BY WILLIAM CJLLEN BRYANT. Fair is thy site, Sorrento ! green thy shore ; Black crags behind theepierce the clear blue skies ; The sea whose borders riled the world of yore, As clear, and bluer still before thee lies. Vesuvius smokes in sight whose fount of fire, Out-gushing, drowned be cities on his steeps; And murmuring Naples,spire o’erfopping spite. Sits on the slope beyorii, where Virgil sleeps. Here doth the earth withflowers of every hue Heap her green breast when April’s sun is bright— Flowers of the morning-rd, or ocean-blue, Or like the mountain dost of silver white. Currents of fragrance frim the orange tree, And sward of violets, breathing to and Iro, Mingle, and wandering ml upon the sea, Refresh the idle boatmm where they blow. Yet even here, as underhnrsher climes, Tears o’er the loved aid early lost are shed ; That soft air saddens wjth the funeral chimes, Those shining flowers are gathered for the dead. Here once a child, a pbyful, smiling one, All the day long carasing and caressed, Died, when his little toigue had just begun To lisp the names of those he loved the best. The father strove his struggling grief to quell; The mother wept, as mothers used to weep , Two little sisters wearied them to tell When their dear Canos would awake from sleep. Within an inner room his couch they spread, His luneral couch ; u/h mingled grief and love, They laid a crown of ro>t-s on his head, And murmured, * Brighter is his crown above.” They scattered around him, on his snowy sheet, Latuim.ii, o straigi oi &uiuiy-cotofsa gebi's, Sad hyacinth and violet dim and sweet, And orange blossoms on their dark green stems. And row the hour is come—the priest is there— Torches arc lit—the bells are tolled—they go, With solemn rites of blessing and of prayer, To lay the dear remains in earth below. The door is opened—hark, that quick glad cry ! ‘ Carlos has waked—has waked, and is at piay !’ The little sisters leap and laugh, and try To climb the couch on which the infant lay. And there he sits, alive, and gaily shakes, In his full hands, the blossoms blue and white, And smiles with winking eyes, like one who wakes From a deep slumber at the morning light. From ihe Christian Statesman. ‘ The fool hath said in his heart there is no God.’— Psalm 14. ‘No God! No God 1’ The simplest flower That on the wild is found, Shrinks, as it drinks its cup of dew, And trembles at the sound : ‘ No God !’—astonished Echo cries Ftom out her cavern hoar, And every wandering bird that flies Reproves the Atheist lore. The solemn forest lifts its head Th’ Almighty to proclaim ; * The brooklet, on its crystal urn, Do'h leap to grave His name. High swells the deep ar.,l vengeful sea, Along its billowy track, And red Vesuvius opes his mouth, To hurl the fulsehold back. The palm-tree, wilh its princely crest, The cocoa’s leafy shade. The bread fruit, bending to its lord, In you far island glade ; The winged seeds, borne by the winds The roving sparrows feed, The melon, on the des< rt sands. Confute the scorner's creed. ‘ No God !’ With indignation high The fervent Sun is stirred, And the pale Moon turns paler still, At such an impious word ! And from their burning thrones, the Stars Look down with angry eye. That thus a worm of dust should mock Eternal Majesty 1 L. H. S. Putnam and the British Officer. —It is well known that in the time of the nisi French war; much jealousy existed between the British and Provincial officers. A British Major | deeming himself insulted by General (then Captain) Putnam, sent him a challenge. Put nam, instead of giving a direct answer, re quested the pleasure of a personal interview] with the Major. He came to Putnam’s tent | and found him seated on a small keg, quietiy j smoking his pipe. He demanded what com-; munication, if any, Putnam had t make. ’ VYhv, you know,’ said Putnam, * I’m but a ‘ poor miserable Yankee, that never fired a i pistol in mv life, and von musi have an undue ’ advantage over me. Here are two pewder-: kegs: 1 have bored a hole and inserted a! slow-match m each ; so if you will just be sol good as to seat yourself there, I will light! the matches; and he who dares sit the long est without squirming, shall be called the bravest fellow. 5 The tent was full of officers and men, who were hugely tickled at this strange device of the ‘ old wolf, 5 and compel led the Major by their laughter and exhorta tions to squat. The signal was given and the matches lighted. Putnam continued smok ing quite indifferently, without watching at all their progressive diminution ; but the Brit ish officer, though a brave fellow, could noi help casting longing, lingering looks down wards, and his terrors increased as the length of his match diminished. The spectators withdrew one by one to get out of the reach j of the expected explosion. At length, when ; the fire was -within an inch of the keg, the!

A ‘HIGH FLOWN’ NEGRO. I was joined by George Edward Fitz Au gustus Seaton, a colored man, who discharged the functions of waiter at the Qiy Hoiel. He informed me that he was going to mar ket ‘fir de social object,’ as he declared, ol purchasing tvegetables and otfer animal matter for de immediate consumption of de establishment. Having nothing better to do, I agreed to accompany George Edward Fitz Augustus, ansi we accordingly set off for Catharine Market. When we arrived at that depot of natural animate and inanimate pro ductions, my companion walked up to the wagon of a fat countryman, and after peering for some time at his stock, inquired, -if dose were good taters?’ ‘Yes, Sir/ responded the countryman. ‘A tater,’ resumed George Edward Filz Augustus, ‘ is inevitably bad unless it is inwa riahlv goaf. Dere is no mediocrity in de combination of a tater. De exterior mnv appear remarkably exemplary and beaut'i somc, while de interior is totally negative. But, Sir, if you wends de article upon your own recommendation, knowing you to be a man of probability in vour Iransactimrs, I without Further circumlocution takes a bush el!’ George Edward now passed to the stall of a dealer in eggs and butter, and taking a quarter of a dollar from his vest pocket, com menced an inspection of the latter commodi ty. ‘You call dat good butter?’ demanded he with a disagreeable expression upon his counteance, as if an ill flavor suddenly in haled. ‘ Yes, Sir, I do—as good butter as comes to this or anv other plsc?. ‘TVhat do you tink about axing ior-4.?t bulter ?’ ‘ Twenty-five cents.’ ‘ Twenty-five cents ! And do you suppose, for de moment, dat vour butter extensifvs to such extreme waluation ?—nasty, rancid stuff, churned over for de’easion!—old butter ren ovaied!’—said the indignant George Edward, moving off; ‘but dat’s de kind of negotiation I frequently meets wilh in dis market!’— Knickerbocker. From Blackwood’s Magazine. BROKEN HEARTS. I have no great faith, generally speaking, in what is called ‘ a broken heart.’ In this in stance lam almost as confirmed a sceptic as Sam Slick, that shrewdest of Yankee c.lock makers. ‘ What, sir,’ methinks I hear some green sentimentalist exclaim, ‘ do you then attach no credit to the histories of Sappho and Phaon, Hero and Leander, and a hun dred others that 1 could mention, who died, beyond all possibilily of C3vil, of broken hearts ?’ Unquestionably not: I believe, in deed, that such people iived, and that in pro cess of time they were gathered 10 their kin dred earth ; but I deny that they died, either directly r indirectly, of the pathetic malady attributed to them. For who are our au thoriiies on this point? The poets —a set of fellows whose indifference to facts is notori ous, and who tell such preposterous lies, and with such a grave face too, that there is ac tually no believing a single word they say ! The case of Sappho, who, these inventive gentry assure us, flung herself from ‘Leuca dia’s steep,’ in consequence of having been by Phaon at n lime when she bade fr.ir to increase the parish burdens, I take te /ne neither more nor less than this: Being women are apt to be at her age, she was one fine day watching, from the rock in question, the rich glory of a Grecian sunset, when, in the ardor of her enthusiasm, leaning forward to catch a glimpse of the ruddy waves that broke with a dull, heavy crash upon the shin gles, she lost her balance, and threw an un dignified summerset from the top of the pre cipice to the bottom. There was no senti ment in the matter; it was purely an acci dent —an affair, not of a broken heart, but of a broken neck. The case of Hem I con ceive to be as clear as that, of Sappho. She ‘ kept company,’ it is well known, with Le ander, but her father, who was n respectable man, and in a large way of business, disap proved of the match, for the fellow had no thing to recommend him as a son-in law —no money in the funds—no landed estate —no investments in houses—nothing, in short, but a passable face and intrepid impudence.— Still, notwithstanding these objections, Hero stuck to her ‘ sweetheart,’ -and persisted in having stolen interviews with him ; where upon her venerable parent, like a sensible man as he was, threatened to lock her up in a coal hole ; and ; t was in running away from him just as he was about to put his threat into execution, that the agitated young wo man, who hnd rushed out upon the leads of the house, like Tlebecea when she flew from the Knight. Templar—made one step too many—pitched head over heels into the Hel lespont, and met that death which has im mortalised her memory. These I contend are the true versions of the stories of Sappho and Hero, which are now fir the first time stripped of the sentimental embellishments that the poets have flung round them, and viewed by the sober daylight of common sense. But dismissing the ancients, tike ?; modern instance nr two ofn ‘ broken heart.’ as they pass current in the social circles, and see wha t is to he made of them. What more com mon in the boudoir or the drawing room, I than such conversation as this? ‘Do you ; know Miss Sims?’ ‘ Yes.’ ‘ Ah, poor thing, : she is greatly to he pitied. She was to have i been married to Captain Dobbs,of the En niskillen Dragoons, hut before the lawyers ! had finished drawing up the settlements, old I Sims took umbrage at something or othpr ; : the match was declared off; the Captain was j I compelled to set out on Dressing business to i Boulogne, and poor, dear Ethelinda has pver j since been dying of a broken heart.’ ‘ Bher me ! you don’t say so ? shocking!’ £ Fac.— I had a note from the sweet girl hut vester- I day, wherein she solemnly assures me, in a ! postcript, that she shall n°ver survive the ! shock her sensibility—for she was nM soul, ; you know—has sustained ; and that, though her napa, bv way of converting her melan- I choly, has offered to take her to Epsom, vet ! that she has nut the heart to go there.’— ‘What’ not go to Epsom on ihe Derby ! day? Well, I never! Ah, poor thing, her heart is indeed broken !’ And yet this for lorn damsel thus said to be dying of thp most interesting of all maladies, and creating in consequence a sensation, whenever her name is mentioned, plucks up spirit enough, a few weeks afterward, to run off with her father’s | footman —a smart young fellow, with n glib tongue, round, laughing face, unimpeacha ble calves, set off to the best advantage in white cotton stockings, and standing six feet in his shoes! Here is another illustration of a ‘ broken heart.’ A pretty romantic heiress, who has just finished her education at one of the rsost fashionable polishing academies at Chelten ham or Brighton, falls desperately in love with a briefless hut seductive voting barris ter whom she first met at church, and after wards danced with at an Assize bail. Well, the affair ‘ progresses but just as it is about to he wound up by an elopement, it comes to the ears of the heroine's parents, who, hard hearted wretches that they are! instantly whisk her o/Fto some semi-barbarous water ing place. on _the Cornish or South Devon Coast—cruel catastrophe ! The aggrieved fair one forthwith betakes herself to her soli tary chamber; S’giis and sobs ‘ from the ris ing oi the sun to the going down of the same;’ reads toufching poems and still more touching novels, and writes to nil her acquaintances, woo, devoutly believing every word she savs. take ea r r to circulate the afflicting intelli gence tliot she is dying bv inch’ s of a broken heart ! Mark now the sequel of this sad story! \ertrs elapsed, and one day a stout, niidd e-aged gentleman with a lin'd head, and about as much sentiment in bis face a ls a shmildel ol mutton, meets at a dinner party a buxotr, red nosed, corpulent dame, the happy d* •'her of six bouncing children, the t\o last twins. Observe with what coo! in differenie they address each other—how com fortable they look—how thoroughly they enjoy themseltes ! 1 here is no nonsense—no de licate huitation ; their appetites—the lady, von petceive, has been helped twice to tur- • key, ans a platoul each time; and as for the gentWii.'ut. tW plies Ids knife and fork with a steady determination of purpose that might excite the envy of au Alderman. And who is this hale, jolly couple, who, if you were to sing them a love song, would fail fast asleep under your very nose, and only wake up ip time to lake you in for a snug rubber nl whist? Can you ask? Thev are the very same who, twenty years before, were uni versally believed to be dying of broken hearts, because they were prevented from eloping wilh each other! Gentle reader, whenever vou hear touching stories of this sort, and I know of none that are so common, alwavs bear in mind Sam Slick's sh>. ;. ‘ <i>e orilv broken heart I ever heard tell of, was that ol a New York ticket porter, who broke it in straining at a twelve stone weight!’ From the Philadelphia Saturday News. A QUEER CUSTOMER. ‘lt is most amusing,’ said Richard Mer vvn, as he relinquished the attempt to rise from the gutter at the corner of and streets. ‘lt is really astonishing how soon this dreadful climate of America brings on old age. I shall never survive to get home arid write a book about the place—never. Here I am, six feet two, without my stock ings, sprawling in a dirty, republican gutter, vrffthout being able to help myself out of it. There’s a lamp winking and blinking in my face, as if it wants to laugh, and would, if it had a mouth ; and a big brute of a dog just now nosed me to see whether I was good to eat. VYhal a country ! what gutters ! and what liquor! I only took nine smnllers of whiskey, and what witli that and premature old age, I verily believe I am assassinated — I’m a gone chicken !’ Mr. Mervyn now clamored so loudly that assistance soon came. ‘ Silence there ! what’s the mu Iter ?’ ‘‘Matter yourself—l’m being done, or as some people say, I’m doing. The march of mind has tripped, and Richard Mervyn is too deep fr himself. Help me out —gently —there. Aint lin a pretty pickle ? This is what the doctors call gutta serenn, isn’t it ?’ ‘ When I wax at school the boys would have called you a guttural.’ ‘ They wouldn’t have known much gram mar, if they did.

How do you like the ups and downs of public life? Isn’t variety charming?’ ‘ If it wasn’t that I’m a public functionary, and musn’t give way to niv feelings, I’d crack your cocoa, and ease my mind by doing as I was done by.

I was passing you hox in a friendly promiscu ous sort of a way, I thought you were asleep, or had run down, and I turned the key to wind you up.

That’s all. ft grew out of my obliging disposition.’ ‘Ha ! very obliging. Now it’s my turn to wind you up, and, to do it in the same way. I'il take you before the watch maker to be cleansed and regulated. You go too fast, but I’!! put a spoke in your wheel; he’ll set you bv the State House, and make you keep good time.’ ‘ Why, wafc'iy, you’re a wag. Why don’t you say that I was a horizontal, and that you lifted me up like a patent lever? You’re awake now ; but that night you wasn’t up to trap, or you would have caught mo ; I caught a weazle asleep that time—l put fresh salt on you for once.’ To add one more to his vagaries, Merrvn now refused to walk a step further; and sit ting down on a step, loudly avowed hi.s rey>- lution, and declared his name was not. Walker. ‘ Whether your name is Walker or not, von must go.’ ‘ Not without a go cart—you can’t force me to go—i’m a legal tender, and you must take me. Havn’t I got an office, or at least a public situation, here on the steps? If 1 most go, it snail he on Ihe vankee principle of rotation; bring me a wheelbarrow.

THE SOLDIER’S REVEL AND THE SOL DIER’S WIFE. Mr. Stephens, in his Incidents of Travel, gives the following sketch of a bacchanalian scene among tiie Bava inn soldiers, which be witnessed in the loeanda , at Megara, in Greece: About ten o clock Iw r as mused bv the loud roar ol a chorus, not like a sudden burst, but a thing that seemed to have swelled up to ihot point by degrees ; and rubbing mv eves, and stumbling down stairs. I entered the ban quelng ball; a long, rough wooden table ex fended the whole length of the room, supplied ! uith my two articles, wine-flagons and to bacco-pouches ; Ibrty or fifty soldiers were sitting round it, smoking pipes and sin T in fr tvith all their souls, and, at the moment fen tered, waving their pipes to the dying cadence 1)1 a hunting chorus. Then followed a loner thump on the table, and they all rose; mv long travelling friend, with a young soldier who spoke a little French, came up, and, es corting me tt the head of the table, gave me a seat bv the side of the chairman. One of them attempted to administer a cup of wine, ami the other thrust at me the end of a pipe, and I should have been obliged to kicn and abscond hut lor the relief a (lorded me bv the entrance of another new-comer. This was no oilier than the corporal’s wife; and, if I had been received warmly, she was greeted with enthusiam. Half the table sprang for ward to escort her ; two of (hern collared the President and hauled him off his seat, and the whole company, by acclamation, installed tier in his place. She accepted it without any hesitation, while two of them, with clum sy courtesy, took off her bonnet, which I, sitting at her right hand, took charge of. All then resumed their places, and the revel went oh more gaily than ever. The lady Presi dent was about thirty, plainly but neatlv dres sed, and though not handsome, had a frank, amiabie, and good-tempered expression, indi cating die greatest of woman’s attributes, a good heart. In fact she looked, what the young man at mv side told me she was, (he peace-maker of the regiment: and, he added, they always tried to have her at their convi vial meetings, lor when she was arnonc ihem the brawling spirits were kept down, and every man would he ashamed to quarrel in her presence. There was no chivalry, no heroic devotion among them, but their man ner toward her was as pp * - w,x. pa j ( | to , hfl influence of woman, and I question wnether beauty in her bower, surrounded by belted knights and barons bold, ever exercised in her more exalted sphere a more happy influence. I talked with her, and with the utmost simp'icity she told me that the soldiers all loved her: that they were all kind to her, and she looked upon them all as brothers. Wc broke up at about twelve o’clock wiih a song, requiring each person to take the hand of his neighbor; one of her hands fell 10 me, and I took it with a respect seldom surpassed in touching the hand f woman ; lor I felt that she was cheering the rough path of a soldier’s life, and, among scenes calculated to harden the heart, remind ing them of mothers, and sisters, and sweet hearts at home. A most hum&rous circumstance. —Yesterday, our turf market was thrown into a state of confusion by Gallagher, the ventrilloquist, who, in order to gratify some friends with a joke, caused the ass of a turf-seller of the name of Pat Jennings, to be very eloquent. It appears that Mr. G. was buying the turf, when the ass suddenly cried— ‘ Pat, I’m con founded hungry.’ Jennings instantly got into a state of the greatest agitation, and blessed himself over and over. ‘What can this mean?’ asked Gallagher; ‘I don’t know, plnse your honor, for I nivir heard him spake either En glish or Irish before ; the Lord betune us and harm,’ continued Pat, ‘ I will leave him f upon saying which the ass snorted, ar.d again said, ‘ I’m growing mad with hunger.’ Poor Pat roared and fell upon his knees, and had a crowd about him, and Ihe ass was so fright ened that lie scampered down the street ; and raft J; limn gs to ffivs louiuem wo mu lit) i, nu love or money, take home ihe sagacious ass. Gallagher and his friends thought it prudent at this crisis to cut. — Galloway Adv. Loafer Anecdote. —While we were enjoying a glass yesterday afternoon, m one of our coflee houses, there came in a loafer, who was all pinched up with the cold, and looked as if he really wanted some stimulus to make himself comfortable. Going up to the bar, in a great hurry, he threw down a bit, (the only one he had, perhaps,) and bawled out; ‘ Give me a glas3-of brandy.’ The person in attendance poured into a. tumbler the usual quantity, and placed it on the counter. The loafer took-it, kinked at it a second or two, and then said, m a gruff voice: ‘I say, Mister! Do you call that a fair horn ?’ ‘ Yes, I do.’ ‘ You do, eh ?’ ‘ Yes, sir.’ ‘ Well if you no, I Dorr’f !’ said the loafer, at the same instant seizing the bottle, anil pouring out as much more. Having done this, he set the bottle down again, and then at ‘ one fell swoop’ tossed off his double allowance and made for the door, exclaiming, as he went out, ‘ I'm no half measure man, myself /’— JV. O. Sun. Betting.— The English are, emphatically speaking, a sporting nation. Hunting and racing constitute the most favorite amuse ments of the higher classes, while those who are too poor to own packs of hounds, or fuff blooded racers, content themselves with the humane amusement of boxing, hear huntings badger hunting, See., while matches against time fiil up the interstices of their leisure mo ments. Hence, betting is an amusement in which an Englishman delights. Ji is almost the only argument which he uses—for he is always ready to back his opinion with a bet— a custom which, although it may seem strange and nnenurteous to a stranger, saves a vast deal of time and temper in logical discussions. A gentleman belonging to tins vicinity, blessed with a good constitution, which he had douht l:>ss irnp'ved by his pedestrian habits, visited England not long sine- —and while sojourning in London, he seldom employed a carriage, but amused him elfby making daily pedestri an excursions to the neighboring villages and towns, until his fondness for walking, and the apparent ease with which lie passed over the ground, caused him to be waited on by 3 committee from a sporting dub, who in a very respectful manner informed him that a match had been made between him afld- a noted pedestrian for 100 Z. and begging hint to he in readiness to come on to the ground on the Thursday of the following week. Our American friend felt somewhat indignant at first, at being mistaken lor a sporting adven turer, and dismissed the commi.tec rather un ceremoniously—but he afterwards laughed heartily at the adventure, when he found that it forcibly illustrated a national irait in Ihe English character. — MercantUe Journal.
