Thus the prond eagle to the mountain hies,
When darts assaiiand dangers round him rise;
Perches securely on someTefty peak,
Smoothes his gay plumage, whets his mighty beak,
There sits majestic and with piercing hen,
Looks down conlemptnans on th’ abodes of men.
And SO may all, with lofty thoughts inspired,
By nature .gifted, and by genina fired,
From want and darkness force their upward way,
To thefpll (iilaze of intellectual day.
Troubleaittay come, and threatening.clouds arise,
Their path to darken, and I’ obscure the skies;
Envy may sneer and try to pull them down,
Slander may,bite qpd Jealousy may frown;
But every foe before the mind must fall—
Untiring labor will o’ercome them all,
E’en as the axe, with many- a soundiog stroke
With, crash tremendous, fells the proudest oak.”
SELECT MISCELUM.
AW affecting incident.
Looking over the columns of this journal ]
for ifae past fortnight, we light upon the fol
lowing marine item:
“ Bark Harvest arrived at this port yester
day, in 43. days from Liverpool. Gapt.
Crawford reports having experienced west
erly winds during the whole passage. In a
hurricane on the lllh insh.lat 40° 20 min.
long 63° 30 min. thirteen steerage passen
gers were washed overboard, in trying to get
aft after the s|jip had broached to.”
Short and to the point is the foregoing; no
sympathy will it excite ; the terms in .which
it is presented are 100 much like the tabular
statements of the weekly bills of mortality to
move the general heart to grief —the reader’
roads it and passes on to the next paragraph
with simple indifference. But there are
hearts to whom it will come like the knefl of
the last hope—homes where it will fail like
Egyptian night, crashing out all that is fair
and beautiful in existence upon earth, and
making s desert of despair, where erstwhile
bloomed the fragrant flowers of hope.
In conversation with Mr. Cass6ly,.of the
office of the Commissioners of Emigration,
he related the following case:
The other day a portly gentleman of sixty
years or thereabouts, whose face bore the in
dex of his benevolent .heart, came into the
office of the Commissioners. Following him
was a neatly attired, good-looking Irish wo-j
man of about thirty-five years of age. The
old gentleman walked up to my desk, and
striking a heavy gold-headed cane upon the
floor with marked emphasis, demanded—
“ Where are the Commissioners I I must
see them immediately!’’
I replied that the Commissioners were not
there, but if ho had business with them we
could attend to it fdr'htm. With another
rap or his cane upon the floor, he said :
“ Well, Sir they ought to be here, then—
thev ought to be here. What else do we
want them for, if they can’t attend to their
business ihemselves V’
I saw it would be vain for me to attempt
in reason with him, no I let him proceed, his
(-holer everv moment augmenting, and bis
cane becoming more emphatic.
“ Here is a.poor woman looking for her
children, and I tyant you to find them for
her; do you hear t I want you to find
them (with.another rap.of,bis cane) immedi
ately, Sir.” 7
“ What ship axe they Mining inT’.T asked.
“ They have pome already, end she ckn’i
find them ; ih« ship is already inpori,'? | "
Turning to the woman, Isaid,‘‘mv flood'

with arrest, left. 1 then learned that the wo,
man had come all the , way from i Vermont,
where* she had left a husband-and three ohilf

aged respectivelyflS, H, ■ Of course
they were readily found upon the manifest,
but my heart almost turned to ice when 1 1
saw written against the name of each :
"Wasied overboard .” J
Fearing to shock iheqtoon mother with too
sudden ft revelation of-her.;bereavement, I
-asked her if she had bepn long expectiogber
children. - .
“ Oh,- yes, Sir, the husband -first .left fluid
Ireland and came out,-and (oiled and scraped
until'he aimed 'money enough for- mefeelf
and the three childer that’* here, to come out
wid. And, Sir, the parting <wid the other
darlints was a sorer IbroUble ; but thin I
knew they’d soon follow us. And whin I;
came here, Palhrick, that’s mehusband, was
.taken sick, -in Varmont;bnt-1 worked meself,
night and day, and got the bit -and the sup
for him and the childer. And thin I-hep’
scraping and saving*!® bring out' the others
and every sthray sixpence I could; ait nlput
away in the ould stocking,untillhadenough
lo pay their way out here wid. I sent thim'
the money, nigh foorteen weeks -since, and
niver an hour-since that 1 didn’t, in mo heart,,
pray-to the-Blessed Virgin to kape thim from
har-rra. And now, sorra, they’re here in
this haythenish city, and meself;- their own
mother, can’t' find ’em.” ’ •' ,
I told her that when ahe seat for her chil-,
dren, she must have expected that they
would necessarily be exposed to many dan-.
gers, coming alone and unbefriendod as-they
were. I told her she must not be alarmed if
we could not find them for her.
She quickly replied"*'
“I’ll find’’em if I sarch the world over;
I’ll not real me till 1 see me childer.”
“At length,” said Mr. Caasely, “.I told
her that they were dead —l told her they
had been washed overboard, and never never
shall forget the fearful.shriek that burst from
her very heart as she looked at me with a
kind of idiotic incredulity, and then saw—
realized the whole of the sad truth. ..She
tore off her bonnet tad shawl, and clutching
her hair, pulled out handfuls of it by the
roots as she bewailed her lost ones, and ejac
ulated in the most agonizing lone :
“ Shure a good God wudn't be go cruel as
to kill my dear, my darling childer. Ph,
Sir / won't believe. it / the presto, says He is
our Heavenly ’Father ; and a father loves bis
little ones.” In this way she raved for a
long time ; at last she became less violent
and left the office, declaring her determina
tion not to go home or near her husband
and the other childer. She said she would
go to see a friend, and we have not seen her
since. This is one of many such scenes in
the office of the. Commissioners- - N. Y.
Tribune.
A BAT STORY.
The following rat story was related lo us
by a neighbor, and did it not come from a
source which entitles it to the utmost credit,
we aboutd feel somewhat dubious about the
truth of (be . matter; but as it is, we believe
every word of it:
Our neighbor says that he was very much
hsrrassed by these animals, and had devised
various plans for .their destruction.. Among
the expedients employed was a barrel placed
upright, which he had prepared by sawing a
hole in the upper head about .six inches
square. Bait was put in this barrel near the
bottom, just. above a few inches of water,
hoping the rats might be induced to jump in
and be. drowned.
Prom time to time the delicious morsel
was. taken away and no rata entrapped-
Peeling.anxious to know by wbat.meansthia
was accomplished, he himself in a
favorable -position to watch : progress,. The
secret was;soonl.out. Several.rats soon col
dee ted, one larger than the real taking, the
lead. This one let himself down ..into the
barrel by clinging to the edge tof the-open..
iog. Near this;Was a small auger hole.in
which he; inserted one of .his.fore, paws, while
iwith the other be clung -to the -edge of itbe;

ovarthe Wooded hill or the frcsh-green, valley
shouting a- glad answer to every vpice of na
ture,and clasping her lillle hands in.the very
eoslacy of . young-existence, she - looked as if
- breaking-away dike n-freed nightingale from
the earth, and going .off where .all things
were beautiful and happy like her.
it was a morning in the middle of August.
The little girl hod been aomodaysat my fa
ther’s - house, and .-she was now to -return
home. Her path Jay across- thefields, apd
[gladly became lhe companion of.-her walk.
I never knew-a, summer morning more, beau
tiful nnd istrll. Only one Hale cloud.,was:
visible,-and that-seemed as.pure/and;while•
and peaceful, as if it-had .been, the incense
smoke of some burning-oensor of the skies.
The leaves bucg silent -in the weodsfthetya
ters of the bay had forgotten tbeirundula
tioos, the flowers were bendingttheir,r r , heads
as if dreaming of the,rainbow aud the dew,
and the whole atmosphere was oC.sucn a soft
and luxurious sweetness, that it seemed a
aloud of roses scattered, down by the,hands
of b Pari.ftom the far off; garden* of* Bub
dise. The green earth-and blue-sea ware
abroad In their boundlessness, and the peace
ful shy bent .over and blessed them. .The
little creature at my side «■ in a-delirium
of happiness, and her clear sweet voice, came
ringing upon -the air os .often ,as she., heard
the tones of a favorite bird, or found some
strange or lovely flower in her frolic wander
ings. The unbroken and.almost supernatu
ral tranquility of the day continued until
nearly noon. Then, for the first time, the
indications of an approaching tempest were
manifest. Over the eummit .of a mountain
dt (he distance of about a,mile, the folds of a
dark cloud became suddenly visible, and, at
the same instanti a hollow roar came down
upon ihe-wiods as.if it bsd been, the sound of
waves in a rocky-cavern. The-cloud rolled
like a banner-fold upon the air, but still the
atmosphere Was calm and the leaves as
motionless as before; there was net-even -a
quiver-upon (be sleeping Waters lo tell of the
coming hurricane. To . escape the tempest
was impossible. - as - the only resort we fled
to an oak, that stood -at the foot of a (all rag
ged precipice. Here we remained and,gazed
almost-breathlessly upon the clouds, marshal
ling themselves like bloody, giants in thesky.
The thunder was not frequent, but every
burst was *0 fearful that the young creature
who stood by me, shut her eyes convulsively,
clung with desperate strength to roy arm,
and shrieked as if her heart-would .break. A
few minutes and the'storm was upon us.—-
During the height of its fury, the. little; girl
lifted her finger towards the precipice, (hat
lowered above us. I looked.up and-an ame
thystine'flame was quivering upon its grey:
peaks, and the-next moment the clouds open
ed, the rooks tottered to their-foundation, a
roar like the-groan of a-Universe .filled the.
air, arid I felt myself blinded and thrown, I
knew not whither; How long I remained
insensible I cannot; teH5 but when conscious
ness returned, (he violenceJof the tempest was
abating, (be roar of the winds dying , in ibe
tree tops, and the deep tones OMhe thunder
coming in-fainter murmurs from the eastern
hills. < .• ,
I arose, and locked trembling tod almost
delirious around. She was dear

Sentence paisi&upon Galileo ty the Court
of Innutrition: ■ ' ■ -
Whertas; you, Galileo, son of tho -late
Vioqent ; Galileo, of FlorenCe, being eevenly
yea'is of age, had a charge brought against
yeti in the year 1615, in thfs’boly office; that
you held ds' true and erroheoua opinion held
by many, tiamelyTftbt (he shn is'the
center of the wbrld, and immovable. and that
the earth mp»eiB''eveh dlurnal 'moßbtf ;
alsojthat y ou- had certain scholars'into whom
youinsillled the satpe doctrine; afso, that you
bri 1 thispoinf
with certain inathecnaiiciahs of Germany;
also,, that you, pubUshe'd certain epiiilea, trea
ling of thesolar spots, in which you explained'
the same doctrine, as true, because you an
swered to. the objections which, from tipie to
time, were brought. against you, taken from
the holy acip(ur.es,.by glossing oyer the said,
scripture according to your own .senses and
that afterward, when a copy of a writing, in
the form of an epistle,, written ,by, you ton
certain late scholar of yours, was presented
to you. (it following the hypotheses of Coper
nicus,) you stood up for, and cer
tain propositions in it, which are against the
true sense and authority of the holy scrip
ture. t
This holy tribunal, desiring,'.therefore, fo
provide against Ihejhcdnveniences and mis
chiefs, which have issued hence, and in
creased, to the danger of pur holy faith;
agreeable tp the mandate of Lord N
and the very eminentdoctors, cardinals of this
supreme.and universal inquisition, {wo.propo
sitions respecting the'immobility of the; sun
and the motion of the earth, were adopted and
pronounced, as under:
That'the suh is ib the center of the - work!,
and immovable in respect'of local motion, is
an sbjilrd proposition, false in philosophy,
formally heretical, seeing it is expressly con
trary to holy scripture.
The earth is not the center of the World,’
nor immovable} but moVes, Oven with a diur
nal motion is also ah absurd proposition, false,
in philosophy, .theologically,
is at least an error in Afith. .
• But, whereas, w? thought fit in the interim
to proceed gantly with you, it.was agreed up
on in the holy,congregation held before !). N.,
on the 26th day of Eeburary, i6l<s, that the'
most eminent lord cairdinafßqtlarroine should
enjoin you entirely 10/ececje ffom the afore
said false doctrine, and shouldnot. teach it to
others, nor defend il, nor dispute concerning
it; to which command if you would not.sub
mil, yon should be cast Into prison t and, in
.order to-put,in execution ;the same decree, on
the following day you wete gently,admonish

of all the requirements of honor—rpfalli ha

This w.e shall show: and in the firs! place,
jet-us remark, that,, the .-pretence by which
the acl-was.carrlcd was, fraudulent s a false
bood ou*e face of it, and ..designed-only as
a (popular catch for the unreflecting. It pur*
ported to,give the right of self-government to.
the people.of the territories; but it did no
such thing.; It.denied that right in the
most important particulars, and mystified it,
so in others as to render it worthless. . Nomi
nally, conceding the. “ non-intervention*’'.of
Congress in the local affairs of the territories,
it yet intervene in every form in which ipi
tervention .is possible.. It Imposes (ho Gov
ernor and all other officers open them; it
it proscribes the most unheard-of oaths to tha
people; it restricts (he suffrages of actual
citizens; it places in .the hands of the Presn

fulijffo, character of .the community-; aqd it
authorites noilegislalion which i» BOl.subjecJ,
directly or indirectly, to control tha federal,

which ia established is the permission, to in

islative control, hitherto exorcised by the
representatives of the whole people, to a bo. a
dy of judgus appointed, by the executive. ,ll
had no othev eqd, frpra the .beginning, and m
that end it has succeeded.’’
" An open disregard of thewill of the con*,

pardonable is it, when it is committed in fur*.
theraoce of measures which look to theover*

had it contemplated.some,great and useful,
improvement or. reform there would even,
then have existed no excuse, for the haste,
the violence and the audacity with which it
was pressed to o vote; but when we reflect
that its principal object was, to repeal* salu
tary ordinance against the diffusion of a pesti
lent and lamentable evil, wo search, dictions-,
ries in vain for words to express our feeling
of the magnitude and malignity of the wrong.'
“ Away, then, with the flimsy pre tea l (hat.
slavery is banned by.what Mr. Webster cal
led 11 the laws of Godby natural position
and circt/mstanoes! These «ve admit, have
much to do with the prevalence and strength,
of the system,—but they are not omnipotent
nor final, are only accessory, either,
for it or against it, —and the will of man, his
determination to abide by (lie perennial prin
ciples ofi right, or surrender"them to a tern?
porary and. short-sighted spirit of gain,—is
what gives character ia - this respect to sooie-J

hereafter look to Nature or any. other influ

“ We’ are* indeed, so far from being per
