ENGLISH CHURCHES.
The “too early lost” Miss Laudoo left as a legacy to
the world a portfolio of unpublished poems, one ol which
is the loliowitig, touching and beautiful:
How beautiful they stand,
Those ancient alters ot our native land !
Amid the pasture fields and dark greeu woods,
Amid the mountains cloudy solitudes;
By rivers broad that rush into the sea;
By little brooks that, with a lapsing sound,
Like playful chtidien, run by copse aud lea;
Each tu its plot of holy ground,
How beautiful they staud,
Those old grey churches of our native land!
Our lives are ail turmoil!
Our souls are in a weary strife and toil,
Grasping and straining—taskiug nerve and brain,
Both day and nigut lor gain !
W e have grown worldly—have made gold our god—
Have turned our hearts away from lowly things;
We seek not uow the wild ilower ou the sod;
We seek uot suowy-tbided angels wings
Amid the summer skies—
For visions come not to polluted eyes!
Yet blessed quiet sanes!
Still piety, still poetry remains,
And shall remain, while ever on the air
One chapel bell calls high and low to prayer,—
Whilst ever green and sunny churchyards keep
The dust ot our beloved, and tears are shed
From fouuts which in the human heart lie deep;
Something m these aspiring days we need,
To keep our spirits lowly,
To set within our hearts sweet thoughts and holy!
And ’tis for this they staud,
The old grey churches of our native land!
Aud even in the gold corrupted mart,
In the great city s hear 1 ,
They staud ; aud charity dim, and organ sound,
And stated services of prayer and praise,
Like to the righteous ten w hich were uot found
for the polluted city, shall upraise,
Meek taith aud low sincere—
Better in lime ot need than shield and spear!
Liking tu See.
A Boston poet, among other things, likes to see the
following:
“I like to see an agent
Never correct a wrong;
- And it you comptam ol au outrage —
Whistle, or hum a song,—
And then refer you, if the things you press,
i.ve hundred miles away, to gel redress.
“I lute to see my baggage
Come forth from the car with a toss:
My trunk all marred and broken;
No matter —it’s only mil loss
But tbe.i I’d like to see the baggage master
Hu.rieU headlong after them, with like disaster.”
Political Ladies.
When lovely woman stoops to politics,
And uuds it doesn’t pay;
What charm can wean her from her folly,
And put her in the proper way ?
The only plan we can discover,
Is the one we now propose;
That is she should obtain a lover,
Marry him and mend his hose.
Lines by an Old Fogy.
I’m thankful that the sun and moon
Are hung up so high.
That no presumptuous hand can stretch
And pull them from the sky.
If f hey were not, 1 have no doubt
But some reforming ass
Would recommend to take them down,
And light the world with gas !
Ai-thoe or the Rail wat System.— We move on
ward in every direction in lhe elegant and comfortable
rail car, with too great a velocity to inquire to whom
we are indebted for this great wonder ol our progres
sive age, aud we know very little of the author ot this
system, which has done much in late years in develop
ing the resources of ear country. The benefits result
ing to mankind from railways every one is ready to ad
mit at very large, if not beyond the conception of any
among us, and yet the system is undergoing daily im
provement. Who would tbink, if in our bustling bur
ry skurry we can think, that the man who we are in
debted for this g;eat good is still living in England, has
been ridiculed and scotfed at, and is now generally for
gotten.
Thomas Gray, the first projector of a general railway
system, was generally laughed at as the auggestor of a
useless project, met no encouragement, became poar,
dishearted, despised and neglected. Yet despised and
neglected as he was, the work he suggested advanced
with rapid strides, and still moves onward with increas-
**l *nd sail increasing velocity. We find the following
brief sketch of Mr. Gray in one of our exchanges, though
we know not who is entitled to credit for it. No one
‘'d! read it without feeling an interest in the subject
tad a desire for further information of this gentleman.
—liacinmUi Gazette.
Thomas Gray was born in Leeds, England, about half
century, or more, ago—and this is all we know of his
wlv history. The Middletown colliery bad a railway
to carry coal to Leeds, a distance of three utiles The
cars moved along at the rate of three and a half miles
per hour. It was laughed at—not by Gray, btA the
‘■ise public. Gray saw in his little work something
that might be augmented into greatness; and he thought
upon the subject—and forthwith became a visionary ‘.
He talked and wrote upon his project of “A General
Iron Railwaythe people declared him insane. He
petitioned Parliament, sought interviews with the Lords
and other great men, and thus became the laughing
stock of all England. He received nothing but rebuffs,
wherever he went. All this took place iu 1620, or there
abouts.
But he succeeded at last. The railways were laid. —
The world was benefited by the madness of Thomas
Gray.
Well, what became of him? the reader will ask. We
do not know ; but we believe he still lives, in Exeter,
to which place he removed. Up to 1846 he had been
neglected. While thousands have been enriched by the
communication of bis brillmut scheme, he remained for
gotten—forced to poverty to sell glass on commission,
for bring. Uowitt, in the People’s Journal, a few
years ;tgo, gave a somewhat lengthy sketch of his ca
reer, thus bringing him into puolic notice. We have
seen nothing in print iu relation to him lately. Elliott
wrote a great truth in these words:
“How many men, who lived to bless mankind,
Have died unthanked!”
How many of the railway projectors, agitators, stock
aiders, Ac., have ever heard of the subject of this briel
sketch ?

A\ e agree with the \\ estmiuistcr Review in saving
that the following sketch by Thackray is surpassed bi
nothing in the Spectator. It was a contribution lo
Punch, and has not yet been re-published, with bis
o her works, in this country.
Ou A Good-Looking Young Lady.
Sometime ago, I fiad the fortune to witness at the
house ot Erminiu s brother a rather pretty and afteci
i.g scene; whereupon, as my custom is, I would like
to make a few remarks. I must promise that I knew
Ermmia s family long before the young lady was bora
\ ictoru her mother, Boa her aunt, Chinchilla her
grandmother—l have been intimate with every one ot
these ladies; and at the table of Sabilla, her married
sister, with whom Ermmia lives, have a cover laid for
uie whenever I choose to ask it.
Even - body who has once seen Erminia remembers
her. rale is beucficent to the man before whose eyes
at the park, or churches, or theatres, or public or pri
vate assemblies, it throws Erminia To see her face is
a personal kindness for which one ought to be thank
ful to it ortune; who might have shown you C'api c-Ilu,
with her whiskers or Felissa, with her savage eyes, in
stead of the calm and graceful Erminia. When she
comes into ihe room, it is like a beautiful air of Mozurt
breaking upon you; when she passes through a ball
room, everybody turns and asks who is that princest,
that fair lady* Even the women, esi>ecially those who
are the most beautiful themselves, admire her. Bv one
of those kind freaks of favoritism which Natures takes,
she has endowed this young lady with almost every
kind of perfection; has given her a charming face, it
! perfect form, a tine perception, and a wit, a pretty
( sense of humor, a laugh and n voice that arc as sweet
I as music to bear, for innocence and tenderness ring in
i every accent, and a grace of movement which is curi
i osity to watch, lor in every attitude of modon or re
pose, her form moves or seitle into beauty, so that a
| perpetual grace accompanies her. 1 have’ before said
that lam an old fogy. On the day when I leave off
; admiring I hope I shall die. To see Erminia is not to
fill in iove with her; there are some women too hand
j some, as it were, for that; and I would as soon think
j of making myself miserable because 1 could not marry
the moon, and make the silver-bowed Goddess Diana
Mrs. Pacitico, as I should think of having any personal
j aspirations towards Miss Erminia
‘A ell, then, it lia; peued the other day that this nl
[ most peerless creature, on a visit to the* country, met
that great poet, Ti mot Ileus, whose habitation is not far
from the country house of Erminia’s friend, and who,
upon seeing the young lady, felt for her that admira
tion w hich every man of taste experience upon be
holding her, and which, if Mrs. Timolheus had uot
| been an exceedingly sensible person, would have caus
j ed a great jealously be: wen her and the great bard her
| husband. But, charming and beautiful herself, Mrs.
Timolheus cau even pardon another woman for being
j so; uay, with perfect good sense, though possibly with
a little factitious enthusiasm, she professes to share to
its fullest extent the admiration of the illustrious Tim
■ otheus for the young beauty.
After having made himself well acquainted with Er
miuia’s perfection, the famous votary of Apollo and
leader of the tuneful choir did w hat might be expected
from such a poet under such circumstances aud began
to sing. Thi the way in which Nature has provided
that poets should express their emotions. When thei
see a beautiful creature they straightway fall to work
with their ten syllables and eight syllables, with duty
rhyming to beauty, vernal to eternal riddle to fiddle, or
what you please, and turn out to the best of their abili
ty, and with great pains and neatnes on their own
part, a copy of verses iu praise of the adorable object.
I myself may have a doubt about the genuineness of
the article produced, or of the passion which vents it
self m this way, for how can a man who has to assert
carefully bis tunes and sighs, to make his epithets neat
and melodious, to hunt here and there for rhymes, an<4
to bite the tip of his pen, or pace Ihe gravel walk in
front of his house, searching for ideas—l doubt, I say,
how- a man who must go through the above process
before turning out a decent set of verses, can lie actua
ted by such strong feelings as you and I, when, in the
day of our youth, with no particular preparations but
with our hearts full of manly ardor, and tender, re
spectful adinriation, we went to the £accharissa for the
time being, aud poured out our souls at her feet. This
sort of eloqueuce comes spontaneously ; that poetrv
does not require rhyme-jingling and mere-sorting, but
rolls out of you, you don’t know how, as much, per
haps, to your own surprise as to that of the beloved ob
ject whom you address. In my time, I know w henever
I began to make a verse about a woman, it was wheu
my heart was no longer very violently smitten about
her, and the verses were a sort of mental drain aud ar
tificial stimulus with which a man worked himself up
to represent enthusiasm and perform passion. Well,
then ; I see what you mean ;I am jealous of him. Ti
molheus’ verses were beautiful that’s a tact —confound
him ! —and I wish I could write as well, or half as well
iudeed, or do anything to give Erminia pleasure Like
an honest man aud faithful servant, he went and made
the best thing he could, and laid this offering at Beau
ty’s feet. W hat can a gentleman do more? My dear
Mrs. Pacitico uere remarks that I never made her a
copy of verses. Os course not, my love. lam not a
verse-making man, nor are you that sort of objeet—
that sort of target, I may say—at which, were 1 poet, I
would choose to discharge those winged shafts of
Apollo.
When Erminia got the verses and read them, she
laid them down, and w ith one of the prettiest and most
affecting emotions which I ever satv in tny life, she be
gan to cry a little The verses of course were full of
the praises of her beauty. “They all tell me that,” she
said ; “ nobody cares for anything but that,” cried the
geutle and sensitive creature, feeling within that she
had a thousand acouiplishments, attractions, charms,
w hich her hundred thousand lovers would not see.
whilst they were admiring her outward figure, and
head-piece.
I once heard of another lady, “de par le rmnde,” as
honest Des Bordeilles says, who, after looking at her
plain face in the glass, said beautifully and pathetically,
“ I am sure 1 should have made a good wife to any
man, if he could but have got over my face!” and
bewailing her maidenhood in this touching and artless
manner, saving that she had a heart full of love, if any
body would accept it, full of faith and devotion, could
she’but find some man on whom to bestow it. She but
echoed the sentiment which I have mentioned above,
aud which caused in the pride of her beauty, the
melancholy- of the lonely and victorious beauty ’ “ We
are full of truth and kindness, ye men !” each says, “of
truth aud purity. We don’t care about your good
looks. Could we but find the right mao, the man who
loved us lor ourselves, we would endow him with all
the treasure of our hearts, and devote our Jives to
make him happy.’’ I admire a.d reverence Enninia’s
tears, and the simple heartstric’-en plaint of the other
forsaken lady. She is Jephtha’s laughter, condemned
for no lauli of her own, but doomed by fate to disappear
from among women. The other is a queen in her
splendor, to whom all the lords and princess bow down
and pay worship. “Ah !” said she, “itis to the queen
you are kneel.ng, all of you. lam a woman under this
crown and ermine. I want to lie loved, and not to be
worshipped: and to bo allowed to love is given to
everybody but me.”
Ilow much finer a woman's nature is than a mau’s,
(by an ordinance of nature for the purpose no doubt
devised,) how much purer and less sensual than ours,
is u fact so cousoling to mishapen men, to ugly men,
to little men, to giants, to old men, to poor men, to
men scarred with the small pox, or ever so ungainly
or unfortunate—that their ill looks or mishaps don't
ioilueuce women regarding them, and that the awk
wardest follow has a chaucc tor a price. Whereas,
when we, brutes that we are, enler into a room, w>e si
dle up naturally to the prettiest woman. It is the
pretty face aud figure which attracts us; it is not vir
tue, or merit, or mental charms, be thev ever so great.
When one reads the fairy tale of Beauty and the
Beast, no one is at all surprised at Beauty’s being mov
ed by Beast’s gallantry, and devotion, and true-heart
eduess, and rewarding him wiih her own love at last
There was hardly any need to make him a lovely voung
prince in a gold dress under his horns and bearskin.—
Beast as he was, hut good Beast loyal Beast, brave, af
fectionate, upright, generous, enduring Beast, she
would have loved his ugly mug without any attraction
at all. It is her nature to do so, God bless” her. It was
a man made the story, one of those two-penny-half
peuny mcn-milliner moralists, who think that to have
a handsome person and a title are the greatest gifts of
fortune, and that a man is not complete unless ne is a
lord aud has glazed boots. Or it may have been that
the transformation alluded to did not actually take
place, but was only spiritual, aud iu Beauty’s mind,
and that, seeing before her loyalty, bravery, truth, and
devotion, thev became in her eyes lovely, and she
hugged her Beast with a perfect contentment to the
end.
When uglv Wilkes said that he was only a quarter
of an hour behind the handsomest man iu England,
meaning that the charms of his conversation would
make him in that time at a lady’s side as agi ceaole and

How ti ue it is (not of course applicable to you, my
dear reader and lucky dog, who possess both wit and
the most eminent personal attractions, hut of the world
iu general,) we look tor beauty: women for love.
ho, fair Erminia, dry your beautiful eyes and submit
to your lot, and to that adulation which all men pay
you; iu the midst of which court of yours the sover
eign must perforce be only. That solitude is a condi
tion of your life, my dear young lady, which many
would like to accept; nor will your dominion last much
longer than my lard Earucoinbe’s, let us say, at the
Mausion House, whom time and the inevitable Novem
ber will depose. Another potentate will ascend his
throne; toast-master will proclaim another name than
his, and the cup will be pledged to another health. As

Mr. Gough stated in his lecture at Trenton, N. J., that
600,000 persons had signed the pledge, and connected
themselves with the Y.'ashingtornan movement: that of
this number 4.V>,000 had retrograded aud violated the
pledge, and cither filled a drunkard’s grave, or were
miserable drunkard's; that the original mover of the
project now kept a low groggery in Baltimore, and was

Rome.—ln a letter from Rome, on the 17th of May
1 -st, Mr. Bryant, editor of the New York Evening Post,
notices the preponderance of the military costume over
ecclesiastical and the restraints ou public intelligence,
but adds:
“In the midst of the evils of this false system of politi
cal organization, there are some tokens of prosperity to
be seen at Rome. I have no doubt that the population
of the city has considerably increased within the last
twenty years. The proof of this is to be found in the
rise ot rents, and the difficulty which now exists in find
ing commodious apartments. I ant told that rents have
nearly doubled, and (hat the spacious suites of rooms
which a few years since stood vacant in the palaces and
other large houses, now have their inmates. This is
owing, no doubt, in part to the general growth of the
population of Italy during the late long interval of rest
from war, and in part to the now facilities lor travelling,
which bring many more strangers to Rome than forme:-
ly as visitors or residents. The tide also, which in the
ecclesiascai world is setting back toward* the usages
and opinions of the middle ages, no doubt floats tnanv
hither, and add something lo this new growth of Rome.
Those who foretold that the Eternal t'itv, in the un
healthy air of her Campogna, would at no ifi.stuotday be
come unpeopled, must be content to look to a very re
moie and indefinite futurity for the fulfilment of their
prediction.
“Meantime the city is somewhat beautiful with al
most every succeeding year. .Statues aud columns are
erected ; the old irregular pavement of the streets, trod
den with so much pain by those who had corns ou their
feet, has been taken up, and its place supplied by a
smoother one, composed of small rectangular blocks of
stone, like those used in paving the streets of Paris; a
noble causeway, with parapets and a pavement of hewn
stone, lias been lately made over the low grounds just
without the guie, as the new Appian wav; and the pub
lic ganden and the Monte Pittcio has been embellished
with rows ot busts, iu marble, of the illustrious men of
Italy, her sages, artists, and outhors Workmen are
now occupied in the garden, forming its walks and
planting them with trees, among which 1 perceive the
evergreen magnolia, the bavonet-laven palmetto, the
date palm, and other trees of’ the palm kind, which do
not tiud the climate here 100 rude for their growth.”
Bathing.
As the season for this healthful luxury is now with
us, we have thought the following article on the sub
ject, from the Philadelphia Bulletin, would prove ac
ceptable to many of our readers.
Even the best things are occasionally productive of
injurious consequences, when indulged in to excess or
used without discretion. Bathing is one instance
among many. Too much bathing debilitates even the
most robust, often destroys the appetite, or leads to
oLer hurtful results, llot baths, not ten id ones, are
particularly apt to prove deleterious. Few persons,
indeed, cau employ them at all with advantage. Dr
Tilt, an English physician ot eminence, who has writ
ten an admirable work on the best means of preserving
health, gives it as his personal experience that hoi
baths produce temporary plethora, headache, and a
sense of weakness amounting almost to fainting. These
are, he thinks, the general results also. He advises,
therefore, that hot baths should be avoided, unless
when a , hysician has explicitly directed their use.
lepid aud cold baths, to be employed according to
the constitution and habits of the particular individual,
are the baths to which most should confine themselves.
Nervous persons are especially benefitted by the tepid
bath, which seems to have a direct sedative influence
on the nervous system, probably by absorbing, accord
ing to Dr. Tilt, the morbid irritability arising from au
undue development of the miud at the expense of the
body. Napoleon, after excessive fatigue, either mental
or physical, was accustomed to take a tepid bath, aud,
if possible, indulge a while in sleep; aud he was often
heard to declare, .hat, w ithout such a sedative, it w ould
have been impossible for him to have preserved his
general health. After his exhausting return from Rus
sit, subsequent to the memorable conflagration of Mos
cow, he went immediately into the bath before trans
acting business, and then slept, without waking, for
eighteen bouts, and when he rose he was as fresh as
ever. The celebrated Diana of Poictiers, one of the
most beautiful women France ever gave birth to, aud
who maintained her charms long beyond the usual
term, owed the preservation of her loveliness principal
ly to the daily, but judicious use of the bath. Thus we
see that ordinary health, the capacity to endure great
fatigues al ke of mind and body, aud th* rnaintainance
of personal beauty in the (air sex, depend, more or less,
on the discriminating, but habitual employment of the
hat li 0
lhe tepid bath is, perhaps, the one most generally
suitable. The temperature ot a tepid bath should
range from 82 deg. to 86 deg. Fahrenheit. While the
tempeiature is kept below blood heat, the bodv slowly
increases iu weight, partly owing to the absorption of
water, partly to the diminution of insensible perspira
tiou. in a tepid hath, heated from 82 deg. to 86 deg.
Fahrenheit, it was ascertained by Chossat that the
pulse descended from sixty pulsations to thirty-eight,
and it was clearly the soothing effect thus produced,
which remitrta itic sia h*tl. ou dulieluu* iu the irri
table nerves of Napoleon. Dr. Tilt recommends the
tepid batji after long railway journeys, excessive walk
ing or riding, or at periods of nervous irritability, su
perinduced by any causes. Cold baths are favorites
with many persons, especially those of robust frames
aud high health. But it is never wise to remain long
iri a very cold ba h. On coming out, if the stay has
not been too protracted, the body feels as if entering
into a warmer atmosphere, because of the density of the
water, and because also the sensibility of the skin is
blunted.
Sometimes headache supervenes This is a sign of
a partially diseased skin, and a want of reaction caus
ing the blood to remain concentrated on the internal
organs, where it was driven by the shock of the cold
water.
The best, perhaps (he only test, of the kind of bath
proper for each particular individual is experiment.—
Opinionated persons, ignorant of the modus operand!
ol the bath, always maintain that the sort adapted for
themselves is the description suitable for all. We know
some individuals who swear, as it were, by cold baths,
and others w ho are just as obstinate in behalf of tepid
baths. A physician familiar with the habits and con
stitutions of the patient can generally tell w hat kind of
hath should be used, even without experimenting.
Practical Eloquence.
The following very brief and decidedly pithy speech
of Oliver Cromwell, will doubtless be new to “mauy of
our readers. It was delivered by the great English
man on dissolving the King Parliament. It is a perfect
specimen of the rude, vigorous and hardy style of this
singular character, and for its point and power we
commend it to the study of the next Congress of the
United States. There are more places than one that
we wot of, where it could be pronounced with great
propriety:
It is iiigh time for me to put an end to your sitting
in this place, which ye have dishonored by- your con
tempt of all virtue, and denied by your practice of eve
ry vice. Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all
good government. Vc are a pack of mercenary wretch
es, and would, like Esau, sell your country for a mesa
of pottage, and like Ji iiAS betray your God lor a few
piece* of silver. Is there a single virtue uow remain
ing among you? Is there one vice you do not possess?
You have no more religion than my horse. Gold is
your God. Which of you has not bartered away your
conscience for bribes ? Is there a man among you that
has the least care lor the good of the commonwealth ?
You sordid prostitu es. Have vou not defiled the sa
cred place, and turned the laird’s temple into a den of
thieves? By your immoral principles and wicked
practices ye have grown intolerably odious to a whole
nation. You who were deputed here by the people
to get their grievances redressed, arc yourselves be
come the greatest grievance. Your country, therefore,
calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable by putting
a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this
house, aud which by God’s help, and the strength He
has given me, I now intend to do. I command you,
therefore, upon the peril of vour lives, to depart” im
mediately out of this place. Go! Get vou out! Make
haste! Ye venal slaves, begone! ‘Take away that
shining bauble there, the Speaker’s tnacc, and lock up
the doors!

One benefit of Commerce is its influence upon the
mental and moral nature, or upon the intellects and
the hearts of men. It ever tends to stir the minds of
a community, and produce activity in business, and at
the same time fosters and disseminates Christianity. —
The fitst is proven from the history of Tyre, and the
second from the reign of Solomon, so renowned both
tor science nnd religion. Whatever increases mental
\ igor, or purities and elevates the affections of men, is
so much gain to the community. The history of the
mechanical arts, the improvements in agriculture, of
institntinns of learning and ol religion, clearly shows
that they have been fostered and promoted By com
merce Since the day that Haul went to Rome in the
inerch lit ship laden with wheat, wherever Commerce
lias spread her sails, religion has lifted her banner
The missionaries of our country have gone to their re
spective fields of lubor in merchant ships. So in all
ages, Commerce has beet) the handmaid of religion.—
Who are the most intelligent, active miuded, and reli
gions men in all our communities, but merchants ?
The agricultural population of a country are, perhaps,
generally more steady, uniform, careful, and perma
nent ; but they are more seldom so active-minded,
practically useful, and enterprising as our merchants
Where are our great national improvements projected
and carried into effect, but in our cities, “ whose mer
chants are princes, and whose traffickers are the bou
-1 orable of the earth ?” Who are the chief supporters of
out er, at .- hvoes of benevolence, the boards of our
chutrhe ? Who are the most active in endowing our
colleges and institution* of learning? Who afford the
facilities for trade to the great manufacturing and agri
cultural interests of our country ? The answer will be
giveu by every one.— HutU't Merchant’s Ma/jazine.
The Black Swan and White Crow.— Miss Green
field, “the Black Swan,” who recently gave several con

she is lionized by the Duchess of Sutherland aud her
circle. The Duchess has given a morning concert, at
Sutherland House, at which the Swau sang several
pieces, and was warmly encored. A large number of
