eoNa OV GOLD.
A monarch am I, mora powerful ai.d b g'l
Than th mightiest kingdom can yiel I ;
No king on bis throne a sceptre can own
8o no tent as that I wield i
Ere these Sovereigns of earlh into being had birth,
I dwelt in my splendor and pride
'.Vhilo the monad Aid gnome in my cavernous
home,
Heaped treasure on eve'y side.
Through crevice and seam, the sun yellow
beam
Was deftly and cunningly caught ;
And the alchemy strange, of this hermetic change.
That ages on ages they wrought,
Shall ne'er bo unsealed, and never revealed
To the creature I claim as my slave.
By labor and toil, and rapine and spoil,
He pursues me, and reaches the grave!
Sold ! sola 1 solJ ! all for the yellow gold !
For ages alone I dwelt on my throne,
In the freshness of earliest time;
And the gods ol that day felt my scejitre and
sway,
And yielded a homage sublime. -Earth's
bosom grew rile with beauty and life t
Then Plenty and Peace lirst began
And the world's brightest page is that pastoral
ogc.
Ere my realms were invaded by man.
But I still live and reign while my fetter and
chain
Shall avenge my dismantled abode ;
Even worship I crave from my victim and slave,
And lie makes me his idol and god.
Soldi sold! soldi all for the yellow gold!
I stand by the side of the fair young brido
As she bartors her faith away,
To age, and cares, and threescore years,
And a head and a heart turned gray.
And I laugh the while at the bitter smile
I hat erects her with name ol wife ;
For I am he who her lord shall be
She is mine, sho is mine, through life !
Though 1-er Irow be bright with the diamond's
liS!.t
And her eye is flashed with pride,
There's a gnawi.ig smart at the weary heart,
As mv sltadow stalks at her side.
Sold ! sold ! sold ! all for the yellow gold !
Lnl a gallant barque cleaves the billows dark,
To a land beyond the wave;
It brars in its lucast those sons of unrest
Who go hence to find a grave.
They have lied tho soil where manly toil
.Meets ever a rich reward.
1. 1. red by the smiles of Hesperian idles,
'I hey have left their native sward
Forsaken the tics and lovo-lil eyes
That make e'en tho poorest blest t
Afar they roam from the spells of home,
In those regions of the wet.
Soldi soldi said! all for the yellow gold !
Oh! many I lind of the grovelling mind,
Who ure mine by tho daily dime
They count their bogs, while they go in ragst
And look grim and gaunt at time;
They shiver and groan o'ei the cold hearthstone
Whore their buried treasure lies;
They shtink away from the face of day,
And they cower before human eyes;
And they have no thought that is nut fraught
With the curse of their wretched toil i
As they tremble and die, in their car I cry:
"Thou must leave to earth thy spil."
Mold! sold! sold! all fur the yellow gold!
Ye children of clay shall soon pass away,
But my kingdom shall ever remain;
And the unburn rat that shall dwell in your
place,
Will worship my fetter and chain:
From earth's venial prime to the last verge of
time,
My sway and my sceptre shall last,
And the future to come shall re-echo the doom
Of the vengensuce 1 dealt to the past.
I hen beware! oh beware! for I icck not, or
cure,
What virtue may hallow the shrine;
If 1 once enter in, thee is darkness and sin,
And the soul of the victim is mine.
Sold! sold! sold! all for the yellow gold!

THE MARllIAGXi OP THE PBIN
CESS ROYAL OP ENGLAKD.
0a the 25lli of January, in the Chapel of
St. James' l'ulace, London, where eighteen
year before Victoria, Queeu of Kuglund, was
married to 1 riuce Albert, ol Sane CoberL',
tho marring of tbuttjueeu's eldest daughter,
the l't nicut-e Hoyal ol I'ugland, with 1'rince
rreuericu illiam, ol I rubsia, was celebra
ted with royul splendor. All Ku"!and was
jubilant, and all London was out on a holi
day. Notuiug wag tallied ol but tho royal
marriage, and tho columns of tho morning
papers were tilled with too most rniculd par
ticulars of bow nud when and where the cere
monies were to take place. It was right
that Engluud should take such a deep iutur-
est tu tho oiarnutre of the daughter of Us
tuoea, right that its press should thus mar
shal its columns iu honor and record of tho
occasion. Fer tweuty yeurs has Victoria
beeu a model of a Queen, a wifu and mother,
such as royalty has scarcely been able to
boast of, aud wiuoing Tor her the love of her
people ; the marriage of her daughter, apart
irom tue important political results it may
prouuee, was universally Dclieved to have
oeen ttouuaea on tuoee bonus or ullectloo
which inve6t the marriage of the humblest
wnu tue uucpeti lutereet, which have added
lustre to the Queen's own character, and
been productive to ber of the highest do
mestic happiness ; aud, therefore, it is beoo-
ruoie una creditable to the English people
that all Koglund should thus, at least in im
agination and talk, aud reading, bare gone
iu iub weuuiug ui tue royai oauguter, gloried
in it, aud boasted of its inaguiticeoce. Even
heie, ou this side of the Atlantic, where we
marry with less pomp, though all are sore
reiuus at the wedding, we lake pleasure in
preseutiug a few of the beautiful pictures of
this royal Euglitu bridal. Here they ure.
The urst is ol I tie Uueen and mother ;
The Queen looks as she ulwayg looks,
kindly aud atniublo, but self-possessed aDd
stalely. On her head it a crown of jewels
such us relieves all appruhensioo as to tbe
effect with the late lluuoverian 'raid' opou
the ltoyul casket mi.'Lt have bad upon ber
Majesty s toilet. Uourteysinz iu acKnowi
edgeuient of the profound homage with which
the is welcomed, ber Majesty basset at once
to ber chair of Itate on the left of tbe altar,
aud which Is placed between tbe nveenibroid
ered settees uecupied by tbe youngest Hoyal
children. . From tbis time all remain stand
ing iu the prufctuce of her majority, even tbe
1'riucess or l'russia, wuo tuuut on me opo
site side of the altar.
Lerd l'ulinerstoo. sn tbe Oueco't right
band, bears the Sword of State, while the
uucbess or Sutherland, berseir altued iu
(most Itoyal uagviGceBce, gtaadt oo the
left, by tbn ripht of office, as Mistress of Inn
Robes. Again there is another- pause of
intense Interest, and again the drums and
trumpets are beard, acd ushered in with the
same Imposing ceremonies, comes the pro
cession of the Itriih'groorn.
Tbe second is tho picture of the bride
groom, aud beautiful) stately aud reverential
it is.
On lin walks liis Itoyal Highness th
Prince of Prussia, bis fatbor, ond on his left
his brother Prince Albert. All ryes, how.
evor, ore fixed upon the royal bridegroom, ns
he walks slowly but with the nioit perfect
esse of action up to the centre of the chnpi-l.
lie wears tho uniform of a Prussian General,
with tho Insignia of the order of tho Iilack
Eaglo of Prussia. The uniform shows his
figure to advantage and sets off his frank,
open countenance and prcposessing appear
atice. Near the nltar he stops before her
majesty's chair or 8101 uhd slowly bows
with tho most profound reverence, and turn
ing to bis royal mother, be lows again with
equal respeef, but less deeply than to the
Queon, and then kneeling in the centre of
the chapel, prays with earnest devotion for a
rw minutes, llu prayers ended, he rises
and stands at tho right baud of the altar
waiting his bride, on 1 likewbe submitting to
tho scrutiny from liundieds of brilliant eyes
as never bachelor withstood elone beforo.
Again a pause ensues a pause of uioft im
pressive solemnity, for expectation seems
wrought to the hisbest pitch, nnd no one
speaks, and even fuw move to disturb tho
solemnity that roigns over the whole interior,
wiulo even the most illustrious of tho royal
guests seem struck, and gaze with open ud
tniratinn on the scene around. It is, indeed,
ono which might well river tho utleni ion of
princes, one of thoso visions s Idom seen
and novor forgotten ; for within ti e precincts
of that little chapel Bits the throned sovereicn
of the British Empire, with her court and
princely guests, and surrounded by the
greutest and mo.-'t influential members of the
most inlloeiiti.il aristocracy in the whole
world. The building, so small, and yet so
rich in its contents, almost suggests the idea
of a grand jewel casket, and iu which all that
the nation most Tallies and reverences put
away for great safety. At last theto iu u
slight stir without, ami a subdued movement
passed through iho chapel as the glittering
uniform of the ollicers ofuruis is seen to pas
tho door. The trumpets were again beurd
ucarer, till nguin they dio away in subdued
cadence, which has an expressible soft and
beaulilul tiled, i he great utlicers ot btate
enter tho chapel, but no uue heeds thorn, for
mete is a peculiar movement without, unu a
soft rustling of silk is clearly audible.
AIM l l.e rustling of the siik reveals tlio
third picture of beitoiy in this royul wedding.
The brido enters, with her father, the Prince
Consort on ber right hand und the king or
the lielgiaos on the left.
All-absorbine is the interest excited by
the appearand of tho bride herself. Tho
gorgeous veil sho wears depending from her
head-dress is tlirowu oif, mid hanging in
massive folds behind leaves thu expression of
her face completely visihlo as she wa'.ks
slonly, her head slightly stooped ill bashful-
ness, nud her eyes cast tpou the ground.
liar Itoyal Highness wore a magnificent
dress of moiro untique, ornamented With three
llounces ol lloiution lace, in which materia!
the princesses of the royal fumily of England
have on these occasions invariably beeu
dressed. The desicn of tho lace for the
Princess Hoyal's dress consisted of boquets
iu open work of the roso, shamrock and
thistle, in three medallions, ulike renintkublu
for their beauty. At the top of each flounce,
in Trout of tbe dress, were wreaths of orange
and myrtle blossoms the latter being the
bridal flower of Germany every wreath ter
minated with boquets of the tame flowers.
The apex of tbis florid pyramid was formed
by a large boquet worn on the girdle thus
giving color, Variety and great lightness to
the costume. The train, which was of the
unusual length of Cve yards, was of white
moire antiiiue, trim ned with two rows of
j llonitiou lace, surmounted by wreaths simi
lar to most) on liie llounces or tue ilress. witti
boquets at short intervals. ller Koyul
Highness wore no diamonds a siuiple
wreath of flowers being ber only head orna
ment. A; Ilia bride pastes up to lie altar site
stops and makes a deep reverence to ber
mother, a:.J her face Mushes l.ke crimson,
then, ngiin turning, she rendered the same
homage to the Prince of Prussia. As she
does so, the bridegroom ehct advance, und,
kneeliug ou oue kuoe, presses her hand with
au expression of fervent admiration that,
moved the august uudicnco. Taking their
places then at the altar, ami with their illus
trious relatives staudiug round III a group of
unequalled brilliaue-.y, the service commences
with chorale, which peals throjuh thu lilt'.a
buildiug with tbe most solemn effect.
Thu marriage service over, and we have
the fourth and most touching picture of the
whole a sweet picture of human nature as
sorting the uustery over royalty and pagean
try, aud bringing before the altar the bride
of the palac to the same holy level of do.
mestic affection of the cottage.
Hardly had the ceremonial, as arranged by
cbamberlaiuB aud heralds, euded, when tho
bride giving veut lo ber evidently penned up
feelings, turued aud flung herself upon ber
mother's bosom with a sudden depth of feel
ing that thrilled through every heart. Again
und again ber Majesty strained ber to her
beurt and kissed her, aud tried to conceal her
emotion, but it was both needless aud iu
vaiu, for all perceived it, aud thcro were
uouo who did but share it. Wo uued not
mention how the bridegroom embraced ber,
and how, as the quitted bun with t. rs now
plainly stealing dowu ber cheeks, she threw
herself iuto the arms of ber father, while ber
royal busbaud was embraced by the Princess
of Prussia in a manner tu.it evinced all that
only a mother's love can show. Tba must
affectiug recognition, bowevnr, took place
between the bridegroom und bis royal father,
lor tue latter seemed overpowered wilb emu-
nou, auu toe loriuer, alter clasping iuui twice
to bit heart, knelt and kilted bis nareul's

For tbe last picture comes ono. sunnnsed

A Fighting Treacher.
When our revolutionary war first broko
out, and Congress called upon several States
to furnish regular regiments for the Conti
nental line, Peter Muhlenberg! a pastor in
the Tenth Legion, mounted his pulpit ono
lino mourning, told his congtcgntion ho was
going to War, und exhorted as many of them
us could nisu th.i pluck, to fullnw his ex
ample. His words took like wild-tire a re
g nient was soon raised and Peter himself
was appointed Colonel. Never was there a
belter choice. Peter fought even better
than he prajel. His regiment was every
where, where hard knocks were eoinir on at
Trenton, at Princeton, at Dramlrwinc. tit
OermniUown, at Monmouth, at York-town.
und Peter was always ot thu head of bis re
giment, t'o prominent was he upon such
occasion.1), that with some of his aduiirers ho
obtained tho name of Devil Pete, while by
tho army generally he was known as " Fight
ing Parson. His skill seem!) to have been
equal to his gallantry for in a short time be
bi came a General, and was one among the
highly esteemed of Washington's officers
Uu was a striking example of the fact that
a man tnahea none tbe worsi soldier fur ser
ving his Creator with fidelity.
Lren. llaveiock seems to havo been a man
of very much the same build of Gen. Muhlen
berg. He was one ol tho genuine, old school
Crorawel.i n breed a real " lenr-thol.ord-
ond-keep your-powder-dry " generation- Ho
proucued to ins men he prayed with them
and even liapt sed them. Ou ono occusion
he was Ci urt-mat t aled for this offence. An
inquiry into iho state of his regiment proved
so satisfactory that the Govnnor General
saiJ hu wished he would baptise the whole
army. Now, the exploits of this man and his
little fuice at'o absolutely murvi-lous. He
has shown nil the qualities of a great officer
om wo thy to take tlm placo by the sido
of Wellington und Marlborough. They
have shown nil thu qualities of tho best aud
bravest soldiers. They fought six battles in
six days, and each time against the odd g of
ten to one, nnd were victorious every time.
They marched through a swamp of fbesligbt
ing.ut every blep, in the burning climate of
India, tit the rate or fifteen or twenty miles a
day. They entered tho city they were sent
to relieve, and were immediately surrouuded,
and shut in by twenty times their number.
Nothing daui.t-d, they held on fur months,
lighting and victorious every (lay, and living
upon a few ounces of rice, without liny of tho
usual supplies of European soldiers. At lust
they wore relieved, und the old parson hud
the glory and satisfaction of having by his
indomitable bravery, perseveration und skill
suved the lives ot hundreds ot hts country
men! We cannot think of these things i f
the old man's simplicity his modesty end Lis
great exploits without feeling a disposition
to throw up our hats und ehout loud und
long lor thu brave old "Uuplist Preacher."
Thu exploits of llaveiock and his mou,
dissipate thu idea long entertained in Fug
land, aud opeuly avowed by n former Minis
try, thut tho more profligate the army, tho
better the soldier. It is our linn belief that
hones-ty, uiorulity, and abnvo all, religion, are
essential to man in thu performance of earthly
duty, oven the duty of a soldier, und here
after, if we ever hear a man dispute this
point, will refer to lighting old llaveiock,
and bis glorious regiment of true blue Bap
tist.", in support of our opinion. Depend
upon it, a soldier docs nut fight the worse

Tho Rattlesnake.
INcTRZDIIU.K RTOBV RKI.ATISn TO ITS PoiSON.
To give you an idea of the long time this
poison retains its property, I shall relate a
curious but well authenticated series of facts,
which took place in a central district of tho
State of Pennsylvania some twelve or Cfleeu
years ago,
A farmer was so slightly bit through the
loot by a rattlesnake, as be was walking to
view his ripening corn fields, that the pain
full. ws thought by him to buve been tho
scratch of a thorn, not having seen or heard
the reptile. L pon bis return home, befell
on a sudden, violently sick at the stomach,
vomited with great pain, und died witbiu u
few hours.

who ha I taken bis father's boots, put them
on ami went to church ut some distance.
On his lining tubed thut night, whilst draw
ing oil' his bot.ts, ho felt slightly scratched
on thu leg but merely mentioned it to his
wife, and rubbed thu place with his hand.
In a few hours afterwards he was awuUed by
violent pains ; complained of the generul j
giddiness frequently und expired bel. ro any
succor could he applied with success ; thu
cause of his illness was also quite u mystery.
In tun course of tune. Ins ellects were sold
and a second brother, through filiul a flection,
purchased the boots, and if remember right
ly, put litem 01 about two yeurs alter.
As h drew them on he felt a scralcn, und
complained of it, when the widowed sister,
being present, recollected that tlie tame
pain had been loll by her husband on tlio like
occasion. The youtu sullered und died in Uie
tame way that his brother died before them.
These repeated and singular deultis being
rumored iu the country, u medical gentleman
called upon the friends of the deceased lo
inquire into the particulars, and at once pro

cause of complaint, were brought to him,
when he cut uue opeu with cure, aud (lis-

mischief. Tu pruvu this satisfactorily! be

About the Usual dinner honr-yestorilny, the

persons were sitting in tho office of the hotel

mediately recovered herself and "went in"
again, and continued to lay on the stripes
thick and fast, until the pnrty ussailed cried,
"hold enough." Tho lady then desisted
from tlio nltaik, picked up her clonk, and
cooly wulkcd off apparently well satisfied with
the achievement.
The cause of this seminary chastisement is
thus related by the lady herself who is a Mrs.
It. II. Harry, a luily-physiciuli, who lias an
office on tho corner of Sixth and Mound
streets. The assailed party is Mr. 1'. H.
Myers, formerly a clerk at the iSonthgato
Mouse. M rs. li. states that on Tuesday eve
niug last, Myers called nt ber residence, und
proprosed to employ her us matron in a water
cure establishment which was about going
into o; oration that after discuss ng the ques
tion of salary, duties, Ac, he started to tuke
his leave but on rising he put his arm around
ber neck and attempted to kiss ber--a liberty
which sho indignantly resen el at tbe time,
and then followed the matter up by publicly
horse-whipping the offending individual iu the .
office of the Sotithgato House. This is tho
statement of the luiiy herself, (but which, we
are informed, tho gentleman denies.) The
husband of the lady resides iu Cleveland.
She came here about n year ago and located,
for the purpose of practicing her profession.

und as none havo succeeded, an attempt is
now in operation to lirihd hi in and his follow

"Fashionable ('onorkoatio.n." The news

or the opera, or other public assemblages of
a seculiar chaructcr, but the jndo ought not
to have anything to do in the Temple of the
Most High. Think of Paul peaching to u
"fashionable" congregation on Mais' 11:11,
or a greater than Paul delivering a sermon 011
the .Mount to a Humorous and fashionable
audience." True we have fashionable preach

"Many things the Indians may bj accused of,
but the practice of swearing they cannot. 1
liaVrt made many inquires into the slate of
their vocabulary, ar.d nothing is more bitter
or reproachfully than match anne-uioosh. which
simply, indicates bad dog. They have terms
to indicate client, liar, liner, murderer coward
fool, lazy man, drunkard, babbler ; but 1 have
never of an imprecation or oath. The genii',
of the laiiguugu does uot teem to favor lhe
formation of terms used in oaths, or fcr pur

Whispers it low to mn,
And the starlight hastens with it,
Over the starlight sea.
All trembling, the zephyrs tell mo
On the light wiuds hurrying past,
And my own benit quickly beating,
Coming, Coming at last.
The soft-lipped waveg of the ocean,
Gathering ot my feet,
Breeze-borne from the coral island,
Murmur the secret tweet.
There's not a dew ttoeped Illusion,
Or glistening orange tree,

To breathe Ibis joy to me. .

Stealing along the uir,

The weight of this braided hair;
And trust to the growing darkness,
A nd evening shadows dim,
To hide with their wings the traces
Of tears I've ebed for him.

Application of Manures.
The various modes of opplyirg manures
excite continual inquiry as to the best, the
most profitable, lurmers are olten induced
lo chaugo their opinions and their practices
after trying new uiodct which have been re
commended or tried by their neighbors.
ihe inquiry among practical farmers is a
very broad one, since thero is such a di
versity of soil and of ctop, as well aa of the
nature of the muuuro to be applied.
Still thero are general principles, applica
ble to all lands iu all latitudes and longitudes
These principles are made up from the ctu
ul trials and practices of farmers who have
acquired their knowledge iu tho open fields,
and octually reaped what they themselves
had sown. Such farmers often hearken to
new theories on the strength of the recom
mendation of others. Sometimes they are
gainers, sometimes losers by a chango of sys:
torn. Still they never lose sight of the main
chance. They are never so absurd ns to
place their manures on bean poles, or to bury
them ia pits out of the reach of the influence
of the utmosphcro.
It is uow pretty generally agreed amohg
practical farmers thai manures of all kinds
may be buried too deep in the furrow so
deep with a deep plow as to entirely destroy
their efficacy for a number of seasons, if not
forever. 1 he reason why this is so it uot ve
ry satisfactorily explained ; for it is proved
that mauures never work down to ony great
depth, else the subsoil would be valuablo af
ter many years of deep manuring.
One great point with farmers should be
to prevent loss of their Laru manures by
checking great fermentation. Strong ma
nures heaped up soon ferment and burn unless
much extra mutter is mixed in the pilo.
Some heaps heat so much as to turn white.
They aro "fire-funged," as the old farmers
used to express it, aud they are almost worth
less wheu this excessive heating has been
permitted. We iuclluo to thiuk that more
of tho essence of our manures is wasted by
this fermentation this heating process- than
in all other modes of waste.
It is certain that excellent crops of corn
are grown when tho manure from the
barnyard was buried no deeper tl an a common
harrow would bury it when spread on the sur
face. This wo Wo often see on dry ground
and in dry summers and with only a moderate
dressing of manure. So we fiud that all kinds
ofmanuio iipead in October and November
on grass land or meadow land, work well and
ii.crease the crop abundantly, though expo
Eod through the waiter lo all kiudt of w:a-tis-r.
Thu truth seems to be not much of tho ev
sence of baru manures is lost by cvaporn'.iou
when they are spread out where uo for.n.enu.
tion takes place. Still, if wo won'.rj secure
ull the essence of barn manures v a must mix
thflin with fresh earth itiimed"tr!v, or io tho
yard, or in the field with n ,ight 'furrow or a
hairow. When this is d jDe, no ellluvian, or
ammonia, is perc.ived tOpiaS oway. Massa

A Fathers Advice to a Son,
tlob, you are about leaving home for
Blrango parts. You're going to throw me
out ( the game, and go it alone. The odds
is against you Dob, but remember idways that
industry aud perseverance are tbe winning
cards i they aro the "bowors." Hook laming
and ull that so.t of things will do to till up
Willi, like stU'ill trumps, br.t you must haver
tho bower? to back 'em, else they ain't worth
shucks. If luck runs egiu you pretiy strong,
don't enva in ami look like a sick ch icken ou
a raipy day, but hold your hi ad up and make
.live you are flush trumps; ttey won't play
so hard agiu you. I've lived and traveled
n round some Hob. and I've found out thnt ai
soou as Llki thought yoi bill a weal;
hand, thoy'it oil buck agin you strong. So,
wheu vou'ru sorter wool;, keep ou a bold front
bu- play cautious ; be satisfied wilb a p'it'-t.
Many s the band I ve seen euchred cause
they played for too mucl'. Keep your eyes
well skinned. Dob ; don't let 'cm "nig" on
you i recollect tho game lays as much with
the bead as with Ihe hands. De temperate;
uever gel driluk. for then do matter how good
your hand, yon won't know how to piny it ;
both . buwers and ace won't save you, for
there's surliu to be a "miss deal" or some
thing wrong. And another thing, bob, (thi
was spoken in a low lone,) don't go loo much
on lhe women ; queens is hinder poor cards ;
the more you have of 'em, the worse for you ;
you might have three, ond nary a trump. I
duu'i say discard 'oc.i all ; if ym get bold nf
ouo thul.t a trump, it s all good, und there'
j a,rti" d " '
out or lour. And obovo
all, Hub, be honest ; never take a man' trick
wot don I belong to yon. nor "slip' cards, or
"nig," for then you can't look your man iu tha
face, and when that's the cusa there's no fun
iu the game it's a regular "cut throat." So
uow. Dob, farewell, remember wot I tell you.
and you'll be sure to win, and if you dou'l
turret you right if you get "skunked."
