THE RED MAN’S DREAM. The shades of eve had wrapt in gloom Each vestige of the sunny day, And flowers which did, in sweetness bloom, Stripped of their glowing beauties lay. Deep solitude now reigned supreme, No breezes cooled the sultry air; Bnt Luna shed a welcome beam And pictured all, in colors fair! Along Missouri’s verdant banks A dusky warrior lonely strayed: His mighty soul with sadness filled When that proud river he surveyed. He thought of his bright days of youth, When, sporting near its silvery tide In all the bloom of hope and truth, He stood in all his native pride! And, of those happy moments, whon With all the vigor of his race He tracked the fleet Deer through the glen, And foremost rode amidst the c/iase. But as he viewed the scene around, His anguished bosom heaved asigh, That this, their happy hunting ground, Untenanted by them must lie ! Tired of conflicting cares and strife He sank to rest beside the stream, Oblivious to the things of life He dreamed a sweet, enticing dream ! Bright Angel forms did seem to glide Before his wrapt and ’wildered sight, And fairy creatures, by his side, Were dancing with supreme delight! Missouri’s dark and mighty tide Before him seemed in joy to flow, And on its banks, stood side by side His red-browed friends ot long ago ! Tlfe Great Spirit spoke soft words of cheer Unto his now enraptured soul And bade his woes to disappear And 'round him wavoß of joy to roll. Onoe more, around the forest fire, He sung the war song of his race ; Again, with yells and whoopings dire, He hailed the trophies of the chase. Again, he roamed throughout the glade, With “Metainora” by his side, To keep the trail, the wild deer made Or, take the Duffaloe's shaggy hide. Thus, while within the power of dreams, He lived, again, his hours of bliss, His soul was lit by sunny gloams From Fancy’s sweet, enrapturing kiss! We’ll leave him thus, nor break the spell That, o’er his lonely spirit flows, — Removing sorrow.’s burning touch, And hiding transiently his woes ! Ay, Child of the Forest, sleep in poace! Untroubled, dream tby soothing dream, Till, the Great Spirit calls thee henco W here spotless suns, unclouded, beam. Providence Twp., Oct. 23, 1857. The Rev. George G. Cookman. Many of our readers doubtless remem- : her the Dev. Mr. Oookman, the talented Methodist minister, who was chaplain of the United States Senate, and subsequently : iQSt in the steamer “President.” The following sketch from the reminis- ' oenoes of the Hon. 0. H. Smith, published in the Indianapolis Journal, will be highly interesting to all who remember the elo quent preacher and sterling man : It was Sabbath morning. The last of the city church bells was ringing as I left my boarding bouse on Capitol Hill, at ] Washington eity, for Wesley Chapel. It was quarterly meeting. The preacher had closed his sermon, when there arose at the desk, a slender spare man, about five feet eight, dark complexion, black hair falling carelessly over his high forehead, lean bony face, wide mouth, round-breasted hlaek coat, with velvet falling collar, black vest and pantaloons. Addressing the congregation, he said: “We desire to take up a small collection for the relief of destitute, worn out Methodist preachers and their families. We appeal *Cosday to the hearts of the congregation,” and took his seat. A large collection followed. I whispered to Pitrick Gi Good, of Ohio, who sat beside me, “Who is that ?” “Don’t you know him? It is George G. Cook- The next Sabbath I was at the Chapel again. Mr. Oookman preached. I re turned satisfied that he was no ordinary ; man. The election for Chaplain of the Senate came on a few days after, and with out the knowledge of Mr. Cookman, I pri vately suggested his name to the Senators , around me. The most of them had heard him preach. He was elected Chaplain by a decided vote over the Rev. Henry Sli- i cer, against whom there was not the least objection, but we wanted to bring Mr. Cookman more prominently before the. public. The next Sabbath he preached his first Bermon in the hall of the House, to a very large congregation, from the text, “The sword of the Lord and of Gideon.” He made a profound impression on his hearers that day, which seemed to increase with every succeeding sermon. It is not my purpose to sketch the many sermons of Mr. Cookman during the time he was Chaplain of the Senate, the most of which I heard. He was a clear, distinct and powerful preacher. The remarkable clearness of his mental vision enabled him to Bee and describe whatever he touched so as almost to make Paul, Silas, Peter, Mirk and John stand before you as he named them. His tone of voice, as he warmed with his subject, and the tear stealing down his cheek, were irresistible. As a pulpit orator, take him all in all, ho had few equals and no superiors, that I ever heard. There was no plaoe for a ehoir where Cookman sang. Ilis voice was melody itself. I heard him in the Senate Chamber on the funeral occasion of Senator Betts, of Connecticut. The Cham ber was crowded. The President, Depart ment, Foreign Ministers, Senators and Representatives were there.. I distinctly remember one of his figures of speech. “As the human family come upon the great stage of life, they find at every fork of the road the finger board distinctly pointing to the grave—to the grave ! There is no other road to travel from infancy to old age, and death but the road that leads to the grave.” There was not a dry eye in the Chamber when he closed his sermon of one hoar, and sang alone the single verse jjof the hymn— jj And must this body die— ij This well wrought frame decay ? ] And mast these octiYe limbe of mine, Lie mouldering in the clay ? ]( The session of Congress was about to close upon the administration of Mr. Van Buren. The inauguration of General Har rison was soon to take place. Cook man had all his arrangements made to visit England on the s: earner President; The first dispatch from the new administration was to be confided to his charge. The next Sabbath he was to take leave!of tho members of Congress in his farewell ser mon. The day came. An hour before the usual time the crowd was seeh filling the pavements of the Avenue, and pressing up the hill to Representative Flail; which was sobn filled to, overflowing, anjjl hun dreds unable to get seats went awajr disap pointed. I obtained a seat early in front of the clerk’s desk. John Quincy'Adams sat in the speaker’s chair facing Me. Cook man. The whole space on the fostrum and steps was filled with Senators and Representatives. The moment had come. Mr. Cookman, evidently much affected, kneeled in a thrilling prayer, and rose with his eyes blinded with tears. Hiji voice faltered with suppressed as he gave out the hymn— 'j “When marshalled on the nightly plaijh. The glittering hosts bestud the aky, j| One star alone of all the train, jj Can fix the sinner’s wandering eye.; Hark ! hark ! to God the chorus break) From every host, from every gem, j But one alone, the Saviour speaks, i It is the star of Bethlehem- \ Once on the raging seas I rode, , ! The storm was loud, the night was dark — The ocean yawned, and rudely blowed ! The wind that tosssd my founderingloark ” 1 The hymn was sung by Mr. (Jpokman : alone. I can yet in imagination Hear his voice, as it filled the large hall, rind the last sounds, with their echoes, diejj away in the dome. jj 1 “And I saw a great white throve, and him that sat on it, from whose face the j earth and the heaven fled away; arid there was no place for them. ,j| j “And I saw the dead, small an|d great, ; stand before God, and the boo|s were opeued, and another book, which is the book of life, and <the dead were judged out of those things which were writteri in the books, according to their works.” ji Mr. Oookman was more affected when he gave us the text, than I had eyer seen him before. He several times parsed his j handkerchief over his eyes before hfe began, j The first sentences are fresh in my recol- j lection : “When Massillon, one of the greatest divines that Trance ever knew, was Sailed to preach the funeral sermon of the] depart ed King, in the Cathedral at Parish before the reigning King, the royal family, the chambers, and the grandees of Frpnee, he took with him to the sacred desk ] a little golden urn, containing a lock of hair of the late King. The immense congregation was seated, and the silence of death reigned. Massillon arose, held the little urn in his fingers, his hand resting upou the sacred cushion. All eyes were intently fixed upon the King. As his hand was returned to the sacred cushion, the loud and solemn voice of Massillon whs heard in every part of the cathedral, ‘Glpd alone ■is great So I say to you, to-,day, my beloved hearers, there is no humajn great ness, ‘God alone is great !’ ” | The subject was the Bay of Judgment. I had heard it preached before many times, but never as I heard it then. The im mense congregation was held;' almost breathless with the most beautiful| sublime and powerful sermon I ever hoard. He spoke of the final separation in the great day of judgment and fancied thejanger of of the Lord locking the door that opened | to the bottomless pit, stepping upon the ramparts, letting fall the key |in to the abyss below, and dropping the last tear over the fallen apd condemned: man. — He closed— ; “ I go to the land of my birthj to press once more to my heart my aged; mother, and drop a tear on the grave of my sainted father ; farewell, farewell.” | And he sank overpowered to inis seat, | while' the whole congregation responded | with sympathizing tears. j] | General Harrison had been inaugurated. I The despatches for the British government ; were signed by Mr. Webster and delivered to Mr. Cookman. He took lea|e of his friends at Washington, and left [for New York. As we parted his last woijds were, ■ “May heaven bless you, Mr. Smith;. if ever 1 return you shall see idle in the West.” j A few days afterwards, there |vas seen : passing Governor’s Island the new steamer “President,” on hefj outward trip to Liverpool, with Mr. Cookman, Ty , rone Power, and a long list of other dis ! tinguished passengers on board. djhe flying steamer had left the lighthouse fait behind, and moved gallantly on up the op|n Atlan ■ tic, with the prospects of as speedy and safe voyage as any vessel that ever crossed the ocean. Night was approaching. The ■ clouds in the heaven portended ajjstorm. — The winds blew and howled aj dreadful hurricane. The ill-fated vessel iwas seen late in the evening, strugglirig with fate now lying in the trough of the sea, now on the top of the wave, now upon her side, and again plunging, as it were| into the abyss below 1, “ The storm was loud, the night was|jdark, The ocean yawned, and rudely blow'ed The wind that tossed ray founderingjjbark.” Morning came. The sun rose on an open sea. The “President,” with all on board, had gone down and was ndjver heard of more. Thus perished, ere h 4 reached the meridian of life, one of thel eminent divines of our country. i| i Evert Word Tree.— The ijcharacter of the men of a oommunity depends much on that of the young women.

Qeneral Jackson and Banks. r There was no one question with which j the strong mind of Andrew Jackson .grap pled, says the Nashville Union, that he J more thoroughly comprehended at the close j of his illustrious public career, than that | of currency and the evils of the banking , system, Federal and State. No one warred ; with such determined resolution, or crushed 1 them so effectually,as he did. With the peo- i pie at his back he bid defiance to the whole monied power of the country. But (ien. Jackson understood their seductive and ; insidious arts to well to suppose that they | would not "make other efforts to fix them- : selves upon the vitals of the country. He therefore took special pains in his farewell address, which he bequeathed to his coun trymen at the close of his eventful public career, to anticipate these evils, recount their -dangers, and warn their posterity against them. It was for us who are now upon the theatre of aotion that he wrote. Let us heed, therefore, the following words of wisdom as though the patriot and sage still lived, and was speaking to us from the capital: “ The severe lessons of experience will, I doubt not, be sufficient to prevent Con gress from again chartering such a monop oly, (as the Bunk of the United States) even if the Constitution did not present an insuperable objection to it. But you must remember, fellow-citizens, that eternal vig ilance by the people is the price of liberty ; and that you must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing. It behooves you, therefore, to be watchful in your States, as well as in the Federal Govern ment. The power which the moneyed interest can exercise, when concentrated under a single head and with our present system of currency, was sufficiently demon strated in the struggle made by the Bank of the United States. Defeated in the general government, the same class of intriguers and politicians will now resort to the States, and endeavor to obtain there the same organization which they failed to perpetuate in the Union ; and with specious and deceitful plans of public advantages, and State interests, and State pride, they will endeavor to establish in the different Slates one monied institution with over grown capital and exclusive privileges suf ficient to enable it to control the operations of the other banks. Such an institution will be pregnant with the same evils pro duced by the Bank of the United States, although its sphere of action is more con fined ; and in the State in which it is char tered, the money power will be able to embody its whole strength, and to move together with undivided forces to accom plish any object it may wish to attain. — You havo already had abundant evidence of its power to inflict injury upon the agricultural, mechanical and laboring classes of society ; and over those whoso engagements in trade or speculation ren der them dependent on bank facilities, the dominion of the State monopoly will be abolished, and their, obedience unlimited. With such a bank, and a paper currency, the money power would in a few years gov ern the Mate and control its measures; and if a sufficient number of States can be induced to create such establishments, the time will soon come when it will again take the field against the United States, and succeed in perfecting and perpetuating its organization by a charter from Congress. “ It is one of the serious evils of our present system of banking, that it enables one class of society—and that by,no means ■ a numerous one—by its control over the | currency, to act injuriously upon the in terests of all the others, and to exercise more than its just proportion of influence in political affairs. The agricultural, the i mechanical, and the laboring classes have little or no share in the direction of the great monied corporation j and from their habits and the nature of their pursuits, they are incapable of forming extensive combinations to act together with united force. Such concert of action may some times be produced in a single city, or in a small district of country, by means of per sonal communication with each other ; but they have no regular or active correspon dence with those who are engaged in similar pursuits in distanf places ; they have but little patronage to give'to the press, and exercise but a small j share of iufluence over it; they have no crowd of dependents about them, who hope to grow rich without labor, by their coun tenance and favor, and who are, therefore, always ready to execute their wishes. The planter, the farmer, the mechanic and the laborer, all know that their success depends upon their own industry and economy, and that they must not expect to become sud denly rich by the fruits of their toil. Yet these classes of society form the great body of the people of the United States ; they are the bone and sinew of the coun try ; men who love liberty, and desire nothing but equal rights and equal laws, and who, moreover, hold the great mass of our national wealth, although it is dis tributed in moderate amounts among the millions of freemen who possess it. But with overwhelming numbers and wealth on their side, they are in constant danger of losing their fair influence in the govern ment, and with difficulty maintaining their just rights against the incessant efforts daily made to encroach upon- them. “ The mischief springs from the power which the monied interest derives from a paper currency which they are able to con trol, from the multitude of corporations with exclusive privileges which they have succeeded in obtaining in the different States, and which are employed altogether for their benefit; and unless you become more watchful in your States, and check this spirit of monopoly and thirst for ex clusive privileges, you will, in the end, find that the most important powet'3 of government have been given or bartered away; and the control over your dearest interests has passed into the hands of these j corporations. “ The paper money system, and its nat ural associates, monopoly and exclusive privileges, have already struck their roots deep in the soil, and it will require all your efforts to oheok its further growth, and to eradicate the evil. The men who profit by the abuses, and desire to perpetuate them, will continue to besiege the halls of legislation in the General Government as well as in the States, and will seek, by every artifice, to mislead and deoeive the public servants. It is to yourselves that you must look for safety and the means of guarding i and perpetuating your free institutions. In your hands ib'rightfully placed the sover eignty of the country, and to you every one placed in authority is ultimately responsible. It is always in your power to see that the wishes of the people are carried into faithful execution, and their will, when once made known, must sooner or later be obeyed. And while the people remain, as I trust they ever will, uncor rupted and incorruptible,; and continue watchful and jealous of their rights, the Government is safe, and the cause of free dom will continue to triumph over all her enemies. “ But it will require steady and perse vering exertions on your part to rid your selves of the iniquities and mischiefs of the paper system, and to check the spirit of monopoly and other abuses which have sprung up with it, and of which it is the main support. So many interests are uni ted to resist all reform on this subject, that you most not hope the conflict will be a short one, nor success easy. My humble efforts have not been spared, during my administration of the Government, to re store the constitutional currency of gold and silver ; and something, I trilst, has been done toward the accomplishment of this must desireable object. But enough yet remains to require all your energy and perseverance. This power, however, is in your hands, and the remedy must and will be applied, if you determine upon it.” A Candle hectare Reversed. The following is “ rich, rare and racy,” and a capital hit at some husbands, and may be read profitably by all who are inclined to find fault where there is no fault. “ A place for everything and everything in its place,” is a rule that would prevent many lectures were it practised more. But just hear Mr. Caudle : Now, Mrs. Caudle, I should like to know what has become of my hat ? Here I’ve been hunting all over the house, and lost ten minutes that should have been given to the Mutual Life Insurance Co. Now, I say, what, have you done with that hat? You have not seen it? Of course not; never do see it. Frank, go and get my hat, and Jane, fetch me my came. What’ that f You can’t find my hat ? Now, Mrs. Caudle, I should like to know why you will persist in training your children in such a heedless manner'! He can't find my hat ! To be sure not; how can he if you don’t learn him to look ? Did I not leave it in the kitchen when T went there last night after something to oat ? How the deuce should you know ? I say it’s your business to know, and to have my things all ready for me in the morning, and not have me losing so much of my time. Eh ! you have too much else to do ? Of course you have, with three servants and two children 1 Be calm ! 0 yes, I will he calm ! You see I am calm, and if you would only be so I should have been able to find my hat long ago, instead of staying here to listen to your excuse, when I ought to be down town attending to business. I.wonder how you expect I’m to keep this house going, if I’m to be kept waiting here for my hat. What ! how can you help it ? How can you help it ? Why, Madam, it’s the easiest thing in the world ! It’s simply this mod ern management. Now, do y'ou suppose things would go on in this way, if you’d only see that articles are in their right places ; but I suppose you haven’t got time to do that even ! Of course not. Well, there is no use of talking, I must go to the office bare-headed. Your bonnet, madam! Your bonnet! But why should I be surprised —why should I be surprised if you should offer me your skirts also, since I seem to have lost all authority in this house ? It’s not your fault! aud pray, then, whose fault is it ? I will repeat it over twenty times, if you wish it—whose fault is it 1 What! the servants 1 No, ma’am ; I tell you, you are mistaken—it’s not the servants —I tell you it’s your fault. I wonder who oversees the servants—who, madam, but you ? Then, it’s clearly your fault that I can’t find my hat. (Sits down) Well, it’s no use talking—l shan’t go to the office to-day, and you, ma’am, shan’t go to Newport —dy’e hear ? It is no use ask ing, you shan’t go. You needn’t suppose I’m going to be deprived of my hat in this way, and then allow you to spend my money at Newport. No, ma’am, I’m no such fool as all that comes to. No, ma’am ; here I am,and here I’ll stay all day, ma’am, aud—oh ! what! You wish I wouldn’t talk so much ? I tell you I will talk—l’ll talk all day, if I please, and smoke too —d’ye hearfhat ? I’ll smoke in the dining-room, and yes, by Jove, I’ll smoke in the parlor, and by Jove, ma’am, I will scent the cur tains, I’ll smoke all over the house.” “ Here, ” says Mrs. Caudle, “ the horrid wretch was about putting his odious pre cept into practice, when Jane came in with his hat., having found it where it had been left by him, in a corner of the large oak chair, on the back porch.” The Economical Landlady. One day, when butter was scarce and high, Mrs. Wiggins hit upon the economical plan of spreading with her own economical hands the butter upon the allowance of bread she doled out to her boarders— merely to save trouble. Mr. Jordan came home to tea rather late on the first evening of this new dodge, sat down in the pres ence of all the other boarders, and re ceived a slice from Mrs. Wiggins, who had gone through the ceremony of buttering it before his eyes. Mr. Jordan eyed the bread inquisitively, and began to turn it from side to side, and scrutinized it closely through his spectacles. “ What is the matter with your bread and butter !” de manded Mrs. Wiggins. “ Nothing—noth ing—nothing,” said Mr. Jordan, still turn ing the piece over, and persisting in his scrutiny'. “I’m positive, Mr. Jordan that you do see something.” “ Now I want,” said Mrs. Wiggins, her face becoming flushed with exoitement, “ I want my boarders to tell me right out when their vittles doesn’t suit! Now, Mr. Jordan what is it!” Mr. Jordan laid down the slice upon his plate, raised his spectacles to his forehead, and replied, with great de liberation : “ Mrs. Wiggins, there is noth ing the matter with the bread, I assure you; but, Mrs. Wiggins,” and here Jor dan glanced mischievously down the vista of attentive faces, “ I have lived in this world eight and forty years, and I find my self this evening suoh a simpleton, that I can’t for the life of me tell whioh side of my bread is buttered!” A western editor much wishes to know whether the law recently enacted against the oarrying of deadly weapons, 1 applied to doctors with pills in their pookets. —BUCHANAN* OUK STATE GOVEBJSnXESTT. A knowledge of the structure of our State Government, and of the organization and duties of its several departments, is what every citizen is supposed to possess. And, yet when it comes to the test, we are surprised to find how many are at a loss to answer the simplest question relat- j ing to the officers in service of the Com- , monwealth, and their several functions.— | For the information of such, the Norris- I town Watchman, has taken the pains to prepare a brief sketch of the State Govern ment as it is at present constituted, which ' we take the liberty of copying, with some . alterations and additions : I The Chief Officer of the Commonwealth j is the Governor, who is elected every three years. James Pollock, of Northumber- i land county, holds that office now, having i been inaugurated on the first Tuesday of I January, 1855. He receives an annual l salary of $3,500. The Legislature, last! winter, inserted a provision in the General ■ Appropriation Act, restoring the salary of j the Governor, after the expiration of the j term of the present Governor, to what it j was previous to the passage of the “ Re- i form Bill ” of 1845, to wit: $4,000 a year. ! Andrew G. Curtin, of Centre county, is I Secretary of the Commonwealth, at an an- , nual salary of $1,700. He is appointed ; by the Governor, and holds his place dur- , ing his pleasure. The Secretary was formerly also Super intendent of Common Schools, but the '■ Legislature at its late session, separated i 'the State and School Departments, and - made the Superintendent of Common : Schools a distinct and independent officer. The present Superintendent is Henry C. Hickock, of Union county, who holds his office tor three years from the first Monday , of last June. He is appointed by the Governor, “ by and with, the advice and . consent of the Senate.” His salary is $1,400 per annum, and he is liable to be removed by the Governor for misbehavior at any time. Henry S Magraw, of Lancaster, is State Treasurer, at a salary of $1,700. This officer is elected by the Senate and House of Representatives in joint convention, on the third Monday of January, in each and every year. The present incumbent is , serving his second term. The Auditor General is the “ watch dog ” of the Treasury, and is the most im- . portant of any to the tax-payers of the State. It is his duty to keep the accounts ■ of the Commonwealth correct, to enforce the collection of the revenue, and to see that no plundering hand has entrance to the Treasury. Our fellow-c'itizen, Jacob Fry, of the Trappe, Montgomery county, is the present incumbent. He was elected by the people last Fall, and took his place on the first Tuesday of May—holds office three years, and has an annual salary of; 5i,700. ! John Rowe, of Franklin county, is Sur veyor General, having been elected last October. His term also began on the first Tuesday of last May, to continue three years, at a salary of $1,400 per annum. Thomas E. Franklin, of Lancaster city, is Attorney, General. He holds his office by appointment of the Governor. An Act of the last Legislature has made a great change in the powers and duties of this officer. Under the law as it existed since the creation of the office of District Attor ney. the Attorney General’s office was one more of honor than of trust and influence. His duties were merely nominal, and he received a salary of only $3OO a year.— But the Act of 1857 reconstructed the office entirely, and it is now one of the first importance in the administration of our public business. Under this Act, the Attorney General is required to have his office at Harrisburg, to prosecute all suits against defaulting public officers, to col lect all debts dne to the Commonwealth, to act as counsel in all cases in the Supreme Court wherein the Commonwealth is a par ty, and to give opinions on questions of law submitted to him by the Governor, Auditor General, State Treasurer, Sur veyor General or Canal Commissioners. — He must give bond in the sum of $30,000 as security for the faithful performance of his duties. He is allowed a clerk, and receives a salary of $3,000 a year. The present Attorney General will hold his office until a successor is appointed. The Public Works are controlled by a Board, consisting of three Canal Commis sioners, one of whom is elected every year, to serve three years. The Board consists of Henry S. Mott, of Pike county ; Arnold Plumer, of Venango county; and George ! Pennsylvania patent agency ii , ,/i i i- . uil • ' A FRANKLIN KKIGAKT, of La.ici.slor city, obtain! fefiOtt, OI UoiUniDia county.
