That sparkle the vale below: Not for the milk-while lilies, That lean from tlie fragrant hedge, Coquetting alt day with the sunbeams, And stealing their golden edge; Not for thejvines on the upland, Where the bright red berries rest; Nor the pinks, nor the pale sweet cowslip, It seemeth to incinory'best. I ouce'liad a little brother, With eyes that were dark and deep.

In the lap of that dim old forest 'He lieth in peace asleep. JUiht as the down of the thistle. Free the winds that blow, We roved there the beautiful tuimuert, The summers of long ago; But his feet on the hills grew weary. And, one of the autumn eves, I made for my little brother A bed of the yellow leaves. Sweetly his pale arms folded My neck in a meek embrace, As the light of immortal beauty Silently covered his face; And when the arrows of sunset Lodged in the tree-tops bright, He fell, his saint-like beauty, Asleep by the gates of light." Therefore, of all the pictures That hang on Meinorj't wall, The one of the dim old forest Sccmetli the best of all.

Frequent and sudden as they have been in our own country it is important a young females shotilt possess some employment, by which they might obtain a livelihood in case they should be reduced to the necessity of supporting themselves. When families are unexpectedly reduced from aflluence to poverty, how pitifully contemptible it is to see the mother desponding or helpless, and permitting her daughters to embarrass those whom it is their duty to assist and cheer.

We copy the following sketch from late number of the Democratic Review. It is from the pen of Henry Wioff, and written with his usual graphic power, and portrays the estimation in which this country is held by the Iruc republicans of France Two American families, who were living in paris in alarmed capital, determined, only at Ihe last moment, leave for some quieter neighborhood, and on the very day dial ihc revolution broke out they took their departure, and made all haste hy railroad to reach Havre. Tliey had not got more limn nine milus from Paris when the train stopped, and they were lold by the conduclor that the bridge ahead of them was on fire, and thai proceeding further was hopeless, and dial it was equally impossible for them lo run back, for die rails behind them, had already been taken up. There was nothing else to be done than get out, and return on foot al the i i i risk of insult and outrage from an infuriated rnob, lliat had already lined both sides of tho road, to the extent of ihousands. This was a situaiion alarming enough to fill the sloulest hean with lerror, and ihe effect may be imagined in the present, where there was only one man to protect three or four ladies, with several children, lo say nothing of femes de chambers, and small parcels.

-Their fright was excessive, but escape was out of the question. Nolhing could bo done but return lo Paris, nnd run tho guanllet that awaited them. They passed along in a drizzling" rain, covered with rnud and borne down by fatigue. Shouts ind i i a i made the air resound February, 1818, becoming at the increasing agitation of llie only at ihe last around them, for the vetjy earth teemed with armed and savaga men. With shrink- ng hearts they pushed along, dreading every moment to be waylaid, robbed and Terhaps slain, when to their infinite joy hey reached Paris, and believed their ribulations over.

Hurrying through ihe Barrier, they struck down the first street hat seemed to lead in the direction of their residence, when, of a sudden to their consternation, ihey found themselves hemmed behind a. barricade, and in a moment were surrounded and seized by hundreds of desperate insurgents, disguised and armed to the teeth, who brandished ihcir weapons and ihreatened them with death. 'Ha, they shouted in furious tones, you vile aristocrats, you have endeavored escape but you are not gone yet. And ve'll take care of you now. Their situation was really fearful.

In- larned with drink and passion, these terri- men, further exasperated by the com- at in which they were engaged were ca- 3able of any excess, even to murder. The unhappy party, seeing themselves cut fffrom every resource, threw themselves their knees, and endeavored to move lieir ruthless captors by supplication and ears. They declared ihey were no arisio- rats bul republicans like themselves as a cer- nylhing but democratic communities. To confirm, in every particular, the thrilling facts I have related, I would be happy to give in full, the names of the par- lies in question, whose respectability would be a sufficient guaranlee; but they consist chiefly of ladies, I feel tain hesitation in taking such a liberty. I will merely stale that I received these particulars from ihe 'heroine of ihe flag' herself, Mrs.

What is contentment? The philosophy of life, and the principle ingredient in the cup of happiness--a commodity that is undervalued in consequence of die very low price it can be obtained for. Whal is happiness? A butterfly, that roves from flower to flower, in tho vast garden of existence, and which is eagerly pursued by multitudes in the vain hope of obtaining the prize: yet continually eludes "There's nothing," muttered he, hanging on anyhow."

There was a deep philosophy in th confession of on eminent English Judge. When he condemned a young woman to death under tho late sanguinary code of his country, for her first petty theft, she fell dead at his feet. "I seem to myself," said he, "to Jiave been pronouncing sentence not against ihe prisoner, but against the law itself." To conclude on this point: We arc not slaveholders.

I regret that, as yet, I see little reason to hope that a majority in favor of emancipation exists here. The Legislature of New Yoik, from whom, with great deference, I dissent, seems willing to accept now the extinction of the slave-trade, and waive c- mnncipation; but we shall assume the whole responsibility if we stipulate not to exercise the power hereafter, when a rna- i shall be obtained.

He entered his empty hall--anguish was gnawing at his heartstrings, and language is inadequate to express his agony as he entered his wife's a- partmcnt, and there beheld the victims of his appetite, his lovely wife and darling child. Morose and sullen, he seated himself without a word; he could not speak, he could not look upon them. The mother said to the little angel by her my child, it is time to go to that litlle babe, as was her wonl, knell by her molher's lap, and gazing wislfully into the face of her suffering parent, like a pice of chiseled statuary, siowly repeated her nightly orison; and when she had finished, the child, (but four years of age) said to her mother, 'dear ma, may I offer up one more 'Yes; yes, my sweet And she lifted up her tiny hands, closed her eyes and prayed: 'O God-! spare, oh, spare my dear prayer was wafted with electric rapidity to the throne of God--It was heard --it was heard on earth.

The response, burst from the father's lips, and his heart of stone became a heart of flesh. Wile and child were both clasped to his bosom, and in penitence, he said, "my child; you have saved your father from the grave of a drunkard. I'll sign the pledge." is highest and holiest is tinged with melancholy. The eye of genius has always a plaintive expression, and its natural language is pathos.

Only two compacts found in Diplomatic Hislory, that 1 know of, admitted cjctradi- tion of Slaves. Here is one of them. It is found in a treaty made between Alexander Cornncnus and Lcontine, Greek ISrn- perors at Constontirioplc, nnd King of Russia, in the year 902, and is in lliose words: "If a Russian slave take flight from his master, or even if he is carried awny by liny one under pie- tence of hnving been bought, his mnMer shall have the right and power to pursue and lake lum where- soever he may be found; and whosoever ah.ill prevent his master from taking him, fhall le guilty of oflendmg ihis Treaty, and shall be punished oc- This was in ihc year of Grace 902, what is called llie Dark Agfs, and llie coniracl- ing powers were despoiistns.

And here is the oilier: "No person held lo service or labor in one Sl.ilc under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall in consequence of any laws or regulnlion therein, be dischnrgod from such service or labor, but shall I be delivered up on claim of the pany to whom such service or labor is due." This is from the consiitution of the United States in 1787, and the parties were tho Republican Stales of this Union. The Laws of Nations disavow such compacts--the Lawa of Nature, writlcn on the hearts and consciences of freemen, repudiate them.

Slavery has -never obtained anywhere by express legislative but always by trampling down laws higher than any mere municipal laws -the lawolf nature a'nd of nations.

The argument seems to me merely specious and cjuite unsound. I desire to propose one or two questions in reply to it.

Ts Slavery weaker or stronger in these United States, from the exclusion of it from the North West Territory 1 The answers to these questions will setilc the whole cdhtroversy. WHAT Aitn YOU LOOKING Foul A good rebuke fo a silent, husband Not necessary here. A tmtn was angry with his wife, as was often the case, cither because she talked too much, ar contradicted him, or for some other reason; in short, he was out of with her, and resolved- not to speak to her for a long, long time.

If this be so, why do not the Representatives of the slave Stales yield the Proviso? They deny that the i a prevents ihc inlroduclion of slavery. Then I will leave nothing lo a con- Bnl in I i the argument is against ihc proposition. Is there any climate where slavery has not existed? It hns prevailed all over Europe, from sunny I a to bleak England, and is existing now, stronger than in any other land, in ice-bound Russia. But it will be replied that this is not African slavery. 1 rejoin, that it only makes the cnso the stronger, If this vigorous Saxon race of ours was reduced lo slavery while it retained the courage of semi- barbarism, in its own Northern latitude, what security docs climnte afford against llie transplantation of the more gentle, more docile, and already enslaved and debased African, to the genial climate of New Mexico and California? Sir, there is no climate uncongenial to slavery.

It is it is less productive ihnn free labor many of Iho Northern countries; but so it is less productive ihan free white labor, in oven tropical climates. Labor is in quick demand in all new countries. Slave labor is cheaper than free labor and will go first into new regions; and wherever it goes- it brings labor 'into dishonor, nnil ihcrefore free white labor avoids competition with it. Sir, I might rely on climate, if I had not been born in a Innd where slavery existed, and a land was all of it north of tho 40th parallel ciflntitudc, and if I did nofknow the struggle that it has cost and which is yet going oil, lo gel complete relief from iho institution and ils baleful consequences.
