SEA GRANDEUR.

There is peculiar charm about the
sea; it is always the same but never
monotonous. Mr. G0sse has well observ-
ed that you soon get tired Of looking at
the loveliest field, but never at the roll
ing waves. The secret, perhaps, is, that
the field does not seem alive; the sea is
life unabounding. Profoundly myster-
Gus as the field is, with Its countless
forms of life, the aspect does not irresist-
ably and at once coerce the mind to think
of subjects so mysterious and so awful
as the aspect of the sea does-it carries
with it in no ineradicable associations of
terror and awe, such as are borne in
every murmur of old ocean, and thus is
neither so terrible nor so suggestive. As
we look from the cliffs, every wave has
its history every swell keeps US in sus-
pense; it will break now. or will it melt
into that large wave? And then the log
which floats so aimlessly on its bank, and
now is carried under again like drown
ing wretch-it is the fragment of some
ship which has struck miles and miles
away, far from help and all pity, unseen
except of Heaven, and no messenger OF
its agony to earth, except this log which
floats so buoyantly on the tide.
We may weave some such tragic story
as we idly watch the fiuctuating advance
of the dark log; but whatever we weave,
the story will not be wholly tragic, for the
beauty and serenity of the scene are
sure to assert their influences. 0 mighty

As soon as the multitude had recover
ed itself, and the excitement of irrepres-
sible enthusiasm had abated, Mr. Rich
ard Barnwell Rhett, of South Carolina,
leaped upon one of the desks, waived his
hand, and exclaimed:
* | move that the Hon. John Quincy
Adams take the chair of the speaker Of
this House, and ofiiciate as presiding Of
ficer till the House be organized by the
election of its constitutional officers. AS
many as are agreed to this will say aye"

no"-for one universal, deafening, thun-
dering Gye responded TO the nomination.
Hereupon it was moved and ordered
that Lewis Williams of North Carolina,
and Richard Barnwell Rhett conduct
John Quincy Adams to the chair.

THE SPHINX.

Near the pyramids, more wondrous
and more awful than all else in the land
of Egypt, there sits the lonely Sphynx.
Comely the creature is, but the comeli-
ness is not of this world the once wor-
shipped beast is deformity and de-
tormity TO this generation, and yet you
can see that those lips so thick and heavy,
were fashioned according to some ancient
mould of beauty-some mould of beauty
now orgotten-forgotten because that
Greece drew forth Cytherea from the
flashing foam of the Hgean, and in her
image created new forms of beauty, and
made it a law among men that the short
and proudly wreathed lip should stand
for the sign and the main condition of
loneliness, through all generations to
come. Yet still there lives the race of
those who were beautiful in the fashion
of the elder world; and Christian girls
of Coptic blood will look on you with
the sad, serious gaze, and kiss your char
liable hand with the big, pouting lips of
very Sphynx.
Laugh and mock, if you will, at the
worship of stone idols but mark We this,
ye breakers of images, that in one re-
gard the stone idol bears awful semblance
OF Deity; undergraduates in the midst
Of change; the same seeming will and
intent forever and ever inexorable =
Upon Greek and Roman, upon Arab and
Ottoman conquerors; upon Napoleon
dreaming of an Eastern empire; upon
battle and pestilence; upon the ceaseless
misery of the Egyptian race; upon the
keen eyed NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. yester-
day, and Warburton to day; upon all,
and more, this unworldly Sphynx has
watched like Providence with the same
earnest eyes, and the same tranquil mien.
And we've shall die, and the Islam will
wither away; and the Englishman lean
ing far over to hold his loved India, will
plant firm foot on the bank of the Nile
and sit in the seats of the faithful and
still that sleepless rock will lie watching
and watching the works of the new, busy
race, with those same sad, earnest eyes
and the same tranquil mean everlasting
You dare not mock at the Sphynx.-

IN WINTER.

lis cold to night!
Through my frost pictured pane
Isee tie old church vane,
Pointed, unmoviug, toward the Northern Light
lis icy codl
The wind skulls through the streets
S.abs whosoe'er it meets
Then lie', with demon laughter, to the void!
But in my room
The fire burns clear aud bright,
The doors are closed tight,
The curtains red shut out the wintry gloom.
Here side by side,
Like doves within their nest,
1ly rosy darlings rest,
No blessings are to them, to me, denied.
But, as glze,
think OF baby hands,
Stretched over dying brands,
Whence the sick mothers breath evokes no bla2e
Of waiings weak,
From pallets scantlv spread;
Of night long cries Tor bread
or suuken eye and Gn.ne-wasted cheek.

Opes wide my heart TO poverty's snd train.
