ODE FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY.
Tm«, "lift Ihtm an their winding way."
From *11 our sunny home* to day,
From distant verge of farthest bay,
From craggy jieek* that brush lha sky i
Are echoing songs at Liberty.
And bark l e’en now from off the teas
The m lor*a hymn cornea on the broese j
Hia native mountain* know the aound r
They chant the lay to valleys round,
And louder, Inuder peal the notca,
And hifberup the anthem float*.
How many viaiona of the pnat.
To day are flitting thick and fast;
Ix>ok out on yonder leniy woods—
Again the rrd man swims the floods r
Hi* savage whoop is heard once more
On rocky cliff and so Jgy shore, •
And wpnry with hi* dog and gun
He track* the deer from sun tu sun j
Hi* frail canoe glide* o'er the stmama,
And brightur now his watch-fire gleams.
They come, they come, that pilgrim band,
On Plymouth's ico-bound coast they land j
Thoir midnight cry brood* no die air.
And sorrows mingles with their prayer.
Press on, press on. yo pioneers,
*Tls Ffreedom's hand your light bsrk steers;
The spark that in the Mayflower came
Is kindling nnw into a flame,
And ransomed millions raise the shout,
While patriot blood is pouring out.
O 'tl* a glorious sight to soo
Our nation's standard flying free f
That gallant flag this mom unfurled
Italian and stripes o’er all the world.
And many a deck with rapture rings,
As round the mast that banner clings.
God of our fathen J shield it well,
Till yon blue waves ahaU oease to awrll;
Till earth's tali sentries capped with snow,
Shall crumblo in the vales below.

THE LAST WISH.
The celebrated Wu.sun, tho ornithologist, re
quested that ho might be buried noar some sunny
■pot, where the bird* would come and sing over his
gnve. This wish is most beautifully expressed in
tbo fallowing lines. The name of tho author is un
known to us t
In some wild forest shade,
Under some spreading onk, or waving pine,
Or old elm, festooned with tho gadding vine,
Let mo bo laid.
In till* dim, lonely grot,
No foot, intrusive, will disturb my dust t
But o'er me, songs of tho wild birds shall burst
» Choering the spot.
Not amid charnel stones
On coffins dark, and thick with ancient mould.
With tattered pall, and fringe of cankered gold,
May rest my bone*.
But let the dewy rose,
Tho snow-drop and the violet, lend perfume,
Abovo the spot, where in my grassy tomb,
I take repose.
Year after year
WitWh the lUvor birch tree o'er me hung,
Tho chirping wren shall rear her callow young,
Shall build her dwelling near.
And ever at the purple dawning of the day
Too lark shall chant a pealing eopg above,
And tho ebrttl quail, when the eve grows dim and
Shall pipe
Su k er tynm °f low.
. , ,, *b® blackbird and tho thniab,
And golden oriole, shall flirt around.
And waken, with a mellow gust of sound,
The foroat'a solemn hush.
Birds from tho distant sea
Skafl sometimes hither flock, on snowy wings,
And soar above my dust in airy rings,
Singing a dirge to me.
LiaiLtuoa.—The Northampton Courier ha*
the following mingling of truth#,—truths, in fact,
of things that sun not true :—
• Ttcenlyfite couple wore released from their mi-
trim-wial engagements at tbe recant session of the
Connecticut Legislature. The Hertfoid Courier
thinks this Is not a “drop in tbe bucket" compared
with tbe'Marriagea in the mean time. Speaking
of Divorces, a man in England ones offered to pay
the National Debt of Great Britain, if the Govern-
meat would author iso hire to divorao such people as
wished it, allowing him to receive $5,00 for each
operation. We should liko no better fortune than
to be allowed to receive $1,00 foroaeb couple di

THE VICTORIA MANIA—OR A DAY IN
PHILADELPHIA.
I lately left my nutivo town in tho country with
tlto intention • fspending a day in Philadelphia, and
for tlmt purpose, I took tho steamer Robert- Mor
ris, nt Wilmington. When I lunded ut Dock-
funded ut Duck-
street wharf, 1 funded I wus In some city in tho
English dominions. The moment I l.anded on terra
firma, l espied u largo placard- posted on a wall at
the corn v of n street; it run as follows: *• The
splendid painting of Her Mqjesty, Queen Victoria,
still continues open nt the Masonic Hall " I walk-
cd a little further, when I stepped opposite a fi.*h-
iotutblo bather’s shop—ut tho window, among othor
art ides, was a variety of hair brushes, witn a por
trait of *■ her most grud.uis majesty" on them. I
wns very much surprised to see this, but on turning
tho corner, I noticed tho words, ‘‘Her Majesty
Queen Victoria," in very prominent characters, and
found out that it wo# u recommendation of some
tooth powder, because she patronized it. I entflfr
ed the Exchange—tho first thing I saw wa* a bust
of lu-r Major ty standing on iho that, tl op: geo f
walked out, und doubted in my own mind whether
the day* of old had not returned, and wo were yet
bowing beneath the seej.tro of England. I strolled
up Chesnut-sticet—saw ut un auction some Yankee
clock* Ibr sale, with a Victoria portrait for ntt or
nament, I stopped nt a perfumer's to purchase
•intnetliing in hi*lhio—saw soma " Queen Victoria
snap, composed expressly for the coronation." Af
ter having made it few purchases, l crossed tho
street, und, ut u hut st-re, in Bank place, saw anmo
"Victoria riding huts,” und an engraving nf *‘ Her
Majesty,” mounted on a white charger, airing her
sell', in Windsor J’nrk, nn Friday, September 8,

loved her lord"—said that hu was her “ own dear
husband, whether white or blnck, red or yellow—
that she would live with, die with, nnd go to

satisfied the gentlemen, and they left i first advising
her ‘‘gude mm" to leave tho place. The Indy's

opposite a dry goods store where “ Victoria luce,"
•‘ \ irtoiiu muslin,’ and •* Vu-tot-iagloves," were for
sale: continued my walk, und saw u great crowd
opposite u b-tuu-t store—thought somebody was
hurt—asked whnt the ntnt.fr was, and found thut
the true " Victoria shnpo” was to be seen there.- I
vyullu-d on und met n man with n tray on his hq-td,

V 1 was fending u transparency, standing or» '
tin-pavomcnr, s .mctliing wu* thrust itt my faro,
n id u cry- lit tho sumo time announced. “ Buy a
Ledger, Genius Times,” nnd something else; I got
the two first. On • netting thn Ledger, the latent
news From Eng and was, “the Queen wus in per
fect health." In the Genius thero was a notice of
un tnd woman who Mild ‘‘Victoria bean soup." I
hnd now walked a mile. Crossing Tenth street, I
saw u muslin transparency with “Sul ey's Victorlt
— last day," painted on it. I stopped to lookriqjo
n music store. There was the •* Victoria .grand
itturcli. thn " Victoria quadrilles." dec.&c. When
I hud feustod my eyes on tho ninny fine ornamental
insti'uinoiits of music, dec, 1 h- urd a mournful
noise; tmning round, a poor ragged u chin wished
mo to purchase u paper of pi.$. I Hi J so and put
them in my pocket, having first noticed that they
were patronized by ‘‘ her Majesty Queen Victoria/'
I could hear this no longer; I went down into an
oyster cellar, gut something to cat and walked as
fust us 1 could to the wlmrf; there wa# no boat to
go until the next day, so I had to go to tho “ Buhl*
more," f rinerly •'Victoria House," where I went
In bed nnd fell into nu uneasy slumber. At day-
light, I got up nnd went down to the whnrf, und
got on board tho stenmhoat n* well as I could.
Saw n ftno brig with tho English ensign flying.
"What is hor nunm ?" said I; ‘‘0,"aaid a littlo
boy. “ that s the Victoria." I turned my head
nway, and saw a man coming up to me with a very
mysterious nir; ho commenced telling mo that he
was u poor man, who wus obliged to sell a few
trifles, na ho was palsied, and could not wofk.
“Well, what have you got?" said I. Ho had a
l-ttlo basket with him, whielt ho opened, and drew
out n puff of " Quern Victoria's Family Pills;"
this capped the climax of Victurias. I got a box
out of pure compnss on, and they, like most other
pills, turned out to be it mere shave. The tim#
drew near to start, the last bell rung, the huwsera
were taken in, and I took my leave of Philadelphia
—but think that the nameofVtctorra-delphis should
