Of nil amusements for the mind,
Fron logic dnivn to fishing,
There is n't one that you can find
So very cheap as "wishing!"
A very choice diversion, loo,
If we but rightly use it,
And not, as we are apt to do,
Pervert it and abuse it.
I wih a common wish, ind'.cd
My purse was something fatter,
That I night cheer the child of need,
And not my pride to flatter,
That I might make oppression reel,
As only eold can make it.
And break the tyrant's rod of steel,
As only gold can break it I
I wish that Sympathy and Love
And every human passion
That has its origin above,
Would come, and keep, in fashion ;
That Scorn, and Jealousy, and Hate,
And every base emotion.
Were buried fifty fathoms deep
Beneath the waves of Ocean I
1 wish that friends were always true,
And motives always pure;
I wish the good were not so few,
I wish the bad were fewer;
I wish that parsons ne'er forgot
To heed their pious teaching;
I w ish that practising was not
So different from teaching!
I wish that modest worth might be
Appraised with truth and candour;
I wish that innocence were free
From treachery and slander;
I wish that men their vows would mind;
That women ne'er were rovers;
I wish that wives were always kind,
And husbands always lovers !
I wish in fine that joy and mirth,
And every good Ideal,
May come, erewhile, throughout the earth,
To be the glorious real ;
Till God shall every rieature bless
With his siipremest blessing,
And hope be lost in happiness,
And wishing be possessing !

onc-and-lwenty youth, looking up in the

PACIFIC RAILROAD.
Gov. Stevens' Exploring Expedition.
From the Boston Post, November 22.
Fot Benton. Upper Missouri, )
September 16, 1853. (
Since I wrote you from Fort Union, my
advance parties from the Mississinni and
the Pacific, have met on the ridge of the s,la11' ,,,lring winter, collect many fncts ; partners In the American Fur Company, in
Rocky Mountain. A Kood pass has been rtlfc upon this question, by a meteoro'e.g- charge of the posts on the Mississippi and

had especially been given to the passes from !
the forks of the Missouri those from the!
: forks of the Marias, and the intermediate
; one in which my advance parlies met. i
! Bcf"'e living Washington it was deter-
minca to direct the explorations upon this
pass first, and Lieut. Sa.iton, a son of
Massacbusetls. in command of the advance
parly from the Pacific, had 01 dors to estab
lish a depot at St. Mary 'a village, just west
of the mountains, and to cross the mountains
and meet me at Fort Denton. I arrived
here on the first day of this month, and not
hearing from him I se.it forward a small
parly under Lieut. Graver, to reconnoiler
the pass and ascertain whether he
reached the St. Mary s village. They met
just tliis side of the ridge. The pass in ex--!
cellence exceeds every expectation. Ti c
: ascent in both direction is gentle, and it
would seem that the whole range had been
sunk at this point for the express purpose
of allowing the passage of a railroad. Ac
. cording to the barometer, it is more than two
, thousand five hundred feet below the South
Pass; but I would not venture to pronounce

ry a Valley, at the western base of the

Rocky Mountains, is beyond description,1,
lias a mild climate, and cattle keep fat in
winter as well as in summer, on the nu
tritious grasses. This valley connects all
the passes, and is only five or six day's
journey from the falls of the Missouri river.
I am satisfied that the Missouri is naviga
