MY CHILD.

The foot Of Spring is on yon blue-topped noun
tain,
Leaving its green prints meath each spread.
ing tree;
Her voice is heard beside the swelling fountain,
Giving sweet tones to its wild melody.
From the warm South she brings unnumbered
roses,
To greet with smiles the eye of grief and
care;
Her balmy breath on the worn brow reposes
heed them not my child
In the low vale the snow-whte daisy sprngeth,
The golden dandeon by its side,
The egantine a dewy fragrance hingeth
To the soft breeze that wanders far and wide
The hyacinth and polyanthus render,
From their deep hearts an offering of love;
And fresh May-pinks, and half blown lilacs
Their grateful homage to the skies above
] heed them not my child
In the clear brook are springing water-cresses
And pale green rushes, aud fair namees
flowers;
While DER them dip the willows verdant tresses
Dimpling the surface with their mimic show
tr5.
The honey-suckle stealthily is creeping
: Round the low porch and nossy cotlag,
caves;
Oh, Spring hath fairy treasures in her eeping
And lovely are the landscapes that sh,
weaves:
'Tis nought to me my child
All day long listen to the singing
OF the gay birds, and winds among the trees
But sad understrain is ever singing
A tale of death and its dread mysteries.
Nature to me the letter is that killeth-
The spirit of her charms has passed away :,
A fount of bliss no more my bosom flleth-
Slumbers its idol in unconscious clay
Thou art in the grave my child!
For thy glad voice my spirit only pineth;
Ilanguish for thy blue eyes holy light;
Vainly for me the glorious sunbeam shineth;
Vainly the blessed stars come forth at night
| walk in darkness with the tomb before me,
Longing to lay my dust beside thy own;
o cast the mantle Of thy presence DER me
Beloved, leave me not so deeply lone
Come back to me my child
Upon that breast ofpitying love thou lcanest,
| Which oft on earth did pillow such as thou
Nor turued away petitioner the meaneSt-
| Pray to Him sinless--He will hear the now
Plead for thy weak and broken hearted mother
Pray that thy voice may whisper words o
peace;
Her ear is deaf, and can discern no other;
| Speak and her bitter Borrowings shall cease
Come back to me my child
Come but in dreams-let me once more behol,
thee,
As in thy hours of buoyancy and glce;
And one brief moment in my arms enfo,d thee
Beloved, will not ask thy stay with me!
Leave hut the impress of thy dove like beauty
Which memory strives so vainly to recall,
And | will onward in the path of duty,
Restraining tears that ever iain would fall!
Come but in d. cams my child!

I'VE sincerely trust that this is not tho case.

FORGERY ON THE rAsroN RANK

Some two weeks ago stranger called on
Mr.. John Howell, of Allen township, in
this county, informing him of his desire to
purchase farm in that neighborhood, and
wished Mr.. ii. to give him information as to
location, &C., to which Mr.. H., in this affable
manner, complied, inviting him to dinner, and
finally conveying him some distance to the
cars. The stranger, not to be outdone in
polteness, thanked Mr.. II. kindly and asked
him to give him his address for future refer
cnce, and then departed. Arriving at Eas-
ton, with whip in hand, few minutes after
bank hours, he tapped at the window of the
bank, entered, and presented letter and
draft with Mr.. Howelrs signature affixed
desiring draft on Philadelphia for three
hundred and eighty-four dollars-he, rs well
as the contents of the letter, alleging he had
sold Mr.. II. three mules.
He stated that he was in q great hurry,
intendn, 70 take the train of cars which
were about leaving. The officers of the Bank,
conceving all right, after some hesitation
it being after bank hours-gave the desired
draft and the next day the rascal. calling on
Mr. Smith, in Philadelphia, with forged
letter of introduction from Mr.. Howell, easily
obtained Mr.. Smiths signature Of endorse
ment, and the draft was duly honored by the
City Bank A few days intervening and Mr..
Howell coming to Easton, the draft and let
ter being shown to him, were by him pro-
nounced forgeries. The officers of the
Bank acknowledged take-in with loss

AMERICAN SAILORS on Tour.

From late Hong Kong papers we select
the following interesting intelligence
AMERICAN SAILORS ON Tour.
(From the North China Herald, Dec. el)
On Friday se'nnight party of four Amer
lean sailors arrived in Shanghae, who caused
no little curiosity when it was ascertained
that they had travelled under escort all the
way from Corea. 1t appears that these men
belonged to the American whaler Two
Brothers, of New Bedford. They sailed in
her to the Pacific in June, 1854, and last
summer they state that, being kept on short
commons and il-treated by their captain,
they took one of the ships boats and made
their escape to the coast of Corea, being at
the time to the northward their boat was
stove in on the beach, but they received Il
kind reception by the natives, who fed them
aud kept them amongst them for whole
month, after which the proper authorities
having been communicated with, they were
sent on horseback through Manchuria to the
Great WALL where they were delivered up
to the Chinese Mandarin and forwarded to
Iekin. The first night Of their arrival in
tue northern capital they were visited by
Russian missionaries, who gave them food
and clothing; they spoke but little English,
and communicated mostly in writing.
After remaining at Pekin about weeks,
the Russians told them that the Emperor of
China had presented them with some silver,
and they We're to be sent down TO Shanghae
the money they never saw; but on their
road to this port, they were very scantily
supplied with copper cash; they received
only 40 cash per day, at starting, which
paltry sum was subsequently reduced to ten
cash day, until ;hey approached this district,
when they were paid about 200 cash per day.
They speak well of their treatment both in
CorSa and Mauchuria but dsparage their
treatment in China. They say that they
travelled through highly cultivated country
between this and Pekin, and passed through
a great many fine cities, which were exceed
ingly populous Unfortunately they appear
TO be very unsophistcated young men, from
20 to "a years Of age, and did not profit much
by their opportunities Of travel. In all the
resting places they were kept in the prisons
and in Corea and Manchuria they never saw
woman; they were jeaously kept from thc
FAn-Quis.

NICERoYALTY OF ALGIERs.-It is now set
tied that upon the birth of the young French
Prince or Princess, as the case may be, AL
geria is to be converted into Viceroyalty,
of which the Prince Napoleon will be Vice.
roy. The imperial child, if boy, will be
called King Of Algeria, and court will be
established there. Immense efforts are
going to be mude by Napoleon in favor OF
this colony, and the most exaggerated no
tions of It's future greatness are entertained
by the Government of France. A late
decree OF the Emperor makes the most
tempting offer to emigrants, by securing tC
them not only free lands but houses already
constructed, and the Government of France
has placed itself in communication with al
the German States on this subject, with G
view OF turning emigration from its ordinary
channel to the United States towards Al
giers.
