LEVERING. - •'Re ipsa re peri Facilitate nihilcssehomini meliusatquedementia." Terence. 1. Land of the sunny South! whose galaxy Of deathless glories gem o'er History’s page Tby track of fame, where hero,, poet, sage, Stand way-marks to incite each pilgrim on To think thy thoughts, and do what thou hast done,— The patriot Muse exulting sings of thee 1 2. Has bloody War defil’d our virgin sod, And atficken Freedom sigh’d along thy plains Responsive to the foreign despot’s chains!* Thy sons, chivalricin the olden day, Pluck'd brightest laurels in the glorious fray, 1 - To gi.ve this land to Libertt and God! 3. 1 . Has Council-wisdom claimed the better part, To battle stitr’d, or.sweetly charm'd to peace, Alternate eloquence of Rome and Greece T Thy stalwart Statesmen, in forensic skill Foil arm’d, have shown the most conspicuous still, The first to rouse, and last to leave, the heart! 4. Does bright Apollo tarn his amp'.vborn, Distributing his gifts for waking earth, Aa glad Aonian seraphs sing their worth 1 Thou bast a far-fam’d lyre tocatch the strain, , And woo the lisl’ners o’er the sounding main, To tell the world we teach aa well as learn! 5. Has woman conquer’d with the mingled art Of roseate beauty and the sterling mind. The slave enchanted and the man refin’d? Thy matchless daughters, in their trinmphiogs, Have sway’d, as many a lofty poet sings, The nobler mind as well os grosser heart! is what the Grecians call Philanthropeia. * * This of all virtues and dignities of the mind is the greatest, being the character of the Deity; and without it man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing, no better than a kind of ver- piin.” Lord Bacon was right. Confessing the attractions of Scholarship, awed by the majesty of the Law, fascinated by the beauty of Art our souls bend with involuntary reverence be fore the angelic nature that seeks the good of his feliow-man. It is through him that God speaks On him has descended in especial measure his divine spirit, tiod is love, and man most nearly resembles him in his diffusive benevolence. In heaven, we are told, the first place or degree is given to the angels of love, who are termed Seraphim; the second to the angels of light, who are termed Cherubim It must be confessed with sorrow, that the time has not yet come, when even his exalted labors of benevolence can find equal accep tance with all men. And now, as 1 undertake to speak of them in his presence, I seem to ' tread on half-buried cinders. I shall tread fear lessly; trusting to be loyal to the occasion, to my subject, and to myself. In the language of my own profession, I shall not travel out of the record. It is fit that his name should be affectionately commemorated here. He was one of us. He was a son of the University,and for many years connected with its government as a teacher, and as a Fellow of the Corpora tion. To him, more, perhaps, than to any other person, is she indebted for her most dis' tinctive opinions. His name is indissolubly connected with hers: Has passing time this noble nature changed.— That time which e’en perfects the grov’ling flower, And winds its glories 'round the shelt’riug Dower? Not so!—it springs to shelter and defend. Adorn, rejoice.—though transient ills attend Its upward course, to Blight where’er it rang’d! 7. The prophet heard the “dill small voice." and bow’d, When nutt'ring thunders, rending hill and plain, And 6 re and tempest, call'd him forth in vain 1 The South, observant of her vaunted fame, Unaw’d by man. will wipe the Seeming blame At Heav’n’s “set time.” to please a higher God! 8. The nobly brave are always first to be Defeuders when the truth aod right are seen, Unbrib’d by int’rest and unsway’d by sin 1 Her conq’ringarm wo trusted in the fight. And share the glowing laurels of her might: We’ll trust the future to her chivalry 1 9. Her heroes shall be mighty heroes still; And History’s page, as wont, tbeirdeeds unroll, As warriors on the battle plain of *oul,_ To cap the monument their arm has rais'd With trophies all the good have ever prais’d. To ahow through time the purest thought and will! . IQ. Her council-sages, wi|h the pristine fire. Shall lead, as they have never led before. The gen’ral mind to liearkeu and adore The truths they give, as new-boru bards rehearse Their fame with higher atm and sweeter verse, While list’uers copy what they moat admire! 11. The mingling North and South must meet and kiss, With kindred love and kindred purpose high, To burst each chain that clogs our Liberty. Commission’d, with her ev’ry charm unfurl’d, On friendly mission to redeem the world, And tell the secret ofa nation’s bites 1 “And when thy ruin3 shall disclaim To be the treasure of his name, His name, that cannot fade, shall be An everlasting monument to thee.” • * * • • • • With few of the physical attributes which belong to the orator, he was an orator of sur passing grace. His soul tabernacled in a body that seemed little more than a filament of clay. He was small in stature; but when he spoke, his person seemed to dilate with the majesty of his thoughts; as the Hercules of Lysippus, a marvel of ancient art, though not more than a foot in height, revived in the mind the superhu man strength which overcame the Nemean lion— “Deus ille, Leus; seseque videndum Indulsit, Lvsippe, ti bi, parvusque videri Senltrique ingens." His voice was soft and musical, not loud or full in its tones; and yet, like conscience, it made it self heard in the inmost chambers of the soul. His eloquence was that of gentleness and per suasion, pleading for religion, humanity and jus tice. He did not thunder or lighten. The rude elemental forces furnish no proper image of his power. His words descended like sun. sbine upon the souls of his heaters, and, under their genial influence the hard in heart were softened, while the closely hugged mantle of prejudice and error was allowed to fall to the earth. His eloquence had not the form and fashion of forensic efforts or parliamentary debates. It ascended above these, into an atmosphere as Land of the South! the Eagle BiRndoth circling wan t unattempted in practical life. Whenever To bear the ready summons to the North,— . r .r ....... he spoke or wrote, it was with the highest aims not for display, not to advance himself, not for any selfish purpose, not in human strife, not in any ignoble questions of dollars and cents; but in the high service of religion and benevolence of love of God and man.

Real pleasures are exhausted in the very mo ment of their enjoyment; we cannot caich the butterfly without destroying il; but iif pursuing imaginary pleasures, the delights of the chase never terminate, for their horizon recedes as we advance. Hope is better than fruition. Let no man, therefore, complain of his deficiency in tangible and actual delights, when, by si> simple a means as association, he may command an inexhaustible store of enjoyments rendered the more exquisite by the certainty that they are indestructible. Summoning the absent and conjuring back the past, how incalculably does this easy process multiply our inlets of pleas ure? Who but a dullard could be satisfied with the mere materiality of the objects that surround him, when, however unattractive in themselves, they may be made to suggest ten thousand charming associations ? A clod of earth may elevate any man’s imagination, as it did that of Ilamlet, to “imperial Caesar.” Ye sceptics, who doubt the power and pleasure of this crea tive faculty, read forthwith Le Maitre’s ‘ Voy age autour de ma chambre,’ although, in deco rating your rooms with pictures, the most com panionable and life-like of all material objects, I counsel ye not to follow the example of that writer by suspending from your walls such sub. jects as Werther’s Charlotte cleaning the pis tols, or Ugolino glaring on his famished sons. Even these, nevertheless, may furnisli us with a solace in the reflection that both represent mere fictions; for though the Italian poeta have adopted tbe latter tale as a fitting vehicle for pathetic descriptions, its authenticity is de nied by the best historical writers, and when we are contemplating the delineations of miseries- that have actually occurred, we may find a grateful pleasure in recalling our exemption from similar visitations, and in reciting the so norous lines of Lucretius : *Suave mari mag• no, turbantihus aquora vends,’ &c. Away with these revolting paintings, away with sculptures like the dying Gladiator or the Laocoon group, away with every saddening memento, away with sombre colors and gloomy hues, and let us surround ourselves with all that is gay-and cheerful, bright, beaming, and hap py, in order that our associations may be of a sympathetic quality, for the mind, like the cara- eleon, takes the hue of that which environs it. Foremost among these sweet, joyous, and ele vating reminiscences should be portraits or stat ues of eminent females; not pagan goddesses, not imagined beauties, but the far more fasci nating creatures who have honored and adorn ed humanity. If the merchant or the manufac turer requires a more effectual remedy than an ounce of civet to purify his imagination, let him ever have before his eyes some represen tation of that noble and beautiful being, the su periority of whose character arises from her disinterestedness and indifference to money, as the selfishness of man’s springs from his devo tion to it. Her presence, even by painted or other substitution, will lift him out of his mam- monism. Every toy upon his table, winged by a suggestive thought, may soar out of its groy- elling materiality; there is, in fact, no object so insignificant, none even so disagreeable as not to be fraught with important and pleasant suggestions, if we will but assist in their ex. traction. Our children learn history by a me~ moria tecknica; may not we ourselves learn contentment and cheerfulness by a technical association, which would unconsciously assume the character of a devotional exercise? This mental employment would render us at once more happy and more pious; for, as nothing depresses the soul more than superstition, no thing is so sure to elevate and to gladden it as natural religion. VARIETIES OF JEALOUSY. Men are prouder of what others admire, tho* they themselves cannot see its beauty, than of that they the most fervently admire, if it be not appreciated by others. Many a husband, for instance, is proud of the wife to whose charms he has been long indifferent. Hence the exis tence of jealousy where there is no love. Pride, self love, and even hatred, have each their re spective jealousy ;for the success ofothe r s is often resented as an injury to ourselves. Many dis sent from Rochefoucauld’s maxim, that there is something in the misfortunes of our friends not altogether unpleasing to us; but few will deny that they feel a certain pain in witnessing the pleasures of their enemies. These feelings are but so many varieties of jealousy.

More frequently he has been associated. with Washington and Franklin; but, unlike Wash ington, he bad no ensigns of command; unlike Franklin, lie was never elevated to the pinna cle of foreign office. It is probable that since them no American has exerted an equal influ ence over his fellow men. And yet, if it be asked what single important measure he had carried to a successful close, I could not an swer. It is on character that he has wrought and is still producing incalculable changes. From the retirement of his st udy he has spo ken to the nations and to mankind, in a voice which has made itself heard in the most distant places, and whose influence, pleading the cause of gentleness, of righteousness, and of pence, is felt by thousands on whose souls has never fall en either his spoken o~r written word. He is the herald of a new and greater age than any yet seen in tho world’s history, when the Sword shall yield to the Pen, when the Gorgon coun tenance of Force, hardening all that it looks upon, shall be dazzled into imbecility by the effulgence ofChristian Truth. While he lived he was ever, through good report and evil re port, the champion of Humanity. “Follow my white plume,” said the chivalrous monarch of France, as he plunged into the thickest of the vulgar fight. “Follow the right,” more re splendent than plume or oriflamme, was the watchword of Channing.

Fate, in its perpetual contests with mankind, seems to be really as inexorable and ruthless as it is represented in tbe classical tragedies. It is but the instrument, however, of a higher power, which, so far from being blind or deaf, like its vicegerent, will see into the heart, and listen to the defences of offenders, and judging of actions according to motives and circumstan ces. will administer justice tempered with mer cy. phecles, the doctrines of Plato, all the great works of Art, have derived their inspiration from the same source.

A RARE PATRIMONY. - , A young man of Nuremburg, who had no fortune, requested a lawyer, a friend of his, to recommend him to a family, where he whs a daily visitor, and where there was a handsome daughter, who was to have a large fortune. The lawyer agreed; but the father of the young lady loved money, and asked him what proper ty the young man had. The lawyer said he did not exactly know, but he would inquire. The next time lie saw his young friend, he a>ked him ifhehadany property at all. “No,” replied he, “none whatever.” “Well,” said the law yer, “would you suffer any one to cut off your nose, ifhe should give you 20,000 dollarsfor it?” I ‘Not for all the world,” replied the youth.— I two ns Anna. ”Tis well,” added the lawyer; “I had a reason ; for asking.” The next time he saw the girl’s Dimxtgrk^ted Act.' father, ho said, “I have inquired about this j young man’s circumstances; he has, indeed, no ready money, biit he has a jciocl for which, to my knowledge, he has been offered, and he re fused 20,000 dollars.” This induced the old father to consent to the marriage, which accor dingly took place; but it is said that, in the se quel, he often shook his head when he thought of the highly-prized jewel. J AUTOGRAPH OF SANTA ANNA. As the name of the present ruler of Mexico has been vriously spelt in the Union, as well as in some other papers, we have asked permission of the Slate Department to see some document which he has signed with his own name. This request has been obligingly granted, and a missive placed before us which communicated to our government the fact of his temporary ap pointment at Mexico as the chief executive offi cer. in place of BnstamentP, who had repaired to Tampico, in 1839.
