Thou Hast Woven ihe Spell.
BY G&OBGK P MORRIS.
Thou hast woven the spoil that hath bound me,
Through all the sad changes es years ;
And the smiles that I wore when I found thee,
Have foded and melted in tears!
Like the poor, wounded fawn from the mountain.
That seeks out the clear silver tide,
I have lingered in vain at the fountain
Os hope—with a shaft in my side!
Thou bast taught me that Love’s rosv fetters
A pang from the thorns may impart;
That the coinage of vows and of leiteis.
Come not from the mint of the heart.
Like the four bird that flutters her pinion,
And warbles iu bondage her strain,
I have struggled m flv thy dominion,
But find that the struggle is vain !

Graceful Valedictory.
From the lon ian Ti/rue <>/ March, 12.
Last night the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress
entertained Mr. Buchanan, the American Minister,
and a select party at dinner in the Egyptian hall of
the Mansion House, as a mark of re°pect and consider
ation on the occasion of his leaving England as the
representative of the United State* to return to his na
tive country.
On the removal of the cloth the usual loyal and pa
triotic toasts were dtutik.
The Lord Mayor then said he had among his visi
ters that evening a distinguished gentleman and an
illustrious statesman, the Minister of the United Htutes.
[Cheers.] That gentleman was about to leave this
country, his successor to this Court having been ap
pointed, and being daily expected to arrive among us.
He should have felt it a great reflection on his mayor
alty and a manifest dereliction of duty if he had omitted
such an opportunity of showing that mark of respect
to the Minister of the United States which he had it in
his power to bestow as the Chief Magistrate of the city
of London. At all times the citizens of London had
received, and he Irusted ever would receive, with more
than ordinal v pleasure the representative of the great
translantic Republican in this country; and it was in
that sense, and also because he was about to return to j
his native land, that Mr. Buchanan was peculiarly wel- j
come to partake of his hospitality. [Cheers.] He !
knew that he would carry with him the best wishes ol j
the people of this country for his happiness aud pros
perity in his own land, and he hoped he would return
there with no other than a kindly and abiding recollec
tion of the great people among whom he hud been so
long resident. He gave them “ the health of Mr. Buch
anan.” [Loud cheers,]
Mr. Buchanan responded to this compliment as i
follows:
Mr Loud Mayor, Ladies, and Gentlemen ; I re- !
ceive with profound and grateful feelings this testimo- j
nial from the present company of the regard in which :
they hold my couutry, for I do not attribute it to my- j
self. I can say, however, in all truth and sincerity, .
that I shall ever preserve a grateful memory of the kind- .
ness which I have invariably received in England. I [
have yet to meet the first English gentleman who has j
not treated me as it 1 had been a countryman of his
own. [Cheers.] I sav nothing of the ladies, hecause ,
I ought not to speak of them, although they are ihe
fairest part of creation.
I shall carry home with me every sort of grateful j
feeling towards the people of this country, among I
whom I have never felt myself a stranger. Speaking
the same language, having read the same books having
had intercourse with a kiudred free people, I have al
ways spoken my sentiments freely and respectfully in
every society in which 1 have been. I have invariably
found that an English gentleman treated me kindly,
and if we differed in opinion we have had a fan
argument, and we have always parted in peace and
friendship.
With regard to the two countries, what a dreadful
misfortune it would be to the whole human race if they
should ever again be involved in war! How it would
injure and throw back the cause of civiliation and hu
man liberty! How it would delight the despots of
the earth to And those two nations destroying them
selves, aud in that way destroying every hoped progress
to mankind ! [Cheers.] I hold it that there can be uo
political slavery where the English language is the
language of the country. [Renewed cheers.] It is
impossiple; and, so far from there beiug any jealousy,
so tar from its being proper that there should be any
jealously iu either country as to the houest and fair
extension of the frontiers of either, it ought to be con
sidered a blessing to. maukind that they should have
the opportunity of extending their freedom and liberal
institutions over all the unsettled parts of the earth.
[Cheers.]
I atn sorry to say that, with all these feelings and
sentiments, from the first separation of the two corn,
tries there has anfortuuately always been a group of
unsettled questions. There is a cloud now impending
over their relations; but I trust in God aud I oelieve
that cloud will be 9peedily dissipated, and that the sun
shine of peace and friendship will become more and
more bright between the two countries, until ail the
dissension which ever existed between them shall have
passed away, and shall ouly live in history as a record
of the folly of two peoples who could for a moment
suppose it possible to engage in a fratricidal war. [Loud
cheers.]
I thank you again for the cordial manner in which
you have responded to the proposal of my health, aud
1 beg to assure you that I shall ever regard my resi
dence in England as one of the bright periods of my
life. [Cheers.]
Several appropriate civic and other toasts were pro
posed from the Chair and responded to in the coarse
of the evening. Mr. Buchan ,*n, in a facetious aud
complimentary speech, gave “ The Ladies,” aud the
company separated between 10 and 11 o’clock.
No Gloom at Home.
Above all things there should be no gloom in the
home. The shadows of dark discontent and wasting
fretlnlness should never cross the threshold, throwing
their large black shapes, like funeral pails, over the
happy young spirits gathered there. If you will vour
home shall be heaven and every inmate un augei there.
If you will vou shall sit ou a throne and be the presid
ing household deity. O? faithful wife, what privileges,
what treasures, greater or purer than thine I
And let the husband strive to fojgel his cares as he
winds around the long narrow street and beholds the
soft light illumining his lit tie parlor, spreading its
precious beams on the red pave before it. The night is
cold and cheerless perhaps, and the December gust
battles with the worn skirts of his old overcoat, aud
snatches, with a rude hand and wailing cry, at the
rusty hat that has served him many a year. He has
been harassed, perplexed, persecuted. He has borne
with many a cruel tone, many a cold word, and nervtd
himself up to an energy so desperate that his frame and
spirits at e weaktned find depressed; and now hi* limbs
ache with weariness , his temples throb with the pain
beat caused by a too constant application ; he scarcely
knows how to meet his wife with a pleasant smile or
sit down cheerfully to their little meal which she has
provided with so much care.
But the door is opened, the overcoat thrown hastily
off A sweet voice falls upon his ear, and the tones
are so soft and glad that hope, like winged angels, flies
right into his bosom and nestles against his heart.
The latch is iifted, and the smilling lace of his wife
gives au earnest welcome. The shiniDg hair is smoothed
over her fair brow ; indeed she stole a little dbquetlish
glance at the mirror hanging in its narrow frame just
to see if she looked neat and pretty before she came
out. Her eye beams with love, her dress is tasteful—
and—what? Why! he forgets all the trials of that
long, long day as he folds her iu his aims and imprints
a kiss upon her brow.
A home where gloom is bauished, presided over bv
one w ho has learned to rule herself and her household
Christianity!—oh! he is thrice consoled for all his tri
als. He cannot be unhappy; that sweetest, best,
dearest solace is his—a cheerful home. Do you won
der that the man is strengthened anew for to.morrow’s
cares ?
Things Two Hundred Years Hence.
Scene. —Parlor in the House of an elderly gent in
New Y’ork. Old gent telegraphs te the kitchen, and
waiter ascends in a balloon.
Old Gent. —John fly over to South America, and
tell Mr. Johnson that I will be happy to have him
sap with me. Never mind your coat, uow go.
John leaves, and al the end of tive minutes, returns.
John. —Mr. Johnsou says he will coiqe; he has goi
to go to the North l’oie for a mouieut, and than he
wilt be here.
Old Gent. —Very well, John. Now start the ma
chine for setting the table, and telegraph to’my wile’s
room, aud tell her that Mr Johnson, coming, then
brush up my balloon, for I have au engagement iu
! London, at twelve o'clock.
John flies off to execute his orders, and the old gen
j tlemuu runs over to the West Indies for a morneut, to
I get u fresh orange.
Business and Literary Pursuits. —According to
the following story, related by Rogers, the banker pout,
it appears that he was of opiuien that busiuess and
literature might be advantageously combined;
Madame de rftael oue day said to me, “ How sorry I
am for Campbell! his poverty so unsettle* his mind,
tha he cannot write.” I replied, “Why does he not
take the situa*tiou of clerk’: he could then compose
verses dunngbis leisure hours.” This answer was
rec koned ve y cruel both by Madauie de StaeL and
Mackintosh ; but there was really kindners us well as
truth in it. When literature is the sole business of life
it becomes adi ugery , when we are able to resort to
it only at certain hours, it is a charming -relaxation.
In my earlier years I was a banker’s clerk, obliged to
beat the desk every day from ten till five oclock;
and I never shall forget” the delight with wfii. h on
returning home, 1 used to read and write during the
aveuing.

not to trouble those pies again ?” Hopeful Son.—’ i

VOLUME XXXIV.—NO. 2.
The I nhappy Kopiy.
“I do not ibnk it * seitiih act if I occupy the wh. le
seat mvscli; as I am to travel al! this long day,” said I
? o a lady nearest me, as I took the out-of-tbe-way-ei and
-/at in the cars at Buffalo for Albany one sultry mei a
tag.
” Certainly not,” was the reply, ass put my sba* I,
oks, papers, tan, bouquet, Ac., in the en* end at.a
nestled myself down iu the other. I soon wearied of
conversation and reading, and had sunk into a titfiil
-lumber, n hea a geutte tup on my shoulder aud a
‘please miss” made ms wake with a sudden start.
The car was filled to ovet flowing, and a newlv-ar
nved party had entered, and a pale little woman, wi'h
a ireiitil baoy in her arms, s’i>od ask'ng permission ‘0
si boa.de uie. With more of pity than of pleasure, i
jtb.ned my seat with her, yet I ’sp..ke but few word t,
a ;d sulkily forebore taking the restless little create#
to ease her j>oor wearied units ; but i merely Smoot ti
ed its yellow hair and its pale baby checks, and sa 1
Mary wus a pood and stveet name.
For niv own comfort ( had opened the window th. t
l might more distinctly catch those picturesque view s
that tinted by so rapidly that they seemed like grow
ing pictures without one imoetleciion to mar, w hen m/
attention was drawn to my companion, who was inces
sautly coughing.
“ 1 do w tan you would let down that window.” sai t
she; ‘‘that coal smoke makes mv cough so much
worse ”
I am ashamed to confess if new, but I felt the angry
blood burn in my check and a flash of the eyes as 1 re
plied :
“I am quite sick, and wearied, and troubled, and
hungry, and thirstr, and crowded, and here you con*.t
as an intruder and keep from me the mite of cool ai.*
that I was trying to get. Do you think you ire doing
as you would be done by V” sant 1, tartily ; and with
out waiting fora reply, I lose and was letting down
the window with an angrv crash, as a naughty child
w uiiid slam a door to shut i’, when she laid her poor
wasted little hand on my arm and said :
“Oh, don’t do it then !” and burst into tears, and
leaned her head down on her baby and wept bitterly.
The woman in mv heart was touched, but, putting
on the injured air of a martyr. I compressed my lips,
aud took up a paper pretending to read. Pretty soon
my eyes grew dimmed, f could not see without brush
ing the tears often, ands resolved to ask pardon tor
mv unkiudness, but minute after minute glided away,
aud we soon reached her place of destination, and she
rose to leave. I rose too, aud the words were ou my
lips, when a gentleman came to assist her out.
She turned her geutle, tearful eyes upon me wi:h a
j sad expression, and bowed so sweetly that my hand
1 was almost upraised for the forgivness, the words were
just dropping from my lips, but she was gono.
It was too late ; and I, a woman with a woman’s
heart, was left with that stinging wrong done yet stiek
ing in it, and the sweet words and wasted little hand
that could remove it were gone from me forerer. I
| sank back in my seat and also wept bitterly.
The gentleman returned from assisting her, and as
j the car was full lie occupied the place she had vacated,
i I inquired who the lady and he replied :
“ Her home is in Wisconsin, and she has now re
i turned to the home of her childhood to. The whole
j family of brothers and sisters hared died of consuiap
! tion, and she was the last’oue left, and is fast going toe,’’
Oh! 1 turned away sick at heart, aud tried to shut
■ out from mv remembrance that pallid appealing face,
as I resolved and re-resolved never again in this poor
life of mine to speak au unkind word to a stranger.
—
; The Way Dennis McCann Proposed to satis
fy Widow Johnson.
! A son of the Emerald Isle, whom we shall call Den
nis McCann, had long absented himself Irom the con
fessional, but a few days since he appeared before the
Priest and confessed to sundry tiansgressions. But
the Priest was not satisfied, and something like the fol
lowing dialogue passed between them :
Priest—“ Mow Dennis, I fear you have not confessed
all, so you had better not keep anything hack, but
make a clean bivast of it, and tell ma all. Como, out
with :t.”
Dennis—“ Well, then, ver worship, if I must be after
tollin’ye all übout it, I sthole the Widder Johnson's
pig—an’ that’s a fact, yer worship.”
Priest—“ That’s a mighty sin, Dennis, and you must
make satisfaction to the widow.”
Dennis—“An please yer worship, I don't know him
at all—an that’s a fact, i don’t.” %
I'iiest —“Make restitution, satisfy the widow John
son.”
•‘Dennis —“An faith I don’t know hint; its mesilf
that don’t know him a bit, now, and that’s true what
I’m telliu’ ye, yer worship ”
Priest—“ Make her recompense; par for the pig,
Dennis; pay Mrs. Johnson tor the pig.”
Dennis—“Oeb ! bv me sow), an is it that you mane
ho •? Sure, I can't do it, for I’ve ate him, and I have
not a hap’orih for me-dlf and the childer; o what’ll
be the tbioubie about it, yOr Riverence, if I don’t pay
her S”
Prest—“Vou will be before the judgment, Dennis —
1 ahull be there, too. to accuse you—the widow Johu
son will also be there.’’
Dennis—“An’ what will I do * will the pig be there
too ’ ’
Priest—“ Yes Dennis, the pig will be there surely.”
Dennis—“Och, murther! what will I do thin, yer
worship ? Faix, anti I hare it, yer Reverence. I’ll
give her up the pig thin aa there, yer worship, an’ so 1
will, an’ troth that sam’il be alter satisfying her iu
tiiely.”
Emigration to Kansas.
The pioneer party of the seasou from the North
passed through Albany last week. They were from
Springfield, (Mass.) and numbered only about twenty
persons, it being deemed too early fora larger number
to go forward. The next and a much larger company
will start ou the ‘2sth, and weakly instalments will fof
low. Those who have gone forward are said to be
sturdy, intelligent, enterprising young men.
A large party is to start itt a few days from New
Haven, iC'onu.) The company first to leave consist*
;of about forty persons. The majority of the men
are described as being under thirty-tire years of age,
the flower of the community to which they belong, of
good character, Ac. The association is expected to
consist of some three huudred members. The occupa
tions of the different members who were present at a
meeting last weak are as follows: eighteen farmers,
three wagon makers, two teachers, three surveyors,
one physician, lour joiners, one cabinet maker, three
sawyers, one machinist, one milJ-wiight, seventeen
wives, and thirty-nine children.
A company consisting of one hundred able-bodied
men is to start front Exeter, (N. H.) the first of April,
to settle.upou a location selected by their agents wear
Topeka, where there is an übunduuce of wood, coal,
go; >d water, Ac.
The prospect uow is that the emigration to Kansu*
this spring will be very forge. It the movements
North and South be continued with energy for a few
months to come the territory will soon have the nine
ty-three thousand required by the bill just reported in
the Senate to constitute a State. — Nat. Intelligencer.
Grasses.—Compared with other orops, very little
has been written or said in relation to the gross
crop. We know not their number or names, but
that among those indigenous to our soils, there may
be those far better than our herds-gras3, red-top, or
clover. In England there are two hundred and fifteen
varieties well known, named aud cultivated. With
us a dozen varieties, perhaps, would exhaust our
list’; and yet some think there is no mote room for
investigation and lor more accurate knowledge of
things around us; that hard-work is better and
more profitable than seeking alter new thing* by
hard work. Who knows but that in eur fields,
or on the wayside, trampled on and despised of men,
or perhaps ail uukown, there is an unobtrusive plant,
springing up, blossoming and struggling from year to
year for notice and for a firmer hold, but as often
sought and eagerly fed off by the gazing animal,
who only knows how to appreciate it* Like the
potato, as large as walnuts in its native state, or
the peach, bitter and dry add offensive, or the pear,
with its hard, woody flesh, or the apple tree, with
its thorns, so this humble plant may want the fos
tering care of man to outvie the beautiful purple
bloom of the herds, grass heads, or the crimson of
the gracefully tasselled red-top, yield in nutritive
mutter more than either @f these or the richest clovers.
As Ixtkrestisg Fox Hcnt. —Mr. Fillmore, accord
ing to late foreign advices, had gone to As:a. Ths
committee sent from New York to urge bis acceptance
of the nomination will probably have some difficulty
in finding him. Previous advices reported him to be
