POETRY.
NIGHT.
sY JAMES MONTGOMERY.

NIGHT Is tho time for rest: How sweet when labOrs close,
 To gather round an aching breast :, The curtain of ofrepose, s.. ..+ Stretch the tired limbs, and lay the head Down on our own delightful bed. Night is the time for dreams; >l The gay romance of life,
 When truth that is and truth that seems Mix in fantastic strife 3 r- An! visions less beguiling far a.5, Than waking dreams by daylight-are Night is the time for t0il; .at To plough the classic field,
 Intent to find the bur,ed spoil
 In wealthy furrows yielu;
 Till all is ours that sages taught, That poets sang, and heroes wrought. Night is the time to weep
 To wet with unseen tears, Those graves of memory. where sleep The joys of other earS-
 Hopes. that were angels at iheirbirth, Bat died when young like things of earth. Night is the time to watcll- Ger ocean's dark eXpanse,
 To hali the Pleiades, or catch The full moons earliest glance, That brings into the homesick mind All we have loved and left behind. Night is the time for care
 Breeding on hours mispent, .e To see the spectre of Despair .. ... Come to our lonely tent ... Like Brutus, midst his slumbering host, Summon'd to die by C@sar's ghost. Night is the time to think
 When, from the eye, the soul Takes flight. and on the utmost brink Of yonder starry pole, .-.......... ... Disceins beyond the a byss of night The dawn of uncreated light. ..." Night is the time to pray Our Saviour oft withdrew
 To desert mountains far away: So will his followers do,
 Steal from his throng to haunts untrod, And commune there alone with Con. Night is the time for death-
 When all around is peace,
 Calmly to yield the weary breath, From sin and suffering cease,
 Think of heaven's bliss. and give the sigr ToParIing friends such death be mine

LITcHFIELD, (coNN,5 THURSDAY MARCH 24 1858. .. "

{ they returned 10 us with tba welcome news that there was station short dis tance ahead where provisions could bs obtained At lhls station Ws purchased 10 lbs. of -four for $l5, and some other arli. cles on about as reasonable terms. This was close under the side of the lower range of the great Siera Nevsda, which was covered with pine timber of enormous size. On the east "f this ran ge is na. turaI meadow, on which grass grows ID great abundance. Teis valley is perhaps IS miles wide and 40 miles long, and mighu be cultivated to advantage, and gold is dug out of the ground along the base of the mountains. gp,4 s7 o
 Our ascent up the mountain was thro gorge. down through which rushed a river of pure snow water, which we had to cross on bridges made of small poles, in order to avoid the impossible sldes of the river. Here, on the banks of this roaring cataract, in the dense forest, with walls of rock shooting up perpendicular close around us to the night of 500 feet. we kin> dled fire against an old log, and passed the night in as gloomy solitude as can well be imagined. After traverslng our to ilsome way up this gorge for several miles, we found some fellows who had stationed themselves by pole bridge to sell grog and take toll. enquired how far it was to the top of the mou ntaia. and was told that we had not yet come to the mountain. After toilsome ascent of six miles we reached the top of the pedestal, on which stands the grand Siera Nevada, "whose aspiring top,
 With snows on snows, ascend the skies,
 And. as the everlasting props @ &t Of Heavens high mansion. proudly riss."
 Here, on this lower summit, were large quantities of snow, which were yielding somewhat to the warmer breezes. which, ut midday. ascended up from the regions below. After passing a n,arshy place, over snow, ice and mud, we descend lit. tie into valley, when, after wading thro' u river of snow water, three feet deep, we came to good camping place. where some starving emigran,s had just killed an OK which they had captured from drove. then in the vicinity, taken what they wanted. and gone ahead, having previously posted bills of invitation to any that might want beef to help themselves, which we were not slow to do.

Display and Luxury.

We have very little sympathy with
 that cynical philosophy which snarls aG every expenditure for the beautiful. and every display of taste. We rank the Fine
 Arts among the useful arts, aad we look upon refined ta-te as auxiliary to pure morality, and arc therefore quite willing to devote portionefo Tour means. and to see Societies and Siates use a share of their income to objects which we can neither eat. nor drink. nor wear. buI which merely grati[y the love of beauty and grace. But it by no means follows. that the extruvagance and love of show
 which characterize our day, are any thing better than vulgar ostentat ion, of which, as a cotemporary remarks there may De b great deal.X and ths amount of money paid for. it may excite amazement, but 1t is no sign of growth in refinement. The furniture, and decorations of some .man- sions' merely tell the visitor how much the owner is worth.-and that might moro easily be done by .plaeard or adver. 'tisement. The number of square feet of gold leaf or square yards of crimson dams ask and velvet--the size of the mirrors. and the quantity of plate arc no sure in. dications of superior' sense or intellectual advancement-for they may be-, after all. only chaos of splendid rubbish, the glar. ing parade of a coarsesfninded ambition. aud a pride of purse. si'fF s,i5 f'faists''3
