Her every tone is music’s own, Like- those of morning birds, Andßbmething more than melody Dwells ever in her words; The coinage of her heart are they, And from her lips each flows, As one may see the burdened bee F’orth issue from the rose. Affections are as thoughts to her, The measures of her hours; Her feelings have the fragranev, The freshness of young flowers ; And lovely passions changing oft, So fill her, she appears The image of themselves by turns, The idol of past years! Os her bright face one glance will trace A picture on the brain, * And of her voice in echoing hearts A sound must long remain ; But memory such as mine of lier So very much endears, When death is nigh, my latest sigh Will not be life’s but hcr’s. My song shall be of one made up Os loveliness alone A woman of her gentle sex The seeming paragon— Os her! and would on earth there stood Some more of such a frame, That life might be all poetry And weariness a name. iMiriwl f*krtrjj. W[t ITT EX FOR THE CASSVILI.E STANDARD. The Literature and Manners of the Ancient Scandinavians—No. 3. The poetic Edda is mostly devoted i !o the description of the deeds of S’can | dinavian heroes of the time of Ouin. A ! few of the poems were doubtless written | bv Salmond himself; but the majority j of them bear internal evidence that en | titles them to the claim of much higher j antiquity than the eleventh century. — I One of these poems is translated into \ modern Damish verse by Prof. Finn Mng nussen, in his Elder Edda, published in Copenhagen, in the year 1822. The poem consists of two hundred and sixty six lines and is entitled “ Thryms— koala edr Hammar Sheimetf’ (Thryrne’s song, or the mallet regained.) The sto ry it relates is as follows : The god Thor’s mallet has been*conquered by the giant Tlirym, who has burred it beneath the | icy rocks of the Earth. Loki is sent by Thor, to negotiate with the giant fur the recovery of the formidable weapon; but Thrytn vows that the mallet shall [.not be restored unless Freja shall consent to become bis bride. Loki returns to Olympus; but the Goddess of Love, of course, is horror stricken at the thought of bestowing her charms upon the King of the Frost Giants. Loki, therefore, in I his character of the king of falsehood, 1 persuades Thor to dress himself in Fre ja’s clothing, borrow her wings and then to accompany him to the caverns of the Earth, the Kingdom ofThiym. By the advice of his artful counsellor, Loki, Thor closely veils his countenance that ; the giant may not recognize him. Thrym | invites bis bride to sup with him and is astonished at her appetite, as she eats for her supper eight large fish, a full grown ox, and other delicacies, wash ing down the whole with three hogs heads of mead. lie questions Loki— but the deceitful knave assures him that the young lady has thought so much of the approaching nuptials, that she had eaten nothing for eight days. At length the King of the Frost Giants has the cu riosity to uplift the veil, which has thus far concealed Thor’s countenance. He starts back in fear, and demands why I Freja’s eyes, glisten with such wild fire. | “ For eight long nights’’ replies the cun | ning Loki, “ she has not slept, so ardent ! ly has she longed to become your wife.” | Satisfied the Frost Giant directs the rnal ■ let to be placed upon the “ fair damsels | lap.” Now Thor casts aside his disguise, J ami grasping his mallet slaughters Thrym ! and all his followers. “La kom ,” con cludes the poet. Odins son after till sin hammar , —and thus Odin’s son, he regained his mallet. The exploits of • Odin and his kindred Gods, occupying j a large portion in the Poetic Edda. — j This Edda also contains the code of i laws religious and moral, as given by Odin, some of which are said to have been written by the great God himself, in the Runic character. The Runic character is a writing which the Scandi navians supposed was invented by Odin, But he undoubtedly brought his knowl edge of their writing from Scythia, for although much modified, still it slightly resembled the Roman character. Up wards of one thousand Runic inscrip tions has been discovered iu Sweden, and three or lour hundred in Denmark and Norway. The Prose or younger Edda is com monly ascribed to the celebrated Snorri Sturlason, who was born of a distinguish ed Icelandic family in the year 1178, and lifter leading a turburlent and ambi tious life, and being twice the supreme Magistrate of the Republic, was killed A, X>> 1241. The Jhose Edda in its pre sent form consists of the prologue. The deception of Gylfij conversations, and an.Ejiiiloguc.. The prologue and mid V vcej;e. pyotyibly written, by Snorri himself. They consist yf a mass of ridiculous, syncretiau of llc- “PRINCIPLES NOT MEN.” brew, Greek, Roman and Scandinavian myths and legends, in which Noah, Pri am, Odin, Hector, Thor, JEneas, and oth er personages of a like character, are jumbled together in the form of a ro mance,. much resembling those of the middle ages. These .dissertations, how ever, have nothing in common with the so called Prose Edda. The Prose Edda is principally derived from the Poetic Edda, and as there is nothing new or striking in it, we will now turn our at tention to the Skaldic literature. The most affecting and striking pas sages in the ancient northern poetry, were such as now would be considered lhe most whimsical, unintelligible ridic ulous, their modes of thinking were so different from ours at the present time. Another reason contributes to render their poetry very obscure, and that is, their language and metaphors are bor rwwed from their mythology —a my thology not so .familiar to us as that of the Greeks and Romans. — When they did not allude to their own fables, they took metaphors from other subjects, which were common ly very far-fetched, and overdrawn. — Thus a poet seldom expressed heaven by any other term than ‘‘the Giant Amir's Skull,” alluding to a fable in which that giant figured most conspicuously. The rainbow they called “ the bridge of the Gods.” Gold was the tears of Frija the Goddess of love. Poetry the drink of Odin, and smiles of Brugi. The earth was called either “ the wife of Odin ; the jdaughter of the night, the mother of Thor, the vessel which floats on ages or the foundation of the air. Herbs and plants were called, the fleece or hair of the earth. A a combat was termed, a bath of blood; hail from Odin or the shock of shields. The sea was the field of pirates, or the griddle of the earth.— Ice, the firmest and largest of bridges, a ship the horse of the waves, and the tongue a sword of wonls. In short, they studied these expersions until it became necessary for the Skalds to com pile a glos sary of their far fetched metaphors and overwrought siinlies, that their readers might be enabled to understand them aright. Two of these dictionaries are still extant; the one by Ragnoald, Earl of the Orkuiegs; under the name of the Poetical key, and the other is to be found at the end of the Prose Edda, under the title of Skaldi,” or the Art of Poetry. Hettet 1o $ fiietoi'. Who is Wiley Harbucket ? Hereto fore unknownfame, lie becomes sud denly “one of’em.” Preserved in the amber of the Knickerbocker’s humor, Wiley will go*down to immortality as the Model Letter Writer of Alabama.— We give Knick’s preface as well as the epistle: “ Wiley Harbucket's Letter from Clarke county, Alabama, which ensues, is a genuine document, save the name and the ehirography, the latter of which denies all transfer. It was addresssed to a commission house in Mobile. “It dis plays (writes the obliging friend at New Orleans from whom we receive ii) the characteristics of a class hitherto not des cribed, the small planter of the South, with whom there is a vein of genuine practical piety and kind domestic feeling which deserves to ‘be appreciated. I have observed that you specially affect anything that is thoroughly American / and I am sure that you will see that this letter is as well thoioughly Southern, and giving moreover a phase of life in the South not on record.” Our corres pondent speaks of other letters of Mr. Harbucket.” Let us have them by all means: Clark County, Ala, ) Nov. 16, 1854.

WILEY JIAKBUCKET.” ft )eecl). Hooper of the Montgomery Mail, gives the following report of the greatest speech he ever heard: A fellow was indicted lip in the old Ninth, when Tom G 1 was Solicitor, for gambling, to wit: Playing “ short cards,” at a certain locality known as Frog Level. Col. N defended him and contended before the jury, that tho’ the State’s evidence “tended” to show that his client, with a bottle of liquor in his pocket, accompanied tho crowd who, it was shown, did actually play, yet it never did, with absolute certainty locate him as one of the players. Said lie, by way of peroration: “Gentlemen of the Jury : the witness have told you that Peter Wyatt was thar, and a-playin ; for ho noticed his hand, and it was a full on Queens! “Harry SrtoW was tfiar, and Ae w & s a-playin’; for he hilt two little par ! “ William Upson was thar, and fie played, ’cause witness noticed, in par ticular. that he had nothin’ but an ace ! “ Bill Connor war thar agd Ae played, gentlemen, for he had tho bully hand— four high heeled Jacks J “ But, gentlemen, when I come to ask him about Abraham Pitken—my client’s hand, what did ho say gentlemen ? Why, nothin’, gentlemen, except that if Abo hilt any hand, ho disromembered what was in it J Ami now gentlemen of thejiury, because my client was seen goin‘ down to Frog Level, with a bottle of li quor in his pocket, and the witness can’t, roirwmbci; at> he tylt any hand at all*, when bully hand's was out, and’ him the TWO DOLLARS A-YEAR, IN ADVANCE* best player in the crowd —is that—*V j that —I say, gentlemen of the jury, in that my client was guilty of the crime of I Gambolling !” It is almost needless to. say. A bat the ‘jury saw the non-sequitor ana acquitted I the defendant. j Lung Diseasses—Dr. Huilter. I Our readers have, doubtless, all read the 1 series of interesting letters contributed to i the Mirror, for sometime past, by Dr Robert i Hunter, whose system of lnhalation iti the treatment of Diseases of the Chest”—-thohgb but for a short time introduced to the Amer ican public ; has, by its uniform success, even in cases pronounced inettt-ahie by oth- j er modes of treatment, secured a favor with ! the public, aud the medical fraternity even. | seldom vouchsafed to an inuoVatioh on me- j dical usages.” Indeed, we doubt if any j greater revolution in the treatment of a class > of diseases, has ever occurred in this couu- i try. To diseases of the lungs and chest ; con sumption, bronchitis, &c., —the American people have a general ami, it would seem, chronic inclination. Whether it results most from carelessness in dress, or in diet, or mainly from want of card in both, as well as in habits of exercise, we cannot say —but we know, from keeping an eye to the mortal- j ity bills, that lung and chest diseases are the ruling diseases of this country. And what is more, they have, heretofore, mainly baffled the skill of our medical faculty, laughing tarwater, cod liver oil, and all that sort of tilings to scorn. The accession of Dr. Hun ter, therefore, to oUr medical raJiks, ivith a system of practice that promises to reduce if not obliterate the triumphant power of con sumption and its cognates, is hailed with more than satisfaction. Dr. Hunter is a physician, who lias ven tured into the field with no less modesty than ability, making no pretensions that lie has not justified by sound argument and suc cessful practice. Right here, in our midst, he has met the < incurables,” and restored them t 6 pristine health.

Os course we know nothing of the medica ments used by Dr. Hunter, nor can we dis course technically upon his mode of treat ment ; we only know that by inhalation he reaches disease as it has never before been reached, and that, to the patient, it is not only curative but the at same time the most agreeable mode of treatment. Our reactors have, however, beeu eulightened by Dr. H.’s letters more than they would be by any thing we could say. Avery able article, or summury of his system, appears iu the March number of the American Medical Ga zette, edited by Dr. Meredith lleese. We have not space here to copy this article, as wc would like to do, but it is worthy of the attention of every one. In introducing, the letter to his readers, Dr Reese says ; < We insert his (Dr. Hunter's) letter with pleasure, addressed as it is to the profession, who will know how to appreciate it It will serve us, moreover, as an answer to many of our distant subscribers who have writteu to us for information on the subject. They cannot fail to discriminate between Dr. Hun ter’s scientific views in regard to diseases and remedies, and the paltry charlatanism of certain quacks, whose grandiloquent adver tisements of lung vapor in packages,’ &c , merit only contempt, and whose employment of luhalation is calculated to bring the prac tice into disrepute.” The llerald says, in copying the above mentioned letter: / < The article is clear, well written and sensible, and is addressed by Dr. Hunter to ! his brethren of the profession at large, as an explicit declaration of the principles on which ho practices in a speciality, with ac knowledged benefit to a large and widely ex tending circle of patients, both from this city and the surrounding districts. Ilis avoidance of every indication of empiricism, and liis rational diagnosis ot all affections ot the throat and lungs, with his very success ful application of remedial agents in the shape of medicated vapor, have caused Dr Hunter to bo already patronized by somo of our leading physicians, and his bouse is dai-’ ly crowded with patients.” But our purpose, in this article, is not to introduce special testimony, or to argue Di\ Hunter’s claims in any special Way With thousands of others, we have boon in terested id his system, more by the univer sality of its success and the blessing it prom ised, than on any and nil accounts. To the real servitor of the publio-rtho friend of Uu munity—-we have nevor been wanting in eu logy. We regard Dr. Hunter as a distiu j gftishod moinbor of his class.—A*.

From the Presbyterian Critic. The American Party. /There is no demand whatever for a great national movement against the Catholic Church. The recent excite ment in the country has been, in the main, the result of a corrupt movement of unprincipled politicians, to excite the Protestant feeling of the people and to ‘ride into power upon the tide. They have run foul of the great maxim, which they have so conspicuously set forward amoug their principles, as if for the pur- . pose of exposing the profligacy of the whole movement, by violation in prac tice what they praise in theory. It is ab- I surd to deny, that making tile mere re j ligious sentiments of a man the reason j for refusing to vote for him, isVi violation j of the great principle of religious liberty, j It is allowing a principle of discrimina | ting the political aspect’of a vote to be i sound and just; which would be wicked and unprincipled, if embodied in a law. If our neighbors make their dislike to our Presbyterian sentiments the ground of their refusing to vote for us, it is perfect ly useless to disguise that we are un der political responsibility for religious opinions— that, quoad hoc, we are suffer ing for them. The objectionable feature in'this view of the case is, making relig ious opinion unattended by any vicious* ness of action growing out of it, a gronnd foi an universal political’ affairs, affecting permanently large mas ses of citizens. This is our first aud great objcci ion to the American or Know Nothing party; it is violating the very principle of religious liberty which it pro fesses to conserve; and has adopted a construction of that principle which strips it of all practical force leaving it a dead letter in the statute book, and abandoning its control over the political action of the people. We object again to a political move ment against the Catholic Church, be cause there is no necessity for It* provid ed the people of this country will prop erly employed the legitimate agencies of opposition which are in their power.— The simple and sufficient condition of the preservation of the Republic from the arts of Romanism, is the full efficient support of the protestant CliUtch—the complete and animated maintenance of the domestic, missionary enterprises of the various Protestant denominations. This Is the great conservative element of our political system —to sustain ahd viv ify it with the vigorous energy Which it ought to possess—and it need hot be feared that any of the great social or po litical interests that are conditioned up on it will ever come to harm. It is the only—not less than the only legitimate power, which can be effectively employ ed to restrain Popery arid maintain the institutions of oUr Government. All persecution, no matter how disguised in form or limit in extent, will inure to the benefit of the body enduring it. The policy, then, of restraining Popery by political disabilites inflicted upon the individual Catholic, is suicidal in the ex treme. It will concentrate and intensify the attachment of its members, and ren der them more unapproachable by Pro testant instruction. It will create sym pathy, and thus open Wide tile door to proselytism, an as it will put the Church in an attitude far more attractive as the victim of an unjustifiable crUsttde than it is at all entitled to assume from its in trinsic charms. How long is the world to be learning the lesson and never com ing to the knowledge of the truth, that all means but reason and love to affect the opinions of men, only result in strength ening attachment to their original con victions ? The principle of opposition to Popery is vicious, and the more com pletely it is carried into effect, tile more disastrous will be the result. The more complete the political victory over Po pery, the more it will be benefited.— The only effective—iis it is the only law ful, general and permanent agency of op position to the Popish Church—is the true Protestant Church of Christ under its various forms. We have no right to complain of the inefficient*)’ of a means until we have employed it fuPy and tested all its capacities. Let the people of the United States double their support of the great domestic inissofiarv work, •and they may safely abandon all politi cal agitations against the Catholic Church. We object again to the American par ty, that it is condensing the Catholic and Foreign element in our population into a political body, distinct front the mass of our dhizens, armed with all their pow er to do mischief, and animated by all that hostility which is natural to men suffering under an ostracism of their re ligion and birth, provoked by an at tempt to diminish their full equality ’ with other citizens. Now what dues Know Nothingism propose to do for the remedy of this evil which it has created ? It only proposes to render the’ Oath olio and Foreign citizen ineligible to office. It leaves them the power to. rote, and the right of unlimited emigration iu the future —tire two great means of mischief, if they are pleased to ns© them. There can be no remedy for the Pope’s control over the Catholic tote, except in take eing away the elective fnwhise altogeth** er. Now il is, to say the least of it, the most manly and honest policy, to pro hibit tho entry of a Catholic and a Fois eigner altogether, into the country, aud to the lights ofcit : zenship, rather; t.hiU).
