Good Temper.
BY CHARLES SWAIN.
There’s not a cheaper thing on earth,
Nor yet one halt so dear;
‘Tis worth more than distinguished birth.
Or thousands gained a year;
It lends the day anew delight;
’Tis virtue’s firmest shield;
And adds more beauty to the night
Than all the stars may yield.
It maketh poverty content;
To sorrow whispers jieace;
It is a gift from Heaven sent
For mortals to increase.
It meets you with u smile at mom;
It lolls you io re; ose;
A flower tor peer and peasant born,
An everlasting rose.
A charm to banish grief away.
To free the brow from care;
Turns tears to smiles—makes dullness gay—•
Spreads gladness everywhere;
Ana yet ’tis cheap as summer dew.
That gems the lily’s breast,
A tal'isniau for love as true
As ever man possessed.
As smiles the rainbow through the cloud
When threat’ning storm begins—
As -mi-e ’mid the temj>est loud.
T:><! It it.’ sweet way wi s
- arch ac’oss ‘he t le.
So comes this seraph to our side,
This angel of our home.
What may tLis wondrous spirit be,
With power unheard before—-
This charm, this bright divinity—
Good nature—nothing more!
Good temper —’tis the choicest gift
Tint woman homeward brings.
And can the poorest peasant lift
To heights unknown to kings.
The First Recorded Ascent of Mount St.
Helens in Oregon.
Onr progress through the dense forest was necessa
rily slow and tedious. At one point one of our pack
horses lolled dowu a steep precipice for several rod-,
where it would seem impossible for an animal iu doing
so, to escape instant death; but upon releasing him
from his burden, and assisting lnm to rise, we found
that he was not seriously hurt—our camp and cooking
u'tD-iis appeared to suffer more injury than the horse.
On tlie second day further progress with horses was
found impracticable. Upon looking around we fortu
nately fouud a small patch of grass and camped. The
next morning at break of day, Messrs. W ilson, Sn i h,
Drew, and ourself, took three days rations together
with such things as were deemed necessary to aid us
in the ascent, and left the camp for the summit, distant
about tour miles in an air line. We found the route a
continual steep ascent, with the exception of an occa
sional descent over a precipitant ledge of rocks About
two miles from our camp we descended a high ledge
to the bed of a small stream, which we followed until
we struck the lava at the foot of the bare mountain,
where vegetation ceases to make it* appearance. The
portion of this stream which we traveled has a fall of at
least loot) feet to the mile, and a much greater one
higher up.
T'ue appearance of the mountain upon a near approach
is sublimely grand, and impossible to describe. The
blackened piles of lava which were thrown into ridges
hundreds of feet high, in every imaginary shape, with
an occasional high cliff of primitive formation, seeming
to lift its head above and struggle to be released from
its compressed position, impress the mind <>f the behol
der with the (Hover of Omnipotence, and the insiguiti
canee of human power when comput ed with Nature's
God. And above all stands a tower of eternal rock and
snow, apparently stretching its high head far above the
clouds, and looking down with disdain upon all be
neath. The glaring sunbeams upon the “ snows of a
thousand winters,” serve by contrast to make the im
mense piles of lava appear blacker thau they otherwise
■could.
We commenced the ascent at once, on the south side,
by climbing up the cliffs of lava towards a small cluster
of spruce trees which stands a short distance from the
line of perpetual snow After several hours of hard
toil we reached this point, and finding a few sticks ol
dry wood, kindled a tire, and made our camp for the
night. We here supplied ourselves with water by
melting snow. We found the night cold and extreme
ly uncomfortable—onr party did not find much repose,
and as the eastern sky commenced to show the aj>-
proach of day, we left the camp and pursued our wav
upward. The higher we ascended, the more difficult
became our progress. Suffice it to say, that by con
stant and persevering effort, we were enabled the reach
the highest pinnacle of the mountain soon after meridi
an. The atmosphere produced a singular effect upon
all the party; each face looked pale and sallow, and all
complaiued of a strange ringing in the ears. It appear
peared as if there were hundreds of tine toned bells
jingling all around us. Blood started from our noses,
ana all of us found respiration diificult. With this ex
ception, we all felt well. It would be futile to attempt
to give our readers a correct idea ot the appearance of
thtT vast extent of country visible troin the top of this
mountain. The ocean, distant over one hundred miles,
was plamiv seen. The whole coast and Cascade ranges
of mountains could be plainly traced with the naked
eve. The snow covered peaks of Mounts Hoods, Rain
er, and two others, seemed close by. These form a
sort of aiupitiieatre on a large scale, diversified with
hills and valleys.
The crater has been represented to be on the math
west side of the mountain, which is not the ease. We
took the bearing from the top with a compass, and
found it to be on the northeast side. The smoke was
cn itinuallv issuing from its mouth, giving uu mist aka
evidence that the fire “as not ex mgui-hed. There is
touch more snow on the north than on the south side;
on the latter it is bare in spots, while on the former it
is hundreds f feet deep. We examined fissures in the
snow several n>ds across, which extended a great
length along .he side of the mountain; and on throw
ing a stone down, hearJ it strike a long distance from
tu.
After spending sufficient time to site what was to be
seen, and building a pvra.nid of 100-e stones on the
kit** - - ..? of lev.-I earth and is’ies, we commenced
1 ■t. . ; i-l our can pat o dock in he
/.tiled and wmiiout itib. and > atid th-ois. At
tadc <ve rescued the timber, and encamped tor the
ttight. The next morning we left our encampment on
the mountain for home, which we reached in four days.
Tbore is but little good tillage land on the route we
traversed. We passed two very good prairies of stiffi
deut extent for s veral claims on each, but with these
e *®ephons, and an occasional tioct of bottom land, we

Paris, Tuesday, Nor. 1, 13*3.
French Aristocracy 1i;ls discovered a uew aliment for
its whims; anew diversion which it is endeavoring to
ui ise exclusive. Like most aristocratic freaks, it hats |
soon risen to a rage. It is not yet long since ibe stee
ple chase was in!induced into France from the other
side ol the channel, and already it has gained a popu
i.iritj equaling that which it enjoys on Us native soil.
The days of kninbt-errantry, of! he tournaments and the
duel, are to be sunk in the equestrian exploits of jum -
i - ig ditches mid stone fences, and in breaking horse’s
legs and necks. Counts, barons and marquises, now
thrust themselves into the jockey costume with as much
eri.pre.tsriutnt, as did the knights of old into mailed ar
mor when preparing for the tournament; the great dif
ference being that in one case the victor was crowned
with the smiles and favors of a fir lady, w .ile in the
other he tills his pockets with hard cash ; a very fair
example of the uiilitar.au progress of the age we live
in. In the latter case the “ fair lady ”is generally the
one wlio bets the highest; and here lies the advantage,
in point of excitement, of the modern .niprovemeut ;
for in addition to the danger of broken beads and limbs,
about equal in cither amusement, there is the more
powerful excitement ot betting. The morality of the
improvement, like many other modern oucs, will not
bear discussion.
The most brilliant assmblage of the season lix k place
last Sunday, at the favorite resort near Yiile d'Avray. l
The Emperor, Empress and suite, the Grand Duchess
of Baden and suite, a majority of the chiefs and subor
dinates of the Departments of State, the nobility and
gentry, tlie members of the jockey’ club, and a large
number ot Euglish gentlemen, who had come over ex
pressly for the occasion, crowded the held of sport.—
Not less than two thousand carriages were on the
ground, a large proportion of which were “ha! are
called here “ Atnericaines,” while there were a consid
ei able number of the heavy, but stylish, English coach
es and four, used as family traveling wagons. The
price of admission to the field being placed so high, and
tlie distance from Paris so great, the assemblage was
uhat the Club desired it to be—entirely select, as far as
regards personal appearauee, at least. So exclusive an
assemblage of brilliant liveries and elegant toilettes o!
both sexes, would be difficult to meet in any country*—
it was gratifying to see but few American iadies on the
ground ; ibe gentlemen, however, turned out very
strong. The most noted aefresses, dancers, singers,
and other celebrities of Paris, were present, exciting
enw and supprise by the magnificence of their toill
e ••*.
Toe Emperor and Empress came on tlie field in an
open caleche, drawn by four horses, with four similar
carriages following, containing their suite, but without
military escort. They stepped out of their carriage into
the crowd, and passing through a narrow opening that
was made for them s[Mintaneouslv bv the people with
out the aid of policemen, they passed to the imperial
stand, in front of which six soldiers were drawn up to
present arms, while another gave the imperial rap, tap,
tap. on the drum. As the Emperor passed along, re
cognising here and there an acquaintance, the people
look off their hais as tbev do on meeting u friend ; hut
there was no cheering; the bourgeois never shout
” Vive l'Enipereur”—they leave that to hired chiffon
iers. The Emperor has again that sallow, bloated ap
pearance which he wore more than a year ago, and
from which he had partly recovered ; he begins to stoop,
and when he walks bears heavily on his stick, as if be
r q died its support to sustain himself. Schemers
a.; i ist the life of Louis Napoleon have no need to jeop
aiiii-e their lives in attempts upon his; for nature will
have accomplished its work with bis body before many
years roll around. It is exceedingly rare to see a man
wi h his peculiar dead appearance of the skin, and with
such manifest indications of imperfect secretion, hold on
to life as tenaciously as he does It is still more rare to
see a man recover from this condition.
After the Imperial party had gained the stand pre
pared for ‘hem, the horses were called for a start. In
the circle which was to be run, there were 17 obstacles
to be leaped; stone-hedges, hurdles, dry ditches md a
river I*s feet wide, and 5 deep, dug square down, and
hid at its edge by shrubbery, so that the horses could
not see it till they arrived at the (mint toniak ■ he leap.
The course lay around an ordinary farm, slightly undu
la.ing, with meadow, table-land, marsh and thickets c
bushes and forest trees, very happily interspersed, so as
to make the chase approximate as near as possible :.’
veritable fox or deer-chase. Flag-staffs erected at the!
different objects to be leaped, indicated the track to be
pursued
The horses were all English, but owned in France.—
Their owners, titled gentlemen, were to ride each his
own horse The first race was to be twice around th<
track, two miles and a half; eight horses started. At
the river they all jumped nearly together, and all escap
ed without accident except the Count Talon’s line horse,
Honey Dew, who fell and broke a hind leg, near the
rtifle joint. He was afterward shot. Tbe rider escaped
without serious injury. At a gaiden fence, anothei
horse fell and was “ done fortwo others bolted at the
hurdles, and only four came in on the ‘‘home stretch.”
For the second race seven horses started, and three
came In running ; two had laden, and the others bolted.
On tbe third race, four horses stuated; wheu the signal
was given, one horse bolted up the hill and was no
more seen; another fell, and two came in the home
stretch at a sweeping rate, leaping the obstacles as ii
there had been nothing in the way.
These races pit since the greatest excitement imagi
nable; for, besides the usual interest taken in a horse
race, there is added to it the expectation, in fact, the al
most certainty, that a serious accident of some kind
will hapjien. And what gives still further interest, in
the tact that therideis are generally the owners, and
are not only titled js-rsons, but men of respectability,
of family and of wealth, and engage in the chase more
tor exciteiiieut than for money. Viewed from the
stands these races are extremely picturesque ; it is rare
to see the same horse keep the lead for any considera
ble distauce on account of tue nature of the ground, and
the more or less derangements which take place at the
obstacles. At each obstacle there is a crowd gathered,
where each cheers his favorite horse. Sometimes the
horses are lost for a momeut iu a cluster of trees, and
then again they are seen seainjiering across a level
steich of meadow, with tremendous strides, till they
reach a fence, where, perhaps some fall and others bolt,
while the better-trained hors % leaping with ease and
precision all the obstacles placed in their way, arrive a.
l ist at the piece of level ground, where the trial ofsjieed
takes place, and which terminates at the judges’ stand.
Here the poor beasi receives the lash, and the money
excitement runs up to zero. 1 have seen more than one
Frenchman, men of respectability, of dignity and great
propriety under other circumstances, rush on the track,
and indifferent to the jeers and convulsive laughter oi
the less interested spectator, jump up into the air every
time his favorite horse had to leap an obstacle, let him
down again easy and safely, (in his motion,! laugh,
swear, exort, sea-saw the air with his arms, and finally,
when his tavorite came sweeping past him in the lead,
go into an ecstacy of abandoned delirium that was re
freshing to look at.

From the X. Y. Keen n: Post.
Reductions from the East Census.
It appotrs from the “Abstract of the Seventh Census,”
published this year, that the United States possessed, at
the beginning of lsv>2, as much completed railroads,
within 3300 miles, as all the rest of the world put to
gether. In the United States there were in operation
at that time, 10,843 miles; in the various countries of
Europe, 14,143. By the beginning of 1853, the com
pleted roads in tiffs country had increased to 13,000
nfiles, while European roods had grown to 16,000, mak
ing tlie difference at that time only 3,000 miles. There
was also, at I lie beginning of this year, I*2, G >0 miles in
process of construction in the United States; in all,
therefore, constructed and construcing, 25,000 miles.—
On the same authority, there is no exaggeration in say
ing, that before 1860, there will be in our country thir
ty-rive thousand miles of completed railway.
These facts indicate pretty rapid progress. They look
r.s if we were overdoing the business. There are vuir
ous considerations, however, that tend to diminish the
fear of any excess.
According to the commonly received notions, tlie new
ness of our country would make railroads less necessa
ry than in the tlii -kly settled districts of the Old World.
Hut there is a fallacy iu this. Experience is daily show
ing that iu the deep soils of the West, where produc
tiveness is exuberant, and transportation, by the depth
of the soil is rendered very diffieut, railroads become
the best labor saving machines of the farmer. In res
pect to one of their effects, namely that of rendering ac
cessible, and settling uew and interior districts, railroads
can operate in no foreign country as in ours. No one
needs them for this purpose so much as ours, or can be
benetitted in a manner a: all comparable.
It is the good fortimeof our Republic to be, in the arts
of practical life, as well as in political wisdom and expe
rience, “the heir of all ages.” Our prairies and inland
country are settling by the efficient operation of rail
roads; for these are the latest discovered, and prove to
uc the best means of accomplishing this object. In the
Old World it has already been accomplished by the im
pel feet me: hods of former times—tbe caravan, the mil -
tarv road, the ordinary highway, along whose route vil
lages and settlements have heretofore sprung up, just
a- they notv do along our railroads, only with a rapidi
ty, as compared with the growth of their towns, like
that of a camel to u steam engine.
_ Tlie large proportion in miles that the roads of the
United Slates bear to those of other countries will ap
pear less sti iking when it is considered that the cost
per mile of the former is but, little more than one fourth
that of foreign roads. Our roads average $34,Un) per
mile, others sl3o,*>oo per mile. The census reports
states that, including the roads now constructing, the
average cost of our railways will be reduced to $27,000
per mile, making the difference still greater; for there
I- no reason why foreign mads should be now construct
ed at a rate materially cheaper than formerly. Our
new roads, on the contrary, pass through level and un
e tied, or thinly settled agricultural districts, where
land is held at low rates—where few if any cultivated
grounds are cut through that are heavily expensive,
and where cuttings and embankments are com putative
ly untrequent
There is probably an exaggerated idea abroad as to
the capital now expended in these projects. The pub
lic, at any rate, seem to be mistaken as to the propor
tion this capital bears to the annual productions of the
country and to that employed in other expenditures of
acknowledged economy.
The twelve thousand miles and over now construct
ing will pass almost entirely through agricultural dis
tricts ; most of it is building in the Western and North*
western Slates. We may reckon these roads, then, as
so many agricultural tools. Now the capital invested
in them, estimated at s2o,o*’o per mile, is $240,000,000.
That investment in agricultural implements is stated at
sl.'o,*joo,<KHf. It would appear, then, that the capital
of all the roads now constructing is but little more ilian
sixty percent, increase on what is invested in the or
dinary implements of husbandly.
The agricultural products of the country amount to
about $1,500,000,1)00. Suppose the 12,**00 miles in con
s ruction should, as agricultural tools, inci ease the value
aud amount of these products equal to one per cent, ou
ibe value above given, this would amount to $15,0n0,-
000, equal to more than 6 per cent, ou $240,500,000, the
capital invested.
Again, suppose these 12,0n<) miles tostimulate a coun
try ten miles on each side, they would at Feet an area of
over acres. Supposing the road to increase
he value of laud equal to an average of one dollar an
acre, we have an addition ot over $153,000,000 to the
wealth of the country from this cause—over 60 per cent,
on the capital invested.
The cash value of turms in the country is stated tit a
little over $3,200,000,000. Again, suppose those 12,000
miles ol railroad to increase this value 3 per cent, they
add to it $250,00!,o00, thus wiping away the whole of
their cost aud more.
The whole annual import of wheat in Great Britain
during the past year was about 6,000,000 quarters, or
: v>o* 700 bushels. If we suppose one acre iu ninety of
the 153,000,000 rendered accessible by these roads, to
be rendered productive by them with an average yield
of thirty bushels to tbe acre, they would produce an
amount greater than the whole annual import of Great
Britain. Or to state it in another form, suppose a yield
to be induced equal to one-third ol a bushel to each acre,
the roads now constructing will add to our agricultural
products enough to supply the entire inports of Great
Britain.
There is a deficiency this year iu tlie wheat crop of
Great Britain, amounting to nearly 4,000,00 quarters.
It is calculated that she will have to import during the
coming year y. 500,000 quarters, and of these she relies
ou Canada and the United States for s,ooo,oooquarters,
or 40,000,000 bushels. The surplus wheat of Upper
Canada is estimated in late papers at 4,000,000 bushels.
Suppose the Canadas to furnish 6,000,<>00 bushels, th *ic
is left in the United States as their share 34,0**0,000.
Now, since the beginning of 1852, there have been
completed at least three thousand miles of railway,
which we may suppose to have stimulated a belt of laud
ten miles on each side, or an area of 33,4**0, 0**0 acres. —
The cultivation of one acre in thirty of this, or an aver
age production of one bushel to the acre, would supply
ail tlie mother country asks of us, and agood deal more.
It appears from data collected in England from the
best sources, that Great Britain, during the year IS4B,
; -42 and 1850, imported cereals, livestock and meats,
to the value of £75,000,000; an average of £25,000,000,
or $i25,*K)0,000 a year, paid to foreign countries for food.
Now, if over and above what was produci and before, we
suppose one acre of thirty of our 153,000,000 is stimula
ted to produce what is equivalent to thirty bushels of
wheat, we have added to our store of produce enough to
furnish the imported food of the entire United King
dom.
These effects, it is to be observed, will be brought
about by railroads, even though the stockholders should
not receive a cent from them. They are, moreover, ex
cltts ve of the impetus given to manufacturing, commer
cial and other interests.
Straw Paper.—Publishers who suffer from the scar
city and high price of paper, will be gratified that a
Fiench chemist, M. Millier, lias discovered a method of
making paper entirely from straw, which a daily con
temporary says, after a careful examination of speci
mens of various qualities, is as good as can be made of
rags. By a uew chemical process, the inventor reduces
the fibre of straw or other vegetable substance into pulp,
which is then finished as paper by the ordinary method*.
Rags are scarce, und as ihe demand for paper increases,
become dearer, but there is little danger of a short sup
ply of straw. To discover a way of using if for paper
Inis long been desiderated, but until M. Mellier, no seek
er bas found it out. It is said that his process is sim
ple and cheap, and that when he ceases to claim com

Several newspapers iu New England, are already
printed ujNin straw paper, which appears as if made
iremi linen stock It takes a tine impression, yet is hard
ly us smooth a surface as it should be. Doubtless that
prepared by M. Mellier is a much more perfect article.
\Ye copy the following from the New York National
Democrat. John Tyler could not have descended to
any thing more despicable, and if office under this ad
ministration can only beheld at the sacrifice of indepen
dence and principle, the office-holders must, as a class,
be regarded us disgraced in the eyes of all honorable
men:
“More Interference.—-Mr. Secretary Guthrie is
engaged in further interference in our elections, which
ought to make him blush for his own sake. He has de
spatched iments through this State, informing those
holding offices under the Government, that it they do
not voie for thefreesoil ticket they will be removed from
office. An agent of this description was recently defect
ed in Ogdensbnrgh, who was making a tour to all the
revenue offices on our Canadian frontier. What do the
dictators at Washington expect to gain by sending out
hired emissaries, paid with government money, into the
country to corrupt men to vote for the abolitionists ?
Where* they gain one vote, they will lose a dozen.
The Usreiiiß at London—lt will be recollected by
onr readers, that Martin Yau Buren, was lately an
nounced ns hating been appointed umpire, under the
Treaty wi h Great Bri'aiu, tor adjusting all claims be
tween ihe two countries, which have since accrued
smee His appointment wasjsoon officially, as it
were, contradicted. The umpire was in fact not to be
appointed by the administration. If was left to the
15 i.ird of Commit ioners to appoint for themselves.—
The Board consist of one Commissioner, to be appoint
ed by each government. On our part part, Mr. Upham
is the Coßiniiisioner with Mr. Thomas of New Y’otk as
advocate.
We now understand, that the Board has not appoint
ed Mr. Yan Buren at all—but that the choice has wi.-w*-
ly fallen on Mr. Joshua Bates of London, of the celebra
te i Banking House of Baring, Brollie s i. Cos. Mr.
Bates is a native of Boston, of very high character for
intelligence and integrity —of great commercial infor
mation—and this house is the great banking agent,
which transacts so much of the business of the State
Department, touching our Ministers abroad. We are
happy to understand, that Mr. Bates has accepted the
appointment -from a sincere desire to settle all these
controversies on the most just and impartial principles.

Listen to us while we explain the mo/ivt operand! ot

so surpassed our expectations as to do a business ex
ceeding that of any previous year. This has been ef
fected by purchasing an entirely NEW STOCK last
fall, and keeping up an assortment with re gu’ar sup
plies of’ seasonable goods which we were jus itied in
believing would command a ready sale in this market
And we are happy to say the experiment has been suc
cessful. We had no old Goods to begin with, and wt
have none now on hand, and to prevent such an unde
sirable state of things, we now propose to sell the acsi
dttc of our
SPRING AND SUMMER GOODS.
At Astonishingly Lent) Price*!
This offer is made, because we wish to make room
for an extensive supply of FALL AND WINTER
MERCHANDISE, new, rich, racy and elegant, and to
keep our shelves free of old, unseasonable or unfash
ionable goods, for all time jo come.

heretofore extended to us, we invite our friends to call
