THE WORLDS INFATUATIoN,
BY FANNIE BELL


We are lingering on this chingefaI strand,
As tho earth forever, were our home;
Unconscious that our ife's at bes. a span
And reckless Of our futures inal DOOM
While seeking for wealth, for fame and power.
To the frail threads of life we cling
And tempests darkening, round us lower,
Each moment still, some anguish brings a.
We gaze amidst this worlds sciniiliant throug.
And deem all pleasure meath the skies, . -.
Whileev'ry action Of life is fraught with wrong
And treachery comes in every guise. zs
What are the joys that this vain world can glvei
While all Its happiuess is fringed with fears
Whati Is life though many years we lve7 at
But drinking the emp of repentancea and tears.
The world in all its exquisite loveiness,
May cheer each passing hour awhile ~
AS friendships chalms-and wild caress;
Re turns its countless many ,mes.
But when the shades of night around US steal,
Amidst the gathering clouds of closing day;l
A magic mirror to our memory reveals
Our life has been an idle play.
Yet still we love to linger on life's iowery way,
To catch feeble smile of fading joys
As if forever here We will stay;
TO trifie with esrth's guided toys. ttft
We know full we'll they cannot last %.
We know those precious hours are brief, @
nd when the changeful gadness of those Joys are
past ss5
What will soothe our woes or calm our grief?
Soon the transient visions of this life is DER
Soon our sun will set forever in the sky,
And sorrows tears shah fall nomore.
Fol tits our doom, that all must die;
What tho the ocean s tide unceasng roll y
And we with all life's joys are blest1
Soon the dread mystery of our fate is told,
Then meath the valley IS sod wen rest. ur

MISCELLANY.
THE WARRIOR MAIDEN.

Some time just before or about the be-
ginning of the war, Sergeant Jasper, OF
Marion's brigade, had the good fortune to
save the life of young, beautiful, and
dark eyed Creole girl, called Sally St.
Clair. Her susceptible nature was over
come with gratitude to her preserver, and
this soon ripened intoa passion of love OF
the most deep and feryent kind. She Law
ished upon him the whole wealth of her
affections, and the whole depth Of a passion
nurtured by southern sun. When he
was called upon to join the ranks of his
countrys defenders, the prospect Of their
separation almost maddened her. Their
parting came, but scarcely was she left
alone ere her romantic nature prompted
the means of their reunion. Once re-
solved, no consideration of danger could
dampen her spirit, and no thought of con
sequences could move her purposes. She
severed her long and jetty ringlets, and
provided hcrselfwith male attire In these
she robed herself and set forth to follow
the fortunes of her lover
A smooth faced, beautiful and delicate
STRIPPING appeared before the hardy, rough
and giant frames who composed the corps
to which Jasper belonged. The contrast
between the STRIPPING and these men in their
uncouth garbs, their massive faces, en-
Drowned and discolored by sun and plain
was indeed striking, But none were more
eager for the battle, or SO Indifferent to ia.
tigue, as the fair faced boy 's x
1t was found that his energy of character
resolution and courage amply supplied the
lack of physique, None ever suspected
him to be woman. Not even Jasper him
self, although she was often by his side
penetrated her disguise.
The romance of her situation increased
the fervor of her passion, 1t was her de
light to reflect that, unknown to him sh,
was by his side to watch over him in tn,
hour of danger. She fod her passion upor
him in the hour of slumber, lowering nea
him when stealing through the swamp anC
thicket, and being always ready to aver
danger from his head
But gradually there stole melanchol.
prcsentimcnt over the poor girls mind
She had been tortured with hopes defer

poct of being restored to him grew NOR
and more uncertain But now she felt tina
hOr dreams of happiness could never b
realized, She became convinced that dealt
was about to snatch her away from his side
but she prayed thst she might die and h'

her passion had led her.

CLAY MONUMENT.


The ceremonies of laying the corner
stone of the Clay monument at Lexing-
ton, on the 4th, were witnessed by AN
4innumerable throng.i The accounts in
the Kentucky papers are too lcngfor our
columns. We can only make room for the
following from the Louisville Journal. Tt
is an eloquent and touching allusion Ito
the mother of Henry Clay: 'i u2Ii
ia Itwas at the close of the long summer
twilight, while yet the western sky was
roseate and purple, that We entered the
lovely cnvirons of the famous old town Of
Lexington. To our lestwe could discern
the noble gateway leading into the "city
Of the Dead and through the thiokleaved
trees there stood. white and graceful in
the soft moonlight, the marble monuments
erected to the loved and lost. We re-
membered that just beyond these stately
and elegant mementos of the dead, beneath
the green turf, there reposed the remains
of that noble and glorious aud matchless
man in whose honor, the grand ceremonies
of the morrow were to be had. And there
beside him, we we'll remembered, lay the
mother who bore him to be the first of
citizens-the chief OF orators s-the saviour
of Republic. twas fit that they should
sleep thus side by side in the dreary tomb
THAT the mother who had given the fear
lessSenator to henations should receive back
| to her bosom, from weeping and bereft
millions, the son of her early love and
mature pride. There indeed parent and
child might have ever reposed with moth
ing to designate their resting place-the
soft turf above them, the tall trees whis-
peripg with tuncful leaves kind lpllably,
and the broad, boundless armament of the
heaven over archiRg the grave of him
whose name and fame are co-extcnsiye
with the world and destined to live and
brighten through all time.

Military Proceedings against tie Mormoas

WASHINGTON, July IL, 1857.
The administration are, at length, alive
to the necessity of crushing out the Nor
mons, as set Of vipers, while it is yet
within their power They are sensible
that the temporizing policy of the late ad.
ministration had the effect to give conf
dence to Brigham Young and his followers,
and encourage them to persist in trea-
sonable course towards the United States
The military arrangements have been
made with great skill, and with view tc
actual service, and to ample supplies for a
winter campaign. The veteran Lieutenant
General Scott and Quartermaster General
Jesup supcrintond these arrangements.
There is now no doubt that pro
cesscs against Brigham Young and others
for treason and felony will be issued, and
that they win be tried. The question be
tween the United States law and Mormon
Occupation will be settled whether with
or without force.
There is no doubt that Congress com
mitted a gross error when they constituted
for Utah a Territorial government They
had every reason to doubt the expediency
of permitting body of foreign fantics to
form government in the centre Of the
continent and on the route between the
Mississippi and the Pacific.
The Mormons, when they were expelled
from Nauvoo and plunged into the wilder
mess, intended to set up separate and
independent government and claim the
country as their own.
! Mr.. Vinton, of Ohio, opposed the Terri.
torial bill on this ground Mr.. v wished
then to subject the inhabitants of Utah
to the laws which regulate the unorganized
territory Of tho United States. 5.f
Every man in Utah is a squatter, and
is not antitled to preempton.
There is no preemption law which can
apply to Utah, so as to enable its inhabi-
tants to take up for preemption lands,
prior to their being surveyed, once offered
| for sale or entry. The matter is finally to
be settled by the repeal of the Territorial
act, or by attaching the whole Territory
in four separate parcels, to the contiguous
States and Territories, which can be done
under provision Of the act itself.
! Judge Bowlin, the late Minister to New
Grenada, has had several interviews with
the Secretary of State. He brings intel.
ligence Of an, important nature no change
having occurred in the situation of our af,
fairs with New Grenada.
President 0spina, however much dis
posed he may be toward an adjustment OF
the pending qestions, is not able to resist
the tide of popular prejudice against the
Americans,
I "PP'"iS ., W. ulid' Vie tIcdty -hiaAlug
power, according to the constitution OF
New Grenada, is not vested in the Presi-
dent, with the consent of the Senate, as is
the ease with the United States, but in the
popular branch of Congress also, and it
requires the concurrence of the President
the Senate, and the popular branch to
ratify treaty. a+a
This provision will render it exceeding.
ly difficult even to adjust the matter upon
our terms by treaty.
