REFLECTIONS ON A DREAM.
BY D. POST ELL.
Last night, how quiet was my mind ;
And howr devoid ofev'ry grief;
'Twns tranquil at the Southern wind,
Which scarcely agitates a leaf :
'Twas milder than the clear blue sky
Without a sing'e cloud ; and then,
So calm, that il forgot to sigh,
Or think, that oh ! ’twnuld bleed again !
A form arose before my mind ;
Oh ! how it ninde my bosom thrill !
The Spirit never can he blind,
'Mid the world’s deepest, darkest ill !
What caus'd this vision,—this sweet dream,
Which was so heav'nly bright and fair ;
Causing my bosom then to seem,
-As if there was no sorrow there f
'Tie not so now ; 'tis gone, ’tis fled ;
I fear'd it was ton sweet to Inst :
It was a light which round me shed,
A brilliant ray ; but now tis pest.
Oh ! I was never form’d for Ibis ;
Why was it ever sent to me ?
Was it to yield a transient bliss,
Then drown in deeper misery f
The cause, alas ! I know it well f
I felt it then—l feel it yet:
It was not that I hid farewell,
Or cherish'd aught of deep regret!
Thera is a form, a lovely one,
That I do worship fearfully ;
For thus to love this form alone,
Is loss of heav’n eternally !
And there were eyes that seem’d to shine,
Far brighter than they shone before ;
And cheeks on which there did recline,
A blushing smile, I did adore.
Methouglit those eyes did rest on me,
And tell me what the tongue would not ;
That smile too, oh how thrillingly
It waken’d thoughts, I've not forgot !
But now, those eyes are dim again ;
Those cheeks arc colorless—and strange,
I mark the sigh, which speaks of pain,
Instead of joy ;—why is this change ?
And if per chance those eyes now meet
Mine, with tlieir eager searchingnoss,
They do not gaze as brightly sweet,
As once they did—with spriglitliness.
Why is this change in cheek and eye ;
In ev’ry index ofthe heart ?
Oh ! thought, be still ; to this I’ll fly,
Thou wilt not say that wa must part *
I've known, have felt of Earth's deceit ;
Hare purchas'd hope with deadly cost ;
And now 'liescatter'd at my feet;
I almost feci that I am lost.

Tailing the Starch out of'em!
BY THE YOUNG ’ UN.
A knot of idlers stood upon the end of
a pier which ran out into the Hudson Ri.
ver. in one of the small towns near Alha
r>\. il few days ago, amusing themselves
with hurling stones into the broad stream,
each vieing with his neighbor in the en
(leaver to pitch a missle at the farthest dis
tance from the shore, when a tall, rugged
lmilt, Vermonter, direct from the Green
Hills, suddenly made his appearance in
theii midst, and for a while remained n
quiet observer of their movements.
He was a brawny, strong-looking Yan
kee ami very decently clad. The effirts
of the little party had been exibited ovet
and over again, when the stranger quietly
picked up half a brick which lay nearhim,
and giving it a jerk, it fell in the water u
long way beyotmd the line which bad as
yet been reached by the foremost of the
crowd. At the conclusion of this feat, a
loud “ bravo!” went up from half a do
zen voices around him.
It was a cold, clear day in October, and
the men, determined not to be outdone
renewed their attempts; but the Vermon
ter, without saying a syllable to any one*
entinued to pitch the pebbles far out into
the stream, which seemed to annoy one of
them in a green jacket the apparent leader
of the gang, who declared he wouldn’t be
a "feller right stiait out o’ the woods, no

determined to make his acquaintance.
“Where do you come from,neighbor !’’

“ Haint been in these parts long, I

** Wal—no. Not edzakly, yere—but

“ Yis—so 1 ’sposed.”
“ Yaas,” continued the green ’nn, care
lessly, and seizing a big billet of wood, he
twirled it over his head, and it landed sev

“ You’ve a little strength in your arms

“ Haw—haw !" shouted his hearer*,
the man in the green jacket laughing k>ud
est.
" May be you don't b’lieve it."
‘Not much,' answered the crowd.
“We aint r try green, down here in
York— tee aint,” Raid the fellow in th*
green jacket ; “ we’ve been about, you
see."
"Wal.jes yeu look yete, friend,” con
tinued the Vermonter, in the most plausi
ble manner ; “up in aour canunty, we’re
a putty big river, considerin'—lnyun Riv
er, it'a called, and may he you’ve beam on
it. Wal, I hove a man clean across that
river t'other day, and he came down fair
and square on t’other side I"
* Ha, ha, ha /" j elled his nnditors.
" Wal, mow, yeu may lass, but 1 kin deu
it agin.” .
"Do w hat ?” said tho green-jaket, quick*
iy-
"I kin take and heave yeu across that
rivrry yender, jest like open andshet!”
"Bet you ten dollats of it.”
“ Done!” said the Yankee ; and draw
ing forth an X (upon a broken Down-East
bank !) be covered the shinplaster.
" Kin yeu swim, feller?”
“ Like a duck," said green jacket—-am!
without futther parley tho Vermonter seiz
ed the knowing Yorker stoutly by th®
nape of the neck and tiie seat of his pants,
jerked him from his foothold, an almost
superhuman eff .rt, dashed him heels over
ftom the end of the dock—some ten yards
out into the Hudson River.
A terrific shout rang though the crowd,
ns ho floundered into the water, and amidst
thejeors and screamsnf his companions, the
ducked loafer put buck to the shore am!
scrambled up the hank, half frozen hy this
sudden and involuntary cold hath.
" I'll take that ten-spot, if you please.”
said he, shivering, advancing rapidly to the
stakeholder. "You took trs for green
horns, eh?— We’ll show you how tee do
things down here in York”—and the fel
low claimed the twenty dollars.
“ Wall, I reck’n you wont take no ten
spots jes’ yit, cap’n.”
" Why ? You’ve lost the bet.”
" Not edzactly. I didn’t calkilate on
deunin’ it thefust time —hut I tell yeu, I
kin deu it,” —and again in spite of the
loafer’s utmost efforts to escape him, he
seized him hy the neck and tho seat of his
over-alls, and pitched him three yards far
ther into the river than upon the first
trial!
Again green-jacket returned, amid the
shouts of his mates, who enjoyed the sport
immensely.
“ Third time never fails,” said the Yan
kee, stlipping off his coat; 1 kin deu it, I
tell ye.”
“ Mold on!” said the almost petrified
victim—
“ And 1 will deu h—efltry till tomorrer
momin’."
“ I give it up !” shouted the sufferer, be.
tween his teeth, which now chattered like
a mad badger’s—“take the money.”
The Vermonter ver coolly poketed the
stakes, and rs he turned away, remarked :
“ We aint much acquainted with yeu
smart folks daourn here’n York, but we
sometimes‘take the starch aout of’em up
our way—and p’raps yeu’ll put it on tu
strangers agin. I rtch'n you wont,” he con
tinued, and puttingon a broad grin of good
humor, he left the company to their reflec
tions !
Spontaneous Combustion or Cotton.
—We clip the following from a communi
cation in the N. Y. Journal of Commerce s
The destruction of property in this city,
by fire orginating in cotton stores, has be
come so great as to demand attention.—
The loss from this cause, in eleven firea
occuring here and in Brooklyn thirteen
months, has been estimated at about »
million and a quarter of dollars. Hence,
there is a disposition Bmong insurance
companies to increase the rate on cotton
risks.
Experienced underwitersentertain the
opinion that fire arises spontaneously in
cotton stores and strong circumstantial
evidence can be produced in support of
their opinion. A chemical investigation
would readily test the truth of this opinion
and tho hoard of underwriters will pro
bably submit the question to that test.—
Meantime, however, would it not be ad
visable for public authorities here and else
where, to devote some at ontion to an in
vest:gatipn of the ***'£’’•* and arvse of fire*!
