Each radiant star peeps down. From the clear dome that’s canopied ahove And passing breezes sound, Like music from the spirit world of love. Oh, holy hour of rest! When from the weary world’s tempestuous strife The care-worn, anxious breast, Endures no more the pains and woes of life. And dreams of childhood’s home Fill the fond bosom, with a keen delight; And o’er the spirit come Thoughts of some loved one far —and visions bright. And yet how brief the hour, That hope its golden pinions round us spread ; How-soon the tempests lower, •And our bright dreams and visions all are fled. Youth’s fondest joys are nought But nameless shadows flitting o’er the waste ; And manhood’s hopes are fraught With bitter dregs, the soul is loth, to taste. This short, lone hour of re9t Is sweet unto the soul, like dreams of heaw’.m It comes to hearts distressed ! As some fair-minister of peace ’tis'giv’n! The shades of ev’ning fall, Like dew-drops melting from the throne of love; And the night voices call Us back from earth and turn our thoughts above. At such an hour to die,. To breathe the soul out on some true, fond breast \To quit this world and-fly >- ' Back where the weary spirit seeks its rest, Were all the heart could crave, Save that which still is our great wish to share. A calm and peaceful grave With but one friend to pause and linger there. Lancaster, Jan. 12, 1848. . [Selected j The Answered Prayer. I prayed for BEAVTYr—for the magic Bpell That binds the wisest syith its potent thrall, That I within fond human hearts might dwell, And shine the fairest in the festive hall. I would have seen the lordliest bend the knee, The loveliest bow, o’erdazzled by my charms; While he I long, had vainly loved —ah A^, Subdued, should clasp me fondly in his arms! But Beauty o’er my spirit waved her wing, Yet shed no brightness on my form or face: And passing years but darker shadows fling Upon the cheek where care hath left its trace. My prayer, if heard in heaven, hath been denied ; No heart bows humbly ’neath my sway; And he I loved now seeks a fairer bride, With brighter blushes and a smile more gay. I prayed for Riches. Oh! for lavish wealth, To pour in golden showers on those I loved : I would have gladly spent my youth and health, Could I, by gifts like these, my love have proved. 1 prayed for riches, that before God’s shrine I might with gifts and costly tribute.kneel; And thought the treasures ofGolconda’s mine Too poor to show the fervor of my zeal. Alas! wealth e.amc not; and the liberal deeds My heart devised, my hand must fail to do ; And though o’er prostrate truth my spirit bleeds, In vain the aid of magic' gold I woo. ~ The poor may plead.to me for daily food, And those 1 love in daily want may pine; I will pour out for them my heart’s warm blood. But other gifts than this can ne'er be mine.! I prayed for. Genius— for the power to move Hard hearts, and reckless minds.and stubborn To execute the deeds of holy love, ‘[wills. And light .Truth's fire upon a thousand.hills.. I prayed for! Eloquence to plead the cause Of human rights and God's eternal £race ; To cry aloud, o’er Mercy’s outraged laws, And speed the great redemption of my race. But all in vain. My feeble tongue can breathe No portion of the fire that burns within ; In vain my fancy vivid thoughts may wreathe In scorching flames to vanquish human sin. powerless my words upon the air float bv, And wrong and crime disdain,the weak crusade ; While vice gleams on me its exultant eye, And bids me show the conquests'! have made. ! prayed for Peace—for strength to bear The keen privations of ray humble fate; For patient faith to struggle with despair, And shed a brightness o’er my low* estate’. .1 prayed to be content with humble deeds, With widow’s mites,’’ and humble charities, To follow meekly where my duty leads, s Though through the lowliest vale of life it lies. TAt«i prayer was answered ;• for a peace divine Spread through the inmosfrdepths of all my-heart; I felt that that same blessed lot was- mine Whicli fell on-her-.who chose the better- p:#t.

TbeMafl—TbePost Office. 1 la these two.national conveniences axe. centered as many, hopes and fears, anxieties and regrets, sor rows. and joys to the components,of ( a community, as .minds and. hearts are various, or as circumstances and fortunes are susceptible .of vicissitudes.. The first.is the. courier that blears in its chained foldings the tidings of thousands; thela3t is thesilent but faith ful herald that dispenses’to the anxious multitude the fulfilment or disappointment of their hopes; that crushes or elevates; their sensibilities; or in volves in still more heart-sickening vagueness and suspense, the long looked for eclairciasement of doubts and mysteries. Who does not at the distant sound of the mail bugle,; become hushed, and bless the messenger-breeze, that bears along the dyingj rilurmurs of its first faint strains ? Who does not, when the near and hoarse blast falls upon his ear, feel the anxious tide of feeling and expectation, rush in upon his shut, as if harrowed up by the thunders or pathos'of eloqtierice? Who does not, while impatiently waiting the opening contents, feel his nerves twitch, his heart beat arid his whole soul absorbed and excited in the progressive devel opment of letters, pjapers,’sealed packages, &c.. &c. And who does not, when'the negative noil is given in reply to his inquiries for letters, feel the dull re flux of disappointed expectation settling on his heart and chilling hia Jegvent sympathies? It is well worth while of the observant, in search of variety and amusement, to stand and watch the goers and comers, at our Post-Office, and mark the varied characteristics of the multitude, as their ex pectations are realized" or disappointed—to watch the feverish flush oFhope, and the pale revulsion of despair, as they rise and roll backward upon the countenance. A single" hour of observation will unfold to the eye more of human passion, and ' human sensibility, than an age of casual observa tion in the ordinary scenes of life. For occasional moments passed within the Post Office, we have been amply compensated!' The internally anxious, but placid faced politi cian came here to receive dispatches,' the import of which was to expand to stilt wider dimensions or burst the bubble of his' brief authority, at once. He received with a greedy grasp the parcel directed to his name, and j*azcd_w»tk «*n?dous'~s£rufmy at the .-rarious“superse riptions, if possible to identify the hand writing before the seals were burst. The varied hues of gratified or disappointed solicitude, could be traced over the lines of his countenance, as tlie contents coincided or were adverse to his views and expectations. The smile of exultation, and %cb\vl of displeasure, succeeded each other by turns j/itil the packages had severally received a glance; when they were re-folded, and the same quiet suavity of aspect* returned, and he commenced greeting his by-standing fellows, with the well di rected shafts of affected civility and politeness. “Is there a letter for —, n said a little girl who apparently liad been sent by her motherto re ceive the long expected epistle. “ No letter for replied the clerk. * “It never will come,*’ rejoined phe, gathering over her shoulders the negligently adjusted shawl, as she descended the step and returned to report to her family the blank intelligence. “ Has the Eastern Mail arrived 1 ” inquired a blustering man of business, who was waiting for in telligence relative to the price of pot or pearl ashes, the rise or fall of wheat and flour, and the general prospects of trade, before he could fully adventure the half formed speculation. “It will be in, in a few moments,” replied the clerk. With this answer the satisfied man turned on his heels and departed. “ Anything for Horatio Tristam Tightlace, Esq.” ejaculated a gaunt frizzed starveling of an exquisite. “Who, sir?”-said tne clerk. “Horatio Tristam Tigbtlace, sir.” Nothing for Mr. Tightlace, sir” “That is d—— d strange too,” ‘muttered he. fin gering and adjusting the projecting corners of his dickey, and left the room. / . “Is the mail in from the west/ asked a man with both hands quietly reposed within his pockets, and who seemed to have no other motive for the enquiry than to ask questions. “No mail from the west "yet, air.” ■■ Will yoM-look for letters directed'to Miss Lu cretia ■■/'said a delicate voice with music enough in it to have elicited a reply from the epis tles themselves, there been any. •• “There is nothing for Miss Lncretia'-■ -"'an swered the respectful clerk. A tremor of anxiety slightly shook the frame of the fair querist during the search; and when the negative was given, her ‘appearance indicated a half incredulity as the correctness of the answer. The flush of anticipa tion .forsook her cheek, and with a marble counte nance she continued gazing through the aperture, ■ for the. delivery of letters, as it’ the place could not be left, without the expected package, until the tin .announcing the distribution of the mail from the' cast fell, extinguishing the lust glimmering of hope, arising.from unbelief. With a swollen bosom, and. trembling step, she left the/office,-casting a “long ing lingering look bdhindf A pause how succeeded, while, the contents of the mail were being arranged for 1 delivery, and the fast gathering and impatiently / watching groups testified to the importance attached to the - intelli gence of which it might be tlje ' bearer. Those who would, took a stand in frontdf their respective boxes, to l>e the first beholders of whatever was 7 superscribed to themI—others 1 —others stood mute, arid mu sing and a third portion, banishing persona] anxie ty, discussed the politics of the day. Among die throng, there’wasone,wh6from day* to day had' been'' observed Urging his inquiries at each return of the may, but his spirits had so often beeii subjected to the damps of disappointment, that the halo which enrobed the features of the many,' had entirely, forsaken his countenance, and appa rently he came now from the force of habit; rather than from a hope of receiving the long expected dis patches of friends arid kindred far away/ He was' a.stranger \ and held nV communiqn' with .those around him.

Horatio Tristara Tightlace, Ekj.,'oncc more made his appearance, and with ungloved hands received the gilt letter sheet arid departed.—-The little girl returned, and ran home with infantile glee and alacrity to-exhibit her success and give >joy to her family. Innumerable applications were made— the successful were voluptuous in their joy, and the unsuccessful went their- way, some with downcast looks, others with a half affected and half felt in difference. . When the call of the last one had been answered, the stranger raised, his eyes and advanced‘slow ly towards the counter. .There appeared an unwilling ness even in this—his desire seemed seemed; to be not to learn if there toere letters for him, but if.tbere were none. Letters he knew he ought to have, but he dreaded to cherish a hope that there were any, when he felt that a repetition of bitter disappoint ments was all that awaited him. A slight convul sion was observable in his frame, as his eyes be came fastened upon the initials designating the box, where letters directed to his and similav names were placed. Tt had.been empty for, several dayrj biit now two folded sheets were there which no owners had claimed. A deeper hectic of hope and fear played on his palid "features as he bent a more earnest gaze at the parcel within—but still he re mained silent. The excited glimmer which had found a place within his bosom, was contending with the settled chill of despair. It was the ban ishment of this last spark, which had arisen in his breast, that he dreaded ; he was was willing that it should remain there, and feared the consequences of its annihilation. At length—he .-attempted to titsvoFce~was choked—the hectic upon his-cheek ran backward anil changed to a deadly, pale—he raised his arm and convulsively pointed to the box; —speak he could not—the ague of feel ing was fast overcoming him. The clerk’under stood him, and from frequent inquiries remembered his name. He raised and handed the letters—it was the wished for superscription—thcremembered handwriting. In an ecstacy of joy he kissed it, tore asunder the seal, and over the contents wept out the contending tides of emotion. He was happy. Cl&eesc vs. Cannon Shot* Tne greatest ammunition that we have heard of lately, was used by the celebrated Commodore Coe, of the Montevidean Navy, who, in an “engagement with Admiral Brown, of the Buenos Ayrean ser vice, fired every shot from his lockers. “ What shall we do, air l" asked his first lieuten ant ; “ we’ve not a single shot aboard—round, grape, canister, and double headed, are all gone." “ Powder gone, eh V' asked Coe. “No, sir, got lots of that yet.’’ “We had a confounded hard cheese—a round Dutch one, for desert at dinner today, don't you re member it .r said Coe.. . . . .. „ “ I ought to—l broke the carving knife in try ing to cut it, sir/’ “ Are there any more aboard Y\ “ About two dozen—we took ’tan from a. drog- Will they go into the 18 pounders?” ■ “By thunder, Commodore, but that’s the„ idea. I ll try them,” cried, the first luff \ And iu a few minutes the old “Santa. Maria,” (Coe's ship,) Avhich had ceased entirely, was re opened, and Admiral Brown found more shot flying over his head. Directly one of them struck his main-mast, and as it did so shattered and flew in every direction. “What the devil is that which the emtmy is fir ing?'' asked Brown—but nobody could tell. Directly another one came in through a. port and killed two, men who stood near him ; then stri king the opposite bulwarks, burst into Aimers. “By Jove, this is too much; this is some new fangled PaLxan or^other—l don’t like ’em at all! ’ cried Brown; and then as four- or five more of them came slap through the sails, he gave the order to fill away and actually hacked out ofthe fight, receiving a parting broadside of Dutch cheese. This-is ail actual fact, our. informant, was the first lieutenant of Coe’s ship.— Monitor. Striktxo a Balance.— Curran, when master of the rolls in Ireland, was going orie day to a levee at'the castle. There was a great press o'f carria ges, when, all at once, he was startled by the pole of the carriage which followed him. crashing 5 through the-back of his. He hastily put his head out of the coach windowferying to his coachman,' i; Stop, stop, the pole of the ■carriage behind is driv en into us!” “Arrah! then it’s all right again, your honor." said Vat exultingly, u for I*ye just* druv my; pole into the carriage before.” This as a sampicof an Irish bull,' Curran use<f to r cVe a's feet. - Old U.
