Watching.

Watching.
The following lines are printed from the
proof sheets of the volume Of poems Just is
sued by l.. CoDY, from the pen Of Mrs.
Emily c. Judson. The poem was evidently
written in the East, during Mrs. Judson'
lonely watches by the bed side of her dying
husband. The lines are instinct with the
gentle sorrow and trembling tenderness of a
woman's heart, amid the gathering shadows
ola half anticipated bereavement. No Eng
lishg poem with which we ore acquainted
gives more perfect reflection of an Orcn-
tal night. Even Heber's beautiful lines to
his wife must yield to those in delicate beau
ty, depth of feeling, and that strange skill
of the heart by which, Hamlct-likc, the
writer gives the sombrc hue Of her own soul
10 the distant tinkling of the pagoda bells.
the cool breezes OF night, and the shadows
which,
"With gentle human care,
Compassionate and dumb"
sway to and fro around the lowly couch Of
the Christian HERO Literary World.
Sleep, love, sleep
The dusty day is done.
Lo! from afGr the freshening brcezes sweep,
Wide over groves Of balm,
Down from the towering palm.
In at the open easement cooling run,
And thy lowly bed,
Thy bed Of pain,
Bathing thy patient head
Like grateful showers Of rain,
They come;
While the white curtains, waving to and fro,
Fan the sick air;
And pityingly the shadows come aud go,
With gentle human care,
Compassionate and dumb.
The dusty day is done,
The night begun;
While prayerful watch keep,
Sleep, love, sleep!
Is there no magic in the touch
OF fingers thou dost love so much?
Fan would they scatter peoples DER thee now,
Or with soft caress,
The tremuous lip it own nepcnthc press
Upon the weary lid and aching brow
While prayerful watch keep,
Sleep, love, sleep!
On the pagoda spire
The bells are swinging,
Their little golden circles in lluttar
With tales the wooiug winds have dared 10 utter,
Till all are ringing
AS if choir
or goden-nested birds IN heaven were singing;
And with lulling sound, the music floats around,
And drops ike balm into the drowsy ear;
Commingng with the hum
OF the Sepoy's distant drum,
And lazy beetle ever droning near.
Sounds these OF deepest silence born,
Like night made visible by morn;
SO silent that Isometmes start
TO hear the throbbings of my heart,
And watch, with shiyering sense Of pain,
To see thy pale lids lift again.
The lizard, with his nouze-like eyes,
Peeps from the mortise in surprise
N such strange quiet after days harsh din;
Then ventures boldly out,
And looks about,
And with his hollow feet
Treads his small evening beat,
Darling upon his prey
In such a tricksy WinsOme sort OF way,
His delicate marauding seems 10 sln.
And still the curtains swing
But noislessly;
The bells a melancholy murmurinS
As tears were in the sky;
More heavily the shadows fall,
Like ths black fodings of pail,
Where juts the rough beam from the wall
The candles flare
With fresher gusts Of air;
The beetles drone
Turns to dirge-like solitary moan;
Night deepens, and sit, in cherries doubt, alone.

EUROPEAN POLITICS.

Lord Palmerston's retirement from the

cussion in the papers received by the Asia,
and is rightly regarded as an event big with
Importance to the future of European poli
ties Some Of the London journals continue
to maintain that the cause Of difference witt.

poleon's coup d'etat, and his course in com
municating that approval without the sane
tion of the ministry but the exact degree Of
truth IN this statement, ard the others that
are in circulation, viii not be known until the
assembling Of Parliament. The proceedings
of the Austrian government, and their I'M
bounded delight in consequence of the change,
dc not permit doubt to exist as to the light
in which they view it, or the results which
they anticipate from it in relation to the pol.
icy of England towards continental absolu-
tism. The authorities Of Vienna evince their
appreciation ofthe fact that Lord Palmerston
alone swayed the influence of the Russell minis
try on the side Of libealism and thathaving got
rid Of him, English diplomacy will be no
longer a formidable obstacle in the way of
their plans. Admitting lord Granville to
be as amiable as he is represented to be, the
feeling is all but general on the part Of the
English press, as well as Of the -ccrrespon-
dents Of the most reliable of cur contcmpora.

entrusted with the management of the foreign
policy of Britain at the present emergency

General Lane, Territorial Delegate to
Congress from Oregon, thus writes in refer
encc to the settlement, soil, aud climate of
that Territory. lie estimates the population
at twenty thousand, and says the emigration
is rapidly increasing owing not only to the
natural advantages of the country, but to the
liberal provisions made for actual settlers
BY late law of Congress. The population
is of substantial character, much better
than is generally found in new countries
Those who contemplate emigrating to Ore
gon, should be ready to leave st. Joseph, on
the Missouri river, with proper outfit, by
the first day of May. OK teams are much
to be preferred Provisions for the trip, and
sufficient blankets for bedding, with such
tools only as are necessary to repair wagon,
should be taken. Dry goods groceries fur.
niture, and farming utensils Of all kinds are
abundant in Oregon, and no one should think
of taking such things with them. 1t must
not, however, be supposed that no incouve-
niences are to be experienced by emigrants
after they arrive there.

consider that there il any necessity for press

It belongs to the nature of the whole tribe
Of politicians TO do for the sake ofvotes, what
they would not trouble themselves to do for
the sake Of the country. The interests Of
domestic industry may be prostrated in this,
that. or the other department Of labor, once
productive and capable of being made pro-
ductive again; bat the dealers in political
influence take no cognizance Of such inter-
ests, or Of their prostration, until neglected
and Injured industry lays held of the machi-
merry Of the ballot box and shows that it can
control votes and make itself felt ia elections.
Then the whole clan of political patriots are
sensitiyely reminded of the just claims of do
nestle labor, Of its essential connections with
the national wealth and strength and pros
perity, Of its grea. and paramount Importance
altogether. Their sympathy becomes opera
tive at onoe.
A case in point is presented in the follow
ing extract from the Washington correspon-
dence of the New York Tribune:
The Tariff. which, as things are, stands
The smallest possible chance Of being amend
ed at the present session, could stand abso-
lately none at all but for the fact of its be-
ing the Presidential gear. The receut Penn
sylvania election was in great measure car
ried by promises Of tie Loco Focos that the
iron interest would certainly receive attention
at this session, and be revived by higher du-
ties Its not the first time thai the honest
voters Of that State have been led to give
their votes for the promises 10 pay Of Loco
Foco politicians in the shape of drafts on fu-
ture Congresses. And as they always have
been protested heretofore, it was hard to
make them 20 current at the last election.
Yet they did pass in thousands Of instances
not readily, but for the reason that these
promises were accompanied with the declar-
alton that if the Pennsylvania Iron interest
was to be helped at ALL it must be by Loco
Foco votes, for the Wings were powerlcss in
both branches
Gov. Bigler volunteered to como down to
Washington to aid in the redemption Of these
promises, and will be along by-and-by. He
will enforce the necessity Of fulfilling them
by the significant declaration that Pennsyl-
vania Loco Focos have been cheated SO often
on this point that their forbearauce is ex-
hausted, and that the State is absolutely and
irrecoyerably gone at the next election for
President, unless something is done for the
Iron interest. This is demonstration the
free traders will vince under. What more.
