Winter Night-Thoughts.

Along the solitary path,
Where oft, when summer skies were bright
We roamed together-you and |,
walk alone, this witer night.
M sound is in the frosty air;
Ny foot falls noiseless on the ground;
The woodland brook is cold and mute,
Its voice in chains Of crystal bound.
The trees that formed grateful shade,
When summer suns were riding high,
Now lift their stark and son,bre limbs
In wesk beseeching to the sky.
Still, on yon slight and stiipling elm
A withered leaf clings sere aud lone.
True 10 the ldst-poor. shive,ing thing!
Its summer bloom and beauty gone!
look above, and dream ofJune,
For June's soft skies are not more blue;
feel the subtle breath of flowers.
And flowers bring gentle thoughts OF you!
Yet, as gaze, the stars grow pale
Before the STANCE, auroral light
That flashes up the northern sky
And every moment grows more bright.
othi nd'ShihS, MAJ CHiHe, inaiCnIlS on,
With grand, slow steps. that give no sound,
This mystic army OF the sky
The broad horison sweeps around!
Oh, Infinite the hosts Of Heaven,
In solemn anthems chant thy praise;
Aud earth her myriad voices joins
10 magnify thy glorious ways!
few brieI months and genial Guns
Shall wake to life the frozen brook,
And kris the tender viole;-buds,
In every shady, woodland nook.
The signing trees shall shout for joy;
The little hills shall clasp their hands"
The flowers shall brightly bloom again,
And verdurc deck the meadow lands
And thus it is, the eye of faith
Must Look beyond the brief to-day;
For here We walk with aching feet
The bare and solitary way.
Lifc's winter strips our boughs Of leaves,
But bloom shall come with coming Spring
And so the childaen Of the Lord
Are perfected through suffering

BS- A man letter from London dated
January 3Oth, says: The Chinese war
is by far more popular than the Persian,
the English merchants and missionua-
ries being anxious te get free access to
all the ports of the Empire. According
to the last dispatches, Canton, with its
| 100000 inhabitants, was to be bonn
barded and destroyed without mercy
Admiral Seymour having no sufficient
force for garrisoning the town after its
capture. Governor Yeh having with
drawn all the Chinese soldiers frsm the
province aud concentrated them at
Canton, the country was overrun by
robbers and by the scum of the rebel
army lowering in the neigborhood; all
the rich country seats were set on hire
and pluudcred by this rabble, and the
devastation can olny be compared to the
inroad of the bar1ariaRs into the Roman
provinces at the time of the Migration.
The next move Of the English will be
occupation and annexation Of Chusan,
and the blockade of the great canal by
which the rice and provisions for Pekin
and the cnast are carried up from the
middle provinces. The Emperor OF
China can by snch blockade easily be
starved into submission. AS there is
no doubt that the rebels will try to
profit by the discontinue o. the Inn
perialisis, we may say that the death
knell of the present Tartar dynasty has
already sounded.

The Pcrjured Goldsmith.
BY PROF. J. II. INCRAHAM.

CHAPTER I.
A modest and exceedingly pretty
young girl plainly attired entered one Of
tie goldsmitb's stores on -- street
and seeing that a gentleman was eDgag
ed with the proprietor,she timidly shrunk
aside near the door until be should be
at leisure. The assistants were also oc.
cupied with customers whose dress and
appearance showed them to belong t.
the class of the rich, and so she was
suffered to remain for some time, stand.
ing there, before she could be attended
to.
The gentleman, who was 6ne, noble
looking person, with remarkably pol
ished address, seeing her waiting, court
cously stood aside, and said to the gold
smith
DO not occupy yourself with me
now, Mr. Broochard,l i can examine these
watches by myself while you see what
this young person wants, who has been
waiting here so long and patiently toget
an opportunity to speak to you
What do you want, Miss = asked the
goldsmith, with a look that conveyed a
reproof to her for interrupting him while
engaged with customer Of more value
TO him.
The girl besitatingly approached the
counter, aud taking from her bosom a
small gold clasp, bent over to him, and
said 10 a low, trembling voice =
L wish, sir, you would be SO kind as
to keep this a few days and let me have
seven dollars on it."
Low as she spoke her soft trembling
tones reached the ears Of NlcHenry, the
gentleman who was present, aud he turn
ed to observe her face, and hear the re-
ply Of the goldsmith to this tinid and

ls- Setting aside the moral obli2a-
tons of sincerity and truth, they should
be followed on the principle of expedi-
ency. The single-miuded man, what
ever may be the mutations and calami-
ties of his life, is happier than tho
double dealer in the midst Of prosperity.
He has no detcctions to dread, no ex-
posures to fear; and he sleeps more
calmly on a matted couch than the
hypocritc on his downy pillow. Strange
perversions in man, to prefer the devious
path of deception to the arrowy strIght-
ness Of truth.

OPINIONS oF GEORGE PEABODY, THE BANKER.
 Mr. George Peabody, the eminent American, whose visit to this country has been the sub- Ject ol frequent newspaper comment both in consequence of the reception he has met with, and the generosity he has displayed in the en- doWmcnt ot several admirable institutions in return is reported, since the completion of his tour in the southern and yves ern States, to have expressed some opinions which, from such source, ana relating, as they do, to subjects which he perfectly understands, are entitled to considerable attention.
 This gentleman fuds the United States in a condition of general prosperity, of which he had no adequate conception; butas whole, he considers tho southern States as occupying the most sohd and permanent position of them all. l ne great staple of cotton makes the whole world forever tributary to them. This is some thing which at present they alone produce in such quantities as adequately to supply the looms of Europe and our own country, and without such We may almost say the world would go naked. In the northern States, the industrial pursuits of men are liable to great commercial changes The form aud the char acter of manufactured articles, the course of trade, the demand for shipping and the price of tloul, aro alL matters of frequent and dau- gerous Auctuato; but cotton, under the i'm pulse ot aA IucreasIng demand, and the cheap hess ot lts machinery formed novelties is a basis on which is pro luccrS may soldly and uHfcariA gIy rcpo9e.-Nrr I1tE WerulL
