THE RIVULEP.

Ever glancing, ever dancing,
Like sportive child al play,
From It's fountain, on the mountain,
Leaps the rivulet away;
From its starting, swiftly dar,ing,
Thinking like asilver bell,
As il crosses through The moses,
Where the lores, fairies dwell.
When the olden moon is golden
Gliding every tree and plant,
Aud the eIfin Geasts are holden
In the hollow oak they haunt
Ever sparkling, lhro' The darAling
Myrtes. green and violet,
Thou art laughing, they are quaffing
Pansy wine from cups of jet.
Running slower, sinking lower,
As lhy seaward course is Sped
Till il bushes. mid dead rushes,
BY The oceans briny bed
80 youths gladness ends in sadness,
And life's rivulets. that start
From loves mountains, loose their foun
iains
In the Dead Sea of The heart

PRESIDENT BUCHANAN AND
CUBA.

We find the following in the Washing-
ton correspondence Of the ". Y. Times:
Auguste Belmont. late U. 6. Minister
at the Hague, IS to be sent as U. s. Min.
ister to Madrid. His appointment was
among the first determined upon by Mr..
Buchanan, and will be cousnmmated in
due time The selection Of Mr.. Belmont
to represent the United States at the Court
Of Spain, signifies much more than the
personal esteem 10 which he Is held by the
President. Mr.. Buchanan still cherishss
the hope Of acquiring Cuba by purchase,
aud has said on several occasions that he
must have the European Missions filed
with the right material for the promotion
of this object.
The la:e Minister at the Hague is
deemed especially fitted to represent us at
Madrid, because Of his connection with
TIE Rothschilds, and other great bankers
Of Europe, through whose influence or aid
Spain is expected 10 be forced to part with
Cuba. The anticipated means Of produ-
cling such result are to be found in the
immense foreign debt of Spain-controll-
ed chiefly by the Rothschids-and a
proposition to compel her to raise the
money to take them up or pay up The in-
terest. Under pressure it is supposed she
may be compelled to sell the island of Gu
ba in order to raise the necessary funds.
1t would seem perfectly safe 10 predict
the utter failure Of this policy, when we
remember how little disposition Spain
manifests to pay any portion Of her $780,
100000 Of Bonds, on a large part Of
which she even fails to pay the interest
The Sls5, ,o00,O 900 which Mr.. Buchanan
is willing to pay for Cuba, would scarcely
be drop in the bucket towards settling
the foreign debt of Spain; and the Roths,
childs, practical men as they are, will see
at a glance that even il Spain should &C.
cept the offered price for her island, she
would invest it in railroads and other inter
T nal improvements something that Tho
Government could show to the people il
f exchange for the Cuban revenue, and no
in reducing debt which be SO much more
) easily repudiated. Mr.. Belmont, howev
er, will be permitted to make the effort.
Mr. Soule considers that the day for th,
acquisition of Cuba has passed, and tina
it cannot be accomplished by purchase 70
; along time to come, If ever. He has hat
/ abundant facilities for forming a corec
!. opinion upon this poirt, and events wi
probably vindicate his conclusions.

AGRoUNDLEss AND HEARTLESS
TAUNT.

We fnd the follOvingia the Richmond
Ea3Virer, Of Nov, 9th:
cit will be seen from The account Of a
rebelious demonstration on the part ofthe
unemployed laboren Of New York, that
there IS trouble brewing ia that CITY. The
winter has not yet set in, aud already we
hear the threat Of mob-violenee from men
Of stout hearts aud stalwart arms. At the
South there is no such elamor; aud it eau
not be. The hungered ions Of ".ree So

that the muIteriBg thuBders, DOW fOFebo-
ding a frighlful storm in the Northern cit

until the country is startled with the din OF
revolution worthy The Partisan pOpulace.
But there are alarming indications"
This is sufficiently Learlless and impu.
dent to be characteristic Of Southern Jour
nalism. Il is bearlless because the writer,
notwithstanding bis hypoeritical expression
of "trust," evidently exulls in the anticipa.
led danger to ''free sOciely,''-and the
comparison implied between free society
at the North, aud slave society at the
South, is impudently false, because mo.
ments thought will show to any intelli.
gent mind a condition Of things at the
South, far worse than anything existing,
or even foreboded at the North. Has the
writer Of that article forgotten the thrill o.
terror which passed through the Soutl
when there was an attempt made in Ten
nessee, within the past year, by the alabor
ling classes" to cut the throats Of the en-
ltire white population? Has be forgotten
that constant night-patrol has to be kep
up throughout the entire South, in orde
to prevent the ''hungry lions" Of slave so
ciety from delugiug the land with tn
; blood of their oppressOrsl If so, wer
better, hereafter, to rememberand be silent
And il would also be well for all TO re
member that the PROFESSIONS Of laborers i
