Afflicted, and deserted Of my mind

When men are furthest, then Thou art most near
When friends pass by-my weakness shun-

Thy glorious face

Shines upon my lonely dwellingplace,
And there is no more night
On my bended knee

My vision Thou hast dmmed that may see

Wrapt in the radiance of thy sinless land,

Shapes of resplendent beauty round me throng-
From angel lips seem to hear the flow
OF soft and holy song.
1t is nothing now,
When Heaven is opening on my sightlcss eyes,
When airs from Paradise refresh my brow,
The earth in darkness lies.
In purer cline
My being fills with rapture-waves of thought
Roll in upon my spirit-strains sublime
Break over me unsought
Give me now my Tyre!

Within my bosom glows uncarthly fire
Lit by no skill Of mine.

The GROWTH OF EXTRAvAGANCE.-Eve
newspaper should write once week, and every
minister should preach once a month, upon the
growth of extravaganza, the enervating influence
of luxury, and the incongruity of ostentatious
display with the spirit of republican institutions.
The extravaganza and luxury which commences
with the parrenuS of the great cities extend thro-
out the country, and take in all classes; those
who are least able to bear it being most easily
led into it.
The theory that the extravagant expenditure
of the rich is an advantage to the poor, is all non-
sense. Whatever turns the product of human
industry to waste is injurious; there is so much
gone, so much that might have contributed to
human happiness, thrown away. If all the in
dustry that is expended in the production of ar
ticles of ostentation, and of useless or hurtful
luxury were turned to the production of articles
of real value, what difference there would be
in the face of the world. We do not include in
the terms ostentation and extravaganza, produc-
tions Of real art, because they are refining and
elevatng, and supply a want of cultivated socie-
ty, as well as articles of coarser utility Every
one is more or less familiar with the statistics of
sprituous liquors and tobacco; extend the same
calculations to articles of less hurtful, but still
injurious extravaganza, and what an incredible
total would be presented.
But the waste of industry, the destruction of
the property, great this is, is but the lightest
of the evils which habits of luxury bring upon a
people The decay of great cities, the fall of ma
tions, have been clearly traced to the inroads OF
luxury, and to the enervating influences which
follow. Thus, the nations inhabiting the most
delightful portions of Europe have yielded to
the approaches Of luxury, and have been driven
out by the rude hordes of the North, inferior to
them in everything but in the natural strength
Of manhood. Thus, great cities cannot raise
their own merchants, and the places of the men
who acquired wealth and honor in crowded com.
munties, are filled by boys from the country
inferior in education, and in what are termed ad
vantages, to the enervated sons Of the CITY,
The rude discipline of poverty and early strug
giles gives a strength that bears down all the
competition of those who are crndled in luxury

Six Days TO EURoPE.-The N. Y. Tribune
supplies the following notice of the steamer con-
structing in that city,, to make the voyage to Eu-
rope in six days:
The steamer William Norris, which is to make
the passage to Europe in FIVE or six days, is rap
idly approaching completion. Her outside ia
nearly finished, and she will probably be anoat
in a fortnight. This vessel is simpy fiat and
sharp, with good model for running fast in
smooth water. She is made unusually strong
by having her timbers strapped diagonally with
bars of iron, and by an iron kelson extending
from the keel TO the deck, excepting in the GEN.
tral part of the vessel devoted to the engine
This kelson is composed of two parallel sheets
of iron, near half an inch in thickness, less than
foot apart, and so fashioned and connected as
to form a water tank. On either side of this
kelson, are bilge kelsons, formed in the same
manner, also connecting with the deck. 1t is
expected that these unusual supports will give
such an amount of strength and solidity to the
steamer as to make her excel all other vessels of
similar dimensions.

PAINFUL BUT LAUGHABLE.-In "Notes of an
Army Surgeon" we find the following:
remember, one day, in making my hospital
rounds, patient just arrived presented an am.
putated forearm, and doing so could scarcely re-
strain q broad laugh; the litter was constantly
on his face.
"What is the matter? This does not strike
me as subject of laughter"
sit is not doctor, but excuse me, ! lost my arm
in so funny way that still laugh when look
at it,"
"What way!"
"Our first sergent wanted shaving, and got
me to attend to it, as am corporal. We went
together in front of his tent: Ihad lathered him.
took him by the nose, and was just about apply
ing the razor, when acannon ball came, and that
was the last saw of his head and my arm. Ex-
cuse me, doctor, for laughing SO, but never
saw such thing before"
This occurred during the siege of Fort Erie.

PAUSE BEFORE YOU FOLLOW ExAMpLE.--A
mule laden with salt, and an ass laden with
wool, went over brook together BY chance
the mules pack became wetted; the salt melt
ed, and his burden became lighter. After they
had passed, the mule told his good fortune to
the ass, who thinking to speed as well, wetted
his pack at the next water, but his load became
the heavier and he broke down under it.
