MADISON'S TOMB.x

Great God, and is 1t thus that freemen revere
Aspot where the gifted is wrapped In repose
Allowing the weeds of oblivion drear,
To spring forth, where, in beauty should blossom
the rose?
What! shall the pride Of our dear, native land,
slumber neglected amid beauty and pleasure,
UNMARKED by stone where the stranger may stand
And muse DER the mound that encloscs treasure
All! comes there no memories bright, from the past,
No feeling of love to its home in your breast;
That the equal Of Kings must sumber at last
Forgotten, and all lonely in his tireless rest?
Slaves, afar DER the ocean, laugh MS to scorn,
And mockingly point to our unhonored dead;
Not SO would 1t be, if King he'd been born,-
Yet more than King sleeps in his weed-tuft bed
Then raise the snowy marble proudly on high,
And let the choicest flowers shed there perfume;
And the cypress and Willow wave on the sky,
Like broad banners of love, DER Madison's tomb.
Vallecito, September, 1858. ALrn
*The tomb Of President Madison is said to be so OBJ.
scured by weeds and brars that it Is almost impossible
to recognize it. IL this be true it is foul blot upon

Kcntish true blue,
Take this as a token,
That what is said here
Under the rosa i enot n,

In the absence of satisfactory evidence
of any other origin, it may be regarded as
tolerably certain that the phrase had the
NEUROLOGICAL origin last mentioned. 1t is
the white rose to which allusion is made.
The rose which Harpocrates held in his
hand was white, and it was the white rose
that Byron, in "The Bride of Abydos," !"
renders sacred to the silence of the tomb.
He says that over the tomb of Zuleika
"a single rose is shedding
Its lovely lustre, meek and pale;
1t looks as planted by despair
So white. so faint, the slightest gale
Might whiH the leaves OIL high"

ures OF annoyance or of defense were
adopted in secret conclave at one or the
other OF these taverns, everything secret
was said to be done "under the roses"
8. 1t is certain, however, that the ross
was the emblem of secrecy long before
confessionals were established, or Yorkers
and Lancasterians plotted against each
other. Harpocrates, or the Roman God
of Silence, was represented as young
man, with one finger placed on his lips
and rose in the other hand. 1t was
said that Cupid gave him the rose to bribe
him from betraying the amours of Venus.
The ancients therefore sculpturcd rose
over the doors or on the ceilings of their
festive halls, as hint to the guests that
nothing which was said in moments of
conviviality was to be repeated elsewhere.
Some instances of the same practice are
to be found in modern buildings. 1t was
in the pavilion of an Amsterdam burgo-
masters country seat, and beneath a
stucco rose which ornamented the ceiling,
that William Ill communicated to his
host and another burgomaster his inten-
ded invasion of England. In the dining
room of the "Bear Club" in Birming-
ham, England, there was once carved
rose In the centre of the ceiling under
which it is said that the ,Jacobite menu
bers of the Club, in its early days, used
to drink as their first toast, 1.-THE health
of the King (under the rose, J" meaning
the pretender. In the hall of Lexington
Castle, in Kent, was to be seen, few
years ago, and perhaps still, carving of
rose surrounded by an Inscription as

PUBLIC EXPENDTrUREs.-Thc supporters of
the administration have cndcavored, in yari-
Gus ways, to defend Mr.. Buchanan against
the charges of extravaganza, but the facts
are too stubborn TO be resisted The appro-
priations made by the third session of the
Thirty-fourth Congress, for the fiscal year
ending the 3oth of June, 1858, amount
TO SI2, ll2,29S. According TO the table pub
lished in the Union, and incorporated into
Mr.. Lctchcr'S speech, further appropriations,
TO supply deficiencies in that years cxpendi-
lures were made 10y Congress at the late seS-
ton, amounting TO $40, s96. l3l. Add these
two sums together, aud VIC have a grand to-
tai of Ss3,OOs, 429, appropriated for the first
fiscal year Of Mr.. Buchanan administration
"a sum exceeding, by about eighteen MIL
lions, the unprecedented expenditures Of the
year ending the 3Oth of June, 1857.

M. A correspondent calls our attention
TO our imperfect synopsis of Judge Hovey's
speech at the Court House in this city, and
says VIC did the Judge injustice in our re-
port by leading the reader to suppose that
Judge Hovey said the ultra Federal notions
uttered by Bright in his speech in regard to
the power of Congress TO legislatc for the
Territories, were identical with the doctrines
of the Republican platform. Judge Hovey
did not attribute any such views to the Re
publicans, and if our version of his remarks
bears such construction, it is erroneous
lie collated the section Of the Republican
platform adopted at Philadelphia in 1856 in
relation 10 the powers Of Congress over the
Territories, with portions of Brights speech,
and showed plainly that the Lecompton
Autocrat of Indiana, is preaching doctrines
now that he CONDEMNED the Republicans fol
maintaining in 1856. lie further went on
TO show that the doctrines now maintained
by Bright led directly to consolidation and
were more ultra Federal in their consequent
ces than any proclaimed by Alexander Ham
ilton but he attributed none of these blue
light Federal views 10 the members Of the
Republican party. They never in the high
est excitement against the Kansas-Nebraska
act, expressed sentiments so paradoxieal as
the present Federal doctrines of Bright

Arcadia.

Bayard Taylor has visited Arcadia, the
ancient Greek Paradise, the land of poetry,
music, pastoral blessedncss, sporting nymphs
and spouting fountains. Here is his picture
of it: .ce
On approaching Tripolitza, we came upon
the great central plain of Arcadia; whichis
between two and three thousand feet above
the level of the sea- Here the season was
nearly month later than on the plain of
Argos, and the country had a gray, wintry,
look There is no sufficient drainage for
this plain, and hence parts of it are marshy
and miasmatic. One to whom poetry has
made the name of Arcadia golden sound,
the key TO landscapes of ideal loneliness,
skies of perpetual spring, and pure and
happy race of men, will be bitterly disap-
pointed as be descends from the guSty Par
thenian Hills In this bleak region, sur
rounded by cold, naked mountains, with its
rough barbaric Slovenian population, and
! its filthy den of capital, he will not recog-
nize one feature of the Arcadia Of his
Dreams But so il is; the ssbelia eta DER
/ orc of Tasso aud Hcsiod never existed,
and never can exist, and Arcadia, which is
| for US the musical name of beautiful I'M
possibility, signifies no more to the modern
Greek than Swan pscJt or n ,boygan.
Descending to the floor of the valley, we
rode over the oozy turf to Sinanu, scatter
ing town, with broad, grassy streets. We
met many shepherds in shaggy sheep-skin
capotes and with long crooks in their hands
The people came in body to the dirty little
/ cafe " here pe lalfady ;-----ss sTssI az uS
Three or four spruce young palikarS offered
/ to accompany US to the theatre MegalopoliS
which is about half mile to the north Of
the town. As Francois had told them thai
| spoke both ancient and modern Greek
they piled me with questions the whole way
and was Sorely troubled to keep up my
reputation for scholarship. These people
were almost entirely of Slavonic blood
which is, no doubt, the rredominating Gle
ment in Greece. Groups OF villagers sat il

her to put it in the coffee pot and she would
have her revenge for the whipping. The
boy and girl are in prison. Mrs. Pope is in

pas- The usual depth of rain that falls in

gate quantity Of rain that falls. One see
ton Of a continent may sometimes get a
little more than its share and another less
but it is usually pretty equally distributed
From the first Of May to the 18th Of June,
this year, the quantity of rain that fell over
nearly the whole snrface of the United States
was about ! 5 inches. Here it was greater.
Thus more than one third of the rain of a
year fell in 43 days. There can hardly be
a doubt that we will, during the remainder
of the year have an equivalent amount OF
dry weather, and it is reasonable to look for
dry summer and fall, and probably very
