The land of dreams is brighter
Than this dark land of ours,
Its cloudless skies are lighter,
And fairer are its flowers,
And hearts that earth woald serer,
In union close and sweet,
Yore fond and true than ever,
May there together meet.
The forms we moat hare cherished:
That in the cold grave sleep,
The beings that have perished
Rise from their slumber deep,
And joyfully they meet us,
With a pleasure beaming eye,
And the yokel with which they greet us,
' la the voice of days gone by.
The beggar with his wallet,
lies a mint at his command,
And the slave upon his pallet,
Holds a sceptre in his hand.
In sleep the old mac loves to dwell,
He seems a boy to be ;
The prisoner laugheth in his cell,
For he dreams that he is free.
From realms of cold reality,
How starts the unfettered mind,
ganging as lawless through the sky
As blows the mountain wind;
Its home of clay forsaking,
It tourneys wide cud far,
Its boundless voyage taking
From distant star to star.,

The Tomb of RacheL
The Uon. James Brooks, senior edi
tor of the N. Y. E.rprea, writes to that
journal fruity the !icily Land, as fol
lows :
Upon my return to Bethlehem I rode
by the tomb of Rachel—a small build
ing with a whitened dome, and paving
within it a high oblong monument,
built of brick, and stuccoed over. The
spot is wild and solitary—and not a
tree spreads its shade where rests the
beautiful mother of Israel. Christian,
Jew and Moslem all agree that this is
just the spot where Raet!el was buried,
and all unite in honoring it. The
Turks are anxious that their ashes may
rest-near her's, anti hence their bodies
have been strewn under tombs all
around the simple ipinb of Rachel. Tho
sweet domesue virtues of the wife have
won their love and admiration, as the
tomb of Absalom, near the brook of
Kedron, their detestation; upon the
latter they throw *stone, to mark their
horror of the drsobediont son, while
around the former, they wish, when
they die, their bodies may be interred.
Nor is this wonderful. The wife, worth
fourteen years of service as a shepherd,
mast have heed a wife worth having.
The whole life of Rachel is, indeed, one
of the most touching in Biblical history.
Tho sweet shepherdess has left her
mark upon the Memory of man, as well
as her tomb. The tribute to her is the
tribute to a good wife, and Infidel, Jew
and Christian all combine to pay it.—
The groat women of the earth—the
Zenobias \and the Cleopatrus--have
died, been buried, and their very place
of buriaLboon forgotten, but to this day
stands over the grave of Rachel, not
the pillar Jacob set up, bat a modern
monument in its place, around which
pilgrims from every land under the
sun gather, in respect and reverence
for the faithful wife and good mother
in' Israel.
sir An English scientific paper says,
that instead of riveting sheets of itun
together, (the plan now in general use
to make boilers,) a new process
,bite
been succeasfully applied by unitini s
the sheets and slabs of iron together in
one complete mass by welding. A
boiler on this principle has been made
in Woolwich dockyard without& single
seem or rivet, and is of cylindrical
shape, 4 feet in diameter, 8 feet long,
with an internal tube 2 feet 2 inches in
die - Meter, and bell mouthed at the front,
increasing to a D form, 3 feet 6 inches
at the fire box, from which small tubes
of 1} inches diameter proceed to the
end of the boiler. The whole has been
severely tested and proved to 180 lbs.
on the square inch. The form of the
boiler was selected as a test of the pos
sibility of accomplishing the process,
which appears to be now no longer dis
putable, and which it is stated is Nattily
applicable in the construction of heavy
ordnance. Deck beams for the steam
rams now in course of construction fur
the British Navy, were being made by
this process.
Sir Some dispute having arisen be
tween the Ilindoos and Christians in
itmednugger, India, in regard to the
drawing of water from the public tanks,
tho former looking upon the latter as
outcasts, the magistrates decided that
the Christians could enjoy all the rights
they bad before conversion. The Ifin
dope, not satisfied with this, applied to
the GoveTnor in Council, who not only
confirmed the decision of the magistrates,
but, went one step further, and remind
ed the Hindoos that, according to their
own Shasters, "the caste of the Ruler is
e9nal to the higheA I" Thus all Chris.
tuns being of "the cute of the Ruler,"
or of the British Queen, are made the
highest at once. This, if carried out,
will relieve the Christian missionaries
in India of a great deal of annoyance.

Bums' in Life
Benjamin Franklin attributed his
success as a public man, not to his
talents or his powers of speaking—for
these were bet moderate—but to' his
known integrity of character. " Hence
it was," bo says, " that I had so much
weight with my fellow-citizens. I Was
but a bad speaker, never eloquent, sub
ject to much hesitation in my choicie of
words, hardly correct in language, *nd
yet I generally carried my point.?',--

It was said of the first Emperor A ex

'luring the wars of the Fronde, on
taiga° was the only man amongst the
French gentry who kept his castle gates
unbarred ; and it was said of him, that
his personal character was worth More
to him than a regiment of horse. That
character is power, is Arne in a much
higher sense than knowledge is power.
Mind without heart, intelligence with
out conduct, cleverness without good
ness, are powers in their way, but ttaey
may be powers only for mischief. Wo
niay be instructed or amused by them ;
but it is sometimes as difficult to admire
them as it would be to admire the dex
terity of a pickpocket or the horseman

him in derision "Where is now yOur

the upright man shines forth with tkie

Economical Xarriages.
A correspondent of the Boston Courier
recommends the " formation of a Socie
ty for the promotion of Economical
Marriages." He thus describes a "case"
of the kind of social suffering tie would
alleviate :—" There is a lady of my ac
quaintance who has lately given her
daughter in wedlock to a young man of
estimable character, though of limited
means—a phrase the cheap novelist's are
habitually using; as if the fact that a
roor man could bear a good. character
was so rare as to demand a paragraph
by itself. For several days before the
wedding, I saw in the house of my friend
extensive preparations on foot. An
immense pile of cards wore sent out ; I
the chambers were filled with seamstres
ses; cabinet councils were held twice a ,
day below stairs by the parents and
daughter, to settle the question coneern
ing music,refresliments, seran ts, crock
ery-ware, silver, and many other things.
Each morning the young lady and fu
ture husband were running about town
to finish up the thousand details of the
occasion ; and each night, the whole
family, fatigued by the day's labor, re.
tired to unrefreeh:ng slumber. At last
the evening of, the performance came.
It was preceded by hours of the most
tiresome supervisicrn,.proparation, anx
iety on every account, and when the
maiden wont to her toilet, she was more
fit for the attendance of`the family
physician than of her bridesmaids.—
Nevertheless there was no retreat; so,
trusting to the excitement of the hours
for physical force, she took the arm of
the man with whom she was to go
through life, himself almost as nearly
worn out as she, and after having un
dergone the ceremony of promising to
love, honor, and obey, stood for three
hours to receive the congratulations of
the guests, the majority of whom felt
the same interest in 019 scene as they
might have at the theatre or ballet. Tho
crowd finally dispersed, the last car
riage drove away, and after a few hours
of quiet, the happy pair took an early
train of cars, and jolted about the coun
try for ton days or thereabouts, on a
pleasure trip !"
The writer nirther enlarges on the
difficuty of meeting the expenses of an
ordinary wedding in 'these days, and
then goes on to moralise thus instruc
tively :—" The wonder is rather that
so few young men are crashed at the
commencement of their married life,
than that so many forever cramp them
helves by extravagance. Ilow many
wedded pairs are there in this small city
who dare to bo independent and com
fortable, instead of sacrificing their con•
tent to the outrageous claims of what
is called public opinion ? how muny
would not be ashamed to own that, be
ing unable to purchase meat seven days
in the week, they went to market only
every other day ? flow many would
not feel their cheeks .burning with an
unmanly blush, should they venture to
discuss with the wife at the breakfast
table the comparative expense of fish,
flesh or fowl, with reference to the
day's dinner? And how many of the
young wives of this metropolis are
there, into whose hearts would not
steal that horrible doubt as to whether
they had done well in marrying so
economical a man, were such a discus
sion to arise ? And what is the result
of all this cowardly shrinking from an
absurd phantom ? Why, men become
engaged in marriage, abd then drag on
year after year, in the hope of being
'bettor able to support a wife,' till the
beauty of the girl fades, the soul of the
man withers, love dies out from the
breast of the one or the other, and, in
stead of two married lovers, the world
rewires a flirt or a disappointed woman,
a deceiver or cynic. Or, if the man
avoids this Scylla, he rushes to his de
struction in a worse Charybdis."
Mrs. Partington yain.-IVbcro did

lirs..Partington as he shook a handful
of copper coin before her, grinning all
the time like a rogue as Im is. " have

a little anxious.
"I got it from beta," said ho, chock
ing the coin in the air and allowing
half of it to clatter on the floor.
"Got it from 'Beta,' did you ?" ro
plied the lady. " And who is 'Bots,'
that sho would give you money 1 She

would not speak of her so disrespectful
ly. I hope you will not bo led away
by any desolate companions, Isaac, and
become an unworthy membrane of so
ciety."
Double Meaning.—A perdbn who was
recently called into court for the pur-
pose of proving the correctness of a
doctor's bill was asked by the lawyer
whether" the doctor did not make seve
ral visits after the patient' was out of
clanger ?" 4 , No," replied the witness,
" I considered the patient in danger as
long as the doctor continued his visite."

The Power of Courage.
To give any form of courage an avail
able or working value, it is essential
that it has two qualities, promptness
and persistency. What Napoleon called
" two-o'clock-in-the-morning courage"
is rare. It requires great enthusiasm
or great discipline to be proof against
a surprise. It is said that Suwarrow,
even in peace always slept fully armed,
boots and all. "When I telazy," he
said, " and wanted to entolt arcomtorta
ble.sleep, I usually toolroffeme spur."
In regard to persistency, history is fall
of instances of unexpected reverses and
eleventh hour triumphs. The battle of
Marengo was considerably hopeless for
the first half of the day, and a retreat
was generally expected, on the part of
the French; when Bosnia, consulti g ai
Bonaparte, looked at his watch
said—" the battle is completely lost,
but it is only two o'clock, and we-shall
have time to gain another." He then
made his famous and fatal cavalry
charge, and won the field. It, was from
a noble appreciation of this quality of
persistency, that, when the battle of
Canso was lost, and Hannibal was mea
suring by bushels the rings of fallen Ro
man knights, the Senate of Rome voted
thauks to the defeated general, Consul
Trento. Marro, for not having despaired
of the republic.
Thus armed at all points, incapable of
being surprised or exhausted, mirage
achieves results which seem miraculous.
It is an element of inspiration, some
thing superadded and incalculab le,wben
all the forces are exhausted. when we
consider bow really formidable becomes
the humblest of quadrupeds, cat or rat,
when it.grows mad and desperate and
throws all personal fear behind, it is
clear that. there must be a reserved
power in human daring which defies
computation and equalizes the most
fearful odds. Take one man, mad with
excitement or intoxication, place him
with his back to the wall, iv:knife in his
hand, and. the fire of utter frenzy in his
eyes, and who, among the thousand
bystanders, dares make the attempt to
disarm him? Deeper ate courage makes
one a majority. Baron Trenck nearly
escaped from the fortress of Glatt, at
noon day,by snatching a sword from an
officer, passicg all the sentinels with a
sudden rush, aqd almost effecting his
retreat to the mountains : " which inci
dent will prove," ho says, that adven
turous and oven rash daring will render
the most improbable undertakings suc
cessful, and that desperate attempts
may often make a general more fortu
nate and famous than the wisest and
best concerted plans."—Arl'e. Monthly.
San Arbudix's .Marriage. —Old Sam
Arbuckle was tho nigger bailer to my
bother, the arasiber of Congress from
Virginny. Lie had permission to spouse
Milken Sally, a slave on another planta
tion. A night was fixed for the cere
mony, the company assembled, and the
colored preacher was there to tie the
nuptial knot. Well, they waited and
waited fur over so long, but the bride
didn't make her appearance. At last
Sam grew impatient; so says he to the
preacher, "Look here, Brudder Culli
fur, it's no use waiting fur that darkey:
I knows her like a book--sho's dropped
to sloop settin"fore do fire. I'se an
thorized to speak for her, so jnst go
ahead jest the same as if sba was bore."
Old Oulliter thought this was a wise
suggestion, and proceeded with the set.-
vivo that united thorn in the holy bonds
of matrimony. When the ceremony
was over, off started the bridebmom in
search of the absent bride, and, sure
enough, when he reached her cabin
there ho found her fast asleep by the
fire, with some of her finery in her
hand ; and she was terribly riled when
she heared the wedding had come off
and she was not there.—Sant Stack. •
A Sad Sequel.—A letter from Charles
town, Vu., to the ltichmond Dispatch,
tells the following sad tale:
"Mrs. Allibone, the oldest sister of
George W. Turner, who was slain by
John Brown and his associates, was
buried hero to-day by the side of her
brother. She died at Mt. Hope Lunatic
Asylum, whither she was taken shortly
after her brother's death. She never
rallied after his mn.-der, but continued
to sink until her broken spirit burst its
earthly bonds and returned to its Mak

" The Trance of Love."
Romantic incident in the Life of a
Young Girt.—Some time last August a
promising' young lawyer of this city,
while on a professional visit to Spring.
field, Illinois, met the daughter of one
of the most. prominent citizens of that
place at the house of a mutual friend,
and being charmed with - her fine per
sonal appearance and varied accom
plishments, made her an offer of his
heart and band, and was promptly ac
cepted. At length the lover awoke to
the fact that he had some business en
gagements to meet in this city the lat
ter part of last week, and was therefore
compelled to bid ter a reluctant fare
well.
Thebecond day after his departure
the girl, to the great surprise of her pa
rents, suddenly disappeared, and all ef
forts to ascertain whither she had gone
were unavailing. After spending a day
without learning anything of her where
abouts, they telegraphed the fact to her
lover, who immediately returned to as
sist in unraveling yhe mystery. To his
great 4oy he found her odbe more among
her friends, and learned the particulars
of her mysterious disappearance and
recovery, which are substantially as
follows :
After their separation, a few days
before, she felt an unaccountable incli
nation to follow her lover; but. know
ing how imprudent such an act grauld
be, she battled against it with all her
will till the next day, whoa some irre
sistible power Impelled her to tide
coarse. Hastily collecting a few arti
cles of clothing, she made her way un
observed to the railway depot, and took
the cars for Lafayette, Indiana, where
she knew her betrothed would remain
two or three days on his way home.—
From this time till her arrival in Lafay
ette, she seems to have been in a state
of partial unconsciousness, and has no
distinct recollection of anything that
trilbspired. After walking about. the
streets oc that town for some hours,
the proprietor of the Bramble House,
who had more than once observed her
haggard appearance and singular man
ner, kindly took her in, and after par
taking of some refreshments and a few
hours' sleep, ebo returned to conscious
ness, and was at first not a little sur
prised to find herself among strangers
so far from home. Suddenly she re
membered what she had done, anti in
forming Mr. Dale, her protector, of the
facts of the case, he placed her on the
first train for Springfield, and notified
her friends by telegraph that, she was
on hiii`way home. Their joy oo meet
ing her again was indescribable.—Cfn

The Use of Tomatoes.—Among other
things that have assumed to me the
form of facts, one is that as feed for
stock, and especially fur milk cows,
there is DO vegetable
,superior to the
tomato. The evidence of this was
manifested during the put tall. Hav
ing ininy garden a surplus of these, I
resolved to try their efficiency as feed,
and accordingly gave them to my cow,
(the only , kind of aniirial 1 bad to feed
them to,) and found that they not only
caused her to give a good supply, but a
rich quality of milk. They were fed
in alt their various conditions, from the
green to the ripe state, and many of
them after having been frozen. The
results did not seem tobbe changed by
the condition in which they were fed.
