GENERAL REFLECTIONS.
Home, sweet home
There's no place like home"

How many respond TO this tender and
patriotic sentiment! 1t is heard, not only
from the parlor, IN the soft soprano of the
fashionable belle: from the street at mid.
night, i'll the lovers harmonious serenade
TO his mistress; upon the stage, and at the
Yublic halls, where music holds her devo-
tees in rapt enchantment: but the merry
cowboy and the rudy milk>maid have
caught the witching note the markets
man, in his journey jog to the city, huns
1t along at morning twilight; and the busy
husbandman, as he turns the rich, yield
ing mould, whistles it to the slow move-
ment of his three-cattle team. But there
is a strange inconsistency, after all, and
practice is too much opposed to principle
The excellent sentiment of this song SO
thoughtlessly, it would seem, chanted by
old andSoung, seems to meet with but lit
ile approval and correspondence in our
conduct. Our ever restlessness, our per,
petual longing for change, turning hither
and thither, like sick man, laboring I'M
der some painful malady, will show if our
music is anything more than thinking
brass and empty sound" This love Of
nome must be affected all. We sing OF
'he pleasures and delights, We tell of the
cohVeniencies, the comforts, the advauta-
ges; and the numberless benefits enjoyed
d' 'he oid domcil of our fathers, and the
scenes oil our youthful Joys; where the
'iu oaAs sun wave over the pasture lands,
and where the famed high top s.Oeeting, of
pilgrim memory, once the queen Of the
orchard, cheers us with the remembrance
Of the rich regales it afforded'in the davs
oi yore. Still discomfort and restless
spirit haunt Us at every turn: away. a,

"a Marietta Smith, whose mysterious dis
appearance created so much excitement in
New York, has been found in Boston The
Boston papers give the following account Of
the matter:
1t was stated that she left her fathers house
on the day other disappearance (Nov. IIth,)
for the Normal School in Grand Street, where
she was employed as an assistant teacher, with
her satchel of books upon her ARM that she
called upon friend in Elizabeth street at /
I-2 o'clock, and left for home, after which she
was not seen or heard from by her relatives.
1t seems that upon leaving New York, she
took passage for his city, and upon her arri-
val here, was carried by hackman to No. &
Nashua street, where she remained only about
twenty-iour hours. I he next day she went
TO South-Berwick, Me, where she remained
several days in the family Of person with
whom she had some slight acquaintance. Re
turning to this city, she stopped with re-
spectacle family in Salutaiion street, where
she has continued to remain, learning the
d. ess making busine S., until the present timG.
Circumstancesled Mr. John L. Andrews strong
" to suspect that she was the girl advertised a.
missing from New York, and at length his suspi-
cion was confirmed, leaving no doubt upon his
mind as to her identity.
On Tuesday morning, Mr. Andrews consulted
the Mayor about the matter, and was advised by
him to send despatch TO the Mayor of New York.
informing him Ct the Circumstances, and request
ing her parents to come Immediately TO this city
his was accordingly done, without the knowl-
edge of the daughter, and yesterday morning the
mother arrived. An officer had been stationed at
the depot to watch the arrival Of the mother, and
to conduct her TO CityHa While Mrs Smith
and the officer were on their way from the depot
they met Marietta in the street. and after the con
fusion occasioned by so unexpected an event had
somewhat subsided, all three repaired to the
Mayors Office.
The daughter, at the time Of meeting. had her
clothes in her hands,and was on her way to a new
home, where she had engaged situation as a
chamber-maid. She appeared TO be very glad
to see her mother, and readily consented to re-
turn to New York, which she did yesterday after
noon, accompanied by the City Marshal.
The young lady gives as the reason for leaving
home that she was not c0ntented with her condi-
tim, and thought her friends claimed too large a
portion of her salary. We understand that her
conduct in this city, so far as is known, has been
strictly correct.

THE KINGS OF THE SOIL.

Black sin may nestle below crest
And crime below 4 crown;
AS good hearts beat meath fustian vest,
As under a silkcn gown.
Shall tales be told of the chiefs who sold
Their sinews to crush and kill,
And never a word be sung or heard
Of the men who reap and till
bow in thanks to the sturdy throng
Who greet the young morn with toll;
And the burden give my earnest song
Shall be this-THE KINGS OF TIE SoIL!
Then sing for the kings who have no crown
But the blue sky DER their head
Never Sultan or Dey had such power as they,
To withhold or to offer bread.
Proud ships may hold both silver and gold,
The wealth of distant strand;
But ships would rot, and be valued not,
Were there none to till the land.
The widest heath, and the widest brake,
Are rich as the richest feet,
For they gladden. the wild birds when they wake
And give them food to eat.
And with willing hand, and spade, and pillow,
The gladlening hour shall come,
When that which is called the waste land" now
Shall ring with the Harvest Home"
Then sing fcr the kings who have no crown
But the blue sky Ger their head
Never Sulta., or Dcy had such power as they,
To withhold or to offer bread Dublin paper.
