ByrOl.

In one respect we grant that Byron was
the spirit of the age; he was the repre-
sentative of its wants, its weakness, lis
discomfort, It's dark unrcst--but none Of
It's aspirations, It's widening charity, and
its hopeful tendencies. His voice was the
deep vague moan of the worlds dream
his writing anguish, the last struggle OF
lis troubled sumber, it has since awaken
ed, or is awakening. and " as dream
when one awakeneth, " it is desplsing, too
much despisng, his image. He stood
high vet helpless between the old and the
new, and all the helpless and the hope
less rallied round to constitute him first
magistrate over city in flames--supreme
ruler in blasted and ruined realm. In
one thing he was certainly prophet;
namely, prophet of evil. AS misery
was the secret sting of all It's aspirations,
it became the inyariable matter of all his
songs. Byron's dominion over the dark
er passions is one of the most obvious lea
lures in his poetic character. He rode in
Il chariot drawn, if we may use the figure,
bv those horses described in the vision OF
The Apocalypse, " whose heads were as
the heads of Ions, and out oftheir mouths
issued fire. and smoke, and birthstone"
And supreme in his management OF these
dreadful courSers. Where ever human
nature is fiercest and goomlest-whcre
ever furnace bosoms have been heated
seven times houerby the unrestralned pas
sions and the torrid suns of the east and
the south--whatever man verges towards
the animal or the iend--where ever mis-
anthropes have folded their arms, and ia,
ken their desperate atlitude--whcre ever
stands the bed of sin, delIrious with its
!dread'-w ever devours tine worm
that cannot sleep, and never dies'-there
the melancholy muse of Byron finds lis
subject and lis haunls.-GiJflim'S Lit

GuyaadOtte Valley.

We learn from the Cincinnati Gazette
that Company has recently been formed
in New York, and purchased several hun
lred thousand acres cf valuable land, EN-
bracing the whole Valley of the Guyan-
dote river for some forty miles, beginning
in right line about ten miles from the
Ohio, tut by the meanders of the Guyan,
dOtte some twenty miles from It's mouth.
The Gazette thus speaks of the resources
Of this valley, and Of the contemplated I'M
provemcnIs:
Probably in the Ohio basin above our
citv. there is not more extensive or val
liable tract of timber land than this valley
Of the Guvand tie, and besides, It's I'M
.nensemaasurcs of btuminOus and Camel
Coal, Al well as lis mezhauSlibe beds OF
Iron Ore, render The purchase OF this
property by company of New York
capitalists, an event of importance TO Cin'
cinnati.
The proximity Of this property 10 our
civ. as well as the fact that il aboundS IN
all the elements of wealth so essential to
our prosperity, would seem to Justify the
conclusion that if the Guyandotle were
made rayigablc, Cincinnati would draw
hence, large supplies Of lumber, iron AMI
.oal, both btuminous and cannci.

The constructions Of i,4rks and dams up
on the Guyundoite will create an immense
water power, which these eastern caPliai-
lists will turn to good account, IN develop
ing the resources of the country. Inc

Aaron Burr as an Orator.

Wiih all these advantages, we see no
reason why the Guyandoue Valley may
not become the site Of large manufactures
of wool, leather, iron and cotton, as well
as OF all kinds of wooden fabrics, and this
become an important auxiliary to the
Queen City.
There are those who insist that Guyan-
dote is the natural and best terminus of
the great central railway through Virginia,
from the Ohio TO the Chesapeake, and
that by this route Cincinnati will have the
best Atlantic communication.
1t is contended by maAy that the otler
great railway lines, connecting the Allan
tic cities and the far West, while they in
crease our facilities of intercourse with
the East, they will relativel y and posi-
lively lessen our importance as the great
agricultural and commercial centre in the
West; and. on the other hand, that this
Virginia route, while it would be the
shortest and cheapest connection with the
Atlantic, ii would also sustain and increase
Cincinnati in her position and influence
as the agricultural and commercial centre
in the West.

QucncI,cl rhe light of that noble life.
His country had noi forgotten nor forgiv-
Ell he death of Hamilton.
Under ali these Disadvantages, Burr
rose IN make his parting address to the
Senate And such was the art and power
of his address, as not only, for the time,
completely to diyest his hearers of their
personal prcjudices against himself, but
entirely to enlist their sympathies, and
win their admiration. The effect, as de.
scribed by one who was present, was over
powering and most wonderful. " The
whole Senate were in tears, and so un-
manned that it was half an hour before
they could recover themselves sufficiently
to come to order, and choose Vice Pres
ident pro tenn.
. At the Presidents, on Monday, two
of the Senators were relating these cir
cumstances 10 a circle which had collec-
ted around them; one said he wished that
the tradition might be preserved as one OF
the most extraordinary even.s he had ever
Witnessed {; another Senator, being asked,
the next day that on which Mr.. Burr took
his leave, how long he was speaking, al-
ter a moments pause, said he could form
no idea--it might have been an hour and
il might have been but moment; when
he came to his senses he seemed TO have
awakened from kind of trance"
Taking into view all the circumstances,
it would probably be difficult to find on
record case more fully exhibiting the
power OF true eloquence.

MY NATIVE VILLAGE.

By WILLIAM c. BRYANT.
There lies village in peaceful vale,
With sloping hills and waving woods around,
Fenced from the blast. There never ruder gale
Bows the tall grass that covers all the ground;
And planted shrubs are there, and cherished
flowers,
And brightest verdurc born Of gentle showers.
Twas there my young existence was begun;
My earliest sports were on lis flowery green
And often, when my school-boy task was done,
| climbed its hills TO view the pleasant scene,
And stood and gazed till the suns setting ray
Shone on the hcight-thc accetest Of the day.
And when the woods put on their autumn glow.
And the bright sun came in among the trees,
And leaves were gathered in the glen below,
Swept softly from the mountain by the orcclc,
[ wandered, till the starlight on the stream
At length awoke me from my fairy dream.
Ah, happy days, too happy TO return,
Fled on the wings Of Youths. departed years,
A lesson which it has been mine to learn,
The truth Of life, its labors, pains and fears;
Yet does the memory Of my boyhood stay;
\ twilight! Of tie brightness pass d away.
Ny thoughts steal back to thai sweet yiilase still.
Its flowers and peaceful shades before me rise.
The play-place and the prospect from the hill,
Its summer ycrdure, and autumnal dyes;
The present brings it storms; but while they last
[ shelter me in the delightful past.

Death OF The Rev. J. n. Mami.


The Mobile Tribune. of the 29th ult,
confirms the report of the death of the Rev
j. n. Maflit. lie died in that city OF the
28th, after few hours illness, al the res
idence of Major Chamberlain. The Tri-
bunc SAYS:
Soon after the attack, DR.. Gaines was
called in and found the patient suffering
from eXcrutiatlng pain in the pit of the
stomach. Medicine was speedily admin
stercd and a favorable change occurred
within few minutes. Afterwards calo-
mel was given with the happiest effect,
the cold and clammy state Of the extrcmi-
ties and surface giving place to a gentle,
warm and healthy glow. Both physician
and patient thought the danger passed,
but suddenly the pain returned, and shift
ting TO the region Of the heart soon produ-
ccd death. DR.. Gaines dcnominates it
spasm Of the heart.
Thus has passed away suddenly and
ure yPcctcdIy one who has figured prom
innn'lv in the Methodist Church for the
las! thirty years. All this time he enjoy
strong and unlinching friendships, while,
at the SAME time, he was beset with spiri-
ted and unccasing opposition, both in and
out Of the church. lie has gone 10 settle
bis accounts therefore, Icl !!ls good deeds
be remembered and whatever that is cen.
