The Sculptor's Dream.

| There are those that maintain that
some Of the finest works, which the i'm
sgnation has given to the world, have
been derived from, and had their origin
in, the shadowy lard Of dreams. Others
discard altogether the theory that any
ideas are originated in sleep, but that
dreams are but the reflection, more or
less perfect, often grotesque, Of our
waking Thoughts, Sfd pictures Of reali-
ties, which have passed before the vision,
or in the mind, fancifully arranged by
the wayward Imagination, which wakes
while The body sleeps. The diseussior
of this subject must be left 10 those whose
researches IN intellectual philosophy en-
able them TO solve the problem Certain
it is that combinations, which our waking
eyes have never behed aud our Waking
thoughts have never conceived, aud prob
ably never would have originated, are
presented to US ia dreams. The fsnias-
tic workings of the imagination, and the
images presen ed by the delusions Of
fancy, often give direction to future
pursuits in life, and realize The poetic
idea that " coming events cast their shad
ows before"
Tie celebrated sculptor, HIRAM Pow-
| pps il, , la,,or ~, h;s c,,ns;n nr Tuov.s
f. Powers, speaking Of his statue, the
Greek Slave, expresses his pleasure in
learning that it had been exhibited in
this town, aud says that its exhibition
here fully realizes an olt-repea,ed dream
which occurred to him many times and
for years, commencing when he was a
child, residing on tire banks of the Que
chez, and that it followed him after his
removal To Ohio, and until the time he
commenced modelling his statuary. He
says that he saw in his dreams, across
the river from his fathers house, and in
the rear of his uncle's house, white fe+
male figure. exceedingly beautiful, stand
ing on pillar or pedestal. 1t did not
seem 10 possess life. and his boyish fancy
was perpleSed with the radiant vision, as
he had never seen anything like il, and
had no idea of static. He often ats
tempted to approach it in the hope OF
heinr able IN max o a more distinct obs
servalion, but the water was deep and the
current rapid, and he was never able to
procure a nearer view than was afforded
him from the west bank Of the river.
Such is the relation Of Powers, and
such seems to be .he origin of the ided
Of his unrivaled statue. The idea is
poetic one, and its embodiment is as
worthy Of the pencil as that Of the cara
lists Dream" . Woodstotk Mercury.

Mrs. chittendens First and Second Table.

The republican, simplicity of Thomas
Chittcnden, the first Governor OF Vermont
in his private life, and his high appreciation
of honest industry. were no less the theme
of praise among the pcople OF his times,
than his wisdom and patriotism in the public
station to which he was so repeatedly elect
cd In the exercise OF the iirst-namcd dual
tiles, which should be called the patriotism
of domestic life and which, in his case, may
have had as an important bearing in the
formation of our State character as his civic
virtues, he found an efficient hep-matc in
his intelligent and Independent consort.
Perhaps more significant illustration Of
these traits in the Governor and his wife
could not be found in any act of their lives
than in tho following aneedotc which was re-
lated to US by the late Mis-. Timothy Hub
bard, of Montpelier. who, when a girl, was
intimate with the Governors family, and
knowing to The Amusing incident at the time
of its occurrence -
One day the Governor received visit on
pilicial business from several gentlemen Of
the then upper ten "of Albany, accompa-
MED by their fashionable ladies'. who were,

tcndcn.
When the dinner hour arrived, Mrs. Chit
tcndcn, to the surprise of all her guests had
all their hired men called in from the field,
and seated a; the same liable with themselves.
After the ladies had retired with their hos.
tess to their separate apartment, one of them

what She supposed the rules regulating the
proper distinctions in socict,, ventnred to

." Mrs. Chitlenden, you do not usually

"Why, yes, madam" replied the other,
with ready perception OF everything the
question involved, and a determination to
rcbukc the feeling which led to it, "why,
yes, we have thus far done so, but are now
thinking of making different Arrangement.
The Governor and myself have been talk
ing the matter over little, lately, and come
10 the conclusion that the men, who do near
ly all the hard work ought to have the first ta-
ble-and that hc and |, who do so little,
should be content with the second. But in

The INVISIBLE FoE.-We verify be<
leve that the best jokes in the world
have occurred in our colleges, and the
one we are about 10 narrate is as true as
it is amusing. 1t transpired in the "Old
North State"
One of the Professors Of ~- Coll
lego was in the habit of exercising sur
yeillance over the students after nights
fall, which was BY no means agreeable
TO them. lie was accustomed TO steal
cautiously along the corridors OF the col.
lege, and. whenever there appeared 10 be
anything going on not prescribed in the
" Rules" he did not hesitate to peep
through the key hole, and "take an ob-
servation" Some Of the students res
solved to cure him Of this propensity,
and they bit upon the following expe-
dent -
In the course of their walk, they had
frequently seen, at neighborng farm,
large black ram, which was perfectly
tame, and which had been taught TO butt
any one, who appeared to challenge hint
by STOPPING or bowing his head. They
managed one night to entice the ram To
the college, where they secured him in
an empty darkened room, and fed him
the next day. At night, ust before the
usual time for the Professors espionage,
they turned the ram out into the hall.

Presently the Professor came stealing up

The Planet Mars.
by HENRY W. LoSGFELLow.

The night has come, but not too soon ;
And sinking silently,
All silently, the little moon
Drops down behind the sky.
There is no light in earth or heaven,
But the cold light of stars
And the first watch of night is given
To the red planet Mars.
Is it the tender star of love ?
The star Of love and dreams?
O no from that blue tent above,
A hcro's armor CLEANS.
And earnest thoughts within me rise,
When behold afar,
Suspended in the evening skies,
The shield of that rod star.
o star of strength !! | see thee stand
And smile upon my paint
Thou brckonosi with thy mailed band,
And AN strong again.
Within my breast there is no light,
But The cold light Of stars,
give the first watch of the night
To the red planet Mars.
The star Of the unconquered will,
lie rises in my breast,
Serene, and resoute, and still,
And calm, and self-possessed.
And thou, too, whosoe'er thou art,
That reade;t this brief psalm,
As one by one thy hopes depart,
BE resolule and calm.
0 fear not in world like this,
Aud thou shalt know ere long,
Know how sublime thing it is
To suffer and lac strong.

IMPORTANT GEoGRAPaICAL DIscov-
ERY.-At II late meeting of the Royal Geo
graphical Society at London, it was an
nouneed that the Rev. d. Livingstone, Of the
London Missionary Society, had discovered
another large lake in South Africa, about
200 miles north of Lake Ngami, which he
recently made known to the world. The
new lake contains several large islands, and
is connected with the Ngami by rapid
stream called the Teagc. At the date of
the last adyiees, MIR. Livingstone was pro-
ceeding northward. If he carries out his
plan Of exploration, some important ques-
tions in African Geography will be solved.
