They are wonhy a place in that sierling Mag azine, and we know readers will appreciate them. No rood of land in all Ihe earth, No ships upon Ihe sea, N'T treasures rare, nor gems, nor goM, Do any keep for me ; As jeIerday I wrought for bread, S . mil ,1 1 toil to-day ; Yet some are not to rich as I, or 1 so poor as they. On yonder Iree the sunlight falls, l'ue rub. us on the bough, S;i!i I can hear a merrier note TImu he is warbling now : lie's but an Arab of the sky, AuJ never lingers lung; But thai o'erpjiiM the live long year With music and with song. Come, gather 'round me, little ones, And as I sit me down. With shouts of laughter, on me place A mimic regal crown ; Sar, ehildlai King, would I accept Your armies and domain, Or e'en your crown, and never feel These tiny hands again ? There's more of humor in their tuuch, And blessing unlo me. Than kingdom unto kingdom joined, Or navies on the sea: So greater gifts to me are brought Than Sheba's Queen did bring Was born to be a King. Look at my crown, and then at yours, Look in my hand, and ihiDe; llow do our jewels now compare The turthli and dirint? Hold up your diamonds to the light. Emerald and amethyst ; They're nothing to those love-lit eyes, These lips so ottea kissed ! Oh ! noblest Roman of them all, That mother good and wise, M'ho pointed, to her little ones, The jewels of her eyes ; Four sparkle on my own to-day. Two deck a sinless brow : llow grow my riches at Ihe thought, Of those in glory now ! And )et no rood of all the earth, No ships upon the sea, Nor treasures rare, ncr gold, nor gems Are safely kept for me. Yet I am rich, myself a King, And here in my domain, Which only liod shall take away, To give me back again.

In tbe evening it was presented by tbe woongyeo, or great min ister of stale, to bis majesty, who was very much pitased with it. " Being the Crst communication of the kind ever received from tbe American gov ernment, and from a functionary of corres ponding rank with the sovereign of any of tbo great Kuropcan nations, Ilia Maj esty was apparently anxious to mark tbe event as one of unusual interest to his government. Tbo contents of the-letter were plain, dimple, and straightforward, alluding to the receipt of a Burmese com munication from the King, and expressing a hope that there might be no diminution in the sovereignty or dominions of Ilia Maj- tions between America and Burmah might be perpetual. It gave great satisfaction to the whole court.

Thauks bo to our Heavenly I'aiuer, the popular voice can not here be bushed in tho silence of despotism, but the popular will dictates the Jaw. Mar it thus ever remain ! llow important it is, therefore, that tbe masses of the people be educated, so each may be able to read and understand for himself, the Constitu tion and history of his conntry, and to judge and decide for himself what are the true Principles and policy of his govern ment. But much more important is it, in my opioion, that every person in the State be enabled to read for himself in tbe Holy Bible, and to comprehend the cteat prin ciple of Christianitv. in tbe eternal truths liover. Educate the masses, and inculcate virtue and morality, and you lay broad and deep, in tbe hearts of our people, the true basis of our future progress." your friend and whilom fellow townsman Would be acceptable to your readers. Liko many other Penusylvaniaos, he has fol lowed tbo tide of emigration and become a citizen of tbo "illimitable, cbangtug west," as a writer has aptly called this wide prairie land. It is true, that this is a changing country ; but as I did not sit down to write tbe tbrice-told-tale of wes tern agricultural and commercial progres sion, 1 will only mention one department of general interest in which there is any marked change, and also one other thing of western importance in which there i scarcely any change, generally speaking, j perceptible. Tbo first is in matters of publio opinion tnd policy. There is a great Hegira eut of the potent Democratic party, aud great accessions to tbe young giant Republican ism. As proof of this, your readers have only to refer to tbe abstracts of the late caovass in this State, and in tbe West generally. Tbe voice from Iowa is a dam per on tbe sham party. Tbe election of Vandcvcr and Curtis to Congress, is an honor to tbe supporters of Freedom every where, and especially to those unflinching sovreigns who proclaimed their condem nation of a corrupt Administration in such unequivocal terms. Tbe fact is, bogus democracy is, as the popular voice says, "non est combatibus in swampo up slunipo," which your patrons will understand is Latin, and will readily translate to mean, that tbe aforesaid sham democracy is not able to fight its way to power, and is like wise surrounded by tbe numerous quick quisition. This petition was numerously siguea by citizens or all denominations, and forwarded to the President, ate mpa nicd by a communication from tbe Presi dent of tbe Snyagogue of Portogeco Jews, jv..o.ijr ui ouite, m wuicn it was hoped that, "by some expsession. the moral weight of the United States, in tbe scale or nations, may be felt." In response io mis letter ana memotial, Secretary Cass wrote the following note : Department of State. Washington, Nov. 21, 1S58 To Mr. A. Hart, 4c.: oir : I have received and submitted to me 1 resident, your letter of tbe loth inst.. respecting the alleged forcible abduction from his parents of a Jewish child, by the yjoiie auinoriues or JJologua, io the Papal dominions, and asking some expression of cuuocruuauoQ on the part of this govern ment.

O The Illinois Senatorship. The question is still discussed in some of the Illinois papers, whether Mr. Douglas lief, that the States of this Union will j will be elected to tbe Senate. Tbe Louis cvcntually become all free States or all , ville Journal cays it is claimed that tbe 6lave States. It is true, that Mr. Seward very few, less we believe than half a dozen, went on to express bis confident belief, I Buchanan Democrats, who have been elec tbat they would all become free States, ted to tbe Legislature, hold the balance of but these honest editors forget to mention ; power, and it is alleged by some, that, in that fact What is there alarming or obedience to the behests of their master at wrong in the Senator's prediction 1 Ask honest northern Democrats, whether they expect slavery always to exist in this country, and nine out of ten will say they do not. They believe that slavery is to j.35 away, and that this is to become, in truiii as in name, a land of freedom and i jiml rights. There may be exceptions, lut that is the belief and hope of tbe Washington, they will go for staving off tbo election of tbe United States Senator until after the election of another Legis lature in Illinois. We have very little doubt they will keep themselves uncom mitted for tbo present, and for some time to come that they will in fact bold out for the best reward they can get. They will eventually conclude to go either for or great body of the northern people without ' against Douglas' re-election, accordingly distinction of party. Dauville Dcm. as tbey can get better terms from Douglas rWTare informed that some of the J or Buchanan.

A fortnight be fore, be lectured, in Birmingham, on " Early Methodism ;" and at tbe timo of bis death, was announced to conduct other services. He died at Audlcy, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England. ISuJeflerson Davis, in a late speech to bis constituents in Mississippi, takes tbo dvancing position in favor of the " pecu W institution," that Congrett must legit- FAVOR r.f slavery in tin territories; ustned io addition, that he had Mr. t&a's pi wise to go with him.

Michael Dclany, an Irish man, waa murdered at Slcwartsville, be yond Mt. Carmcl, this county, on Satur day evening last, by two Irishmen, named William Brian and William Larkin. They wore all drunk. Dclany wanted to fight, and followed them, whec Brian and Lar kin turned on him and beat and kicked him to death. The muicrcrs then escaped and aro supposed to have passed through this place on Monday night. Brian is about 5 feet, 8 or 9 inches in height, brown hair, small whiskers on tbe chin, slender built, and light complexion. Larkin is about 5 feet, 4 inches in height and of dark complexion.

A man who gavo his name aa Peter Martin, last week went to the police office, in St. Louis, looking the perfect pic ture of despair, and surrendered himself into tbe hands of tho authorities, saying tbat be was a murderer. The first words he uttered were, "I can stand it no longer; my life is a burthen, and I most reveal." He then proceeded to state tbat, about six weeks ago he came to St Louis, on a boat, from Cairo ; tbat, on tbe way up a fellow passenger, whose name be did not know, attempted to rob him, and that while the boat was in this port, he sought a quarrel with the unknown man, iu which he stab bed biu and then pitched the body over board, throwing tbe knife after him. He could not name the boat, and, in short, the above was all his story, which story must be regarded, if true, as a remarkable in stance of tbe remorse of conscience. Ev erything about the man seemed to bespeak the truthfulness of this statement, and at bis own request, he was placed in the cal aboose, to await an investigation of his representations.

A thing in wbioh there is not so much change, and in which Western men are very much interested, is the capacious Western pocket Dollars and cents are quiat nnamnnntahlv amm. and the. nnnaa improvemcnt ha unfortunately received a severe check. But every evil brings in its train, at least some small amount of good, to somebody. The hard times have stopped and put a quietus on tpt species of mad speculation which has taken pos session of a certain class of capitalists, East and West, and the growth of the country will henceforth be more natural and per manent Paper towns are also looking downward, which i a great blessing. A few words as to the locality iu which the writer has pitched bis tent. Hamp ton, tbe scat of justice, is situated near tbe centre of Franklin county about twelve or fifteen miles from the line of the Dubuque & Pacifio Railroad, (which by the way is finished, and in operation, some fifty miles, and a movement is on foot which it is confidently expected will end in the early completion of the road to Sioux City, on tha Mississippi river. It is proposed tbat the State loan its credit for the purpose, and if this is done, you will again hear of the rapid settling of Northern Iowa.) Tbe village is only four years old, and in that time has grown to a respectable size, con taining a Court House, Bteam grist mill and saw mill, stores, &c. There is in the neighborhood good bodies of timber, and a fine stream passes by the town. Some few miles westward, on the road to Fort Dodge, is the noted Walled Lake, which, notwithstanding the report circula ted in various papers, is a reality, being nothing less than a beautiful body of clear water in the midst of the prairie -urround-ed by a regularly laid stone wall, compo sed of tbe well known boulder rock whieh is found pretty generally dispersed thro' out the western prairies, though, strange enough, not seen for some miles iu the vicinity of this walled curiosity, exeept upon its very margin, in the wall describ ed. This lake is within a few feet of tbe road, and is worthy a journey of miles to see. Miss Abigail Gardner, who was taken by the Indians iu tbe winter of 56-57, resides at this place. Your readers will recollect tbat she and three other women were, after their friends were murdered in cold blood by the ruthless savagesknown as Iok-pa-du-tah's band, compelled to wade through tbe deep auow for many a weary mile, bearing heavy burdens, and being subjected to the most horrible indignities at their bands. Miss Gardner and Mrs. Marble were reamed, but the others fell victims to the baibftrity of their savage tormentors. Her story, as told by herself, ia interesting and affecting in tha extreme. She baa since been married, and is living in peace among her friends. I may write again anon. Youra truly, Jas. T. Mc Printers sometimes make queer mistakes. An editor says " tha Democracy are licked freedom, does it contain. He has not asked to interpose the power oi tnc United btates. He was merely re quested to expostulate, in a civil and friendly manner, against an act of cruel violenee and oppression, which strikes a blow at the personal liberty of every hu man bcinir. calculated to surprise tbe civilized world, and to widen tho breach between Protes tants and Catholics, even in this country, whieh many were trying to close up. Tbe child of Monola Mortara, secretly sprink led by a servant girl, out of excess of teal for the Mother Church, is torn from its parents, and their natural claims over him are treated with contempt by tba Inquisi tion. This is sanctioned by the Pope, who says it ia impossible that tha child shoo!d be restored to them. He thus de clares that an ignorant servant girl, or any other person professing the Catholic faith, may, by sprinkling a little water upon a cbild, give to that ceremony all the effect of baptism, and transfer the fidelity of tbe child from its parents, if tbey ara what are called "heretics," and make them strangers to their own offspring, who can havo no authority over it Was there ever a more monstrous dogma enunciated in the wildest days of superstition and eccle siastical tyranny ? The church claims to be universal, and its doctrines must be the same throughout the world. The same thing may be done with the cbild of a Protestant in any part of tbe globe ; and unless the Papal authority withdraws the extraordinary claims set up in this case, the consequences npon the social condition of Catholics where there is no established religion, and where Protestant sects pre vail, will be highly disadvantageous to the laity of that church. Prudent persons will not risk tbe consequences of employ ing Catholics, because, according to .this precedent, the latter may at any time,aod in any plaee, without the consent of pa rents, by a stealthy or violent act, change the course of education and course of life of children or weak persons. If such a doctrine is submitted to, a complote sep- eration between Catholies and Protestants will be likely to ensue, and religions con troversies of the most bitter character will follow. Just reverse the case. Suppose a Jew ish nurse was to eircumoize the child of a Catholic, and the Rabbis were to seize tbe child and refuse to restore it to its pareuts; and tbat all this was sanctioned by tha Jewish church. What would the Catho lics say to such a proceeding 7 Would tbey submit quietly to it ? And if it would be wrong in the latter instance, is it not equally so when the aama thing is done by tbe Inquisition at Bologna, and receives the endorsement of the Pope him self? We leave them to answer these questions. Clearfield Raftsman. Farmer's High School of PennsWvania.

W e mentioned in our last, in an abstract of tbe proceedings of the Circuit Court, that a man named John Ualpin had been found guilty and condem ned to a year's service io the penitentiary, for having stolen and killed a heifer be longing to U. J. Reed. It turns out that Mr. Reed's heifer was neither stolen or killed, for a day or two ago it came home alive and hearty, thus proving tbat poor Halpin had been wrongfully condemned. Fortunately he had not been sentenced ; so a new trial was granted him, upon which tbe indictment was quashed and tbe man released. Otloica (Ohio) Free Trader. The farm below Milton, lately owned by Phillip Uiigert, deceased, ceotaining 113 acres, was up at Public Sale, and struck down to David Esbbach, if Turbut township, for tbe sum of one hundred and thirty-two dollars and a half, par acre.
