For the Busle.
To an Infant Daughter.

Darling Jennie! cherished dove!
Child OF hope, aud JOY, and love :
Thou who dwellest within my heart,
OF its very self a part;
Would these arms could ever hold thee,
To this bosom ever fold thee,
Shielding thee fIcm weary cares,
Keeping thee from sinful snares.
Had thy mother but the power,
Thou shouldst know no darksome hour;
Not a cloud Of grief or care,
From thy childhood's morning fair
To the quiet shades Of even,
Fer should dim thine azure heaven,
But all should be bright and gay
As some glorious summer day.
o! how beautiful and pleasant
Unto thee should be the present.
Ever springing meath thy feet,
Flowers should blossom wild and sweet.
II thou e'er shouids, turn thy eye
Der the paths Of menlory
Beautiful the way shouldst seem
As the landscape Of a dream,
And the future that should be
Like some fair aud stormless yea,
Basking in the summers smiles,
Bright with green aud sunny isles.
But, thou darling child Of mine,
Such a fate may ne'er be thine;
| can see the wiles before thee,
And the tempest gathering DER thee!
Gracious Heavenl and must it be
Storm and grief are waiting thee?
Thou who like some tender flower
Reared within a sheltered bower,
Meier hast seen the skies o%'ercast,
Or bent thee 10 the chilling blast;
Must thou meet alone the strife
In the gauntlet race oflife'
But why gaze | thus with tears,
Child. upon thy future years?
Mourning that thou may st not glide
Idly down times stormless tide,
As a bubble glides away,
Meath the sunny skies of May,
Idle, aimless, useless thing.
Now all gaiIy glittering
On the brightly rolling river,
And the next moment gone forever.
Rather should | bless kind Heaven
For the many trials given,
Which shall teach thee to prepare
For a world than this more fair.
Rather bid thee go, sweet child,
Forth into the worlds cold wild.
Ever with an eye above,
Ever with a heart of love,
Still thy steady course pursue.
There's a lcork for thee to do!
Bend not to the proud and great,
Scorn not those Of low estate,
But where'er thine eye shall see
Human want and misery.
BE it thine to bring relief
To the helpless child Of grief,
Living not alone for self,
Toiling not for sordid pelf;
In thy hearts unselfshness
Strive this hapless world 10 bless.
With a soul from malice free,
Filled with Heavenly charity,
Ever looking for that day
When all sin shall pass away;
So shall sunshine fill thy heart,
And thy summer ne'er depart.

TIE WoRsT OF ~SLAvEs.--A cores
pendent of a Detroit paper, writing from
Tecumseh, Michigan, gives the follow
ing:
"What won't avarice do Near this
village is the homestead of a rich farmer
who counts his nine hundred acres, a.
bout all under improvement, with fine
buildings. lie has his package OF bonds
and mortgages, for loans to his poorer
friends. All competence is supplied
He is a hard worker, and his children are
well to do by their own industry
California gold has seized him. His
sixty-ive years of toll for lucre has not
satisfied his thirst for gain. He has sold
his last years crop for over Sc 900, con
verted it into yelioU boys, and started
with his team for the valley Of the Sac
ramento, leaving all his endearments in
this world for the hope of adding TO his
already p%erplexing pile ofdollars."

Col. Ethan Allen.

We have heard one anecdote of Allen. which
we believe has not yet been in print Mr.. B,
Attorney of Vermont, once received from some
person in Boston. u note of hand for 500 against
Allen for collection. 1t being nconvenie ut for
him at that time to pay the note, it sucI.--
When the case came for trial, Allen employ
ed j lawyer to get the action continued until he
could raise money 10 settle the demand, and
cordingiy the attorney, as the readiest means of
accomplishing his object. determined to deny
the genuineness of the signature. This would
oblige the plaintiff to procure the witnesses to
the note, who. residing in Boston, could not be
easily brough forward on the instant. The eff
feet of the manoeuvre would be, to cause the
plaintiff to postpone the trial till next court
w hea the case was called. it happened that AL
len was in a mote part of the court house. and .
TO his utter astonishment, heard his LAWYER
graYeiy deny the signature of the note. With
long and fierce strides he rushed through The
crowd, and confronting the amazed ssli,nb of the
law" rebuked him in voice of thunder
MIR. B. did not hire you TO come here
and ie--that is a true note--I signed i'll swe ar
to it--and I'll pay it. l want shutfi ing-I
want time. What employed you for was. to
get this business put over to the next court--not
to come here and lie and Jungle about it.''
The result, was. that the post ne Mt of the
claim was amcably adjusted between the two
lawyers.

The New Postmaster General.

Judge CoIamer, the new Postmaster General,
is whom the world calls self niadc
that is, he has risen by his own exertions. We
have heard anecdote of him, which pleases
us. One who knows very well, says that when
he first came to the Bar, he had nothing to de-
pend upon but his future labor. To had Just
two books in his library. One was the Statutes
of Vermont and the other the Bible. When he
argued "a before the Court, he used to qt:ofe
them alternately; the Statutes of Vermont for
the Law OF Vermont, and the Bible for Law in
general. Such a man that willing to
take upon trust. We will take him ''uns,ght, ~
a the boy says. \ lawyer of that kind. Judge
of high reputation, and Il met ber Of Congress
Of six years laborious attention to duty, is just
exactly the man to make Postmaster General.
We will trust him to make straig ht paths thro'
that intricate business.--CiacinN1ti Atlas.

Judge Embree.s Declina,ion.

1t will be from the following correspond
ence, that Judge EMBREE declines accepting the
nomination a candidate for Governor. This
determi lion has been brought about by the
urgent appeals of his constituents TO suffer them
to use his name for reelection to Congress from
that District. However much we NAV regret
the course he has thought proper to pursue, We
not disposed TO censure him. to question
the motives which have prompted it,
There is time enough to make another nomi
nation. as the campaign has not yet CONNIE need :.
The State Central Committee have already Ia
ken steps to perform that duty. That they will
be enabled to make selection that will give
entire satisfaction TO the Wings, and one, too
that will be successful al the polls, DO not
doubt.
An attempt will be made By the friends of Mr..
w RIGHT to advance his prospects, ir conse
quence of this deciination. They will accom-
piish nothing by such efforts. At the proper
time they will find a candidate iii the held, fully
prepared 20 encounter, and 10 succeed over all
the opposition they can give him.
1t WAS not until the State Central { ommittee
learned that the Convention had neglected to
appoint committee to inform Judge Embree of
his nomination, that they add resseu him the fol-
lowing note. This explains the reason why he

A LONG SrEAKIxG TRuMrEr.--Mr. Whistlaw,
a civil engineer at London, has Just made gut
ape rcha speaking trumpet, three quarters of Il
mile long. Mr.. W histlaw has given the name
Of Telak uphanon to his new instrument. BY
speaking in very low tone at one end OF y, the
voice is heard i'll a loud tone at the other ex-
treinity. Thus conversation may be kept up
by two persons at great distance from each
other, without its being heard by intermediate
people. To call the attention of the one with
whom the conversation is to be held, whistle
is to be introduced at the end of the instrument,
and the sound in passing through the tube ac-
quires the power of d trombone. At the last ses-
sion of the British Association, Mr.. Whistlaw
prese nted the Society with u Telak on phanon 90
feet long; he applied one end of il to his mouth
and the other TO horn held by another person,
and played in this manner &C Cd save the King
on tn. horn, which in this way received the
/ breath of a person placed at a hundred feet dis
tant. A fter this curious experiment. Mr.. w.
addressed himself to the Bishop of ST. Davies,
who present, and told him, by way of a
joke, that by the help of these instruments, a
clergyman charged with two three parishes,
might transmit from his study, without quitting
his cLair, one sermon simultaneously TO all his
parish churches, which excited the hilariiy OF
the nd gentleman and the rest Of the COM
panV.
