The splendor falls ON castle walls
And snowy SUBMITS, old in story:
The long light shakes across the lakes,
And the wild cataract leaps in glory.
Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying:
Blow, bugle; answer, echoes, dying, dying,
dying.
o bark hear! how thin and clear,
And thinner, clearer, farther going
sweet. and far from cliff and scar,
The horns of Elfand family blowingi
Blow, let US hear the purple glens replying
Blow, bnsle; answer. echoes. dying. dying,

They faint on hill. or field or river;
Our echoes roll from soul 20 soul,
And grow forever and forever
Blow, bugle blow, set the wide echoes flying,
And answer, echoes, answer, dying, dying

Sonnet 30 n Lady Weeping.
BY JOHN C. SAKE.

Nay, do not weep!-e'en from my boyhood's
years
| always loved pretty woman's eye,
But like my toast, much prefer 1t dry,
And not like concert benches, all in tears
A handsome woman don't look very bad
(Unless she yawns) when she is calmly
sleeping;
But, ye gods to a lady weeping
Is quite enonsh to drive d lover mad
Signs are delcious and | love them best
When-breathed beneath the trysting tree to
prove
The sacred fervor of a youthful love-
They gently lave gentle maidens breast
But when, with streaming tears, woman cries,
leel like saying-"Dearest dam your eyes,"

went floating down the stream, aud a contest of
words Immediately arose to the real cause of
the parting of the rope. The wife said it must
have been cut with scissors, but the husband.

a knife that did the business Scissors -
said the wife. Knife p said the husband
Scissors! Knife Scissors Knifel' said both,
but at last the husband losing his temper cried

out to the last.
Away went the old woman into the water,
and as she came up the first time, she beloved,
" Scissors" at the top of her voice. The old
man pushed her down again.
Scissors" sputtered she, in fainter tones, as
she rose again, but the old fellow had her by
the head and plump she went down for the
third time. Now she rose more slowly and as
her water-logged form neared the snrtace, hav-

WM CHAMBERs's VIEW OF THE UNITED STATES.
The venerable Edinburgh publisher and au-
thor, William Chambers. Esq, who has recently
made brief tour in tie Northern and Eastern
States has, the eve of his return to Europe,
published letter in which he says:
leave the United States with much regret
carry with me the conviction that great and
splendid future is before them. Contrary to the
opinion of mos, travellers from Europe, see here
a young, but rapidly growing nation, offering
example to the oldest communities in Europe.
1t is far from my wish to atter; but what do
not feel vast delight in seeing! l am overcome
with the stupendous proportions and vast capa-
city of the country-its far-stre tching fields fer
human subsistence and happiness.
OF the American people, so little understood,
and often misrepresented l candidly own that
their remarkable love of order, their energy and
perseverance, their love of independence, their
self-respect, of even the humblest classes among
them, their striking sobrety, their admirable
educational systems, their many excellent libra
ries end universal fondness for reading; their
press, free from fiscal exaction their fourshing
religious institutions, untampered by civil poll
ty; their economically and spiritedy got up rail
ways, pushed half way to the Pacific; the
neatness of their dwellings their wonderful
and to an Euglishmen, alarming progress in the
mechanical arts; the marvellous growth of their
cities and will add, their civiliiy to >trangers
i say all this gives me unqualified pleasure.
And when contrast their Cities free from pau
perlsm and vice, IN its most loathsome FORMS
with what meets the eye in London, Edinburgh
Glasgow, and other large cities in Britain, feel
that travellers from the old country have really
little reason to speak disdainfully of America, or
to exaggerate faults which, at most, are only
partial and of no sort of account.
Such being my impressions, it will be my duty
to represent in my own poor way, at home,
things as they deserve to be spoken Of Nor shall
by an emigration of the laborlng classes gene
rally to this counry,-heeng, as they will do
from perishing and unimprovable condition TO
state of comfort and boundless prospects of
wel-dong.

Pre.Emutors ON Mexican Grants.

Col Gift, Register of the U. s. Land Office for
the Northern District OF California, has given
notice to settlers on any Mexican or other
grants, which may hereafter be declared by the
Supreme Court of the United States to be in
valid, that they will be entitled to pre-emption
thereon. This is the construction given by the
Commissioner of the General Land Office to the
law OF Sd March, 1853, under which The Land
Commission for California was organized. The
decision of construction (Which by the way is
hnaD is one OF considerable importance, tending
to establish better confidence and satisfaction
in the minds OF the settlers aud BESIDES set
tlng the principle in all It's analosies, that pre-
emption may be settled upon adverse titles, and
that the rejection Of the adverse claim merges
the title IN the pre-emptor who is upon the
lands. The rights of the pre-emptor will be
perfected, and patents issued therefor, according
to the regulations governing such cases on other
public lands.
The decision is one conducting, we NAV add
to the character as well as the rights of settlers
on Mexican grants. The settler on such lands
cannot be popularity regarded as a tresspasser
he has al interest IN the lands, which he is enti-
tied to protect against third parties. and as long
as peaceable possession is allowed him by the
Mexican claimant, he can be regarded III no
other light, and called by no other names, than
those of equity and honesty. His interest in the
lands which he occupies is liable to be defeated,
as is the title OF every one the face of the
earth; but until his interest be so defeated his
position as an adverse claimant is one to which
he is entitled by the laws of the country 1t
should be recollected that, as yet there is no
decision TO these Mexican claims which the set
tier is asked to, or may with justice to himself,
| abide by; and until such decisions are rendered.

serves the pro- -ection of our Courts and Legis-
