The Ferry of Souls.

| An ancient classical legend has it that tn,
souls of the departing were ferried over TO tn,
! invisible world from the shores of Gaull
| The wind RACES loudly, the ocean rolls,
Ferry us over the ferry of souls
We are dissatisfied, longing for rest,
Weary of sorrow, aud famine, and pest
! Weary of chains, and of sceptres and thrones,
| or human unhappiness, fortunes and moans
Ferryman, RISE though the water swift rolls,
Ferry us over the ferry of souls!
We come from the land of the classical Greek,
The language of Athens is that which we speak
And Romans come with us who held, in their day
| With eagle like talons. the world as their prey.
And here, too, the Frank and the Nandal demand
To be ferried this night to the dark spirit land.
Fcryman, haste, though the billow high rolls,
Ferry us over the ferry of souls
Men there may he with us who nobly have died
Who in life as in death were their country
pride.
Poets are here too, their harps all unstrung.
Whose words came forth glstening like pearls
from their tongue.
Statesmen of wisdom and scholars with lore,
Stand by this water aud sigh on this shore.
! Fcrryman haste, time nor tide now controls,
Ferry us over the ferry of souls
Beauty is here, reft Of lover aud shrine,
Queens of u long and illustrious line
Hands that have clutch d fast the sword and The
crown;
Eyes that have startled the world by their frown
Minds that have held mighty nations in thra!l,
Yield them to Pluto's IMPLYING call
Ferrympn haste, ere the daybrcall unfods,
Ferry US over the ferry of souls
Far have we come to the borders Of Gaul,
Seeking the transport which waits for us all
OIt with the beat, though the sea and the sky
Meet and embrace in wild ecstacy.
Storm cannot harm US, nor waves Ovcrwhclm
We need now no Typhy to stand at the helm
Nor tidewNy nor current our voyage controls,
Ferry us over the ferry of souls
Forth, then, he cometh, the fcrryman bold,
Full we'll he knoweth his duty OF old
Nought carcth he for tho water or sky,
The sound of the footsteps hurrying by,
Or voices low murmuring in grief and despair,
Or horrible laughter thckcning the air;
Loosencd the fast, the damp corlage unrolls,
We're lcrrying over the ferry OF souls !
Swiftly we glide DER the watcr's dark blue,
Passengers, terryman, master and crew
Easter and faster we hurry along,
Ialcr aud p0lcr The ShauOwy thron.
Seem, as The mist land more closely appears,
But the grim stecrsman eXults as be nears.
Fcrryman, land us Content with your tolls,
'Tis the last coin we can give for our souls.

able weather. spring had opened-at least there
had been two successive days that the sun was
visible. Nearly every stock raiser in that section
is ruined, most of the cattle having died from
Starvation and cold ; is Informed that at the llud-
son Bay Company's post Fort Nisqually, nine
niles from Steilacoom, GOOO head of sheep had
rerished.
The widest excitement in regard to the new

All of Company Els boys were we'll except Cor

however, and hopes are entertained of his recov-
cry. They had been unable to get any beef lit
to eat for three months, and the pork and coffee
furnished was of an inferior quality.
Sixteen men had deserted since the company
arrived at Steilacoom. John B. lIaun, who was
Il candidate for the position of ID Lientcnant' at
the elcc tion Of officers here, but who failed to
get a single vote, deserted March 3lSt Two days

MoUNrMN FGuT.-The Nevada Transcript says !;
" We are very much afraid the mournfu duty is
about to develop upon us Of writing an obituary
on the fruit of this section. The heavy rain has
been followed by a slight snow storm and cold.
and at the time Of this writing n cold night is
threatened. We are not without hope that all
will be well yet but the chances are largely
against u.s."
Last year frost killed the fruit in this county
on the night of the l7th Of May, aud the previous
year on the 10Th of that month. Thus far the
fruit has escaped this year, and we are breath
lcssly waiting for the end Of the frost season,
that We may boast Of the enormous quantity of
fruit which will be raised in Trinity. Enough
will be grown for home consumption, ii the frost
lets it alone.

JonN Bulls OPINION OF AMERICAN COURAGE
AND INTEIIIGENCE.-Th last number of BiacL-
lcOod'S K1gdziae in an article upon the delenses
of Canada, after expressing the opinion that a
war between Great Britain and the United States
will occur by 1868, says:
"Our British North American colonies stand
face to face with power which in the appliance
of modern science, and in the courage and en-
durance of its people, is a match for the most
military of European nations. An American
army, when it first takes the field, may be but
little better than rabbc. but give it the eXpe-
ricnce of year or two, and it becomes able to
hold its own against the best troops in the world.
So our own people found half a century ago and
so if the storm which we are now contemplating
does not burst until 1863, our people may find
again"
In like manner, Earl Russell, in his speech on
The blockade, in Parliament, made this frank
though tardy acknowledgment
mo one will say that there are no judges in
America quite competent to decide questions of
International law--judges who have Inherited
the precepts and doctrines of such men as Chan.
cellor Kent and Judge Story-qnite competent
TO pronounce judgment according TO law, and
whO believe, would not have departed from the
law in their decisions in such cases"

TRAIN.-An amusing discussion took place on
the 1st, at the meeting of the Representative
Council of Marylebone. In the board-room
there hangs a picture of the Train Tramway
at the Marble Arch. Mr.. Herring wished to
know to whom it belonged. If it belonged
to 'the mountebank" Train, then he thought
it ought to be thrown into the dusthole. He
moved that it be taken away. Mr.. Filmer,
who seconded the motion, advised Mr.. Train,
if he ever visited England again, to soap his
nose, and put on an exceedingly thick pair of
breeches. Other members counselled milder
proceedings in reference to the picture and
were twitted with having partaken of Mr..
Trains feasts. Eventually the motion was
disposed of by resolution to pass to the or
der of the day.
