The Philosophy of Endurance.
BY MACKAY.

Were the lonely acorn never bound
In the rude cold grasp OF the rotting ground
Did the rigid frost never harden up
The mould above its bursting cup;
Were it never soak'd in the rain and hail,
Or child by the breath of the wintry gale,
1t would not sprou. in the sunshine free,
Or give the promise OF a tree;
1t would not spread to the summer air
Its lengthening boughs and branches fair,
To form a bower where, in starry nights,
Young Love mightdream unknown delights;
Or stand in the woods among its peers,
Fed by the dews of a thousand years.
Were never the dull, unseemly ore
Dragged from the depths where it slept OF yore
Were it never cast into scorching flame,
To be purged of impurity and shame;
Were it never molten mid burning brands,
Or bruis'd and beaten by stalwart hands,
Ewould never be known as a thing o fworth;
1t would never emerge to a nobler birth;
II would never be form'd into mystic rings,
To fstter Loves erratic wings;
Il would never shine amid priceless gems.
Or the girth Of imperial diadems;
Nor become to the worlds power and a pride,
CHERISHED, adored, and deifed.
So, thou, o man of a noble soul,
Starting in view Of a glorious goal.
Vert thou never expo.ed to the blasts, forlorr
The storms of sorrow--the sleets of %scorn;
Vert thou never refined in pitiless FIRE,
From the dross Of thy low and mean desire;
Vert thou never taught to feel and know
That the truest love has its roots in woe,
Thou would'st never unravel the complex plan
Or reach half way to the perfect man;
Thou would'st never attain ID tranquil height
Where wisdom puri6es the sight.
And God unfoldst to the humblest gaze
The bliss and beauty oil His ways.

much solemn palaver about the ,ime-hal.

Of our ancestors, as when attempts arc

Of their folly. Antiquity is the young

witches, who believed in aslrology, dem.

Life A, a Dream 1 Cherish.
BY G sy o


Youthful hearts will seek Tomances-
Youthful hearts will have their fancies
And there is a dream ] cherish
That is with ME all the day,
OF a grand, old tree that %springeth,
Where its waving foliage fingeth
A soft shadow on the easement,
Where ! muse the hours away
A sofl shadow, weary never
ofits light and shifting play.
This ] dream-an angel spirit
Is forever lowering near il,
And within II and above il,
With a mission from the sky
For the old tree seems TO love me,
As It waves its boughs above me
With a-faint and gentle murmur,
OF a low and saddened sigh
For IT seems TO guard and cherish
Even the ~wsyward dreamer-l!
There's a whisper and a blessing
In the beautiful caressing
Ofihe leaves that stoop to kiss me
As lean upon the sill;
And their murmur makes a feeling
That on earth hath no revealing,
But that sleepeth in my bosom
Mute, and eloquent, and still,
And their touch upon my forehead
Wakes a strangely pleasant thrill.
Where the topmast boughs are swinging
And the waving leaves are singing,
One low song Of love forever
To the azure up on high,
Does my sonl delight TO hover,
With the cool leaves for a cover,
Looking up into the sky -
With a motion soft as music
Swinging in the tTee-fop high!
Oh! how blessed is my wild spirit,
When no earthly thought is near il,
As it lies mid dreams and visions
In the arms OF the old tree
All the whispering leaflets bless IL,
And the wild wind doth csress il,
And the soft and dreamy azure
Can my spirit only see,
And that seems 10 grow and deepen
Into strange ininity.
But there is a solemn hour
When the tree hath wilder power
In the deep and starry midnight,
When ] sit and watched the sky
When the foliage means and shivers
And the starlight DER it quivers,
And the shadows creep and tremble
Ger The easement where they lie
Then the shadow and the whisper
Thrill my soul with mystery!
When the summer-day is breaking,
And the earth is slowly waking
When | throw the shutter open
To the morning fresh and fair,
Then the spray doth bend before ne,
Dashing shining dew drops Ger me,
While the little leaves a-laughing,
Clap their hands in the bright air,
As the peIfumed shower Of jewels
Sparkles in my unbound hair.
Oh! know nc monarch olden
Wore a crown so brightly golden
Nor a robe as richly crimson
As the tree that loves me, wore,
When the air was bright and dreaming,
And the heavens were blue and cleaning
In the glorious days Of Autumn,
That are now, alas! no more.
Then its murmur grew SO mournful
AS the sunny hours past Ger.
Therefore, as my hayward spirit
Is forever blessed when near it
As it seems 10 know and love me,
And is. SO beloved by me
As its every whisper thrills Inc,
And its midnight shadow fills me
With a thought Of mystery
Do l think some angel mission,
Hovers ever in that ircei

CRY ExrENDrTuREs-WAsTE or PumIc MONEY
The amount Of public money wasefully eH-
pended by the corporation of this city has been
regularly increasing from year to year. AT every
sitting Of the Board Of Aldermen or Supervisors,
we projects encouraged and passed, and bills
allowed with the utmost extravagance, and wanton
wasting Of the public funds.
report has now been made, justifying the en-
largement Of the Battery at half million, or
million and half expenditure, if it should be per-
mitted to be undertaken by the taxpayers and
politicians We have also observed the bull of
one Huff, presented to the Board Of Supervisors,
claiming $1,000 for compensation crier Of the
Recorders Court, at a time, too, when, ne il s
alleged, such an office had been abolished and
was contrary TO law.
We might enumerste many other items Of waste

10 investigate this terrible waste Of the public
money, which has been INDUCED in by the corpo-
p~se ssthorities Of our city.

We do not know how all this is or may be; but
there must be a large amount Of discomfort among
nearly six thousand disappointed persons, who
have been IN expectation Of an appointment to
office. That Mr. Maxwell should commit some
errors, we think possible enough He is, like the
rest of US, born in original sin all flesh is grass;
and he is liable to make mistakes and blunders,
well as any other person. Yet we believe the
Collector has piey, purity, and patience enough
to find out what right, and carry it into effect,
in consonance with the high purposes, upright
views, and stern integrity of the President, from
whom he has received his own appointment.

TIE DrsarroINTED the 100 who have been
recently appointed by the new Collector to fat
places in the Custom House, are revealing IN the
spolls, the 8, 500 disappointed wing politicians in
this city are filling every GROCERY and BARRIERS
shop about town with their grievances, and
almost ready to tear their eyes out, and pull their
hair of, from veraiion with the Collector. We
have received, and receive every day, numerous
complaints against the Collector, for his want Of
discrimination, his narrowness Of mlnd-the innate
bad qualities which have just been discovered in
hs character-by those who have been disappointed
in obtaining office from him. Some assert that he
has brought number of persons down from Nyack,
his old companions in duck-shooting or squirrel
hunting, and has given them places in the Custom
House, instead of taking up the Woodworking
wings. Others cay that he has retained in offices
some Of the most bitter locofocos, and even some
who were not only opposed TO General Taylsr, but
who spoke and wrote dIsrespectfully about the old
hero during the late canvass.
Among those Of the latter class il appears Is VI
M Noah, who comes IN for much censure among
the disappointed. Mr.. Noah was appointed by the
late Collector TO pretty fat berth, with very
email amount Of public duty-ii any duty at all.
