CHILDHOOD. *• Sister, arias, the sun shines bright, ‘The bee is humming in ihe air, The stream is ningiug in tlie light, ‘J’lie May-buda never looked more fair; Blue is the sky, no ram to day : Get up—it lihh been light for hours, And we have not begun to play, Nor have we gathered any flowers. Time, who looked on, each accent caught, And said, 4 He is too young for thought.’ YOUTH. “ To-nfghl, beside the gniden-gate ? Oh, wliala while the night is coining ! I never saw the sun so hue, Nor heuid the bee nt this time humming! 1 thought the flowers au hour ago Hud closed their bells nnd sunk to rest: How slowly Hies that hooded crow! How light it is along the West! Said Time, 4 He yei bath to be taught That I ofi move too quick for thought*’ MANHOOD. “ What thoughts wouid’st thou in me awaken? Not love ? for that brings only tears — Nor friendship ? no, I was forsaken! Pleasure I have not known for years : The (inure 1 would not foresee; 1 know too much from what is past: No happiness is there for me, And troubles ever come too fast. Said time, 4 No comfort have I brought: The past to hitn’s one painful thought. OI.D AC.E. 44 Somehow the flowers seem different now, The daisies dimmer than of old ; There’s fewer blsosoms on the bough, The hawthorn buds look gray and cold ; The pansies wore nuothcr dye When 1 was young, when 1 was young ! There’s not that blue about the sky Which every way in those days hung. There’s nothing now- looks as it‘ought.’ JSaid Time, ‘'The change is in thy thought'’ ” Last Strugclkard Death of Marshal Poniatowpki.— The allies brought to the encounter nt Leipsic nearly three hundred thousand men, nnd thirteen hundred cannon, while Kuonnpart had but one hundred and twenty-fivethou sand, and .*even hundred and fifty cannon. ‘The latter were drawn up n round Leipsic—with the city and the river Elster lying in the rear—awaiting the onset ofthe immense host that was moving to the attack. Al 9 o’clock the battle opened and nearly half a million of men engaged in mortal combat. The scene ut this moment was indescribably tw ful—the whole plain was black with the moving m •<*<-*, save where the myriads of glittering helmets arose and tell in the sunlight, while eighteen hundred cannon, in one huge semicircle opened their united thunder on the French. Clouds of dust filled the air, and amid the roar ol artillery, the strains ofmurtial music, the shrill neighing of tens of thousands of horses moving to battle, and all the deaf ening clamor and solemn murmurs ofa mighty army, the shock came. Nearly two thousand cannon opened with terrific ex plosions ou the living masses, nnd the frightful carnage began. Poniatowski on the right was first engaged. Made Marshal of France the day before by the Emperor, he burned to distin guish himself, and though at first forced back by the heavy charge, he fit mly held his position against the united onset of the artillery, cavalry nnd, infantry, that from morning till night thundered in overwhelming numbers and power on his dimin ished troops. A wilderday thisnaiih never saw ,—when darkness seperated the combatants, both armies sunk down exhausted, and silence solemn and awful, fell over the bloody field. Napoleon was beaten,and soon gave orders to retreat. All night long, the w-enrv thousands went nouring over the bridge, and when daylight dawned, the allies beheld with joy, the re treating masses ofthe enemy. A general movement on Leip sic immediately followed, and the victorious columns went rushing with shouts to its attack. All was uproar and confu sion. Artillery, infantry, nnd cavalry, ammunition and bag gage wagons, and chariots, were crowded nnd rolled together und went streaming over the only remaining bridge* A rear guard under Macdonald, Lauriston and Poniatowski, was form ed to cover this disorderly retreat. As Napoleon gave his di rections to each, he said to Poniatowski, 44 Prince, you will defend the suburbs of the south.” “ Sire,” he replied 44 1 have hot few followers left.” (He had hut two thousand seven hundred Ult out of all tt> i>m-ro Pole* he led two days before into battle.) 44 What then,” added Napoleon, 44 you will defend it with what you have ?” “ Ah sire,” replied the exhausted, but still unconquered chieftain, 44 we ore all ready to die for your majesty.” I have already spoken in my sketch of Macdonald, of the de-. fence those two leaders made, and of the consternation and woe that followed the premature blowing up of the bridge. Pon iatowski struggled bravely to arrest the victorious allies, until he heard the explosion that sent it into the air; and then he drew his sword, saying to ihe officers around him, 44 Gentle men, it now behoves us to die with honor.” With this little band around him, he dashed on a column of the enemy that crossed his path,nnd though severely wounded, fought his way through to the Pleisso, a small stream he must cross before he reached the Elster. Dismounting from his horse, he passed it on foot, but finding he was fainting through fatigue and loss of blood, he attempted to mount another. With difficulty vault ing to the saddle, he surged boldly into the Elster. 11 is good steed bore him snfelv across, but as he was struggling up the opposite bank the earth gave wav under his feet, and befell hack on his rider and Poniatowski disappeared in the water nnd never rose ucuin. Weary, wounded, and bleeding, thin last calamity was too much for his strength—und lie had done as he said, 44 died with honor.” The allies celebrated bis funeral w ith great magnificence, and those kings who had driven his fittnilv from the throne, burned his capitol iu ashes, plundered and divided his country, un it were common booty, now gathered in silent uornp around his coffin. Countless banners drooped mournfully over the fallen chief—mighty armies formed his funeral procession, nnd elegiac strains from n thousand trumpets wpre breathed over bis grave. But amid all this imposing mockery of woe the no ble-hearted Pole was not without some sincere mourners. His few remaining followers who had battled by his side to the Inst pressed in silence around bis coffin, nnd with tears streaming down their faces, reached out their hands to touch the pall.— ‘There lay the Prince they had loved—the leader they had fol lowed—the Insi ofthe royal line,nnd the only hope of Poland fold und stiff in death. Ah, the tears of those rough worriors were worth more than all the pomp and mugnificence imperial pride hud gathered round that bier, and honored the patriot for whom they were shed, more than royal eulogies or splendid pa geants. lleadley. The Late Capt. Viktor. —The death of this gallant officer, nt Vera Cruz, has been made the subject of a gieat deal of interesting comment, in the press generally. It mnv not be known to many that, at one time, nnd indeed for some .years together, he had serious thoughts of following the example of his two distinguished brothers, Alexander and Francis, and taking orders in the Episcopal Church. Hut he was called to take a part in the Florida campaign, and since that time has been constantly occupied in his country's service. Os him, we find, in the Providence Journal, the following interesting notice; A* a Christian soldier, his life may he a lesson to the young, to combine piety w ith patriotism, and rectify the calculat ions of earthly ambition, by referring tin m to a heavenly standard.— Let Ids own more emphatic words tp**ak for him—the earnest and last, written shortly before his death—so touchingly pro phetic of his impending fate, wtth all the tenderness ofa voice from the tomb—with all the authority of a voice from above it. 41 I have hitherto lived mostly for others—but my children will reap some of the fruits of my self-denial, bv the means I shall leave them of living independently, and securing a good education. I commit them in full reliance to the care of their Heavenly Father, and I hope their trust in Him will ever he at least as firm and unceasing as has been my own. My con fidence in (he overruling Providence of God is unqualified; so tbai I go to the field of action fully assured that whatever may befall me will be for the best. 1 feel proud to serve my coun try in this her time of appeal ; and should even the worst— death itself—he mv lot, I hall ine't it cheerfully, concurring fully in the !>eautiful Roman sentiment, “ Dulceei decorum est , pro Patria mori .” Table Tw.k.—- (Borrowed from a piper that stole it and gave no credit.) Home of the Representatives to the Legislature uro occasion ally the subjec|s of x.joke, probably from their inquisitive dis positions. At the tfthlt*4)foue of our Hotels one of the “wis dom” who was in the habit of asking those nround* him. in stead of ihe w aiter, to wait on him, one day asked Mac, the ; gentleman oppoatte H ‘thin you iwncli them pert a ter s, sir?” Mdc extended his jirtn toward, the dish an/f satisfied hfrnsel thaf lie could reach the pertaters, and answered, # es sir.'* • ‘ • .* • “And will.you stick my fork into one of*em ?” ask the Rep-* re* •illative. • , “O, certainly t ” said Mac, as he took ihe fork, carefully stab bing it into the potato, where he 101 l it. At this the Representative was somewhat vexed, and asked rather tartly— “ Will you pass me my fork ?** “All!—your fork!—yes—eh, yes, sir!”—and taking hold of the fork, lie drew it from the potato, nnd passed it bock to the Representative, whose nerves seemed not a little shocked. “Waiter!— waiter! I say !”—-cried the Representative, “will \ou pass me a pertater? I’ve been Irriu’ lor half an hour to get one. and if you don’t pass ’em along purty sitnc, I'll va cate my seat and report your conduct to my insulted constit erwenu!”- Boston Ploughman. Dukamii.ity or th* Wood or the Locust ‘Thee—The following notes realtivo to the durability of the locuat wood ( Kobinia pseudo acacia) have been made by M. Pepin, Jardin t'u Roi. Paris. A number of trees were felled that had been planted from forty to forty-five years; but not more than one in five of tboie wheelwrights who came to purchase apprecia ted sufficiently llto locust, the others preferring the elm. Ulti mately the locust was sold to the person who knew its value, nt one third higher price than the elm. The purchaser found that spokes made of the wood in question lasted two sets of telloee, and were likely to answer for a third. Tinier equal VOL. XXV.—No. 5. circumstances of wear and tear, spokes made of iocuat wood vvern uerfectly sound, whilst those of oak required to b re placed. M. repin further states that the ends of locust gate post*, which had been in the soil for upwards of forty years, j worf> B, ill not decayed. This sort of wood employed as feet, | or supporters, for chests made ot oak, proved sound, although the ouk plank in contact with them had been thrice renewed: hut oak supporters decay simultaneously with the oak planks composing the chests. Vine props of locust wood are greatly 1 esteemed.— (Jardincr’a Chronicle. HjPTiie Durability or Oak—The durability of oak may he known from the fact that the throne of Edward the Confes s"r is 800 years old; one of the oaken coronation chairs has been in its present situation in Westminster Abbey 540 years; arid the oldest wooden bridge of wiiicii we have any account is ol oak; it is rhut famous for its defence Hy Hortatiue Codes, and which existed 400 years before Christ. Chamois in Trade.—Few persons ore aware of the chang es that are continually taking place in trade and commerce— witness the following: Mr. Sturgis of Boston, in a lecture delivered some two or three years ago, on trade and finances, he referred also to the singular changes of fashion. Nankeens, said he, were once imported in large quantities. As late as 1820 there wee one million of dollars worth imported; now there ienone. In 1806 Cantvn crape was first used; in 1810 ten cases were imported; in 1816 there was 12,000 pieces; in 1826 the importations amounted to a million and a half of dollars; and in 1844 the a* tide was not imported. Yet the country has lest nothing by this caprice of fashion, as our women appear as lovely in nine penny Lowell calico as in Canton crape. Silk was once imported in large quantities from China; a cargo of nearly.a million of dollars’ worth, once was landed in this country; and now the whole yearly importation from Chi na amounts to less than SIOO,OOO. Great changes have also taken pUce in regard lo the pay of our Chinese importations. In mB. $7,000,000 in specie were carried to China, but now our purchases are paid for in hills of exchange on England, of the opium trade. The Fur trade wae commenced in 1787 ; and in 1802 there were fifteen American vessels engaged in it, and now it has ceased altogether. MINESOTA. I'he Toledo Blade furnishes the following interesting sketch of this new Territory: “!t is bounded on the north hy Canada West; on the east by I Michigan and Wisconsin; on the south by the parallel of 43 degrees 30 minutes, which is the most northern line of Iowa; and on the west by the river Sioux and Red River of the North, i he lino separating Minesota from Michigan is Lake Superior, and that separating it from Wisconsin passes along Lake Su perior to the Falls of the St. Louie river, and thence south till it strikes the river St. Croix, which it follows to the Mississip pi. Thence down the Mississippi to latitude 43|, the place of beginning. “Embruced within these boundaries there are about 90,060 square miles—equal to 58,000,000 of acres. It is in nearly the some latitude as the Stale of Maine. In area it exceeds the Island of Great Britain, and it is nearly equal to France. Com paring it with old States, it is ns large as New York and Penn sylvania. I* or the production of w heat and the grasses its soil and climate are favorable Now, it appears to the people of the United States as extremely distant and interior. So did Wisconsin fifteen years ago. In commercial advantages, it will not he one of l lie most favored of the States, nor yet one cf the least. By means of Lake Superior, on which if borders for more than one hundred miles, from Pigeon River to Fond du Lac, its northern and middle portion will have cheap communi ention with all the Lake shores, and the Atlantic, and through the t jiper Mississippi and St. Peter’s Rivers, will hold easy intercourse with the whole great valley below. “Lake Superior affords abundance of good harbors, and the Mississippi offers fine navigation up to the Falls of St Anthony, more tliau 100 miles above the southern boundary of Minesota. “With (lie exception of its western portion, it is well water ed by rivers ana lakes. Its luke border is rich in metalliferous depositee. “ihe most important points in Minesota, at present, and probably for all time to come, are Fond du Lac, at the western extremity of Lake Superior, ond Fort Seeding, near the Falls ol St. Anthony. ‘ many, its cold climate will be an objection. It ie pretty well north, but if a man wishes to raise a vigorous fam ily (and we know of nothing more desirable) he will much sooner seek i home in Minesota than in Texas. There is, however, abundant room, as yet, this side of that territory.— .Northwestern Ohio,Michigan, arid Wisconsin, should first be settled.” Yankee Roardino.—“What do you charge fer board?” asked a tall Green Mountain hnjr. La up to tb© ton nf a nroon<i mie tiotel, in New York—-“ What do you ask a week for board and lodgings!” “Five dollars.” “Five dol lars! that’s too much ; but 1 s’pose you’ll allow for the times I am absent from dinner and supper ?” “Certainly—thirtv-ee ven ond a hall cents each.” Here the conversation ended,and the Y ankee took up his quarters for two weeks. During this time, he lodged and breakfasted at ihe hotel, but did not take either dinner or supper, saying his business detained him in another portion of the town. At the expiration of two weeke, he again walked up to the liar, and said, “s’pose we settle that account—l am going in a few minutes.” The landlord handed him his hill—“ Two weeks hoard, at $5 —$10.” “Here stran ger,” said the Y'ankee, •‘this bill is wrong—you’ve made a mistake; you’ve not deducted the times I was absent from din ner and supper—l 4 days, 2 meals per day—2B meals at 37$ cents each—slo 50. II you’ve not got ihe fifty cents change that’s due me, l'U take a drink and the balance in aegara” GREEN MOUTAIN MAID. ’Twas a beautiful spot where the vine covered cot of the mountaineer stood, on the edge of the wood. There the forest bird’s song, echoed all the day long,and the mountain stream plnyed in edge of the sbude, where the graceful voung fuwn cropped the he.bige at dawn from the wide spreading lawn— ’ I’wus a beautiful spot—’twas a beautiful cot, and suiely there ne’re whs a maiden more rare than the maid that dwelt there. Shall 1 picture the maid of the green wood and glade, as she wus in the day when old ♦ Allen’ held sway, while his iron nerv ed men were the pride of the glen? She was neither too tall, too short, nor too small, nor so light or so airy as the form of a fairy. But the pride of the glade was the rosy cheeked maid, with eyes Quite as blue as the summer sky’s hue, end tresses of brown floating gracefully down, and nestling below on a bosom of snow. She coulil warble and sing like the songsters (of spring; she could spin and could sweep, could mow and f could reap—could ride the gray steed at the top of hie speed, ! and had sported a trifle with her old fntlier’e rifle.—Ana this bouncing young maid of the evergreen shade was chaste and refined, and had such a mind as you seldom will find among i the gay maids of haughtier gradgs. I A lover she had who would have been glad to capture her j heart by his scheming and art. O’Handy his name, and a dan dy by fame, who though wrinkled and parched, whs whiskered i **'id starched, and displayed quite n rare end a citified air. Well, he knelt at her feet and began to entrent, while his ! great bosom heat with unmerciful heat, and he told such a tale I as he deemed would not fail to make her believe that he could 1 not deceive. While thus he knelt pleading, while thus interceeding, he thought by her smile that his words would beguile. But he i found the conclusion a hopeless delusion; for the maid was . unlinking his scheming—wae thinking; and she thought in a ! twinkling, she’J give him a sprinkling of the well peppered j ointment of black disappointment. Ere he drew to a close she turned up her nose, as yon may suppose, just as high ae the j c hose ; and scorning his proee, through his pleading she broke, ’ and thus ’twas she spoke— “Oh, great is vour fame ; O Handy your name—from the city you came with your heart nil a flume ; and you thought in the shade of the mountain or glade, to capture a maid by pomp and parade. Oh,save all your tears, your hopes and yaur fears,.your dueke and your deare for some other ears. All men are agreed vou'rn a nice bird indeed; but your figure's too lean, you’re too gaunt end too green; and that is not all, you’re excessively tall; your nose is too big, you’ve a voice like a pig, and you wear a big wig, while your upper lip seems Just ihe shade of your dream*. Now my answer you know— there’s the door, you may go.* Still he lingered to plead in hie love and hie need—and he boosted and told of his lilies end gold—of her station in life whom be chose for a wife.
