POEM ON IRVING
BY n. T. TUcKERMaN.

from the New York Evening Post.l
THE beauty Of the day on which Mr.. r.
wings funeral took place, and the charming
aspect of the surrounding country, in the
glorious sunshine which then closed our
long Indian Summer, have prompted the
ensuing lines, which we have from friend
Of the departed author, himself eminent in
the world OF letters:
SuNNYsIDE, Dec. !, 1859.
The dear quaint cottage, a. We pass,
No elambering rose or locusts hide;
And dead leaves fieck the matted grass
4 shadow rests on Sunnyside:
Not by the flying cloud-wrack cast.
Nor by the summer foliage bred,
The lifelong shadow which the Past
Lets fall where cherished joys have fled
For he whose fancy wove spell
As lasting as the scene is fair,
And made the mountain, stream and dell
His own dream-iife forever share;
lie who with Englond's household grace,
And with the brave romance of Spain,
Traditions lore and Natures face,
lmbued his visionary brain;
Mused in Granada's old arcade
As gushed the Moorish fount M noon.
With the last minstrel thoughtful straved
To ruined shrines beneath the moon;
And breathed the tenderness and wit
Thus garnered, in expression pure,
y now his thoughts with humor dit,
And now to pathOs wisely lure;
Who traced, with sympathetic han1,
Our peerless chiettain's high career;
His life, that gladdened all the land,
And blest "A h0me-is ended here.
What pensive charms of nature brood
O'er the familiar scene to-day.
rs if, with smile and tear, she wooed
Cur hearts mutual rite to pay.
The river that he loved so well
Like a full heart, is awed 70 calm;
The winter air that watts his kncll
i fragrant with autumnal balm.
A veil Of mist hangs soft and low
Above the Catskill's wooded range,
While sunbeaRs on the slope below
Their shrouds TO robes OF glory change.
How 10 the mourner's patient sight
Glide the tall sails along the shore,
Like procession clad in white
Athwart broad Hudson's crystal floor.
SO light the haze, in floating shades,
Like tears through which We dimly see,
With incense crowns the palisades,
With purple wreaths the 1appan Zee.
And ne'er aid more serene rcpose
OF clouds and sunshine. brook and brae
Round Sleepy Hollow fondly close,
Than on its lovers burial day.

In the morning Of creation. when
Adam sat lonely in Eden how dePlor-
able Fmust have been his condition;
though surrounded with all the beau
ties of nature. when no woman's gentle
voice cheered his lonesome hours? But
his condition, forlom as it was, could
not have been worse than would have
been Ewes had Adam not received her
with joy and gladness. Adam. no
doubt, made glad the heart of Eve, by
accepting her with Joy and gladness.-
SO may the husband make happy
wife, by forsaking all ties of earth
and living for her alone. LlBRA.

For the Randolph County Journal
Wife VS.. Husband.


In perusing the literature of the age
in which we now live, we find it rife
with complimentary articles on Wo-
man. Some telling cf her genuine
goodness; some of her gentleness and
kindness; and others of her fascinat-
ing beauty, and charming loneliness;
and we feel no disposition to demur;
for even more than this might be at
tributed to her character without ex-
ageration or extravaganza. So, it is
plain that we do not differ very widely
with our literary compeers in this mat
ter; yet our thoughts have taken a
channel which theirs have not; or at
least different from those which they
have generally expressed when speak
ing on this subject, viz: The relation
of Husband and Wife. This is the
topic for consideration; yet, when it is
treated of, the husband is left out OF
the account. and the responsibility
thrown upon the wife; that she; with
her winning ways and courteous smiles
must make home paradise; whether
the husband is fit subject for such a
habitation or not; of which, in many
cases, we venture to say he is not.
We believe the wife should not be
left. alone, to make home happy and
attractive: but the husband should re.
fleet upon his duty. and maintain that
gravity which is attributable to a gen
erous and frugal paternal guardian
Doubtless. gentle smiles, from eye.
that once have attended our dreams
and, gentler tone, which in gone by
days have whispered with tenderness,
and confidence, i am thine, will cheer
the saddened heart, and revive til,
dropping soul.
But when we rfect upon the condi
tion of the wife. we can but ask, ha.
she no need ef ,othing words ant
gentle smiles? \ as she no seasons o
despondency and gloom; no hours o
sadness and melancholy to be mad,
cheerful? Surely. she has; and there
is no one who can contribute 10 heI
happiness like the husband. For hin
she has severed the ties which ono,
bound friendly hearts together; ant
reposes in him all her confidence
What, then. must be the feeling of th,
wife when the husband fails to be n,
longer worthy of her confidence, bu
treats her with ridicule and contempt'
Those who have experienced the con
temptible frowns and grabbed word,
of a once gentle and smiling connie
nance. and kind and friendly voice
can enter into the feelings of Wit,
thus bereft and deceived.
The husband is the monarch an,
head of the family; if he would hav,
quiet and gcntleness to brood over hi
home, let him learn to practice quiet
ness and gentility. If he wants cheer
fulnsss and pleasantly within the fam
lily circle, he can have them by bein.
cheerful and pleasant himself; and Fl
nally if he would have his home
paradise. he must make himself an an
gel. The wife is sometimes spoken o
as being an angel; if so, the HUSBAND
should be an archangel. Whatever tn
wife may be. the husband should be
and even more.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
WEDNESDAY, Fab. &c III.

WEDNESDAY, Feb. 29-6P. NJ
The Treasury drafts come in very slowly The
SubTreasuer was only advised this morning of
about $4,000 drawn by the Post Office Depart
ment yesterday, and the Sub-Treasury balance
keepsup surprisingly Partly from this cause the
money market shows no change. We hear occa
sionally of some prices of long paper going below
seven; and some borrowers say that they are
getting money below six; but these are excep
tional cases. The rate for money on call is six;
paper varies from six to seven according to date.
First class single varies from seven TO eight.
As usual on Wednesday, there is nothing doing
in foreign exchange. Drawers express disappoins
ment at the dulness of the market. Cotton is
doing more in the way of paying the country's
debts than was expected. The Cunard steamer TO-
day took out no specie.
There was an active business to day on the Stock
Exchange in Pacific Mail stock and in New York
Central, both of which were fraction lower II Is
stated that some Of the directors of the former have
been selling out their interest whether in conse-
quence of the unfavorable prospects regarding the
mail IL not known. The mail money received by
the Pacific Mail under the old contract with the
government amounted to twenty per cent
per annum on the capital stock; if no
such allowance be received hereafter it will
make difference in the profits Of the
company. Commodore Vanderbilt has fixed the
rates OF passage from this side at 800, $50 and
5000; II the Pacific Msil Company are equally
moderate in advancing the rates from San Fran
cisco, the public will not have much ground of
complaint The next ship sails from here on 9Th;
then ON 20th, and then on the 3Oth of March.
Central was affected by the advices of the passage
Of the Pro Rata law in the House and sold as low
as 20, closing 7oi bid. Hudson River was sold
down to 81, closing s7i bid The Western shares
were firm. There is very good demand for State
stocks and good bonds; otherwise the amount of
business doing is ANAL. In the afternoon the market
was fairly active and stocks closed steady at the
following quotations. Virginia 6s, 92t %; Mus
