But sorrow brosded in the eyes With }of so vjrpnt to beam,'' As tearfullyshe mused upon A strange, mysterious dream, A vague; unearthly dream. And, leaning 6tan the casement now, She hears tho watchman’s cry, And sees the . fair Atlautados Look softly from the sky; -Then, with clasped bands and trembling lips, She murmured tenderly, u Ob, Pilate, Would that I could feel, That all;were well with thee, forever well With thee, “Shall I wake thee but to poor ThU vision in thine ear, And meet thy smile, when I shall say I know hot what I fear? i No, slumber on 11 will not break The rest thou peedost so, Though heavy on my heart there lies The sense of coming woe! Some new, uhfathumod woe! “Once more I’ll :seek my conch, and hope That ere the coming day, < These haunting; .phantom fears shall be Forever fled aifay 1” Her bead is on file pillow pressed, Her dork eyes:oloscd, and then, Far through themyutic realms of deep Her spirit strays again, Wondoringly strays again— And sees the earth all beautiful, As fresh Irom the chaos burst, And the deep lovely, os the fiord Moved on its Waters first. While man, arrayed with innocence In a most blest abode, "Where lengthening shadows softly crept, Could walk, and talk wlthGod, E’en, with .the internal God. And next she scSe, where on that sceuo A mournful change hath been- For midst the peace of Paradise The hideous form of sin Hod come,; in serpent guise' and waited The element of strife. And Eden banished man had dared To spill the stream of life. E’en takohis brother's life. Then jean of darkness followed years Of darkness, age on age, Till earthly life bat seemed to man - A dismal heritage, Bot for the hope, by prophets song, Of One, whoso arm to save Was mighty,-e’eh to conquer sin, And triumph o’er the grave, - Could taste, hut spurn the grave. Then brightly, brightly rose a star — Star of the heavenly morn— And music-breathi&g words satfg sweet, . “The blessed tiabe is born.” The skies grew beautifoj, the air x Was swept by angel’s wings, As lordlier music, wakening, Proclaimed bltn Kings of kings, God’s Sou, anc| King of kings. And then she sees a meek-browed man Tile plains ofjndnh tread, His life is fore, yet has he not Whereon to lay his head; He heals the side, bestows the gift, Of sight to sightless men, Has walked the waters, and recalled . t 1 The dead to life again, To mortal life again. Has tanght pew-doctrines, and proclaimed The reign of Christ begun, ■ While Cod’s own voles' has raid to him, “My well-beloved Son!" And yet, what scoffers round him crowd; E’en at this hoar they cry, “False prophet ivjle blaspheming end ’Tis time that thou shouldst did 0 Pilate, let him die.” She starts, she wakes; this is no dream— “My hujiband, where is he ?- Gone, then away my messenger, And tell him .this for me, With Jesus in tby trial hall. Who waits his doom from thee. Thou must have naught to do; 'twos so Beyealejl in dreams to me, In trontiled dreams to me. But PUate’s words arc written now, .

Thy Saviour's blessed name,' • Matthew, xxth, 19. Udeti plkdkv|. Eloquence of Henry pay, Whoever heard Mr. Clay for the first time, was almost certain to be delighted with; him without exactly knowing why.—l There was a charm about his oratory that defied analysis, and rendered sober criti oism Veil nigh impossible. You' went away too well pleased, and too full of ad miration for the man, to think of asking how he had managed for the last hour, to put* you in a rage at one moment, and make you laugh or cry the next, at will. There was something about him different from; any pthef speaker I over heard.~ Webster wasiikea steam engine for coin ccntrated power,and the rush and roar of his im ehemy>. a sort, of hu map, yplcaup. Whfip the fibres were kin dled in those cavernous eyes, he poured, forth a torrent of burning words scorch ing and scathing all before it. Calhoun {IftDEPENDEfcT IN fcYERYXHING.] was the vpry genius of abstract , reasoning, calmly and deliberately adding lipk after*, link to the iron chain of hislogic, till'the hearer fell down, at the end, boupd hand and foot in the unyielding meshes of an irresistible necessity. But Clay’—when be mounted the rostrum a universal smile illuminated men’s faces, and they looked at one another with an expression which said plainer than words, “Glad to see you, Mr. Clay. Begone, dull care! We’re going to have a good time. This heavy work is over at last. Business done, now comes pleasure.” “Clay,” said Gen. Jack son, in the writer’s hearing, “is the most plausible speaker that ever opened his mouth in a public assembly. If you lis ten to him, he will make you believe any thing be pleases.” This, from an enemy, was not meant for praise, but to the fact Old Hickory was willing to testify. “flush, Mr. Clay is going to address the jury.” X looked at those two gentlemen with soihe interest, for a fellow-being was on trial before them for his life, accused of a most atrocious murder.’ Heavy, sub stantial-looking citisens they were—rather dull, I thought, and about os likely to be moved by an appeal to their feelings as the stalactites in the Mammoth Cave. As Mr. Clay commenced, a friend whispered in my ear, “That villain ought to he hung, but he’s got a wife and child, and his old mother is here in court, and that’s enough for Clay ; he’ll have the jury blubbering in less than half an hour.” 1 doubted, but so it was. Those great hulking fel lows were sobbing and mobbing their fa ces at the sorrows of the prisoner’s family as depicted by the speaker, as though themselves had just lost their dearest friend. Even the court blew its nose vig orously ; for some reason, during the ap peal in behalf of the old woman, and though perfectly convinced that I was “sold” in so doing, I could not resist the epidemic, and sighed and sobbed in con cert with the bench, bar, jury and specta tors. It is needless to add that the priso ner was acquitted. Several years ago, while in the vicinity of Ashland, I called upon Mr. Clay. He was absent from home, attending a fair in the neighborhood. Being desirous of an interview, I followed him to the fair grounds, and finding him just about to ad dress the multitude, took a seat among <ihem. Directly in front of mo sat two ladies. One of them appeared to be in ill-humor for some reason, and I overheard the petulant remark, “I don’t want to hear Clay. Wonder if nobody in Kentucky can’t make a speech hut him. My hus band is a Mr. Clay proceed ed, and having occasion to refer to the do mestic'articles on exhibition, he paid the ladies some very high compliments upon their skill and industry, and in alluding to the beauty and good qualities of his fair country-women generally, said that with regard to them, as other fine fabrics, his preference was for domestic manufac tures, instead of foreign imports.’ The mingled air of gallantry and drollery of the speaker, in this part ef his address, the half jest and half earnest of his man ner, the wit, the anecdote, and the pathos as he alluded to his own advancing years and increasing infirmities, were inimitable and irresistible. 1 looked at the Demo crat’s wife. It was plain that her efforts to hate Clay had ended in a miserable fail ure.* She had been laughing and crying like the rest of us, and after the tumultu ous applause which followed the close of the address had subsided, I was surprised to hcfer her say to her female companion, “Jane, it’s no use not liking him' because he’s a Whig, is it ? I suppose John won’t like it, but I’m a going to give him my blankets. — Evangelist. Tlic Education or Ibe lleart. "Wc commend the subjoined judicious remarks from the London Quarterly Re view, to the discriminating attention and regard as well of parents as of teachers. — They contain an important principle in reference to the education of the yoiing, and one which cannot be too carefully heeded : It is the vice of the age to substitute learning for wisdom —to educate the head and to forget that there is a more impor tant education necessary for the heart.— The reason is cultivated at an age when nature does not furnish the elements nec essary to a successful cultivation of it; and the child is solicited, to reflection when he is only capable of sensation and emotion. In infancy the attention and the memory are only excited strongly .by things which impress the sense and move the heart, and a father shall instil more solid’and available instruction in ah hour spent ih the fields, where wisdom and goodnjesj are empUfied, seen and felt, than in a month spent in the study, where they are expounded in stereotype aphorisms. . “ No physician doubts that precocious children, in fifty cases for one, are much worse for the discipline they have under gone. The mind seems to have been strained, and the foundations for insahity are laid. When the ’ fer rancor years are stuffed, into t&o cbild?s head, people do not’ ieffect on the anotomieal fact that the brain of ah infant is not the brain of a man, that the one is confirmed and can exertion—the qthe£ Is giro#* ing and Spies repose j that to force 'the attention to abstract facts —to Joad the memory with chronological and historical or scientific details —in short to ; expect a child’s brain to bear with impunity the exertion of. a man’s, is just as rational as it would bo to v hazard the same sort' of ex periment on its muscles. ‘ “The first, eight or ten years of life should be devoted to the education' of the heart—to the formation of principles rath er than to the acquirement of #hkt is Usu ally termed knowledge. Nature^herself points out each a course; for the 'emotions are then the liveliest, and mOst easily moulded; being ns yet- unalloyed; by ■pas sion. It is from this source that the mass of men are hereafter to draw their, sum of happiness or misery'] the actions of the immense majority are, under alb circum stances, determined much more by feeling, than reflection in truth, life presents an infinity of occasions where it is essential to happiness that we should lecljrightly; very few where it is at all necessary that we should think profoundly. “ Up to the seventh year of life very great changes are going on in the struc ture of thebrain, and demand, therefore, the utmost attention not to interrupt them ,by improper or over. excitement. Just that degree of exercise should bo .given to the brain at this period as is necessary to its health; and the best is oral instruction, exemplified by objects which- strike the senses. “ It is perhaps unnecessary to add that at this period of , life, special attention should be given, both by parents and teaohers, to the physical developcmcht of the child. Pure air and free exercise are indispensible, and wherever either of those are withheld, the consequences: will be certain to extend theqiselvcs over the whole future life. The seeds of protrac ted and hopeless sufferings have in innu merable instances, been sown into the constitution of the child simply through ignorance of this great fundamental phys ical law j and the time has come when the united voices of these innocent victims should ascend, trumpet tougued,” to the ears of every parent and every teacher in the land. “ Give us free air auii whole some exercise; leave to develope our ex panding energies in accordance with the laws of our being; and full scope for the elastic and bounding Impulses of our young blood.” r ! ’ Tremendous Excltlment.—An El ephant Loose in the Streets. On Friday morning a tremendous ex citement was created in the lower part of Williamsburg, caused by the elephant be longing to Van Amburg’s Menagerie be coming enraged and breaking loose from his keeper. A man had been employed to bring some shavings to the Menagerie, which were brought in a wagon. The man drove into the tent, and while un loading his wagon the elephant vyas ob served to grow restless at the sight of the horse, which had a w hite blanket on. The man was advised to take his horse but before he could do so the elephant ad vanced a few stops, and knocking the mah down with a blow of his trunk, next seized the horse, by means of his truukj, injured him seriously. '{ lie next seized the wagon, throwing it up into the air and breaking it fe pieces.' II is anger was fully aroused then, and proceeding to the cage of.ihe prairie wolf, smashed it with his trunk, releasing him. Next in his way was the cage of the black bear. This cage was demolished* but the bear wa3%hoined up and could not escape. The cage of the zebra bejng next; in his way, he pushed it through the tent and, clear through the wall of a small shantyat the back of the tent. Then leaving the tent he got into the street, pursued by bis keepers and hundreds of people* nope of: whom were able to cope with the engaged elephant. He did not molest passers by*, but seemed to have a great aversion to horses, which he would pursue as rapidly as we was able, being hoppled with a chain connecting bis tusks with one. ofehis fere legs. • -7 7 He finally was driven by the crowd into, the stone yard, corner of South Fourth? and Tenth Streets, where a number of workmen were engaged in drying storey and had just placed upon wooden horses a huge stone weighing aboutfifteenhundred tons. In attempting to get but of the stone yard, the elephant got oanghibyhis chain to this stone, which checked, nun. The keepers gradually approached him with chains to fasten his legs, but it was not till ho had received several severe blows with spears that his attention could be diverted so as to render it possible io further secure him. Finally . ho was thrown down upon his side, tfhemhdlay for some time, bellowing and thrashing about him with his trunk. Application was made to thepmmbers of hook and ladder companies-1 and#, who furnished the keepers, with lon" hooks: One ofthese.was ifnw though hhe ; of his easrs and toatii the pooranimtd pain of the wound. When Wwios per fectly subdued he was heavily bound with chains and taken back to‘the Menagerie. EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. ’ lie is almost covered with wounds recent ed from the hooka and spears, and itis? not deemed hag for a jS»w days, nor would it be safe for hia keepers to approach within sight of liiiii. ■ It is a very fortunate circumstance,' that no person was killed by the elephant, pV trampled to death in the confusion toes cape.
