THE FREE. '
Ths wild streams leap with headlong iweep
In their curbless course o'er the mountain steep;
All fresh and strong they foam ttlofig, -Waking
the rocki with their cataract song. '
My eye bears a glance like a beam on a lance,
While I watch the' waters daeh and dance,
I burn with glee, for I love to see
The path of any thing that's free. "
The sky-lark springs with dew on his wings,
And up the arch of heaven he sings
Tril-la, tril-la oh, sweeter far,
Than the notes that come thro' a golden bar.
The joyous bay of a hound at play,
The caw of a reok on its homeward way.
Oh ! these shall be the music for me,
For I dearly love the voice of the free.
Ths doer starts by with his antlers high,
Proudly tossing his head to the sky
The barb runs the plain, unbroke by the rein,.
With streaming nostrils and flying mane;
The clouds are stirred by the eagle bird,
As the flap of his swooping pinion is heard. .
Oh! these shall be the creatures for mo,
For my soul was formed to love the free.
The mariner brave, in his bark on the wave,
May laugh at the walls round a kingly slave;
Ana the one whose lot is a desert spot,
Has no dread of an envious foe in his cot;
The thrall and state at a palace gate
Are what my spirit has learned to hate.
Oh! the hills shall be a home for me.
For I'd leave a throne for the hut of the free.

BY BARRY CORNWALL ' .
Touch us gently, Time : ...
Let us glide a-down thy stream,
Gently as we sometimes glide
Through a quiet dream! ':
Humble voyagers are we.

To the azure overhead! -v
Touch us gently, Time; - .
T We've not proud and soaring wings;

Seeking only some calm clime,

, THE CONSPIRACY OF FIESCO.
Besides tlie reality of this. event there is
something, however brief, in the conjugal part
of Fiesco's history which comes home to the
bosom of familiar life; nor is the trivial ac
cident by which he died without its interest,
as a circumstance contradicting the histori
cal grandeur of his attempt. i
i Giovanni IiOdovico bi Fiesco was a
wealthy, powerful, and ambitious nobleman
of Genoa, which may be called the land of
political experiment, as there is scarcely any
form of government which it has not tried.
' -After emerging from the yoke of the Ro
mans, the Lombards, and Charlemagne, it
las at different times been governed by
dukes, by counts, by consuls, podestas, cap
tains of the people, councils of twelve and
of twenty-four, and by doges; but in spite
of every precaution has alternately experi
enced the evils of family cabals, aristocratic
usurpation, and popular, insurrection.
Andrew Doria, a name still mentioned ia
Genoa with reverence, seemed at length sent
by heaven to rescue his country from foreign
interference and domestic dissension. It
was during this short interval of repose (147)
that the subject of our present article en
deavored to interrupt it, assisted by the in
trigues of France and of Alexander Farncse,
who then governed Home and the Church
as Pope Paul III. Most conspiracies have
originated from the grievances of an oppress
ed people, or the ruined lortunes ot bold bad
men and desperate individuals. But at the
moment of that insurrection which I propose
to give a short account of, Genoa possessed
more real freedom, happiness, and peace,
than it had enjoyed for several centuries,
and Fiesco united in an extraordinary degree
the precious gifts of fortune, fame, person,
and understanding.'
In the prime of life, for he had scarcely
reached his twenty-seeend year, blessed with
the affections of a wife whom he tenderly
loved, the beautiful, the virtuous, and tender
Eleanora, and enjoying the irrendship of his
fellow-citizens, he was stimulated bv ambi
tion to aim at supreme power.'
To effect this purpose he joined an ardor,
which no obstacle could resiBt, with a deep
policy and premeditating coolness, which
S . TT
baffled or am not excite suspicion.; iiav.ng
secured men,. arms, and galleys, and distri
buted corn, and money under the pretence
of a charitable donation, he embraced every
opportunity of displaying himself to the peo
pie iu spienaia auire, ana mounted on norscs
. , i .. i m a I
richly caparisonod, gaining the affections of
all by gentle manners and gracetul lamil
aritv. .
On these occasions, as he conversed with
the citizens he would sometimes lament the
pride and oppressive conduct of the nobles,
and venture to runt that a remedy was not
.impossible; but, after a short pause, recom
mpnrl nntinnrfi find Hiihmissinn. . "
Fiesco continued to visit as usual the two
T : a .i .. .. .1 t : . it.n.
OUIIlv 1. U1IU U VUIIUtlll II .111.111
on all occasions with marked attention and
respect.
To prevent any suspicion being excited
by exercising his vassals at his country-seat,
he complained that he. had been insulted by
the Duke of Placentia, when in fact that
nrlnAA l J 4A' him Miitli (niA
.thousand men, and he was able to muster the
same number himself. , At the port and on
board the galleys he had also many depend
ants. ' To account for several of bis armed gal
leys entering the harbor, he proposed cruis
ing against the Turks.

Calcagno, Sacco, and Verrina three of his
most confidential tnends in this unwarranta

rious, and bloody-minded; each ot them

gaged as a means of gratifying envy and
private revenge, more than the probability of

strong personal attachment and considerable
pecuniary obligation, ft , ; " : -;
t , After many consultations, the conspirators
considered the means they possessed as ful
ly adequate to the object in view, and deter
mined if possible to dispatch the two Dorias
without further delay, as the vigilance, abili
ties, and patriotism of this family were ' the
chief obstacles to their dcsigni
i or this purpose they were invited to a
public entertainment at the Fiesco palace:
thus a man of rank, education, and consider
able moral rectitude, who a few months be
fore would have started at injuring a fellow
creature in the slightest degree, was stimu
lated by thirst for power to stain his threshold
with the blood of the venerable fathers of
his country, and under the guise of hospital
ity to commit assassination. A sudden ill
ness of Andrew prevented the execution of
this part of their plan.
Fiesco thought it necessary to discover the
conspiracy to Paul Pansa, the friend and tu
tor of his youth, respectable for his age, his
learning, and integrityhoping that he would
join and assist their counsels.
Pansa replied that from the alteration in
his looks, manners, and mode of speaking,
and from his associating with persons of in
ferior rank and doubtlul reputation, he had
long suspected that a dangerous enterprise
was in agitation; that he had foreborne, from
delicacy, friendship, and respect, to enter on
tho subject, but although he will not betray,
he could not participate in the undertakeng.
The good old man conjured him by the
honors of his house, by his friendship, by his
belief in that holy religion whose maxims it
had been the business of his life to inculcate
and impress on his mind, by those locks
which were gray in the service of his family,
and lastly by his love for Eleanora, not to
throw away the real and certain happiness
be possessed for chimerical and hazardous
expectations, which if they succeeded, could
not elevate him to a situation more splendid,
honorable, and happy than that in which he
was already placed, but if they fuiled would
be productive of death, iufamy, and confisca
tion to all concerned.
,That, to many of his associates, bankrupts
in fame as well as fortune, and looking only
to what thoy could get in a general plunder,
massacre, and confusion, such cosideratious
were useless; but that men like himself and
a few others, who had something to lose,
would do well coolly to weigh the conse
quences and hazard of so momentous and
irretrievable a step. Neither argument nor
entreaty could prevail on Fiesco, and the
worthy veteran departed from his palace in
tears.
The evening of the next day was fixed
for executing their purpose, and a cannon
fired in the harbor by Verrina was to be the
signal that he was ready to co-operate.
An entertainment having been announced,
many guests repaired to the palace, which
they found crowded with strangers and arm
ed soldiers. The persons invited being con
ducted to a spacious saloon in a remote part
of the building, found the leader and princi
pal conspirators assembled, when Fiesco
thus addressed them ;
" The hour at length approaches when you
have it in your power to relieve Genoa from
the yoke of a tyrannic and haughty nobility:
in less than an hour our portion will be hon
orable death, or the recovery and establish
ment of our freedom on a glorious and eter
nal basis. . This is the feast to which I have
invited you.
" The younger Doria has for several years
been endeavoring to secure to himself and
family absolute power. In order more com
pletely to deceive, and that your chains may
be indissolubly riveted, he would establish
despotism under the form of a republic.
Considering me as one determined to oppose
his deisgns he has resolved to assassinate
me, but I have hitherto been preserved by
Providence from his stiletto, for the purpose
of restoring you to liberty..
" You are grievously oppressed by arro
gant task-masters, whose pride and hardness
of heart will increase, should tho Doria fa
mily succeed in their wishes. . f
" If we succeed in the undertaking to
which you are called, I will immediately re
store the popular , government. So well
planned are our precautions, and so effective
the means we have taken, that success and
easy victory may be pronounced as certain.
The city guards and artificers are whol
ly devoted to my will : their number is near
ly three thousand. These, with two thou
sand of my own vassals, and the same num
ber from the Duke of Placentia, wait only
for my orders. '
" Our designs are a profound secret, the
enemy is off bis guard, the danger, tho dif
ficulty, the expense and anxiety have been
mine; to share in the glory, to rescue your
selves from slavery, and enjoy the blessings
I offer, is your portion.
" But as I wish no man to engage who
cannot cheerfully cooperate with haud and
heart, should any person present be averse
to the business in question, let them retire
to a tower which adjoins to my palace, where
they shall remain in safety till the short
struggle is concluded, when I pledge my
honor that they shall return unmolested to
their families." '
The guests who had been invited, as they
imagined to an entertuinment, were motion
less and silent ; but when they had recover
ed from the surprise naturally excited by so
unexpected a proposal, they deciared, with
the exception of only two citizens, that they
would support tho count with their lives and
fortunes. The company then partook of a
hasty repast, whife to each of them his post
and duty was assigned.
A hard, a painful task, still remained for
Fiesco: tho fevor of ambition had not ex
tinguished love: ho repaired to the apart
ment of Eleanora, to which he had invited
his friend Pansa for the evening, hoping that
his interesting conversation and agreeable
manners would prevent her from observing
what passed; for with a degree of cruel kind
ness he had not yet given her any intimation
of the conspiracy.
Supporting as far as he was able tho agi
tation in his breast, he communicated in a
few words to the trembling Eleanora the bu
siness of the night. Terrified and distract
ed she rushed into his arms, conjuring him
by every tender tie to abandon his enter
prise. " .' "
The thunder of the cannon fired by Ver
rina shook the palace and prevented further
words. Tearing himself from the friend he
loved, and from the wife he adored, Fiesco.
returned precipitately, exclaiming, " lore
treat, or even to deliberate, is now too late:
success alone can prevent death and destruc
tion: in a few minutes you will be mistress
or a widow of Genoa." Placing himself nt
the head of his companions they instantly
sallied forth, the city gates were immediate
ly taken possession of "the galleries of the
Dorias secured, and the populace in rms
crying out "Fiesco and liberty l" crowded
through the streets: the wishes of the in
surgents were accomplished. Jeanetin had
rushed at the first alarm toward the harbor,
but fell a sacrifice to popular fury; the ven
erable Andrew, sinking under age and in
firmity, was safely conveyed by his domes
tics through a postern to his villa, a few
miles from the city. The senate assembled
to know their fate, but Fiesco, for whom
everything had been in motion, was no more.
In attempting to get on board a galley, a
plank on wh'ch he trod being insecurely
placed, he fell headlong into the water; the
tide was low, but the weight of his armor,
the mud, and the darkness of the night, pre
vented his extricating himself.
Thus, by an unexpected accident, which
a little care would have prevented, perished
an extraordinary man, at once the ornament
and enemy of his country, and his designs
perished with him. His brothers endeavored
to take his place; but when the people
heard that their favorite was dead, they re
tired in sullen melancholy to their houses,
and tranquillity was immediately restored.
The senate proclaimed a general pardon
by sound of a trumpet; and the friends of
the republic mingling their tears witli those
of Andrew Doria for his nephew, and Paul
Pansa for his friend, soothed hy every means
in their power the soirows of the widowed
Eleanora.

New England Schools. A writer in a
Southern paper, thus describes the Free
Schools of New England :
" The poorest boy in the free schools feels
as high and as proud as the son of the rich
est. "You do not mean," said Governor
Barbour of Virginia, after visiting them,
" that those schools are free !" " Indeed 1
do,"' said the committee man. "You re
member the boy that got tho medal iu the
class we have just examined, and the boy
that lost it? Tho first is the son of that
woodsawyer there (pointing to a man who was
sawing wood in the street,) and tho second
is the scr. of John Quincy Adams, the Pre
sident of the U. S." . The Virginian started
in astonishment at a spectacle like this, and
no longer wondered at the prosperity of New
England."

" He's a poor devil," quoth my Uncle To

world owes so much, are so seldom reward
ed here for the benefit conferred on man

my Uncle Toby.
" How rare it is that we see a rich prin
ter," said corporal Trim, .deprecatingly.
" There is another and a better world ;"
ejaculated Uncle Toby, with solemnity.
" How often they are cruelly cheated
and their hard earned dues withheld from
them, even by those who are well able to
pay up' promptly, feelingly pursued the
corporal."
' " Thou art a good natured fellow, Trim,"
said my uncle Toby reddening, and nervous

" I see thy drift take this to the printer

Sam Slick says " the difference between
a wife and a sweetheart, is near about as
great as it is between new and hard cider
a man never tires nf putting one to his lips,
but makes plaguy wry faces at the other."
"Now is the winter of our discontent." as
the old maid said, when turned of 40, she
found herself without a suitor. . ;

. The Farmers' library.
More than half the first number of Thjb
Farmers1 Liberar? and Monthly Journal
of Agriculture is already stereotyped, and
the remaining will rapidly follow. We bare-.
ly hope, however, to issue the work promp
tly on the 1st of July, as some of the Illus
trations require more time than we had es
timated, and cannot be hurried. A fine Por
trait on Steel of the late Hon. Stephen Van
Rensselaer will face the title-page,, while
an original Memoir of that illustrious man,
with especial reference to his labors in and
services to the cause of American Agricul
ture anu that ot 1'opular Education, will open
the Journal of Agriculture. We design this
as the commencement of a series of portraits
and biographical sketches of early and emi
nent champions ot Agricultural Improvement.
particularly but not exclusively those of our
own country. It is high time that the fame
and honors hitherto monopolized by Warriors,
politicians and statesmen oe bestowed in at
least equal measure on those noiseless bene
factors of our race whose tearless triumphs
are won in the domain of rugged Nature, and
ot which " the spoils" are enjoyed by the
whole Human 1'amily.
The Farmers' Library will open with Petz-
holdt's Agricultural CiiEMisTRY,originally
piiunsnea in i,ouuon last year, ana now nrst
printed in this country. This work is less
profound and dazzling than the justly cele
brated treatise of Prof. Liebig on the same
subject, but it is far simpler, less abstruse,
and more readily understood by those who
have little or no prior acquaintance with the
science of Chemistry. It will be completed
in two numbers of the Library (July and
August,) and may be bound up by itsolf if
any desire it. It will be found complete,
concise, lucid and a signal help to every
practical farmer. We have, on mature con
sideration, decided to open with this rather
than " Stephens's Book of the Farm' an ex
cellent work, but very voluminous, and requir
ing extensive and continual alterations to
adapt it to the wants of Farmers in this coun
try. Pelzholdt's Chemistry will cover less
than 100 pages of the Library. . .
Among the contents of the Monthly Jour
nal, will be found a full and clear account of
the application of Electricity to Agriculture
in England, its cost and its wonderful results.
Also, of the application of Guano the most
approved methods and the effect, &c. &o.
This will be by far the largest, and we hope
the best Agricultural work ever published in
this country. The Editor, Mr. J. S. Srlnnbr,
devotes himself unremittingly and joyously
to his duties, and is determined to show that
the projector and conductor of the first Far
mer's periodical ever printed in this country
has not fallen behind the times.
We do not expect many to pay for such a
work as the Farmers' Library till they have
seen and approved it; we do not expect to
receive immediately any adequate return for
our heavy outlay in this enterprise; but we
are grateful for every intimation of sympa
thy with and good will to this publication.
Subscriptions and suggestions will be grate
fully received by

Chambers' Edinburgh Journal being about to
expire, we avail ourselves of the opportunity
to say, that it has received a support com

neighborhoods, as well as give currency to
the annexed terms of publication.
In order to put this work within the reach
of all classes of the public, we have deter
mined to issue it at the very low price of
one dollar and a half per annum; and also
to furnish it to agents at a discount from this
price, of thirty-three and a Hdrd per cent.
And in order to disseminate the publication
still more extensively, we have determined
to give individuals or companies of indivi
duals who may order Jive copies the advan
tages possessed by agents, and to extend to
them also the benefit of the discount. - A
remitance of five dollars, then, provided it
be in funds at par in the city of New York,
or not more than five per cent, discount, will
command five annual copies. The publica
tion is weekly, contains eight pages, and is
printed in the quarto form, with neat type and
on good paper. It is scarcely necessary to
state that the low price at which we offer
the work, will oblige us to adhere to the
cash system without any deviation whatever.
Lditors throughout the country insertinff
this Prospectus four successive weeks, and
sending a copy containing it to the Albion
office, will be entitled to a free copy for one
year. "
