BY D. A. k C. EL BUEHLER VOLUME XXVI. The Louisville Journal says: We defy any tasteful lover of poetry to read the following lines without exclaiming—" Mow beautiful!" My soul thy sacred hinge keeps, • My midnight dreams are all of thee ; For.nature then in silence sleeps, And silence broods o'er land and sea ; Oh ; l4 t* still, mysterions hour How on from waking dreams I start, To find thee but a fancy flower, Thou cherished' idcil of my heart, Thou haat each thottght and dream of mine— Have I in turn one thought of thine ? Forever thine my dreatnewill be, Whateer may *my fortune here ; I ask not love—l 'claim from thee Only one boon, a gentle tear ; May e'er Wen visions from above Play brightly round thy happy heart, And may the heams of peace and love, Ne'er from thy glowing soul depart, Farewell I my dreams' are still with thee, Hest thou one tender thought of me ? , My joys like summer birds may fly, Sly hopes like summer flowers depart, But there's one flower that cannot die— The holy memory in my heart ; No dews that flowret's cap may fill, No sunlight to its leaves be given, But it will live and flourish still, As deathless as a thing of heaven, My soul greets thine, unmasked, unsought, Hest thou for me one gentle thought? Farewell I farewell I my far of? friend 1 Between us broad blue rivers flow, And forests wave, and plains extend, And mountains in the sunlight glow, The wind that breathes upon thy brow 13 not the wind that breathes on mine. The star beams shining ou thee now Aru not the beams that on me shine. But memory's spell is with us yet— Caust thou the holy past forget ? The bitter tears that you and I May shed when'er by anguish bowed, Exhaled into tho noon-tide sky May meet and mingle in the cloud I And thus, my well loved friend, though we Far apart must live and move 1 Our souls when God shall set them free, Can mingle in the world of :ova ; This w as an ecstncy to me— Say, would it be a joy to thee ? BeauUnd Illustrallois. Rev. Willets, of Philadelphia, in il lustrating the blessedness of cultivating a liberal spirit, uses this figure : "See that little fountain yonder—away yonder in the distant mountain, shining likes thread of silver through the thick copse: and sparkliug like a diamond in its healthful activity. It is hurrying on with tinkling feet to bear its tribute to the river. Mee. tt passes a stagnant pool, and the pool hails it : 'Whither away, master siren mlet r '1 am going to the river to hear this cup of water God has given. '— Alt. you are very foolish for that—you'll need it before the summer's ever. It has been a backward ,spring, and wq shall hate iti'ltiititininfer to. parfor is= l -yitat will dry up then.' 'Well.' said the stroandet, 'if am to die so soon, ,I had better work while the day lasts. If lam likely to lose this treasure from the heat, I had better do good with it while I have it.' So on it Ivent, blessing and rejoicing in its course. The pool stuilod complacently at its own superior foresight, and husbanded all its resources, letting not a drop steal away.— Noou the mid summer beat came down, cud it feR upon the little stream. But the trees crowded to its brink and threw out their sheltering branches over it in the day of adversity, for it brought refresh ment and life to them, and the sun peeped through tbo branches and smiled compla cently upon its dimpled face, and seemed to say, 'lee not in my heart to Kara you ;' and the birds sipped its silver tide, and sung its praises; the flowers breathed their perfume upon its bosom; the beasts. of the field seemed to linger nearits banks ; the husbandman's eye always sparkled with joy as he looked upon rho line of ver dant beauty that marked its course through his fields and meadows; and so on it went, blessing and blessed of all "And where was the 'prudent pool ? Alas in its inglorious inactivity, it grew sickly and pestilential. The beasts of the field put their lips to it, but turned away without drinking; the-brettze stooped and kissed it by mistake, but shrunk chilled away. It caught the malaria in tho con tact, end carried:the ague through the re gion, and the inhabitants caught it, and bad to move away; and at last the very frogs cast.their venom upon the pool and deserted it, and Heaven, in mercy to man, smote it w . ha hotter breath and dried it up.

"I do want a cabin boy, my lad, but what's that to you ? A little chap like you ain't Ht for the berth." • "Oh, sir. I'm real strong. I can do a great deal of work, if I ain't so very old.

She let me come." "Well, sonny, where are your letters of recommendation ? Can't take any boy without these." Hero was a damper. Willie had never thought of its being necessary to have letteri from his minister, or his teachers, or from some proper person to prove to strangers that he was an honest and good boy. Now what should be do. He stood in deep thought, the captain meanwhile curiously watching the working of his 'im pressive fuco. At length he put his hand into his besom and drew out a little Bible, and without one word put it into the cap ' tain's bent. The captain opened to the blank page and read : "Willie Graham; presented as a reward for regular and punctual attendance at Sabbath School. and for his blameless con duct there and elsewhere: From his Sun day School Teacher." Captain 'McLeod was not a pious man, but he could not consider the case before him with a heart unmoved. The little fatherless child, standing humbly before him, referring him to the testimony of his Sunday School Teacher, as it was given in his little Bible, touched a tender spot in the breast of the noble seaman. and, clap ping IVillie heartily on the shoulder, he said : "You are the boy for me ; you shall sail with me ; and if you are as good a lad as I think you are, your pockets shan't bo empty when you go back to your good mother." The Dying Italian Mother's The plague broke out in a little Italian village. in one house the children were taken first. The parents watched over them, but only caught the disease which they themselves cuuld not cure. The whole family died. On the opposite side of the way, lived the family of a laborer, who' wus absent the whole week; only coming on Saturday nights to bring his earnings. His wife felt herself attacked by the fever in the night ; in the morning she was worst . ) ; and before night the plague spot showed itself. She thought of the tern ble fate of bei - neighbors— , She knew that she must die, hut sti ahe !Coked upon her dear little boys, she resolved 'hat to com municate death to them. She therefore locked the children in the room, snatched the bed clothes, lest they should leave the contagion behind her, and left the house. She even dettied herself the sad pleasure of a last embrace. Oh, think of the he. roism that enabled her to conquer her feel ings, and all she loved to die 1 Her eld est son saw her from the window. "Good bye, mother," said be, with his tenderest tone, for he wondered why his mother left him so strangely. "Good bye," repeated the youngest child, stretching his little hand out oh the window. The mother paused, her heart yearned toward her children, and she was on the point of turn ing back ; she struggled hard while the tears rolled down her cheeks at the sad sight of her helpless babes; at length she turned from them. The children contin ued to say, "Good bye, mother." The sound sent a thrill of anguish to her heart, but she pressed ou to the house of those who were to bury her. In two days she died, recommending her husband and children to their care with her last breath. I COUNTERFEITING No CRIME —Judge Metcalf made a decision at Bellefontaine, a shun time since, which will attract much attention. A man was indicted for utter. ing and forging a note for two dollars on the State Bank of Connecticut. at Hartlord. A writ of habeas corpus was sued out, and after full argument and consideration the prisoner was ditcharged, on the ground that the law of the State not only forbids the circulation, passing, or transfer of bills of loreign banks, of a less denomination than ten dollars, but in its second section it declares, "all such unlawful paper shall be held in this State to be worthless. and I all contracts in relation thereto, null and I void, and any disbursements, or paymedts, or exchange for other property of value, ar attempted to be made herewith, of no effect whatever." 'lite act charged was 'no oriole within the statute of fOrgery, be. cause no harm or advantage to apy one results, whether ihs.hill is true or false.— The genuine is declared by . the statute, worthless and void ; it has no legal axis. lance in the State, and cannot be the sub "eat of forgery, for there can be no Coun terfeit without a real thing. . TUE MOTIIER.-A• writer beautifully 'remarks that a man's mother i4.the repre sentative of his Maker., Misfortune and even'eriree, sot up no barriers between her and her son. While his mother lives he bas one friend on earth who will not W m when he is slandered, who will not de ,, serf him when ho suffers, who will soothe him is his sorrel's, and speak to him of hope when he is ready so , despair.

IP the days of the patriarchs, a wo man's' condlict was the index of her heart. When, for instance, the father of Rebecca asked her if she would go with the' per rant of Isaac, she immediately replied, "I will go." Rad she been a daughter of the nineteenth centusfy, she would have answered. "Pshaw, go with him ! Why Mr. Jane muss be sick I Go with hind Go with him I 'Of course I won't," and Ikea she would have gone wtih him. :.. P-47,1 Sxr.r.

I send to your paper some receipts that I have tried in my own family, and think the public should have a chance to berm. fit by the experience of an "Old house keeper."

WASIIINO iNDOWS.A. correspondent of the rhnerichn rigriculturist. gives the following improved mode of washing win dows, which althongli tint entirely new to Its, may be valuable to many °four readers: —The nicest article for washing windows is deer-skin, as no particles come off to adhere to the glass and in ake it lookas H mu* with feathers. There is no need of anything larger than a hand-basin for washing windows. Flowers. Each leaflet is a tiny scroll Inscribed with holy truth, A lesson that around the heart Should keep the dew of youth; Bright missives from angelic throngs In every by-way left, How were the earth of glory shorn Were it of flowers bereft! They tremble on the Alpine heights, the fissured rock they press, The desert wild with heat and sand, Shares too their ble.s'sednes.; And wheresoe'r the weary heart Turns in its dim despair, The meek-eyed blo.som upward looks, Inviting it to prayer. [Elizabeth Oakes Smith SHOVELING UP DOI:LAM—The barque Emily Banning, which left in Deceinher last, with three of the Nautilus Submarine Company's inaahine on hoard, bound on a pearl-fishing voyage, is now engaged in elploring the wreck of the frigate am Pedro, on I dle cost of Venezuela. This frigate, supposed to have no hoard some two or three of dollars, was Wotan up at the island VI a-g , irita in 1833. Her stern being blown out, the treasure wag scattered upon the surounding Sam,. Some three hundred thousand dollars have heretofore been taken up, but owing to the inefficiency of the insellinerY rmi• ploved, operations were suspended. The company fitting out the Emily Banning ordered her to atop there, and the trial de. scent of the first machine, sent d'own in 66 feet of water, brought up one hundred dnl!ars—thirty two dollars being found within the area covered by the Ma . chine, before moving. Other articles", as caper. &a., were, brought up at the ,time. The captain, finding the advan tage of combining the work, immediately left for the seat of government to secure the necessary privilege, which was gran.' Letters have been received from on board, during the absence of the captain, which represent the operator's' “shoveling dollars.' It is the impanel' of the com pany to blow the fragments of the ship to pieces, securing the' copper, guns, shots. etc. The 'captain write/ :' "The bells are all they are said to be." One'of the en gineers writes : wish you eoulb look nun the bell when we are down on the bOttOM with our spades, digging for the almighty dollar. We can look out of the windows of the boll and tee the fish loOk ing iu at us. We can take tho bottom op in the bell. and get out on the sand, and pick up the hell; and run all around where we like." Two months; it is anticipated, will be sufficient to take up every vestige of the San Pedro ; and the captain reports he lit' another vessel near him, in the same depth of water, 68 feet, with $50,000 on board in sPecie, and another with elk -000, both of which he will take up before proceeding on hie voyage. • giFEAALESS AND ME."
