THE BAUDS.
IJY T. BUCHANAN KKAT).
When the sweet .lav in silence hath departed,
And twilight comes, with dewy, downcast eyes,
Xi-e elov. ing spirits of the mighty-hearted
Like stars around tao rise ;
it* whose voices pour an cn lie's measure,
i;*bau'le*s as the founts of glory are ;
ii til my trembling soul, o’orswept with pleasure,
Tiirubs i:’ a flooded star.
Old Hom.-r's song, i.i mighty undulations,
Comes surging, ceaseless, up the oblivious
main;
I hear the rivers from sueeeding nations
Go answering down again;
Hear Virgil's stream in changefuleurrcats -troll
ing,
And Tasso’s sweeping round through Pales
tine ;
And Dante's deep and solemn river rolling
Tbrongh groves of midnight pine.
I hear the iron Norseman’s numbers ringing
Through frozen Norway, like a herald s horn ;
And like a lark, hear glorious Chaucer singHg
Away in England's morn.
In Rhenish balls I hear the pilgrim lover
Weave his wild story to the wailing strings.
Till the young maiden’s eyes are brimming over,
Like the sweet cup she brings ;
And hoar from Scottish hills the souls uuqoiet,
Pouring iu torrents their perpetual lays.
As their impetuous mountain runnels riot,
In the long rainy days;
The world-wide Shakespeare —the imperial Spen
cer,
Whose shafts of song o'ertop the angels’ scats;
While d> licato, as from a silver censer,
Float the sweet dreams of Keats.
Nor th‘3o alone; for, though the growing pres

Westward the starry path of poesy lies ;
Jler glorious spirit, like the evening orescent,
Comes rounding up the skies.
1 see the beauty which her light impartest 1
1 hear the masters of our native song !
The gentle-hearted Allston, poet-artist!
And Dana, wild aud strong !
And lie whose soul, like angel-harps combining,
Anthemed the solemn “ Voices of the night !
1 see fair Xophiel’s radiant spirit shining,
Pale intellectual light !
An'l Bryant, in his mvn broad kingdom, mildly
Walking by streams, through woods and sum

And iron-handed Whittier, when he wildly
The fiery falchion wields !
These are the bards, who, like our forests, tower
Firm in their strength as are the mountain
trees ;

ADVANTAGES OF LIBRARIES, j
Libraries are of great public utility, and
productive of immense good. The age in i
which we live is peculiar. The general
diffusion of knowledge among all classes j
has overturned the whole order of things, ’
and gives promise of a more equitable so
cial condition in the future. Formerly,
honks were for the favored few, and were
locked in the cases of the rich and great.
The mechanic and the laborer pursued their
occupations without any intelligent com
puiirt.Xoii of them—as the beaver con
struct- his dwelling by instinct, or as the
ox dra.vs the plow, as he is driven by the
master. The very name of mechanic sound- ’
eJ plebeian, and grated harshly on aristo
cratic cars. But to-day it is no more so.
Mechanics may walk among princes, and
sit in the high places of power. Science
has glorified every occupation, and invest
ed with sublime dignity every trade. Every
mechanical occupation is now considered
honorable, because the laborer has carried
with him to his toil the light of science,
and the force of intellect. The carpenter,
tlie farmer, and all other workers, need,
therefore, more than ever before, the aid of
books. A library, extensive and cheap,
will be invaluable to any class for which
it may be designed. Its rooms will be a
favorite place of resort. Hundreds, ami
perhaps thousands, who now have no con
nection with any library, and no taste for
reading at all, will there acquire a relish
for intellectual pursuits, and become ambi
tious of obtaining those mental treasures,
which abide for ever.
A man who has the ability to read and
access to a well-selected library, has with
in his reach the sources of substantial hap
piness, and all necessary means of intellec
tual progress. For who so happy as he
who, through the proper use of hooks, has
stored his mind with rich thoughts, and
adorned it with beautiful conceptions ? He
may meet with reverses, the world may
frown upon him, and poverty and the hov
el may come to him in exchange for vast
wealth, and a splendid mansion, and friends
may forsake him in the dark hour of need ;
hut with books as his companion? he can
not feel solitary or miserable, or weak.
Book? give him freedom. strength, oom
panionship. They speak, and the ancient
sepulchers heave, the tomb of the past
opens, and the wise and the great and good
of all times come forth and speak to hint
words of love, sympathy and hope. They
visit him in his solitude, and sit with him
at his fire-side. Homer, Milton, Dante,
! and Shakspeare, arc here, and envelope
him in a golden drapery of song—the sftge
| and the philosophers are there, with their
i celestial precepts, and lofty wisdom ; and
j the seers, and prophets and apostles, with
their revelations of nature, the soul, and
| God. What a glorious companionship is
, his!
The ancient Egyptians, impelled bygrat
’ dude, adored as a god, the Nile, that great
river, which, flowing down from the un
known depths of I.ybia, deposited upon
iheir thirsty soil the beauty and fertility of
a hundred lands. Hut how much more
ought we to prize books, which bringdown
i to us from remote times the wisdom and
virtue, and beauty of an hundred ages.
They bind the past to the present, and to
all the future, so that through them the
mighty tide of universal being is forever
rushing pastor whirling around us, leaving
with us whatever we have the desire toap
: propriatc to ourselves, of wisdom, of vir
tue of goodness. —Gazelle of the Union.
| SINGING AT AN EVENING PARTY.
The process of singing a song at an cvc
, ning party may thus be described : —The
1 young lady, on being led to the piano, first
throws a timid glance round the room, os
i tensibly to evince a gentle confusion, in
! reality, to see who is looking at her. She
then observes to the mistress of the house
‘•that she is not in very good voice, having
a slight cold,” which she confirms by a
faint sound, something between a sigh, a
smile, and a single-knock-cough. The
i hostess replies, ‘ Oh, but you always sing
so delightfully.” The young lady an
swers, “that she is certain she cannot
; this evening ;” to strengthen which opin
i ion, she makes some young gentleman ex
! ceedingly joyous by giving him her boquet
■ to hold ; and, drawing off her gloves in die
j most approved style, tucks them behind
! one of the candlesticks, together with her
! flimsy handkerchief, in such a fashion, that
its deep laced border or embroidered name
may be seen to the best advantage. The
1 top of the piano, which had been opened
1 for the quadrilles, is then shut down by an
i active gentleman, who pinches his finger
in the attempt; the musicians form a se
ries of dissolving views, and disappear, no
knows where, nor ever will: and the
young lady takes Iter place at the piano,
j and, as she plays the chords of the key she
is about to luxuriate in, every body is not
perfectly silent, so she finds the music-;
stool is too high, or too low, or something
of tlie kind, and the pedals appear exceed
ingly difficult to be found. At length, ev
erything being still, she plays the sympho
ny again, and then smiling at the hostess,
and saying, “that she is certain that she
shall break down,” brings out the opening
note of the recitative which makes the
drops of the chandelier vibrate again, and
silences a couple who are whispering all
sorts of soft nothings on a cameu.se in the
back drawing room. —Natural History of
Evening Parties.
I’ROFLIGATE LITERATURE.
A profligate literature destroys itself and
the community that patronize it. Let lit
erature be sold into bondage to immorality,
and its days are thenceforward numbered,
as well by the very nature of the human j
mind, as by the laws of the divine govern- j
ment. Genius, when grinding likea blind
Samson in the prison-house of vice, ulti- j
mately perishes in its task, and leaves no ’
heir. It may not so seem at first. A deli- j
cious frenzy may seem to call forth fresh j
eloquence and harmony, and every Muse,j
disolute and shameless, may wave aloft j
the thyrus of a mad Bacchante. Science 1
and art and wit and eloquence have thus
aided in the erection of chriues to immor
tality ;. but they have languished and died in
their toils. A profligate people soon ceases !
to he intelligent, and their literature loses
all living power, all ability to perpetuate
itself. The literature of the dead past is
soon all that remains to a vicious commu
nity. And when the proudest monument
of unprincipled talent and perverted genius
lias been completed, and stood perfect in
! beauty, its last chapter carved and fixed,
j its topmast pinnacle glittering on high, its
last statue polished and flitted to its ap
i pointed niche, the nation may have exult
’ ed in the splendor of their immortal poet
-Iry and eloquence and art. But that na
tion, even in the hour of its triumph,
i stands before its trophies, bereft of the tal
ents that had aided in its work, desolate
and lone, like him who reared from its
; ruins the city of palm-trees, the fated city
over which hung the old but unslumbering
curse of Heaven, llis children fell as the
walls of his new foundation rose; and he
stood at last in the home he had reared a
solitary man, with none to inherit his la
bors. “ For Hiel the Oethclite in those
1 days built Jericho. He laid the founda
i tion thereof in Abraham, his first-born, and
set up the gates thereof in his youngest son
Scgub.” Literature, slays its children
when building under God’s curse. Talent
prostituted in the cause of vice pines amid
its successes and dies: and an imbruted
community, it is generally seen, by a just
; retribution of Providence, soon buries in
oblivion the literature that has corrupted
and barberize 1 it. — IF. R. Williams, D.D.

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE
George VV. Kendall is about publishing
a history of the late war with Mexico. It
will soon be out, and is described as an
elaborate work, to be embellished with nu-!
merous illustrations, executed by Paris ar
tists, from drawings taken in Mexico. Tlie
editor of the Lowell Courier in noticing
ifliEiainji® vassal ©&aai^i a
the forthcoming work, relates the follow
ing interesting incident connected with Mr.
Kendall’s departure from Mexico, some
thing more than a year since :
“When he was taken prisoner, years
ago, during the Santa Fe expedition, he
was marched with others to the Capital,
and thrown into one of the gloomy prisons
of the city. During the solitary hours of
his confinement, a beautiful Mexican lady,
who had heard of him, often went to his
prison window, and threw into his cell
beautiful boquets of flowers. She would
sit before his grate for hours, day after
day, and sing to him the sweetest airs and
lays of her native land. Upon his final re
lease and return home, he sent to Senora
Lopez, for such was the name of his guar
dian angel, a splendid present. Upon his
second visit to the Capital with (fen. Scott,
he took charge of her son, and brought
him to the United Stales, to educate and
to rear him. As he was leaving the city
the Senora threw a magnificent gold chain
over his neck, and rushed away, too much
overcome to take leave of her boy. The
Senora is the most accomplished singer in
Mexico, and altogether one of the mos
beautiful women we have ever seen in the
Capital.”
LOVE LAUGHS AT EVERYTHING.
It may be set down as a fixed fact that
if a young couple want to get married,
nothing can prevent the accomplishment of
their wishes, especially if they have a cute
lawyer friend to assist them. The Cincin
nati Nonpareil relates a case in point of a
sturdy youth from the counlry, with his
sweetheart, a blooming lass, who present
ed themselves at the Clerk's office to pro
cure the necessary passport to enter the
stateof double-blessedness. The girl being
under 18, and not having evidence to prove
that she had received the consent of her
widowed mother, the license could not be
granted. Thus all their lively hopes were
crushed; their joyous expectations disap
pointed. They were nonplussed, and stood
in mute despair, until their sorrow touched
the feelings of all present. Even the im
passive heart of a lawyer was moved, and
his brains at once set to work to remove
the obstacle. He proposed to the young
lady to choose a guardian from among
those present. With a blushing diffidence
scanned the apartment, until her eyes fell
upon a nice-looking young man, who was
forthwith appointed to the responsible of
fice. She then humbly implored bis consent,
which was graciously granted. The doc
ument was secured, and after many thanks
to the lawyer and kind-hearted guardian,
they departed joyfully, soon to realise the
raptures of long-cherished affeclion.

A “BAD OYSTER” STORY.
Scene —Aii Oyster Cellar.
Enter Frenchman. “Sair, you keep de
raw oyslair?”
Opener. “Oh, yes, sir! fine, fat Prince's
Bay.”
Frenchman. “Ties bien, I vill eat
some raw oys-tair.”
The mar. opens a fine fat one and puts it
on a plate before the Frenchman, who eyes
it some time, and says :
“ Monsieur, you call dis do good oys
tair?”
“Yes, sir, prime.”
The Frenchman swallows it, (it was the
first he ever ate,) opens his mouth, puts
his hand to his bread basket and “ 3-1-u-p!”
and up comes the “oyslair” on the plate.
“Sucre darn ! by gar. dat is not dc good
oys-tair.”
“ You didn’t put on salt and pepper, sir.”
“Ah ! pardonnez moi ? ” Puts pepper
end salt on the same one. Swallows it—
and “ Blu-u-u-p”—up it comes again.
“ How you tell to me zat oys-tair bien ?”
“ Why, sir, you must vinegar.”
“Ah ! oui! ccrtainment’ he-ne-gar! oui!
and he swallows the same again. “Blu-u
----u-ff!” and up it comes again on the plate.
Just then a gent enters.
“Give us a dozen o’ raw.”
The Frenchman turns to him. “Ah my
fren, you eats ze raw oys-tair ?”
“Os course.”
“ You call zat ze good oys-tair?”
“ Yes, fine, fat one.”
“ Ila! you tmk dat isgood oys-tair, sup
pose you eat him !”
“With pleasure, sir!” and the gent gave
j it a dart of pepper-sauce and bolted it. .
The horrified opener stood agape; he
didn’t mind “sawing” a Frenchman, but
an old customer was another thing.
The Frenchman turned on his heel.—
| Ah ! my fren, zat may be ze good oys-tair,
Ino like him. 1 swallowed zat oys-tair
tree time.”
“ Blu-u-u-ph” came the oyster, and the
Frenchman danced with delight.
“Ah! Monsieur! zat dam bad oys-tair!
oyi, eertainment!”
The gent, speechless with horror, ran to
the bar and seizing the brandy decantar,
swallowed about half a pint and mizzled.
The Frenchman followed, saying:

THE WAY TO WILMINGTON.
Not long since, a steamboat traveller
was on his way from Charleston to Wil
mington, and the boat rounded in at Smith
ville landing, North Carolina. It was late
at night, and nothing was distinguishable
but a boy waving a torch at some distance
from the boat. Now, as boys can’t stand
on waves when they want to wave torches,
there were many on board the boat shrewd
enough to know that there must be land
somewhere in the vicinity. On the strength
of this conviction, one of the passengers,
anxious and cautious as to the progress of
his journey, called out to the hoy with the
torch —
“Hallo!”
“ Hey!” replied the boy, with juvenile
shrillness.
“ What place is this ?”
“ North Carolina !” sung out the boy.
This answer provoked a great laugh, nat
urally enough, among the passengers, and
a dozen other voices commenced putting
! loud questions to the boy.
“ What’s your name ?” roared one who
had lung-strength enough to drown all the
rest.
“ Sam Stow,” shouted the boy.
“Where do you live?” bellowed the
questioner, still louder.
“ North Carolina!” was once more- the
answer, followed by a peal of laughter
from the boat, and a sympathetic din and
and splash of the paddles.
When a partial silence ensued, the sten
torian cross-examiner was heard again:
“ What part of North Carolina ?”
“ Why, jest up there, where Miss Essy
Butts used to live !”
This reply created more boisterous fun
than took place before. At length another
question was put, just as the boat was
nearing the spot where the boy stood —
“ Which is the way to Wilmington?”
Tlie boy paused an instant, and then
threw every body into convulsions by an
swering—
“ Why, the other way!”
Such an informant is not always met
with on a dark night in North Carolina.
Politeness. —Rev. Mr. had trav
elled far to preach to a congregation at
patiently, evidently expecting someone of
nis brethren to invite him to dinner. In
this he was disappointed. One after an
other departed, until the house was al
most as empty as the minister’s stomach.
Summoning resolution. how r ever, he walk
ed up to an elderly-looking gentleman, and
gravely said —
‘* Will you go home to dinner with me
to-day, brother ?”
“Where do you live ?”
“About twenty miles from this, sir.”
“No,” said the man, coloring; “but
you must go with me.”
“ Thank you—l will cheerfully.”
After that time the minister was no more
troubled about his dinner.
A Doctor’s Affidavit. —A highway
man named Bollard, confined in Newgate,
sent to know how he could defer his trial,
! t and was answered, by getting the doctor to
! make affidavit of his illness. This was
i accordingly done in the following manner :
“The deponent verily believes, that if
i the said John Bollard is obliged to’ stand
his trial, at the ensuing session, he will be
in iminent danger of his life.’ 1
To which the learned judge, on the
| bench, replied, “that he believed so too!”
Don't Jumi>. —Never jump from a third
story window when there is any other
means of escape.
Never jump at conclusions.
Never jump at a poor chance.
Try to avoid jumping out of the frying
pan into the fire.
Never jump off the dock because you are
!in debt, or in love. You will get wet if
j you do.
Never jump after a ferry-boat when it is
more than half-way across the river.
Never jump at a flash of lightening—it’s
of little use.
The American Flag. —When our flag
was unfurled from its staff in Tampico, an
aged Spaniard was heard inveighing, with
lugubrious earnestness, against the perti
nacity with which that flag had pursued
his fortunes. In broken Fnglish, he ex
claimed—
“l was de Spanish council in de Louisi
ana, when dat flag he was raise, and 1 go
to Pensacola, but soon that flag he was
over me dere. I live then in de Texas, but
dat flag follow me dere. Says I, 1 1 go
where dat flag never come I come to
Tampico, but here is dat flag again. 1 be
live if I go to de devil dat same flag will
follow me dere.”
And the old man wept as he turned away
his eyes from that flag, which, like his evil
genius, had haunted him through life, and
was now mocking his heartfelt misery.
If a man will reap “ whatsoever he
sowetli,” what a harvest of coats and
‘ireeches the tailor will have, one of these
days!
Snoring.—“My uncle 1’ was an
awful snorer. He could be heard furlher
than a blacksmith’s forge, but my aunt be
came so accustomed to it that it soothed
her repose. They were a very domestic
couple, and never slept apart for many
years. At length my uncle was required
to attend a court, at some hundred miles
distant. The first night after his departure
my aunt never slept a wink : she missed
the snoring. The second night passed
away in the same manner, without sleep.
She was getting into a very bad way, and
would possibly have died had it not been
for the ingenuity of a servant girl; she
took the coffee mill into my aunt’s chamber,
and ground her to sleep at once.”

BEING anew and much enlarged series of the

weekly Journal, South of the Potomac, devoted
to Literature and the Arts in general—and de
signed for the Family Circle.
The Proprietor begs leave to Announce that,
on Saturday, the sth of May, he issued tho first
number, for the second year, of this popular and
l well established paper.—the name and form of
( which he has changed, to enlarge the scope of its
1 observation, and to otherwise increase its attrac
tions.
Less exclusively devoted, than heretofore, to
Literature, the Arts, and Sciences.
it will be tho aim of its Proprietor to make it,
in every respect,
A CHOICE FAMILY NEWSPAPER,
“a- cheap ns the cheapest, and as good as tho
liest!” utterly discarding tho notion that a
Southern journal cannot compete with the North
ern weeklies, in cheapness and interest,
KICHARDS’ WEEKLY GAZETTE
shall be equal, in m chanieal execution, to any
of them, and, in the variety, freshness and value
of its contents, second to none. Its field will be
the world, ami it will contain, in its ample folds
Every Species of Popular Information,
Especial attention will be paid to the subject of
SCHOLASTIC AND DOMESTIC EDUCATION.
Numerous articles, original and solicted, from
the best sources, will be published weekly, on
AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE,
and these departments, as, indeed, all others, will
be frequently
Illustrated with H ood Cuts!
Every number will contain careful and copious
summaries of the latest
FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC NEWS’
in Commercial, Civil, Political, and Ecclesiasti
cal Affairs. At the same time, there .-hall be
nothing in its columns that can be considered ei

The literary and moral tone of Richards’
Gazette are both of a high order, and we are not
acquainted with a weekly journal in any part of
the country which habitually imparts more val
uable information on all those subjects which
hallow the hearth stone of home.— National hi

and ability displayed iu his columns.—iV. Y.

order, and one who knows how to get up a good
paper. Success, we say, to it and him.— Boston

i This fine literary journal, printed at Athens.
Ga .isnow issued in folio form, and makes an
elegant appearance. The last number came
brimful of good things ; and, indeed, every issue
bears evidence that the editor spares no pains to
make a first class paper. ifour Southern friends
do not sustain him, it must he because their vis
ion is telescopic, and can detect no excellence un
less it shines from afar.— Yankee Blade.
Mr. Richards deserves snoews, for his enter
prise and perseverance and this, as a Family
Newspaper. will, without doubt, in its moral
tone, be immeasurably abovo the catch-penny af
fairs from Northern cities.— Cherokee Advocate.
It is a beautifully printed sheet, ably managed,
and contains part first of the prize story, for
which the propietor paid Jifty dollars, ’i'liis sto
