A GFIiSII IN THE PAM

THE la,elythreatened invasion Of Cuba, by an
army of fifteen thousand men under General QUITMAN,
has turned out to be perfect flash in the pan Alter
all that was said about the splendor of the hcros
military genius, the magncence Of the enterprise and
the ripeness Of the occasion, the sword that CLEANED
so brightly about the gates Of Mexico still slumbers in
its scabbard, and the army that TO have followed
it as an oriAamme Of victory, simply nouhcrc. We
had so often heard nucndoes and read on.dits hn,ing
at something mys.erousy grand which was to be the
end of all this QUrrMAY and Cuba talk, that We We're

SUCCESSORS OF THE EMPEROR.

The question us to who will be the successor
Of the Emperor Nicholas, supposing him 10 be
really dead, hinges on the fact that the Russian
law provides that the oldest son of the rcigning
monarch shall be his successor. Alexander, the
oldest son Of Nicholas, was born before his faith
or came 10 his throne, and the friends of Con-
stautine contend that he, having been born
"under the purple" is properly entitled to the
crown. The distinction appears to be more
technical than real, though its decision may give
to Russia rs her future Emperor Alexander,
who is understood TO be a pacific disposition,
or Constantine. who inherits both the military
habits and the ambitious views Of his father.
If there really be this cashing of claims between
Alexander and Constantine, it may possibly en-
plain the unusual haste with which the death OF
Nicholas was made public. Constantine being
in the Crimea, and Alexander at St. Petersburg,
it would be matter of policy with the latter 10
make known the death of his father, and to pro-
cure his own immediate recognition as Emperor.
Constantine is known 10 be very ambitious, and
many anecdotes are current which Indicate his
thirst for empire. He opposes the law of prim-
ogenture and declares that the thrOnais the birth
right not of the oldest, but OF the most worthy.
One of his contidants once surprised him in the
act of drawing lines on n map, and inquired what
he was doing! Marking The boundaries of
my future empire" sad he; this" pointing to
the North, is for my brother, and this" (thc
Southl ais mine" His name also, with the
fatasm common in Russia, he believes fore
shadows his destiny as the conqueror and ruler
of Cons,antinople. He has made Turkish his
tory, literature and politics his special study,
and is thoroughly acquainted with the habits
and characteristics of its people. He is emphali-
caIly the leader of the Russian party, and if he
succeed to the throne will abate no part of the
obstinacy or perseverance with which his father
has pursued the policy that Peter the Great
committed TO his successors. Rumor also as
serts that there is on file in the archives Of the
Russian Senate document similar to that
which gave the crown to his father, by the re-
nunciation Of it by an elder brother.-Balimore

sERENADING THE JUDGE.


WE went out (some dozen good fellows) on Thurs
day night last, to serenade our glorious old Senator,
Judge BUTLER, as passing compliment upon his
return TO Stoneands. The night little cold, but
otherwise all that We could desire and the whole
party were in fine mood for doing the handsome thing
Within hundred yards Of the house we halted to
prepare our lanterns, instruments, notes, DC. The
consequence was some little unavoidable noise With
ont observing it, we had ap reached much nearer the
Judges office, in which he sleeps, than we reckoned
upon. The commoliun IN our ranks it seems, aroused
hlm out of good old-fashloned country mp. And
his stern demand of" Who goes there" had just about
enough uf the military in it TO make our leader deem
it advisable to respond Immediately III reply to the
accord which we al sounded, the old mans voice
was on different key altogether. 1t told of the hos
pitabc breast whence it proceeded. He saw object
in twinkng, and his hearty a" Come along up, boys,
come along up" called forth burst Of melody which
only such genial tones can elicit. Alterhat all was
right, Old "S,onelands'' was made to ring again
with music while its dislng uishcd master, "accou
tired as he was in dressing gown and bools came out
in person and bade us follow" So indeed did !;
and (bamc us not for rehearsing it, Sons of Tempe

we tasted was of that old and oily kind which even
you might have excused rs cordial. But we cannot
further speak Of the private hospitality here so nobly
displayed. On the part of the band, we would ex.
press TO the Judge their heartfelt qualification with
all that ,ranspired on the orcasion. Our common
prayer is, that many years OF his useful life may yet
be spared to the country

The woods were in light blaze IN two sides OF ou
habitation, while the smok, rolled in immense vol
urnes almost over our very head. But luckily, o
rather by din, of good many hard licks and some
pretty hurried scraping away of pine straw, we es

To plant within her orchard, when
He gained the bealning smile he sought.
But fell disease hath laid its hand
Upon our precious Jsmnly's head;
And now our little favortc
Is numbered with the dead.
Within dear and treasured spot,
In grandma'sn garden lowly les
Our blighted bud, and now his soul
Is blooming in the upper skies.
Both snow-drops fair and violets
Well plant around his hallowcd grave;
That Ger our own sweet sisters boy,
Their tiny bells may softly wave.
And roses too with perfumed breath,
Ills quiet epitaph shall sing;
While requien,s, chantcd by the birds,
Above his tomb shall sweetly ring.
Above yon Sapphire stranded shore,
Where stars, like angel footprints shinc,
May We our cherished kindred meet,
