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.
