/ think Of thee at early morn,
when birds their carols sing,
And joyfuliy the sun sdore,
Aud hail the merry Spring.
/ think Of thee when morning dews,
All beautiful aud bright,
Their sweetness DER the fields difuse,
And give the eye delight.
think of thee when Phebus bright,
Sheds beauty DER the earth,
And bids the heart Of man be light,
And know not aught but mirth.
think Of thee when forth roam
Among the flowers fair,
And see the lovely violet
Its worth so meekly bear.
think of thee when odors sweet
Are borne upon the air;
And butterflies each other meet
Upon the lilies fair.
I think Of thee, my dearest girl
When Luna's beams are seen
Upon the rose Of lovely hue,
Hid in her mossy green.
think of thee when behold
The twinkling stars on high
Appear like pure and shining gold.
And from their stations fly.
/ think of thee when worldly care,
And sorrows, keen and deep,
Are lost in dreams all bright and fair
OF sweet and balmy sleep.
/ think Of thee, believe me, dear,
Where eer chance to be;
Among the friends who now are near
Or far across the sea
/ think Of thee by, day, by night
My thoughts area all Of thee.
Oh. make my heart all glad and light
And say thou lowest me.

DEAF AND DUNE CoNGREGATIoN.-Ane exchange
paper says
Rev Mr.. Gallaudet, the son and worthy sue
cessor of the celebrated Mr.. Gallaudet, of Hart
ford, has recently formed a congregation of
deaf mutes, to whom he breaches in their noise
less but significant language every Sabbath, in
the small chapel of the University. Mr.. G.. pro-
poses to build church for the special accom-
mediation of this unfortunate class. 1t is stated
that there are upwards of one hundred educa-
ted deaf mutes in the city, and the number is
fast increasing The silence of this novel and
impressive service would make Quaker meet
ing seem uproarious.

A PET FIsH.-Mr. j.. G. Phinney, at the dye
house, in this city, has q large water tank of
the capacity of several hogsheards, from which
he procures supply of pure water for use in
his business About six years since, he obtained
and placed in the tank brook trout, of few
inches in length, and has since fed it regularly
with scraps Of meat until it has attained a
weight Of six pounds, and n length of some
eighteen inches The tank is fed by spring,
and the overflow carried off by pipe, so that
the supply of water is constant, cool and pure,
and Sir Trout lives and enjoys life like philos-
opher-another Diogenes in his tub. This fish,
although approached by its owner, ana always
coming at his CALL is shy in the presence of stran-
gers, and when he sees only strange faces above
| him, usually retires to the bottom of the tub.
We paid o visit to this fnny celebrity the other
| day, and approaching his domain alone, we
found him suspended midway in the crystal
fluid, slowly moving his fins to and fro, his
beautifully spotted back cleaning in the light.
As usual, he took no notice of his strange visi-
tor, although invited to acquaintance by such
advances as crumbs thrown ON the water; but
when Mr.. Phinney appeared with some strips of
raw beef steak, his apathy gave place to the
utmost activity. He would dart from the bot
tom, and throw himself clear out Of the water if
| picc of meat was held above, and almost always
succeeded in catching it. He is an unsocial fish,
and small ones even of his own kind, are at once
devoured, if placed with him. His last exploit
in this line was killing and devouring a club
eight inches long. A man not long since was
drinking from the tank, not knowing that it was
tenanted, when the trout made q spring at his
| face and severely bit his lip. An. old angler
can not view his fine, plump proportions, with
out desire to throw a fly on the water, and try
how he would feel at the end of a rod Ken

POLITICAL SECRETS The Duke of Wellington
says there is an awkwardness in secret which
enables discerning men invariably to find it outs
and it may be depended upon that, whenever
always suffers when it is exposed to public view.
For this reason, secresy is always best; and
those who have been long trusted with the con-
duct of public affairs, are in the habit Of never
making known public business of any descrip-
ton, that it is necessary thepublic should know.
The consequence is, that secresy becomes natu-
raj to them, and as much habit as it is to 9TH
ers to talk of public matters; and they have il
in their power to keep things secret or not, as
they think proper.
