Ia gazing over Nature's widespread plsn, From the mean insect to its master, man, From the low flower that bends its humble head, To the proud oak that stands with arms out-spread, From the young sparrow as it mounts on high, To the old EagU with the flashing eye, From Use small stream with crest of sliming foam. To tho broad ocean, the brave sailor's home. And from the eastern cradle of the sun, E'en to its death-bed when the day is done,— All things in Nature, ever strive to rise, Till each to end its new found glory dies. T** flower just bursting from the velvet bud, The stream that widens to a swelling flood. The playful cloud, the sun's bright ray adorns. Breaks in new beauty to a thousand forms. The child, whose hnppy laugh and face upturned, Heralds the mastery of a task new-learned, All things to man this well known lesson teach, That all are striving some great good to reach, Vbn that attained, fresh beauties onward rise, Like clouds piled upon clouds in summer skies. But the fair flower that hastes its glory on, Ere the dows fall, lies withered, faded, gone , And the yonug sparrow, urged to upward soar, With » few summer days, his life is o er, The stream that hurries on vwili eager force, Loses in ocean depths its secret sunn-*-, So all things with their envied glory on, Struggle awhile with life, and then are gone. And thus with man The all immortal BOU! Is aver pressing to some future goal, Is ever reaching for some tew made prize. That hangs but just before his longing ryes. The mind is never stilled with low desire, But ever haunted by ambition's fire. Strains avery nerve to quaff his eager fill, Drinks to the bottom, but is thirsty still, A seen* of toil, and misery and strife, A flickering florae* man s uncertain life. And, reacbisijl still for some expected fame. Fate drops Ae curtain, Death puts out the flame. But trace mid stars the glorious path on high. That leads to lands far, fur beyond the sky. Though earthly forms may mingle with the dead. This heavenly path the ransomed soul will tread, Mountings on seraph wings to joys unknown. Will swell the anthem at the Savior's throne. Glories on glories wait the humble saint, Soeh a* no tongue can sing, or artist paint, And vain imaginings can uever bring Th«glories of that never-ending spring. Though bright the visions that our thoughts may a**. How brighter still, the fair reality— Bow high in happiness the jsoul may rise, la not a prospect for our mortal eyes. Bnt this we know, through all eternity ,W< still shall sail o'er glory's boundless sea.

Courier, thus describes a scene on this beauti ful sheet of watfcr: \After a few minutes' stop at Lodi Land m g the bout takes a diagonal course for tho landings on the west side of the lake, and in its crossing you arc furnished with some of the finest views of the tour. Long Poin t and Lo di Point stretch far into the lake apparently in the north view, and tho high hills around the head of jthe lake riso up in majesty, while the beautiful rising ground stretches up from the east and west shores, varied with wood nnd field, and here and there a church spire tower ing above the groves. As you are half across, look back to the points o f land before reforred to, and you will see as perfect a mirage as ever delighted the curious traveler, or ever de luded the thirsty Bedouin in the desert of Sa hara or Arabia . A pieeo of ground is seen suspended m the air over the bosom o f the lake, stretching out unsupported, from the shore The woods on the extremity o f Lon g Point, are half submerged with water, and from tho waves their tops tower into the sky. *l*Ii*s lake stretches into tho land, and you see land and trees above and below it. From The Fugitive Slave Law. A SCENE IX BOSTON A colored girl, eighteen years of ago, a few years ago \escaped from Slavery at the Sout h Through sccnta o f adventure and peril, almost more strange than fiction oan create, she found her way to Boston. She obtained emplov- ment, secured friends, and became a consistent member of the Methodist church. She lie eame interested m a \ery worthy young man of lier own compltXIOII, who was a member of the same church. They Here soon mar ried. Their home, though humble , \\;is the abode of piety and contentment. Industrious, temperate, and frugal, all their wants were sup plied Seven years passed away. They had two little boys, one six, and th e other four years of age. Those children, tho sons of a free falher, but of a mother who li.id been a slave, by the I.ms of our S >ulheni States, were doomed to their mother's fate, '1 hese Boston boys, beneath the shadow o f Fanned Hall, iliti sons of a free cilueii of Boston , and educated in the Boston free schools, were, b\ the compromises of the Constitution, admitted I sol,,e I )OI,,Ls of view,you ma y imagine.or seem to be slaves, the propert\ of a South Carohm- lo RPe the ff roves 0,1 <me shorc stretching out an planter.

The Fugitive Slave Law was enacted It revived the hopes o f the slave-owners. A young, healthy, energetic mother, vv ith two fine- bins, was a rich prize. She would mak e an excellent breeder Good men bega n to say, \We must enforce this law , it is on e of the compromises of the Constitution.\ Christian ministers began to preach, \the voice o f law is the voice of God. Ther e is no highe r rule of duty We must send back the fugitive and her childi'< n, even though we tak e our sister from the sacramental table of ou r common Saviour.\ Th e poor woman was panic stricken Her friends gathered around her ami trembled for lier. Her husband was absent from home, a seaman on board one o f our Liverpool pack ets. She was afraid to go out of doors, lest some one from the South should see her, and recognize her.

If it be about the middle of the day, with a south wind, we may 6eo the effect upon tho lake's surface of the wind changing from soutli to north. Th e large swell in the distance, is fretted over with counter ripples, which does not a t first seem to disturb tike present direction o f tho waves; but it increases upon it until the swells subside, and the ripples increase in size and spread over the whole surface of I h e water.\ Dream-Life iu the Sick Room. Origin of the Maine Liquor Law. The following account of the origin o f this law, is from a speech of Hawkins, the celebra ted temperance lecturer, of Baltimor e :— Ho said that at a Washingtonia n meeting, in PorjJBnd, theiit was a continued drunkard, who was impoverished and bowed to the dust by drinking, came up to sign th e pledge, fol lowed bv his miserable vvite. So soon as lie signed the pledge, she burst into tears, and followed linn bai k t o her seat. After this, th~e drunkard (Sweet was Ins iiaine) went to work and picked up a piece of furniture here, and another there, and supplied his house with necessaries and comforts—then lie bought lnm a little cottage, uud lived for seven years happily w ith his little family.
