From "Elth and Nola," poem by Pro-
fessor Wilson, the "Christopher North OF
Blackwood's Magazine."l
She had risen up from her morning PRAYER,
And chained the waves of her golden hair,
Half kissed her sleeping sisters cheek,
And breathed the blessings she might not
speak,
Lest the whisper should break the dream that
smiled
Round the snow-white brow of the sinless
child,
Her radiant lamb and her purple dove
Have ta'en their food from the hand they
The low deep coo and the plaintive bleat,
In the morning calm, how clear and sweet;
Ere the sun hath warmed the dawning hours
She hath watercd the glow of her garden
And welcomed the hum of the earliest bee
In the moist bloom working drowsiy;
Then up the flow of the rocky ril
She trips away to the pastoral hill;
And, as she lifts her glittering eyes,
In the JOY of her heart to the dewy skies,
She feels that her santed parents bless
The life OF their orphan shepherdess.
'Tis lonely glen. but the happy child
Hath friends whom she meets in the morn
ing Wild
AS on she trips her native stream,
Like her, hath awoke from joyful dream,
And gdes away by her twinkIing feet,
lth face as bright and a voice as sN eet,
In the osler bank the ousel sitting
Hath heard her step, and away is fitting
From stone to stone as she gidcs along,
Then sinks in the stream with broken song
The lapwing, fearless of his nest,
Stands looking round with delicate crest;
For love like JOY is in his cry
As he wheels and darts and glances by.
Is the heron asleep on the silvery strand
OF his little lake! 10. his wings expand
AS a dreamy thought, and wthouten dread
Cloud like he floats DER the maiden's head
She looks to the birch wood glade, and lol
There is browsing there the mountain roe,
Who lifts up her gentle eyes, nor moves,
As on glldes the form whom all nature loves
llavng spent in heaven an hour of mirth,
The lark drops down to the dewy earth,
And Il silence soothes his yearning breast
In the gentle folds Of his lowly nest;
The linnet takes up the hymn, unseen,
In the yellow bloom or the bracken green;
And now, as the morning hours are growing
From the hillside cots the cocks are Growing
And the shepherds dog is barking shrill
From the mist fast rising from tho hill,
And the shepherds self, with locks of gray
Hath blessed the maiden on her way.
And now she sees her own dear flock
! On verdant mound beneath the rock,
All close together in beauty and love,
Like the small fair clouds in heaven above,
And her innocent soul, at the peaceful sight
Is swimming DER with still delight.

EMIGRATION FROM CAIIFoRNiA. - Under
the above head, that spirited little paper, the
Torn Tux "pitches in" 70 those who have
been guilty Of abusing Native Caiornians,
after this fashion:
Since the subject has been broached Of the
emigration Of the native Calilornians,we have
heard Of numerous instances Of most outra-
Veou- oppression upon the people. We have
no doubt that in many instances, in this
State, forged titles have been got up by cum
ming lawyers, with native Caliornans as rep
resentatve proprietors, for large tracts Of
public lands, and that, by the aid Of perjury,
some Of these forged grants have been con-
firmed; but this does not justify men in squat
ting upon well known tracts, about the title
Of which there is no dispute. We are in
formed that in many cases they have, and.
not content with selling on CalilornIan's lands
they have killed his cattle, prosecuted him for
damages where his stock has broken into
their enclosures, and recovered them-actu-
all, made him paw for occupying his own
lands Americans in some cases not content

A veryimportant decision has lately been given
in the ecclesiastical Court at London in the case
of Westeron vs.. Liddell. The London cores
pendent of the Philadelphia american says:
The Rev. Mr. Liddell is Puseyite, and has
adorned his altar with candlestcks, his church
with flowers, pictures, and large cross, and
has erected credence table, and uses hand
somey decorated and various colored cloths for
the altar, all ofwhich has offended the evange-
cal notions of Mr.. Westerton, the church warden,
who having, without effect, applied to the Bishop
Of London, appealed to the Consistory Court.
Here he has obtained a verdict. The decision
is to the effect that the crosses and candlesticks
are to be removed, the credence table to be
substituted by one movable and of wood, and
the various colored cloths to be changed for
one Of pure white. The decision has created
great sensation. An appeal against the deci
sion has been lodged in the proper quarter, but
il not reversed it will occasion large secession
from the Church of England.

BAYARD TAYLOR, in his "New Volume of
Travels" gives the following humorous descrip-
ton Of the cats Of Aleppo:
"The other remarkable thing here is the
hospital for cats. This was founded long ago
by rich cat-loving Musselman, and is one Of
the best endowed institutions in that city. An
old mosque is appropriated to that purpose,
under the charge of several directors, and
here sick cats are nursed, homeless cats find
shelter, and decripit cats gracefully purr away
their decling years. The whole category en-
braces several hundreds, and it is quite sight
to behold the corridors and terraces of the
mosque swarming with them. Here one with
bruised limbs is receiving cataplasm; there,
a cataleptic patient is tenderly cared for; and
SO on through the long concentration Of feline
diseases. Aleppo, moreover, rejoices in a
greater number Of cats than even Jerusalem
At rough guess / should thus state the popu-
lation Of the city: Turks and Arabs 10000;
Christians Of all denominations. $4,000; Jews,
10000; dogs, $4,000; cats, 5000"

A Baby E1eph ant.

The editor Of the New York Sunday Times
has seen the baby elephant that was born re-
Gently in that city, and gives a very pretty ac-
count OF the little creature:
These baby elephants are very interesting
objects. They are perfectly formed throughout,
and differ from their parents only in size; but
that difference is so amazing that it becomes
ludicrous and When you see the baby walking
to and fro under It's mother you cannot resist
the impulse to laugh at the oddity Of the com.
parison. And then the bulky mothers care of
Der baby is so human-like and afIectionate.
Give the baby an apple, for instance. The
mother FIRST takes IL in her trunk, examines Il
closely, and then returns il to her infant TO eat
having satisfied herself apparently, Of its in.
nocuouspess. And so with every thing else"

Painful scene In Court.

The New York correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Ledger notes the following scene:
'.The Court of General Sessions, on Saturday,
presented painful scene. An old man, with
silver locks, some 70 years of age, was brought
up to receive sentence, having been convicted
of perjury, in swearing to the possession of real
estate, which he did not own, in order to be-
come bail for woman who had been arrested
and bound over for some offense. The prisoner
was so overcome with emotion that he had to
be supported. Near by him stood his daughter,
a brighteyed, faxen-haired little girl of Z or s
years, crying and sobbing bitterly. He was a
German and could not speak word of Eng
lish.
When asked by the Recorder fine had any
thing to say before sentence was pronounced,
he replied, through an interpreter, i am inno-
cent The Recorder passed the lowest sentence
upon him allowed by the law-two years in the
State prison. On leaving the bar, the prisoner
was surrounded by his wife and four children,
and a scene ensued which might have moved a
heart of stone. kissing each of his children
aud bidding his wife adieu, he was re-conducted
to his cell. The court was crowded at the
time, and but few dry eyes were visible. The
Recorder, it is understood, will exert his influence
to induce the Governor to grant pardon. He
says there is reason to believe that the prisoner
labors under hallucinaton that he, in reality, is
the possessor of large property.

n,y- The Richmond (va) Enquirer says:

"The Massachusetts, Emigration Aid Society
is the sole author Of the deplorable civil broils
at Kansas Had that Terri DRY been settled
fairly and naturally, no difficulties would have
arisen. Massachusetts, with much in her char
acter to admire, has exhibited, from her first
settlement naughty, insolent, intoerant, and
dictatorial spirit, never equalled by any other
people. In her early history, we find this spirit
blended with religious enthusiasm and puri-
tanical though cruel morality. Her religious
prosecutors and her gross superstitions were
overbalanced and atoned for by the general
purity of life which she displayed Now, with
out having lost any Of her insolent intolerance,
she has added thereto gross in6delity and vul-
gar RIGHTEOUSNESS. She acts as badly now, in
encouraging fanaticism, as she did formerly in
hanging witches. She is the Marplot of the
Union, and yet she has, in public and in pri-
vate life, men who do honor to their age and
country, and who as patriotic and conser-
vative as any in the Union.

THAaDEMOcRACY DOES NOT NEED A
NEW CHRIsTENING.

The Opposition to the Democracy, who have
adopted more aliases 10 their original name of
FederdtiSt than there are moons in the calen-
dar year, are eternally offering new names for
the adoption of the Democratic party. They
have, on one occasion, called our party "Loco-
iocos; and again, when they fought in some
OF the States under the name and banner Of
" Anti-Masonry" the name Of sacks" was
assigned to the Democracy; and, still more re.
Gently, the new fedgling Of the old Federal
party, had applied TO the staunch old party OPP
posed to it, the designation OF "Foreigners."
Now, in their dilemma in the House of Repre-
sentatives, this same "many OPPOSE
tion," has thought fit to call the Democratic
phalanx opposed to it, the Administrations
party This trick Of the enemy is too stale
and too transparent humbug TO be played off
successfully. They cannot disturb the calm,
solid equanimity of the stern, inhexible Demo
cratic column in the House Of Representatives,
or any where else, by any new christening.
The Administration may belong to the De.
mocratic party, and for the good of the coun-
try it should always do So but the Democratic
party does not belong to any Administration.
1t stands upon its own platform of principles,
and viii not change those principles or its good
old name for any other principles or name.
The Democratic party in the House of Rep
resentatives, standing upon its time-honored
platform embraced in the resolutions adopted
at its first meeting by a unanimous vote, count
secentysir members. Upon that platform
they place the Democratic party, but say not
one word about the Administration, or an sd
minist,ation party" The opposition, COM
posed, of what are known as Abolitonists,
Freesoilers, and Know.noihings, numbering
one hundred and fifty, are, therefore, response
BILE to the country for the delay in organizing
the House OF Representatives. Every intelli-
gent citizen in the United States knows that
the contest is in reality between The Democratic
party and Democratic principles and those
elected i'll opposition 10 them. There is no
way to conceal this solemn truth.
