An important trial Of a civil suit for damages
laid at $4,000 and 81 1000, against the owners
Of the steamer Henry Clay, which was de-
stroyed BY fire on the 2sth July, 1852, when
near Youkers, on her trip from Albany to New
York, has been on trial in Goshen. The pro-
ceedings were commenced about eighteen
months ago in the Supreme Court of Orange
comfy, in the name of the executors of J.

aster The $4,000 for the loss of valuable
baggage belonging to deceased, his wife and
others of the family. 1t was ascertained that
the prosecution could not establish their case
fully. so far as regarded the cause of death,
and therefore, that portion of the prosecution
was dropped. The case turned upon the bill
Of damages for loss Of property. The jury
returned verdict against the Company for
the full amount claimed.

From Household Words.
NOW.


Arise for the day is passing,
While you lie dreaming ON;
Your brothers are cased in armor,
And forth to the fight are gone;
Your place in the ranks awaits you;
Each man has a part to play;
The past and future are nothing
In the face of stern to-day.
Arise from your dreams of the future
OF gaining hard fought field;
OF storming the airy fortress;
OF bidding the giant yield;
Your future has deeds of glory,
OF honor (God grant it may)!
But your arm will never be stronger,
Or needed as now-to-day.
Arise If the past detain you,
Her sunshine and storms forget;
No chains so unworthy to hold you
As those of vain regret;
Sad or bright, she is lifcless ever;
Cast her phantom arms away,
Nor look back, save to learn the lesson
OF anobler strife to-day.
Arise for the hour is passing;
The sound that you dimly hear,
Isyour enemy marching to battle,
Rise! rise for the foe is here!
Stay not to brighten your weapons
Or the hour will strike at last
And from dreams Of coming battle,
You will waken, and find it past.
