BEACON OF LIBERTY IN FROZEN SOIITUDES.--ln
his northern expedition, Kane, the intrepid
searcher for Arctic mysteries, climbed the wes-
ternnhest promontory of Cape Littleton Island,and
wedging flag staff in the bleak rocks, gathered
his little company of explorers and gave three
cheers for the ensign of their native land as it
hoated in the midnight breeze. In the morning
they went on their way, looking back at the flag
Signalling the Adventures on through an arch
lpeago of ice foes to where the hidden secrets of
irost-land are revealed only by the Northern
Light. And there stood the emblem of liberty,
IN an empire of Silence, unbrOkeu save by the
CRY of the sea-bird and the believing of the
waves that smote the unyelding foundation stone
OF the watch-tower from which the whuddering
blasts of icy lattudes proclaimed liberty to all
the world And there, battling with Implying
storms, that glorious herald of freedom was torn
shred from shred by the fierce chariot-studs of
Eolus, as he swept down from the eternal gla-
ciers built in the gloom OF unknown time. What
American would not gather from the bleak stones
and consecrate with his blood each fretted fibre
OF that Arctic signal, and standing ON the shift
ing sands proclaim to the waves COMING land
ward from uneXplored seas, that, even thew dare
not say to the flag Of his country 'Thus far shalt
thou go!'

THE BOLD NORTH WIND.

The North wind comes like king In his might,
And low lie the leaves in the path of his flight!
To scatter the flowers, the waters to bind,
With spoilers power, comes the bold North
wind
Aye, rushing he comes from his sway in the
north
His presence with glee is trumpcted forth
The mountain stands bare, and the tall tree
quakes
In the desolate path the North wind makes
He howls round cot where, sad and alone,
A maiden sits by the cold hearth-stone;
While her thoughts 90 forth where the heart.
strings twined,
She lists to the song of the bold North wind.
I've come, sang the wind, to your cot once
more,
And laugh to see how the tear-drops flow,
For love to look on where pure hearts break,
And spirits bow down, as my course take
'Ua! hal know that thou art writhing now,
by the deep'ning shades on that once high brow
llark hark to the storms how wildly they rave,
And heap the cold SHOWS on thy mothers grave!
Ha quailest thou so at the North wind Is breath
When he chaunts to thee Of that loved ones
DEATH
He hath other notes he will sing with glee,
As he wakes the chords of thy memory.
Remeniberest thou when bright, manly eye
Was bent on thee maiden, and thine made reply
The garlands of love entwined thy fond heart
Oh, where are they now, when lonely thou art
'Ay, cover yet lower his falsehood know
A recreant now to the vows he swore;
Thy hopes lie all crushed, and thy dark eyes
play
Like meteor s fash hath faded away.

And cold is his heart, ay, colder than those
Who are slumbering now in the graves repose
And dark is his life, ay darker than night

THE BLIND SPECTRE-In the interior of Penn
sylvania there is a deserted farm house, concern
ing which the neighbors, descendants Of Scotch
Presby tell dismal and superstitious so
ries They say it is haunted family once
lived there who had an idiot girl that gave the
parents great trouble and modification. One
day the mother struck her on the head gith a fire
shovel; the girl went blind from the effect of
the blow and soon afterwards died. Ever since,
the neighbors tell of some one having seen blind
spectre cropping along the wall and falling down
the staircase, with its hands pressed on its head.
OF course it is an idle story, and people tell it
only as legend, but nobody lives in the house,

DEAD-Our bright little friend the Sacramen-
20 fac is dead, and we have heard of its death
with profound sorrow. After the Ages demise it
seems useless to try to make a newspaper live
there on the merit of talent. Outside of local at
tempts at rivalry, the Age was acknowledged the
best of all Californis journals, but Sacramento is
not the place for the rapid growth of letters ;
mangel wurzel, ruta- bagas and the State Journal
are more indigenous, like. In that city of $4,000
people, it is not probable that any of the jour
mslS has circulation of l,000-most of them not
half that. They are not reading people, taken
good people, law and time abiding not to be
disturbed IN their enjoyment of sunshine by any
thing short OF the levee giving way. Each pur-
sues his particular phantom with sleepy steadi-
iness which characterized the movements and
mental operations of Sleepy Hollow. Unless the
levee breaks very early in the morning the Sac
ramentans will not get into Judgment in time for
an equitable apportionment Of milk and honey
and fire and birthstone. But after all, it is a
beautiful city, containing some of the best peo
pie we ever knew. 1t is city of groves and
gardens-a parterre of flowers fat girls, lean
gospel, big meshanic' potatoes and little news
paper men, lawyers distinguished in calaboose
practice, and politicians who, innocent of the
contagon of silver, grow fat and sleek and sleepy
at the feeding though of the Orleans. Blessed,
doing, imperturbable Sacramento AT the gen
eral consummation, she will hear the last of the
racket, and turning over, like the sleepy Dutch
man whom his Industrious wife attacked with the
freshovel, will exclaim, Oh, mine Cots vat

EVERY YEAR Oh the spring hath less of
brightness every year, and the snow ghastlier
whiteness every year; nor do summer blossoms
quicken, nor does autumn's fruitage thcken as it
did-the seasons sicken every year.
'lt is growing colder, colder, every year, and
feel that am older every year and my limbs
are less elastic, and my fancy not so plastic-yes,
my habits grow monastic every year.
''Tis becoming bleak and bleaker every year,
and my hopes are waxing weaker every year
care | now for merry dancing, or Tor eyes with
passion glancing love is less and less entrancing
every year.
ooh, the days have squandered every year,
and the friendships rudely sundered every year
of the ties that might have twined me, until Time
to Death resigned me, my infrmities remind me
every year.

The Desire to Know the Future.

We have often heard persons say that if the
book of the future were unsealed and laid before
them, they would open it and read their destiny,
and we believe that majority of men and wo-
men would. They might, perhaps, shrink from
the revelation at first, the prophet hid his face
when the mysterious fire burned before him with
out consuming; but curiosity and inborn love of
mystery would, at last, induce them to read, even
at the peril of lifelong despair. The Greeks
had oracles located in deep forests at the sources
of rivers, on desolate mountains and in gloomy
caves, from which, through the contrivances OF
cunning priests, prophecies of the future were
uttered in language so ambiguous that, whatever
might occur, it would, apparently, have some re-
lation to the response of the oracle. No great
enterprise was undertaken without first consult
ing the oracle; some times the responses came
from a sacred oak, or were interpreted from
sounds produced by beating brazen cauldron; at
another place answers were given by priestess,
after inhaling vapor from tissue in sacred
rock dreams, visions, preturnatursl voices, the
extraordinary flight of birds, and even trivial
and common occurrences were made to declare
the will of the gods, and what was about to take
place So firm was the peoples belief in the
truth of these supernatural revelations that Eu-
sebius declares coo heather authors wrote against
them without affecting the popular credulity.
The same author asserts that oracles ceased at
the birth of Christ; but other authorities prove
that they were consulted $50 years after that
event.
Later nations and ages have had their prophets
and sooth-sayers, persons gifted with second sight
aud fortune.telers, until now, when profession
of powers of divination might provoke ridicule,
we send explorers among the mysteries of the
future under the refined name of "clarvoyants'
or " clear see-ers." We have also, among intel
ligent people, legitimate &" necrOmancers" or
" dead prophets" who profess to hold converse
with the spirits of the dead, and who thus unfold
the mysteries of futurity.
the elements are made subservient to mans will,
and when men of learning, having explored the
mysteries of earth, are studying the geography
of the planets, and naming new born stars, the
same superstition which we are wont to rldicue
in the history of the ancients, exists among us,
almost the same in kind and scarcely less in de-
gree. Surely no greater evidence of the lmmo-
raity of the soul is needed than that i'll all ages,
from the time when Grecian warriors trembed
under the quaking leaves of Dodona to our day
when little circle of necromancers grew pale In
the imaginary presence of restless ghosts, heaven
itself speaking in the oratorio of the human soul,
points out an hereafter and ntimates eternity
to man."
