K0SStlth at NIAGARA.

Wien / hurried through your city few
days ago, to strengthen my out-wofn nerves
BY the contemplation Of the Niagara Falls,
that sublime wonder Of nature, TO describe
which, human tongue will never find a
word to comprehend the grandeur of which
man must not look at it with the natural
eye but with the immortal soul, and listen
to lis roaring not with the eyes but with
the heart; when we thus see it with the
soul and hear it with the heart, then we
understand it, that it is mirror in which
the Creator glsssed his own majesty; that
the boundless eternity Of time and space is
still going on; that tbs agreat monitor to
The mortal world, advising man that there
is no difficulty over which an iron will can
not prevail. e
Such mirror, such revelation, and
such monitor, was Niagara tome. Every
element Of ply sicial nature, and every ele
ment Of spiritual life, has its destiny and
destiny must be accomplished. The mighty
waters Of the Away increasing Lake Erie,
must have and must make en- outlet. Those
waters must flow and mankind must be
free Both are destiny. A whim Of ma
ture barred the way to those waters by a
mighty range ofrocks-as crime and am
biiion barred the way TO nankind's liberty
by rocky range Of despotism but the fall
ling waters broke the barrier of rocks-pro.
crossing liberty win break the barrier of
despotism. tits destiny.
When saw the waters take that sub
lime leap over the rocks; and below the
boiling 6an Of overcome tolls, crowned
with the rainbow OF victory, flowing on in
calm peace-when saw the struggle, the
victory-the rainbow and the peace, a
mysterious voice in the recess Of my heart
told me, there Is the mirror Of my country's
cause. ~ 44z-s
And the rainbow in the foaming deep
spoke 10 me like the rainbow on the sky
once to Noah spoke, and an inexpressible
I Joy thrilled through my heart, and adored
the Almighty with the awe Of silence, that
eloquence of a deep. feeling heart.-Abans

The propensity of mankind, to admire
and applaud generous action or a noble
sacrifice Of self, for another, evidences con-
clusively, that all is not evil within us that
there are yet some redeeming qualities in
human nature, which however much they
may slunlber, do not die entirely away.
That we Individually could not have sub.
mltted to the same sacrifice, is not evidence
that there is nothing good in our bosoms !;
but merely that we are not without evil
still proves US not altogether dead to that
which we can admire. Some profess the
idea of total and utter deprav;ty of the
heart; but bad as we are, it is pleasant to
believe, that there fingers yet upon earth
asmall portion of that pure spirit which
made Eden blessed, and which still WHITES
and gladdens the path of the pilgrim.

WATER DRINKING.-P Prof. Sillman clo-
sed recent Smithsonian lecture in Wash
ton by giving the following sensible advice
to young men:
81 Therefore you wish fora clear ..mind,
strong muscles, and quiet nerves, and long
life and power prolonged into old age, per-
NIT me to say, although I am not giving
temperance lecture, avoid all drinks but
water, and mild infusions Of that fluid;
shun tobacco and opium, any every thing
else that disturbs the normal state Of the
system; rely upon nutricious food and mild
dilutent drinks of which tho water is the
basis, and you will need nothing beyond
these things except rest, and due moral
regulations of all your powers, to give you
long. happy and useful lives aud a serene
evening at the close''

Suggested by the death of Mrs SARAH P. Roor
/ consort OF Mr. John d. Root Of Mantua, Ohio
/ BY MRS. a. NJ. HARMON.
! "She is dead; to him to ALI
Her lutte hangs silent, on the wall,
And on thestairs. and at the door, 2E
/ Her fairy step is heard no more"
| Most lovely of her sex, she now is sleeping,
Inthe lone church-yard, meath the grassy sod
While weary hearts, and sleepless eyes are weep
a ing,
Her pure and happy SOULS with its God.
No more her gentle tones are heard at even,
In vespers, at the sacred hour Of prayer,
For now she joins, the blissful choirs in Heaven,
In spotless beauty, with bright spirits fair.
Oh. who shall dare atsemptto paint the anguish
Of his lone heart, to her SO freely given;
In sad bereavement his fond soul must languish,
Ills brightest, dearest, sweetest hopesare riyen
That voice is hushd, which thrilpd his soul with
gladness,
Those eyes are closed, which beemed so softly
- fair,
And sees with silent grief, her vacant chair.
And when he looks upon those fair young blos-
SONS, a--s szEl= ss9sSz5
On whom her life shone like guiding star,
A laboring sigh bursts from his heaying bosom,
He turns, and turns, but she's no longer there.
And when the -matin hymn is softly blending,
In gentle cadence, at the altar where
Her fragile form was late so humbly bending,
Parents, husband, children I'LL but she is there
She the faithful daughter, iwife, and mother,
The generous, kind and worthy christian
4.a friend, u
In life We scarce expect to find another,
In whom somany gems of worth will blend.
While he, the stricken one, in mournful numbers.
Attwilights pensiye hour, pours forth his woe,
His plantiye strains wake not her dreamless
s. slumbers,
None can assuage, his bosom's heaving throes
Her honored parents feel the deepest sorrow,
She was their cherished, last, beloved one
To them, in life there seems no brighter morrow
Seven loving children, all alas. are gone.
In their bright home of rest there is no sadness,
Ne weary wasting Of the frame away;
Far in the relms of bliss, and ceaseless gladness
2 In white-robed innocence they've led the way.
And o. may friends who yet remain to cluster
Around the sacred altar, and the hearth,
When parting from life's shore, show forth o
luster,
As they have done, of bright unfading worth.

LYRA AND OTHER POEMS By ALICE cAsrr. limo.
Up. l7S. Redtield
This volume contains selection OF
poems. many of which are already familiar to the
public, and have secured beautiful distinction to
the author smong the female poets OF this coun-
try. Miss Carey possesses u lively and delicate
faxcy; her mind teens with rural images, winch
have been suggested by genuine passion Tor
nature; she avails herself, with spontaneous III
cility Of the every day sights and sounds OF the
country for the purposes of poetry throwing tne
charm Of graceful ideality over the homeieSt
details of household life her verse flows IN VEN
of pure and tender sentiment; while she possess
ses a sufficient variety and strength of expression
to do Justice to her highest Inspirations. Her
creative power is nct remarkable; her finest pro-
auctions betray the influence of lingering remm's-
cences; she delights in the play OF her =" thick
coming fancies :" but she fails to soar into the
lotiest regions of Imagination. Nor do we detect
the deep basis of thought, which underlies the
only durable structures of poetry. Her mind IS
contemplative, refined, sngularly susceptible to
the beautiful influences of the external world, but
without the reflective tendency which gives such
masculine vgor to the poetry of Mrs. Brown
ing. In sweetness hewever, in pathos, IN tender
ness. in the simple melody of versfcation, she
will compare favorably with her. or with any other
living poetess. The passional tone OF her
writings betrays a delicate rctenue; she Is con-
versant with feelings that arc even 81 too deep tor
tears" but she INDUCES in no intensity OF ex-
preston is always calm, reverent, subdued She
does not minister any morbid craving for excite
ment. Some readers might accuse her of tameness,
of pensive refinement, that reminds one OF the
soft languor of the invalid. We do not admit the
Justice of this objection; but it must be confessed,
that it is not the most joyous vital, self-poised
natures which will find the deepest sympathy with
her productions. They certainly open to the
charge of monotony. Their prevailing theme is
unhappy love. In the back ground, we are sure
to see funeral procession and the grave. Sorrow
has seldom been clothed in more exquisite imagery;
but we have too much of it; its proportion IN
poetry should not exceed that in real life. The
tones of grief "most musical, most melancholy"
soon weary with their paintve wall, and the long
ing ear demands the refreshment OF sweetly lyri-
cal, or nobly jubilant strains. The whole volume
may almost be said to be reproduction Of the
sweet gush of pathos, which gives such tender
charm to
