The future is a great land: how the
lights, and the shadows throng overit,
bright and dark, slow and swift!
Pride and Ambition built up great cas
tles on its plains, great inonunieuts on
the mountains, that reach heavenward,
and dip their top in: the blue Eternify.
Then comes an earthquake the earth
quake of disappointment, of distrust, or
of inaction, and lays them low. Gaping
desolation widens its branches everywhere;
the eye is full of them, and can see noth
ing besides. By. and by, the gun peeps
forth, as: now from behind yonder .cloud
and. reanimates the soul.
Fame beckons, sitting high in the heav
ens; and joy lends a halo to the vision.--A
thousand resolves sfcir -our heart, your
hand is hot, and feverish for action; your
train works madly, and you snatch here,

The Tribune, in the course of its re
view of Mr. Clay's late letter, make3 the
following statement of the feelings of Mr.
Clay and another gentleman of the South
towards -their Slaves.
We know that Mr. Clay has respecled
ly had slaves run away into Free States,
and has been urged to pursue them; be
ing told where they might be found; and
his uniform rep!y has been, "No, I dont
want any servant that chooses to run a
way from me unless he shall see fit
freely to come back again." And his 13
no uncommon case hundreds of slave
holders, who make no parade of the cir
cumstance, have fugitive slaves now liv
ing at the North, and know just where
to find them, yet refuse to have any thing
to do with hunting ,thein. An old Mem
ber of Congress ultra Southern at that
was last winter told where be might re
capture" a valuable fugitive slave for whom
he had paid 800 in cash and he utter
ly refused to authorize his recapture, say-
" j iug, :If lie prefers Freedom to Slavery,

choice."

a cold in the head,' the most provoking,
vulgar, and disgusting disordes possible
to honest people, can be qualified and
palliated a little by calling it an 'influen

and his wife the former a plain, blunt
man, the latter a 'genteel affected wo
man both thoroughly sick with a cold
in the head. The man was taking it nat
urally, and hard. The woman was dress
ed in rather .a showy, carefully made
disJiabillCy and was clearly doinghcrbesfc
to make a handsome thing of her uncom
fortable situation. 'And how is madame to
day?' said we, addressing"1 the lady.
'0h; shockingly ill,' replied the woman
trying to look interesting, in spite of ber
swollen eyes and red nose: 'I am afiiictcd
with the prevailing wjluc-rizah.'
And she pronounced the last two words
as if she were establishing her character
as a fashionable woman by her elegant;

'And you are sick, too' said we, ad
