We think it more than probable that there
will be twelve new States added to the cOnted-
eracy in six years.
1t is proposed in Michigan to devide that
State, a ID the location of her territory would
make it advisable to do so; and some have sug-
gested that Long Island might be detached from
New York, and made State.
We must close, with the regret that we have
not limits to pursue the subject further. We
think that all will admit that there is strong
ground for tile position we assumed. But
NWhat difference does few years make. The
teWitory is there; it will be populated; it is ca
pa6AS of making territory fer non-slaVeholdlng
States and when but third Ofthat number are
Termed, there will be two-thirds majority u
Congress hostile to slavery.
Now, we ask those who charge Southern
men with ultraism, to reflect on these things;
and we think that they will agree with us, that
all that's necessary to make the prospects OF the
Southern States gloomy in the extreme, Is for
them to sink beneath contempt by shrinking
from the position they have assumed.

A ROMAN PRoPHEcY OF WASHINGTON
In one of Cicero's Fragments the following
remarkable renteEce occurs-written some
eighteen hundred years ago:-"Far across
the ocean, if we may credit the Sibylline
books, and after many ages an extensive
rich country will be discovered, and in it
will arise 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 BFutus and Calillus! These pre-
dictions were known to our Accius, and
embellished with the ornament of poetry"
Can any one doubt the allusion here to our
country and our Washington?

HoME.-Home is a genuine Saxon word; a
wOrd kindred to Saxon speech, but with an inn
port common to the race Of men. Perhaps
there is no other word in the language that
clusters within so many and so stirring mean
ings, that calls into play, and powerfully ex-
cites, SO many feelings, 50 many faculties Of
eur being. "HOme," say but the word and the
child that was your merry guest begins to weep.
"HOme, play but its tunes and the bearded
soldier, that blenched net in the breech, droOps,
sickens, and dies. 'tHome, "-murmur but its
name and memories start around it that put
fire into 4hs brain, and affections that almost
suffocatetcr break the heart. and pictures that
bewilder the fancy with scenes in which joy
and sorrow wrOstle with delirious strife for
possession Of the spirit "Home, what does
it net stand for, of strongest, Of most moving
associations!-for childhoOd's grief and glad
1ess.-fOr youths sports, aad hopes, and suff-
eridgs; and passions and sing,-for all that
frightened or dimmed the eyes,-fOr all that
tranquilized the breast; for father. s embrace,
or for his death bed,-for msther's kiss or for
her grave,-fsr sisters love, or brothers.
friendship,-for hours wasted or hours hest
for peace in the light of life, or fears in the
shadows Of perdition.- Rev. Henry Giles.

Appearances,

Think not because the eyes are bright,
And smiles are laughing there,
The heart that beats within is light
And free from pain and care;
A blush may tinge the darkest cloud
Ere Soils last rays depart,
And underneath the sunniest smile
May Turk the saddest heart.
Mirth's sudden CLEAN may light the cheek,
Though Joy be far away,
Is blossoms oft adOrn the tree,
= That's Fastening to decay;
Alas it's but the varying hue
OF April's wayward hours
A sunbeam bursting brightly through,
When all beneath are showers.
For these are pangs the surrowing heart
Will oft in darkness shroud,
That Turk within the lonely depths
Like lightning in the cloud;
As falls the shadow on the path,
When bright the sunbeams glare,
Which ever way our thoughts are turned,
That darksOme shape is there.
Though brightly Ger the hollow cheek
The smile the laugh may break,
Like bubbles bursting on the breast
OF Acheron's dark lake:
They are but outward signs to hide,
The deadly pangs we feel,
As DER the lone and Wondering tower
The rose is taught to steal.

are the ends which education has to attain.
The power ofthe mind over the body is i'm

it be trained and exercised, and vigor Of

truth-rust consumes faster than youth

We noticed the other day the successful
daguerro;yping of a starAlpha Lyrae. 1t 10
a curious object Of reflection, that the ray of
light which fell upon the plate of the artist
aStrOmsr must have left its native star over
twenty years agO-lOng before Daguerrs
had invented the means by which that ray
has become, as it were imprisoned On a
metallic surface for mans wandering gaze.
So great is the distance oil the fixed stars.
that its only way of ordinary description is
by the number Of years which light, moving

Our CoUNrRY.-On no country more than
our own have the charms ofnature been more
prodigally lavished, her mighty lakes like
oceans Of liquid silver-her mountains, with
their bright aerial tints-her valleys, teeming
with fertility-her tremendous cateracts thun-

their festal around the midnight throne are
set above the grasp of our limited faculties,
forever mocking US with their unaPPrOacha
bic glory! And finally, why is it that the
bright forms of human beauty are presented
to our view and then taken from US, leaving
the thousand streams Of our affections tC
How back in Alpine torrents On our hearts,
We are born with higher destiny than thai
of earth. There is a realm where the rain
bow never fades; where the stars will be
spread out before Us like the island that slum
bers in the ocean! and where the beings
that pass before us like shadows will stay oul
