Poet's Comer_ TUE TWO ANGELA. 1=13370 • , , Two angels, one of Life and one of Death, l'a.sed o'er the village as the morning broke; The dawn was on ir fakes. and beneath The sombre houses headed with plumes of stooLe. Their attitude and aspect were the same, Alike their features and their robes of white; But one was crowned with amaranth, as with dame, And one with asphodel', like flakes of light. I saw them pause on their celestial way; Then said!, with deep fear and doubt oppress'd "Beat not so loud, my bean., lest thou betray The place where thy loved ones are at rest !" And he who bore the crown of asphodel', Descending, at my door began to knock, And my soul sank within me, as in wells The waters sink before en earthquake's shock. I recognised the nameless agony, The terror and the tremor and the pain, That oft before had filled and haunted me, And now returned with threefold strength again. The door I opened to my heavenly guest, And listened, for I thought I heard God's voice; And knowing whatso'er He sent was best, Dared neither to lament nor to rejoice. Then with a smile, that tilled the house with light, "Hy errand is not Death, but Life," He said ; And ere I answered, passing out of sight On His celestial embassy he sped. . 'Twas at thy door, oh, friend I and not at mine, The angel with the amaranthine wreath, Pausing descended, and with voice divine, Whisperec: a word that had a sound like Death. Then fell upon the hones a sudden gloom, A shadow on thwe features fair and thin; And softly.from that hushed and darkened room, Two angels issued, where but one went in. All is of God? If Ifs but wave his hand The mists collect., the ruin falls thick and loud, 'Till, with a smile of light on sea and land, Lul He looks back from the departing cloud. Angels of Life and Death alike are His; Without His leave they pass uo threshold o'er; Who, then, would wish or dare, belieling this, Against His messengers to shut the door. Miscellarlecrus_ A Pen }nature. Frost one of a series of "Rustic" sketches, in the Erie (Pa.) Obssrrer, we glean the fol lowing: The Poet Gray once said, "I have discover ed a thing very little known, which ie, that in one's whole lite ono can never have more than a single mother." I said to a young artist once, in allusion to the kiss that Ilenj. \Ve.t, when a lr y, receiv ed from his mother, for hip picture of "the hairy," •'Sir, your mother ought to kiss you." I have nn mother!" said he, and the CLIO. film that filled his voice resealed the true men. No mother f Badly off is he whose mother cares not for him---still worse off is he, who cares not for his mother. Can a mother forget? Not a morning. noon or night but she looks into the corner of the kitchen where you vead Robinson Crusoe, and thinks of you as yet a boy. Mothers rarely betaime conscious that their children ®rown out of their childhood. They think of them, rid% ise them, write to them as if not full tbur teen years of age. They cannot forget the child. Three times a day she thinks who are absent from the table, and hopes that next year at the farthest, she may have "just her own family there"—and if you arc there. look out for the fat limb of a fried chicken, and that coffee, which nom& but everybody's own mother can make. Did Hannah forget Sam uel? A short sentence full of household his- I tory, and running over with genuine mother love, is tellingly beautiful. "Moreover, his mother made him a little coat. and brought it to him year after year, when she came up with her husband to the yearly sacrifice." A' mother mourning at her first-born's. grave, or closing the dying eyes of child after child, displays a grief whose very sacredness is sublime. But biuerer, heavier than the death-stroke, is the desperation of a eon who rushes over a mother's crushed heart, into vices, which lie would hide even from the abandoned and the vile. Napoleon once Piked a hub. what France needed fur the ethication of her youth, and the 0.1011, profound reply was "MOTUZIS!" Writing for the Press There is no class of people more frequently sneered at than editors. It is the easiest thing in the world to charge them with being mercenary ; to say that such and such an ar ticle was paid for ; that anybody can have anythingpraised or abused in a paper, if he will pay for it; and, says a wiseacre, every now and then, •. If I lied a newspaper here, would'nc I show the people what an independ ent paper is?" Well, my firiend and pitcher, why not establish a paper and "pitch into everything and everybody ?" Nobody can object to your doing so. The papers that aro iq ti.e habit of pitchin g into everything ate the easiest edited in the world. It is only well-practiced and matured editors that pos sess that wisdom and true independence which consists in refusing to "pitch in ;" that manliness which can withstand a public clamor, that can scorn personalities, and that can treat public questions with the dignity and soberness that can alone secure res2ect fur the press. Doubly Punished. —The other day a Dutch man in Cincinnati was severely thrashed by his "vrow," and while smarting under the in fliction he complained to the Mayor, and had his better-half arrested for the outrage, where upon she was fined three dollars and the colts ; but she not having the money, her has hand was called upon to fork over. Upon which be opened his eyes in great surprise, exclaiming, •Vot for I pay she vip•me!" The "statute" was explained to him, and he paid, but announced that hereafter his wife alight wallop him as much as she pleased, but he would never again take steps to uphold the "majesty of the law." Bad Company.—A skunk once challenged a lion to a single combat. The lion promptly dedlined the honor of such a meeting. "Ilow," said the skunk. "are you afraid t" "Very ranch so." quoth the lion, "for yen would on l7 gain fame by having' the honor to fight a lion, while every oho who met sne for &month to oome would know I had been in company with a skunk." .

In one of our southern seahord cities, and on a long street—almost n road—lending there from to the country, "dwells nn aniithecary," a very tall and remark:ll,ly •lender person— so thin, in fact,that ern , up!,o.e he fed exclusively on his own professional mixtures. No tailor dare entaro Li cut a e.,at or any other garment in any s ay appro.ichit.:4 a snug fit to his pet-Aim. for fear of having; the work returned on his hands, and in that case they would be found to fit nobody else. And yet, with this extraordinary paucity of flesh, there was a great supply of humor in our hero; he was extravagantly fond of practical joks, and practiced them freely, when occasion and opportunity offered. Ile had an electric machine secluded from eight, and when any lair pereon .tnuntered into his shop, and ventured to indulge in a nap or lounge, ha was sore to be shocked into activity, and pushed off. He was a gnat advocate of temperance, and yet was ready to furnish gratis a brimming oils of any sort of liquor any customer mig hty fancy, but his liquor was found invariably to produce more nausea than any other sensation. But a contrivance which afforded bins most merriment, was a skeleton of a full grown person in a closet of easy access in his shop. This skeleton was placal erect on a platforpo which ran on smooth wheels ; and when the door was, opened. this platform was pulled forward by an unseen thin wire or stridg which connected is with the bolting of the closet dear. There were also similar wires, fastened to the wall behind the skeleton, and, passing over each shoulder-bone, were attach ed to the bones of the wrist. Consequently when the closet door was opened, the platform on which the skeleton stood not only ad vanced, but both arms and hands were lifted upward! If any intoxicated, noisy, boisterous, or has patient follow came into his shop, the apothe cary could manage, in some way.to lead him to open that door ; and it rarely failed (as he used to say) "to take the liquor and spunk out of him.' Ire had two or three appren tice lads in his employ, who naturally relish ed these jokes, and practiced them, with his full consent, when he might be absent. , One day during his temporary absence a sailor came drifting along&—oecasionally stop ping and dancing a jig and singing. to the great merriment of a gang of boys who fol lowed and surrounded him. 110 was just drunk enough to play the fool, but not too drunk to navigate. He eventually brought up at the door of our apotheeary,and bracing himself in the dour way, yelled out: "Hollow. my. hearties! hero you are with your stuffed alligators and gallipot, and mix ins for sick folks ! Why the devil don't you keep grog for tough folk' like me?" and here he shuffled off a rig-a-duos, aad made himself very merry. "Well, Jack," said One of the lads,""whott kind of grog do yon want ?" "I'll take brandy," was the pmmlit reply. 'Tery well, go and help yourself; ' (hand ing hint - 1t tin nnig,) "you will find it in that closet." Jack went as directs 1, and pulling; open the closet door, found himself within' graqp ing distance of an advemeing skt2leton; he in contineatly fell back a step, dropped his tin cup. turned ash color, made one spring to the door, and when he reached the street. took the middle of it, and ran like a deer till he reached a supposed safe distance. Shortly after this, our apothecary returned, and being informed of the event was greet ly amused. but sadly lamented his absence. "I would not have missed seeing it," said he, "for a great deal. Idd wonder if he will come hack this way I" But this was not probable, and lot this was his only way bask to town. In the course of a few hours, however, sure enough, Jack was heard at a distance an his way back, singing and dancing. Our apoth ecary hopefully anticipating an "encore" wont out on his door-steps, and eletatiug his thin perms, and extending his long emaciated aria and hand, very kindly beckoned to Jack to repeat his visit. . Jack no sooner saw him than ho "put his helm hard a port," and steered over to the other side of the street, buttoning his jacket over his breast and press ing his tar-paulin closer on his bead, so as to be ready for a run if chase was given. "Ay-yey, old bag of bones," says Jack. "there you are again, are you ? You think I don't know you. now you've gut your clothes on ;" and sway he went on his course, leav ing our apothecary iatherpuzzled ;n deciding which of the two gut the sharpest end of that juke. No Time to Hesitate. A clerprnan of one of our Eastern States, who, during his life-time was as much distin guished fur his eccentricity as for his talents and for the sincerity and fervor of his piety, dined one Thanksgiving day, with the senior deacon of the church. The deacon being an old fashioned man, was in the habit of asking blessings of a tiresome length. On this oc casion he was particularly prolix. and finally was forced to pause to gain a new supply of breath and words. The in,tant he dropped the words the pastor sat down and commenc ed rattling his knife and fork. The worthy deacon, very much disconcerted by the con duct of his reveeend guest, opened one eye, and looking down to him, exclaimed: "D3ctor! doctor ! I'm not through yet; I only hesitated." `•Hlesitated ?" replied the doctor, "It's no time to hesitate when a turkey's cooling."

WASPISH A. SALISBURY." Gerry, April 26, 1859. Stir Lyman Beecher is said to have asked his wife to have him, on first interview, and when she was bending over the wash-tub. Sbe was taken much aback, and said it re quired time for refection and prayer. "Let us pray," said Beecher, and immediately knee - ling down at the wash-tub, the Divine blessing was implored. The courting was done afterwards and the marriage took place.

In its vel wickedness there is a spice of humor. The Weaversvllle Journal is responsible for the following, account of the way babies got mixed at a hall, attended by a number of ladies encumbered with that class of responsibil ities : "Some time ngo there wash dancing party given 'up north ;' most. of the ladies present had little babies, whose noisy perversity re quired too much attention to permit the moth ers to enj,y the dance. A number of gallant young men volunteered to watch the young ones while the parents indulged in a 'break down.' No sooner had the women left the babies in eharge of the mischievous devils, than they stripped the infants, changed their clothes, giving to one the apparel of another. The dance over, it was time to go home, and the mothers hurriedly took ouch a baby, in the dress of her owe, and started, some to their homes ton or fifteen voiles off, and were far on the way before daylight. But the day following there was n prodigious row in that settlement ; mothers discovered that a single day had changed the sex of their babies—ob servation disclosed a startling physiological phenomena, and then ootumend some of the tallest female pedestrianism—lividg miles apart, it required two days to immix the ba bies, and as many months to restore the wo men to their naturally sweet dispositions. To this day, it is unsafe for any of the baby mix ers to venture within the territory." A Yankee Bugle-Player in England. Some ten or twelve years since, an Ameri can bugle-playmeoncluded to make a trip to Eagland, to learn, by personal observation, the state of instrumental music in that coun try. A day or two after his arrival in Lo dun, (in which place he was almost a total stranger,) he saw an advertisement in the Times fur a bugle-player in one of the regi ments of the Guards. Our American pre seated himself the next morning to the band master of the regiment, and introduced him self by saying that he bad seen an advertise ment for a bugle-player, and he had come to offer himself as a candidate for that situation. The band-master, nut thinking that the stranger presented a very premising appear- RUC°, treated him rather cavalierly, but final. ly told him that there would be a rehearsal the next morning, and he might come and show what he could do, intimating nt the came time that his qualifications must be very high to obtain the place. Nothing daunted, our American made his appearance with his E. flat bugle in his haul and Wok his place in the band. The rehearsal commenced with a new piece containing a solo for the clarionet, which the performer upon that instrument found great difficulty in executing. After several failures, the Yankee bugle player requested permission of the hand-mas ter to play the solo npon the bugle. The hand-master laughed at hint, and ridi culed the idea of his Leine, able to perform it upon that instrument. 'Howe; er, the Amori eau being very sanguine, consent to th e trial vraa finally (At:tined, and the band having perforated the pridule„ the solo its commen ced; but scarcely had our hero sounded half a dozen notes when everybody else ceased playing and listened with wonder and ad miration to magic notes.

So much misapprehension prevails in refer enle to the views of the Administration on this question, that o c embrace the opportuni ty furnished by a praetieal emie, which has recently arisen in the kingdom of Hanover, to refer to it again. The ease is that of a naturalized citizen of the United States who is a native of Hanover, and who, when he left his native country, was neither in actual service in the Hanover ian army nor had been drafted to s cree in it, but who has yet, upon his return to Hanover, been deprived of hits liberty and compelled to du military duty. The intervention ofour Government having thus become necessary, the %thole subject of the rights of our naturalized citizens hos re ceived the renewed and careful iensideration of the President, and his views, as well us those of his entire cabinet, anon this impor tant subject, will be found in the following extract which we are permitted to make from a despatch transmitted a Ifew days ago from the Department of St ito to our minis ter at Berlin, in relation to the case referred to. I , It is impossible to add anything to the strength and clearness of this' statement ; and we are persuaded that it will meet the full concurrence of erery reflecting man in the country. Extract ofa despatch from the Department of Stale to the Minister of the ' United Slates al Bea lin, eisi:oft July 8, 1&74 1 . The right of expatriation cnot at this day be doubted or denied in the uited States.— if The idea has been repudiate ever since the origin of our Government, that a man is bound to remain forever in the country of his birth, and that lie has no right to exercise his free will and consult his own happiness by selecting a new home. The most eminent writers on public law recoznize the right of expatriation. This can only be contested by those who , in the nineteenth century aro still devoted to the ancient feudal law with all its oppression. The doctrine of perpetual alle giance is a relic of barbarism which has been 'gradually disappearing from Christendom during the last century. The Constitution of :he United States recog nises the natural right of expatriation, by conferring upon Congress the power "to es tablish a uniform rule of naturalization."— Indeed, it was one of the grievances elle7ed against the British King iii the Declaration of Independence. that he bad "endeavored to prevent the population of these States—for that purpose obstructing tho laws of naturali zation of foreigners, refusing to past , others to encourage their migration hither." &c.,&e. The Constitution thus rtcognizes the princi ple of expatriation in the strongest manner. It would have been inconsistent in itself and unworthy t f the character of the authors of that instrument, to hold nut inducements to foreigners to abandon their native land, to renounce their allegiance to thoir native ev ernment and to become citizens of the tinned Stater, if they had not been convinced of the absolute end unconditional right of expatria tion. Congress hero unictrnily acted upon this principle ever since the eqatineneement of the Federal Government. They establish ed ••a uni term rule of naturalization" nearly seventy years ago. - There has since been no period in our history When laws for this pur pose did not exist, thought their -provisians have undergone suceesaiv? changes. The alien, in order to Leconte a citizen, must do ttier° on oath or affirmation7that In; will sup port the Constitution of the Uuilleel States ; and, at the same time, he isirequired.to abso lutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to every foreign prince, potentate. State or sovereignty whatever, and particularly, by mime, the prince, potenta;e, State or sovereignty whereof ho was before a citizen. • The exercise of the right of naturalization, and the consequent recognition of the princi ple of expatriation, are not confined to the tlovernmeet of the United States. There is not a country in Eurtrpe, I belie.ve. at the present moment, where the law dues cot au thorize the naturalization of foreigners in one form or other. Indeed, in sonic of these countries this law is inure liberal than our own towards fbreigners. The question then. arises, what rights do our laws confer upnn a foreigner by granting him naturalization ? I answer, nil the rights, privileges and immunities which belong to a native-burn citizen, in their full extent, with the single qualification that, under the Constitution, " no person except a natural born citizen is eligible to the office of Presi dent." With this exception, the naturalized citizen from and after the date of hip natur alization, both at home and abroad, is placed upon the very same foiling with the 'aive citizen. lie is neither in a better nor a worse condition. If a native citizen chooses to take up his residence in a foreign country, for the purpose of advancing his fortune or promot ing his happiness, lie is whilst there bound to übey its municipal laws equally with those who have lived in it all their lie i. Ile goes abroad with his e)es open ; and if these laws be arbitrary and unjust, he has chosen to abide by the consequences. If they are ad ministered in an equal spirit towards himself and towards native subjects, this guvernweut have no right to interfere authoritatisely in his behalf. To do this would be to violate the right of an independent nation to legislate within its own Territories. If this gu%ern ment were to undertake such a task, we might soon be involved in trouble with near ly the whole world. To protect our citizens against the application of this principle of universal law, in its fuli extent, we have treaties with several natior.s securing exemp tion to American, citizens when residing abroad from some of tile onerous duties re quired from their own subjects. Where no such treaty exists and an American citizen has committed a crime or incurred a penalty for violating any municipal law whatever of the country of his temporary residence. he is just as liable to be tried and punished for his offence as though he had resided iu it front the day of his birth. If this has not been dune before his departore and he should vol untarily return under the sante jurisdiction, he may be tried and punished fur tire offence upon principles of universal law. Under nett circumstances, no person would think of contending that an intermediate resi dence in his own country for years would de prive the government whose laws he had vio/a ted of the power to enforce this execution.— The very same. principle, and no other, is ap plicable to the case of a naturalized citizen, should he choose to return to hiu native country. In that case, if he had committed an offence against the law before his depart ure, he is responsible fur it in tite same man ner as the native-American citizen to whom I have referred. In the language of the late Mr. Marcy, irrhis letter of the lOttrJanuary, 1854, to Mr. Jackson, then our charge d'af fiiires to I'ienua, when speaking of 'fousig's case, " every nation, whenever its laws are violated by any one owingobedianee to them. whether hp be a citizen er a stranger. halt a right to inflict the penalties Incurred bz the trismi,#eseor, if found wit hin-itelarriadiettop." 4 This.priatiple wellestablitisel to admit or serious controversy. If one d=our tin re or nitArili zed tallow,. were edteeFb o lr; to punishment by the commission ocan against any of our laws, State or Nations and afterwards become altaturatised subject of a foreign , country, aft Lave the hardihood. to contend, "stipti-:itiluntarily re turningf'*Uitt, tor jurisdatimi, that big nuturatisation relieved him Vora the genial. meta due to his eritn - e ; molt killehelti he appeal to the government- of his isdopte.l country to protect him ill;airtat his red r sonsi. bility to the United States, or any of the States This Guterumeut would not fur a I.I2OEIRONS listen to such an appeal. t Whilst these principles canna be conks ! ted, great care should be taken ip their sr plicatiun, especially to our naturalize I cit izens. The moment a foreigner beeemers naturalized, his allegiance to hisnstivsevassw try i 9 severed forever. He experiences it new political birth. A broad and impassable lit • separates him from hilonative country. Ile is no more responsible for anything he mite Airy or do. or omit to say or do, after sinl ming his new character, than it ho had been born in the United States. Sould he return to his native country, he returns its an Amer ican citizen, and in no other hameter. Itt order to entitle his original government to punish him fur an offoce, this must have beett committed whilst ho was a subject and owed allegiance to that govetninent. The (,ffelloo must have been complete befora his expatria tion. It must hero been of such a character th.tt he might have Leen tried aud pound:l44 fur it at the moment of his departure. A fu ture liability to hi:nu in the runty will not be sufficient ; because, before the unto can at. rive for such service, he has changed his alle giance, and lots become a citizen of the ' United States. It would be quite nb , urd contend that a boy, brought to this country front a foreign country with his father's faufi ly when but twelve years of ago and flati ron:4(A here, who should afterwards visit tko country of his birth when he had Le o:ae man, might then be seized and compelled to perform military service, because, it he had remained there throughout the intervening years and his life had been spared, 11e would have been bound to perform military service. To submit to such a principle would be to make an odious distinction between our naturalized and natito cit.. • Fur this reason, in my dispatch to '' 2, 1850, and again in my letter to ' , f toe 14th ultimo, I run fine the . in regard to our mituralizeil 4 t) -.melt of them as " were in the iirtily or actually called into it" at the time the lea Prussia.

It would be better, far knitter, fur them, considering the comparatively small •number of their native subjects who return to their dominions after being naturalized lit this couutry, not to attempt to exact military service from them. They wilt prove ti be most reluctant soldiers. If they violate any law of their native country during their visit, they are, of course, amenable like other American citizens. It would be a sad leis fortune if, fur the sake of an advantage se trifling to such governments, they AilOtlift in volve themselves in serious difficulties with a c,,untry so desirous as we are of ruaiutalaln; with them the most friendly relations. , It is fortunate that serious difficulties of this Itjud arc mainly contined to the Gorman States— and especially that the law,' of Gre.it Britain do nut authorize any compulsory military ear t ice whatever. • A Paris journal publishes a curious account of a contrivance invented by a M. Mouse, der the decomposition of water, and consbustiou of hydrogen thus obtained. The apparivtus consists of a small copper boiler, provided with a safety-valve, nod a pipe which passes into a tubulated bottle, with two necks, plicet nearlhe boiler. Front the second tuburlataso another tube passes under the boiler. About two litres—nearly. half-a-gllluu—are pJured into the latter, of weak tar water into the tabulated bottle. A spirit lamp be ing applied to the boiler where it yields' its oxygen to the tar by which oxyde of calms is generated. The hydrogen of the steam thus set at liberty, accumulates its the bottle and then passes through the .second tube to the bottom of the boiler, where it meets the flame of the spirit lamp. A most extraordinary effect, approaching as near at possible to the visionary prine.pleuf per Le al motion, is the result ; for, the spirit- wp being taken away, the hydr Igen gene tal burns with its owa fla:a.-, ' makes the wa ter boil; this engentle-s r- 4., .roa.u, which is decomposed as Iselorc, . •..- .-s kaew supply of hydrogen, N ,,, 1 it ice ftioae, and eu en, not cut un:ii the wa ter in the boiler is exhausted All:that has been done in order to have a per t etuni thane, is to keep up the supply of water, sad Abu, when necessary to renew the-, tar water.— This discovery, applied to steam engines and locomotives, a task which the inVentbr liar already performed, is capable of predating an immense saving of fuel.
