Music of Nature,

Nature through all her depths is replete
with Music, infinitely varied in its tones, and
rich in melody. There is Music in the still
ness of the twilight hour; in the voice of the
baimy breeze as it siges amidst the stirring lea
YES of the slarlit grove or sleeps upon the calm
bosom of the reposing waters in the bubbling
of the inland fountain and the laundering Of
the foaming cataract, in the ripping of the
storm stirred sea! There is Music in the Joyous
symphonies Of the glad songsters of the grove
beneath, and the muttcrings of the thunders
above; in Heaven, on Earth, in the outspread
skies and the invisible air; in the solitary dell
and on the high mountains cloud-veilcd top,
where human foot steps have never left an echo
in the deepest cells of the passion stirred heart
and inanimate depths OF the material world; in
the dim rays of Earth, and the beam of those
celestial lights which gem the highest 6rma-
mrnt, and guide the angels to their evening
orisons; in the tones of womRns voice on earth
and the devotions of the pure spirits Of the bet
ier land. In all, through all, and over all are
forever vibrating the rich Music of universal
harmony and the deep tones Of undyiny mel
Iody. The sound of invisible harPs are pouring
their united harmony the depths of Air and
Earth; millions of archangels touch their hcnv-
Ienly strung Tyres, and send their celestial har-
mony through The vast halls of the temple Of
the living God, up to the burning throne of the
dreaded ETERNAL ONE! 1t is the air of Earth
the atmosphere Of Heaven; The unbound uni.
verse is one of the slecpless Tyre, hose chords
Of Love and Hope and Peace are famed into
mystic melody, by the breath of the INVISIBLE
GoD!

A Bad State Of Things.

To see little boys attending concerts and
shows, and there making all the noise that
they possibly can, to the annoyance and dis
turbance of the audience and performers.
AT the concert of the Misses M'Kenzie, the
stamping, following, and other rude conduct
of the boys. was such that several ladies pres
ent were compelled to leave, and forego the
object for which they attended.
This conduct is not confined to the small
boys merely, but we noticed several of the lar.
ger ones, from Is to 25 years of age, who
wish to pass for gentlemen, { y who behaved
worse, if any thing. than the smaller ones.
We trust the little boys will learn to be-
have themselves better on such occasions;-
and the larger ones. ifthey persevere in then
course, will be attended to as The law directs
and provides. In word. they will be taught
eiiuilizaiion, state of society which they ap'
pear to know nothing about.

Great COnnagratiOn--The state Heuss
DESTROYED!

Yesterday Sunday morning about o'clock
the cry of Fire rang through our streets Il
was soon ascertained that the Old State House
was on FIRE. The watch first discovered it in
the centre of the Senate Chamber, and on the
floor. This was nearly extinguished when it
was discovered that The the timbefs overhead
and near the belfry were on FIRE. Soon il
bdrst out through the roof, and the entire bel
fry was quickly in flames. The engines could
not reach the FIRE, and it was then evident that
the venerable old ediice which the Legislature
OF Ohio has met for the last thirty five years
was doomed to destruction. The belfry, after
burning brilliantly for few moments, came
down with a crash upon the floor Of the Sen :
ate Chamber The roof then gradually fell
in. and the upper story of the building was a
mass Of flames. An effort was made 10 con-
fine the fire to the Senate Chamber and upper
rooms, but there was too heavy mass Of burn
ing matter on the floor 10 be extinguished, and
soon the flames reached the Hall Of the House
of Representatives. The origin of The FIRE has
not yet been ascertained. The desks. chairs
and furniture had been removed, and the en-
tire building was then resigned to its fate.
In the Senate Chamber very little was saved.
We learn that the Clerks papers were all Sc
cured, but that large mass of of Documents
Journals. Constitutional Debates dc. were con-
sumed.
The loss to the State IS not great, as Il Is
hoped that by 1854, the State House will
be SO far completed as to permit the session
of both Houses in the new halls II will make
q temporary Inconvenience during the present
session but will not be very serious
We don't know what the Legislature will
do. We presume the City Council will offer
the City Hall and Council Chamber to them
But we doubt whether their shape will be
found to answer the purpose. Il is the inn
preston that the House will occupy the Odeon
and the Senate. the room in the old Court
House. These are near each other and can
easily be made comfortable. But we will know
more of this to morrow. State Jour-

Democracy at washington

Mr. Donaldson. of the Washington Union
the right bowor of General Jackson, and the
head of the leading LocofocO paper in the Uni
ted States. in his paper of the 18th inst, speak
ing of Kossuth and his movements says:
alt is clear We suppose in the public judg-
ment-certainy it is CLEAR in our own-that
precedent, and significant, do not imply that
sur government is to be precipitated, at this
time, or pledge now for any future time to the
policy of armed Intervention in the affairs oi
Europe The whole wisdom, and patriotism et
our land would rightfully rise up and protest
with one voice against such a conclusion. And
in this protest they would be sustained BY all
the grand traditions of our policy. Such active
and operative Intervention at this time, and un-
der present circumstances, may find individual
enthusiasts to advocate it; but there is in this
country no party in favor of it, and not even
the marvellous eloquence nor the gand career
Of Kossuth can new create such party"

Publishing the Laws.

We notice in the proceedings of the Legis-
lature. that resolution has been offered to
repeal the law providing for the publication OF
the laws in the country newspapers. We
trust, for the honor of the Legislature and the
State. that this proposition will fail. We be-
leve there is no law on the statute, that has
met with more general favor from the people
at large, than this. As they are amenable 10
the laws, it is presumed that they should be
acquainted with them; and in what manner
can they more generally be brought before
the people, than by their publication in the Sc
veral newspapers throughout Ohio.
More particularly at this time, than at any
other, should they be published. Most of the
present laws will undergo an entire change;
very few of their original features will be left
and an entire new state Of things brought in.
to existence. BY the old mode of having the
laws published in pamphlet form, and then sent
into the several counties to be distributed
among the public officers, it would require
years for the people to become generally IA
niliar with their provisions; whereas, if pub
lished in the newspapers, as fast as they pass
from the hands of the Legislature, they would
at once become familiar to the people, and in
many instances, no doubt, would be the means
Of averting much trouble and expense.
The expense incurred by the State in hav-
ing the laws published in the newspapers is
so triAing, when compared with the benefits
TO be derived from such course, that VIC
cannot conceive why the Legislature should
consider for moment what course to pursue
in this matter.
Our Senator and Representative cannot
better serve their constituents than by using
their influence and votes against the repeal Of
this law.

Our friend Cooley has sent us notice, be-
laboring us. most soundly for not noticing his
January number of the Lady's book. We
thought we we're wrougfully accused, but up
on examining our file, we found that we were
deserving Of all we got. How we made such
an oversight, we cannot imagine, but we have
so often spoken of the merits of the Lady's
book, besides having sent several subscribers
for the present volume through our P. NJ, that
we trust to escape further censure.
The January and February numbers are
upon our table, and as usual, are most superb
ly embeIlished; containing some as excellent
engravings as ever appeared in any magazine.
The literary department is of the higheStcbar
acter, being entirely original, and written BY
American men and women of the most ac-
knoWledged talent.
The lowest price of this magazine is o.,
but we will furnish it and the Fremont Free

"He said he had known two cases in which
persons had been tried before him for the crime
of murder. In the first instance four of the ju-
rors who were to judge of the guilt or inno-
cencn of the party accused. were murderers;
and in two weeks after he tried the second, and
for the same crime. in an adjoining county
where three out of the twelve were guilty of
the same crime-murder."
"Thus seven men out of twentv-four, who
were called upon to administer justice to two
of their fellow men, were guilty of the same
offence with the parties accused"

quilting the Ohio Legislature, or defrauding
