WHEN 4 WOULD DIE,

would not die in spring time,
When all is bright around,
And fair young flowers are peeping
From ont the silent ground;
When life is on the water,
And joy upon the shore
For winter, gloomy winter,
Then reigns DER US no more,
Iwould not die in summer,
When music's On the breeze,
And soft, delicious murmurs
Float ever through the treesj
And fairy birds are singing,
From morn till close OF day.
No; with its transient glories
would not pass away!
When breezes leave the mountain.
Its balmy sweets oil DER
To linger round the fountain,
And fan our bowers no morej
When summer flowers are dying
Within the lonely glen,
And autumn winds are signing
would not perish theni
But let me die in winter
When night hangs dark above,
And cold the snow is lying
On bosoms that we love,
Aud mag the4MiRd ct midnight,
That bloweth from the sea,
Chant wildly, softly, sweetly,
A requiem for me!

TRAGIC ScENE NOT IN THE BrLLs-At
the Arch Street Theatre, Philadelphia, on
Friday evening, during the play Of Rock
wood, in the scene where Dick Turpin,
the highwayman, gallops up the mountain
10 attack the coach, the horse, Arbaces, in
being suddenly turned in winding Of the
pass, stumbled and fell, a portion Of the
machinery giving way with him. His
rider, Mr. Hall, slipped his foot from the
stirrnp at the instant, and sprung from
him in time to save himself by clinging to
some portion Of the machinery. The ami
NAL was tumbled, feet upwards, from an
elevation Of twenty five feet to the stage.
His fall was broken by a platform, and
his injuries, fortunately, were slight
The incident was frightful one, and mo-
mentarily threw the audience into a state
Of intense anxiety. In few moments, the
performance was resumed, and went on
as though nothing had happened.

OSE WHO WAS THERE.

THE FATE OF Misunderstanding TO
Macaulay, chance has had more TO do than
superiority Of race, in advancing the po-
si,ion of the English nation. In his his
tory of England he says:
Had the Plantagenets, as at one time
seemed likely, succeeded in uniting all
France under their government, it is prob
able that England would never have had
an in dependant existence. Her princes,
her lords, her prelates, would have been
men differing in race and language from
the artizans and lilIers ofihe earth The
revenues Of her proprietor. would have
been spent in festivities and diversions on
the banks ofthe Seine--the noble language
Of Milton and Burke would have remain
ed rude dialect, without literature, a
fixed grammar, or feed photography, and
would have been contemp tuously abandon
ed TO the use of Doors. No man Of Eng
lish extraction would have arisen to emil
nence, except by becoming in speech and
habits Frenchman.
England owes her escape from such ca
lamiiies to an event which her historians
have generally represented as disastrous.

Without mentioning every item in the

amount Of the appropriation bill, which
does not include the salaries of any Of the

items and amount Of the real expenses in
cident TO the last session will be found in
the following -

Here then is the nice little sum OF Fir
TEEN THOUSAND, NINETY Six and 76- 100
DOLLARS, the cost Of one sitting of the
General Assembly, claiming to be intelli-
gent and industrious, who in the space Of
for'y-thrss days enact twenty-eight laws
Of j general nature for the good Of their
constituents Suppose we have thirty
thousand voters in this State-and we new
er have polled that many each one Of
them would have to pay fifty cents apiece
as tax 10 defray the expenses oil the last
General Assembly.
Again by the same simple rule you will
find that the twenty eight acts aforesaid,
cost S535,7O each. When do the people
of this State expect TO get out Of deb, if
this reckless system Of legislation be cou-
tinned? The brightest thing Gov. Briggs
ever said, was, when he remarked that he
"never would call such body Of men to-
gelher to &C, upon the revised code"
This closes nv" Review ofthe Session"
If have thrown any light upon the doings
Of the late General Assembly, which shall
prove beneficial to your readers, or the
State, in selecting their public servants
hereafter, | shall have accom- plished all
anticipated in This undertaking, and shall
rely confidently upon the old maxim, tina,
intsrdum populus recte ridet.
Truly yours as ever.
