The glorious sun had risen
In majesty and might;
The earth was robed in beauty,
The heavens in glowing light.
A breezy, bounding gladness
Seemed floating everywhere,
Filling with health and healing
The balmy summer air.
When, like a false note, jarring
The softest music came
A strain of deepest sorrow,
Ot wild reproach and blame,
The voice of At, EMIENY
Wept over days gone by,
Ere sable smoke enshrouded
Her beauty from the she
"Fur now alas!" she murmured,
"I wonder on in gloom ,
No more along my borders
The wild sweet flow'rets bloom ;
No niece the living verdure
l - psprings, where I appear ;
No more the Indian maiden's
111hl chanting voice I hear.
The fish that gaily sported
Within my crystal wave,
That loved use like a mother,
Have found my arms a grave;
The birds that fluttered o'er toe,
Whose music charmed mine car,
Have sought, on frighted pinions,
A purer atmosphere.
"The he that lovod to linger
Around Illy flowers are gone—
And iilently and sadly
I wonder on alone,
Waiting the sun's lost glances—
The glot y diat of yore
Made bright my waves with beauty,
Hut now are Mine no more !
My fairest and my first, 14—
When, front the wild black mountain,
A flash of light I burst,
The green grass freshen' , l around me
Thu flowers wore all their grace—
The, sun himslef seemed brighter
From gazing on my face!
"lint now, all make enshrouded—
Wrapt in a living tomb—
iVailing my vanished beauty,
I wonder on in gloom."
She ceas'd; and, sadly sighing,
The mournful mush; fell
Upon the startled broom,
Like dying Hope's farewell.
A mild and thoughtful pout,
Who roamed her banks along,
And heard with tender pity
The melancholy song—
Said, softly, "Cease thy planting,
Oh, discontented stream I
v.t soon upon thy darkness.
A briOtter light shall beam
"A purer glory even
Than that which gilds thy ware,.
Where still it leaps in gladness
From the mountain's cave ; .
Where still it scatters verdure
Many a weary mile,
Bidding snrronnding, nature
With health and beauty smile.
'Tho' the cloud resting on thee
May never puss away,
Yet shall it he illutnitie4
By Poesy's bright lay
Into a crown of honor—
And thou shalt glide along,
Thy shame become thy glory
Thy sorrow change to song I"

How to Rule a Husband.
I never undertook but once to set at
naught the authority of my wife. You
know her way—cool, quiet, but determin
As ever grew. Just alter we were married
and all was going on nice and cozy, she
got me in the habit of doing all the churn
ing. She never nsked me to 4o it, you
know, but then she—why It was done in
this way; She finished breakfast before
me, one morningr and slipped away from
the table; she filled the churn with cream
and set it just where I couldn't help see
ing what was wanted. So I took hold,
regularly enough, and churned till the
butter came—she didn't thank me, but
looked so nice and sweet about it, that I
felt well paid, Well when the next chnrn
ing day came along she did the same thing,
and I followed suit and fetched the butter.
Again, and it was done just so, and I was
in for it every time, Not a word was said
you know, of course.
' Well, by and by, this became very irk
some. I wanted she should just ask me,
but she never did, and I couldn't say any
thing about it, so on we went. At last I
m.tde a resolve that I wouill bat churn an
other time unless she asked me. Churn.
mg day came, and when my , .breakfast— I
she always got a nice breaefast—when that I
was swallowed, there stood the churn. I I
got up, and standing a few moments, just
to give her a chance, put on my bat and
walked outdoors. I stopped in the yard
to give her a chance to call me, but not a
word she said, and so with a palpitating
heart I moved or.. I went down town, up
town, and my foot was as restless as Noah's
dove; I felt as if I had done a wrong—l
didn't exactly feel how—but there was an
indescribable sensation of guilt resting up
on me all the forenoon; it seemed as if din
ner time never would come, and as for go
ing home one minute before, I would ns
soon cut my ears oft. So I went fretting
and moping around town till dinner time
cattle.
Home I went, feeling very much as a
criminal must when the jury is haviag in
their hands his destiny—life or death. I
couldn't make up my mind how she would
meet me, but some kind of a storm I ex
pected. Will you believe it the never
greeted me with a sweeter smile, never had
a better dinner for me than on that day ;
but there was the churn just where I left
it ! Not a word was paused. I felt con
foundedly cut, and every mouthful of that
dinner seemed us if it wonld choke me.—
She didn't pay any regard to it, however,
but went on as if nothing had happened.
Before dinner was over, 1 bad again re
solved, and shoving back my chair, I
marched up to the churn, and 'went at it
in the old way. Splash, drip, rattle : drip,
splash rattle—l kept it up. As if in spite
the butter never was so long corning. I
supposed the cream stand'ng so long had
got warm, so I redoubled my efforts. Ob
stinate matter—The afternoon wore awa y
while I was churning. I paused at last
from real exhaustion, when she spoke for
the first time:
, 'Corns, Tom, my dear, yotilak_rauled
~,4 4 .„6,,......r....q u u0•.0ntreYF0a&fr is ro
only for fun you are doing it."
I knew how it was in a flash. She had
brought the butter in the forenoon, and
left the churn standing with the butter
milk in for me to exercise with. I never
set myself up in household matters after
that.
Constant change, the law of Nature,
reigns at Niagara. Years ago, our rea.
tiers will remember, Table Rock yielded
to time, and successive portions of it have
fallen. On a visit to the Falls, a day or
two since, we observed that another chang
has occurred, meriting at least a passing
notice. Every sight-seer must recollect
the path which, commencing at the brink
of the ravine on the Canada side, almost
apposite Prospect House, leaas beneath
Table Rock. anti which ;hoc. ..he desired
to go "under the sheet of falling water"
used to traverse in their waterproof habil
iments. It led to Termination Point, as
spot a long distance under the cateract
was called; and the adventurer who dared
air and flood to reach it, blinded by spray
deafened by the terrible roar which the
beating of millions of tons of water on the
rocks below produces, used to receive a
of his having accomplished the feat. The
oilskins are yet in requisition, the guides
yet demand and receive their fees, and the
certificates are yet given. Termination
Point, too, may yet exist, but no mortal
being oan visa it. It never could be seen
from the cavernous tnnnel—one side rock,
the other water, and the floor a compost
' Lion of both—which led thither. And the
path to it is now cut off. One can still
walk about a yard under the cataract, but
no further foothold is afforded, and anoth
er step would lead one to a intimate ac
quaintance with all the mysteries which
it is here forbidden us to know. Ere
long, doubtless, now that the stratum of
soft rock has fallen ; the upper mass will
fall, and then another step will be taken
in the slow course in which Niagara has
eaten its own way back from Quecnston,
and Is—if geologists say true--to wear
itself away somewhere above Chippewa.

NOW MURPHY O'NERN WENT HUN
TING,
BY ERGO.
Some years ago before Missouri had be.
come a state, I started with a party of
Emigrants for the western part of the ter
ritory. On our ,vs we [net with ninny
adventures, one which I will relate.
A:nong the emigrants in the train was
ono Murphy O'K ern, a raw Irishman
and about a shade greener than the green
est "native" that ever yet come over.
Now Murphy had never been out be
fore, and had about as correct account of
hunting, as Demosthenes would have had.
However, Murphy was determined to go,
so loadening his gun, and mounting an old
I piece of fame work which might once have
been a horse, he started off with the rest.
The hunters did not return till noon. Not
seeing Murphy I enquired where he was.
"Murphy," said the one I asked, "why
he turned back not an hour after we star
ted, didn't come to camp
'No, but what induced him to turn back.
'He complained of a pain in his heart,
but I guess he was afraid.'
'This must be 'looked to , he may he
lost. After inquiring in every direction,
and not hearing of Murphy, a party set
out to hunt him up. In about an hour
they returned bringing Murphy with them
but in a rather worse condition then when
he started out. His horse was missing,
and he had neither hat nor boots. 'l'hsy
found him in a situation both laughable and
dargerons; but I will give you the story
as he himself told it.
'Ye sec, when I wus either startin' fur
the camp, I dhrove along at a brisk like,
till 1 cum to the Pr ; well, I was ridin'
along, thinkin' to mysell if I could spy a
bear to shoot at, when I heard a growling
jist behinderrnost or me, and whin I looked
around, shun: there was a pack of wolves
after me full spade, howlin atid scratchin'.
like so many dtvils jist out of purgatory i t
So I leveled me zun and fir.? Aso
'ono — din 1 shoot, so I give me horse a crack
an away we whit like a locomotif But
either a while they gain on me antAigiu
to be jumpin' up at my heels, so I jist
grabbed hold ov a tree I wos egoing under,
and away the horse whit, and the wolves
afther him lavin me hangin on the tree.—
Afther while, one ov the bloody (this was
Murphy's favorite word) bloody divils cat
ched the horse by the throat, an' I hadn't
time to give a blink o' me oyo whin theyd
pulled every bit of flesh off the bones.
'When they finished the horse the whole
, pack ov em cum and squatted down under
r me, winkin' at me just as much as to say:'
'Now, Murphy O'Kern list cum 'down
out o' there.'
'Butt I held on and on, but the bloody
things set there waitin' for me to drop.—
'So,' says I, will ye niver go home 1' but
one of them he guy a Jape catched me
by the hale of me boot, an' giv it a twist
an' off it cum, jist then the other grabbed
the other boot, and oft It coin too. Then
sez I, `shure if ye tree want aitewations an
boot jacks, it's meself 'el giv ye recom
mendations."
'After they'd dun bitin' at me boots they
commenced divirtin' themselves jumpin'
at tne heels, I up wid me legs, and threw
them over the limb oi the tree.
'But by sint Pathrick the bloody divas
then tried to grab off the seat of me bree
ches, and ono ov om—bad luck to him—
jumpt up and fastened his teethin the flesh
and hung there t hryir' to get a bite. So I
jist hung on with one hand and put the oth.
er in me pocket and hauled out me knife
an' opened it wid me teeth and jist drew it
across the bloody divil's throat, will ye let
go now, sez I an' allure it would dose your
heart good to see mid what pleasure he did
what 1 axed bun to. Jist thin the urn uv
the tree giv way, and sez 1 to meself now
say yer prayers Murphy, for ye will be
eaten up by them bloody divils widout
cookin', But up cum the men and away
scattered the divils, an' =self let go and
dropped on the ground like a stun.
13st tt iver ye catch Murphy O'Kern
goin' huntin' nth, ye may beat his head
off wid a shillaleh.

following, as one of the pleasing incidents
attendant upon Mr. Douglas' visit to that
city :
'Are you a Democrat I' said Mr. Dou
glas to a bright lad, son of one of citizens.
'No sir,' replied the youth.
'Wouldn't you vote for me if you were
old enough,' continued the Senator.'
'No, air.'
'Why not, my hula lad.'
"Because, air, my father has sought me
