For whom angels did impatient wait,
With outstretch'd arms and wings of love,
To watt hLn to the realms above"
Keazs was much pleased with this snd begged

Singular Geological Fact,

At Modcna in Italy, within a circle
Of four miles around the city, whenever
the earth is dug, and the workmcn ar.
rive at the distance Of sixy,;hrcc feet,
they come to a bed Of chalk which they
bore with an auscr, five feet deep. They
then withdraw from the pit before the
augur is removed, and upon its relrac'
ton the water bursts up with gleal VIC.
Iencc, anl quickly fills tho well thus
made; the supply of water being ncith'
CT effected by rains or thoughts. At the
depth Of fourteen fee: are found the ru
ins Of an ancient city, houses, paved
streets and masonic work. Below this

ty six walnut trees are found entire
with leaves and walnuts upon them. A
twenty. eight feet soft chalk is lounl ant

Before he was.nnnod nj ihedtmocro''
ic convention ali had been diyislon; but
no sooner was he named than the con.
ven,on was unanimous. On the other
side the party that opposed him expired
in that Inst effort; and by the death of the
wings, America was left virtually wiIkoui
any party but that Of The nation, Which
is represented by franklin Pierce. II
opinion, on The subject Of the Mexican
war had bee ONE unanimous, il the np'
prehersion Of danger from extended ter
ritory hal died out, still the representa-
iiyes Of those old IDEAS had q kini ri
political surviyuI--,hey ore now gone,
and the Mexican soldier is the Presidcn,
Of the Republic, supported in his admin
istration by the Secretary Of war, who
made him General Of Brisalc, anl by
TWO of his companions in arms. Piece
therefore, more than any President since
the first, represents, not party, but the
republic.
What nccl hal man, thus selected
because he fitted the IDEAS Of those who
made him really their leader, to trim his
language for popular acceptance! Why
his were the very sentiments sought: and
If he had altered, he must lave dis p.
pointed. But ifit were polite 10 speak
with an cquivocal meaning, has Pierce S
history marked him out to be not man
Of his word! Emincnlly the reverse.
He attained TO the highest position in
his native state and in the Union; and
yet, as our readers are aware, he re.
tifcl into private LIFE, to repair Ii
own fortune. At the next period
Of need for hi. country, he took muskc ct
as private volunteer, in a regiment
bound for Mexico, and was appoin,rj
colonel, without his solicitation, by the
Secretary of State, on the simple knowl
edge of his character; and he who enter
ell the Mexican army as a private, re
ccivel the thanks oflhe Senate. Is sucl
a man greater in his prc'cnsions or wor'.
than in his actions?
No; but the career thus C, rricd to tn,
prime of life, and then reaching the hi.h
cs, post Of honor in the republic, inns
have sequel. The same man that tool
a mrs'ict and hcl ped to co"quer prov
ince for the Union, will scarcly turn
back in the career Of "cxpansion' whcl
he has the Union at his beck. If h.
uses words. he means them. lfhis word
are great, his actions vii outdo them.
And why is it that Englishmcn in tn
educated classcs are so anxious to rca,
with an "abatement!' Because, lon
> accustomed to action at home, or nca

the feelings Of man who enters upo
