caused quite a sensation in the fashiona-
Bile circles Of London 1t is thus describ ed:
The form of the cloak is copied from

cut, and the interstices are filed up with
tass elled open work in gold. The cloak

hopes and fears for his return. She had
received but one token of his regard since
he left, but this W as all he had taught her
to expect, and she treasured this one as
surance of his success and unalterable af-
bissful hopes. She felt that he was con-

Every week, every day was counted anx-

awaited her--the next intelligence was
of his non arrival; no particular cause was
assigned. She scarcely heard it noticed

excited with the dashiug height of their

Mason had just returned with great

him the talk and rage of the town. Coupled

the distinguished faVors it heaped upon
his family.
But it is time we return TO Edward.
There is something in the very idea of be.
ing an orphan, which engenders melan-
choly cast, and often sternness in the
character. With Edward it had so much |
the effect as to impart gravity and de-
cision of character beyond his years.

0N5- The following is IA closing para.
graph, of the eulogy upon the life and
character of Gen. HAMER, delivered by u.
7. Disney, Esq,
'ln the bloody street Of Monterey,
when the death storm was at it highest.
and the shattering voley came pealing
down, when the wild huzza and the mus
kets' crash and the commons deadly boom
told how the fatal work progressed
at his post he braved the terrors of the
field. On thousand wings came flying
the messengers of death--the earth was
bathed in gore--the Star. Spangled ban-
ner tluttered in the smoke until the con-
querins power Of the freeman's arm plant-
ed it on the topm0st tower of the captur-
ed town. But not fated there TO die, he
escaped every danger Of the day. Not
among scenes Of blood and carnage--not
amid the groans of the wounded and the
shrieks of the dying was his career TO
close-but when all was done, and the
battles strife had slept, the fat came; and
disease--destroyed what the fight had
spared. Thomas l.. HAMER has passed
from among us-may we profit by the ex-
ample Of his life.'

A COUNTRY LIFE.

A. SOSAN ~ lAtI
How sacred and how innocent
A country life appears
How free from tumult, discomfort,
From fattery or fears!
This was the first and happiest life,
When man enjoyed himself,
TIL pride exchanged peace for strife,
And happiness for pelf.
Twas here the poets were inspired,
Here taught the multitude;
The brave they here with honor fired,
And civilized the rude.
That golden age did entertain
81 No passion but of love;
The thoughts of ruling and of gain
Did ne 'er their fancies move.
Them that do covet only rest,
A cottage will suffice:
IL Is not brave to be possessed
Of earth, but to despiso.
Opinion is the rate of this,
From hence our peace doth flow;
/ have better fate than kings,
Because | think it so,
When all the stormy world doth roar,
How unconcern'd am l!
| cannot fear to tumble lower,
Who never could be high.
Secure in these unenvied walls,
think not on the state,
And pity no mans case that falls
From his ambitions height.
Silence and innocence are safe;
A heart that's nobly true,
AT all these little arts can laugh;
That do the world subdue!

ROYAL FLOUR ANDA ROYAL PRIcE.--
Last fall, Mr.. Henry Smith, an enterpri s.
ing miller of lie Roy, in this county, sent
6 barrels oftbe choicest superine Genesee
-four, manufactured at his mill in Wheat
land, Monroe Co., to Queen Victoria, and
for which, in due time, he received from
her Majesty the comfortable little sum of
$4,000! The -four was put up in highly
finished barrels, neatly vanished, enclos-
ed in sacks, and forwarded direct TO the
Queen al London.
This fortunate experiment upon the ap,
petite of Royalty, seems TO have suited
her Majesty's palate so nicely, that in ad
dition to the ample remuneration for his
first adventure, he has recently received
an order direct from London, for 300G
bbls. more, sof the same sort which he has
promptly forwsrded.--Baiaria Times.
