On mountain wild, in desert drear;
Mid polar snows, in bunting-sands,
And charming menet of fairly lands;
Traversed the trackless ocean met,
Stood on Italia's classic shore,
On isles, where birds in plumagegay,
Sport mid the trees the livelong day ;
In mines of gems ; on coral strands.
Where pearls lie hid in golden sands ;
Wandered mid ruined pilee, and read
The record of thq mighty dead ;
Drank at the well of Science, knelt
At Beauty's shrine, with Power dwelt;
With Reason's torch, on Fancy's wing,
Flew to the utmost echoing
Of “ehiming spheres," and, 'raptured, heard
The music of the seraph world ;
Scanned the whitle realm, earth, sea, and iskr
Dove to the deepest mystery ;
Quard every cup that wealth could buy,

What founts of joy spring up within my heart ;
They little think, that more than all their wealth
Could buy, is mine—l'm richer than they all.
My mansion lies far out of mortal sight.
My treasures ate where thief can never steal.
Nor moth corrupt. My joya, this fleeting world
Can neither give nor take away. I have

Who careth for me. I hunger not, for when

And lam fed with angel', food. And when

Damp ground, or in some broken shed I seek
For rest, the curtains of hie love are drawn
Around use, end my Goal is warm, for in

there is a God, and inspires a reverence

while it diffuses a sympathy through the

How It's Doso at the Astor.
A LIQUORARY SKETCH.
IT rAIONWpDaIi•
A small party of comity merchants, Wa
ders. &c.. were catbMg around New
York one evening, miteltg the lions, and
their cicerone—by the way, "a native,"
who knew what was wha—took them up
Broadway, and as they passed the Astor
House, says one of the mangers :
"Smith, what's this thunderin' big
house 1" ,
"Oh. ah yes, this," isays the cicerone,
Smith, "this. boys, is a great tavern—fine
plus to get a drink." i
n t
"Well, be hooky. let all go in."
In they want ; taki a private room ,
or a small side parlor , e country gents
requested lihni th lo 6;oe talking, and or
in the liquor. 8011 k called for a bill
of fare, upon which MOM "invoiced" more
"sorts," and' harder fluted wines and li-
quors, than could be eisinaued to mem-
cry in a week. i'
"That's it," says %ilk marking a bill
of fare, and handing it tsa servant. "that's
it.—taro bottles, bring 'es op:"
Up came the wine t pit was, of course,
elegant. The countrytentsiroziassit-m.
they had never tasted such stuff before, in
all their born days.
"Look-a-here, mister p " says one of the
business men, agot any more uv that
wine r'
"Oy, yes, sir!" nye the servant.
"Well, fetch it in.'
"Two bottles, sir ?"
"Two ganders ! No, bring in six bot.
ties ! I can go two on 'em myself," says
the country gent.
The servant delivered his message at the
bar, and after a few grimaces and whis
pering, the servant and one of the bar-keep
ers, or clerks, carried up die wine. Says
the clerk, whispering to Smith, whom he
slightly knew :
"Smith, do you know the price of this
wine 1"
"Certainly I do," ea* Smith ; here it
is invoiced on the catalclius, ain't it 1"
"Oh, very well," says the clerk about
to withdraw.
'"Hold on !" says one tithe merry coun
try gents, "don't snake, your handsome
countenance off so quick :_do yer want us
to fork rite up for these tanks f" hauling
out his wallet.
"No yer don't," says another, hauling
out his change.
"My treat, if you please, boys," says
the third. pulling out a handful of small
change, "I asked the, party in, and I pay
for what liquor we drink&be thunder!"
In the midst of their suittiustesni, the
clerk observed it was of no importance
just then—the bill would be presented
when they got through. This was satis
, factory, and the party went on finishing
their wine, smoking. &c.
"'Spoils we have some rale champaigne,
boys," says one of the gents, beginning to
feel his oats some.
"Agreed," says the rest. Two bottles
of the best "sham" in "the tavern" were
called for, and which the party drank with
great gusto,
"Now," says oue of. them. "let's go to
the theatre, or someplace where there's
a show loin' on. Here you mister"--to
the t—"go fetch in the landlord."
"The landlord, sir I" says Pat, the ser
vant, in some doubt as to the meaning of
the phrase.
"AV, landlord—or that chap that was
in here just now, tell him to fetch in the
bill. Ah, here you are, old feller ; well,
what's the damages 1" uka the gent. so
ambitious in putting the party through,
and hauling out * handful of keys, silver
and coppers to do it with.
*•Eight bottles of that old fiim.flani.di
rip-raP," pronouncing one of those fancy
gamboge tides, found upon an Astor house
catalogue, "ninery-sfx dollars--"
"What I" gasped the country chap.
gathering up his small change, thaPhe had
began to sort out on the table.
"And two bottles of •Bchrider.' and et
pre--seven dollars," coolly continued the
bar clerk ; moue hundred and three dol
lars."
"4 hundred and three thunder and—"
"A NONDIteD AND TWIRL DOLLARS I"
cried the country gents, in one breath, all
starting to their feet and putting on their
hats.
"The clerk explained It, clear u mud ;
the trio "spudged up" the amount, looked
very sober, and walked out.
"Come, boys," says Smith, "let's go to
the theatie."
"Gueu not," say, the boys ; "Whose
we'll go home for to-night, Mr. Smith."
And they made for their lodgings.
It these country gents were asked when
they got home, any particular, about thc
elephant, they'd probably hint something
about getting a glimpe of him at the Astor
House.

A VISIT TO THS MIMIC/1N CATIOCORAL
—A correspondent of the Washington U
nion, writing from the city of Mexico
lays :
"One day last week I •pent a whole
morning (six hours) in the Cathedral and
its treasures. By special favor they show.
ed us every thing, among others the cus
todian, in which the consecrated host is ex
posed on certain occasions. It cost $2OO,
000, but is worth $500,000 ; and you will
not wonder at this when I inform you that
it is full four feet high, made of solid gold,
and studded with precious stones. The pe
destal is a foot and a hall square, inlaid with
diamonds, and rubbles. At each corper is
the golden figure of an angel, exquisitely
carved. Around his waist and neck are
strings of the finest pearls. His wings are
inlaid or covered with diamonds, rubies,
and emeralds. In his right hand he holds
■h of wheat, made of yellow topaz ; 1
in his left bunches of grapes made of ame
thytis. The shall is also studded with
diamonds and rubies. The upper part,
I containing the host, is made to represent
the sun, and is a foot and a half in °imam*
&reline ; the rays that emanate on one side
are made entirely of diamonds of the first
water, beginning with some of large size
and grad ually tapering off. The cross
that surrounds the top is also on this side
made of diamonds. and Se superb. On the
other side, both the cross and the rays are
of the most beautiful emeralds—perhaps
larger than the diamonds."
Monson' Mass or Pena Corm.—
We stated a day or two since that the

copper uncovered than could be got out

have since ascertained the dimensions of

'The Church Struck by Lightning.
The Danvill Democrat gives the follow
ing parlilOilap of an occurrence which was
briefly noticed - in our last:
On Sunday afternoon last, [April 11
the new Methodist Church in this place
was struck by lightning, while the e.ongre
gation was assembled, and kneeling in
_prayer immediately previous to the Lorre
supper. The electric fluid struck the
steeple and separated in two currents after
resetting the main building, one pluming
along a rafter to the outer wall in front of
the building and discharging itself into the
ground near the entrance door, part of
which teas scattered and torn—the other
entering the ceiling and passing along the
iron lamp rod into the midst of the congre
gation, and from thence along the floor
rafter to the stone wall on the Eastern side
of the church, where it entered the ground,
knocking off a considerable portion of the
plastering in the basement story, and tear.
ing up several pews and a portion of the
floor in the church itself. The scene
Which followed can better be imagined
than described. The shrieks of the wom
en, the groans of the dying. the horrorand
Consternation of the men, the scattering
and stacking of the falling timbers, the
vivid and fiery appearance of the fluid be
wildering the senses, the sulphurous smoke
diffused throughout the house—formed a
scene altogether above our powers of des
eription.
Mrs. George Peneyl, a highly respec
table lady, was killed almost instantly, and
expired a few minutes afterwards in the
arms of the minister.

daughters of Mrs. Jos. Diehl. Mrs. Ken

a large number of other person, are

although there is a prospect of his reitavr
