SILVER VS. TIN; OR, CHILDHOOD IN
ITS CUPS.

BY AN AMATEUR IN THE PATHErICs.
1 saw rich mans child with gloomy air,
Holding silver cup within ner hand,
The cup we'll filled with some rich beverage rare,
Mixed by maid who by her side did stand,
With petulance she raised the honeyed drink,
And quicker than the eye ofthought could trace,
And ere the maiden had chance to wink,
Dash went the sweetening in her patient face.
! thought within myself that should it come,
And I'D a child like that, I'd give it "some
I saw poor mans child, with cup of tin,
Sitting alone and singing by the door;
Treace and water was the cup wthin>-
Treacle quite tart, the water dreadful poor;
And as the child drilled forth cheerful note---
("Oh, don't you cry Susannah" wasthe tune)- :
Anon she moistened her tuneful throat
By small libatIons from an iron spoon;
And here methought that silver could not buy
The happiness that glistened in her eye.

THE ROMAN PROPHECY OF WASHINGTON.
In one of Cicero's fragments the following
remarkable sentence occurs, written some
eighteen hundred years ago: Far across
the ocean. if we may credit the Sybiline
books, and after many ages, an extensive
and rich country will be discovered, and
in it will rise hero, who BY his counsel
and arms, will deliver his country from
the slavery by which she was oppressed.
This shall he do under favorable auspices; ;
and oh. how much more admirable will
he be than our Brutus and Camillus 3
These predictions were known to our Ac-
ciriss. and embellished with the ornaments
of poetry" Can any one doubt the allu-

AERIAL STEAMER.-A Model of the
Aerial Steamer invented by MIR. Rufus
Porter, was exhibited yesterday at Wash
ington Hall, corner Of Hester street and
the Bowery. The room selected for the
exhibition was about fifty feet long by
twenty wide MIR. Porter himself was
present. Mr.. Robjohn, who constructed
the model, superintended the exhibition,
which was Witnessed by about forty per-:
sons, mostly representatives of the press.
The model steamer was eleven feet and
a half long. and twenty-five inches in di-
ameter with saloon three feet by four
inches. 1t is composed of two parts
the upper portion is the " float" or ",bal-
loon," built in the form of a segar, un-
Gerneath this is the saloon, or g boat, for
conveying passengers, fuel, the f'steam
engine" &c Between the float and sa-
loon, are two large propellors, something
in the form of the wheel of wind mill.
The two propellors are constructed SO. as
to act upon the air in the same manner
that screw propeller acts upon the wa
ter. The air propeller, like the water
propeller is driven by steam engine. The
weight of the Aerial Steamer is suppor-
ted in the atmosphere by the buoyant pow
er of hydrogen gas, with which the float
is inflated.
In the model exhibited, the fans, or
propellors, were driven by small chro-
nometer spring, as substitute for steam
engine. On being inflated and set in mo-
ton, the little steamer flew rapidly round
the hall, in every direction, as steered by
the rudder. No demonstration could be
more convincing, and all present expressed
themselves perfectly satisfied with the
exhibition of the model. The rate of
speed was fifty feet in five seconds A
large Aerial to carry sixty passengers, it
is estimated, will travel at the rate of one
hundred miles an hour in calm weather,
and at the rate of seventy miles an hour
against any ordinary breeze.

INDEPENDENT CANDID ATES.-oeycral cards
will be found in our paper Of to-day, from respoc-
table citizens, offering themselves as candidates
for the offices mentioned This plan of getting
before the people, is common enough in many
sections Ct the country, although novelty here.
We see no improperly whatever in it. If an
individual wants an Office, and has TO desire to
submit his wants to the decision Of a caucus or
convention, let him appeal directly to the source
of authority, the people There is no more i'm
rroprety in this. than IN log-rong with caucus
for nomination. Whether this is the best way
for parties to get their candidates, is another
question A weak party united, will accomplish
more than a strong party distracted, and the ma
jority may in that way be ruled by the minority
1t is both right aud proper for man who want:
an Office, TO ask the people for it, but it strike:
us as long as we have parties desiring the success:
ofcertain principles, ii is policy for them to unite
in some way on a man who represents their prn
ciples, and come up and vote for him.

THE NATIONAL SPIR-T.-1lr. Clayton, our s.
cretary of State, has lad some unctiqnetical
correspondence with one Mr. Poussin, who rep
rescnts the French government, and thbreupon
the press Of the country proceeds to take an in
vcntory of our war armament and arrives at tic
comfortable conclusion that we can whip France
and creation generally. This may be a very wise
and good policy, but if it is we cannot see why
it is not equally wise and good for individual who
has difference with his neighbor, to take an in
ventory of his muskets, pistols, bowie knives, &c
We are not certain whether the tone of the press
of the country is a cause or an effect of the war
spirit of the people Probably little of both ;
but be that as it may it cannot be doubted that
the press wisely directed, might soon obliterate
this spirit. Wherefore the necessity of thus
rubbing up the national Combativeness. Every
man as well as every editor knows, that if we
were TO wartwenty years with France, we should
nevertheless at the end of that time, be compelI-
Cd TO resort TO negotiation to settle the difficulty
If fighting will accomplish nothing, why fight?
It is precisely as if two individuals having a diff
fculty to be settled at law, should pummel each
other soundly before entering court they simply
inure and abuse themselves without developing
or demonstrating single principle at issue be-
tween them, leaving the whole matter just where
twas before they commenced abusing each other
Not press in the land but would be open mouth
ed at the folly ofmen who would thus act. and yet
a majority of our presses are already staggering
about broad swords, blunderbusses aud pistols in
the trfng disagreement between Johnny Cra-
pcau and Brother Jonathan, who are but an ar
gregate of the individuals of each nation. How
long will it be before the press of our land will
learn that what is folly nhe individual is folly in
the nation-what is wrong and hurtGul to the in
terest of the individual, is of necessity so to the
interests of the nation. All differences, whether
between individuals or nations, involve question
of right and wrong. No individual ever did or
ever could settle such difference by beating or
shooting his opponent-nor can nation any bet
ter do it, War sacrifices the lives, e,trovs the
property, brutaizcs the sensibiitics and degrades
the moral and intellectual capacities Of people,
and we trust the time is not distant when the man
who recommends or suggests war as mode of
settling differences Of opinion, may be considered
as Il conauGon foe.
