TO 9IY WIFE.
BY TIIE KEY. C. W. BETIIUXE.
Afar from thee! The morning breaks,
But morning brings no joy to me;
Alas! ray spirit only wakes
To know that I am far from thee;
In dreams I saw thy blessed face, m
And thou wort nestled on my breast;
In dreams 1 felt thy fond embrace.
And to mine own thy heart was press’d.
Afar from thee! *Tis solitude,
Though smiling crowds around me be,
The kind, the beautiful, the good—
For I can only think of thee;
Of tl»ce, tlie kindest, loveliest, best,
My earliest, and my only one;
Without thee, I am all u ablest,
And wliolly blest with thee alone.
Afar from thee! The words of praise
My listless ear unheeded greet;
What sweetest seemed in better days,
Without thee, seems no longer sweet:
Tlie dearest joy fume can bestow,
Is in thy inoicteiu-d eye to see,
And in tiiy cheek’s unusual glow
Thou deeni’st me not unworthy thee.
Afar from thee! The night is come,
Hut slumbers from my pillow llec;
1 cannot rest so far from home,
And »ny heart’s home, is Jove, with thee!
I kneel before the throne of prayer,
And then 1 know that thou art nigh;
For God who secth everywhere,
Bonds on us both, his watchful eye.
CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE.
A most singular case, illustrating the
danger to be apprehended from a too
great reliance on circumstnmiiil evidence,
occurred at Rochester lust week, the
main fads of which are thus narrated by
the. New York Morning News:
A man named Tulbot P. Powers is
now in prison at that place for arson. In
order to create an excitement, he lately
confessed that he had murdered a man
named Macey, and (hat he had boxed
him up and paid a person named Britton
to carry the box away. The authorities
instituted an investigation, and ascertain
ed that on a certain night, Powers and
Macey had an altercation in the former’s
house about a debt; that the latter dis
appeared that night; that blood was found
on the door step next morning; that Brit
ton did tnko Imixcs mysteriously from
Powers about that time; that Powers had,
and now has, a shirt collar belonging to
A BLUSTERER.
A person who makes a great deal of
noise—wbo drives pell mell along, sel
dom accomplishes any thing for himself
or others. He is like a rocket, that as
cends and fixes the eyes of the multitude
for a few moments, and then expires.—
That which in man produces the most
effect, is unseen by the community and
only felt. Do you hear steam that pro
pels the majestic boat ? The steam which
escapes and makes the noise, produces
nothing. It is just so with mankind, took
where you may. The bustering, talking,
driving, headlong fellows, make you stari
and turn aside—and this is all. The
substantial, energetic, talented, say but
little, but you (eel the effects of their la
bors and ineir influences every day.
SIR WALTER RALEIGH’S LETTER TO HIS
WIFE AFTER HIS CONDEMNATION.
“You shall receive, my dear wife, my
lust will in these lines. My l ive I send

Maccy’s disappearance was heard by
several persons, among others Powet's

cause the strangling of any man, yet mark
the sequel. A telegraphic communica
tion was sent to the ‘murdered’ man’s
lather on the subject, when n reply came
that Henry G. Macey was alive nnd well,
aud that he lived in Buffalo. Supposing
that Macev had been a kinless man, ami
had wandered out of search of communi
cation, Powers would have inevitably
gone to execution! nnd at some remote
■lay, tlie community would Imvc been
astounded to learn that nn innocent man
had been hanged upon circuinstnatiul

FLORIDA—1’RoaPECT—CROPS, btc.
We were never more pleased at the
prospects of umplc reward to the hus
bandman, than during our recent trip
through Middle Florida. Corn and cot
ton never looked more luxutiunt, or bid
fairer to present a rich harvest. Tlie large
numliei of new settlements in Middle
Florida cannot fail to excite feelings of
pleasure to one who seldom travels out of
ais comity—and leaving the Middle, Eusl
or West, he is equally gratified nl this ev
idence ol the prosperity and growing great
ness of our new Slate. We regret that
dr; state of the weather prevented a more
uded trip through Fast Florida. The
Bess, let them go to the grave with me,
and lie buried in ‘.he dust. And seeing
that it is not the will of God that I shall
see you any more, bear my destruction
patiently, nnd with a heart like yourself.
“First I send you all the thanks that
my heart can conceive or my words ex
press liir your many travails and cares for
me, which, though they have not taken
effect as you wished, yet my debt to you
is not the less, but pay I never shall in
this world. Secondly, I beseech you by
the love you liear the bring, that you do
not hide yourself many days; but by your
travails seek to help my miserable fortunes
and (lie right of your poor child; your
mourning cannot nvnil me who am in the
dust. Thirdly, you shall understand
that my lnndsjwere conveyed bona fide to
my child; the writings were drawn at
midsummer was a twelve month, ns di
vers can witness, and I trust that my
blood will quench their malice who de
sire my slaughter, that they will not seek
to kill you and yours with extreme pover-
<y.

READING.
Of all the amusements that can possi
bly be imagined for a bard-working man
after bis daily toil, or in its intervals, there
is nothing like reading an interesting
newspaper or book. It calls for no bod
ily exertion, of which he has already had
enough, or perhaps too much. It relieves
his home of its dullness and sameness.
It transports him into a livelier and gayer,
and more diversfied and interesting scene;
and while he enjoys himself there, he
may forget the evils of the present mo
ment full as much as if he were ever so
drunk, with the great advantage of find
ing himself the next day with the money
in. his pocket, ot at least laid out in real ne
cessaries and comforts for himself and
family—and without a headache. Nay,
it accompanies him to his next day’s
work: and if what he had been reading
be anything above the idlest and lightest,
gives him something to tbiok of, besides
the mere mechanical drndgriy of his
every-dav occupation—something lie can
enjoy while absent, and look forward to
with pleasure. If I were to pray for a
taste which should stand me in stead un
der every variety of circumstances, and
be a source of happiness and cheerfulness
to me through life, nnd a shield against
its ills, however things might go amiss,
and the world frown upon me, it would
be a taste for reading.—Sir J. Ikischd.

MIRACLES.
How can we know that what we call
a miracle is not, in the (lightest and most
proper sense, as natural as any other e-
vent. By the term natural, we mean
staled, fixed, uniform. Whatever imp-
pens statedly, in given circumstances, we
callnatural. • • • Whocan tell wheth
er in the vast cycle of God’s moral gov
ernment, miracles may not have been
provided for, and come in, at certain dis
tant points, statedly and uniformly, and
ihereforc as naturally, as any thing else ?
Who can tell whether a miracle may not
be, to the ordinary course of events, as
the occasional and momentary reversing
of the engine that is bearing the cars on
ward ? A tqan gets into a railroad car for
the first lime, and moves uniformly for
ward, perhaps for the course of a day,
and he may suppose the engine capable
no other motion. He has tode a whole
WHO SHOULD HAVE CHARGE OF
EDUCATION!
Mum. Editor*:—Mankind mutt consti
tute an unit of intellectual force: there will
not bo a thought that shall transpire on the
fartherest confines ot the earth, (hat will
not pass soon, almost with the rapidity of
thought, from one reflective mina to the
other throughout its emits extent. How
necessary then that this description of mind
be increased; bow necessary that a nation
of freemen, allow not an individual to es
cape, who shall not possibly, by the force
of education, be made to think. I my, “an
unit of intellectual force,”—for if the intel
lect—the will of man—his free will, in
contradistinction to the instinct of the brute,
be not aroused—be not developed; his ani
mal nature is left in control; and the sel
fish propensities of that nature being at war
with unity, prevent its possibility. I say
“an unit of intellectual force” on another
ground.
Almighty God has not impressed upon
the mind of man so definite an idea of his
eternal Peace, nnd through the active op
eration of (he Spirit of Peace, without im
planting in him at the same time a power
to impart it. But however active his ef
forts may be, and however beneficial their
tendency ; the will, and consequent Peace
of this class, cannot constitute the unity of
the world. Intellect then it the subject of
prime consideration, for upon this alone
can the world hope to realise an ameliora
tion of the human species.
From what it here slated, if each indi
vidual of the universe is interested in the
intellectual advancement of his fellow-
man ; how much more urgent should this
interest be between individuals of the same
tuition or slate 1 The delait of this princi
ple is allowed by all. If 1 reside in a com
munity which is without public spirit, my

continued in it, doing their duly like good
soldiers, and fondly looking forward to
the lime when their term of enlistment
would expire, that they might return to
the land of “Onions,” and put their little
capital to a profitable use.
When about to leave the camp, they
heard that “ old Rough and Ready” and
the boys, stood a chance of having a
brush, and a likelihood also of being rub
bed up a little, nothing daunted however,
they again donned their regimentals, de
posited their money with the paymaster,
obtained permission to enlist for the bat
tle, and “went it" doring its continuance
like good fellows walking into the affec
tions of the “jailer faces,” in a way by
no means slow. The baltles over, they
turned tbeir “swords into pruning hooks,”

We have never seen a belter prospect
for crops of corn, See. Neither lias any
season within our recollection, presented
u more luxuriant growth of cotton, which
must inevitably yield a full crop unless
tbe catterpillar should again ravage the
country. Of this there seems to be vari
ous opinions. We fear the real cotton
catterpillar is in (be crop, and if so, its
early appearance nnd the lateness of the
crop, wiU materially reduce the amount
which at present we might fain hope to
realize. But of corn and all the necessa
ry articles of consumption on a plantation,
there is no scnrcily. Man and beast arc

if the State will provide the means and
adopt a system that shall merge nil educa

centralization.must take place, and in this
event all extent of machinery be involved

The truth is, Hume docs not take the

Him wbo carries it forward. The moral
government of God is a line onwards

MEDALS FOR THE SOLDIERS.
The patriotic citizens of New Orleans
have raised by subscription a sufficient
sum to procure gold medals to present to
corporal Ol Sullivan, and the other brave
subordinates wbo received such favorable
notices in tbe reports of tbeir command
ing officers for tbeir conduct in battle. n
We notice also, that a hill has been in-
trodoced in Congress, u> appwpnate the
a lies taken in the bottles of the 8th
9th, to the purchase of silver medals
for each private engaged in them. We
hope it may be carried into effect* it wilt
lowed by iho darkness whic
Even in the domestic circle, a want of in
tellectual unity is often fell, and we find
that the efforts are vuin which are nol res
ponded to by an universal will. Each and
every individual of responsibility through
out the world is interested then in the ad
vancement of intellect.
But it will be necessary to determine the
degree of interest. This I should say de
pended upon the amount of properly pos
sessed by encli; for ns properly, in llie re
ligious, or highest paint of view, is a trust
imposed on each, nnd ns it is this that oc
casions mast anxious care nnd litigation, it
should provide the means, proportionate to
its extent to secure universality of will or
an approximate peace among men. It is
an altogether false principle that because
an individual has no children he is nol in
terested in education. No tmtn with capi
tal, hut what employs his.agents, and no
S ystem of agency is complete that docs nol
epend upon intellectual worth. If I am
to rear for my richer neighbor, a son fit for
the management of his extensive estate,
and be not provided with the necessary
means through bis instrumentality, we
both foil in our social obligations; I, in the
honorable promotion of a son, and, lie, in
the successful conduct of his affairs.
But if property he 1 lie source from whence
we procure the means for education, it
will be contended that (lie tax of the poor
will often be applied to the children of tlie
rich. This may be in the actual fact of
the case, but docs it niter the general prin
ciple advanced at tlie head of this essay 1
Each end every one is bound to produce
the greatest number of thinkers possible
from the great liody of the people, and if
a rich man’s son be a candidate, why not
have him t But I here grant what will
scarcely be the case; tlie lax of the richer
class will always cover the expense of its
portion of the general education; and if it
should nol, the exchange of intellectual
association on the part of the community,
for nn association based on pecuniary means
will fully account for the difference.
If these observations be correct, it will
at once follow that the tax of a people will
dcfrafils education. But if this be the
case, the Stato must have charge of it;
for the State alone can control the tax
paying and dispensing powers. Hence,
tlin question of this essay is answered, by
“the Slates should have-charge of intel
lectual education.” And this has long
been gradually rooking itself know n among
the most distinguished states of the confed
eracy ; and it has only been for wont of a
general system, or one better adopted to
our institutions, that it .boa not become
more universally acknowledged. Let us
for a moment lake a fear examples. The
Eastern States, almost without exception,
devote tbeir State energy to education.
But while tbe State is acting on one prin
ciple, the people of the State ore ecling on
another. The first adepts the idea, that
education work* upward*, and has free
schools for the people of a moderate grade;
but the people, on the contmre, patronize
the colleges, which abound in In css Sutes,
and which act upon the principle that e*-

these conflicting actions is, a divided pao-
FROM THE HOME SQUADRON.
Letters have been received at the Navy
Department from Commodore Conner,
dated 30th June, and from other reliable
sources of recent dates. The vessels con
centrated off Vera Cruz, at the latest
date, were the frigates “Cumberland"
and “Raritan;” tlie ateamers “Prince
ton” and “ Mississippi” the sloop “ John
Adams” and the brig “Sommers."
With the exception of the American
barque “ Eugenia,” no vessel has entered
any Mexican port since tbe establishment
of the blockade.
The duties on the properly that'll (to
been warned off, it is estimated, would
not have fallen far short of half a million
of dollars—a sum that would have been
of great importance to the Mexican gov
ernment in us present impoverished con-,
dition.
Every indulgence and freedom frotn
vexation and restraint that could be allow
ed consistently with the rules ofblockadq
adopted, have been observed towards all
vessels of neutral nations; and it is be
lieved that the best understanding exists

ish forces and Commodore Conner.

against the government of Parades. He is
