THE MAGIC ISLE.

There's magic Isle in the River Of Time,
Where softest Of echoes are straying,
And the air is as sweet as q musical chime
Or the exquisite breath of u tropical cline,
When June with its roses are straying
Tis there memory dwclls with her pale golden hu e
And music forever is flowing,
When her low murmuring tones that come trem
bling through,
Sadly troubles tbo heart, and yet swcetens it
too,
AS south winds DER the water is blowing.
There are shadowy halls in this fairy-likc Isle,
Where pictures of beauty are cleaning;
Yet the light of their eyes, and their sweet sunny
smiles,
Only flash round the heart with wilderng vile
And leave us to know 'tis'but dreaming
And the name of the Isle is the Beautiful Past,
And we bury our treasure all there;
There are beings of beauty, too lovely to last
There are bosoms of snow With the dust DER
them cast,
There are tresses, and rngets of hair.
There are fragments of joy only memory sings,
And the word of dear mothers prayer;
There's a harp long unswept and lutte without
strings,
There are flowers all withered and letters ard
rings,
Hallowed tokens that love used to wear
E'en the dead, the bright beautiful dead, there
arise,
With their soft flowing ringlets of gold;
Though their voices are hushed and DER their
sweet eyes,
The unbroken signet of silence now lies,
They are with US again as of old.
In the stiffness of night hands are bcckoning us
there,
And with joy that is almost pain.
We delight to turn back and in wandering there
Through the shadowy halls of the island so fair
We behold our lost treasures again.
OH this beautiful isle with its phantoms like
snow
Is a vista unfadingly bright;
And the River of Time in its turbulent flow,
Is oft soothed by the voices we heard long ago,
When the years were dreams of delight

There is Nothing New Under the Sun.

The following extract from one of Dr.
Sam'l Johnson's papers, published in the
Idler, in 1859, might properly have been
written yesterday, and will be as truthful to-
morrow as if it was one hundred and four
years ago:
In time of war the nation is always of
one mind-eager to hear something good
of themselve and i'll of their enemy. At
this time the task of news writing is easy:
they have nothing to do but to tell that the
battle is expected, and afterwards that the
battle has been fought, in which we and our
friends, whether conquering or conquered,
did all and our enemies did nothing.
Scarcely anything awakens attention like
a tale of cruelty. The writer of news never
fails in the intermssion of action to tell how
the enemy murdered children and ravished
virgins, and, if the scene Of action be some
what distant, sea ps halfth inhabitants of a
province.
Among the calamities of war may be
Justly numbered the diminution of the love
of truth by the falsehoods which interest
dictates and credulity encourages. A peace
will equally level the warriors and reator of
wars destitute of employment and | know
not whether more is dreaded from streets fill
ed with soldiers accustomed to plunder, or
from oarrets filled with scribblers accustomed
to lie.

Samuel NJ. Harrington, jr., the new Sec
retary Of State of the subjugated Territory of
Delaware, has issued a proclamation for
the enlistment in the army, of all the negro
slaves in Delaware, aOithout regard to the
7oiShes of their iaWtul masters. In case the
owners shall come forward and take one of
the numerous Administration test oaths,
which abound in Delaware they will receive
a compensation not exceeding three hundred
dollars, otherwise they are to have no redress
whatever. And the slaves in either contin-
gency, are to be forever free. This war has
developed many arbitrary measures, but
hardly any as glaringly unjust as this.

Nix. JEFFERSON ON Our GOVERNMENT
Mr. Jefferson, in his notes on Virginia, well
says: "An elective despo:sm was not the
government we fought for, but one which
should not only be founded on free princi
pies, but in which the powers Of government
should be so divided and balanced among
several bodies Of the magistracy as that no
one could transcend their legal limits, with
out being etfectualIy checked and and re-
strained bv the Others"

A Mortified (Ct.,) man carried fat hog
to butcher to sell. The butcher said the
hog was such fine one that he would make
the owner present of the head. which he
did, weighing the hog minus the head, and
making payment accordingly. 1t was sever
al days before the Northfeld man saw the
point; then he thought the butcher trile

ScoTT's PLANS IN MExIoo.-We recently
um of the Associated Press, denying charge
that Mr. Seward had furnished to Count
MERCER, for the use of Marshal Forey, in
his armed abatement Of the Monroe doctrine
all the maps, charts, diagrams, and private
memoranda, attached to G9n. Scots cam
paign in Mexico. We do not know when
the charge was made but we do know that
"the associated column" is a very vague
authority, and of more than doubtful truth,
since its late attempt to separate the Presi-
dent from Mr.. Bates, in the case of the
District Attorney of St. Louis. By-he'by,
in connection with this matter we know Just
one thing more and that is, that Marshal
Forey, for some urgent but unexplained rea-
son, directed his ship, to stop at this port,
much out Of his road to France; and so far
as the public can find out, his only business
here was to make formal call of ceremony
upon General Scott. 1t is reported that the
two heroes, on meeting, cordially embraced;
and that during the interview, they more
than once shed tears. We can hardly imag-
inc what they had to cry about, unless each
having conquered Mexico, were weeping, like
Alexander, for a chance at it again; but we
can imagine, unless it be again contradcted
by the unknown reporter of the Associated
Press, that Marshal Forey had something to
thank General Scott for, and that it was OF
sufficient Importance for him to stop at New
York to do Whether Mr.. Seward had any
hand in the matter, the public will surmise
for themselves, Wilkes Spirit.

which it has been used not a single patient

thoroughly swaLbing the back of the mouth

salt, drachms; black pepper, golden seal

and pulverize, put into a teacup half full
of boiling water, stir well, and then fill up
with good vinegar. Use every half hour,

The yam is species of sweet potato, and
is extensively grown in the South. 1t grows
much larger than the common sweet potato,
which is here called the Spanish potato and
is much sweeter. They often grow to weigh
five pounds and sometimes more. They do
not become sweet until they are fully matur-
ed, and usual ly not until they are dug. They
then become very sweet; SO much so that
when baked small drops of molasses will be
scattered over the surface. They are deli
cious, and are regarded rs very healthy and
nutritious food. The manner of growing is
as follows:
Early in the spring bed is prepared, and
the yams are spread thckly over it, but carer
fully laid so that they will not touch each
other, and covered about three inches deep.
When they have grown till the vine is three
or four inches long, and after rain, the
ground is prepared by throwing it up into
ridges. The slips are then carefully drawn
from the yam, and set in the ridges about
ten inches apart, where they will take root
and grow. In about two weeks another crop
of vines will have grown in the bed, which
can again be drawn, and this can can be
repeated four or five times. In the mean
time the, vines first set will have grown two
or three feet, which can be cut off and set
out, and will do as well as the slips drawn
from the bed, and some think better. They
are cultivated with the plow and hoe
When the vines are fully grown on a rich
sandy soil, they cover the ground like mat,
They vary much in the yield, which is owing
in great measure, to the seasons. Two
hundred bushels to the acre is fair yield.
