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 nothing invi; i, g to an agriculturist. The timber ** isfge, and stands very thick until tiear the mountain. *hereit become very scrubby. In cutting our names 11 1**0 trees uear the snow line, we found the bark on the spruce fuiiy an inch iu thickness “ 1. le in the low lan is U **redy one-fourth as thick. ” * have only to add that we are fully satisfied with l, lr tr >p, and are willing hereafter to let others explore •“Obtains, while we will devote our time to matters less labor, and fraught with more of the com ~ris of life than we have experienced in this trip to *°P of Mount St. Helens. hies trie ant. —A Connecticut minister having walked x village church yard, and observed tne indis nunate praises bestowed upon the dead, wrote upon ‘*’* f*' e 'po*t the following line: Here lie the dead, and here the living lie #eorgift Journal nuft illcsscuacr, Correspondence of the X. Y. Tribunt., Exciting Sport. 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.

MATH Lit, “Canal Commissioner. ’’ l-ff~ The Capitol of the State of Teuuessee, now neai completion, is .-..off to be one ot the finest buildings in the world. Its cost is a million of dollars, it is boil’ of solid lime-stone,taken flout near the billon which it stands. The roof is of Teuuessee copper, aud the Speak er's stand of marble quarried iu that State. The Knickerbocker relates the following charac teristic anecdote of Torn Mat shall: “When Pilcher was haranguing about “his father having been a poor man,” “his father was a cooper,’’ and more of that sort of thing, Marshall said he would admit the gentleman’s father was a poor man ; perhaps he had been a cooper, but if he was, (pointing to Pil cher,) he had put a mighty poor head to one of his whiskey barrels:” 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 pensation as patented for its use, it was thought theprice oi’pa[H.*r must fall very considerably. 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.
