HE PR E S S.
By 6. G.E.CUTTER.

Soul of the world the Press the Press.
What wonders hast thou wrought?
Thou rainbow realm of mental bliss,
Thou starry SKY Of thought
A dew unto the thirsty flowers;
As the blessed light of heaven;
And widely as the summer showers,
Thy silent aid is given.
Yet eanst thou flame upon the earth
Like the dread volcanoes glow;
And tyrants tremble at thy birth
As at an earthquakes throe.
Hast thou not lit the darkest land,
And broke the fellest chain
The despot's red. acCursed hand
Shall never forge again?
And priestly craft and kingly power
Have striyen to bend thee down;
But an, how low beneath thee cover
The mitre and the crown
Thy nod can lop the proudest head;
The world thy sceptre owns;
The path thou dost TO glory tread,
That path is paved with thrones.
Yet art thou gentle as the breeze
The latest breath of day;
But chainless as the mighty seas
In thy resistless sway.
At thy command the seals were broke
That bound the silent deep,
And liberty and truth awoke
From centuries of sleep.
Then first to every sinful shore.
That man in darkness trod.
Thy bright and spreading pinions bore
The beacon words of God.
The sage's lamp, the muses. Tyre
Thou brought DER ocean 5 foam:
The stellar light Of vestal fire,
The eloquence Of Rome.
Thou flag of truth thy folds have streamed
Ger many field of blood,
And DER the wreck of empires cleaned
Like the rainbow or the flood;
The patriot eye still turns to thee,
And halls thee from afar,
As the wanderer of the trackless sea
Hath hailed his guiding star.
While to the hearthstone of the hall,
And to the cottage hearth.
Thou bfing'st daily festival
OF nameless, priceless worth.
Thou lightest up the pallid cheek
OF the deserted poor.
And to the captive worn and weak,
0penest the prison door.
Oh ever in thy columns bright
Let truth and virtue blend
Be ever, ever in the right!
Be ever Labors friend.
His strong and honest arm shall be
Thy bulwark in distress:
God bless the land of liberty
God save our country's press.

\ SINGULAR COMBAT.--We have been in
formed of a singular combat that took place in
Pelham. New Hampshire, few days since,
between a hawk and black snake Mr. 7.
F. Palmer, while walking in field in Pelham.
came upon hawk and black snake in life
and death struggle. From appearances, the
hawk made descent upon the snake with the
expectation of making an easy prey Of it, but
the result was fatal to both The snake was
firmly held in the talous of the hawk, which
had managed to get coil around one wing
and one leg in such manner as to prevent the
bird from disengaging itself, but the snake IS
body had been picked and torn by the hawk,
whose head and neck were at liberty. Appa.
rently the hawk stood the best chance Of win
ming the fight, as the snake appeared to be
pretty nearly used up; but the struggle would
have proved fatal to both, had not the gentle
man put an end to 1t by despatching the COM
batants. The snake was three feet and ten
inches long, and unusually heavy for its length.
The hawk, from tip to tip of the wings meas
ured precisely the same. The struggle must
have been going on sometime when Mr.. Palm
er came upon the scene. which is said to have
been no less interesting than remarkable no
case of the kind ever before came TO our
knowledge Lowell Courier.

WATER BOMBS. - Attempts to supersede
fre-engines were formerly common Zachary
Greyhl is said to be the first who in modern
times, devised substitute. This consisted of
a close wooden vessel or barrel, containing q
considerable quantity Of water. and in the Gen.
ter a small iron or tin case full of guppowder +;
from this case q tube was continued 10 the
side or head of the barrel, and was filed with
a composition that readily igDited. When a
room was on fire. one of these machines was
thrown or conveyed into it and the powder ex-
ploding dispersed the water in the outer case
in every direction and instantly extinguished
the flames although raging with violence q
moment before. In 1923, Gofrey, an English
chemist. copied this device. and impreguated
the water with an antihlogistic substance.
He named his machine water bombs" In
tie year 1884, the States OF Sweden offered
premium of twenty thousand crowns for the
best invention of stopping the progress of fires;
upon which N. Fuches, German chemist,
introduced an apparatus of the same kind
Similar devices have been brought forward in
more recent days; but after making noise
for 4 time, they have passed into obliviau.
