MOON RISE IN MAY.
BY SARAU HELEN WHITMAN.
Pure lillies of eternal peace
Whose odors haunt my dreams.” — Tennyeon.
J,ong lights gleam o’er the western wold
Kindling the brown moss into gold
Os the far hollows, dim with dew ;
The bright and .v fa les into the blue,
The breeze comes laden with perfume
From many an orchard white with bloom,
And all the mellow air is fraught
With beauty beyond Fancy’s thought.
Outspread beneath nie, breathing balm
Into the evening’s golden calm,
Lietreilised gardens thickly sown
With uoding lilacs, newly blow n.
Borders with hyscynthus plumed,
And beds with purple pansies gloomed.
Cold snow-drops, jonquils pale and prim,
And flamy tulips, burning dim.
In the coiil twilight, ’till they fold
In sleep their oriflammes of gold.
With many a glimmering interchange
Os moss aud flowers and terraced range,
The pleasant garden slopes away
Into the gloom of shadows grey,
Where darkly green the churchyard lies
With all its silent memories:
There the first violets Jove to blow.
About the headstones leaning low ;
There from the golden willows swing
The first green garlands of the spring,
And the first blue-bird builds her nest
By the old belfry's umbered crest.
Beyond, where groups of stately trees
Waiting their vernal draperies
Stand outlined on the evening sky,
The golden lakes of sunset lie,
With manv colored isles of light.
Purple and pearl and chrysolite.
And realms of cloud-land, floating far
Beyond the horizon's dusky bar.
Now fading from tlte lurid bloom
Os twilight to a silver gloom.
As the fair moon's ascending beam,
Melts all things to a holy dream.
So fade the cloud wreathes from my soul,
Beneath thy solemn, soft control,
Enchantress of the stormy seas.
Priestess of Night’s high mysteries’
Thy ray can pale the north light’s plume,
And where ihe resiless stars illume
With their far-palpitating light
The holy cloisters of the night,
Thy presence can entrance their Deems
And lull them to diviner dreams.
To thee belong the silent spheres
Oi memory—the enchanted years
Os the tlead past —the shrouded woes
That sleep in sculptural repose.
Thy solem light do li interfuse
The magic world wherein I muse
Wuh something too divinely fair
For earthly hope to harbor there; —
A faith that reconciles the will
Lite's mystic sorrow to fuitill—
A benisou of love that fails
From the serene aud silent halls
Os Night, ’till through the lonely rcom
A heavenly odor seems to bloom,
Aud lilies of eternal peace
Glow through the moonlight’s golden fleece.

TIIE IVY IN THE DUNGEON.
BY CHARLES NACKAY.
The ivy in a dungeon grew,
Unfed by rain, uaeheered bv dew ;
Its pali'.J leaflets only drank
Cave-moistures foul, aud odors dank.
But through the dungeon grating high
There fell a sunbeam from the sky ;
It siept upon the grateful floor
In silent gladness evermore.
The ivy felt a tremor shoot
Through ail its fibres to the root;
It felt the light, it saw tbs ray.
It strove to blossom into day.
It grew, it crept, it pushed, it clomb—
Long had the darkness been its home;
But well it knew, though veiled iu night,
The gooduess aud ihe joy of light.
Its clinging roots grew deep and strong,
Its stem expanded nrui aud long.
Aud iu the currents of the air
Its tender branches flourished fair.
It reached the beam—it thrilled, it curled,
It blessed die warmth that cheers the world ;
it rose towards the duugeou bars,
It looked upon the sun aud stars.
It felt the life of bursting spring,
It heard the happy skylark sing ;
it caught the breath of morns aud eves,
Aud w oed the swallow to its leaves.
• By rains and dews and sunshine fed,
Oier the ouier walls it spiead ;
Aud tn the da, -beam waving free,
It grew into a steadfast tree.
Upon that solitary place
Its virtue threw aborning grace;
The mating birds became its guests.
And sang its praises from their nests.
Would’st know the moral of the rhyme ?
Behold the heavenly light! and climb;
To every dungeon comes a ray
Os God’s interminable day.

MY FIRST RATTLE.
I joined my tegiment on the evening of the 4 h d.y
ofSeptemie . ihe Colonel was in bivouac. He re
ceived me at first rather ungraciously; but when 1
five him a letter of in'induction from Gt t ‘ P ,
ne changed h.s de.ueauor lowad me. i was ih-. i pre
sen.ed to my captain, who had just l e'.urned soma re
count.itcring evcurstoD. He was a mil man, w i;h harsh,
rcpil-ivc ie i ; ur.-s envelope J in coarse black hair. He
nad risen t om the ranks by his courage and gallantry,
•nd had gai.ied his epaulets and Cross of Honor upon
j be held of ha! lie. li is feeble voice contrasted gr a.h
ivi h his gigantic bulk. Thisjitiiiruiity was caused by a
gunshot which had pierced his breast during the battle
oi Jena. \\ hen lie was informed that I came from the
military school ot Fontainebleau, he made a wry face,
and said, “It was but yesterday that my first lieutenant
fell upon the battle-lield.” 1 understood his hint, that
1 was not able to till his vacancy. lat tirst intend
ed to return his compliment with a sarcastic answer;
but finally concluded to swallow the pill.
The moon atose from its concealment behind the ene
my’s redoubts of Cheveriuo, which were almost two
cannon shots distant from our camp The moon was
large and red, which is usually the case when it first
| arises; but my imagination caused me to think it much
| larger than ever I bad seen it before. shadow
| ot the redoubts appeared iu the moonlight like the cra
j ter of a volcano.
An old soldier near me, pointing towards the moon,
said:—
“.She is very red to-night,—a sign that it will cause
much blood to be spilt, before we can take yonder re
doubt.”
i have always been slightly tinged with superstition,
and this prophecy, especially at the present momeni,
made a deep impression u]K)n my mind. 1 stretched
niyseif u|hj the ground; but it was impossible for me
to sleep, and therefore arose again, and gazed at the
Lne of watch-fires of ihe enemy, us they glimmered
along ihe heights of Cbeverino. When my hot blood
became cool m the night air. 1 returned to my tire, and
wrapping myself in my cloak, closed my eyes fervently
hoping but 1 might uot open them until morning.—
But sleep would not visit my eve-lids, and my thoughts
became still more serious and gloomy. 1 thought ihat
1 h.i not one friend among tlie hundred thousand who
were gathered together up-oy that field, if 1 should
chance to be wounded, ignorant surgeons would dress
my wounds unskilfully. All that 1 had ever heard con
cerning such operations, came to my mind. My heart
oeat heavily, involuntarily I formed a kind of cuirass
oi my pocket-book and handkerchief over my breast.
At the dawn of day we were summoned bv ilie reveil
le. Afterwards the guns were stacked. Everything
betokened that we would have a quiet day. Towards
three o eloek our aid-de-camp appeared, bringing an ol
der. We were placed under our arms again. Oui
scouts were dispersed over the field. We followed them,
inarching siowiy. In twenty minutes we discoveted
the Russian sentinels, who immediately retired behind
their redoubts. A park of heavy artillery was placed
upon our right and on our left, each being quite a dis
tance from us. They commenced a lively ure upon the
enemy, who returned it with equal vigor. In a lew mo
ments the redoubt was concealed behind dense clouds ot
smoke.
Our regiment was covered from the fire of the Rus
sians by a slight mound. The balls seldom reached us,
for the singled out our cannoniers. The most of ihen
balls passed over our heads, or else buried themselves
iu tile earth at our feel, covering us with sand and
gravel. As soon as the command was given for us to
advance, my captain looked at me with an expression
which caused me to stroke my youthful moustache,
and to assume as much of an air of indifference as was
possible. My only tear was that he might think me a
coward. The balls, which until now had been harmless,
increased my composure. My pride told ine that the
da ger was great, for .here was no doubt but that I was
under the lire of battery The colonel passed our com
pany, and perceiving me, said: “You will soon see
something extraordinary for your commencement.” I
ieigued a martial smile, and brushed from iny coat-sleeve
some dust which had been cast upon it from a ball,
which had thrown up the earth a few paces iu advance
of me.
The Russians soon discovered that their cannon shot
produced no effect. They subslituted bomb-shells, one
of which exploded close by my side, killing a soldier,
and tearing the plume fioin my casque. “1 give you
uiy compliments; you are safe to-day,” said ihe cap
tain. 1 was already tamiliar with the soldier’s supersti
tion, that non on ot iu.n is as good an idiom on the
field of battle as in a court ot justice. I replaced my
casque upon my head, and replied: “This force., one to
make a salute vvithout ceremony.”
“1 congratulate you,” continued the captain. “You
have nothing more to fear this day, aud this evening
you will be promoted. 1 feel that something will hap
pen to me o- lay Every liine 1 have been wounded,
my second oificer has in tde a narrow escape, and,” he
co..tinned, half ashamed at his confession, “the first let
ter ..i their names was P.”
The tii - oi .ue Russiaus decreased in a groat measure,
in abou half an hour. VVe immediately advanced upon
the redoubt. (Jar regiment eon.-ns ed of tluee battal
ions. iue second was commanded to go to the rear of
ihe redoubt, aud the other two were directed to charge
upon it. i was in the third battalion. When we left
ihe trench, vvh.cb in a great measure protected us from
the lire of the enemy, we were saluted by a volley oi
mu.'keJrv, which, however, harmed us bin liitle. The
vvuisiliug oi bails surprised me, and 1 tinned my head,
causing my comrades, who were tamiliar with that son
•f music, to ridicule me. “Take it all in all,” said I to
m;s if, “a battle is uot such a horrible affair after
ali ”
We rapidly charged, the riflemen leading us. Sud
denly three cheers were heard coming from the redoubt,
alter which all was silent. “I do not like this stillness,”
said the captain, “it forebodes harm.”
Thi palisades of the redoubts were split by our balls,
and the soldiers rushed forward, shouting “ Vice tEru
pt rear P’
I gazed about me, and never shall I iorget the scene
which was opened before me. The huge clouds ot
smoke had arisen, hanging in the air like a jiall over
Ihe ruins of the redoubt. Russian grenadiers were to
be seen with their glistening bayonets, as they stood,
firm as statues, behind the palisades.
“Now the ball begins,” exclaimed the captain. “Good
night!” these were his last words. The beating of drums
was heard within the redoubt. Ail bayonets were imme
diately depressed. I shut my eyes, and beard a great
explosion, followed by loud cries and groans. Open
ing my eves, I looked around, astonished that I sail
lived. Nothing was to be seen but the dead and the
dying. Tlie captain was stretched out at my feet, u
cannon ball had struck his head, I was bespattered with
his blood and brains. Os ihe vvhole company six only
remained. And now everything was quiet. Suddenly
the colonel placed his hat upon the point of bis sword,
and waving it over his head, clambered over the pali
sades, shouting, “V te t’Empereur F’ All that were
able followed. I have scarcely any remembrance of
what followed. We entered the redoubt, i know not
bow. We bullied with the enemy breast to breast, en
veloped in such thick clouds of smoke, that nothing was
discernible. I sl.isbed tight and lelt, and think I either
killed or wounded some of the enemy, for my sword
was reeking with blood. At length I heard the shouts,
“Victory, victory!” The smoke diminished, 1 found
myself in the midst of blood. About two hundred
French soldiers were standing in irregular groups in and
I about the redoubt. Some were reloading their muskets,
and others wiping their swords. Eleven Russians had
been taken prisoners.
| The colonel was stretched out upon a broken gun
carriage. He was covered with bkod, and several sol
diers were bathing his temples I approached him.
“Whore is the old captain ?” he inquire 1 of the sur
geon.
The surgeon shrugged bis shoulders in a significant
manner.
“ilis first lieutenant?”
“Here ne is, Mr. I’ , who arrived yesterday.”
The colonel smiled bitterly. “Very well,” said he,
turning towards tne, “you now have the command. —
immediately cause the breach in the redoubt to be for
tified vvi.h gun carriages. The enemy is very numer
ous ; but a reinforcement is close at hand.”
“But, colonel,” I exclaimed, “you are seriously wound
ed.” ,
“Never mind,” said he, “we have taken the redoubt!”

Singular Case of Instinct in a UoRSE.--We Jo
not remember ever to have beard of a more remarka
ble exhibition of unique intelligence than was commun
icated to us a few days since by Mr. Allen, of this place.
The circumstances, as they were related to us, are as
follows: Mr. Allen has had for a considerable time a
span of sprightly little horses that he has never separa
ted. In the stable, in the field, in the harness, they
have always been together. This has caused a strong
attachment to grow up between them. A few days ago
be went wi h them out to Lake Mtnnetouck, on a fish
ing excursion. Taking then) out of tbs carriage, he led
them down to the lake, and tied them with stout ropes,
several rods apart, on a strip of grass that grew upon
tile shore, and left them to feed. Returning to the
sliantee, he threw himself upon the floor to await the
return of the party who had repaired to the lake to
fish
Not much time had elapsed before the sound of an aj -
proachiDg horse's fret attracted his attention and a mo
ment af er one of h:s span appeared ai tied< o The
animal put his head in, and giving one neigh, reiurued
at a slov gallop, yet under evident excitement, to the
spot where but a few moments before he and his com
panion had been seemingly safeiy fastened. Surprised
to find his horse loose, and struck vv::h his singular
conduct, Mr. A. immediately followed, and found the
other lying in the water entangled in the rope, and
struggling to keep his head front being submerged.
While Mr. A. proceeded to disengage the unfortunate
horse, his noble benefactor stood by manifesting the ut
most solicitude and svtnpathy, and when his mate was
extracted from his situation and agaiu uikui his feet on
terra fir nta, the generous creature exhibited the most
unquestionable signs of satisfaction and joy. That this
intelligent animal should have noticed tiie misfortune
of his mate, that he should know where to apply for
rescue, and his efforts should sunder a three-fourths of
au inch rope, and finally that he should exhibit so high
an appreciation of the event, are circumstances to as
tonish us, and commend them selves to ihe thoughtful
consideration of those who would limit the power of
reasoning to the “ genus homo.” — St. Anthony'e Ex
prttu.
The Rreathing Places of Loudon.
THE BEAUTIFUL PARKS AND SQUARES.
In the “Kural Essays” of Mr. Downing, recently put -
lisfied. a chapter is devoted to “the Parks of London.”
ih a ‘ r gv s ihe iaikside of thepicture, sketch
es the damps, ih • figs, and the hoary look of tiie great
me ropolis, nnd then he proceeds to give the bright
s de. Turning to the west end of London, he describes
its peculiar and distinguishing luxury to consist in the
fact that “it holds the country in i'.s lap.” In the midst
of London, lying in almost a connected series, are the
great Parks—llyde Park, Regent’s Park. St. James and
(Been Park, and Kensington Gardens. St. James’
P.nk and Green Park are enormous pieces of real plea
sure ground scenery, with broad glades of turf, noble
trees, rich masses of shru bery and flowery plants, lakes
filled with rare water fowl, and all open to the enjoy
ment of hundreds of thousands daily. But tlie pride of
London is in Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens,
which together contain nearly eight hundred acres, so
that one lias to make a circuit of about seven miles, to
go over the entire circumference.
If, says I)., you enter Hyde Park between seven and
eight m the morning, when all the world of fashion is
asleep, you will fancy, after yon have left the ga eways,
that you have made a great mistake, aud strolled out in
to the country unaware*. Scarcely a person is to be
seen at this time of day, unless it be some lonely foot
passenger, who looks as if he had lost his wits or his
way, at this early hour. But you see broad grass mead
ows, with scattered groups of trees, and your intpscssion
that you had got astray, and quite out of tiie reach of
the metropolis is confirmed by hearing the tinkle of
sheep bells. But tiiis is Hyde Park in dishabille. Go
in again in tlie afternoon, any time during the London
season, and ibe place will be so altered and animated
by the dram.itispersonre, that you hardly identify it as
the loede ot the solitary country rumble you took in the
morning. The Kensington Gardens are not only more
spacious and grand than Hyde Park, but the trees are
larger and more grove-like, and the broad glades of soft,
green turf, are of a darker and richer green.
Tne grand avenue of elms is some hundreds of years
o'd, and is always majestic and venerable. No carriages
oi horses are permitted in Kensington Gardens, but its
shadowy lawns are sacred to pedestrians, aud are espe
cially tbeganibold-lielcls of thousands of lovely children.
It is said that as many as two hundred thousand per
sons have been in llvde Park and Kensington Gardens
at once. Regent’s Park comprises about three hundred
and thirty-six acres of land, ornamental plantations,
drives and carriage roads ! It has a younger look than
the others, and among its attractions are tlie Royal Bo
tanic Garden, with its rich collection of plants, und tlie
Zoological Garden, some twenty acres in extent, where
may be seen thousands of living animals. But these
luxmies of fresh air and green fields, arc not wholly
confined to the west end of London. In almost ail parts
of the Great Metropolis are open places of eight or ten
acres, filled with trees, shrubs, grass and fountains, and
besides these, anew space called the Victoria Park, of
two hundred and ninety acres, has been laid out lately
in (he eastern portion of London, especially for tlie re
creation and amusement of the poorer classes who are
confined to that part of the town.— lnquirer.
Misapplied Talent.
A friend has favored us with a brief review of a bock
which not long since issued from the Boston press, en
titled the “A yto Uncle linns Cabin.” The review is
not complimentary to the character of the book, but the
writer must pardon us for declining its insertion. It
will be a sufficient notice for this journal to take of the
book to say that it is in every way worthy of the work
to which it is the key; that, while it equals its precut
sor in talent and invention, it surpasses it iu its mis
chievous tendencies, and the inveteracy of the evil it is
calculated to produce, in engendering misconstruction
and hatred between different sections of our country,
and iu drawing upon the whole country the scorn and
contempt of tlte foreign world. To those who can re
gard with complacency these benign anil Christian re
sults of the author’s labors, we can recommend the
book. For ourselves we would prefer the authorship
of the subjoined brief paragraph, which we find in a
la'e religious journal of Philadelphia, to ihat of both the
volumes of Mrs. Stowe and all the celebrity which
they have given to her name:— Motional Intdliymccr.
“ The longer we look at this subjict (slav r.)
the more fully we are convinced that the best friends oi
the slave are the dwellers in his own South. In that
South are those who received him a poor, naked savage,
fresh from Africa, and the horrors of the middle pass
age; they have clothed him, fed him, visited him in
sickness, have taken charge of his children in infancy ,
and provided for him in helpless old age; have taught
him a Saviour’s name, and been instrumental in shed
ding abroad in his heart a Saviour’s love, and prepar
ing for him a crown and a kingdom in heaven. A
whole nation of his people have-grown up here, and,
under the genial influence of Southern homes, thev
have been elevated from barban m to civilization and
Christianization, with a rapidity and to an extent to
which history shows no parallel. A part of his people
have gone hack to Africa, bearing with them the
princcl.'sa troaauro ot the noi>f-l—a r,imia)n£ation am.
pie for all their hardships ; more of them are going to
join those already there; others are to go, and what is
to be the final result w ill be known perhaps in that
day when Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands to God.
In al! til's process of elevating in ‘he mass a whole peo
ple from barbarism, whose hands have plied the leve
but those of Southern men ? Who have had ihe respon
sibility, cate, vexation, expense, even to the impoverish
ment of their lands and their families, but the people of
the South ? We believe that God in his providence is
yvorking out a mighty wonder for Africa’s sons, both in
their own and in this land, through what for ihe time
seems an evil, and that the final development will be
full of joy and gladness; and the results yvill then be
traced to their right sources, when Uncle Tom’s Cabin
shall have crumbled to the dust, and Mrs Stowe’s
name, her silver salver, and her British banquets are
remembered no more.”— Philadelphia Pree'/yterian.
The Past Exhumed.—The latest intelligence re
s, ec ing the Archaeological Researches which M. Place,
the French Consul at Mosul, has long been pursuing ou
the site of the Assyrian Palace at Khorsahad, is of some
interest, in connection with the previous report of Mr.
Lavard, the English explorer:
“Following his trenches, he has succeeded in finding
a wall of painted and enamelled bricks, in liue preser
vation, representing men, animals and trees—the first
specimen of Assyrian painting giving a complete and
undefaced subject which has up to this time been dis
covered. He has thus been enabled to show the man
ner in which those immense heaps of enamelled bricks
were used, which so abound in the neighborhood of
Nineveh and Babylon.
“These discoveries abundantly confirm the correct
ness of the descriptions of Ctesias and Diodorus regard
ing the palaces of the kings of Assyria, tlie yvalls of
which they describe as covered with paintings in ena
mel, representing the various incidents of the chase.—
These first results are, however, eclipsed by another,
which gives us an entirely new phase of Assyrian art.
Not far from ilie wall above described M. Place was for
tunate enough to find the first statue yet exhumed from
these ruins. This figure, in admirable preserva’ ion, is
represented holding a flask or a bottle, and is about four
feet and a half in height, chiselled from the same mar
ble as the bas-reliefs already described by Lavard. There
are certain indications which lender it probable that a
pendant to this statue may yet be found at the opposite
extremity of the passage.*’
Religion in California. —A letter from San Fran
cisco, published in the Presbyterian, says:
“An interesting commencement has been made in
the supply of California with the Gospel. The begin
i ing yvns small. It is now four and a half years since
the first Protestant clergyman came to this p! ico, who
has rn tde it a permanent place ot residence and of nrn
isteiiai labor. .Six mom hs afterwards live others joined
him in his work. Gradually the number of ministers
and organized churches has increased. At the present
time, the whole number of evangelical clergymen is one
hundred and eleven. These are distributed” among the
different branches of the church in the following pr< -
j .or i ions : —Of ihe Methodist Church North, thirty
eight ; Methodist Church South, tiventy-six ; Congr’e
ga’ionalist nine; Raptist, five; New School Presbyteri
an, eight; Associate Presbyterian, one; Dutch Reform*
e l, one; German Reformed, oue; Episcopalians, six;
Cumberland Presbyterians, four; Old School Presbyte
rians, nine.
Some of the above ministers are engaged in teaching;
a few in agencies for benevolent societies ; all are more
or Jpss, and the greater part exclusively employed
itt preaching. The number of distinct church organi
zations does not differ much from the aggregate num
ber of ministers. Probably they are somewhat fewer.
Still, the country at large is very inadequately siqt
plicd with spiritual and educational instrumentalities.”
J3fThe present area of the city ol New Orleans will
hardly fall short of forty square miles, being double
the atea of tlie incorporated limits of New York

A Hit by a Miss.—Congreve rockets were invented
in 1803, by Sir William Congreve. On a certain occa

where only his music can be excelled.” “Theft, Sir
William,” said the young ladv, “ substitute fireworks
for music, and that epitaph will answer for yourself”

DENTISTRY WITH ITS IMPROVEMENTS.
DR. G. McDonald would respect
fully call attention to his new and im-_
proved mode of putting up and fry
artificial teeth. The teeth, gums, and
plate, are all cemented together by beat, making solid
work, and inserted on the atmospheric pressure plan,
presenting a peifectly life-like appearance, of teeth and
gums, and possessing in every respect a decided supe
riority over block teeth, single gum teeth, or any other
mode that has hitherto been practiced.
Since the partnership between McDonald A Callages
has been dissolved, Dr. McDonald has associated with
him in the practice Dr. James McDonald, who he feel,
authorised in recommending as a gentleman of skill
and integrity. As they have prepared themselves lor
an extensive business in all branches of the professionr
despatch, as well as care and skill may be expected in ..11
their operations. Terms: either cash down or when
called for. jan 19-42-ts
