DREAM OF SUMNER.
BY JOHN q. wHITTIER.

By JOHN q. WHllllEh'
Bland as the morning breath Of June
The southwest breezes play;
And, through its haze, the winter noon
Seems warm as summers day.
The snow-plumed angel Of the north
Has dropped his icy spear;
Again the mossy earth looks forth,
Again the streams gush clear.
The fox his hillside cell forsakes-
The muskrat leaves his nook,
The blue bird in the meadow brakes
Is singing with the brook.
Bear up, o mother nature y cry
Bird, breeze and streamlet free,
"Our winter voices prophesy
OF summer days to thee'
So in those winters of the soul,
BY bitter blasts and drear
O'erswept from memory's frozen pole,
Will sunny days appear,
Reviving hope and faith, they show
The soul its living powers,
And how beneath the winters snow
Lie gems of summer flowers!
The night is mother of the day,
The winter of the spring,
And ever upon old decay
The greenest MOSES cling,
Behind the cloud the starlight turks
Through showers the sunbeams fall!
For God, who loveth all his works
Has left his Hope with all

secret door, and after bowing to the president,
and throwing down his cap in token of respect,
slowly and deliberately approaches his terrific
adversary, who stands as if enchained to the spot
by consciousness of the fearful destiny that
awaits him. The matador, undismayed by the
ferocious aspect of the bull, cautiously advan-
ces, with his eyes fixed firmly and magnetical-
" upon him; bright Toledo blade glisens in
his right hand, while in his left he carries the
muleta, or crimson fag with which to exasper-
ate the declining spirit of his foe. An intense
stiffness reigns throughout the vast assemblage,
the most critical point of the tragedy is at hand,
and every glance is riveted upon the person and
movements of the matador. A single fatal
thrust may launch him into eternity, yet no ex-
preston Of fear escapes him; COOL and sef-pos-
sessed, he stands before his victim, studous of
every motion, and ready to take advantage Of any
chance.
1t is this wonderful display of skill and brave
ry that fascinates the attention of Spanish au-
dience, ard not the shedding of blood or the suf-
ferings Of the animal, which are as much lost
sight of in the excitement of the moment as the
gasping of fish or the quivering of worm up
on the hook is diregarded by the humane disci-
pie of Izaak Walton The bull and matador, as
motionless as if carved in marble, presenta fear
fully artistic effect. AT LENGTH like an electric
flash, the polished steel of the matador flies in
the air, and descends with tremendous force into
the neck of the doomed animal, buryng itselfin
the flesh, even up to the hilt. The blow is well
made, and from the mouth of the bull torrent
Of blood gushes forth in crimson stream he
staggers, drops on his knees, RECEIVERS himself
for an instant, and then falls dead at the feet of
his conqueror, amid the tumultuous plaudits OF
the excited throng of spectators.
Such is slight sketch of Spanish bull-fght.
The impression made upon our minds by the
first representation was so deeply tincturcd with
horror that we resolved never to attend another
though it is but fair to state that this good res
olution, like many others we have made in our
lives, was eventually overcome by temptations

CAUGHT TARTAR.-Soon after the revolu-
tonary war, a brave Yankee officer, a former
captain in the service, happened to be at st. Pc
tersburg in Russia, and while there was invited
to dine at the table Of distinguished merchant
There was large number of guests at the ta-
BILE and among the rest an English lady, who
was anxious to appear as one OF the knowing
Ones" On understanding that an American was
sitting near her, she expressed to one of her
friends determination to quiz him. She fast
ened upon him like tigress, making numerous
enquiries touching our habits, customs, dress,
manners, modes of life, education, amusements,
etc. To all these queries the officer gave cour-
teous answers, which seemed to satisfy all the
company with the exception of the lady herself
She was determined not to be satisfied, and went
on. "Have the rich people in your country any
carriages! For | suppose there are some who
call themselves rich" "My residence" replied
the captain is in small town upon an island,
where there are but few carriages kept; but in
larger towns and cities upon the main land there
are quite number maintained, suited to repub-
lican manners" Indeed :" replied his fair ques-
toner, in tone that was both interrogatory and
explanatory 81 CAN'T fancy where you find
coachmen: | shouldn't think the Americans
knew how to drive coach" awe find no DIFF
fculty on that account, Madam" calmly replied
the captain; eve can have plenty of them by
sending to England for them" "To England p
exclaimed the lady, speaking very quickly; /" l
think the Americans ought to drive the English
instead of English driving the Americans.
Z" I'VE did, Madam in the late war;" rejoined the
officer; but since the peace we have permitted
the English to drive usw There was no more
/" "quizzing" of our American during the dinner.
He waited in vain, like Sam. Weller in Bardell
VS.. Pickwick for the next question"

RELIGION THE Soul OF FREEDoM.-Diminish
principle, and you increase the need Of force in
community. In this country, government
needs not the array of power, which you meet
in other nations; no guard of soldiers, no host
of spies, no vexatious regulations of police; but
it accomplishes its benefcent purposes by few
unarmed judges and civil officers, and operates
so silently around us, and comes so seldom in
contact with us, that many of us enjoy its bless
ings with hardly thought of its existence; and
this is the perfection of freedom; and to what
do we owe this condition? | answer, to the
power of those laws which religion writes on
our hearts, which unite and concentrate public
opinion against injustice and oppression, which
spread spirit of equity and good will through
the community. Thus religion is the soul of
freedom; and no nation under heaven has such
an interest in it as ourselves. [Channing.

-Ejaculatory prayer requires not the
sanctuary, the more retired circles, nor the clos
ct; although in either, it may, and ought to be
offered but by the way-side, in the thronged
trade, or in the social enjoyment of life, it is not
only appropriate, but seems the only resort for
keeping up close communion between the soul
and heaven. A single wish of the inmost spirit,
groan uttered, an unspoken sentences a yearn-
ing Of the heart directed to the throne above,
may reach the ear of him who never fails to
guard his tried and tempted ones; and bring the
blessing down just at the moment when the
blessing is most needed Under the sudden in
vasions of anger, envy, pride, ust,covetousness,
revenge, despondency, let the heart 60 right up
in an instant to your great Leader, and there
shall come the needed help.

The DEATH OF FRIENDs.-Many whom VIC
dearly love are not with us now. The flowers
bloom upon their graves. A little while ago,and
they were with US young and happy; but alas
the bloom faded from their cheeks-they sick
ened and died. What were our feelings when
we looked upon their pale face for the last time,
and followed their beloved forms to the cold, 81
lent tomb! And Oh ! when we heard the earth
fall upon their bosoms, how did our hearts
bleed And then, to return home without them
and from day to day behold the vacant seat, and
with fearful eyes gaze again and again upon
some memento Of the departed one. Yes, this
is sorrow! You, perhaps, have felt it in the loss
of one beloved. The flowers of spring now
bloom upon the grave of the dear departed
The birds sing sweetly there; but the quiet
sleeper hears not their song. And can it be
that the loved one is dead? Farewell you may
say dear friend! Thou art where flowers i'm
mortal bloom. Instead of the song of birds, thou
art listening to the song of angels. Again fare
well! Thou hast entered the paradise of God.
