(From the Boston Traveller.} EVERETT. BY EEV. S. T. SMITH, IX I>. —AUTHOR OF “AMERICA.” Mute is his eloquence,—that silver tongue. On whose sweet accents crowds admiring hung, Whose fitting words in bounteous beaut}’ fell On ear and heart, that owned the witching spell, W r hose graceful cadence tides of feeling woke, As if from heaven some loving angel spoke,— Nou r lies in silence, like a harp unstrung,— Its warbling music, on the breezes flung, Still breathes in living echoes on the air, As if the master-spirit lingered there. Who can do justice to so great a name ? Who speak in worthv words his matchless fame? In varied learning brilliaut and profound, In taste unrivalled, and in judgment sound ; Above ambition’s mean and shufliing ai ts. Too great to purchase power at public marts : In life so pure, in motive so unstained, He trod with honor all the heights he gained ; His aims so worthy, and his powers so rare, If first he stood, the people placed him there. As stands a shaft on some far reaching plain, Rising o’er cottage roofs and waving grain. Catching the earliest morning’s crimson streams And latest splendor of the evening beams. Towering o’er all, it meets the distant sight, . And bathes its summit in the peerless light, So, in his country. In his age, alone,— Second he seemed to none but Washington. When treason trod the stage with guilty stride, He for his conntry spoke with manly pride; Consoled the timid, made the fainting strong, Stood for the right, and frowned, upon the wrong; As some brave soldior waves his flag on high, And points his comrades do, —or die,— Then plants the banner on the topmost height. Borne through the fiercest whirlwind of the right, Himself forgetting,—eager but to see His nation’s struggle crowned by victory.— So toiled in love,—so stood, till evening set, The ripe, the brave, immortal Everett.' ’ Well at his funeral pomp did wreaths of green Adorn the places where tiis life had been ; Ana garlands deck, with sw et and cheerful bloom. The onening gateway to his honored tomb. The full-blown flowers, of pure and spotless white. Symbols of finished life, a life upright; The bursting buds, of fresh and bright renown, Wreathed o’er his name tike an immortal crown ; Each fragrant blossom round the good and brave, Telling how virtue lived beyond the grave The martial dirge, with deep and solemn strain, Fell on the ear as falls the gentle rain, * Breathing o’er troubled hearts a sweet repose, And mingled organ-notes prolonged the close ; As if the.gift to melody were given To set forth ending earth and opening heaven. So when the Christian parts from earth and time, Soaring from toil and pain to joys sublime, The flickering light of such a world as this Melts in the splendor of the world of bliss; The dimming scenes of mortal beauty fade, .And glorious visions rise, that know no shade, And sweet-voiced harmony* to mortals given, Is lost in music such as rings in heaven.- The eccentric genius. Brick Pomeroy, writes upon a used-up paper collar, the following gro tesque ODE, O paper collar! Kecks to my throat I love thee. Once so white, and pure like I is, iNow creased and wrinkled muchly Who made you, and liow came he to ? Goblin damned, or a foolscap ? I would write to thee, worn out p. c. ou come as high as linen—and half a inch more so. It is easy to work a button-hole in thee A penknife, an old nail will do it; And though thee ait paper I’ve seen rhy two ends meet, I wish you were a girl’s arm, How I’d keep thee around my neck, And write glad to do it—you bet! Paper collar you can’t go to church to-morrow with me, For you have no pew rity, P. C. youre played. The Crown Jewels.— We find the fol lowing in a letter from Hanover, of De cember li) : ’‘The--hearts of the King and royal family of this country have been much rejoiced by intelligence which has • just reached them through the Hanove rian Minister at the Court of St. James, that the long dispute between the King of Hanover and. the Queen of England respecting the right ol certain jewels of enormous value in the possession of the Sovereign of England, and forming no inconsiderable portion ol|what have been decided in favor of Hanover. Many of are no doubt aware that when the kingdom of Hanover was severed from the united kingdom by the accession ot Queen Victoria to the throne a claim was made by the late King of Hanover, formerly the Duke of Cumber- to nearly the whole of the jewels hsuaily worn on State occasions by the English sovereign, on the ground that part ot them, which had been taken over io England by George J, belonged in alienably to the crown of Hanover, and that the remainder had been purchased by George 111, out of his private purse, and hsd been left by him and his Oueen Charlotte to the royal family of Han ‘*As the jewels thus claimed are sup posed to tic worth considerably more than 1,000.000 a single stone having cost nearly -•?,< >' 0 pounds, they were not to be relinquished without a struggle; and lam assured that ever}' possible expedient was resorted to'in England to baffle the claimant. Ulti mately, in the lifetime of „he late King, the importunity oi the Hanoverian Min istry of the day to consent that (he rights of the two sovereigns should be submit ted to a commission composed of three English judges; but the proceedings of the commission were so ingeniously pro tracted tnat all the commissioners died without arriving at any decision • and until Lord Clarendon received the seals of the British Foreign Office, all the ef forts of the Court of Hanover to obtain a fresh commission were in vain. Lord Clarendon, however, seems to have per c ived that such attempts to stifle inquiry were unworthy of his country, tor he consented that afresh commission should be issued to three English judges|of the highest eminence, who, after investiga tion, found the Hanoverian claims to be indisputably just, and reported in its favor. The Court here consequently is in high glee this Christmas, at the pros pect of removing the crown and regalia,, so jealously guarded in the Tower of London, almost bodily to Hanover.” A lady-skater in Philadelphia lately fell upon the ice, with hands extended to break the tall, just as a swift skater was gliding past. He could not check his speed, and one of liis skates cut off three of her fingers. Herald job printing office, No. 11l Bay Strutt, Savannah. Georgia.
