Like the palace domes of dream-land, Built by the wild levered biain— High, they stretch their marble arches, O’er the moonlit forest pluin. Near them Lethe’s deep, dark river Rolls its sad and silent wave— Bearing earth's forgotten tressu es, Downward to Oblivion's grave : Whilst the Be'.ls of Time are tolling, On the watch-towers mournfully, As the wrecks of life are pn-witig Unremembered to decay.' ’* * ~ But through every opening portal. Swift the light-winged Hours press in. And on rich and glowing canvas. Paint each loved and passing scene; Bringing from the fatal river Treasures beautiful and bright— And in Crystal tombs enshrining Every chosen form of Light. Here the spirit, worn, may wander ’Midst the scenes it loved of yore, And revisit friendly faces, Fled from earth forevermore. Whilst the radiant painted canvas Our departed joys recalls— And again, iu sweetness bids us, Live the past in Memory’s Halls There the visions of our childhood Move beneath those arches high. Like the shadowy forms of Angels, In the cloudless moonlit sky; 1 ill by all around euchanted, Age and sorrow pass away, And our souls, forever haunted, Walk the Halls of Memory. THY WILL BE DONE. Searcher of Hearts! from mine erase All thoughts that should not be, And in its deep recesses trace My gratitude to Thee. Hearer of Prayer 1 oh, guide aright Each word and deed of mine; Life’s battle teach me how to fight, And be the victory Thine.

(lie work recently issued, enti Brooksiana”—not the book with the same title published under the direction of Bishop Hughes, and which, while purporting to give the whole of the correspondence between Bishop Hughes and senator Brooks, left our,three of Mr. Brooks’s letters, and subMitut^dJn their place other matters not thej^Huinote- ly connected with the stfcjec! of the controversy—but ihe book published by Davenport & Co., and which contains the whole of said correspondence. Now, for no other offense than selling this book the poor unforttmH^ gentle man was arrested by Catnonc police officers, treated with insult and indigni ty, and taken to the Tomb9, and that, too, in a land boasting of its freedom. The man soon regained, it is true* bis liberty, and is now, as before* actively engaged in earning an honest support by selling that and other books ; but the oc- cut rence shows what is the real spirit of Romanism ; that it wili not scruple at any means to accomplish its ends. Its principles are undying, and but for the restraints to which it issubjected it would soon put an end to all that we as Pro testants hold dear.

It was discovered by several, who had the honor of being then in the Senate, that it had become necessary to put an end to this great and growing evil; and the bumble individual who now addresses you one day rose in bis place in that body, ar.d declared for him self and other Senators with whom he had consulted, that they bad resolved to tear up the evils alluded to by the roots, by refusing in all cases to confirm the nominations which could be traced to a certain official personage, (pointing, at that moment, to the chnir occupied by the celebrated Senator of New York.) and expressing the belief that the politi cal heresy of Freesoil would be effectual ly extirpated so soon as the jispiring tuition in the art which it teaches. Beautiful.—When the last rays of the sun gild the summit of the Alps, ihe sheppard who dwells on the mountain, takev his horn, which is used th convey as he is heard, the neighboring shepards leave their huts, and repeat the words. The sound lasts many minutes for every echo of the raouhtalh, gfotto of the rocks; repeats the name of God. Profits of Orchards.—A dis tinguished agriculturist, who has 1000 apple trees, and intends to Set out as many more, says that if apples will sell at 25 cents per bushel, they ate his most profitable crop ; and if they will not sell, they are the cheapest food he can raise for all kiads of animals. ‘ The body. of man,’ say the anato mists, * changes entirely every 7 years.’ ‘Wherefore,’ says Jones, ‘my tailor should not ask tne for the bill 1 contract ed seven years ago—I am not the same person—hence l owe him nothing.’ Satisfactory Explantion.—•“ I did it in a fit of abstraction,” as the boy said who was accused of stealing peaches. “ What’s whiskey bringing ?” inquired a dealer in that article. “ Bringing men to the gallows,” was the reply. How to cut an Acquaintance.—If he is poor, lend him some m'ohey; if he is rich, ask him to lend you some. Both means are certain.

What state could fall/ what liberty decay, if the zeal of man’s noisy patriotism wa3 as pure as the silent loyalty Of woman’s love ?

[-July 5. THE INTOLERANT SPIRIT OF ROMANISM. That Romanism has rapidly been gaining strength in this country within a few years past is a fact which it is use less to disguise or deny. It now num bers 3.000.000 followers, has nearly 1,600 priests, 1,700 churches, and more than 100 male and female seminaries and colleges. This increase, it is true is the result solely of immigration.— Very few cases have occmred < f Pro testants turning Romanists, but many hundreds of the latter have turned Pro testants And this increase is not like ly to be vefy sooti checked. Gppres sive taxes and low wages will cause the tide of immigration from Papal lands to pour in upon us for yeats to come, with all its past fullness. And have we noth ing to fear from this vast influx of the followers of the Pope ? Are the institu tions purchased for us by the blood of our forefathers, and bequeathed to us as their richest legacy, in no danger from the machinatious*and Jesuitical arts of corrupt Rome? There are those who apprehend no such danger. But they have either mistaken,*he character,or shut their eyes to the practical working of the Papal system.—What is the basis ofour insti tutions? Is it not the Bible? And has not Popery always been hostile to that blessed book ?—Has it not labored in every possible way, even by employ ing, when it dared, tbe fagot, and the flames, to keep the word of God from the hands of the people ? And has that opposition to the Bible lost any of its virulence and force with the lapse of time? Let those who so think visit tbe countries of tbe Old World where Pope ry is the prevailing religion, ant! they will be satisfied that it is as much a foe to an open Bible now, as it was in the days of Inquisition and of Auto da fes. But it is not necessary to go abroad to find proof of its intolerant and bigoted spirit. Its attempts in this state to ex clude the Bible from our common schools are of too recent occurrence to be for gotten. Those attempts, it is true, fail ed, but there can be no doubt that they will he renewed at every favorable oppor tunity ; and if Jesuitical cunning and in trigue can effect it, they will be success ful. It would be easy to show by other facts in its history, as well as by cita tions from Catholic publications, the an tagonism of Popery to our civil and re ligious freedom, and its unchanged persecuting spirit;but our limits will not permit at present. We cannot, how ever, refrain from mentioning, by way of illustration, a recent occurrence in this city. An inoffensive and respecta ble gentleman, known as the blue man, because in consequence of the injudicious use of medicine his color is ch&ngcd from white to dee)? blue; and who supports him-elf by the sate of books, was, a few days sgo, arrestedjby certain Catholic police officers, in Broadway, for selling turned expectantly upon him.
