A KEEN PoLIoEMAN.-The Albany journal
has long story of the adventures of police
man Of that city who had been employed to
ferret out gang of villains in Chester, Mass.
The men composing this band had made them
selves terror to the country by their secret
acts Of violence and outrage against whoever
happened to fall under their displeasure. They
had blown up church, fred buildings, sheared
and painted horses, and committed numerous
other offences of q similar character. Under
these irritating and perplexing circumstances
the citizens Of the place applied to the chief of
police of Albany, New York, who dispatched a
couple Of shrewd policemen, named Chamberlain
and Vosburg. to their relief. The former in
troduced himself into the band, assisted the
rascals in some of their depredations, placed
himself in possession of their secrets, and finally
denounced them and had eight Of their number
arrested and held to answer the numerous
charges pending against them.

SINGULAR HALLUcINATIoN. - The GAINESVILLE
Courier says the other morning q young girl
some twelve or fourteen years of age, residing
in the family of one of the editors of that paper
arose from her bed and remarked to another
girl, who slept in the same room with her, that
she thought some thing must be wrong at home,
as she dreamed she saw her little brother and
he looked as if he was dead and since she was
up she still saw his face which ever way she
looked, still looking as if dead. She dressed
herself and went down stairs to pursue her
work; but in less than fifteen minutes after
wards word was brought her that her brother
had died that morning. Strange, wasn't it,

and spead with irresistible fury over space
equal to about eight blocks, consuming not less
than two or three hundred buildings, and de-
stroying property amounting to not less than
one million of dollars. Owing to the dry state
of every thing, it was impossible to check the
fury of the flames. Fortunately no fatal acct

HE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.-Letters from
Havana, notice the arrival Of slavers, from the
coast of Africa, with cargoes, within the last
few months 1t is added that these vessels
"cleared from the port of New York" pro-
fessedly upon honest voyages to the coast of
Africa The Neo York Times says:
"We have repeatedly called public attention
to the fact, that the slave trade is now, and
has long been actively carried on 5et,ceen this
city and the coast ofAfricG-that New York
merchants are constantly sending vessels to
Africa to bring cargoes of slaves to Cuba; and
that this infamous traffic, made piracy by
special treaties as well as by the laws Of the
United States, is constantly carried on
fiom this port and from Baltimore, with q
degree of openness aud recklessness which
makes the government officers acconaplices for
not taking steps to break it up. The imbecil-
ity of the federal officials on this subject is
absolutely incredible. Vessels are fitted up
almost every week, ostensibly for Cuban ports,
or for legitimate trade on the coast of Africa
which almost any trader to that coast will not
have moments hesitation in identifying as
destined for the slave trade. Yet not one of
them is ever interrupted. Not one has the
slightest difficulty in securing regular Amer
lean papers, and although every man OF any
Judgment Eere knows perfectly well the err
rand on which they have been despatched,
until their slaves are landed at some Cuban
port and the Cuban authorities detect the
traffic, not word is ever heard about it here.
There are merchants in our streets to-day, who
are making their tens and hundreds of thou
sands yearly, by traffic condemned alike by
our laws and the public sentiment of the civ
ilized world. And yet nothing is done by the
officers of Government to enforce the law or
vindicate the honor and dignity of the coun-
try"
1t is very idle to suppose our government
officials will be disposed to interfere with
these slave traders, while the oath to slavery
and slavery propagandisin is the beginning,
midst, and end" of qualification for federal
offices. 1t is senseless to suppose that while
the slave power controls the government, it
can not secure impunity for these slave traders.
Slave-trading pirates have been arrested, from
time to time, but they always escape the
penalty of the law.

ANALYSIS OF SoILs.-Mr. S. w. johnson,
who is now engaged in chemical investigations
under i,lebig at Munich, has an able and eab-
crate article on this subject in the Country
Gentleman, IN which he sums up as follows:
| do not doubt that IN very many cases a
careful iaut stigGtioa of soil--chemical, phys
ical and historical-by genuine and scieuti-
tic farmer-one, familiar at once with science
and practse-would afford safe and nearly ac-
curate data for its proper treatment. But this
would be always expensive, and in nine cases
out Of ten, would not pay. Soil analysis, at
the best, IS q chance game; aud eohere one
tcias, a hundred may lose. 1t is the royal
road to what the farmer should reach by study,
and profound understanding of natural laws.
BY this is meant that it is no practicable road,
not one which should be often trod BY the
man of moderate means; although it may be
entered upon by the wealthy and curious, who
have need to work in order to eat. A soil
analysis is always interesting, often valuable,
rarely economical. 1t may amuse the anna.
teur, and instruct the philosopher, but for the
farmer its value is small, if he has to pay for
it. 1t is only by the application of the gener-
al principles which may be developed from nu-
merous analyses, that he can hope to be d.
rectly benefited.
grope in the dark No! But let him be-
ware of false lights which are nowadays
hanging out i'll abundance. Let him beware
of taking advice from two dangerous charac-
tiers the conceited farmer who knows q lit
tie science, and the officious philosopher who
knows little farming.
1t is far more difficult to warn against
course that is unsafe, than to point out one
that will lead to desirable ends. Practice must
accomplish many of her ends in her own ways
for long time to come. She should thank
science for rebuking her errors, and .hould
reject them as they become manifest. She
should accept the light that Science sheds upon
her path, though the rays be those of ia er.
Science should carry herself modestly, as be-
fits her youth, and not talk too loudly on all
occasions Of old-fogyism VS.. progress. She
should remember her iailings. The sister of
60 centuries, and she of teHder years, should
join hands, and walk tremendously together
towards the fields of promise that lie in the
fruitful coming time.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1854.
Evening at Lake winnepi.iosee.
ny John c WHITTIER.

Yon mountains side Is black with night,
While, broad orb'd, DER its cleaning crowa,
The moon, slOw-roundiug into sight,
On the hushed inland ses looks down.
How start to light the clustering isles,
Each silver henined How sharply show
The shadows Of their rocky piles,
And tree tops In the wave below
How far and strange the mountains seem,
Dimooming through the pale still light
The vague vast grouping Of a dream,
They stretch into the solemn night.
Bsneath, lake, wood, and pcopled vale
flushed by that presence grand and grave
Are silent, save the crcketis wall,
And low response Of leaf and wave.
Fair scenes whereto the Day and Night
Make rival love, leave W soon,
What time before the easternlight
The pale ghost Of the s-tting moon.
Shall hide behind yon rocky spires,
And the young archer, Morn, shall break
His arrows on the mountain pines,
And, golden-sandaled, walk The lake
Farewell! Around this smiling bay
Gly-hearted health, anu Lie iii bloom,
With lighter st ps than mine may stray
In radiant summers YET to Come
But none shall more regretflI leave
These waters and thes. bills than I;
Or, distant ionder dream how eve
Or dawn is painting wave aud SKY.
How rising moons shine sad and mild
On wooden isle and silYering bayi
Or setting suns beyond the piled
And purple mountains lead the day;
Nor laughing girl, nor boarding boy
Nor ul pulsed manhood lingering here,
Shall adj e. lifs's aboulding 10y,
The charmed repose to suhering dear.
Still waits kind Nature to impart
Her choicest gifts to such as gain
An entrance to her loving heari,
Through The sharp discipline OF palm
Forever from the Hand that takes
One bl, ssing from US, others m;
And, soon or late, our father makes
His perfect recompense to all!
Oh, watched by silence and the night,
And folded in the strong embrace
OF the great mountains, with the light
or the sweet heavens upon thy facet
Lake of the Northland! keep thy dover
OF beauty still, and while above
Thy solemn mountains speak Of power,
Be thou the mirror of Gods love.
