TIE SLAVES DREAM.
BY II. W. LoNGFELLow

By H. W. LoNGFELLow-
Beside the ungathered rice he lay
Ills sickle in his haId;
Ills breast was bare, his matted hair
Was buried in the sand
Again, in the mist and shadow Of sleep,
He saw his native land.
Wide through the landscape of his dreams
The lorlly Niger flowed;
Beneath the palm-trees on the plain
Once more king he strobe;
And heard the tinkling caravans
Descend the mountain-road.
lie saw once more his dark-cyed queen
Among her children stand;
They clasped his neck, they kissed his check,
They held him by the hand -
A tear burst from the sleeper's lids,
And fell into the sand
And then, at furious speed, he rode
Along the Myers bank;
His bride reins were golden chains,
And, with a martial clank,
At each leap he could feel his scabbard of stee
Shifting his stations flank.
Before him, like 4 blood-rcd flag,
The bright famingocs flew;
From morn till night he followed their fight,
Der plains where the tamarind grew,
Till he saw the roofs of Cafl'rc huts,
And the ocean rose 10 view.
AT night he heard the lien roar,
And the hyena scream,
And the riycr-horsc rs he crushed the reeds,
Beside some hidden stream;
And it passed, like glorious roll of drums,
Through the triumph of his dream.
The forests, with their myriad tongues,
Shouted of liberty
And the Blast of the Desert cried aloud,
With a voice so wild and free,
That he started in his sleep and smiled
At their tempcstuons glec.
lie did not feel the drivers whip,
Nor the burning heat of day;
For Death had illumincd the Land of Sleep,
And his lifcicss body lay
a worn out fcttcr, that the soul
Had broken and thrown awayl

RAILROAD TO OGDENSBURGH.

"Boston as it triH be-The Great Emporium Of
the Union"
REMARKS BY P. p. T. DEGRAND, AT Hike

SHORE RAILROAD, JAM, 1S49.
Mr. President and Fellow- Citizens-Allow
me to present, for your consideration, the
great project of making the capital OF New
England ''he shipping port, and the great mart
for The great West."
That this can be done, rests upon the SIM
plest elements, and is susceptible of the clear
est demonstration, as You will readily perceive,
by the brief statements of facts which l viii
now place before you.

When we take into view that the trade Of
the lakes already exceeds in amount the whole
of our exports to foreign countries, from the
whole United States-and that it doubles ev-
cry four years,--we are lost in amazement,
while contemplating the future importance Of
that trade, thus thrown into the lap Of New
England, with its %, 900 miles of inland nav
igaton of an inland navigation, which finds
no parallel in the annals Of the world.

1t will thus be perceived that the freigh
from Cleveland to Boston will be cheaper
than to New York, when the railroad to Og
densburgh is completed-a there will, be
sides, be considerable saving in the time o
transmission
The returns for the West will, of course
have like advantage over New York city
when sent from Boston.

ENGLISH RAILwAYs.-From an analysis
of recent returns of railroads in Great
Britain and Ireland, it appears that the
number OF miles Of railroad open for use,
on the 30th June last, was 5,447. The
number of passengers conveyed during the
preceding half-year was 2S,76l, 1896. The
number of persons killed on the railroads
during that period was SO, and Of persons
injured 10. OF the persons killed, IL were
passengers, of whom were killed from
causes beyond their own control, and 7 in
consequence of their own misconduct, OF
want Of caution OF the other persons
killed, 81 were persons in the employ OF
the railway companies or of contractors,
and Il were trespassers or persons in nc
way connected with the railroads, who
lost their lives in consequence of improp-
erly crossing or standing on the tracks.
Queen Victoria and the royal family, on
her return from her late visit in the high
lands of Scotland, for the first time made
her return journey the whole way by rail
road. II was proposed to make the Jour
ney from the seat of Earl Grey in North
cumberland, near the Scottish border, to the
Isle of Wight, distance Of $50 miles, in
two DAYS.

Of authentic documents. Its length should
not deter any one from reading it, for il
contains more elaborate investigation OF
the title set up by Great Britain in behalf
of the Mosquito king than we have found
elsewhere. For the information it embo-
dies, and its arrangement and analysis Of
historical facts bearing upon the question,
it will no doubt command very general
