Borne to the 9ongs of the forest bough, Tc the rustling leaves at the lattice pan*, To the chiming toll of the early rain. And some far oat on the deep wild sea. To the dash of the wares in their foaming glee, As they break into sprajr on the ship's tall side, That holds through the tumult her path of pride, And some—oh ! well may their hearts rejoice, To the gentle sound of a mother s voice ; Long shall they yearn tor th it kindly tone. When from the board and the hearth 'tis gone. And some in the camp to the bngle a breath, And the tramp of the steed on the echoing heath, And the sudden roar of the hostile gun, Wnich tells that field must ere be won. And some in tbe gloomy convict's cell. To the dull, deep note of the warning bell, As it heavily calls him forth to die. While the bright sun mounts in the laughing sky. And some to the peal of the hunters horn, Aud some to the sounds from the city borne ; And some to tbe rolling of torrent floods. Far midst old mountains and solemn woods. So are we roused on this cbecker'd earth. Each unto life hath a daily birth. Though tearful or joyous, though sad or sweet. Be the voices which first oorlupspringing meet.

[From tbe Press.) Tbe Honored Dead in Christ Church Burial Ground, Philadelphia. For nearly a century and a half this has been u place of sepulture. It was purchased of James Steel, in August, 1719, (the price we have not seen stated) and at first surrounded by a fence, which a short time previous to the Revolution, was replaced by the present wall, at an expense of over seven hundred pounds. The gate is generally opened each morning for a boot an hour, say between seven and eight o'clock, sonet ; mcs at other hours. There is a difficulty In describing situations intelligibly, from the fact of there being so few paths ; but the old grave-d.gger knows the whole yard •' by heart," and is very kiud in affording in formation. The first place to which one's steps will be directed on entering the gate is to the grave of Frankiin. This is near the street corner, and we haTe seen it stated his remains were placed there in order that a monument, if rais ed near, might be readily seen by passers-by. No monument has yet been erected, but tie plain slab, headed with its simple inscription, BENJAMIN) AXD J-FRANKLIN, DEBORAH ) 1790. marks his resting place Purinsr the year past portion of the brick wall adjoining has been replaced by an iron railing, so that the grave may now be sren from the street. The main incidents in the ft/eof the " Arner ican Sage," as he was denominated in France, are familiar enough to ail of us ; let us dwell a few moments on the honors paid his memory when dead. His death which occurred on Sat urday, the 17th of April, 1790, had long been anticipated. He was then eighty-four years old For a year or so previously he had been so iofinn that be bad to be carried about the streets in a sedan chair. But, though not un expected, the event created a profoo'-.d s-nsa t on, both at home and abroad. His funeral tk place the Wednesday following his death, and was witnessed, it is stated, Wy 20,000 per soos. The procession consisted of A.I! the clergy in the city (About 30 In number ) The Onwe, The pall bein|t borne by the President >f the State, the C hief Justice the President of the Hank.

Congress and the Supreme Execu tive Council of the State went iu mourning for thirty davs. When news of Franklin's death reached Paris it waa anoouueed by Mirabeaa to the National Assembly of France in aa el oquent address, a translation of which is doabt less familiar to many of our readers. The original may be seen in the MontUmr for June 11th, 1790, (No. 969 F,) in the Philadelphia Library The resolution offered by the er in closing, that the Assembly should go in mourning for three days, wasscooded by Rjcb efoocaolt and Lafayette, and passed by accla mation Subsequently, the commune of Pens ordered funeral honors to be paid to his mem ory.

The Abbe's eulogy was thought to be a mas terly one. Twenty-six copies of it were sent to the Congress of the United States. The Mnnitenr (before cited) of the 15lh of June, 1790, says that many friends of liberty met at at the Cafe Principle, rue des Fosses, and hav ing erected there a mausoleum to Franklin, one of their number pronounced a tribute to his memory, which was received most appro priately, with tears and silence. Tae Gentle man's Magazine adds, that a society of print ers, in Paris, assembled in the hall of the Cor deliers, around a bust of Franklin, elevated on a pedestal, and wearing a civic crown—a printing press, &c., being near—and while an apprentice was pronouncing the eulogy, the compositors and others were occupied in print ing and distributing copies to the numerous bod ies of citizens who were present. While it is pleasant to see that the memory of this great man was duly honored at home, these, as it were spontaneous tributes of for eigners, who were not as men indebted to him, show what a reverence was felt for the talents of Benjamin Franklin,printer. Coming back now towards the main walk, we find, perhaps fifty feet from the gate, a lit tle west of south, the grave of Thos. Laurence, who died in April, 1754, aged 64 years. His name sounds familiar to us, for we have had occasion to speak of him several times before. He was one of the committee appointed to build the State House. When Laurence's second term of office as mayor of the city ex pired, in 1750, be stated " that as some may ors, in lieu of ao entertainment, had given a sum of money for some public use, he was in clined to follow the example, and proposed to give the sum of one hundred pounds for the ose of the Academy iu this city, which pro posal was approved of by a great majority." This was oue of the first benefactions to the Academy, (now the University,) which start ed in that year. Laurence was mayor for the third time at the period of bis death. South of this we see a marble cross, marking the resting place of Commander John Montgom err Dale, United States navy, who died De cember 15, 1853, at the age of fifty-five. He entered the navy on the 18th of June, 1812, at the outbreak of the lust war. Adjoining is the grave of his father, Com modore Richard Dale, who was l>orn in 1756, and d.ed the 24th of October, 1826 He went to sea when twelve years of age, and iu 1776 became lieutenant of a Virginia cruiser, and afterwards (iu the same year,) was midship man under Capt John Barry, in the Lexing ton. In the fall of 1776 this vessel was cap tured, but the following night the Americans rose on their captors, and, overpowering the prize crew, escaped to Baltimore. The next year he was again taken prisoner, and making, after a long confinement, an attempt to escape, was soon recaptured, and, at the end of anoth er year's imprisonment, he procured, iu som* way which he would never disclose, a suit of British uniform, and, making good his escape this t cue, jointd Paul Jones, and was his first lieutenant in the conflict with the Serapis. in 1781 he wa aga n taken prisoner while lieu leuaul lo Capt. Nicholson, oo the Trumbull Before loug he was exchanged. From the ciose of the war he wa engaged in commerce, until re-appointed to the navy by Washington in 1794 After serving in the Mediterranean, he finally retired to private life in 1802 He was eminent in later days as a sincere Christ ian and a useful citizen, and aided iu the es tablishment, in this city, of a Mariner's Church, (of which he was the proposer,) by both his means and his influence, attending its services for many years. Not lar off lies Henry Harrison, who did, aged fifty-three, January 3, 1766. He became a Common Councilman in 1757, an alderman in 1761, and a year later was chosen Mayor He was a vestryman of Christ Church, and we are indebted to him, it appears, " for a plan of the tower ai.-d spire" of that venerated church, "as agreed opou to I* erected for a ring of bells." Christ Church steeple was described by Joseph Sanson, Esq . as " the handsomest structure of the kind that 1 ever saw, in any part ol the world, uniting in tho pecnliar forms of that species of architectnre the most ele gant vur.ety of form w:tb the most chaste sim plicity of construction." This is rather strong praise, but ail must admit the work to reflect great credit oa the designer. Nearly opposite No 48 North Fifth street (you can see the number on the sign\ is the grave of Gen Jacob Morgan, who died Sept 18, 1802. Gen Morgan was bom at Mor gantown, Berks county, in 1742. His pa rents, Jacob and Rachel, were of exemplary character, consistent Christians and z-aioas members of the Episcopal Chnrch. Jacob Morgan the elder, was a captain in the French and Indian war. and acted as commissary to the Pennsylvania forces. He was present at the memorable defeat of Geo Braddock. In illustration of his indomitable spirit, it is relat ed of him that while living at Morgaotown.he was aroused at night by two men wno had broken into hi house to rob and murder htm, but though suffering with the gout, he seized an old sword which he always kept at his bed aide, and plied it so effectuaiiy that the rob ber* were glad to make good their escape. Jacob Morgan (afterwards General.) ac companied his father daring the whole war, though only in his fifteenth year at its com meocemeot, aod continued in the army, acting as adjutant to his regiment until 1763. Time and the exposure of a camp prod need such change* that it is hardly wooderful that on his ■addeu return home, clasping his sister in his am*, she did not recognise bin at first, hot screamed with terror and straggled to free herself from his embrace. At the close of the war he settled in Phil adelphia, bat oe the outbreak of the war of Independence enlisted a* a volunteer. He was major in Col. Dickinson's regiment, and did good service at Moomouth, Brandy wine, and Qermantown, and shared in the privations of Vattey Forge.

This sword was not long since, when the remains of General Mercer were transferred to Laurel Hill Ceme try, presented by the Rev. Jacob Morgan Douglass, Rector of Zion Church in this city, (Morgan's grandson,) to the St. Andrew's Society, in whose possession it now remains. General Morgan was long Brigadier General of tbe county of Philadelphia, and served as Presidential elector in the first contest between A duras and Jefferson. He died in 1802 at hia country seat, at Point-no-Point on tbe Del aware, above Philadelphia, leaving three cKil d-en, Geo. W. Morgan, Mrs. Andrew Doug lass, afterwards wife of James Ash, Esq., and Mrs. William Sergeant. A TCRX AT FISTICUFFS —During the opera tions of the allies in the Crimea it was resolved to carry the water in from a beautiful spring of the finest Croton, to the camp. Leather pipes, or hose, were employed, which were laid on the ground. One morniug, while the wa ter was being supplied, the minaret sounded to prayer, and one of tbe Turkish soldiers im mediately went flop on his knees to praise Allah 1 Unfortunately he went down right upon the bose, and his weight consequently stopped the current of that " first of elements," as Pindar calls water, in his first Olympiad. " Get up," cried au English soldier. " Vou ley vous avez, la bonte, man cher Monsieur le Turque," cried a Frenchman, with bis native politeness, "to get up." " That ain't the way to make a Turk move," cried another, " this is the dodge." So say ing, he knocked bis turban off. Still the pious Musselman went on with his devotions. " I II make him stir hts stumps," 6aid anoth er Englshman. giving him a remarkably smart kick. To the wonder of all, still the untur baned, well-kicked follower of the Prophet went on praying as though he was a forty horse parson. " Hoot awa, mon—l'll shew ye how we serve obstinate folk at aald Reekie," quietly ob served a Scotchman He was, however, pre vented ; for, the Turk having finished his " A Dab-vis en allah," rose and began to take off his coat —then to roll up his sleeves, and then to bedew his palms with saliva, and then to put himself into the most approved boxing attitude ala Yankee Sullivan. He then ad- vatced in true Tom Hyer style to the English man who bad kicked him on the lumbar reg ion. " A ring ! a ring !" shouted the soldiers aud sailors, perfectly astouished to see a Turk such an adept in the fistic art. The Englishman, nothing loth to have a hit of fun with a Turk, of such a truly John Bull statu of mind, set to work, but found be had met his master—in five minutes he bad received his quantum suff As the Turk cool ly replaced his coat and turban—he turned round and said to the admiring bystanders, in the pure brogue : " Bad luck to ye, spalpeens ; when yere afther kicking a Turk, I'd advise ye. the next time to be nre he's not an Irishman !" The mystery was soUed—our Turk was a Tipperary man ! As Goon AS IF rr WERE .E-OP —The Wan tuckrt lshnd*r says that the following story was lately toid by a reformed inebriate as an apology for much of the folly of drunkards : " A mouse ranging about a brewery, hap pening to fall into a vat of beer, was in im minent danger of drowning, and appealed f 0 a cat to help him out. Tue cat replied : "It is a loolish request, lor as soon as I get yon out I shall eat you" The mouse piteously repiied '"That fate would be better than to be drown ed in beer." The cat lifted him out, but the fume of the beer caused puss to sneeze, and the mouse took refuge in his hole. The cat called upoo the mouse to come out —" Von,sir, did you not promise that I should eat you V' "Ah." replied the mouse," but you know I was in liquor at the time 1 " A Xew York mercantile house held an unsettled claim of lonz standine against a lame dnck "out westj" and hearing that he was be coming " well-to-do,''sent their claim to a west ern lawyer to collect In due time they received a reply, which effectually laid auv hopes they might have eutertained of receiving their rnondy. It ran in this wise : " Gents—you will neTer get any spodulic from Bill Johnson. I railed upon him yesterday, and foond with nary tile, bis feet upon the naked earth, and not clothes enough upon him to wad a gun ! " We call that an expressive simile. A plain o!d gentleman went with his team to briug home his two sons, two young sprigs, who soon expected to graduate. While returning, they stopped at a hotel in one of onr coautry towns for dinner. The landlord, struck with the dashing appearance of the two gentletneh. made himself very officious, while he took the old man, from his homespun ap pearance, to be nothing hut a driver, and ask ed to em if they wished the driver te sit at the tab'e with them " Well Dick," said the tonnger aside to his brother, " as he is onr tatber. and its his team, and he will bear the expense.

[At tbe fate meeting of tbe Bradford County Medical Society, tbe committee on Vaccination made tbe follow ing report, which was adopted, and ordered to be publish ed with tbe proceedings] : The committee to whom was referred the subject af kiue-pock, and the procuring and preserving of genuine vaccine virus, beg leave to submit the following report ; Small-pox is a disease actively contagious, and from the loathsomeness and suffering of its severer forms, none is more dreaded. Previ ous to the present century it was one of the most fatal maladies that humanity was heir to. Before the discovery of vaccination, about one sixth of all tbe deaths were from small-pox— one-fourth of all attacked by the disease, died. In an epidemic described by Drs Mitchell and Bell, in 1823-4, one-half of the unprotected died. In view of this appalling mortality, it is not surprising that mankind should embrace any thing that would tend to avert such a fatal in fluence. Inoculation was practiced in a very early day, but was very objectionable, as it constantly kept up the variolous contagion, which otherwise might only occur at intervals. Prudence suggested a reform, and several gov ernments enacted laws to entirely prohibit in oculation, under heavy penalty. Dr Jebner, of England, made the first ob servations on vaccination. He observed while engaged in the practice of inoculation, that certain individuals were not sasceptible to the disease, and that they resisted the small-pox contagion ; this he attributed to an affection they had caught from the cow while engaged in tbe act of milking. He therelore tried the experiment of taking some of the matter from a pock on the udder of tbe cow, and inserting it in the human subject, which resulted in u mild vaccine disease, which afforded complete secarity from small-pox ; he next conceived tbe idea of conveying the disease from one indi vidual to another, which he did with entire satisfaction. This was enough—filled with the spirit of philanthropy and enthusiasm, he pub lished au essay iu 1786, in which he set forth the result of his investigations. In 1800 his practice of vaccination reached the Uuited States, and soon the whole medical world ac cepted tbe practice, with gratitude to the dis coverer. The views he set forth will long be cherished by the profession, aud his name be hailed with admiration by all future genera tions whose uuboru millions shall experience its blessing. The identity of kine-poek and small-pox is pretty well established, the mildness of the symptoms in the cow, being attributed to the modifying influence of the inferior animal.— The disease iuthe horse known as the "urease," is of the same nature, aud is supposed, if in serted in the humao subject, would produce kiue pock. JeDner supposed the disease in the cow to be conveyed from this matter by the hands of the milkers. The cow takes the kine-pock sometimes from exposure to small pox coutagioa. The variolous matter is capa ble of producing the disease if inserted in the udder of the cow. and the resulting pock is proper vaccine virus ; violeut symptoms, how ever, result from the first few iuserttons, which gradually wear off. Kine-pock"Occurs in the cow spontaneous, in certain districts ; this affords the most reliable source of procuring the vaccine virus genuine, but even this is not exempt from violent symp toms at first—the activity dimiusbes in pro portion to the number of iusertiotis. The pock ou the cow resembles that in the human sub ject ; it has that peculiar silrery appearance and unbilicated form, which distinguish it from any other pustule. The modifications of the small pox by the system of the cow, has been attributed to the milk, hence it has been sug gested to take equal parts of cold milk and variolous matter taken from the pock in the vesicular stage, and mix An experiment has been tried at the Le Charite, Lyons, with the following result:—Twenty-one ch ldren, whose ages varied from ei*ht to eleven, were submit ted to the Lacto Variolic inoculation, eighteen of which presented pustules precisely similar in appearance, character and duration, to those of kine-pock, and limited to the seat of pnnc ture, and were not more serious than vaccina tion practiced in the usual way. Vaccination would not take effect on them afterwards It is now conceded by roost medical writers that vaccine virus deteriorates and becomes almost inert, by constant use, in course of time, and further that it partakes of the nature of the disease iu the constitution where the virus is inserted, particularly strumous and cutsn -ous affections. These facts are worthy of atten tion. as by means of such matter we have fai-e security, and many supposing themselves pro tec ted, rush into dangi r, and suff-r from genu ine small and very many suffer with the disease in some of its forms. It is of vital importance that the profession sbouid be supplied with pure and unadultera ted raceme virus. We must resort to the cow. Th is is a matter in which the government ought to feel interested, after the example of the old world, and a National Institution oncht to be supported by the general government, for the purpose of furnishing vaccine Physi cians with the right quality of virus. Our State Legislature ought not to be si'ert on the subject ; laws compelling vaccination and re vaccination. although they might at first seem repugnant to the spirit of our institutions, yet they would not be as arbitrary as our quaran tine laws inst.tuted to prevent the introduction of infectious diseases from wit hoot, and noooe doubts the expediency of such law? For the vaccination to be prophylactic, re quires that the vericle should be perfect, wrll developed, and not broken or subject to vio lence of any kind, lest the pustule fill with pos instead of vaccine lymph. The attention of the Physician is absolutely necessary, io order to know if the pock is genuine and pro tective, if not. the virus shoo d be reinserted. A very good aod reliable way of testing the pock, is by taking some of the lymph from the vesicls in the forming stage, aod iaeert in 1 acother p!tm If tie pori b protective, the [ new puncture will become Jred, a vesicle form rapidly, and overtake the first pock. The fact of an arm becoming " sore," is not sufficient evidence, as the SAme might result from the use of a dull, dirty lancet, or any ir ritating matter is capable of producing a philgouanous pustule, which might deceive the uninformed. The vesicle should begin to form on the fifth day after the virus has been insert ed, and begio to decline on the eleventh. It should have a silvery or pearly appearance, nmbilicated or piUed on tbe top ; a small scab forms in tbe pit and gradually spreads over the surface, during tbe decline of the disease ; tbe crust should be about one third of an inch in diameter arid of a mahogany color when it drops off, which is about the end of the third, or during tbe fourth week. From the eighth day to the tenth, tbe constitution generally sympathises with the local affection, and a slight tever is present, which ?oou disappears. The slightest deviation from the regular pro gress and appearance of the vacciue vesicle, should l>e sufficient cause for doubt in the mind of the Physician as to the efficiency of tbe vaccination and the completeness of the pro tection afforded by it. It was a favorite theory with Jenner, that " when the system has once been perfectly and completely under the vaccine influence, to a point of saturation, it remains forever after secure from variolous contagion." Observation has ?bown that during epidem ics of small-pox, many who had been previous ly vaccinated, suffered with the disease, more or less mod fied. This gave origiu to the idea that the vacciue disease, though once secure and complete, " would run out." And some have tried to fix the exact time. Seven years has been suggested, on the theory that tbe system was renewed every seven years, but this hypothesis is groundless as more recent observation has shown conclusively that the same change takes place every four days and five hours. Perhaps the aire of puberty may have something to do with it. The theory of Dr Jenner seems to be well founded, as abundance of proof will show The fault lies in the virus used, the manner in which it is used, nnd the accidents occurring during the progress of the vesicle. Vaccine virus may become so deteriorated in a few weeks as to deceive the Physician—even that which is fresh and pure from the cow, unless protected trom the atmosphere, heat and mois ture. Yirns becomes less active in proportion to the number of constitutions it passes through If this he true, may it uot become inert ? The virus partakes of the nature of tbe disease in the system through which it passes, hence the virus becomes unfit for use after passing through constitutions of scrofu lous habit, or herpetic or other cutaneous dis eases ; it should only be takeu from healthy subjects. Certain individuals are insusceptible to the vaccine d-sease,from some pecnliar idiosyncrasy —such probably would resist the variolous contagion. lu view of these facts.it is proper to recommend rcvaccioatiou after puberty.— This wiil guarantee to the patient complete security from that most pestilential disease, so much dreaded by all the humau family.

Then at a sign from the Baboo, the man approached the spectators to display his month to such auxiousscientific inquirers as might de sire to exumine it. Plainly there had been no trick—the fellow had in very truth masticated the glass, and bis hps had suffered a few scratches.

After this giassivorous monster came some experts of the more familiar sort—the sword swallowers, and the fire-eaters, and the toasers of balls, and the posture makers. We soon tired of them. Then followed a more startling exhibition:—Some Nutt gipsies were led out —a family of four, being a man, two woroeo, and a buy. Tbev brought with them a tall po'?, which the man fixed upright, in a piace iu the floor prepared to receive it. They had also two or three brass dishes, some eggs, au earthen jar or two, and a bottle. Whenllie man hud planted his pole, he began trotting around it, in a narrow circle, chanting a mo notooous song, which every moment quickened with his pace. One of the women sat on tho ground, and beat with her fiugers ou a small drum ; the boy drew a clatter.ug accompani ment from a sort of castanets ; the other wo man remained for a time silent and still. But presently the man clapped his hands with a smart doolie stroke, and at the sign the woman rose to her feet, and as he passed her, sprang with marvellous agility to bis shoulder, and theu to the very top of his head—where sba stood, with folded arms, statue hke, and seem ingly as firmly planted. Still the man ran on. faster. Then the boy laid down his tastauets, and took up or.e of the earthen jars, with which he followed them ; aud ere we could see how the nimble feat was done, the jar was on the man's head, aud the woman stood upou it iu the same attitude as before. And still the man ran round, faster and faster, and faster went his meagre-uoted song, and faster went the cram. The a the boy brought a brats dish and bot tle, and the mau slipped the dish under the woman's feet, &o that it covered the jar like a lid ; and lie placed the bottle upright on the dish, and the woman poised herself oo oce foot on the bottle, and with outspread arms, and her free foot in air, stood perched like Mer cury, "on a heaven kissing hill."
