The EislnerHnau's Song

Away. DER the fcathery crest
OF the beautiful blue are We;
For our toll lot lies its boiling breast,
And our weaith's in the glorious sea;
And we've hvmn'd in the grasp of the fer
cest night,
To the god Of the sons Of toll
As we cleft the waves by its own white light
And away with its scaly spoil.
Then oh for the long and the strong oar
We have given, and will again:
For when childrcn's veal lies in the deep
OH their fathers mus be men,
And we'll think as the blast grows loud and
long,
That we hear our off~pring's cries
And we'll think, as the surge blows long and
strong,
OF the tears in their mothers eyes:
Aud well feel through the clutch Of the shlv'-
ring green,
For the warm. warm clasp at home
For the soothing smile OF each hearts own
queen,
And her arms, like the flying foam.
Then oh for the long and the strong oar
sweep
We have given, and will again
For when childrcn's veal lies in the deep
Oh their fathers must be men.
And if death, at times, through foamy cloud
On the brown browed boatman glarc$,
He can pay him his glance with sui as proud
AS the form of mortal bears:
And oh 'twere glorious, sure, to die,
In our tolls for some on shore,
With hopeful eye fixed calm on the sky,
And a hand on the broken oar.
Then oh for long, strong, steady sweep;
Hold to t--hurra-dash on:
If our babes must fast till we rob the deep,
It's time that we had began.

hutta mountains, was once the resi-
dcnce Of several Indian chiefs, each
located on a grassy knoll, or IN the
nook of a verdant hill, and there sur
rounded by their famlies and Their
tribes and innumerable tIocks, they
led a life ofpeace and happiness, until
the progressive la v of nature drove
them to a far Western home. by
the force of circumstances, these syl-
van farms became the property OF
Col. Fariss Carter; embracing in the
whole many thousand acres, now IN
a high state of cultivation, pasturage,
meadows and grain lands, and sur
rounded by an amphitheatre of hills
that rise in grandeur in the vision.
Here he has removed from the low
country his numerous families OF ne
grocs, and, divided into clans, each
occupy the identical farms that were
once cultivated by the red chiefs and
their subjects, and under similar
government. They labor mainly for
their own support, subjec; to the di-
rection Of each respective chief, hap
py in their vocation and devoid OF
care. But over all there is a pater-
nal ruler, who guides the machinery
of government, supplies them with
daily food, tends to their bodily sui
fering from disease, and provides for
the wants of old age, theHeeserit and

Eminent surgeons were present. An
inquest was held on the body at

Chronicle, Mr.. John Wright Baker,

of a malignant tumor on the right
thigh, to remove which an operation
was performed, as it was looked upon
as a cancerous tumor, though en-
veloped in much doubt, as those
tumors often are. He was in a bad
state of health when admitted, and
everything was done to improve his
health previous to the operation. A
consultation, as | understand, had

When the lamp is shattered,
The light in the dust lies dead
When the cloud is scattered.
The rainbow's glory is shed.
When the lutte is broken,
Sweet tones are remembered not
When the lips have spoken.
Loved accents are soon forgot.
As music aud splendnr
Survive not the lamp and the Lutte,
The hearts echoes render
No song when the spirit is mute -
No song but sad dirgcs,
Like the wind through ruin d cell,
Or the mouruful surges,
That ring the dead scaman's kneli.
When hearts have once mingled,
Love first leaves the well-bullt nest;
The weak one is singled

A picture OF ghacLcray.

The limner,who draws pictures for
the Richmond EIantincr, has painted
the following picture of TuAcNERAY:
He is about as tall as General
Scott, with a fair round waist, long
ugly legs, arms too short and hands
too small for his size. Ills gestures
and attitudes are awkward and slow.
His hair is grey, he wears spcctacles,
and when first looked at, one might
think him verging on sixty, though
more deliberate examination would
place him ten years nearer the cradle.
The head and face are large, and the
bust would be great, but for the most
unfortunate little nose that ever was
surrounded by massive features and
set over an iron jaw. 1t is almost
incredible that nature has stuck such
Nasal organ on such c0unte-
nance. His forehead is not very
large or remarkable, but the back
head is powerfully developed. On
the whole, however, the impression
made by the external man would not
be pleasant, but for the dignity, So
briefly and independent manliness Of
his carriage and presence. These
are very remarkablc-vcrging, per-
haps, on hauteur-but not tinged with
the slightest shade of impcrtinence or
ailtctation.
lie read his lecture in a deep but
not strong or clear voice, which did
not vary enough for the shades of
his ideas at first, but which became
more expressive though not less quiet
and composed as he proceeded. its
cadence frequently had a melancholy
tone, and it never expressed gaicty,
either good or ill-humored. Both in
contempt and admiration II was
equally serious and grave. Indeed,
Mr.. Thackeray inperson, is the least
like a "lunny man" of any person
that we ever saw. He looks and
speaks like one who has been rather
disappointed than pleased with his
past life, and who has no cxtravagant
hopes for the future, but who is too
much Of a man to become either
maudlin and sentimental, or careless
and indifferent.

both wild and picturesque, fell under

moral which should strike deep into
the vcnomed hearts Of all Abolition

A. ID. Nineteen Hundred.

A curious thing are these dreams.
They have been so from time imme-
mortal; and from time immemorial
the interpreter of dreams has had
his believers, who with faith I'M
shaken, credited his doctrine that in
the visions of slumber the eventful
future was foreshadowed. Reason
it down as the philosopher may; call
it superstition, phantasy, toolery,
what you will-still the impression of
a vivid, startling dream rests upon
the memory, painfully at times, Of
the most incredulous and has in0uen-
ced the actions of the sternest men.
Arising from our fears, hopes or an
ticipations, they often exhibit or elicit
IA train of profound reasoning -
Whether such has been the case in
the wandering ofour fancy, when we
yesterday fell asleep in our chair,
after the effects of "a night prev GUS
we leave to the good time coming to
determine.
We thought we had advanced
half century, and lived after the
advent OF nineteen hundred. Steam,
which in our younger days had
made laundering noise in the world
was no longer used; and as we look
el at the ocean, not single sail was
visible Tremendous vessels plough
ed the great deep; and a machine,
bearing IL faint resemblance to Our
old iron horse, whirlcd by Us with
wonderful velocity. But they where
attended with scarcely any noisc.-
We asked in astonishment the reason
of this, and were told by shrewd
looking man that the discoveries and
inventions of Oliver Evans, James
Watt and Robert Fulton did not suit
this fast age-that the atmospheric
motor was in high favor, and that
one Captain Ericsson was supposed
to have some mechanical genius
But continued he, the Captain 5
invention will not answer long: a
substitute must be found; the daily
consumption of ten bushels of coal
in propelling ship of three thousand
tons burden is a piece of extrava-
gance which the economists of the
day are unwilling to encourage.
We stepped into large store, and
saw man working with a piece of
wire. He said that he had just re,
ceived, by hisprivate telegraph, news
from Pekin to the effect that the tea
market was dull, and thcreupon was
ordering a large quantity for home
consumption. In seventeen minute:

A correspondent of the PhiIadel-
phia Bulletin, dating at Orleans, Pot
ter county, Pa, gives the following
gratifying account of the colony, re-
Gently established in that country by
the lion viollnst:
"Where bat a few short months a
go, there was nothing but a vast I'M
unbroken wilderness, we already see
the sure indications of a thriving and
populous settlement. Large tracts
of land have already been cleared
new roads have been opened-a
number Of humble but comfortable
dwellings, have been erected, and his
people are busily engaged in the e.
rection Of saw and grist mills.
School houses and churches are also
in progress of erection, and in little
while we shall hear the voice of praise
and Thanksgiving where, less than a
year ago, the deep silence of the for
est was broken only by the bowling
Of the panther, or the sharp crack of
the hunters rifle. Probably no sec
ton of the United States has been
settled with as much rapidly as the
spot from which ! am now writing
this letter. The Norwegians have
proved themselves hardy, Industrious
and cnterprising. They appear to
be not only satisfied but delighted in
their new home, where they see a re-
semblance to their own country with
the advantage of a better soil and eli
nate. They expect to be joined by
many of their countrymen during the
coming spring.
The tract purchased by Ole Bull is
about 40 600 acres, and he has GER
tainly shown great Judgment and sa-
gacity in its selection; One portion
is admirably fitted for cultivation, an
other equally adapted for grazing
it has an abundance oftimber, beach
maple, cherry, hemlock, pine, &c, &
valuable deposits ofcoal and iron ore
tits divided into small farms, and i:
sold to settlers at a very low price il
alternate sections. There are many
deer and bears in the vicinity. anC
our Norwegian friends have already
become adopts in taking them.

DREADFUL WARNMG.--About two
ago. we wer, introduced in this city,
to a young gentleman named Bart
lett, engaged in the cXtensiveimport-
ing and jotbing house of Clapp, Kent

was young man Of pleasing add

those with whomAe become acquaint-
ed: but llas, those qualities good
ness of beart--unsuspccting DISPOSE
tion--kindness amiability--and at
tachment to his fellows, as is too of
ten the result, led to dissipation-un
usual with him at home, with his
mind occupied in his business, and
three or four days prior to his depart
ure for his homn, with companions
like himself, he gave himself up to
the mind destroying cup. On last
Tuesday, we babe him good bye,
saying he must "@ct straight be-
fore arriving hone, as it would al
most break his father heart to know
how he had bcenacting. Yesterday
we heard of him; he had reached Ell
mira, still continuing to drink deep
when he was attacked with mania po-
tn, and during its paroXysms, cut his
throat, killing himself instantly
What a lesson to all young men, par
ticularly those with whom he was
specially associated, during his spree
