THE USES OF HISTORY.
BY WASHINGTON IRVING.

How vain, how hceting, how uncer-
tain are all those gaudy bubbles after
which we are painting and tolling III
this world Of fair delusion ! The
wealth which the miscr has amassed
with so many weary days, SO many
sleepless nights, a spendtlritt heir
may squandcr away III joyless prodl-
gality The noblcst monuments which
pride has ever reared to perpetuatc a
name, the hand Of time will shortly
tumble into ruins and even the bright,
est laurels, gained by feats Of arms,
may withcr and be forever blighted
by the chilling neglect Of mankind
How many illustrious heroes,
says the good Bnthius, "who We're
once the pride and glory of the age,
hath the silence Of historians buried
in eternal oblivion !" And this 1t was
that induced the Spartans, when they
went to battle, solemnly to sacrifice
to the Muses., supplicatlng that their
achievements should be worthily re-
corded. Had not Homer tuned his
lofty lyre, observes the elegant Cicero,
the valor Of Achilles had remained I'M
sung. And such, too, after all the
tolls and periis he had braved, after
all the gallant actions he had achieved,
such too had nearly been the fate OF
the chivalric Peter Stuyvesant, but
that fortunately stepped in and en-
graved his name on the indelible tab
let of history, just as the caititf Time
was silently brushing it away forever.
The more | reflect, the more am |
astonished at the important character
of the historian. He is the sovereign
censor to decide upon the renown or
infamy Of his fellow-men-he Is the
patron OF Kings and conquerors, on
whom it depends whether they shall
live in after ages, or be forgotten, as
We're their ancestors before them. The
tyrant may cypress while the object
OF his tyranny exists, but the histo.
rian possesses superior might, for his
power extends even beyond the grave
The shades of departed and long.

forgotten heroes anxious1y bend down
from above, while he writes, watching
each movement of his pen, whether it
shall pass by their names with neg
lect, or inscribe them on the deathlcss
pages of renown. Even the drop of
ink that hangs trembling on his pen,
which he may either dash upon tho
floor or waste in idle crawlings-that
very drop, which to him is not worth
the twentieth part of farthing, may
be Of incalculable value to some de-
parted worthy-may elevate half a
score in one moment to Immortality,
who would have given worlds, had
they possessed them, to insure the gly.
rlOus need.
Let not my readers imagine, how
ever, that am indulging in vain-glori.
Gus boastings, or am anxious TO blazon
forth the Importance Of my tribe. On
the contrary, | shrink when l reflect
on the responsibility we historians as.
sume-I shudder to think what dire
tul connections and calamities we &C.
casion i'll the world--I swear to thee,
honest reader. as l am a man, weep
at the very idea
Why, let ME ask, are so manv illus.
trious men daily tearing themselves
away from the embraces of their fam.
ilies-slighting the smiles of beauty,
despising the allurcmcnts of fortune,
and exposing themselves to the mis-.
cries of war? Why are kings DESC
latng empires and depopu!ating whole
countries? In short, what induces all
great men, Of all ages and countries,
to commit so many victories and mis-
deeds, and inttict so many miserics
upon mankind and on themselves. but
the mere hope that some historian will
kindly take them into notice, and ad.
nit them into a corner of his volume.
For, in short, the mighty object of all
their tolls, their hardships and priva.
tiOns, is nothing but immortal fame.
And what is immortal fame Why.
half a page of dirty paper Alas
alas how humiliating the idea-that
the renown Of so great a man as Peter
Stuyvesant should depend upon the
pen Of so little man as Dicdrich
knickcrbocker

they were void, and 50 it is, has been,

laws passed by that Territory, if they
conflict with the Constitution or laws
Of the United States, are void alb
Soiutcly; if they do neither, and are
municipal in their character they are
valid, and Congress with all it's power
cannot change these facts or prevent
these results They are iaeritaJic !;
the Harper essay cannot controvert
these propositions nor these results.
nut the SUBJECT Is not worthy of the
space we have given it. In conclu-
sion we say that We do not iudorse
the opinion Of the Supreme Court in
the bred Scott case yet it is good
authority with Mr. Douglas, and de-
stroys his whole theory--it leaves him
"o'h'Eg, and So far we say Amen. We
believe slavery to he a social and
moral evil that, in virtue of the fol-
lowing clause Of the Constitution of
the United States "Thc Congress
shall have power to make all ncedful
Jules and regulations respecting the
Frrritories," it is the duty Of Con-
-'"sS t" protect the Territory of the
OnIird states from the curse Of slave
ry. This are tcliers, Mr.. Douglas to
lhr contrary notwithstanding.

An Hour at the Old Play Ground.


sat an hour to-day. John,
Beside the old brook stream,
Where we were school bows in old time
When manhood was dream
The brook is choked with fallen leaves,
The pond is dried away
scarce believe that you would know
The dear old place to-day.
The school house is no more, John,
Beneath our locust trees:
The wild rows by the window side
No more waves in the breeze
The scattered stones look desOlate,
The sod they rested on
Has been ploughed up by stranger hand,
Since you and were gone,
The chestnut tree Is dead, John,
And whlt is saddcr now
The broken grapevine Of our swing
Hangs on the withcred bough
read our names upon the bark
And found the pebbles rare
Laid up beneath the hollow side
As We had piled them there.
Beneath the grass grown bank, John,
looked for our old spring,
That bubbled down the alder path,
Three PAGES from the swing.
The rushes grow upon the brink,
The pool Is black and bare,
And not foot this many g day,
1t seems, has trodden there.
Itook the old blind road, John,
That wandered up the hill
'Tis darker than it used to be,
And seems SO lone and still
