A COUNTRY HOME FOR ME.
/ do not ask that CITY spires

A COUNTRY HOME FOR ME.
do not ask that city spires
May round my mansion rise,
But that my home may be where trees
Are pointing to the skies;
Where flows the silvery mountain rill
With sweet and merry sound,
And the echo of the hunters gun
Shall through the woods resound.
cannot love the city's pomp,
Its fashion and its pride,
had rather dwell in humble cot
Upon the mountain side,
Where swestly blooms the Acacia tree
The tnlip and the rose,
And where, beside the rivulets,
The early violet grows.
Iwould not give my quiet home,
Its happiness and health,
For all the city palaces,
Its pleasures and its wealth;
Ilove to breathe the mountain air,
And roam where all is free,
Let others choose city life
But country home for me!

Noah's Sundays Times, after summing up the po-
litical sins and folles of Thomas Hart Benton and
Martin Van Buren,, two Of the most consummate
political gamblers that ever appeared on the stage
of action in country, closes with the following
eloquent paragraph
Mr. Benton and Mr. Van Buren,, by their intrigues
and proscriptive violence, drove John c. Calhoun
from the chair Of state as the successor of Andrew
Jackson; and yet, if they could both this day pur-
chase the honor and renown justly awarded by a
whole nation to the dead statesman by taking his
place in the silent tomb, it would be exchange
which both might proudly covet; and while evening
frowns upon their withered influence, and they
both fall like leaves in autumn let them cast last
lingering look upon the aged statesman and patriot,
Henry Clay, and learn from his course-not always
wise, but always honest, true ,aghtforwaId and
direct-that reputation confers higher honor than
power, and fidelity brighter reward than Official
influence and patronage.

GIVE EVERY DAY.

uAvG EVEnx DAxs
Let us give something every day,
For one another's veal;
A word, to make the gloomy gay,
Or the crushed spirit heal:
A look, that to the heart will speak
OF him that's poor and old;
A tear for her o'er whose wan cheek
Full many stream has rolled.
The objects of our love and care
In every path we see
Ana ~hen they ask simple prayer,
o, shall we selfish be,
And turn away with naughty thrust,
AS if the God above
Were partial to our pampercd dust,
And only us did love?
Let us give something every day
To comfort and to cheer;
'Tis not for gold alone they pray,
Whose cries fall on the ear:
Ihey ask for kindness in our speech
A tenderness Of heart
That to the innocent soul will reach,
And warmth and life impart.
We all can glve-the poor-the weak,
And be angel guest;
How small a thing-to Smile-to speak,
AND make the wretched blestl
These favors let us all bestow,
And scatter JOY abroad,
And make the wales Of sorrow glow
With the sweet smiles of God!

California.

The steamer Cherokee, which arrived al
New York, June 5, brought important news
from California.
A large mass meeting of the citizens for
the adoption of some expression of feeling
relative TO the Situation Of California was
held in San Francisco on the Both of April.
A numbhr Of resolutions were unanimous
~ adopted, expressing regret that their ap-
plication for admission into the Union has
produced angry discussion upon irrelevant
questions, arraigning seclion against section,
and seriously threatening 10 disturb the ft,-
lure welfare OF the government itself.
FROM THE MINEs.-Tbe miners are said 10
be doing well at present; but are locking for
waid 10 golden harvests, when they can work
on the bars, or in the beds of the river.
MOT AT PANAMA.-A serious riot lately
occurred al Panama between the natives
and American emigrants in which several
persons on each side were killed. II urew
out oil the arrest of a native of Nicarauga on
suspicion OF his having stolen several num-
dred dollars. An artemp, was made to res.
cue him from the officers of Justice and n
conflict ensued, which resulted in the dea,b
Of Mr.. VIM. A Sempler, of N. Y, and Mr.
John Everett of Cayuga Co., N. Y. on the
part of the Americans, and six or eight OF
the natives.

From Havana.

The report of the arrest of Mr.. Campbell u
S. consul, is contradicted. The Georgia, U. S.
mail steamer, was compelled to anchor at quar-
antine, New York, on Sunday night.
On the 9Th, an American brig, from which
were taken some California emigrants supposed
to be invaders, was towed past the Georgia
and Saranac, in the upper harbor at Havana
A ship name unknown, was captured at the
same time, and anchored at the mouth of the
harbor. The persons taken in these vessels are
confined in the Moro Castle, and all access to
them has been denied the American consul
1t is generally believed in Havana that there is
no evidence against these vessels or the pris-
oners. the vessels being regularly cleared for
Chagres and captured on the coast of Yucatan.
The soldiers and officers were quite indignant
towards the Americans, no passengers being al
lowed to land, and the captains of the steamers
got on shore with much difficulty. The cap
tain of the Ohio was arrested by party of SOL
diers (although he had passport) and paraded
about the streets some time.
Out of the persons captured from the Lopez
party expedition. four were shot one was re-
proved tor some reason unknown. These men
it was said, were not soldiers, but sailors, who
had wandered from the boat and had been kept
behind. They were returning leisurely to the
shore when they were arrested and shot.
All the officers and men engaged in the fight
against Lopez were literally rewarded-the Of
fcers receiving crosses of honor-the men mon
ey. Those wounded were pensioned for life,
and also the widows and children of those kill
ed. 1t is said that had Lopez held Garden as
one day longer, he would have been joined by
large party of patriots who were on the point
of rising against the authorities. The govern
ment have taken the most active measures to
secure themselves against invasion, and their
whole naval force is kept cruising
We learn from the passengers that the excite
ment about the invasion of General Lopez had
in a great measure subsidized. The Spanish
steamship Pizarro had taken SO persons on
board Of two small vessels off Woman's Island,
and brought them to Havana. Mr.. Campbell,
the United States consul demanded them from
the commander of the port, but he refused to
give them up. He stated to Mr.. Campbell that
he would suffer his right arm to be cut off,
sooner than give them up. They were still in
confinement in the Moro Castle. Four of the
men that were left at Cardenas by General Lo-
PEI had been shot, Two of them were young
men about eighteen years Of age. The rhole-
ra had entirely left the place, and business had
commenced to flow through its ordinary cham

FOREIGN NEWS.
Arrival Of the Atlantic.


-Four DArs LATER. By the arrival at New
York of the American steamer Atlantic, Capt.
West, we have received Liverpool dates of the
Doth ult. She arrived at n. York on Sunday.
ENGLAND. The Greek question still contin-
ues to be subject of great public anxiety and
it was apprrhended that the Russian Minister
would be momentarily recalled home, and the
breach between Russia and England greatly
widened
Cotton is firm at previous rates. Breadstuffs
firm, and previous prices maintained.
FRANCE. The first section of the Electoral
Law passed the National Assembly. The SOL
diers at Montpelier, and other places in the
South of France, had manifested republican
spirit.
The news from Spain is not important.
ITALY. Advices from Rome come down to
the goth. The much talked of Consistory was
being held, but nothing had officially transpired
relative to the matter discussed.
SWITZERLAND. 1t appears attempts have
been made to induce the French refugees to
make descent on France with effect.
Prussia. The reports of The King of Prus-
sia's health are unfavorable. Some degree OF
fever has set in and the wound itself is swollen
and much inAamed. The target, at which the
criminal Sefeloge, practised pistol shooting,
has been found, and there are evidences that he
was a good and steady shot.

New England migration.

The question is often propoun6ed, why it
occurs that the sons Of New England, who will
boldly assure you that of all places on the face
of the earth, the land of their nativity is the
most sublime, the most beautiful the most ju-
diciously governed,-i in short, that it is per-
feet paradise in all that can legitimately be
sidered as constituting home for the 6rare
and free, so frequently expatriate themselves,
and become exies, wanderers, and fugitives
from the soil made sacred by the conservation
of their fathers dust.

In reference to its beauties and the weighty OBJ

"Their labors, their principles, their institu-

GROWING the hill-tops, or pecripg out from the
valleys-the means Of education, accessible to
every family-the universal diffusion of knowl-
edge-the order and thrift, the general activity
and enterprise, the unparalleled equality in the
distribution of property, the general happiness
resulting from the diffusion of education and
of pure religious doctrine-the safety with
which more than half the population sleep
nightly with unbolted doors-the calm holy
Sabbaths. when mute nature in the general 81
lence becomes vocal with praise; when the
whisper of the breeze seems more distant, the
distant waterfall louder and more musical, the
carol of the morning birds clearer and swceter !;
this is New England and where will you ind
the like, save where you find the operation OF
New England principles. and New England in
fuences !" Such, indeed, is a true picture OF
this favored land. Yet with all its attractions,
it is inadequate to satisfy the ambition of its
sons and wherever the footsteps of civiliza-
ton have wandered, there they are to be found.

THE PARKER MURDER. The last queer thing

THE PARKER MURDER. The last queer thing
in the examination at Manchester was a strange
remark made by Clark, while Brown was going
on with his testimony. Brown had stated that
Clark had repeatedly told him that nobody
knew how the murder was committed, except
ing Eunice Cook, now dead. She lived with
Asa Wentworth at the time. While his conn
sci was pressing the witness in relation to his
acquaintance with this female, Clark. to the
establishment of his counsel and the court, re-
marked in an audible tone-.Perhaps Horace
Wentworth can tell something about her death
In the case of the cross-examination, Brown
admitted he had once been sentenced TO the
house of correction in New Hampshire.
"Wednesday afternoon, the prosecution called
to the stand Dr. Gregg. who. acting upon
concerted arrangement, overheard certain con-
versations between Brown and Clark in relation
to the murder.
