with those Numbers on the Tickets printed on
separate slips of paper, are encircled with small
tin tubes and placed in one Wheel.
The first 457 Prizes, similarly printed and en
circled, are placed in another wheel.
The wheels are then revolved, and a number is
drawn from the wheel of Numbers, and at the same
time a Prize is drawn from the other wheel. The
Number and Prize drawn out are opened and ex
hibited to the audience, and registered by the Com
missiom rs; the Prize being placed against the
Number drawn. This operation is repeated until
all the Prizes are drawn out.
Approximation Prizes.—The two preceding and
the two succeeding Numbers to those drawing the
first 7 Prizes will be entitled to the 28 Approxima

draws the $70,000 Prize, those Tickets numbered
1124*, 11249, 11251, 11252, will each be entitled
to $400. If Ticket No. 550 draws the $30,000 prize,
those tickets numbered 548, 549, 551, 552 will
each be entitled to $300, and so on according to
the above scheme.
The 5,000 Prizes of $20 will be determined by
the last figure of the Number that draws the $70,-
000 Prize. For example, if the Number drawing
the $70,000 Prize ends with No. 1, then all the
Tickets, where the number ends in 1, will be en
titled to $20. If the Number ends with No. 2,
then all tho Tickets where the Number endsin2

The Little “Trundle-bed.
We have a fond little treasure,
Joyous and bright as the morn;
Loved without stmt or measure,
Ever since it was born;
’Tis a dear little girl, aud her "golden hair
Falls in ringlets bright, o’er her forehead fair.
And close by the side of our bed,
This precious little bundle,
Every night is liad
Snug iu her little ‘tnind e,”
Smiling so sweet, that it son.et.mes seems,
Good angels must talk to the child iu her dreams
And every night she comes.
Weary of frolic aud play;
Theu sottly her vesper hums.
And kneels by her bed to pray—
And then, as soon as her prayers are said,
She nestles right down in her trundle-bed.
The cloths are all folded neat.
In Winter, all snugly toeked in,
The “coverlet,’’ blanket and sheet,
Drawn under the darling’s chin;
Then all you can see is her baby-head,
As she sleeps for the night iu her trundie-bed.
And often we come to kneel,
Where our little treasure lies,
And prayers, such as parents feel,
We send up to the skies;
For we hear of death, aud we come to dread
The loss ofouf child from her trundle-bed.
We think—yes, often we think,
And what if the child should die?
The heart for a moment will sink,
And a tear-drop moisten the eye;
Fond hearts ate now bleeding, as others have bled,
While they gaze on a vacant, but dear little bed.
Affection hath reared her shrino
By the lowliest tbiugs of earth,
And the holiest feelings entwine
’Round the spot that gave us birth;
Thus we love the place where our baby sleeps,
And affection Iter uightiy vigil keeps.
’Tis a plain, old-fashioned thing,
That little baby bed,
Where love her offerings bring,
And angels lightly tread;
Yet a chord n ay be touched by the merest toy.
That shall deluge the heart with a tide of joy.
We love it, and wiio shall dara*
These holy feelings deride,
Like that precious “Old Arm Chair,”
And a thousand things beside;
So, whether our child be living or dead
A dear little thing is that trundle-bed.
manifest Destiny.
Before an American youth reaches his
majority, he becomes deeply impressed
with the supposed mission of his native
country, to subdue, and govern this Wes
tern Continent. Her past history, show
ing her rapid strides of progress, and the
surpassing glory of her onward march thus
far, and events continually transpiring
around him but deepen and strengthen
those impressions. And, indeed, the pro
gress of our country has been wonderful
in the extreme, surprizing to the world,
and not less to ourselves. We confess it is
next to impossible to review the past or
survey the present—or to contemplate our
geographical position and commercial rela
tions with the world, without, to some ex
tent, feeling that this great country has,
in the Providence of the Almighty, a most
important part to perform iu the future of
the world’s history.
Nine years ago, “The American Re
view'.” a monthly Magazine, devoted to
the advocacy of the principles of the Whig
party, speaking of the acquisitions con
sequent upon the war just before termin
ated, and of the importance of California,
says, “It is no ordinary position, that in
which these acquisitions have placed us.
It is a position of the deepest, world-wide
historical significance. It is so with
reference to the peculiar relations which
those new territories stand in to our nation
and to the rest of the world. It is so with
reference to all that constitutes the world’s
historical present, which, springing out of
all the past, contains within itself the
mighty, unevolved, undisclosed future.
Its significance is not so much in what we
actually see to-day, as in what we know
must come to pass, as the stream of the
world’s history goes broadening and deep
ening on the ages to come, Its significance
is in the fact that it contain the elements,
the principles, the forces of a new cen
tralization of the nations of the earth. It
is the beginning of a great American epoch
in the history of the world. Just as cer
tainly as there was a period when Asia
was, historically, the center of the world,
and subsequently when a period Europe
become so; just so certainly the acquisi
tion of these territories on the Pacific,
seems destined to make our country the
world’s historical centre. Over the twm
oceans that wash our eastern and our
western shores, Europe and Asia seem
destined to reach forth their arms, to meet
and shake hands with each other across
our continent. We do not say we can
predict with absolute certainty when and
how far this is to be; but w-e say that, in
the present condition of the world, its
civilization, its science, its arts, its com
merce, its means of communication—these
are the conditions, the forces, which have
to work but naturally forward in the direc
tion they are now working, and in all human
likelihood, this stupendous result must in
duetime come to be accomplished—a new-
historical centralization of the nafions, and
America the mediator between both sides
of the old world.”
After speaking of the extent of onr
country, the variety of its climates, and the
diversity of its productions, the writer pro-"’
ceeds—“The great lines of railroad-com
munication will be made, and the tele
graphic wires will be set up along the
track. This may be held for certain.—
And the accomplishment of this vast, yet
simple aud altogether outward and physi
cal result, is of profounder importance, and
must be so regarded by every one who
knows how to estimate events in their true
historical significence, than all the revolu-,
tions in the States of Europe, which have |
made the year 1843, a year of wonders in
the chronicles of the world.
“Its effect will not be limited to the
binding together, in a true national union,
the sides of our continent. It must work
a change in the w hole commercial relations
of the globe. The trade of China, and a
large portion of the Asia, must find its
ay across the western ocean to our paci
fic shores, building up great towns and cit
ies there, aud thence across the continent
to the Atlantic coast, there to meet the
trade of Europe coming over the Atlantic
on its western route. And thus for Europe
the old problem of a western passage to the
Indies will be solved, in a way that Co
lumbus never dreamed of, when he set out
to find it across the trackless, unknown
seas. Thus we see how the connection be
tween the Eastern and Western coasts of
our continent (which is certain, sooner or
later, to be accomplished,) mnst change
the commerce of the world.”
Every one who has mind enough to
grasp and comprehend the relations of this
country to the present and future of the
world, cannot avoid feeling, to some ex
tent, no matter how humble his birth or
how obscure his position, that he himself
must act a part in this great mission. It
may be prominent, or it may be a minor
part. Still, as a citizen, and as a sove-
simplest duties, he does act, and it is im
possible for him to measure or foresee the
influence of his act.
So far, it seems evident that our coun
try has been guided in its wonderful ca
reer by an over-ruling Providence. It is
unprecedented in the history of the nations.
The fear is that, we shall, as a nation, as-
crile our success to our own forecast and
prowess, and when we do this we shall
substitute might for right and do injustice
to neighboring nations. In the opinion of
many, this has been done already, and
events now transpiring would indicate that
might is already brandishing his sword in
the face of justice, threatening its extinc
tion. Properly restrained, the national
sentiment in reference to onr “Manifest
Destiny” will assist to elevate us still high
er in the Scale of nations; but if an un
hallowed ambition be its consequence, wo
may confidently expect a fearful recoil and
retribution. If, in the language already
quoted, we but let matters “work natural
ly forward in the direction they are now-
working,” we may expect our destiny tQ
be easily, clearly and triumphantly devel
oped by the same power which has devel
oped it thus far.
The Bride.—She stood beside the alter when she
was but sixteen. She wus in lore. Her destiny
rested on a creature as delicate, and who had
known as little of the worid as herself. She look
ed lovely as she pronounced the vow. Think of a
vow from auburn hair, eyes and pouting lips, ouiy
sixteen years old.
She stood by the wash-tab when her twenty-
fif-h birth cay arrived. The hair, the lips, the eyes
were not calculated to excite the heart. Five
cross young ones were about the house crying—
some breaking things, and one urging the neces
sity of the immediate supply of food. She stop
ped in despair and sat down, and tears trickled
down her once plump aud ruddy cheek. Alas!
Nancy, early marriages are not the dodge. Better
enjoy youth at ho^ne and hold lovers at a proper
d.stance until you lave muscle, limb antfheart
enough to face a frowning world and family. If a
chap really cares for you, he can wait for two or
three years, make presents, take you to concerts,
and so on until the time comes. Early marriages
aud early cabbages are tender productions.
Burr was one of the most generous of men, and
extremely fond of educating young people. Here
is a curious story in illustration:
“He was riding along in a curricle and pair,
one day. during bis senatorial term, when one of
his horses lost a shoe; and he sloped at the next
blacksmith’s to have it replaced. It was a lonely
country place, not far from Kingston, in Uister
Countv, New York. He strolled about while tho
blacksmith was at work, and, returning saw upon
the side of the stable nearby a charcoal drawing
of his own curricle and horses. The picture, which
must have been executed in a very few minutes,
wa< woi deriully accurate and spirited, and he stoi d
admiring it for some time.— Turning round, he
noticed a boy a little way off’ dressed in coarso
homespun.
“ ‘Who did that!’ inquired Burr, pointing to the
picture.
“ ‘I did it,’ said the boy.
“The astonished traveler entered into conversa.
tion with the lad, found him inteligent, thoue-h
ignorant, learned that he was bom in the neigh
borhood, had had no instruction in drawing, and
was engaged to work for the blacksmith six
months. Burr wrote a few words on a piece of
paper, and said as he wrote:
“ ‘My boy you are too smart a fellow to stay
here all your life. If ever you should want to
change yonr employment and seethe world, just
put a clean shirt into your pocket, go to New
Y'ork. and go straight to that address,’ handing the
boy the paper.
“He then mounted his cnrricle and was out of
sight in a moment. Several months passed away
and the circumstance had nearly faded from the
bus}’ senator’s recolection. As he was sitting at
breakfast one morning, at Ritcbmond Hill, a ser
vant put into his hand a small paper parcel, say
ing thatit was brongh by a boy who was waiting
outside.
“Burr opened the parcel, and found a coarse,
country-mado clean shirk Supposing it to be a
mistake, he ordered the boy to be shown in—Who
should enter but the Genius of the Roadside, who
placed in Burr’s hand the identical piece of paper
lie had given him. The lad was warmly welcom
ed. Burr took him into his family, educated him,
and procured him instruction in the art which
nature had indicated should be the occupation of
his lile-time. Afterward, Burr assisted him to
Europe where he spent five years in the study of
paiuting, and became an artist worthy of tho
name.
“While Burr himself was wandering in
Europe, Vanderlyn was exhibiting pictures in the
Louvre, at Paris, and receiving from Napoleon a
gold medal, besides compliments and "felicita
tions from the emperor’s own lips. Vanderlyn did
all he could for his benefactor in Paris; hut unhap
pily he had the successful artist's usual fortune-
poverty embittered by glory. He afterward had
commissions from Congress, and painted the well-
known Landing of Columbus for a panel in the
rotunda of the Capitol at Washington. He also
painted the portraits of Colouel Burr and Theo
dosia from which the engravings were taken by
which their lineaments are now known to the pub
lic. Vanderlyn died only five years ago at
Kingston, near the spot where ho drew the char
coal sketch which decided his career.
Interesting Account of an Almost Unknown
Country.
The San Francisco Herald, of the 5th ult, an
nounces the arrival in that city of Mr. P. McD. Col
lins, on his return from one of the most interest
ing expedtions of modern times, overland through
Northern (Russia, from St. Petersburg to tho
Amoor river. The journey occupied exactly one
yean
Twelve months ago Mr. Collius left St. Peters
burg, traveled from thence to Moscow, by railroad,
and from thence through Siberia iu sledges and
telegas, toChetah. the capital of the Trans-Baikal
province, situated on the river Ingodal, one of the
main sourset s of the Amoor, where he waited for
the breaking up of the ice in the river, and then,
accompanied by four Cossack soldiers, and by
Mr. Fuihejm, the Governor of the Russian Amer-
rican Company at Avan, proceeded down to tho
Amoor and along the river to thePacific.
From Mr. Colins we have obtained much inte-
esting information in regard to the vast, region
through which he traveled, and .about which so lit
tle is known. _ He speaks in the highest terms of
the Russian officials with whom he had intercourse.
Americans, are everywhere highly regarded by
the Rusians, and are always treated with every
courtesy and respect. The party of which Mj.
Colins "formed one were not molested by the No
madic tribes who inhabit a great portion of the
region through which they traveled They found
it necessary, however to be cautions in their in
tercourse with 'them. Duriug his journey, Mr.
Collins stopped for some time at Kvac.kta and
Miamattschiu.—These towns are located side by
side. The former is inhabited by the Russians,
and the latter by the Chinese. The boundry lines
of the two nations runs between. It is marked
only by a board fence. They are both walled and
fortfied. At this point all the legitimate trade of
the two countries is carried on
To Miamattschin the Chinese convey from tho
interior their teas and other goods on bullecks
and camels, and to Kyackta the Russians bring
their commodities, and in this way the exciiango
is made. The trade which centres at this point is
estimated to amount to over thirty millions of rou
bles per annum. While at Kyac-kta Mr. Collins es
sayed to enter the Chinese dominions, and proceed
to Pekin, which is about eight hundred and fifty
miles to the south. He joined an ambassador, sent
out by the Russian Government to treat with the
Emperor for the purchase of the country lying
along the Amoor ri ver.
The whole of this region according to a It -aty
made in the region of the Empress Catharine, be
longs to the Chinese- but the Russians are now in
possession of several portions of it. They are
w illing to acquire it by purchase; but if an over
ture to that effect is rejected, they are prepared to
take it. Neither the Russian Ambassador nor Mr.
Collins could obtain permission to proceed to
Pekin, and they were both obliged to return.
The Russians have greater facilities of obtaining
correct views in relation to matters in China, than
any other nation in the world. There is in Fekia
wliat is termed the Russian College. It is con
sists of ten missonaries of the Greek Church.
These ten missionaries remaind forteu years, and
arc then replaced by ten more. _
During tiie decade of their sojourn; they are not
premitted to fill any vacancies that may be caused
by death, or any other casualty. They are treated
in the Chinese capitul with respect, and are al
lowed a guard of honor. Through tiie agency of
the college, the Russian Government obtains reli
able information of everything that transpires at
the court of bis Celestial Majesty. After his un
successful attempt to penetrate through the Chi
nese territory to Pekin, Mr. Collins proceeded to
Cbetah situated at the beau waters of the Amoor
riysr.—The province, of which it is the capital, is
rich in mineral resourses. It is about as large as
California It abounds in mines of gold, silver
and copper. The gold is found in river beds and
gulches. There are no{quartz mines. The annnal
yield is estimated at five millions of rouble- The ,
iilver mines are very rich.
They are both worked by the convicts trans
ported to Siberia by the Russian Gevernment,
under the supervision of military officers. Private
parties are not premitted to take out the precious
metals in this section of the country. In ctner
places they are allowed to mine under certain
restrictions, and are obliged to pay the Govern
ment a certain per centage upon all they take ont.
We have received a great variety of interesting
information, particularly in a commercial point, of
view, from Mr. Collins, the publication of which
as we have already reached oar limit, we must de
fer till to-morrow.
