BRAVO, MAZZINI!

Though brutsh force the game has won,
Triumvir, thou hast nobly done;
Calm courage in a rightfal cause
Gains thee a loftier worlds applause;
And Rome's old heroes from their spheres
Shout, Ginning in with British cheers,
Bravo, Mazzini.
He who, as now, in time of gore,
Tvrannc rule when to restore
Ia Rome fierce invader sought,
Accounted pain and death as nought,
His hand uns,rinkng in the flames;
He, Mutius Scevola, exclaims,
Bravo, Mazzini.
He who the fearful gulf defied,
Which, in the Forum, yawning wide,
Gaped for victim to appease
The ire Of wrathful deities,
A self devoted sacrifice;
Behold, the dauntless Curtius cries,
Bravo, Mazzini!
And they, the grandsire, sire and son.
Who each their country's safety won,
By meeting voluntary death;
They, too, with one united breath,
The plaudts of their brethren swell;
The Deci cry aloud as well,
Bravo, Mazzini!-

He who thousand deaths preferred,
Braving unmoved the direst doom,
To tampering with the veal of Rome;

While Punch cries ditto to them all

The FIRST STEAMBOAT IN THE BACK
WOODS The Louisville papers, in MOTTO
ing the arrival at that place OF the little
steamboat Greenwood from the head
waters of the Kentucky river, says:
This is the boat that one of the noun
tain boys shot at once as she was putting
her way among the hills at the head OF
navigation, some hundred miles higher
ND the river tnan ever before ascended by
a steamer. The hunter thought it was
"the elephant and concluded to have
one shot at him any how, and leveling
his rifle, slet drive right between the
horns,'' and then broke for the hills-hls
ball making a few splinters fly from the
pilot house.

Fu.IA1. ArFEcrIoN-A dutiful and obe-
dent daughter always makes devoted
and faithful wife. Let no man, as he
values his own happiness, marry Wo-
man of an unfilial nature. In spite OF the
guile of Iago, there was much wisdom IN
his remark to Othello, when exciting the
Moor to suspicion of Desdemona's in
tegrity:
"She has deceived her father, and may ,hee."
There is no trai: of endearment more
pleasant than the confiding tenderness of
a Young maiden, in the care and vigilance
of her mother. If she be an only child,
the pleasure with which we contemplate
her silent and cheerful acquiescence in
everv maternal dictate, is greatly en-
HANGED. When the sentiment of love is
first awakened in the heart of such one,
it seems rather to deepen than to divert
the stream of her filial affection. No man
should be so selfish, or so unwise as to
desire the lessening of the pure and holy
obedience, which is the best assurance
of his own enduring felicity. Happy is
he. who has won for himself the fond love
of young creature whose life has been
guarded by mothers prayers. and into
whose spirit the gentle influences of a
mothers mind have descended, like the
dews into the petals of flower which
might else have faded in the morning OF
life.

A SMILE.

ADAY Was BoRN.-The Eastern sky
was marked with cold, dim light Anon
the faint grey lines difused; then they
Grew bright, and brighter and brighter
Still until they filled the horizon-then
thew clomb the unfolding sky and lit the
world with radiance. Ihe glorious sun
burst on the view, and heaven and earth
Law bathed in gorgeous dyes.
The newborn morning smiled in blush
;no loveliness, and nature drank the beau
ty of the scene.
Thus. came into existence virgin
morn.
Ere long, tiny spec of shade hung
far, far away in the atherial fields. Soon
it grew darker and occupied more ex-
tended space, whilst moanful sigh came
floating through the vale. Anon, the
feeble sighing of the afflicted wind ln-
creased into a blast, gale, hurricane,
and then it swept over the world, roaring
like a mighty cataract of leaping, boiling,
anorv. Kissing waters-whilst that lately
t;ny spec, spread wider, wider and darker
till it hung like midnight's mysterious
cloom. a world OF blackness between the
earth and sky. Then the lightning s
blazing fred the surcharged clouds, and
the slumbering thunder woke, and split
the heavens with ire-and RAIN and hail
in torrents turnbled down. Revelling in
his savage freedom. the storm rushed
around the earth, dealing destruction in
its course. The world shrank beneath
the direful change, and tottered in her
fear
So the storm came.
1t passed.
The golden sunlight pierced the clouds
aoain. and smiled once more upon the
world below.
1t soon chased the warning elements
from the azure fields; and ere the day
waned il was robed in all Ter former
brightness. =,
So it is with this life. The morning
dawns and in its childhood's hours our
way is bright and blest. The day wears
on-and as we older grow, the storms
speck rises in our horizon and clouds OBJ
scure our sky. Yet still, life's sunshine
beams above the storm, and though we
bend beneath the fury OF the blast, those
glorious rays wish to dissipate the gloom
and shed their cheerfulness again around
our chequered way.-Dollor Newspaper.

CIVIL ENGINEERING

Will be thoroughly and practically taught in
the Western Military Institute--the Professor,
Col. Morgan, being of the most skillfu and
experienced Engineers in the United States. All
the instruments connected with that department
have been procured at considerable COST and Of the
best quality
The Superintendent takes the liberty of stating
that he is now offered $75 per month, for COM
petent assistant Engineers. One of his former
pupils receives at this time, S., 500 per annum,
Principal Engineer of railroad now under con-
structon in Kentucky-whst others of the same
class are receiving in different parts of the United
States, $4,000, S 500, or 81 200 year as AS
slstant Engineers.
The time is rapidly approaching when there
will be great demand for such as have been pre-
pared, for that vocation, at the Western Military
Institute. Nothing is haSarded in saying that
they will readily command 81 200 or s 500 per
annum. Every man of observation must see that
the gigantic enterprises are ady proposed, will give
birth to hundreds of others, tributary to them
The rapid advancement of our whole country, and
the eagerness Of our people for exploring the hid
den resources of the States and the newly
acquired territory, will give ample scope for ages
to come, to the skill and enterprise of the Engi
neer, the Geologist the Mneralogist, the Surveyor
and the Architect. Young men who have an
aptitsds for the Mathematical and Physical sci
ences, will have wide field opened to them for
engaging in an honorable, healthfu and lucra-
tive pursuit, for which they may be thoroughly
and practically qualified, in short time, and at
small expense, at the Western Military Institute.
