E WORLD is BRIGHT BEFORE TIL
BY FRITZ GREEN HALLECK.
The world is bright before thee,
Its summer flowers are thine;
Its calm, blue sky IS o'er thee
Thy bosom virtues shine;
And thine the sunbeam given
To natures morning hour,
Pure, warm as when from heaven
1t bursts from Eden's bower.
There is song of sorrow
The death dirge of the gay
That tells, 'er dawn of morrow,
Those charms may fade away;
The suns bright beams be shaded,
That sky be blue no more,
The summer flower be faded,
And youths warm promise o'er.
Believe it not, though lonely
The evening home may be,
Though beauty's bark can only
Float on a summer sea
Though time thy bloom is stealing,
There's still beyond his art
The wild flower wreath of feeling
The sunbeam of the heart.

A FAT Woman IN TRorRIE AT SEA,

A FAT WOMAN IN TROUBLE AT SEA-
A corpulent lady, on her way to California,
writes back to one of her acquaintances her
experience of travelling. Here is an extract:
|"Our cabin has two boxes in it called ber,hs,
though coffins would be nearer the thing,
for you think more of your latter end at sea
a great deal. One of these is situated over
the other like two shelves, and these make
what they call stateroom. My berth is
the uppermost one, and ! have TO climb up
to it putting one foot on the lower one, and
the other away out on the wash-sland, which
is great stretch, and makes i. very strain
ing-and then lift one knee on the berth
and roll into it sideways. This is very in
convenient for woman of my size, and
very dangerous. Last night put my foot
on Mrs. Browns face as she lay asleep close
to the edge Of the lower one, and nearly
pu. out her eye; and have torn all the
skin off my knees, and then have
large black spot where have been hurt,
and my head is swelIed. To dismount is
another feat of horsemanship only fit for
sailor. You can't sit up for the floor over
head so you have to turn round and roll
your legs out fret, and then hold on till you
touch bottom somewhere, and then let your
self down upright.

for delicate female, if the steward happens
to come in when you are in the act this
way. don'l know which is the hardest, TO

most difficult things in the world, and shall
be glad when am done with it. am o.
bliged to dress in my bed before leave it,
and nobody who hasn't tried to put on their
clothes lying down can tell what a task it
is. Lacing stays behind your back, and you
on your face, nearly smothered with the
bed clothes, and feeling for the eyelet hole
with one hand and to put the tag in with
the other, while you are rolling about from
side to side, is no laughing matter. Yester-
day fastened on the pillows to my buslle
by mistake, in the hurry: and never knew
it till the people laughed, and said the sea
agreed with me, had grown SO fat: but
putting on stockings is the worst, for
there amt room to stoop forward, so you
have to bring your foot to you, and stretch
ing out on your back, lift up your leg till
you can reach it, and then drag it on. Cor
pulent people cam. always do this so easy,

RELIGION IN OREGoN.--A writer from
Oregon. in giving sketch Of religion
matters there, has the following Gacts
and figures
Population Of the Territory, 10000
Methodist Episcopal Church Ministers Is
Methodist Protestant Ministers 4
Congregationalist Ministers 6
Baptist missionary Ministers 5
Baptist (Ant-Missionar,) Ministers 6
Presbyterian New and Old) Ministers 4
Associate and Associate Reformed Ministers 3
Cumberland Presbyterian Ministers 4
The same writer mentions that literary
institutions have been commenced in
Oregon, by the following denomina-
tcns - Methodist Episcopal Church,
Congrega,ionist, Baptist Missionary
Presbyterian, and Associate Reformed
Churches and there is also a we'll ens
dowed Female Seminary, under the
special care Of all the denominations.
He adds, tina, ",he worst thing about
Oregon is the difficulty Of getting into
it,"
The writer has omitted two things
first, what religion will the young ladies
profess when they come out OF the "well
endowed Seminary, under the care OF
all denominations {" Whether they are
likely 10 be Methodis,s, Episcopalians,
Baptsts, or Presbytcrans 2 The Sc
cond is-are there any Catholics in
Oregon 2 The second omission we can
ourselves supply. BE it then known,
that in the portion Of the Archdiocese Of
Oregon within the United States, there
is one Archbishop, one Bishop, q
Priests. 20 Churches, 23 other Catholic
missionary stations, 2 Academies for
young men and two for young ladies. -
Thus il will be seen that the Catholic
Church, has more CIergymen in the
district OF Oregon, than any three Of the
sectariaa Churches together-an1 with
regard to educaiiOD, AL The sectarIes by
clubbing together have but one semi
