MY PICTU r Z.

Stand this way--more near the window =
by my desk-you see the light
Falling on my picture better
Thus l see II while write!
Who the head may be l know not,
But it has a student air;
With look, half-sad, halt-staely,
Grave swee, eyes and flowing hair.
Little care who the painter,
How obscure name he bore;
Nor, when some have named Eelasquez,
Did value it the more.
As it is would not give it
For the rarest piece Of art;
1t has dwelt with me and listened
To the secrets of my heart.
Many time, when to thy garnet
Weary | returned at night,
1t has seemed 10 look welcome
That has made my poor room bright
Many time, vhcn iii and sleepless,
| have watched the quivering CLEAN
or my lamp OF that picture,
Till it faded in my dream.
When dark days have come, and friendship
Worthless seemed, and life as vain,
That bright friendly smile has sent inc
Boldly to my task again.
Sometimes when hard need has pressed me
To bow down where | despise,
have read stern words of counsel
In those sad reproachful eyes.
Nothing that my brain imagined,
Or my weary hand has wrought,
But it watched the dim idea
Spring forth into armed Thought.
|, has smiled on my successes,
Raised me VIXEN my hopes were low,
And by turns has looked upon me
With all the kind eyes know.
Do you wonder that ny picture
Has become like to friend?
1t has seen my LIES beginnings,
Il shall see and cheer the end!

How Guns ARE SprKED.-A

HOW GUNS ARE SPIKED.-A
correspondent of the London Her.
aid describes how the Russians spike
the guns: 'The spikes are about
four inches long, and of the dimen.
sions of tobacco-pipe; the head
flat; a barb at the point acts as a
spring, which is naturally pressed to
the shaft upon being forced into the
touch-hole. Upon reaching the
chamber Of the gun, it resumes its
position, and it is impossible to with
draw it. 1t can only be got out by
drilling-no easy task, as they are
made OF the hardest steel-and be-
ing also loose in the touch-hole,
there is much difficulty in making a
drill bite as eifectually as it should.
Its application is but the work of a
moment--a single tap on the fiat
head with the palm Of the hand is
sufiicing.'

EF An eminent and venerable man has
just died at Washington, in the person OF
William Darby. Of the deceased the In
telligencer has the following obituary no.
tice:
DrED-Yesterday, in this city, William
Darby, Esq, in the 8oth year of his age
Mr.. D. was native of Pennsylvania, but
in his infancy removed with his parents to
Ohio, when the whole trans-Alleghany
country was wilderness inhabited only
by fierce and savage tribes of Indians
Reared in that country, he with its growth
and aided by his love of physical and espe-
cially of geographical science, he was bet
ter acquainted with the geography and
early history ofthe Great West than any
man we haye known. His knowledge
was not, however, confined TO his own
country, but ranged through all the world
and through all recorded history. The
requirements engrafted on mind of re-
markable vigor and power of analysis, rem
dered him tile most accurate historian, ge'
ographer and statistican ofwhom we have
ever had any knowledge. Nor was he les.
remarkable for the wisdom which he drew
from the lessons of history andexperience
He was man Of singular sincerity, probi
ty and benevolence, and was equally de
serving of respect for his virtues and admi
ration for the powers of his enlightened
understanding.
