CANZONET. BY WM. PIATT. Where shall the beautiful rest? Villegas. Beautiful! wheie, oh! where would ye sleep, When winter howieth around ? Do ye think on the graveso cold and deep When the frost shall chain the ground? Beautiful! where, oh! where would ye sleep; When summer has faded away, And the sickle of autumn the flowers shall reap, From the graves of the fair and gay? Beautiful ! where, oh! where would ye sleep, If not in summer or spring! Ah me ! who shall then your vigils keep, When no birds are left'to sing? Beautiful! where, oh! where would ye sleep, By the soft meandering wave? When willows the dewdrop tenderly ivecp O'er your premature, desolate grave? It matters not where, the beautiful sleep, Or if summer shine brightly above, Or the bleak winds of winter rudely sweep O'er the graves of those we still love ! It matters not where, the beautiful sleep, If they do but lidie in the irust," For their mem'ries kind love a record will keep, When their forms have crumbled to dust! Oh ! bury them there or in valley, or wave, Or on lofty mountain's steep; For angels of light ever watch the grave Where the loved the beautiful sleep ! It matters not, whore, the beautiful sleep, Or if buds or frost be given It matters not who their vigils keep, ' "For tfiey all shall wake in heaven." A part of the above, the author has heretofore published. Perseverance and Triumph. Some years ago, there was a shoemaker boy in the lower pari of Cumberland counly, New Jersey, who was remarkable for his love of reading. All Ms leisure hours were employed with a book, while his companions were pass ing their's in idleness, or worse than idleness the celebration of Crispinmaa. At length he took his stick and bundle and started for the southwest. Time passed on, and the studious shoemaker continued his studies with unabated zeal. His companions, intent upon their amusements, had almost forgotten him; they continued their devotions to their patron saint for the best part of their weeks, and plied the awl and thread for the balance, unhonored by others because unrespecled by themselves. And thus they will continue to reap the bitter fruits of misspent youth, until a welcome grave closes over them, while John Henderson, their fellow apprentice, with the same chances, but a higher aim, is one of Mississippi's hon orable representatives in the most dignihed Senate that ever deliberated. iSridge of Ice at IYiagava Falls. The river below the great cataract presents at this time a most singular phenomenon, being completely bridged over from? the foot of Table Rock to a distance of mile andand a: writ, by an arch of impacted ice, of immense thickness, which has been crossed daily by travellers and visitors for a week oast, in perfect safety. The ice, broken fnto very fine pieces in its passage over the' Falfs, has risen up below in such quantites and with cuclr force, that the mass has been elevated no less than thirty-live feet above the Summer level of the river, and frozen solidly together by the showering spray, pre sents a firfp mass wiih occasional fissures sereral feet n width, and of great depth. So permanent seems this wonderful barrier of na ture, that a small building has been erected on it and occupied as a grocery store. Buffalo Advertiser. YoutSz.

I V ' The Ativasttage of Advertising1. The editor of the wheeling Times speaks of a merchant who undertook to expend his first year's profit in advertising1. After trying four months, he found his profits to great that he could not find enough papers to advertise in, and had to give it up; but continued to adver tise in every paper in his region, until in 8ix years he quilled business with half a million of roadv cash. 0 Five Facts.

We learn from Hunt's Merchant's Magazine the February number of which, by-the-by, is one of the most interesting arid instructive we have yet perused that the tea-plant is success fully cultivated in a large scale in the island of Madeia, at an elevation of 3,000 feet above the sea, bj Mr. Henry Veitch, British Ex-Consul. The quality of the leaf is excellent ; he whole theory of curing it is merely to destroy the herbaceous taste, the leaves being perfect, when, like hay they emit an agreeable odour. But to roll up each leaf, as in China, is found too expensive, although boys and guls are em ployed at an expense of five cen'is per day. This difficulty is represented as an insupera ble obstacle to the successful competition of tht. new tea plantation in Assam, (British India,) with the still cheaper labour ot China. Ihe enterprising ex-consul is now engaged in com pressing the tea-leaves into small cakes, which can be done at a trifling expense, so as to en able him lo export to England immense quanti ties, at lower prices than would import it from China. Compression would have one impor tant advantage over rolling the leaves. It is performed when the leaf is dry ; whereas the rolling requires moisture, and subsequent roast ing on copper plates is necessary to prevent mustiness. In this process, the acid of tea acts upon the copper, and causes the astrin gency which we remark in all China teas. The olean fragrans, the flower of which is used to scent the teas, especially the black, grows luxuriantly in Madeira. Newburyport Herald. Correct Idea. An editor's sanctum should be sacred. His papers should not be touched till after he has gleaned their contents to his satisfaction. Take up his "mail," and leave first this paper in folio'; that in quarto, t'other crumpled up, and the whole in confusion, and though his bump of or der be as large as a piece of chalk, he can never arrangethem satisfactorily. His ideas will become deranged and out of sorts, just from gazing on the disordered pile before him, and Itis paragraphs jagged and uneven a3 sawteeth. Let our papers alone, and how smoothly we'll wade through them ! No time is lost in look ing for an estray. The sought for is full be fore our eyes clipped out, and a neatly folded sheet placed aside as "a thin g of yesterday." While Napoleon was inspecting some of the out posts of his army, at night, previous to the baitle of Jena, he was challenged by a sentry, and not answering was fired upon. The sol dier was brought before Napoleon and repri manded for not taking tetter aim, and told to be more sure of his mark next day. A little eirl hearing her mother sav she was going ixx'half mourning, inquired if any of her relations were half dead. Temperance. A loafer once promised never again to call for liquor at a bar. In order to evade this promise, he went into a tavern with friend, then, according to agreement, asked him softly with what weapon David slew Goliah. He looked at the bar-keeper, and replied in a loud voice "a sling!" A ILion Frightened. It is related in Sir J. Alexander's Southern Africa, in describing his adventures among the Boschmans, that a short time previous to his arrival among this tribe, a young Boschman, in hunting a troop of zebras, had just succeeded in wounding one of them with an arrow, when a lion sprang out of an opposite thicket, and showed a decided inclanation to dispute the prize. . ., Tho Boschman, luckily bemg near a tree, dropped his arms, and climbed for safety with out a moment's delay to an upper branch. The lion having allowed the wounded zebra to pass on, now turned his whole attention towards the perching huntsman, and walking round and round the free, he now and then growled, and looked up at him rather unpleasantly. At length the lion lay down at the foot of the tre, and kept watch all night. Towards morning, sleep over came the hith erto wakeful Boschman, and he dreamed that he had fallen into the lion's mouth. Starting from the effects of his dream, ho lost his seat, and tumbling from the high branch on which he had been reposing", came squash down upon the lion's ribs. The monster not being at all prepared for an assault of Utis description, bolt ed off with a tremendeous roar, and the Bosch man lost no time in taking to his heels in an nnnncitn direction, scarcely believing the evi dence of his senses.

A Dreadful Affair Murder in tfee Halls of jLegaslalion. The intelligence 6f the death uf the Hon. Charles C. P. Arndt, a member of ihe Conucil from Green Bay, in the Legislature of Wis consin, is one of those events that calls for public indignation from all purls of tho country.' It is one more of the ten thousand reasons why private citizens should nut be peru.ittcd to wear fire arms. The country has lost in Mr. Arndt a most amiable and interesting citizen one who, by his fine talerits, made himself tie favourite o( his constituents. We had the plea sure of meeting Mr. Arndt in this city about a year ago, on his way from Washington to hi- residence in the West. His father, Judge Arnut, lelt Jrennsylvania a number ol years 8ee, and settled at Green Bay. The deceas ed, Wo think, was also born in (his State, and was decWediy one of the ablest men in the Ter ritory. ra. Tnquirer. Hori,iy Tradgedy; By a slip from ive Southport Telegraph Wisconsin, we learn thaM(G Hon. Charles C. P. Arndt, member of the tiyncil from Brown county, was shot dead on the ftu of the Coun cil chamber, by James R. Vineya member from Grant county. The affair grewt t,f nomination for Sheriff of Grant countyjr E. S. Baker was nominated, and supported Mr. Arndt. This nomination was opposed by Vinevard. who wanted the appointment to vest in his own brother. In the course of debate the deceased made some statements .which. Vineyard pronounced false, and made use of violent and insulting language, dealing largely in personalities, to which Mr. A. made no reply. After the adjournment, Mr. A. stepped up to Vineyard and requested him to retract, which ho refused to do, repealirigthe offenive words. Mr. Arndt then made a blow at Vine yard, who stepped back a pace, drew a pistol, and shot him dead. The issue appears to have been provoked on the part of Vineyard, who was determined at all hazards to defeat the appointment of Baker, and who, himseif defeated, turnedhis ire and re venged upon the unforruna'te Arndt. Profit of Temperance. A worthy mechanic, of Salem, Mass.. who, from the force of his own convictions, discon tinued' the use of intoxicating drinks a year ago, celebrated the anniversary of his freedom from a bad habit by inviting a few of his friends, on. evening last week, to partake of a clam chow der. After due discussion of the savory mess which formed so important a part of the suste nance of our pilgrim fathnrs, and in praise of which the pen of the latest British traveller in this country runsriot the host opened his.desk, and took out a drawer of money." He showed his guests that there were more than a hundred dollars in the drawer, and informed them that those were the savings of his "grog money" for the year. Every day he had deposited in the drawer the sum he would previously have spent for liquor, and this was the result? Hero was. absolutely, the foundation of a fortune. Think of it, young men, and remember that the regu lar saving of this sum, with its lawful interest, would insure a handsome independence, in" old age, for any of you.. Daily Chronicle. Tlie Santa Fe Expedition." Franklin Combs, one of the Expedition, liberated by the orders of Santa Anna, has ar rived at New Orleans. His narrative, as pub lished in the Crescent City, is full of interest, and the treatment experienced by those who are made prisoners by the Mexicans, is des cribed as being of a most outrageous nature. Ho says they were bound "six and eight to gether," with thongs of raw hide and in this manner forced to travel to Mexico, a distance of 2000 miles. They experienced evejrx10 cies of ill-treatment, were robbed-sflneir 3hoes, blankets, coats and hats, and denied the.ne cessary quantity of food and water. The weather was cold and they came near perish ing in their nakedness. Mr. Ellis, the Ameri can Minister, callod several times upon Santa Anna, but was denied an audience. The whole description is harrowing in the extreme, and we dobut not Mr. Kendall, of the Pica yune, should he be fortunate enough to regain his liberty, will give a graphic account in the columns of his paper. lb. A Feat Indeed. The Rutland, Vermont, Herald says: "Mr. Truman Kilburn, of Middletown, while cutting a hole in the ice on Wells Pond, dropped hU axe through the hole wliere the water was 16 l-2ffeet deep. He threw off his clothes-,- dove through the hole whe;re he lost his axe, went lo the bottom,' got his axe and threw it upon the ico.
