O ! what is man t half brute, half angel ;
Small, piteous, needy glorious, great ! ,
And thousand fortune, thousand changes, 1 ,
And thousand blessings ar his late. .
To him ara borne the sweetest pleasures;
And often one too quickly flies.
H' harrasssd by a thousand evils : '
He lives, grows old, unnerve, and die.
I see Creation's great achievement ; , ,
Admire, fall prostrate down in prayer;.
Perceive that, in God's chosen image, , , '
I am on earth, the First the Fair.
Swift phantasy supplies me wings,
And carries me to worlds unknown; , , ,
And swift, all freed from transcient things, .
Dust turn to dust : Earth claim it own.
Immensely great infinite tittle ;
Of weakness full creative strong ; t .
Of sea and land the mighty ruler ;
The tlave of vie and passions throng !
Thus man ascends to lofty greatness ;
Brave nature, fortune, time and fate;
He sink in fetter, pines in darkness,
And falls below ths brutal state.
He preaches wisdom', sings to virtue,
With incense doe their altar lave, . "
Forget himself, and wsites hii powers, -
Sink in voluptoou arm a slave;
Dreams of beantitnde in deserts,
Awake doe shudder and repent;
Strives manly against every passion,
And owns his good ytt weak intent.
Thou masterpiece from lands Divine,!
Should this thy only portion be T
Should thy creations aim her end ?
Shouldst of thy life no object see T
No I for eternity God made thee;
For greater glory, brighter light.
And every evil every blessing,
He sent thee but to guide thee right.
The error of the years of childhood '
Shall to the man experience prove;
If only after toil and danger '
That true repose is worth our love.
When we, with searching looks for knowledge,
Aspire to wisdom, truth and light,
Then only does our heart feel rapture,
When, shades dispelled, our vision's bright.
Yonder, where distant suns do move,
Tbe glory of the world I'll see ;
Behold Jehovah's might and love,
In robes of lov and majesty
The clouds do vanish from the sky;
I see what hidden was before ;
With angel's strength I mount on high,
And suns and planets are no moie.

and when opposite an open hall, he exclaimed,
'there is e big poisonous spider on your back.'

The Horrors or Vr. - .
' There sre few persons who will be able to
read Ihe following brief sketch, without feel
ing sensation of pain and sorrow at the hor
rors of wsr, and its many touching and heart
rending incident. The account is given in a
letter, dated Monterey, October 7th, addressed
to the Louisville Courier:,
. "While I wss stationed wilhoor left wing in
one of the forts, on the evening of the 21st, t
saw a Mexican woman busily engaged in ear.
rying breed and water to Ihe wounded men of
both armies. . I saw this ministering sngel raise
the head of s wounded snsn, give him wster
and food, and then carefully bind up his ghastly
wound with s handkerchief she took from her
own head After having exhausted her sup
plies, she went back toher house to get more
bread snd water for others. As sho was re
turning on her mission of mercy, to comfort
other wounded persons, I heard the report of a
t:n, snd saw the poor innocent creature' fall
dead ! I think it wss an accidental shot that
struck her. I would not be willing to believe
otherwise. It made me sick al heart, and turn
ing from the scene, I involuntarily raised my
eyes towards hesven, snd thought, great God!
snd t thia war ? I'sssing the spot tho next
dsy, I ssw her body still lying there, with the
bread by her side, snd the broken gourd, with
s few u tops of water still in it emblems of her
errsnd. Wo buried her, and while we wire
digging her grave, cannon balls flew around
us liko hail."
, War, as Affettim) the Dckation of Hw
man Life. A soldier's life is generally suppo
sed to be the most hazardous of sll professions,
snd the timid see in the dsngers of wsr s suffi
cient reason for entering into a profession less
destructive to humsn life. It will be consoling,
however, to those martial spirits who sre an
xious to engage in the Mexican war, to know
that the profession of arms ia but little morn de
structive of the individual chances of life than
the most peaceful pursuits. Accurate calcula
tions, made with regard to thn most belligerent
natrons on earth, the people ol England have
fully determined this point.
Between the sges of 20 snd 31, the following
sre the chances: Army,C5.27-100ihs ; navy,
67.63 j church, 08.81; law, 08.20; medicine,
6586; fine arts, 64 42; learned professions,
67.70; literature, 66.49; trsde snd commerce,
6811. From 41 years and upwards the chan
ces are as follows: Army, f9 07 ; navy, 70 01 ;
clergy, 71 82; medicine, 70.23; law, 7020;
fine arts, OS 21 ; learned pro'esaions, 7124;
literatureOO.lO; trsde and commerce, 71 41.
Thus, it appears, that the mortality ia a great
among physicians as among soldiers, and grea
ter among those devoted to the ftno arts thsn it
is among those whoso profession ixarms. Law
yers are less sure of their lives than seamen,
and the clergy, engagvd in tho most peaceful
of all pursuits, stands in no safer position than
some of the mort hazardous professions. The
svrroge of human life is equally kept up among
all tho professions.

Yesterdsy forenoon we were present at a se
lect ronerrmW, at the residenco of Mr.
Frsnklin, surgeon, Long Millierate. which was
held for the purpose of testing the accuracy of
certain statements msde respecting e strsnger
who has recently arrived in this town." This
gentleman to whom we refer is Rabbi Profes
sor Danncmarck, of Hungary, who claims the
possession of certain extraordinary powers of
memory and eight, aa well as the gift ol divina
tion. There were four persons present at the
convertazione besides the professor, and three
of them understood the Hebrew language, which
is that in which the stranger performs his won
ders. The professor, who appears in his native
costume, seems to be about 45 years of age, and
has a remarkable quick, penetrating eye, to
which circumstance some people attribute some
of the uncommon faculties with which he ie en
dowed. How this msy bo we know not, end
to us st present it is immaterial. We will now
proceed to detail a few of the performances of
the professor st Ihe contertazione. He was
ahown a private letter, which it wae impossible
he could hsve seen before, snd on merely glan
cing at the first page stated thst it contained 34
lines. The lines were carefully counted by
the gentlemen present, end it was found that
the number mentioned by the professor was
precisely the number which the page contained,
Another letter wss shown him, when the same
prncers was gone through, snd with the esme
result. A Hebrew volume, not the professor's,
hut Mr. Franklin's wss then produced. The
honk wss opened by one of the party, and the
number of the page given to the professor. The
book-wss then opened at another place, at an
interval probably of 100 leaves from the pert
first opened. Tho number of the page at the
second opening the professor was not informed
of, nor could he see what it was. One of the
gcntleii.vn present then put his forefinger upon
s point in one of the pages at the first opening,
snd the professor stated that he should name the
word immediately under the finger at the cor.
responding point in one of the pages at tbe se
cond opening. In this he completely succee
ded. ,; ' ,
A Hebrew and English lexicon, belonging to
Mr. Franklin, and which Professor Dannemarck
could not have seen before, wae then handed
him. The book was opened at pages 230 and
231 by otie of the party, in such a wsy that the
professor could not see what wss thoir contents.
Three different points were chosen by the gen
tlemen present, one st the top of 230, one at
the bottom of the same pge, snd one on the
fifth line of page 221, and the professor under
took to say what were the words which be found
at thepo several points. In this he sgsin com
pletely succeeded. He then took the same
book, which was partly opened in such a manner
by one of the gentlemen that there was no pos
sibility of the prolessoi's seeing what was the
number of the page st the opening. Tbe gen
tleman then thrust his finger in at the opening,
and the professor named the two words at the
extremity cf the organ. Thia he repeated.
One of the party put hi finger upon the bind
ing, outside the book, and the professor stated
that he could name two words opposite to the
finger in a portion of the book, which was part
ly opened, but the contents of which, as far aa
those present could judge, it was impossible the
professor could have seen. Tbe point ia the
book referred to was examined, and it was
found that ihe words there were those which bad
been named by the professor. A Hebrew and
Latin Concordance to the Bible wae next intro-
cucea. erne ot me party nxeu upon a page,
with the number of which the professor was
made acquainted, although he could not see the
page itaelfi he then put his finger upon the
oulside of the book, the professor engaging to
name the word immediately opposite to it in
the page at which Ihe volume was opened. . In
this he was entirely successful. A piece of
pspcr was put into a bonk at the place at which
it was opened by one of the party, and which
wss unknown to the professor, and the latter
mentioned some of tho words that were found
under the paper. A penknife was introduced
in a similar manner and with the same results.
A Dutch edition of the Family' Prayer Book,
which we were informed he never could have
seen before, was next brought forward, Tbe
volume was half opened, one of Ihe party thrust
his hand into the opening, the contents of which
cauld not bo seen by the professor, and jet he
named words on both pages opposite to the hand.
A number of experiment of a similar eharac.
ter were gone thiough, but wo have not space
for further, detail. .The, professor says he can
not aeeount for the possession of the faculties,
the nature of which we have endeavored to ex
plain, in any other way then that he haa reoel.
ved them as aa eatraordinsry gift He exacts
great reverence and respect from all around
him, and considers bimseM the living wonder of
the age. '. He has received the spplsose of se

which was presented to him by the late pope.

anxious to witness the refined psgesnt snd the
exciting fight Four grandee cavaliers entered
the lists on spirited Andaluiian horses, and the
Queen at the hour appointed gave the signsl
for the commencement of the fight, by throw
ing from the balcony whego she est the key of
the stall containing the restive bull. The only
weapon of the cavaliers waa a short light spear
with a steel point At the first encounter, one
of the cavaliers was thrown from his horse and
another fell under the animal, both injured and
obliged to retire from the scene. The third
planted three lances in the bull snd finally kil
led him, but his horse became affrighted and
threw his rider, who was compelled to leave
the arena seriously wounded. The hero of the
dsy, D. Antonio Romero, now alone remained,
displaying a dauntless courage and inimitable
skill, and killing four bulls by the dexterity of
hisspesr, His br very excited the feelings of
the spectators to a pitch of the most frantic en
thusiasm, and the danger the cavalier encoun
tered is vividly described by the correspondent
of the Times as follows :
The fourth bull before receiving his deatli
blow msde a rush at Romero, and placing his
horns low under the horse's belly, actually lift,
ed into the air the noble animal and his rider.
The cavalier fell under the horse, into whose
entrailathe bnrns had entered, and both rolled
together on the ground. A shout of terror at
the danger of the cavalier, and of applause at
the brave ctof Ihe bull, rent the sir. It was
for a moment believed that Rom ro was either
killed or dangerously hurt, but tranquility wss
at once restored, when, in a minute or two, both
horse end rider rose from the ground, the rider
seated as firmly in his saddle ss if he had never
been disturbed from it. Another shout hailed
thia new pmof ot excellent horsemanship. But
the cry of admiration waa beyond sll description
when the next moment the spectators beheld
the bull fall dead, in the very act of preparing
for another bound. This a.tack on the horse
had on'y been a desperate effort of expiring
strength, and was made st the very moment
he received the last Is nee of the cavalier.
This was the last display made by the ctl
loros en plaza. ' Romero retired with soma
slight bruises, snd was again and again salu
ted with the waving of handkerchiefs from the)
balconies, and the shouts of the multitude.
The combat was now sustained by regular
and profeasional bull-fighterc Eleven bulls
were killed, snda proportionate number ol hor-
see. the preparations for the whole affair
were made in a most splendid mtnner. Geor
geous draperies flaunted from banner and
battlement The horses were magnificently
caparisoned and nodding plumes waved in all
directions. The royal balcony glittered in crim
son and gold, the rousicisns were in grand cos.
turae, and the eabalierot themselvee superbly
appointed. It was sll done for the amusement
of royal children ! For tbe pleasure of wedded
babies.
Tho tame letter writer, referring to the
French alliance with Spain, says that "presents
are showered by the bushel on the active but
inferior agents of the Montpensier marriage, by
M- Bresson. Musical boxes, watch chains,
shirt buttons sre sent about in great profusion,
Louis Philippe, snd his man-of-all work in Ma
drid, have a curious idea of the Spanish eharac
ter. They look upon Spain as navigatora do on
some unknown snd savage land, whose inhabi
tants it Ss nscesjary to sooth by presents of
glass beads, painted feathers, bits of looking.,
