q The Washington correspondent Of the
Boston Courier in speaking Of the rumor
that Mr.. Polk and family would visit
Europe during the coming summer, says;
"By, The way, it will be new and attrac-
tive spectacle to see an ex-president, ac-
companied by his accomplished lady, both
in the prime Of life, after having enjoyed
the highest honors Of the world, passing a
portion Of the serene afternoon Of their
life in visiting the great theaters Of re-
nown in the old world, and mingling with
princes aand potentatts. who less ODE
dent TO the will Of the people, still hold
their uneasy seats at the heads, of crumb-
ling governments. The spectacle of a
man who has peacefully assembled from the
most humble station, to the head sof one ne Of
the, greatest (soon to be the greatest !
powers of the globe, and in obedience to
law and the wishes Of the people who
elevated him, as TRANQUILITY laid down the
great powers with which he was tempo
rarily clothed, and decended to the politi-
cal level Of the humblest citixen-such a
spectacle, we say, will hot be without its
moral power and influence orer the minds
OF Europeans, every where whether in
high station or in low."

Z he Straight way to Heaven.

An ietnerant preacher of more zeal than
d. secretion, was in the habit OF accostine
those ne met iii his walks and inquirine
into their spiritual welfare. Passing along
country road that lead through small
settlement, he met simple country fellow
driving cart, loaded With corn.
"Do you believe in God, sir:" said he
TO the countryman.
yves, sir, was the instant reply.
"Do you read your bible, pray 10 your
Maker, and attend to divine worship regu-
larly?" and this string Of questions was
also answered in the affirmative.
GO on your way rejoicing, my lad,
continued he, ''you are III the high way to
hcavcu."
ClcdPole fiourished his whip, and drove
on, much delighted, no doubt, with the
blessed intelligence.
Another person came up by this time,
and he also was interrogated with an un-
ceremonious-
"Do you believe in God, sir?"
"Nhat have you 10 do sir, with what l
believer replied the person accos,ed with
a look of establishment.
''You are in the gall Of bitternss and bond
ofiniquity," cried the offended preacher
look at that poor lad, whistline along
the road, and driving his cart before him
he is on the strait road to heaven"
cit may be SO sir,' said the person
Intercepted, ''but to my certain knowl-
edge, if he's going there, he's going with
a cart load Of stolen corn"
