THE HOUSE ON THE SAND

LIE IloUoE YIN HE SAND.
A traveller came, with axe in hand,
To the beautiful western prairie land;
He Journeyed many weary day,
I'LL a noble river crossed his way;
On Its banks he paused with glistenng eye
Cpralsed to an almost cloudlcss sky,
And gazed on the giant forest trees,
Swayed to and fro in the summers breeze,
Gorgeous wild flowrets grew around =
such brilliant hues are rarely found,
MID haunts OF men, save prairie ground.
"Here'" he exclaimed, "where the wild deer roam.
And Tree BIRDS MARBLE, I'll build my home;
A cabin OF logs, with its matched roof for me
Near this broad clear stream, my dwelling shall be-
may, irlend said voice, "if thoult listen to me,
Who nave telIed from these woodlands many tree
Choose firm rfoundation, thou knowest not the land
Build hlgh on yon rock and not on the sand
Perchance thro' the winter securely thou'lt DWELL
The sprlng tides will rush over valley and DELI
The stranger heard, but the rock looked bare,
And the 1ver banks were lovely and fair.
A hut soon rose, and the yellow grain
Promised many loaded harvest vain;
The wheat was garnefed-a beauteous store
VI heavens rich gifts the prairie farm bore.
~ the lonely man best the guiding hand
Winch had led his steps to that fertile land.
The summer was ended-the winter past
he ice king had bound earth and ocean fast
WIN the flrst breath offspring warning was heard
Passing away as the song of the bird
Beware, beware OF the rising tide p
But he needed not,-"l shall safely abide
Myrooi-tree Is strong, and the river is wide"
AZ midnight it came he woke with the roar
~ tfe swelling waters entering his door;
I lie climbed to the roof in his agony;
Inc waves seemed to mock at his misery,
Higher still higher, away they bore
The hut--and It's inmate was seen no more
As he sank mid the darkness, one look he gave,
From the foaming billows-his fearful grave,
i, 10 the barren rock, standing firm and secure,
Undoubtedly the tide its foundation sure.
There are settlers fearh who despise warnings Civ

THE DIFFICULTY WITH MR.. poussIN

THE DIFFICULTY WITH MR.. POUSSIN.

Mr.. Poussln, has given rise. The New York
Courier gives narrative of the facts similar in the

more particular in describing the circumstances of
the case before Court Martial in Mexico, out of
which Mr.. Poussns first complaints originated

IRELANp.-We have prepared and postponed

"THE EM,cRArsoN FROM IRELAND.--k 10
growing expectation in Ireland that now a
bout to witness one of the most m0menlous opera
tons Of soclety--the removal Of people en- n'dsse
90 distant shore. The half million who have got
off with no very great stir. in the course OF two
years, are but an advance guard to the main body
that follows. 1t must, indeed, be the most furious
impulse or the direst necessity that urge men
mt this season Of the year to cast themselves on the
Deep To brave The wide Atlantic, to be thrown on
they know not what lieadIand shoa, in the storms
and the tugs which beset the wished-or shore, and,
al the best, to land in country still ribbed with leo
aud buried in snow. Yet were told the other
day Of ten emigrani vessels taking refuge in tho
cuve of Cork. of crowds waiting at other ports for
the chance of passage, and of multitudes elected
from their holdings, and nov lodging in tewns, with
no other hope upon earth than to put their feet
on the shore Of the new world. We believe il to
be even as it is described. The failure of the sta
pie crop, the burden of maintaining the victims Of
famine. the impossibiiy of paying rates upon small
holdings, and the invncible objection to pay them
upon holdings of any size, constitute an expelant
force of which the like was never seen. Pauperism,
in all its bearings, is depopuating the island. They
who are paupers, they who expect TO be paupers,
and they who loathe the thought Of contributing
their hard earnings to be squandered Upon paupers,
are equally out of heart, and resolved to go else
where. When the mind is resolved, the means on
ly are wanting. But among the many redeemng
virtues of this ntractabe and unfortunate race, is
strength of family affection which distance, no
time, no pressure, no prosperity destroy and
every of the half million who have safely effec-
ted their retreat his first earnings to tho
pious work Of rescuing parent, brother, sis
ter from Ireland"

THE EMPEROR NICHoLAs-Probably many Of
readers of the fact that there exists in
Russia an organic law, dating back to period an
terror the time Of the Great Peter, by which il is
ordained that Emperor shall continue on tho
throne for more than twenty five years. This pro-
vision has hitherto been scrupulousy observed. The
blood stained annals of the Muscoviie show that
the reign of many of the Cars has violently ter
minated long before the completion of that period;
but those who have escaped the ponard, the cord,
and other sangunary instruments Of Death, have
all abdcated at the end of quarter Of century, in
favor of the heir presumpiive. BY remaining
the throne, the monarch braves the will of the
powerful, and naughty and INSCRIPTIONS in the
world and exposes himself 10 eminent hazard Of as
sassnation On the first Of December close at
hand, the Emperor Nicholas will have completed
the twenty second year of his reign, and of course
in three years from that time, the epoch will
rive, when by operation Of the law he must cease
to reign. Ii is stated in English paper that there
is good deal Of speculation a: ST. Petersburg to
what will be the course Of the touching the pass
ing of this crisis Some believe that he will abdicate
in favor Of the prnceroya Alexander, ard will him
self retire to Germany. Others think he will con-
woke the Senate and propose repeal OF the law. II
is certain, however, that Nicholas avoids allusion
to the subject among his mobiles, though he has it in
prophetic view, as is proved by his having remark

COPPER CoINs.-Among the many CURIOUS es-
adjustments in New York is one for manufacturing
copper coin. The market is SO glutted with cop
per that it has fallen in value far below what il is
estimated to be worth as currency. The weight Of
copper coin is not increased or diminished at The L.
States Mint to correspond with the fluctuaton in
the commercial market, consequently private ind-
viduas can realize profit and yet make the cents
OF full weight and of due purity. The nsnufacto-
ry IN Forsyth street makes smooth pennies and then
sends them 10 Philadelphia to be stamped, after
which they sent 10 oil the principal cities ofihe
United States In this city the pawnbrokers pnr-
chase them, paying dollar for l03 pennies, but
the manufacturers would make profit il they sold
them as low 30 for one dollar in silver Not only
the pawnbrOkers but many other persons deal in
these pennies, and there are thousands of dollars
worth OF them IN circulation among bakers, milk
men, and grocers.

INFLUENCE ORA SMILE.-It is related in the life
of celebrated mathematician VIM Hutton. that
a respectable looking countrywoman called upon
him one day, anxious to speak with bin. She told
him, with an air Of secrecy, tina; her husband be-
haved unklndly to her, and sought other company,
frequently passing his evenings from home, which
made her feel extremely unhappy. and knowing Mr..
Hutton TO be wise man, she thought he might be
able to tell her how she could manage to cure her
husband.
The cause was common one, and he thought he
could prescribe for il without losing his reputation
as conjrrror. THE remedy is simple one - said
he, "and have never known ii TO fail .4l,caS meet
your husband ,ciM smile"
The woman expressed her thanks dropped cur
tesy and wenI away. A few months afterwards
she waited on Mr.. Hutton. with a couple OF fine
fowls, which she begged him to except. She told
him. while tear Of joy and gratitude gllstened
in her eye, that she had followed his advice, and
her husband was cured. He no longer sought the
company Of others, but treated her with constant
love and kindness
