A Touching Incident.

The Petersburg Democrat tell a story
of little boy of that city, who, having
recently lost his father, found himself de
barred shereby from attending school as
formerly. and in :he fullness of his faith,
he determined to seek the wherewithal,
at that footstool to which he had doubt
less been taught to look for other and
higher blessings. In the simplicity oil
his heat he sat down and gravely wrote
letter to his redeemer, thinking per.
haps, that so formal mode of prefering
his requests would meet with greater at.
tention. What was the surprise of the
postmaster, VIM. N. Friend, Esq, on
discovering among the contents of his
letter box. one morning lately, missive
directed to "Jesus Christi" Opening il,
he read the story of the boys wants, and
with a noble kindness which we are not
selfish enough to deprive Of the pleas.

the envelope the amount required aud

Speaker Of the next HOusc.

The approach of the Session of Con-
gress has caused The politicians TO en-.
gage in speculaticns as to the election OF
Speaker of the next House Of Represen-
tatives. The Wings will have very lit
tie to say in The mater, except it be to
choose the best man that may be offered
to them. IL caucus should be held,
even this privilege will not be accorded
to them. The dissentions in the Loco
70 party will not be so marked as to pre.
vent caucus at the beginning of the
Session whatever may take place after
wards, and we have no boubt that the
matter will be settled in caucus. Benton
will not go into this sslanghter- house. -
and thus nullifes all chances of his sue
cess. Those who are most prominent
now are Orr, of s. c., Disney and Olds
of Ohio, Phelps of Missouri, and Boyd,
of Ky, will try for an election. although
he stands very little chance of success
OF these gentleman, it is probable that
Mr.. Orr stands the best chance. He is
an old member, is familiar with the rules,
and. while he is courteous in his bearing,
he will be able to command more res pee
than was ever paid Mr.. Linn Boyd

The Chinese news is hears-rending-
the Empire, from wall to wall, is one
scene Of terror, as the following official
account of the last engagement will
show:-
At the last fight six tons of powder
were burned, two hundred gongs and
brass kettles badly beaten, very great
smoke created, resulting in very bad
smell; ninety.two pig-iails hopelessly
unravelled. four hundred and sixty Two
celestials awfully frightened. and nobody
hurt. A tremendous victory was claim

POETIC A l..
THE UNKNOWN WORLD.

There is world we have not seen,
And time can ne'er that world DESTROY
w here mortal foot steps hath not been,
No ear hath caught its sounds of Joy.
There is region lovlier far
Than sages know or poets sing;
Brighter than summer beauties are,
And softer than the tints Of spring.
There is world with blessings biest,
Beyond what prophets e'er foretolG,
Nor might the tongues of angel guest
A picture of that world unfold.
1t is all holy and serene
The land of glory and repose
No darkness dims the radient scene
Nor sorrows tear within il flows.
1t is not famed by summers gale,
TiS not refreshed by vernal showers,
1t never needs the moonbeams pale,
For there are known the evening hours
No, no! this world is ever light
With azure radiance all its own;
The streams of uncreated light
Flow round from the eternal throne.
There, forms that mortals may not see,
Too glorious for the eye to trace,
And clad in peerless majesty,
Move around with unaltered grace.
In vain the philosphic eve
May seek to view the fair abode,
Or find it in the curtained sky
1t is the dwelling place of God!
Des Moines courier. ([Ottumwa] Iowa) 1848-1854, 1853-11-24
