The deiv drop is never so clear,
As when morning's first ray sees it glisten
And music is never so dear,
As when to its last notes we listen.
We never know how we have loved,
'Till what we most loved has departed;
For the truth of affection is proved,
. By the cheerless ?Ind desolate•hearted,
So, pleasures are born but to die,
And linked to our hearts but to sever,
Like stars shooting 'thwart a dark sky,
Shining brightest when fading , forever.

My soul thy' sacred image keeps,
My midnight dreams are all of thee;
For nature then In silence sleeps, .
And silence broods o'er land and sea;
Oh, in that still, mysterious hour,
How oft from waking'dreams I start, •
•To find thee but a fancy flower,
Thou cherished idol of my heart.
Thou host each thought and dream of mine—
Have I in turn one thought oethine ?
For ever thine AV dreams will be,
Whate'er nifty be my fortune here,
I oak not love—l claim from thee
Only one boon, a gentle tear;
Nay blest visions from above
Play b, ightly 'round thy happy heart,
And may the beanie of pence and love
Ne'er from thy glowing soul depart.
Farewell!, my dreams.nre still with thee,
Host thoutine tender thought of me!
My joys like summer birds may fly,
My hopes like summer blooms depart,
But there's one flower that cannot die,
Thy holy memory in my heart ;
No dews that one flower's cup may fill,
No sunlight to its leaves be given,
But it will live and flourish still,
As deathless as a thing of heaven.
My soul greets thine, unasked, unsought,
Host thou for me one gentle-thought?
Farewell! Farewell! my far-off friend I
Between us broad, blue rivers,flow,
And for6di - Viiive and plains extend,
And mountains in the sunlight glow;
The wind that breathes upon thy brow
Is not the wind that breathes on mine,
The starbeams shining on thee' now
Are not the beams that on me shine;
But memory's spell is with me yet—
Can'st thou the holy past Icorget?
The bitter tears that thou and I
May shed whene'er by anguish bowed,
Exhaled into the noontide sky,
➢lay meet and mingle in the cloud; -
And thus, my much beloved friend, though we
For, far apart must live and move,
Our souls, when God shall set them free,
Can mingle in the world,of love.
This was an ecsnicy to me—
Say—would it be a joy to thee? 3

THE VALE OF SWEET WATERS.
The Turkish Ladies out of Doors
Friday, the Sunday of the Mahomedans, is
ileo their day of recreation. We are now in
full spring, the season in which the Turks fre•
quent the country. This is the tinao for their
excursion's to waters of Asia oi^af--EfiroPo.,—
The former is, however, more resented to in
the autumn, end the latter draws greater
crowds in the present season: On Friday last
the Sultan repaired there alter mr.;,c.que, as al
so the ladies of his harem. 'slurry thousand
coignes might be seen gliding shag the Gol
den Horn, filled with the famtlies'of the pooh
as, all bound for the same desilnation, the
Sweet Waters of Europe, and Sped with the
veiled beauties of the harein. his vain to at
tempt to give a ticseription of this scene. It
would require the eye of an artist,to deserved.,
ty appreciate its peculiar feature,Ond not the
humble pen of your matter of.friercorrespon
dent to describe it. The seentia the Sweet
Waters of Europe last Friday reminded one of
the Arabian Nights, an , d' of the'brillinnt de
scriptions of the East 'o'nly to be met in the
poems of Moore or Byron. The Waters of Eu.
rope were sweet indeed last Friday. Many
thousand sweet creatures were there, spread
about the green meadows in groups of four and
five, with little children and young girls in
their brilliant Oriental costumes. In order to
place this scene vividly before
,you, it is nee-.
essory.to explain the position or the little val
ley in which 'all this occurred.
The Valley of the Sweet Waters of Europe
-is at the extremity of the Goldenllorw, where
two small rivulets enter the sea. , The Sultan
has a kiosque on the border of these streams.
The valley is not more than half a milnwide,
with gr.mn hilib rising at eacCalde. It in al•
most entirely meadow, interspersed with - trees
here and there, and a little wood on the left
side. It It - not — cultivated, neither is much
cars taken of it. At any dire but spring or
autumn it is indeed barren, and towards the
centre swampy, and during the winter months
frequently under water. At' - present it is,
however, in its full beauty anti - verdure. On
Friday it - Was peopled by many thousand per
sons. I never saw it so full before. The way
was blocked' up by carriages full of Turkish
ladies, and the river was literally so full of
caiques that you could not yass. The fair na
tives of far Armenia and gi 9 r g firmero there
spread about on the graris; black eu
nuchs on white Arabians Whirled about with
jealous eyes, watching over tliii"property of
their masters. The Turklo veile° Yash
mak) hides the greater part of the face from
1 1 view, but these fair Orientals have of late years:
changed the texture - of this covering, so that
you can well distinguish the finely chiselled
nose, and rosy lips beneath it. What beauty
was not there assembled ? I had never seen
such an assemblage brlurkish ladies before,
or rather of ladies belonging to Turks, and had
often thought the accounts and descriptions of
Oriental beauty exaggerated. They are not.
If there was one, there wore a hundred young
wanden there of the highest class of beauty,
with the straight Grecian noso,.and that clear,
soft dark, almond shaped eye. What, eyes,
and also what looks I They seemed very hap
py—seated, in little groups, pio-,nicking. They
had all brought' their dinners with them, and
sweet-meats, which they were enjoying, list
ening to the most discordant humdrum Turk
ish music, which was being performed by par
ties of four or five men with a species of guitar,
not unfrequently accomphttiO by a guttural
°haunt, the only excuse the Turkish have for
singing. I am not,an admirer of Oriental
ministrelsy. They have no ear for music.
Picture to yourself these thisfsand damsels
spread about the, green; in .blue, ;ink, purple,
orange, scarlet, green, and yellow costumes;
children in scarlet 'velvet, With gold plaited
through their hair, cod, intermixed with long
locks falling over their shoulders (there was
one little Turkish boy, the son of some paths,
dressed in red velvet, prancing .about on a
pony in every' direction;) Turkish soldiers;
great carts, gilt and decorated, drawn by bul
loos's, and filled with women; negroes on white
horses, galloping about on every side; Turks
sitting cross•legged, smoking narghiles and
ohibouks, in silence, enjoying their kief; Ar
nieninns; Persians, in thOir penned fur caps,
the Persian nmbarador in his earrings in lull
costume, followed by the most extraordinary
looking men on horseback, dressed up in Cash;.
,mar
,shawls; Ciroassitlps, in yellow, pointed
caps,, (almost all the embassies were there;)
mix with those some hundred British officers
of every uniford, and hill Royal flightless the
-Duke of Cambridge with his staff, all mounted
on superb Arabian herpes, the property of the
Sultan, with purple velvet saddles richly em
broidered in gold, and you may have some
idea of the brilliant scene the Sweet Waters of
Europe presented on Ezlilay lytt.
Ills Royal Ilighnes4allted end rode about
a good. deal; and scented to enjoy the scene

RA Al 8A S TERRITORY'
A correspondent•of the Ohio State Journal
writes an interesting letter friim Council Bluffs,
lowa, under date of June 10, 'from which we
copy the following: •
On Tuesday morning I took a seat in a coach
or a thing that was intended to supply the
place of one, from Independence through Kan
sas Territory to Fort Leavenworth. My good
opinion of Independence, and of the agricultu
ral richness and beauty of the country, is not
changed, It is very beautiful. In due time
we arrived at Kansas, at the mouth of the ,
Kansas Riier, Four miles from Kansas we
came to Westport. This . is back from the riv
er andsnot in sight of it, but .the Califotpia
trade rind outfit business - has made it a point
of some importance. There are several fine

Fort Leavenworth is on the west bank of the
Missouri, and in the new Territory of Kansas.
It is entirely a military encampment, the only
things that. look like forts being a pair of
block-houses, with musket port-holes. The
harrackenre extensive, and appear to be in
fine order. The store-houses, &0., are also
extensive, and are substantially built of stone.
Thera is a farm of 1,000 nores that' is cultiva
ted by Uncle Sam. It is a beautiful Mica and
in a high state of cultivation. Corn and eats,
are raised- in great abundance, for the use of
the garrisok, horses, &o: The attempt was
made to cultivate this land by the labor of the
soldiers, but it would not work, and it has
been abandoned: The corn was excellent and
woe kept in beautiful condition.. The land is
of rock, and is one of the finest and most sub
stantial on the river. It is my, opinion that
Fort Leavenworth is the place for a large town'
on the west side of the Missouri, and in the
Kansas Territory. It has a position and a
fine country about ft that will make it attrac
tive and give it importnna.
• Between Kansas and Westport we pissed an
encampment of 8000 Mormons that' were on
their way to the Great Salt Lake. They were
waiting for the balance of their company, and
bed been encamped there for several days.—
They were in a fine forest. Some were sleep
ing in their wagons, but the most of,them had
tents, and the woods and fields adjoining in all
directions were covered with these white and
fragile dwellings.' Oxen are used for teams.
Men, womeMaiid children were scattered about
on all sides. Blacksmiths' hammers were
heard, and the hum of preparation came up
from all parts of the camp. It was a singular
sight, and fraught with many suggestions and
reflections upon this strange and deluded peo
ple. These emigrants are generally from
Europe, and the most of them do not speak
word of .English. They have u long journey
before chea': The cholera is said to be among
them, but I have beard so many rumors of this
disease out west on the rivers, B.r.o:',iind have
seen so little of it, that 1 have lost all confi
dence in the truth of these stories.
Before we passed the Kansas, we came upon
an encampment that attracted attention. It
turned out to be a grand hunting company for
the plains. Sir George Gore, airEnglicih Bar
onet,, has taken it into his head that it will be
fine sport to hunt buffalo, &c., on our great
western plains; so he packed up his trunks,
&a., .and started for a regular summer cam
paign. He brought the most magnificent pack
of dogs that were ever seen in this country.—
Between forty and fifty dogs, mostly grey
hounds and stag-hounds, of the most beautiful
breeds, compose this part of the expedition.
Ile had a large carriage and probably a dozen
large wagons to transport provisions, &c.
These require - tire Yoke of oxen to each wagon.
These, with the horses, - men, &c., made up
quite an imposing company. Sir George is a
fine built, stout, light haired, and resolute
looking man. But these are other things be
sides fun in such a trip, and it will try the

THE AMERICANS IN CHINA.
The maile by the Atlantic bring the partic
ulars of the recent battle . . at Shanghai between
the American 'find British forties there and the
Imperialists. The cause of the attack was the
repeated outrages of the Imperial troops who
arc encamped in that vicinity warring against
the rebels who hold possession of Shanghai.—
The Imperialists numbered about ten thous
and ; their encampments were surrounded by
canals and mud walls. It appeared that the
Imperialists, who have armed vessels in the
water, have not hesitated to fire upon the
American and British flogs whenever carried
by small boati, besides assaulting and mal
treating foreign residents when they could get
them into their power
This state of affairs reduced a consultation
of the foreign residents with the Vise Consuls
and officers of the American and British-ves
sels off war, and it was agreed, as a rera i Wy
against these repeated outrages, to force the
Imperialists, should they, not remove of their
own accord, to retreat beyond the foreign res
idences. Three hundred marities and sailors
from the American and British vesaels, with a
volofiteor force from the foreign residents,
mustered. The Americans had three field
pieces to shell the camps, and the British took
one,. The following description is giverrof the
after operations :
We marched off to our respective national
airs, and after coming up within three hu'n:
dred yards of the fort, we unlimbered our
howitzers, loaded with shell, and at precisely
four o'clock commenced firing. For thirty
minutes this firing continued, doing immense
destruction to the Imperialists; hot they did
not return it, as the large field piece. which
was masked and loaded to the muzzle with
raugs,'weuld not go off. About this time we
had nearly consumed our shells, and as there
.were two more forts to take, the order was
given to ;charge. It was done, and when we.
were within thirty paces of the breastwork,'s
shower of bullets from jing gall! (like a musket
only they are about nine feet long and carry a
pound ball,)' killed a marine from the Plym• •
outh, vlounded Capt. Pea Mon, of the American
ship Rose Standish, in the face, and 111 r. Gris
wold Gray, of New York, in both legs. Capt.
Pearson's wound is slight,. but Mr. Gray had
to suffer amputation of his loft leg and is now
doing well. For fifteen minutes the balls
rained among us. We were only thirty paces
from the fort, With a deep and broad ditch
between us, filled with yon points to stick the
feet of the Chinese, but which proved to be en
tirely unavailing against the 'soles of Kimball
and Beesely's best. The wall of the fort, too,
was covered with sharp bamboo points, which
are very dangerous. Yet we opened our how
itzers again, and with canister poured a leaden
hail among them. This lasted for ten minu
tes, when an order *as given to scale the fort;
our men passed over and in like an avalanche,
and the Chinese fled at every gate. The fort
was taken and set on fire. --
While this was• being done by the Ameri
cans, Capt. O'Callaghan. wilh'his Englishmen
was scaling another one,, and it was -immedi
ately, also, in •a blaze. The rebels, too, lied
come out from the city in a large body to wit
ness how foreigners fight. After they had
seen ]OO arms take a fort and fire it, contain--
iyg over 2,000 Chinamen, and 200 Englishmen
do the same thing in the space of forty-minu
tes, they made an attack upon another fort
which is neat the wall, and being repulsed
they sent in to General Leu, asking for an ad
ditional force. General Len replied that the
foreigners, with one-third his number, had
just taken two forts, and that he ani his men
should have nothing to eat until they had taken
that one. This had the desired effect—the
fort was taken.
The Americans and Englishmen met, each
'haiiing.inaraiedVirqugh the forts of the 'repo
rialists, and jointly avacked the third and last
fort, which contained soldiers who had made
attempts to come down on the settlement. It
required only a few shells to put it in a blaze,
and the soldiers to flight in every direction
Thti ivholo'aotiou of the combined forties lasteal
oashour and a half; the Americana Mat on&
killed and throe wounded, and the English the
same; the wounded are all doing well. The
whole force employed from first to last, was
three hundred and thirty men and three field
twelve pound howitzers, and in a series of en
gagements which lasted ono hour and a half,
they dislodged ,ten thousand Chiziaindi from
separate fortifications, with the loss of two
killed and six wounded. Tho loss of the Chi-•
nestOwas immense, but no one has pretended
to put figures to the qurnher that was killed.
-We now resumed our march to the settle
ment,Jloaded with jingkalls and flags, as every
Chinese soldier had his own flag. From the
church steeple, where many ladies, had witnes
sed the battle, and from the houseti, the white
handkerchief was waved, silently sayirig "Well
done.'' A heavy patrol was' loft on the shore

DARK. DAYS
In the year 358, before the earthquake of
Nioomtdla, the darkness was very dense from
two to three hours . Two years afterwards, in
all' the provinces of the Roman empire, there
was obscurity from early dawn to noon. The
stars Were vlsibliN and Its duration Precludee
the idea of a solar eclipse. At the return of
light, the sun appeared first in a crescent form,
then half its face was seen, and was gradually
restored to its visible disk. In 402, the
stars were seen by day at Rome. About 536,
the sun was obscured for 14 months, so that
very little of his light was seen. In 567 such
darkness prevailed from 3 P. M. till night that
nothing could be seen. In 626, half the sun's
disk was obscured for eight months. In 733
he woe again darkened, and peOple were gen
erally terrified. In 634 Portugal was in dark
ness- for two months, the sun having lost its
brightness. The heavens were then opened in
fissures 14 strong flashes of lightning, when
there Was suddenly bright sunlight. Septem
ber 21,1091, the sun was darkened for three
hours. lebruary 28, 1206, for six hours com
plete darkness turned the day into night. In
2241, on Michaelmas day, the stars were visi
ble at 8 P. M. In 1547, April
.23-25; three
days, the sun was so obscured that many stare
were visible at once. Thus says Humboldtin
Cosmos.
If we come almost to our own time, to May
19, 1700, history and tradition assert the oc
currence of a remarkable day prevailing over
New England at least, and considerably in
:seine other places. It dame on bet Ween 10 Wa
n A. M , and continued until midnight, grow
ing gradually darker and darker, oven till 11
at night. Candles and lamps were, lightedfor
the people to see to dine and to perform work
about the house. These became requisite be
fore 12 o'clock, M. In the evening, so dense
was it, that farmers could scarcely, even with
the aid of a lattern, grope their way to the
barn to take of the cattle. The birds retired
to their roosts at 11 A. M., and the day WAS
converted into night.
Rum SrzEon.--The Indianapolis Journal
gives an'account of the speech made in, i thal
city recently bye Mr. Robinson, who was
there as a Delegate to the Democratic conven
tion. The speaker took high 'e,rounds in favor
of the Nebraske bill, proving most conclusive -
ly that the Missouri compromise was no com
promise at all, and that its repeal "was no
breach of faith: The Journal's account of
what the speaker said on the whiskey qu es
don is Acb, and We append it:
"Now is the time," says Mr. Robinson, "for
the Democrats to take ground on this ques
tion. Shall we now help whiskey, which has
so long helped us, or shall we basely leave the
field, and. see our - friend gutted before our
eyes? Shall we not &tend together, must we
not stand together, since none of us can stand
alone? Shall our party be sundered by the
cry of sobriety or the fanaticism of decency?
No "When my eyes shall be turned for the
last' time to behold the glass in its rounds, may
they not see my friends distressed with differ
ences and recklessly waiting, it may be, fra
ternal whiskey ? May they not.look upon a
country blasted with cultivation, cursed with
industry, and the barrel' that- holds its glory
bursted or caved In! 'But on the contrary,
may I see their banner, not defiled with those
words of delusion and folly: 'What does all
this liquor de,? . but blazoned on its ample
folds, wherever. it floats, in the town or in the
oountry, that sentiment dear to every Demo
crat, 'Whiskey and Democracy, now and for
ever, one and inseparable.' "
Tue 'num Exouus.—Late Irish Journals
nro largely occupied with detail S -of the emi
gration movement. Thousands of the natives
of the soil were gathering together their little
worldly property, and preparing to depart, ,,
either for the United States or Australia. The
Dundalk Democrat says, that "every boat that
leaves the quays carries off numbers of per.
eons from that and the adjoining counties, ori
their way to the United States,--the passage
money in most oases being paid on the Amer
ican side of the Atlantic." The Tuam Herald
notices the departure of three Inindred emi
grants, all'iFitltin a fortnight, and all destined
for the United States. The Waterford News
also 'chronicles the'departure of two steamers,
both of them :crowded with adventurers foe'
Ameriori. The Galway Packet says the emi•
gration to the United Stated is on the increase,
and that tho dread of impressment is:driving
away thousands, who Woup.not dream of em
igrating, but for fear, a tieing: Compelled to
serve in the British Navy. The editor adds:
" Before the end of the year, Treland will be
literally deserted, and the silence and deso
lation whiertiliw brood over Connemarra will .
.tto visible In the, more populous districts
the country.'
The Sligo Chronicle says that the "centln.
uanco of the rage for leaving Ireland is one of
the eitreordinary, features of the time's, find Is
wholly inexplicable,- when we consider the
present prosperous state of the country, ttn4
