Written by the Hon. Mrs. Price Blackwood. I'm sitting on the stile, Mnry, Where we ;.t side by side. On a bright May morning Ion? ago, When first you were my brides The coin was springing fresh and green. And the lark sang loud and high, And the led was on thy lip, Mary, And the love light in your eye J. The place is little changed, Mary ; The day as bright as then, The laik's loud song is in my ear, And the corn is green again I Uul I miss the soft clasp of your hand, And your breath warm on my cheek, And I still keep lisl'iiing for the woid : You never more may speak. Tis but a step down yonder lane, And the littlo chuich stands near Th' church whpre we were wed, Mary, I see the spire from hcje ; But the graveyard lies between, Mary, And my step might break your rest. For I've laid you, darling, down to sleep, With your baby ou your breast. I'm very lone now, Mary, For the poor nrnko no new friends ; But oh ! they fovc thee better fir, TJip fcwrwn father sends ! And you were all I bad, Mary My blessing end my pride ; There's nothing left to circ for now, Since my poor Mary died I I'm bidding you a long farewell, My Mary, kind and true ! B.it I'll not forget you, darling, In the land I'm going to; Thry say there's bread and work for all, And the sun shines ulwnyg there ; Dut I'll not forget old Ireland, Were it fifty times as fiir ! And often in those grand old woods I II sit and shut my eyes. And my heart will travel back again 'Co the place where Mary lies; And l'il think I see the little stile Where we s.it side by side, And the rpriuging corn and the bright May morn, When first you were my bride ! A Capital fetory. The last New York Spirit of the Times has an admirable story, called The Bio Bear of AnKAxsts." We ake a fragment showing that small lusquitoes would be of 'no use in Ar aiisias,' and setting forth Uiq merits of certain dog. 'Where did all that happen!' asked a ynical looking hoosler. 'Happen! happened in Arkansaw; there else cou'.d it have happened, but l the crea.Vion State the finishing up ountry a state where the sile runs own to the centre of the 'arth, and go cfament gives you a title to every inch f it. Then its airs, just breathe them, nd they will make you snort like a orse. It's a state without a fault, it is.' 'Excepting musquitoes,' cried the oosier. Well, stranger, except them, for it re a fact that they arc rather cnor lous, and do push themselves in some hat troublesome. But, stranger, they ever stick twice in the same place, and ivc them a fair chance for a few lonths, and you will get as much above lcm as an alligator. They can't hurt ly feelings, for they lay under the skin ; nd I never knew but one case of inju- resulting from them, and that was a nnkee: and they lake worse to for gncrs anyhow than they do to the na ves. But the way they used that fel w ! first they punched him until he veiled up and busted, then he sup-ner-t-ted. as the doctor called it, until he as as raw as beef; then he took the jer, owing to the warm weather, and tally he took a steamboat and left the nintry. He was the only man that ;cr took musquitoes to heart that I low of. But musquitoes is natur, and never find fault with her; if they are rge, Arkansaw is large, her varmints e large, her trees are large, her rivers e large, and a small musquito would j of no more use in Arkansaw, than caching in a cane-brake.' This knock down argument in favor big musquitoes used the hoosier up, id Hie logician started on a new track, explain how numerous bears were in s 'diggings,' where he represented em to be 'about as plenty as blackbcr is, and a little plentifuller.' Toon the utterance of this assertion. timid little man near me inquired if c bears in Arkansaw ever attacked e settlers in numbers. k 'No,' said our hero, warmincr with the I subject, 'no,' stranger, for jou sec it arn't the natur of bar to go'in droves, but the w ay they squander about in pairs and single ones, is edifying. And then the way I hunt them theold black rascals know the crack of my.gun as well as they know a pig's squealing, They grow thin in our parts, it freight tens them so, and thev do hate the noise dreadfully, poor things. That gun of mine is a perfect epidemic among iiur 11 nui waicuuu. cioseiy, u win go oflfas quick on a warm scent as my dog Uowic-knile will; and then the dog, whew! why the fellow thinks the world is full of bar, he finds them so easy. It's lucky he don't talk as well as think, for with his natural modesty, if Jie should suddenly learn how much he is acknow- lodged to be ahead of all other dogs in the universe, he would be astonished to death in two minutes. ' What" season of .the year do your hunts take place?' inquired a gentle- manly foreigner, who, from some pe- culiaritics of his baggage," I suspected to be an Englishman, on sonic hunting expedition, probably, at the foot of the llocky Mountains. The season for bar hunting, stran- cer, said the man of A rkansaw. 'is pen- erally all the year round, and the hunts take place about as regular. I read in history that varmints have their fat sea- son, and their lean season. That is not the case in Arkansaw, feeding as they do upon the spontenacious productions of the sile, they have one continued fat season the year round though in win ter things in this way is a little more greasy than in summer, I must admit. For that reason bar run with us in warm weather, but in winter they only wad Ar t.'o, ri .' - - . i die. lat, lat! us an enemy to speed j. Urns, over, ,i3 ta.' plenly of it.

Where abouts are these bear so a bundant?' inquired the foreigner with increasing interest. Why, stranirer, they inhabit the neighborhood of my settlement, one of the prettiest palaces ol Old Mississippi a perfect location, and no mistake : a place that had some delects until the river made the cut ofl, at 'Shirt-tail- bend,' and that remedied the evil, as it brought my cabin on the edge of the river a great advantage in wet wea- ther, I assure you. as you can roll a bar- rcl of whiskey into my yard in high water, from a boat, as easy as falling oflfa log ; it's a great improvement, as toting it by land in a jug, as 1 used to do, evaporated it too fast, and it became expensive.

Such timber, and such bottom lanJ, why vou can't preserve any tiling natural you plant in it, unless you pick it young, things thar will grow out of shape so quick. I once planted in those diggings a few potatoes and beets, they took a line start, and after that an ox team wouldn't have kept them from growing. About that time I went otrto old Kentuck on business, and did not hear from them things in three months, when I accidentally stumbled on a fellow who had stopped at my piace, wun an idea 01 otiying me out. How did you like things ? said I. Tret ty well, said lie: the cabin is conve- nicnt, and the timber land is good, but that bottom land ain't worth the first red cent. Why? said I. Cause, said he. Cause what ? said I. Cause it's full of cedar stumps and Indian mounds, said he, and it can't be cleared. Law said I, them ar cedar stumps is beets, and them ar Indian mounds ar tater hills, as I expected the crop was overgrown and useless; the sile is too rich, and planting in Arkansaw is dangerous. I had a good sized sow killed in that same bottom land; the old thief stole an ear of corn, and took it down where she slept at night to eat ; well, she left a g'UfS1" two on the ground, and lay down on them; before momine the coi n shot up, and the percussion killed her dead. I don't plant any more, natur intended Arkansaw for a hunting ground,-and I go according to natur, Southern Chronicle. TIic Opium SmohlRS Sliop.

There are twelre Stairs in the Union which en courage the culture of Silk by special bounties. In the LrgUlaicire of New Yoilt a similar jmliey has been ailrocatcJ and has probably before now receiv ed the sanction of law. We find in a Northern paper the following state ments of facts relative to American Silk : The silk of America is found to contain fibre stronger and of a quality superior to that of almost any other country. Specimens have been exami ned by the Chamber of Commerce nt Lyons; and other Intelligent Frenchmen, both here and in lint country, have examined and attes!d the truth of this important fact. The cause of this superiority may bo traced eilber to soil, or what is more proha blc, to our fine and serene climito during summer. Not long since specimens of American raw silk, were shown to a veiy intelligent ribon-weaver from England, and he pronounced them altogether supe. rior to any European or India silk he Lad ever wo ven in his native country. This speaks loudly in favor of the quality of Ameriean silespccial'y such as is produced in the Northern latitude. The co coon from which this silk was reeled, were made on the cold mountains of Litchfield county, Conn Silk is also successfully raised at Penobscot, Maine, in 45 deg. north latitude. In further proof of t!io good qualities of American silk, Mr. Whilinarsh, nf Nnilhampton Muss., who in 18L!'J had pjwer looms sufficient lo turn ofl"4,00l) yards tf ribbon daily, be tides machinery for sewing silks and braid, hh "I have used the si;ks of France, Italy, Tuikey Chi ni and bengal, in the prognrs of manufacturing, and give the American the preference by twenty -five per cent." It is alo an ascertained uct, Hint Iroin a givjn quantity of cocnons, one-third more silk may be reeled in France or Italy; and the loss ot worms has not been as much in this, ai in tlios? countiies, The imposition of ilk goods into ibis country for the year ending Septemlicr 2!ih, I SU'J, amoun ted to $23,800,01)0. It is estimated that during the last ten yeirs tho United Stales have paid more than $ 150,000,000 for silk manufactures of foreign production. The attempts at the culture of silk in the t'nited States have been made chiefly in the Northern States. Massachusetts piid last year in bounties to the growers of silk nearly three thousand dollars Dut it will occur to every one that the climate of this latitude and farther South must be better adip- ted to the culture than that of the more northern portiona of the country. Tho imposition of a twenty per cent duty on French silks would be of great service in promotin; growth and manufacture of the article in the t'ni ted States. In the whole list of our imports there is no item which can with more propriety lie mnde the subject of such a duty. It would yield a hind omesuin to lhe revenue ; the tax indirectly ievi.d by it would be drawn chiefly from the wealthy and the farther bcnelicuil re-ult from tne import would be to e;ie uragfl the culture and manufacture of si'k at home.

Important Discovery, Last Fridsy Di. tiuchonnan gave a lecture ox planatoiy of a new discovery in the ncrvou system, by means of which he ia able in some instances to control both the minds and bodies of hi patients, The pi nib men and ladies who have been the sub jects of his experiments declare that they feel the current of their thoughts and feeling changing from ti'r.e to time, without having the pi vrer to prevent it. At one lime they think of the past, at another time of the future. Their idea are borne times clear and snmrtimos confused beyond the power of recollecting themselves. At one tune they are lulled into gentleness and good humor st another, they arc transported beyond all self control by f.-eiings of a desprr te and pugnacious character. We have witnessed but lew of the experiments its j as I ourselves, and consequently are rather skeptical to the reality of the feeing produced. At the pub-' lie Icc'uro three gentlemen weie experimented up- Tho fir-t attempt ws to produce drowsiness and sleep. In a sliort time droweincrs became ap parent. The eyelids of the gentleman fell and his head reclined. His hands bcciine cold, clammy and benumbed ; they were agitated by convulsive trem- lings, of which he srrmcd to be unconscious, and he was unable to keep them still. The effect pro duced b.-ing comideicd rather too powerful, Dr. 13. in a few moments revived him without going o fat as lo produce sleep. The principal experiment upon the second gen tleman was to cause the thought to wander and . . ..... a cxcito memory or reminiscences, in mi tne doc tor succeeded rcmaikably wall. At fiist the gen tleman remarked that hi thou gate were scattering and confused ; then that they were upon his past life; and, finally, that he could think of nothing but hi childish spoils and the days of hi infancy The experiment upon tho third gentleman was to excite the pa.seioiis and produce impatience, an ger and leseiitmeut. In this the doctor was also sue cessful, for in a few minutes bis feet and legs bt' gan to work in a violent manner, and he remarked that he woulJ like to stamp something. In a mo ment more he sprang to his feet, with a stern aud determined cxpiession of countenance, but shortly- recovered hia self-possession. Ark. Times, UlcliartUni.' Arttlerattd Steamboat, We have befote us a drawing and description of a new kind of steamboat, invented by Col. J. S. Hi- chaulaon. Its leading peculiarity is, that by means of a huge balloon, or gas-holder, shaped like a cu cumber, and extended lengthwise over the boat, (or rather boat, for there are two hulls connected by a deck and saloon above,) the latter is raised out of the water, except th keels and paddles of tho wa ler wheel, thus reducing the reactance of the wa ter to almost nothing, end yet using it for tho pur poses of propulsion and steering. The plan is in genius, but how it v-!ll succeed in practice, we shall know better when the experiment is mado. Col, Kicliaruson and his associate have announced their intention to builJ and put in operation one of these boats in the North Iliwr. The Balloon is to made of duck and divided into seciions, so that in case of I cing perforated by a vessel's boom, or other cause, on'y a sma'l part ol" the gu3 would escape. Snppotinj the plan to operate in practice as it pre s-nN it-elf iu theory, a rate of speed would be at tained that would distance all other travelling ex pedieii!. It is ea-v enough to see, that with s eam power applied to the water as in other steamboat and wi;h littlo resistance from the water, the boat must aj ahead" with asloniehing rapidity. .V. Juui Com. Fearful C'olllflon. The terrifying collision which occurred at sea a short time since bet n evil a Philadelphia ship and another unknown, is thus described in tho Noilh American : The packet ship Su?quehinna, as she lies near Walnut t'.rcct wharf, is a cuiios ly. She has liter, ally been rescued from the jawa of the great deep. Sue came in collision with another ship off the Hank of New foundland on the 8th hint, at 4 o' clock in the morning. The night was not dark, but the sea was running high, and they did not dis cover each olhet until the fearful collision' The Susquehanna's bowsprit is taken off clean, and the cut-v.it'r torn anJ wrenched from the thip iu a way which shows the encounter must bae been tremendous. She was running at the late of nine knots, and shipping sets constantly at the lime. Tho impression on hoard the ttus.iuehanna is that the blow was so hard and so near the centre of the other ship, lhat she must have been totally disabled, if n t stove in, causing her to sink immediately. Afier lhe collision, she dewed rouud and grated pat tie Susqjchanna, with such rapidity, tbtt no opportunity waa given to discover who the wa or tha 'extent of her injuries. Ilia irripressinn on botrj i that sha wss an East Indismao, or some ship of the Urges class; ami as tba cut-water of the Suiquebanna 1 lake low down, sha waa upon the lop, ofa sea at the moment of the col'.i slon. Consequently the oilier ship must have suf fered the more severely. No cries were heard, and in the confusion of the crash, and anxie:y for self preservation, no distinct knowledge of the charac ter of the olher ship could be learned. The opin ion on board is, that the man at the wheel of Ihe ill-fated ship must have been killed instantly. The whole of tho painful encounter is only another evidence of the unavoidable, hazards of navigation. Perhaps the ship instantly foundered, and in one 'MI awooj." all on board ei u.luivd inio eler- nity together. If eo, her futo will never satisfacto rily be known, and the history of thc engulfed with her must continue to ba involved in doubt aud obscurity forever. An Iitlcvesttiisr Itrl'n.
