Nor, though even now we falter With thoughts of those who died, And at our festive altar Grow silent in our pride.

A Legend of Judea The cite occupied by the Temple of Solntnon was formeriy a cultivated field, possessed in common by two brothers. One of theM was married, and had several children ; the other was unmarried ; they lived together. however, cultivating, in the greatest harmony possible, the property they had inherited from their father. The harvest Staten had arrived ; the two broth- Ors botind up their sheaves; made two equal stacks Of them, and left them on the field. During the night, the one who was unmarried was struck with an excellent thought: my brother, said he, to him self, has a wife and thildren to support ;. it is not just that my share of the harvest should be as large as his. Upon this he arose, and took from his stack several sheaves, which he added to those of his bro ther; and this he did with as much secrecy at if he had been committing an evil action, in order that his brotherly offering might not be refused. On the same night the other brother awoke, and said to his wife, " my brother lives alone, witttoiit d eem panion; he has no ono to resist him in his librirti; nor to reward him for his tails; while God has be stowed oti me II Wtfe and children; it is trot right that we should take from our common field as many sheaves as he, since We have already more then he hes—domestic happiness. if you consent, we shall, by adding secretly a certain number of our sheaves to his stack, by way of compensation, and without his knowledge, see his portion of the harvest in creased." This project was approved, and imme diately put into execution. In the morning, each of the brothers went to the field and was much surprised at seeing the stocks equal. During several successive nights, the same contrivance was repeated on each side ; for, us each kept adding to his brother's store the stacks always remained the sante. But one night having stood sentinel to dive into the cause of this miracle, they met, each bearing the sheaves mutually destined for the other: it was all thus elucidated, and they rushed into each other's arms, each grateful to hoe yen for having so good a brother. Now, says the legend, the place where so good an idea had sim ultaneously occurred to the two brothers, and with so much pertinacity, must have been acceptable to God : men blessed it, and Israel chose it, there to erect the house of the Lord l—Lantortine, Voy age to the East. A Speech by Gen. Stumm. The following is an extract front a speech of Gen. litincura, in favor of 64 40: " Mr. Speaker—When I open my eyes and look over the vast expanse of this great country—when I see bow the years of freedom has caused it to rise ire the scale of civilization, and expand on every side—when I see it growing, swelling, roaring like a spring freshet—l cannot resist the idea, sir, that the day will come when this great nation, like a young school boy, will buret its straps, and become entirely too big for its hoots. Sir, we want elbow room—the continent, the whole continent—and we will have it. Then shall the great Uncle Sam, placing his hat upon the Canada., rest his right aim upon the Oregon and California coast, his left upon the eastern seaboard, and whittle away the British power, while reposing his leg, like a freeman, upon Cape Horn!

There ere come men who appear born to good f,rtune, and other. whose destiny appears to sub ject them to eternal failure and disaster. The an- . cicnts represented Fortune as a blind goddess, be cause she distributed her gills without discrimina tion; and in modern times, the belief has been prevalent that the fortunes of a Stan were ruled chiefly by the influences of the planet under which he was born. Those superstitions, however ridic ulous, show at Least that the connexion between merit and success is not very conspicuous, yet it is not therefore the lean perpetual. To coerced in the world, is of itself a proof of merit ; of a vulgar kind indeed it may be, but a useful kind notwith standing. We grant, indeed, that those qualities of rebid which make a man succeed in life, are to a great extent subversive of gemus. Nevertheless, numerous illustrious examples might be given of men of the highest genius being as worldly-wise as duller mortals. It is the pretenders to genius, rather ' than the possessors of it, who claim the large eV eruption from those rules of prudence which regu late the conduct of ordinary mortals, and array themselves in the deformities of genius, in the Idea that they conetitute its beauties. There are some indiscretions, we believe, to which men of a vigor ous fancy and keen sensibility aro naturally heir, and for which it would be as unjust to condemn them with rigor, as it would be to blame one of the Icold blooded sone of discretion for being destitute of poetic fire. Yet every deviation front prudence I is a fault, and is not to be imitated, though it may sometimes be excused. The most important element of success Is econ omy; economy of money and economy of time.— By economy we do not mean penuriousness, Mt merely such wholesome thrift as will disincline us to spend our time or money without an adequate return either in gain or enjoyment. An economical application of time brings leisure and method, and enables us to drive our business, instead of our bu -11111006 driving us.

GENERAL AMPUDIA A newspaper just started at Matamoras, be some Americans, called the “Republic of the Rio Grande and Friend of the Peo ple," says: An amusing story is told by a Ranchero's wife of the trepidation in winch he crossed the river on the afternoon of the 9th of May—a day likely to be rememkr ed in his calender. The good woman says, that A mpudia came to her house soon after the firing commenced, at full speed, and begged her husband like a hound to take him over the river, before these shout ing devils, the Americans, could over. take hint.

One hundred and forty six teems have crotsed the river at this place since our last week's report by the troops, and a large number have been ferried over at Fort Madison.
