line he ever wrote as journalist was an
account of naval engagement he wit
messed from the masthead-one of the

the Herald. 1t was accepted, published
and literally paid for, and Stanley re-
ceived fattering letter from Mr.. Ben

remain up the entire night, wrapped in
an overcOat and blanket, and on his

subjects, changing language and ideas,
so as to be ready for the courier, who

THE BETTER LAND.
BY MRS. HEMANS

81 hear thee speak of the better land;
Thou call'st its children happy band;
Mother, oh, where is that radiant shore?
Shall we not seek it, and weep no more?
Is it where the flower of the orange blows,
And the fireflies dance through the myrtle
boughs?"
mot there, not there, my child!"
lis it where the feathery PALM trees rise,
And the date grows ripe under sunny skies;
Or midst the green islands of glittering seas,
Where fragrant forests perfume the breeze,
And strange bright birds on their starry wings
Bear the rich hues of all glorious things ?"
mot there, not there, my childr'
SIS 1t far away, in some region old,
Where the rivers wander DER seas of gold
Where the burning rays of the ruby shine,
And the diamond lights up the secret mine,
And the pearl CLEANS forth from the coral
strand,
Is it there, sweet mother, that better land?"
mot there, not there my child!''
Eye hath not seen it, my gentle boy;
Ear hath not heard its deep songs ofjoy;
Dreams cannot picture a world so fair;
Sorrow and death may not enter there;
Time does not breathe on its fadeless bloom,
Far beyond the clouds and beyond the tomb,

quent occurrence. 1t is incident to variety of
diseases. The lower limbs are apt to be swollen.
The patient is feeble, and cannot bear much
exertion. The circulation is irregular, but al
most always weak. Palpitation of the heart is
very common symptom. Violent emotion often
throws the heart into the most tumultuous ac-
ton. The vital functions are languidly per-
formed. The muscular strength is diminished;
fatigue follows moderate or slight exercise The
breathing, though quiet when at rest, becomes
hurried and even painfully agitated under ex-
ertion, as in running, ascending heights, etc.
The nervous system is often greatly disordered.
Vertigo, dizziness, and a feeling of faintness
are very common. Violent and obstinate neu-
ralgic pains in the head, side, breast, or other
parts of the body, are also frequent attendants
upon the disease. The seeretions are sometimes
diminished. In females the menses are almost
always either suspended or very partially per-
formed. The bile is scantv, and costiveness.
with unhealthy excavations from the bowels and
dyspeptic state of the stomach, are extremely
common SYMPTOMS.

Bore they on his shattered shield,
One of freedoms noble dead.
Meath the hemlock's solemn shadow
On the banks of Danube's tide,
By the borders of the meadow.
Where the flowers lately died.
They laid him in lonely grave,
The moonlight shone afar,
In hearing of the rivers wave,
Sweeping the silver bar.

With the setting sun.

The heart but one;
