VOLUME XXVI.
Amid the massof stuff which crowds our
newspapers and magazines under the name
of "Poetry" there ie sq little' which is even
respectable versification, that it is really
gratifying. occasionally, to find something
whose merit will support its pretensions
to. the name. But we think the following
verses are replete with del {este fancy, be
sides being eiceeCiagly musieal. We do
not know who is the author :
•
The Runatapped down from his golden throne
And lay in the silent we,
And the Lilly had folded her satin leaves,
For a sleepy thing wee she.
What is the Lilly dreaming of
Why crier; the waters blue 1
Seth see'. she le lifting her varnished lid,
Her white leaves are glistening through.
The Rose is cooling hie burning cheek
In the lap of the breathleu tide ;
The Lilly filth cigars both fresh and fair,
That, would lie by the rose's side ;
He would leave her better than all the rest,
And he would be fond and true,
But the Lilly unfolded her weary lid.,
And looked at the sky so blue.
.4/member, remember then, silly one,
How fast will thy Summer glide ;
And wilt thou winter a virgin pale,
Or flourish a blooming bride 1"
the rose is old, and thorny, and cold,
And lives on the earth," said she,
"Hot the Star is fair. and he lives in the air,
And he shall my bridegroom be."
•'Hut whnt if the stormy cloud should come,
And ruffle the silver sea
Would ho send his eye from the distant sky
smile on a thing like thee I
no. fair Lilly, he will not send
One ray from his far-off throne ;
The winds shall blow and the waves shall flow.
Acid thou wtit be left alone.
'Where is not • leaf on the mountain top,
Nor • drop of evening dew,
„IVor a golden sand on the sparkling shore,
Nora pearl in the waters blue,
That he has not cheered with his fickle smile',
And warmed with his faithless beam ;
And will he be true Us the pallid llower
That [hats on the quiet stream 1"
Alas for the Lilly ! ishe would nut heed,
Hut turned to the skies afar,
And bared her breast to the trembling ray
That shot frotn'the rising star.
The cloud ante over the darkened sky
Amid over the waters wido.
!Me looked in vain through the besting rain,
Antraank au the stormy tide.
The Victorious lAltle Boy
1 hal the following auto:data (tutu n geu-
ticuiau of rcncity
"A little bo g y in Connecticut, of remark
ably serious amid and habits, was ordina
•rily employed about a merchant's shop,
where nearly alt the bands were addicted
to the io n luau use of intoxicating liquors.
The- lad had imbibed temperance princi
ples, awl though often invited, could never
be induced to partake with any of the
shop's crew., Three or four of the hard
idrinicers iu the shop determined to force a
draw of rum down his throat by some
lucent. Seising an opportunity when he
was left alone in the shop with themselves,
they invited him to drink. fie refused.—
They told hint they would compel him.—
lie remained calm and unmoved. They
threatened him with violence. Still lie
neither scented angry nor attempted to
escape, nor evinced the slightest disposi
tion to yield, but insisted that it was wick
ed, and he could not do it. They then
laid 111411 of him, a man at each arm,
'while the other held a bottle ready to force
it into his mouth. Still their victim re-
snained calm and firm, declaring he had
never injured them, and never should, but
that God would be his friend and protee
tar, however they might abuse him. Th 3
man who held the bottle, up to that am
.rnent reiolute in his evil purpose, was so
struck with the non-resisting dignity and
•iunooeuce of the Ind, that, as he afterwards
confessed, almost with tears. ho actually
felt unable to raise his hand. Twice be
essayed to lift the bottle, as he placed the
nose of a in the child's mouth, but bis arm
refused to servo him. Not the least re
sistance was made in this stage of the pro
ceedicgs, otherwise than by a meek, pro
testing look; yet the ringleader himself
was overeotue by his feelings, and gave
over the attempt, declaring ho could not
and would not injure such an innocent,
conscientious, good-hearted boy. Such is
moral power. Such is the strength by
which evil may, sometimes, at least, be
overcome, with good. .
What makes Death.lleautlful
Leslie, in the hand-book for young
Fainters, observes that the beauty of death
ti not easily explicable. "How far," con
tinuos he, "its strange fascination may a
rise from the idea suggested of a repose,
compared with which that of the most trail
dquil Sleep is agitation, I do not pretend to
determine. I knew a man of the highest
~ order, of mind, a man of fine feelings, but
of great simplicity, and far abovVall affec
tation, who. standing by the corpse of his
wife, said, "it gives me very pleasurable
sensations." And yet he had truly loved
her. , The exquisite lines in the Glaonr,
in which 'the present aspect of Greece is
compared to a beautiful corpse, are &mil

"iireited, and even on the third day it is
often still finer. I have in several instan

The Chief of the Pollee
The National Police Gazelle gives a
graphio description of Matsel, the Chief
of police in New' York. We copy tho fol
lowing incidents
Many curious anecdotes are told of this
gentleman ; not a few of which are highly
amusing. Fancy a short, thick set matt
about five feet nine, nearly as broad as he
is long, Dutch built, of powerful frame,
neck rather short,• broad, nand face, and
a body which, if it were stretched out to
the proper point of gentility, would dou
ble his length, and you have the Chief of
police. Such a man, you would say, it
was impossible for him to disguise him.
self so as not to bo known by his most in
titnato friends. Yet such is the ease.—
He has sat beside his wife, and talked to
her many times, wondering when, the
Chief would come in, and she did not re•
cognize hint.
But it is not so difficult to disguise otte'e
self after all, if the physiognomy and
voice era altered. A. tube under the
tongue will alter the latter, and the former
can be transformed by an imitation goat-eo,
moustaqhe or.„tvhiskers. Matsel can do
what very few men can on or off the stage.
He can give the brogue of an Irishman
with its richness, the broken English of a
Dutchman, and the long drawl and broad
dialect of a Seoteliman, so perfect that a
native of either of these countries could
not bat be deceived. He can give the
"top o' morning" to Pat, "arrah, beware
ye ?" and to Sawney, "Hue aro ye, mon 1"
"eh, mon, glad tae see ye," nod to .
Dudley, "yaw, yaw," icons to come natu
rally. He is also an adept at imitating ,
the Frenchman and Italian. If the Chief
could not ()itemise himself, there would be
little use for blue on the Police Depart
ment of New York. There are men in
every sphere of life whose solo study is
how to shirk work and duty.
Did you ever see en old Dutchman
roughly clad, early on a summer's morn
ing, just before the break of day. going la
zily along in his milk cart, looking from
side to side, as if he were not quite certain
of the numbers and his customers i lie
pulls up suddenly, and alights just beside
a policeman who is taking a oomfortuble
nap on a door-step. Ho goes up to him
and gives him a shake.
Policeinau---Who the are you,
you Dutchman! What do you want?
! I catch you asleep,'
tell the chief. Help mine can off."
Policeman—'•No ; go along and don'
trouble Me."
The milkman goes along, but the po
liceman finds out before night that he had
bean talking that morning to the Chief of
Police. Sometimes, rather than face the
music, the poboeman resign •and- nobody
knows why.
Another illustration. It is it cold bit.
ter night, and a drizzily sleet gives evi
dence of un approaching snow storm. The
pavements are slippery, and the streets are
rather slushy. It is an hour when streets
are generally deserted. A stranger is
seen staggering through Broad street, he
is very respectably dressed, but his tongue
betokens his country : ho stops and looks
at a corner, but the darkness and sleet
render it impossible to discover tvThere ho
is. No lamp posts indicate the locality.•—
"Thunder an' 01111 H, New York is an
fornal place ! I wonder where the Police
are." On he goes, and at last he finds
"Can ye toll me where the Zouth Ferry
is, sir ?"
Policemnn—..Yes, Zir, follow your nose
and you'll come to it."
"Ooh, but you're funny."
On ho goes till be meets with another,
and the same question is asked and a civil
answer given, and he is directed how
t o go.
"Now, sir , I'm a ralo Irish gintleman,
and I think I have mot for once with an
American gintleman. Arrah now won't
you come .and take a glass o' Whis
key ?"
"No, sir. I don't need it, and you have
enough. Come along, I willl show you the
South Perry."
On a) two go until they reach Pearl
street, where a groggery stands. By hook
or crook the Irish gentleman would not
pass until they had a drink.
He was even so accommodating that he
would go in and drink himself and would .
bring a glass to the policeman. The pa
'iceman was proof. The stranger per
' sista in having a drink, and puts his hand
in his pocket for the purpose of pulling
money out, and while so doing, a number
of five dollar pieoes fall on the pavement.
Tho policeman curses his stupidity, lifts
the money up, puts it in his friend's pock
et, takea a pin and fastens it so that it may
not fall out again. The policeman, while
gathering up the money, is blunt enough
to tell him that there were men on iho po
lice who were more deserving of such mo
ney than a fool like him I but at the same
time refuses anything to drink or, money
for his trouble. The Irishman is conduo
to the ferry, and hero ends this mat
ter.
Next day two policemen are sent for to
the Chief s office, and they discover for
the first time that they had been talking to
the Chief the night previous. Tho one is
reprimanded, and the other, it is needless
to say, is duly promoted at the proper
time.
A. curious sect of religionists has arisen
in Rngland, called the Disciples. They
believe that Christ will appear in 1864 ;
that the Russians will triumph over 'the
Turks,, and the Jews over the'Russians ;
the latter event to happen in just ten years
tima, when the Jews will hew= a nation
in the Holy Land. Abraham,'lsaac, Ja.
cob, and the rest of the righteons Jews of
old, with a few elect among Christians, will
arise from the dead and live in, Palestine ;
but the heathen and the wicked Jews and
Ohtiatiana will sleep eternally.

SNPPort the 8 1 11 1111 0 4 7. •
Bishop Whitehouse, of 1110104, in, a late
address to the Coevention of his diocese,
spoke in terms of just and manly indigna
tion of the poor pittances often paid to
ministers of the Gospel :
"My next word is an echo—l thank
God it is so—echo to a theme which is
stirring interest throng , h
the Christianity
of our land—the inadequate support' of
the Gospel Ministry. - The whole is, only
an echo to another voice from the far. off
time in Palestine...o%lle laborer is worthy
of his higy". 1.
‘liiiiroan be no doubt that the sale
ries of the'ministry ate not merely 'below
their- services, but inadequate 'to~ their ac
tual wants, measured by a social standard
far lower than ought , to be. The relative
expense of living is so much 'advanced,
that the same sum must be regarded 'as a
painful reduction from the pMt • I know
I not what we can do but' cast the subject
before the honor and conecietioeuf the hi
ity. Ours is entirely the "voluntary aye
tern," sometimes regarded such to the de- 1
gree which permits promises for ministe
rial support to be broken, and pledges of
subscriptions to be unpaid. So far, we
have rejoiced that religion is free from all r
dependence upon the State, and the min
istry dependent only on the religious sense
of the country. It will be a sad hour if
that dependence bo found misplaced or in
sufficieut. I have no permanent appro.
hension that it will. lam too hoptiftil in
God and my country. Society is rousing
to the lamentable fact, that the clergy as a
body, are ill-requited. They have no rea
sonable maintenance eqvivalent to their
claims as educated, working men, resolute

of worldly wealth, dedicating to the

SPONGING ON Tlig PRINTER. -.-110r0

"The public have a funny notion about
printers. They think it costs nothing to
puff, advertise, &c. And thus one and
another will sponge au extra paper, a
puff, or some benevolent advertisement.
They forget that it, is his business that
makes their buisness known to the world.
They forget that it is the printer's ink
that makes nine-tenths of these immense
fortunes. They forget that it takes mon
ey to pay compositors—Ao btiy ink, type
and paper—and lastly, they forget to even_
thank you for working for. nothing, by
gratuitously puffing their business.
