Farewell, dear heart, awhile farewell!
60 DER land and sea;
For wealth brave the billows' swell
Afar from love and thee.
The vessel walts-the gathered crew,
With hope and vigor bold,
Impatient long for regions new
That TEEN and burn with gold.
Unclasp thy arms; must depart
And leave these friendly skies;
! must forsake thy loving heart,
To tempt a dangerous prize.
What though from ease and pleasure here
! hasten wildly on
All, who but thee will shed tear
TO think that am gone!
Yet weep moi, sweet, for will toll
Beneath the bazing sun,
Nor faint upon the sickly soil
Before my task Is done,
Deep will delve for gleaming ore
The Californian nine,
Though poor will seem the precious store
Till have made it thine.
Till home returned across the waste,
The desert and the deep,
Affection joys once more taste
And Loves firm promise keep.
Then shalt thou know that true as steel,
Wherever called to roasn,
No other influence could | feel
Than that which draws from home.
Free as a bird that cleaves the air
On plnlons never slow,
An onward, up" ard course dare,
Nor pause to look below.
And, oh! believe, It adverse fate
Shall pierce my faithful breast,
he er will own utiother mate
Nor 6nd another nest.
Then dash away the tears that shade
Those fond expressive eyes,
Thy cheeks red roses shall not fade
Ere | obtain the prize.
Give courage courage to 10y heart, and be
My light and leading star,
That with confdlng trust to thee
still may turn from far.
TIL e vessel waits, the wind is fair,
The streamers float on high,
There is no winter in the air,
No cloud upon the sky.
For gold ! Danish doubt and fear,
And thought of home dispel;
must depart, the hour is near
Farewell awhile, farewell!

THE MIND.

How wonderful 10 the mind of man. As
is the heart TO the body, so is the mind the
vital impulse Of the living universe--the
origin of all its complicated actions and
mechanism ; its glory, its power, its pleas
.ures and its terrors. Confined to matter
with corporeal chains, yet free and un-
trsmmeled as the winds-the fountain head
alike of the misery and the happiness ofman
knowing all things, get not wholly known
unseen, yetall perceiving, the prescriber
of actions--the arbiter of human destiny
an invisible, uncomprehensible and intangi-
BILE chain, that links together the past, the
present and the future. How infinite in its
capacities! how great in its conceptions
how yielding in its love +! how mighty in its
energies! in its light, how beautiful but
how terrible in its darkness! Its power is
over every animal creation the agents Of
nature bow down to his supremacy. 1t is
mind that makes man the lord Of the earth,
and the master of the world he inhabits.-
Without it he would;become a machine
living, moving, but a slave-only superior
to vegetable creations. By exercise of the
power of mind, man binds the elements to
do his will, and Yields the collected ener.
.gies Of his fellows. With it he can trace
the courses of the suns, foretell the return
of the ~erratic comet, ~analyze the combina-
tion OF matter, lay bare the hidden mysteries
ofnature, and collect together the most dis
tant events of empires through ages and
centuries. By this he rides upon the ocean,
or explores its depths to bring up treasures
from the sands below ; he rides upon the
wings Of the wind, and grasps The lightnings
to bind them to his service. At the COM
mand of mind, the wilderness is turned into
a garden; the mighty forests fall, and on
its place arises the mightisr city with its
gorgeous temples rearing their heads among
the clouds Of heaven; the canvass glows
with the beauties of nature, the light of the
sun reflects the image Of animate or mani
mate creation, and the perfect statu e
springs TO separate being from its marble
bed. How mighty is the mind of man! what
mystery is too deep for its research? what
summit too elevated for its aspiration?

A NEW NATIONAL NAME.

Some Of the newspapers are again dis
.cussing the propriety of adopting a new
national NAME. We want, it is said, ga
short, expressive, appropriate, and distinc-
tive sppellation for the people of the Uni
ted States" "The United States of Amer
lea" is as good a name as we need or could
ask, for our country. By that nsme it won
independence, and has risen to the rank Of
the first nations Of the earth it sounds i'm
.posingly; besides it is highly expressive.
pointing to the essential and characteristic
feature of our nation-Sovereign States.
United. The people of these States are
already known by a short and appropriate
name-"Americans." What better one do
we want? There are other nations on this
continent, but who thinks Of designating
them as Americans? In virtue of standing
at the head of the great American family,
the people Of these States appropriately
take their name from the continent to
which they have given the largest share Of
Its importance. The people Of Canada,
Mexico, Brazil, Peru, are called respect
lively, Canadians, Msxicans, Brazilians,
Psruvians: the people Of the United States
alone are entitled to be designated Amer
leans, because they are continental in their
position, rank, and power, being the largest
and most important part Of the whole.

country, and ".Americdns'' for our coun-
trymen, are names infinitely; preferable 70

POPULATION AND RESOURCES OF OUR

In 1910, there were "a States, containing a

Ths above are extracted from the census Of

According to the estimate Of Mr.. Burke, U.
3. GoCxnissioner Of Patents, there were in l94S
81 States, containing a population Of 81 $4,000
and an area of about 1921 26 square miles, or
ii persons to a square mile. Since the treaty
G with Mexico, 100000 square miles have been
added to the Union, making, with tther lands
mt enumerated, a grand total of, 5 1000 square
miles. Now supposing that in 1850 the United
States contain 2 100000 Of human beings,
there will be a density of 8 persons to a square
mile.
Thus we see that in the year

This will convince any one that although
thsre i. a great increase of population, by immi-
grafton and otherwise, there need be no feat

hand we have no fear for the Tinted States gen.
orally, there may be reasons to fear for particular
portions of 4. The Colporteurs, in their reports
