Thoughts of the Past.
Bring music, for it fills my soul *
With rapture and delight,
Let roses crown the flowing bowl,
And we’ll be gay to-night!
Yes gay ! although a mournful tone
Is lingering in my heart,
And dreams of joy forever Jloum
Within my bosom start.
On with the dance! yet oh, prolong
Each melancholy note,
For as amid the glittering throng
Their plaintive numbers float,
I feel iyoild, strange thrill of joy
Whjfeyet my heart is sad,
And memory would the smile destroy
Which seemed but now so glad.
As summer breezes lightly rest
Upon a calm, clear lake,
And scarce upon its placid breast
The silver) ripples wake,
These tiiougiits of sadness and of bliss
Come sweeping gently by,
Sottas the thrill of love's own kiss
And mournful as its sigh.
But summer breeze perchance may wake
The spirit ot the storm,
And every ripple on the lake
An angry billow form.
Thus saddened thoughts which seemed at
[first
So sweetly mixed with joy,
Within my heart now madly burst
And every hope destroy.
For memory’s tear oft dims the light
Of p.easurc’s radiant wing,
And sheds on every flower a blight
Whieli in the breast may spring;
But oh! when ew ry hope lias fled,
What thoughts of anguish start
As tears we must not, dare not shed,
Fall burning on the heart.
Yet once again—oh: softly thrill,
The notes 1 love to hear,
Andi wiil dream of joy, while still
The echo rills mine ear.
On with the dance! from dreams of bliss
Perchance my heart may wake,
Nor be the first ’mid seenes like this
To linger on, and break!

The astonished and enraged traveller
sprang from his bed, and was soon heard
rushing about in search of his landlord,
swearing vengeance against him and all

tearing through the passages, hanging the
doors, and roaring like a grizzy—bull.

Message from the Spirit of Edgai
A. Poe.
It appears that the “spiritual rappers” are
astonishing even the sane men in New Eng
land. They not only profess to hold com
munion with the dead, but possess literary
merit sufficient to indite the most beautiful
poetical messages from their spirits The
Springfield Republican says: •
“The last number of the Spirit Messenger
contains a message and a poem„purporting
to have issued from the spirit of Edgar A.
Poe. The poem, and the prose message
introducing it, challenge attention, at once,
by their intrinsic literary merit, and by a
marvelously close alliance to the style of
versification, thought and genius of the au
thor from whose spirit they are alleged to
have emanated. They were communicated
through the “writing medium,” Lydia Teu-
ny. We ask for these productions a close
examination by all who have studied the
erratic genius of Poe, who, whether good,
bad. or indifferent, as a writer, never had a
parallel. We may over-rate these produc-

It was one of the extensive holsteries
which are to be‘’tied up to’ t in most of
the large towns in the iuterior of New
York, tli at the following scene actually oc-
cured, as can be proved by a cloud ot wit
nesses who have heard the Landlord tell
the story.
The hotel referred to was on the occa
sion of which we are speaking, rather full
and the nephew ot the landlord, lay sick in
one of the rooms on the third floor, lie
was to receive medicine during the night
from the hands of a person who had been
procured to “watch” with him. The land
lord had instructed the aforesaid watcher
to administer a portion of some little phys
ic to the patient at 12 o’clock; the do*e to
be repeated at certain hours of the night.
“He is is rather techy,” said the land
lord, “and you had better keep out of his
room until you go up to give him the med
icine.”
‘Oh, for that matter,” replied the watch
er, who was a novice in the vocation, “I
prefer to sit here;” and he eyed the sofa
which was in the apartment, in suspicious
manner.
“Well,” said the landlord, “won’t forget
the number of his room.’
“No sir.”
“And tell him he must take his medicine
without making such a confounded fuss as
he made the iast dose, fell him that 1
say he must take it—it is good for him.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Good-night.”
“Good night.”

The Irishman here became entangled in
the meshes of a wooden settee which stood
in his way, and at the same time the land
lord’s wife seized her wrathy lord—al
though a host in himself, she was not will
ing to risk him in a rough and tumble fight
in the dark—and plucked him back into
the sleepiug apartment, she locked the door
and bolted it securely.
The prospective purchaser of “wistern
lands,” having extricated his legs and arms
from those of the settee, still thirsted for
the landlord’s blood. *

At this juncture, Mike the hostler, made
his oppearance with a lantern, which he
held up to the physic-smeared lace of the
enraged traveller with a polite request that
he would hold his tongue. But mike was
at last compelled to give his iellow-coun-
tryman a good beating, which had the ef
fect to restore him to good humor, and
when he found he was not poisoned after all
he retired once mare to his bep room to
dream of the “farrum” which he was going
to buy in the ‘wistern country.—Boston
Times.
From the London Punch.
Many a pilot on the sea of matrimonial
difficulties and phases will appreciate the
rich humor aud truth of Punch’s remarks
on the ‘Law of Domestic Storms.” Hear
him!
By a long series of observations it has
been found that domestic storms, like other
storinSj are rotatory; or, in other words,
they move in a circle, and come round at
regular intervals. The domestic storm, as
we have already seen, rages frequently very
high at about Christmas times when the
trade winds are prevalent. There is reason
to believe that these trade winds, which
come in counter directions, are preceded
by much heavy swelling, and by the ex
treme latitude into which the master has
been driven by the eccentric action of his
craft. This was the case in the instance of
the Eliza, which after being first set in mo
tion by gentle airs, gave her head com-

to be steeped in the very spirit of Poe,
whether they emanated from his spirit or
not. The allusion to the fearful “spirit-
spasm,” a phrase most felicitous in descri
bing Poe’s life of darkness; the “hideous but
alluring fancies” in which he groaned, and
on which he gloated; the incidental, hardly
perceptible, allusion to that one soul that
haunted all his poems—the “Lost Lenore”
—ali tend to show that it is the work of a
rare master of deception, a most thorough
adept in art, or that it is precisely what it
claims to be.
We present these productions without
further comment, simply remarking that,
regarded as a curiosity in literature, we
have not seen its equal in many a day:
“Listen to me, and I will tell you of beau
tiful things—of thoughts both wild and
tender, both soothing and tumultuous, which
dwelt in a human heart. A question which
has moved the minds of millions is, What
is the end and aim of imagination? for what
was it implanted in the human organization?
What was my own? but a vortex rushing
within itself, upon whose brink I could
seem to stand, and see wbat was being
swallowed and reproduced—thorns, jagged
rocks, beautiful flowers all in the whirl ol
this ceaseless current merged.
O, the dark, the awful chasm
O, the fearful spirit spasm!
Wrought my unresisted passion,
In my heart.
Fancies hideous, but alluring,
Love, pure, but unenduring,
From time to time securing,
Each a part.
Then embraced by seraph hands—
Drawn by tender, loving hands—
From those treacherous, hateful sands
Of despair.
How my soul was waked to gladness,
Aud cast off the deadening sadness,
And the soul devouring madness
Writhing there.
Then came dreams so soft and holy,
Over roses wandering slowly,
With sweet music stealing slowly,
To my ear.
Hark! I hear—I hear her calling,
In toues no more of wailing,
But in dewy sweetness falling—
“Here—up here!”
Thanks, Great Heaven, I am stronger—
Slave to earthly lust no longer,
I am free.
O, this Lightness! O, this brightness
O, this pure and heavenly whiteness,
Marking thee!
Freed from earth and sin forever,
Death, can us no more dissever,
Humbly thank Great God together,
Thou and me.
The process of exhaustion that is carried
on with the soil of this couutry we may not
realize until there ceases to be any new
land to occupy. It is conceded that in New
York, where a few years ago the average
product was thirty bushels of wheat per
acre, it is now reduced to fiftee i. It is said
by some philosophers that there is nothing
lost in nature—that the burning wood as
cending to the heavens in smoke, returns to
earth in rain, and the carbon diffused in the
atmospht re is absorbed by growing plants.
But what shall return to our over-taxed
soil the wheat and the cotton which they
yield, when they, the essence of the soil,
have been carried beyond the sea? This
suggests the strongest argument in favor of
diversifying our labor so as to tax the soil
less, and against that delusive theory, which
would encourage the export of the truest
wealth of the land, to bring back that
which yields us no return in kind, but only
barrenness.
Let us observe the contrast on this point
between this country aud England. She
exports iron audits manufactures, tin, eop-
per, coal, and salt—all raised from under
the surface of the earth, and manufactures
of cotton and wool. She imports vast quan
tities of food from her less wise neighbors,
all of which is consumed by her workers iu
metals, cotton ai d wool, aud a part of
which is returned to the soil, enabling it to
produce ten fold more per acre than it oth
erwise would do. We, on the contrary, im
port metnls and manufactures that never
can mingle with the soil, while we export
in actual vegetable, fertilizing matter, the
bulk of hundreds of thousands of acres an
nually. England not only retains all the
elements of fertilization existing in the re
fuse of her own crops, but in that of her im
ported food. The maxims of theorists
however, instead of encouraging the crea
tion of consumers in part in the place of
producers alone, compel American farmers
to export a large portion of the fertilizing
elements of each crop to nourish foreign
production.
Tne agriculturist will seethe force of this
contrast and the importance of this con
sideration, when informed that the value of
the manure annually used in the British
Islands is £103,369,139, or five hundreds
millions of dollars. This is more than the
eDtire value of the exports of British pro
duce and manufacture.
The South annually exports of Cotton a-
lone one thousand millions of pounds,
which is so much taken from the soil, of
matter compounded of the elemeuts of fer
tility, never to be returned. The North
and West annually export as many pounds
of breadstufts and provisions, likewise never
to be returned—except wher the deficit is
felt and realized, by the expensive impor
tation of guano or artificial manures, with
out which the exhausted, worn-out soil
would have to be abandoned because it had
ceased to support its owner. Much of the
older settled part of Georgia has, mistaking
ly, we think, been called worn-out. We
confess that the sterile appearance of many
of its red hills and old fields would -convey
the impression, still there is much innate
value there yet, and we trust that our peo
ple will guard themselves against this sys
tem of depletion and exhaustion before it is
too late. Let us husband the remaining
powers of the land, that our plains and hill
sides mav be ever green to us, and that we
need not abaddon theiji to a more thirty
succeeding race.
Calling Upon Squire Swangin, — A
Portland letter writer advises no traveler to
Maine to carry liquor with him. “For,”
says be, ‘.here’s the way to get it: Walk
boldly into the hotel, march up to the
clerk* and enquire if Captain Martellotard
is at home. As the clerk looks keenly and
inquiringly into your face, you must draw
down the left corner of the right eye, the
least bit in the world, and then he will pass
the word to a nimbe little fellow, “show the
gentleman to Squire Swangin’s room.”—
Follow on, and after a few short turns, and
up a stairway, you will be ushered into a
very pretty, warm and comfortable room,
that the law officers know nothing about,
where you will recognise your old friends,
and give them a gentle kiss.”
The Irish Exiles—Interview with the
President—We understand, says the Wash

a cabinet council was called yesterday, to
determine the answer of the President to a
delegation of about 250 persons from Balti
more, with a petition signed by 15,000 in
that citv, and one by 5,000 in Massachusetts
and Maine, asking the intervention of this
government for the release of Smith O’Bri
en, and other Irish exiles. The President
declined the request of the delegation, and
said, in effect, that he could not officially in
terfere—that such interference might be re
pulsed, and this government could not re
sent it or complain. Individually, he would
do what he could for their release.

ited himself on the sofa, from which he was
roused by bis own snoring at a quarter be
fore one. In dismay and confusion he
seized the potion and hurried upstairs.
The sick man was lodged in No. 52, but
the nurse in his haste mistook No. 53 for it,
aud entering the latter, he saw a person ly
ing in the bed, with his mouth wide open,
respiring with that peculiar gurgle iu the
throat which indicates strong lungs and a
plethoric habit.
“Ah !” mentally exclaimed the astute
watcher, “he makes a fuss about taking his
medicine, does he ? I’m blowed tho’ it he
don’t take one dose quietly—before he
wakes up in fact ”
The idea of giving a potion of bitter phy
sic to a somnolent patient was sufficiently
ridiculous ; but when we considered that
the watcher had entered the wrong room
and was about to administer it to the wrong
man, the affair becomes more ludicrous
still.
Our friend the watcher, acted promptly,
and having filled the bowl of a large spoon
with the nauseating mixture, he forced it
down the throat of a sleeping traveller, who
happened to be a healthy Hibernian that
had never tasted physic before in his life.
The Irishman struggled and bit the spoon
severely, but the watcher piunged it srill
deeper iu his throat, saying as he did so.
“Oh, but you rows? take it—the landlord
says you
must!
The nasty dose went down, but when

Dabster says he would not mind living as

An Uncalled for Amen.—A correspon
dent of the Methodist Protestant relates the
following story, which is too good to be lost:
A very sensitive preacher, in ascertain town
not more than a hundred miles from Balti
more, was discursing with great warmth on
the uncertainty of human life. To give the
greater effect to his remarks, after assuring
his hearers that they might die before an
hour had elapsed, he said, “And I your
speaker, may be dead before another morn
ing dawns.” “Amen!” was the audible res
ponse of a pious and much-loved brother
in the congregation. The preacher was ev
idently disconcertded for a moment. He
thought the brother must have misunder
stood diis meaning. Pausing awhile, he
repeated the declaration with still greater
emphasis—“Before another hourvonrspeak-
er maj^)e#n eternity.” “Amen!” shouted
the brother before him. It was too much
for the sensitive man; and, stammering out
a few additional remarks, he sat down, be
fore he had finished his discourse.
“Brother— ” said the preacher, next
day, to his kind-hearted friend of the amen
corner, “what did you mean by saying
amen to my remarks last night? Do you
wish I was dead?”
“Not at all,” said the brother, “not at all.
I thought, if you should die, you would go
straight to glory, and I meant amen to that!’’
Matrimonial Extraordinary.-' , Will you

“Wall, squire,” was the reply, “you must

that are. Do you think I’d be such a pla
guy fool as to go to the bar hunt, and take
this gal from the quiltin’ frolic, if I wasn’t

her? Drive on with your business.”
