It is probably the production of the editor, Willis Gaylord Clark, who latclv lost his kind-hearted, lovely, and accomplished lady: I see thee still! Remembrance, faithful to her trust, Calls thee in beauty from the dust; Thou comest in the morning light— Thou'rt with me through the gloomy night; In dreams I meet thee as of old, Then thy soft arms my neck enfold, And thy sweet voice is in my ear; In every scene to memory dear I sec thee still! I see thee still, In every hallowed token round; This little ring thy finger bound This lock of hair thy forehead shaded, This silken chain by thee was braided; These flowers, all withered now like thee, Beloved, thou didst cull for me; This book was thine—here didst thou read— This picture, ah', yes here, indeed I see thee still! I see thee still! Here was thy summer noon's retreat, This was thy favorite fire-side seat, This was thy chamber, where each day, I sat and watched thy sad decay; Here on this bed thou last didst lie, Here, on this pillow, thou didst die! Dark hour! once more its woes unfold— As then I saw thee pal* and cold, I see thee still! I see thee still! Thou art not in the tomb confined, Deqtli cannot claim the immortal mind, Let earth close o'er its sacred trust, Yet goodness dies not in the dust. Thee, oh beloved, ’tis not thee, Beneath the coffin's lid I see; Thou to a fairer land art gone — There let me hope, my journey done, To see thee still! HI K S C Ii L Iz A N 1 . [From the Pennsylvanian ] ' Concerning Yourself.- —You cannot find a more companionable person than yourself, if proper attention be paid to the individual. Yourself will go with you wherever you like, and come away when you please; approve your jokes, assent to your propositions, and, in short, be it) eve iry way agreeble, if you only learn and practice the true art of being really “on ; good terms with yourself.” This, howev- U-r, is not so easy ns many imagine, who do not often try the experiment.— Yourself, when it catches you in company j with no other person, is apt to he a so -1 verc critic on your faults and foibles, and when you are censured by yourself, it is ; generally the severest and most intolerable ! species of reproof. It is on this account that you are often afraid of yourself, and ] seek any associates, no matter how inferi or, whose hold chat may keep yourself from playing the censor. Yourself is also a jeal | ous friend. If neglected and slighted, it becomes a “bore,” and to he left for even i a short time “by yourself,” is then regard ed as actually a cruel penance, jfs many find w hen youth, health, or wealth has de parted. Low important is it then to know thyself, to cultivate thyself, to re spect thyself, to love thyself, warmly hut rationally. A sensible self is the best of guides, for few commit errors hut in broad 1 disregard of its abominations. It tugs j continually at the skirts of men to draw j them from their cherished vices. It holds |up its shadowy finger in warning when you go astray, and it sermonizes sharply ! on your sins after they have been commit ted. Our nature is twofold, and its noblest part is the self to which we refer. It stands on the alert, to check the excess of : the animal impulse, and though it becomes weaker in the fulfilment of its task by re peated disappointments, it is rarely so en feebled as to he unable to rise up occasion ally, sheeted and pale like Richard’s vic tims, to overwhelm the offender with bit terest reproaches. Study, therefore,to he on good terms with yourself—it is happi ness in he if'ofy pleased with yourself.— Pleasure and successes cannot compensate lor the loss of this good understanding and amicable relationship between the par ties who occupy “the house you live in.” “Owe sclf-ttjiprnring hour whole years out weighs Os stupid starers and ofloud huzzas. ' A gentleman, travelling on a journey, having a light guinea which he could not pass, gave it to his Irish servant, and de sired him to pass it on the road. At night he asked him if he had passed the guinea. “Yes, sir,” replied Teague, “hut I was forced to be very sly; the people refused it at breakfast and at dinner; so at a turn pike, where I had four pence to pay, I whipped rt in between two half pence, and the man put it into his pocket and never saw it.” “Old Women.” —Tliis designation, as a term of reproach, is too often found in ] our newspapers. If a party editor, or a party writer or speaker, wishes to bestow an epithet of contempt or low malice upon a political opponent he calls him ‘an old woman,’ and imagines that he has disgrac ed him forever. The use of this term al ways strikes me with a kind of horror.— It is, I think, as so frequently employed and so generally approved, (or, at least, not apparently disapproved,) indubitable evidence of a half-civilized people. Does an editor know, that when he makes use of these words in this way, he thereby deliberately insults his mother or his grand mother? Or, if lie he an old man, as many editors are, that he insults his wife or his sister. Is he aware, that he oilers a gross rudeness to every elderly lady of his acquaintance, to half the fami lies with wiiicli he associates, to his most obliging and estimable neighbors, to a portion of the families of the greater part of his subscribers? There are very few editors, party writ ers, and political men, who have arrived to any degree of celebrity or importance, whose mothers, and perhaps wives, have not become ‘old women’—elderly ladies, gradually descending the hill of life.— ■ Most of them have acted well their parts, and arc justly entitled to respect, liven as women they are entitled to civility, to j negative politeness, at least from all gen tit mat, if not that gallantry and outward deference, which every well bred man is expected to accord to every reputable, well behaved persons of the other sex. Let every man think of the obligations he is under to his mother. Let him think of her care, labor, anxiety and sufiering for him, in his infancy and youth. Let him think of her unceasing love and fondness, under all circumstances; her constant care for his health and physical comfort and welfare; and above all, her most zealous, unweared endeavors to form his mind and character, to preserve him lrom vice, and to make him a good, mor al, virtuous, respectable, estimable man. Let him meditate on these things. Let him arouse in dormant breast some : due emotions of gratitude, for inestimable, i disinterested services, which he can nevet j repay; and he will cease to employ, as a | term of reproach, what should excite in ! his bosom only emotions of inexpressible : love and respect. Wo advise those who are in the habit of employing the term, ‘old woman,’ in the way of reproach, to peruse attentively, before using it, (Jowper’s beautiful verses, written on contemplating Ins mother’s pic ture. Jf, after the perusal, any one can write the odious term in this sense, 1 should never repose the least confidence in his principles, or depend on his possessing any genuine feelings of kindness and humani ty.—[Boston Post. Admirable linn ark. — One of the best j and readiest answers vve recollect ever to Itave heard, was made last year, at the meeting held in Julien Ilall, for the sup pression of intemperance. A highly re j spcctable gentleman present had his tnis j givings about the propriety of making en tire abstinence the ground work of re form, and frankly declared, that neither courtesy to bis visiting friends, nor the usages of social life, would permit him to I subscribe to this restriction. Among oth er illustrations to prove that spirits might I be often advantageously used he instanced i those authors who were said to draw their inspiration from the bottle, and who wrote best when most intoxicated, lie alluded, particularly, to the supposed declaration of Lord Byron that some of his best pro ductions were written under the influence ofgiij. The Rev. Mr. Pierpont. (vve must be excused for naming hint in print,) in answer, very happily said, “I believe he was more under the influence of gin when he made this confession, than when lie wrote his poetry!” The effect of this re ply was prodigious; notwithstanding the character and solemnity of the meeting, the audience expressed tjieir sensations in some rounds of thundering applause. [Philanthropist. Persevere. —ls a seaman should put | about every time he encounters ahead ivind, he would never make a voyage. So he who permits himself to be baffled by adverse circumstances will never make the voyage of fife. A sailor uses every wind to propel; so should the young man learn to trim his sails and guide his bark, that every adverse gale should fill its bellying canvass and send it forward on its onward course. W lien the farming interest is depressed, every other interest suffers in proportion; and it is just as necessary to keep that interest i:i a sound, healthy and flourish-, ing condition, as it is to keep open and tree the springs of existence itself. One; of the best means of effecting this desir able object, is to make farming popular, and not to associate it with the idea of un- j paid or involuntary work of the hands. [Daily Times. A Reformer. —There are some people j in the world, who, it would seem, have tin- j dertaken to reform all creation; who have entered upon a crusade against all the es tablished customs of antiquity, and wish to change the whole order of things.— These people are infinitely wiser than were their fathers before them; they have discovered, that it is wicked to resist an injury, and contend that when one cheek was smitUen, the other should be turned to the smiter. They have discovered that meat is very injurious, and must not i ho eaten; and that people of every nation and every age, have been brought to their graves prematurely, by the use of coffee and tea, which beverages must be hereafter ( discarded, as poisons. Another grand dis covery has been made by these benevolent beings, viz: that taverns are useless things, ; and ought to be done away with, that there , is no need of having houses by the way- 1 side, in which a traveller can repose him self or his horse; and that these fruitin' sources of misery ought not to he cncoiir- j aged. One of these reformers passed t through this town the other day, and at tracted much curiosity. He was acompa nied by his lady, and was in a splendid I carriage, drawn by a spirited horse; lie] wore fine linen, and fine broadcloth, as all I reformers do; and, in fine, lor k <1 as if he ; was one of the great ones of the earth, and so indeed he was, lor his wind was great, as we shall presently show. He stopped, near the town pump, opp's'te one ol the hotels, tied his horse to one of ■ the small trees, and set about preparing his dinner. Decent to the store, near by, and borrowed a measure, and bought i some meal, went to the pump and moisten ed it, and then gave it to his horse, lie then got into his carriage with his lady, I and produced a box, containing a geo Ily quantity of I read and cheese, upon which i hey made their dinner. The .Reformer 1 than alighted, drew some water in his ; measure, gave it to th :hors ;, carried back i the borrowed aiticle, and then went his | i way. Poor man !we really pitied him— 1 obliged by his philanthropic love for the i human race to sit under the heat of a noon day sun, and eat his pr winder in soli tude! Oh thou Genius of Reform! Who i this glorious pioneer in the service of hu manity was, we have not been able to I learn. It is thought, by some, that it was the Rev. Bigot I' oghank of Grnhamvilie, or j Deacon Moonshine Sawdust, from Famine Point.—[Concord Yeoman s Gazette. i Human occupations.— Why is it that we find so many in all professions, occu pations, and trades, who are dissatisfied men? They :eim to he moving in a' sphere in life for which they are neither fitted by education nor taste. The answer to this question is the most important view' of the theme. It is because the profes sion, trade or occupation, is forced upon the child, before his mind has accquired the power of judging; before his tastes are developed, and his genius, or aptitude to! any one pursuit, is evinced. Many men ! study law, who had better have been farm-! ers or mechanics, and many mechanics had better been lawyers. The parent, in stead of studiyng the disposition of his! child, gives him such a chance as agrees ■ with his own taste, rather than the child’s, and, perhaps by this course, unfits him for j all hope of usefulness. There is un doubtedly such a thing as natural taste; a j taste not innate, hut resulting IVoin organi zation, or early, insensible education.— The eye of the painter, the ear of the! ! musician, the love of mathematics belong-] ing to sedentary men, and the phlegmatic ! temperament, all prove this. If, then, ]this natural taste should be consulted, in- | stead of pursuing the arbitrary course now i so common, we hope for better work, in all the occupations of life. Be-! side, a man’s moral character often de pends upon the interest he feels in his oc cupation. When they dislike it, they take every occasion to rid themselves of it for the time, and contract habits of idleness, I which lead to poverty, and poverty, in; nine cases out of ten, lends to vice. The Great Hell of Moscow. — Much has been said and written in relation to this i wonderful mechanical production; and ns there are many opinions afloat about the; actual size of it; vve subjoin a timate of its weight and cost. Its actual | Russian weight is 12,337 poods, 443,772! lbs. English gross weight. It was cast in t lie reign of the Empress Ann, and cost a sum equal to 327,500 dollars. The sound of it rather amazed and, deafened than delighted the inhabitants of Moscow. Its i real value is probably double its original cost, for every one ambitious to contri bute towards it threw gold or silver into the furnaces containing the metal, which were four in number. The geometrical dimensions are as follows: The pie.e by which the bell was bung to the beam, from the top of the bell to the beam, 3 feet 1 inch; length of the bell, froth the beam to the bottom, 21 feet 4 1-2 inches; diameter of the bell at the top, 7 feet 4 3-4 inches; diameter at the bottom, 22 feet 1 3-4 inches.

The Future, —lf we were to prophecy that, in the year l‘J’3o, a population ni fifty millions, better fed, clad, and lodgcu, than the English of our time, will cover these islands; that Sussex and Hunting donshire will he wealthier than the wealtli icst parts-of the West Riding of York shire now are, that cultivation, rich as that of a flower garden, will be carried up to the tops of Ben Nevis and llel vellyn; that machines, constructed on prin ciples yet undiscovered, will be in everv : house; that there will he no highways, hut railroads, no travelling hut by steam; that our debt, vast as it seems to us, will ap pear to our great grand children a tri fling incumbrance, which might easily be paid off in a year or two; many people would think us insane. Yet, if any per son had told the parliament which met in perplexity and terror after the crash in that in a century the wealth of En gland would surpass all their wildest dreams; that the annual revenue would equal the principal of that debt which they considered as an intolerable burden; that for one man of <£lo,ooo then living there would,be five men of ,£50,000; that London would he tw ice as large and twice as populous, and that nevertheless the mortality would have diminished to our half of w hat it then was; that the post of fice would bring more into the exchequer than the excise and customs had brought in together under Charles II; that stage coaches would run from Loudon to York in twenty-four hours; that men would sail without wind, and would he beginning to ride without horses—our ancestors would have given as miyclt credit to the predic -1 lion as to Gulliver’s Travels.—[Edinburgh Review. Mrs. Siddons anu the Pot-Boy.— “The evening was excessively hot, and Mrs. Siddons was tempted by a torturing j thirst to consent to avail herself of the | only obtainable relief proposed to her at the moment. Her dresser, therefore des patched a hoy in great haste to “fetch a pint of beer for Mrs. Siddons,” at the same time charging him to he quick, as Mrs. Siddons was in a hurry for it. Meanwhile the piny proceeded, and oil the hoy's return with the frothed pitcher, he looked about for the person who had sent him on his errand, and not seeing her, inquired “Where is Mrs. Siddons?”— The scene-shifter whom ho questioned, po ning his finger to the stage, wh t she was performing the sleeping scene of Lady Macbeth, “Th re she is,” —to th i snip i<c and horror of all the performets, the hoy promptly walked on the stage c! s up to Mrs.* Siddons, and with a to tal unconsciousness of the inpropriety he was committing presented the porter. Her distress may le imagined, she wav ed t lie loy avvayin her grand manner sev eral times, without effect; at list the peo ple behind the sc- n ?s, by dint of beckon iutr, stamping, and calling in half an lible whispers, succeeded in getting hi ii off with the beer, part of which in his exit he spilled on the stage, while the audi ence were in an uproar of laughter, which the dignity of the actress was unable to quell tor several minutes.”—[Memoirs of Charles Mathews. During tbo “panic” in the money mar ; ket sonic few years ago, a meeting of merchants was field in the Exchange, at JiYcvv York to devise ways and means to extricate themselves from their pecuniary ; difficulties. The great hall was crowded, | addresses were made, resolutions prase I, committees appointed, and every thing done that is usual and necessary. After all this, one of the company moved that the meeting stand adjourned until aone future day, when up jumped a little job ber, in a great state of excitement, and re quested the merchants to linger a moment as ho had something of the greatest im portance to communicate. Tire jobber was known to be a very diffident person: and, ns be had never ventured on the | responsibilities of a speech on any former public occasion, all were anxious to hear jwhnt lie had to say.—“Gentlemen/’ said be, with evident emotion, and in the most | emphatic, feeling and eloquent manner, !, ‘‘what's the " sn Wising of some Jhtee* | day? We want relief, I tell you I— \mmc~ i diate relief!” and down he set amidst a uni versa! roar of laughter. The next day he fulled.
