The ERICssoN.-The Washington cores
pondent Of the ~. Y. Express gives the fol.
lowing as the general opinion at Washington
in regard 10 the new caloric ship:
The impression Of intelligent practical
men, who have visited the caIoric steamer
here, is rather adverse to her speed, and, OF
course, TO her usefulness, when speed is re-
quired. Ii is alleged, that if this steamer was
loaded down with coal aud an armament,
she would scarcely move at all, but it is re-
piled that h:r machinery, engine, and heater
are not adequate for such sized steamer
The experiment Of motion is of course sue
cessful but how much, and if therefore QUdiI-
able, is moi deemed settled

Nothing packs society together so well
as for some one to be hollow, just where
some one else buIges. Be receptive
therefore, to the man Of science, enjoy the
joker without struggle for supremacy,
and play conductor for the electricity of
the wit; then, if there is anything in the
fellows, you'll get it out Of them, and con-
tribute best to the enjoyment Of the COM
pany; and, besides, if there is nothing
IN you, (Which is barely possible, but still
possible,) you won't expose yourself and
annoy other peope.-[Dr. Elder.

Power OF MUsIc-A clergyman, saws
Mrs. Sigourney, possessing much knOwl-
edge Of human nature, instructed his daugh-
tiers in all The theory aud practice Of music.
They were all observed TO be exceedingly
amiable and happy. A friend inquired if
there was any secret in his mode of educa-
lion. He replied, when anything disturbs
their temper, ! say to them, sing and #
hear them speaking against any person, !
call them to sing to me; and so they have
sung away all causes Of discontenIment, and
every disposition TO scOndal.' Such use Of
this accomplishment might serve to fit fam
lily for the company Of angels. Young voices
around the domestic ALTAR, breathing sacred
music, AT the hour Of morning and evening
devotion, are sweet and touching accom-
paniment.

Angels Whisper.


Angels whisper will they never
Cease to tell of golden realms;
Isles of beauty shining ever
In the mystic sea of dreams
Lands of flowers, gems of spices,
And an atmosphere of love,
Where the dark-eyed girls entice us
In the fairy fields to rove.
Angel whispers, softly bringing
From beyond the starlit skies,
Echoes of the sweet songs ringing
Through the wales of paradise;
Visions of bright fountains gushing
Nectar, washing golden sands,
And the red wine rivers gushing
BY the pearl and amber strands.
Loving spirits sent unto US,
Clothed in silent robes of light,
And with seraph force to WOO US
To the regions of delight;
Voices of exquisite sweetness,
would clasp your viewless forms,
But your wings of fairy feetness
Still elude my outstretched arms.
Angel whispers gently stealing
Where the hush of death surrounds,
With their holy balm Of healing
For the bruised spirits wounds:
Breathing a delightful story
Of bright immortality,
And a land of love and glory,
Far beyond life's troubled sea.
