It Is a glorious eve--the stream • Without a murmur passe. by, And on Its breast, with fettered beam, The sleeping Mars so sweetly lie, 'Twould seem as if the tempest' • plume Had swept through woods of tropic bloom, And imitated down their blossoms bright To deep upon the wives tonight. And aes—u bangs the moon aloft, Her beams come gushing through the air So mild, so beautifully soft, That wood and stream seem stirred with prayer, And the pure spirit, as it kneels At natands holy altar, feed* Religion's self come floating by In every beam that cleaves the sky. There's glory in each cloud and star, There'. beauty in each wave and tree, And gentle voices from afar Are borne like angel•minstrelsy .; In such a spot, at such an hour, My spirit feels a spell of power, And all beneath, around, above, Seems earthly bliss and heavenly love. On, Mary. idol of my life, My heart's young nets, my were sweet bride, Dear soother of my spirit's strife. I would that thou wert by my side, • And I would kneel on this green sod In love to thee and praise to God, And, gazing in thy gentle eyes, Dream but of thee and Paradise. I see thy name in yon blue sky, In every bound thy name I bear, All nature paints it to my eye And breathes it in my listening ear I real it in the moon's sweet beam, The starlight prints it on the stream, And wave and breeze and singing bird Speak to my soul the blessed word. BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT. A correspondent of the Baltimore Re publican thus explains the music of the water spirits: "During several of my voyages on the Spanish main, in the neighborhood of Par aguay and San Juan de Nicaragua, from the nature of the coast, we were compell ed to anchor at a considerable distance from the shore ; and every evening, from dark to late at night, our ears were delight. ed with &Mien music, that could be heard beneath the counter of our schooner. At first I thought it was the sea-breeze sweep ing through the strings of my yiolin, (the bridge of which I had inadvertently left standing;) but after examination I found it was not so. I then placed my ear on the rail of the vessel, when I was continually charmed with the most heavenly strains that ever fell upon my ear. They did not sound as close to us, but were sweet, mellow and wrist, like the soft breathings of a thousand lutes, touched by fingers of the deep sea-nymphs, at an immense die. Lance. Although I have considerable music in my soul, one night I became tired and de termined to fish. My luck in half an hour was astonishing ; I had half filled my buck et with the finest white catfish I ever saw ; and it being late and the cook asleep, and the moon shining, I filled my bucket with water, anti took fish and all into my cabin for the night. I had &It yet fallen asleep, when the same sweet notes fell upon my ear ; and getting up, what was my surprise to find my "cat-fish" discoursing sweet sounds to the sides of my bucket. I examined them closely, and discov ered that there was attached to each lower lip an excrescence, divided by soft, wiry fibres, By the pressure of the upper lip thereon, and by the exhalation and dis charge of breath, a vibration was created, similar to that produced by the breath on the tongue of a Jew's harp." So you see the Naiads have a band to dance by. I should like to hear the mock ing bird try his skill at imitating this sub marine melody. You know the Bob.e. link with his inimitable "sweetness long drawn out 1" At a farmbouse occupied by my father-in-law, one of , these rich warblers came and seated himself on a rail near the window and began to sing. A cat-bird, (our New England mocking bird) perched near and began to imitate the notes. The short, quick, .beb-o'.link,' 'bob-o'link, he isoultlpaster very well ; .but when it came to the prolonged trill of gushing melody, at the close - of the strain, the imitator stopped in the'midst. Again the botrogink poured fourth his soul in song; the mockingbird hopped nearer, and listened most inte n tly. The bob-o'. link, as if conscious that none could imi tate his god-given tune, sent forth a Clear er, strouger, richer strain than ever. The mocking-bird evidently felt that his reputa tion was at stake. He warbled all kinds of notes in quick succession. You would have thought that the house was surround ed by robbins, sparrows, whippowills, black-birds, and linnets. Having shown off his accomplishments, he again tried his poireil on the altogether inimitable trill.— The effort he made was prodigious : but it w as mere talent trying to copy genius. He couldn't do it. He stopped, gasping in the midst of the prolonged melody, and flew away abruptly, in evident vexation. Music, like every thing else, is passing from the few to the many. The art of printing has laid before the multitude the written wisdom of ages, once locked up in the elaborate manuscripts of tho clois- I ter. Engraving and daguerreotype spread the productions of the pencil before the whole people. Music is taught in our common schools, and the cheap accordion bring" its delight to the humblest class of citizens. All these things are full of pro phecy. Slowly, slowly, to the measured sound of the spirit's music, there goes round the world the golden band of broth erhood ; slowly, slowly, the earth comes to its place, and makes a chord with hea ven.

THE ALMOND BLOSSOM. "Dear Mamma," said a little girl to her mother, u they were walking together in the garden, "why do you have so few of those double almonds in the garden ? You have hardly a bed where there is not a tuft of violets, and • they are so much plainer. What can he the reason !" "My dear child," said the mother, "ga ther me a bunch of each. Then I will tell you why I prefer the humble violet I" 'I he little girl ran off, and soon returned with a fine bunch of beautful almond and a few violets. "Smell them, my love,'' said her moth er, "and try which is the sweeteat ?" The child smelled again and again, and could scarcely believe herself that the love ly almond had no scent, while the plain violet had a delightful order. "Well, my child; which is the sweet est 2" ..0 dear mother, it is the little violet !" Well, you know now, my child, why I prefer the plain violet to the beautiful al mond. Beauty without fragrance, is, in my opinion. something like beauty with out gentleness and. good temper in little gills. When any of those who speak without reflection, may say to you : What charming blue eyes I What a fine com plexion !" without knowing whether you have any good qualities, and without think ing of your defects and failing, which ev erybody is born with, re:nember then, my little girl, the almond blossom : and re member also, when your affectionate mother may not be there to tell you, that beauty without genleness anti good tem per is wortldess."—London Child's Com panion. THE HARDEST KICK YET There Wan attorney practising in our courts, who has attained a great notoriety among numerous things for bullying wit nesses on the opposite side of cues when he is concerned. As it would not be polite to give his name right out in the crowd, we will merely call him .Way ke,' for short.— There was a horse case—a very common case upon our magistrate's dockets—try ing before Esq.. Snellbanker, one day, in which Wayke happened to be engaged.— A slow and easy witness had been called to the stand by the plaintiff, who, in a plain, straight forward manner, made the other side of the case look rather blue,— The plaintiff's attorney being through, Wayke commenced a regular cross exam ination, which was cut short in the fol lowing manner:-"Well what do you know about a horse; are you a horse doc tor ?" said the barbarian in his peculiar contemptuous and overbearing manner.-- "No, I dont pretend to be a horse doctor. but I know a good deal of the nature of the beast." "That means to say that you know a horse from a jackass when you see them," said Wayke. in the same style —looking knowingly at the court, and glancing triumphantly around the crowd of spectators, with a telegraphic expres. sion, which said, "now rvd got him on the hip." The intended victim, gazing intently at his legal tormentor drawled out —"Oh ye-as—jest so—J'd never lake you or a horn." The Supreme court of the United States could not have preserved its gravity through the scene that followed.— The lick back produced a regular stam pede, and the bushel of suspender buttons that stuck to the ceiling above brought a regular shower of plaster upon the heads below. Every body was convinced, that whatever the attorney might be, the wit ness was a host-,-Cincianati Despatch. MILKING us Aurrasms.—This is a very serious operation. First, say at four o'clock in the morning. you drive the cows into the stockyard, where rho calves have been penned all the previous night, in a hutch in one corner. Then you have to comment., a chase after the first cow,. who, with 11 perversity common to Australian females, expects to be pur sued two or three times around the yard, ankle deep in dust or mud, according to the season, with loud halloos and a thick stick. This done, she generally proceeds up to the full, a kind of pillory, and per mits her neck to be made fast. The cow safe in the tail, her near hind leg is stretch. ed out to its full length, and tied to a con venient post with the universal cordage of Australia, a piece of green hide. At this stage in ordinary cases, the milking com mences; but it was one of the hobbies of Mr. Jumsorew, a practice I have never seen followed in any other part of the col ony, that the cows' tails should be held tight during the operation. This arduous duty I conscientiously performed for some weeks, until it happened that one day a heifer slipped her head out of an ill fasten ed fail, upset milkman and milkpail, char ged the Head Stockman, who was unloos ing the calves, to the serious damage of a new pair of (nations, and ended, in spite of all my efforts. in clearing the top rail of the "lock yard leaving me fiat and flabber gasted at the foot of the fence.—Seeotes in the Life of a Bushman.

TEE PIPE AMR THE CIOAR.—The habit of smoking is, we believe, a most injurious as it is one of the most seductive in the world. Dr. Laycock with truth, that it has a must baneful effect upon the stomach, the lungs, the heart. the brain, and the nervous system. The tobacco consumed by habitual smokers varies from an ounce to twelve ounces per week ; the usual qusntity, from two, to thee ounces.— Inveterate cigar smokers will commute from four to five dozen per week. The first morbid result is an inflamatory eon.: dition of the mucous membrane, of the lips and tongue. then the tonsils end pharynx suffer, the mudous membrane becoming dry and congested. If the thorax be ex amined well, *ill be found slightly swol len, with congestive veins meandering o ver the surface, and here and there a streak of mucous. The action of tobacco smok ing on the heart is depressing, and some individuals who feel, in this organ more than others, complain of an uneasy sensa tion about the left nipple, a distressed feel ing, not amounting to faintness but allied to it. The action oflhe heart is observed to be feeble and irrAuhr. An uneasy feeling is also experienced in or beneath the pectoral muscles, and oftener on the right side than on the left. On the brain the use of tobacco appears to diminish the ' rapidity of cerebral action, and check the flow of ideas through the mind. It differs from opium and henbane, and rather ex cites to wakefulness, like green tea, than composes to sleep ; induces a dreaminess which leaves no impression on the mem ory, leaving a great susceptibility, indica ted by a trembling of the hands and irritabil ity of temper. Such are secondary re sults of smoking. So are blackness of teeth and gum-boils. There is also a sal low paleness of the complexion, and irres oluteness of d ispos i dun, a want ofli fe and en ergy. and in constant smokers, who do not drink, a tendency to pulmonary phthisie. Dr. Wright of Birmingham, in a commu nication to the author, fully .corroborates his opinions; and both agree that smoking produces gastric disorders' coughs and in tlamatory a ff ections of the larynx and pharynx, diseases of the heart, and low ness of the spirits, and, in short, is very injurious to the respirstOry, ,alimentary, and nervous system—City /ten. rue Daumuao's Sos,—"Mother, this bread, is very bard ; why don't wo have cake and nice things as we used to when we lived in the great house f 0, that was such a pretty house, mamma, and suck a pleasant garden—all filled with flowers ; and you made such sweet music with your fingers, and Pa would sing.

SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF.A TREASURE. —On the grand route of l'ouille, in the kingdom of Naples, there was a statue of marble bearing this inscription in the Nea politan dialect : "The first day of May, at the rising of the sun, I shall have a gold en head." The statue had already stood there two hundred years and no ono had yet discovered the meaning of the myste rious inscription. A stranger, (a Saracen, says Castelani in his memoirs) passing through the country, read the inscription and thought that ho had divined its sense, but did not communicate to any one his suspicions. The first of May having al ready passed, he departed, but the succeed ing year lie arrived in the country on the last day of April. The next morning he resorted to the spot before sunrise, and having remarked the spot on which fell the shadow of the bead of the statue, at the precise moment when the sun arose above the horizon, he dug up the earth there, and found immense treasures.
