DAILY EVENING STAR.
PICTURES OF MEMORY.

Among the beautiful pictures
That hang on Memory's wall,
Is one of dim old forest
That seemeth the best of all;
Not for the knarled oaks olden,
Dark with the misleto;
Not for the violet golden,
That sprinkle the vale below;
Not for the milk-white lilies
That lean from the fragrant hedge,
Coquetting all day with the sunbeams,
And stealing their golden edge;
Not for the vines, in the old upland;
Where the brightred berries rest:
Nor the pinks, nor the pale sweet cowslip,
It seemeth to me the best.
l once had little brother,
With eyes that were dark and deep
In the lap of that dim old forest
He lieth in peace asleep;
Light as the down of the thistle,
Free as the winds that blow,
We roved there the beautiful summers,
The summers of long ago;
But his feet on the hills grew weary,
And one of the autumn ewes,
/ made for my little brother,
bed of yellow leaves.
Sweetly his pale arms folded
My neck in meek embrace,
As the light of immortal beauty
Silence covered his face;
And when the earrows of sunset
Lodged in the tree-tops bright,
He fell, in his saint like beauty,
Asleep by the gates of light.
Therefore of all the pictures
That hang on Memory's wall,
The one of the dim old forest
Ses meth the best cf all.

Soou care OF him; We know where to put
him. We don't want nag; an old steady
horse that will give us an easy pleasant
ride"
cold Tom is jest the horse you want"
said Jacob, sand there's good easy going
chaise."
"That chaise isn't wide enough" said
Joe; "give US the widest one you've got"
"But that's plenty wide enough for two
to ride in,' said Jacob; 81 don't see what
you want wider chaise than that for.''
"oh, like to have plenty of elbow
room," said Joe.
" Maybe you are going to have lady to
ride with you," said Jacob.
Joe laughed, and whispered to Rufus that
Jake had hit nearer the mark than he was
aware of.
Jacob selected another chaise.
"There is one," said he, "wide enough
for three to ride in, and even four upon a
pinch"
"That'll do" said Joe; "now put in old
Tom
The horse was soon harnessed, and Joe
and Rufus jumped into the chaise and drove
off.
"Confound these college chaps" said Ja-
cob to himself as they drove out of the
yard; ''they are always sky-larkin' some
where or other. There's one thing in it
though, they pay me well for my horses.
But these two fellows wanting such broad
chaise; they are going to have real frolc
somewhere tonight I've a plaguey good
mind to jump on to one of the horses, and
follow, and see what sort of STUFF they are
up to. It's so dark l could do it lust as
we'll as not, without the least danger of
their seeing me-"
No sooner thought than done. Jake at
once mounted one of his horses, and follow
ed the chaise. There was no moon. and
the night was cloudy and dark; but slight
rattle in one of the wheels of the chaise
enabled him easily to follow it, though en-
tirely out of sight Having gone about two
miles the chaise stopped at the corner
about hundred rods from the house of
Doctor Stubs. Jake got off and hitched
his horse, and crept carefully along by the
side of the fence to see what was to be done
there. By STOPPING down and looking up
against clear patch of the sky, he could
see one of the two leave the chaise and 90
to the fence by the side of the road, and re-
turn again, carrying something in his arms
to the chaise. He repeated this operation
twice; but what he carried Jake could not
discern. Perhaps it might be some baskets
of refreshments. They were going off to
some house to have frolic. The chaise
moved on again, and Jake mounted his
horse and followed. They went up the road
till they came to the old meeting house;
they passed it little, and came against the
old burying ground. The chaise stopped
and Jake stopped. The chaise stood still
for the space Of about five minutes, and
there was not the least sound to be heard in
any direction. At last, from the little rattle
of the chaise wheel, he perceived the1 were
moving at moderate walk. They came
to the corner of the burying ground, and
turned q little out of the road and stopped
the chaise under the shadow of q large
spreading tree, where it could not be per-
ceived by any one passing in the road, even
should the clouds brush away and leave it

Washington sentinel., 1853-12-15

neA-The press of the country, north, south
east, and west have taken notice of the fact
that the Presidents message, by some most
reprehensible misconduct, was furnished to
some papers, and set up and distributed by
them before the reading of it was commenced
in Congress, whilst other papers, with stronger
claims, were entirely overlooked and sighted.
About this matter we have, thus far, said no
thing, when we, perhaps, had more cause of
complaint than any We had to buy It from the
nercsboys after it ,ras opened IN the House of
Representatives.. We do not mention it now in
a captious spirit. We allude to it because it is
matter in which much interest is felt.
We apprehend that none but those having
custody of the message could have had access
to it, and could have given preference to some
papers over others. The matter should be
inquired into. 1t should be traced to its
source. Who did it?
Washington sentinel., 1853-12-15
REPORT OF THE POSTMASTER
GENERAL.

We commence to-day the publication of the
report of the Postmaster General. 1t is long
and elaborate paper. 1t abounds in statistics
and details. No branch of the public service
admits of less display-whilst no department
Of the government, when properly managed,
can do more to promote the happiness and con-
tentment Of the people of the country than the
Post Office department The report Of the
head Of fthis department has necessarily to deal
with petty facts, with small contracts, with dull
and tedious details. We do Judge Campbell
but justice when we say that his report pre-
sents as full and as satisfactory statement Of
the business of his department, in all its multi
form connections, as it would be possible to
exhibit. He evinces a thorough acquaintance
with the onerous and perplexing duties Of his
Office, great industry, and marked ability. 1t
is almost impossible for us to epitomize his
report owing to the fact that in itself it exhib-
its as condensed and compressed statements
as can well be given.
Weinvite to it the attention of our readers.
