One flickering taper’s feeble ray
Streamed through the stately gloom,
When to and tej, with gliding tread,
A lady jkacedthe room.
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,
. Written- beyond recoil—
While notkme voice lor Jesus pleads,
In hail,
-• Save thine, 0 woman! in whose dreams
The wopdroni vision came;
But blest thou art, who in that hour
Didst own thy Saviour’s name.
Thy Saviour's blessed name,'

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

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

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.

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. As it is, the poor animal is the suf
ferer. This is ’ the largest elephant that
has been in , this part of the
countty, and is the same .that a few y«i». ;
since caused such havoc by escapingihna
his cage at Harlem. These hts of anger,. -
it is paid, occur annually, and the keepers
have for some time been expecting some
such demonstration, and'kept a more care
ful watch of him.-—iV; F. Exprtti, v
