FB-James R. Lowell, in one of his
Boston lectures, used the following
beautiful language WHO can doubt
the innate charm of rhyme whose eye
has ever been delighted by the visible
consonance of the tree growing at once
toward an upward and downward
heaven, on the edge of the unrippled
river, or, as the kingfsher firs from
shore to shore, his silent echo flies un>
der him and completes the vanishing
couplet in the visionary world below ?
Who can question the divine validity
of number, proportion and harmony,
who has studied the various rhymes Of
the forest? Look, for example, at the
pine, how its branches, balancing each
other, ray out from the tapering stem
in stanza after stanza, how spray an-
swers to spray, and leaf to leaf in or
dered strophe and antistrophe, till the
perfect tree stands an embodied ode,
through which the unthinking wiud
cannot wander without finding the mel
ody that is in it, and passing away in
music.

CooDLE AND DooDLE.--Ministerial
crises and changes are well caricatured
by Dickens, in sketch that applies to
such events elswhere as we'll as in
England:
"England has been in a dreadful
state for some weeks. Lord Coodle
would 60 out, Sir Thomas Doodle
wouldn't come in, and there being
nobody in Great Britain Go speak
of except Coodle and Doodle, there
has been no government. 1t is
mercy that a hostile meeting between
these two great men, which at one time
seemed inevitable. did not come off ;
because if both pistols had taken effect,
and Coodle and Doodle had killed each
other, it is to be presumed that Eng
land must have waited to be governed
until young Coodle and young Doodle,
now in frocks and long stockings, we're
grown up. This stupendous national
calamity, however, was averted by
Lord Goodies making the timely dis
covery, that if in the heat of debate
he had said that he scorned and despi.
scd the whole ignoble career of Sir
Thos. Doodle, he had merely meant to
say that party differences should never
induce him to Withhold from it the trib-
ute of his warmest admiration; while it
as opportunely turned out, on the other
hand, that Sir Thomas Doodle had, in
his own bosom, expressly booked Lord
Coodle to go down to posterity as the
mirror of virtue and honor.
Still England has been some weeks
in the dismal strait of having no pilot
Gas was well observed by Sir Leicester
Dcdlock) to weather the storm; and
the marvellous part of the matter is,
that England has not appeared to care
very much about it, but has gone on
eating and drinking, and marrying
and giving in marriage, as the old
world did in the days before the flood.
But Coodle knew the danger, and Doo-
die knew the danger, and all their fol
lowers and hangers,on had the clearest
possible perception of the danger. At
last, Sir Thomas Doodle has not only
condescended to come in, but has done
it handsomely, bringing in with him
all his nephews, all his male cousins,
and all his brothors>in n-law. So there
is hope for the old ship yet"

A SECRET SOCIETY IN CANADA

A SECRET SOCIETY IN CANADA. -
A correspondent of the ". Y. Herald,
residing in Sutton, Canada East, tells
a curious and improbable story about
the existence of secret organization
in Canada, having for its object the
release of that province from allegiance
to the crown, and the formation of an
independent republic. He says that
the society in its general arrangements
and method Of initiation somewhat re-.
sembles the society Of Know Nothings;
but the oath of secrecy is stronger and
more binding.

The two Locks Of Hair.
ny n. W. LoNGrELLow.

by n. W. L0NGFELLoW.
A youth light hearted and content,
wander through the world;
Here, Arab-like, is pitched my tent,
And straight again is furlcd.
Yet Oft dream that once wife
Close in my heart was locked;
And in the sweet repose of life
A blessed child rocked.
wake Away ,hal drcam--away!
Too long did II remain
So long that both by night and day
1t ever comes again.
The end lies ever in MY thought;
To grave, so cold and deep,
The mother beautiful Mas brought;
Then dropped the child asleep.
But now the dream is wholly DER;
bathc mine eyes and see,
And wander through the world once more
A youth SO light and free.
Two locks-and they are wondrous fair
Left me that vision mild;
The brown is from the mothers hair,
The blonde is from the child
And when I see that lock of gold,
Pale grows the evening red;
And when the dark lock behold,
l wish that were dead.

The DEATH OF BILL PooLE.-Onc
of the New York papers thus comments
upon the death of the late PRIZE fight
er:
Much noise is being made about
the murder of this noted character,
and in one sense it is an event of some
Importance. Bill Poole was one of
class of men who rose into notoriety
some twenty years ago, when the fash
ion began Of packing the primary cleo
tions and selling the nominations. lie
and others by their superior physical
strength and pugilistic ability, com,
pletely excluded honest respectable
men from these assemblies, and for
years and years wore in the habit of
selling every nomination to the highest
bidder. In fact these men lived on
what they made in this way, we're reg
ularly employed to fight for one party
or the other at every election, and
we're sometimes even sent off specially
into the country to manage a canvass
or bully convention. When the
Know.Nothing revolution broke out,
and honest men began once more to
rise up against this system of black
guardism and pugilism, the fighters
were thrown out of employment. For
some time We have heard less and less
of them; then VIC heard they were fight.

ly do when disbanded and now we
hear that Bill Poole is shot dead in q
beastly affray at drinking house in
Broadway A fit end to such career!
and deeply ought We to be thankful to
the Know-Nothings that the unfortun-
ate man who is dead and the wretches
who killed him are not still banded to.

CoURTs Of CANCELLATION Bills have
been introduced in the Legislature of
New York and of Massachusetts for the
establishment of courts of conciIiation
and arbitration, to take jurisdiction Of
that class of cases in which personal feel

contracts where the amount does not ex-
ceed one hundred dollars. The design
is to prevent litigation aud to give ad'
verse parties an opportunity to come to-
gether on fair terms. without the vexa'
tion and delay aud evaporation which
attend legal proceedings. There are
grave difficulties in this scheme, hut the
experiment is worth trying

Mrs. Alexander Hamilton once told
a friend that she was the first person
in the United States for whom icscream
was made. A famous cook from Paris
came to see her to obtain employment,
and by way of showing her skill asked
for some lemons, cream, ice, and sugar.
with which she made some delicious
ice cream, which from that time be-
came the fashion in New York for
dessert and evening entertainments.
