Astrology, though now supplsnted by
those branches Of knowledge to which it
gave existence, can never be regarded
with other than feelings of re pect For
US to consider astrology as belonging to the
catalogue of degrading or useless super
stitions, is great ingratitude and injustice
to the venerable representatives of the past.
1t originated in the remotest antiquity.
L was the chief study of the early nations.
1t was ardentlyscherished by all the an
cient philosophers, and even held undivi-
ded sway over civilization so late as the
middle of the seventeenth century. 1t is
now found among the literati of Persia, and
Europe still bears distinct impressions of

Lines on the Daguerreotype Of a
Deceased Friend.

That face-I know it by its smile
That round the lips is playing,
And by that look, so free from guile,
That from the eye is straying;
And by that high, expressive brow,
Where mind is speaking even now.
How long, how often have sat
And gazed-when life was there
My heart was warm with love--on that
Sweet face, so soft, so fair,
And thought not of the hours that past,
OF summers hour or winters blast.
Life was then young, and hope was bright,
The heart knew not to grieve,
Nor dreamed not Of that gloomy night
When Time would not reprieve;
Dreamed not that Deaths relentless dart
Would drink the life blood Of the heart.
That cheek is blanched, that heart is cold,
And all of earth hath fled,
But her bright virtues are enrolled
In hearts that loved--they shed
A halo round the darkest gloom,
And light the pathway to the tomb.
This picture-bere in after years,
Shall tell the same bright tale,
To tenants of this vale of tears;
Should fckle memory fail.
To me thy virtues bright and fair,
Shall ever be my guiding star.

ed the lives of individuals. It entered the
councils of princes. 1t dictated policy in
the cabinets of nations.
1t cannot be denied that astrology stands
much in the relation Of foster-parsnt to
all our present knowledge. The impor-
tant doctrines of the tides, even as now
understood, were among its earliest efforts
And none can tell how far we are indebt-
cd to horoscopes and nativities for that in
valuable science, astronomy, which now
tracesthe marching host planetary worlds.
We must acknowledge too, that amid the
strange intricacies of triplicities, proroga-
tors, malefcs, and benefcs commenced that
noblest ofall sciences, psychology (in its
orthodox sense) with which all astxologi-
cal questions were intimately concerned.
A department of philesophic study which
can boast of such names as Nicepsos, Al
Hakim, Ptoemy, Kelper and Roger Bacon,
can have occupied no mean place among
the cherished labors of mankind.
Astrology also called attention to mans
character and the far reaching consequent
ces of human action. Coinc. ding with
that strong natural passion, in the human
breast, for omens and predictions, it secur-
ed deep spiritual basis. 1t gave signif-
cant expressions to the SOULS ardent in
quisitiveness for the events of the future.
1t became powerful agent in opening the
unexplored regions Of causation, and spoke
with clear, prophetic voice ofman's immor-
tality and mysterious connection with the
entire universe of God Indeed the gen.
eral doctrine Of vaticination of which as
trology is by far the proudest development,
has an exceedingly honorable history among
men. All languages abound with the high
est testimonials ofits dignity. 1t stands
connected with all literature with the first
histories of all learning and all science.
Thus the early records Of geology, chem
istry, astronomy, as well as of all civil and
religious institutions are closely interviewer
with astrological aspects, deductions and
formulas. In paying our fitting tribute of
respect, then, to the worthless of former
times, let us not forget the devoted and cru
dite astrologers. They honestly believed
they were toiling for the good Of their race.
They hoped to leave precious legacy
for all succeeding ages. They collected
the lore of centuries They devoted them
selves assiduously to the study of the earth
and the heavens. Their days were given
to studious and secluded application, and
their nightly vigils were zealsusly conse-
Grated to their sublime science. They were
the patriarchs of science, who held close
communion with the grandest works of God.
For US they clustered and consolidated the
stars. For us they laid the broad foun-
dations Of liberal learning. Let not their
memory perish. 1t was no fault of theirs
that their labors have been superseded.

I New York, April %, 1851
To the Editor of the Literary Echo;-
DEAR slR,-I must confess myself some
what annoyed at the manner in which my
letters of the l4th and 2lst inst, appeared
in the Echo. 1t may not be capital Of
fence, though to me it is a matter of some
little consequence. And your readers may
get the impression that you mean to impose
on them by giving them mass of jargon
locked mp in such a mysterious labyrinth
that they cannot understand it, Did /
belong to that sort of gents yclept pugilis-
tic perhaps should feel justified were I to
batter your compositOr's face by dashing my
fist between his 81; or, at least, in such
manner as to cause him to see stars But
as that is not the case, I shall embrace this
opportunity to make the subject plain in
less boisterous manner, in the hope that a
parallel circumstance will not again occur
AS general rule it is much better plan
to be guided by your copy especially if it is
manuscript, and stick to the text than to
make so many outs; for i. is apt to make
\ man look doggsrs when he sees his com-
municotion mutilated by the omission cf
,cords and lines, (to say nothing Of Hterols,)
which makes worse nonsense of his article
than if set according to copy. And if he

Or at least consider him deserving the
galleys. But as I have occupied space
enough with this subject l will chase it no
farther, but, trusting you will take no Of
fence at what 1 have said, put period to
this paragraph.
The threatened Cuba invasion has crea-
ted considerable excitement here during
the past week, though I believe nothing
definite is known in regard to the matter
as yet, as to whether there is really scheme
on foot for that purpose. But as our au-
thorities supposed they had good reason to
believe some mischief was brewing, the
State Marshal, with some of his deputies,
on Friday, made descent on a camp of
supposed marauders and secured five of the
alledsed ringleaders who were taken be-
fore the Commissioner and held to bail
each in the sum of $4,000, to answer the
charge at court. The steamboat Cleopatra
was placed in charge of detachment of
marines, to prevent the conspirators elop-
ing with her. President Fillmore has is
sued proclamation calling up every officer
of the government, "to use al efforts in
his power to arrest, for trial and punish
ment, every such offender against the laws
