NEW ENGLAND IN THE WEST. BY THOMAS BUCHANAN BEAD, What hears our great eagle? What fright ens the fawn, What startles the sayage, dusk-red as the Till he fiies’like the shadows, far westward forlorn, While out of the East walks the glory of morn? Whence this thund’rous roar, that awakens tho fiTgjpsi Making gaps ’where the sunshine looks down with surprise? s Tis the axe of New England asserting its sway, lake John, in the wilderness, clearing the way! What homestead is this of the forest new born, Surveying well pleased its broad acres of corn, While the porch to its lap wooes the vines and the flowers, These fair forest orphans, bereft of their bowers, Where the laughter of children, the song of the maid, Make a music that brightens the primeval shade? s Tis the New England home, nestled calm as a dove, Proclaiming its mission of labor and love. Who rings the loud anvil, who guides the deep plow, Where solitude nursed her dark children but now?— Who sows the new-furrows with wide swinging hand. With as he were baptizing the Who flashes his scythe, like a brook on the plain? Who drives the swift sickle?—who garners the grain? Who tames the wild stream, teaching labor and rest? The hardy New Englander, blessing the West. "Who sits at your desk, ’mid the murmuring school, With kindness and patience, the only true rule? Who walks with his flock, like a shepherd of old, Through the fields of the Sabbath that lead to the fold, Then, like a good sower, with well-sifted, seed, Distributes the truth of his liberal creed— Completing the task which the school-man began? ’Tis the noble New Englander toiling for man! Who is it dares giye, with no fear of dis grace, His hand to his brother, in spite of his race? Who asks not the question, “Who toils by my side?” Who deems not that the color and heart are allied; Who Btoops to the needy o’er pillows of pain, With wisdom and goodness dividing his gain. In the great human battle doing all that he can? It is still the New Englander fighting for man! Who is it springs up when the gauntlet is flung, No matter the source, if the war-bell is _ , runs; Takes his place, never asking the creed or _ the hue Of his comrade—content if his courage prove Who shares his last cup and divides his last ' crust, Though fainting with hunger or thirst in the dust? With a patriot valor, though veteran or youth— Behold the New Englander fighting for Truth! And when the war ends yon will find him again In the front rank of Progress, the honored of men; Though his sceptre be only the pen or the axe, The hand of his purpose will never relax, The fruit of his toil mast be ever the best, An to-day we behold in the land of the West, He soars with the eagle, though delving the Bod— A dauntless New Englander working for God. A DOMESTIC KOMAKCE. A Widower of Seventy-five Falls in love with a Woman of Twenty-lour-—A Sew Way to Stop a Wedding. JBprlngfleld (m.) Correspondence St. Loots Bepnb- Tri the adjoining township resides Alexis P., a well-to-do farmer. He is a widower of twelve years’ standing, and has attained the patriarchal age of three score and fifteen years. His family con sists of an only son, Frank, not quite of age, and three daughters, of the ages re spectively of twenty-four, twenty-seven, and thirty-two. Though in intellectual dotage, Mr. P. is physically, for one of his years, a veiy proper man; hale,erect, and vigorous. His large possessions have aroused the cupidity of not a few advanced widows. Indeed, he is re garden as a decided “catch,” and stren uous efforts have been made to ensnare his affections. But the aged gentleman, though sympathetic enough, is after tender deer. Having a liquorish tooth, or rather no tooth at all, his preferences tend to the more youthful of his ad mirers. _ Miss Fanny B. (we suppress names for the sake of relations) is the daughter of poor, but respectable farmers, neigh bors of the Ps. She is a genteel girl of unsophisticated manners, but limited education. She had been taught to idol* ize the wealthy man. The playfellow of P.’s daughters, she has grown up with them, and is of the same age with the youngest, to wit., twenty-four years old. Strange to say (or is it strange) old Mr. P. has fallen desperately in love With Fanny. His suit has been favored by her folks, actual marriage contracted and nothing remained but the solemni zation. Our informant, Rev. Mr. O. of the Episcopal Church, had been summoned to celebrate the nuptual cere monies. Although hostile to the mar riage, the daughters of thy gay Alexis had made no opposing demonstration. On the day previous to the ceremony, the son Frank exhibited a decidedly belligerent spirit. And here comes in the romance. Frank declared, amid a whole cataraet of profane embellishments, that his father should not bring such a mother into the house. He swore the old man should not marry the girl. De spite license, priest and inclination there Should be no marriage. How wofild he prevent it? He would show themabout noon of the day preceding the one ap pointed for the wedding. An under taker from Springfield brought a coffin to the house of Mr. P. Frank took ebarge of it, and deposited it with suita ble gravity in the principal room. Frank THJS PAIL? gyENiNGBULLETIK.—PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBEB 29, SOEET. then caused the family meat-axe; a ghastly,'horrible cleaver, to be ground and sharpened. Then he announced his design. He swore (For Frank is a fast and spoiled youth) there should be $ funeral but no wedding. Reversing the order of things, he declared the wed-, ding-baked meats should coldy furnish forth a funeral; that Fanny, in stead of a bride, should be a corpse; that his father might have a funeral but ho wedding- that, standing there at the threshold of his paternal mansion,when she came to celebrate the nuptials, he would, with thatsame sharpened meat axe cleave her from crown to able; that the coffin prepared was for her decent burial; and finally, that he was ready himself for the murderer’s gibbet. Matters assumed a serious look. What at first was considered a joke, began to wear a solemn phase. Protestations,en treaties and threats were unavailing; Frank was immovable. The intended bride’s friends were troubled and amazed, she herself almost frightened to death. In this emergency the clergyman was sought before his time and consulted. Surveying all the situation, he finally gave the opinion that the disparity of years presented an almost insuperable obstacle, -and that, under the circum stances, it would be wise and expedient and eminentlyjudicial to have neither wedding nor funeral. He advised a discontinuance of further arrangements. The match was broken off, the coffin removed empty to the family vault, the meat-axe buried—-or rather put by for the ensuing hog killing season the liquorish old groom sent drunk to bed, and Frank stood entirely victorious. No doubt some of you, readers, like many of the neighbors, shrewdly ima gine that Frank would marry Fanny. Not a bit of it. He wouldn’t have her; and, not the least romantic part of the story, Fanny wouldn’t have him. She has just been married to a plain youth of the township, who, like Young Norval in the play, tends his father’s flocks and is kept industriously at home. The foregoing, though almost incredi ble, is strictly true. Our informant, the family clergyman, is an aged man of moßt veracious habits and excellent character. We give the story almost in his very words. Truly, truth is some times strange—stranger than fiction. Street Sanies in New Orleans. The New Orleans Crescent discourses, in an amusing way, of the nomenclature of the streets in that city: “History, geography, the arts and sciences, mythology, antiquity, the dark agesand brightages,have been exhausted in the city nomenclature. Felicity road, for instance, runs counter to Apollo and Dryades, and Violet and Lemon inter sect Minerva and Juno. When you escape from the classical portion of the city you find yourself among a whole calendar of saints, as St. Patrick, St. David, St. Andrew and others, or the world’s great men are brought fresh to your remembrance by such names as Lopez, Anthony, Pythagoras, Socrates, Xenophon. Next to Solomon street is Napoleon street, and next to them both is Alexander and Murat. It is to be expected that one should meet some traces of the Spanish denomination in such names as O’Reilly, Casacalvo, Qpn zaga, Morales or Galves, or of the Bour bon dynasty, as is the case with most of tho names in the second district. The nomenclature of the third district is in part explained to have been the fancy of a prominent citizen, whose name we did not learn, who naturally loved Industry, Abundance, Humanity, Piety and Virtue, and who at the same time seemed to have remarked Desire, Love and Pleasure, as cross-qualities. It was at a time when the world lived a fast, gay life, and bagatelle, craps and other games were played; when it was the fashion to talk of Congress, Inde pendence, Washington, Franklin and Monroe. But how the names of the lat ter statesmen came to be near the streets which were called after Pauline,Elmira, Louisa and Celestine, or who originaliv bore these last names, we are at present unable to state. _An ordinance was once passed which limited the streets to one name, or at least to two, one above and one below Canal street. The former appellations were allowed to remain undisturbed, and the new ones have never been affixed to the street comers; the names they go by have been but little affected in the con versation of the public, and Bampart street, for instance, is known under the four other names of Love, Greatman, Circus and Hercules. Cupid on lee. One of the prettiest tricks of the sea son of that sad rogue, Cupid, was wit nessed a few days ago at askating party, not a hundred miles from Columbus, Ohio. A company of young men and maidens, and some gray beards, too, had met at the fine pond in the vicinity of during the first days of the late “cold snap,” and among them were a young lady and gentleman, both strangers in the neighborhood, and to each other, and both on a visit to friends. The sport had begun, and all was going “merry as a marriage bell,” when the young lady,) whose name for the piesent shall be Belle, glided away, in advance of her com panions toward the centre of the pond. Every eye followed her in admiration as she spun round In mazy Circles, or darted away on lines as straight and un erring as geometry. It was beautiful practice, and the lady, in her excitement did not notice that the ice began to bend around her, but several of her friends who were nearest to her saw it, and cried out to warn her of her danger! Strange as it may seem, fearless as she was, she grew paralyzed with terror, and though she kept her feet, she seemed incapable of moving from the spot, and stood gazing as if fascinated at the place where the ice began so show signs of breaking up. It was high time for some one to at tempt a rescue, and Henry the strange young man, rushed forward as fast as steel could carry him. A moment of anxiety, of breathless suspense, and he has reached her; and now, with his arm around her waist; with the treach erous ice bending and cracking beneath tbeir feet, fee guides her rapidly to a place of safety horrified spectators see the water rushmg up a few"yards ■ behind them; and at last when the dan ger is over, there are some tears shed that were not put. down in that day’s programme.' The acquaintance begun under such circumstances soon ripened into a mutual regard stronger than friendship, and as truth is often stranger than fiction, they are to be married soon; it is whispered during the present holi days. An Historic -Probably the most absurd diplomatic mission recorded in history since the memorable embassy dispatched iby Don Quixote to his mistress, Dulcinea del Toboso, is that lately sent forth, in pursuance of that canon, of modern knight errantry,the “Monroe Doe trind, " to discover and release the enchanted damsel, Mexico, from the toils of the grim magician of France. Some odd similarities in the details of these sing ular enterprises can hardly fail to strike the reader. The frantic folly of the tilt which- our “mirror of chivalry” ran against Con gress and the people, just previous to the departure of his embassy in search of the Mexican Dulcinea, is unmistakably foreshadowed in the mad pranks of ’the Knight of the Sorrowful Figure when his trusty squire was about to leave the Sierra Morena with his master’s mes sage to the “peerless Princess.” “Ihave now,” said the errant Don, “to rend my garments, and dash my head against these roekß. It is necessary, and I will have thee see me perform a dozen or two frantic actions.” And spite of Sancho’s protestations that he was already fully satisfied of his master’s madness, the latter, “stripping his breeches off in all haste,” says the chronicle, “remained naked from the waist downward, or cov ered only with the tail of his shirt; and presently, without more ado, he cut a couple of capers in the air, and as many tumbles, heels over head, making such an exposure that, to avoid a second view, the squire turned his animal’s head about.” Did not the prophetic soul of Cervan tes foresee the fantastic tricks played by our President errant, in his last sum mer’s “swinging! around the circle?” Certainly it aid. ; And.after the scene at Rochester and Cleveland, might not our Mexican embassy, like - the proverb loving Panza, “feel fully satisfied that, he might swear his master was stark mad?” The parallel may, not inaptly, be run much further. The contrast between the “peerless Princess” of the demented Don’s imagination, and the reality in the shape of the frowsy wench, Aldonza of Toboso, is not greater than that be tween “the constitutional Government of the Republic of Mexico,” as seen through the rosy medium of Messrs. Seward and Johnson’s fancy,‘ and the matter-of-fact, migratory hord of ad venturers, sometime resident of Chihua hua, in quest of whom Sherman and Campbell are on their voyage just nosv, with a national search-warrant. It requires no great exercise of imagi nation to conceive the not too amiable hero of “the march to the sea,” after knocking around up and down the coast, from Vera Cruz to Brazos, fog*, a month or two, in pursuit of the vagrant Republic, like his prototype looking through the highways and byways of the Spanish city for the imaginary palace of Dulcinea—taking himself to task in a paraphrase of Sancho Panza’s soliloquy, something in this wise: “Tell me now, brother Tecnmseh, whither is your worship going? to seek some ass that is lost? No, verily, but to look for a thing of nothing —a princess—the sun of beauty. All thu is mighty well; and do you know her house? My master says it must be some royal palace or stately castle. And have you ever seen her? Not I—nor my master.” It happens, however, that Gen. Bherman did not proceed upon hi 3 mission without a perfect consciousness of its absurdity. His general idea regarding the policy we should pursue toward Mexico io that the Mexicans should be compelled, at the point of the bayonet, to take back all the territory we have acquired from her, with the exception of Texas and California, and that all American citizens who visit that hopeless country under any pretence whatever should be disfranchised. He cannot, therefore, make the application to himself that Sancho does in the con clusion of his soliloquy : “ Well, this master of mine,l can plainly see, is mad enough for a straight waistcoat; and, in truth, I am not much better—nay, I am worse in following him. ” A Chance for a Dramatist. [From the Ji. Y. Herald.J It is a thousand pities that there is not living a Bbakspeare, an Ariosto or a Schiller, to weave from the events of our times a series of dramas suited to the genius of Bistori. The occurrences of the last ten years would have furnished the materials for a dozen such works. Can there be found anything more dramatic, for example, than the epi sodes presented by the Mexican empire under Maximilian? What heroine in history, Mary Queen of Scots, perhaps, excepted, offers a subject for more spir ited aad touching characterization than the Empress Cariotta? Her beauty, tal ent and queenlike energy, her courageous struggles against French dictation and Mexican perfidy, her stormy interview with Na poleon, her frenzied appeal to the Pope (the first, perhaps, who has been sub jected to such an ordeal), and her final transference to a private mad house would furnish scope for the finest effects that can be produced by the pen of a dramatic writer. Then what a chance there would be for the delineation of a character far exceeding Bichelieuin am bitiousdaring,craftiness, self controland reserve—that of Napoleon! The rest of the cast could be filled up with the good natured, uxorious and Maximilian, the vain and insolent Ba zame,the mysterious Castelnau.thelong wmded Seward, laden with his tomes of foreign despatches, and the mercurial kmgnt-errant Sherman, with his diplo matic Sancho Panzaathis heels. All these would furnish characters for a drama of more intense and real interest than any. that has been presented on the stage. It is to be regretted that there is no writer to be found who could do justice to such a piece. As the main personage around whom its interest centres we certainly know no artist who could attract for the character and mis fortunes of the unfortunate Cariotta so much admiration and sympathy as the great actress who ,now concentrates all the attention of our play-goers.
