Gliding down Life's rapid river,
Hurrying onwards, onwards, ever,
Tarrying for,a moment never,
See the years.ily fast.
Oh, for charm or spell to stay them!
But one moment to dela them,
Just while memory might array them
Round the-shadowy past!
Sure they say I—bright eddies dashing,
In the glorious sunlight flashing,
Silver circles . , crossing, crashing,
• Light, and fresh, and free.
See ! the very skies above them,
Bending, bless, caress and love them,
Onward still :—no smiles can move them
Sinnling on the wave before us,
Fall night shadows dimly o'er us,
And an echo rings sonorous,
From the sounding sea.
Speaks a Voice that is not mortal;
Wirt is this by Death's dim portal,
Under angel's bright escortal,
Near the solemn sea t
And the waters, answering never,
Still keep hurrj , ing onwards ever,
And in silence, Life's deep river,
Meets the silent sea.
Gentle Words—Loving Smiles
Tne son may warm the grass to life,
The dew the drooping flower,
And eyes grow bright and watch the light
Of Autumn's opening hour—
But words that breathe of tenderness,
And smiles we know are true,
Are warmer than the summer time,
. And brighter than the dew.
It is not melt the world can give,
With all its subtle art,
And gold and gems arc not the things
Sl3 461 60
To satisfy the heart:
But oh, if those who duster rou
'rhe altar and the hearth,
Have gentle words and loving mil
How beautiful is earth!

One of the most remarkable men that eVei
lived was John Randolph, of Roanoke: Ile
was born the 2d of June, 1773, at Matoax,
the seat of his father, three miles above Pe
tersburg, Va. g in his veins were blended
the aristocratic blood of England and the
blood royal of primative America. His
lordly bearing, aboriginal descent, eccentric
career, and extraordinary eloquence, early
fastened the attention of his countrymen
upon him, and through many years engross
ed popular regard to a wonderful degree.
Mr. Randolph made his first appearance
in public life in 1799 i as a candidate for a
seat in Congress, and was elected.
'When he entered Congress, his youthful
aspect, among other striking traits, attracted
universal surprises . As he presented him
self at the Clerk's table to qualify, the offi
cial demanded his age. "Ask my constitu
ents," was the characteristic reply.
Mr. Rondolp soon became a marked man
in the national councils. Hiffearless thought,
pungent language, withering sarcasm, and
'general poWer as a prompt and passionate
debater, attracted the admiration, as well as
excited the dread of all parties within Con
gress, and Without.
John Randolph was about six feet high.
He had elevated shoulders, a small head,
and a physiogomy all the parts of which
were entirely uniatelleCtual, except the eye.
His hair was dark, thin and lank, and lay
close to 'his-head. Flis.voice was shrill as
a fife, but its clear shrieking tones co:dd. be
distinctly heard by a large audience. The
muscles and. skin about his face were shriv
eled and cadavarious, like wrinkled parch
ment; his whole form was so attenuated and
meagre, that tall as-he was, his acquaintances
supposed him. not to weigh any more than a
hundred and, thirty. pounds.
The author of Clinton Bradshaw, who en
joyed a favorable opportunity of observing
this strange being, has giv e,n.us, the graphic
description of his person, habilinaepts, and
manners:
. "I-Es long, thin legs, about as thick as a
walking cane, and of much such. a shape,
Were encased in a pair of light, stria!l pante-
Icoas,so tight they seemed part and parcel of
the wearer. Handsome' white stockings
were fastened with great tidiness at the
knees, by ri gold buckle, and over 'them,
coming about half way up' the calf were a
pair of what I believe were called ,hose,
country knit. He wore shoes.

dolph's was the reverse of this. Instead of
being fantailed, it was *hat I believe the
knights of the needle called swallow tailed;
the collars Were immensely large; the but
tons were in kissing proximity, and they
sat at, close on the breast of the garment at
the feastera of a croirded• festival. His waist
was as remarkably slender that as he stood- 7
with his arms akimbo, he could easily, as I
thought, with his long bony fingers, have -- ;
spanned it. Around him, his coat, which
was very tight, was held together by one
button; and in consequence, and inch or
more of tape, to which the . button was at
tached, was perceptible where it was pulled
through the cloth. About his neck he wore
a white cravat, in which his chin was occa
sionhlly buried as he moved his head in con,
versation ; no shirt collar was perceptible ;
every other person seemed to pride himself
on the size of his, as they were then worn
large. Mr. Randolph's complexion was pm
cisely that of a mummy—withered, saffron;
dry and bloodless, you could not have plac- .
ed a pin's point on his, face where you would
not have touched a wrinkle. His lips were
thin compressed and Colorless, the . chin,
beardless as a boy's, was broad for the size
of his fade, which Was small; his nose was
straight, with nothing remarkable in it, ex=
cept that which was to short. He wore a
fur cap, kvhich he took off, standing a feW
minutes uncovered. Fancy a dead man
struck into life by lightting, and all his life
in his eye, and you have a picture of John

The Great Rothschild.
We yesterday dined at to meet the
Rothschilds, and very amusing it was. He
(Rothschild) told us his life and adventures . .
He was the third son of the banker at Frank ,
fort. " There was not," he said, " morn
enough for us all in that city. I dealt in
English goods. One great trader came there
who had the market to himself; he was quite
the great man and did us a favor if he sold
us goods. Somehow I offended hirn, and he
refused to show me his patterns. This was
on a Tuesday ; I said to my father, " I will
go to England." I could speak but German.
The next Thursday I started: The nearer
I got to England, the Cheaper were goods.
As` soon as I arrived in Manchester, I laid
out all my money, things were so cheap. I
made good profit. I soon found that there
were three profits: the raw material, the
dyeing, and the' manufacturing. I said to
the manufacturer, " I will supply you with
the mw material and dye, and you supply
me with manufactured goods." So I got
three profits instead of one, and I could sell
goods cheaper than any body. In a short
time I made my twenty thousand pounds into
sixty thousand. My success all turned on
one maxim. I said, I can do what another
man can ; and so I am the match for the man
With the patterns, and for all the rest of
them !' Another advantage I had. I was an
off=hand man. I made Jbargain at once.- 1 -
When I was settled in London, the Bait,
India Company had 800,000 pounds of gold
to sell. I went to the sale and bought it all.
I`knew the duke of Wellington must..have
it. I had bought a great many of hiS bills
at a discount. The government sent for me,
and said they must have it. When they
had got it, they did not know how to get it
to Portugal ; I undertook all that, and sent
it through France; and that Was the best
business I ever did." Another maxim upon
which he seemed to place great reliance,
was, never to have anything to do With an ..
unlucky place or an unlucky man. "I have
seen," said he, "many clever men, very .
cleVer men, who had not shoeS to their feet;
I never act with them. Their advice sounds .
very well, but fate is against them ; they
cannot get .on themselves; and if they -can
not do good to themseives, how can they do
good to me 1"
By the aid of these maxims he has aciptlit •
three millions of money: " I hope," said
" that your children are not too fond
of money and business to the exclusion of
more important things. lain. sure you would
not wish that.' , •
• „I am sure I should wish that. I wish
them to give mind, and soul, and heart, and
body, and every thing to business, that is the
way to be happy. It reqUires a great deal
of boldness, and a great deal of caution, to
make a great fortune ; and when you havd
got it, it requires ten times as much wit to
keep it. If I were to listen to all the projects
proposed to me I should ruin myself very
soon. Stick to one business, young man,"
said he to Edward ; "stick to your brewery;
and you may be the "great brewer of London:
Be a brewer, and ti banker, and a merchant;
and a manufacturer, and you Will soon be id
thh Gazette. One of my neighbors is an
ill-tempered man I he tries to vex me, and
has built a great place for swine, close to my
walk. So, theti Igo out, I hear first grunt;
grunt, Squeal, squeal ; but this dotis me •nd
harm, lam ahvays in a good humoi.' Some , •
timesoo amuse myself, I give d beggar ti
guinea. He thinks. it is a mistake, and.for
fear I should find it out, off 'he runs as fort
as lie can. I. advise you to give a .
beg r ; ,
guinea sometimes, It' is very arrinsing .
