POETRY.
UTY EVERY 'WHERE.
BY JAXEB , A. BEVERIDGE.
There's beauty in the da'shing wave,
When „kite storm is raging high—
There's beauty in the quiet stream
As it gently glideth by.
There's beauty in the cloudless night
When stars are shining clear, •
Or darkness shuts them from the sight—
Theie's beauty every where.
There's-beauty when the morning dawns
And gives to earth her light,
And when the finding sun proclaims 'r
The slow approach of night.
There's beauty in the verdant lawn
When buds theirbiushes wear,
And when the ice-king holds his court—%
There's beauty every where:
There's beatify when the Christian kneels,
In humble prayer to heaven—
When o'er his soul hope sweetly steals,
And tells of sins forgiven.
'There's beauty in the merry sounds
That float upon the air,
Whiin music bilathpira - happy strain—
There's beautrfvery)vhere.

AN INFANT ONTS IROTILEIVS BREAST
It lay upon its motheicZreast, adhing
Bright as a dew drop when it first descends;
Or as the plumage of an angel's wing,
Where every tint of rainbow-beauty blends
It had soft violet eyes, that 'neath each - lid,
Half closed upon them: like bright water , : vhone •
While its small dimpled hands were slyly hid
do the warns bosom that it nestled on.
There was a beam in that young mother's eye,
Lit by:the feelings that she could not speak,
As from her lips a plaintive lullaby; .
Stirred the bright tresses on her infant's cheek,
While now and then with melting Heart she press'd
Soft kisses o'er its red and smiling lips—
Lips sweet as rose buds in fresh beauty dressed, •
E'er the young murmuring bee their honey sips.
It was a fragrant eve, the sky was full
01 burning stars, that, tremulously clear;
Shone on the lovely ones, while the low lull
Of gurgling,waters fell upon the ear;
And the new, moon, like a pureshelLof pearl,
Enriched by the blue wave of the deep
Lay 'mid the fleecy clouds that loVe'to curl ,
Around the stars, when they their vigils keep.
My heart grew soßer as d gazed upon
That youthful mother; as she soothed to rest,
With a low song, her loved and cherished one, '
That bud of promise on her youthful lneast ;
For 'tis a sight that angel ones above
May lean to gaze . upon, from their bowers of bliss,
When Innocence. upon the breast of Lea'
Is cradled, in a sinful world like this,
MISCELLANEOUS.
THE RICH MERCHANT
DI MRS: JANE WEAVER
It was night ; the streets were nearly de.
Sorted, the more especially as it, was snow
ing fast. A single traveller, however, might
have been seen wrapped in a thick over
coat, urging his ,way against the tempest,
by the light of dim.lamps, Suddenly, as ho
passed
.a„ruinous tenement, thei figure of a
girl started up beforehirn..
"Please sir," she said, "if it's only a pen—
ny, mother is sick, and we have had no
thing to eat to-day." .
The first impulse of the moment was.to
- _go - on - olursecond:itia: slop. _ Pia° was
. thin and - pale, and her garments scanty.--
e ivas a man of - good. impulses, so he put
his hand towards his pocket, intending to
forgotten that his overcoat was buttoned up
tightly over hiapoeket. •
GETTYSBURG; PA., FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1845.
LiWh'at kept you so-long,—dear- papa ?"
Ake said, "if I had known Where you were
I would-have-bent •the carriage.
,You nev
er slay so long at the office."
"No my love, I was pt my lawyer's, busy,
very busy, and all fol. you," and ho patted
herkindly on the cheek. "But now, Mag
ay, can't NOU give mo some supper 7"
The- daughter rang the bell, and ordered
the supper to be served. It was just such
an one as an epicure would delight in, just
the supper for a traveller oh a night like
that: •
"Pa," said. tlie - daughter, when it was fin
ished. '•1 hope you are in a good humor,
for I have a favor to ask of you," and she
threw her arms around his neck, and, look
ing up in his face with that winning smile
and those beautiful dark eyes of hers, "I
wish to give a ball on my birth day, my
eighteenth birth-day. It will cost, oh l a
sight of money ; but you are a kind, good
papa, and I know you have been.sincessful
or you would not have been at your . law•
yer's."
"Yes, my daughter," he said, fondly kis
sing her, "the cotton speculation has turned
out well. I sold all I had of the article
this afternoon, received the money, and
took it to_my_lawyer's, telling him to invest
it in real estato. I think I shall give up
the business."
''ol do, do, papa. But you will give me
Ibis ball, won't you ?"
"You little teaser," said the father, but
he spoke smilingly ; and, putting his hand
into his pocket-book, he'took out a note of
five hundred dollars and Vaced it in his
child's hand.
"Take this; if it is not enough you must
have another:l suppose. But don't trouble
me any. more abmit it."
The next morning broke clear, but the
snow. was a foot deep, •and lily *here and
Otero in high drifts, blocking up the door
way: At ten o'clock the rich merchant
was on his way to the counting room. fie
turned down the same street up which he
had come the previous evening. - A crowd
had gathered round the open cellar door of
a ruined tenement. The merchant paused
to inquire what watt the matter.'
"A.woman, sir, hai been found dead bv
low there," said one of the spectittors : "site
starved to death, it is said. They have.
sent for a Coroner. tier daughter hoe just
come back. after:being out all night.. Lbe
hove she was begging. That is her moan
ing."
t.g.4.11!" said the merchant ; and _ n pnng
went through hi 3 heart like an ice-bolt, for
he remembered having denied a petitioner
the night before. A girl covered •over an
emaciated corps in one corner of the damp
apartment. It was the same girl he had
leered it would prove. The merchant was
horror struck.
• "My poor child," he said, laying his hand
on her shoulder,. "you must be cared for :
God - forgive me for denying you last night.
Here, take this :" and he put the bill into
her hand;
The girl looked up and gazed vacantly at
him; then bile put• back the proffered nmo•
nay.
"It. will do me no , good now," dig said,
"mother is dead," and the,burst into hyster
ic tears.
The merchant at that moment would
hare given .half his fortune to recall her to
life. . _
The lesson thus learned ho novor forgot.
The merchant personally saw that a decent
burial was provided for the mother, and af
terwards took the girl into his house, edu
cated her for a high station in society, and
on her marriage, presented her with a pro
per Bowery. Ho lived to hear children lisp
their gratitude. •

ItYthat beautiful part of Germany which
borders on the Itbine there is a noble CEO.
tle, Which, as you travel on (Ito western
bank of the river, you may see lifting its an.
ciont towers on the opposite side, above the
grovt• of trees about as old as itself.
AbOut forty years ago, there lived in that
castle" a noble gentleman; whom we shall
call Baron lie had ono only son,
who was not only n comfort to his father,
but a blessing to all who lived on his•
er's land.' • -
•
It happened on a certain occasion that
this -young man being from home, there
carne a French gentleman to see the castle,
who began to talk of his Heavenly Father
in terms that chilled the old man's., blood;
on which, the Baron reproved him, saying:
"Are you not 4fraidi of offending God, who
reigns above, by speaking in Suck a man.
nor 1". The gentleman said he knew noth
ing about God, for he had never seen him.
The Baron this limo did not notice what
the gentleman said, but the next morning
took him about his castle-grounds, and took
occasion first to show him a very beautiful
pictiare - that hung
on the wall. .Tho gen
tleman admired the picture yely . much, and
said, "Whoever drew this picture' knows
very" well how to use the pencil-!'
"My son, drew .the - picture,'.' said the
Baron,.
"Then your son is a clever man," replied
the-gentleman.
The Baron then went with his visitor in
to the garden, and showed him many . beau-,
tiful flowers and plantations of forest trees.
"Who has the ordering of this garden ?"
asked the gentleman.
? ieplied the-Baron ; "he knows•
every plant, I may say from the cedar of
Lebanon to the hyssop on the wall."
"Indeed," said the gentleman, "I shall
think very highly of him-soon."
The'Baron then took him into the village
Quit showed him a small neat cottrige,.where
his son . h ad establibbed a school, and where
he caused all young children who linClost
their parents to be received and nourished
at his own expense. The children in, the
house lobbed i36 - iiinoteht and eo lintp3;, - Ilitit
the gentleman was very' much pleased, and
when he - returned to the castle ho--said to
the Baron, "What a happy man you are to
have so "nod a son !"
'uo cu. lc w so goor a
son'?"
"Because I have seen his tvotks, and
know . that ho must be good and clever, if
lie has done all that you have showed Me."
"But you have not seen him."
"No, but I.know him very well, liecause
I judge of him by hts works."
"True," repliedther"Baron, "and in this
way I judge of the character of our hey
only Father.- 'I know by his works, that
he is a being of infinite wisdom, and power,
and goodness."
- The Frenchman felt the force of the re
proof, and was cuminl not to offend the
good Baron any tnoro by his remarks.
REPOSING IDI flrihE.— The tranquility of
n mind gradually reposing in,, the dearest
hopes of a better world, is an enjoyment that
cannot be purchased at too dear crate. it
is not easy sufficiently to value the peaceful
,close ore buss life, provided• that 'repose is
,founded on the right views of Christian
hopes, looking beyond the grave ; the mist
of doubt and pefplexitieb dissipated in the
meridian splendor of/the gospel truth ; the
storms of hie softening into silence ; the de
hriumorpleasure and the dreams of diestpa-
Jion fled ; and the freed mind resigned to
the dictates of reason ; the wound of con
science healed by the balm oreiernal love ;
the beset . lacerated by the loss of those once
so dear to us, patiently waiting in full expec
tation of re-union never more to be broken;
every angry passion hushed into peace; the
evils of life' sunk intn-resignation to the Di
vine will • the fervent: desire of the renova
ed-heart approathing - ta the verge of nev
er-eiiding enjoyinents,;and the whole soul
reposing on the - bosom of a Saviors love'.
We have on previous occasions alluded to a!
wonderful child who had astonished so many per-
sons, who have met him nt the residence of his;
father, in Vermont. Rev. Geo. Dennison, former-i

and now a resident of Newark, Ohio, has publish
ed an account of an interview, -- which he had, I
while on a• late visit to Royston, jn the forme:
State—preienting even - more than a confirmation';
of the wonderful powers of the child. We 'copy,
a paragraph or two of Mr. Dennison's account:
i"fhis• child's. name is T. 11. Saffordjr.
Ho is now nine years and six months of
age, of small.stature and paled countenance
—his little arms not much larger than my
two fingers. He is of nobte carriage, frank
and yet- not forward. His eye is his most
remarkable feature, being very large and
very bright, end when excited it rolls in its

About days have already been spent by
an adult in copying in a Mir hand the 'al
most unintelligible writing of his tiny fin

of the eclipse which ho himself had made
and subiequently calculated, when he him
self came in. I told him of the: blind stu
dent in Kenyon College, who was studying
the. Differential and Integral Calculus. lie

think ho could have done that without sight.

I 'Mr. Dennison then goes onto given great
many examples of his wonderful combina
tions of mathematical questions—and slates
that An all cases his "calculations 'entirely
outstripped the capability of his pencil-to
record them." He adds—"l believe him
to surpass any thing of the kind on record_ in
the hisiory,of man, and to open a door by .
which we are permitted fora time to see
