H. Wilde,nnd are well worthy of a place beside them in the Nation's heart. The same moumtul melody pervades them both, though each is tinged with the peculiar character ol its author. They may be regarded us the dirge of their writer, Lieutenant Robert Emmett Hoos, who perished prematurely of consumption but a few weeks since, in the 37th year of his age. It would almost seem that a presentiment of his early doom had thrown its shadow over his soul, when he penned this lament, which must forever perpetuate his name and memo ry ‘ My life is like the scattered wreck, Lost by the waves upon the shore ; The broken masts the rifted deck. Tell of the shipwreck that is o’er . Yet from these relics of the storm, The mariner his raft will form, Again to tempt the faithless sen - liui hope rebuilds no bark for me. My life is like the blighted oak, Flint lifts its sear and withered form ; Scath'd by the lightning’s hidden stroke, Sternly to meet the coming storm : Yet round that sapless trunk will twine, The curling tendrils of the vine. And life and freshness there impart— Not so the passion blighted heart. My life is like a desert rock, In the mid ocean lone and drenr ; Worn by the the wild waves’ ceaseless shock, That round its base their surges rear ; Yet, there the sen-moos still win cling— Some flowers will find n cleft to spring, And breath e’en there a sweet perfinne— For me life's flowers no more will bloom.” ■■■■ mi in 1 ■ ivrn MISCELLA N 1 . AIM the X O, Rrlta Sam Sandon—The t>ll iversa! Voter. In tin- group of character* which the pic ture ol llie Recorder’s office presented yester day, there was one so marked a contour and tout ensemble, that a connoisseur could not fail to select him as an object for contempla tive study. His flair grew sparse, nud was of a wiry texture ;dcep. late real furrows travers ed his forehead ; his eyes were like glass halls, dimly lit up by weak rush lights; his nose was like a mound of semi-ripe raspberries, and and liis mouth partook of the genus catfish.— He held in his hand a hat, which was not all a hat, for it had been divested of a portion of the leal, and his ent ire toggery proved to an occular demonstration, that whatever might he the state of tiis morals, he was literally and decidedly a man of bail habits. ‘ Ram Sandon?’said the Recorder. At the sound of this name, the prisoner, whose daguerrotype we have just endeavor ed to give above, scratched with his left hand that part ol his scalp where once grew hair.— This must have been meant tor an answer to the rail of the Court—lor lie made no other. 1 Sandon,’ said the Recorder, ‘ what do you do lor a living V Sandon. —l used to follow the hoyster bus iness, but 1 lourid it wasn’t respectable; so findin an openin in another line, instead of shelling out myself, I makes other folks uhcll out.’ Recorder. —■ Then what do follow, now ?” Sandon. —■ Wotin’—l follows wotin yuur honor. Recorder.— 1 You follow what?’ Sandon. —‘The election business, vour hon or.’ Recorder. —‘l understand, you’re a candi date for office.’ Sandon. — 1 No I ain’t hut I patronizes them as is. lin a horator, ns Rrutus was.’ Recorder. —‘And pray Mr. Sandon. since, as you say you devote your entire mighty genius to election purposes, may 1 ask what party has the advantage of vour powerful sup port. Sandon.—' ‘Which party? All parties. vour liouor—all parties. Sam Sandou ain’t the man to limit his vote, or the influence of his eloquence to uny one party. Like that ere l 1 reach polertirianer, Guizot, he goes in for the balance of power; if he makes a speech for democracy, he, to carry out his theory, makes a speech for whiggery next ;if he wotes for a whig, he next, ns a inntter of ronrse turns nround and wotes for a democrat.’ Recorder. —• Your course I must confess, Mr. Sandon, is remarkably impartial in this partial and party-governing age. But how do you do when there is a number of men running for the same office, as is the ease at present for the offices of Justice of the Peace and Constable, in the same district. Sandon: —‘ Wotes for them all, of course— carries out my principle.’ Recorder. — Now since you have enlighten ed me ns to your peeuliar political system, which, isl understand you correctly, is no more than an exposition of your public life how do you live ! What supp|Mirts you ?” Sandon. —‘ Why the candidates support me of course. Is,pose 1 ain’t fool enough to sup port myself in times of political excitement like these.’ Recorder. —‘ Ah, you live on them day a bout, I suppose ?’ Sandon. —‘ No 1 doesn’t, your honor. I,d scorn the hart. I regulates the scale of socie ty with which 1 favors them, on graduated principles of justice.’ Record* r. —‘ I don’t understand you,’ Sandon. —‘ I means this, your honor—Unit I always make a candidate lor Bhe riff good to me for three days’ livin’ and five nights’ drinks, within a given time, mind me. A member of the legislature is good for two. Coro ners I ain’t particular about. Justices of the Peace I come oil for two days’ livin’ and extra drinks. Krom candidates for Constable, I tuko miscellaneous treats.’ Recorder. —‘ Your system seems to be for one too idle to work, u’ most admirable one. It is living made easy, reduced to a science. I cannot say tlmt you hnve no visible means of support, for those on whom you rely for a support are necessarily among the most pub lic men in the community. I shall let you go.’ ‘Why Sandon,’ said a friend when lie got outside the door, ‘ he let you of! easy.’ ‘ Was obliged to,’ said Sandon, ‘ he knows how I wotes.’ The Process of the Sculptor. From a papci in the Literary World, aigned G. H. Calvert, we extract the billowing, account ol the method in which ataiueanre wrought from the block of mar ble : “Tho conception being matured in the artiai'a mind, the lira! step in the proc *a of giving form to it iato erect, on a firm pedestal, a skeleton of iron, whoae height! breadth and limliaare determined by the site andaha|ic of the proposed ala tue. In thia caae it would lie about live feet high, with branches, first at the tthou'dem, run ning down forward for the arms, then at the hi|i, to support the larg. mam of clay in the trunk, and thence divided into two for the leg*. About thia strong, atm* pie frame la now roughly built, with wel clay, the pre determined image. Rapidly la thia moulded Into an approximation to the human hum; ami when ‘he trunk, : lie,id and liiii'm luivs been delinilrly shaped, then be- I gina the close laltor of ihe mind. The living models are summoned, and by their aid die surface ia wrought to its laat Stage of linieh. 1 aay models, for to achieve adequately a high Idea several are needed. Nature randy centre* in one individual all her gifts of corporeal beauty. For the Eve, Powers had more iluin <u score of tnodrla. “Themodem Christian artist cannot be favored, a* was the painter Z-una ol old.'to whom a Grecian city, that had ordered from him a picture ot IM.n, sent a number al its choicest maiden*, that out of their va rious grace* and beauties la- might, as it were, extract one imitchleaa form. For the “Slava,” tha efikracier Powers had eatabl.shed in Florence tig parity and tfjt- A. ‘ VOL. XXV.—No 32. rightness, obtained for him one model (who was not a profraafonal sitter.) of such perfection of form aa to fur nish nearly all that he could derive from n model— W ilh this breathing figure be lore him, and through Ida precise knowledge of the form mid expression of every pnrt ol the human body, obtained from the study of na ture nml Ills own deep artistic institutions, the clay un der Ins hands gradually grew into life and assumed the clastic, vital look which no mere anatomical knowledge or craft ofhand cnn give, but which is imparted by the genial sympathy with nature’! living forma in alliance wnli a warm sensibility to the beatitiful—quulitien which crown and render effectual the other less elevated en dowments ofart. Thus, by the most minute manual labor, directed by those high and refined mental gifts, the clay model ol the “Slave” was wrought out; and ll.cre the artist's work -tided—the creation was com plete. The processes whereby ii was now to be trans ferred to marble, though ol a delicate, difficult kind and requiring labor and time, arc purely mechanical! and are performed under the artist’s direction, by unin spired Itamis. •■ln order that the soil clay image he transformed into a harder substance, without suffering the slightest change in its surliice, a mould is applied to it in the same way and with the same material as when a cast IS taken of the living face or head by means of semi-li quid plaster ol Paris. The clny figure is entirely cov ered with this substance, from one to two or more incli esthirk, provision being made for taking off the arms and for splitting the trunk after the plaster shall have’ hnrdened. Ihe clay is then all taken out, the hollow mould is cleaned and then refilled with semi-liqnid plaster ol aris. \V hen this, which now occupies entirely and minutely the place of the day, has in its turn become hardened, the outside crust of plaster is broken from it and then is laid bare an exact fac-sim,le of the original clay figure in hard, smooth plaster of Paris, capable of bearing the usage of ihe studio, and of receiving the many marks that are to guide the marble cult-re whose work now begins. ‘first comes .die blocker-out, with his heavy mallet and coarse chissel, under whose rough blows the white’ block soous begins to grow into a rude likeness of hu mnmty. Then, a liner workman, who loosens more of the folds that overlie the beaming image which the artist is bent on disclosing from the centre of the mar ble. And filially, the artist himself, or. as in this case, a refined worker, schooled under the eye of Powers, gives the finishing touches, reproducing with unsurpassed ac - curacy, nr the transparent, pure murble, every swell and indentation and minutest curve, all the counties* delicacies of detail, the which combined with and I rat ing grand sweeping lines, characterize the original as moulded ill the day by the hand ofPowera. ’ Training up Children. It IS a matter of fact business to live in ihe world, any w.,y you can fix it. The wants of the body make imperative demands on the efforts and labors of some body lo supp.y its indespensable necessities No one Whatever ,n,y be his birth, hrs eonditon, or hi. wealth m this world, has a native right to claim exempt,on from some degree of toil and effort to supply his own wants It is a law of the Cieator that man shall toil and earn his bred by th ■ sweat of Iff. brow. And parents do their children an incalculable wrong, both to body and soul, when they train them up in idleness and inaction 1 hey will be almost certain, one day, to reap the fruits Os such wrong training, ft is for belter, both for the body and soul of any Healthy child, to train ,t up ,n the habits ol industry and economy. There is no greater defect in educating children than neglecting to accustom them to work. It is an evil that attaches mostly to large town and cities- - Children suffer much train it. The parent never con siders whether the child’s work is neeesarv or nut to the child. Nothing is more uncertain than their future independence snd comfort—very much depends on be ing accustomed to work-to provide for tire thousand constantly recurring wauls that nature entails on them II tins were not so, still it preserves them from had hab -118 ; it secures their health; it strengthens both mind andboJy ; enables them better to bear the confinement of the pent up school-room; and it tends more than any thing else to give them just and proper views of life. It is too often the ease, tiiat children, provided they spend hall a dozen hours of the day at school, are per mitted to puss the rest as they please. Thus they grow up m Ihe world, without any knowledge of its toils and cares ; they view it through a false medium ; they cat, not appreciate the favors you bestow, as they do not know the toils they cost ; their bodies and minds are enervated, and they are exposed to whatever vicious as sueunions are within their reach. 1 he daughter, probably, becomes that pitiable, help less object, a novel reading girl. The son, if he <rar mounn the consequences of your neglect, does it pro bably alter liis plans and station for life are fixed, and when knowledge for one of its important objects comes, olas, too lot?*. No inn n or woman is fully educated if not accustomed to useful liibor. VV liutever accomplishment they pose* whatever their mental training, a deduction ‘must be made for iguoranc* of that important chapter of the world's great book.— Gleaner. The Nkirt Expander.—A New Invention. It appears that a gentleman in the city of Troy has invented an article he ealis the Skirt Expander, for which he is about to procure a patent. The inventor says it will eutirely do uway with the cotton bustle. It is said lobe principally made of India rubber air-tight, and is capable ol being inflated or contracted at any time. If a lady should be walking and wishtoappesr I trger or smaller, the skirt is so cunstrucled that she can enlarge or diminish her apparent size at pleasure and yet a person may tie walking with her and not discov er how, or by what means, her apparent size is diminish ed or increased. The inveuior also says, that the ap pearance of a lady, with one of these skirts, is much im proved -the dress setting much better and easier ; and and that it will save the labor of carrying about the streets quite a small hale of cotton, and from e pht to twelve skirts Willis AII f * Well Thar Gmli Well.
