CHANGE.
FROM THE HUNGARIAN.

FROM THE HUNGARIAN
am indebted to Colonel Berzenczey, Of the
suite of Governor Kossuth, for literal transla-
ton of some of the poems of Petof Sander,
distinguished Hungarian poet and soldier, who
fell in the late wars.
In my rendering of the striking little poem
which follows, | have strictly preserved the
form Of the yerse-somewhat at the expense of
poetic beauty, and faithfully given the spirit of
the original as it was impaired to me.
GRACE GREENWOOD
Naught now is as in days gone by
So on this earth do all things change
Ny present and my past kin,
And yet to one another strange.
Once on my palm / bore my heart,
LOve-warm and prompt at friendships call
Then none had need to ask for that
freely offered unto all.
Now, when my brothers would have love,
give to none, but stand apart,
And falsely answer when they come
go We away! have no heart"
0nco when kndled into love,
1t was pure Platonic flame
So piousy deemed each maid
An angel soul in mortal frame.
Thus believed-but now know
No angels moro than demons they;
Nor weep if one loves me not,
While others smile along my way
Once love of country was the sun,
That warmed my deepest heart-but now
1t is the pale moons yellow light
That cOldy falls upon my brow
Once, when another did me wrong
l longcd to hide me from his wrath
In the still grave-nOw l would live,
To struggle with him TO the death
Ihave been soft and fluid clay

White wine, blonde maiden. and bright sun,
Once ruled my soul-fair sovereignties
But now red wine, brown maid, dark night,
In these, its joy, its passion lies

Mr.. EDITOR This year has been very ia
vorabe one for shipping from our place, there
having been most of the time sufficient water at
the mouth for vessels to come inside and take
their loads or part of loads at our City Wharves.
How much our shipping has improved you will
see by the statement of our exports, which, so
far as we could make 1t out are as follows;
SLAVES, 4OO,OOU
Hcmlock bark, cords. 1000
Shingles, ........ -. .3oO,OOU
Leather, to the amount of ........ $4,000
A very accurate estimate of last year showed
the amount Of exports for 1851 to be nine thou
sand two hundred and fifty dollars,-against
about eighteen thousand seven hundred dollars
this year. The number of vessels loaded at the
beach last year was 43. This year most of them
take their loads inside, and we have seen in one
day ten schooners coming in within few hours.
The number of vessels this year will probably
reach eighty. Our new steam mill is running
in first rate order. The proprietor,Mr. BLEYKER
is at work to put in one run of stone for custom
work in which will secure the trade with our
farming country to our place and VIII yearly
add to the growing of our little village. This
years experience has shown us what benefit il
would be to have our harbor improved, and even
a small sum will relieve us great deal in giving
help to beginning So, we wont give up our
hope to get some aid from government. If not
we shall have to grasp to the last stick and try
to help ourselves, which however, as most OF
our money is gone by the many sacrifices need
ed in starting new place in midst Of distant
woods would be a rather hard job for us. There
is no doubt but next year will range us among
the more important feeders of the Chicago mar.
ket from this side Of the lake to compete with
any other, as all our crops look exceedingly
we'll and will leave considerable surplus for ship
ment next season. Yours, &C..

The Holanders have indeed good reason to
say they have been cheated by the Wings in
the matter of internal Improvements. Those
who read the able speech of our representative,
the Hon. Chas. f.. Stuart, which we this week
publish, will perceive that an appropriation was
obtained by him while member of the thirtieth
Congress, for the construction of light house
at the mouth Of North Black River not one dol
lar of which has yet been expended. The sum
appropriated for this purpose is three thousand
five hundred dollars three years have been
permitted, by Wing administration, to pass
away without any attempt to give the Holland
ders the benefit of the money which q Demo-
cratic Congress set apart for them. Surely
it is not unjust to say the party which com
planned so loudly about Democratic hostility
to internal improvements, should see TO it that
the money placed at their disposal for any pur-
pose whereby the commerce of the country is
to be facilitated and protected, is seasonably
expended. If our friends of the Hollander will
inform their readers of the fact that for three
long years there has been at the disposal of a
Wing administration, the sum Of three thou
sand five hundred dollars which should have
been long ago expended at the mouth of Black
River, it may possibly serve further to convince
them the claim set up by many Wing prints,
that in their party alone, can be found friend
ship for the commercial interests of the coun-
try, is hypocritica cant, and nothing else.

New YORK CRYSTAL PALACE.-We under
stand that this work will 60 on; the Company
is 10 have the Building ready by the I'd of May,
next year, at "Reservoir Square," this city
Some important regulations have been adopted
to carry out the objects of the Society, and for
this, some discordant elements have been re-
moved. A number of designs have been presen-
ted for the building, but only two are worth
looking at; they are the English one by Paxton
and the American one by Bogardus-we have
had an opportunity of looking at both plans.
and we must say, that the one of Mr.. Bogardus
is far the best in every respect in beauty, gram
deur, originality, strength, simplicity, and econo-
my. If erected, as it should be, it will be an
honor to our country. 1t is in the Doric style
of architecture, and is of a circular form, with n
tall tower in the centre, rising grandly above
all The whole area of 400 feet in diameter
will be embraced at one glance, while the charg-'
ing points of beauty, owing to its form and the
regularity of its columns, will be like panora-
una to visitors. And one grand element in the
calculation-a truly American one, is, that af-
ter it has accomplished its object in the exhibit
ton, it can be taken down in parts, and fitted
up into number of public or private dwellings.
All the parts are so cast and fitted, that they
can be taken to any part of the world, and will
all dovetail together. This is n very different
feature from the London Crystal Palace
Whatever the projectors Of the Crystal Palace
may do for Improvement Of the arts, it will add
to their reputation if this noble design be adop-
ted by them.
