IF WE KNEW.

If We knew the cares and crosses
Crowding round our neighbours way;
If we knew the little losses,
SOrely g%rievOus day by day,
Would we then 80 often chide him
For the lack Of thrift and gain
Leaving on his hearth a shadow,
Leaving on his heart a stainH
If we knew the clouds above us,
Held by gentle blessings there,
Would we turn away all trembling,
In our blind and weak despair
Would we shrink from little shadows,
Lying on the dewy grass,
While tits only birds of Eden.
Just in mercy flying pastf
If we knew the silent story,
Quiyering through the heart of pain,
Would our w~omanhoOd dare doom them
Back to haunts of guilt again?
Life hath many a tangled crossing,
Joy hath many a break of woe,
And the cheeks, tear-washed, are Whitsst:
This the blessed angels know.
Let us reach into our bosoms >
For the key to other lives,
And with love toward erring nature,
Cherish good that still survives;
So hat when our disrObed spirits
Soar to realms of light again,
We may say, dear Father, judge us
As We judged our fellow men.

OVER THE WAY.

Gone in her childish purity
Out from her golden day
Fading away 10 tho light 80 sweet,
Where the silver stars and the sunbeams meet,
Paving a path for her silent feet,
Over the silent way.
Over her bosom ,enderly
The pearl white hands are priest
The lashes lie on her cheeks so thin
Where the softest blush of the rose hath been
Shutting the blue OF her eyes within
The pure lids closed in rest.
Over the swee. brow lovingly
Twineth her sunny hair
She was so fragile that love sent down
From his heavenly gems that soft bright crown,
10 shade her brow with its waves SO brown,
Light as the dimpling air.
Gone to sleep with the tender smile
Froze on her silent lips
BY the farewell kiss of her dewy breath,
Cold in the clasp of her angel, Death
Like the last fair bud Of a fading wreath
Whose bloom the white frost nips.
~Robin-hushed in your downy bed
Over the swinging bough-
Do you miss her voice from your glad duet,
When the dew in the heart Of the rose is set,
Till its velvet lips with the essence wet
In orient crimson glow ?
Rosebud under your shady leaf
Hid from the sunny day
Do you miss the glance # eye so bright,
Whose blue was heaven in your timid sightI
1t is bsatning now in the world of light,
Over the starry way.
H~earts-where the darling's head hath lain
Held by loves shining ray
Do you know that the touch of her gentle hand
Doth brighten the harp in the unknown land
0, she waits for US with the angel band
Over the starry way.

THE ATALANTIC MONTHLY. Y
BEGINNING OF THE FIFTH VOLUME

BEGINNING OF THE FIFTH VOLUME
In assuming the control of the Atlantic Month
ly; its new proprietors deem it scarcely needful
to spend many words in assurances or PROMISES
The congratulations and good wishes they have
received from all parts of the country seem to ius-
tify them in the confidence that their own char
acter as publishers will be accepted by the numer-
Gus readers and friends of the Magazine as a war
rant that they will do everything in their power to
increase its interest, to enlarge its circle Of attrac-
ton, and to raise its standard Of ability in all
departments. Ha'3.
They think it proper to say, simply, that no
change will be made in the general character of
the magazine; that all the writers whose contribu-
tions have established it in the popular favor will
continue to make it their medium of communica-
ton with the public; and that the relations of the
publishers with authors on both sides the Atlantic
will enable them to add materially to the variety,
interest, and value of its pages.
The Atlantic has never been, and will never be,
a sectional journal. Its publishers acknc Wedge
no parallels OF latitude in the Republic of letter.;
and, while they will judge of any article offered
them, not by the source whence it comes, but BY
its own intrinsic worth, they will ct the came time
endeavor to maintain It's character as a periodical
in which earnest thinkers may find expression,
unhampered by fear of that narrow censorship
which what is loudest. but not deepest, in Public
Opinion would fain establish.
TERMS. = Three Dollars per annum, or twenty
five cents q number. Upon the receipt Of the sub
s~cription price, the publishers will mail the work
to any part of the United States, prepaid. Sab
scriptions may begin with either the first or any

ceive the work for Two Dollars n year.

Pennsylvania OIL Fields Eighty Years
Ago.

CHtcAao. June s:h 1850.
MEssRs. ED1roRs:-A friend "waT down
East" in whose house found happy home
for e few days, showed me Ell old volume pub
lished in 1874, styled "The Memoirs of the
American Academy Of Arts aud Sciences, to
the end Of the year 1883" Looking over this
volume as did With great interest, one paper
was commended to my notice, with this running
title: An account Of several strata Of earth
aud shells oa the bank Of York River in vir-
gina; Of subterrancons passage md the
sudden descent Of very large current Of water
from mountain near Carlisle; of remarkably
large spring near Reading, in Pennsylvania,
and also Of several remarkable springs in the
States of Peunsylvania and Virginia; ii q let.
ter from Benjamin Lincoln, Esq.,,F. 4. a. to
Rer. Joseph Willard Y. Pres A. H.; and Pres.
Of the University Of Cambridga-"-.
What nttracted particular attention in this
letter WAS the following statement, Which would
seen to show that the existence of oil fount-
aims in Pennsylvania was q fact known Soma 50
years ago, though not turned to practical ac-
count. This is literal extract:
"1n the northern pnrts Of Penn. there is
creek called Oil Greek, which cmpties itself
into the Alleghaua river, issuing from spring,
on tho top Of which floats an oil, similar to
what is called Barbados tar, and from which
may be collected by one man several gallons in
day. The troops in marching that way halted
at the spring, collected aha oil and bathed their
joints with it. This gave them great relief and
freed them Immediately from rheumatic COM
plaints, with which many Of them wcre af0ict-
ed. The troops drank freely Of the waters and
found them to operate as gentle aperient."

The New Orleans PIca{une OH Sum-
ner's Speech.

lie sums up a series Of phiiippics with the
ayerment that slavery being "barbarpus in its
origin, baroarous In It's Law, and barharous in
nIl its pretensoGs, barbarous in the instruments
it employs, barbarous in its consequences, bar
basous in splrit, and barbarous wherever it
shows itself" it must breed barbariars. while
it devel ,pes cvery here. alike ia the individual
aud in the society Of which be forms part, tue
essential elements Of barba1ism."
With this text he declares for the e1tirpation
Of the moustsous evil, and repudiates with scorn
The plea that it is only to be met as a political
question, and declares that i is to be met on
every ground as solemn battle between good
and evil.
There are two whole sides cf large newspa-
per covered with the speech, Of which tho eeu-
tence we quote is the key -'hought, ampli6ed,
illustrated, and enforced IN every possible form
OF insult, derision and defiance.
This black TRADE went on without interrup.
tion, and with no other reply than some brief
words from Senator Chesnut, Of South Caro-
lima, in which~he expressed, ID words much
more emphatic than complimentary, his opiu-
ion of the scandatous exhibition OF malignant
and reveugefui passions. The Southern Seua-
tors otherwise sat in contemptuou8 silence
while this railing Abolitionist uupacked his
Heart OF its foul passions and his brain Of the
unwholesome load ofrevengetuf thoughts.
Senator Chtsnut would hare done quite as
well in suffering the harapgue to pass without
word Of comment. II ne are 10 take Mr.
Sumner Us the type Of a class in the Nor,h-ths

THE TORNADO.

The readers Of the Press AND TRIBUNE
have had enough Of the details Of the late
great tornsdo; and 50 have we; but faw facts
that We have gathered in relation TO the
speed with which the whirlwind Travelled in q
direct line, will MT be now out Of place.
When the work Of destruction commenced in
The vicinity Of Fort Dodge, the time noted was
o'clock, aud Camanche was destroyed about
7o'clock, P. n The distance between the
TWO points is 200 miles; hence the tornado
progressed at the rate Of &C miles an hour.
With the probable rapidity Of the circular
motion Of The air, conjecture is busy. Ar.
Red6eld, the meteorologist, is Of the opinion
that whfrlwi1ds never attain a velocity on
their own axes Of more than three hundred
miles an h6ur-somethioG more than The re-
1ocity of cannon hall fired BY full charge;
and it is not likely that in the tornado that
engages our attention III. R s maximum was
exceeded, it it was reached. But the blowing
