tenderness quite poetic; aud their kindness ex-
tends 10 all the brute creation by which they
are surrounded. For myself, have the great
est affection and confidence in these people ;
besides, admire their diamond eyes, their
fine teeth, and the grace and agility (withont
capers) which is peculiar To them alone
When one sees these people, ones thoughts
naturally revert to the time Of Abraham, when
man had not his head filled with the false sys-
tens Of the present day."

HENRY CLAY.
nv AuorsgsE DccATre.
There Is an old man in our land
A man Of mighty mind -
And he hath served his country well,
And ,oiled for human kind.---
And one who better loves our land
10 sooth. We may not find.
He hath uprsised his voice OF yor,
And spoken words oil might,
And reused the struggling hearts Of men
To battle for the right
And at his word, Ger Grecian hills
Beamed forth lair Freedoms light.
His words within the hearts of men,
Like Ere were won't TO glow,
And trembling at their iaunder tones
The giant Wrong, bent low.
Aa heath Judea's trump fell down
The walls Of jericho.
And he hath given his irst born son,
The glorious and the brave,
An Offering at his countsys shirue.
To fiji & patriots grave
An Abraham, at the word Of God,
His best belov'd one gave.
And through the spread, glorious land
Where freedoms shrine IS reared,
A life Of modest deeds hath made,
This man to all enteared:
And he is loved By friends, as well
As he BY fees IS feared.
Ye, stands tha; noble soulel old man,
Before his country 'seYe-
As stood, amid the Forums cFow3s,
HIM Of Corioh,-
With wounds which he dislain. TO show,
With bearing proud aud hlgh.
Ard viii We, who have marked his life,
Ye who have grasped his hand
Ye who have felt his thrilling words
Arouse the startled land
VIA ye behold him in your midst,
neutrality-suspicious.?
Shame on you've for whom he toiled,
II you forget his deeds
Shane on you, il ye barb that heart
Mich now with sorrow bleeds--
Shame on you--ifye now refuse
The sympathy he needs!

A FULFILLING RIDDLE.

There is how in this place Prophet whose
generation was before Adam; was with Noah in
the Ark; and with Christ just before he was cru
Gifted. He knew not his father and was never
nursed by his mother. He goes barefoot, like
frar he wears no hat, and his coat is not dyed
spun, knit or woven it is neither silk hair linen
or wool, yet of very fine texture and gloss He
walks boldly in the face of his enemies, without
gun, sword stick; yet such weapon as man
never had, to defend himself with, from his foes
He is often abused by wicked men for their diver
sion, but takes it patiently. He lets all men enjoy
their religion the Protesants his greatest enc
mics, but the Baptists occasionally use him merci-
fully AT "a certain time his voice is heard by all
nations; Che declares theSIeg. - Lord is at
hand y as he prophesies the doors iy open and his
sayings are fonnd true. He takes but little reai
and is admired by all for his vigilance. He does
not sleep on a bed, or in a chair but he is always
standing OF crouched ;-neiher does he put off his
clothes As to his religion he is supposed to in
cline to the Baplists, as he always keeps Lent
His nature does not incline him to eat flesh and he
he drinks nothing stronger than water Though
sometimes apparently proud, he cares not for the
pomp or vanites of this wicked world. He denies
article Of the Christian faith; his voice is shril
and percing--and he never preached but one ser
mon in his life. which was so convincing to a man
of sin, that it drew tears from his eyes. and he
was not easy until he repented. He is neither the
Wandering Jew, the son of Noah an old Leyite,
nor st. John, as some may think ne is.

THE MORNING OF LIFE.

Dow, Jr., thus discourses on the morning Of life
.'My friends, at twenty we are as wild as par
trldges There is no such thing as tanning U.S.
We ride that fierce, fiery, and headstrong animal
Passion, over fences, bitches, hedges and on to the
-, leap the five barred gate of reason, without
touching the curb of discretion, or pulling harder
than titmouse upon the strong rein of Judgment
o at twenty you are perfect locomotives, going at
the rate of sixty miles an hour; your heart is the
boiler-love is the steam which you sometimes
blow off in sighS-and hope, fear, anxiety and jea-
lousy the trains that you drag. At this season
Of life you are filled with the exhiiirating gas OF TO-
nance; every thug to you looks romantic, by
spels--even a jackass phiosophizng over a barrel
of vinegar. You (both girls and boys) now, read
novels till your gizzards sofened into the pits of
your stomachs. o, know how you feel you
feel as though you would like to soar from star to
star kick little planets aside, take crazy comets by
the blazing hair, and pull them into their right
courses--sit upon the highest peak of thunder
cloud, and bangle the red lightning between your
thumb and finger as watch chan-then drive in
to the golden sunset and sport with the celestial
syrens-speed on, pull the nose of the BLACKBOARD
in the moon-ransack all creation-knock few
panes out of the windows of heaven-and then flu;-
ter down as gently as breeze, and find the dar-
ling object OF your heart mending stockings by a
pine knot torch"

A CICERoNIAN VOLUNTEER.

Yesterday morning, nearly opposite the Agiers
Ferry, quite crowd was gathered around a man
who had evidently been to the wars-his boots
Were wounded, his cap very much bruised, and his
dngy blue jacket gashed in various places. The
face of our returned volunteer was tanned by ex
posture to the sun and arid sands Of Mexico, his
hands were as red as beet, and his pug nose orna
mented with any amount of pimples His whis-
kers and molisaches We're as dense as the chaf bar
raj between Point Isabel and Matamoras, and his
light blue eyes moved in their sockets with sa-
wage kind Of enthusiasm. He was evidently
'higher" than he should have been, but his heart
was in the right place, and from his looks, he APP
peared as brave as steel. To crowd of admirng
listeners, composed of cab-mon in oil-cloth COATS
drsy men in red flannel shirts, and long shore men
in every variety of dilapidated and quaint costume,
our volunteer thus gave vent to his patriotism:
''Feller citizens" said he, ''Pve been down thar.
