ALBERT PIKE OF AHKASsAs.-The next
speaker was Albert Pike, of Arkansas. The
first appearance olth gentleman in the Con-
vcnton, produced an uniilvorablc impression
which his unquesionalle talents soon rcmoy-
ed. lie certainly is the most extensive look
ing human being ! have ever seen. His
hair long and bushy, with a beard unusually
broad and filming, and slightly erizzled,
gives him the appearance Of lion dressed
in broadcloth. lie dccoratcs his fingers with
multitudinous rings, Of the forms, if not the
dimensions, of old Roman shields. Yet, in
spite of this wonderful exhibition of hair and
.jcwelry, Albert soon convinced the conycn-
ton that he is one ofthc first men in the body.
He is in Arkansas regarded as Il sort of west
ern admirable Crichton,' for he is said to be
good lawyer, a good poet, a successful cdi-
tor, witty stump orator, a popular novelist,
a sound practical statesman, and respecta-
bic artist. Besides all this, he is renowned
as a Gordon Cummings among hunters, hay
ing slain many bear, buffalo and wild cat.
His speech Oh the Pacific railroad was a
plan for its construction evidently pleased the
Convention. He proposes that the Pacific
railroad shall be constructed by the Southern
States, without soliciting the aid of the gen
cral Cover, ment. This idea was perfectly
acceptable to the States Rights party, and
Pixies speech was loudly alplaudcd. Letter

Columbian says:
In Barnwcll, S. c., few days ago, a negro
man was struck by lightning. His scalp,
for the greater part, was tornup from behind
forwards; the fluid then passed down the sides
of the neck, reached the breast, which it lace
rated severely, and thence passed down each
of the lower cxtremities, tearing wide cash
all the way down. Yet strange to say, he
was not killed, but bids fair to recover. The
rain descended copiously Immediately after
the stroke, and to this the negro probably
owes his life.

The Head and the Heart.

BY JOHN O. SAKE.
The Head is stately, calm and wise,
And bears princely part;
And down below, in secret lies
The warm, impulsve Heart.
The lordly Head that sits above,
The Heart that beats below,
Their several Office plainly prove,
Their true relation show.
The Head erect, serene and cool,
Endowed with Reasons art,
Was set aloit to gditle and rule
The throbbing, hayward Heart.
And from the Head, as from the higher,
Comes all-drccting thought
And in the Hearts transforming fire,
All noble deeds arc wrought
Yet each is best when both unite
To make the man complete
What were the heat without the light
The light without the heat?
