There dwelt in the town poor gentle

She was lovely as an angel. but her eyes

One or two great works in this depart
ment seem to prove that novel-writing may
be used as the medium for conveying almost
all the lessons that formerly were only to
be learnt from the philosopher or the poet.
The essential part Of philosophy is its teach
ing US new truths concerning our nature;
and whether this be done by a didactic
treatise or in the form Of narrative, matters
little; the young and indolent may prefer
the more entertaining method. while graver
minds will the more direct, complete, sys-
tematic; but the nature of the instruction is
the Same for both. The essential part Of
poetry, again, is certainly not the veTsi6ca-
ton; that, except 50 Ear as the dwelling
upon the thought is which it requires, or the
delight which it inspires. may react upon
the mind Of the poet, and stimulate il to

from the wardrobe Of poetry or philosophy,
it may perhaps be said, that in 80 doing they

Between broad fields OF wheat and corn
Is the lowly home where was born;
The peach-tree leans against the wall,
Ana the woodbine wanden over all;
There is the shaded doorway still,
But a strangers foot has crossed the siii'
There is the barnard. as OF yofe,
! can smell the hay from the open oooi'
And sec the busy swallows thfong,
And hear the peewee's mournful song.
But the stranger comes-oh. painful proof
His sheayes are piled TO the heated roof
There is the orchard-the very trees
Where my childhood knew long hours Of ease,
And watched the shadowy moments run
Til my life imbibed more shade than sun:
The swing from the bough still sweeps the air
But the strangers children are swinging there
There bubbles the shady spring below,
With its hulrush brook where the hazels grow
'Twss there found the calamus root,
And watched the minnows poise and shoot,
And heard the robin lave his wing,
But the strangers bucket is af the spring.
On, ye who daily cross the sill,
Step lightly, for love it still;
And when YOU crowd the old barn caves,
Then think what countless harvest sheaves
Have passed within that scented door
To gladden. eyes that are no more.
Deal kindly with those orchard trees;
AMI when your children crowd their knees,
Their sweetest fruit they shall impart,
As il old memories stirred their heart;
To youthful sport still leave the swing,
And in sweet reverence hold the spnng.
The barn. the trees, the brook, the birds,
The meadows with their lowing herds,
The woodbine on the cottage wall
Nv heart still fingers with them all
Ye strengers on my native ell,
Step lightly, for love il still.

These pills contain the four leading properties for

by acting upon the liver, and carrying off the redun-

the liver into full action. In dyspepsia they carry

TIE SIERRA MADRE MovEMENT.--The St.
Louis Republican has the following in regard
TO this movement:
We understand that, during the last few days,
several interviews have taken place at the
Planters House, between an envoy or agent of
the States of Northern Mexico which are ex
pecied TO sanction the declaration of iudepen-
dence and unite in forming the new republic
of Sierra Madre, and Gen. Shields.
LII the indications are that the General has
. accepted the command of the "buffalo hunt,
and will place himself at the head OF the "'Ou-
sci Owls" AT least, such is the impression
of those who take an interest and are involved
in the success Of the enterprise. For our own
part, we doubt the probability of the General
ever excepting the command of such an expi-
dition, although he may have given assurances
TO that effect. A seat in the u. s. Senate, for
six years. is much more comfortable position.
OF the probable chance of attaining this ele-
walton, we presume the General will satisfy
himself, before he volunteers hisseryices either
for Ireland or the Sierre MadrC.
We copied an article from the New Orleans
Delta a few days since, says the Louisville
Journal, which stated that Col. Kinney was
also connected with this expedition. Col. X.
became the purchaser of large number OF
shorses, mules, wagons, &C., sold by the U. S.
Government when the army left Mexico
Much of this property, it is said, he still re-
tains, after having realised handsome profit
upon the sale of portion oft. 1t is also fur
ther intimated that he holds several pieces of
ordnance with arms and ammunition which
were sold by the United States Government in
Mexico, which will be placed al the disposal
OF the new republic.
