The same gallant mare was ready for
me at night. twas precisely full moon,
and had determined on visiting Kar-
max again before leaving. There was
no one but the guide and |, he armed
with his long spear, and with my pis-
tolls, IN my belt There was wan
haze in the air, and pale halo around
the moon, on each side of which appear
ed two faint mock-moons. 1t was a
ghostly light, and the fresh north-wind
coming up the Nile, rushing solemnly
in the palm trees We trotted silently
to Karnak, and leaped our horses over
the fragments till they reached the foot
of the first obelisk. Here we dismount-
ed and entered the grand hall of pillars.
There was no sound in all the temple,
and the guide, who seemed to compre-
bend my thought, moved behind me as
softly as shadow, and spoke not a
word. 1t needed this illumination to
comprehend Karnak. The unslghtly
rubbish has disappeared: the rents in
the roof are atoned for by the moonlight
they admit; the fragments shivered from
the lips of the mighty capitals are only
the crumpled edges of the nower;a maze
of shadows hides the desolatlon of the
courts, but every pillar and obelisk, py-
Ion and propylon is glorlfed by the
moonlight. The soul of karnak is
s0othed and tranqmlized. Its halls look
upon you no longer with an aspect OF
pain and humiliation. Every stone
seems to say: 81 am not fallen, for
have defed the ages. am part Of
that grandeur which has never seen its

the silence been disturbed by two arri-
walls of romantic tourists-an English
man and two Frenchmen. We eX-
changed situations, and | mounted the
restless mare again, touched her side
with the stirrup, and sped back to Lux

casionally hurting his spear into the air

my readiness to indulge his desert

me that he had dug through it, and found bones,
which were beyond doubt the bones ola human

Letter from the West,

Ertractofa letter dated Morgan Comfy, Ohio,
MARCH 2lst, 1852.
AS respects the price ofproperty, what is call
ed improved land is worth from 10 to 25 dollars
per acre. Horses sell nearly as high as they
do in Maryland. There are so many drovers
and so much competition that cattle ofall kinds
command a good price. Wheat is so cents per
bushel-Corn 30-Oats 20-Butter 10 cts per
ID. Flour barrels are 80 cts. This county and
Cecil, are nearly In the same latitude, and the
productions are neatly similar. The article of
Tobacco is the only one extensively cultivated
here, that is not in Cecil county. 1t is generally
planted in new ground, and good crop of
tobacco may be raised before the ground is in a
condition to produce grain; it is also considered
one of the most profitable crops.
As for wild animals; deer, bears, and wolves
have disappeared from this neghborhood. Souir-
rels, partridges and foxes are numerous. Some
of the squirrels are black as crows, and person
unaccusomed to the sight might mistake one of
these black squirrels for black cat among the
top branches of the trees.

From the N. Y. Herald Of the Union.]
A DAY AT MOUNT VERNON.

The stream Of Time, which sweeps
almost every thing human to oblivion,
passes without injury by the everlasting
column of Washington's fame. Those
commissions which threaten the perma-
nence of our Union, and sicken us with
the strifes and struggles of parties, only
render more and more dear the name of
the Father of the American Republic.
The nations of the Old World, as they
lift their wearied and half.palsied arms
to strike for liberty, utter the name of
Washington with veneraton, gratitude,
and love. Wherever the all-glowing
sun lights up the homes of earth's chill
dren; through all the continents and is
lands; along all the shores and rivers;
on every green mountains side, and
down every blushing valley, the old tell
his history to the young, and all nations
rise up and call him blessed. All that
belonged to hun has become dear to man
kind. The ground his feet pressed, is
sacred. The trees he planted with his
own hand, the groves through which he
walked at evening, still seem to breathe
his name as they rustic their zephyr
music. Even the sparkling rlpples of
that majestic stream which flows on by
Mount Vernon, seem to utter intelligi ble
words to the car of the pilgrim, who
from that green lawn looks through the
bending boughs by moonlight on the
glist ening waters.
1t is strange that the world should have
thought and SAID so little of the arJe Of
such man! We have sought in vain
for those minute records of her history
which might crafty curiosity: and who
can repress desire to know something
more than is written of the being who
shared SO largely the affections of Wash
ington whose image he bore in his heart
through the long, perilous years of the
great struggle! She should have been
noble, and beautiful, and she was.
The following words are all the chron-
icle ofthe times has left us: -
