
is there in wishing to 60 to Niagara, when you
can't 60 without making greater sacrifice than
you feel disposed to make, and when, underyour
very nose, you have watering places, to reach
which will cost but trihe in time or money
Take the boat or the railroad in the morning, 60
to Lake Mahopac or Fort Lee, to the beautiful
Greenwood ,toJ amaica, to Rockaway or any other
of these places, and return in the evening. Sure
ly you can afford one day in week or in
month. The benefit you and your family would
receive from trip Of this kind, would, perhaps,
save you fifteen or twenty dollars in physicians
bills.
Let us hear no more barking or growing from
these people. If you wish to 60 to the country,
you can do 30 easily and if you can't go
to Niagara, or sail from Buffalo to Chicago, be
grateful to Providence for endowing your city
as she has, and adjoining its neighborhood with
so many beautiful places, which you can go to
in half an hour or an hour.

WING Reforms.

The Locotocos were in power during the
Administrations Of Grayson and Thomas--a
period of six years. Why did they not et-
feet the reforms they now so DANGEROUSLY
pretend TO want!
The truth is the Wings of Maryland are the
only true reformers, and here are some Of
the evidences ofthat fact:
They have given to the people, the election
of Governor.
They have given to the people, the cleo
ton of their State Senators.
They have limited the terms Of Clerks and
Registers.
They have granted Biennial Sessions of.:.o
Legislature.
They have made the Biennial Session Bill
apart of tine Constitution by which a great
saving OF money is had.
They have reduced the salaries of the
Governor and Secretary of State.
They have taxed Cloks, Registers, h.pec.
tors, &C., who enjoy the perquisites of office,
10 aid in paying the States debt.
Thay have caused the ueahhy stockholders
and holders Of productive paper, to pay an
equal tax with the FARMER who hadhnh-
eric borne all the burden of taxation.
They have given Ito election of the Levy
Court to the people.
They have perfectly restored the faith and

IT'S the lonely hour of midnight-midn ight
solemn, deep and still,
EA the sweeping, painting night-wlnd wakes
its dirges on the hill;
Solemrlv its notes are falling, like funeral an

Back the rosy hours recalling that were wasted
long ago:
And tie lamps of ether gssen family, dnly on
my head,
While vainy, idly listen for Times Distant
lrathery tread;
But deep and ghastIy river, without shore and
without bound,
Glideth onward and forever without music,
without sound;
And the moon my pillow throwsa faint
and ghostly line,
Willie listen to the meanings Of the melan-
choly pine.
Then sweet iancies come upon me of the saint
y ones ofold;
behold the dear departe with their locks of
snow and gold;
Half hear their downy footsteps lift their
echoes from the floor,
As the sainted, rle true-hGartcd tread the halls
Of life once more;
behold their IouId lips parting; halfl hear
their painting breath,
And the heaven is bright above them and the
earth is green beneath;
Forms gilmore than mortal beauty, bards and
patrarchal seers,
They whose actions rust forgotten in the foot-
steps OF the Years
They who, ere their noon OF glory, passed from

And Whose scarce re-echocI story is as rcmem-

CUN 4Te Of the Mind.

Culture Of the understanding is. indeed,
one of the best methods of subduing the
heart to sofness, and redeemins it from that
from the hand of nature. The more our
reason is strengthened, the better she is ena-
bled to keep her seat on the throne, and to
govern those passions which were appointed
TO be her subjects, but which too often REBEL
| and succeed in their unnatural revolt, but
besides the effect of mental culture, in cal
ling forth and increasing the powers of the
reasoning faculty, it seems TO possess an in>
iuence in humanizing the feelings, and mes
lioratingth the native disposition.
Music, painting, and poetry, teach the
mind TO select the agreeable parts of those
objects which surround us, and by habitu-
ating it TO a pure and permanent delight,
gradually supernduce an habtual good hu-
mor-lt is of infinite importance to happi>
ness, TO accustom the mind from infancy TO
turn from deformed and painful scenes. and
to contemplate whatever can be found Of
moral and natural beauty-the spirits under
this benign management contract mildness
and learn TO flow cheery in their smooth
and yielding channels-while on the COM
trary, if the young mind is leased, fretted
and neglected, the passage of the spirit be-
comes rugged, abrupt, exasperated, and the
whole nervous system seems to acquire an
excessive irritabiliy. The i'll treatment Of
children has often made them wretched
for life, tearing the fine contextures of their
nerves, and roughening by example, and by
some secret and internal influence; the very
constitution of their tempeu.
