I never gaze upon thy form,
Or mark thy soft blue eye,
Where “floats a dream of loveliness,
Pure, passionate, and h!igh,”
But that my heart must thrill with jov,
And flutter with delight;,
To view thy spotless innocence.
In childhood’s sunny light.
0 ! could I craVe a boon for thee
The earth can never give,
It would not be a worldly, crown,
For which so many live ;
But it would be a spotless life
Of innocence and peace,
Such as would gain, for thee a home
Where bliss shall never; cease.
A thorny maze, my lovely boy,
Thy destiny may be,
From which a father’s tender care
Gan never rescue thee,!
But could my wishes be obtained,
Thy pathway should bel free
From all corroding griefs land cares
That have surrounded me. ,
]
As time shall wing its onward flight,
’Twill change that rosy] gleam
Which lingers on thy. parian brow,
In childhood’s pleading] dream.: ,
Thy sparkling eye may'yet be dimm’d
With grief’s unbidden tear, f
Where no fond mother’s dear carecs,
Or father’s smile can cheer.
Though now thou’lt fondly cling:to me,
My little smiling boy: ;
Thou hast a place within my heart,
None else could e’er enjoy. .
Then as thy.fleeting moments pass,
May love and joy be ihinc
Around one altar may wo kneel,
And worship'at one shrine.
There is still a more pleasing thought—
Entranced upon mv heart, 1
That though on earth we separate,
* And from each other part,
There is a place of endless bliss
Where we may.meet again,
To join the chorus of the skies
In heaven’s sweetest strain !

And place the stamp of enduring form
On'Poets airy strain.

Ever limned in Printer’s dream, -

Co-operation of the Wife. —There is much
good sense and truth in the remark of a modem
author, that no man ever prospered in the world
without the co-operation- of his'wife. If she
unites in mutual endeavors, or rewards his labor
with an endearing smile, with what confidence will
he merchandise or his farm, flyover
lands, s&uPrpon the seas, .meet difficulty or encoun
ter danger, if he knows,hoj is not spendinghis
strength in vain, but that Kip labor will be. rewar
ded by the sweets of home! j Solitude and disap
pointment enter the history: of every 7 man's life;
and he is but half provided lor hist voyage who
finds* but an associate for happy hours, while for
his months of darkness ami distress no sympathi
zing partner is. prepared.,.
. Doing Goon.-— How often do we sigh for oppor-
doing good, whilst we neglect the open
ings of providence in. little things which would
frequently, lead to .the accomplishment of most im
portant usefulness! Dr. Johnson used *to say—
“He who waits tp do a great deal of good at once
will never do any.;’. Good is done by: degrees.—
However small in proportion the benefit which fot
lows iiuh'viilual attempts to do good, 'a great .deal
may.thus be .accomplished by perseverance,, , even
in the jmidst of discouragements and disappoint
ments.;!. _ _ . _

Miscellaneous.
It'is amaaing to observe how little mankind
know of each other, iilthotfgh the vanity of human
nature whispers everyr distinguished person, that
his Jame is. or will one'day be universal. The
myriads of Asia and Africa, with a few solitary
exceptions, never heard 'ot tire illustrious heroes,
statesmen, poets, and philosophers of Europe: and
a vast portion of the inhabitants of the latter, are
ignorant oi the very names of the great men of.
.the east. But instead of an essay, we will give
our readers a story to illustrate our meaning.
It happened once ou a time, that an Israelite, an
Egyptian, a Greek, a Turk, a Persian, a Chinese, a
Frenchman, an Englishman, a German, an Italian,
and an American, met by chance at a caravansary,
somewhere in the east, and being all great travel
lers, speaking many languages, entered into conver
sation with each other. As usual, they all differed
in their estimate of human happiness; the com
parative-value of; the various enjoyments of lift—
and, above all, in their own individual importance,
in the scale,of nations. Each one held uphis own
country as the acme of perfection; and the utmost.
he would allow the others, was a degree of merit
exactly corresponding with .their approach towards
the infallible standard of his own self-importance.
“The Israelites, 1 ' said, the'Jew, “ were the chosen
people; Therefore they must be the most true and
virtuous of mankind.”
“ The Greeks,'’ exclaimed the Athenian, •• were
the brightest face that ever adorned, the world.—
Look attheir laws, their literature, and their arts.”
: “ Pooh !” cried the Egyptian, “ you had nothing
but what you stole from us. You were ignorant
barbarians, and so would have remained, if your
wise men, as you call them, had not come to Egypt
to learn their. A B C.”
“By your leave,” said the Persian, “ the natives,
of Irak being the most ancient people of the earth,
must have been the parents of all human knowl
edge.”
. “Hi Yah!” quoth the Chinese, “ every body
knows my nation is the most ancient by at least
forty thousand years, and that the foreign barba
rians derived all their knowledge from them."
“Mashallah!” said the Turk, taking his pipe
from his mouth, — t; Mashallah! there is no religion
but that of Mahomet, and no knowledge but that
of the Koran. The Israelites are tekou/outs, the
Christians are dogs, and there is no truth but amoyg
the followers of rhe prophet.”
“Peste!" cried the Frenchman, —“there is no
body knows the true art of living but the French.”
“There is no nation whose music is not intolera
ble, but the Italian,” said the Neapolitan.
“ The Germans are all philosophers,” quoth the
native of Weimar.
Yes, but England, old England, 51 cried John
Bull, -is the country roast beef and freedom,
nobody can deny l that.”
“I do," exclaimed the Yankee, —“The Ameri
cans are the only free people in the world.”
“Mashallah !'whence did you come?" asked the
Turk.
“ From the New World."
*• I never heard of it befoie," said the Turk.
• l Nor I," said the Persian.
“ Nor I,’’ said the Egyptian.
‘••Nor I,” said the Chinese. “ I don't believe
there is any such place;"
“ Nor I,? ! said the Turk.— u There is but one
world, one God, and Mahomet is his prophet.”

Astonishing Accuracy of the Bible.
An astonishing feature of the word of God is,
notwithstanding the time at which its compositions
were written,, and the multitude .of the-topics to
which it alludes, there is not one physical error—
not one assertion or allusion, disproved by the pro
gress of modem science. None of those mistakes
which the science of each succeeding age discovert
ed in the books preceding; above all, none of those
absurdities which modern astronomy indicates in
such great numbers in the writings of the ancients
—in their sacred codes—in their philosophy, and
even in the finest pages of th.e fathers of the church
—not one of these errors is to be found in any of
our sacred books. Nothing there will ever contra
dict that which, after so many ages, the investiga
tion of the learned world have been able to reveal
to us on the state of our globe, or on that of the
heavens. Peruse with care/ our Scriptures from
one end to the other, tofmd there such spots, and,
whilst you apply yoiifselves to this examination,
remember that it is a book which speaks of every
thing, which describes nature, which recites its cre
ation, which tells us of the water, of the atmos
phere, of the mountains, of the animals, and oi
the plants. It is a book which teaches us the first
revolutions of the world ; and which also foretells
its last. It recounts them in the circumstantial
language of history, it extols them in thesublimest
strains of poetry, and it chants them in the charms
of glowing song. It is a book which is full of
.oriental rapture, elevation, variety and boldness.—
It is a book which speaks of the heavenly and in
.visible world, whilst it-also speaks of theearth and
things visible. It is a book which nearly fifty wri
ters of every degree of cultivation, of every state,
of every condition and living through the course
of fifteen hundred years, have concurred to make.
It is a.hopk which was written in the centre of
Asia, in the sands of Arabia, in the deserts of
Judea, in the court of the temple of the Jews, in
the music; schools of the prophets of Bethel and
Jericho, in the sumptuous palaces of Babylon,- and
on the idolatrous banks of Chebar; and finally, in
the centre of the Western civilization, in the midst
of the Jews and of their ignorance, in the midst of
polytheism and its sad philosophy. It is a book
whose first writer had been forty years a pupil of
the magicians of Egypt, in whose opinion the sun,
the stars, and elements were endowed with intelli
gence, re-acted on the elements, and governed the
world by a perpetual illuvium. It is a book whose
first writer preceded, by more than nine hundred
years, the most ancient philosophers of ancient
Greece and Asia—the Thalesa, and the Pythagora
ses, the Zulucuses, the Xenophons, and the Confu
ciuses. It is a book which carries its narrations
even to the hierarchies ol angels—even to the most
distant epochs of the future, and the glorious scenes
of the last day. Well-, search among ita Co au
thors', search among its GO books, its 1,1 SO chap
ters, and its H I,7in verses, search*for only one of
those thousand errors which the ancient and mod

ments ; search—but you will find none.

Lpt no man ..dare, l am dead, to charge’

•by believing thafT could'have engaged in any cause
•but .that.of my country.,. Let no. man write ray
epitaph.” -*j ...
Such was the noble and . patriotic language of
thatmartyr to. Irish Liberty, Robert Emmet. In
hirfast moments, he made a burning and eloquent
before his God and the tyrannical “Lord”
who sentenced him, which, to this day, causes the
heart of every Irishman to beat'with indignation
against that country which consigned ; him to an
early grave. • Willing and proud to die for his
country, and hi,s country only, he wished to leave
behind him the only legacy he could leave—a repu
tation for patriotism unstained with suspicion—-an
untarnished name for love of country and that lib
erty he sought so ardently to obtain for his breth
ren. But knowing that no one who knew his
motives could dare vindicate them then, he asked
the silence of the world until after-ages could do
him and his character justice. He desired his
tomb to be unlettered with anything but his own
humble name, until posterity could engrave thereon
a tablet worthy of his memory.
Fix your eye and mind for a moment upon
Thomas Corwin. Can he say, in the language of
the immortal. Emmett, “let no man dare, when I
am dead, to charge me with dishonor?” Can he,
when his head is white with the age of years, and
his limbs tremble with the weight of many winters,
claim to have led the life of a true patriot ? No!
In after year's 1 , when the finger of scorn points to
him as a Traitor to his country, and singles him
out as one who ; declared to our soldiers in a foreign
land, that he w’ould neither clothe nor feed them,
he will feel that he is detested by all honorable and
patriotic men. ‘ When he the solemn truth
cast into the teeth of his children's children, that
he denounced our brave volunteers as “ Robbers
and Murderers, turn he will feel that ho credit of
the true.patriot belongs to Aim.
Can Corwin exclaim: “ let no man attaint my
memory by believing that I could have engaged in
any cause but that of my country?” Nqf If he
did, one thousand voices would arise from .the pat
riot graves, upon the bloody field of Buena Vista,
to reprove him for. his treachery. The sand hills
of Vera Cruz, the heights of Cerro Gordo, the bat
tlements of Contreras w’ould answer: “Your mem
ory' shall be attainted. You told the Mexicans to
‘welcome us with bloody hands to hospitable
graveshalf The blame cjf our death rests upon
your head.” Oh, we would not descend to the
grave with the sin and treason of Tom Corwin
upon our head for one-half the possessions -of the
entire w'orld. We w'ould not for all the world, that
our ancestors had so disgraced themselves and the
land that gave them birth..
Should the tomb of Corwin be • unlettered ?
Should his epitaph remain unwritten? No! Let
his infamy be known to the country and the people,"
It is written already—written on the pages of his
country’s history—written in the records of the
United States Senate—written on 1 the minds of the
American army and in the hearts of the American
people. Upon the white marble of his tomb should
be engraven:
HEBE LIE THE UEMAINS •

Tlic Frowning Scene in the Court
Martial.
The “frowning down” of Geii. Kearney by Col.
Benton, in the Fremont Court Martial, was decided
ly a rich affair. We say nothing of the success of
Col. B. He says he succeeded—Gen. K. says he did
not. But we speak of the “ attempt and not the
deed,” when\vesay,itwas “decidedly rich,” but was
not--.original. A scene in Pickwick, it has been
suggested, furnished the hint. We quote as fol
lows :
‘Sir,’ said Mr; Tupman, ‘you are a fellow.”
« Sik,’ said Mr. Pickwick, * you are another.’
Mr.'-Tupman advanced a step or two, and glared
at Mr; Pickwick. Mr. Pickwick returned the glare,
the glare concentrated with a focus, by means of his
spectacles, and breathed a bold defiance !
‘ Sir,’ said Mr. Tupman, after a short pause, speak
ing in a deep, low voice, ‘you have called me old.’
• ‘ 1 have,’ said Mr. Pickwick. r
‘And fat.’
‘ I reiterate the charge.*
‘And a follow.’ .
‘ So you are !’•
There was.a fearful pause.
‘ \ly attachment to your person,’ said Mr. Tup
man, speaking in a voice tremulous with emotion,
‘is great, very great, but upon that person 1 must
take summary vengeance.’
hut here was ''talking'’ as well us “looking," and
the closing threat of Mr. Tupman is u feature which
was not in the Court Martial scene.
There in unother example of-looking down,"
and is to bo found in Oliver Twist, where humble,

“ Mr. Buniblo turned and encountered the fiico of
his interesting consort, who, imperfectly compre
hending the'few words she had heard of his com
plaint, Lad hazarded a remark os a venture.
‘Mrs. Bumble, ma’am!’ said Mr. Bumble, with
sentimental sternness.
• Well,’ cried the lady.
< Have the goodness to look at me,’ said Mr. Bum
ble, fixing his eyes upon her.
‘ If she stands such an eye as that,’ said Mr.
Bumble to himself,‘she can stand everything. It
is an eye I never knew to fail with paupers, and if
it fails with her, my powerns gone.’
Whether an exceedingly small expansion of eye
is sufficient to quell paupers, who, being lightly fed,
are in no very high condition, or ; whether the late
Mrs. Corney was particularly proof against eagle
glances, are; matters of opinion. ' The matter of fact
is .that the matron was in no way. overpowered by
Mr. Bumble's scowl, but on the contrary, treated
it with great disdain, and even raised a laugh threat,,
which sounded as though it were genuine.” t ‘- «• j
Dickens invests Sam Tappertit with a similar 3
faculty of vision, a 3 will be seen by the following
passage-from Barnahy Rudge:
“ ‘ He’s got his eyes on me !.’ cried Stag* stopping
short on his way back, and affecting to screen his
face with the bottle. ‘ I feel ’emthough I can’t see
’em. Take ’em off, noble captain. Remove ’em
for they pierce like gimlets.’ Mr. Tappertit smiled
grimly at bis comrade, and twisting out one more
look—a kind of ocular screw—under the influence
of which the blind man feigned to undergo great
anguish him, in a softened tone,
