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.

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 connected with his house.

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.

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.” J.

The prospective purchaser of “wistern lands,” having extricated his legs and arms from those of the settee, still thirsted for the landlord’s blood. * “Bring me till the mnrtherin ould villian let me come at him ! 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- From the Savannah Republican.

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 ington Southern Press of Friday last, that 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. * ^ .. w . .., New Electric Engine.—Messrs.

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!

Dabster says he would not mind living as a bachelor, but when he comes to think that bachelors must die—that they have got to go down to the grave “without any body to cry for them”—it gives him a chill that frost-bites his philosophy.

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 take this woman to be your wedded wife?” said an Illinois magistrate, to the masculine of a couple who stood before him. “Wall, squire,” was the reply, “you must be a green ’un to ax me such a question as that are.
