far, FAR AWAY !
I love to look on the purple West,
In the gorgeous robes ot the sunset oreat;
With is crimson pomp and bannered sheen,
Like the lorulv state of a dying Queen:
The distant woods with their crowns of gold,
\nd the hoarv hills. Time's fastness hold.
While zephvra breathe their low, soft chimes,
•We may o’ulv tell of the golden climes,
\nd that better land in the realms ot day,
Far, far away!
I love to stand on the mountain height,
In tue magic noon of a summer night;
While vale and meadow are fairy land.
And elves come out on the pebbly strand.
And lavs are merry in moonlight dell,
\ml earth is witched with a seer-like spell,
\nd low the voice of the sonndiug sea,
Seemetb to sav, in its minstrelsy —
■W'e onlv tell of the realms of day,
Far, far away!
I love to look on a young face fair,
With the sunny smile ot childhood there ;
To hear the laugh of its careless glee,
Like the gladsome shout of the summer sea,
K„r it ,eems to say, as they tioat along,
With mazy dunce and the murmured song,
-The land’!—the lat.d by sunset sky,
Where tears are not, and we’ll no more die;
Oh! the old grow young, in that realm of day,
Far, far away!”
There, starrv rivers are murmuring low;
To deathless flowers that by them blow;
And the zephyrs breathe, in their lute-like tones ;
And hvmn the stars on their golden thrones;
The stin sings out; and there is no night;
And myriad ones, in robes of white,
Floating along upon azure wings,
Their rapture tell on their trembling strings ;
“Oh! let us fly to that realm of day,
Far, far away!”

Anecdote of a Louisiana Judjs.
Old Jti lgc L—s, who was for years th 3 Circuit
Judge in that portion of Louisiana known as Attak ipus
county, WAS jns.l v celebrated for his legal learning, and
was greatly beloved by his neighbors and friends. He
was stern, upright and honest —and the dea.h of the
Stood old man, whicn occurred some years ago, was uni j
versallv regretted throughout the State.
But with all his book lore and legal attainments, he
was jrrhj! s the greenest man at cards in his circuit. It
hits been said that he did not know the “Jack of
Trumps’’ from a diamond. In the village of Oitelousas,
three individuals were sitiing round a’ table, in one of
those doggeries, “with a billiard table attached,” which
are so common in the Creole parishes, placing a small
g tine ol three banded poker, when a quarrel ensued,
which resulted in an aggravated case of assault and
battery. This did not end the affair, for at the next
term ot the court, at the bead of the docket stood “The
State ot Louisiana is. John Allen, for an assault and
battery with intent to kill, on the body of Enos Grigg.”
The trial came on, and the only witness was a Cap
tain Johnson, who was a third band in the game John
son was a shipper of one of those crafts which transport
sugar from that section of the country to New Orleans,
and was a self-confident, go-ahead fellow, aud was as
undaunted before the Judge aud Jury as he would have
been before the crew of his own little craft. After be
ing sworn, he was directed to tell the court and jury
every thing he knew about the affair. After deal ing
his throat he commenced, staring “that him and Griggs
aud John Allen were over at Boullet’s grocery the se
cond day of the election, when Allen proposed that they
should have a small game of poker; all ageeJ to it, and
they went up stairs and sat down to the game; did not
know there was any hash feelings between Griggs and
Alien, or I woud’t a played, but heard afterwards”—
Here the witness was interrupted by the Court, who
directed him to keep all hearsays to himself and confine
himself strictly to the facts of the case.
The witness continued—“ Well, we sat down to the
table—Griggs sot there, John Allen there, and I there,
(making a diagram of the clerk’s table in order to eluci
date the position of the parties.i John Alien dealt the
cards, I went blind, Griggs went blind, and John Allen
would’nt see him.”
The Judge, who was a little deaf, was in the habit of
making an ear trumpet of bis hand for the purpose ol
sharpening his hearing—aud throwing his head a little
forward and sideways, interrupted witness bv asking
him, “\\ hat was the reason that John Allen did not see
Griggs?”
The witness said, “I don’t know, but he wouldn’t
look at him.”
“Proceed,” said the Judge.
“Well, I saw him, an i he saw, and just at that min
ute—”
“Stop sir,” says the Judge, throwing himself into a
hearing attitude, “did I understand you to say that you
went blind ?”
“ Yes sir! I went blind, and Griggs he was Hi ml, and
Allen wouldn’t see, but I saw Griggs and then he
saw—”
“ Witness,” exclaimed the Judge, striking the bench
with his clenched fist, “do I hear you aright, sir? Do
you say that you went bliud ; and then you sate f”
“\essir,’ replied the witness, “ I saw Griggs, and
Griggs saw, and just at that—“
“.Slop, sir,” said the Judge. “Mr. Clerk, tine the
witness fifty dollars for contempt of Court, and direct
the sheriff to take him to jail, and there to keep him
until he receives turther orders from the Court. Call
up the next case, Mr. Clerk.”
Captain Johnson was dumfounded, and did not awake
to the reality of his condition, until the Sheriff’ laid his
hands on him—when he exclaimed, “God a mighty,
Mr. Judge, what have 1 done, that I must go to jail?”
The Judge, who was purple with rage, did not deign
to reply to poor Johnson, but reiterated the order with
increased vehemence, and the junior members at the
bar, who had been anticipating the./ftr that the Capt.
would eventually be placed in, were convulsed with
laughter, which increased the rage of the old Judge to
the highest pitch. The prosecuting attorney endea
vored to enlighten the Judge, and eventually succeeded,
but not until he has produced a pack of cards, and af
ter dealing out three hands, made the blind as clear as
dav to the Judge.
The fine and imprisonment were remitted, order was
[ restored in the Court, and Captain Johnson was allow
| ed to proceed with his testimony.
Female Influence and Energy —l have noticed,
says Washington Irving, that a married man falling
into misforture is more apt to retrieve his situation in
the world than a single one, chiefly because his spirits
are softened and relieved by domestic endearments, aud
self-resjtect kept alive by finding that although all
abroad lie darkness and humiliation, vet there is still a
little world of love at home, of which he is a monarch;
whereas a single man is apt to run to waste and self
neglect ; to full to ruin like a deserted mansion, for want
of inhabitants. 1 have often had occasion to murk the
fortitude with which women so-Rain the most over
whelming reverses of fortune. Those disasters which
break down the spirit of man and prostrate him m the
dust, seem to call forth all the energies of the softer sex
and give such intrepidity and elevation to their charac
ter, that at times it approaches to sublimity. Nothing
can be more touching than to behold a soft and tender
Ternate who naa oeeu all weakness and dependence, aud
alive to every trivial roughness, while ireading the pros
perous path of life, suddenly rising into mental force, to
be the comforter and supporter of the husband under
misfortunes, abiding with unshrinking firmness the bit
terest blast of adversity. As the vine which has long
twined its graceful foliage about the oak, and has been
lifted by it into sunshine, will, when the hardy plant is
rifted by the thunderbolt, cling round it with its cares
sing tendrills, and bind up its shattered boughs; so, too
it is beautifully ordained by Providence that woman,
who is the ornament aud dependant of man in bis hap
pier hours, should be his stay and solace when smitten
with dire and sudden calamity, winding hersei into the
rugged recesses of his nature, tenderly supporting his
drooping head and binding up his broken heart.
Singular Phenomena. —A severe snow storm ac
companied by lightning occurred in a part of Maine
on the loth ult. A correspondent of the Gardiner (Me.)
Fountain, writing from Bass Harbor, Mt. Desert, de
scribes the storm, as it appeared there, as awful and
sublime. A thunder cloud passed over the place,
which for terrific appearance, exceeded anything ever
witnessed there. The correspondent adds: “The
lightning was of a purple color, and sometimes appeared
like balls of fire coming in through windows ana doors,
and down the chimneys, while the houses trembled aud
shook to the very foundations.
A great many persons were slightly injured. Some
were struck in the foot, some in the eye; while others
were electrized, some powerfully and some lightly.—
But what was very singular, not a person was killed or
seriously injured, or a building damaged; but a cluster
of trees, within a few rods of two dwelling houses, was
not thus fortunate. The electric fluid came down
them, taking them out by the roots, with stones and
earth, aud throwing all in every direction. Some were
left hanging by their roots from the tops of the adja
cent trees, roots up, tops down. The lightning after
entering the earth to a depth of several feet and for a
space of some eight or fen feet in diameter, divided into
four different directions. One course which it took led
through the open land, making a chasm to the depth of
several feet and continued its march unobstructed by
the solid fixszen ground or any substance, to the distance
of 37 feet; lifting, overturning, and throwing out junks
of frozen earth, some of which were 10 or It feet long
bv 4 feet wide ; aud hurling at a distance rocks, stones
and roots. The {tower here displayed was truly awful,
and had it fallen on a building, it would have thrown
it, with its inma es into ten thousand fragments.
Agricultural Capacities of the Isthmus of Pa
nama.—The Panama Herald, speaking of the luxurious
vegetation of the Isthmus, meutionsa number of products
the soil is capable of yielding, and says, speaking first
of sugar, that “the produce would for a long time find
a readv market in this country, and an export market is
always ojien in California and South America.” lie
then’ goes on to speak of coffee, and we proceed to
quote hi* further remarks as well worth a perusal:
“Coffee, on the new free soils in this country, produces a
bei rv .hat is by some considered as fully equal to the Mo
clia.’ An acre of coffee plantation produces here 1,700
pounds of coffee in a year ; and in die third year a plan
tation commences to i>ear plentifully. The cultivation
of coffee requires less expense and labor than that of the
! sugar cane, and its universal use among civilized na
tions commands for it always a ready sale. Cocoa is
another product admirably suited to certain portions
ol this country, as on the borders of rivers ; it however,
requites much care and experience, and would want
time to bring it into proii able use.
To La co is the next in order, and a plant pariiculaily
suited for this country. We have been told by an ex
perienced tobacco dealer in 5 irg.n a that the leaf lie
his examin and ou the Isthmus was worth in the Amer
ican market from one to two cents a pound more ilian
the best raised ’.here; the leaf, he assured us, was the
largest, finest, and sweetest he had ever seen.
Cotton and indigo may be raised here with advan
tage ; the latter requires a light soil and warny climate,
ami three months produces a good crop. 5 anilla is
a’so an article that would well remunerate the cultiva
tor; it requires forest land and moist ground, and :s
worth twenty dollars a pound in Europe, where its
consumption —pnucij-ully derived from Brazil —is daily
increasing.
Cocoa-nut plantations are also deserving of the at
tention of the agriculturalists. In a fertile, moist
ground, the tree begins to produce on the fourth year,
aud bears until it is forty years old. Each tree may be
estimated as producing one hundred good nuts a year,
capable of making four gallons of oil. A single tree is
valued, according to Humboldt, at tour dollars a year.
Gums, res us, and balsams, now only procurable in the
so est, could be made a source of profitable cultivation
Sarsaparilla raised here is equal to any in the world.
Castor-oil berries, sassafras, liquorice, borax, cassia
and other medical plants and herbs produceaouudant
ly, and in the greatest perfection. Tassava, ot inantoc
root, maize, plantains, yams, sweet potatoes, yucas, and
other valuable products, only require the slight***,
cue to cultivale: and we look forward to the dav when
the Isthmus will be able’ not only to raise all those m
sufficient quantities for her own use, but also be ena
bled to exjiort largely to other countries.
