That Cottage Home.
TUNE-"Oh! California"

dreamt dream the other night,
When all around was STILL
| thought saw my cottage white,
Upon yon flow'ry hill;
The grass plat green, before the door,
The porch with vines o'ergrown,
Were lovely as they were before,
When that cottage was my own.
Oh, RUNS seller, that home, that home OF Thu
That pleasant home, that happy home,
That cottage home was mine.
The gravel walk so white and straight.
With flower banks on each side,
That led down TO the wicket gate,
Where Willy used to ride.
The locusts DER the path that grew,
The willow boughs that swayed,
Ali told me with tale most true,
That there my Mary played.
OH Rum seller, &c.
The silver lake so calm and clear.
Along whose bank Pve Strayed
So often with ny Lucy dear,
To watch the sunlight fade.
The pearly streams that swsetly run,
The gardens foot along.
And murmurng iouni as bright as then,
All sang the moIrnful song.
On. RufN- Scllcly0
The window towards the garden gate,
That looked out to the west,
Where that loved being used to wait
Who made my home so blest,
Was closed-the sombre curtains hung,
And no loved face was there;
Nor voice the evening song that sung,
Or breathed the morning prayer.
OH Rum seller. &c
Silence long round the happy home,
Where once so light and free,
My laughing children used 10 come,
And dance upon my knee;
And she who was the homes delight,
In constant beauty shone,
Around the cheerful hearth stOne bright,
Now all was still and lone.
Oh, Rum seller, &c.
Yes, that loved wife has gone TO rest,
In death her heart is bound;
The babes are sleeping on her breast
Beneath yon grassy mound;
And am wandering lone and strange,
No master of my will
NV nome. my happy home is changed,
To hat behind the still.
Oh! Rumseller, &c.

w. J. BURNS. ESQ, Plymouth:-
DEAR SIR-Your paper of Dec 9Th
1853. is received. / am much obliged
to you for sending it, as it gives me the
chance Of setting you right in the matter,
The keg you mention has never been
in the hands Of the Am. Elk. Co.. which
ought to release them from all blame in
not delivering it TO you. | find from
looking al G. l.. Derby & Co.'s books that
it was forwarded to you by Rail Road
via Cincinnati
have never reed but one letter from
you in regard to the above. Some five
days since. called on Derby & Co.. as
per your request, and procured the key
and forwarded according to your letter
to South Bend. and answered your letter
by writing 10 our agents at S5uth Bend
to give you the facts in ...ae case. Hopins
this explanation will te satisfactory as
far as the Express Co. is concerned. and
p''c-aming you will Sc, the public right.
am truly yours.
S. P. THAYER. ag't.
American Express Co.
The above note from Mr.. Thayer fully
establishes the correctness of the esti-
mate we had placed upon the prom ptness
of the Derby house. They say tina. they
had just seen their expressmen on the
18th October. and were assured that the
ink, was forwarded as per direction, SC.
Mr.. Thayer says it was never in the COM
pany's possession.
We hope we have now placed the pub.
lie right. and it affords US much pleasure
to do SO; but how right it places Mr.. Der.
by. we leave to he same tribunal and his
own conceptions.
The Agen. at South Bend gave us no
explanation, as supposed by Mr.. Thayer,
and but very little satisfaction in any
way. When applied 10 at our request.
for the name of the Agent at Sandusky
City, he said he did mt knop! but that we
might find out by addressing the Express
office: This we had done before we trou-
bled the South Bend agent. but not know
ing how many Express Offices Of difleren
kinds there are at Sandusky. we became
fearful that our note had not reached its
intended destination with that address.
1t did, however and placed us under no
obligation to the agent at South Bend.

We often feel sorry for the man who
has not an enemy in the world" What
is he fit for? He must have mighty lit
tie character who has no enemies. He
is no body who has not pluck enough to
get an enemy. Give US rather, as our
ideal of virtue and manliness. one who
has many enemles-one who has made
them by downright sincerity. candor. and
fearless love Of the thing he sees TO be
right. The man Of earnest purposes,
strong will. and love Of principle. for it's
own sake. must have enemies. But this
so far from being to him ill, is 10 him
good. The strong tree is more deeply
rooted and fastened in the soil BY the

AduIteration Of Oil.--Dr. Nichols, of Haver-
hill, Mass, in communication TO the Boston
Journal" states that being employed by manu-
facturer of woollen goods TO examine chemically
some specimens of lard oil purchased for manu-
featuring purposes he ascertained that il was
largely adulterafed with rosis oil. One specimen
contained about twenty per cent. of the yosin,
which being one-fourth less in price, was GER
tainly great cheat. Rosin oils are not adapted
for woollen goods, consequently the adulteration
was positively injurious
sWhen lard or whale oil is adulterated with
rosin oil, and used for purposes Of lumination it
will result in throwing off large quantities Of UNI
consumed carbon, which, falling upon furniture
and upon walls OF dwellings, produce serious mis-
chief The presence of rosin oil in any OF the
fatty oils may be detected by the peculiar odor by
the dense black smoke arising from shred OF
wicking when ignited in capsule of the mixture,
and by its specific gravity
He also says that he was employed to examine
what is termed :" Marsh's Vegetable OIL" which is
used for illumination. This he found to contain
none of the characteristics Of oil
