r.T Tilr. LATE WILLIS GAY I.OKI) CLASH.
SoitWB. yet bcAHtiful to view.
Month of my he*rt! Thou diwnest here,-
With sad and faded leave* to *trew
The summer's melancholy bier.
The moaning of thy winds 1 hear,
As the red sunset dies afar,
And bars .f purple cloud* appear,
Obscuring every western star.
Tltou solemn tnoctb ! I hear tliy voice —
It tells iny soul of other days,
When but to lire was to rejoice—
When earth was lovely to tny gaie ?
Oh, visions bright—oh. bletssd hours.
Where are their living raptures now?
I ask my spirits wearied powers ;
I ask my pale aud fevered brow !
I look to nature and behold
My life's dim emblem's rustling round,
In hues of crimson and of gold—
The year’s dead honor* on the ground:
And sighing with the winds. I feel.
While their low pinions murmur by,
How much their sweeping tones reveal
Of life and human destiny.
When Spring’s delightful moments shone,
They came in zephyrs from the west,
They bore the wood lark's taelting tone,
They stirred the blue lake’s glassy breast;
Through summer fainting in the heat,
They lingered in the forest shope;
But changed and strengthened now, they boat
In storm, o'er mountain glen an. glade.
How like those transports of tbs breast.
When life is fresh and joy is nev,
Sofias the halcyon's nest.
And transient ns they all are tree !
They stir the leaves in titat bright month.
Which about her forehead twines, •
Till Griers hot sighs around it breathe—
Then Pleasure's lip its smiles resigns.
Alas 'or Time, and Death, and Care,
What gloom about our way they ding!
Like clouds in Autumn's gusty air.
The burial pageant of the Spring
The dreams that each successive year
Seamed bathed in lines ofbrigbter pride.
At last like withered leaves appear,
Aud sleep In darkness side by side.
’TIS SWEET.
’Tis sweet to grasp a friendly hand,
And feel its thrill sincere.
And know that life h is nut a strand'
To wreck it from us here;
And when the world grows chili and cold.
And sorrow wields its sling,
Oil! then, 'tis sweet to claim a fold,
Beneath a friendly wing.
'Tis sweet to view the early mom.
Tipped with its rosy die.
Ascend—of night's Nstctmain shorn.
To gild the quiet sky:
While each njurning star, one by one,
Flies off to other worlds,
To hide their blushes from the sun.
That now his light nnfurls.
Tis sweet to view at even fide.
Upon the moon lit sea.
The vessel swift and smoothly glide.
With streamers proud and free :
While all within is calm and neat.
And love and smiles go round.
And music wings the twinkling feet,
And we arc homeward bound.
From the Hroadway Journal.
SLANDER.
A whisper woke the air—
A soft light tone and low.
Yet barbed with shame and woo:
Now, might it only perisli there!
Nor farther go.
Ah. me! a quick and eager car.
Caught up the lirtle meaning sound !
Another voice has breathed it clear.
And so it wanJers round.
From ear to lip—from lip to ear—
Until it reached a gentle heart.
And that—broke her heart.
It was the only heart it found!
The only heart'twas meant to find.
When first its accents woko.
It reached that tender heart at last,
And that—it broke.
Low as it sooinrd to other cars.
It came—« thunder-crash to hers—
That fragile girl so fair and gay—
That guileless girl so pure and true!
'Tis said,a lovely hummingbird
That in a fragrant lily lay.
And dreamed the summer tnorn away,
Was killed by but the gun s report,
Some idle boy bad fired in sport!
The very sound ■ a death blow came !
And thus hor happy hoart, that heat.
With love and hope, so fast and sweet,
(Shrined in its lily too—
For who the mo'd that knew
Butowr.ed the delicate flower like grace
Ofher young form and face 7)
When first ihit word
Her light heart heard,
It fluttered like the frightened bird,
Then shut its wings and sighed.
And, with a silent shudder—died !

PAINTING FOR THE ROTUNDA.
Mr. W. C. Bryant, in a letter front Paris to
the Evening Post, inakos the following notice
of Vanderlyn’s painting for the Rotunda, at
Washington : ‘‘Since my arrival, I have seen
the picture which Vandcrlyn is painting for the
Rotunda, at Washington. It represents the
landing of Columbus on the shores of the Netv
World. The discoverer, accompanied by Ins
lieutenant, and others, is represented as taking
possession of the newly-found country. Some
of the crew at e seen scrambling for what they
in agine to be gold dust in the sands of the
shore, and at a little distance, among the trees
are the naked natives, in attitudes of wonder
and worship. The grouping is happy, the ex
pression and action ski'fully varied—the color
ing, so far as I could judge in the present 6tate
oflhe picture, agreeable. It will prove I think,
u meritorious picture. ‘Eight or ten weeks’ hard
work,” said the artist, ‘will complete it.’ It is
Vanderlyn’s intention to finish it, and take it to
the United States in the course of the Autumn.”
Thf. Ruling Passion.—The mother of
Rothschild, the wealthy banker, now in her 9Ttli
year, had recently a violent attack of illness ;
when she recovered she remarked to her friends
about her—“ No, no, my friends, I am not go

A HEROINE.
THE WIFE OF LAFAYETTE.
The faithful and devoted wife of Gen Lafay
ette was a daughter of the illustrious house of
Noailles. She was married at the early age
of seventeen, and scarcely had the honey moon
glided happily away, when her youthful hus
band left her side to fight for American inde
pendence. During his absence, Madame La
fayette ruled her household and numerous es
tates with wisdom and prudence far beyond
her years. At length, the husband whom she
loved so dearly, and of whom she was so
justly fond, returned, covered with glory, to
lay his laurals at her feet. Some few happy
days were spent together, and then the storm
cloud of the French revolution broke over their
heads. Her husband was soon driven into ex
ile ; but it was thought that Madame Lafayette,
living quietly and in great retirement on her
estate in Auverguo, ran no danger. But her
love of liberty, her high rank, her talents, made
her an object of suspicion. She was arrestod
onthelOtli of August, and soon after sent to
Paris. Her mother, grandmother and sisier-
in-Iaw, all perished on the same scaffold. Ma
dame de Lafayette, herself, was in daily ex
pectation of death. She ma le her will, and
waited calmly and resolutely for the summons
to the guillotine. The revolution of the 0th
Thennhfor preceded, by five days, that ap
pointed for her execution. As soon as she
was liberated, she sent her only son, then in
his childhood, to the care of Gen. Washington,
after whom he had been named ; and then has
tened with her two daughters to find her un
fortunate husband—then languishing in an Aus
trian prison. She reached Vienna by means
of an American passport, obtained an audience
of the Emperor, and solicited either the release
ol her lmsbanJ, or permission to share his cap
tivity.
“As to the release of Gen. Lafayette,” re
plied the Empeior, “ it is a very complicated
piece of business ; on that point, my hands are
tied.”
Madams Lafayette joyfully embraced . the
alternative—that of sharing her husbanJ’s
gloomy prison. Sixteen months’ close im
prisonment in France, the loss of all her kin
dred, and her continual anxiety respecting her
husband, had combined to affect her health,
which declined so rapidly in her damp pri
son of Olmutz, that serious apprehensions were
entertained for her life. Feeling the impor-
the proper way would bo to talk over the sub-
ject together in the morning.
Ono of the brothers leaned back and tapped
slightly on a side door; it opened, and a priest,
with ins noiseless, cat-like tread, entered tbe
circle.
“Here is a priest,” said the brothers.
There was a short interval ofscilence, when
Signor — made a slight movement to
wards the door. Two daggers instantly gleam
ed before him—that the three years of court
ship were going to amount to something after
all—and so yielded with as good a grace ns
possible, and the nuptials weto performed. lie

earnest solicitation, she wrote to the Emperor
for Ins permission to spend a week in Vienna
for n change of air, and for the purpose of con
sulting a physician. Her letter remained two
months unanswered ; and then came an impe
rial mandate, forbidding her ever to appear in
Vienna, but offering her freedom, on condition
that she would never seek to return to her
husband’s prison. Madame do Lafayette’s no
ble and touching answer to this inhuman pro
position, fortunately fi>r prosperity, remains
on record. It was as follows :
“1 owed it lo my family and friends, to
make some efforts for the preservation of tny
life ; but they know me too well to suppose
for an instant, that I would accept it at such a
price. I cannot forget that when we were on
the point of perishing, my husband, by his physi
cal and mental sufferings in Austria, and I, by
the tyranny uf Robespierre, in France, was
not allowed to receive any communication from
him, nor to inform him in return that his wife
and children were still in existence, I will nev
er, of my own free will, expose myself to the
agony of a separation from him again. How
ever unsuitable this residence may be to
my daughter, and however unfavorable to
my health, we will gladly avail ourselves
of his Imperial Majesty's goodness in allowing
us to remain here, and will never trouble him
with an/ more petitions.”
From that time Madame t’o Lafayette made
no further efferts. but bore her sufferings firm-
ly and patiently until the vicloriesof the French
Republic, and especially those of General Bo
naparte, changed the aspect of affeirs. Gen.
Lafayette was restored to freedom, and with
his devoted wife returned to his native counlry,
and fixed his residence at LaGrange—the ma-
tern'il inheritance of his wife—an estate situa
ted about twelve- leagues from Paris. Here
Madame do Lafayetle spent the remainder of
her short life in the bosom of her family, and in
every Christian virtue. But the poisoned ar
row of grief and anxiety had drank her life
blood, and aficr many lingoring monihs of suf
fering, this humble Christian, this affectionate
mother and heroic wife, closed her pure and
exemplary life, on the 24th December, 1S06.—
Posteriiy has covered the name of General La
fayette with glory ; but surely the patient en
durance, the self-sacrificing devotion of hi? no
ble wife, deserve an equal meed of praise.
ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.
There is quite a little romance connected
with a building in Genoa. It was formerly
erected and owned by a wealthy map, who was
in the habit of visiting a beautiful peasant girl
in the neighborhood. Pleased with his atten
tion, she cast off, as ladies are very apt to do,
the rustic lover she had before encouraged.—
But although her new admirer was frequent
and steady in his habits, he never mentioned
the subject of matrimony.
Tilings went on in this way .for three years,
till one night the gentleman was startled, as
he was about leaving the house, by the abrupt
enterance ofthr two brothers of the inamora
ta, demanding that he should immediately mar
ry their sister. They told him that he had
visited her for three years, thus keeping away
other suitors, and destroying all hopes ot their
sister’s marriage, except with him ; three years
was quite long enough for him io make up his
mind in, and as he had not done it, they had
concluded to do it for him.
This was bringing things to a focus lie had
not anticipated. Fora man of wealth and sta
tion to marry a poor peasant girl merely be
cause he condescended to be smitten by her
beauty, was something more than a joke; yet
he saw at a glance that there was more ment
by these brothers’ speech than met the ear—in
short, that his choice was to be a marriage or j
a stilletto through his heart. This was reduc
ing things to the simplest terms ; rather too
simple for tlie wealthy admirer. The trem
bling, weeping girl, the bold, reckless brothers
and the embarrassed gentleman, must have
formed a capita] group in a peasant’s cottage.
At length Signor attempted to com
promise the matter by saying thal then was not
tbe time, nor there the place, to celebrate sucli
a cercmonv, besides there was no priesj; and j
Aiul so repeated kindness will soften a heart of
stone.
Whatever you do, doit willingly. A boy
that is whipped to school, never learns his les
son well. A man that is compelled to work,
cart's not how badly it is performed. lie that
pulls off his coat cheerfully, strips up his sleeves
in earnest, and sings while lie works, is the man
for me.
“A rlierrful ppirit gets oil quick;
A grumbler iu tlie inud will stick."
Evil thoughts are worse enemies than lions
nml tigci.i, t'„r wo cm heiep out of itic way of
wild beasts, but bad thoughts win their way ev
ery where. The cup that is full will hold no
more;,keep your heads and hearts fell of good
thoughts, that bad thoughts may find no room

OUR RIGHT TO OREGON—IS IT AN
1XCUNTESTIBLE ONE.
Our superior claims to the whole of Oregon
—to the boundary line of 54 deg. 40 min. as
arranged with Russia, are not universally un
derstood in this country, not even by all those
who unhesitatingly assert our right to the whole;
and we, therefore, by way of imprimis, place
the matter briefly in our columns, in order to
give the public a clear view of the {question.
All this in umvieldly pamphl 4s and public doc
uments, lias been published, but aciive, eneiget-
ic America us, who are seeking fortunes, have
only time to read newspapers, aficr they havo
once started upon active business pursuits.
This nutter, in all its ramifications, is thus
arranged in our minds, and according to unim
peachable testimony.

England can produce in tlie priority of our dis- !
coverv and cccupancy; and another a right, j
a natural one, equally superior, in our territo- J
rial connection with tlie land in dispute. It has j
been asserted, and is now maintained bj* emi
nent statesmen, that even ifour righ; by tliscov-
ery and purchase were inferior to that of Great
Britain, we can never permit that of any other
European nation to occupy a single foot of soil
on this continent that they do not nflw own and
cultivate. It is true American policy—the de
claration ofM. Guizot to tlie cont ary notwith
standing—lo regulate the affeirsof North Amer
ica, and in a few short years, those of South
aud 25 democrats, not including Senator Wood
bury, of New Hampshire—who will no doubt
resign, if lie lias not done so already, having
been appointed to a scat on tlie bench of tlie
Supreme Court of the United Slates. Tlie va-
j cancv will however, be filled with a democrat,
I as will also the vacancies in Virginia, Indiana,
j Mississippi, and Tennessee, both branches of
j tlie legislature in each of those Stales being
democratic, The foil Senate will, therefore,
I comprise 21 wings tint! 30 democrats. Demo-

}■ One vacancy.
± Elected this year, for the first time, by sin
gle districts.
Showing a whig gain rf four members, and
a democratic loss <4 ion, compared with the old
Congress, when elected. Sundry changes were
sub-equeully made, mostly in lavor ol tl.o
wliigs.
There remains to be elected 3 members, viz;
four from Mississippi, one froru Florida,,land
one (to fill vncancicsj'from each of ihe Slates of
Louisiania, New Mampsliirc, and Massachu
setts. There is tio duulit of tlie election of 4
democrats in Mississippi, (as llio choice is by
general ticker,) lw Louisiana, and 1 in Flori
da. If the vacancies in New Hampshire and
Massachusetts are filhd at all, they will be fili-
Amcrica also. This was the declared policy of { od with democrats. Lt.iving these U'oplacos
out of the account, the House will be divided po
litical! V as follows :
President Monroo, and as far as Oregon is con
cerned, it was, we believe the subject matter of
despatch wriiten by Mr. Kush, when Minister
in England, to the British Government. It is
not our intention, however, to assert any ab
stract claim to Oregon; it is unnecessary lo do
so. Our right is derived from two sources suffi
ciently irresistible for our purpose. Firs:, tlie
right by discovery; second, the figltt by put-
chase.

MIRABEAIPS EULOGY ON FRANKLIN.
The following are the terms, in which tlie
Demosthenes of the French Revolution speaks
of our venerated Franklin;
On the morning after intelligence of Frank
lin’s doatli reached Paris, when the Assembly
was convened, Mirabeaii rose and spoke as fol
lows:
“Fkaxkli.v is dead! The genius that freed
America, and poured a flood of light over Eu
rope lias returned to the bosom of the Divini-
j ty. Tlie sage whom two worlds claim its their
| own, the man for whom the history of sciences
j und the history of empires contc-a with each
I other, held, without doubt, u high rank in the
j human race. Too long have political cabinets
taken formal note of the death of those who
were great, only in the funeral panegyrics.—
| Too long has tho etiquette of courts prescribed
i hypocritical mourning. Nations should wear
| mourning only for their benefactors, 'flic re-
prescntatives’.of nations should commend to heir
homage none but the heroes of humanity. Tlie
Congress has ordained throughout tlie United
States a mourning for one month for the death
of Franklin, and at this moment, America is
paying this tribute of veneration and gratitude
to one of the fathers of her constitution. Anti
quity would have raised altars (o the might}' ge
nius, who to the advantage of mankind, com
passing in his mind tho leavens and the earth, |
was able to restrain alike thunderbolts and ty- j
rants. Europe, enlightened and free, owes at |
least a token of remembrance and regret to one
of the greatest men who lias ever been engaged
in the service of philosophy and liberty. I pro-
nose-that it bo decreed, that the National As j
sembly, during three days, shall w ear mourning :
for Benjamin Franklin.
