Oh! how I love those eyea of blue. Those cherry lip, they look no sweet, Like something nice that's good to eat; Or, like rose-buds tipped with dew , They match so sweet those eyos of blue. A handsome form with matchless grace, Elastic step, angellic face; With pretty hair and forehead high, That shows so well that aweet blue eye. The lovely cheek most have its share, Rose and lily are blended there; Those colors form so fine a hue, That suits so well those eyes of blue. Now Dear Maria, believe me true, I'll love ever only yon; Happy I'd be, if thou wert nigh, To gaze upon that sweet blue eye. Will yon, dearest, but name the time, When 1 may call you only mine; And let the days be very few, Till I shall claim those eyes of blue. September, 1849. DANIEL. ill i s c 1 1 1 a n t a u a , From the Olive Branch. The Father and Daughter. " Some feelings are to morti.ls given. With less of earth in them than heaven; And if there be a human tear From passion's dross refined and clear, A tear so limpid and so meek, It would not stain an angel's cheek, 'Tis that which pious fathers shed Upon a duteous daughter's head." Ltdr of the Lake. When Ellen Douglas' skiff landed in the bay where her father awaited her, and when the hero pressed his darling to his breast, such were the tears which steeped her tresses. In these lines Scott has embalmed the Douglas' love for his daugh ter, and has given us a picture radiant with beauty, of that holiest of all feelings, the love between pa rent and child. Now the days of chivalry and romantic adven ture are passed. No powerful king in disguise fol lows the deer through our woods. No lovely mai den fairer than 'Nymph, Naid, Grace,' guides her light skin across the lake, nor brings to her teet the royal lover. Tiie proud chieftain Rhoderick Dhu, no longer grapples in fierce jealousy with his equa in bravery, and his victor in love, the youthful Mal come Graeme. . Nor may we hear the plaintive notes of old Allan's harp, or see the venerable form of the old harper, standing by the margin of the lake. These are to us, (thanks to the immortal bard !) bn'ght, glowing, images of beauty, of love, of chival ry, which our imagination clothes with reality, and which we make a part of our soul's picture gallery. But only as we enter this gallery, which we have filled with the master pieces of Shakspeare and of Scott, can our love for the wild romance of the days of chivalry be gratified. lhis is true in regard to the outward circumstan ces of life, in this age and countiy. Lowering cas tles, overlooking vine-clad fields knights in com plete armor, ready to risk life and limb for one bright glance of their lady's eye, tilts and tourna ments, these belong not to our age or land, nor do wc need then. There is a chivalry which needs no clashing of spears. There is a romance, a hero ism, which has not passed away with the days of knighthood. It is the romance of the heart, the heroism of the affections, higher and nobler far than that of outward words and deeds. This heroism belongs to our age, for it is not a fleeting, evannes cent principle, crumbling to ruin, beneath the touch of time. Lasting as the human race, enduring as its affections, it will only cease when the heart of humanity ceases to beat, and its pulse forgets to throb. The noblest instance of this heroism is the un selfish love which binds a father to a child. We need not search the 'Lady of the Lake,' for a hero or a heroine, in this drama. Daily life will afford us numerous instances of what we seek. Close at hand in that cottage by the road-side, in that narrow room, in one of our city's narrowest lanes, we may find many an Ellen, ready to sacrifice the best years of life, the brightest hopes of youth, for an aged or in firm parent 'Toiling and sorrowing, onward thro' life they go;' but yet rejoicing that youth and health still continue to them that vigor, without which the loved object of their cares must suffer from want Where shall we turn, where look, without find ing instances of a father's love ? In the workshop of the mechanic, in the store of the tradesman, in the clergyman's study, in the lawyer's office, we may find it never varying, never failing, but, like God's sunshine, pervading the heart of every man whom a little child calls 'father.' Ambition is strong it has tempted many into ruin. Avarice is strong it has wrecked the happiness of many a soul. But love a Father's love, more mighty than the love of fame, or gold, who shall measure the strength of its bands? Who shall .fathom its wondrous depths? How to teach Children. The following, from a speech of Rev. Charles Brooks, of Boston accords precisely with our notions of what constit utes the true mode of teaching the young; "If you find an error in the child's mind, follow it up till he is rid of it If a word is spelled wrong, be sure that the class is right bo fore it is dismissed. Repeat and fix attention on the exact error, till it can never be commited again. One clear and distinct idea is worth a world of misty ones. Time is of no consequence in comparison with the object Give the child full possesion of one clear, distinct truth and it becomes to him a centre of light In all your teaching no matter what time it takes never leave your pupil till you know he has m his mind your exact thought." We understand that C. Taylor, jr., son of ChnMnpher Talor, forinprlv of lhis countv, has jnst re turned from Cxliforni;. with $40,000 in gold!

Dayton Jour, A Mother's Influence. The details of the following narratives, are facts given almost in the words of a )Toung man who was the subject thereof, and it conveys a lesson fraught with much instruction, especially to those mothers whose influence ss not favorable to the cause of to tal abstinence: 'I am,' said J. B., 'twenty-three years of age, and in me you see the miserable wreck of a man, whose evil destiny was caused by a mother's ill-directed influence, and mistaken views of etiquette ; nay, she was the blind slave of a pernicious fashion. When I was 18 years of age, I was a young man of prom ise ; my education was liberal, and my advantages had not been neglected. I was a close and atten tive student I had entered College to com plete my studies, which were pursued with special reference to the ministry. At the age of sixteen I joined the 'Young Men's Total Abstinence Society,' which had recently been formed in the town of my residence ; and for three years, 1 scrupulously ob served its pledge. In my nineteenth year, during the summer recess, I visited the place ol my na tivity, and high and cheering were my anticipated joys, as I neared the home of my bovhood. But how deeply were those hopes blasted. I was wel corned home with every demonstration of affection, and for a few da3Ts my happiness was unbroken. I visited old friends, and old scenes, and old walks. I strolled through the woods in which my boyish feet had often wandered. I sat once again in the old school house, and looked with almost revervnee upon the village church, but my bliss was of short duration. I lound that wine was almost every where proffered to friends, and I alwavs refused the offered glass, till in a moment of evil, my mother pressed me to throw away my looJish scruples, and to drink wine with my 'outhful friends; -nay, my mother's hand filled and presented me with the first glass o any intoxicating drink. JNow look at me! look at me ! Twenty-three years old, and all my prospects blasted my education thrown away, my manhood dishonored, and me, a miserable wreck ; a poor drunken sot Yes, I am a drunkard, and my mother made me what I am. My mother ! yes, she caused me to break my pledge she urged me to drink she made me what I am, a poor mis erable drunkard. Had she not put the wine glass to my lips ; had she not bandied me with her jokes, and rallied me with her sarcasms, I should now have been a sober, respectable and useful man.' Mother! where is your influence, and what di rection is it taking? Sister, are you pledged to discountenance all the causes and practices of intemperance? Mothers Sisters, shall your sons, your brothers die the drunkard's death, and in the last great day charge their destruction to your ac count? Great are your responsibilities, for great indeed is your influence for good or evil. Diadem. Austrian Brutality. We have the most revolting accounts of the hor rible barbarrities practiced by the Austrians upon the Hungarians who fall into their hands. The proclamation of the Austrian commanders, pub lished in ihe foreign news will give the reader an idea of the brutality of the warfare. The N. Y. Herald gives the following instances of enormity: 'Lovely women of rank, fortune, education, and accomplishments, have been stripped, and their ten der persons exposed to, and excoriated with the lash, by the rulianly soldiery, for their fidelity and I patriotism. 1 es, and some have been shot! Soon auer me commencement ot me campaign, a Hun garian officer was taken prisoner, tried by court martial, and condemned to be executed at the end of twenty-four hours. Me was betrothed to a young lady, the flower of her sex in beauty, and every thing else that constitutes female excellence. She made her way to his cell; she prevailed upon him to exchange clothes with her, to pass the centries and escape. He succeeded, and reached his own camp in safety. At the period allotted for his ex ecution, he was missing, and in his stead was his beautiful and devoted betrothed. Did her heroism did her romantic conduct soften the heart of the Austrian General Haynau? A file of soldiers was ordered out she whs tied to a post her eyes were bandaged and she was brutally and inhu manly shot! 1 Pension's. No little misunderstanding and confusion has arisen, in consequence of the some what indefinite terms m which is conveyed the act of Congress, passed at its last session, granting five years half pay to certain widows and orphans, of officer, musicians and privates, both regular and volunters. It is presumed that this extension of the pension s-stem had reference only to the sol diers engaged in the late war with Mexico, in deed the Commissioner of Pensions, interrogated on the subject has so decided. An idea, howev er, has very generally obtained, among interested parties, claimants tor pensions, accruing from pre vious wars, or in a limited sense, granted by law to all soldiers dying of wounds, in the military ser vice of the U. States, prior to the passage of the act (of Februarv, 1849.) aforementioned. It should, then, be distinctly understood that the act of February is but an amendment to the law of July 21st, 1848, and has reference exclusively to the widows and children of those officers and sol diers, who served during the late war with Mexi co. jE3gf"ScnooLS in Virginia. A project to estab lish free schools in Albermarle county, Va. hasbeen voted down by the people, by a large majority. A writer in the Richmond Republican hopes the subject will never be brought forward again, to "dis turb our harmony and socivil peace." Any thing free seems greatty to disturb our republican neigh bors of the ancient Dominion, and the only won der is that thej- do not call for the enactment of a special law to restrain the elements from "gam boling in their mild freedom of nature." Com. Adv. The Overflow of Red River. Extract of a letter to the Little Rock Democrat from aii intelli gent mercantile house on Red River, dated, "Fclton, Aug. 23, 2849. Our l iver has nt length fallen, and is rapidly getting as it usually is at this season of the year very low. The injury done to the planters above the raft, by the overflow, is immense. The injury of the cotton crop alone, we think, (parti cularly if prices should rule high as many believe) is l,000,000j Yet our planters, generally, will be able to bear their losses." THE IiOVERS. A Tale of the Nineteenth Century. FOUNDED ON FACT. CHAPTER 1. Night, black is bony, had spread her sable man tle o'er the earth. The piercing winds howled and whistled and whistled and howled. The rain poured in torrents, from clouds black as night itself, save when the chains of burning fire shot through the piehy blackness, then disappearing, leaving the night if possible, more awfully gloomy. Thunder peal on peal ever and anon shook the firma ment from river to river from sea to sea from ocean to ocean, and from pole to pole. O, horrid scene ! CHAPTER II. The storm had ceased. The howling winds had died away, and gentle zephyrs, laden with the rich perfume of flowers and spices, were filling the air with heavenly odors, len thousand frogs, with voices sweeter than the nightingale's were making the meadows resound with the melodious warb lings of their little throats. The silvery moon, pure as chrystal, looked down upon the sleeping world below. Stars, like new dimes, glittered in the heavens. O, lovely, lovely sight! CHAPTER III. A single light gleamed from the stately mansion of the rich, the aristocratic Richard Stanley. By an open window, leaning on her ivory, sat. his only child, Rose. A sigh escaped her tears are steal ing from her heavenly eyes. She is weeping for her absent lover Louis Radford her father's bit ter enemy. Hours passed on, and still she sighs and weeps. A dark form is moving stealthily towards the house it nears the window it rises. Heavens! 'Tis a man ! ! 'Rose, dearest Rose,' whispered he in a voice, than which an angel's could not be softer. Rose hears the voice. ' 'Tis his tis Louis,' she screams, and springing from the window, is caught in the arms of Louis Radford. He presses his lips to hers they are as cold as ice. She has fainted. Half frantic he bears her to an arbor close by, and plucking roses, still wet with rain, he bathes her temples. She breathes she moves her eves open. Where ami?' 'Safe with your Louis,' replied a manly voice. She turns, smiles and blushes. He blushes. Both blush. CHAPTER IV. The moon shone brightly, and the stars danced merrily in the serene heavens. Rose earelelessly threw back her raven tresses, but she was calm as a summer's morn. 'O, be mine, dearest Rose,' exclaimed Louis, fall ing on his knees, and clasping her band in his. Never more will we part If dangers threaten, I will be near to defend thee. Willingly would I shed the last drop of blood to save thy ' 'Listen ! exclaimed Rose, '1 heard a step !' Louis turns and dimly sees an object approach ing the shrubbery. It's a man ! Horror of hor rors! It's old Stanley with a gun on his shoulder ! Louis hesitates not a moment, but seizing his hat, clears the arbor at a single leap! An instant and the lion-hearted Louis is beyond even gun-shot CHANTER V. Mr. Stanley, whose sudden appearance so fright ened our hero, turned out to be an old tame buck, taking his accustomed round among the flowers and shrubs. Rose returned to her room, and in a few niinuies was fast asleep THE END. Negroes Running awat from the Blessings of Slavery. Eight slaves attempted to cross the Ohio River below Maysville, on the night of the 10th instant in order to get into Ohio and secure their freedom. There were to many of them for the skiff, which upset and four were drowned. The other four clung to the bottom and cried for help, which came to them in the shap of a gentle men who had them all put in jail for their masteis. Another slave, who was helping them across, was flogged to the extent of the law 39 lashes. More Troops for Florida. In addition to the force already stationed in the peninsula of Florida, the following companies have, we understand, been ordered by the Secretary of War to Pilatka. Of the first Artillery, one field officer and four companies three from the harbor of New-York and one from Fort Washington. Of the 2d Artil lery, two companies one from Fort Macon and one from Fort Johnson, North-Carolina. Of the Third Artillerry one field officer and four compan iesall from Fort Adams, Rhode Island. After these troops shall have reached Florida, the entire military force collected there for the protection of the inhabitants of the State will amount to thirty two companies or about 1,000 men. Bait American. "The Republic of Sierla Madre." The New Orleans Patria asserts postively that the plan of separating from Mexico the States this side of the Sirerra Madre, and setting up an independent Republic is still prosecuted with great zeal. Some 3,000 men according to this paper, are to establish themselves along the Southern boundary of Tex as, procure arms and ammunition, and, when the right arrives cross the Rio Grande and raise the new standard. The plan is said to be most skill fully arranged, and the leaders are provided with funds. The Patria is of opinion that the Round Island assemblage is realy distined for Tampico, and has in relity nothing to do with the expedition to Cuba. Health of ''Fanny Forrester" and Family. A letter from Mrs. J. dated xpril 10, addressed to her old pastor, at Utica, says : 'Mr. J. and the chil dren are quite well. The former, able to preach most of the time twice oa the Sabbath, arid attend two or three meetings in the week in addition to his other duties. For myself, under the blessing of God, I have again railed a little, and we hope I am slowly improving; though I suppose the dan ger (if it be not an incongruity for a Christian to talk of danger in connection with death) is not yet all past. Life, especially in my position, seems to me a desirable thing; but my Heavenly Father knows what is good for both of us and for His cause ; and I rejoice to be at Hi? disposal." The following by W.M. Pre ad, is the most happy thing of the kind we ever saw. The name of "Camp bell," bright as it is in the constellation of poetic genius, shines brighter still whsn it can give inspiration like this: CHARADE. Come from my first ah, come! The battle dawn is nigh, And the screaming trump and the thundering drum Are calling thee to die! ' Fight as thy father fought, Fall as thy father fell: Thy task is taught, thy shroud is wrought; So, forward! and farewell! Toll ye my Second toll! Fling high the flambeau's light, And sing the hymn of a parted soul Beneath the silent night The wreath upon his head. The cross upon his breast! Let the prayer be said and ihe tear be shed, So take him to his rest! . Call ye my whole! ah, call . The lord of Inte and lay, - . And let him greet the sable pall With a noble song to dny. Go, call him by his name; No fitter hand may carve To light the flame of a soldier's fame On the turf of a soldier's grave! A Yankee Answer. A wager was laid that it was a Yankee peculiarity to answer one question by ask ing another. To sustain the assertion a downeaster was interrogated. I want yon,' said the better, "to give me a straightfor ward answer to a plain question. ' ' I kin du it, mister.' said the Tankoe. ' Then, why is it New Englander always answer a question by asKing one in return!' ' Du they?' was Jonathan's reply.

Arkansas Gold Placers. The Little RockGa- zette of the 1st inst., says: The accounts from the min eral region of the Arkansas and Red rivers are assuming a very promising aspect, and we have strong faith that the expeditions which have recently left onr frontier in search of the precions minerals will be successful. We maybe on the look out for some astounding news from the region west of Arkansas, as soon as the gold seekers reach the localities which tradition has long reported as rich in minerals and precious stones.

If this be true, such self command, Such well directed powers, O! may her little minute hand, Become a hand of ours!" This is very pretty, no doubt; but here is something as handsome by a prelly girl, who celebrates in the E1.

This primeval employment of man is the most healthful of all occupations; healthful for the body, the mind, and the souL What other pursuit by which men obtain honest bread afford such vigor ous training for the physical powers, such various and extensive ranges of mental exercises? And where may the moral nature of man be preserved unsullied from vice, and giow and ex pand more than amid rural scenes and beneath the purest air of heaven ? The farmer's life is not scratch,' scratch, with the pen rap, rap, with the hammer nor an ev erlasting unpacking and repacking of the product of another's labor. He walks forth nnder the open sky, his broad acres spread out beneath his feet; the blue concave, sun-lit, or star-lit, or shrouded in clouds, is still above him.
