a Dream,

Hilda sat by my side months and
years, and then she would rise up and
vanish through the dome above, and be
gone a century, leaving me in the glare
of that awful solitude. The chanda-
Her would 20 out, and a dim light, like
IA f,lnt aurora, would twinkle for ages,
and then again the children "onlt
blaze, with hundred fold briliancy,
and light up the infinite hall till it
seemed ii world of frozen flames.
Ililda kissed me twice in All that
hous nd years. | saw it, and felt it,
as one fees ice in a cobbler with u
spoon. 1t thrilled through my frozen
nerves till the tremor impressed itself
on that poirt Of consciousness At
length the "hole tower trembted, from
the starry heaven above to the ii ld Of
fire below 1t sank down, down, d wn
into the liquid, fire, which so little be-
fore had been ice. The waves came
nearer and nearer. One more is com
'ng, it is leagues in height. 1t will
pass over me, ana L shan disappear
forever; that, at least, vii annlhllate
me. Better than another eternity OF
motionless silence. 1t is almost upon
me-thrre-there, all Hi da, hover
ing above me On wings Of gold, snat n
es me from the just telling wall of hre.
and darts with me towards the celestial
done. On, on, on through cl.nds,
hro Oh tails of comets, across the or
bit Of planets, in speaking distance Of
fixed stars, covered with range but
beautiful shapes. tast'r and still more
rapiiIy am glow Of frc, my breath
is going. 0, At me rest! Quicker
Ihln my wish, she loosencd her gra p,
and onward / went, falling, falling,

Incidents of a Jour Printer.

''Some years ago journeyman printer ap-
pcared on the wharf at Louisville, Kentucky,
intending to take passage on a steamer for
New Orleans the morning was cold and
chilly and the frost was yet on the ground
and as he approached the boat his attention
was arrested by woman whose habiliments
betokencd that she had lost friend a hus-
band, leading two children up to the wharf.
The children were barefooted and thinly clad.
and the finer feelings of our typo prompted
him TO make inquiries ef the woman as to her
destination, &c. She related her situation.
She was widow. without funds, and left the
boat because she had not the means to go fur
ther. Our friend conducted her to a hotel,
took the children and provided them with
shoes and clothing, gave the poor woman
what money he had left, and instead of secu-
ring a comfortable berth on board the steam
er and pursuing his Journey, he took passage
on board coal boat aud worked his way to
New Orleans. We have heard him say that
the trip was a hard cne, but that he was full
ly paid by the consciousness of having per-
formed charitable act in furnishing the poor
woman with the means of carrying herself and
her orphan children to her friends. Reader,
that jour printer still lives-he carries on a
paper in Pennsylvania, and has prospered in
business-he has twice been a member of the
Pennsylvania Legislature-is elected for a
third tenn, and is prominent candidate for
Speaker. You are no doubt anxious to know
who he is, and we will tell you !; although his
modesty would forbid it were he present.
That jour printer was no more or less per-
sonage than G.. Nelson Smith, editor of the
Johnstown Echo. 4 man whom the '.Na-
tional Democrats" of Bedford and Cambria
thought TO defeat by the most foul and bitter
SANDER, but who has triumphed over such a
base and coWardlv onpositionn

THE AMERICAN LANGUAGE.

We find in the proceedings of the Teachers
Institute, which convened in Johnstown, ON
the l2th, 18th and 14th, ult the following
resolution, which, after a very exciting de-
bate. Was adopted:
Peso{rea, That commoc respect for our
great and growing national Importance de-
l"ands Of us. in the future, TO discard the
word English, and substitute in lieu thereof
the word American, in speaking of our Ian
guage-thus, the American Language instead
of the English Language, &c; and that the
attention of all future Publishers be respect
fully called to this suggestion.
Well that is what we call rich and rare
idea. Madam Juliet, when complaining that
her Hcmeo should be persecutcd merely be-
sause his name was Capulatc very justly as
We think asks
What's in 3 name7 that which We call rose,
BY any other name would smell sweet"
But majority of the learned men of
Johnstown, seem TO think otherwise. We
are great free and happy people, and it is
lut right that We should have a language of
cur own in word the American language: so
the Johnstown sarons reason the matter.
They are doubtless right, and since We must
have language of our own, let US make a
;udicous selection from genuine Amcri-
.an Languages, which were spoken by the
Ienuiue true blue native Americans, long be-
FORE Christopher Columbus dreamed of the
existence Of Western world. We have
quite number to select from, for instance ),
,ho Cherokee, Cheyenne. Seminole, Canaan
she, &c. This VIC think would be more hon
"r2ble than stealing the Language Of cousin
John Bull and calling it our own.
Whether the Americaaxeople will adopt the
,uygestion of the learned men of JohnstoHn,
time will show. Should the suggestion be
adopted, as soon as the new Language is in
stalled into Office, we will move that a.
kopelin, Esq., the father of the movement,
be employed to translate Shakspere into the
" American Language" and that Col. Shat
fer, one of its boldest advocates be forthwith
directed to prepare a Dictionary of the
American Language.

The Forthcoming Message.

The special Washington correspondent OF
Col Forney's Press says it is rumored that
Mr.. Buchanan, in bis first annual message to
Congress, will take bold grounds on the cur
rency question; that he will re-afirm the
principles laid down so clearly in his celebra-
ted speech on the Independent Treasury Bill
He believes that it was the intention of the
trainers of the constitution to establish a hard
money currency, and that the action of Con-
gress since has been steady departure from
that intention. 1t will be his object then, to
retrace the false steps taken, and to bring
the government back the true ground.
The issue will be made in the next Con-
gress, whether State banks have the constitu-
tioual power to issue circulating promises to
pay" There w,ll be large party 10 take
the negative of the argument who will not,
1t is said, yield, until decision has been Civ
en- on the question by the Supreme Court of
the United States. A general bankrupt law
for the banks will be presented fer action -
This will provide a fixed legal course for put
ting into liquidation insolvent banks all over

TIE Money Pressure.

That our money market has been wofully
depressed all will certainly acknowledge Yet
the imports of specie into the port of New
York alone during The month of October has
been upwards of 81 ,000 600 above the exports
The influx OF gold from Cal:f0Tuia has been
heavy during the present month We have
already had two steamers from. The Golden
Queen of the Pacific" during the present
mouth. The one at the beginning of the
month brought us $1,000, eco, and to-day
we have 1t announced, that the ST. Louis IS on
her way from Havana with one million aboard.
Two days since the Tennessee came in from
Vera Cruz to New Orleans with $500, 000.-
The Arabia briggs to-day 81 0G0 GOO from
Europe. Thus within week s., 800, 600
have reached us from abroad
For few days some nervous people were
excited because the Pacific sailed carrying out
S226,O0 and the Baltic went with $500. eco
Ii these latter sums be deducted from the for
mcr, We have still clear balance in our favor
of imported gold 81 $4,000 within week
We cannot but regard this result with hearty
satisfaction. This gold cannot lie idle, Ii
must find its way into circulation Capital
according to well established law of com
merce, must rcmuuirate its owners They
will not suffer it to remain unrroduotive for
any length of time Hence, we argue that
the tightncss of the money market will at once
be preceptably relieved. Confidence will
slowly but surely come back
There are two features in the news of the
Arabia which are peculiarly important.
These are the rise iu English Consols and the
storming of Delhi. 1t is true that she also
brings accounts of the suspension of the Bor-
ough Bank in Liverpool, and of the failure of
number of heavy mercantile houses in yari
GUS parts of the United Kingdom We do not
regard this suspension or these failures as
amounting to anything. The fact that in the
face of the apparent disasters. consols had not
only remained firm, but had actually risen in
value, showing that our opinion is well based.
Another significant fact is that the gold in the
Bank of England had fallen off only no 900
during the week preceding the sailing of the
steamer. This is small compared with the
drain of the week Immediately vreceeding.
The truth is, that the fall of Delhi, and the
junction Of the two divisions of Gen. Outram
and Havelock, and their advance to Lucknow
bave given more confidence to the English
money market, than could have been derived
from any other cause or causes. These mill
tary operations will tend most seriously to
prevent the threatened expectation of gold to
India These facts ought to afford US peculiar
qualification

The Speakership.

Tho Democratic papers throughout the
State, continue to speak out in favor Of
George n Smith, as the Speaker of the next
House of Representatives. with astonishing
unaniBiiy. The +" Bedford Gazette" and
Thug organ No. D. are left alone in their
glory; not single Democratic paper in the
State having yet joined them in their mali
eious assaults on the personal and political
character of the Representative from Cam
bria." 1t must be indeed gratifying to Capt.
Smith, TO have his claims to the Speakership
advocated and urged, by such radical Demo-
cratic papers as the Pittsburg Union, Pitts
turg Post, Greensburg Democrat, Reading
Gazette, Uniontown Genius of III erty
Greensburg Republican, Bairsvillc Record,
ds.
We have no doubt that the election of
Capt. Smith as Speaker, would be very an
noying to a few Know -Nothings in and about
Johnetown. Who style themselves Democrats.
We sincerely hope they will continue to show
their teeth, snarl and snap at him through
their paid organs" The more they oppose
him the brighter grows his prospects of sue
cess. The following which we find IN the
Editorial columns of the "Uniontown Gen-
US Of Liberty" is so well timed aud truthful,
that We carnot forbcar quoting II:

The BRITIsH CAUSE IN INDIA The Lon

1t would be afectaton to pretend that on
the Continent the embarrassments of this
country have been seen with displeasure. In
deed, the French journals which venture to
say few words in our defence, are obliged
to apologize to their readers for running coun-
ter to the public feeling, and openly acknowl
edge that the total destruction of the British
power has been anticipated with satisfaction
