It cannot die, it mint not stay, But loaves its darkened dust behind, Then unembodied dot h it trace • By steps each planet's heavenly way, Or till at once Os), realms of space, A thing of eyes that all survey ? Eternal, boundless, untlecayed, •A thought unseen, but seeing all, All, in earth or skies displayed, Shall it survey, shall it recall. Each fainter trace that niemory holds So darkly of departed years, In one broad glance the soul befiolds, And all that was at once appears. Before creation peopled earth, Its eye shall roll thromth chaos back, And where the fairest heaven had birth, The spirit trace its rising track. And where the future mars or makes Its glance o'er all dilate, to he, While sun is quenched or system breaks, Fixed in its own eternity. Above, or Love, or Hate. or Fear, It lives all passionless - and pine, An ago shall nee like earthly year, Its years like moments shall endurei -.- Away, away, without a wing, O'er all, through all, its thought shall fly, A nameless, an eternal thing, Forgetting what it was to die,.

Nord Dud. --A Paris paper relates as a fact, that two students in Berlin, having quarrelled, agreed to kiss the lips of a per son mortally atlicted with the Cholera, and - ; that the dispute should terminate with the death of either. Each or them kissed the lips of a man in the last stage of the disease, but neither dying within 24 hours after wards, their "mutual friends" declared that they should be receciled. In five years there has been but one house of value consumed by fire in Charleston, which of itself forms nearly eleven-thir teenths of the whole amount of the value of buildings destroyed in that time, _So that„ setting aside the single fire, we should have the remarkable tact of a city composed of 35,000 inhabitants, including the suburbs, having sustained damage from conflagration in five years of only about $2,000.

Much as they have been wronged by the State of Mjssissippj, they still retain an ardent wish for her happiness and prosperry: They humbly pray that those of another age and gdneration may not feel the ef fects of the oppressive measures which have been so illiberally dealt out to them, and .that peace and happiness 'Way -be their re , ward. Amid the gloom and horror of the present separation, they fondly cherish a TiirpcTiliat faywill ere Tong tined home, (which nothing short of the vi lest treachery can wrest from them,)_aid that they may live free. It ha. been said that their removal was their - own voluniarY act—but such is not the case. Painfhl in the extreme is the man ,date of their expulsion. .They regret ex ceedingly that it tould proceed from the mouth of 'their professed friend, for whom their blood was co-mingled with his bravest warriors,. on the hell of danger and death. Nor do they conceal from us their fears that the present grounds may be removed—for ' who can-tell after witnessinn• t , what has alrea dy-been done, what the next force may be. Their situation may truly be compared with the beasts of the field—shifted, for conveni ence, from one pasture to another.
