[Tlie following magnificent poem, from the
Louisville Journal, deserves publication wherov-
ar the English language is read. It Is a master
piece:] *
Said one whose temples shone like frosts upon the
aotnmn plain,
Where only withered stalks, to tell of summir’i
pride, remain:
“Many and many a year ha* flown, my locks with
time are white—
Locks that around my infant brow bnng like the
plnmea of Night—
This -ear Is doll, this arm la weak, these eyes with
age are dim.
That heard the roar, that strove, that gaxed upon the
carnage grim.
I warn a youth, I loved my gnn, a sword, the book a
that tell
Of plains Where war’s hot, crashing bolts on frantic
thousands fell;
It was upon those fearful days, when o’er the far
frontier.
The death-whoop at the dead of night smote on the
settler's ear;
To father, mother, sister, friend, we spabe the low
farewell—
With nodding plome and jarring drum down many
a savage dell.
O'er rock and plain and roaring stream, by sunlight
and by star.
To meet the lurking foe in fight, we wandrred long
and tar.
While foremost in our daring band. In manly bloom
rode on,
Bold Braddock. and the stately form of brave yonng
Washington;
Till on a time, one balmy morn, within the ringing
Jnne,
While woods pnt on their richest hues, brooks sang
their blithest tone.
Where bine Monongabela shone tbrongb banks of
pleasant green, ,
We stood and saw liis smile leap nil the clasping
boughs between;
It was a lonely spot and wild, where never white
man's tread
Bad come to scare the browsing deer, or crash the
violet's head.
But where, as down the verdant wilds, the river slid
and foamed.
The Beaver reared his mimic town, the Bear and
Otter roamed.
And all the sounds that stirred the gloom, were but
the Panther’s bowl.
The clamor of the wheeling Crow, or sob of hooded
Owl.
I said within my soldier's heart, that it were well to
lie
In such a spot, so still and green, when o'er my
swimming eye,
Amidst the roar and crack of gnna, by scalping
knile or ball,
Tlie winter of the grave siionld come that ever
comes on all.
Down by tlie river's marge we toiled, through all the
Summer uay.
Then turned into the neighboring hills, a steep and
rocky way
Onr step was free, onr thoughts were light, as step
and thought should be.
Of those who for their homes and wives, march on
to victory,
And,dreaming, seethe conflict o'er, and through
the war cloud dnn.
Bear bunting round the fierco hnzxa, which says
the day is won!
lint sometimes o’er onr wnrrior pride, a ghastly
glimpse would come.
Of limbs gnawed by tho snarling wolf, aod of tlie
lonely home.
And darkling on tlie soul a dull bine lip would whis
per well.
How death might Inrk in summer leaves, and from
the mossy dell
The ltifle launch its bloody hail, and roai the savage
Farther and farther on wc toiled, with cannon, blade
and plume.
Till round na like a mighty wing, bang tlie old for
est gloom;
The wood-flowers gave a pleasant smell, the wind
went tangbing by.
Wo heard its footfall on the boughs betwixt ns and
the sky.
Huge glistening pines and beeches wove an eiion
dome of shade.
Through which the sun, in fiery globes, and golden
isleta played
Upon the leaves, the doll dead leaves that crackled
to our tread—
That crackle shot across my sonl a shudder and a
dread.
My heart grew sick, a viewless hand seemed on my
shoulder laid,
That held me back until I grew of leaf and breeze
afraid:
whisper came that ran and moaned through all
that lealy place.
And said I never, nevermore should see ray moth
er'a face!
Up through a lonesome dell we wound, where smooth
green mosses o’er
The twisted roots and rough brown stonea had
Luznriaut o’er the bruaifliHLidi] the knotted laurel
grew, _
And sharp, grey rocks against the limbs their wrink-
lea brows upthrew;
And now a stillness came that seemed the very
winds to fill.
No innnnnr trembled in the dell, no whisper on tho
bill, J ,
The silence tiugled on our ears, it was so deep and
still;
And nothing told h->w lurking round, all burning
for the fray.
Eight bnndred painted savages with leveled rifles
lay.
Till flashing from a caverned rock, on leaf and blade
and plume,
A solitary musket flash lit np the woody gloom;
Anil he who next before me walked with one tre
mendous leap.
Sank down upon the hollow atones in the unwaking
We started bent our eager gaze along the bordering
shade.
Where'er tlie matted vines a hold for eouchant foe
bad made;
A moment—and from rock and air and earth there
burst a yell.
Such as the gnashing fiends may ring from the red
iaws of hell—
roar as when in earthquake's lips a mountain
splits and sways.
And - oceans leap their rocky bourne, and cities crash
and blaze.
We stood like meu, and &torm for storm back on tbe
foe returned.
Till ono red hissing wail of fire the reeling vulley
burned.
And down as roars the trampling hail npon the ten
der grain.
So rushed npon our startling band that murderous
battle rain.
And madly back, through storm for storm, our bul
lets smote like rain.
They dashed amidat a viewleaa foe, as harmlessly
and vain.
Girt in by death, with quivering hearts, yet unsub
dued and brave, , ,
Wc stood, recoiled, rushed ou and wheeled, each o er
From rock aiid K brake, and blasted trunk, behind,
aside, before* . .
The havoc rnahed. the deluge blazed and boiled the
savage roar; ,
Our friends, our toes, woods, earth, end sky. grew a
tremendous one.
That reeked in gore and rocked In flame, and round
us yawned and spun : , .
There seized our sinking hearts of life, one wild and
lurid thought, , ....
So fierce, tyranuir, and intense, we knew not that
Nor hiT-dcJfiiongh at every step wo stumbled o’er
the slain, ,, v .
How long our weeping wives and babes would look
for ns in vain.
We saw our end. we knew onr doom, we felt as men
whose last , „
Of mortal days and griefs and joys swseps by them
tothepast; ,
Earth rocked beneath ourlcet; her flowers, her
mountains and her skies, -
Her summer green and autumn pomp went mocking
from our eyes.
On lifted sword aud gun and limb, with dull and
shivering sound.
I heard the whistling bnliets crash, and from the
beeches bound.
Down sank my brother at my side, sank with a
mighty groan.
That smote my ear above the battle's drowning
moan.
O nesven.it was a sight to freeze! most murder-
To see°i n*troops, P fike i helpless beasts, ooe’s comrades

And through their snmless agonies on God and Jo

From gaping breast and shattered brow to see the
hot blood spooling,
Aud the sonl take wing amidst the din, the carnage,
and ths shouting!
And now, as still in redder wrath the roaring temp-
ezl foil.
We broke, we flew, and left onr slain within that
bloody dell!
Then rose a y*H that rocked the hills, and as we for-

There do the dear little violets grow;

Under the hawthorn in soft mossy beds.

Down here do the dear little violets lie;
Hiding their heads whcro they scarce in-iv be seen.
By the leaves you may know where the violets hath

Pale is thy forehead, and puler thy cheek ; •
Weak was thy infancy, still then art week :
Fragile of body and feeble of limb—
But thine eyas'in the spring-dew of fantasy swim.
Deep in the cells of thy spirit -ire wrought
Exquisite textures of feeding and thought;
Forth from the depths of thy seuaitivo heart,
Tears to thine eyelids will-bubbld nud start.

I'iic Stntisfics of Sherry.
Then wc drove back to the high road, and

nowhere; it was an accidental quality discov
ered by tasting. It had an almoudy, dry, bit
ter flavor, which rendered it of rare value to
mix; .because I must clearly understand (aud
it was only fair to tell me) that English sher
ry was a chemical compound, made, like a
French side-dish, of many ingredients, and of
various ages and quulitics of wines. In Xcrcs
there were five hundred thousand arrobas of
wine—thirty of which went to a bota (butt)
—made annually. This made tbirty-four thou
sand butts, nine thousand of which were of
first quality. Sherry is too strong and too
dear for Spaniards, and too feverish for the
climate. The best is, in Xcrcs, a dollar a bot
tle. Tbe best in the bodega is worth from
fifty to eighty guineas a butt; and, after in
surance, freight, and salcehurgcs, it stands
the importer in from one rmndred to one hun
dred and thirty guineas before it Teaches the
cellar (say) in BelgraveSquare. “How many
gallons to thc butt, Don Sanchez ?” “About
one hundred and twelve. This will bottle in
to nbont fifty tvvo dozen, and the duty is five
shillings and sixpeuce the gallon. So you
may form your own opinion abont cheap Lon
don sherries, which are, generally, very ‘cu
rious’ indeed—mere doctor’s draughts, in fact,
made up according to certain swindling pre
scriptions.”
Here was a blow for my old friend Binns,
who opens a bottle of forty-eight shilling sher
ry'with the air of an antiquary unswathing a
mummy 1’haroab. Thought I, thc next time
the deluded man points to the oily stickiness
of his glass. I will leap up, seize him, and say,
in a hollow voice : “Binns, you arc tbe victim
of a life-long delusion; that stuff yon drink,-
you think is the juice of the Spanish grapes,
plucked by meu plaviug guitars and smoking
cigars; you call it, iu poetical moments, bot
tled sunlight, snufire, and so on; bab ! (after
the mannes of Napoleon) it is only a cheuiicul
compound made up of drags aud infusions,
like Daffy’s “elixir or James’s powder. It 5*
cooked up with boiled, tre-icley wine and bran
dy. It is a compound mixed front a dozen bar
rels, and made to order for a particular mar
ket. If the vines of Xercs grew till they got
black in tbe face, Binns, they could not yield
wine like your forty-eight shilling sherry."
Tbe Dou laughed, and said that certainly tbe
sherry wine district was very small; uot more
than twenty miles square. Therefore, it could
no yield honest wine enough even for half
London. The sherry grape grew only on
certain low, chalky hills, where tho earth, be
ing light-colored, is' not so much burnt—did
not chap and split so mnch by the son, as dark
er and heavier soils do. A mile beyond these
bills the grapes deteriorate. The older thc
plants the better; but the fewer the grapes.—

$100,000 to Yale College. It is estimated tliat
the Callage will roc-siv# about $700,000.
I couldn't stand 'the thought What! fake
copper watcli home as a present to my wife!—
to thc mother of my children ! I just took the
thing bv the chain, ami sin - 1 —
"bee here : do you supjiose I’ll fake such a
watch home to my wife! No, sir. Now, if
you don’t give me back my money. I'll fake it
$25,900.
Wc ltave thc pleasure to state that $25,000
for the month Of December, lias been paid into
thc State Treasurer from thc- State Road. $20,000
of thc bonds which constitute the debt of the
Road, contracted some years since, were due
1st inst, together with some three or four
thousand dollars of coupons. We are gratified
to learn that in addition to the monthly pay
ment, thc offican of the Road have on hand,
in cash, a sum sufficient to pay this inst ilment
of the bonded debt. It teas necessary to reserve
a fund to meet this debt or thc monthly pay
ments lor October, Nov. mber, and De -ember,
would have exceeded $25,000 per month.—
