POETICAL.
L4NDIYG 0F THE PILGRLT E4THER5.
WRITTEN BY MRS. HEMANS.

WRITTEN BY MRS. HEMANS. The breaking waves dashed high On a stern and rock bound coast, And the woods against q stormy sky Their giant branches tost; And the heavy night hung dark The hills and waters OCT, When band of exiles moored their bark On the wild New England shore Not as the conqueror comes, They, the truG-hcartcd, came; Not with the roll of stirring drums, And the trumpet that sings of fame; Not as the flying, come,
 In silence and in fear They shook the depths of the deserts gloom With their hymns of lofty cheer. Amidst the storm they sang. And the stars heard and the sea And the sounding aisles of the dim wood rang To the anthems of the free. Tie ocean-cagle scared
 From his nest by the white waves foam, And the rocking pines of the forest roared- This was their welcome home. There were men with hoary hair Amongst that pilgrim-hand; Why had they come 10 wither there, Away from their childhood's land? There was woman's fearless eye, Lit by her deep love- truth: There was manhood's brow screnely high, And the fiery heart of youth. What sought they thus afar? Bright jewels of the mine? The wealth of seas, the spells of war; They sought faith pure shrine. Ay, call it holy ground, The soil where first they trod! They have left unstained what there they found :; Freedom to worship God
 IF THE DOOR "Who is it knocks this stormy night? Be very careful of the light -
 The good man said 10 his wife,
 And thc good wife went to The door; But never again in all his life,
 Will the good man see her more. For he who knocked that night was Death; And the light went out with d little breath And the good man will miss his wife,
 Til he too goes to the door,
 When Death will carry him up to life,
 To betold her face once more.

RELIGIOUS MATINEss.-A new fashion has hcen introduced in the < high society" of Paris. Private theatricals and private con- certs are known as among the most piquant amusements of the fashionable world, but the Parisians have invented private preaching. Cards of invitation for a matinee reiigcue are issued, aspulpit Is erected in the drawing-room, and one of the most popular preachers is se- cured, just as at a musical party the pet sin ger of the town is often obtained. Sometimes rival entertainments of this nature occur on the same morning, and then the strife is be- tween the hostesses, which shall proffer the most tempting inducement, and which shall succeed in drawing the largest crowd.

Nix. RAREY TAMEs AN IRIsu MARE. The London News, in an. account of Rarey' $ last exhibition in the Handel Dorchester. Lon don, says
 "When the chesnut had been duty hob blcd, tumbled and otherwise done for, the whole trasept suddenly became vocal with the
 nearthly screams of the Irish mare. who was about to receive her first initiation into the re- straints ofa civilized manage This animal. which was rather dingy gray, Was evidently ofgrcat power. She lashcd, kicked, bit, and appealed with all the traditional eloQuence of her country for justice to ireland We cer- taiuly never heard so much bowling from a horse, and did not believe that even an Irish one could have managed it; but perhaps the fact of this animal being of the softer sex may account for her extraordinary excitement and yoIubility
 "But 1t was all of no use Mr. Rarcy wiped his forehead pulled out his strap, and waited his opportunity. The leg was soon up, and the mare soon down. but not without the execution of one of her national melodies, with brilliant variations, which brought down thundors oiappiause. Several times during the process of teaching she seemed quite ready to eat her preccptcr 50 that it was quite relief to the audience when she was it last made to bite the dust feat which she certainly performed with the most demonstrative vim dictiyeness. Having gone through the whole lesson, she was at last released, when she re- tired model ofgrayity and decorum, and eyi dently with her mind filled with perfectly new ideas on the bjects of kicking, scraming anC biting in general"

BRIEF AccoUNT OF THE KoRAN.-The Mohommedan Bible was written at different periods, about A. D. 6l0 in the Koreish Arabec, and this fine language was pretonded to be that of Paradise MohammeI asserted that the Koran was revealed to him, during a period of twenty-three years, by the angel Gabriel. The style of the volume is beau tiful, fluent and concise; and is sometimes sublime Mohammed admitted the divine mission, both of Moses and of Jesus Christ Gibbon said, that the faith which Mohammod preached is compounded of an eternal truth and fiction, namely, that there is only one God and that Nohammed is the apostle of God. The Koran was translated into Latin, in HAS and into English and European languages about l753. It is a rhapsody of 3090 verses divided into III sections

TIE OLD CoIN MANIA.-The Salem Massachusetts, Observer reports that a gen. tleman in that city, who is in the " old coin" line, recently sold to collector in Hartford a copper cent for seventy-fve dollars. It was the coin known as the Higley copper" the first copper cent of Connecticut, dated 1737, and struck by blacksmith named Higley But three specimens of this ancient coin are known to be in existence, and being thus rare, it readily commands the high price paid for .his one of the three.

A SUBTERRANEAN ToRRENT.-Last Fri day evening, says The Pittburg Chronicle, just as the men had ceased drilling for the day. at Kissick Pryson's well, on the Ma honing river, ouc-toUth of mile above Ed inburg, they heard d rubbing in the bowels of the earth, and in an instant afterward tor rent of mud and water rushed forth, covering the floor and shed erected over the work to the depth of foot or more. The workmen left in hurry, and one of them returning a short time atterward with lighted candle, to see the extent of the damage done, the gas from the well ignited, setting fire to the del- rigks and other wood work in an instant, and was only cxtinguished after a good deal of hard labor and considerable loss to the pro- Irietors So far as we have learned, no one was injured
