But weep not sweet girl—each tear that you Brings a pang to this heart,o’er the fathomless deep. Oh Daughter of Erin !—the blush on thy clteek Was the hue the wild roses might wantonly seek: Now, like a lone lilly, all beautiously pale. [gale. Thou niay’st bend, but will brook not the death sweeping Thou flourishest yet, My own Cushlamachree. But weep not, etc. Could I dream that thy bl ight eyes, so beamingly blue, VV ere never to Lurst the dark clouds they beam through, I might leave thee all hopeless, all friendless, forlorn, And dream that the Exile could never return ; But my sword’s for thee yet, My own Cushlamachree. But weep t o , etc. What though to a far distant climate I go, Where lair flowers bloom and where fre9h breezes blow. O, sc, ntlessand sightless they’ll fall upon me. When blessed not, sweet daughterof Erin, with thee. I would thou wert happy, My Cushlamachree. But weep not, etc. Farewell to thee, Daughter of Erin—the deck Which I stand on will soon be a visionless speck ; But ere that we spread our white sails to the blast, One kiss from thee, fond one—perchance ‘tis the last, 1 would thou wert happy, My Cushlamachree. But weep not, etc. We’re away, we’re away, for the Land of the Free! And though sad be my parting, Old Ireland, from thee, Yet, yet 1 shall press her in joy to my breast: Now,God and Green Erin, and Fate,do the rest ! For 1 know thou’lt be free. My own Cushlamachree.

The venerable Harrison Gray Otis, in a letter to the People of Massachusetts, illustrates the claims of the Free Soil Van Buren Party to the retention of the name of Whigs, by lie following quotation, which Edmund Burke did not disdain to adopt on a soinewliat analo gous occasion; “What though that flattering tapster Thomas, Hangs anew angel two doors from us, As bright as paint and gold can make it, Thinking some stranger may mistake it, I think it boih a shatneand sin, To quit the good old Angel-inn.” How to Command Success. The editor of the Raleigh Register has strewed the following bouquet in the path of his readers : The following glowing and beautiful picture, which we take from Willis’ Tragedy of “Bianca Visconti,” il lustrates eloquently the success attendant upon rectitude and energy under opposing circumstances. “Sweet,” truly snitli the poet “are the uses ot adversity”—for it creates power out of listlessness, and bedecks the path way of life, hitherto strewed, perhaps with the idle weeds ot lazy luxury alone, with the roses of hope and active enjoyment, to gather strength upon the pinion of a determined resolution, and stretching earnestly up ward, you will succeed, “straight and gloriously.” Bianca. —An eagle once from the Euganean hills Soared bravely to tite sky. In his giddy track, Scarce marked by them who gazed upon the first, Followed anew Hedged eaglet, fast and well. Upward they sped, and all eyes on their flight Gazed with admiring awe, when suddenly, The paient bird, struck by a thunderbolt, Dropped lifeless thro’ the air. The eaglet paused, And hungopon his wings ; and as his sire Plashed in the far down wave, men looked to see him Flee to his nest affrighted! Sforza (with great interest.) Did he so ?

The Columbus Enquirer says: Ftiend Hooper, of the Alabama Journal, is in the habit of perpetrating some good things. His chicken story connected with the census scenes of 1849, will live as long as the mirth loving world survives. Since that period he has trav elled extensively through our neighboring State cull ing and gathering materials of every variety where withal to enliven the columns of the paper with which he has been associated. During one of bis recent iambics he fell in with an old salt, from the Emerald Isle, who in his own peculiar way illustrated the po sition of Taylor and Cass, towards the South, by the following anecdote. •‘Before l close this hasty letter, I must give you old Tom Manin’s illustration ot the lolly of the Southern men who support Gass. Tom, it must be premised, is an Irishman, a painter and perhaps the most enthusi astic Taylor man in Alabama. He has travelled much; is full oi anecdote, and t kes great delight m fretting’ the Cass-ocracy. “The other evening, Tom discoursed in the follow ing strain to two or t.iree disconsolate, sorrowful, me lancholy Cass men. “Ye see, boys,” says Tom, “ye” mind of the time I was at the Barbadoes, in the brig Empress. Ye talk about Misther Ca-s, and, bedud he’sf l r the North and the South. He’s like the double-headed snake I start ed to tell yc about. “Weil, the captain of the brig ses tome, ses he, Tom, take some of the boys and clane out the lockers] for you see, ses he, we must clare out from here, and save our insurance. “We I, to the fore, I got a halfa dozen of the boys, and we coumtinced claning out the lockers, and soon’ we had a lot of empty bottles—for, ye see, to have somethin’ to keep the sowl alive on the passige back. “We claned the lockers away, and sorted the bottles] when suddintly, all at ownst, ses ], “Boys, I've iliigant news for ye: Be-Jasui, here’s a full boule! “Upon that, ses the boys, what’s the comints? And ses I, fakin’ an Admiral’s dhrink, obsarve ; ses I, it sanies to be pmty good Ja.naiky ; and vvnh that I pass ed the boule round, and the boys given blessing to ould Ireland, and took a hearty dhrink everyone to be sure. Well, 1 took another dhrnp, and ses I, passin the bottle at the same time; ses f, toys, there’s ono ther dhtink a pace, purvidin’you onlv take half as much ns ldo. With that, they all kissed the cross, and the bottle came back to me; and so the thought was oil me mind that I'd see if tiiere wasn’t somethin’ left for my own special stomick. “You may sware I raised the bottle to the light, to see what was the remains of good luck. Upon that, what should 1 discover but a little two-headed snake that the captain, torby, had tould me afore, he was tukiif home, as a cunosily ! “Faix! you may sw ire that was a hard case ; to we j all went to vomittmg, itsoaly the truth when I tell ye, ; tlie most part ot the snake, sauce went over into the’ harbor to pismi the fishes. And it’s much the same j case with ye Casa men ; ye’rs uhrinking liquor off of a ] double headed snake; and when, too late, ye find it’s’ the wrong sort ot letrishinent, ye’il cio as my boys did j —come uown to your katts, and throw up the whole ‘ of it. So come, Doys, let’s take a dhnk of the geni- ! wine Taylor liquor; and be-Jasus, if there's a snake i in the boule, ye may sware it's got but one head,-and that ieoks to trie South !” Defining his Position. “Get up—get up!” said a watchman to a chap who had fallen a grade below the door-step sleepers, and who hud taken a lodgment in the gutter. “You must not he here.” “Lie! you’re ariottier!— you l.e your self!—N-n-not lie here! 1 tell you wh-what, old fel low, that may do to t-t-tell m them slave States, but I’ll let you know,” said the agrarian, sputtering out a mouthful ol mud, “that t-th-this is tree soil.” The Price of a Kiss. A young mail in Fall River, was fined three dollars and cost tor k swing a young lady in the street. The charge is on'y a dollar here, t>y the last decision; but perhaps the Fail River damsel was the prettiest, which m kes all the difference. —Providence Jour. Keep Clean Gardens.

Journal of Commerce has a let ter from an officer on board the U S. frigate United States, while lyi ig in the p r o’Pal ermo, Sicily, in April lust, from winch we mike ihe following extract, conlai ing at ac count of a visit to the celebrated Hums of Pompeii: H iving taken leave of the church, I ro Je to the ruins ofPonipei a distance often miles from Naples. I was well repaid in this journey. Ob jects ol interesting curiosity present themselves the whole way along the beach road of a bay unsurpassed m the world for magnificent sub limity and classical grandeur. Villas, bridges, palaces, and monuments of every age, ants oi every class of architecture, meet tile eye in con tinuous rotation. Mount Vesuvius, too. spitting lire and ejecting smoke, seems ever near yotT As you cross the broadest base of Mount \ esu vius, you pass through a town builtoverthe ruins of ivhat was once the famous city Hercu laneum. It lies about half way to Pompeii. Another hour’s ride brings you to the ruins and introduces you into a city that has been hid from tire eyes of the world lor 1774 years, it bavin/ been destroyed and completely cov ered with burning lava by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in the year 79, and not again discovered till 1783, and that by the merest accident. Afarmer. while digging oa his farm, found a Roman sword and spear of great un tiquity. This led the Neapolitan Govern ment to make examinations. the result of which convinced the most credulous that a city lay underneath where agriculture was now flourishing. The exhausted state ot the nation al treasury for a time prevented any great pro gress in the work; butasthe difficulty vanish ed the work went on rapidly, and within the hist twenty years, a ciry has been reproduced, that has been the universal theme of wonder and admiration ol’the civilized world. 1 refer you to iiuliver’s Last Days of Pornpeii. I have no doubt in my onw mind but that, in that work of fiction, there is much o f what really occurred at the melancholy catastrophe lam now writing about- I, at least, thought so. while wandering through the squares streets, palaces, theatres, and splendid dwell ings, such as have not been thought of by our modern Babylons. Rich Mosaic floorings, bas-relief paintings and gildings—.ill are of the highest order, and in a slate of preserva tion truly astonishing. To give a detailed ac count of this resuscitated city, after only two or three hours’ inspection, would be presump tion. I will therefore merely mention what most forcibly struck my mind at the time. First in order, the Pantheon alone, (after all that has been removed Irom it to the museum and other places.) clearly demonstrates that ornamental architecture was better under stood in the living days of this wonderful city, than any remains of a later date would indi cate. ‘l'lie circus, theatre and amphitheatre are objects of great interest. In the theatre, immediately under the Prosceneum. in Homan characters, are the names, in Mosaic, of the first two performers that acted on this ancient stage, clear and distinct, as it’ laid but yester day. Tiie Hall of Justice and Temple ot'lsis and Esctilapius, are also objects of very great interest; so are the alter and block ol sacii tiee, the oracle, Temple, and Temple of Janus, the rich Jew and Diomede’s palaces. The re mains of chariot wheels, iron spades, shovels, hoes, wine jars, &c., &c.. are all well worthy of attentive observation. The streets general ly are narrow: I measured several which were from 8 to 10 feet wide, with three stepping stones at the end ol each street, for foot-pas sengers to cross over in wet weather. The srects are well paved, with side-walks oi suf ficient breadth tor three or lour persons to walk abreast. The former are deeply cut by chariot wheels ; the latter are much woin by travelling. Columns and cornices of the most exquisite workmanship are lying in all direc tions. —some in piles, and more just as they fell while excavating. The bed-rooms and baths both public and private, are in excellent preser vation ; but from the designs painted anJ carved, one w..uld be led to believe that tiie people ol those days were both immoral and licentious. The walls in several houses are stained with impressions where the persons lay or stood, as they were being buried be neath the fiery distruction of burning lava, vomited forth by Vessivius on their devoted heads, while engaged in celebrating one of their greatest festivals. The Advantages of Partnerships. Capital is rendered more productive by the formation partnerships. It would often be ve ry convenient if a merchant could be in two places at the same time. But this cannot be done. If. however, there are two or three part ners in a firm. these partners may be in dis tant places, and thus the interest of the whole may be properly attended to. By dividing their business into distinct branches, and eacn partner superintending a branch, the business may ilourisb as much as if the establishment belonged to one individual, who had the con venient attribute of übiquity. One partner may superintend the town department—the other the country; the other the manufac turing—the selling branch: one the books— the other, the warehouse, and by this division of labor, each branch of the business will have the advantage of being constantly under the superin tendance of a principal of the lirm. An other advantage is, that by mutual discussion upon their affairs,the concern will be conduc | ted with more discretion. The ionorance of one may he supplied by the knowledge of the other; the speculative disposition oi one may be restrained by the phlegmatic disposition of the other; the carelessness of one may be counteracted by the prudence ol the other But the great advantage arising from partnerships is, that capital accumulates taster; there can be a greater division ol labor in a large estab lishment ; there will be less proportionate ex ; pense; the firm will he able to gain a greater | amount of credit; and more confidence will be placed in their honor and integrity. It is very rare that a dishones failure is made by a firm. Hunt's Merchant's Magazine. A Jewel ol’ a Woman. Four yeas ago we were in possession of fa cilities lor looking out upon a quiet, humble grave-yard, situated on the Sixth Avenue. Early one morning a scanty funeral train visi ted the yard, a hasty burial service -was pro nounced over a plain coffin, the earth was speedily covered over the mortal remains en enciosed therein, and the few mourners depart ed all save one. i hat was a girl about thirteen years of age. who, casting herself up on the ground, could only sob* 1 my mother,” until completely exhausted by the violence of her g-ief. She recovered, after awln e and disappeared, and the next morning she was at tlie sjKit, planting flowers there. Early every morning, lor two years afterwards, that girl paid a visit to her parent’s grave. In the sea son ol (lowers that mound bloomed like a g ir deu and in tne winter its appearance was rc fresned by several valuable little evergreens, and it was religiously kept cleared of ail un sightly incumbrances. One morning last week, chance led us to the grave yard, and the first object that met our eyes was the girl, now a blooming marriagea ble maiden.

Mercury The Wonder of the Heavens. The recent eclipse of the Queen of Night is thus beautifully noiiccd in the Philadelphia Bulletin : In the unfathomable calm of the eternal heavens last midnight was enacted one of those scenes which, h i :gol God himself, alone deserve the epithets of grandeur and sublimity that ambitious man is so prone to heap upon the insignificant and filagree nothingnesses he calls the evidences of his creative genius. The breathing statue, the glowing canvass, the gorgeous temple—even the Titanic pyramids themselves, which seem ainiust the pedestals ot the sky—what are they all, compared with the inexhaustible sea ts glory which sy lately streamed upon us from you star-fretted and illimitable dome that roots the earth with liv ing light ! Early in the evening the fair, chaste moon, just rounding into the full outline of her most dazzling beauty, became aware oftiic occulta tion lor which she was destined ; and drawing with silver fingers the filmy tracery of the clouds about her a robe of beauty, darted the radiance of her smile upon them uniil they beamed with till the separate yet harmonious ly colorings of chrystalized light. It was like the dreams ot youth painted by the prism of hope. All over the Eastern heavens trailed graceful clouds o! orange and silver like troops oi spirits bearing gigantic wreaths wherewith to crown their bride-mistress ; while the bright goddess herself Hushed as when she stooped to kissEndymiom swam amid a celestial halo of many colored .-plen lo . But soon this celestial panorama passed ;and the white clouds bleached of their flaming hues faded behind the invisible curtaining of the air, and were seen no more. Then tiie lone moon, deserted of her gorgeous train* be gan to feel in her heart the dreary shadow that crept remoreslessly up the East to enfold her in its dark cnbrace, and her sweet face grew pale and pensive as betrayed beauty's. And now. true as the pulsation of the Creative Brain of the Universe, came the inevitable, shapelss shadow and laid its swarth upon the shrinking shoulder of the goddess. A faint blush of darker light flittered accrues her lace, and she yielded to the destiny which slowly yet surety enveloped her and held her powerless and expiring in its arms. Yet even then was she most beautiful. Shorn olits sil ver beams, her form shrank to half its natural dimensions —the stars came out in m my clus ters to wink and spnrkclat her discomfiture; and even the little dim-eyed creature that ev er waits submissive at her side dared grow as large and shine with an audacious lustre. A solemn gloom came slowly forth lrorn taa four corners of the sky and hung dark curtains over the heavens as if to shutout from mortal eyes the holy mysteries of the hour ; yet strug gling through ail. the proud Diana’s golden bosom still gleamed and throbbed. At last the trial was past. Slowly, as it crime, the grim and formless shadow moved from before tiie face of the Queen of Night and u ii oil in to the bine abyss ot fathomless space. The stars once more shrank abashed away, and the glorius orb. un limmed by a angle ray. again filled heaven and earth with the glory of her unutterable beauty while the aurora borealis, like a procession of triumphal banners stream ed across the northern sky. The ten thous ands of wondering and rapt faces which had been mutely upturned to heaven to witness the magnificent scene, sought once more their pillows and their dri ams —and the noiuseless Universe went on its way. Leir:!li ol’ Uumau Life. One of the New York papers contains a brief report of a lecture delivered recently in that city, by Prof. Mason on the economy of individual life, which contains some interesting facts in relation to the average extent of hu man life. This of course lias varied at differ ent periods of (he world, and still varies in different countries, under the influence of edu cation. morals, food and other circumstances. As an instance ol’ the variation ailuded to if was remarked that in the loth century, the average extent oHile in Geneva Swizerland, was as remarkably low as nine years, which the Professor attributed to epidemical diseases bad food bad dwellings and continued war fare. The learned men ol that country, howev er. directed their attention to the causes ol pie mature deaths; and under their care a system so perfect has been established that the inhabi tants of Geneva now live to a greater age than those of any city on the globe. Similar changes have taken place in Great Britian. since, Dy means of the improvements in science, tin* average of human life lias been elevated from 17 to 50 y r ears. The scriptures give three score years and ten as the limits of human ex istence. and Professor Mason contends that whenever the medical jurisprudence of a coun try can, as in England and in this country, en large the average duration to 50 years, tint remaining 20 of the scriptural limit are gener ally cut otfby intemperance and hereditary disease. In Mexico the average ofhuman lite is only 15 years, which circumstance alone is sufficient to show tiie vast difference existing between the moral and physical condition oi that people and our own. Occupation For Children. The habits of children prove that occupation is a necessity with most of them. They love to be busy even about nothing, still more to be usefully employed. With some children it is a strongly developed physical necessity and, il not turned to good account, will be pro- I ductive of positive evil; *hus verifying the old adage, that “ Idleness is llie mother ol mis chief” —Children should be encouraged or; if indolently'disinclined to do ii should be discip i lined into performing for themselves every lit— j tie olliee relative to the toilet which they are j capable of performing. They should also keep ’ their own clothes and other j oscssions in neat | order, and fetch for themselves whatever they r want; in short they should.learn to beasinde | pendent ofthe services of others as possible, fit ting them alike to make a good use of prosperity ! and to meet with fortitude any reversal ol for tune that may befall them.
