HOME.
BY EMILY GRUB.


Upon q neat and pleasant COT,
My thoughts are conferred now,
Methinks | see my parents there,
A smile upon each brow
The church close by, where have been,
All pass in memory az if seen.
Along the path the chrystal spring,
The leaaess trees stand near,
Unrobed now OF their vcrdure green,
So lonely will appear,
To what they did when left home;
Oft meath their shade | sat alone
And the rich fields Of yellow corn,
The stacks of scented hay,
And cen the ruddy beam CT morn,
And the last lingering ray
OF the departing sun, that gilds
The golden tints Of trees and hills.
see the inmates of that place,
And wish that ! were there
That cot, my home, the best Of friends,
True, cherished and sincere
Aye true in joys serenest hour,
True when dark trouble yields her power
May they the good of life enjoy,
Health, happiness and ease,
Kind angels guard them lowering near,
And crown their lives with peace
Where er | am, Where'er | roam
May heaven bless my happy home

A Drnnkard,s Brains.

The startling doctrines taught in
" Youman's Basis of Prohibition" are
fully corroborated by the following pas
sage from the Boston Medical journal:
Hyti, by far the greatest anatomist
of the age, used to say, that he could
distinguish, in the darkest room, by one
stroke of the scapel, the brain of the in
ebriate from that Of the person who lived
soberly. Now and then he would con-
graduate his class upon the possession
of a druukard's brain, admirably fitted,
from its hardness and moro complete pre-
servation, for the purpose of demonstra-
ton. When the anatomist wishes to pre-
serve a human brain for any length Of
time, he effects his object by keeping
that organ in vessel Of alcohol From
soft, pulpy substance, it then becomes
comparatively hard but the inebratc
anticipating the anatomist, begins the
indurating process before death-begins
it while the brain remains the eonsecra-
ted temple of the soul-while its delicate
and gossamer tissues still throb with the
pulse of heaven-born light. Strange in
fa6Qation, thus to desccrate the godlike
Terrible onchantment, that dries up all
the fountains of generous feeling, petri-
Ges all the tonder dGmanities and sweet
charities of life, leaving only the brain
Of lead and heart of stone"

TnE REVISED CoDE. Bills Of Sale. -
The adoption Of the new code by tho
Legislature Of Maryland, materially chan
ges the mode Of making bills Of sale (;
it provides "that no bill Of sale or mort
gage Of personal property shall be valid,
except as between the parties, unless tho
bargainee or yendec or mortgage or some
ono Of them, or the agent Of some ono
Of them, shall make tho affidavit required
to be made by mortgages Of real estate.
aud snch affidavit may be mado at any
time before recording, and before any
person authorized to take the aclsnowl-
cdgmcnt Of such bill Of sale or mort
gage"
The Court or Appeals lately decided
that il was not necessary, under the net
Of 1856, to make such affidavit, and
many bills Of sale have been entered
under It's decision. Tho new code SUI
percodes the decision Of the Court Of
Appeals, and makes IL necessary 10 have
an affidavit endorsed thereon. = Westmin-

A MERCHANT OF CINcINNAT1 ARRESTED
IN GERMAEY-A well-known citizen of
Cincinnati, Mr.. Joseph Schierberg, late
partner in the mercantile firm of Cohurst
4 Schierberg, who is now travelling in
Europe, has been arrested il the Grand
Duchy of Oldenburg, Germany, upon
the claim that he, although an American
citizen, owes that Duchy military service
Mr.. S. Immediately wrote to Mr.. Wright,
the American minister at Berlin, and ex-
pected to secure his prompt release. The
Cincinnati Enquirer says:
" Mr.. Schierberg left this city about the
Isl of October, 1859, for Havre and
Paris. lie went for bis health, and de.
signed TO remain absent year. He has
resided in this city about twenty-five
years, and was not over eight or nine
years old when he arrived in the country.
We have little doubt that the Grand
Duke Of Oldenburg, when the facts are
presented to him, will order his release.
Hanover, a much more powerful German
State, has succumbed to the American
doctrine on that subject, and set free, in
a prompt manner, an American who had
been impressed into her army"

SADNESS. There is n mysterious feel
ing that frequently passes like a cloud
over the spirits. It comes upon the soul
in the busy hustle of life, to the social
circle, in the calm and silent retreats Of
solitude It's powers arc alike supreme
over the weak and iron-heartcd. At one
time it is caused by the fitting Of sin
gle thought across the mind A sound
will come booming over the ocean Of
memory, gloomy and solemn az the death
knell, oversbadowing all the bright hopes
and sunny feelings Of the heart. Who
can desire Il, and yet who has not felt it's
bewildering influences Still IT is a
delicious sort Of sorrow and like a cloud
dimming the sunshine on river, altho'
causing a momentary gloom Of shade, it
enhances the beauty Of returning bright
ness

rHEsLAvE TRADE IN NEW YORK.:

We suppose few persons have an adequate
notion Of the extent to which the slave trade
is carried on IN ship owned in and fitted out
from New York For long time it has been
evident that the practice must be conniyed
ar by L, 5 officers. in some form or another.
In No other way can the IMMUNITY by which
the practice has been attended Of late be &C
counted for We notice that two subordinate
officials iheodorc Rynders and Thomas
Mum, were impeached Saturday last by ai-
fdayits presented to the court, Judge Jmal-
ley, presiding, by the Us District Attorney,
Mr.. Dwight and others, for having dishon-
estly let the brig Storm King. a suspected
SLAYER, 80 of to sea, on the "a Of May They
managed, furposely, as it appeared, to have
the official papers for the arrest Of the vessel,
60 without the signature of the proper Off
Ger, but pistol in hand boarded the vessel in
the Narows and after a conference with
persons in the cabin let her 90. Deputy
Marshal Thompson testified that Rynders
told HIM that che, Rynders, was offered $1,000
by some one on the vessel to let her 90: that
tie demarded $500, which was finally
promised to be paid in New York the next
day. That they then permitted the vessel to
60, and she proceeded to sea, and Rynders
and Mum returned to New York -"
The captain of the steam tug which took
them on board the Storm King, testified that
after they returned on board the tug, Rynders
told him they had made mistake, and re-
quested him to say nothing about the affair
Judge Smalley ordered that the Marshal
show cause forthwith why the two offenders
5 ould not be discharged from their Offices as
constables of the district, and incapacitated |
from serving in any capacity in the said
Marshall Office in future whereupon Mr.. |
Thompson informed the Court that they had !
been dismissed from the Marshall's office the
day before.

While we support the Government entirely by
duties levied upon importations e foreign goods
II is difficult to understand VII 1t gentlemen mean
when they talk Of free trade. Until this mode of
taxation is abolished, free trade is not possible
All the literature logic this subject, there
fore, when applied to US, is impertin,nt. If all
nations were equally wise, strong, wealthy, and in
exactly equal circumstances then free trade would
be just and proper.
The President of the French legislative Corps
IN speech on the late commercial treaty, fairly
states the whole question. Gree trade may
1t appears to me, be considered as the object to
which society is tending, but protection ought to
be the means of arriving at it,
The stale argument Of free trade is Buy
where you can buy cheapest" As a simple prop
osition it is right The fallacy is hidden because
1t does not disclose the fact that you buy cheapest
where you cab pay easiest Suppose a farmer to
pay dollar for scythe, and to do it with one
bushel of corn it does not oheapen the article to
show him where to buy it for fifty cents, when he
VIII have TO part with the same bushel of corn OF
even two bushels, to get the fifty cents Free trade

DEATH OF TOWNSEND HARRIs.-The death
at Jcddo, of Mr.. Townsend HARRIS the US.
Consul General for Japan, is announced
Mr.. Harris was from N. Y. City His large
experience in business and in Eastern travel
joined to an uncommon tact, fitted him en-
inently to represent his country S interests at
Japan and it is admitted that to his personal
influence with the exclusive and jealous court
of that country, the successful negotiation
1858 of the treaty of with it was attributa-
bic. By that treaty the commerce of the [.
5. finds way to a country from which near
ly all the world has long been excluded By
1t also the barriers to the introduction of any
other religion into Japan, which had been
kept up with the greatest strictness for many
generations, were taken down, ana the pen
alties which had existed against all who
might embrace the Christian religion were
abrogated. That treaty led the way to SINH
lar ones with other nations. Mr. HARRIS.
from his personal influence with the Japan
csc court was enabled to render important
services to the British Envoy, Lord Elgin,
for which a special testimonial was rendered
to Mr.. HARRIS from Queen VICTORIA leave to
make it having been granted by special act
of Congress, on representation from the
British Government to our own for that pur
pose.
The testimonial, a gold box, wit a cover
ornamented with diamonds on blue enamel.
with the letters ''V. r. surmounted by n
crown was exhibited to the New York Cham
Der of Commerce, few days ago, by Mr..
Wetmore, who had it temporarily in charge
for safe keeping.

REV. DANIEL WORTH has been released

some process Of appeal to the Supreme Court
which we do not clearly understand. He
addressed an assembly in New York. Monday
evening, when he gave an account of his
trial and suferings in prison for the enor-
nous crime Of selling four copies of HELPER 5
Impending Crisis to white men. Ii seems
that he had to make his way privately out
OF the State for fear Of being murdered by
mobs. He said that certain friendly slave
holders aided him both in the matter of bail
and escape. His object was to raise money
to pay the sum for which his bail is holden.
$4,000, SO that he need not return-as he said
he must and should do if he could not raise it
He said that there are many shareholders
who are neither hard harted nor intolerant
but they are kept down by the despotism
which controls public sentiment where they
dwell. A handsome collection was taken nm
for him.
