my mind-in rapid succession. The scene
swam before me. I•seemed .to lie amid
the. murmuring . - waters of the ocean.—
The sky touched my eyes. •Sorrunts, twin
brother to death, held me in close em•
brace.
* • • .* And now appearel l
before me a beautiful female. ' Soft aerial
music. played around, the musicians, them
selves invisible. She was robed. in a long
flowing mantle of azure gauze, which fell
gracefully over her and dazzled , by its lus,
tre a too close survey.
."GraCe was in all
her" eleps." ; She cast.her eyes upon 'ma,
lustrons•'orbs, which filled me with an 'un
utterable longing to know, more of ' her ;
but the words I would have spoken died
away ere they pslssed my lips. She rais
ed her hand, her ,white delicitte
t rhe music ceased, and yet gave place only
to sweeter sounds.
`I am,' she said, one of. the seraphs
of air, my dwelling place among. the flee
cy/clouds. It was long my, destiny to fol.
IoW in .the track and keep up' with the
chariot of 'the gun. Since. men devoted
themselves to the pursuit of the. arts , and
aiences, Apollo has appointed me his a
gent on earth, an&corrAmitted to my hand
other and more delightful duties. The
sage .Igtima_cinee„boasted me_his-associate,j
Plato, too. I have selected many (torn
all'elimes, with whom 1 have_ abode for a

way. And remember, it is. in yoUr pow
er to liv , e :loved„ honored and respected,
an example to future times, or yours may
be a name for the loathing of. posterity, -
' or but to appear upon the stage of action
and pass away . as that which has never ,
been.—unhnown, unhonored, unlamented.
You have within you a.strong desire for
excellence—yon have ambition. Let this
be directed towards a prpper object, and
let this•be the sole .object of life. Strain
every nerve, and task all the energies of
your mind in. this pursuit. Let not the
pleasures in"which youth loves to indulge
sway - you from your path. Remember
that knowledge .is power; fear not to drink
deep at her fountains. Shake tiff dull
sleep and let him have no more sway over
you than nature requires. Shall . I speak
.of-teniparance.- What need! if not twit
perate the power of thought, the magic
of. the mind" is clouded, is of no avail.—
for man, there are high destinies,' noble
objects ; imitate not, • then, the brute that
perislies. If you would take a partner for
life, let no influence of 'friends cause you
to disregard the voice - of the affections.—
Marry her for herself, not for the adventi
tious qualities she may possess. Bear in
mind that " the only amaranthine flower
on earth - is virtue," and let garlands of
this encircle your brows. If you would
find certain happiness'in life"—.' The
voice ceased. She , turned, and with a
warning gesture, amid the most delightful
harmonies, vanished 'from before me. I
endeavored to follow, but was bound by a
spell, ah. irresistible enchantment, to the
spot. She had passed
To the land where sin had never been,
A land of lose and a land °flight,
Without e'en sun, or moon, or night; •
Where the rivers swayed a living stream,
The light a pure celestial beam,•
The laud of spirits, itlyould seem,
A pure, an everlasting dream."
And I was not alone, Am casting my
eyes around, Iv saw a youth with flailed
countenance, long and flowing hair, ad
vancing briskly towards me, The very
sight of him. seemed to fill me with a eel , :
tain indefinable pleasure. My blood danc
ed
,through my veins. He held in his
hand a mnp crowned with flowers, and with
a clear sweet voice he thus addressed me :
' You see before you, an attendant
upon -Venus, a star to mortals; but among
us, the most lovely of the nymphs of
heaven. She bade me appearlto you and offer
a place among her worshipers. She is one

about to conduct'me. - forw_ard. Gods ! how

She kielte - dAipen me. ,IVIy heart beat con
vulsively. I was enchained•by itarids of
adamant! Tho music 'that had Ceased
while my fair conductress Was speaking,
was again resumed. A choir of •srtirits
who seemed to hover a-quad us, at len g th,
after a short prelude, sung of Adam and,
Eve, emparadiced in the blissful bowers-of
Eden, of the loves of Abelard and Eloise,
of Juan and' Haidce. Whilel listened in
rapt attention, Soft and bewitching emotions
scented to steal over meal. I met the glance
or Symposia's spatting eyes. Ilow beau:
tiful she looked I Uuconsciousness.of the
present fell upon me, I knew not where I
was, mayhap in the seventh heaven.
. * *
In daneing,feasting and merriment,days,
weeks, months glided by. My temples
were bathed in the Lethean - stream of for
getftilness. The past, the future were no
more to me. To, enjoy the present was
all•for‘ which my bosom panted.
• •
While in this state of mind; 'there one
day entered our bowers a young man of
noble presence, intellect and commanding
features, and. an elegance of gait and grace
of manner that! had never seen surpassed.
I looked around for my Symposia;that she .
might also note him, and judge my sur
prise, when I found that , she had already
left me. She advanced towards the stranger
and welcomed him as she had before wel
comed me.
'l;soon' perceived a glowing intelligence
'arising between them, and a new emotion,.
one unfelt beflire, began.to burn in my
veins.—l-percelved-myself-hrwsh - ort - thne
neglected amlthe "green eyed monster"
took entire possession of me. I .wander
ed through the groves in a most unenviable
state of mind. I vented my rage in curses,
my grief in unmanly tears.
It chanced that one day I threw myself
down by a fountain, and casting_ niy eyes
upon it, I saw my image reflected from the
clear mirror. Heavens ! could it be possi
ble that the• features I there:sew, could be
my own Y Was the bloated countenance,.
there presented, ..the protruding. eyes, the
carbuncled nose, the bending form, identi
cal with him of Whom it had been said,
he was
• "The fashion's idol, person, pen, and lyre,
The self-devoted darling of the fair ?" •
From that moment, in the bitterness of
my feelings, I determined to reform my
Jife. - Counsels of the sweet seraph were
again present to mind, reviving what no
bleness of spirit yet remained, and I made
a vow to sacrifice at her shrine, alt the fol
lies of the past.and devote myself to -,her
for the rest of myffi
days. Yet the dicul
ties of breaking fiem the gym bands which
had se long enchained me, weiglied upon
te7 !spirit, and remorse' rOMained knobking
at my heart. The feeling's that ' agitated
My bosom;atlergth' found 'vent in words:

NOBLE SENTIMENTS.—This is an agree=
able world after all: If we would only
bring_ ourselves to lo_o_Lat_the_objects_tliat
surround us in their true light, we should
see beauty where before we beheld deforni
ity, and listen to harmony where before we
could hear nothing but discord. To be
sure there is a great deal of anxiety to meet;
'we cannot expect to sail upon a summer
coast. forever; yet if we preserve a calm
eye and steady hand, w.e can so trim our
sail and Manage our helm as to avoid the
quicksands and weather the storm that
threatens shipwreck:' We are members of
one
. great family ; we . are travelling the
same road and shall arrive at the same goal.
We breath the sane air; are subject to the
same bounty, and we shall lie dOwn upon
the bosom of our common .mother. It is
-not- beComing then, that brother should
hate brother ; it is not proper that friend
should deceive friend; it is not right that
neighbor should injure neighbor.. We pity

SPEECH OF HR. UNDERWOOD,

able speech delivered by 1,1 - on. - 'l'. 11. Urt
WOOD, of Kentuelti,, in the U. S. House
of Representatives, en the 10th ult. It
treats,of the true modeofrestoring a sound
Currency. ; examines the. defeated Exche
quer plan; and presents the defeat of the
Whigii in the State elections last fall in
their' proper light.and . presentsn case .well
calculated tolnspire us witfi confidence in
the next great contest in 1844.-' There is
no doubt but that 'the treachery orrOhn
Tyler prevented thousands from 'going to
•the polls last fall, who when the question
of electing his, successor - coines „up will
rally with enthusiasm around the trium
pliant. standard 0f,.1840':
"We never could haven currency in this
country such - as viould restore
,kosperity
unless it was based en nu association - of
capitalists in the form of a National Bank.
linstead of making sucli,corporations pay a
bonus to the Government, the true -policy
was to refuse any bonus and limit them in
the amount of _their profits. In- this man
ner we would take away_from=them-all
..temptations-b-y--an excessiie-lisue--to-injure
the country, and would put it idtheir: pow- .
yr, if the amount of' issues, Was made to
depend upon their specie, to enlarge -the
circulation of the 'country, to, benefit the
country, and give vigor and—animation to
trade and coinmercel" The greatevil in the
country now. was the diminution of the
currency and the approximation to the gold .
and silver standard. It was that operation
which had ground down the leadingpor
tion of the community, those. who had id
volved themselves by the purchase of pro
perty,and which had - prolfl the distress
now pervading the country from - one -end
to the other, to such an extent even that
women in Philadelphia, without crime,
were applying m i . the magistrates - to send
them to, jail for support. This condition
of things had been brought on.by this yery
expansion and
were
of the currency.
Purchases were Made While the expansion
continued; • the restrictive operation took
-place, under which there was an • apPrOxi
mation to " a gold and silver 'standard, and
the circulating medium was reduced to one
li what it was ; and then two, three or
four times as much property as was before
necessary bad to be sold to produce the a ,
mount of'the payment. That was the,
operation which was grinding the country
In duet, audit), Yorne.dy.....w
to create a - National Bank, which, instead
of still further diminishing the cileienting
medium, might have a tendency to enlarge
it, to increase it on a sound.basis. If we
could, by operating on the currency of this
country, bring up the 'slices of labor and
of other 'articles highert.lian they were in
other countries, we would thereby enable
our citizens to obtain more of the comforts
oflife than individuals in other countries did.
NoW-this Exchequer plan of his friend
from Massachusetts, (Mr. Cushing,) in
'stead of. increasing the 'circulating Medium
of the country ; instead of enhancing the
prices of labor and property ; instead of
operating as dremedy for the existing state
of affairs, simply proposed that dollar for
dollar for the specie- on hand be thrown out
for a circulating medium ;and, so far as it
operated.cnd the prices or on the labor of
the country, it would have -no influence in
remedying the evils which existed. What
would it do ? The only effect of it would .
be to enable the individual whd might have'
a thousand or ten thousand dollars in specie
to deposit it, and get a portable currency
that i e - might - cariy - abou rin tiffspocket.
Was it worth while to permit an institution
of this sort to go. into operation, when that
was its only effect, so far as the business
and currency of the country was concerned?
Ile (lid not look at the Exchequer in this
point of view as a fiscal agent of the dov•
ernnaent ; that was another other question.
Ile was taking it at this time•simply in
contrast with a Bank of the United States.
As a mere fiscal agent its operations would
not be more beneficial than the sub=trea-
Bury of the other party.. it would have
no - good effect as a remedy for the dis
tresses of the country ; it proposed to fur
nish no additional amount of 'gold and sil
ver which was abstracted from circulation.
It had been said on that flour, that
.the
Whiff party was prostrate, and that it was

-The gentle Man from Virginia (Mr. Wise)
said the other day, that, if waked, up at
six o'clock any ;naming,
.he could have
told . what John Tyler would do in regard
to a bank of the United States—that a bank
bill would,not be signed by him. ° That
was information which , the people of this
country had not in their possession. It
•was not-belillved in-his section of the - cou - n 7 ,
try. The very fact that Mr. Tyler attend,
61 the Harrisburg convention—the very
fact, which was known,• ihat-Mr. "Clay
was his favorite candidate for the Presiden•
cy was enough to show that •he would
have approved and signed" anything Mr.
Clay would have approved and signed.
Now, he would ask With what consis
tency could Mr. Tyler, after being in fa
vor. of Mr. Clay's selection for the Pres
idency, who Was known to be the: advo
eate"of.a United States hank, pretend'that
he was not looked upon as being also in fa,
vor of that measure ?
----He concluded by expressing it as his.
belief that 'the next Presidential contest
would be dechled upon the question as'io
whether there 'should be a national curren
cy, based on individuals funds; •on the
question,. of distributing the proceeds of
the public lands to the States, to whom, as
he_tbought; they rightly belonged; on the
question of restricting the power of the
Executive
,by limitations upon it, thttegli
an amendment to the Federal Constitution;
and on all thosst_o_ . titer measures which had
become the standard faith of the Whig
party. When the contest wined on ques
tions like' theie, he as firmly '.believed`
that the people would decide it in . favor of
the ascendancy of the Whigs; as now
believed he was talking to the House of
Representatives. It must' be so, or the
institutions of the country could not be
preserved. Without it, they would not be,
worth preserving.
