LOVES YOUNG DREAM.

How oft the tired mind itself will rest fest
On romance tales OF grounds where ghosts In
Or how the hero bold his fellow killed,
Is reading which our very blood has chilled,
Or of some strange and thrilling incident
OF loving hearts and how their evenings spent
In some sequestered spot, by silver stream,
Or shady wood through which young moon
beams gleam.
The smiles to show, and vows to solemnize
Which each to other gave with tear-moist eyes.
El.ta, the youthful mind, such tales will trace
AS the Philosopher, through distant space
The course of some lone wandering start
Until excited so, hugh worlds from far, Z
II omnipotent, would hurl to him, Esin,
With all their joyes and hopes though free from
Who would such rapturous sweets on him be-
As he supposed those few alone to know.
Where Ia the youth who has not sighed and
wept, af
And oil night long, for weeping, has not slept,
Because he doubted that this earth could give,
such joys supreme to those who on it live,
And oft he thought " I'D change milliea worlds
Evr laon.eIiry Sscn, sncusl they De rich WIN

knew youth, and handsome maiden well,
Their wishes Oft, for seasons such would tell,
Tie LAD was known by name of Robertson;
His age l judge not more than twenty-one.
The maid, by Preist, was chrstened Evaline
: Srce which the rose had bloomed its nineteenth
time. [.sCousin''
The LAD, had scores Of "Uncle," !" "Aunt," and
And circled round his fathers hearth dozen.
His father chose in country to reside ,...,
Txrx nd vnl> in fharr IL
He had manly mein--a heart so warm
Such as is seldom found save on farm. a
The evils Of the town he knew were great,
And epidemic like and sad the fate ss-
OF those must be, except by chance, who there
Were reared, compelled to breathe polluted air.
So reasoning thus" my children if I save
From ruin, and premature grave Gtrod,
And walk the virtuous path which patriarchs
An honor to my country and my Cod;
Myself away from city din must take, sT
And dwell beside a peaceful stream, or lake,
Where quietude sits like the dove on nest |; ..5rs
And all declare the place supremely blest."
The father knew, if he the mind could store
And tender keep the heart, he would do more
Than leave legacy of land on land, 30. s.5
Or gold uncountable as sea-shores sand. &
So thus grew up the youthful Robertson,
mid all the joys that flow from rural home,
And often when, u npained, was dying day
And softly falling round fair Cynthia's ray,
Stealing away, unheard, unseen he'd stroll,

In another column we give telegraphic alb
straet Of Gov. Walkers address to the people Of
Kanzas, preliminary to his assumption for the
pubernatorial office. This is taking the New
York Herald's Washington correspondent as au-
thority as to the purport of the address, which
will not be delivered or made public till the new
Governor arrives in the territory. 1t will be no
tiesd that ii takes the ground attributed to him.
that the constitution to he framed for Kanzas by
the spproaching convention, should be submitted
70 the people, and should be client upon slavery
that the Legislature should have charge of the
matter of excluding or admitting it. Gov. Walker
implores the free State men to take part in the
convention.
Then notice how periodically the Governor
touches upon Nebraska, soon to become a
State, and upon the great and future slaUehol9-
eng Indian territory The South, soon, he hopes,
to become a State, aided and encouraged By the
Stateof Kansas."
Here we see Gov. Walkers real rympathies,
and the real object of his LAHORE, viz to get slaUe
State on the South Of Kan=qs, at all hazards,
whether Kanzas have pro-slavery or an an anti
slavery constitution, and he thinks the latter can
be easily made lro-slavery State through the
action of the Legislature, if things are managed
right

BRANDY-Hs MangGctare.-The following
account, from the Toronto Coloapist, of the death
Of aman from tasting poison used in manufac-
turing brandy from raw spirits, conveys its own
moral
" At about eleven o'clock Thursday morning, a
clerk in the employ of Mr.. Wright, liquor manu-.
faGturer, at Brampton, left the store for the pur-
pose Of manufacturing quantity of brandy from
raw spirits. He took with him preparation
used for this purposs-by some called essence of
wine, and by others essence of brandy. The pre-
paraton was placed on the table in the warehouse,
and the deceased, (Mr, Morlis,) after preparing
portion of the liquor, returned to the store and
took glass Of ale with some friends from Toron-
s.. He had scarcely returned to his former occu.
patton more than five minutes before the porter
ran into the store in great alarm, exclaiming,
Mr.. Morris has been tasting the essence of bran
dy, and it has killed him. On those present run
ming to the spot, it found that the report was
too true the sufferer had inadvertently tasted a
few drops of the drug, which is nearly allied to
prussic acid, and instant death was the conse,
quence of the unhappy mistake. An inquest was
hsla in the afternoon but the verdict of the Jury
was not given at the time the cars left Brampton
Mr.. Morrir was a very well educated young man,
Of highly respectable family in GloucesteTshire,
England. -

HoRRID DEvELoPMENTs.- The Charlotte
On. CD Democrat gives the particulars of a
horrible affair which has recently been devel-
oped at Concord, Mecklenburg county. in
that State. 1t appears that quack doctor
Nugent has been in the habit of digging up
newly buried bodies from their graves for the
purpose of extracting medicinal properties
from their flesh and bones The revelation
was made by man whom Nugent applied to
Tor assistance in his horIid work, and, on in
Yestlgation, it was found that some bodies re.
Gently inferred had been removed from their
narrow homes This discovery caused deep
sensation, and it was determined to inhict
summary punishment upon Nugent; but on
visiting his house, he was found very sick,
and in dying condition = but whether
1t was caused from the effects of poison,
taken from fear of public vengeance, or from
disease contracted by handling dead bodies,
is not known. Nugent died, but before his
death said that he had exhumed about sixteen
dead bodies, and after using them for making
medicine, had burned the flesh, collins and
everything, to escape detection, His ash pile
was examined, and teeth and bones found
therein. His theory appears to have been
that medicine could be made by boiling the
liver of human being that would cure liver
complaint; and so with regard to other dis
eases. Nugent also diyulged the names of
several accompGces, one of whom. named
Boyle, has been arrested and committed to
jail

THE THEATRE-Last Night Of the Season.
The Worcester Theatre will close for the season,
tonight, with a complimentary benefit to Mr.
William Piper, the proprietor of the Theatre, to
whose enterprise and capital the public are in
debted for the erection of theatre in this city
which is in all respects credit to the place. We
say that Mr.. Piper deserves well of his fellow cit.
liens, for the energetic and liberal manner in
which he has carried forward this novel and haz.
ardous enterprise of furnishing a suitable temple
for dramatic entertainments, and we trust that
the play-going portion of the community will
show their appreciation of his earnest and sue
cessful endeayors, by crowding the seats of the
Theatre this evening. The bill of performances
is one of great excellence. In the character of
Richeleu," Mr.. Marshall has no superior, and
the whole performances present an admirable bill
for closing night.
The play of Julius Cesar was performed
last evening, for Mr.. MarshalPs benefit, to
crowded house.

A GREAT HAUL.-On Sunday night, about
twelve O'Clock, Assistant Marshal Denny and
Captain Reed, assisted by seven watchmen, made
descent upon suspicious house at the West
end of Elm street, kept by Que Thomas W. Joy,
in which were found persons of a rather dubious
character Watchmen we've posted at each door,
to prevent escape, and Mr.. Denny and three 9TH
ers entered just as person opened the door to
leave. One couple, Catherine Harmon and Will
liam Marrow, were found .fagrante delicto, who'
with three other females, and joy got lodgings
in the watch house for the remainder of the night

more in the house, and allowed them to depart
We reserve the publication of more of the names

young CITY,
A despatch received at Washington,
states that the health of Senator Butler, of
South Carolina, is very precarious, and his
death daily expected.
The cash receipts of the New York
Herald and N. Y. Times for the month of
March, are stated at $93 900. Of this amount
$50, 900 was received for advertising, and the
balance from circulation.
The New Orleans Times states that
young gentleman in that city lost some
$47 900 at fashionable game few days
since. He paid every dollar of it the next
day, and left the city ruined man.
Official dispatches recently received
at Washington, warrant the belief that Brig.
ham Young has fled from Utah, as 1t is known
that he was in treaty with the Indians for safe
conduct through the country. Elk Justice
Drummond has arrived at Washington, for
consultation on the affairs of the territory.
An OK, belonging to Otis Doolittle of

Much interest is excited in Washington by
the arrival of Hon. w, w. Drummond, late
Judge of Utah territory, who is now guest
of Browns Hotel, in that city, 1t seems to
be we'll understood that Judge Drummond
will be rendered the office of Governor of
Utah in case Major McCulloch declines, and
have it from the Judge himself, that he will
accept upon condition that Gen: Harvey is
sent into that country with force sufficient
to enable the officers to enforce the laws. In
case Gen. HaIney and Judge Drummond go

mons will yield, or compelled to find refuge
in another country. They are both cautious
and bold men. The best informed here, in
regard to Utah affairs, do not credit the story
of Brigham Young's flight.
A letter from federal officer at Salt Lake
City, dated March s.. states that Arapeen, the
Pah- Utah Indian. chief had been in and stated
that Brigham Young was urging him to ac-
company him in an expedition which he was
about to make somewhere to the North. No
body seemed to know the object of the expe-

Young, contemplated a trip somewhere dur.

some three hundred men. One rumor was,
that they intend to take possession of Bitter.
Root Valley, in Washington Territory
Another rumor, and the more probable, is that
they were going into the Indian country, to
endeaEor to excite the natives to Join them in
resisting anticipated attacks from United
States troops. The vague report that Young
had fed the territory, probably grew out OF
these facts. 1t is understood that Turner Mel

of Mrs. Robinson, of the girls department at the
Reform School, in Providence, says the Journal,
met with sad accident, on Saturday, at Water
ford. As he was attempting to step from the up
train of cars on the Worcester Railroad to the
down train on its passage his foot slipped he
fell, and the wheels passed over his right arm,
nearly severing it. He was brought down on the
train, and Dr. Brownell amputated it just below

He had monthly Hts of drunkenness, during

was its master. Early in life he was reported
to be worth $4,000, and had large shoe
business, but hating the gentler sex, and
avoiding their eleyating society, he sought
instead pleasure in an endless round of con-
yiyial designations, which at last reduced him
to friendlessness and poverty. For twenty
years past he has slept on the top of wooden
chest, the clothes he wore by day alone serv-
ing to keep him warm at night; bed scarce
ly less hard than the cold stone on which he
sank to his last sleep. His faithful dog was
the only mourner, following downcast and
dropping at a respectful distance when the
body was carried to its unhonored grave.

The CASE OF SAMUEL A. GooDR1cH.-In
the Municipal Court at Boston, on Saturday,
Mr.. Samuel d. Parker, counsel for Goodrich,
who is under Indictment for committing a
rape upon Ellen Desmond appeared and
moved for an immediate trial. Judge Abbott
remarked that as each of the jurors now on
duty had tried a case involving substantially
the same issue, and had returned verdiets,-
one of guilty and the other of not guilty, he
could not consider either of them as the prop
er tribunal to try the cause. He therefore
ordered that venire issue for a special jury
to come in on Thursday, 2lst inst, when the
case win probably be tried.
