IRISH CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CRYSTAL PALAcE.-The
Freemans Journal OF yesterday contains list of the
Irish contributions to the Crystal Palace. The list is
quite long, embracing hundred and eighty diff
ferent articles; few names yet remain TO be given 1t
is made out with great and intespersed with short
descriptions Of the more noticeable articles. many Of
which have we believe been previously exhibited the
Cork Exhibition. The number OF works Of art and
fancy is very great The peculiar manufactures of Ire
land well represented number OF collections of
mineral, weed. BIRDS &c., show the natural produc-
tons Of the country. Upon the whole, the catalogue is
calculated 10 produce favorable impression OF the pres
ent state of art and manufacturing industry in Ireland
There is something curious n the publication OF this
aogue at this time 1t is apparently Unauthorized by the
directors of the Crystal Palace Company and The ac-
companying editorial gives for lis present pub

TO the New York Crystal Palace, with description OF
the and residences of the contributors under the
sole direction Of Samsel Marshall. esq, experimenting
agent of the Irish department, who the manage
ment of the affairs OF the exhibitors"
The Freeman's Journal says that, while we cannot
help being struck with The variety and value OF the
tribuons, would not he proper omit mentioning that
their collection is the result of the efforts of single in.
dvidual whose abors limited to the winter months
aud to season of more than ordinary ncemency. II
also states that the various steamship companies of Cork
Waterford, Dublin, and Belfast promptly Mr. Mar

New York association who had previously agreed to
the various incidental charges freight, storage,
insurance, &C., OF all the parties who should desire
turn OF their goods at the close of the Exhibition The
Journal further states that special allotment OF space
has been made for concentration Of the Irish articles

THOUGHTS FOB A SICK ROOM.
BY MARY c. AMEs.


To Margaret.
My thought ocreaps the distance which divides
Us, my sweet sister Mid the twilight's gloom,
/ softly steal into that little room,
Dearer 10 me than any room besides,
Where we have spent so many eycntidos,
In mirth, and song, and cbIdhoods thoughtloss gee
Now, with slow and sober step glide,
And sit down, as in olden times, with thee
The room looks as it did in those glad days;
The dainty curtains, with their folds of snow,
Drape the low windows still and the red glow
Of summer twilight softly shines and plays
On the quaint pictures, which intently gaze
Into our faces, as in other years.
o! do they know us now, when joys bright rays
Which once shone in our eyes, quenched In tears
Yes, we are changed. Alas that should see
Thee looking thus, so sad and wan and weak,
The bright bloom wasted on thy fair, young cheek
Whene'er my longing thought hath flown to thee,
Thou seemed happy, as thou well oouldst be;
But now there's sorrow in thine eyes of jet,
Chose eyes which always poured their smiles me !
What wonder that my own with tears wet
Margaret, It's hard, in youths delightful morn,
When we have struggled with an eager heart
TO act a noble, brave, and generous part
In life, to feel the radiant hopes just born
Within our BREASTS from embraces torn;
When the soul rises for cxultant fight,
To fall back strickn with deadly blight, all worn,
To die-to sink unknown in the graves night
IT'S hard, yet never let our hearts despair
The end of life is not that ii may give
Us joy For far holier aim we live
For this tE.lil life, SO transient sad and fair,
Stamps the soul the image it will bear
Throughout eternity Here it is tried
In the fierce flames of oarths consuming cares
And woe. Thus it is purified.
Our souls must look beyond that which appears
To human sight. When sinks our dust to dust,
When all earth's joys are dead then let us trust
| In God. We dwell mid mystery. Unnumber'd feal
| Disturb our hearts; but there is One who hears
Our feeblest cry. o let us look above,
And smile cen in our sorrow and our tears
For we believe that God, OUR GoD, is love.
Dear sister have lov'd to dream bright dreams;
And life hath seemd TO glorious thing;
But have learned, yet hath waned its Spring,
That all the earth-bOrn joy which sheds its beams
| Upon our hearts, is like the transient CLEANS
Which smile so oft on Winters sullen sky.
There's only one unfailing Light whose streams
Can chocr our souls--that shineth from on high
tbs with hopeful heart / come tonight
To bless thee, Margaret sister of my soul
PerchsDce thou yet wilt gain thine earthly goal,
And lnger here, our treasure aud delight.
My human heart would stay thy upward fight
i want thee longer in our home to dwell;
But if thou soarest to the hills of light,
I'll say It's well-I kR0D THAI az is iosH,
KnowlesuiIie, ~ Y, 1853.
